Chapter 24: Tutor me KURO!
Kuro grabbed Fira around the arm and raised her scythe. Above appeared Diablos from a swarm of bats then placed his hand out. The black sphere appeared around Kuro and Fira and it disappeared into thin air. Diablos flipped backwards into a swarm bats and disappeared again. Cloud and Avalon stared wide eyed at the event that just took place. They looked at eachother then back at the spot Fira and Kuro disappeared at.
" That was weird" Cloud said.
(Back at Garden)
They appeared right in the hallways towards the dorm rooms. Lots of other students stared in amazement as they all appeared.
" Whoa we're back at the Garden" Fira said.
" Yea we're back here, now come on back to my room we have to study for next week's magic test" Kuro said walking towards the dorm rooms.
" What why?" Fira said.
Kuro ducked her head low and her eyes became fireballs she slowly turned around with the kinkling sound of bones. "WHAT DID YOU SAY!" She stomped over and looked up at him.
" Why do we have to study?" Fira said staring down at her with a blank expression.
" ERRRR because your failing Ms.Lulu's BM class and the more you fail the lower my grade becomes" Kuro said getting angry then calming down. " Listen Fira I'm gonna need you to really focus, on behalf of the entire class"
" Okay I guess" Fira said crossing his arms to his chest.
" Alright now let's get started… let's go to my room and study up on this stuff" Kuro said. They first swung by Fira's room to get the books that Vivi lent to her then went back to Kuro's room. They walked into the dorm space that seperated Kuro's room from Kiako's. Kiako's door was wide open and Saiyuki was playing loud on a radio.
" Turn that crap off!" Kuro shouted opening her door. Fira and Kuro walked in leaving the door open then they both sat Kuro's desk. Kuro sat down and opened up the book.
"Let's start with the basics" Kuro said pulling out a ruler.
"What's that for?" Fira asked.
" Whenever you get something wrong I'm gonna whack you on the forehead like so" Kuro said slapping his forehead with the ruler.
"Ow!" Fira said holding his forehead.
" It'll persuade you to learn" Kuro said.
" Damn it" Fira said still rubbing his forehead.
" Okay now like I was saying the basics, tell me what is MP?" Kuro stood up and started to pace back and forth with the ruler tapping it up and down on her palm.
" Uh MP is uh…. Hmmm Magic Power" Fira said.
" Good, what do we use it for?" Kuro asked.
" Uh… for making banana splits" Fira said stupidly.
WHACK!
"Ow" Fira flinched as Kuro beat him over the head.
" Wrong we use magic power as a vessel to transfer our thoughts and spiritual spells into reality… its what makes a fire spell hot and a blizzard spell cold" Kuro spoke the answer clearly and fluidly like a teacher as she paced back and forth.
" Hmmm uh… got it" Fira said rubbing the back of his neck.
" Now… repeat what I just told you" Kuro said.
"Alright uh…. Hmmm magic power is a spiral vessel to transfer our thoughts into fudge then its what makes chocolate chocolaty and rubber bands stretchy" Fira said with a smile.
WHACK!
"YOW!" Fira said holding behind his head.
" Your such a bonehead!" Kuro said strangling him. "Err let's move to something else"
"Uh yea" Fira said with swirly ears after being strangled.
"What's the five basic elements in magic" Kuro asked.
"Ugh… Fire….uhhhh Water….. uuhhh Grass…pencils…AND THE KEYBLADE!" Fira said holding up the kingdom key.
WHACK!1
"EEEK!" Fira said rubbing behind his neck he was starting to get somewhat of a sore.
" Fira are you even trying?" Kuro asked massaging her temples.
" Yea I really am" Fira said with squinted Chichiri, Naruto like eyes.
" It's Fire, Water, Ice, Lightening and…" Before Kuro could finish she noticed that Fira was wearing some trick glasses with eye balls on them to make it seem as though he was wide awake when he was really sleeping.
