The rest of the month was relatively uneventful, Sharpfang was able to
change advisories, getting away from her "Love and Peace" advisor. It
amazed her how few people were in her new advisory, Kira had joined her,
but for the most part the rest of the group avoided her and steered
completely clear of their advisor. Chapel was weird, though. She gave up
the idea of explaining any of it, some stuff just did not translate. For
some reason, Christian religion was a lot harder to explain than it seemed.
{Wait a second, two lines ago they were talking about smiting enemies.}
but now is all about compassion, yes I know it is riddled with
contradictions About the only chapel times she got a break were the hymn
sings. But then again, when Wolfwood fell over from shock at the singing of
Onward Christian Soldiers, Sharpfang began to wonder "why me." The whole
thing left Legato at a lost. {I thought that they were totally
pacifistic}.one word for you, crusade{Humans do not makes sense}will
they ever
St. Andrews day, twitch, I do not think that this should be legal. She slunk around the school, in her dress up clothes, enduring various jeers. {Why do they have us dress up for anyway? Not that I really have anything else to wear} I was having trouble seeing you in a dress jacket.its another one of those lets see how much pain you can endure things, something about showing respect {thought you might want to know, we have to sit in advisories} great "Sharpfang, it that real?" some one asked her. "Yes, is that a problem?" She snapped back. "Animal killer. All those cute little animals." "That do nothing but consume food and breed." Sharpfang finished sharply. how many times have I heard that? Stupid humans Everyone was hurried into the gymnasium, and the service commenced.
{This is legal, why isn't killing those who persists in annoying you?} because there are people here who actually like this stuff {I see that even Wolfwood looks less than thrilled} Wait, I thought you two were enemies {Actually, we both work for Knives} .good to know, so no shoot outs on the green, right {Unless Vash walks in, no} good, hate to try and explain that one to the cops {I am not going to ask} "All rise as we recite the great thanksgiving." The head priest said. Up, down, up down, next comes the 'fun part'{they eat the body of their savior?}it's a symbol, I personally think the whole thing is a joke {good}trust me you listen to enough of the crap and you very quickly understand why Knives finds so irritating about humans {meaning.}hell fire and brimstone, they can be amazingly evil, and they contradict themselves every other sentence, love your enemy, but hate the wicked, oh and if they disagree with you, God will send them to fire of eternal hell{I really have to learn to not ask} "Everyone will proceed through the communion line, if you do not wish to participate, cross your arms over your chest and the priest will give you a blessing." The priest explained. you first, I really want to see if the priest goes into shock {can't I get out of this?} Look who's ahead of you {Damn, how did this happen?} Capricious fate to use a human term, think of it as one less stupid human, shock is usually lethal Legato nodded. The line began to move, Sharpfang was not sure what to expect. Anar and Legato were glaring at each other, across the isle as the two lines merged. She went to huge lengths to stay directly behind Legato. The minute the priest got a look at him, he about passed out from fear, the moment they were eye to eye, the priest froze. "I bless you." The priest began moving his hand to give a blessing but he stopped dead, and collapsed to the floor. Legato looked amused. {Stupid human} Anar whipped around. "What did you do?" He demanded. "Nothing. I did nothing." Legato answered. this would be a really bad place for a fight, defuse it and wait till later, besides you are badly out numbered "He just passed out from heat." Sharpfang said timidly, knowing she was stepping into a very dangerous situation. "Those priest robes are heavy and there is no ventilation, see he is coming around." "Agent of the Satan, be gone." The priest said, staring at Legato then at Sharpfang. "He's delirious with heat." Sharpfang said quickly. nice job {thank you} Now if you only had the same effect on Anar {Even Knives' angel arm would not effect him} I would really like to find out {there are times you scare even me} "He is right." Anar said smugly, glaring at Legato. "You are a demon." An what does that make you, an angel? Never mind, wrong force "I have no idea what you are talking about. Who is Satan? I know several of the students in one of my classes call Sharpfang that. But I doubt he is talking about her, so who Satan?" this is not happening "The lord of darkness sent you here to make trouble, be gone demon and take your servant with you." The priest said half delirious, still staring at Sharpfang. {servant?