Chapter 2: Introduction

Where a man tries to reason with the light and only manages to fall down the stairs…

It's been half an hour since we were introduced to our redheaded friend. And when I use that term I use it very lightly. Since she's arrived, all she's done is glare and ask about her friends. She must be a very caring person...but this is getting quite annoying.

Presently Akemi and I are walking Kao-ri through the halls to where we had the others waiting. The other teachers had to get back to their classes, hopefully distracting the boys for now. I mean...it won't be long until one of them notices the humans' scent coming from the Starry Tower.

"Nik!!! Kyo!!!" I watched Kao-ri run to her friends and gave them a peace sign, assuring them that she was fine.

"—Ahem...excuse me guys...err...girls...but, I'm sorry can you tell me your names again?" I asked. I've been teaching at this school...for 72 years...and I've never really dealt with girls...so pardon me if I act a little sheepishly.

"I'm Kyo, this is Nik-chan, that's Kao-chan, that's Shura-san, that's Loretta-san, that's Xy-san, and that's Naoko-san, geez...how old are you?! I mean we just told you our names like what 45 minutes ago?" The white and black haired girl stated rolling her eyes.

"Hey...don't be so mean to him...he's a lot older than you think!" Thanks Emi...that helped a lot.

The some of the girls gave small giggles, others gave small glowers, and some just stayed silent. "Oops! Ehehe...gomen nasai...I didn't mean it that wa--"

"It's ok Akemi...just..." I blinked. 'Kyo' was now waving her hand in my face, trying to get my attention. "Hai Kyo-san?" I asked hesitantly.

"Ano...there was a boy staring at us through the window..." I looked to where Kyo was pointing...but no one was there...wait.

Ugh...he's gonna get himself killed somehow this year...if not by Hiwatari and the other boys...than by his stupidity. I grumbled something to myself and walked to the window grabbing the intruder by the collar of his shirt.

"Takao..." I growled dangerously. My dragon-winged, no-brain, little brother grinned sheepishly and waved to everyone in the room.

"Hehe...hey bro...what's with all the human girls...and that human guy?" Oh shit. Takao pointed his finger at none other than Kyo, the mood-swinger herself. I swiftly dropped Takao, a smirk appearing on my face. Perhaps I won't have to punish my brother after all.

I could see Kao-ri and Nik grin and start to chuckle lightly as they watched their friend walk up to my brother. "YOU JERK!!!!!"

"Hey...you're not a gu--"

SLAP!!!

"OWWWWWWW!!!!!! ONII-SAN SHE HIT ME!!!!"

I sighed; Takao always was the joker...Kyo's slap probably didn't even hurt him much. He normally doesn't humor humans though...strange. "Takao...get out of here..." I said in a deadly tone.

He turned to run down the steps but a hand grabbed his collar to stop him. "Takao...do not tell the other boys about these humans being here...understand?" I take back every bad thing I thought about Akemi. She's a genius. Then again...that'll probably just stop Takao from telling the whole school. He gave a swift nod, then a cheeky grin. "Whatever you say 'Kemi-sensei," He then...probably surprised some of the girls, and jumped out the window by the staircase and flew away.

"You weren't kidding when you said this place was paranormal...were you..." Naoko said staring out the window at my brother's retreating form.

"Of course we weren't...but anyways I guess we'll split you girls up...and have some of the guys show you around ne?" Akemi said looking around at the seven girls.

"Mou, Emi-san...I believe that it'd be better for them to just be put into one house along with a few of the boys to show them around," I suggested. I can remember what it was like being the new kid, and being alone, away from my friends.

"But which house?" Akemi looked out the window staring at the small castles set aside as dorms "hey how about your brother's house! You know he has some of the nicest guys in his castle dorm...they're pretty cute too," Emi winked at the girls.

"Hell no!!!" cried Kyo. I don't blame her for not wanting to be near my brother after that gender issue. But there was something odd about the way Takao acted before. Feh what am I saying it's probably just his rampaging hormones. The girls from the East Side School that transferred here last year weren't all that pretty.

"Oh come on Kyoko-san...Yoshino-sensei did say that most of the guys were nice...and cute there...you'll probably hardly ever see that guy," The blunette known as Loretta stated.

Kyo grumbled something incoherent then managed to mutter an audible 'Fine'. Some of the girls giggled and smiled, probably thinking about the guys in Takao's house. Hah...are they in for a surprise.

Suddenly there was a loud crash and three boys fell from the doorway into the room. Wait, let me be more specific. Two boys...and a moron with no-brain. "Ow Max, you dumbass, you gave away our hiding spot..."

"ME!?! YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STEPPED ON REI'S PONYTAIL!!!" yelled the blonde.

"WILL YOU BOTH STOP YELLING IT'S ANNOYING!!!" yelled a peeved Tiger demon.

"You idiots..." came a smooth voice from the door. None other than the ice prince himself appeared in the doorway, followed by the other four boys in Takao's castle. Takao, Rei, Max, Kai, Tala, Bryan, Brooklyn, and Enrique, that's who I have to put up with at night, along with Tseke-san's group of guys as well. Lucky...stupid women get their own little castle...while us guys have to room with the idiots.

I watched as Tala scanned the room, finally setting his gaze on the seven girls. "Humans? I didn't know you liked us enough to get us whores, sensei..." Tala gave a smirk as I felt the blood drain from my face. Damn I hate that kid, but...knowing those girls' tempers...he'll probably be burned by their fury.

"Oh yeah...I meant to say...whores for us...and a meal for Brook," Tala let out a cold laugh as some of the girls flinched. I noticed Brook gave him a fierce glare, but shook off the anger quickly and managed a fanged smirk at the girls.

"These are the 'nice guys' Yoshino-sensei? Geez and I thought you said they were cute..." The red-eyed girl, Shura, spoke this time. Tala frowned at this comment.

"You little bit--"

"Ok boys that's enough...I want you and the girls to play nice now...I have--we have classes to teach...you eight are excused from your work today...as long as you show the girls around and let them get used to this place..." Emi said while dragging me to the door.

"WOMAN!!!" yelled the all too familiar voice of a certain spiky haired teacher "We're teaching a Spell Casting Class and Defense Class together now...so quit fooling around!" Johnny grabbed Akemi's wrist and dragged her towards the stairs. Unfortunately he pulled a little too hard. Which resulted in all three of us falling down the staircase.

"JOHNNY!!! GET OFF OF ME!!!"

"AS SOON AS BLUE HERE GETS OFF OF ME!!!"

"What are you both talking about? I'm standing right here..." I said nonchalantly, grinning at their tousled state. They both looked at me with an expression of pure rage on the faces.

"OH SHUT UP HITOSHI!!!!!!"
