Tachibana's Birthday Adventure

“Ahhn~” It’s just another spring day as Tachibana wakes from her slumber. She looks around her room still half asleep as her eyes fall upon the calendar. Her eyes slowly widen in terror as she stares at it.
“No…Not again…” She shots in her head as she covers her head with her blankets.
“Tachibana!” A sound protrudes from beyond her door. “Tachibana, get up its time for practice.” It’s Sakyou.
“I’m not feeling too good today, Sakyou.” Tachibana says sheepishly while still hiding under her covers. “I’ll come down in a little while though. I just need a bit more sleep.”
Sakyou sighs and walks away from the door. Tachibana pulls her head away from the covers and once again carefully looks around her room. Carefully analyzes every aspect of it from the lights on the ceiling to the shoes and skateboard on the ground.
“A Skateboard?” Why is there a skateboard here? Tachibana gulps loudly. She leans over her bed and sees that her bed has been propped up on wood with wheels under them.
“Happy birthday Tachibana-chan~” is the last thing she hears before her whole bed begins to move forward. Tachibana begins to panic as she turns to see that Karasu was the reason why her bed is quickly approaching her door. Tachibana yells but the sound of her voice is quickly cut short by Tsubaki’s wrist gauntlets blasting in Tachibana’s ears. Tachibana jumps in surprise and lands on her butt.
“April fools!” Karasu and Tsubaki shouted as the high fived each other. “Another morning prank pulled to perfection.” Karasu continued. “We though this one might be a little harder, so it was my idea to get the ball rolling or should I say bed”
Tachibana rubs her bottom before standing up.
“And cut!” A voice that had not been heard this morning pierces everyone’s ears. “I got everything on my phone.” It was Ukyou popping out of Tachibana’s closet laughing all the while.
“You guys do this every year! Today is my birthday but you guys do nothing but pull pranks on me all day! Tachibana revolted. “Why can’t I just have a regular birthday?” Tachibana runs out of her room and passes by Sakyou who was coming back to see how she was doing.
“Again?” Ukyou rushes to Tachibana’s room where the three girls are watching the sequence of events over again on Ukyou’s phone. “You guys do this every year to the poor girl. And Tsubaki, you’re the leader of the group, why are you acting as juvenile as my sister and Karasu? You guys know Tachibana is a quiet one; she isn’t used to all this teasing.
“We were just messing with her, sis. Tachi knows we love her. But having your birthday on April Fools is just asking for trouble.”
“Yeah, I’m the leader of the ARC Angles, but I’m allowed to have some fun. It’s like your sister said, we were messing with her.” Tsubaki proclaims
Karasu tries to make a break for it only to run into Sakyou’s outstretched arm and get clotheslined onto the ground. Sakyou then looks down at Karasu as she nervously laughs.
“Heh heh heh~ it was all Ukyou’s idea, that’s why she wanted to film everything!” Karasu admits, groveling.
“You big fat liar!” Tsubaki and Ukyou shouted.
The two attack Karasu and start pinching her cheeks while Sakyou watches mildly amused.
“Just apologize to Tachibana later.” Sakyou leaves after saying her piece.

“April Fools! April Fools! April Fools!” Tachibana angrily repeats to herself as she walks throughout the city with her trademark scarf covering her mouth. Looking around she notices that it’s strangely quieter and emptier as she walks into the park. “Maybe I shouldn’t have acted like such a baby. I am the drummer in a kickass band. They were just trying to make me smile.”
Suddenly she sees someone sleeping under a tree. She moves in for a closer look and sees a girl with ample breasts being covered by a white tee shirt. Her jeans are snuggled tight around her legs and thighs tanned skin that has clearly been kissed by the sun, and long black hair.
“H-Homura…from Hebijo!? No, she split from them a couple years ago. I wonder she is doing here sleeping against this tree. A renegade like her out in the open is dangerous.” Tachibana ponders as she continues to watch the former elite student.
“How long are you gonna keep watching me?” Homura’s voice catches Tachibana off guard. Homura looks up and meets Tachibana’s eyes before she throws the girl from ARC Angels a smug smile. Homura grabs her 6 swords and shows that she is ready to fight.
Tachibana flinches and stumbles backwards. “I’m unarmed. I can’t fight her!” She thinks to herself as her mind stumbles to find a way out of this. “I can’t give in though. I represent the ARC Angels. Homura, former member of Hebijo I will defeat you and show everyone that I am not the baby of the grope!
“Baby of the grope?” Homura busts out laughing at Tachibana’s minor slip up.
“Now’s my chance!” Tachibana charges in running a full speed towards her foe. Homura realizing this tries to quickly recover and get ready to counter.


Back at home Sakyou sits around wondering where Tachibana’s been all day. Its 8:57 PM. “I hope she’s okay.” At that time a large explosion could be heard not too far from Ukyou. She rushes over to where she hears the sound as the other girls quickly show up. All they see is dust and rubble on the ground as a giant hole in the wall reveals itself with 5 silhouettes.

