Chapter 7
"If only one could tell true love from false love as one can tell mushrooms from toadstools."
Unknown
It was a very beautiful day! The sun was shinning and sakura petals drifted aimlessly down from trees. People chattered happily as they walked through the gates to the high school.
Hisoka sneezed and rubbed his nose, Saya and Yuma squealed at the sight. "Aren't you so cuteee!"
"Are you alright, Hisoka?" Hijirri asked concernly, "Ah..it's just my hay fever playing up. It's fine.." Hisoka replied sniffling slightly, the two girls squealed in the background making Hijrri smile in disbelief.
"Ah! Look, there's that cute teacher!" Saya exclaimed excitedly pointing at the gates, Yuma grinned in delight. "Seriously, I don't know why you bother." Hijirri commented with a sigh as Saya and Yuma ignored him. Hijirri blinked startled and Hisoka sighed, "Let's take this as a blessing, don't comment. Let there be peace."
"Morning Bon!" Watari said cheerfully making Saya squeal. Watari looked a bit startled, "Ah…these one of your friends, bon?"
"Ah….yes. This is Hijirri, Saya and Yuma. This is-."
"We know who he is! He's our new health teacher!" Saya said with a grin.
OH god! NOOOOOOOOO!
"That's nice." He commented and Watari smiled uncertainly, "Hey Bon..?"
"Ah?"
Watari shifted position looking slightly uncomfortable, "I know this really isn't any of my business but I was just kinda curious because it's an interesting to-."
"Spit.it.OUT." Hisoka cut in.
"Did…something happen between you and..Tsuzuki?"
Hisoka raised an eyebrow, "Sorry?"
No, Hisoka did not have amnesia. He had merle blocked the memory of the kiss with Tsuzuki because he didn't know how to react to it. This was a very convenient skill to have. It was better then empathy but unfortunately didn't work with empathy. But then again, who can just forget that they know the thoughts of all people (mostly teenagers driven on hormones) in the immediate area?
'Oh…Sarah looks so goooooooodddd…..'
'Cute ass…aww..yeah….'
Time for that wonderful skill of blocking-what-Hisoka-doesn't-need-to-know-about! YAY! Everyone cheer now and watch how Hisoka used his ability again to block that nasty perverted female teacher's thought of-
"Bon..?" Watari interrupted now. Hisoka blinked, "..Nothing has happened between me and Mr.Tsuzuki." Yuma looked worried, "How come? He seems nice."
Watari sighed rubbing his head, "He came home from the hospital troubled so I was..wondering if Bon knew anything happened because he was the one who spent most of his time with."
There was a moment of silence before Watari grinned.
"Alright, thanks! I'll see you for my class later!" Watari replied cheerfully and they nodded as Watari left to head into the school.
"Something wrong with Mr. Tsuzuki? I hope he's okay." Hijirri murmured concernedly.
Hisoka snorted, "Who cares about that idiot?"
They looked at him startled, "..Don't you like him Hisoka?"
He twitched, "He's a teacher. The only thing I care about is my education."
Yuma looked worried, "So..I guess it wasn't a good idea to send those rumors around."
Hisoka choked before looking up at her icily, "What…rumors?"
Yuma and Saya epped, "It wasn't our idea honest! It was Maria's! she said that she knew you liked him and-."
"Speaking of Maria..I wonder where she is?" Hijirri interrupted.
"She was looking a bit pale yesterday! Perhaps she's taking a day of so she doesn't get sick for her performance tomorrow!" Saya replied cheerfully and Hisoka twitched.
"Or is that another rumor!" He snapped and the girls squealed before running, Hisoka followed in pursuit storming after them with a Hijirri crying out "It's not worth it!"
Tsuzuki sat down at his desk and silently took out the things he needed for the first lessons. The lollipop he had saved for today lay forgotten in one of his drawers, he glanced outside with a sigh.
"Tsuzuki! Look what I have! Chocolate cake!" Watari said cheerfully holding out a plate of chocolate cake. Tsuzuki grinned going to reach for the cake, "Yay! Cake!"
"You can only have it if you tell me what's wrong!" Watari replied moving the plate of cake out of Tsuzuki's reach. Tsuzuki sulked. "Nothing's wrong!"
