The Master and The Apprentice

By Ruzovy aka Kitty-Kris

Chapter 5: This girl needs some spanking!

Quiet in the car… Nothing but good ol' Alter Bridge on my MP3 player… Despite my still sore ego, -stupid banshee- everything would be- pleasant even… Of course… he had to ruin it. "I'm in love!"

I rolled my eyes and rose the volume "I heard you the first ten thousand times Kevin, now shut up!"

A girl sitting in the backseat peeked between us and blinked at him "What's up with him?" she poked his side "Hey Kev?"

"Don't touch him Rayne, he'll think it's her and- well just don't touch him… at least not until he's sober again…" she shrugged and sat back. I looked over at her through the rearview mirror. Rayne was our younger sister. An- odd girl to say the least… Unlike the two of us her hair was raven black, her bangs gray and her eyes crimson as ours though. "Hum… are we there yet?"

I rolled my eyes "No… And don't start that. I've had enough of that kind of cr- things because of a certain- banshee…"

Kevin sighed dramatically "Melly… She's so pretty… and she sings like an angel… I'm in lo-"

"KEVIN SHUT UP!" we both yelled in unison to which he grumbled and turned his face to the window. Man sometimes he can be such a brat! Guess he and Melody would work out fine aftera- No, they wouldn't! He's not good enough! She's too smart for him and way out of his league! She needs someone more like… "Kai?" Yeah Kai's a good guy… Wait a second… "Hey Kai, a train's coming…"

"WHAT?" I quickly stopped the car and watched as- nothing happened… "Rayne Hiwatari…"

"Hum?" I could tell she was smirking… Oh you little- GRR! This is the last time I'm picking her up from college! She can walk for all I care from now on! "Go on, I can see our house from here!" she said sweetly. Why do women like to torment me?

I grumbled along with Kevin and in no time we were in front of our parents' place. Big as always… I still don't get why they needed such a big house. It's practically a mansion for Cripe's sake! "Home sweet home…" Rayne sighed and got out of the car, walking towards the front door. Kevin just drawled along behind her, looking up at the roof. Idiot… "Hey Kai! You coming? Mom wanted to see you…"

"Right…" Mommy! Herm, I mean huh… Oh so I like my mother sue me! You'd like her too… She's so nice… Actually she's so nice and goody-goody it annoys me sometimes… but she makes the best orange cake in the world so I guess I can let that pass… Hum, wonder if she cooked any today…

I stepped into the house after my siblings and nodded at our- butler… My parents have a butler, a cook, and a lot of maids and what do I get? Nothing… I should borrow one of the maids to clean up my house every week or something… Or every month… every week sounds a little too much… "KAI LOOK OUT FOR THE-"

"OW!" MY HEAD! STUPID PILLAR! "Told you so… how about watching where you're going for once?"

"Shut up Rayne! Ow…" I rubbed my forehead and wobbled a bit towards the kitchen "Marcia, I'll need an ice pack…"

The said maid sighed and gave it to me "Mistress told me to have it ready for you Master Kai. She said she was sure you'd need it." I blinked. Ok, so I bash into the stupid thing everytime I come here but- Actually why do I always do that? I should know by now there's a stupid marble cylinder in the middle of the stupid entrance hall. Which is an architectural stupidness if you ask me but what the Hell… "Thanks… where is she? I need to talk to her… and huh, Kevin needs to sit down and- that tea that Mother always uses for- hangovers…" Kevin's hangovers that is…

She chuckled "Certainly… Your mother is upstairs in her room. Waiting for you I believe."

"Thanks…" I mumbled and left the kitchen, ice pack in my forehead, father, brother and sister laughing at me from their couches. Guess there was a baseball match on TV or something… "Hello father…" I grumbled as I went up the stairs, taking a turn in the end of the corridor and knocking on the third door "Mother?"

"Come in…" I smiled at the mere sound of her voice. Damn woman… I opened the door and peeked in. There she was, sitting by her window with the- stupid cat… -I hate that stupid cat- on her lap "Hello…"

She looked up and smiled "Kai… take a seat, how've you been?"

"Not too bad…" I bent down and kissed her before taking the seat in front of hers, the stupid cat eyeing me warily all along "Grandfather is still hoping I mess up something at school apparently. But the kids are getting better so, I guess I'll earn my position at that college in the end…"

She nodded "I'm sure you will. Don't mind your Grandfather, you know he always said you'd get nowhere. And he hates being contradicted."

Does he ever… "Kai, something's bothering you."

