Chapter 10
"Inspection of class!" Miss Neko exclaimed
"That's right, I was sent to inspect and evaluate your teaching methods, starting with your class, it sharn't take long. Just a couple of days"
"a couple of days! Awww!"
"don't worry about it miss neko, if your teaching is up to scratch then I can move on straight away" Fukomashi grinned.
"well, ok then if that's your job, class starts at nine"
"I'll be there"
The following morning
The news that Mizore and Kasai were getting married spread thought out the school in a matter of hours. According to Mizore some of her fan club had seen the ring on her finger and assumed the worse. The fans were distraught at Kasai, but kept their distance. They knew if they got in the way then Mizore would most probably freeze them. The best they could hope for is something bad to happen to the two of them, and then jump in when she was single. When Kasai was on his own he was often congratulated with other people of the school. Mizore stalked and kept a close watch on him, careful that he didn't spend too long with anyone else, but she didn't need to. Kasai always just said "thanks" and moved on without a second glace. Mizore smiled whenever this happened and lately she'd been smiling a lot.
"Good morning class! Today an inspectioneer has come to evaluate our school starting with this class, please treat him with the up most respect!"
"Pleased to meet you I am Mr. Fukomashi"
"Fukomashi!? I've heard that name somewhere!" Kasai thought taking in the business like appearance of the man.
...
"Mizore, could interview you about Ms. Neko's Classes, in private please." Staring down Kasai, who was holding her hand.
"anything she says, she can say with me!"
"That won't do BOY! Now run along and leave us please." Kasai kissed Mizore on the check told her he'll see her at the dorm and turned the corner.
"Mizore, please follow me." He said leading her down the opposite hallway. Almost bursting out with laughter he led her towards his office.
Mizore now had a feeling for the first time in her live she now was being watched, and she was. As Kasai stalked her down the hallway, making very little sound and peeking around corners. Finally they came to the office.
"Please, come in" Kasai pressed his ear to the now closed door and listened. "It has come to my attention that someone has proposed marriage to you. drink?"
"no."
"sure?"
"certain"
"well, don't you think that it's a huge step?"
"no. I love him"
"but is it covered love?"
"What do you...?"
"I mean surly someone the same age, more insecure and has a criminal record could never satisfy you in a relationship. Perhaps he's blackmailing you, or beating you. you must have some doubts about him..."
"The only doubt I have is what our children will be like... Fire or Ice" Kasai smirked as Fukomashi was shocked into silence. Then finally.
"have you had sex with him yet?"
"Does that concern you?" Mizore asked slyly
"did he satisfy?"
"no answer!" she shouted
"are you sure you don't want it bigger..."
"Pervert!" Mizore glared "if all you have to ask me is our relationship then I have no need to talk"
"WAIT!" he shouted forcing her down. "I am you arranged marriage it should be me marrying you! not that bastard!"
"I'm sorry my mind is set."
"Then I can't have you... no one can!" Kasai couldn't take any more. He forced the door down and saw the scene of Fukomashi on top of Mizore whose hand became ice and held in place by an enormous arm. "You're the one who killed my parents aren't you. I see it in your eyes!"
"no! You're the one who's guilty!" Fukomashi lied as he now pinned Kasai down on the wall.
"You know, I think it's time for a public execution..."
XXXX
On the roof top of yokai academy, Kasai and Fokomasi faced each other, one victorious the other raged in defeat.
"I will not allow you to do this shit!" Kasai yelled
"Hahaha, don't you get it I've won! And all I had to do was bide my time!"
"fuck you, you haven't won yet!"
"I fail to see that!" Fokomashi laughed.
"you stand powerless, your girlfriend will either marry me or YOU will die..."
"then why the hell is this execution for her!?"
"Because I want to see you suffer, if she accepts my proposal for marriage then I will have you brought down to take her place at the stake, either way one of you die today."
"then it'll be you!"
"boy! I didn't die eight years ago, why the hell don't you think I'll die today, that's right, I LIED, it was me that killed your parents, under your now godparents instructions they wanted you gone. And I obliged."
"bastard!"
"And I intend to marry Mizore today, tell me, is she good... in bed? Imagine that, execution, falling in love and marriage all in the same day!"
