Hola mi amigas (and amigos ^_~) and welcome to chapter 2 of "Shinigami at Bell Liberty"! YAY!!! I'm really excited that I was able to get this chapter done so fast, and I really hope y'all enjoy it! So without further ado, on with the fic!!!
Warning: There is quite a bit of bishie x bishie romance in this chapter, so if you don't like...then what the hell are you doing in a Yami No Matsuei/ Gakuen Heaven cross-over in the first place?
Disclaimer: As much as it pains me to admit it, I do not own the bishies of Yami No Matsuei or Gakuen Heaven...T.T...However, I do get to torture them, and this makes me incredibly happy!!! *evil grin*

Kazuki sighed as he leaned back in his comfortable, leather chair. Sometimes, he really hated being the chairman of Bell Liberty. Most of the time, Kazuki loved being the chairmen. There were definitely quite a few perks to having complete power over the school that he himself attended. Like being able to admit Keita, his lover, into the school. But sometimes, being the chairmen meant he had to deal with headaches like the one he had now.
Not only had yet another student transferred to the school in the middle of a semester, but a new teacher had been hired as well! And Kazuki couldn't remember authorizing any of it! And despite the fact that all the paperwork for both the new student and the new teacher contained his signature at the bottom, Kazuki had no memory of signing anything.
In fact, he hadn't even been aware of the transfer or the new hire until his secretary had come to remind him that both of them would be starting today. Yes, Kazuki had definitely been left out of the loop this time. And it was really starting to bug him.
How the could something like this have even happened? Kazuki thought to himself, messaging his temples. I'm the Goddamn chairman, for Christ sake! How could something as important as authorizing a student transfer or hiring a new teacher go through without my knowledge? And why don't I remember approving any of it?
Just then, Kazuki heard a soft knock on his door. Quickly composing his face into an expression that (he hoped) hid the confusion he was feeling relatively well, he called, "Come in."
Big, sky-blue eyes attached to a perpetually unruly mop of auburn hair peeked around the door. "K-Kazuki? Are you busy?"
Kazuki relaxed and smiled that tender smile that his lover's presence always seemed to bring out. "No, Keita. I'm not busy at all. Why, was there something you needed?"
Keita smiled nervously and entered the office, closing the door behind him. "No, I just wanted to check on you. You seemed preoccupied last night, and this morning at breakfast you barely ate anything," though Keita tried to keep his tone light, Kazuki could hear the worry in his voice.
"I just wanted to let you know that if something's bothering you, you can talk to me about it," Keita blushed and looked down, "I-I mean, if you want to, that is. You don't have to."
Kazuki felt a twinge of guilt for making his lover worry, but he also couldn't help the thrill of happiness he felt to know that Keita cared so much about him. Sighing, he motioned for the blue-eyed boy to come closer, "Come here, Keita."
Without hesitation, Keita walked across the spacious office and around the large desk to stand in front of his blond-haired lover. Kazuki wrapped his arms around the Keita's waist and gently drew the smaller boy to him until he was sitting on Kazuki's lap. Kazuki couldn't suppress the amused smile that came across his face as Keita blushed and looked away. He was just so cute.
"I'm sorry if I made worry," he said, placing a light kiss on the smaller boy's cheek, causing his blush to deepen. "I just have a lot on my mind right now."
Keita nodded, slowly winding his arms around Kazuki's neck. "I guess that's understandable. You are the chairman, after all, and with everything that's been happening lately..."
Kazuki stiffened, his hold on Keita reflexively tightening. Of course he knew what Keita was referring to, the recent murders of boys all over campus had been the talk of the school for weeks now, and as the chairman, he had the misfortune of knowing all the gruesome details firsthand. The older boy shuddered, his train of thought bringing images he'd do anything to forget back to the forefront of his mind.
"Yes, that's definitely part of it," Kazuki said carefully, then something occurred to him and he tilted his head to look the smaller boy in his lap in the eye. "Keita, please tell me you didn't come all the way here from the dorms...by yourself."
Keita didn't answer right away, fidgeting slightly in his lover's hold, but still keeping eye-contact. "W-Well, I didn't want to bother anyone to make them come with me, and besides, it's the middle of the day..."
Kazuki sighed in exasperation, "Keita, we've talked about this. Until whoever is committing these murders is caught, none of the students should be out alone for any reason," Kazuki further tightened his hold on his lover and rested his head on Keita's shoulder. "Especially you, Keita. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to you."
Keita chuckled, "Kazuki, you really worry too much—,"
"No, I'm serious, Keita," Kazuki said sternly, lifting his head to look his small lover in the face. "You didn't see the bodies, Keita. They weren't just killed. They were...destroyed. Whoever did this didn't just take their lives, they took...everything, absolutely everything, " Kazuki trailed off, once again fighting down the mental images. "Please, Keita. Please, just this once, do as I say."
"O-Ok, Kazuki," Keita replied shakily, more than a little unnerved by his lover's reaction. He quickly shook it off, though and smiled at the older boy, placing a hand gently on his cheek. "I'm sorry, Kazuki. I'll be careful, I promise. I love you."
Kazuki smiled back, all his earlier headache melting away at the sound of those three little words, just like it always did. "I love you, too, Keita," he replied, placing his hand at the back of his lover's neck and gently pulling him down for a kiss...
"Chairman!" his secretary cried, bursting through the door of his office. It took her a little while to register the scene in front of her. "E-Excuse me. P-Please forgive my intrusion, but..uh, there's something...that, uh..." The secretary turned her eyes away, blushing furiously and unable to make eye contact with her boss.
"Yes? What is it?" Kazuki snapped, a pit peevishly. He made a mental note to fire his secretary as he relinquished his hold on Keita, who by this point had turned a very interesting shade of red, and slid his small lover off his lap so he could stand up. "What is so important that you had to barge in here unannounced?"
"O-Oh, right," the secretary stuttered, Kazuki's angry voice apparently bringing her back to her senses. "We have a big problem, Chairman! It's the new transfer student, Kurosaki Hisoka. Student Council President Niwa-kun accidentally hit him with his motorcycle as Kurosaki-kun and the new teacher, Tsuzuki-san, were approaching the school!"
And just like that, Kazuki's headache returned ten-fold.

Oooh! A cliffhanger! Well, a small one anyway. Sorry, but I am a sadist, so this kind of thing will happen quite a bit. Anyway, I should have the next chapter out either tomorrow or the day after, so you shouldn't have to wait too long for the continuation.
Of course, I would be more motivated to type if you people would...REVIEW!!! I seriously need my review fix here! Please? Please review? PLEASE!!!!
Ok...now that that scary little breakdown is out of the way...see you next time!
Adios!
