Review replies: MorroAndJaylynn-WAIT WHAT, DID THAT HAPPEN TO YOU? Ok, I often like to make my characters suffer so I assume they don't happen very much BUT BOI I SWEAR IF YOU WERE BEATEN TILL YOU THREW UP IRL THEN I'D BE VERY CONCERNED :C

The long haired boy opened the bathroom stall and slowly made his way out. He had washed his face so his tears were practically unnoticeable. He didn't want to let anyone know he had cried.

He was about to start walking towards the assembly hall to meet up with Kurumi and Ezra, it was 4:00pm and they had probably finished their shift by now.

"Oh there you are!" A soft but husked voice echoed out in the large hallway crowded with people. Morro could recognize that voice from anywhere.

"Mrs Maynard?"

He turned around to see the kind old lady sitting in her wheelchair. She had wispy grey hair that was neatly tucked into a bun, she also wore glasses and her clothes were plain but casual. This woman was the leader's mother. She smiled at Morro.

Mrs Sarah Maynard was a kind old lady who was very helpful and kind to the citizens at the rebellion. She would also scold her son when he was being too strict (Which made him flush with embarrassment). Everyone knew and liked her. Morro was particularly close to her as they'd always see each other after school.

"Is school finished now dearie?" She asked.

Morro gave her a slight nod.

"Did you have a nice time?"

Nice time? The five hours he'd been there was anything but.

He didn't want to think about it but managed to utter out a "Yes."

Her face frowned a little all of a sudden "Oh dear, you have a little scratch mark on your cheek. How on earth did that happen?" She tried to wheel herself forward and gently examine him but he put her arm aside and shook his head.

"It's nothing for you to worry about."

She looked concerned "Morro, you know you can't hide anything from me. I've been visiting you ever since you were five. I only want to help."

The black haired sighed.

"Do you remember when I said I don't enjoy school-those kids and how they tease me all the time?"

"Yes."

He paused.

"They beat me up."

Her face looked distraught "Why would they do such a thing?"

"I don't know!"

He looked at the ground with a hand to his cheek.

"I don't know..."

The lady came up with a resolution "I'll tell the carers, no, with that behaviour I believe your sister or Ezra should be told about this!"

Morro looked up at her in alarm "No, please don't! She's really overprotective, who knows what she'll do!-And...Ezra will probably react the same way..."

"Then so be it. I cannot stand bullies; they are nothing but stupid cowards. I myself had them when I was a little girl."

The ten year old looked surprised "You had them too?"

She sighed "I'm afraid for some people, bullying is just a natural occurrence in life. It really is unfortunate. That's why you should let your sister or Ezra know, I would gladly do something but alas, my legs...Your sister and Ezra however, are fine assa-I-I mean strong teenagers! They'll teach those nuisances a lesson-you'll see. Now come."

Her soft, wrinkly hand took Morro's small and smooth one and began to move her wheelchair towards the assembly hall whilst Morro trailed beside her.


In the hall, the black haired met up with Kurumi and Ezra. They all embraced tightly, followed by a ruffle of the hair by Ezra. They then saw Mrs Maynard and greeted her too. Ezra even kissed her hand as a play flirt, making Kurumi roll her eyes.

Then we get to the serious part...


"They WHAT?"

The first person to react was Ezra.

Mrs Maynard brought up the news whilst she allowed Morro to explain in detail. He wasn't...let's just say...eager to recall what had just happened twenty minutes ago.

The hunched woman nodded gravely "I'm afraid so, he's been hiding it from you and I believe that is too much of a burden to bear. Please do something about those nuisances, although, after hearing this, I'm sure you'll do so anyway."

"Morro..."

Ezra, Morro and Mrs Maynard looked at Kurumi who had been surprisingly silent until now.

The black haired child gulped when he saw her scary facial expression. Kurumi was a very serious person enough as it is. If someone ever caused her to make this face however, they were done for.

"I'd like to pay a visit to your school tomorrow..."


The day passed and the next continued like usual. They got up, got dressed, made their way into the dining hall and ate. Mornings were supposed to be relaxing, but today, the air was heavy.

Kurumi and Ezra then made their way to the school, where his sister would be joining them today. Morro suddenly realized that Kurumi was wearing casual clothes and she had dyed her red hair strands completely black.

Kurumi could almost read his expression "So they don't know it's me. Ezra and I are pretty much famous in the rebellion." Of course, she meant the fact that she was the most skilled assassin there. Ezra was included because he was the most skilled after Kurumi and both had started at a young age. She wouldn't mention that to Morro though.

The black haired looked at his sister worriedly.

'What are you planning?' He thought to himself.

Ezra took Kurumi away from Morro for a quick second.

"You have that knife I gave you when we were kids; you're not planning to kill are you?"

The black haired girl shook her head "No, I only intend to injure the children who beat up Morro. The bystanders will get a different treatment."

"You sure you don't want me to help?"

"Ezra, they're ten year old kids. We have to kill dangerous men and women who are high in power, those kids will be like flies compared to them."

The teenage boy smiled and nodded.

"Alright."


Morro and his sister walked into the classroom. There was a different woman in charge today and she looked surprised to see Kurumi.

"Um...can I help you miss?"

Kurumi stared at her in a funny way.

"Can I help you? I'm teaching this class today. Perhaps you read the schedule wrong."

The woman looked at the schedule. She saw a different name on the list for the class, a woman named 'Elsa Herman'.

"Oh, my apologies Miss Herman!" The woman flushed with embarrassment and quickly left the room.