"Tsuzuki. Terezama is rambling on how the world's going to end soon, at this rate he's going to be taken away. For his sake…tell me what's wrong!" Watari pointed at Terezama at his desk that indeed looked very jittery.
It was quite a sad sight actually.
"…Hisoka likes Muraki.." Tsuzuki said with a sigh, Watari stared startled as did half the teachers in the staffroom.
Yes, teachers do gossip. Wouldn't the students be shocked if they discovered this?
"Wha!" Watari managed to say startled and Tsuzuki explained how he accidentally nearly walked on them kissing.
"That doesn't mean anything! He threatened Muraki afterwards so perhaps it's a mix-up! Besides unlike you Tsuzuki, I really think that Hisoka likes you!" Watari said cheerfully, Tsuzuki brightened up slightly. "Maybe.."
"We know Hisoka is single! You can still persuade him, you're great and funny! He won't be able to resist!" Watari said cheerfully, Tsuzuki grinned before frowning.
"But….Muraki…is..cool…"
Watari sighed as Tsuzuki went back to sulking.
Homeroom ended and it seemed Maria wouldn't be turning up for today. Their first two lessons was Physical Education and Hisoka was sure ready for it!
It turned out those rumors had gone throughout their school! Dammnit!
He wanted to punch something! He wanted to kung-fuu something! Most of the homeroom, the class spent debating whether it was true but however they'd all decided he wasn't seme.
"It's a height rule." Tara, a female student explained to him which had made him twitch.
"Aww come on Hisoka! We said we were sorry!" Yuma wailed trying to keep up with Hisoka.
"Get.away.from.me." He snapped dragging Hijirri to physical education, Yuma and Saya had a different class so they went sobbing off to another class.
"Wasn't that a bit harsh…?" Hijirri questioned and immediately shut up when Hisoka gave him a glare.
"Right..It was..their.fault." Hijirri stuttered nervously and Hisoka nodded, "Good Hijirri, so what are doing today?"
"I believe it's karate or kendo…"
"Goodie."
"…I'm your friend…you like me don't you?"
Hisoka was silent which worried Hijirri a bit.
Oriya was already there handing out wooden swords, "Find someone to pair up with. We're going to be practice sequences with partners."
"I'm your partner..right Hisoka?" Hijirri asked nervously, Hisoka looked confused.
"Of course you are.."
Hijirri let out a sigh of relief. 'OH THANK GOD!' '
Hisoka merle gave Hijirri an odd look. He wasn't that bad, was he? Admittedly he was still slightly annoyed but was he that angry looking?
He might as well go with it. It could be to his advantage.
"Right, I want Hisoka and Hijirri to go up against Bob and Eric." Oriya drawled, Hisoka stood on the mat next to Hijirri who looked slightly nervous.
"What's up?" Hisoka asked curiously.
"These two are one of the most experienced kendo fighters!" Hijirri replied in a whisper back.
"You only have to come in if I loose against to either one of them. Don't worry." Hisoka replied dismissively making Hijirri gape as Hisoka went into a normal stance.
"Ready. Bob against Hisoka. Begin." Oriya said with a sigh.
"You ready to go down, lill man!" Sneered Bob, Hisoka sighed.
"Head."
"Wa?"
WHACK.
"Left shoulder."
"!"
WHACK.
Bob went out of the circle after a few more hits which made a few people gape as Hisoka went back to the normal stance.
"Eric. Your turn. Hisoka, we don't tell where we're going to hit in these matches." Oriya commented.
"Sorry Mr. Oriya ." Hisoka replied and Oriya merle nodded, Eric looked slightly worried but mostly angry as he entered the circle.
"Go." Oriya replied.
"Ya think you're so grand?"
That was the only thing Eric was able to say before Hisoka did 6 moves which sent him out of the circle with a bleeding nose.
"hmm.. I'll have to take him to the nurse, keep your nose up. Good boy Eric. Continue practicing everyone." Oriya commented helping the boy to the door.
Bob growled and a few other boys looked equally as pissed, "Oh we'll keep practicing."
