Chapter 7 – School

Saturday turned to Sunday and Yui spent most of that day convincing her friends the exchange students that were staying with her family were not totally and completely psycho. Of course the fact Takeru kept everyone hostage at sword point, followed by Loki feeding them dirt gum, didn't exactly help her defense; however, after much deliberation, Chikako and Akane agreed to still hang out with her as long as it they could meet anywhere except her house while she still had her special guests. Yui couldn't really blame her friends, though she did think they were overreacting ever so slightly, but then again, she couldn't really deny the sense of relief she felt knowing Chikako would no longer be flirting with Tsukito, nor would her friends be spreading odd rumors about the gods.

With her mission complete, she decided she could drop her guard a little and relax the rest of the day, spending quality time with her unearthly friends. She attempted to instruct them on how to behave in a human school in addition to describing the differences in her school versus their previous school, but Loki lit a smoke bomb behind Apollo, who jumped up and pouted. And then everyone started running around in a panic because smoke filled the room making sight and the ability to breathe a thing of the past. Yui wondered if she wished and prayed hard enough, if Zeus would please come and fetch her, take her away before school on Monday… No such luck.

Monday morning arrived bright and early and the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes, eight pairs of eyes – make that nine since there were pink beady eyes of a rabbit there as well – staring intently at her from above. A scream almost escaped her throat, but she somehow managed to swallow it for the most part, only a small squeak and gasp could be heard, "Wh-Wh-What are you doing in here?"

"Kusanagi Yui, you said we needed attending school early so that we could get registered and you could show us around," Tsukito stated.

Apollo was practically bouncing off the walls, "Fairy! How long are you going to sleep? We want to see your school!"

"Can you please leave so I can get dressed?" She asked politely, her face turning redder the longer they stood there.

It was as if they all just realized what they had done and each of the gods started to blush…except Loki, but before he could make a comment or pull some sort of prank, the others dragged him out of the room and slammed the door shut behind them.

Lying there as she listened to the shuffle of feet from the gods making their getaway, Yui ran a hand over her face and snickered a softly. Very little had changed with them and she took comfort in that, but now it was time to get up and face the day. This was not going to be fun, and it kind of felt like she was being graded on this...again. Maybe Zeus was watching everything for the enjoyment? Getting up, she glanced at the clock and noticed it was only about 30 minutes earlier than her normal time, and yet, she felt exhausted still, as if she could sleep another century and still not get enough sleep; which was not good considering she needed to stay on her toes to put out any fires her friends caused - literally and figuratively. How much trouble would they get in today? That was the million dollar question.

When she was ready, she dragged herself out of her room and joined the others in the dining room, where once again Tsukito had saved her a spot next to him. It was possible it considered it nothing more than a duty, and possibly his brother had made a suggestion. However it happened, she didn't care because the moment she saw that empty seat, her heart sped up a little and it made her fall for him even more. The others may have protested where she chose to sit (mainly Balder and Apollo), but she couldn't bring herself to care. It felt right to sit at the Moon God's side, to be next to him. And if the others didn't like it, then oh well, but she would never say that aloud.

If only the happy feeling would continue to last throughout the day...if only. Yui knew taking them to school with her would cause a disturbance. She just didn't expect the magnitude at which it happened.

Walking to school, the moment they crossed the threshold and stepped through the gates that officially put them on school property - actually about half a block before the school - other students stopped in their tracks and stared at the small entourage escorting the purple haired sword expert. Several even decided to follow the small group, and as the small group moved towards the main school building, the crowd around them grew. No one seemed to be able to hide their astonishment or surprise at seeing eight good looking men surrounding Yui. On one hand, she could understand their gaping, but on the other, she believed it was too extreme. Yes, the men with her were real gods who were beyond gorgeous and tended to stand out in a crowd of normal humans, each possessing some inherent quality that drew people towards them. Yui believed it was their godly nature. It was part of them, and even in the tabletop garden, their shackles had been unable to bind it completely. To tell them to turn it off...actually, she didn't think it was even a possibility. It was what it was.

