Hello there all High Tension readers, sorry i took so long to post up chapter 2. Have you ever been in a situation when your studying while writing and then you forget that your laptop needs to charge. And just as you say," Yippee I'm done" a thing pops up on your screen and says 'out of power find a next battery source' and then, you know, computer goes bye bye.
And you go "what the **"
And computer goes "..."
And you go " NOOOOO"
And computer goes " ( windows closing down sound)
PS. all files that were opened weren't saved
Well yea, that happened to me...two times. Wahhhhhhhhhh, ( still having after effects of other lost data that were open at the moment)
The first chapter was kinda like an introduction and as you can see book 1, its mainly about how they reached in that situation, trust me book one is short almost like 6 chaps, so read and don't mind the spelling, seriously..don't ^^'
High Tension
Book One
The Devil's Salutations
The rain beat heavily on the roof of the aviary and Cylest pulled out her umbrella as she stood at the door way. She cocked out the edges of her umbrella and gripped on tighter to the cage of her new bird. She took one last glance on it, a tiny cute golden-yellow female fluffy bird, with small cute black eyes and a broad orange adorable beak; she was round the size and comparison of a lawn tennis ball, just simply gullible. Cylest dashed out onto the road and walking with all her strength came up to a limousine that she sneakily entered after dashing a couple gazes left and right, towards her and where she was coming from, then she went in slam the door and the vehicle.
"I can't always bring you out young master"
"Please, Velor you know how much I like birds, plus, how many times have i told you not to call me that"
Velor turned around and smiled at Cylest.
"Fine, I'll make sure to enter from the back gate...Cylest"
"Yea"
She turned to her little new bird who chirped every now and then flapping her wings.
Cylest tip toed with the cage in her hand through the hall. The maids had helped her this far and now it was her duty to make it pass her Dad's office, pass the green's room, study room and to the east wing of the mansion that belonged to her.
"Cylest Tzkumi Yuri Victorian"
Cylest turned around at the sound of her entire name.
"You didn't have to call it all out dad" She said irritated.
"Then let me complete it... 'The forty-seventh'"
"Ughhh" She hated the name, She felt like it was coded on her forehead, at the very thought she rubbed her forehead making sure there was no engravement or tattooed name.
How shameful.
"What are you doing?"
"Just remembering how much I'm the property of you" She said with a pout.
"Come on now darling" he launched off her with open arms to embrace her, "You know how much papa loves you" instead; the cage was smashed into his face.
"Hmph. you're so cold" He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.
"So you've brought another pet" he gestured to the bird that looked up at him.
"Yes as it turns out, I couldn't leave him behind"
"I see, 3 years ago you were-"
"I'm going now" she said cutting him off
"But we just started talking"
"I know where this is leading" she continued walking away
"But Tzkumi"
"Don't call me that, and it's the same thing everyday"
She stomped away leaving him behind.
After putting down the cage by her bed she went out on her porch and looked through her telescope.
Surprisingly, the bird opened the cage on his own and flew and sat on top of her shoulder. He began chirping as he too started enjoying the view.
Cylest had a wide view of her entire backyard which was the entire town of Namimori. She looked through her telescope at a group of thugs who were smuggling money from an old lady. Although the elder struggled to keep her purse to herself, the group of boys insisted on taking money from her.
Cylest sighed.
They wore the Namimori middle school uniform, so hence forth she knew what was going to happen next.
"In 5, 4, 3, 2…1"
Just as she said one, a boy was hit from behind, then the other thrown into the wall, also accompanied by a hit in the stomach that caused him to cough up blood.
She rested her jaw on her hand as she sat back watching the fight.
She had been in Namimori for two weeks now with her mother and father. Cylest was practically obvious royalty. She was the 47th crown of the Great Victorian family that she really didn't care about. Money and power was at her usage but she gave most of interest to animals and her 'wild pleasures'. She surpassed her father by skill and intelligence, she overthrew her mother when it came to true beauty, but only on the quality, she did not possess. According to her mother, Elodea, true lady- like manners did not include personal pleasure from torturing and looking down on others.
Cylest couldn't care less of whatever her mother had to say. Her room door opened.
Speaking of the devil.
"Darling, I have something important to discuss with you"
Her mother came in and sat on one of the few chairs that were in Cylest's room. She wore a light brown dress with her usual gold earrings and necklaces, her normal every day wear.
How disgusting.
Cylest already knew where this conversation was heading, it had been going on for three days, and she thought just maybe today, she should give in.
"Although I realize that we have been nagging about it for very long now, I think it you should really attend the school"
Meanwhile on the outside back to the fight. Hibari flashed his tonfa, getting rid of most of the blood that was on it. Hopefully someone would find the herbivores and call the ambulance.
