A New Overlord

The second chapter of this fan fiction. I'm trying to make this one that much longer than the first chapter. The first chapter was just an introduction of sorts. But that's besides the point. Now, enjoy chaper 2 of Disgaea: A New Overlord.

Chapter 2: The Encounter

"A mana power indicator?" Miroku said with a laugh. "You actually think that this thing works? Chiaki, you're the only person I know who can be tricked into buying anything."

"It does work! I know it does! Just watch."

Chiaki grabbed Miroku's arm and placed the compass on his wrist and secured the strap. The needle inside the indicator made a full circle and stopped in the place where it started from.

"You sure showed me, Chiaki. I completely believe in your indicator now." Miroku said, rolling his eyes.

"Stop making fun of me! I don't know what happened." Chiaki said, inspecting the indicator closely. "It should have given you an accurate reading of your mana power."

"Chiaki, just face facts. The owner of the occult shop sold you a piece of junk. If you want, I'll go with you after school to get your money back."

Miroku's eyes widened in shock. He quickly pulled up his sleeve and looked at his watch. His eyes opened even wider (which seemed impossible) as he noticed the time.

"My first class started twenty minutes ago! I can't believe I took so long!" Miroku started running down the street when he yelled back to Chiaki. "Meet me after school, I'll go with you to the store!" And with that, Miroku was gone.

Chiaki watched as Miroku slowly disappeared from view. She seemed more concerned with why the indicator was acting strange. She didn't actually give it a test run but she would have figured that it would have done something other than make a full circle. Chiaki headed on her way to school, somewhat oblivious as to what was going on around her. Her eyes were fixated on the indicator, looking up only to check the crosswalk lights. Her trip to school seemed much quicker to her because when she finally drew her eyes away from the indicator, she was already standing in front of the main gates to her school. She placed the indicator in her school bag and headed into the building. Upon her entrance, she saw Miroku getting chewed out by the school patrol monitor. She knew the patrol monitor had a crush on her so she decided to give Miroku a break.

"So you have no late pass, no excuse for being late, and you don't have your program card on you? You're looking at serious trouble Mr. Megami." Snapped the hall monitor.

"I didn't acknowledge the time. I didn't think I would be this late. Can't you just gimme a break this once, Kaname?"

"That's Monitor Kaname to you! You shouldn't be asking me for favors. My duty comes above all else."

"Kaname, what's going on?" Chiaki asked innocently. Now Chiaki didn't really mind the fact that she was leading someone on in order to help out a friend. She was bothered by the fact that it was a female that she had to hit on.

"Oh, Ms. Hyafumi! You're looking good today. Not as opposed to any other day, of course." Kaname said, her brain slowly turning to pudding at the sheer sight of Chiaki. "I was just reprimanding a delinquent. Nothing big."

"I come in to school late and now I'm a delinquent? How did that happen?" Miroku inquired.

"Quiet Mr. Megami! No one gave you permission to speak. Can't you see that I'm busy talking to Ms. Hyafumi?"

"Ease up on him Kaname. He didn't intend to come into school late. I'm certain that he's sorry for his mistake and would just like to get on his way to class. Can't you let him go just this one time….for me?" Chiaki stared into Kaname's eyes, hoping for the reaction that she was waiting to receive.

"I-I guess I could do it this one time for you Ms. Hyafumi." Kaname became clay in Chiaki's hands. She couldn't think straight when Chiaki was staring at her like that.

"So can I go now?" Miroku asked.

Denise waved Miroku off without even looking at him. Miroku headed down the hall as he mouthed the words "I owe you one" to Chiaki who was still dealing with Kaname. Kaname was trying to coerce Chiaki into a date as Miroku sped off down the hall.

"Ms. Hyafumi, you're really cute when you're asking for a favor. I'd really like to spend some time with you."

"Kaname, I don't think I can. I might be busy." Chiaki proclaimed uncomfortably.

"But Ms. Hyafumi, I haven't even given you a day yet. So how can you know if you're busy or not."

"I'm gonna be busy all week-month! I meant that I'm gonna be busy all month. I have a lot of work to do. You know me, busy, busy, busy." Chiaki said earnestly

"Oh come on Ms. Hyafumi. Just one time. Please? I'll be real nice." Kaname pleaded as she ran a hand down Chiaki's arm.

"Umm, I don't think that I'm really comfortable with you touching me. Besides, Kaname, I just don't have the time. Maybe next month or something." Chiaki pulled away from Kaname's hand and rushed down the hall and up the secondary stair case.

Kaname stood there watching Chiaki run down the hall before disappearing in the stairwell. She smiled and thought quietly to herself.

"I'm getting closer. It's just a matter of time before she says yes. I'm willing to wait." Kaname smiled and walked down the hall, whistling happily to herself.

Chiaki was out of breath by the time she reached the stairwell. The hallway was long and she was running at top speed. She came to a stop at the top of the stairs in order to catch her breath. She slid down the wall until she was sitting on the floor. Her classes didn't start for a while but she always came in early to have some time to relax before class started. The school was quieter than normal and Chiaki took notice to it. She looked around to see if there were any other students walking about. She didn't think much of it and continued to rest until she saw something strange out of the corner of her eye. It was the same shadow that she saw that day when she was walking to school. She was determined to find out if her suspicions were true. She stood up and raced down the stairwell and headed towards the basement. The shadow managed to stay ahead of her. Chiaki chased with everything she had in her when she finally caught up with the owner of the strange shadow, trapped in the dead end of the basement.

"Oh no. I really messed up this time dood!"

And that's the end of chapter 2. I hope this one is a little better than the first chapter. I just sometimes can't think of anything to write but I'm doing my best. For those of you who read this, please review and give me some ideas on how to improve or what you would like to see in the coming chapters. Now I think I'm gonna take a break. I'm kinda sleepy.
