Chapter 15: Horikita sidestory.
(This happened somewhere before Midterms).
There is something that happened in an ordinary day.
Aomine arrived in the classroom earlier than Horikita did.
On the other side of the seat, Ayanokouji was already there.
Aomine: "Ayanokouji, did something happened to Horikita?"
Ayanokouji: "No idea."
It's rare for Horikita to arrive after them.
Kushida: "Good morning, everyone."
A moment later, Kushida entered the classroom. The gloomy classroom suddenly became bright and cheerful. It is something Hikigaya Hachiman called, 'The Zone' completely different from Aomine's.
Ayanokouji and Aomine talked about mundane things, until the class bell rang. Even at this time Horikita is still nowhere to be seen.
Kushida: "Good morning Aomine-kun, Ayanokouji-kun!"
Aomine/Ayanokouji: ""Good morning.""
They were both in sync.
Aomine: "There's something you need?"
Kushida: "Yes. Actually, I'm concerned about something. Can I bother you both a little bit?"
Ayanokouji: "Don't say a little, you can take my time as you wish."
Kushida: "Horikita-san hasn't come... to school, right?"
She looked at the seat between them.
Ayanokouji: "It looks like it."
Aomine: "Not even her bag could be seen there. She didn't really come."
Ayanokouji: "What do you want to say by asking this?"
She had some clue so she slowly nodded.
Kushida: "You see, I saw Horikita-san leaving her room this morning."
Ayanokouji: "Eh?"
Aomine: "Hey... Isn't that kinda worrying?"
In other words, she certainly came to school this morning.
Ayanokouji: "It wasn't because she was undisposed that she didn't come?"
Kushida: "It doesn't look like it... thus I was a bit worried. Normally I would be the one to talk to Horikita-san, but I'm hated by her."
Ayanokouji: "She doesn't hate you, she simply hates human relationships."
Kushida: "If it's okay with you, can I ask you to contact with her?"
Ayanokouji: "Even if you want me to contact her... I don't know Horikita's phone number."
Kushida: "Eh, it's like that? How about you Aomine-kun?"
Aomine: "I don't know have it too."
Kushida: "What… what do we do then?"
Kushida looked dejected. Her face shows she's genuinely worried for Horikita.
Ayanokouji: "Isn't it okay by just leaving her alone?"
Kushida: "But—"
Kushida is really a gentle person, she's even excessively worried about Horikita. Even though she hated her.
Aomine: "It can't be helped... I'll go look at her circumstances."
Ayanokouji: "You say circumstances… isn't the next class starting soon?"
Aomine: "But doesn't this make people worried? Do you think Horikita would cut classes?"
Ayanokouji: "This is something… hard to imagine."
She gives the feeling of someone who would even come to class despite catching a cold.
Aomine: "Although there's not much time left before the first lesson starts, if I run fast I should be able to get back on time."
If he run in his top speed, he could possibly go faster than a bullet train.
Kushida: "I'm sorry Aomine-kun... thank you."
Aomine: "It's nothing. By the way, which is Horikita's room number?"
Kushida: "Let me think, it's 1201."
There's still approximately 8 minutes before the classes start.
Aomine: "Alright then. I'll be back later."
Aomine stood up and went to the windows. Kushida, Ayanokouji, and everyone in class noticed a Aomine's peculiar behavior.
And then... Aomine jumped off from the window...

.
He sped towards the direction of the first year's dorm entrance.
Knowing that an elevator could is too slow for him, he decided to take the stairs.
Horikita's room is in the 12th floor. He needed to climb 12 floors.
And so that's what he did, with inhumane speed and agility he arrived at the 12th floor without breaking a sweat. His breathing was normal as if he didn't exercised.
The upper floors are the girl's area. He's feeling anxious and excited at the same time.
After arriving in her room, he took a deep breath and rang the doorbell.
"..."
However after a while no one answered.
Aomine: 'Did she left for school already?'
In order to confirm the situation, Aomine gripped the entrance door knob.
Aomine: "It's open... Could it be..."
Aomine could smell it. The Lucky Pervert flag.
A once in a lifetime that only the protagonist of an anime and manga had the privilege of...
Aomine: "Even if I'll die today... I won't regret it..."
He resolved himself by the probability Horikita would kill him. Unlike the way he died in the hands of some aliens, dying in the hands of a beautiful girl was much better. It's a difference between the heavens and the earth.