He started down the sidewalk when he heard a car driving slowly behind him, no, not a car, but cars. They car pulled up next to him and the window whined down.
"Are you Hibari Kyoya"
"Tsk" he looked away, more troublesome people
"This is something very important, you must remember us, we offered the deal."
Cylest waited for the pause and then turned around to her mother.
"Fine, I will go"
Her mother jumped to her feet and immediately ran and hugged her.
"I'm so glad; you'll finally get to live a life like a normal girl! Instead of being prisoned in this castle" She looked around in the large room when she said the last sentence.
Although her parents were annoying and 'hated by their own daughter', Cylest always knew that sometimes she and her mom had a few things in common, she did want to get out of the huge mansion, and she wanted to go to school. Not for the friends or learning part, but only because she wanted to see what the outside world was like.
After her mom bragged about how she 'had a feeling' that today she would say yes and already purchase her Namimori middle school uniform, she left Cylest in the room along with Cylest's high maid servant, Amay.
"Amay"
"Yes young master"
"Again with the formalities"
"My apologies, Cylest"
"Will you accompany me to school every day?"
"No, you- my apologies, Cylest"
Cylest sighed and sunk down in the chair.
The first time father spoke of this he said she would have a body guard who would follow her to and fro from school. But who in their right mind wouldn't take the offer, plus, father needed someone with great skill. Cylest thought about everything. Finally she figured it out, for full protection the person would have to be with her throughout the entire day, and so that this wouldn't be suspicious, this person had to blend in with the crowd, plus, hiring a new body guard and sending him with her was just too suspicious, a new girl entering the school with a well-built average man who is supposed to be a student. Naaa. So therefore, it had to be a person people were familiar with at the school, plus, it had to be someone who was protective and doesn't draw trouble to themselves.
"Well Amay, can you please take my new pet to our own aviary"
"Yes Cylest"
"Oh yes, and please ensure that tomorrow i have a portfolio for the person who will be my personal bodyguard"
"As you which, Cylest"
Cylest opened her eyes to be greeted by her daily morning routine. A maid would wake her up, and then bring her belongings to the already prepared hot bath, accompanied by Amay who would wash her back, then Amay who would help brush her hair, after which is followed by helping her to dress.
Instead of her usual gown, she was dressed in a dark grey short skirt, a yellowish vest that was over a white shirt with a blue bow around her neck. She wore navy blue socks and a shiny black choose that had a 3 inch high heel that clattered when she went down the glass staircase. She held in her hand, Her briefcase with her things and and her new bodyguard's portfolio she planned to read in the car.
"Wow, look at my beautiful daughter!" Her father said around the table while eating.
"Wow look at the time" she replied dashing a glance at her watch and then at the food around the table took it up and headed to the door.
"She just ignored me didn't she?"
"Get used to it darling" Elodea replied.
The car pulled up at Namimori high and Cylest stepped out. Everyone was looking at her as she walked through the parted crowd. They were wearing the same uniform, they were all almost roughly at the same age, but, they all didn't pull up at the school in a huge limousine that was centered between two others escorted by a group of policeman.
Father couldn't make it less obvious.
She sighed.
"We would like to welcome a very new student to our classroom today"
Cylest stepped in.
"Madam Cylest Tzkumi Yuri Victorian"
They all looked at her.
"Why don't you tell us something about yourself your highness?"
"Huh"
Her eyebrow twitched. She's using that term too.
"Well…firstly, please do not approach me as your highness (she dashed a glance at the teacher who shrieked), young master, Madam, royalty or any other given terms, you can call me Cylest, I am easily disgusted by those terms and also people who are weak and are easlily trampled. Do not crowd around me, I'm not claustrophobic, its just a mere case of hating people, i rather do things on my own because I do not need help from people who are not capable of handling a situation."
The class was silent including the teacher.
"Well, since you do not intend on showing me where I can sit, I guess I'll just choose on my own."
The teacher felt ashamed, she had been so interrupted by the fact of what Cylest said that she had forgotten about showing her a seat.
How awful, I think I already made a bad impression; well it's their fault for using that term.
The entire math's class was easy, it turned out that Cylest came at the school when they were taking exams, of course she didn't intend to sit and do anything while the others did their exams, but after taking the test paper and completing it in five minutes (although the teacher strongly refused but offered after her threat) She grew bored for the next 45 minutes and asked to be excused carrying her bag with her as she leaved the classroom.
They school seemed fine so far, apart from the glances and the stares. It seemed perfectly fine. She twirled in the hallway and twirled and twirled until she felt dizzy and stopped. She walked straight ahead until she bucked up on a room door.
