animelover1350: TYVM! I kept on wanting to write a more light and refreshing FF in the 07 Ghost universe with Mikage... I seriously liked his character. Regarding updates though, I'll be trying for once or twice every two weeks as I'm writing a different fanfic atm, and chapter length will vary on my creativity for the week =S.

Kags21: Pairings are undetermined. Definitely. Who knows? Everyone knows that Ayanami and Mikage are the best...Hakuren's third though x3

Anyways, here's chapter two, I hope you review as I really want your feedback! Regards to chapter one, i noticed that i had given Teito two science courses -.- that's been changed.

Mikage offered his hand towards the dumbfounded Teito. The boy observed the welcoming hand with his large emerald eyes, then shrugged and looked away.

"Mikage!" A voice cried from behind them. "You probably shouldn't associate with him. He's just garbage that managed to get in because he knew someone!"

Teito sighed and ignored the meaningless insult. Mikage turned his behind him. "You can't say that Shuri. After all we all know that you got in to this school because you're from the Oak family. Idiot Shuri." Mikage smiled and took out a stack of books. "Lloyd-sensei!" He sent a small Zaiphon that sent several books flying in Shuri's direction. "Shuri Oak brought porn to school!"

The teacher looked up from in front of the classroom. "Shuri-kun, please. Don't go reading that in class in front of all the girls."

Everyone in the classroom looked at the shocked boy. "Hey! This isn't mine!" He was flushed with embarrassment. "It's not!"

"That's nice, Shuri-kun. Anyways, everyone listen up!" The teacher was getting everyone's attention. "The student address is going to be going on today in the library for the high school students by..."

Teito quickly lost interest in what the teacher was saying and turned his attention to Mikage. He looked curiously at the stranger sitting next to him. "Why'd you do that? You wouldn't have benefitted in any way by doing that do Shuri Oak."

"So you do talk!" Mikage smiled, as Teito blushed to his response. "Don't worry about it." I did that because I wanted to, not because I felt pressured into doing that."

Teito was spellbound for a moment. No one outside of the church had ever shown him this kindness before... He held out his small uneasy hand. "Can we... try this again?"

Mikage took his hand and shook it. "Of course! My name is Mikage Celestine, I hope that we'll get along this year."

Teito grinned. "My name is Teito Klein, and I hope that we'll be friends!" He looked back at Llyod. He was still talking about the student address. He whispered. "Who gives the presentation, Mikage?"

Mikage spoke in a hushed voice. "It's the same every year. The teachers, the headmaster... and the student council give the student address to all the students about their goals for this year, how they intend to improve the school, moral behaviour..."

Teito was fascinated. Doing something nice for the sake of others, wasn't something he was accustomed to. "So everybody in student council is all nice?"

The boy smiled sympathetically. "Usually. This year however, the student council president's known to be a real strict silver-tongued devil. Apparently, he was chosen by the headmaster to keep an eye on things this year..."

"Chosen? I was under the impression that student representatives were chosen by the students." Teito was surprised. He was informed about most of the school's student-related activities by Castor... "

"They are... except last year it was announced that all student council members would be chosen by the president. They have done an amazing job so far, but positions like class-representatives or positions that aren't as important are elected by student classes. Shuri Oak for example, is the class representative simply because he's from the Oak family... and because he's liked by the class, and since no one else wants the position!" He moved closer and whispered into Teito's ear. "Rumour has it that the headmaster had the student president chosen to keep an eye on the school princess."

Teito was intrigued by the notion of the school having a princess, but he couldn't help but laugh at the remark about Shuri. Imagining an idiot being responsible seemed impossible. "I see that's surprising. Is he even capable?" But he wanted to hear more about the subject. "Our school has... a princess?"

"About the princess... she's apparently the emperor's daughter. She's also related to the headmaster. She's supposed to be really nice, but it's rumoured to have a split personality. Lots of guys are really aiming for her because of her families' status." Mikage saw Teito's face darken when he mentioned 'family.'

"I see... she must be lucky." The boy's eyes were downcast, his expression dejected.

So! Anyways! Shuri Oak!" Mikage felt that he needed to get off the subject of anything remotely related to good things about families... "Shuri got his position because his father wanted him to get in to a more... favourable position with the headmaster. He didn't get a choice, but he works hard because it's what his father wants."

Teito's expression brightened ever so slightly. "Is that so?"

"Yeah. Apparently the majority of student representatives are only there because they were told to by their parents. The majority of student council however, is made up of third years. They've all been chosen by the president. The only exception is the vice-president's position."

"Why?" This piqued his interest. He expected the president to be surrounded by his elite, not by those begging to be noticed. Teito was curious. He had never expected there to be an empty gap in the president's most important right-hand position.

"For some reason he hasn't chosen a vice-president. This year, nearly all the positions are filled by those with connection to the headmaster or the president in some way, and not from a wealthy family... " Mikage stopped talking. He forgot for a moment that mentioning"family" was taboo around Teito, as he became saddened. "Are you all right?" He moved closer and placed his hand on the boy's tense back.

"I'm... all right... it's just that..." He sighed. "I've just always been alone until last year when I was taken in by the church... I have no family..." He bit his lip. Why was he telling Mikage this anyways? "I think I was an unwanted child..."

MIkage took a moment to take it all in, and then he slapped Teito in the back. "What was that for?!" He immediately covered his mouth as all eyes were on him. "Sorry." Having apologized, everyone turned their attention back to Lloyd. He was going on about how the president was supposedly selecting a student for the vice-president position this year, but it was the actual identity of the person was unknown and when it would be determined was unknown...

"Sorry about that... but..." Mikage took a deep breath in and looked directly into Teito's emerald eyes. "Teito, I'm glad to have met you. So, don't say you're unwanted."

"Thank you... Mikage." Teito felt a wave of relief come over him. He smiled and the two new friends turned to finish listening to Lloyd wrap up the period.

"So. After this period, you will be expected to attend you're next class. The student address will occur during fourth and take up part of your lunch period. You'll all be expected to go to your fifth period class after."

The class got up and bowed. The room began emptying out as the students began to proceed to their next class. Teito took out his schedule and compared it to Mikage's. Mikage grinned. "Looks like we both have math next period! Come on, I'll show you where the room we have to head to is."

Well thats chapter two. Please review. :)
