A Little Groping

"Oh-oh..."

Kei pulled Inori's small frame further into the restroom and then across it, till she was thrust against the bench near the back.

"You little creeper... I finally caught you!"

Kei turned back toward Subaru.

"This is the one who's been following you everywhere lately."

Subaru looked to Inori, who again showed no emotion of any kind, but averted her grey eyes away from his gaze.

So it's been her... probably all along too...

"Why have you been trailing her?"

Kei asked forcibly on Subaru's behalf, but Inori didn't budge.

"Tell us you little..."

Her captive still did nothing.

"Don't you ignore me, you creepy psycho..."

She only looked at Kei blankly as she shook her jacket, which somehow sparked more aggression from Subaru's self appointed protector.

"I'm not above smacking a confession from you..."

Akashi was irate enough to change her grip to her collar and arm, before twisting Inori further; pushing her face away toward the wall and her body over the small wooden bench rails along it, before Inori finally spoke.

"If you're going to... do naughty things to me..."

The small girl tugged her own skirt up and pushed out her light-blue panty covered butt toward Kei.

"...I'd rather not see, so do me from behind."

With a look of utter repulsion, Kei stepped back and let go, while Inori took her brief opportunity to run, jostling free and making a dash for the door, but Subaru stepped between the small girl and her escape.

"Sekiya-sama... - Ah!"

Kei grabbed her arm this time and wrenched her back.

"You nasty little perv... the hell I'd do that!"

She looked at Kei with the slightest hint of confusion.

"Isn't that what all guys want? To de-flower an innocent young girl?"

"No... and you're no 'innocent young girl'."

Inori just stood in Kei's grip and looked blankly at her, until she made another sudden move, this time directed at her holder.

"Eh?!"

Araki had grabbed Kei's crutch with her small free hand, completely shocking Kei as she then patted around for something - that wasn't there.

"Huh... there's no..."

"Don't... touch there!"

Inori swung away as she was shoved harshly clear of Kei and plummeted straight into Subaru.

"Save me Sekiya-sama... from that strange un-man!"

She looked up at Subaru's stunned face with no trace of emotion again in her blank grey eyes.

Things are going way fast in here... Araki definitely registered Kei's lack of manhood just now... that's bad... real bad right...?

"Huh?"

Suddenly something also grabbed Subaru from below, as the small one clung to his side, her hand got a hold of substance from over his clothing, and this time Inori had an emotional response.

"Se...kiya...!?"

She collapsed back onto her small butt, down to the floor between them, with wider eyes of shock.

Why me too...?! Forget bad... this is completely disastrous...!

"How dare you...!"

Kei had gone red as she hadn't gotten over her own discovery yet and fumed behind her.

From the ground, Inori made a quick recovery, and then went for another fast dash, and while Subaru had guessed she would go for the door, so he stepped wide to block her again, she suddenly sprung up, between Subaru's legs, and also up his clothes.

"Ah -!?"

Her head already was up near his crutch before he could move to intercept her.

"Oh... there really is..."

The tiny girls muffled voice emerged from under his long blue skirt.

She's right up against my...!

Subaru's fist came down out of reflex and whacked the top of Inori's unseen head, and she spatted back to the ground below.

"Ouch!"

What...? What's wrong with this little crazy girl...?

Kei stepped over and got a tight grip on her leg, and dragged her still body away from Subaru.

"What's wrong with you!? Normal people don't do that!"

Kei practically trembled with anger.

"I say we throw her from the roof - no-one will know then..."

"Sekiya is a guy..."

Inori said quietly to herself, which peeved Akashi even more.

"You listen to me now Araki; you're not going to say a word about this, not to anyone - you got me?"

"Uh, unhand me you un-man you."

Kei looked ready to punch the smaller one with a tight fist.

"I'm a girl you moron...!"

"Like me?"

"I am not like you!"

Inori looked slightly confused, while Kei looked ready to pummel her even more senseless.

"I'm going to knock that frickin look off your face... ya stupid twerp!"

"I'll tell."

Her words brought an end to the shouting and ushered a lingering hush between the three.

"I'll tell everyone... even if you punish me here - I will!"

Kei's rage slowly dissipated while Inori stayed down on the floor.

"You have to go, leave this school, then I'll stay quiet about it."

"What?"

Why just her...?

"No..."

Akashi hesitated, but still held onto Inori's leg as the tiny one twisted to see her.

"You are a liar, for years you've lied, so you should leave."

Kei went squeamish as her truth was brought against her.

"Sekiya-sama stays here at school and you go, or I tell!"

Kei's worry and fear finally overcame her anger as she growingly looked ill.

Huh... so I'm fine...? But that's so unfair for Kei... Well if she still wants me to stay, then... I'll use her idolisation of me against her...

"If Kei has to go, then I do too..."

Inori's slightly confident look broke to a full panic after hearing Subaru's declaration.

"No!"

She glanced back and forth between the two, then only at Subaru, while Kei turned her sights to him too, with some mild relief.

"If you say nothing, then I'll stay, alright?"

Subaru looked down on her as surely as he could, with his hands squarely on his hips.

"Yes, yes, I'll be quiet."

The tiny brown haired girl nodded.

"No one finds out..."

"I'll die before I tell!"

Kei let her go again, and gave a tiny nod Subaru's way.

Inori returned to her feet then, eyeing them both for a few moments, as the others relaxed, only a little, before uttering as she glanced at each.

"Sekiya has big male parts..."

Subaru blushed.

"Akashi has no male parts..."

Araki almost looked excited then.

"Did you swap bits...? Can I swap mine out too?"

Is this girl...? Is she educated at all...?

"What?!"

Kei huffed out.

"I would like to try it... so... do whatever spell or ritual you need to."

The other two went quiet from her complete nonsense she asked for, till Subaru slowly admitted.

"No... I've always been a guy."

"Oh... I would've liked a session with big male parts..."

Inori's slight expression changed to disappointment.

Session...?

"Okay... so whatever that was isn't happening... but we'll hold you to your word then... not a mention to anyone about us not having... I mean us being different from how we dress..."

Kei stumbled to get her point across, as she recovered and doubly make sure the little idiot didn't give them up.

"Yes, for sure."

Inori gave back to Kei, while Subaru gave thought that he'd never actually seen her talking with anyone else, unless it had been required of her. 

He was about to step aside to let her leave, when he remembered the real reason they'd grabbed her, and Subaru also wanted one more pledge from the little troublemaker.

"Araki, could you stop stalking... I mean; not hide in the shadows and follow wherever I go... can you do that for me?"

She seemed disappointed again, and failed to speak.

"Can you just... um, act like regular people... around me?"

She still only stared blankly.

I don't know it my words are actually computing in her head...

"Just keep a low profile, and not stare at and alarm Subaru..."

"I'm terribly sorry! I did not mean to cause alarm."

She bowed to Subaru after Kei helped him out.

"Just be casual, you could even walk with me if we're going the same way..."

Is that enough of a sweetener for her to take a less creepy approach...?

"I will walk three steps behind you, as I could never walk beside you Princess..."

She hesitated on the given title, but Subaru reassured her.

"You can still call me that, if you wish."

"Thank-you Princess."

Then she just stood there and stared at him again.

"Uh, you can go..."

She bowed again, and forcefully made herself slowly pass by while Subaru held the door open for her, but as she began down the corridor, she started to skip a little, bouncing her side-ponytail.

"I still don't feel too well about just letting her go..."

Kei spoke up again as they continued to watch her return to the classroom.

"What more can we do... I mean you can't have her 'taken care of' right...?

"Yeah..."

Kei strung the word out and didn't sound at all that convincing though.

Huh...?