The closer to the school, the bigger the crowd, and by the time they reached the five steps they needed to ascend to go inside, the crowd seemed louder and larger than that of a school assembly. The murmurs coming from the followers were almost deafening and people were asking questions such as, Who are they? Why are they with Kusanagi-senpai? Are they going to be students here?" All of the attention focused on her and the men, made Yui feel like she was under a microscope.

"A-Ano, are you n-new students here?" One timid girl questioned stepping forward.

"We are! Fairy…um, I mean we live with Yui-san!" Apollo announced loudly.

"Eh?!" Yui looked horrified as all eyes turned to her, burning holes into her being. Quickly, she tried to correct the misunderstanding, "NO! NO! NO! He means my family is hosting them while they stay here. They're exchange students!" As soon as she made her own proclamation, a few of the murderous glints that appeared in some of the girls' eyes disappeared. Only these men could bring this kind of hostility out in girls they had never met.

One of the more bold girls stepped forward and thrust her long pink hair behind her back, "Well, if that's the case, you are more than welcome to come stay at my family's mansion. I'm sure the accommodations will be much better and more to your liking than a small temple."

Tsukito tilted his head and said simply, "A temple is perfect for us. We can commune with our surroundings." The other gods quickly agreed with him.

"But it can't be very comfortable. At my house, all of your needs would be seen to. You will be pampered like princes."

"Aniki already told you, we don't need it and we are staying at the temple where we belong!" Takeru growled. It took effort to keep a cool head. Here, his powers were not shackled or hinders, and if he wanted to, he could wreak havoc on the school...any of the gods could.

Before anything else could be said or done, another girl stepped forward and snidely retorted, "I believe Yui-senpai and her friends already gave you their answer. Now back off, Haruko!" She had shoulder length blonde hair and a menacing air surrounding her.

"Michi, I should have known you would stick your nose in where it doesn't belong. Still a Yankee at heart. Just remember, if you lay a finger on me, you'll regret it," the pink haired Haruko declared snootily. Her family was rich and she liked to think she ruled the school.

Michi smirked, "I may still be a Yankee at heart, but at least I'm not a spoiled princess who likes to throw herself at men in an effort to seduce them. Want to know what that makes you?"

Gasping, Haruko opened her mouth to speak and nothing came out. Open and close and open again...finally, she managed to shriek, "You're just jealous of my family, my beauty, and my money."

"Who would be jealous of you? Now I suggest you get out of Yui-senpai's way and let her in the school."

Haruko glared at her opponent, "This isn't over!" Stomping her foot, she marched away from the crowd and allowed Yui and her friends to enter.

"Thank you, Michi-san," Yui smiled at her friend.

"No problem. That girl needs to learn a lesson or two. Besides, it's fun to see how fast I can make her throw a temper tantrum."

"Don't cause trouble."

"I would never."

"Yes, you would. If you don't want to get kicked out of school, leave her alone."

"Fine!" Her eyes fell upon the small group of good-looking men with her friend, "Who're they?"

Yui told her, "Exchange students who are staying with my family. I need to take them to the office to report in."

"Go for it, but I expect a better introduction than that later," Michi smirked.

Nodding, the purple haired girl opened the front door and entered the school. It would take another thirty minutes before they would actually reach the office because people crowded the hallway trying to catch a glimpse of the new students. And when they finally made it to class, the sensei was unable to teach morning lessons due to the buzz surrounding the new eligible men that sat amongst the students.

Yui's eyes would drift to each god in turn, finally settling on Tsukito. Much like he did before, his hand furiously moved as he tried to write down everything their instructor said word for word even if it wasn't part of the planned lesson. It reminded her of their group study sessions at the other school, and part of her longed to return there again.

Everyone wanted to know these men. Boys wanted to hang around them to attract the girls, or beat them up because they were competition, and girls wanted to flirt with them. And Yui found herself happy for their return and irritated at the same time because once again she had to supervise them, teaching them human ways, as well as watch, her jealousy increasing every time someone tried to talk to Tsukito. She felt doomed and hopelessly lost, and the worst part was, this was only the morning of their first day. They had a long way to go before they reached the end of their journey.