"Huh?" I looked into her eyes, blue but- icy blue… Lighter than- hers… and why do I keep thinking about her! "What do you mean? Nothing's bothering me…"

"I can tell. By the sound of your voice. You're worried about something."

Damn her… "Nothing's bothering me mother, don't worry about me…"

She frowned "Don't lie to me Kai Daemon Hiwatari!" Uh-oh… She's using my full name… "I might be blind, but I am not stupid!"

"I didn't say that…" I looked away. Damn her… I might be bigger than her and fully grown and all that crap, but she still intimidates me… DAMN! "Look, I'm ok, nothing's bothering me, I'm fine, don't worry… Now huh, how are you?"

She snorted "Fine as can be… Now tell me…" she smirked "Or no cake for you…" WHAT! "That's blackmail!"

"Too bad…"

Oh great! Now what? I can't just go and say 'Oh fine! I'm attracted to a fourteen year old girl who happens to be my student and apparently hardly even knows I exist. Kevin has a crush on her by the way.' she'd think I finally lost it! "Huh… I'm huh… having- problems with- one of my students… no big deal…" atta boy! "She huh- is kind of a- prodigy student so- well tends to be a little too arrogant and-"

"The truth if you please…" Damn her. "Kai, I'm your mother, you can tell me anything that bothers you, I won't judge you and whatever it is will not leave this room. So Kai- ?"

"Fine… I- well huh… I don't know how to say this… I'm not even sure about it and it- seems ridiculous to me… I actually have an appointment at a psychiatrist because of this…"

"Get to the point and leave the lectures to your students…"

"I er… I think my feelings towards her aren't the ones a teacher should have towards a student…"

She rose an eyebrow "Oh? So you're- in love with her? What about her?"

"I'm not in love with her! She's- she's just a kid and my student and I'm grossed out by the idea but- I can't help it… I'm- attracted to her… And I don't want to be…"

"What about her?" she repeated

I sighed "She- well… huh… I- er, we er… Well… some time ago we- had a bet… and she won… making me her slave for the whole day and huh… well in the end she asked me to- kiss her…"

She grinned "Well that's good no?" GOOD? HELLO? SHE'S A MINOR! "Mother… it really isn't good at all because… she's my student! I could get in trouble! Besides I- for some stupid reason had to go and ask her why she did it. And she said she felt like it. And that was that."

"Aww… Poor you… Don't worry… I'm sure in time you two will-"

"Mother… do I have to remind you that one, she's my student and two, I'm not really happy about this?" I frowned "Do you want me fired or- or arrested? Do you have any idea of what could happen if anyone knows about this or- or the fact that I-"

"Calm down!" she chuckled and slid from the chair to her knees, her hands covering my own "I told you that nothing you say will leave this room, you can trust me. And well… if you feel you need to see a doctor… well- go. But I think that if this- girl caught your attention, -specially considering her age and all- there has to be something- special about her… But it's your decision."

I sighed and stroked her cheek "Kevin's got a crush on her… He's following her night and day. It's getting annoying. Both his stupid stalking and her whining for him to stop and leave her alone." I mumbled.

She blinked "What? Kevin? He normally waits for the women to go to him… I never recall him- stalking anyone… he doesn't need to… My…" she smirked "You have to bring her here! I want to meet her!"

WHAT? NO! Me and my big mouth! "I can't do that! I can't just go and- ask her to come here! What will she think? What will everyone think?"

"Well, tell her and that 'everyone' of yours I asked you to do it!" she smiled as she stood up.

"But-"

"No buts! Tomorrow is Saturday, right? So if she has nothing to do, you can bring her here! Now let's go and get you some cake! I knew you were coming so I baked two of them…"

I stood and offered her my arm "Two? Thank you so much but I'm afraid I'm not that hungry…" but sure wish I was…

She giggled as she took it and walked towards the door "One's for you to take home sweetie…"

I LOVE THIS WOMAN! "If you bring her here tomorrow…" if only she wasn't addicted to blackmailing people all the time… But the cake… "FINE!"

(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)

"You want me to what?"

"Woo! He's introducing his family already?" Garland howled with laughter along with Minx, while Tala and the rest of the guys glared daggers at me. Typical lunch at Ned's

"Hey, I'm not the one who wants you to do anything… it's her!" YEAH!

"Your mother?" she rose an eyebrow at me "You- What's wrong with you?"

"Look, I promised her I'd take you there today! She- she made me…"

"How old are you? Five? For crying out loud! Not even I do all my Mom wants!"

Tala coughed, to which she glared at him "What? I have something on my throat!"

I chuckled "Look, she just- wants to meet you. She found interesting the fact that-" huh… hum… Oh! "-Kevin's actually chasing after someone instead of- having someone chasing after him…" fair enough…

She shrugged "Fine…"

Minx nudged me "Who's Kevin?"

