Please enjoy the next chapter.

The students sat at their desks, Star, Brittney, Sabrina and Ashley focusing on their work, Marco looking up at the blackboard while everyone else stared at Marco in fear. The hissing noise of the PA system caught everyone's attention and most of the students jumped up in fear, "Attention please, attention. Would Marco…Marco…does this kid even have a last name? Marco, please report to the principal's office," everyone watched as the now white-haired teen stood up and Star, Brittney, Ashley and Sabrina frowned as their eyes followed him.

Reaching the door, Marco looked back with a cold look, causing most of the students to jump before looking back down at their work and he walked out of the classroom.

Marco stepped into the principal's office to see the short man sitting behind the desk, an angered expression crossing his face as he crossed his arms, "Come in, Mr. Marco, and close the door behind you," Marco nodded before he stepped further into the office and closed the door behind him before walking up to the desk.

Sitting down, the principal sighed as he leaned back, "Do you know why you're here?"

"To be perfectly honest, no, I have no idea why you called me," Marco shook his head, "As far as I'm aware, sir, I caused no trouble today…I'm incapable of causing any trouble at the moment,"

"The white hair, the blue contacts," the principal stood up and walked around the desk, "You kids and your ridiculous fads. Why don't you try being a leader, Mr. Marco, instead of being a follower and walking down the path of nothing but trouble?

"Sir, I really don't know what you're talking about."

"Why is your hair white all a sudden!" the principal slammed his fist onto the desk and Marco remained unmoved, "I've heard from several students that you're going through a rebellious phase, and just so you know, there is nothing you kids are going through that an adult hasn't already go through,"

"Sir, with all due respect, you, the teachers, the students and their parents have no idea what I'm going through," Marco stood up and frowned as he shook his head, "No one alive knows the torment I'm feeling, the pain that I've felt and the cold, bitter reality that I've seen."

"Oh? Is that so?" the principal walked back to his chair and sat down before leaning back, "Is that so, Mr. Marco? Well then if you would be so kind and enlighten me. Just humor me for a moment, Mr. Marco, because I've seen war, I've seen death, I've seen every disgusting crime imaginable, so there's nothing you can say to me that would surprise me," Marco frowned as he looked away, "I'm waiting, Mr. Marco,"

"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think I can tell you without sounding insane, and so I won't tell you," Marco frowned and hung his head, "I am sorry, sir, but I won't be telling you anything outside of no one knows what I'm going through,"

"I see…and is that your final answer, Mr. Marco?" Marco slowly nodded, "Well…I'm sorry to hear that. I've already called and informed Miss Butterfly's parents about this rebellious phase and informed them that you will be sent home for the rest of the day and being labeled as a distraction," Marco inhaled slowly, "If you kids wouldn't worry about your fancy Japanese cartoons then maybe you might get somewhere in life. We hope to see you tomorrow in a better mood, Mr. Marco. You may go now," Marco nodded before he stood up and walked out of the office.

Marco sat in the living room and Moon frowned as she slowly stood up, "I guess you were right, boy. We should've called you out until we understood the full extent of this Graceful-Period," Marco hummed, "Is there anything we could do to hide your white hair? Maybe if you wore a hat…we could shave your head…we could-"

"It won't work, Ms. Butterfly," Marco stood up before looking at Moon with an emotionless expression, "Even if I were to wear a hat, my hair is down to my shoulders, and I highly doubt it'll cover that much, and tying it up would have the opposite effect, and shaving my head…you'd have an easier task on slaying a demon lord." Moon hummed and arched a brow in confusion, "Due to my life before being banished, I tend to fear any sharp instrument that comes near me. So, the only thing we can do is let everything think I'm rebelling, even though it's not true,"

"And what will happen when your hair and eyes return to normal?"

"Anyone who opposed me during my Graceful-Period would have to deal with it," Marco turned and began walking towards the door, "I'm going to sit on the front step if that's okay," Moon frowned and slowly nodded as she watched as Marco walked out of the house, carefully closing the door behind him.

Marco sat on the front step, looking down at the rings one his fingers, "Ever since I've gotten you two, my life has been nothing but trouble. Why am I going through a Graceful-Period? It can't be because I've gone through an Evil-Cycle. I've gone through one before and nothing happened after…so…is the Brass Ring of Humility really doing this to me?" frowning, Marco leaned back and looked up at the sky as a few clouds rolled across the sun, "Sabrina's right, I'm going crazy. I honestly believe that the Brass Ring of Humility has divine power like that."

Standing up, the unholy hybrid stretched before he turned and began walking towards the door, "Hopefully after some time alone I can snap out of this cycle and my life can go back to somewhat normal…as normal as normal can be, I suppose," opening the door, Marco stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

Here's the second chapter, enjoy and happy holidays everyone.
