Chereads / The White Devil, Shirogane-kun / Chapter 14 - Ep 14: Kazuki

Chapter 14 - Ep 14: Kazuki

In a train, Kazuki and Jun were heading to south site.

Kazuki: (Seriously) I'll meet Kurogane! This is going to be my greatest fight!

At other side; in a hideout, Kurogane was waiting very impatient.

Kurogane: Tsk! I can't wait to face that bastard! Soon he will die!

By the other hand, some gang members were outside the hideout as talking.

Gang member 1: Our boss will face that White Devil.

Gang member 2: A time he smashed my face. I'll be happy our boss kicks his ass!

Gang member 3: That white-haired boy always beat us.

Gang member 4: Also, that bastard. I heard he has a harem with cute girls.

Gang members: (Angry) WHAAAAAAAT?!

They imagined Kazuki sat in a throne, as Akari, Nagisa, Hinata and Jun were in underwear; embracing him. He was smiling as saying "In your faces, assholes".

Gang member 5: I'll smacked his face when Kurogane defeats him.

Gang member 6: Yeah!

At other side; Kazuki and Jun arrived their destination.

Kazuki: (Preparing his fists) Now, let's settle this!

Jun: Don't underestimate Kurogane, he will do anything to kill you!

Kazuki: I know.

Outside of the hideout; some gang members were watching.

Gang member 1: Do you think the White devil will come?

Gang member 2: He will, other side…

Then they saw someone coming to them.

Gang member 1: Is he…?

Inside the hideout; Kurogane was fixing his hands with some bandages.

Yozora: So are you happy you'll face with that guy?

Kurogane: Of course! When he comes, I'll…

Suddenly a gang member was running to him. He was injured.

Gang member 1: Boss! The White Devil arrived and crushed the watchmens. Look how am I… (Dismaying)

Yozora: Boss!

Kurogane saw Kazuki was walking to them, wearing his darkglasses.

Kazuki: Are you Kurogane?

Kurogane: So finally we meet, Kazuki Shirogane. The called White Devil.

Kazuki: Now let's see what's up in your mind.

Kurogane: (Angry) You're gonna pay for what you did to my father!

Kazuki: Your father? Who?

Kurogane: Six years ago, you interfere my father's works!

Kazuki: What work?

Kurogane: He kidnapped your girlfriend and you screwed his plan which sent him to jail. There some bastards tortured him until death!

Kazuki: That was his own execution for doing a stupid thing! He deserved that!

Kurogane: And what about you? I thought the White Devil didn't care for anyone since his childhood. And despite that you saved a little girl! Why?

Kazuki: I don't know. It just it was uncomfortable, so I acted without thinking well.

Kurogane: I see, so let's put a end this conversation. I expected a fight!

Kazuki: Alright!

Kazuki and Kurogane walked until face each other. They were in serious mood.

Kurogane: I'll avenge my father!

Kazuki: It's not too late to reconsider.

Kurogane: Enough words! I'll crush you!

Kurogane run and began attacking Kazuki. Kazuki managed to defend himself. Yozora, along with some gang members are watching the fight.

Kurogane: Not bad!

Kazuki: You are different from the lame ones I fought.

Kurogane: It's because I'm the leader of this country side! I'll domain the other sides when I defeat you!

Kazuki stopped his attacks as looking each others.

Kazuki: Pathetic.

Kurogane: And why do you fight? To be the leader of streets like me?

Kazuki: I didn't have that goal in mind.

Kurogane: What? You are the White Devil! And you didn't plan to seed the fear to domain the streets?

Kazuki: Why the hell do I want that?

Kurogane: (Angry) You bastard!

Kurogane stepped back and attacked again but Kazuki blocked that.

Kurogane: You think you can defeat me to make look like an imbecile for that?

Kazuki: You are already an imbecile who defend a criminal! Also you made Ren killed himself for your revenge!

Kurogane: Too bad for him, I'll do anything to avenge my father!

Kazuki: (Angry) Son of a bitch! (Removing his darkglasses, showing his rage eyes) This is bullshit!

Suddenly Kazuki punched Kurogane, making him fall to the ground.

Kazuki: (Angry) Just don't you get it?! I'm not a devil because I wanted! This was the result of everything I had to endure!

