Forgive me for not updating in almost two weeks, but the amount of tests and homework and whatnot that school has dumped on me is very tiring. Okay, the results of Kimiaru's little revenge scene is here and it actually took a toll on both of them. Enjoy!

Chapter: 11
Back To School

"Woah." That was all Tyki Mikk had to say after his daughter walked out of the study. He had no idea that she'd be able to really pull it off, he'd been half expecting her to abandon the whole thing and just strangle Debitto right there and then, but he had been clearly proved wrong.

"So, how was my performance daddy?" From sultry to happy-go-lucky, this girl was definitely something.

"It was-" he coughed a few times before straightening up, he was her father for crying out loud, and he could do this! "It was g-good."

'Did I just stutter? No, I, Tyki Mikk, do not stutter!'

"You did very well, much better than I thought you would, and you took initiative. I'm proud."

"You know, aren't normal fathers supposed to discourage their daughters from doing this kind of thing?"

"I suppose, but I have gray skin, stigmata across my forehead and golden eyes. Is that the description of a normal otou-san to you?"

"You never know."

Tyki shook his head in amusement and let a relatively dark look invade his eyes.

His new child took a step back and shivered, "what are you hiding?"

"Nothing much."

"Can you tell me?"

"Soon enough."

"You're creeping me out."

He grinned, covered his ears, and said the last thing a teenager wants to hear.


As soon as the scream tore through the air, Road was trudging down the winding stairs - Lero in hand. She was pissed. Why? Because people kept waking her up. The other reason? Because Milleni's stupid umbrella kept trying to escape her grasp as she slept, so not only did she have to keep yanking the pumkpin-headed parasol back to her, she also had to deal with people who wouldn't give her a good night's rest. Especially since tomorrow was-

Ugh. She shuddered thinking about it, how dare she be forced back into that horrid place? Shaking her head, the female Kamelot sauntered into the kitchen and headed towards the hallway that lead to the study.
There, she found Kimiaru with her arms crossed, turning away from Tyki who was trying to talk to her.


"Kimiaru. Kimiaru. Kimiaru you have to listen to me."

"No."

"And why not?"

"Because I don't want to hear anymore of this nonsense."

"Nonsense?"

"Exactly, I do not want that word come out of anyone's mouth-"

"That's enough!" The eldest scowled at the two that were bickering, "I'm tired of being woken up time and time again. The both of you had better shut up 'cause I need to go back to sleep so that I can be ready-"

"Don't say it Road, that word is taboo," the Portuguese man warned.

"Ahem, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted: so that I can be ready for school-"

"NO! DON'T MENTION THAT HEINOUS PLACE! NO!" The brunette was on the floor - in fetal position - with her hands over her ears and her body shivering, "no, no, no. Never again."

To say the fourteen-year-old look-alike was surprised would have been an understatement. She just stared at the girl that was shaking on the ground and managed to keep her jaw from hanging open, just the word "school" could get her trembling like this? Cool! Collecting blackmail was quite fun.

Tyki, on the other hand, clutched the quivering female's arms and shook her gently, "come on, up you go."

In less than a second, Kim was back to her normal self but she remained on the carpet glaring at her dad. "I'm not going."

"Yes, yes you are."

"No!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes, and I had better not hear that tone again."

"Since when can you tell her what to do Tyki?"

"Ever since I became her father, Road."

The small Kamelot's eyes lit up, "you really became her otou-san? Yay! I finally have a cousin!"

"Ma-Matte!" But it was no use, in record time, the sixteen-year-old had been dragged up the stairs and into Road's room where a tea party was being set up.

Eyes wide with horror, Kimiaru grasped onto the door frame and used her other hand to reach towards her father - who was rooted to the bottom of the staircase - and yelped when she had been yanked inside by her cape.


"I have to go to sleep or else I won't be ready for (*gag*) school tomorrow."

"Who cares?" the short-haired girl said care-freely while smiling, she grabbed a tea-pot and set it on the small table, "my tea parties are much more important."

"But I don't want to have a tea party."

Two golden eyes glanced at the teen who had just spoke, and a smirk came to rest upon the features of the oldest Noah in the room, "sorry, but you don't have a choice."

'I wish I had just stayed trembling on the floor.'

'Well that's just too bad now isn't it? You are officially screwed my dear.'

'I know, why me?'

'Because you're a spoiled little bitch of course, been pampered all your life and now you're paying the price for complaining about school. Now you'd better tune in to what she's saying, there is no way in hell that you want her to find out you've been zoning out.'

"Please pass the tea Kimi-chan," and that was the phrase that started the chanoyu (1).


"I really am a terrible father," Tyki massaged the back of his neck and sighed, "who in their right minds would let their daughter get hauled away by Road of all people? I knew I wasn't cut out for this." He walked away from his niece's door after hearing the conversation and headed towards his room.

About an hour later, he woke up to the sound of paper slipping between his door and the polished, wooden floorboards. Groaning, he lifted himself off the bed, turned on the light, picked up the note and read the words that were written with nail polish: WORST DAD EVER!

A laugh tumbled out of his mouth and he simply shook his head, dropped the stationary on his bedside table, switched off his lamp and went to sleep.


As Kimiaru stared up at her ceiling, she finally confirmed the fact that no, it wasn't Road's unbearably strong tea that was keeping her awake, it was her bothersome mind that kept thinking about a certain ravenette.

