Author's notes:Konnichiwa!!!!!!Chapter 2's up.By the way I forgot to mention that I got the idea of the sue rame from shadow skills.Tonikaku,this is it for this chapter and the usual disclaimers.ja!
Hanori much preferred her dealings with the Cyclops.
*'Learning' room*
It was almost a week now since she came to Cephiro.Hanori was quite popular because of her sweetness and her zest for life.She and Hikaru got along pretty well and soon they were like the best of friends.
It was also a week since she started being an apprentice under Master Mage Clef.She found out that under the childish looks was a stern teacher.Hanori suffered a lot of scoldings and occasional whacks from his weird-looking staff.
Today,they were still practicing on how to handle the talismans.
"Dame!"Clef cried.
Boom!
The 'learning' room was filled with smoke.Soot clinged to Hanori's sleeveless vest,ruining the pale pink material with pale blue linings.One of her long bell-shape sleeves with similar color was torn to her elbow.Her harem pants and the pale blue wrap-around skirt were covered in ash and soot,not to mention her face.
"Baka!I told you to concentrate not daydream."
"I would have concentrated if you haven't kept on whacking me on the head for my every damned mistakes!"
"Now,let's try again.This time...concentrate!"
"Hai,hai."
Once again Hanori postioned herself and concentrated as she pulled out another piece of paper and chanted.She tried summoning the element of fire again but to no avail.This time the out-of-control flame hit and 'burned' Clef.
"Uh-oh."Was all Hanori could say as she tried to control herself from laughing.But when the smokes cleared,she could no longer restrain herself.She had to laugh.The sight of what was left of the once-impeccably-neat Clef threw Hanori into a fit of giggles.
"Kuso!"
"I guess this is it for today."Hanori said as she dashed for the door just as Clef bellowed her name which echoed all throughout the castle.
*Hallway*
Hanori was on her way to the bathroom when she met up with the Magic Knights.Seeing the towels they're bringing,Hanori knew they were heading to the same destination as she.
One look from her dirt-smudged clothes,Hikaru knew that their training was another failure."Failed again?"
"Hai!"Hanori mumbled."And I got myself another whack in the head.Someday,I'm really going to break that weird staff of his."
"This time the damage report is----"Hikaru asked.
"Clef."
The thought of a all-dirt-covered Clef made the Magic Knights burst into fits of laughter.Hanori kept on giving them details as they walked towards the bathroom.By the time they reached their destinations their stomachs were aching from laughing.
"Ooooh.That is one huge bathtub."Hanori commented.
"Well,it is that."Fuu said.The girls began taking off their clothes and piling their hair atop their heads.Clad only in towels,they made their way to the tub.
"Suteki."Hanori sighed."A warm bath is a nice reward after a day's lesson with Clef."
Hanori didn't miss the cold glare Umi gave her and was puzzled.What the hell was that about?Hanori thought.Maybe she just had a hard day.So Hanori dismissed Umi's glare from her mind and enjoyed the relaxing bath.
Hanori beagn telling the Magic Knights her day with Clef.She told them how Clef doens't want her to be late and why she should wear the 'proper' uniform.She told them how easily Clef gets irritated with her whenever she does a wrong thing like not concentrating or not listening to his lessons.
Hanori also told them the praises Clef told about the Magic Knights and how they saved Cephiro.Clef also told her about the past Cephiro and it's ruler and how the cahos started.Clef told Hanori about a hundred of stuff she didn't even asked him to.
After 15 minutes Umi stood up and declared that she was finished but Hanori tried to convince her to stay a little more.
"Hey,don't go yet."Hanori chided."Don't be such a killjoy.We're having so much fun here.Ikenai,Umi-san."
"I don't want to spend another moment with you and your ceaseless chattings!"With a glare,Umi changed into her clothes and left.
"What's wrong with her?"Hanori asked.
"It's time for her monthly."Hikaru said as Fuu nodded in agreement."She always like that when her monthly visitor comes....I think.".
*Umi's Room*
"I hate her!I hate her!I hate her!!!!!!!"Umi shouted as she threw a vase to the wall.All around her were pillows thrown,glasses shattered and sheets disarrayed.
Umi walked over to her mirror and stared at her reflection.Her ocean blue hair was limp and unkempt,her sapphire blue eyes burned with anger and hatred and all for one girl.
"Hanori."Umi muttered her name in disgust."Hanori Tenshino.Fragrant flower of the angels.Hah!"
[One week here and she gets everyone's attention,including his!What's so enchanting about that sable-haired girl with ugly,plain black eyes anyway?]
[I'm much more beautiful than her and much more elegant.]
"How dare she snare him?!"Umi scowled."I know him far longer than she did.I'm much better too!"
Grabbing a nearby vase,Umi threw it across the room.Suddenly,a knock echoed throughout the room.Then,Ascot's voice.
"Daijobu desu ka,Umi-san?I heard a crash and thought you might be injured."
Slowly the door opened and out came Umi."I'm fine,Ascot.Just a little angry."
Ascot peered through the door and saw the mess."A little?I'd hate to be around if you're really angry."
Umi glared at him."If you just came here to annoy me then leave.I have no use for insensitive people like you!"
"Gomen ne,Umi-san.Demo I was just worried about you."Ascot said."Care to tell me what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?What's wrong?!"Umi shrieked."Hanori's what's wrong,baka!"
"Huh?"A puzzled Ascot asked.
"She arrives in this castle and everyone's captivated by her.It's 'Hanori this,Hanori that.' or 'She's so wonderful'."
"But it is true."
Umi glared at Ascot,making him regret he ever spoke those words."What's so interesting about her anyway that even straight-laced Clef spends time with her?"
"Ah,so it's about Clef."
"Damn right it is.For heaven's sake she's just a wanderer with an unknown past and maybe without a future.What does she have that Clef saw and fell in love with?"
"Clef's in love with her?"
"Of course Clef's in love with her but he doesn't notice it yet.For all Clef's hiding of emotions,that's one feeling he can't try to hide.I know the look of love anytime,anywhere.''
"Then,why didn't you notice mine?"
"What are you murmuring about?"
"Iye,nandemonai Umi-san."
"Saa,iko.I need something to drink to quench my thirst."
With that,Umi and Ascot left the room to go to the kitchens.Hikaru was by the counter when Umi and Ascot entered.As usual,with all her energy,she greeted her friend.
"Ne,ne.Umi,why were you in such a bad mood earlier?"
Umi couldn't very well tell Hikaru the truth so she lied instead."It's time for my monthly."
"Monthly?"Ascot asked,obviously puzzled.
"Nandemonai."Both of them answered.
"I knew this had had to be a reason for you to be acting like a snob."Hikaru said."So,you're fine now?"
"Mmm."
*Presea's Room*
"I hate her!I hate her!I hate her!!!!!!!!!"Presea screamed."Why that little bitch!I ought to strangle her!"
"Miss beautiful coming here and sweeping Clef Off his feet!!!I swear I'll get even with her.Just she wait and see."
"I'm much more skillful than her.She only a bloody sue rame and an amatuer to boot while I'm Cephiro's greatest blacksmith.Compared to me,she is nothing!"
Presea turned to her mirror and glared to her reflection."You hear me?NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!"
After the last scream,Presea calmed down,lied in her bed and slept,dreaming of boiling Hanori or burning her at stake.