Yozora: (Worried) Boss!

Kurogane: Tsk! Good works, but I won't fall with that.

Kurogane stood up and attacked Kazuki. But Kazuki stopped his hand and punched him on his belly making fall again.

Kurogane: (Injured) You are good with this. I see why no gang could beat you in the streets.

Kazuki: You forgot? I'm skilled in hand-to-hand fight!

Kurogane: I knew but you are so naïve to see your situation.

Kazuki: What?

Suddenly a gang member hit on his back with a baseball bat. Kazuki was injured.

Yozora: Ha! We got you!

Then other gang members appeared and began hitting and kicking Kazuki. His darkglasses fell to the ground.

Kurogane: You believed I'll fight with fair? You should have acted with cheats like me!

Kazuki was being hurt by the gangs. They stopped and Kurogane saw Kazuki was very injured.

Kurogane: How do you feel being hurt by first time?

Yozora: Boss, it's your chance! Finish him!

Kurogane: Yeah, but I want to see him suffer very slow!

Suddenly a girl came to the place.

Jun's voice: Stop, Kurogane!

Kurogane and his gang saw it was Jun who was serious.

Kurogane: Natsukawa?

At other side; Akari woke up and realized she was on her bedroom.

Akari: Where am I?

Then Nagisa and Hinata were at her side.

Hinata: Himekawa-senpai! Are you okey?

Akari: Matsubara? And Mizukami?

Nagisa: Jun-san called me to take you home. You were unconscious at the park.

Akari: I was… (Having flashback when Kazuki knocked her) That idiot!

Hinata: Tell us, where's Kazuki?

Akari: He… should have gone to a dangerous fight.

Nagisa: What?

Akari: (Nearly crying) Even I supplicated him not to go, but…

Hinata: Why he didn't tell us about that?

Nagisa: Kazuki-san always do those things on his way, even it means he hurt himself.

Akari: I can't be here as he's being hurt!

Nagisa: Wait! Himekawa-senpai! He probably made this to keep us out of danger.

Hinata: Yeah, he did.

Akari: Even so, I have to see him again!

Nagisa: Why you want that so bad?

Hinata: He could be in danger, but what you could do there?

Akari: Even so, even so… I want to see him again! Because… I love him.

Nagisa and Hinata were surprised to hear her words.

Nagisa: No way! You too?

Hinata: What?

Akari: What do you mean with that?

Nagisa: (Little blushed) Well…

Hinata: (Little blushed) I…

Akari: Don't tell me you love Shirogane-kun.

Nagisa: Of course!

Hinata: Me too!

Nagisa: After everything happened!

Hinata: He showed us we had feelings for him!

Akari: I'm not agreed to have rivals right now, but I need to see him.

Suddenly Nagisa received a message in her cellphone.

Hinata: What is it?

Nagisa: Is that?

At other side, in the hideout, Jun was in front of Kurogane.

Jun: That's enough! Kurogane!

Kurogane: Well, well. Isn't my ex-girlfriend? Jun Natsukawa?

Jun: How much time, Kurogane.

Kazuki was injured but realized her presence.

Kazuki: Jun.

Jun: Are you okey, Kazuki-san?

Kurogane: So you teamed with this guy? How low you fell.

Jun: It's better than being in your team!

Kurogane: By the way, why are you dressed like that? Where's your boobs real size? Also you wear glasses?

Jun: That's the only way to hide from you. I didn't expected you were leading a crime gang. Also your father commited a lot of crime!

Kurogane: It's the hobby of someone, it's personal. So you came too.

Jun: I'm not afraid of you! I won't escape from you anymore! I came to surpass this fear.

Kurogane: By coming here? What a stupid bitch.

Jun: I can't just see how you torture Kazuki-san because of your own like!

Kurogane: Well, but you are in troubles, because you won't escape again.

Then his gang members were surrounding her.

Kurogane: I treated you good before, but now it's going to be different!

Kazuki's voice: Let her go!

Kurogane: Eh?

Kazuki was waking up despite he was injured.

Kazuki: I said… let her go!

Jun: (Worried) Kazuki-san!

