CHAPTER 7. TO CENTRAL TOWN II
Unknowingly, her eyes narrowed, don't tell me he is the other man….?!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"N-narumi-sensei?" why would he be here? He never goes here before, Ruka thought.
The blond-haired teacher was wearing a pink frilly shirt with ruffles that did nothing to enhance his masculinity. The Scottish plaid was an unnatural red too.
"Hi, Ruka! I didn't know you would be here." He said rather over-excitedly. He seemed to be hiding something….
He stood up from where he was sitting on the floor amidst the animals and ignored a puppy who tried to catch his attention again.
Dusting the dirt off his pants, he greeted the teacher he hadn't been able to hear a lecture from since elementary, but he can see he was still freakish…
"Narumi-sensei, what brings you here?"
The teacher looked this way and that before whispering. "She's not here is she?"
"Who?" he paused to think for a minute but he knew who the teacher meant, "Oh, you mean Imai? I believe not, sensei." That girl was always within his sight these days. As if… a chill went up his spine, she's not planning something up, is she?
The teacher sighed in relief.
"Good." He flipped his hair back with a quick motion and roses filled the air. –like in the anime whenever he would use his alice-
"Ruka?"
Ruka, not a child anymore, didn't faint from this onslaught of Narumi's alice, you know what happens…. Suddenly, Ruka had a besotted look on his face and looked at Narumi adoringly.
"Yes, sensei…"
"Ah, Ruka, will you..?" Narumi batted his eyelashes.
"Yes, sensei…."
"Can you ….?"
"Yes, sensei, yes….what is it….?"
"Can you, sing for me?" Narumi looked at him with half-closed eyes.
"I'll do that and more for you sensei….." he was still under Narumi's spell.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
What the hell is happening? Why is Narumi-sensei here? And what is happening to Ruka?!
Hotaru's hold on the camera tightened as it dawned on her. Narumi was using his alice. But for what? If he'll do anything to him…. Ruka's mine sensei…. Don't you dare touch a strand of his blond hair to sell…
Ruka was really disgusting to look at when he was in such a state but she nevertheless took a picture. She was too far from them, and she hadn't managed to place her tiny spy bug on him because Mikan was clinging to her all the time.
"huh?" they're going out? Already?
A tug on her skirt kept her from jumping down from the chair. She saw that it was Inchou, and he was bringing Yoiichi with him.
Good.
"Inchou, where is Mikan?"
"U-uh, Mikan? She was looking for you a few minutes ago."
She nodded. "That's not good."
A pause.
"I think."
She sighed. It really couldn't be helped, she after all, didn't tell Mikan what she was up to.
Inchou noticing the look Hotaru was giving him, gulped and reluctantly asked Hotaru,
"What…why Hotaru?"
"Inchou? You're my friend, right?"
"Yes, of course, why?"
"Good. That means you will do what I ask of you."
She looked at him directly. "Keep Mikan away from me."
With that she slid down the chair, picked up her bag and started to walk away. A thought entered her head, worthy of a pause in her actions.
"Inchou, one more thing. That is until before we head back to our high school apartments, okay?" she said over her shoulder.
"Ah, wait Hotaru…!" he tried to reach out but knew he couldn't stop the already fledging Hotaru. He knew he should warn her that Yoiichi had run after her but…he sighed, she didn't say anything about kids following after her, didn't she?
And with that, he turned and went from that dimly lit back building and to the waiting Mikan.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arrgh, where are they?
She knew she had already wasted too much time if she was to catch up with them talking to Inchou. But she couldn't help that, she needed to get Mikan away from this gender business of hers and Ruka's.
Shying away the little branches of the bushes that threatened to catch the hem of her dress, she stepped into the middle square of Central Town. Everywhere she could see elementary students and adults going about their business, but that was it. NO sign of Ruka and Narumi-sensei in here.
A tug on her skirt.
Huh?
She tried to take another step.
Another tug, and much insistent this time.
"Oi."
She glanced down to look at the 'tugger' and much to her chagrin, saw a little boy squinting his eyes against the glare of the sun.
"Oi."
Her eyes widened in surprise.
"Yoiichi?"
The 9 year-old merely looked at her, and she looked back. Now, how was she going to do this if a kid was with her…?
Uh….she looked this way and that, hoping to see a glimpse of two blond heads, and did. They were headed somewhere, seeing Narumi's determined steps.
She looked back at the 9 year-old.
This was one of those times when she had to make quick decisions.
Scooping up the kid in her arms, she hastened her steps towards the teacher and her target.
"So Yoiichi, what are you doing following me around?"
She turned away from a table occupied by giggling girls.
"Nothing. Natsume just told me that if I looked for you…I would be… 'having one hell of a time having fun'."
Hotaru stole a glance at the fuzzy head.
"He told you that?"
"Yup. He also said that if I followed you I would … 'see Ruka being tortured by some black-haired short witch'…or old hag."
:VEIN:
"Is the 'black-haired short witch'…you?"
:VEIN:VEIN:
She was about to follow the urge to drop him when she saw that she was able to catch up to them already. The devilish kid had some luck today.
Without putting down her additional, not to mention, annoying, baggage in front of the pair she impaled Narumi with her eyes, grabbed Ruka's collar and, dragged, him into the more wooded areas of Central Town. Her warnings sounding so loudly in the teacher's ears.
Courtesy of a little invention she had made for stubborn, idiotic people. He was the first to try it.
XXXXso now in the woodsXXXXwhat will happen?! XXXXso now in the woodsXXXX
Hotaru was staring at him, and he felt ready to burst in a puddle of sweat any second from now. But he was not giving up. No sir! He was still acting as if he was still besotted with that human-pheromone alice teacher, but he had to do it…nah…it was more likely an experiment.
He was wondering from the moment he had gained his senses, realizing that Hotaru had grabbed hold of his collar, what she would do to revive him.
He had been worried at first that Hotaru would take advantage of this moment and take that camera from that hideous bag-he had felt it was hideous because it usually had something in it to make him run-of hers.
But she was still not doing anything! She was standing there, looking at him with that same expression in her eyes---no, wait, she was taking a step, STEPS!, towards him. Her expression unchanging.
Don't get too excited now, Ruka….Don't look at her straight in the eye! Don't give yourself away…
SLAP!
A resounding echo sounded in his ears.
HE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT. Still dazed from the shock, Hotaru thought otherwise.
SLAP!
Ahhh…..his cheeks felt numb, and before he had a chance to recover, he saw Hotaru's knee-high skirt hike up, revealing her pale white skin, ready to----
"Imai!Don'tyoudaredo---" it seemed to him that he never spoke as fast as he did that day…but it was too late.
!!!CRUNCH!!!
Gods in heaven….
He dropped to his knees, cradling his aching crotch. For once, he saw Hotaru's eyes widen in REAL shock…and felt a little, a little, a little relief.
It was then that he saw who was holding the camera.
Kami-sama…he was not going to have kids in the future, wasn't he….?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