"Hello!"

"Oh no…" Melody buried her head in her arms while I sighed and rubbed my eyes "Get lost…"

"Hello to you too sunshine…" he kissed my forehead loudly, laughing as he dodged my punch and looking around at the table, currently gaping at him. "Hi there! Friends of Kai-Pie? I'm Kevin, call me Kev…" he winked. "I hate you so much…" I spat.

"Love ya too… Now, on to what really matters… Melly-doll!" he sat next to her on the booth, passing his arm around her shoulders. Hello Kev? You have four huge guys glaring at you?

Melody slapped his hand and glared viciously at him "Call me that again and I'll-"

He smirked and ran a finger over her jaw line "You'll what, dolly?"

She clicked her teeth "Suicidal idiot-" she grabbed her tray and bashed it into his head, then pushing him out of the booth and getting out herself, wiping her pants and looking down at me "Before I do anything worse to your stupid brother, how about we go already?"

"Ow… you're leaving already?" he stood, rubbing his head and still ignoring the glares he was getting. Idiot… "Yes, I'm leaving. And you'll stay and…" she glanced at her friends, smirking "Get to know my friends over there… you'll like them for sure, they're really- nice…" she winked at him- Argh Kevin! He's actually drooling! "Su'ting…" he slurred, advancing on her. Alarm! "Let's go already…" I grabbed her arm and nodded at the others, already starting to circle poor poor Kevin-poo to get to know him… hehe… "Bye boys! Have fun!" she chuckled as we both left the diner and got into my car. "Ok, so where does your mother live? And with who?"

"On huh- this house just outside of town… My father and my younger sister live there too. Kevin and I have our rooms there but don't worry, both of us have our own apartments…" and thankfully, my dear Grandfather has his own house too…

Melody smiled "You have a younger sister? How old is she?"

"Rayne's huh… eighteen I think… I don't know if she's home at the moment…" I checked my watch "Hum, she'll be arriving by now I guess…"

"Sweet! Do you have anymore brothers or sisters?"

"Thankfully, no."

"Aww… Wish I had a younger brother or sister… so I wouldn't be so friggin' picked on all the time… I'm sick of being the youngest everywhere I go…" she mumbled.

"Trust me, younger brats are not something you should wish for…"

She yawned and leaned her head on her window "It's getting cold…"

"Like you said the other day… November…" I shifted in my seat as I remembered that day… that night to be more precise… What I wouldn't give to taste her again… DOUGH! SHRINK WANTED!

"Kai?"

"Hn…"

"How much longer?" she sneezed

"Almost there… Huh, you cold? I can turn up the heat…"

"No! People die asphyxiated all the time because of those things! I'll be fine…"

I rolled my eyes. Is she paranoid or what? "Ok…" I kept driving till we were pretty much out of town, putting up with her sneezing every ten seconds or so. My patience has it's limits, so after the twentieth sneeze I stopped the car and gave her my coat "Here, that way you won't be able to say you caught some pneumonia because of me. Now put it on…"

She blushed and did so, closing the coat tightly around her small form. It dwarfed her beyond belief… and- it made her so… cute? No… something else… Huh… "Melody can I kiss you?" I snapped my mouth shut a few seconds too late I'm afraid.

Her eyes widened comically "What?"

I shook my head "N- nothing… it's- nothing…" I quickly started the car again, sighing in relief as we arrived at my parent's home.

Before I could even unfasten my seatbelt, she blurted this out "I heard what you said… Don't think I didn't." Damn…

"Well, pretend I didn't say anything."

"Huhuh…" she sighed and got rid of her seatbelt and my coat "Whatever you say…" she gave me the coat and got out of the car, looking up at the house.

I rubbed my face, sighing heavily as I opened the door, almost bumping into- Melody? How did she- "Wha- ?"

Before I could actually say anything she pushed me back into the car and crawled into my lap, looking down at me predatorily as usual. Damn her… "So, what was it you wanted again?" she whispered. "Huh…" Hey wait a minute! I am the guy! I am the one who dominates! "Answer me!" Or I'm supposed to anyways…

"Get off!"

I grunted and sat up, clutching her arm before she fell off "Have you been drinking or something?"

"Hum… no… Why?" she blinked.

"You're acting like a total whore, that's why-" again I snapped my mouth shut too late.

