Dousing the Fire 3: Rule Breaker
"What exactly are you trying to do to my friend, Shinou!" exclaimed by the person who had just blasted the door open. It was Yuuri who was with Wolfram.
Murata was sure that he doesn't enjoy this scene at all. He glanced at Yuuri, his eyes moving sideways. The look on Yuuri's face was astonishment and shyness. Murata wanted to speak but his throat became dry all of a sudden. He turned to look at Shinou, hoping that he would at least do something about the situation. Instead, he only saw pure annoyance in the previous King's eyes. This is not good. Shinou placed his lips close to Murata's ear, tempted to nip the boy's ear. Given their situation, he can save that for later and even get something better after this. And so, he whispered softly in his adviser's ear.
"We'll continue this later after I'm done here."
Murata jerked back, slightly annoyed but definitely embarrassed. Shinou smiled sheepishly at his cute adviser and looked at Yuuri with a naughty expression. Yuuri gulped as he felt the hair on his neck stand.
"Well, I was just narrating what happened between my girlfriend and I to your FRIEND." Shinou said, emphasizing the word 'friend'. Murata almost wanted to laugh at the lame excuse Shinou had just made. If Murata had been Yuuri, he would have easily countered that statement and win the argument.
"Was it really necessary for you to act it out on this wimp's friend?" Wolfram stated the words that were on Murata's mind. Murata had forgotten that Wolfram was there…and why was he with Yuuri, anyway? Are they friends now? Wait, he can use that to change the topic. Murata grinned although deep inside, he wanted to sigh and reprimand Shinou for making him a part of his act.
"Heh~ I can see that you two are friends now, aren't you? Nice move on your part, Shibuya." Murata teased, resting his chin on the back of his hand. Suddenly, the two had surprised looks in their faces, as if they haven't realized that. After 30 seconds, both of them blushed, especially Wolfram. Shinou laughed.
"For someone who despises commoners, it's a very shocking fact that you consider Yuuri your friend, Wolfram." Shinou stated, grinning at them.
"Hmph! As if I have a choice after he took me to become his Queen! I have no interest in becoming friends with a commoner especially with a wimpy fellow like him!" retorted Wolfram. Yuuri suddenly became agitated.
"What? I thought we are already friends?" yelled Yuuri at Wolfram.
"Shut up, wimp! I never said that!" Wolfram snapped, now facing Yuuri.
"Stop calling me a wimp!" Yuuri countered to Wolfram's statement, forgetting the original topic. Murata and Shinou laughed at both of them. As Murata and Shinou expected, the two of them look cute together. They fit each other.
"Already being this friendly with him…You're making me jealous, Shibuya." teased Murata, smiling widely as he stand up. Yuuri looked at Murata with an astonished face. He expected him to at least help him but anyway, it was Murata after all so that was kind of impossible. Murata likes teasing him sometimes. And that sometimes is happening now.
"Mura-" Yuuri was about to say something when the bell suddenly rang. Murata smiled even more and clapped his hands.
"Okay! Classes are gonna start soon! We need to head back now!" Murata pushed both Yuuri and Wolfram out of the room without looking back at Shinou. The three of them headed back to their classroom with the cute couple still arguing about the 'wimp' thing. Shinou, on the other hand, smiled as he watched Murata head back to their classroom. If he has a rope right now, he would have probably used it to tie Murata close to him. The very words Murata had said earlier made him thought of only one word to describe his cute adviser. The word is 'naughty'. He let himself chuckle as he also head back to their classroom.
"I'll punish you later for being a naughty little boy."
And that, he will really do.
…
…
…
When they entered the classroom, everyone looked at them with wide eyes, as if they had seen an alien or something. Conrad stared at Yuuri until the moment he sat beside him. Yuuri sighed and Conrad turned to look at Wolfram whose arms were folded across his chest. Conrad smiled.
"You made him talk to you." Conrad said, looking at Yuuri. Yuuri felt a smile spread across his face. Now that he thinks about it, he did made Wolfram talk to him.
"Yeah, I guess I did." Yuuri replied happily.
