Chapter 21
"Suiichi, there you are. I was starting to think you'd be late for school."
"No, Kaasan. I'm waiting for Amber." He revealed. She doesn't know the way to the school. I have to show her the way.
A flash of the scarlet school uniform Amber wore dashed up to them. "Gomen. My tousan went into over protective mode again." She brushed back a lock of golden hair that shone in the morning sunlight. "Even Grandpa's being driven up the wall."
Kurama chuckled. "If he isn't careful, he'll feel why your grandfather is feared."
She laughed. "Yea, in the pocket book!" While she struggled to get her laughter under control, Kurama turned to his mother.
"I'll see you this afternoon, Kaasan."
They walked along the sidewalk towards school. "I should warn you, many of the girls in my class have crushes on me."
Amber laughed brightly. "So they'll be nasty? I've dealt with plenty of that before. Remember grade school in Nagasaki?" At his nod, she continued. "Besides, if they get me angry, they'll back off."
"Don't get angry enough to transform." he cautioned. "Most people don't know about what we are."
She appeared startled. "Good point. I think they'd suspend me if that happened."
They entered the building and walked right into the principal. "Gomen, Katsuhito-san." Kurama stated.
"There is no need to apologize. I ran into the both of you." He gazed at the teenage girl with him. "You are?" he prompted.
"I am Callista Amber." She gazed at him intently, sensing something odd about him. The energy radiating off of him had a tense feeling to it.
Katsuhito handed her the schedule he'd been about to run to the office. "Keep her with you, Suiichi. She's in your class." He walked away with swift, measured strides.
"Is he always so tense?" Amber queried as they walked to the classroom.
"Yes. I haven't an idea about why though." Kurama placed his hand on the door. "Good, Mari-san is here. She's our history teacher and keeps the other girls in line, mostly. Still, you should stay alert they swarm worse than bees." He opened the door then they stepped in.
True to form, the girls abandoned their desks and swarmed around him. They roughly pushed Amber out of the way, being fairly rough with her as they were only keeping their eyes on the prize.
"Girls, girls enough!" an exhasburated voice declared. "Sit down!" Mari-san herded them back to their seats. Irritated, she pushed back a strand of brown hair. "As some of you noticed," she glared at the ogling boys, "we have a new student who just transferred in from Kyoto." She guided the golden haired goddess forward.
"Ohayo." Amber bowed politely. "I am Callista Amber." She cast a swift glance to the teacher, who gave her a 'go on' gesture. "I'm looking forward to making friends here." She quickly took an available seat, which happened to be next to Kurama."
She studiously ignored the glowers the girls gave her and the hentai glances the boys delivered. Amber retrieved her notebook as the class was called to order.
"I'd like to welcome you back after spring break. We are currently going over the path of the samurai..."
The vixen silently took notes during the first three periods before lunch came. Amber uneasily poked her lunch with her chopsticks. She alerted, feeling a hostile presence. "What is it?" she queried, looking up.
"You had better get this into your golden head now. I've had dibbs on Suiichi ever since he enrolled here. He's mine." The girl hissed, moving to throw Amber's lunch all over her.
With the grace of a trained martial artist, she blocked the other girl's hand. "Look, Kara is it?" At the nod, she continued. "Who I decide to befriend is none of your concern." She rose to her feet, green eyes snapping angrily. "For your information, Suiichi and I have known eachother since before grade school. If you don't like that, deal with it."
Several of the girls behind Kara backed away. They were startled by the forcefulness this newcomer had shown.
"Well then, we'll see how you do in self-defense." Kara snarled, storming away.
She has no idea... Amber sat back down, calming before returning to her lunch.
