The Harpie With the Clipped Wings
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh GX or its characters. I also do not own Lydia. My very good friend, moewmeow16, does.
"HYAA!" a loud crash could be heard through out the forest. The students looked at their defeated classmate who was sprawled out in the ground. A woman at the age of 23 looked down at the boy with a smirk. "Anyone else want to question me being here?"
"No sensei!" the students answered as if she was a drill sergeant.
Her face softened and she crossed her hands over her chest. "You are dismissed. See you in music class." The class walked away in different directions to get to their next class.
"I see you have been enjoying your new position, Professor Taylor." A voice said coming from the forest.
"I know it's you Chancellor Sheppard." The teacher said without turning around.
The much older man stepped out into the shadows. "You certainly have changed in many ways, Rose."
Rose Taylor definitely changed in some ways. Her hair got a lot longer that ended mid-back and had scarlet red streaks. She kept it in a low ponytail and put it down more than she did when she was younger. She also grew out her bangs. Her body became more developed and curvy with age and physical training. She also grew a few more inches.
Her outfit was also different. She wore something similar to a beige turtleneck except it had no sleeves, ended a few inches above her belly button and zipped up in the front. She also wore a black miniskirt and a long beige trench coat that practically reached the floor. The things that didn't change were that she still wore high-heeled knee-high boots and her signature biker hat and sunglasses.
Her personality didn't change at all. She could still be temper mental and sweet at the same time. Even though it was her first day, she was admired by many of the students at the Academy. She did, however, act very cold or smug to people she wasn't close to.
"I'm glad that you were able to give me the job, Chancellor Sheppard." Rose asked walking towards him.
"Not at all. We needed a music teacher and I wanted to see how well the self-defense program went." He told her.
"I'm surprised that you knew I was able to fight." Rose said, as they walked back to her classroom.
"You were in a singing group with a quarter demon swordswoman/archer, a kickboxing/boxing bat, and a waterbending and firebending princess that spar on a daily basis. I had a feeling that you would have to learn how to defend yourself in order to win an argument that went out of control." He replied with a smile.
"You are correct on that part, Chancellor." She smiled back. They stopped in front of her classroom. "How educated are these students in music?"
"All they have gotten up to is learning how to read G clef music." Chancellor Sheppard informed her.
"That's it?!?!? The earlier teacher was either not trained for teaching or just too lazy!" Rose exclaimed.
"Professor Miterai was a very distracting teacher to the students, so I had to fire her." He said, watching the students walk into the room. "Now that I think about it, she did get her degree off the Internet."
"At least you know you won't have that problem with me." Rose said with a smirk.
"Don't forget to come to the teacher's dorm dining hall for dinner and to meet the other teachers." Chancellor Sheppard told her.
"Alright. Don't worry." Rose walked into the room filled with hormonal-struck teenagers. She walked to the front of the room and smirked. "Hello class. I am Professor Taylor and I am your new music teacher and self-defense instructor. And most of you probably think this is a very deadly combination. The students who have been in the class before you will agree."
At the Teacher's Dining Hall
"Hello fellow faculty. I would like to introduce the rest of you to our new music/self-defense teacher, Rose Taylor. She will also be the head teacher for the female Ra Yellow dorm" Chancellor Sheppard announced to the several teachers standing in different places around the room, some stopping mid-conversation to listen.
"Did you say Rose Taylor?!?" asked a man with short brown hair that was spiked in the front. He wore a white long-sleeved button down shirt and a red tie. He also wore black pants and shoes.
"Yes he did. Why do you ask?" Rose asked, stepping into the room. She wore a short strapless black dress, a yellow belt, an open customized girl's Ra Yellow jacket, and black high heeled ankle boots. She had her hair down in layers and they still had the red streaks. She still wore her biker hat and her sunglasses.
"I am a big fan, Miss Taylor!" he said, suddenly next to her with a pen and a notepad. "Can I have your autograph?"
"I do not think it is wise that you act like this, especially since I am your coworker and pretty much see you everyday." She said with a glare. She took the notepad from him, signed really quickly, and gave it back to him. "That is the only time I will be doing that on the island, so I suggest you don't sell it on EBay."
(A/N: I do not own EBay. Whoever created it does.)
"Thank you, Miss Taylor." He said in fluent English.
"Your welcome. I'm guessing that you are the English teacher?" Rose asked in equally fluent English.
"That's right. I'm also the head teacher for the male Slyfer Reds." He said, back in Japanese. "I'm Shuu Akiyama."
"You already know my name." Rose said with a smile.
