《Different》Chapter 12 - Afterschool

"Are you hurt anywhere Akame ?"
"No I'm fine, I'm gonna go wash it off before it stains"
Akame walked out of the lunch hall. Yugo put his book down and looked at Soro.
"What are you going to do ?"
"What do you mean ?"
"That imbecile challenged you to a fight, what are you going to do ?"
Soro put his hand on his chin.
"Oh yea, I haven't thought about that, do you think I can beat him ?"
"......."
"Eh ? Why have you gone quiet"
"Soro I understand you might be mad because of what they did to Akame, believe me I am quite annoyed my self, but think about it logically, you can't expect to win against someone like him, I can tell by the way he speaks that he fights dirty, so he will probably do anything he can to make it as unfair as possible"
"I know that, but what else am I supposed to do ? If I just apologize then it shows that I'm scared and vulnerable"
"I still think you should refrain from fighting him. Is there anything I could say to change your mind ?"
Soro smiled.
"You could say you'll buy you lunch for the next month"
"Nice try, the exit's that way"
"Haha, alright I'm gonna go check on Akame"
Soro walked out of the lunch hall and stood outside the nearest girls toilet. He then began to shout.
"AKAME, YOU IN THERE !?!"
No response or sound was heard. Soro took a deep breath and prepared to shout again.
"AKAM-"
"YES I'M HERE STOP YELLING !"
Akame came out of the toilet, her hair was still slightly soaked from the water.
"Man this sucks, I would of brought a hair dryer if I knew this would happen, anyways why did you come here ?"
"Wanted to see how you were holding up"
Akame smirked.
"Aw look at you Soro caring about me, i'm so flattered, don't worry i'm fine, it's not like they stabbed me or anything"

"Yeah but your hair"
"Don't worry, I already washed all the food off"
The school bell rang once again.
"Welp that's the bell, we should head to class"
"Right"
She walked ahead of Soro and then turned around.
"By the way, you're not planning to actually fight him right ?"
Soro scratched the back of his head.
"Eh, well...."
"Come on don't be an idiot, I don't want you getting hurt because of me"
"But he called me out,t what else am I supposed to do ?"
"I don't know....not show up ?"
"Not show up !?"
"Yeah it's simple, just wait it out till he thinks your gone and leaves him self"
"That might actually work, but I still feel like we should get some payback for what they did to you"
"Come on let it go, if we retaliate then we won't be any better than them"
"Fine"
"Alright let's head to class, we're gonna be late"
The two of them went to their final class, they moved their desks next to Yugo. Akame took out a blank piece of paper from her bag and placed it on his desk. Soro grabbed a pen from his pocket and handed it to Yugo.
"Alright so how are we gonna do this ?"
Yugo gently pushed his glasses closer to his eyes.
"I think it would be best to stay in the building for at least 20 minutes, that way they may think you already left before they could reach the gate.
Yugo began to doodle out a map of the school. He pointed at the school entrance on the paper.
"They will most likely be around here, waiting to ambush you"
Yugo then pointed at the computer room located towards the back of the school.
"This room is usually open after school for students who want to complete homework or study, we can stay there while we monitor them"
Akame looked at Yugo with a confused expression.
"Monitor them ?"

"Yes, that's when you come in, if possible I want you to use your ability on Mako or one of his friends that will most likely be with him at the time. That way we will know where they are at all times"
Akame smiled.
"Easy. I already used my ability earlier on that idiot who spilled his food on me"
Soro looked at Akame.
"Why ?"
"Let's just say I was planning to get back at him"
"You told me to let it go, yet you were planning to get back at him !?"
"Yeah at first, but then I realized he's not worth it"
"Yeah right"
Yugo placed the pen down on the desk.
"Alright all done"
"Are we all clear on what to do ?"
"Yeah"
"What about you Soro ?"
"Hmm, wouldn't it make more sense to hide in the gym or the sports building ?"
"It would in most cases however a lot of seniors like to go there after school, so we can't risk one of them knowing the situation you're in and exposing your whereabouts"
"Alright then"
Akame began to giggle. Soro looked at her
"What's funny ?"
"Nothing, I just like how we're planning this as if it were a bank heist"
The school bell rang soon after. The three of them got up and began packing their things. They quickly walked out of the classroom and headed to the computer room. Soro sat down on a chair.
"So what happens now ?"
Yugo took out a book from his bag.
"We wait while we watch their every move"
Akame took a seat next to Soro and then activated her ability.
"Alright guys i'm watching them"
Mako put his hands on his pockets and spat on the ground.
"Tch! Where is that little shit ?"
The student who spilled food on Akame leaned over on the entrance wall.
"He was probably so scared he chose to stay inside"
"Man fuck, I can't be bothered to look for him, we need to lure him out somehow"
"Yeah man I get what you mean"
He took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and looked around to make sure no teachers were watching. He then spotted three girls walking towards the gate of the school. One of them being Takimi.
"Yo Mako, check it"
"What is it ?"
"See that girl over there with the light brown hair and eyes"
"Daichi, she looks a little young"
"Not that you idiot!"
"Then what ?"
"I've seen her with that kid before, I think they know each other"
"Alright then, i'll bring her here"
Mako walked over to Takimi and grabbed her hand. Takimi turned her head to him with an annoyed look on her face.
"The hell are you doing ? Let me go"
"No can do miss, we need to ask you a phew questions heh"
The two girls approached Mako.
"Hey let go of our friend"
"Yeah, she clearly doesn't wanna be held by a jerk like you"
"I ain't got time for this"
Mako dragged Takimi over to Daichi. The other girls persistently followed him trying to take his hand off her.
"Yo Daich, this the one ?"
"Yeah man that's her"
Takimi began to struggle out of his grip.
"I said let go, what do you want!"
Daichi took a step closer to her.
"Let me ask you a question. Do you know a kid with brown hair, eye pad on his right eye, around 5'9"
"Yeah that's my brother, do you know him ?"
"Hehe man we've hit the jackpot"
Mako smiled.
"Call the others, that kid will be here shortly"
Akame gasped out for air as she began breathing again, her eyes were widened in shock. Soro and Yugo looked at her.
"What did you see ?"
"Huff....huff...this is bad..."
"What is it ? What happened ?"
"They have your sister Soro..."
