Sorry for the long wait. i must thank everyone for being patient and especially to those who gave me career ideas.

Anyway, a different take on KuroFai. It may eem strange butI wanted to use a different style and write from someone else's POV.


Occupation two: Teacher

The hallways were darkening as the sun dipped below the horizon. Windows were open doors to the last traces of golden light, spilling unto an otherwise shadowy floor. The rooms were all empty now; tables and chairs left in neat rows for the next day, and the corridors lay deserted.

The whispering of a broom across the ground was the only indication of life. The girl swept the dry bristles across the floor, gathering dust and dirt from within the cupboard out into the open corridor, to the waiting mouth of her dustpan.

Sighing wearily, she stopped to lean against the wooden handle. Five down, one more to go. Just one more cupboard and her work would be done.

Through the silence, echoing footsteps approached her, heels clicking against the hard floor. The girl straightened and turned.

"Hey, Esther, it's almost dark."

"Just a minute, Momo, I can't leave until all the supply cupboards are clean."

The girl opened her dustpan and ushered in another clump of dust, sighing at her miserable fortune whilst her friend merely watched the broom making circles in the dirt.

"Detention again?" Momo watched the broom fixedly. "Which one was it?"

Esther propped her broom against the wall and ventured further into the cupboard. Paper and pencils were scattered across the floor and the shelves were lopsided and disarrayed.

"Does it matter?" she sighed. "Both of them live just to torture me."

Momo leant besides the broom, making no effort to help. "Fai-sensei's cute and he has a nice smile but I suppose he can be a devil in disguise, and as for Kurogane-sensei…I suppose, being ruggedly handsome, he must have a mean streak," she pondered before bursting into a fit of glee. "Kyaa! Esther-
chan! You're so lucky that two hot teachers give you so much attention!"

"They're killing me! Look at this!" Ether shoved her white school journal into her friend's starry-eyed face.

"Sometimes, I think that they go out of their way just to punish me," Esther sighed as she slammed shut the last cupboard on the upper floor. Sometimes, she wondered why such a small school needed such large cupboards. Each room left her with a thin sheen of sweat across her forehead.

Momo, deciding to tag along, carried her buckets and brooms down the dim corridors. "Hey, didn't you clean these cupboards last week?"

"I did but they always end up in a mess again. It really is a mystery," Esther sighed. She would not have been surprised to discover a phantom messing up each cupboard after she was done, just to give her more work.

"The school is creepy when it's so empty," Momo muttered.

Esther rolled her eyes. Just one more cupboard, just one more and that would be it. Just one more cupboard and then that would be the end.

"Last one," she breathed pure relief. Setting down her cleaning tools, she eagerly slid the door open.

Images and thoughts bombarded her mind. It was impossible to say which came first as they flooded into her in one jumbled heap, but she could definitely say, without a doubt, that the most prominent of her thoughts was the following:

Oh…my…God

What did she see first? Perhaps it was the papers strewn across the floor or the boxes lying in tumbled heaps. Perhaps it was the spare panes of glass, misted over by heat, or the tilting racks. Perhaps it was the two teachers lying in the midst of it all, one on top of the other, with hair in disarray and clothing half-open.

Yes, it was most definitely the teachers.

Fai-sensei's zipped was partially undone, his hands above his head, bound by a stripped tie. Kurogane-sensei's stripped tie to be exact.

It all clicked now - the reason why the cupboards were always messy, why someone was always charged with cleaning them up afterwards - it all clicked! They were the ones making the mess, caught in their little...love tangles!

Esther stared at her teachers and they returned the favour. Frozen in the midst of their 'activities,' Kurogane-sensei's hand was hovering just above a place Esther no longer wanted to look.

In what must have been a delayed reaction, she grabbed the door handle and shut it on her teachers, pressing her back to the door and breathing heavily.

Had her eyes played tricks on her? Had she really seen that or had it all been a figment of her over-worked mind?

Glancing at Momo, her face had completely glazed over. Even waving her hand in front of her face, Esther could not bring her friend back to reality.

In that case, perhaps she better check again.

Throwing the door open, she was only half-prepared for what lay before her - both teachers, as they had been before, frozen and staring wide-eyed at her second intrusion.

Esther slammed the door shut again.

She could not count the seconds or minutes that passed. It was real, it was all definitely, without a doubt, real! Her heart was pounding above the sound of the door sliding open behind her. She played the few glimpses of what she had seen over and over, like a stuck tape, over and over.

Teachers. Hotness. Dishevelled clothing. Hotness. Hair in disarray. Panting. Hotness. Possible, implied, adult situations. Lots and lots of panting!

"Malinuv-san," Fai-sensei's light voice ripped her from her trance.

"Y - Yes!" Esther barked

"Detention."

"W - What?" she stuttered.

"For interrupting us in the middle of an important meeting, that's why." Kurogane-sensei joined them, adjusting his tie as if it had not just been used to bind Fai-sensei's wrists.

Life was so tragically cruel.


That was my first time using an OC as a plot device. It was hard. Hehe, I did my best to cut down on the cheesecake if you know whatI mean.