"...you... how... this ...isn't Human."
"boy! We are monsters and devils and demons. We are not human and I don't feel remorse or guilt. You should feel the same! I've torn your world up bit by bit, and now I'll take it from you today."
"Mizore will never marry you!"
"no. I don't think so either... but it's worth an ask even to save your life..."
"you're a liar and ... And...a"
"go on... say it... Boy!"
"I'm not a boy! I'm someone who've you pissed off."
"hahahaha! Try it." as one of Fokomashi's fingers turned into a red hot talon and plunged into Kasai's shoulder, which bleed heavily, Fokomasi turned and left the roof "enjoy the show!"
XXXX
"Marriage is forbidden for any student under the age of eighteen!" Fokomasi demonstrated to the crowd "miss shirayuki has offered her hand to the boy known as Kasai, a murderer and a thief. His only interest is personal gain!"
Kasai could only watch as he was pinned down overlooking the execution, he looked on as Mizore's bleeding face stared down emotionless. He loved her so much but his hands were bound and he could not move...
XXXX
"MOKA! MOKA!" Tuskune shouted racing down the hallway "damn! Yukari! Gin! Kurumu! Anybody!" the club room door slammed open and appeared Moka Yuari Kurumu and gin.
"Mizore being executed! Like I was almost done!"
"WHAT! Under what reason?!"
"Underage Sex and marriage, it's outrageous!"
"what! They can't prove that! Besides marriage is legal as they have both parties' family sign!"
"that's the problem! Kasai's family, foster parents didn't!"
"that would make sense but execution! And to Mizore! Uncalled for!" Gin shouted.
Fukomashi whispered in Mizore's ear "join me in marriage now, or burn in hell, Ice Bitch!" Mizore spat out he lolly pop at Fokomasi, who coward and then raged.
"You owe me a new lolly" she said slyly.
"so be it!" as Fokomashi dropped down the torch and lit the stake, he tried to act innocent, teasing her as he roared with laughing.
"not so fast!" Inner Moka had appeared in front of the execution stand flanked by Tsukune and Yukari.
"an s-class is certainly no match for me. You must be joking! AHHHHHHHHH!" Fokomashi transformed into a thirty foot tall, blood red demon, with black rams horns and black tail which sized Yukari before she could cast anything and threw her towards the building. Her wand snapped and she landed with a thud, and was knocked unconscious
"bastard!" Moka shouted as she gilded and up and power kicked the devil in the face,
"Puny vampire, know your place!" and he flicked her playfully and she was thrown back
"bring it!"
XXXX
"Yahoo" Kurumu shouted at the top of Yokai tower. "Kasai!" she shouted as she swooped down and untied him
"kurumu! What are you doing here?"
"help you of course!"
"but why? We aren't friends"
"since when?!"
"since we meet, you hated me..."
Kurumu sighed "I know... I... love Mizore too... that's why I'm doing this"
"what!?"
"I love Mizore, but I know when she loves someone else... you deserve her!" Kasai, who had just been cut loose, fell to the ground. Blood pouring from his chest. "Kasai! You can't die not just yet, Look! Moka's putting up a good fight! You need to finish it!"
"But how can I look at the size of that demon!"
"come on! Where's the man who tried to save his entire family that one horrible night!"
"how do you?"
"it doesn't matter! Come on, save Mizore!"
"ok, give me a lift down!"
She grabbed Kasai's arms and floated him down. Fokomashi, who was too busy focusing on Moka, didn't notice them as Kurumu took off again and untied Mizore,
"what? NO!" Fokomasi shouted as Mizore was set free "no matter, I get to kill you both no... ow!" as Moka aimed another kick at Fokomashi's face, "that's it! No more games!" and he aimed a thunder bolt at Moka who curled up and lay down "hahaha" as she swatted Kurumu like a bug. Mizore, who had recovered quickly from being dropped by Kurumu aimed ice at the demon. "You think that's enough to stop me!"
Mizore was hit hard as she fell on the rubble and fainted "ha!" Fukomasi shouted. Kasai sprinted over to Mizore and shook her
"Mizore, are you alright, shit, Mizore! Mizore!"
