BACK TO AYANOKOJI POINT OF VIEW

*Sigh*

A part of me thought about contacting the elder brother of Horikita but I knew that wasn't a viable option. Through what happened to the family of the man that helped me get into this very school, I wasn't about to let something happen to the Horikita family. Someone of higher power, such as chairman Sakayanagi would be a better call for this.

I recall his number from the time I was in contact with him and ring up his number in a secure area away from any lurking lackeys of my father.

*Ring* *Ring*

He picks up his phone not too long after I press the call button. I was surprised that he'd pick up the line from some unknown number but he did, which works out in my case.

"Hello?"

"Oh hello Mr.Chairman, it's Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. I've found myself in something troublesome and I need some help from you." I don't know how else I could've worded that considering the situation I'm in right now...

"Ho, I wasn't expecting a call from you, especially from a random number from the campus..."

"Sir, this is a bit bothersome but I'm not actually in the campus, something came up and I'd like to explain it better in person if possible."

"In person...? Not on campus...? What's going on here?" He questionably asks me.

"As I just said, I'd like to explain better in person but the gist of the situation is that I'm currently in the streets in downtown Tokyo and would like if you could please take me in for a temporary amount of time."

"This... I've never experienced such a situation but if it's coming from you, it must be something related to your father. I'll have a vehicle pick you up, and escort you to my estate. We can discuss details there, it seems you've gotten yourself into quite a situation."

"I know you're the only person who can help me in this and I was correct after all, see you in time Mr.Chairman."

I proceeded to inform the chairman about my location based off street signs and I was told to look out for a black Audi. I gave a description of my current self so they can keep an eye out for me and then I wait... wait and wait until my ride is here.

Sure enough, in a matter of 10 minutes I saw the Chairman's car pull around the corner and it seemed they had seen me as well. I walked up to the luxury car, in all it's glory and a man, around 6'2 in height had come out of the passenger seat and opened the door for the rear door for me to enter. It was probably one of the Chairmans security guards.

"How grand" I thought as I respectfully entered the car. They didn't bother confirming if I indeed was Ayanokoji or not but it seemed they had a picture of me to use as reference.

As the car took off, I came to the realization that I've barely ever been in a car before... Not sufficient opportunities in the white room, the closest thing I've been on is probably a bus... Kind of sad when I think about it now but that's a small part of why I left that place afterall. To experience things that the "normal" teenager experiences, although I don't know if riding in a car qualifies for that.

A short 8 minute ride leads us further away from the urban setting of Tokyo to a less human dense area with more prominent houses rather than apartment buildings and offices. There was no traffic in that area. I took a glance around the environment and it was one that gave off a high class aura, houses that were massive and could easily cost a fortune.

Soon, we pulled into a gated property and shortly in front of what I assume was the Chairman's house, or should I call it a mansion.

I see the silhouette of a man standing at the front door, with a well built frame and the closer I got, it was the man himself, Chairman Sakayanagi standing with his arms crossed in front of his manor waiting for me to arrive. I step out the car and look towards his direction as our eyes meet and I notice the look of confusion on his face. I made the first move.

"It's a pleasure to meet once again, I appreciate the help." I said to him.

"I haven't helped with anything yet, come inside we'll discuss the situation."

"..."

I follow him and enter the mansion, with the it's tall ceilings and massive chandelier, it gives off the aura of a rich man which he was.

"Before we proceed, you're soaked, please follow the lady over there, my daughter and get a fresh change of clothes"

Hm Daughter?

I take a glance to my right, where there's a hallway and see the figure of a woman. She could easily be considered a beauty at first glance. With silver hair, the exact same as Arisu's, this has to be her older sister. She has a calm resting face and gives off the aura of someone dignified, much like Arisu. I never knew she had an older sister.

Although the elder sister has no relation to Arisu in terms of their body figures, she's much taller with less of a loli build, I think to myself...

"Ayanokoji, this is my eldest daughter, Akiha Sakayanagi, my first daughter and the elder sister of Arisu. Please make your acquaintance with her and follow her lead. I'll see you after you're done and we can get to business." He tells me. I look back and the bodyguards are gone and probably stationed outside the house now.

I make direct eye-contact with Akiha and she slowly waves her hands towards me to follow her as she waits for me to catch up to her at the entrance of the hallway. I make my way in front of her and she makes her introduction.

"Nice to meet you Ayanokoji-kun, I'm sure father already told you but I'm Akiha Sakayanagi. I've heard some interesting things about you from my father." She tells me.

She was around 5'4 and had longer hair than Arisu, which went down, past her elbows. She didn't seem to have any physical limitations. Her voice was calming and easy to the ears I thought.

But... Interesting things about me? I wonder what the chairman could've told her, I don't think I'm all that interesting at least.

"It's nice to meet you too Senpai, I can't quite say the same, your little sister never mentioned she had an elder sister." I tell her

"Arisu huh, you two are well acquainted it seems?, how's that spoiled little girl doing?"

She didn't look overly fond to hear her name, maybe there was something once going on between them but who knows.

"Something like that, she's doing fine actually, I think it's fair to say she's leading her class exceptionally"

"I see, as expected of that girl, let's move on... Please feel free to call me by my first name, although I'm older than you I don't care for those things and don't call me senpai again will you." She tells me, with a smile. Although giving off a mature vibe, Akiha seems to be a more outgoing person.

"Okay then, if you don't mind me asking Akiha, how come you're here?"

"I don't live here. I'm in my last year of my bachelors degree and I moved out this year after I turned 21. I'm currently just here during my break, I'll be leaving next week. It's sheer coincidence we ran into each other."

Oh so she's merely 3-4 years older than me as I'm 17 myself, although I have to say she gives off the aura of someone older than 25 while being approachable at the same time. I don't think she's nearly as talented or smart as Arisu but it seems she's enjoying her life as a regular student and bachelor, she's likely above average but she's not dumb in any way and seems competent. 

"I see..." Before I could continue she cut me off

"And by the way Ayanokoji, may I know how you're even here right now? I don't know what's up with that school but aren't you like... not allowed to leave or something?" She questions me with full curiosity gleaming from her eyes.

"Well uh... How about you stick around when I explain to your father, I don't want to have to explain it twice, it's complicated." I reply to her.

I don't think he'll mind if Akiha is around for my explanation, at least I don't care that much, she seems laid back and trustworthy... I think. 

"O-Oh, okay then and we're here, pick out whatever you need from the wardrobe, take a shower quickly, I'll be outside waiting for you." She tells me.

"You really don't have to, I'll make my way back to the main hallway where we first were after I'm done and meet up with you there." I told her.

"Nice try, I can't have a random guy I don't know roaming around my house now can I? Although you seem dignified enough, I just can't... now hurry it upp." She says with a small friendly grin on her face.

To be Continued.

What we're your thoughts on this chapter? How we feeling about Arisu's older sister??

Sorry for the really long break guys...
