Yes. I am finally updating this. Shaddup; I was just too lazy. Also, this chapter is from Genrou's (Tasuki's) POV and though I know he swears regularly, I didn't add too much in. I don't know if the administration people would approve of having swear words every five words, so I've limited it…somewhat. And also, due to the no answer reviews policy that I recently heard about and since I don't want to risk it and get my account deleted, I won't be answering reviews…unless someone tells me for sure that that rule has been taken off.
Enjoy the chapter!
When I woke up the next morning, I jumped out of bed, cursing. This sure as hell wasn't my room! Then I remembered what had happened the day before and sighed. This would take some getting used to, it seemed. Just as I was about to get back into bed and sleep, a voice came from this intercom thing next to my bed, "Don't even think about going back to bed, Mr. Kou; you and your friends are attending classes this morning"
I rolled my eyes and swore at the intercom before dressing, "I never fucking asked to come you old hag"
A knock sounded at my door and I could hear Ryuuen and Saihitei making a bet on how much I would swear when I opened the door for them. I scowled as best I could. I'll show them.
Do not swear. Do not swear. Do not swear.
I opened the door and Ryuuen grinned brightly – so fucking brightly – at me. How is it that he can look so damn happy in the morning?
"Good morning, Genrou!" he grinned.
"Go away" I grumbled.
"Nope; you heard what Taiitsu-kun said. Classes today"
"Like I care"
"You will if you hear the punishment for not going today"
"Which is?"
"You spend five hours staring at her face" Saihitei shuddered, "Well, that's my punishment anyways. Apparently, she makes separate punishments befitting all of us"
I couldn't help but snicker at his. So like Saihitei to feel that that was a punishment, but considering how ugly Taiitsu-kun was, I can't help but agree.
"So what would yours be?" I asked Ryuuen.
"Probably tie me to a chair so I sit still" Ryuuen said, "I know what yours will be; no alcohol whatsoever!"
"Will you stop talking so we can get to class?" Kishuku asked in annoyance when he walked by.
"Shut up"
Damn, that idiot annoys me to no end. Yeah, yeah, I know we're supposed to be this tight group of great friends that have known each other all our lives, but Kishuku annoys me. A lot. I don't even know why he annoys me.
"Yeah, let's go" Saihitei agreed, "Taiitsu-kun's gonna talk to us in the 'auditorium'"
I don't get it. It's like an entire building has been built in this one. It doesn't make any sense! I groaned as I tried to figure out how this worked but only gave myself a fucking headache. There was actually a real auditorium! With seats and everything. How do they fit that in here?
Whatever. I'll ask Dokun later.
We were instructed by Taiitsu-kun to sit according to what floor our rooms were on. We were on the fifth floor, so we ended up close to the front which was fine. Looking behind us, I saw that there were at least about seven more groups, and groaned. Imagine having to be on the last floor and climb up all those stairs.
Along with my friends and I, there were a lot of other people, but most of them didn't talk to us that much. Stupid fucking snobby people. One, however, did talk and I felt like strangling her until she stopped talking or died from lack of air. She kept talking about food too; and asking if we had food with her.
Yes, our town gets destroyed and we find out we're Cursed and of course, naturally, we put as much food as we can get into our fucking pockets so that we can save it for her. What a fuckingidiot.
She's so annoying.
One of the groups far behind us was wincing every fucking time she opened her mouth, which goes to show how loud she was too. One of the girls finally looked like she would lose it any second and concentrated for a few seconds. Then the annoying girl – known as Piggy for now – suddenly clutched at her throat. Her voice was gone. I couldn't help but grin like a maniac. The only one who looked upset was Kishuku. Was he fucking insane?
Before I could say anything though, Taiitsu-kun began to speak, "As you all know, you have been brought here due to the threat of the lives of the 'cursed'. The floor which you live on is classified by the color in which your names are printed on your door. The people who you share the floor with will be like your 'homeroom' and you will have almost all your classes with them. There are twelve homerooms in all. I'll list the colors of each floor in case you were the ones that were injured while being brought in. Third floor is Gold. Fourth floor is Green. Fifth floor is Red. Sixth floor is Blue. Seventh floor is White. Eighth floor is Yellow. Ninth floor is Black. Tenth floor is Brown. Eleventh floor is Gray and Twelfth floor is aqua blue"
Each time she said a different floor and color, a light of that color would shine on the people that belonged to that floor so we would know. I noticed that the one who had gotten the annoying girl to shut up was on the ninth floor. Should keep that in mind; I'll need to thank them one day.
