Rosario X Vampire: Classified
Chapter 10: Rise (Part 2: Aftermath)
(Note: I would like to thank scrapbookofwasabi and Thunderwolf7226 for the positive reviews and advice)
I held him down with greater force on his chest in order to get an answer out of him. Fighting the leader of the Student Police was the last thing that I wanted. His eyes looked up at me with defiance as he gnashed his teeth and struggled in my grip on him, "I ask you again, Kuyo, do you yield?" I asked with small flames from mouth and nostrils.
"Never," he muttered with a snarl "I'll make you wish you were never born!"
"Then you are a fool," I said, letting loose my grip on him. I let my dragon form fade to dust, and returned back to my human form. "look around you, I see the same things in monsters as I do with humans, I see diversity, I see unity, such qualities are found in humans, I have lived long enough to see humans come together in times of struggle,"
"Then you're blind, Zorine, and your blindness effects your judgement," said Kuyo,
"That maybe so, maybe I am blind, but at least my words can find ways for others to relate to," I said, and walked up to him and held my hand out to him. I hoped my words would get through to him. Instead as he took my hand, he stabbed me in the belly with a fire spear. I cringed in pain, and held the wound, "if I am blind, you must be deaf,"
"As I've said before, I don't do well with rivals," He reminded me, "like I said, even if I kill you, the world will not change,"
I evaded another fire spear that was meant to be the killing blow by moving to the side, and punching him square in the forehead to knock him out cold, "I should have done that earlier, and this fight would not have escalated the way it did," I healed myself, and carried Kuyo on my shoulder to the Nurses Office. It was the least I could do for him.
"You should've left him, he's going to keep going after you," said Kurumu with her hands on her hips when I came out of the office,
"Do unto others as you would have done to you," I replied with a wink, I walked with her through the halls of the school as the homeroom bell sounded, "well, you got your wish, Kurumu, you got to see what I am," I said sitting down at my desk, "if you do not want to be my friend anymore, I understand," I soon felt her hand rubbing my back.
"It doesn't matter what you are, you're still my friend," said Kurumu,
'Friendship is such a beautiful thing' I thought with a thankful smile, "Danke," I replied, all the students in the classroom kept their distance say for a few of Kurumu's friends, "come now, I do not bite," I said to them, and slowly and steadily they went back to their normal desks. It is going to take some time for things to settle down after that fight.
"So...you're a dragon?" said Gin, a werewolf and member of the Newspaper Club,
"Yes, that is the big secret," I looked at the other students, and I could see the fear some of them have in their eyes. I opened my books to the lesson of the day, "it is not up to me to tell them how they should feel, it is up to them to decide," I stated, I do not expect things to settle down in one day. Still I had Kurumu and her friends for support.
"True, but it will make it more difficult for you to make friends," Gin pointed out,
"Then what is a life without challenges? Not one worth having," I replied, and classes began. Still, I am thankful for knowing such good people and monsters at this school. I know that after what happened, I may not be at this school for much longer. If he is to punish me for my actions, I am thinking the Head of the School should hear both sides.
"Do you do rides on your back, Zori-chan?" asked the witch Yukari whom I have been getting to know better
"I suppose it could not hurt," I said, ruffling her hat. After homeroom, I was gestured into the office of the Head of the School. I am thinking the news of the incident in the courtyard has reached his ears. He gestured for me to sit down. I sighed, and sat down in the chair, "I know, I should not have fought him, but I felt a need to defend myself,"
"I understand that, but I would rather hear both sides of the story," said the Head of the School, "do you realize the consequences of your actions?"
"I do, sir, yet even if I defeated him, he would have still exposed who I am to the students, I would rather show what I am to the students and have them decide for themselves," I explained, knowing how the head of the Student Police works, "thus, even if I turned him down, it would not matter, he would still tell everyone what I am,"
"Somehow I knew this kind of incident would happen," He replied, "you're a very bright student, very smart, it really pains me to do this to you, Zorine Faust,"
"Until I come to a conclusion after hearing Kuyo's side of the story, and testimonies from witnesses, you are hereby expelled from Yokai Academy," He concluded, "when that is done, I will decide whether or not you come back to school," my heart felt heavy as I bowed and left his office. It will not take long for the rumor to spread to the students.