"Stop flirting with her, Shuu. You're scaring her." A woman with long wavy red hair and green eyes walked up to them. She wore a white lab coat with a customized girl's Slyfer Red uniform underneath. "Hi, I'm Koboshi Ayanokoji. I'm the school nurse, computer teacher, and head of the female Slyfer Red dorms."
Next to her was a woman with short brown choppy hair. She wore an open cutoff version of the girl's Obelisk Blue jacket, a black tube top that ended in a triangle, the uniform skit, and boots that ended mid-thigh with alternating stripes of blue and light blue. "I'm Lydia Saleigh. I'm the Science teacher and head of the Obelisk Blue female dorms."
"Nice to meet you." Rose said, holding out her hand, both Koboshi and Lydia accepting it.
As they talked, a woman with long straight blond hair and grey eyes glared at Rose. She wore a white suit jacket with matching miniskirt and white stiletto heels. Next to her was a man with long black hair pulled back into a ponytail, black sunglasses, and a built upper body. He wore a blue button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black pants, and black shoes.
"Why the hell is Rose here?!? I was supposed to be the beautiful one of the teachers." The blonde complained.
"Stop complaining." The man said coldly.
Rose looked around and saw the two talking to one another. "Who are the two people in blue over there?" she asked Shuu and Koboshi.
"The blonde one is…" Lydia started.
"Angel Kashiwagi." Rose interrupted. "She was in my junior high class."
"She's Chancellor Sheppard's secretary." Shuu said, with hearts in his eyes.
"'Tall, Dark, and Handsome' over there is Takeshi Yokinawa. He's the head of the Obelisk Blue male dorms, gym teacher, and Social Studies/History teacher." Koboshi said, swooning.
"I have a feeling that you both adore the people you have just described." Rose said with a smile. She was glad that they were pretty much around her age so that she could talk to them. "So who's the head of the male Ra Yellow dorms?"
"That would be me." A man about Rose's age stepped towards her. He wore a yellow button down shirt, a black tie, black pants, and black shoes. He wore little rectangular-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Long time no see, Rose."
Rose gapped at the man. "Bastion? Is that you?!?!" She ran up to him and gave him a hug, her coworker returning the hug. She stepped out of the embrace and looked at him. "I can't believe it! What are you doing back at the Academy?"
"I'm the head of the Ra Yellow male dorms and the new Math teacher." He said looking at her. "You definitely have grown up."
"You're just saying that." She said, while blushing. "You have too. Have you been working out or something?" Bastion also became pink with the complement.
Angel walked over to Rose and slapped her. The retired singer brought her hand up to her face, realizing that the blonde's nails also made cuts on her cheek.
"That's repayment for hitting my boyfriend!" Angel spat at her and walked away with a smug look on her face.
"You haven't changed on bit, Kashiwagi. She should be happy Chancellor Sheppard left the room or her fake ass would be fired in a second." Rose murmured, glaring at the secretary. "Wait a minute, what boyfriend?"
"You didn't know? Bastion and I are dating!" Angel gave Bastion's arm a squeeze. Bastion looked up at his best friend and gave her a look that said I'm sorry I didn't tell you. The whole room was in shock.
"When did this happen?" Shuu exclaimed, tears streaming down his face.
"Why the hell did you get together with the junior high slut?!?!?!?" Rose exclaimed. "You hated her when we were younger!"
"Rose, she's changed her ways." Bastion explained.
"Someone like that can't change their ways." She seethed, glaring at the both of them in disgust. "I thought you had better taste than that."
"Why do you care all of a sudden?" Angel said.
"Because he's my best friend. Always was, always has, and always will be." Rose responded, crossing her arms. "And a blonde bimbo ain't going to change that!"
"Rose, let's just go." Lydia said.
"I'm coming, guys." Rose walked towards her friends and looked at Bastion. "I'll see you at Jay and Lex's wedding tomorrow. And I expect for you to at least say hello to Sasha, since Chancellor Sheppard allowed me to bring her here."
"Alright. See you there." Bastion said. The three women walked out of the room.
"Hey, how about we have a sleepover at my dorm room?" Lydia asked.
"Why not? I haven't been to one since we were teens." Koboshi giggled.
"Don't say that. You make us sound 40, not 20." Rose said. "Can I bring Sasha?"
"Sure. I'll meet you guys at my place in 15 minutes." Lydia said and they all went their separate ways.
Well, here's the first chapter of "The Harpie With the Clipped Wings". Sorry if the title seems really crappy. Please R&R!!