WHACK!
Kuro and Fira stayed up past midnight. Kuro running drills and giving Fira teachings. Fira just barely keeping up but at the same time he was learning alittle.
Kiako was lying down in bed tossing and turning with her hands over her ears. " Geez… I can't I get any sleep?"
(The next morning)
Fira was found in Kuro's room sleeping with his head down on her desk. He jumped up really fast with the sun shining to his face.
"Damn did I just sleep in this girl's room? Geez" He rubbed his eye and stood up then started towards the door. In the small intersection between every student's rooms was a small stove and a fridge. Fira walked out of the room and Kiako spotted him. Her eyes grew wide…
" Huh?" They looked at eachother. Then Kiako's face grew blue with dirty thoughts in her head. " Ugh Fira san" Kiako said slipping over really slowly and stiff.
" uh what?" He yawned.
" Did you sleep in there?" Kiako said pointing to Kuro's room.
" Ya… I'm just as surprised as you are she didn't kill, gag or stomp me in to the cracks of the tiles in the floor" Fira said shrugging. " Anyway I gotta get back to my room… Got some sleeping to catch up on" Fira opened the door to see Kuro standing there. She looked pretty well rested for someone who had stayed up past midnight.
" Kuro" Fira and Kiako said at the same time.
" What the hell are you doing here?" Fira asked with a smile.
" THIS IS MY DORM!" Kuro said punching him in the nose. Fira fell over and Kuro grabbed one of Fira's legs. " Now come on Paine helped me to put up the training dummies outside"
(Outside)
Standing outside in the open area was Fira, Kiako, Kuro and Paine.
" Alright Fira we've only worked out the book work of our study in the dark arts, now it's time to do some action… Use a fire spell on that target" Kuro said.
" Hmhm this should be priceless" Paine laughed as she stood beside Kiako on the sidelines watching the teacher and student.
"Alright" Fira said making the kingdom keyblade appear in his right hand and the metal chocobo in his left. " HIYAH FIRE!" He pointed the keyblade at the straw man target and a puff of smoke came out the end of the keyblade.
"Oh wow" Paine said sarcastically with her arms crossed to her chest.
" Eh?" Fira said.
" Fira it's okay you didn't put enough MP into that one, just add more MP" Kuro said patting him on the back slightly. She jumped back from him.
" Okay!" He pointed the keyblade at the straw target but then all of a sudden a giant sphere of fire covered Fira's body and exploded like a grenade. Kuro switched to her white mage dressphere quick and created a magic barrier around her to protect her from the explosion as did Paine and Kiako. She switched back to see Fira standing there completely toasted with smoke forming from his mouth.
"Ow" Fira said falling out.
" Fira! That was great! But it was TOO much MP bring it down a notch" Kuro said kicking him while he was just lying there.
" Alright" Fira said in a daze with stars in his eyes.
" Fira use Blizzard" Kuro called.
" Yea!" Fira jumped up onto his feet and pointed the keyblade at the straw dummy. " DEEP FREEZE!" The frost came out in the opposite direction turning Fira into a human icicle.
" Pwahahahahaha" Paine bursted out laughing while trying to hold her sides. Kuro slapped her forehead and shook her head in disapproval.
" Fira… you…baka" Kuro sighed.
(7days later at lunch)
" Even after all of that stuff we covered he still doesn't get anything" Kuro explained sitting at a table with Hao and Sesshoumaru.
" Really?" Hao said staring at Fira whom was sitting at a different table with Cloud, Avalon, Irvine, Zell and Tidus.
" Hmm Fira is a regular idiot, children at the age of 5 can master a simple level 1 magic spell" Sesshoumaru added.
" God I'm gonna have a F because he doesn't understand magic… the test is today and I feel we haven't gotten anywhere I teach and teach and like an hour later he forgets everything he doesn't even care that he's failing" Kuro said with her head down on the lunch table.
