[   Chapter 4   ]


Question 1: What is Snake?

Hina and Koshiba are discussing about 'Snake's motives when 3 Blacks came up to them. Nizhizaki wants Hina.

But Hina runs away and climbs up a tree. As she hid, she could feel someone staring at her again, looks around but sees no one.

The branch she was sitting on breaks ^^ and Ahhhhhhhhhh! she falls, onto a very pretty White girl. The Blacks come back for her, but the girls interrupts them, saying that she wants to talk to Hina first.

"Y...yes! S..sorry about that!" The Blacks have hearts in their eyes, and were more than happy to oblige.

Wow. She's good! The pretty girl is Shirayuki Tsugumi, of Grade 11 (2nd Year) and also a student councilor.

Shirayuki encourages Hina to keep up this fight, she have a lot of respect for brave people like her.

--

Feeling a whole lot better, Hina catches up with Koshiba, telling him that she is encouraged to know that there are decent people in the school. Koshiba thinks Tsugumi’s behaviour is fishy though, since she is part of the group that started the system, and apparently also Isshiki’s girlfriend! So what would the girlfriend of Isshiki do when she knows there’s another girl in his heart? (Ooooo…)

Hina senses someone looking at her again, dashes off and managed to corner a girl. She pushes her up against the wall.

“You’d been following me around haven’t you? Are you ‘Snake’?”

But she isn’t.

“We were in the same class in Gr. 1 at Hidaka elementary! I'm Ru, Usami Ru. We've often went home with Isshiki kun, remember?”

If Isshiki do indeed know Hina, there’ll be other people who’d remembered her too. But, no, Hina doesn’t remember Ru. Ru says its okay if Hina doesn’t remember her, but its unforgivable to forget Isshiki, since they (Isshiki and Hina) were engaged to be married.

[ryou: LOL! Hina’s reaction was quite ….expected! ^^;]

--

Meanwhile, Nishizaki’s ‘Men’ have come back with information on Hina’s past.

--

Ru talks about their past, how Isshiki was a lone wolf who doesn’t even come to school often, but when Hina starts walking him to school (every day), he starts opening up to her and became quite close. But after Hina left, Isshiki went back the being a lone wolf. How they became engaged, Ru doesn’t know.

Hina is still -blank-. She parts her hair and shows a scar on her head.

That was the results of falling 10 meters from a tree. (Wow….).” She could have lost memories because of that…

Ru wants to be friends again. Hina was overjoyed by the fact that she finally made a friend at her new school (she doesn’t want a friend with 5 or 6 holes in his ears – aka Koshiba).

Behind her, Koshiba looks kind of sad.

--

Later that day, someone dumped a pail of red paint on Hina. Isshiki appears and tells her to leave the school, but Hina says she doesn’t want to run away.

A couple of blacks came up to them and starts *teasing* Isshiki, asking him to bow down to them etc. One of the Blacks made a mistake by resting his hand on Isshiki’s shoulder. Isshiki pushes him off quite easily. The Blacks scurried away. Isshiki turns and wiped his fist on Hina’s shoulder. From a distance, Shirayuki is watching them.

Hina studies Isshiki, thinking how he always seem to have a cold, calm expressionless face which is hard to know how he’s really feeling.

“If you absolutely won't leave, I'll give you one more piece of advice. Don't trust all of the people around you.”

Hina looks confused.

“You mean…”

“A certain golden haired monkey.”[ryou: he meant Koshiba]

--

During lunch …

Koshiba is stressing over a strawberry roll and Hina is still troubled by Isshiki’s words. Ru joins them and they move elsewhere to eat. As they were walking down the corridors, Ru keeps avoiding the other students (probably doesn’t want to be seen with Greys.)

Koshiba wasn’t impressed and tells her off. A teary Ru apologizes and runs off. Hina was pissed at Koshiba, but he says that nobody can be a true friend to them so long as they are still wearing a uniform.

Hina refuses to hear any of it, she trust Ru (since she’s just such a gentle character.) But Koshiba thinks that Ru just might be ‘pretending’ to be friends while actually really ‘Snake’?!

“Well, if that’s the case, you could be ‘Snake’ too!”

Koshiba was a bit taken back by that.

“You really think so?”

He looks down and forced a laugh.

“If you fall into ‘Snake’s traps, don’t expect me to help.”

--

In class…

Hina is regretting being harsh on Koshiba (he’s not in class). Snakes starts showing up everywhere in the classroom.

The students are freaking out.

“This is all your fault!”

They turn to Hina and glares at her.

Q2: What are ‘Snake’s plans?
A2: To isolate the Grays

The students start yelling and throwing stuff at Hina.

“Get out!”
“Leave this school!”
“Snake is here because of you!”

--

In the Student Council Room, a snake appeared.

“Why is there a snake in a place like that?”

Q3: Who is Snake?