"HOW DARE YOU YOU- !" she growled and lunged at my throat savagely. So much for civilized conversation…

"GET OFF ME!" I clutched both her wrists, trying to ignore the jolts of pure pleasure all her wiggling and struggling were sending up my spine. Eventually I felt my groin tighten and heard her gasping and freezing her movement instantly, blushing as the inevitable result of all her stupid wiggling happened. Not so comfortable anymore, are we?

She sat back quickly, her cheeks bright red and her eyelids half closed "Kai? What- what is-"

"Shut up." I grunted. "If my lap's not as comfortable as before it's your fault! There are things a guy just can't control you know?"

She blinked at me "What are you talking about? I didn't- do anything…" she shifted in my lap, uncomfortably looking away "Trust me, you did. Now get off!"

She pouted "Fine!"

Stupid wench giving me a freakin' hard on… I oughta rape her! "Kai? Is that you?"

We jumped our full heights and blinked at who had spoken. It was my mother… THANK YOU GOD! I cleared my throat "Huh, hi mother… I was about to head inside…"

"There's someone else with you… is it the girl?"

"Hum, yes…" I pushed Melody off me and stood beside her out of the car, approaching my mother "This is Melody… Melody, this is my mother… Sasha Hiwatari."

She blinked and bowed a little, blushing slightly "Huh, hello… Mrs. Hiwatari…"

My mother smiled warmly at her "Hello dear, nice to meet you… Now come inside you two, it's freezing out here… And I baked you a cake Kai…" CAKE!

I grinned and quickly got on her side, taking her arm and guiding her into the house "I know the way you silly boy…" she chuckled.

"Just to be safe…" I mumbled "Hum, is Rayne home?"

"Yep… Who's she?" I looked over at our front door. There she was indeed. And as rude as always… "Melody."

She gaped at her "Melody? That's the girl Kevin's been drooling and whining around about? I expected some- Pam Anderson or something and you bring some- skinny, little girl?"

Mother frowned at her "Rayne!"

Melody shifted uncomfortably "It's not like I want him to stalk me… I don't even like him…" she mumbled.

I sighed and pulled her along "Be nice for once Rayne… I don't get his tastes neither but that's his problem. Now, you and her try to get along while huh… I go help mom in the kitchen!" CAKE!

My mother laughed as we went in all together "Help me? You're just after the cake, aren't you you little-" she pinched my cheek… This couldn't get any worse…

"Don't worry, my Mom's louder… lucky you." Melody chuckled "Well go on and enjoy your cake or whatever… I'll huh, stay with Rayne I suppose… If it's ok with her…"

My sister shrugged "Sure kid… I guess…"

"Be nice! Now come on Kai…" CAKE!

I slid into the kitchen and took a seat at the central marble island counter, eyeing the golden cake hungrily. CAKE! I LOVE CAKE! I sound like a retarded brat… "Um… oh, I'll cut it mother…" I took the knife from her and took a slice while she took a seat next to me. "She sounds nice…"

CAKE! Yum! "Hum, Kevin said so too first time he heard her… and that was on the phone…"

"How was that?"

"Well he called me while the two of us were on my car –arguing I believe- and he started with his stupid speech and we started spiting insults at eachother as usual. Eventually he heard Melody laughing and wanted to know who she was. I told her to say she was my girlfriend to piss him off. Which it did. In the end he was begging to meet her."

Mother laughed heartedly "My God… then what?"

"Well, he became so obsessed, he spent the next week calling me all the time to know more about her. Of course, I told him nothing. So he eventually got hold of my phonebook and stole the page with her number on it. Next day, he finally saw her. And from then on, Melody's been having personal space issues." Hum… more cake…

She sighed "My God… Kevin is actually stalking someone… this is weird…" she paused "Is she- pretty?"

I choked on the cake, quickly pouring myself a glass of water and breathing deeply "What?"

"Is she pretty? She must be, if your brother's that interested in her… And you…" Me what now?

I swallowed "Huh… kinda… I guess… It's huh, kind of- hard to really say because she- well she's my student and- well she's only fourteen…"

Mother whipped her head in my direction "Fourteen? But I thought you said you were teaching Junior and Senior students…"

"I am. But she skipped all of them four years. And she's smarter than any of the other kids…"

She smirked "Oh… now I understand… You've always had a thing for smart girls…"

Again I choked on the cake "MOM!"

She laughed and gave me another glass of water "But still, I want to know. Considering how old she is, do you think she's-"

"She's- kinda nice to look at, ok? Kevin says she's gorgeous but he hasn't been mentally sane lately so I don't know…"

"I see…" she stood "Well, let's not keep her waiting anymore hum?"

But the cake… "You can take whatever remains of the cake with you Kai, now come on…" Alright! I smiled and went back into the living room alongside her. The girls seemed to be having a nice time… their voices seemed cheerful anyways… "Melody?"