Tsubaki steps forwards and shouts. “Who are you? Why have you come here?”
“Heh” Is the only answer Tsubaki gets before a red flash carries her off.
Sakyou, Ukyou and Karasu are stupefied as their leader vanishes before their eyes.
“Ara Ara~ that’s our Homura for you, always the first to take the initiative. Not ever a little bit of time to watch them squirm, pity.”
“Nyahaha, Valkyrie really made a big hole!”
“Hm, that explosion was too loud.”
“I hope we didn’t kill them with just that.”
The dust clears and Mirai, Haruka, Hikage and Yomi are standing before them.
“Thank goodness we didn’t kill them yet.” Yomi sighed as she picks up her broadsword and swings it around a few times before making it pierce the ground. “As of now Homura’s Crimson Squad declares a Shinobi Battle Royal against ARC Angels!” Yomi’s words are clear and precise.
“Ah, here is your friend back.” Haruka says as she snaps her fingers. A tiny airplane flies in from behind them and drops off a battered and beaten Tachibana. “She was quite easy…” Haruka continues before the names of the fallen girl echo throughout the halls.
“Tachibana!” They all cried as the other members gathered around her. Tachibana barely is able to open her eyes. But she clearly is able to say what she needs to say.
“April Fools~”
It takes a second for Sakyou, Ukyou and Karasu to calculate what is going on before Tachibana breaks out into laughter. The 4 Crimson Squad members also end up laughing, except Hikage who show that she is happy by holding up the ends of her lips.
“All this was a joke?!” Sakyou explodes. “I was worried about you! I thought you did something reprehensible and got into trouble.” Karasu and Ukyou clearly show their displeasure by spewing a bunch of random insults at Tachibana. Tachibana continues to laugh all of the while before yelling at the top of her lungs.
“Hikage!!!” She screams, as she pulls Sakyou down to the ground with her. Before anyone can tell what is going on an army of knives begin flying towards Ukyou and Karasu. The girls try to shield themselves from getting cut, but the knives never come in contact with their skin. Instead, they completely shred the clothes the girls are wearing until they are completely naked. Karasu and Ukyou try to cover their naughty bits, but they are too flustered to do so.
Yomi’s eyes sparkle gazing at the two girl’s naked bodies while Haruka licks her lips and mumbles an inaudible. Mirai pouts angrily and Hikage shows a minor look of satisfaction of her work before it quickly disappears.
“Ahhhhhh!” A screams breaks through and catches everyone’s attention. Everyone’s heads turn past where the ARC Angels are standing to another a hole in the wall. Another scream fires from the dark hole as Tsubaki emerges completely naked and terrified. “Someone help me! She’s crazy!” She runs up to the rest of the group before noticing that Karasu and Ukyou are naked and Sakyou is lying on top of Tachibana. Before she can try to figure out what is going on another voice protrudes from the dark crevice.
“Come now, I was just getting warmed up.” A girl with tanned skin emerges slowly making her way towards the bunch. Her breasts are wrapped up snugly and her G-string is also fairly noticeable, but the most noticeable thing about her is her long read hair. It’s Homura in her legendary Crimson form. Homura charges in but is quickly stopped.
“Homura, Tachibana already told them.” Haruka interjects. Homura stops and powers down with a relaxed expression on her face as she catches her breath.
“I thought we were supposed to scare them to death before she told them?” Homura asks.
“Homura, you were so revved up about this that you left before Tachibana told you about the change in plans.” Hikage adds as she scratches the back of her head.
“Well of course, Tachibana promised us a meat feast for doing this.”
“And now my revenge is complete.” Tachibana stands and points at her 3 naked friends. “How does it feel to be humiliated by the Birthday Fool! Wait; that came out wrong, I meant-” Tachibana tries to recover, but everyone is laughing merrily.
An hour or so later Tachibana explained that she found Homura in the park but Homura knew she didn’t have any killing intent so she just messed around with her for awhile before Tachibana came up with her revenge plan. Homura quickly agreed to the idea when Tachibana agreed that she’d serve them meat. Also Homura wanted to do something nice for Tachibana because she knew having her birthday on April Fool’s Day must be tough.
During dinner everyone is happily chatting with each other and getting their fill of crab, shrimp, burgers, ice cream and meat. Yomi is spreading her beans propaganda to Ukyou, Sakyou is talking to Haruka and Karasu is talking about anything she can think of to Mirai and Hikage. Homura gorges on her giant plates of meat.
“May I have everyone’s attention; it’s time to cut the cake.” Tsubaki’s voice rings out as a giant cake is brought in front of Tachibana. Everyone sings Happy Birthday to Tachibana. She blows out the candles and is about to cut the first slice when her face is driven quickly into her vanilla cake. She brings her head back up and looks around. Everyone is pointing to the person behind Tachibana, Ukyou.
Sakyou sticks her tongue out childishly as she begins to laugh. “April Fools.” She says with a warming smile as she hugs she cake-faced friend. Tachibana smiles back embracing Sakyou. Everyone, including Crimson Squad joins in on the hug as they all shout.
“Happy birthday Tachibana!”
