Nah, that's way to pretentious
'Either way, I am what I am now, and that, is a zombie. ...And occasionally a magical girl.'
Hmm a little to on the nose there, besides I think I'd rather keep that part of my life more of a secret, too many people know about it as it is.
"Whatcha got there?!" Screamed Haruna grabbing Ayumu's notebook from him.
"Hey give that back!"
"Some kind of Diary, how lame" Haruna breezed through the pages
"Truly disgusting, only little girls write in those, have you sunk that low you filthy maggot" Sera spat
~Pathetic~ quoted Eu's notepad
"It's a college ruled notebook used for my creative writing class"
"So this is for that collage you're working on" Haruna asked, handing him back his book, and then lazily throwing herself back into her seat
"College, not collage, it's a school, you know like what you went to"
"So you're learning how to be a magic girl?" Haruna asked
"Are you so perverted that you dare to cross the borders of gender itself?" threw Sera
~Gross~ quoted Eu
"It's just a freakin' community college writing class, I.. I don't even... forget this, I'm going for a walk" Ayumu stormed out, grabbing his coat and heading to his favorite graveyard on a late night stroll, when he stopped at the door. On the other side however was Tomonori
"Hey Tomonori" The correction of 'Yuki' went unnoticed "Did you just get here?"
"Just like... a few minutes ago" Tomonori said looking away with a blush. She was too shy to admit she was too nervous to knock on the door. "I... I wanted to talk to you about something"
"Sure, wanna go for a walk? I need to get away from these three, you know how they can be" he said with a soft smile.
And with a clunk, the vending machine shining in the darkness vended him a second can of coffee. Ayumu returned to the misty graves to hand Tomonori her drink. She hadn't changed much over the years, keeping her hair short, with a section up with a shuriken bow. Wearing shorts and just having a tomboy feel about her, though on this late night, as her ample chest pushed at her black tank top, she kept herself warm in an open pink hoodie.
"So how s the whole Ninja life going? Sera never really talks about it, just that Eu hasn't joined her cause, plus I haven t really seen you since high school"
"Well that's just the thing, I need to talk to you about our relationship" she said, pressing her fingers together nervously.
"What that we're friends, or that you still think I'm your husband after all these years?"
"That's the thing, in the eyes of my village we're married, and well, after so many years of marriage, there are certain duties that must come with that"
"What, do they want us to have a freaking wedding or something?" Ayumu said with a hint of worry, drinking his coffee
"No, most ninja's live in the shadows and don't need big ceremonies. What they want from us is something... else" She said unable to look him in the eyes.
"Like... what? You want me to get you another ring?"
"They want... they w-want us to, well..." Tomonori began, getting red in the face
"Just say it Tomonori" Ayumu said, getting a little frustrated with her
"They want us to have a baby ok?!" She screamed. After which came a silence that to either of them felt like an eternity. Ayumu in thought, as Yuki waited his response.
"And, uh, how do you, uh, feel about this?" Ayumu asked
"If it means giving up my virginity, I'd want it to be with, you know, my husband. It's for the good and growth of the village."
"But I'm not your husband"
"But to me you are!" She cried, holding onto his arm "So please, will you do this for me?" she said with tears in her eyes, looking at him
"I'll...I need to think about it, ok, it's not something I can just do, you know" Ayumu said looking away
"I dunno know how much time I can give ya, but please come to me with an answer as soon as ya can, OK dude?" She said, wiping her few tears away. Her boyish way of speaking breaking the tension.
"Yeah, sure thing Tomonori" Ayumu said looking down at her and rubbing the back of her head softly.
"C'mon... "she corrected him, moving her arms from around his, to around his neck "It's Yuki" as for the second time in their relationship, this time under the cool moonlight of the graveyard, they shared a kiss.
And so as morning came, Ayumu returned home. Sleep being more of a luxury and less of a physical necessity; he went to the kitchen to get to work on breakfast, yet another luxury of his former life.
~you were out all night~ quoted Eu.
*Ayumu vision*
"I stayed up all night waiting for you, but you never showed" Eu's ideal voice wined, as she sat in her pajamas, rubbing her eyes sleepily.
