So I know it kind of seems like it, but Goemon and Calanthe are NOT together lol. It just seems like it a little 'cause they're really good friends but yeah Lupin and Jigen are in this chapter (although one was in the last chapter too, huh lol?) SO ANYWAYS it'll get to all the good love triangle stuff.
Also, I thought I should say that Calanthe is NOT an OC. I just thought Goemon should have a friend, okay? Okay.
Until I was halfway through this chapter and took a look at the first, I had somehow forgotten her nickname. I really am the perfect author for this story xD
"How long have you been up?"
"A while."
Calanthe grabbed the alarm and shook it, taking another look at the time. Why hadn't the stupid thing gone off? Setting it back down, she sighed. Goemon had no doubt woken up in the early hours in the morning as he was accustomed to. However, she had wanted to get up early too to get some normal clothes. It looked like they would just have to stand out for a little while. Otherwise, they would be late for their first day. She fished two slices of bread from her backpack and threw them at Goemon. "See you in a few." She took her backpack into the bathroom with her. She seriously doubted the clothes she had could be taken as a fashion statement. Luckily, she did have one skirt she'd always kept hidden successfully. It would have been destroyed otherwise, as it only reached her knees. She supposed her sweater would do. Better to be wearing weird clothes than traditional ones.
Satisfied enough, she stripped down to her birthday suit and stepped into the shower, sighing as the hot water hit her nude skin. She turned, letting the heat stream down her back and over her shoulders, spilling down her grandiose, agile bosoms where it ran down her dilatory torso until it hit the ground, disappearing into the drain as if sinking into the ground. Her skin consumed the hot substance greedily, as if it had been in a drought for hundreds of years. Her pores gratified, she stepped out onto the cold, hard tile outside where she proceeded to put on her underwear and then her bra and then she put on her skirt which showed off her endless, feminine legs. She was so gonna kick someone in the nuts if they looked up it, though. Then she put on her sweater which kinda made her boobs looked bigger but she kind of liked it so it was okay. "Done," she shouted so Goemon would know she was done. She didn't really care a lot about appearance, so a shake of the hair was enough. She also didn't wear make-up because it was fake. She was no doll and if anyone thought she was, she would totally kick them in the nuts.
"You ready?" she asked, a smile on her face. She was actually anticipating their first day of school, even if not the other students so much.
He nodded, not sharing the anticipation. Part of him just wanted to go home and hope they would forgive him, but he was not going to turn back now. Maybe somewhere, those people would be proud of him doing what he wanted to do. Not that it would override the shame he'd caused...
"Take a look around. We'll be going here almost every day." Calanthe watched Goemon do just that, a smile on her face. Or at least until she got a glimpse from the corner of her eye at something nobody needed to see. "We can look more later," she said hurriedly, covering Goemon's eyes. It figured the first day, there'd be two hormonal freaks making out in front of the school. She got them through the doors and they were in the hall. All was going smoothly again.
"Hey."
Calanthe walked faster, pointedly ignoring the boy. Looked like the guy from before.
"What's your name?" Lupin asked with a sexy smirk, easily keeping up with her.
She stopped abruptly, throwing her fists onto her waist. "My name is Calanthe Aimi Charis-Kalliope, as if it's any of your business. Why don't you go and play tonsil hockey with your little girlfriend some more?"
"Girlfriend? That's harsh."
Calanthe Aimi Charis-Kalliope, patient as ever, made a closed-mouth screeching noise and walked off, pulling Goemon along with her.
"I like lesbians," Lupin shouted at them as they left. Receiving no answer as expected, he pulled an irritated face. He hadn't even gotten the other one's name. Shrugging, he wandered back outside where is 'girlfriend' was waiting, arms crossed. "What? Come on, I've never seen them before."
"There are three new male students," Fujiko pointed out.
"You know me. I've gotta look at every girl. Make sure they're not suspicious."
A carfully waxed eyebrow raised. "So you're telling me some scumbag vampire could get in right under your nose because it's a guy?"
"Well... not exactly." The signs would probably be obvious. Dropping the subject, he shoved his hands into the pockets of his cherry red jacket and went off to his class, Fujiko in tow.
"What is your sudden interest in those girls anyway? Don't tell me your in love," she teased with a snicker.
Lupin grinned, though she couldn't see that with his back turned towards her. "Maybe I just need a break from you once in a while."
Frowning, Fujiko kept silent for the remainder of their walk to class.
It was about ten minutes before class would start, but quite a few of the students were hanging out there. Fires flamed in Lupin's eyes as he caught a certain one. He tried to walk past without a deal made out of it, but the other wasn't having it.
"Hey, Lupin. Long time no see." The kid smirked, making sure Lupin knew he enjoyed the torture from their little meeting. In this smirk, he bared some awfully sharp teeth. His confidence was disgusting, Lupin thought. "You don't look happy to see me." At this, the kids around him chuckled, though if they knew why was a completely different subject.
Before he could respond, Lupin reacted to a violent coughing from his lady friend. He removed her from the room, glaring at Jigen until they were out of sight. Fujiko took lead then, pulling him until they reached an empty part of school where she threw him into the corner. "Who was that and how do you know him?"
Lupin thought his answers over carefully. "It's a long story." It was a story he didn't want to share, too.
"Talk," she demanded, pinning him to the wall, piercing eyes drawing closer to his.
Lupin was much stronger than she was, however, and threw her off, a smug look returning to his face. "Remember this next time you try to force anything out of me. Now about that vampire kid, let's just say he's an old friend."
"You're friends with a vampire?"
"Alright," Lupin said, flipping around to begin his journey back to the room of learning. "We'll just say he's an old enemy."
