Gundam walked off the bus, following after the young sixth graders. He slowly stepped off the bus, avoiding contact with any of them. Everyone behind him stood at least a few feet away from him; out of intimidation, and of Gundam's request. He walked towards the school, making absolutely no contact with anyone who stared at him. Indeed, his clothing was quite suspicious and extravagant for a high schooler: Black and white hair, a large purple scarf that nearly touched the ground, a long black trench coat, black pants, black boots, a white shirt with an unidentified purple cross on it, two silver rings on his right hand on both his ring finger and his middle finger, and from time to time, he would wear black nail polish. What feature that was feared by everyone was the large nasty grey scar over his left eye.
As he was walking inside, Kazuichi Souda walked up behind him. "Boo! Haha! Did I scare ya?" Gundam turned around on his heels, staring him down. "That was amusing enough to make the demons laugh at the pains of death." He continued to walk. "Is that uh… A good thing? Knowin' you and your strange way of usin' analogies, I'm not too sure, ya know?" Souda talked on, watching as Gundam wouldn't respond. Souda decided to continue.
"Look man, I would give you a brotherly pat on the back-"
"I refuse such contact from a human spirit such as yours."
"Yuh huh… But you always barge in and say 'Oh, people are too stupid to touch me, oh'!"
Clutching onto Souda's throat without turning around, Gundam corrected him, saying, "I do not say that you humans are stupid. I say that you are weak, and crumble under my unbelievable power. As for you, I see your blood already seized circulating to your head." Souda tried his best to free himself, grabbing onto Gundam's hand and attempting to pull him away. Gundam let go abruptly, and proceeded inside, glaring back at him in disgust. "Humans… When will they learn that I am an overlord compared to them? Ahaha!" He laughed, as students began to stare yet again. "Away with your nasty glares!" The students took his sentence as a command, and ran off in the same direction towards the classrooms.
The school nurse slowly walked up to him, bringing her arm up to his shoulder. "Gundam Tanaka, I see you have already made a mess of things." Gundam disregarded her, and continued grabbing things from his locker. Speaking up, he replied. "Is it ever going to be different? Causing havoc was what I was born to do. I was born to rule."
"See? You're going on again about the family you remember nothing about! I think you should look at the mother you do have, and forget about the past."
"That, I cannot do. For the past is essential to my future." She sighed, and turned him around to face her. "No, it's not. Just because…. Just because this is what life has made of you, doesn't mean you have to live off of all the bad that's happened to you! Think of all the wonderful gifts you have been given…"
"Gifts are for the lowly. Thrones are for the godly, such as I."
"That's not what I meant, Gundam. I'll tell your teacher you're going to be late. I'm calling your mother." Gundam stared at her unamused. He followed her to the nurse's office, and sat down in the chair next to her desk. She sat down in her office chair and picked up the phone, dialing Ms. Tanaka's number, having memorized it from the many times she had called before. She reclined back in her chair and spoke. "Hello? Yes, this is the school nurse, Akika Tsumiki. I am here to tell you about Gundam Tanaka, and how he's been behaving lately."
"Has he gotten himself into trouble?"
"No ma'am, he's just fine. He's acting like he should… But… I was wondering if you could pick him up?"
"Pick him up right now? O-Of course I can! I'll be there in ten minutes!" Arisu rushed and hung up the phone. "Your mother is coming shortly." Akika said to him, putting down the phone. "I heard." He replied darkly, reaching into his scarf and pulling out a small hamster. "Eh? What's that, Gundam?" Akika asked. "It is one of my Four Dark Gods of Destruction. Her name is 'Star-destroyer Grey Fox' Sun-D; A loyal one at heart, but festive when it comes to protecting her fellow comrades." "Hmm… Interesting; a unique name as well." Gundam held Sun-D in his hands, stroking down her back with his finger, watching her roll onto her stomach and chirp. Akika smiled, and brought her chair over to him, to where she was sitting perpendicular from him. "You do have friends, Gundam. Even if they aren't people…Even if they can't talk back…" Gundam blinked when she mentioned how animals can't talk back. "…Blasphemy…" He mumbled, watching as Sun-D perched up on Gundam's two fingers. Akika tilted her head to the side. "Excuse me?" "…Never mind. I have spoken too soon."
Arisu walked in uncalled for, and smiled at Gundam as he looked over at her. "Hello, honey." She said, bending down and kissing his cheek. Gundam watched her as she knelt down next to him, and looked back at Akika. Akika was silent for a while before she spoke. "Have a nice day." Was what she concluded with. Arisu looked at Gundam in confusion, and stood up. "Come on, Gundam." She said, attempting to seem stern. Gundam put Sun-D back in his scarf and patted her gently. "Behave, you four. Arisu is near." He whispered, and followed after his mother.
Akika waited until they left the room before she picked up the phone once more and dialed 911. "Hello, this is the local school nurse, Akika Tsumiki. I need you to take in Gundam Tanaka, living with Arisu Tanaka, his mother… I don't think he's kosher…" She said in a hushed tone, giving her thanks to the police officer on the line, and steadily putting the phone back down. She glared up at the door and twirled her chair to face the computer.