Dokun's glaring at me. Must mean that I should be paying attention. Damn geniuses and their long attention spans.
"Also, you may have classes with different floors, so keep that in mind. Your homeroom teacher will be passing around schedules now"
To be honest, when the teachers appeared out of thin air, I was just about ready to scream. Not normal. Not normal. Not normal at all. As if I needed teachers that could do that; I'd get into even more trouble than I already do because this time, they can catch me!
Our teacher was a tall man with long dark hair and steely gray eyes. He looked more regal than a simple teacher, if you asked me, but then again, if he was teaching here, he must be one of the Cursed, which means he wasn't necessarily a teacher as an occupation. Damn, my mind is spinning again. Thinking is definitely not good for you.
"Welcome" he said in a voice that was quiet, but demanded everyone's attention. Hell, even that annoying girl shut up for once, "I understand that this is probably a drastic change, but it is necessary if you want to live. My name is Hakurou and I teach one of the 'special' classes, also known as fighting"
Fighting? They teach fighting here? Why didn't the old hag say so before? I could get used to these courses; maybe I can pretend to accidentally hurt Kishuku so I don't get into trouble.
He began to hand out our schedules, "I'll take you to where the classrooms are located; it's in an entirely different wing than where your rooms are" he explained. Shit; this is where I get confused. Seeing my confused expression, Hakurou chuckled, "Don't be confused. Taiitsu-kun designed these floors so that it is like a boarding school. One area has the classes. One has the dorms. She used her powers to do this so that the mansion doesn't look any bigger than it already is, even if it is"
"O…kay…"
Ryuuen laughed at my expression, "Confused already, Genrou?"
"Shaddup" I growled.
"You owe me twenty dollars" Saihitei said smoothly, "He last for more than ten minutes"
"Damn it" Ryuuen grumbled, handing over the money, "Why didn't you swear like you usually do when we wake you up?"
I smirked, "That's for me to know and you to wonder about"
"So we have all our classes together! I'm Miaka!" Piggy piped up. She must've been given her voice back. I groaned and sent a look at Saihitei and Ryuuen, who were sending similar looks back. Oh fuck. How were we supposed to put up with them!
I decided to look at my schedule now and saw that there were quite a few normal classes here. We had History first, with the Black group, then Math with the Blue group, Gym with the Green group, Science with the White Group and then English again with the Black group. The last classes were: Fighting, Powers, and Other. I wonder what Other was. We had the last three classes with the Black, Blue, Green and white group it seemed.
"Won't the last three classes be a bit full?" I asked aloud.
Hakurou grinned, "Well, it would, but only those in those groups that are around your age are going to be in that class. Other older or younger will be in another class"
He stopped in front of a couple of doors on his left, "This is where you'll go to eat. Call it the Dining Hall, or Cafeteria, if you will"
I could just hear Miaka's fucking drool hitting the damn floor. I shuddered. Why me? Whyyyy?
We continued on our way again until we reached a set of double doors, "This…is where your classes will take place. You'll notice that the rooms are numbered just like a normal school. Well, you'll be able to find your way around easy enough then, won't you?"
With that, he left, leaving us to find the classes ourselves. He called behind his shoulder, "Oh. And don't try to skip class unless you have a good excuse. Taiitsu-kun always seems to know and her punishments are harsh" he advised.
"Let's go then!" Dokun was bouncing up and down excitedly. I rolled my eyes, "Sure, whatever kid; what do we have first?"
"History"
"Great; just fucking great"
History was in room 304. Well then…let the fucking boredom and torture begin.
Oh yes…
I almost forgot. I am willing to accept original characters for this story, as long as they are REASONABLE. Meaning, they aren't completely invincible with their powers aka, as long as they don't seem utterly perfect and have everything and stuff. If you submit a character and it seems that way, I'll edit some things and stuff.
Keep in mind; I am looking for a character to be the one who stole Miaka's voice in this chapter. Yeah…
And any characters you give me will belong to the Black group, just to clear that up.
Oh yes…a Happy Birthday to FallenStar89! I'd put a smiley face here if the stupid editor thing on actually LET me.