" When do you have Ms. Lulu's class?" Hao asked.
" When lunch is over" Kuro's voice muffled while speaking on the table.
" Well why don't you cross fuse, when you fused together Fira can unleash all sorts of spells" Sesshoumaru suggested.
" Nah… Lu will never fall for it" Kuro said. Fira walked over to Kuro's lunch table.
" So ready to take that test?" Fira asked her with a big smile.
" erg okay yea I am but your not!" Kuro said pointing at him.
" oh I guess your right" Fira said laughing alittle.
"SHUT UP THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Kuro said slamming her fist on the table. "All of that work I did to try and cram alittle magic sense into your brain was in vain because you don't care!"
" Hey you said brain and vain those words rhyme ya know" Fira said smiling.
" aw" Kuro sighed while looking down. " Let's go… Hao, Sesshoumaru please show up at my funeral because staring at the class average will kill me"
" I will give you a proper barrel" Sesshoumaru said with a cold like stare. Kuro, Kiako and Fira walked off out of the cafeteria and straight to the elevator. Kiako stepped in and pressed the button to go up to the second floor. Once on the second floor they paced down the endless classroom halls and straight to Lulu's room. Inside the class was waiting on them, they all took their seats, Kuro sat in the far back, Kiako sat up in the front row and Fira sat somewhere in the middle.
" Nice of you three to join us" Ms.Lulu said stacking some exam papers. She walked out handing out papers. When all of the papers were passed out to all of the students Lulu walked back to her desk and made a small announcement.
" If any of you feel unsteady about taking the test I will allow you to drop it and receive your failing grade now… Raise your hands if you don't want to participate" Lulu said. With that Fira shot his hand up, Kuro's face turned blue and her heart dropped seven levels when she saw his palm in the air.
" Fira?" Lulu said giving Kuro a quick gaze. " Do you want to drop the test"
" Nah I need a pencil" Fira said. With that Kuro let out a breath of fresh air.
'Er don't ever do that again ya jerk' Kuro thought.
" Hm sure" Lulu smiled. Fira received his pencil and with no objections the entire began. Kuro had finished the test 3minutes after it started. (A/N: come on it's a black magic test and Kuro's like a level 1000 black mage she knows all there is to know about BM) She placed her pencil down while sort of shivering. Fira was still writing he…
'He's probably just Christmas treeing the entire test…. He's moving too fast… is he even reading the problems…please remember what we studied' Kuro thought.
After about forty five minutes, Lulu ordered all to drop their pencils and turn in they're tests. One by one the students handed in their tests.
" Okay thank you all dismissed" Lulu said. With that everyone stood up and left while conversing amongst himself or herself. The threesome Fira, Kuro and Kiako walked down the hall. The only one unsettled was Kuro, she walked with a slouch and small blue mini ghosts were hovering over her head.
" We're gonna be stuck as low ranked SeeDs all our lives" Kuro said.
" Nah we won't Kuro cheer up" Fira said.
" Ya Kuro chan we'll be upper classed SeeDs someday" Kiako smiled.
" Let's go come on to Balamb soda and lunch on me!" Fira said.
" In that case I'm inviting Hao and Sesshoumaru" Kuro said.
" And I'll invite Mr.Cid, Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi and Chichiri" Kiako added.
"Wait are you guys trying to dent my wallet! ALRIGHT BRING EM ALL THEN I'LL GUARANTEE YALL WILL BE EATING BREADSTICKS AND WATER!" Fira shouted as they all walked down the hallway.
(In the class)
Lulu specifically picked Fira's paper out of the rest. Fira's paper was next to perfect. He had all of his answers correct except one or two questions and he drew a big smily face on it with a bubble that said. "EZY PEEZY LEMON SQUEEZY!" And at the lower right hand side of the page was a chibi drawing of Kuro's head smiling and an arrow pointing to her with the words saying. " Best tutor in the world"