She turned the knob and went inside to sit down. The entire room looked really elegant almost like an office. She was sitting on the couch looking around when she realized that in front of her was a chess board.
"Ah" She smiled. She began reaching for the empty box.
Just then the door opened and closed and Cylest looked up.
She saw standing at the door a boy with short black hair with an m shaped bang. He had sharp grey eyes and wore the a long-sleeved, white shirt, black trousers, brown belt, black shoes, and black gakuran top worn on his shoulders, with a committee's armband pinned onto the left sleeve.
This must be the discipline committee.
Wait-
"Tonfa-dude"
Hibari's eyebrow twitched.
Did she just call me-?
"Herbivore"
Don't be mistaken, Cylest was the one who said those words.
"What did you just say?"
"Isn't that the common name you give to everyone around you?"
He stared at the girl sitting on the couch
"How does it feel, to be called that very name?"
Now, she's beginning to irritate me.
"Herbivores like you, should be bitten to death"
"Don't be fooled, I don't know where your mouth's been, so people like you, should try going to hell"
She crossed her leg and relaxed in the chair. She looked at him again and that's when she recognized his tonfa. She got up and walked to him.
"This is when you hit me"
Hibari smirked, she was making this even better, she was enjoying it, so why shouldn't I, he thought, she drew his interest, such an odd girl.
He aimed right for her head but to his surprise she caught the tonfa, in her hand that was breath space from her face. He went wide eyed; she was more interesting than a he thought. She was a good fighter, she was almost on his level, and she was good at fighting
"You're moving a little slow"
Hibari looked up at Cylest
"What happened to your spikes?"
No, Hibari thought, not only was she fighting him, she was anticipating his moves.
Hibari maneuvered his next hand to her stomach and this time he managed to barely graze her skin, splitting into the uniform.
Cylest laughed out and sat back down.
She's taking this as a joke.
She pulled from her bag a file and handed it to Hibari.
"My father must have spoken to you already, but I'm here to give you a choice, knowing him, it must have been a threat."
She knows, she knows about the deal.
Yesterday on Hibari's way home, a car pulled up beside him and a man stepped out and kindly asked him to come or else matters might have gotten out of hand hurting not only him but his beloved-
"I don't know what threat he placed upon you, but I can cancel it"
"And who do you think you are herbivore"
"I am Cylest Tzkumi Yuri Victorian, the fourth-seventh"
Yuk I actually said it
Hibari looked her from head to toe.
Dark brown straight hair, glassy silver eyes ( which was obviously the first thing you'd pick up), pale skin and pink lips. Her uniform suited her well and she did look like royalty,exactly like the picture he was shown, yes it was her, there was no doubting it.
She gestured to the empty couch facing her with the small table between.
"A game of chess and you'll be free"
I have no time to play games. He turned to walk away
"I am his daughter and I have the power to choose another, whatever he holds against you will be given back to you too, only a game of chess"
He stooped midair; he paused and turned around to her.
"And if I lose herbivore"
"The threat remains and you do as I say, keep in mind, you will become my personnel bodyguard"
He walked over to the empty couch and sat.
"Also, you will get to be punished" he said adding to the bet
"Punished you say...fine, add it to the bet, so rest assured for the game, it is my first time"
They had started playing after Cylest fixed the game and chose the black set.
A long silence pulled between them as they played for what seemed like almost half an hour, both moving wisely and trying to be as skillful and interrupted.
"You seem very good at this game"
Hibari stared back at her
"You also don't seem to talk much"
He moved one of his rooks
"Though, you seem like you'll be an interesting player in my games"
"You haven't won yet"
"My, I guess your right"
She took one of his knights
He gritted his teeth and looked up at her.
"It's a mere game for me, but for you it seems quite important, a life and death situation I ask?" She said teasingly
"Hmph, I can't help, but look forward to after I win this game" Hibari answered her.
"You make foolish bets and decisions" He continued, taking down her queen that was left wide open, she was left with only 5 players while he had 9.
She giggled.
"Like I said, you are a good player, but don't be fooled"
Hibari looked up at Cylest
"As the daughter of the great Victorian family, it is at utmost importance that I am taught the etiquettes of my era, chess, is just a mere boards man game"
"So you lied"
"How smartly figured out, also, my decisions aren't foolish"
He looked at the board, whichever way she took it, she was going to lose, he just took her queen and she only had one move left.
"Cylest, translated, worthy sacrifice, It's in the way I act and the way I play, It gives me a lot of privileges, even against people, to move at my usage, even at the chance to say.."
She moved her king.
"…checkmate"
Hibari's eyes widened.
She won.