"Would you tell me what happened?" Conrad asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah, sure. Why-" Yuuri was cut off by the loud banging of their door. Everyone turned their attention towards the door that flew open, only to see a weird machine that looked like a moving table come in the room. When the door had finally closed, he saw a pretty redhead with energetic blue eyes pushing her weird machine with confidence. She is probably in her mid20's and is without a doubt, what people would call an alpha female. Everything about her is energetic, full of life. The curl on her ponytailed hair, the spark in her eyes, and the look on her face say it all. She is definitely a unique teacher.
"Okay, class! I'm Anissina von Karbelnikoff, your chemistry and physics teacher!" their teacher who introduced herself as Anissina said. She examined the flabbergasted faces of her students, as if she was used to getting this reactions every day. She stopped to take time and examine Yuuri's and Murata's face. Murata gave Anissina a smile while Yuuri forced himself to smile. Anissina smiled contented and suddenly pointed to her 'awesome' machine.
"Since no one seems to have a question, I'll start my lecture with my new invention, RULE BREAKERS ARE GONNA BE CAUGHT-KUN!" She said with conviction, not embarrassed with what she had just said. Everyone had just stared at her as if she had just spoken in alien language. They kept on staring at her invention that looked like a table with two gray straws attached to it. But it was not her invention that made them keep quiet at all…It was the name of her invention. Could someone really name their inventions that long and lame? Yuuri felt the urge to question her if that thing really works.
"Don't try to. Nothing good will come out of it." Conrad whispered to Yuuri as if he was reading Yuuri's mind. Yuuri chuckled softly. Well, like they say, 'Take it from the expert'. He wouldn't want to make his day worse. So, he just kept quiet to avoid drawing her attention to him. Only to his dismay….Anissina suddenly looked at her with a smile that made Yuuri want to go to the clinic.
"You!" Anissina declared, pointing a finger at Yuuri. Yuuri jerked back and both Conrad and Wolfram looked at Yuuri with shock.
"Y-yes?" Yuuri said, his voice slightly uneven. He can see the worried look on Conrad's face and the surprised but concerned look on Wolfram's face.
"You will be the first one who will be able to try my wonderful invention!" Anissina declared once more. Yuuri wanted to shake his head badly to inform his teacher that he doesn't want to but he also feels curious about the invention. What could the invention possibly do to him, right? And so, Yuuri stood up slowly, as if unsure if he really wanted to try it. But, curiosity won so he walked towards the rule breaker something machine of Anissina's.
"Hope that your FRIEND has a superb stamina to endure this." Shinou whispered to Murata who was sighing. Murata looked at the blonde beside him and smiled.
"I'm sure he can. He played baseball back then." Murata whispered back, only to gain a smile from Shinou. He can't help but examine Shinou's face. Shinou, on the other hand, just stared at him lovingly which made him want to scold Shinou for no reason at all.
"Hm? Is something wrong, my dear adviser?" Shinou asked innocently. Murata sighed and turned his attention to Yuuri.
"You better be ready for my scolding later." Murata informed Shinou with a sadistic smile on his face. Shinou, for the first time, felt a shiver on his spine. It was not out of fear, but rather, out of excitement. Oh, how much he loves to beat the boy of his own game. So, with a grin, Shinou turned his attention to the chaos that was about to be weaved in front of them. "YOU better be." whispered Shinou to himself.
And so, when Yuuri was finally beside the machine, he now realized that the machine was really weird. It had a thing that looked like a gray straw attached to it and a globe that looked like it was their school. He turned to look at Anissina and then at the machine. What idea could have possibly possessed her mind to make her think to make this weird invention of hers?
"Uhm, what ma-"Once more, before Yuuri can finish his sentence, Anissina had cut him off when she suddenly put a sort of helmet on his head. The helmet was connected to the machine with 2 curly wires and this made Yuuri think of a time bomb, the one in the movies where the main character needs to cut either the blue or the red one. Yuuri can feel sweat drops forming like pearls on his forehead.
"All you need to do is to think…THINK of all the possible rules that students can break. That is all you need to do." Anissina reassured him. Unfortunately, that doesn't make him feel any better. Sure, he knows what rules students usually break but, really? That's all he needs to do?