She turned at my mother's voice and stood, scratching the back of her head pensively "Huh, yes?"

Mother smiled "Kai's done eating sugar and ruining his teeth," HEY! "so come on sweetie."

She stifled a laugh and followed us up the staircase after smiling back at Rayne, who smirked in turn. My sister is weird

(O)

"Do you want some tea dearies?"

I yawned from my spot –by the window as usual. It has a great view- and shook my head "No thanks…" Melody did the same shortly after "Huh, no thank you…" she blushed for the umpteenth time since she'd come into the house. It was actually very nice to look at but still… No need to be so shy, my mother won't bite… Hell, she's a vegan! And she actually yells at me for eating meat… "I- I'm sorry- to- ask Mrs.-"

"Call me Sasha…"

"Huh… O- ok… Hum, I'm- sorry to ask you this, Sasha… but- why did you want me to come here?"

She smiled "I wanted to know the girl my son apparently finds so- captivating…"

Melody blushed bright red and looked down at her hands "Huh… I- I really don't understand what he finds so interesting about me… though I- can't say I appreciate the fact that he's constantly stalking me…"

Mother sighed and slid from her chair, kneeling in front of her and reaching for her face "Huh- what are you- ?"

She smiled "I want to know how you look like. I- I had an accident a few years ago, and unfortunately it took my sight. So this is the only way I'm afraid…"

Melody gulped and jerked her head "I- I'm sorry… I-"

"It's alright… I won't- touch you if you don't want me to…" GOD that sounds wrong… And I'm being such a pig for even thinking about it…

Melody took her hand and placed it on her cheek "It's alright! I- I won't mind…" Hum… this is giving me ideas… Man, I'm being a total jerk… and this is actually a sweet scene… O- k… back to being a jerk. This sounds wrong.

Mother smiled as she felt every inch of Melody's face. I actually felt jealous… She'd never let me touch her… "Your skin's so smooth… And I can tell my son's got good taste… you're very pretty…" Smooth? Hum… yeah it is… And yes I do… Hey, aren't we supposed to be talking about Kevin?

"Huh… thank you…" she mumbled, her cheeks bright red again.

And to break this peaceful mushy scene, there he came, barging in and not knocking as usual… "MOM! MARCIA TOLD ME KAI BROUGHT- Melly!"

Melody gasped and scurried to her feet, thankfully being careful with my mother, who stood too, blinking in Kevin's direction "Kevin? How many times have I told you to knock?"

I sneered at him as he ignored her and practically glided to where Melody stood, glued against the wall "I knew I'd find you sooner or later… thankfully destiny made sure it was sooner…"

"Right… look huh… Kevin-"

"Call me Kev!"

"I will not call you Kev so you can quit bellyaching about it already!"

"Oh… can you call me Tiger then?" WHAT!

She gaped at him, causing him to smirk and- kiss her… apparently thrusting his tongue down her throat too… Can't say she'll like that "AAH! OW!" he flinched back, clutching his mouth. Told ya so… "Mah shongue!" he moaned in pain, suddenly winking at her "Ah didn't know ya lahed ish hardh… hehe… Ah can bide too if ya wanht… but noh thah hardh nesh shime, oway?" Come AGAIN?

She blinked at him and growled in frustration "LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE ALREADY YOU- ! YOU!"

He swallowed and smiled at her again "Hum… I'm sure Kai still wants some cake, so how about I drive you home instead, hmm?" Cake!

"No!"

I smirked "Go ahead… I'll go and have some cake…" this is my revenge for you being a whore first and then a 'poor innocent wittle virgin' when I was getting- 'interested' and only kissing me the other day because you felt like stepping over my feelings you insensitive bitch!

"KAI!"

"What? It's the same as driving with me! Except his conversation won't be as interesting and his hands won't be on the wheel all the time…"

"Kai Hiwatari!" my mother squealed. Oops… forgot she was here… hehe…

Melody puffed her cheeks and clutched Kevin's hand "Fine! I'll go and haunt you if he gets us killed for not having his hands on the wheel then!" and then she smiled at my mother, saying a sweet as Hell goodbye and left the room, dragging a really happy looking Kevin behind her. The guy looked as if he was in total- nirvana for crying out loud! But- why had it hurt? Seeing her- take his hand and leave with him instead of me… it had stung… and she never said a mere 'bye' to me neither… WHY ME!

