Nathair1: Thank you. Yeah, Clara is one kinky demon.
Please enjoy the next chapter.
Clara and Iruma walked down the road towards the school, Clara frowning as she hung her head, "What's wrong?" Clara hummed and looked up in confusion, "Don't play dumb, Clara. You've been depressed since we left the mansion and if I had to guess as to why, you're upset that Luna, Sol and Yumi aren't with us today,"
"I…yeah…Iruma-kins, I'm worried that they'll come to the house and try to steal Luna and Sol while we're at school and the principal's going to be there and…I don't want them to do anything an-"
"Your parents, Urara and Opera are still at the mansion, Clara, and while they're all Chets I doubt that Talisa and Markov will fear them much…you know your mother is strong and Opera doesn't show weakness or mercy, so they'll be looking at a death wish if they try anything stupid, and if they try to cross us…they'll have a death sentence an-"
"Iruma, Clara," the two stopped and looked back in confusion as Ameri approached them, "Good morning, my parents have given me the day off and I thought I'd stop by the school and…continue our reading sessions and…wait, where are the children at? You two usually bring them to school an-"
"We kept Luna, Sol and Yumi at the mansion because…a few days ago, Luna's and Sol's biological parents showed up, trying to take Luna and Sol from us and we feel better if they're with Opera, Clara's parents and her older brother for the day while we're at school." Ameri sighed and nodded before spotting their ranking badges and her eyes widened, "What's wrong?"
"You rose up from Hé to Chet, and Clara went from Daleth to Vav…what did I miss after I gradated?"
"We had our promotion exams, Lady Redhair and me and Iruma-kins rose up," Clara said in a prideful tone before she frowned, "The lady…she and the man wanted Luna and Sol to die…they left them out in the woods to die because they were weak," Ameri's eyes widened as Iruma frowned and patted the top of his wife's head.
The two looked up at their former Student Council President and Iruma sighed and shook his head, "We'll have a reading session after classes, but what are you going to do?"
"As your former president, I will accompany the two leading members of the Misfit Class and wait until our reading session can begin,"
The couple looked at each other in confusion before looking back at Ameri and Iruma arched a brow, "So…you're going to class with us?" Ameri nodded before taking the two by the hands and began pulling them towards the school.
The students sat at their desks as Naberius took role and Ameri sat in the back of the classroom. Naberius looked up and took a deep breath, "Now, I have an announcement and a question…former President Ameri," Ameri hummed and looked at with slightly narrowed eyes, "What brings you back to Babylus? You finished school and last I heard, are working with your parents at Demon Border Patrol,"
"Oh, I had the day off, and wanted to see how many students were doing," Ameri nervously chuckled.
Naberius hummed as he narrowed his eyes, "Right…as for the announcement, our very own Iruma and Clara Suzuki have had promotional exams this past weekend and I'd like to question the two on how they did,"
"I made it to Vav…why didn't you come to the party, Eggie-Teach?"
"Congratulations on your promotion to Vav, I don't do parties and I told you that that nickname died back in your first year," he then looked at Iruma, "And I suppose you made it to Vav as well Iru-" his eyes widened as Iruma smirked and held up his badge, "C-Chet! No, I refuse to believe that one of my students shares the same rank as I do,"
"You can refuse to believe it all you want, Professor Kalego, but the truth of the matter is one of your students is a Chet," before Naberius could reply, the bell screamed, and the students stood up and walked out of the classroom.
Iruma and Clara walked down the hall with Ameri following close behind them, "Iruma sir," the three stopped and looked back as Alice walked up to them, "I'm sorry sir, but why is our former president here? She graduated last year and her story on seeing how the students were doing doesn't add up since she's only been around you and Clara,"
"Uh…the thing is, Azz, she um-"
"Lady Redhair wants to hang out with me and Iruma-kins, Azz-Azz," Clara answered, and Alice looked at her, "It's something between me and Iruma-kins, Azz-Azz…Lady Redhair knows about it, and she doesn't want anyone to know,"
"Um…okay, but why would you say it like that an-"
"It's something Iruma and I have been doing since my second year and Clara eventually joined us, Asmodeus," Alice hummed and arched a brow, "Now if you'll excuse us, I need Iruma and Clara to help with something personal," before Alice could respond, Ameri took Clara and Iruma by the arm and began pulling them away.
Turning the corner, Ameri released the married couple and sighed, "I'm sorry, but I don't want another demon joining in on our reading sessions,"
"Fine, but Ameri, after you graduated, you took every issue of First Love Memories with you an-" Ameri reached into her blouse and pulled out the manga and smiled at the two as Iruma sighed and shook his head, "Right, of course you'd bring a copy…okay, where do you want to read it?"