Kurogane run and kick on his belly making him fall. Kazuki was injured but still tried to stand up.

Kurogane: Rough until the end? Well, let's keep with the torture.

Kurogane grabbed a metal pipe and was heading to Kazuki.

Jun: Kazuki-san!

But the gang surrounded her as stopping her.

Kurogane: Be quiet, Jun. When I finish Shirogane, I'll take care of you.

Then Kurogane began to strike him with the pipe.

At other side, in a limosine; Akari, Nagisa and Hinata were heading to an other place.

Akari: Kazuki-kun, hold on!

Nagisa: Kazuki!

Hinata: Kazuki!

At the hideout; Kurogane keep striking with the pipe. Kazuki moved but Kurogane hit on his head making him bleeding on his forehead and nearly on his right eye.

Jun: (Very worried) Kazuki-san!

Kazuki: Shit!

Kurogane: Wow! So you are so resistant! But still you're a human, which means you can die!

Kurogane hit him again to his back making fall to some boxes on a corner.

Gang member 1: Yeah boss! Kill him!

Gang member 2: You will be the ruler if that White Devil is killed!

Kazuki was very injured as bleeding, but at his front, there was a mirror.

Kurogane: Ha! So where's your true self?

Kazuki was angry, until his eyes turned into evil. He got up and saw his expression on the mirror.

Kurogane: Oh? That's yourself! The White Devil!

Kazuki: (Angry) Kurogane!

Yozora: Watch out boss!

Kurogane: It doesn't matter! (To 3 gang members) You! Punish him!

The 3 gang members went to take Kazuki, but despite of his injuries, he knocked them.

Kurogane: I see when you are in that mode, you can still fight.

Kazuki: (In his state) I'll crush anyone in my way!

Jun: (Worried) Kazuki-san! Don't fall in that! (Removing her glasses) I was afraid to hide myself from that past, but you endured the most I ever did.

Kazuki was in shock to hear her words.

Kurogane: Nice words Jun but that won't work in a fight, so be quiet.

Then Kazuki was with his head tilted.

Kazuki: Jun, it's true you had to hide yourself to avoid your past. But in my case I had to endure no matter what, even my parents abandoned me, and still I had to live with that.

Jun: Kazuki-san, I saw into you, you aren't so evil!

Kurogane: Silent her!

Yozora grabbed Jun and silent her with her hand.

Yozora: Shut up, nerd!

Kazuki: (As looking his reflect as his eyes in rage) I always scared people because of my granpa's genes, even so even so… (Suddenly he saw Kurogane) I… am…

Kurogane: You are?

Suddenly Kazuki's eyes were serious as breaking the mirror from his back. Surprising everyone.

Kazuki: (In his state) I couldn't be a normal boy, neither a devil… I am just Kazuki!

Jun: (Relieved) Kazuki-san.

Kurogane: Tsk! Everyone, killed him!

The other gang members run to attack him. But Kazuki moved and began to strike them, defeating them.

Yozora: (Worried) How can he still fight with those injuries?

Kurogane: (Angry) Shit! Don't act as if you were powerful!

Kurogane used the metal pipe but Kazuki evaded fast and then he gave a strong hit on his face knocking him.

Yozora: (Worried) No way!

Kazuki: (Looking at Yozora) Who's next?

Yozora freed Jun and run away.

Jun: You won't escape!

Jun grabbed a bucket and launched to Yozora, knocking her.

Jun: Kazuki-san.

Kazuki: Good work… (Suddenly feeling pain from his injuries) Shit! This is more painful what I thought!

Jun: Kazuki-san! You need medical attention!

Kazuki: Yeah…

Suddenly Kurogane woke up and went to Jun.

Kurogane: (Angry) Stupid bitch! Die!

Kazuki: (Realizing) Watch out.

He pushed Jun, then Kurogane grabbed Kazuki from his behind.

Kurogane: (Angry) It's not over!

Both fell to a hole from a part of the hideout.

Jun: (Worried) Kazuki-san!

At the same time; Akari, Hinata and Nagisa had a bad feeling.

