Chapter 6: Blood of the Covenant
Sitting across Kuon is a very familiar man he calls his godfather, wearing a huge and pleased smile, "I was not expecting that you will be appointed with a special post." resting his chin over his knuckles and crossing his legs, "It seems you pleased the golden child and you managed to get his approval. I will let you in to some valuable information. The young Mogami never trust anyone in regards to his precious sister's hand." Kuon already knew it after seeing some crazy students try to harass or take advantage at the Mogami princess.
"Now then, let get you fitted with a new uniform!" Takarada Lory said in glee as they return to the classic looking gentleman's boutique. The man managing the place welcomed them and nodded proudly at Kuon. The fancy looking man started to speak, "This type of uniform has been made for only two students." Kuon was aware, those two are closest with the youngest Mogami.
There was a uniform already made and fitting was quick, considering he had visited and managed to have his measurements recorded to the shop. Presently, Kuon is now having tea with his godfather, waiting for the adjusted uniform. "While we're still waiting, I'd like you to check on this." Lory handed a folder over the young actor. Kuon took the article and went through the files, "What do you think?" Lory asked even though he knows the young man's decision.
Kuon taking interest; nodded, "This reminds me of someone." He chuckled and Lory raised his eye-brow, "I'm confident I can pull it off." wearing a smug look.
The older man challenged, "Oh really? Well, I'll be expecting plenty of good things from you." Knowing how complex the character would be.
The young Hizuri taking the challenge, "Always." The president of the acting agency was pleased with such enthusiastic response, and didn't expected any less from his best friend's son. Kuon placed the items back in the folder and followed the tailor to one of the changing rooms.
Reappearing, Lory looked very proud as his godson donned the academy's blues uniform. The beret fitted his head well, his new uniform coat had more ornaments; having golden braids, shoulder pads with bronze insignias, and few more pins on his lapel and pocket.
The man responsible for his uniform handed him velvet boxes for his cufflinks, and before they left, "Congratulations." the tailor gave Kuon a nod.
Its weekday and Kuon was early, excited to show his new look to his childhood sweetheart. Waiting for Kyoko by her house's gate, he plastered a wide smile hearing Kyoko gasp, pursing her lips with a tint of blush, "Good morning!" Kuon greeted and topped it with a kiss on her cheek, making the pink blush redder.
Kyoko felt overwhelmed as usual from all his advances, she was used to be the one giving the affection, it was her previous experience with her first boyfriend, "Here, let me take that." And he took her bag and carried it for her. Kyoko didn't even protest knowing how stubborn her fiancé. "Where is Otsukinoji-san by the way?"
Kyoko sighed, "He often leaves earlier and probably dealing business in school already." Kuon wasn't even surprised. While taking their short walk, Kuon told Kyoko about his new project and who the character he will be playing is like, and the young lady was quite amused.
To Kyoko's amusement, "Good luck." Knowing her sibling's personality. Kuon pouted after the lady challenged him, "But since you're reporting to Otto-kun, you'll get to know him better~" She hummed.
Once they arrived in school, plenty of students were gawking at Kuon, and Kyoko didn't look happy about the attention he was getting, the young man was quick to notice and felt satisfied with his fiancée's reaction. To ease his fiancée's jealousy, he took her hand and linked it with his, giving kisses to all her knuckles. The female students erupted with screeches and shrieks seeing the couple's PDA.
Kyoko tried to hide her blush with a pout after he winked at her, as usual he dropped her off and went on his way, however he was called by another student with the same uniform as him except the badges were silver, the young man was a little bulkier and taller, however bubbly smile and soft eyes. Kuon noticed that the student was mute and always have a friend to translate for him.
They made a short walk to where Otsukinoji's office was and found it much fancier than Kyoko's," Thank you Bojji-san." Otsukinoji thanked and gestured for Kuon to sit across him.
Kuon thanked the younger Mogami and sat down, Otsukinoji then proceeds to hand the actor a manila folder with his assignment. Pleased he appreciated Kyoko's brother, next he was handed another box, this time it was a bronze pin for his dress shirt-collar, "Don't disappoint me." Was the younger man's grave warning.
