CHAPTER IIII MORE GROUNDINGS, NEW

COUPLES & PIERCINGS

The Next Day at School, 8:30…

That morning when the students arrived, they were told to report to the gym immediately. Mr. Leam was thankfully nowhere to be seen. But neither was Yzak.

The advisory lists were put up in the gym and once everyone figured out who their teacher was and what room they were in, they were to go there. It sure was turning out to be a strange beginning to the year.

"Hey Athrun, hey Athrun, hey Athrun, hey Athrun, hey Athrun."

"What do you want Kira?"

"How did it go with you-know-who last night?"

"You're actually asking?" Well, then I'll tell you: She almost puked in my mouth. She got so embarrassed that she ran home. But honestly, though, I don't care."

"Did you kiss her?" Kira asked smirking. "What?" Athrun asked. "Did you kiss her?" He repeated. "Isn't it obvious? Besides, even if you weren't an idiot, why should I tell you?" Athrun said, crossing his arms. "Because I'm her brother. Her twin brother. And since I'm her twin, I can make myself look just like her. And then we won't be fraternal twins anymore, we'll be identical twins and you're not gonna know which is which and it's gonna be really awkward," Kira said quickly. "Kira that doesn't make any sense…" Athrun pointed out. "Oh, yeah? How so?" He challenged. "Well for one your hair's brown, not blonde, and two, you're a guy," Athrun said. "Yeah, but I can bleach my hair and the only way you can tell if I'm a guy is if you pull my pants down," Kira threw back. "I have no problem with that," Athrun said. "Um… I'm going to go over there now…" Kira said walking away rather quickly.

In the Halls…

Cagalli was on her way to her new advisory. She didn't exactly like the room it was in. The detention room… right after the principal's office in the main hall.

When she passed the door to the principal's office and had her hand on the doorknob to the detention room, she heard shouting. It was coming from the principal's office. She cocked her head to the side then walked over to the door to the principal's office and opened it.

There was Yzak and Mr. Leam in the middle of a "Shouting Contest."

"Scar-faced little bastard!" Mr. Leam shouted. "Self-righteous, self-absorbed asshole!" Yzak screamed back.

"Pain in the neck!"

"Pain in the ASS!"

They stopped when they realized Cagalli was standing at the door with her mouth wide open. (Okay, wow... do you have fights like this with your principal? Heck, do you even fight with your principal?)

There was silence, which was broken by Yzak. "Oh, you're screwed now."

"I'm screwed? I could have sworn it's the other way around." He turned to Cagalli. "Does he pay you?"

"ALL RIGHT! THAT'S THE LINE!" She suddenly screamed then tackled him to the ground, grabbed him by the neck and just squeezed. Yzak stared in disbelief, but was quick to recuperate. "Cagalli, NO!" He shouted running over to them. "Your hands are too weak!" He took her place in squeezing his neck. (That's obviously from the Simpsons but man, it was so perfect) Cagalli grabbed a stapler off of Mr. Leam's desk and smirked evilly.

"I think you and I are going to get along just fine," Yzak said smirking just as evilly as she had. "Get the scissors, too."

An Hour Later…

The vice, the brilliant vice-principal was running around the school looking for Mr. Leam. Yes, the vice-principal Ms. Janart. She's not the brightest bulb on the tree…

"Has anyone seen Mr. Leam?" She asked, running into advisory 11's room. –This is Yzak's advisory.

"Try his office, genius," Yzak said snottily. She glared at him, then went to check the principal's office. The class began chatting again. "Hey! HEY! SHUT UP! I need to hear something!" Yzak shouted. Everyone shut up. And as they did there was a scream from the principal's office. Yzak burst out laughing. Everyone just looked at him.

"Yzak…" The teacher asked slowly, "Did you have anything to do with this?"

"Who me? Yes me! Who me? Couldn't be!" Yzak said in a singsong voice. "-Yeah, I did it."

"What did you do exactly?" The teacher asked. "I'm not telling. Either you can go find out for yourself or with any luck it'll be on the front page of the newspaper tomorrow," He answered. "Wow! The newspaper! You've really gotta screw up to get that!" Some kid remarked. "Shut up," Yzak snapped. The kid did just that.

The Next Day, 7:30 A.M…

"Yzak, the school called… they just told me you stapled some… inappropriate language to the principal's fore head, and cut his clothes and hair…" Ezaria said as Yzak came out of his room. "Well- he insulted Coordinators and called me some things… some bad things…'' Yzak said. "Oh, sure. You're such a liar," Ezaria said rolling her eyes. "You're grounded again."

"What!" He asked angrily, before giving up on arguing with her. It was just no use. So he stomped downstairs and out the door. "The one time I tell the truth, and she doesn't believe me!"Yzak muttered angrily as he sulked off to school.

"Hey, Yzak!" There came a shout from behind him. He turned to see Cagalli. Brace yourself… his new girlfriend… yup. When they "beat up" the principal, they kind of realized how alike they really are.

At the Hahnenfuss Residence, 7:45…

Shiho watched jealously from her bedroom window as Yzak and Cagalli walked down the street together, hand in hand.

"No one's going to take you away from me, Yzak… I'll make sure of it…" With that she went to her closet, threw it open and grabbed a big wad of cash from the back of it.

At the Amalfi Residence, 7:50…

"Nicol? Aren't you up yet? It's late!" Mrs. Amalfi shouted up the stairs to her son.

Nicol groaned weakly and rolled over in bed.

"Nicol! Now! Get down here!" She shouted even louder.

He groaned again and sat up.

"NICOL!" She screamed finally.

