Hi there, this is my comeback! This time, it would be a story about Isuke and Haruki. I wasn't sure if I could write a fanfiction about them, since the majority of the AnR stories are about them, it's hard to be original with this pairing. Anyway, even if I hesitated to write it, I finally decided to try. I hope you'll enjoy this story.

Isuke couldn't possibly expect that taking a shortcut today would have such an impact in her life. Since there had too much people on her usual way, the pink haired girl decided to take another street to go back home. She didn't really care about other people, but these one were particularly noisy. She preferred to be in a quiet place today.

It's been two weeks since Isuke left the hospital. After her fight with Azuma Tokaku, the pink haired girl was left with her two arms severely injured, one broken and the other perforated. Even if she was perfectly recovered, she still had a slight scar on her arm, thanks to Tokaku's knife.

Isuke still didn't get over what's happened in Black Class, during her assassination. The fact that she failed to kill the helpless and harmless girl like Haru was beyond humiliation, but it wasn't the worst. What was bothering the most Isuke was that she lost against Tokaku, she was beating by a virgin assassin. She didn't even kill the pink haired girl to spare her the shame to have lost, Tokaku only knocked her out and tied her hands.

On her way home, Isuke went near a construction site. Since she didn't take this street since a long time, it was the first time the pink haired girl saw this site. Isuke approached from the construction site and discreetly watched the people who were working.

"Isuke hopes there have some handsome blue collar workers." She thought.

The girls' majority seemed to prefer the princely guys (or for a certain tiny assassin, the princely women), but it wasn't the case for Isuke. She never liked guys who acted like princes, she found them too soft and weak. The pink haired girl preferred blue-collar workers, because they are usually in good physical shape, really muscular and also hard worker.

Isuke began to ogle the blue-collar workers. Well, it was kind of disappointing, the majority of them were way too young for the pink haired girl's standards. Suddenly, Isuke noticed the presence of a female worker. It was pretty unusual, Isuke rarely saw girls working as blue-collar workers. Or maybe it was only because she didn't have much interest into that kind of girl, she probably didn't usually notice their presence.

But this time, there had something special about this female worker. Isuke could only see her back, but she was pretty sure it was a girl. She had long and quite messy red hair that reminded someone to Isuke. The pink haired girl's heart began to race when she remembered this person, the only one she kind of appreciated during her time in Black Class.

"Why Isuke feels like that? This poor and tomboyish girl isn't important, and it's not like Isuke will see her again anyway…"

Even so, the pink haired girl couldn't stop watching this female blue-collar worker, wishing that she could see her face. This way, Isuke would see it wasn't this person and stop thinking about her. Suddenly, the girl turned back, which greatly shocked Isuke when she saw who she was. The pink haired girl hid behind a wall, she didn't want that this girl noticed her.

"Isuke isn't dreaming, this girl is …How is that possible? This is too much for a coincidence…"

Isuke carefully observed the female worker. No doubt possible, this girl was really Sagae Haruki. The pink haired girl would be lying if she said she didn't miss her ex-roommate. Even if Isuke didn't care about others, except her parents, Haruki was an exception. There had something with this girl that interest Isuke, but she couldn't know what exactly. Ashamed by her preoccupation about the redhead girl, Isuke decided to leave this place as soon as possible.

"She's just a mere commoner, she's not worthy of Isuke's attention."

Even if she thought that, Isuke couldn't stop herself from taking a picture of Haruki in her blue-collar uniform, using her cellphone, before leaving.

Each day, on her way home, Isuke was taking the shortcut where was the construction site. Even if she couldn't admit it, the pink haired girl really wanted to talk with Haruki. Unfortunately, she was too proud to be honest with herself, this is why Isuke only watching the redhead from afar. Some days Haruki was there, others she was absent, but Isuke still continued to take this shortcut just to saw her sometimes.

Isuke didn't know why she had such an interest into Haruki. This girl was definitely not her type. The redhead was unfeminine, her taste in fashion was terrible, her muscles were too prominent and she was disgustingly gentle. Ironically, if Haruki was a guy, she would have been Isuke's type. Even if she swing both ways, the pink haired girl had a totally different type when it comes to girls. Isuke preferred fashionable girls, the ones who knew how to take care of their physical appearance. Well, the girls like Isuke, but less dominant, obviously.

Then, why Isuke found Haruki attractive? The redhead was the total opposite of her type of girls. No, it wasn't just Haruki's physical appearance that interested Isuke, there had something else. The pink haired girl couldn't deny that she appreciated Haruki's company where they were roommate, so it's probably the redhead's behavior that interested Isuke. Well, is it's the case, it's mean Isuke kind of like her, something that the pink haired girl wasn't ready to accept.

Even if she dated a lot of people, boys and girls, Isuke never fell in love. Her relations never had last three months, the pink haired broke with them when she was tired of them or found someone more interesting. The only things Isuke loved was her parents and money, they were only what matter for her. The pink haired girl had no interest into romance, well it was what she thought until she met Haruki.

When she arrived in front of the construction site, Isuke couldn't see Haruki. It seemed like the redhead didn't work today. A little bit disappointed, the pink haired girl decided to leave. Since she usually took her time before coming home, her parents began to be suspicious of what their daughter was doing. Isuke didn't want to admit to them the reason why she was late.

"Isuke-sama?"

The pink haired girl blenched and turned back.

"Ah, it's really you! I wasn't sure when I saw you from the site." Haruki said.

The redhead was near Isuke, showing her usual friendly smile. They had no escape now, Isuke needed to face this situation. The pink haired girl tried to look calm and unaffected by this meeting, she didn't want Haruki to know that she came here to secretly watch her.

"So, you're a blue-collar worker now, Haruki? Well, Isuke shouldn't be surprised, this kind of job perfectly fit a unfeminine girl like you." Isuke sneered.

I'm not sure if Isuke is a bitch toward Haruki or just a typical tsundere ^^'

If you had read the manga, you know Isuke as a thing for blue-collar workers ;)

This story will probably stay T and won't be as long as The bully and the bullied.

See you next time!