Kuon swears that Otsukinoji's ocean blue eyes just glowed after giving him a warning. Swallowing hard he nervously nodded, "I promise I'll take care of your sister." Mogami Otsukinoji is not one to be messed with. The actor shortly learned that there were one more student that was assigned with similar post, one is his closest friend Yashiro to be Kyoko's personal secretary, handling schedules and few more personal matter that the High School Council President is responsible for.
During lunch, he spends it as usual with Kyoko and Yashiro in the council room, "We're leaving after this?" Kuon asked surprised.
Kyoko nodded, "Yes, and don't worry, we have the headmaster's permission. He's lending a service for us too." She informed. Their cultural festival is coming closer and the student council is in need of supplies for their own to be organized, Kyoko as the president will have to deal the same as her predecessor, lucky for Kyoko, her aide and secretary would be following and helping with all the procurement.
A Cadillac Escalade was waiting for them by the building entrance, and Kuon being the gentleman that he is opened the door for her and helped her to settle, "Thank you." Kyoko appreciated his help.
They made their way to the a busy district full of shops, they headed to the stationery shop first tp grab some basic supplies for decorations as well as materials for the guest judges they were inviting, but on their way to the department store to purchase the necessary textile they were stopped by a gang of thugs, one seemed very familiar which made Kyoko sigh.
Feeling the tense air, Kuon held Kyoko to his back and stood defensive. "Well, look who stumbled to our turf." The fake blonde smirked.
"Don't you have any class, Shotarou?" Kyoko snarled and the other guys by Fuwa laughed.
"Is this the little lady you told us about, Fuwa?" one asked, "And look, she has a new boyfriend! Want us to end him too?" Kuon growled and ready to pounce and fight keeping the filthy students away from his fiancée.
The biggest guy snorted, "Ain't she a cutie?" advancing to Kyoko, however a guy almost as tall blocked them. Wearing his academy blues and beret neatly with familiar golden pin, he slammed his forehead to the thug's causing it to bleed.
Kyoko and the elected female secretary gasped, "Otsukinoji-kun!" Kyoko's Academy's disciplinary members under her brother appeared surrounding the thugs and Fuwa. Kuon and Yashiro are still on guard and protecting their two female comapnions.
The younger man pushed the bigger student back only using his forehead and dignifiedly walk until the bigger guy tumbles back. Turning his head over to Fuwa, "Mess with a brother, and you deal with the tribe." Was his only words turning his back, "Onee-sama, have you bought all the things needed?" Kyoko shook her head.
"I need to get some cloth for the stage, as well as the tables." Kyoko told her brother.
He nodded, "I understand. I'll leave Bojji-san and the others with you. Hizuri-san... good work." The actor was surprised knowing he protected Kyoko poorly, "And see me once you get back in school." And there the younger Mogami left riding a white Wrangler Jeep with few of his own people.
Kuon and Yashiro wondered how their chief's forehead wasn't bruised or bleeding after that rough headbutt he made, Kyoko knew what Kuon was thinking, "He's built different." was her only comment.
"And there is a reason why no one tries to cross Mogami-sama in school." Yashiro commented making the other secretary nod.
Once they returned to school after their quick run to the stores, Kuon rushed to see his fiancé's brother with Bojji behind him, "You asked to see me, Chief?"
Acknowledging, Otsukinoji gestured for him to sit, "I read that you are familiar with self defense, however not as much as my standards wants for the protection of my sister." Kuon internally winced.
And thought, "How high is this guy's standards?"
"That is why I'll have Bojji-san be in charge of your training, I will have him arrange your academic schedule to insert Hakurou-sensei's classes. Rest assured that this will not disrupt your time with my sister after class or academic hours." That caused some awkward coughing from the other disciplinary students standing guard.
Bojji was biting his lips stopping from himself from giggling, Kuon on the other hand could not hide his blush, but nonetheless thanked his future-brother-in-law, "Thank you for being considerate." giving a respectful bow, not minding that the younger man is a few fold younger than him.
Otsukinoji in obvious amusement, "I'm surprised, you're not even hiding it."
Kuon confused, "Chief, by the way, why were you there earlier?"
Otsukinoji pulled out few of his paper works and started to check on them, "It was merely a coincidence, I went to see a good friend for a meeting."
"I see, and thank you for earlier." Kuon realized that he was outnumbered.
The younger man placed down his papers and have him a warm half smile, "You're part of our brotherhood now." pointing at his badge.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you liked it. Sorry it took long to update and I would rarely do updates.