"Kasai it's just you and me, let's finish what we started eight years ago!" Kasai, who was caressing Mizore's forehead, turned to the demon. "come on!" Fukomasi taunted "where's the boy who tried to stop me all those years ago!?"
"right... here" Kasai said with gritted teeth as he stood up turned around to face the demon and turned his hands into fire.
+play song: "the last fight" Bullet For My Valentine+
Kasai dashed forwards; images were racing in his mind,
Mizore smiling,
House burning,
Mizore blushing,
Father,
dying,
His fault,
"you're nothing",
Mizore kissing,
"Mind clear" and suddenly...
""shhhh, close your eyes count to five again" she said so sweetly. Everything slowed down... "feel better?"
"no, but at least the fire's gone." Kasai said looking at his hand.
"Kasai, during winter break, I want you... to meet my family... In my world?"
"I suppose I should after all, I am dating their daughter""
"one, two, three, four, five! And now "
"I want you to us a bit of emotion but also keep your focus."
"How do I do that?!"
"like this" she swooped in and kissed him. He embraced her kissed and took it in. He felt so right. "Concentrate" she whispered" Concentrate, emotion and concentration!"
Kasai opened his eyes again, and it was so clear now... This was it the last fight. Fukomashi was scared, but defiant. Kasai lunged and threw fire at the beast. A fist came to squat him Kasai slid ripping his jeans but he didn't care.
He snatched a sharp piece of metal, from destroyed Yokai, from the floor with a fire-free hand. And sprinted towards the 30 foot beast. Fukomashi aimed a kick; it hit and flew Kasai into the air. Onto the ruined roof of the academy Kasai shock it off and got to the ledge.
"Come on get me!" he shouted as Fukomashi giant hand grasped quickly around Kasai's torso. The thrust the knife into the engorged hand which fling him up in the air and he landed on the demon's shoulder where he thrust the metal in. Scrabbling up he then turned a hand to fire climbed on the beasts back and on to it head where he trust his hands into the demon's eyes, it worked, it was blind. Sliding down the torso he made a huge burn on the chest and stomach. The demon rived and screamed.
"not laughing now are you!" Kasai shouted
"agggggghhhhh! My eyes!"
Kasai's eyes turn red and bloodshot as he charged towards the beast aiming for the legs. This only angered the devil as he threw wild kick after wild kick that missed.
"I've got to find another weak spot."
Fokomasi, who was grabbing on to anything to try to get his bearings, grabbed the destroyed building for support, "that's it!" Kasai rammed his way through the fleeing crowd of school pupils and made it upstairs he hurried along the corridor, not stopping for anyone. The made it to the roof where, thank god, Fokomasi was still using for support, Kasai found a rope and threw it on his shoulder then threw himself on to the huge hand. He felt him land and tried to shake him off. This proved easier for Kasai who slid down his arm to his neck. Where he knotted the rope and threw it around his neck Kasai slid down his back out of reach. And began burning his back with his hand
"COWARD!"
"COWARD AM I?! I'm ten times the man you are!"
"NOOOO!"
Losing the fight, Fokomasi unconsciously was transforming back into human. He was shrinking and becoming paler. Kasai noticed this and swung on to the Yokai building and tied the end of the building. This was it... revenge, savoir, and death of Fokomashi. He was being hanged as he turned back into his human form... he flung about bursting for air which wouldn't reach him...
"kasai!" Mizore screamed behind him. Kasai froze. "let go..." she said simply. As she took his hand, "I know you didn't kill your father and I know you won't kill him. Let him go... I know how much this means to you! but please! Don't leave me!" through great effort, Kasai released and Fokomasi fell to the floor. He turned to her
"I thought I lost you..." they kissed.
XXXX
Two burn marks on his eyes and one on his chest were evident. "Please, kill me Kasai!" he groaned
Taking Mizore by the hand, he looked down upon the figure. "No, I know you kill my family. And I'll see you die... but not today" as he held Mizore's hand
"you can't do this!"
"That's for court to decide, I will see you die when his time does come" he turned and walked away from the refuse that was Fokomashi.
"I know how much that means to you" she said kissing him again
"what about your sister?"
"as they wanted me dead, they will be tried. My sister with live somewhere, and she'll be happy, don't worry."
"and about us?" Mizore sighed
"I love you. forever and always."