Hinata: (Thinking worried) "Kazuki, he always suffered the bullies since childhood, but despite that I cared him. Even when I loved someone else, he supported me despite being hurt. That's why I can't abandon his side"

Nagisa: (Thinking worried) "Kazuki-san, despite he scared me once he was still friendly with me. That time when we blamed him, despite he did it to himself hurting his heart. We didn't understand that. That's why I won't leave him"

Akari: (Thinking worried) "Kazuki-kun, you saved me, even if you were a bad guy. Risking your life like you did when you protected your friends. You kept suffering to resolve your situations. I loved your personality. I love you, Kazuki-kun"

At other side, Kazuki and Kurogane fell to a hole. They were very injured by the big deep. Kazuki was bleeding from his forehead, as Kurogane seemed had his neck injured.

Kurogane: Argh! I can't lose like this!

Kazuki: Ah! I think my head is broken!

Jun: (Worried) Kazuki-san! Hand on!

Kazuki: (Injured) It's okey, this pain is nothing compared with all the pain I endured from my childhood.

Kurogane: Ha! What are you thinking? Are you a hero from a manga? Did you think this will make you a good guy that this society accept?

Kazuki was angry and grabbed Kurogane from his neck.

Kazuki: (Angry) What do you know about pain? You thinked I'm a hero? No! I'm not a stupid hero! I'm just me!

Kurogane: (Injured) Well, then finish me, what are you waiting for?

Kazuki was ready to hit him with a punch.

Jun: Kazuki-san! It's not necessary to do that! Even I hate him, it's not worthy!

Kazuki was angry and ready to hit him.

Kurogane: (Angry) DO IT!

Kazuki: I won't kill you, but if I see you again, I won't show no mercy!

Then Kazuki just hit on his face, knocking him.

Kazuki was walking with difficulty, Jun came to help him.

Jun: (Worried) Are you okey, Kazuki-san?

Kazuki: (Injured) I feel like my head had a big crush, but I'll live I suppose.

Jun: Talking in that way, you could be a protagonist of a fighting series.

Kazuki: I'm not a silly protagonist. (He saw his darkglasses on the ground and picked them up) I'm glad they aren't broken.

Jun: You really like those darkglasses. They are from your grandfather.

Kazuki: Yeah, they are the only memento from him.

Then Kazuki was heading to the exit of the hideout, Jun was helping him walking.

Jun: Kazuki-san, you are really made a mess.

Kazuki: He! I told you, I endured many pains from the past.

Jun: Maybe it's time to put clear your feelings for Himekawa-senpai. That's why you knocked her to put her away of this danger.

Kazuki: (Blushed) Don't talk stupid things!

Jun: To think you had tsundere mood.

Kazuki: Damn.

Jun: But also you should put clear the feelings of Hinata and Nagisa too.

Kazuki: You're right, but if it means I have to hurt their hearts, like that time, I have no choice.

Jun: That can be true, but it's better than leave them unclear.

Kazuki: I'll talk with them.

When they were outside, they saw a limousine arriving. Then they realized Akari, Nagisa and Hinata had arrived.

Kazuki: Akari? Girls?

Then Akari run and hit him on his belly. Jun, Hinata and Nagisa were funny surprised to see that.

Kazuki: (Funny injured) You!

Akari: (Suddenly embracing him) Idiot! Kazuki-kun, idiot!

Kazuki: Akari…

Akari: (Tearfully) Why? Why you just leave?! Don't you care in your life?!

Kazuki: Sorry, for knocking you.

Akari: (Tearfully) Don't you understand that all the pain you receive, also hurt the people who cares you? I didn't want to think you could die.

Kazuki: Thank to worry about me…

Suddenly Kazuki fainted. Akari grabbed him.

Akari: (Worried) Kazuki-kun?

Jun: It's okey. He's exhausted, he'll need to rest.

Nagisa: Thanks, Jun-san for sending me your location.

Hinata: Yeah, we glad you trusted us.

Jun: I knew you wouldn't want Kazuki-san leaves you. Unless you wanted to see him again.

Akari: I'll call the police to urrest that gang, but first we need to take Kazuki-kun to a hospital.

Later; in a hospital room, Kazuki woke up and was covered with some bandages, on his head covering his right eye and right upper body.

Kazuki: Ow! It hurt more than I thought!

Then he saw someone entered to the room, it was Akari.

