I didn't realize it'd been so long since we last updated. I'm really, really sorry! Kirito and I have had band stuff like every day. That includes Saturdays! T-T
.:Scarlett's POV:.
Kirito was acting weird. For the past couple days, ever since his fight with Black Star, he wouldn't talk unless I asked him something, and then he would only respond with yes or no, which didn't make sense half of the time. When we got back from the DWMA, Kirito immediately disappeared to his room and wouldn't bother coming out, not even to eat.
The third night he tried doing this, I ran up the stairs to his room and started banging on the door.
"Kirito! Open the door!" I yelled, worried about my partner. "Kirito, come on! This is ridiculous!"
After about a minute of me screaming, he opened the door. As soon as he did so, my foot flew forward to rest between the door and the door frame.
"What?" Kirito asked, annoyance evident in his tone.
I stared at him. "What? You mean holing yourself up in your room for days is normal?"
He shrugged and tried to shut the door, only to realize that my foot was in the way. Rolling my eyes, I shouldered past him into the room.
To my surprise, it was cleaner than my room. Shaking my head, I turned toward Kirito. "There. Now you can't slam the door in my face. Look, I don't know what the huge issue is between you and Black Star, but you can't keep doing this."
Kirito shrugged and rolled his eyes. "Fine, I'll eat dinner rather than plot Black Star's demise in my room. That's what you want me to say, right?"
I stood there, slightly stunned. Kirito took the opportunity to start pushing me out of his room. "Now get out!" he yelled, slamming the door in my face.
Frowning, I went back downstairs, figuring I could try again later.
After a night of not really sleeping (I was trying to come up with something I could do to get Kirito out of his room), I went downstairs to fix pancakes. I got all of the ingredients out before I heard footsteps on the stairs. Surprised and happy, I said, "Good morning!"
Kirito mumbled something before walking to the table and sitting down.
Sighing, I made the pancakes and brought them over to the table, where Kirito had fallen asleep waiting.
Getting an idea, I walked up the stairs to grab my phone. I quickly found the tune I wanted, turned the volume up as loud as it could go, and put the phone by Kirito's ear. Then I hit the play button.
Because I really don't want to get killed, I'm not going to tell you what Kirito did. It was hilarious though. ^u^
Like nothing had ever happened, Kirito and I went to the DWMA an hour later. Today, we had Stein's class. Our class was loud like normal, at least until Stein rolled in.
You can always tell when Professor Stein is in a bad mood. Normally, he'll throw knives at you and just barely miss. On a bad day, he'll throw knives at you and you have to dodge until he finally stops. If you get hit, it's your own fault because your reflexes weren't fast enough. Luckily for us, bad days are rare.
And today was just perfect (I say that with as much sarcasm as humanly possible). As soon as Stein came in, he started throwing knives. No warning, no reason why, nothing. Just BAM! Knife thrown. If you were lucky, you could move an inch or two and the knife wouldn't hit you. It might hit the person behind you, but it wouldn't hit you. Unfortunately, most people weren't lucky.
By the time the bell rang, most people had been hit by one of said knives, even Maka. Kirito had managed to dodge the one thrown at him, but I got nicked by the blade in the arm. Black Star, though, probably had the worst injury. The bluenette had been standing on one of the desks, proclaiming his godliness to all of the world when Professor Stein threw a knife at him. It hit Black Star in his leg, and blood started gushing everywhere. Eventually, Black Star passed out, and Tsubaki had to take him to the nurse's office. Stein made us all take a sample of his blood and examine it under a microscope. I swear, you can actually see tiny organelles within the cell holding little swords and ninja stars.
So yeah, by the time the bell rang, everybody just wanted to get out of class. We were all wondering why Stein even bothered to show up at all when he said, "Kirito and Scarlett, I need to talk to you." Kirito and I froze, traded glances, and slowly made our way to Professor Stein.
Stein waited for the rest of the class to file out, which didn't take long as nobody wanted to get another knife thrown at them, though Maka did turn around to give us a sympathetic glance, before starting to speak.
"I recently heard a rumor about something regarding you two..." he started, not continuing in favor of staring at our faces. Kirito and I glanced at each other, confused.
Um, Kirito... You never actually robbed that bank, right? I asked through our link.
Of course not! At least, I don't think I did... Kirito trailed off, not sounding too sure of himself.
I rolled my eyes. Well, the next time you want to rob a bank, bring me along, okay? Wait, that's not what I wanted to say... Right! Next time, make sure you don't get caught. Yeah. That's what I was going to tell you.
Whatever you say...
Realizing Stein was speaking again, I stopped talking with Kirito and started paying attention.
"And so, since neither of you apparently have anything to say in regard to this, I guess w-" Stein was saying before being interrupted by me.
"Wait, what are we talking about?" I asked, confused.
Stein gave me an impatient look. "Were you not listening? There's a rumor going around about you two witnessing something you weren't supposed to. Something about, oh, I don't know, frogs and chainsaws."
"And?" Kirito asked. Not supposed to witness? What exactly did we witness? he asked.
I shrugged. That's a good question.
Stein grinned insanely. "I don't really know the details. After all, this is just a rumor. So," he said, leaning forward, "what exactly did you see?"
Kirito opened his mouth, but before he could start talking, I asked, "What is the rumor? Do tell exactly what you heard and from who." ...For which I got elbowed in the side, hard, by Kirito.
Scarlett, you can't talk to teachers like that! Kirito yelled. I winced, feeling a headache start forming.
Um, this teacher was throwing knives at us throughout class.
Do you really want him to start throwing them again?
Good point. I decided to shut up.
Stein sighed. "I guess you can't exactly tell me anything without knowing what you're supposed to tell me about." At this point, he began whispering excitedly, as though someone else was listening in on our conversation, but he just had to have it. "I heard that you saw a demon."
Do any of you watch Noragami? If you do, who are your ships?
