A Demon's Angel
Chapter 2: School Days
"Oh and these too!" Lara gave a apologetic smile as she placed two more book in the already existing pile in the brunets hands, "I'm really sorry for pushing you into doing this, but I really need some help."
The brunet wiggled her nose so her glasses wouldn't continue their voyage down her nose, once they were in place she smiled, "It's okay, at least you know when to ask for help."
Unlike me.
Lara smiled, but then released an annoyed sigh, "Dario's being a jerk again and wants those book delivered in the student council room, but as you can see," She gestured to her desk that was clustered with books, papers, pencils, highlighters and everything you would see in the school work isle at a store, "I'm sorta busy." She turned to the brunet, "Thanks a lot Leaf, I'm so sorry for making you do this during our lunch break."
Leaf smiled, "I would wave you off, but my hand's are kinda busy, but it's really fine. I don't mind helping a friend!" She walked towards the door, "I'm going to take these books now, they're sorta heavy."
"Oh! Yeah, sorry." Lara smiled, "I owe you one!" Lara called as Leaf exited the classroom.
"I know." Hummed the Brunet a devious smirk gracing her lips. She dropped the smirk once she rounded the corner. Dario was an asswipe, that was for sure. Leaf knew his motives for tormenting Lara. He was trying to get her attention. By being an asshole. Leaf liked Lara, instead of throwing herself at Dario's feet, like other girls, Lara flat out found his attitude annoying.
Only once did Leaf ever see Dario's attitude drop. It was after school, and Lara was hanging out with Dawn, Leaf saw them from the second floor library. She was helping out the librarian when she saw it all play out. Lara turned to Dawn and said something, (she was too far away so Leaf couldn't read her lips) then gestured towards the tree they where under. A daring smile gracing her lips. Dawn shook her head, pointing out the wideness of the branches, stating that if one of them were to fall, the branches would be too far apart to grab one in time.
Waving her off, Lara grabbed a thick branch and hauled herself up, sitting on the branch, smiling down at a concerned Dawn. One head snapped up while the other turned around to see. Dario appeared to be scolding them, being the student President and all. Lara waved him off and continued climbing, high and higher. Dawn held her concerned expression while Dario's expression slowly became that of concerned as well.
Lara was so focused on climbing, that when Dario yelled at her to get down, her concentration broke, and she fell. Not before her forearm came into hard contact with a branch. Lara screamed in pain, her breath was knocked out of her when her back reached the ground, she clutched her arm to her chest. Screaming and withering in pain.
Leaf actually felt bad for Dario when she saw his expression when he realized it was his fault she fell.
Leaf walked through the open student council room, she walked over to Dario who was busy marking something on paper. She placed the books on his desk. He was alone. Good.
"What took you so damn long?" He snapped, not looking up, "Took you long enough."
"Look up, dipshit." Leaf huffed.
Startled, Dario looked up, "What?" His face dropped when he realized who it was, "Oh, you."
"What? Expecting someone else?" She taunted.
Gazing at her he huffed, "You and your double sided personality," he growled, "No one believes me when I say you are the farthest thing from a saint."
Leaf smirked, "D'aww," She cooed, "It's like the boy who cried wolf." She moved to sit on the desk.
Dario rolled his eyes, "But this time you really are a wolf."
"Jerk."
"Says you."
Jumping off, she walked towards the door to leave, she stopped, one hand resting on the door frame, "Oh, and" She lowered her head, gazing over her glasses, "Tell your leader that the next time he pulls a stunt like that it will be war."
"And if I don't?"
"I will hurt you." Her voice laced with a threatening promise.
Dario narrowed his eyes, "Good luck with that. I will have the Demons after your ass if you even touch me." He gave a feral smirk.
Leaf returned his smirk, "Who says I'll hurt you?"
Dario's smirk fell, "Then who–?"
"Lara works late at night, doesn't she?" Leaf asked innocently. She saw his expression harden.
"You wouldn't." He growled.
She wouldn't, Leaf would never harm Lara in anyway, but he didn't need to know that. "I need to protect my gang, and after the stunt your gang pulled last night, I'm surprised none of my guys died." She clawed the wooden door frame. Her nails leaving scars in the wood.
"We will find out who the leader of your little gang is Leaf, and when we do, it won't be pretty."
Huh, so they're still convinced that the leader is someone hiding. Leaf laughed, "I'll be there when you do."
"You talk a lot of high shit for a grunt." Dario stated.
"That I do." Was all Leaf said before completely leaving the room. Leaving Dario to his thoughts.
Leaf hummed to herself as she walked down the hallway, she turned the corner was there was Dawn leaning on a wall, "Is it done?"
Leaf nodded, "Yup," She chirped.
Dawn smirked, "You threatened him with Lara didn't you?"
Leaf hummed, "He wouldn't do what I asked otherwise."
Dawn gave a half smile, "You're not really going to hurt her are you?" Dawn knew Leaf couldn't harm the blue haired teen.
Leaf shook her head, "Nah, I couldn't do that."
"Yo! Dawn, Leaf!"
Leaf and Dawn turned around simultaneously. Walking towards them was a familiar brunet with her hair in her signature hairstyle. And of course there was a bandage in her cheek and forehead.