Kazuki: Akari.

Akari: (Embracing him as tearfully) I'm glad, I'm glad you are okey!

Kazuki: (Injured) He! You are so uncomfortable as usual.

Akari: Still acting rough as usual. You almost lose an eye!

Kazuki: I can't show weakness, no matter which moment.

Akari: But after that fight, you really risked your life.

Kazuki: I told you, it was my fight. By the way, Kurogane…

Akari: When you fainted, I call the police. His gang was arrested. He's been investigated by the incident of Hayato. He will be in jail for a long time.

Kazuki: But he could be free one day, and that day I will have to face him.

Akari: I wish you don't just think in fighting.

Kazuki: Why not? I'm still a juvenile delinquent.

Akari: You could be still the White Devil, but you still have a human heart.

Kazuki: Maybe I should thank you for changing my personality a little.

Akari: You see a beautiful girl can calm a devil.

Kazuki: Well, if I'm a devil, then you must be an angel. (Imagining her with wings and halo) Maybe…

Akari: (Little blushed) Don't say embarrassing things to me!

Kazuki: As long as you are okey, I'm okey.

Akari: Also, I'm still mad with you for groping my breasts.

Kazuki: I did it because you could be away of this danger.

Akari: Be thankful I didn't tell my father for that!

Kazuki: Okey, thanks.

Akari: Anyway, Kazuki-kun, it's time to put an end of this.

Kazuki: What are you…?

Suddenly she kissed him on his lips. He was little blushed for that.

Kazuki: Akari? Why?

Akari: Remember what I told you? I love you.

Kazuki: Are you sure about this? I'm just a boy who seeks fights in the streets.

Akari: Your heart is what matters. When we were kids, you risked your life to save an unknown girl who was in danger.

It's imagining Kazuki and Akari as kids, looking each other.

At next day, Kaori visited Kazuki in the hospital. She was cutting some apples to feed him.

Kaori: You were in a big danger, you know how worry I was?

Kazuki: Sorry.

Kaori: But I'm impressed how mature you became.

Kazuki: Eh?

Kaori: You are like you're grandfather.

Kazuki: I expected that.

Kaori: Also so mature to tell those girls about their feelings.

Kazuki was little worried.

Kazuki: Yeah, yesterday they came so we talked.

//Flashback//

Kazuki was on his bed, the girls were with him.

Kazuki: Girls, I called you because we need to talk.

Akari: Good, because we want to hear your answer.

Kazuki: My answer?

Akari: Yeah, Hinata, Nagisa have something to say before you.

Nagisa: Kazuki! I love you, please have dates with me!

Hinata: Kazuki! I love you, please have dates with me too!

Jun: Oh my! You're so brave to say that.

Akari: But no as me. Kazuki-kun, I love you. I loved you since we meet at first time. So let me be your girlfriend!

Kazuki and Jun were little surprised to hear them.

Kazuki: Girls.

Jun: Don't you have to respond them?

Akari: Jun, also you have something to say, about your feelings?

Jun: (Blushed) Eh? Me? Well, it's true I was at his side all this time, but…

Akari: You have to be honest.

Jun: (Blushed) Alright! Kazuki-san! I began to have feelings for you, so let me clear my feelings with your words!

Kazuki was little blushed to hear 4 confessions at time.

Kazuki: Girls, thanks for your confessions. But let me tell you this. (The girls were amazed to hear his response) I'm sorry, but I can't accept your confessions.

The girls were in shock for being rejected.

Akari: (In her state) Kazuki-kun, why?

Kazuki: You know I'm still a juvenile delinquent. Even I defeated Kurogane, there will be more enemies who challenge me, they could be worse. If they know your existence, you will be in danger, if you are hurt because of me, I won't forgive myself. That's why I can't let you be at my side in love. I'm still the White Devil. I hope you understand, also you can hate me for that.

Kazuki was sad to responde them.

Akari: Okey, we knew you will reject our confessions, we were ready for that. But…

Kazuki: Sorry.

Akari: We can still be at your side.

Kazuki: Eh?

Nagisa: We still love you.

Hinata: We want to be together.

Jun: At your side, even if you don't want.

Kazuki: Girls, why? Don't you hear you could be in danger with me?