"Hum, be careful you two!" Mother turned to me smiling "Well, how about that cake to cheer you up, hum?" Cake… yay…

(O)(O)(O)(O)(O)

I looked up at the tall white building in front of me. I had known I would have to come here eventually… Damnit…

I sighed and went in, taking the lift up to the fifth floor and reluctantly ringing the bell on the door with the golden C above it. "Here we go…" a young woman answered the door and invited me in "You have an appointment with Doctor Nadezhda now, right?"

"Hum, right…" I mumbled. I can't believe I'm doing this…

"You're- Kai Hiwatari then… Right… Good! The doctor's expecting you, please go through that door…"

I nodded and walked towards the said door, knocking on it lightly and opening it at the soft "Come in…"

I peeked in unsurely and walked in, closing the door behind me "Mr. Hiwatari?"

"Hum, yes…" I looked over to the doctor… it was a woman… Good… a man would probably raise an eyebrow at me and think I'm turning gay -WHICH I'M NOT!-. She'll probably think it's romantic or something… "Alright… please, sit down…" I did so and smiled unsurely as she finally rose her head to face me. It shook me to the core. She looked exactly like- like her! Same facial features, same body structure, same eye shape- God! She was a clone! Except for her eye color… Melody had sapphire blue eyes while hers were reddish brown… and her hair had a light lavender tone and was wavy instead of straight and purple like Melody's. If it hadn't been for her hair and eye color I could have sworn… "Is- something wrong?" Hell, she even sounds kinda like her! Why me? I sighed and shook my head "I'm- sorry I was just- thinking…"

She smiled "It's alright. Ok, so…" she started "You seemed pretty nervous and- somewhat eager for this… but you never told me what drove you to search for psychiatric help or why… so could you please enlighten me?"

I took a deep breath "I- Well I- I'm a teacher… at this- school…" that sounded smart… "I mean… Well, I'm supposed to be a college professor but- since a certain person thinks the university I want to teach at is no good, I was placed in a high school for a year of practice teaching- Junior and Senior students… to see how I handle myself, you see…"

She nodded "Who is that certain person? Anyone close, some long-time rival?"

"My- grandfather… But that doesn't really matter… I- I came here- because… because- there's this- student of mine… a girl… and I-" Oh God how I hate this! "I- I'm afraid the proximity we've been having from the start- friends in common and all huh… has overcome any animosity we both might have had when we- met and- well I… I- My feelings towards her aren't what I would call- appropriate anymore…"

Silence dawned upon us, while she just took notes on her pad. This is why I hate psychologists and the like. Who knows what they're writing? That is, if they are writing! They could be doodling for all we know! "So, you're saying…" she bit her lower lip "Mr. Hiwatari, are you sexually attracted to your student?"

WHY did she have to say it that way? It makes me feel like some- perverted psycho! "Huh… yes… that's why I'm here. I- want to stop this before I do something I regret…"

"I see… it was very responsible of you, most people don't even realize what's happening, and those who do, are too ashamed to search for help. This is very good…" Yay. I'm a good boy… She sighed and went on "So, is she in your Junior classes or-"

"Senior."

"Huhum… And- when did this start? When did you- realize you felt attracted to your student?"

This is going to be embarrassing… "Well I- huh… about a month ago I- started having these… dreams… with- her…"

"Erotic dreams?" Damn you don't say that… it makes me feel like some- wanker! "Hum, yes…" I mumbled.

"Can you describe me any of those dreams?" WHAT! "Huh, excuse me?"

She looked up from her notepad "Oh, I'm sorry. You don't have to answer anything you don't feel comfortable with, Mr. Hiwatari. But I'll tell you this, whatever you say will be helpful and will not leave these walls. Which are soundproof in case you were wondering. And that is a lamp, not a camera… As I said, just in case you were wondering… Since I get that question a lot…" she mumbled as she took more notes, while I looked up at the said lamp. A camera? She must get a lot of weird people…

I swallowed audibly "Hum, do you have any idea of what I could do to- well- stop having these dreams and- feeling this way towards her?"

"Not until I know more about you, her, your relationship in and out of school and what it was that captivated your attention apparently…"

"Oh…" Damn… that means I'll have to come here again… "So, huh… ask away?"

She chuckled "It's not like that, Mr. Hiwatari…"

I flinched "Hum, call me Kai please…" I hate my last name… "And huh, how is it then?"

"Well, we'll schedule more sessions, and I'll put you through different kinds of- let's say tests… So for now… I'll just ask you to try to figure out by yourself what it is you find so attractive about your student, make a list if you can."

"A list? I- I actually find it hard to find qualities on her! And I don't find her attractive, I'm- attracted to her! It's- different!"

