Reply to cupcake: Don't worry! Iggy will get his happy ending in a split version of one of the future chapters! Aren't we glad that he didn't get bloodshed? If he did, I would be trampled by Iggy fangirls. :o Anyways, remember to check your forecast to see if an update storm is heading for you! Spasibo!


Wednesday

Hehehe...ehehehehe...

No, I'm not laughing, you are.

It worked again. Now to think of something else as I socialize with these evil people. "Hey, that emo British freak is stalking Ivan again." Zao said, pointing to Arthur, who was behind a tree. Me and the evil students laughed at him.

"Freak."

"Emo."

"Goth."

"Hahahahaha."

We continued insulting him but I stopped when I saw tears in his eyes, like he was going to cry right in front of us. It's not like I care about him (since he's a rival), but I'm starting to think that something else is up.

I shook the thought off and engaged in a conversation instead.

"I'm rooting for someone who can get rid one of the Occult club members."

"Hehehe, the school would be better without those freaks."

"Hahahahaha!"

The bell rang and we all separated to go to class. Sometimes, I wonder why someone like me would care about an enemy. Not that I would like to know. Something else is up...

Morning classes of history later...

"Heyyy, I see that my little brother made friends, hm?" Flavio teased, poking my cheek. "I'm only doing it just to fit in." I said, then my eyes wandered to Feliciano slipping his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a shiny sword before sitting down and placing it beside him.

"Hey, see that sword?" I gestured to Flavio, pointing to it. He nodded. "Watch." I said then stood up. I crawled to the bench where Feliciano was and silently took the sword. My brother's eyes widened at what I did. "Oh~ I see what you're going to do. You're going to frame Arthhur for stealing it?" He guessed. I nodded. I ran down to the Occult Club and found Arthur with his back turned.

Perfect timing. I crept slowly towards him and stealthly placed the sword in his pocket. "H-Huh?" I heard him say. I froze and he turned to look at me. "W-What do you want from me?" He asked, a small hint of pain present. "Um...nothing. Just continue what you're doing." I said then ran.

I ran until I reached the guidance counselor's office. I opened the doors and Signor Ryan took notice immediately. "What can I help you with?" He asked. "It seems that Arthur stole someone's means of self-defense. Could you please confront him?" I reported. "Is that true? I'd hate to think that we have a thief here in school. Thank you for telling me. I'll get to the bottom of this." Signor Ryan thanked.

I walked out and went back to Flavio. "Huh? Where's my sword? Oh mio dio...that was my only means of defending myself...I hope I can find it..." I heard Feliciano say as I sat down on the bench. He looked left and right before standing up to find it.


At the end of the day, Arthur Kirkland was called into the guidance counselor's office for the third time. "May I do a body check on you?" Signor Ryan asked. Arthur didn't say anything and stood straight with his arms out sidewards. Signor Ryan got up from his chair and got behind him and started patting down his sides and got to the pocket of his pants and felt something metallic.

Signor Ryan pulled out the object to reveal the sword. "This obviously doesn't belong to you! What are you doing with someone else's property?! Not to mention that this is also their defensive weapon!" Arthur gulped. He was already in hot water two times and this is the third time he got in trouble for something he didn't do.

"I-I wouldn't do such thing! I don't know how that got in there!" Arthur tried to reason, but the gudiance counselor didn't believe him. "Quiet! I don't want to hear anymore reports of you stealing!"

"Y-Yes..."

Strikes left: 2

Report: The sword was returned to Feliciano Vargas and he began to keep a close eye on it during break times.