"Okay. I can do this." Yuuri took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He started to think of all the rules that students usually break. Loitering around the school during class hours...Vandalizing some of the tables of the school…Being involved in fights…Uhm…What more…Cheating during exams…Yuuri had thought of everything he can but the machine did not move a single bit. It was still.
"No! You need to concentrate more! You need more focus to do this!" Anissina exclaimed, eager to make her invention work. Yuuri wiped the sweat on his forehead and took a deep breath before doing it again. But like the first time, nothing happened. So, after he failed, Anissina just made him do it again. And that happened for about 30 minutes. Anissina made him try her invention again and again until Yuuri can feel his headache slowly evolving into a migraine.
"Hmm…Why can't it work…?" Anissina asked herself, still wanting to show her students her invention. "Ah~ you might not be cut for this job!"
"Ha?" was all Yuuri could ask. After making him think the same infuriating thing over and over and over again for the whole 30 minutes, she's just going to conclude that he isn't qualified to make her damned invention to work? Yuuri heaved a sigh and was about to resign to his seat when Anissina suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Wait! We still have another option! Come on! I'll let all of you witness my invention!" Anissina was about to drag Yuuri when Gunter suddenly emerged from the door like he was there the whole time. Upon seeing Yuuri's fatigued face and Anissina's invention, his whole system turned from calm mode to panic mode. He immediately grabbed Yuuri's other arm and attempted to pull him, only to be stopped by Anissina.
"What are you doing, Gunter? We are in the middle of our class. Kindly go out." Anissina said calmly.
"What? You are making him try that weird invention of yours again! You're hurting the King of Shin Makoku high!" Gunter exclaimed, tugging Yuuri's arm.
"He is my student as of the moment, Gunter. It doesn't matter if he's the King or not." Anissina argued, pulling Yuuri harder. Yuuri's headache finally evolved into a migraine. All he wanted to do was for someone to help him while Gunter and Anissina is playing tug of war out of his arms. So, he looked at Conrad, Murata, and Wolfram…only his mistake was to look at Wolfram. His Queen's face was annoyed, probably because of the ruckus he had made. But no, that was not it.
"You two-timer! You already have a Queen and yet, you chose to flirt with those 2 idiotic teachers!" Wolfram yelled, slamming his fist to his table. Yuuri felt his migraine becoming worse.
"I'm NOT flirting with anyone! Conrad! Help me!" exclaimed Yuuri, wanting to escape the 2 adults.
"Who are you calling an idiot, you selfish loafer?" exclaimed in chorus by Gunter and Anissina.
"What? You're calling me a selfish loafer?" argued Wolfram, becoming more involved in the argument. Conrad stood up and tried to calm Wolfram down but it was futile.
"Come on…Why are you fighting?" Yuuri finally said, tired of the situation where in Anissina and Gunter kept on pulling his arms while arguing with each other and with Wolfram.
"Don't you get it that we are arguing because of you?" the three exclaimed in chorus, making Yuuri surprised. What? His fault? That was ridiculous.
"What? You are actu-" Yuuri, was once again, cut off but this time, not by Anissina.
"What is the entire ruckus about?" Gwendal's voice boomed in the room making all of them silent. He looked pretty irritated upon seeing Yuuri to be in the middle of this. Suddenly, Anissina let go of Yuuri's rigid arm.
"Gwendal!" said Anissina happily, which made Gwendal felt chills run on his spine. Yuuri can see the changes in Gwendal's face as Anissina explains to him her new invention. From his usually stern expression, it slowly turned into a face with fear and anxiousness, his sweat drops evident on his forehead. And finally, the unexpected thing happened. Gwendal ran into the hallway as Anissina force him to wear the helmet she made Yuuri wear. Everything went crazy after that. Wolfram and Conrad suddenly chased after them as Gunter made sure of Yuuri's condition, ignoring the students who were staring at their stern principal run along the hallway as if hell was chasing him. Well, Gwendal probably knew that hell was indeed chasing after him. And Yuuri learned something the hard way. Yuuri had finally learned that "Curiosity killed the cat".
…
…
…
The rest of the afternoon was declared to be a free time for students after the students had just witnessed the humiliating scene of the symbol of authority in their school run along the hallway just because of a chemistry/physics teacher was chasing after him. So, students can do anything they want. They could go home, go to the library, sleep in the infirmary, or anything they like. For Yuuri, it was to go home to get some rest.