She blinked at me "Well, if you're- attracted to her, there has to be something you like about her… Think hard. Besides, if you want to- solve anything about your- problem, you have to understand why you feel this way. Why she seems appealing. Understand?" Yes I understand! I'm not some retarded freak! "Yes…" I mumbled.

"Good…" she smiled and stood up, offering her hand. She was pretty tall actually… It took most of the resemblance she had with Melody. At least in my eyes. "I'll see you next week then… Talk to my secretary about the day and hour. Just make sure it's next week. It's not good to let too much time pass between sessions. Good day." I hate shrinks…

"Bye…" I shook her hand and left, stopping by her secretary to schedule the next 'session' for Monday afternoon… Now to get me a list on Melody's wonderful qualities… stupid shrink… I hate homework!

(O)

What I find attractive about my student:

- …

Two hours and nothing… Maybe I should go and call her or ask someone else or- something… I can't think of anything… I know! I'll go to Ned's! She's always there with those gorillas, and Garland is with them too probably… Away we go then!

I quickly took my coat and left the house, getting in the car and speeding all the way to Ned's, barging in like some superstar would and smiling at the table in the corner, where Garland was along with the four boys and- Kevin? "What are you doing here?"

He looked up at me, his eyes slightly glazed "Hiya Kai-Pie! Want some beer? My treat!"

I blinked. Kevin offering to pay me a beer? "He's drunk, isn't he?"

Garland nodded "Yep. After his tenth unsuccessful attempt at asking Melody out, he started asking her for pints of beer instead. And here's the result…" he signaled at my brother, who was now practically lying across the table, wailing about Melody apparently… What the fuck! "Kevin? Are you feeling alright?"

"I wan mah Melly-doll… Oh wook… dollies!" he reached over to a little girl that was playing around with some Barbie dolls in a play baby-car or however that thing's called. The kid didn't see him thankfully so we didn't get no whining. Good.

"Hum…" he looked at the two dolls in his hands, gesturing to the male one "Oh looky… you can be Kev…" he looked at the Barbie that for some reason had her hair in a light purple color. It was supposed to be a fairy I think… "Hum… you can be Melly…"

We all gaped at him, our eyes as big as saucers as he put the dolls in front of eachother and made a weird squeaky voice, the- Melly doll shaking as if it was speaking "Oh! Hi Kev! You're so hot!" Ok, this is scary…

He smirked and made the Kev doll shake, his voice deep and cocky as Hell "Heya Melly baby… Wanna go for a ride?"

"Oh, you're such a stud! I love you! Marry me!" the dolls bumped into eachother in what was supposed to be a- kiss I- guess… Christ, I'll need therapy after this… "Hehe… say my name my sugar sweet candy cane…"

"Kevin…" a voice as cold as ice, and corrosive as acid spoke from behind him, making us all take our as big-as-plates' eyes from Kevin and place them on the person who had spoken. Melody. And she looked ready to kill someone.

Kevin blinked "Hum? Does this thing actually talk?" he looked at the doll from every angle he could think of "Weird…" he looked at us and frowned, following our gazes and gaping at the girl behind him "Hum, hi sugar, candy cane… Wanna play?"

She sent him an icy cold glare and bashed her tray into his head repeatedly spitting curses at him, her cheeks bright red in embarrassment "YOU FUCKING DIMWIT! HOW DARE YOU! YOU GIVE THOSE DOLLS BACK RIGHT NOW AND GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE YOU- !"

Hum… I'm getting ideas here… I took a small notebook from my pocket and started scribbling quickly 'Looks very appealing when mad.' I thought a bit and added 'or upset in any way actually…' It's true… Whenever she's confronting me or anyone else for that matter or pouting or- beating someone to a pulp I- well it makes me wanna- ravish her… I don't know… Now, what else? Hum… "Huh, Kai? Aren't you gonna help him?"

"No. Whoever makes me watch some- low quality, disturbing puppet show of sorts deserves to die. So don't go easy on him Mel…" I smirked.

She huffed and kicked his shin, taking the dolls and handing them back to the little girl, who in turn smiled at her and kicked Kevin too, causing him to slide over the table again, his head buried in his arms "Whatever happened to my babe-magnet? I used to be chased by chicks… why do I have to chase after one now? And why did it have to be that one out of all other possibilities!" Man he's drunk… Kevin using such a big word without choking is- a rare sight… He sighed and rose his head to her "Pity me and bring me more beer you cruel woman…"

She rolled her eyes and sat down next to him, since it was the only free spot at the table. I'm sure she would have sat somewhere else if there was more room. SHE WOULD! "No more beer for you. Besides, my shift is over."

He grinned "So, you're free now?"