The carer was supposed to be teaching the class, but Kurumi had messed with the schedule and wrote down a fake name beforehand. Her brother looked at her with a surprised expression: she only winked back at him with a smirk.


Not only had Kurumi messed with the schedule but she had prepared an entire lesson for them as well. She was surprisingly good at fooling people.

During Kurumi's lesson, the ginger haired boy and the two others who had beaten up Morro smiled menacingly at him from across the room: this had no effect on the black haired boy, in fact, it was the happiest he'd ever been. He ignored them with a confident smile on his face which made the group of boys very confused.

The day passed quite quickly and it was soon break period. Morro remembered that the teacher would often leave the class for their break, but he knew his sister wouldn't let him out of her sight. He waited in anticipation.

The black haired girl cleared her throat "Well done everyone! As you all know, it's break period, so you are free to do whatever you want. I know the teachers normally leave you but I'm staying here to keep an eye on you if that's ok with you."

"What?!" One boy rose out of his seat "But that's not fair!"

It didn't take long for the whole class to erupt into chaos, all except Morro.

The teenage girl remained calm and cleared her throat loudly to silence them.

"I am staying, like it or not. Just because I'm here, it doesn't mean you can't play."

The whole class didn't argue further as it didn't look as if she was up for persuasion. Break period began whilst Kurumi kept watch from afar.

The black haired child went to go walk to the bookshelf to pick out a book. He wasn't interested in wrestling with the boys or gossiping with the girls, reading seemed to be the only enjoyable activity he could do here.

He tried to pick out a book but it didn't seem to want to come out. He tried again but pulled with all of his might, it still didn't work. Morro decided to approach his sister for help.

"Ummm, Miss Herman, could you please help me? There's a book stuck on the shelf that I wanna read."

She nodded with a kind smile and crouched in front of the bookshelf. She then tugged and loosened the book until it finally came out...

...which was a huge mistake.

As soon as Kurumi took the book out, a bucket toppled over from the top of the shelf and fell onto Morro's head. He was drenched entirely.

The same three boys collapsed into laughter eventually leading into the entire class.

"Look at him now, drenched like a wet dog! Why don't you shake your hair like one, it'll help it dry!" The ginger haired spat at him.

The assassin turned around and stood up, Morro could only watch as he shivered near the shelf.

She walked towards the door and barricaded it with a stick. The laughter silenced itself as they watched her.

Then, without warning, Kurumi threw her knife into a boomeranged circle causing the entire class to scream. The knife returned to her hands and the class stared at her in confusion...until their hair fell off.

One by one, their top hairs gracefully swayed to the ground leaving the children's upper scalp completely bald.

The boys yelled and screamed whilst the girls cried and mourned their hair.

"SHUT UP!"

After the assassin yelled the screaming turned into pathetic whimpering.

"I want all of you to answer my question; otherwise I'm going to do a lot more than just cut your hair." She snarled at them, the fearful whimpering continued.

"Who beat up Morro yesterday?"

No answer.

"Who beat up Morro yesterday?!"

Finally, the children pointed to the three boys and stepped away from them. They trio shook in terror.

The ginger boy spoke up in a loud tremble "N-No they're lying! We didn't do it!"

The older sibling turned towards the younger one "Is this true?"

Morro hesitantly nodded.

The boys screamed and attempted to run away but Kurumi caught up to them and held their collars into the air. She then took out her knife and gave one clean and diagonal slash on their faces.

The black haired let go of them as they hunched on the ground and screamed in agony, small droplets of blood dripped onto the floor. The children screamed too but in fear.

"If any of you even try to hurt Morro again, I'll cut off your hands so you won't be able to hit with them again, understand?"

Of course she was just over exaggerating to scare them, but she certainly wouldn't let them get away unscathed.

The children nodded quickly.

Kurumi un-barricaded the door and opened it.

"Then get out of my sight."

They screamed and ran out of the classroom until the only two people left were Morro and Kurumi.

She turned towards her brother "Are you okay? You're completely drenched..."

Morro stared at her with a shocked expression.

"That was..."

His mouth broke into an excited smile and his eyes became starry.

"...AWESOME!"

Kurumi relaxed a little and chuckled.

"Geez, I mean where do I start? You were so scary but you were so badass at the same time!"

"Hey, hey language." She gently reminded him.

"Sorry, but still! You were awesome! Did you see their faces?! I bet you fight bad guys all the time to be THAT amazing!"

Kurumi sheepishly smiled "No, I'm just a fetcher Morro, nothing special."

That was a definite lie.


Kurumi and Morro greeted Ezra and returned to their room. As soon as they did, the hazel haired sat down on the bed with Morro and Kurumi beside him.

"I want you to tell me everything!" He told Morro "This is going to be so satisfying to hear!"

Morro excitedly began telling him the events that unfolded earlier. Kurumi's disguise, the bucket and the shelf, the children, when all their hair fell off and the boys getting slashed in the face: everything was told in great detail.

After his story, it was decided that Morro wouldn't be attending class anymore and to arrange for a carer to come and teach him privately.

You have no idea how satisfying it was to write this oml XD Anyways, now that the bullies are dealt with and I've gotten the story going, I think I'm gonna start getting to the actual plot and events and also switching to Kurumi again to actually get a taste of her daily life and what she hides from Morro. Also, clue for what's gonna happen next chapter, Morro's going to make his first friend...at least that's what he thinks- OK I'VE SAID TOO MUCH BAI MERRY CHriSTmAs~ *Flees*