"Hey Murata, I'm going home. Want to join me?" asked Yuuri to Murata who was already carrying his bag. Shinou had suddenly appeared behind Yuuri before Murata could answer him.
"Sorry, but he has to stay with me for a while, if you don't mind." Shinou said, smiling at Yuuri. Yuuri had just smiled, not wanting to say anything to Shinou.
"Okay. Bye, Murata." Yuuri bid farewell before he went out of the room. Murata sighed and glared at Shinou.
"Ready to continue checking my papers?" inquired Shinou innocently, ignoring Murata's glare. Murata shook his head and suddenly walked out of their room, walking towards the direction of the student council room where the accident during their lunch had occurred. Shinou grinned and followed Murata happily.
As Shinou closed the door of the room, Murata had already set himself to check Shinou's papers. Shinou suddenly chuckled, drawing Murata's attention to him.
"That was pretty naughty of you to do that." Shinou stated, leaning against the table, his hands in his pockets.
"Excuse me?" Murata asked, unsure of what Shinou was talking about. Shinou chuckled and walked behind Murata, hugging the boy from behind. Murata protested a little but stopped when he realized that he was only making Shinou happier with it. He sighed and asked Shinou without looking at him.
"What are you honestly talking about? I really have no idea what set you off." Shinou smiled suddenly and kissed the boy's hair. Murata felt a flush on his face.
"I honestly don't want you lying about being jealous of Wolfram. The way you say it sounds so real that it actually makes me so~ jealous." Shinou whispered playfully, hugging his adviser tightly but not suffocating him. Murata scoffed. He never knew that that was what actually set him off.
"Well, you started it anyway. It was my only way of getting even." Murata said as calm as he can but his voice was slightly uneven. Shinou suddenly buried his face gently into Murata's neck. Murata shivered making Shinou more entertained. Shinou looked at him straight in the eyes. Shinou's eyes were full of mischief and at the same time, they were affectionate.
"You didn't like it when I lied about me having a girlfriend?" That question made Murata's heart skip a beat. Did he? No, that can't be.
"I couldn't care less if you have a girlfriend." Murata tried to say it as casually as possible, but he only gained a soft chuckle from Shinou. He stared at Shinou curiously. Why was he laughing? Was that funny? Shinou suddenly gave Murata's neck a kiss, making Murata shiver because of the contact.
"Shi-Shinou!" Murata exclaimed, pushing Shinou's head away from him. Shinou immediately pulled away but did not break the embrace.
"Sorry…" Shinou's voice was sincere. Murata looked down to his feet, unsure of what to really do or feel at this moment. So, he did what he thinks he should do. He ruffled Shinou's hair gently and without looking at him, said "It's…okay. It's not like you listen to me all the time, anyway."
Shinou smiled ever so gently and hugged his adviser tightly, making Murata moan.
"Come on, Shinou. I'm not letting you hug me just to suffocate me. I'm actually not allowing you to embrace me, perverted King." Murata complained. Shinou chuckled.
"I'm actually not planning on just hugging you." Shinou admitted then suddenly kissed Murata's cheek. This made Murata blush lightly. Shinou felt the urge to continue teasing the boy.
"I'm going to check your papers. Don't disturb me." Murata tried to change the topic by trying to focus on the papers while Shinou was still hugging him.
"Yes, sir." Shinou said playfully, obviously not planning to submit to his adviser's wish. He loved the look on the boy's face when he's working. He admired the boy's dark orbs, his soft raven hair, and his white skin. He admired everything about his cute adviser. So, without warning, Shinou nipped Murata's ear only to be hit by a pile of papers on the forehead.
"Ouch…" Shinou chuckled and snuggled his face closer to Murata's.
"Shinou!" Murata complained, slightly irritated but deep inside, was really happy.