*End of Ayumu vision*
"Yeah... I was out talking to Tomonori, and lost track of time"
"And what did Maelstrom want with a maggot such as you?" Sera asked as she sat down at the table for breakfast.
"I think that what two people talk about should stay between them and-"
"You've got a secret, you've got a secret!" Haruna sang as she spun around Ayumu by the neck, in just her large shirt twirling in the air exposing her panties.
~Do you?~ asked Eu
*Ayumu vision*
"I promise I can keep a secret super well" said Eu in her ideal voice, looking up at him with her finger on her chin *end of Ayumu vision*
"It's not that I don't trust you with it, it s just private" Ayumu reasoned
"It has to do with your privates? Gross. What does Tomonori want with those?"
"Private, not privates! And even if she does, it's none of your..." But the damage had been done. Haruna hit the floor in shock, Eu almost dropped her tea cup and Sera sat mouth agape
"Was forcing yourself on her in the alley not enough you piece of trash!" Sera screamed storming over to him "That you would make yet another attempt on that poor girl?"
"What? No it's not like that!" Ayumu tried to assure her, but no one was listening.
"How could you go for some vampire ninja when you had a genius like me at home! Or is living with three women not enough for you!" Haruna yelled
"I'm not going for anyone you dingbat! Tomonori just wanted to talk about something"
Eu calmly got up from her spot and showed her note to the group "Allow him to explain himself, I do not think he did anything wrong"
*Ayumu vision*
"I know my Nii-san is a good person who would never do anything that naughty"
*End of Ayumu vision*
"Oh Eu, you're the only one I can count on in these situations" Ayumu cried, and then began to explain the news of the previous night
"Yes, well, according to the vampire ninja code, after so many years of marriage, a child is required" Sera thought aloud "She is just doing what she believes is right, even if her lover is to be a piece of garbage like you"
"Gee thanks for all your support" Ayumu retorted
~So what are you going to do?~ asked Eu
"I'm not sure yet, it was one thing when we were in high school, and she kept making me lunches. But a baby? I don't know, the idea of start a family is pretty foreign"
"Well you should make your decision soon, or else Maelstrom will run into trouble with the vampire ninjas"
"Maybe you can use this in that lame story, you're writing" Haruna laughed. Though to Ayumu, it did not seem like such a bad idea, he had heard in the class to "write what you know" and "that authors put little bits of themselves in their work. Breakfast came and left, as Ayumu backed his bag and headed to the bus stop with the least amount of sunlight.
"If you will excuse me, there is someone I must talk to" Sera said, as she picked up the house phone "Sarasvati, there had been a development"
-
Ayumu made his was to class, getting in the darkest corner of the room away from any windows, when his longtime friends Orito and Anderson sat near him
"Feels just like high school hu guys?" Orito laughed
"So how s your story coming along?" Anderson asked
"Great, I'm writing a story about a guy who has like 20 women all throwing themselves at him and he tries to successfully juggle them all with great results, it's based roughly on my life" Orito said, pushing up his glasses "What about you Ayumu"
"Oh, it was going to be a story about a zombie, but now I'm thinking of introducing a romance element"
"Certainly sounds like it has potential, my story-" But Anderson was cut off as the teacher walked into class, though she was only a substitute as she wrote her name on the board. "I am Ariel Dai, and I will be teaching this creative writing class for a while now" Dai-sensei declared.
"Hey Ayumu, doesn't she look familiar?" Orito asked, making Ayumu sweat beads
"I dunno man, you know how substitutes are, they work anywhere"
"And we also have a few new students; Haruna, Sera, Saras and Yuki" As all four girls entered the room and bowed to the class.
'What the hell are they doing here? And besides the class is full-" As Ayumu turned his head to discover four empty seats around him, the people who used to sit mysteriously gone. Ayumu looked around hoping someone else would notice this anomaly, but it went to empty ears.
"Now as you know this is a creative writing class, so you'll have to be brave enough for public speaking"
"I have something I would like to read aloud!" Saras shouted
"Oh? Wonderful, what is the name of this story/poem"
"Two perfect orbs!"
