Aki: chapter 2: troubles
In the morning when we got up I went to go get breakfast ready and shortly afterwards Shinnihaku got up. I had some bacon frying and toast cooking all ready for us but none of it was done yet.
"Good morning." She said cheerfully.
"Um… hi! Now I have to add this to these bacon strips and …" I said working on the meal and Shinnihaku started laughing. "Is something wrong?"
"No… it's just, I realized 'herbal medicine goddess' meant." She said still giggling.
"Huh? Oh, crud, I need to stir this and focus on completing that." I said a little surprised.
"It means you a cook." She whispered to herself.
"What was that?" I asked half turning around.
"Nothing. I was just talking to myself." She said smiling and a few minutes later I had breakfast on the table.
We sat down to eat and we both ate with haste because we needed to go to school. School started at seven and it was already 6:10. It took about twenty minutes to get to school so we had to hurry to get out on time. We finished and promptly got dressed and packed up for school. Shinnihaku claimed she would be alright because she was my in school registered tutor, which I didn't understand one word of, but I needed to get all my books together and that would take a little while.
We rushed out of the door, which I locked behind us and began down the path upon which got us to school fastest and where I met her first. I walked swiftly with her beside me we made our way up the stair together and down the long path through the park. The journey was done swiftly, but patiently, as if we didn't care if we were late, but we didn't really want to be late. With Shinnihaku time seemed to slow down, as if seconds were minutes and minutes hours. As we walked across the school grounds it seemed to me we moved incredibly slow and yet we were traveling faster than all of the other students, partially because they were all standing and staring though. We walked into my classroom and all my classmates' jaws dropped in either awe or incredulity.
"Dude, where did you get a chick like that?" and "who is she?" were all I heard as both the guys and girls crowded around me. I merely brushed them aside and answered, some what truthfully, their questions. I could not just tell them that Shinnihaku was an angel, for that would just creep them out and scare them off. I told them that she was my tutor and that she lived in my house with me. These sorts of questions continued until the teacher entered the classroom. Then my classmates, quite reluctantly, went back to their seats and class began. The lesson proceeded as normal but this time I understood what was going on and, with Shinnihaku aiding me as I did my work, I got all my work done in class.
During lunch we made my cooking, which unfortunately drew my classmates' attention because they thought it was Shinnihaku who had made the lunch. When they asked about it she promptly told them that I had made the meal and that she could cook if her life depended on it. They disbelieved her until home economist class in which I proceeded to tutor her on how to cook. My classmates still didn't believe it but were becoming much more curious about our relationship, believing it to be, accurately, more than that of a teacher-student relationship. They still had no idea how our relationship began or why it last on, but they knew it existed.
After school, as my 'mentor' and me walked to my extra curricular activity, advanced mathematics, we were rushed by several classes' worth of students who wanted all sorts of information and data. We, noticing them around the corner, vanished into an empty classroom. We, feeling relieved, went to the window and began studying.
As we studied I began to think. I really like this girl. And she… she doesn't seem to dislike me. Maybe we could go out together or even get married. I wonder what she would think about me as a husband.
"Geishinni? Are you all right? You are blushing a bright red." Shinnihaku said, interrupting my thoughts.
"No, I'm all right. It's just, I'd like you to, well, go out with me like as my girlfriend." I said a little nervous.
"Hmm." She said thoughtfully. "I think … I'll do it."
"Really?" I asked.
"Of course." She said smiling.
"That's so nice of you. Thank you Shinnihaku!" I said exuberantly.
"If I'm going to be with you anyways, why not bring you pleasure as well?" she asked.
"Hmm, well…" I began but Shinnihaku swiftly interrupted me with a kiss.
At first I was almost refusing it, but after a moment I relaxed and began to enjoy it. I kissed back with all the energy that she kissed me with and we kept our selves there for a moment or two. After that we broke apart, both looking very flushed.
"That's something boyfriends and girlfriends do together, right?" Shinnihaku asked panting.
"I believe so. I have never dated anyone before so I don't have personal experience." I said also panting. "But I really enjoy it."
"So did I. But next time let's try not to pick up voyeurs." She said plainly as I looked towards the door.
There were dozens of people just out side our door. They wanted to get in, but the door was locked and nothing they attempted would get them in. I looked at them first shocked and then amused. I was so amused that I began to laugh.
"What's so funny?" she asked.
"All these people were chasing after us because of you. Now they will be chasing after us because of me. In about two minutes they will be standing in here shocked because we have vanished on them." I explained promptly.
"We will?" she asked. "How?"
"You, my maiden, will aid us with a little magic. Otherwise we will have to wait out all eternity in this room. I think that if anything you can do can get us out of this room by going through walls it would be preferable." I answered intelligently.
"What about not using magic around people?" she asked doubtfully.
"We will go into the closet over there. Then you can use magic without them seeing you." I said playing the question off.
"I hope you're right." She said as we walked over to the closet and opened it up.
It was almost completely empty. We stepped in and shut it after us before Shinnihaku began her spell. Her chant was in a language I had never heard nor seen, but some how I understood it.
'Oh walls of this great structure, grant us passage to the outside world. We implore you so as to avoid devastation from enemies beyond. Come to our aid and allow us to pass through your boundaries.' She chanted. 'Open, we beseech you!'
Then the walls began to become fluid and we passed through the floor to the bottom floor of the school. Then we swiftly left the building and the school grounds much to the amazement of our classmates.
On the way home we chatted about the day's happenings. From the moment we stepped in the school the day was like no other. First we were surrounded by my entire class and then after school chased by them. We locked ourselves in a classroom and agreed to go out, and then we kissed, and then we had a large company of voyeurs looking in on us so we left through the floor.
"But today was fun wasn't it?" Shinnihaku said.
"Of course. It seems like everything I do with you is fun and exciting. That's part of why I want to go out with you." I said smiling.
"I feel almost the exact same way." She said laughing. "I like you very much Geishinni. That's why I will always stay with you."
"I wonder why we feel almost exactly the same about each other?" I asked.
"Only the Almighty one know." She replied grinning. "I'll race you home!"
"I'm not going to lose." I said as we dashed down the path home.
We made it back to our house and we went to go finish my homework. After we finished I went to make dinner and we sat down to eat.
"Are you going to sleep in the same room with me again tonight?" I asked curiously.
"Why? Is there a problem with it?" she asked.
"No, but I don't think I want to spend the night chastise with my girlfriend in the room." I answered sneakily.
"What would you intend with that remark?" she asked suspicious of my motives. "You wouldn't plan on endangering an angel's virtue, would you?"
"I don't know about that. I've been known for doing much more … heinous deeds in the past. Sure, I've always been kind, but I always have a motive when I am with someone who wants to be around me when they don't need to be." I said eerily.
"Hmm. Sounds like fun. We just need to keep our clothes on. For one thing… I … well… let's just say angels don't have the same sort of education that humans do." She said blushing and stuttering.
"Of course, my maiden. I wouldn't destroy you as my maiden, just yet. The time will come when we both want that, and by that time we will both have what we need to do that." I said grinning.
"Thank you for your concern. Now we need to get up early, and if you have in mind what I think you do, we better get to bed." Shinnihaku said as she gracefully walked up the stairs.
"Be right with you." I said as I stuck the dishes in the dishwasher and followed after her.
We both got into my bed this time and after the lights were out we picked up right where we left off at school. We enjoyed many kisses, not all of them on the lips.