…
…
…
Gwendal hated it. He always had and will always hate it. He hated Anissina's inventions. He hated it when she was making him test it. And now, he has no other choice but to obey Anissina's orders. He knew how many times Anissina's inventions failed. 99 out of the 100 inventions of Anissina had already failed and caused him trouble and migraine. This new invention of hers might be the 100th time that her inventions failed. Still, the crazy but definitely pretty teacher beamed at him with enthusiasm at his very own office. Gwendal's office was not the one to be expected by the students. It was not the typical office with books and mahogany cabinets. Actually, every girl might actually love the principal's office, given by the decorations that are in the room. The room was filled with stuff animals that were knitted by none other than Principal Gwendal himself. Gwendal sat on his chair, rubbing his temple.
"Enough with this nonsense already, Anissina. Nothing good will come out of this." Gwendal tried to make his way out but his words were not heeded by his childhood friend.
"I see that you still practice what I taught you." Anissina stated happily, looking at the stuff animals the principal had knitted. Gwendal ignored what she had just said and focused his attention to the machine in front of him. He wanted to destroy it so badly.
"Take that thing away from my school before you destroy another building." Gwendal stood up and pushed the machine towards the door when Anissina had suddenly put the helmet on his head.
"What the-" Gwendal started to protest but Anissina's laugh made him lose all hope. It was indeed inevitable.
"Now, go Gwendal! Find those students who are breaking the rules of Shin Makoku High!" Anissina urged, pushing Gwendal outside the door. Since he no longer had any options left, he just wanted it to be done as soon as he can. So, with his full concentration, he recited in his mind all of the rules that are not allowed to be broken by students. Anissina grinned as her suspicions were right. Gwendal, being the principal of this school, will be the one who will be so eager to catch those who break the rules. Gwendal always abide to the rules and will do anything to follow it.
"Are you making my brother test you crazy inventions again, Anissina?" Wolfram appeared behind them, his arms crossed across his chest. Anissina suddenly broke into a smile and pointed at her invention. Wolfram leaned forward.
"I-It-It's moving!" Wolfram exclaimed, surprised that it actually moved. The two gray straws moved violently and then, at the globe, a red spot appeared on the northwest part of the shool. Anissina and Wolfram leaned forward to pinpoint the exact location.
"It's…the rooftop…?" Wolfram tilted his head. What could people possibly do at the rooftop? Vandalize the walls? Anissina and Wolfram looked at each other and then at Gwendal. Gwendal's forehead was breaking into sweat as he removed the helmet and slammed it to the floor.
"It's the rooftop, right?" Gwendal asked as they started to jog towards the rooftop. Wolfram nodded as they started to run already. Students tend to escape fast, but with Gwendal with them, their chances of escaping will be less. They ran hurriedly in the staircase and when they finally opened the door of the rooftop, they cannot believe their own eyes. They did not expect that person to break rule number six of the school that inappropriate actions are punishable by 3 days of suspension. And by inappropriate actions, you already know what I mean. Wolfram can feel his chest tighten and wanted to roar like a lion to scare the two persons in front of him. Wolfram clenched his fist and stepped forward.
"Yuuri…" Wolfram hissed, glaring at Yuuri. Before Yuuri can actually explain his self, Gwendal stepped forward and glared at the two people in front of him.
"What is happening here? Explain yourselves, Conrad Weller and Shibuya Yuuri!" Gwendal stated coldly at the 'couple breaking rule number six'. A shirtless Yuuri sat up and Conrad immediately helped him. Wolfram cannot help but glare at his commoner brother and his King. He wanted to punish them for what they are doing. They cannot argue their way out. It was obvious. Upon seeing a shirtless Yuuri being pinned down the floor by Conrad who was looming above him with an affectionate expression on his face, everyone can conclude the same thing…They were about to do something if only Wolfram, Gwendal, and Anissina did not interrupt them.

NOTE: LOL, I almost made a rated m scene during the Shinou and Murata's time in the student council room. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I hope that this one is better than the first two. I really do hope this is better. ^^
I don't know if there are Conrad x Yuuri fans out there but I also like that pairing but not as much as YuuRam. I just added a slight Conrad x Yuuri to make a conflict. Once again, thank you for those who reviewed and read Dousing the Fire! Thank you very much! I hope that I did not disappoint any of you with chapter three. *sweatdrops* So once again, your comments, suggestion, and reactions are greatly appreciated! I hope that everyone enjoyed and will continue reading dousing the Fire! *smiles*