} me.I think "Ok, enough, the paramedics are on the way, everyone give him some space." One of the teachers said. "We should get back to our seats." Sharpfang said motioning to Legato. "The scarcer we make our selves the better." "Alright." Legato said, following her back to their seats. you swear you did nothing right? {yes, all I did was look at him, his blessing made my head hurt} you are kidding? Right? {what does that have to do with it?} nothing, please tell me that absolutely nothing happened {what do you expect} no mind control, no unintentional mind reading, nothing, right {nothing, I heard some strange things though} meaning what {something about blessing a demon} great, look this is problem, please do not take this the wrong way but make yourself really scarce after this service, please, there are bound to be major questions {ok, I would rather avoid questions, might tip off the person I am looking for, do not ask} argif {who is the devil they kept referring to} A fallen angel known as Satan, he is considered he lord of darkness, the head demon, I really can not explain, basically his powers make Knives look like a kitten {ok, he thinks I am an agent for some supernatural creature} yah {Knives would find that amusing, him a supernatural creature} erf, that was not what I meant
"So what happened?" Tige asked. "You were standing right there when the priest collapsed." "Demon gods, leave it alone. Nothing happened ok." Sharpfang said defensively, "its not my fault one of the priests can not handle going eye to eye with some one who has a strong will, no interest in religion, and, ok, a fairly unnatural gaze." "I am curious, can this guy do anything wrong?" Tige asked, accusingly. "I would not defend him if something went wrong. It did not, you know full well that if anyone who he was going to drop, its Anar." "So, what, the priest just fell over because he was tired?" "He is alive right, if a priest can not handle going eye to eye with someone who has a slightly unnerving stare, he should not have his job." Sharpfang said, realizing she was in serious trouble. Her back was the preverbal wall. Tige was not going to leave this matter alone. "So what is the deal between Anar and Legato?" Rel asked, breaking the silence. "My fault completely, for starters." Sharpfang said, trying not to sound exasperated. "I am on the tech crew right, and our job is to help teachers and students who are having computer problems, when ever. I get out of Anar's class at Legato's request, but the problem is Anar blows a fuse. Damn near kills me, and gets into staring contest with Legato." "I can think of safer uses for my time, facing down a dragon comes to mind, Anar is deadly when is angry." Tige remarked. arg "So at any rate, Anar now knows I have back up, so he lets Torrall and crew take it out of my hide." "I think I remember the rest. Ok, what did you bribe him with?" "What?" Sharpfang definitely looked lost. "I have told you a dozen times, I have not bribed him with anything. It's not my doing, I swear. Its now a crime for a student and teacher to think the same way." "You even bothered to switch advisories. Plotting an overthrow of the school?" "Very funny, my old advisor was trying to turn me into a pacifist. Ok?" "Would one straight answer kill you?" "Ever wonder how he can command Babs to do things against her will? He is telepath, I have some skill in that area. As I said, my job has become to keep him out of the path of law until what ever hunt he is on is complete." Sharpfang said, trying not to sound totally off base. Gods, she will not let it be "And how exactly did you end up in that less than enviable position?" "As a member of the Gung Ho Guns." Sharpfang said, trying to keep a straight face. "Not my fault I actually know something about human law." "You know you have made some pretty bad enemies. Anar is one of them." Tige pointed out. I know "Where did that come from?" "Its called thought speak, I can let only you hear me. But you can not talk back." "Ok, where did you learn." Tige began, Sharpfang smiled evilly, "never mind, I think I know where you learned it."
Sharpfang about fell over laughing the next day. She saw the school "security" that they had just hired. A rather pathetic looking car with the word Security written across the side and two Jesus fish on the back was the net effort of their attempt to add security. She was wondering if she could convince Legato to have the Gung Ho Guns act as security, if only for the effect it would have on the school in general.
