Atobe had had enough. Everyday it was becoming clearer and clearer to him that there were too many things wrong. Just walking down a street, his mind was filtered to only seeing the problems in the world, and these were becoming increasingly obvious. There was so much ugliness, clumsiness, and general mess everywhere. He just couldn't abide it any longer.
Atobe couldn't remembered when his mind has suddenly taken this new perspective on everything. He'd always had a terribly good sense for fashion, and an appreciation of beauty and elegance- both of which was encompassed in himself. But recently it was the opposite that stood out, and seeing so much bitter ugliness everywhere was starting to diminish the beauty in the world that he admired.
So, a decision was finally reached. Atobe would do something about it. Ore-sama would not let there be anymore ugliness to ruin his world!
"..But where to begin?" Atobe whispered to himself.

The next day, Atobe slipped out of his house, unseen by any of his servants. He wasn't quite sure how he was going to manage his task, but he was going for a walk around Tokyo for inspiration. He got a train to a district he'd never been to before, and wondered where to go first. After ten minutes of wandering around, he felt his stomach rumble and realised he'd forgotten to pack any lunch.
His hunger led him to a small bakery, a branch of Pantasia. As he was currently too busy to go to a restaurant and eat lunch, as he would under normal circumstances, he felt he shouldn't waste time eating. So, he decided to buy some bread, and take it with him on his exploration. Inside the bakery, Atobe was suddenly greeted by a bouncy and lighthearted boy.
"Welcome sir! You must be wanting some bread, ne? Well you've come to the right place, I've just finished creating JaPan #65!! It's certain to be the most tasty bread created to date! Would you like to buy some Mister?" The boy exclaimed.
Atobe looked the boy up and down, wondering what he had walked into. Although unsure of the boy's enthusiasm, he wasn't entirely disgusted by it. He could see underneath it all that this boy must surely work hard at his job..and although Atobe had never worked hard at any job before, he appreciated that these people made his life run smoothly. Before he could reply however, the boy spoke again.
"I'm Azuma Kazuma!" the boy said, bowing deeply. "It's a pleasure to meet you, please enjoy the bread I have created!"
"..Nice to meet you, Azuma-san. And yes, I suppose I shall try some of your new bread." Atobe said cautiously.
When Azuma had wrapped up the bread, and Atobe had left the store, he found a bench near a park to sit down and eat. It was a small loaf, but circular and with two layers...a bit like a large doughnut with a smaller doughnut sitting on top, with no holes. But when he broke the warm crust, Atobe could see the insides were soft, white and fluffy, and it emitted a delicious warm scent. He broke a bit off, and lifted it to his mouth.
The flavours were nothing like Atobe had ever tasted. Inside his mouth, the bread melted to cream and swirled around his tongue, drenching his throat with the velvet texture. His back arched, and his eyes closed, Atobe had never felt anything like this before. The scent from the flavours in his mouth travelled through his body, spreading a warm feeling throughout his whole body. It was so pure, and so delicious...he just couldn't contain this feeling..
"Aaaah mmmmm" Atobe cried aloud. When he opened his eyes, he realised a child was watching him with a strange expression on the next bench. Atobe looked down at the bread in his hand. He'd never experienced any food so glorious in his life. If any food could embody the beauty that Atobe loved, it was this. And now he had found the epitome of beauty in food, he was sure he could use to inspire a means to an end of ugliness.
More determined than ever Atobe resumed his task. He hadn't gotten far when a drain on the road in front of him exploded open! Atobe coughed in the dust, and when it settled he could make out two identical, oddly dressed, red-haired boys, coughing and clutching a thin stick each. They looked slightly startled as they looked around.
"George, this isn't Hogsmeade!!" cried one of the twins. "Where in blazes are we?!"
Atobe wasn't pleased. Apart from disturbing his quest in such a rude manner, they also gotten dust on his clothes.
"Who are you fools? How did you blast that drain open, don't you realise that's dangerous? You don't look like you belong in Tokyo.." Atobe began.
"TOKYO?!! CRIKEY, Fred, did you hear that?!" George exclaimed.
"GEORGE HE CAN SEE US!! Who are YOU?! Are you a wizard too?" said Fred, jaw dropping at Atobe.
"A wizard? As in magic? Is this a lame joke...and of course I can see you, you're standing right there!" Atobe sneered.
"But our invisibility charm was working so well until now..and if you aren't a wizard, I don't understand where you got the power to see us so clearly. All muggles would completely ignore us, even if they DID see through our charm.." puzzled George.
Atobe still didn't understand what they were talking about...wizards, magic? Surely it must be some joke. But before he could even say anything else, one of the twins waved their stick over the two of them, and the dust on their clothes completely vanished! Stunned, Atobe knew he didn't imagine that, but he didn't see how it was possible. Were they really wizards??!
"..So you're telling me you two are wizards, and use magic?" Atobe said, not quite so sneery.
"Well, I guess we might as well admit it, since you have seen us do all this anyway. We were trying to make a portal through drains to Hogsmeade, in case we needed it in future you know? But somewhere we ended up in Japan...of all places." admitted Fred.
Atobe didn't know what else to think, but he decided to make the most of the opportunity.
"WAIT..before you go back to whereever..if you can really use magic, maybe you know a way I can rid the world...or at least Tokyo, of ugliness?" Atobe asked.
Fred and George looked at each other. Then Fred noticed the bread in Atobe's hand.
"Oh god, we're starving, we'll tell you if you give us some of that bread?"
Atobe quickly agreed, and broke some off. The twins both stuffed the bread into their mouths, and Atobe witnessed their strange body convulsions, before they suddenly both fell against each other, exclaiming with 'aaah's and 'mmm's.
"...This bread must be magical...I can't think of anything else that would explain such quality and miraculous flavour" said George, a tear running down his cheek. "The purity of this bread would surely overcome any ugliness you want to get rid of.."
Atobe looked down at the bread in his hand again. Suddenly, he knew exactly what he had to do. It was so perfectly clear and obvious, that he couldn't believe he'd never though of it before. And finally, he had a means with which to obtain his objective. Without paying any more attention to the strange twins in the road, he turned around and strode away quickly, the destination in his mind set in stone.

Akutsu was sulking around the club as usual, being extra spiteful to most people, because he was in a mood. He already threatened to beat Dan up for wanting to make him some tea. Everyone had gotten the message and left Akutsu alone, grumbling behind his back at the awful way he treated them. Akutsu didn't care, he cared for no-one, and that would never change.
The door behind him clicked open, and someone walked inside. Akutsu could feel his rage beginning, he'd told everyone to get out..and whoever this was was going to get it. He turned around..and was quite shocked to see Atobe.
Atobe recoiled slightly from Akutsu's face. He'd forgotten how ugly and twisted it was, and this strengthened his resolve. A snarl began to form on Akutsu's lips, he opened his mouth to say something to Atobe...and before he had a chance to say anything, Atobe stuffed the rest of Azuma's bread in Akutsu's mouth. With a swift movement, Atobe thumped Akutsu in the chest, making him swallow. It was done. Akutsu was experiencing nothing he'd ever experienced before. His body started stretching, and then convulsing...until it seemed the spasms of delight were speeding up to non-sensical levels. Then, suddenly, Akutsu fell to the floor. He lay there, completely motionless.
Atobe smiled and turned to walk away. As he left the club, he said aloud, "If I had one wish, it would be to rid the world of all the other ugly things. But I really don't have time to deal with that, Ore-sama is far too generous for his own good sometimes."
