Oh oh I dunno if I've ever addressed this but I just thought of it while writing the chapter. Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten are most definately GUYS in this story...so yea...anyway on with the chapter!
Life Is But a Game --- Chapter 4
Another day at Juuban High... (A/N: Skool sux!!!)
"Serena!!!" Melvin hurried after the blonde.
At the sound of Melvin's voice, Serena only walked faster trying to get away from the little nerd. She would have too, if only that pole didn't get in her way. "OUCH!" Serena rubbed the huge red spot on her forehead.
Melvin finally caught up to her, "Huff. Didn't you hear me calling?"
"Uh...no..." lied Serena. "What do you want?" She tried to edge away knowing Melvin was going to annoy her about Seiya.
"Well I did a lot of reseach on your Seiya." He paused for effect and to push his glasses up his nose. "And I have concluded..."
"Didn't we hear your conclusions at lunch yesterday? You know he has black hair and all that, I KNOW that already. Plus I asked him and he DOES go to school here and..."
"NO!!! Listen Serena that... that creep does not attend school here. Wait no, he does but that's ..."
"Melvin! Enough! You're not even making sense. I don't wanna hear about this anymore!!!" With that she angrily ran away, so angry that even the poles stayed away from her.
Melvin wanted to follow but class was starting soon. He couldn't be late for COMPUTERS! (Another A/N: the only thing about skool that doesn't suck!)
At lunch....
Melvin had told everyone about what he had found out. Now it was just a matter of making Serena believe him. He even had the newspaper clippings as proof. Amy, Molly, Melvin, and Mina sat tensed waiting for Serena to arrive.
How will we break it to her?? thought Molly.
Boy am I glad to not have met him but what a waste though. Mina sighed wistfully.
"Serena!" Amy was the first one to see Serena enter the cafeteria. She beckoned the blonde to their table.
Serena knew they wanted to talk to her about Seiya but there was no more room in the cafeteria and she was REALLY hungry. So she hurried over and started talking real fast hoping they would leave her alone so she could eat lunch peacefully, "Hey guys! I don't care what you say but Seiya is not a stalker, he DOES go to this school and he's a really nice guy and ..."
Melvin interrupted Serena's speech by shoving a newspaper article under her face. Serena's eyes widened and her jaws dropped.
Still at lunch but not in the caf...
Seiya wandered down the halls aimlessly like he always had...FOR THE PAST THIRTY YEARS! Everyone had forgotten about him already. The school had hushed up the whole thing, the administrators and teachers at that time had either retired, resigned, or died mysteriously.
Money grubbing greedy bastards! No investigation! No burial! No nothing!
In the end, Seiya had disappeared, his parents were suddenly very rich and moved to another country in a hurry and everyone was happy, except for Seiya and the other dead people of course. But then, he couldn't really blame them...who would dare to throw the all mighty and extremely rich Galaxia's kid in jail? And look at what happens when you rebel? At first he was tempted to haunt the stupid school and scare the wits out of everyone but he knew they would do an exorcism or something and he would have no chance. He was terribly bored and tired of the place but he knew he would find her...or at least someone like her. He needed to stay. He need to find her!
Ah...sweet little Serena...
Back at the lunch table...
"You can't possibly make me believe that he's a ghost!!!" Serena cried.
All of the others quickly jumped up to cover Serena's big mouth, "Shhh!" Amy warned, "Everyone's gonna think we're crazy."
"But you guys are crazy!" Serena cried.
"No Serena, I've checked. Thirty years ago a guy called Seiya Kou disappeared. No one knows what happened. And look at that picture! That's Seiya isn't it?" Melvin waved the newspaper clipping that he printed off infront of Serena's face.
"Maybe it's his brother??" Serena tried to reason.
"More like his son." Mina snickered.
"If Seiya did disappear why suddenly name his son after himself then send him into the same school? That does not make sense. And I doubt they would look exactly the same. I've seen that Seiya person, he looks exactly like the Seiya in that picture. Him being a ghost seems to be the only explanation..." Amy countered.
"Come on Amy!! Ghosts?? I didn't know you were crazy like them!!!" Serena wailed.
"You just don't want you new boyfriend to be a ghostie!" Mina was not helping.
"He's not my boyfriend and he's not a ghost!!!"
"There, there." Molly tried to calm her wailing friend. "What are we going to do?"
"What would he want from all this?" Amy was talking to herself.
"Maybe he did die! And now he wants someone to avenge his death!" Melvin answered.
"Hey! That's pretty good. Good work Melvin." Amy patted Melvin's big head.
As Amy and Melvin continued to find reasons why Seiya would want to haunt the school, Mina finally decided to say, "We could ask the girls at the temple! If he's a ghost, Rei would know what to do!"All those nights she went missing were spent at the temple learning to make charms and generally magicky stuff but they didn't have to know!
"But I heard the girl there is crazy! Her grandpa is a creep! And that other girl she hangs out with will knock all your teeth out!" Molly yelled, nervous over the idea of going to the temple.
"Oh please Rei isn't crazy, just a little tempermental and her grandpa just acts like a kid. And Lita won't knock your teeth out! Well unless you get her mad..." Mina replied before she could stop herself.
"How do you know all this?" Serena stopped wailing and put her face close to Mina's, "Is there something we should know?"
Mina tried to back away from the table full of inquiring faces, "Well, well, uh...I've been at the temple learning stuff..."
"What kinda 'stuff'?" Amy demanded.
"Well, you know...stuff! Love charms, sleeping potions, demon killing talismans...stuff!"
"So you're saying we can trust this Rei to get rid of Seiya?" Amy asked getting right to the point.
"Of course!"
"Serena you've got to go!!!" Molly started pulling on Serena's arm.
"No!!! Seiya's not a ghost!"
"That's not what my findings say!" Melvin was always defending his 'findings'.
"Nooooo!!!"
"You're just too scared!" Mina jeered.
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are! Chicken!!!"
"Fine! If I go will you guys leave me AND Seiya alone???" Serena yelled before Mina could imitate chicken noises.
Mina volunteered to go with Serena after school since she knew Rei. The other three all made excuses and ran off. The temple did seem emit an eerie aura. Serena and Mina hurried to the temple. Serena wanting to get it over with and Mina wanted to tryout her new demon killing skills. However, an uninvited guest was following the two unknowing blondes. He also heard every word said during their lunchtime conversation. Well actually half the school heard because they weren't being exactly quiet. But nevertheless he was the only one following them....or was he?
Who is this sinister fellow following them?
What would the temple ppls be like?
Ahhhhhh somebody stop me, I'm doing that asking question thingy again!
Love is a popsicle - It is a sticky mess made up for with a joke at the end.