Akari: Yeah, but our love is greater than any risk exist.

Kazuki: You…

Jun: He! Do you think this could be a harem ending?

Kazuki: (Funny surprised) What are you saying?

Akari: Kazuki-kun, please accept our feelings until you understand.

Kazuki was little confused as the girls were smiling.

//End of flashback//

Kaori: You must be happy Kazuki, no many boys have that happy ending for every men.

Kazuki: Well, I don't get it at all, but I'll have to discover.

Kaori: (Striking his hair) Good boy. Make sure to recover to protect them.

Kazuki: Yeah.

At next day, at his home Kazuki was recovered. He was changing his school uniform.

He arrived to the cemetery at his grandfather grave.

Kazuki: Grandpa, I wish you see me how much I changed. I'm still in fights, but no as if I want to hurt someone, I do to protect the ones I care. Good bye.

Then, he was carrying his bag as walking to school, also wearing his darkglasses. He met Silver, his wolf pet and stroke his fur then he gave it a small piece of bread, and Silver howled in happiness and left.

Next Kazuki saw Naoto, who was with Haruka, hand-by-hand. Kazuki just gave him a thumb up as congratulating him. Naoto smiled as thanking.

Next Kazuki received a phone call, it was his cousin Kin who was with her father at a sea trip on a yatch. She was smiling as talking with Kazuki.

Kazuki was near to the school entrance, then a girl run and embraced his arm. It was Akari.

Akari: (Smiling) Good morning, Kazuki-kun!

Kazuki: Akari! Hey! Don't be so sticky. If all the boys see us, they will hate me worse!

Akari: I don't care, because I love you!

Kazuki was little upset, he removed his darkglasses but his eyes were normal.

Kazuki: You are really a pain.

Akari: (showing her tongue) Teehee! You know me, what about this. (Suddenly embraced him and took a picture with her cell phone) Smile! This will be my wallpaper.

Kazuki: Hey!

Suddenly Hinata and Nagisa arrived too.

Hinata: That's not fair! Because I'm one of his childhood friend!

Nagisa: Besides, I'm his classmate I know him more!

Akari: Good try, but since now, he's my fiancée!

Kazuki, Hinata and Nagisa: (Funny surprised) EH?

Kazuki: What do you mean?

Akari: (Smiling) I talked with my parents, and they decided to give you a chance to prove you can be my husband.

Nagisa: Don't think an engagement would be your victory!

Hinata: Yeah, we won't let you have Kazuki for yourself!

Akari: Too late, also we kissed already.

Hinata and Nagisa: Kazuki!

Kazuki: Wow! I couldn't avoid that!

Akari, Hinata and Nagisa keep arguing in funny way. Kazuki couldn't stop them.

Kazuki: Hey girls, don't argue with silly things!

Then a new girl arrived.

Girl: Having a good moment with your harem, Kazuki-san?

They realized her presence.

Kazuki: (Surprised) Jun?

That girl was Jun who changed her appearance. She was using her school uniform, but no her glasses, her chest size was like Akari's. But most notable her hair is longer.

Kazuki: Wow! You look diferent, also I thought you had short hair. What happen to you?

Jun: (Stroking her hair) Well, I asked the girls to keep this secret from the rest. The true is my hair was tied with some accessories to hide my image. But after you showed your strength of facing situations, I decided to show my true self to you. (Little blushed) So what do you think?

Kazuki: You look cute, better than you scary nerd version.

Jun: (Little blushed) I'll take that I'm pretty.

Kazuki: Hahahahaha!

Jun: (Funny upset) Are you mocking me?

The other girls were surprised to see him laughing.

Akari: This is incredible; I never see Kazuki-kun laughing!

Kazuki: Sorry, sorry. This is the first time I'm having fun with other people.

Akari: Well, this is new for us. So shall we go?

Hinata: Yeah, let's go!

Nagisa: We have to go, all of us.

Akari: Come on, Kazuki-kun. And you too Jun.

Kazuki: You right Akari (Streching his hand to Jun) Come on, our day starts now.

Jun: (Smiling) Yeah!

All of them ahead to school.

Kazuki's voice: From this day, I'll fight to protect the ones I care… and love.