"Hisoka…I don't think that was the best move…" Hijirri commented.
Hisoka said nothing as he stayed in his stance on the mat.
"Oh cheer up Tsuzuki! Look what else I have!" Watari grinned and revealed a bag of candy, Tsuzuki looked delighted.
"Watari! You shouldn't have!"
Tsuzuki winced as Muraki came through the door drinking a cup of coffee.
Watari noticed him too and gave an irraited look as Muraki looked surprised at the annoyed looks from the two teachers.
"Ah?"
"I hope you're happy with yourself!" Watari scolded.
Tsuzuki gave a childish pout and poked his tongue at the doctor. He turned back to the candy Watari had given him, mumbling about stupid doctors stealing sokas..
Muraki blinked.
..Well that was unexpected…
The staffroom door burst open. A couple of frantic students panted before a girl managed to say, "There's a fight in the p.e area!"
The teachers looked startled.
"Oh we should hurry." Muraki said worriedly putting the coffee mug down.
Tsuzuki and other teachers got up heading to the door.
"This way!" The girl cried and pushed the staffroom door open for the teachers.
"What's happened so far?" Oriya asked.
"A boy with green eyes is taking them on! It's like 9 against 1!" A male student cried.
"Hisoka!" Tsuzuki cried shocked.
Muraki smiled, "Well that's a relief but we should hurry to give medical help and protection!"
"Protection?" Tatsumi said in disbelief.
The p.e doors slammed opened, to reveal classes near the edges of the p.e area staring in complete disbelief.
There was a circle of male students in the middle of the p.e area and screams could be heard from the centre.
A boy went flying and hit the door, the teachers stared in disbelief.
The circle disparted as only 6 males were left and Hisoka dodging an attack and kicking a boy into an unconscious state.
"Wha…?" Tsuzuki said in disbelief.
"Hisoka Kurosaki. Age 16. Grade 10. He is skilled in over 7 different martial artforms and swordfighting including fencing and kudo. He's won 2 competition of archery." Muraki read from a little black book that had appeared in his hand.
"What the hell is that!" Watari exclaimed pointing at the black book in Muraki's hands.
Muraki blinked, "It's my book."
"How do you know so much of Mr. Kurosaki?" Tatsumi said in disbelief, obviously stunned as everyone else.
Muraki closed it and merle smiled.
"I…research?"
"…….."
There was a silence from all teachers and the cries of the male students being beaten by Hisoka could be heard.
"Do you do this ….often? Research students?" Watari asked weakly.
"Yes, I seem to be doing it increasingly."
Terezama backed a few steps away from Muraki.
A male student hit the floor near them and Oriya nodded in approval, "He's been taught well, his technique is excellent."
"Shouldn't you stop this?" Another teacher questioned.
"…..I guess." Oriya murmured sounding slightly reluctant as he walked in stopping two swords in mid motion.
"I think it's time we stopped this. I can guess what occurred. All of you who are on the ground have detention."
"What about him?" Eric snarled pointing his sword at Hisoka who was looking slightly tired but mostly relaxed.
"As far as I'm concerned he only defended himself." Oriya replied, Muraki drifted over to Hisoka.
"Let's see how you-."
Hisoka gave a glare, "I am fine. Touch me again and I'll-."
"Hisoka, hitting a teacher will give you a dentention." Oriya interrupted.
"He's a doctor. There's a difference. He's a pervert." He replied with a pissed off look.
"Then Mr. Watari, can you please check on Mr. Kurosaki?" Tatsumi replied, Watari nodded and gave Hisoka a quick examination.
"He seems fine. Just a few bruises and scratches." Watari replied turning to face them.
Tsuzuki's eyes widened as Hisoka staggered.
"Soka!"
And Hisoka began to fall only to be caught by Tatsumi.
"Mr. Tsuzuki and Mr. Watari! Take him to the nurse's office! Mr. Watari take his bag too!" Tatsumi growled out.
"Right!" Tsuzuki replied in understanding and Watari looked startled but nodded.
Hijirri had already grabbed Hisoka's bag to give to Watari.
"Hurry. He needs to have his medication." Tatsumi muttered as they went running out.