"Hmm…why not under the tree you conjured back in your first year?" the two looked at each other before looking at Ameri and nodded and the three of them walked away.
Sitting under the cherry blossom, Ameri looked around with narrowed eyes with Clara next to her before looking at Iruma, who was standing in front of them, holding the manga opened towards them, "Okay…everyone is in class right now….so…please, read," Iruma sighed and nodded as he began reading to the two of them.
Iruma closed the manga and handled it back to Ameri, "Thank you, Iruma," Ameri stood up and stuffed the manga back into her blouse, "Now I must be going. I don't want to attract too much attention,"
"Yeah…and next time, Lady Redhair…come to the mansion," Clara narrowed her eyes slightly and Ameri looked at her, "Me and Iruma-kins had to lie to Azz-Azz and Azz-Azz is our friend. I don't feel right lying to him an-"
"Well, if you don't like it, you can stay out of these sessions an-"
"We're not excluding Clara," the two looked at Iruma as Iruma shook his head, "Clara has been a part of our reading sessions since Luna and Sol came into our lives and I'm not going to tell my wife that she can't come to these anymore…and Clara's right…if you want me to read to you again, you're going to have to come to the mansion. We missed our second period and if we keep missing classes, we could lose credit and we might not be able to graduate,"
Ameri sighed and shook her head, "Very well, the next reading session will be at Lord Sullivan's mansion," the bell screamed through the schoolyard and Ameri took a deep breath, "Well you two should get to your next class before-" before she could finish, Iruma's phone wet off and the two looked at him as he dug his phone out of his pocket and answered.
"Hey Opera, what-" Iruma hummed and arched a brow, "What? What do you…what!" Clara flinched at her husband's tone as Ameri looked at him in confusion, "How did that…when did…we're on our way!" Iruma ended the call and shoved his phone back into his pocket, "Clara, we need to get home,"
"What? But Iruma-kins, we have class and everyone's going to think we're skipping an-"
"Talisa and Markov are at the mansion," Clara's eyes widened as Ameri looked at the two in confusion, "They're trying to get into the mansion to get Luna and Sol. Your parents and Opera are doing everything they can to keep them out, but-"
"Let's go stop them from hurting our babes, Iruma-kins!" Iruma narrowed his eyes and nodded as the two spread their wings and began flying away, leaving Ameri in confusion.
Ameri watched as the two faded from view, "Talisa and Markov? Luna's and Sol's real parents? Are they trying to get themselves killed?"
"President Ameri?" she looked back to see Eiko approaching her, a confused look, "What are you doing here? You graduated last year,"
"I came to speak with Iruma and Clara," Eiko slightly frowned as Ameri sighed and looked up, "And then Iruma got a call from their butler, and they had to leave because someone named Talisa and Markov were at the mansion and Clara seemed angered by it,"
"Oh," Eiko frowned as she looked up towards the sky, "Are they going to kill these demons or something? Because Iruma seems too kind to even think about killing another demon,"
"In case you're forgetting, Iruma wasn't so forgiven during the war against the Six Fingers and that's because they threatened Clara…Iruma isn't one to kill unless his family is threatened, and Luna and Sol are their children,"
Eiko frowned and shook her head, "I messed up before the war," Ameri looked at her in confusion, "I've admired Iruma for the longest time since he saved me from Asmodeus's attack during the entrance exam and I always tried to get close to him…when he told us he was human, I was scared, but not because he would hate demons…but because many demons wouldn't want to associate with him…but…I walked up to him and told him I loved him and kissed him before running off…I saw Clara's face…she looked mad and…I-"
"Iruma wouldn't let her do something she'd regret later in life," Ameri sighed and shook her head, "One time, I thought I was going to be the one Iruma spent his life with, but he told me that he only saw me as a friend and that Clara will always first in his life, outside of their children of course, and many demons have to respect their decisions, even if they don't like it,"
"Right…and there's not much we can do," the bell screamed again and Eiko sighed, "That's the warning scream…I should get to class, but…I'd like to thank you for saving me during the Battler's Party, President Ameri,"
"Of course. It was my job as the Student Council President to ensure the safety of all students," Eiko quickly hugged her former Student Council President and Ameri's eyes widened before she sighed and slightly smiled as she patted the top Eiko's head.
Eiko broke from the embrace and began running towards class as Ameri spread her wings and began flying away.
Okay so…yes, Talisa and Markov are idiots. I wanted to add Ameri into this chapter as I think she's a fan favorite in the anime and the manga, plus I wanted her in the loop of the idiots.
It wasn't officially announced when Clara's parents' ranks are, but if you've read the manga, or seen the second season, you can see her mother is strong, and isn't afraid to kick butt, so I made her a Chet in this story, and all we know about her father is he's an adventurer.
Please enjoy everyone.
