Tokyo Babylon--The High School Years
by Miyuki Inakamono
Author's Babble: You know, when I started this project, I didn't really intend for it to be too much; I just had a little idea and I started to jot out a scene on a piece of paper. Well, here I am, part two. Go figure... Anyway, um, yeah, the Tree talks. WHY NOT?! *sweatdrop; kisses Kouri and Karasu's feet* Anyway. *soaps her mouth out* Enjoy.... This gets incredibly stupid. And I don't own it. Okay then.
Part Two
Subaru slid into the booth next to Hokuto in the slowly filling cafeteria of the high school. "Su-chan!" she glomped him, huggling him tightly. "How has your day been?" And then she noticed the look on her brother's face. "Su-chan... You look like something terrible has happened..."
"Hokuto-chan! Nice to see you."
BAM! Hokuto's jaw hit the table. "SEI-CHAN?!" She took a minute to gawk, then she glomped him as well. "YAY! What are you doing here?!"
"I'm teaching of course. I just had Subaru-kun in my class last hour."
"Oh?" She grabbed Subaru's schedule, curious as ever, and Subaru turn bright red as Hokuto got that look on her face. You know what look I'm talking about; we're all Tokyo Babylon fans here. "Sei-chan... You teach sex-ed.... HEEEEE!!" She burst into giggles. "YOU GET TO TEACH SU-CHAN ALL ABOUT SEX!!!!" She instantly gained her composure, causing Subaru to facefault into his salad. "This is oddly ironic."
"Oh, I get to teach you as well, Hokuto-chan," Seishriou said, taking a seat across from the twins.
"Dah, I know, but I have a feeling I won't get nearly as much out of it as Su-chan will, neeee, Su-chan??" Grin grin grin....
Subaru lifted his face, oddly clean, and just stared at his sister. "Can I go now?"
Hokuto glomped onto him. "NO! I'm not done teasing you yet!"
"Oh, good God..."
***
Subaru settled into the seat near the middle of the classroom of his last class--world geography. He was quite happy for such a boring last half of the day. It gave him plenty of time to get over sex education--and lunch. Seishirou had attempted to play a game of footsie under the table, resulting in a red-faced and highly unamused Subaru.
He was certain he was in for a year.
Seishirou as a teacher was certainly not what he was expecting from the older omnyouji. He was baffled for why Seishirou would take such a drastic change from being a vet--and he certainly didn't know why Seishirou actually had a license to teach. He shivered. Seishirou teaching was certainly a scary thought, and one he would have to learn to deal with.
Although...
Hokuto had probably been right on the fact that he'd get more out of the class than she would. Okay, he was guilty of kinda sorta loving Seishirou, and was it his fault that he also happened to teach? Noooo. That was mere conincidence. He was pretty aware that Seishirou would have a hard time losing his attention. Hell, all Seishirou would have to do to keep his attention would be to GO TO SCHOOL AND TEACH.
Ah, who cared if Subaru stared?
Certainly nobody that he particularly cared for himself. And what they thought didn't matter anyway. The hardest person to deal with would be Hokuto, and all he had to do was just block her out. She'd eventually give up if she stopped getting a reaction from him. Then he could stare all he wanted. He smiled to himself and doodled on his notebook paper absently (just little squiggles, nothing important) as the teacher in front of the class went over the rules.
And then Subaru had a double take.
Was it even possible to block out Hokuto? He had never managed to cease her teasing before--he'd been hearing it ever since he and Seishirou had actually been a so-called "couple." (That in it's own was never confirmed, it just....was. There was no need in it being confirmed. It was obvious.) Well, here was a nice little hurdle for him to jump. How could he get Hokuto off his back? Well, blackmail was a good idea. Seishirou's idea. Why not? 'Well, you don't have a way TO blackmail Hokuto, genious,' his ever-helpful inner voice spoke up.
--I could help!--
'Oh, go away stupid tree.'
--So unappreciated...--
It seemed that he would have to keep a close eye on her. Eventually, something would pop up--a crush, an awkward moment, something had to happen that would give Subaru the perfect chance for blackmail.
Then his path was clear.

"And to think, he's gotta try to promote abstinence! Why, if I ever saw Sei-chan show any kind of control over himself... You know what I'm talking about, don't you Su-chan?" Devilish little grin.
Subaru let out a sigh. She never shut up, did she? "Hokuto-chan, please..."
"Oh, by the way, Sei-chan told me to tell you he was coming over for dinner tonight... After he calls some parents..." She giggled, changing from a walk to a skip. Her and Subaru were taking a short-cut through Ueno Park on their way home from school. "Do you think you'll get in trouble in that class Su-chan? Maybe disobeying the teacher?" She giggled some more. "Not paying attention in class, giving the teacher googly-eyes...."
"Hokuto-chan, you better hope that people will pray for you when I find something to bother you about. You'll never hear the end of it." Subaru glanced upwards through the branches of the sakura, catching glimpses of blue through the pink.
"Su-chan, you'll never be able to go through with it. The day you become mean and evil like me will be the day the world is coming to an end..."
And so Kamui Shirou was born into the world.

Subaru stood in front of the full length mirror in his room, brushing his hair and making sure he looked nice. He didn't bother to change clothes--Seishirou had certainly enjoyed the outfit before so he didn't see the need. He glanced at his watch--almost six. He walked out of his room and down the hallway, stopping breifly to fix the flower arrangement on the dinning table. He sat on the couch--nice, stuffed couch that he loved so dearly--but soon jumped up as the doorbell rang. He jumped to get it, but Hokuto was in the kitchen and beat him to it. "HA!" she gloated, then opened the door as Subaru sulked back to the living room. He didn't want to hear what Hokuto was going to say. He listened to the conversation.
"Hello, Hokuto-chan..."
"SEI-CHAN!"
"Oof... Hokuto-chan, let go. You're smushing Subaru-kun's flowers..."
"Oh, you got Su-chan flowers! Hee, you're pupil is in the living room getting angry at me." She raised her voice a few levels to yell. "SU-CHAN! YOU'RE TUTOR IS HERE!" Giggle giggle giggle....
Subaru was in for a long night...

Well, loving it still? Those who started it really did seem to enjoy it... I'll try to get a new chapter up every week, kays? If you continue to like it. Also, if you like this story, please read some of my others! I'd really appreciate it... Oh, this hasn't been spell-checked or anything yet... I'll revise it then upload that version once I get there. I just want to please my fans right now. Okay, done. R/R!!