She stood "No, I have to go home and study. Your brother's fault, so don't even start." MY FAULT? How am I supposed to get her to be my slave for a day if I don't schedule tests? Hard tests! MUAHAHA- I mean huh- demanding tests… yeah! Demanding!

He smiled "Well, I can help you!" Say WHAT?

She rose an eyebrow at him "Really?"

He nodded, grinning cockily "I'm an expert at Math…"

I slapped my forehead "It's Physics…and no you're not…" That's right! I'm the black sheep in the family. Everyone else went for Hiwatari Corp. I went for a real job. I'm a man of science unlike the rest of them. Wait, I'm not the only black sheep no… Rayne also told Grandfather to fuck off… hehe… She wants to work for the FBI… Voltaire nearly had a heart attack when she said she was trying the Admission Exams for some- law stuff university or whatever it's called. It was almost as good as his expression when I said I wanted to be a teacher. I don't get his problem, he's a teacher too… Oh no, wait! He owns a private school… Right, how could I ever even think I'd be at his level? DIE!

Kevin shrugged "It's all the same. The point is, I could be your tutor!" Right…

She rolled her eyes "Let me see an easy one… Hum, what's the square root of- huh, 6561?"

His face faltered "Huh… wait! Don't tell me… I know that… hum…"

Melody smirked "You're wasting my time Einstein, so bye now…"

"Hey! What gives! I bet you don't know it neither!"

She sent him a fed-up look "81. Now piss off…"

He fumed "Think you're so smart do you? Well- what's the square root of- huh… 946?"

"Hum…" she bit her lower lip "30,76. Can I go now? Tala? Will you drive me?"

"Sure… bye folkaroos…" Tala promptly got up.

"Grr- HEY! How do I know you're right?"

"She is now shut up already you're giving me a headache…" Stupid girl… I can't believe she's actually capable of calculating that so fast… Curses… "And how do I know you are right?"

"Shut up. Jurgen, get busy…"

She smirked "Hehe, yes sir… And this time I'm planning your chores in advanced…"

Little- "I wouldn't do that if I were you…"

"Feh! As if you had a snowball's chance in Hell against my magnificent intellect…" she grinned "Bye guys!"

I grumbled and started writing furiously on the notebook. Not her qualities anymore, more like everything that annoyed me about her. It wasn't what the doctor had asked for, but it was all I could think of. So it would have to do.

She's annoying because she:

- Thinks she's all that

- Defies me

- Enjoys defying me

- Infers she's smarter than me all the time

- Thinks she's superior to everyone

- Openly insults me

- Thinks she can get away with openly insulting me

- Challenges me all the time

- Enjoys challenging me

- … Always wins…

- I CAN'T STAND HER SQUEAKY VOICE!

- Is everywhere I go

- Everyone likes her but me

- Everyone gets infatuated by her eventually(hopefully not me… though apparently I'm already helplessly struggling in her clutches…)

- She's nothing but a spoiled brat who whines endlessly till she gets what she wants

- She always does get what she wants

- Can make sad puppy dog eyes that are capable of driving me positively INSANE!

And the number one reason: SHE WON'T GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

"What are you doing?" my brother peeked from behind my shoulder curiously.

I quickly closed the notebook and mumbled "Nothing…" I don't need anyone to know this… specially not him! "Fine Mr. Wetblanket… go on writing your Diary, I won't bug you anymore…" he laughed. "Now, I'm goin' home! Bye ladies!"

I sighed "I'll drive you home… Goodbye… And the four of you: Study… Or at least cheat decently…"

"You're a lousy teacher…"

"Well you're a lousy drunk."

He burped "Damn right I am! HAHAHA! Adios! I'll miss you lot!" I grumbled under my breath and dragged him out of the diner, pushing him into the car and driving off with my favorite song ruined by his pathetic attempts at singing. Damn him.

And damn her.

"One little sand castle, two little sand castles, three little sand castles, four little sand castles- Oh, a wave! One little sand castle, two little sand castles… lalala…"

No comment… Well at least I have a list for the shrink… And I am now officially another 'costumer' for her to exploit. Friggin' woman charges me like some- GAAH! 'Oh, we'll need a lot of many, many more sessions to be able to help you… So you'll have to keep coming here every week and pay me till my inspiration comes and I get you an effective and quick treatment. I'll charge extra once that happens by the way.' GRR! At least she was nice and didn't call the cops on me…

"Jingle bells, Melly's swell, Kai needs to get laid! Rayne's a cop, who's lost her badge and Kevin's had his way, HEY!"

Help…

R&R PLEASE! n-n
