Taiga Aisaka

In the empty classroom after school hours, Taiga Aisaka stood flushed with humiliation under the harsh fluorescent lights. The blackmailer, Sato, was a smug, unremarkable guy from Class 2-C she barely knew and deeply disliked, had caught her face down in the lap of their homeroom teacher in front of the blackboard when he snuck back for his forgotten phone. Without thinking, he had snapped some images. When Taiga noticed him, he took off running down the hall. She finally caught up to him before he could reach the school entrance. She tried to explain to him that it isn't what it looked like. That she had tripped and fell into his lap. That nothing at all happened. She tried to explain until her face had turned red, but Sato, just smirked. From the angles that he took, it definitely looked as though Taiga was giving the homeroom teacher head. He saw this as an opportune time to get something he'd always secretly wanted. He told her if she wanted the images deleted, that she'd have to do something for him. He demanded photos. Her close friend Minori Kushieda, who had been reluctantly roped into taking the pictures to keep the situation from exploding, stood behind the camera looking apologetic. Taiga hated every second of it, especially the fear that Ryuuji might somehow find out. Nearly naked, with just her bra on, the tiny Palmtop Tiger struck a reluctant seductive pose, her sharp eyes glaring with a mix of rage and embarrassment.

The situation grew even riskier when the blackmailer forced the second round in the large school auditorium, hidden behind the heavy stage curtains where the drama club sometimes rehearsed. The vast, dimly lit space echoed with every nervous breath as Minori snapped more photos. Taiga posed with her top and skirt hiked up, her small body arching provocatively, her expression a dangerous mix of defiance and shame. She kept thinking about Ryuuji, her boyfriend must never know about this. The blackmailer watched with a creepy satisfied smirk from the seats, clearly enjoying the power he held over the fierce little tiger who usually terrified the entire school.