He got up and walked out of his room with great difficulty. When he was half way down the stairs, his impatient mother caught sight of him. Her face immediately looked worried. "Oh my goodness… Nicol, you're pale… come here, I want to check your temperature…"

Once again, Nicol groaned and walked the rest of the way down the stairs. She felt his fore head. "Oh, you're burning up…"

Nicol groaned- again- then fell flat on his face, unconscious. And all over the community, another handful of Coordinators fell with him.

At the School, 8:30…

The bell rang. The halls of the school remained deserted. Just 50 students were presently in the school. That's one fifth of the population.

Those 50 students, the majority Naturals- all went to the gym because there were only about four teachers still in the school, so they couldn't really keep things together.

"Everyone just calmly wait here until we can get things into order," Ms. Janart shouted over the 50 students. She then left the gym.

"All right! All the stupid Coordinators are dying as we speak!" A random Natural student shouted.

Everyone was quiet for a moment before there was the sound of that Natural being tackled and having his head beaten into the floor while he begged for mercy. "OH MY GOD! YZAK'S STILL HERE!"

"You bet your asses I'm still here. So does anyone have anything else they'd like to say about Coordinators while we're on the topic?" Yzak challenged after he finished beating the mouthy Natural.

"Um, I have a question," Another Natural spoke up. "Why aren't you sick?"

"I was. But I beat it over the summer," He replied.

Silence.

"OH LORDY! IT'S A FREAKIN' EPIDEMIC!" Kira- yes he's there- suddenly screamed. "And why aren't you sick?" The same Natural spoke up. "He probably is," Cagalli said. "But he's so stupid that his body just doesn't know how to react to a deadly virus."

Three Days Later, 12:00 p.m.…

School had continued on normally. Despite the fact that more then half the students were missing. The Coordinators because obviously they were all sick and the Naturals because of the strange events- the water balloon fight in the gym and the principal's psychotic outburst.

So, that explains that. Now back to school- with Yzak in the Councilor's Office… yeah, trust me- he needs it.

"Yzak; I know you've spent a lot of time in here and you're getting really sick of it-" he was quick to interrupt "Got that right."

His councilor sighed then continued "but I want to figure out why you're acting like this. I'm quite aware that you've always hated the principal, but you've never gone this far… it's not like you…"

"I don't know why I've been like this lately… before I came down with that Coordinator plague, I felt really rebellious… and even more so now…" He answered. "Hmm… that's interesting…" his councilor said thoughtfully.

Suddenly Ms. Janart's voice came over the intercom: "Early dismissal today, everyone. I guess that means your weekend is half a day longer…"

12:10…

The bell rang and– 49 students all came stampeding out of the school cheering: "Early Dismissal!"

Yzak and Cagalli however, decided to hang around the outside of the school and possibly… disturb the peace…

"Hey, my graffiti's gone…" Yzak observed. "Well it's replaceable…" Cagalli said. He shrugged. "We can spray paint he school later… wanna make out?"

"You read my mind," Cagalli said smirking.

"Hey, Yzak!" There came a shout. He looked to see- Dearka. "You look well…" He said flatly. "Yeah, thanks. My fever broke on the seventh day," Dearka said. "Aren't I lucky?"

"Well I think your luck just ran out," He said crossing his arms. "Oh, really?" Dearka asked. "How so?"

"You have detention for four months. I framed you." Yzak smirked. "Four months? That one less then last year. Ol' Leam's getting soft!" He laughed. Yzak rolled his eyes. "Would it kill you to get pissed off?"

"We're getting off the subject. I've got two questions for you. One- who's the girl?" Dearka asked. "Her name's Cagalli. And she's my new girlfriend," Yzak answered. "Yzak with a girlfriend? Surly that's a sign of the apocalypse," Dearka laughed then continued to his next question, ignoring his pal's death glare: "And is there any reason why you guys were dismissed early?"

"That, I can't explain," He answered. "I can tell you that," Cagalli spoke up. "Kira got really pale and passed out during PE. So my mother had to come down to here to bring him home. –I'm pretty sure they'll assume the plagues on the loose here and since they don't want any one else getting sick, they sent us all home. With any luck, school will be out until next Wednesday," Cagalli explained. "Gee, I finally get better and when I come back to school it's out," Dearka remarked. "Yeah, that's nice… Can you go now?" Yzak asked impatiently. "Yeah, yeah… I'm going…" Dearka muttered walking off. "Finally…" Yzak said. "- What were we doing again?"

"We were going to make out, remember?" Cagalli asked. "Oh, that's right," He said smirking. –And that they did.

1:30 At The Mall…

"OW! OH- THAT'S DEFINITELY THE CARTILAGE!" Shiho cried as she got the top part of her ear pierced. "Ow… okay… okay… I think- ouch- twelve piercings are good enough…"

"Well if you want more, I have some suggestions," The Gothy piercer with a Mohawk said. "I'm going Goth, not slut," Shiho said crossing her arms. "You know any good Goth shops?"

"Try Darkness, it's just around the corner," Said the Gothy piercer with a Mohawk. (Darkness? Oh my God...) "Thanks…" She muttered, standing up and walking out of the store while nursing her twelve new piercings: One in her eyebrow; on her left ear three in the lobe and one in the cartilage; on her right ear three in the lobe and one in the cartilage as well; a stud (ha ha... stud...) piercing on the left side of her nose; one in her tongue and last but not least, her lip. Yikes.

A/N: Uh... yeah... I should probably mention... Yzak's kinda got a thing for Goths so... yeah... that explains why Shiho's going Goth... Wow, everyone's so out of character... Oh, and by the way- Xx.Eternal Rain.xX, I've got bad news for you. Fllay's gonna do something to Nicol next chapter- trust me, you're probably not gonna like it...
