Thankies to reviewers!
Cloy: Normally I would put a lemon up, but I wanted this fic to be rather light-hearted. i'm glad you're enjoying it, however. maybe one day i'll post a lemon for you.
Vampyre Neko, Narratress: Thanks for reviewing!
Yoko-obssessor: Live in my own little word? Perhaps. Chibi Bladers? Not so much... it's actually half from joking around with my friends... either way, your review is appreciated.
bffimagine: I don't have any thoughts in this story, so it didn't really seem to matter at the time... thanks for the point, though.
Chapter 7:
Dancing On a Tight Rope
'…Czechoslovakia…?' Kevin smiled nervously.
Jini made a comical noise before jotting "K.K" underneath the detention bar. The jade-haired neko-jinn let his head fall to the surface of his desk, undoubtedly leaving a dint.
'I'm amazed,' the young teacher sighed, 'Out of 10 of you, 8 have detention…'
'Recount!' Tala shrieked, slamming his fist down on top of the text book he'd formally been drawing on.
'Grow up, Mr. Ivanov,' Jini didn't even look at the Russian.
A small hand was raised. Kevin, again.
'What is it, Mr. Ki?'
A pause.
'It's your time of the month, isn't it, miss?'
The males of the room, save Rei and Gary, all burst into hysterical laughter at this. Jini's face flushed, wether from embarrassment or anger, however, was the question.
'Shut up! All of you!'
Anger, apparently. 'No, Mr. Ki, for your information, it is not my "time of the month". The reason 8 of you have detention is your own fault! Mr. Hiwatari seems to see this lesson as the ideal place to catch up on sleep, Mr. Granger is constantly late, Mr. Tate has "better things to do" then his homework, Mr. Ivanov has the inability to keep his mouth shut-'
'I'm cut, watch me bleed…'
'Mr. Ki and Mr. Lee Yin have an attention disorder, Mr. Gary Yin seems to think that writing random numbers on pop-quizzes suffice for answers and-'
Rei raised a hand, delicately chewing on his lower lip. Jini paused. 'Yes, Mr. Kon?'
'They're his real answers, Miss.'
Everything went silent. The young brunette educator sent the burliest of the group a small smile, then turned and wiped his initials from the board.
'Apologies, Ga-'
'Fuck you're a dumb bitch, ain't you! You're meant to be bloody educating us and you can't even fucking get-' Beginning to rant loudly, Bryan got to his feet.
Jini spun on her heels, sending the eldest Russian a dangerous look.
'And YOU, Mr. Kutnezsov, have a foul mouth!'
Silence as the lavender-haired blader sat back down.
Jini Mizuhara sighed quietly. She was beginning to regret this contract…
'What do you mean "a substitute"?' The BBA center's main hall feel oddly silent, the group stopping the unholy act of stuffing their faces long enough to hear the revelation.
'Miss Mizuhara had some urgent family business to attend to.' Hiro was strangely calm, standing in front of the young bladers, arms folded in front of his chest.
'Family business my ass,' Bryan, never one to hold his tongue, spoke up through his toast, 'She just couldn't handle the pressure is my bet…'
Tala once again resumed in the drowning of his pancakes in ketchup, nodding vaguely at his lover's comment.
'Either way; Mrs. Piki-' sniggers sounded at the rather humorous name, 'Will be taking you from today. So behave.'
'Happy happy joy joy…' Lee stabbed an egg with his fork, shoving it unceremoniously into his mouth.
A majority of it ended up on his plain navy shirt.
'Can we get a bib over here…?' Kevin's shout went ignored.
'Now, go back to eating: you're to be ready to start by 9 o'clock.' With that, Hiro left.
'Kai, can you please pass the milk…?' Rei smiled sweetly at his captain beside him, taking the pitcher graciously.
Bryan smirked, not for the first time in his life, nudging Tala in the ribs and near causing his attractive young boyfriend to choke on the large amount of pancake+ketchup in his mouth. Somehow managing to swallow it, the Blitzkrieg Boy wiped his mouth with the sleeve of his white-skivvy.
'Got something in your eye, there, Ra-Ra?'
The neko-jinn faltered, glancing at Kai who seemed to have either not heard the comment, or ignored it. Going back to his food, Rei said nothing more.
'What do you think this new teacher will be like?' Tala spoke up again, taking Bryan's juice from his hand and sipping it.
The Eagle Blader's sour look was promptly kissed away.
'Hopefully they won't have a stick up her bum like Jini did…' Tyson swallowed before speaking.
It appeared there was a first time for everything…
Not much to comment on this one, aside from the fact that Tala's eating habits were amusing to write…