He could already feel his lifespan shortening. Having a firm resolve of entering the door, he turned the doorknob.
Then the doorknob easily turned around, thus opening the door. Which meant the probability of Horikita being inside was very high.
Aomine: "Hey Horikita, are you here?"
Since it's one room, by looking inside was enough to find out the situation.
Then...
Aomine: "Eh..."
He acted like he was in shock.
Horikita was inside. She didn't collapse, nor was in pain. She was in the process of changing her clothes.
She didn't suddenly scream because of the unexpected visitor, but calmly looked at him with a sharp glance.
Aomine still had the startled face, his eyebrows twitching. Though we might say he's startled, his face was in fact scary looking for strangers who didn't know him much.
Horikita: "What are you doing?"
She didn't feel ashamed, Horikita stopped her movements and asked him.
Aomine on the other hand used his Internal Energy to take a picture of this glorious moment.
Her glossy white skin and beautiful face. Her silky long black hair. The naked beauty standing before him is like a budding flower. Now he thought he could die happy.
Aomine: "Ahem... This, In fact I was requested by Kushida. She wanted to have me look for your situation. You see, haven't you been nagging on me, not being late nor absent? Usually you go to school very early. Kushida said that she saw you this morning leaving the room, and yet you didn't arrive at the classroom, she wondered if you collapsed or something. So I ran all the way here from the classroom."
Horikita: "Only this?"
Aomine: "Yeah."
This is exactly like how a death row prisoner's last words.
Horikita: "I see..."
It looks like she has sort out the things inside her heart. She put on her skirt, buttoned her blazer and became the she that usually wears the school uniform.
Even the process of dressing up looks so erotic, making Aomine's hormones go wild.
But thankfully he controlled it. He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.
Horikita: "In other words, you came here to see my circumstances because you were worried?"
Aomine: "That's right. Because it's weird that the 'self proclaimed' superior Horikita would be late."
Horikita: "It can't be helped. Something came up.
Horikita said this while finishing changing her clothes, and picked up her uniform that was on her bed.
Horikita: "I was planning to go to school wearing these clothes, but some trouble happened."
Aomine: "Trouble? What happened?"
Horikita unfolded her uniform and showed me the right side of the abdomen. There were a few centimeters of scratch marks. Leaving a hole.
Horikita: "You know that there's a bookshelf in the entrance? There were protruding nails that hooked my uniform. This is such an embarrassing topic."
Sure enough, it was difficult to go to school in this situation. So she hastily returned to her room and wore her spare uniform.
Aomine: "Anyway, it's a good thing that you're okay. The time's almost up."
The time on the phone showed that it was not long before the first class started. If they ran right now we should be barely in time.
Knowing that he's going to be late for class, Aomine was about to leave when Horikita suddenly called out to him grimly.
Horikita: "Aomine-kun."
Aomine: "What's wrong...?"
Horikita's formed her hand like a knife and sent two consecutive attacks in his abdomen and neck.
Aomine: "Guha!! That sure hurts..."
Aomine didn't defend from any of her attacks. Their difference of physique difference is too wide of a gap, it should be enough to tank hits from a scrawny and delicate girl. Though it still hurts since she target his vitals.
Horikita: "Whatever reason you had, have you prepared yourself to accept the punishment?"
Aomine: "I'm guilty. Please forgive me."
Horikita: "The fact that I didn't call the police can be considered mercy. However, I wonder why I haven't cooled my temper merely with this."
Aomine: "Okay okay... I'll let you another hit, I won't resist. So don't call a police."
He pleaded Horikita in order to not get arrested. It would be a huge scandal in Japan if someone like him got arrested.
Horikita did a throw down on Aomine knocking him on his feet.
He flinched slightly holding the back of his head in pain.
Aomine: "...That hurts... Ah..."
But then he shouldn't have lifted his head during the moment he was laying on the floor. It wasn't his intention but he slightly glanced at the white colored fabric under the skirt.
Together with what he saw earlier, it was another seducing feeling.
Aomine: 'Thanks for the meal.'
Aomine thanked on whatever god who made this once in a lifetime event to happen.
Aomine: "What happened if I died there?"
Horikita: "No problem. I've been carefully aiming my attacks so that doesn't happen."
Soon they left the room and went to school. You don't need to say that he's late in the end, but he didn't regret it.
Deep down in his heart, he determined that he would at least brand the image of Horikita wearing her underwear deep in his hippocampus.
