Thank you everyone for being so patient and waiting for the next chapter in Jigoku High. I've had a bad case of writers block lately but I seem to be over it now, so without further a due, please enjoy the forth chapter of Jigoku High for Delinquents!
•°o.O `·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.· O.o°•
The room the door opened up to looked like a cafeteria of sorts, long tables were lined with chairs at their side and at the far end of the room there was what looked like a *bain marie filled with all sorts of food. About twenty other kids sat at these long tables eating breakfast and chatting quietly, however the chatter stopped as the new enrolments walked in. The cafeteria became dead silent.
The whole room looked ancient, great pillars held up the roof, each etched with delicate carvings. Yugi realised some of the carvings resembled the monsters from the duel monsters card game.
The entire place in general looked as if it was ancient, thousands of years old at least. Because of this the bain marie stood out and made the room look funny, caught half between a prehistoric and contemporary look.
Yugi looked at his friends who too had recognised the carvings. Maybe Yami had been right after all...Not that Yugi would give him the satisfaction of letting Yami know his doubt.
Too late buddy. There's nothing you can hide from me. Yami let Yugi knowquite smugly.
Naruto however looked around excitedly so Kakashi grabbed the collar of his orange jacket, just in case he took off. Sakura was still terribly frightened and just took in the scene while slightly shaking. Sasuke remained, as always, very, very, very, very, oh so very serious.
"Why so serious?" Joey whispered to Sasuke.
Sasuke didn't get to answer because at that moment a boy, who looked only a couple of years older than the others, approached them. The boy had dark brown hair and eyes that matched. In a neutral voice he spoke to the new enrolments.
"Welcome to Jigoku High, my name is Kai, student representative. I will show you to your dorms, please follow me."
Kai turned swiftly and started walking, pass the tables at which the other students sat, toward the other end of the room. The new enrolments began to follow the strange student. Kakashi went to follow as well however he was stoped as someone gripped his shirt sleeve. Kakashi turned around in surprise to find himself looking at a young girl with blonde curly hair and blue eyes. She spoke quietly with the same levelled voice as Kai had, "Hello Sir Kakashi, my name is Sae, second student representative. Your room is not in the dorms; please follow me to your room."
Sakura noticed Kakashi being led away by the girl and went to inform Sasuke.
"I know." Was all Sasuke said as he watched his Sensei walk toward a set of stairs to the left of the cafeteria room.
Joey looked at the students who sat at the cafeteria tables. They stayed completely silent, staring with what looked like sad faces at the new students. This wasn't what had put Joey in a bad mood so quickly though. As Joey had just pointed out to Yugi, Tristan, and Tea a second ago, the uniform the students of Jigoku High were wearing were rather...gothic. Joey looked and tried to imagine how the uniform would look on himself.
Well, he thought, the black jeans aren't that bad.
On the other hand, when Joey imagined himself wearing the high collared, black cotton shirt, he almost ran out the room screaming in horror.
Tea too found herself repulsed by the black knee length dress she would probably be forced to wear. And the large black bow that tied around the waist of the dress made it look no better.
And so we face a new terror, mumbled Yami, deciding which one's scarier, this whole school or the uniform we will have to wear...sorry Yugi, correction, the uniform you will have to wear.
"Rub it in why don't you?" Yugi mumbled inaudibly in response.
When I see you in that sorry excuse for a uniform, believe me, I will.
At that moment the group realised they had reached the other end of the long room and now faced a double door. Kai calmly pushed the door open and everyone was greeted with a gust of cold wind as they stepped outside. They looked out and found themselves at a Y-junction, one stone path led left while the other led right.
Kai turned to face the group, "this left path leads to the girl's dorm while the right one leads to the boy's dorm. All the boys please follow me to your dorm and I will show you around there. All the girls, you will have to walk to your dorm on your own, just follow the left path. Once you get there you will find the second student representative waiting."
With that Kai turned around and began following the right path.
Tea shot Yugi, Tristan and Joey a worried look before they smiled to reassure her and turned to follow Kai. Sakura too gave Naruto and Sasuke worried glances, although the only reassuring smile she got was one from Naruto. Sasuke only glanced at Sakura in a serious face.
Now only a group of about ten girls stood at the door staring down the left path that would lead to their dorm. They could even see the dorm from where they were and knew it wasn't that far, however as Sakura and Tea stood close together and began to walk down the path, they knew it would take a while to reach their destination. Their fear would take care of that.

Kakashi followed Sae up the stairs and into a dark corridor lined with blazing torches. Homey, Kakashi thought sarcastically looking at the cobwebs that lined the walls.
Sae didn't say a word; she only continued to walk through the corridor, passing doors that lined the walls on either side. Even her footsteps didn't seem to make a sound.
Finally, Kakashi broke the silence, "So...how's...life...?"
Sae stoped in her tracks and turned around, "please Sir, when you try to start a conversation, try to be a bit more creative."
Kakashi was quite taken aback as Sae turned and began walking again.
Kakashi pondered for a second, "aliens are invading, what are you gonna do about it?"
Sae didn't stop walking this time and didn't turn around, "fail," she mumbled under her breath.
After a while of walking, in silence I might add, Sae finally came to a stop in front of a door, "Sir, this is your room."
Kakashi looked at the room number and sweat dropped, "Err...room number 666. Nice..."
Sae looked up at Kakashi, "do not worry about getting lost, I have been instructed to come and fetch you to take you back down at the appropriate times."
Kakashi knew he wouldn't get lost, he had memorised the way to this room perfectly on the way here. "Of course, thank you."
As Sae went to walk away she suddenly stoped, "One more thing, I was told you would become one of the new teachers here at the Headmaster's request. Is that correct?"
Kakashi contemplated, "yes, that's right, although it depends really on what I can teach."
"Okay then, just make sure you don't introduce yourself to the class stupidly." Sae said as she turned and ran off through the corridor.
Kakashi couldn't be sure after seeing that girl, Sae, keep a serious face and monotone voice on for all that time, but he could have sworn when she spoke that last sentence, she said it in a smile.
•°o.O `·.¸¸.·´´¯`··._.· O.o°•
And so we are introduced to two new characters, student representatives, Kai and Sae! Both of these characters I created myself and they're going to become more important as the chapters go on. And now that I'm out of my writers block, the chapters will go on!
Notes:
*A bain marie is basically an appliance that is used to keep food hot and is found in cafeterias. Jut in case you didn't know.