She couldn't deny that giving him a taste of his own medicine was fun, not at all, but it's not as if the encounter didn't affect her too. All the blushing that Debi had done got her wondering whether or not he liked her back, it was completely possible for him not to be attracted to her yet give out those reactions because, let's face it, he's a teenage boy- they're like that. And it wasn't only her mind that was in turmoil, but her hormones too.

Debitto was sexy, no doubt about that, but the moment she had stepped into her room (after a grueling hour of playing tea party and painting nails with her "cousin"), her hormones made sure she knew exactly what she had done. A whole lot of giggling and jumping around had been done when images of the scarlet-faced seventeen-year-old flooded her mind, it then turned to absolute and never-ending curiosity as she pondered over the fact of whether he returned her feelings or not.

After a while, the inquisitiveness switched over to depression as she brooded about how he probably didn't like her at all and his redness was probably due to embarrassment or rage. The giddiness, to the curiousness, to the depression simply switched from one to the other, over and over again as she thought about what's what.

'This is worse than PMS.'

'Damn right!'


They had been deprived of sleep but neither showed it, it wouldn't do any good for their pride if they walked down the stairs looking like zombies.

Kimiaru was out first, dressed fully in her uniform - with a little alteration of course. She wore the same uniform as Road (the black top instead of the white) except she had cut up the red tie and made them into five mini bows. Two were situated at her shoulder, two more on her black school shoes, and the last one attached to the middle of her closed collar. The skirt remained original and so did the stockings.

Her hair was held in a neat bun by various senbon.

"Good morning!" A strangled choke escaped her lips - after her greeting - as she wrestled to get out of her uncle's vice-like grip.

"Good morning and how are you my wonderful little niece? I am so happy that Tyki finally adopted you!" Kimi's hand reached out to the Portuguese man that was watching with pure astonishment, of course, after her dad had frozen when she was lugged away by her cousin, she didn't expect him to help.

A mouthed "help me" was what followed her actions and he instantly snapped out of his daze. Sighing, he ran a hand through his hair before walking through the table, grabbing his daughter, phasing her out of Cyril's arms and sitting her down.

"Arigatou, chichi."

"No problem."

"Have you seen Debitto this morning?"

"No...why?" a devious smile overtook his face and she cleared her throat loudly to distract herself from his sly gaze, "now why would my little musume wonder where Debi is? Maybe she-"

"AHEM!" The brunette patted her chest after yelling out the word and quietly started picking out her breakfast from the various dishes in front of her.

Debitto and Jasdero were the last to arrive, both yawned simultaneously as they waltzed into the dining room and took a seat next to each other.

Their uniforms were different from the females' own, theirs were white button up shirts with the school's insignia sewed at the breast pocket, the striped blue tie was fitted tightly against their necks and they wore the the required, navy-blue slacks. Black shoes sat comfortably on their feet.

If it wasn't for the fact that Kimiaru was sitting straight across from them, then she wouldn't have noticed that the both of them were avoiding eye contact with her.


"Have a good day at school my dears!" the Earl shouted as Tyki revved up the engine of his silver Porsche cayman. Lulu Bell gave a small, insignificant wave before exiting the abandoned garage by going through one of Road's doors, Cyril, on the other hand, was sobbing as he screamed for the female Kamelot not to part from him.

The twenty-six-year-old was quick to leave the scene since he didn't want his brother to tie up the car with his 'strings' and keep them from moving at all. Again.

As soon as they had gone out of seeing distance, the twins unbuttonned three buttons of their shirts and undid their ties and flung it around the back of their necks.

"Dero can breathe again, hee-hee."

Road spared a glance at them and shook her head amusedly, "you know Milleni will kill you two if he finds out you do that, right?"

"We know, that's why we wait until he can't see us hee-hee."

The both of them reached into a compartment on the car door and brought out a case of make-up, after they finished smearing it around their eyes, they kept it back and wiped their hands on tissues they pulled out of their pockets.

"Whatever, anyway, Debi, did you finish your summer homework?" (Debi)

Said Noah glanced at the speaker, "nope. Who cares anyway?"

"The teachers, and anyway, I thought you were doing it yesterday night, why isn't it done?"

He tensed slightly and risked a peep at the youngest of them all, she was staring back at him, a smirk painted on her lips as she wondered what his answer would be.

"Come on De-bi, what stopped you?" the brunette asked - leaning towards him and letting a finger stroke his cheek. He was saved from answering when Jasdero changed the subject. From the corner of her eye she could see Jasdero fidgeting uneasily.

"Debi should stop sharing his feelings of discomfort with Dero, they make Dero feel weird, that's why Dero wouldn't look at Kimi this morning and that's why Dero could barely sleep at night."

"We're here!" Tyki sang and halted the car at the gates. Everyone's face filled with agony and he was just able to suppress a grin from forming at the others' sorrow. "Out you go!"

They each just sat there - unmoving, barely breathing - until they were all kicked out by the owner of the automobile.

"I'll pick you up at three." And with that, the man gracefully drove away - the remaining members of the Noah family stood in a line as they watched friends meet up with each other again, asking about how their summer vacation was.

"We step in at the count of three." (Kim)

"One..." (Road)

"Two..." (Debitto)

"Three!" (Jasdero) With the last number being said, they each put one foot forward onto the grounds of Shiawase High School.
