Hironaka Akae, Tomboy and Delinquent

Akae the Beast, that is the way most at school addressed the girl known as Hironaka Akae.

A boyish cat-girl with short gray hair, red eyes, and a permanent smug grin on her face.

She is not the bustiest in school, but her butt was rumored to be one of the finest around. She was also a virgin, and someone that was known to have never dated - she just scared off boys and girls without a care.

From what I could find out, she had also taken lessons in boxing and karate, making her not only a brawler, but a smart fighter at that.

She wasn't part of the gangs at school as far as I could tell, but that was mostly because she tended to be too relentless and way too unpredictable for the other delinquents to be fine with having around.

Rumors also suggested Akae had been behind the fall of the previous 'thug king' at school, so she may have what it takes to defend me from the eventual repercussions of breaking up with my current GF.

As I found her leaning by the wall near the bathrooms' doors as she checked anyone to pick a fight with, I decide it is best to rip the bandaid off fat and hard. Walking up to her, I soon had her full attention on me and-

"Oh look, it's the American."

I frowned at the exclamation, especially since it lacked any malice and appeared amused at best.

"Hironaka-san-"

"Bah, it's Akae. And what do you want?"

Regaining my composure, I managed to speak without hesitation.

"I need to talk you, in private."

The cat-girl perked up at the request, eyes showing an inward clash between flipping me off or actually agreeing to me. To my relief, the latter option win her over.

"Fine, but I am giving you five minutes at best, one at worst."

Worked for me, so I led her to the rooftop to talk. The place was private enough and no one would disturb us for the little time I intended to use to explain my situation and ask her out for a date.

Once there, I dropped the news about my girlfriend's cheating, the plan I had, and the reasons I thought she was ideal for this. Of course, she is annoyed for asking her to be 'my fake GF', but she seems to still consider it.

Like moments ago, Akae is conflicted over the idea, but she seems to perk up over some thinking she did on the matter, and then a smug grin appeared on her face.

"Fine, I'll accept it but... I have a price."

I tensed up at those words, never good news but I was willing to see where this cat-girl was going to take me.

"What is it?"