"Touko," Leaf smiled in acknowledgment.
"Where you girls heading?" Touko questioned.
"Lunch room," Dawn answered, "Wanna join?" She grinned.
"Of course." Touko nodded, "I was actually with Lyra just now," She began, "She said she needed to get some more items for the thing she's working on" Touko said, as if carrying a daily conversion. But Leaf and Dawn knew.
"Still?" Dawn said as she released a breath of air.
Touko shrugged, "She said that she went to all the good stores, but none had them, or they didn't want to sell anything to her." she blew a strand of loose brown hair away from her face.
Leaf remained silent, thinking.
"Has she tried the kcalb tekram?" Leaf questioned, not looking back.
Touko's lips curled into a smile, "She said she was going to check it out today."
Dawn rolled her eyes, "Really, Leaf? Really?" She smiled nonetheless.
Turning a corner the three girls walked through open twin doors, and into the screaming chaos called lunch.
"Is that guy humping the table?"
"Sshh, Touko, let it happen."
Touko whipped around, she grinned at the short haired brunet, "May!"
May laughed, "Touko! Glad to see you're actually eating lunch."
Touko grunted, "Ha, I do eat. Just not the slop this school calls food."
May hummed in agreement, "Hey, it's free." She gave a one shoulder shrug.
"Ever notice how there are never any teachers around?" Dawn mused.
Touko dodged a slop of food, "I just dodged, what I'm guessing is food. I don't blame them." Touko whipped around, "Really Misty?" She questioned the red-head. Her right leg was was locked with Misty's own, she blocked Misty's surprise high-kick with her own.
"You never fail to disappoint, Touko." Misty grinned.
"Panty shot!"
Both girls lowered their legs and sent the male student a death glare.
"You girls do realize you sorta flashed everyone in the lunch room?" Another voice pipped up.
"Shut up, Lyra." Touko growled, yet her voice lacked any real venom.
The short girl gave a sweet smile, "Aww, it's lacy black~!" She said to the tall brunet.
Misty snorted a laugh.
"Shut up, Misty," Touko growled, her cheeks tinted pink, "Really? Your panties were waves. Ocean. Waves."
Misty flicked Touko off with a straight face.
They grabbed their lunch and sat down on their usual table. Touko winced as she reached over to grab May's apple.
"Does it still hurt?" Misty quietly asked, gesturing towards Touko's bandaged wrist.
Touko nodded, "Not much though, it occasionally stings. I'm going to let Cassandra take a look at it after school though, just in case."
Leaf placed a grape in her mouth, "After yesterday's failed raid our food portion has decreased. We need to go on a raid again, and soon." Her expression was unreadable. But waves of rage rolled off her.
Lyra took a bite from her chocolate bar, "Can I blow something up?" She said loudly, braking the ice, "I haven't blown anything up in a while."
Touko rolled her eyes at her roommate's antics, "I swear to god," She muttered, "You are such a Yandere."
May grinned, "Isn't she?"
Dawn smiled, "Good to know I'm the normal one in the group." She said teasingly.
Touko barked a laugh, "Normal? HA! Says the girl who stays up all night writing and reading gay smut!"
Dawn's faced flushed, "Hey!" She whined, "Not so loud."
Leaf snorted, "Like you give a shit, Dawn." She started, "You spend the nights at my house talking about how 'Destiel', is totally canon," She said with air notation marks at 'Destiel'.
"Pft, I don't" Dawn laughed, "I don't want to scar little Lyra over here."
Lyra gave a sweet smile, "I will destroy you."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Totally a Yandere." Touko stage whispered. The girls busted out giggling. They calmed down after a while, still giggling every time one of them made eye contacted with each other.
"So," Dawn said after a comfortable silence washed over them, "I'll need your reports by tonight."
"I still get bothered whenever I think of last night," Touko growled.
"Our guys took one hell of a beating," Misty agreed.
Dawn gave a sympathetic smile, "Don't worry, we'll make them pay."
"Damn right we will," Misty snorted.
Leaf took off her glasses to wipe off a smudge of dirt, "Gather your team tonight, I have something to discuss." Her tone took that of 'No bullshit'.
"Of course," May nodded.
"By the way," Touko started, "How's Alyssa?" She asked sincerely.
"Yeah," May joined, "I haven't seen her in a while." Her eyebrows furrowed in worry.
Leaf smiled fondly, "She's fine, I just told her to stay home for a while. She's been coughing for a few days now." She dropped her smile at the memory of the young girl coughing in pain in the middle of the night.
Dawn placed a comforting hand on the brunets shoulder, "I'm sure she'll be fine," She said reassuringly.
"Plus!" Lyra exclaimed, "You have us to help you!" She grinned a toothy grin.
Leaf looked down and smiled, "I know."
"D'aww!" May cooed, "She's blushing!"
Dawn swatted May's shoulders, "Stop it," She said with a stern look, but broke out in a smile, "Take a picture," She stage whispered.
"I will hurt you two later," Leaf promised.
"We love you, too." May and Dawn said in unison.
They enjoyed the rest of the lunch, knowing quite well that as soon as the sun sets, their hidden personalities will come out and hunt.
