AN: This chapter is rather important and is told from Princess, Aihi, and Shion's perspectives. Remember she is the school principal and is much like herself in the anime. She's nice, but rather ominous. Anyway, the pairing is still Sen and Yoshimori, but we will be seeing more of Gen and Tokine in this chapter. Warning, Princess talks in Language that is slightly more complicated, using almost unknown meanings of words. Again, this is an AU and is completely unrelated to the main story of Kekkaishi.
CHAPTER 3
THE PLAN OF KOKUBURO,
IS NOT VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
PRINCESS
"Poor poor forlorn me, sitting in the middle of the school with nothing to do." I groaned as I sat in my office, bored. "Oh, Byaku. Sweet Byaku. Where have you gone? Is thou leaving me to be alone and melancholy?"
I stood up and walked out into the hall. My condition was well enough for me to walk, it was hell when I couldn't walk. I strolled down the hall, during second period the halls are rather empty, void and deficient in life. I heard a small moan from the hall closet. I giggled a little, peeking in to see the lovey-dovey high school romance going on during moments that should be spent in the glorious classroom.
I peered in, surprise greeting my masked eyes as I saw young Yoshimori nipping on youthful Sen's neck. I suppressed a squeal at the spectacle of the blond boy with cat ears and a wildly flailing tail. I pushed the door open, startling the couple out of there joyful playing. I looked at Sen, seeing a purple spot on his neck where Yoshimori had been biting; they call it a hickey now.
"Ah, the young Kekkaishi claiming the little kitty as his own. Such a wonderful sight." I said. I noticed the look on the blonde's face and smirked.
"Ah, seems that young one has the capacity of vision. Seeing those others do not. Seeing those invisible to the uneducated eyes of a non-ayakashi. The acts of those who hold such power must be careful as it is something not to be wasted. You'd not want to waste a blessing from however you believe is above you."
I chuckled at the two's display of confusion with their weird facial expressions. Sen's cute head tilt made me want to fawn over him like a mother fox. Of course now would be a wonderful time to tell him my little clandestine.
"Hmm, you don't seem to understand my way of speaking. I refuse to speak in a lowly matter those under me would refer to as 'dumb it down'. You two should expand your vocabulary as you'll need to marry the son of a noble." I said smiling sweetly.
"What do you mean 'son of a noble'? Yoshimori isn't a nobleman's son, and I don't know my parent's." Sen says, flicking his ears in confusion. I stifled a laugh and coved my mouth with my hand.
"Hmm, you're blissfully unaware of your bloodline, or family." I decided to give him hints. I'll use the illusion mist, to make him believe he's alone. It'll let me get to him easier. I looked into his eyes and began the illusion. I watched carefully as he looked around in confusion and called out for Yoshimori. I served towards him with snakelike movements.
"They never told you of your bloodline, Hmmm. You should really be curious. What if it's evil? What if you're not what you think you are?" I said in my ominous voice. He looked shaken, and I knew I was succeeding in my efforts an unnerving him. He turned to look at me, but I quickly vanished and swerved to be behind him again.
"You could be a monster among monsters. Do you want that? What if there homophobic? What if they're dead? Do you want to know, or should I kill you? Maybe you'll meet them in heaven, or hell." I said again, unnerving him anymore. He held his head and shouted stop over and over again at me.
"Are you scared? You're future could be ruined by one fact, your life destroyed by the acts of an unknown being. Should you look for your lost parents? Should you let them be and never know? Which do you want, hmmm?" I said into his ear. He held his head again and I released him from the illusion, returning us to the positions we were in. No time had passed, but the fear and confusion in Sen's eyes was noticeable. Yoshimori immediately noticed and glared at me.
"What did you do?" He shouted.
"Aw, how hurt full. Such a horrid accusation. I may be an ayakashi, but I'm not sinister. Sure, I enjoy pranks and a little emotional torture, but I could never hurt my son." I said, smiling at them.
"Son, what?" Yoshimori shouted at me.
"I couldn't help but have a little fun and put thoughts into his mind, but I'm a loving mother through and through." I said, looking directly at Sen.
"Mother?" He said, tilting his head to the side.
"Yes, I fell in love with a human and gave birth to you. But your birthing left me weak and I was thought to be dead. I obviously lived and I came here. I missed a lot of your life and I'm so sorry, but when I overheard you talking about how much you didn't care about knowing your mother, I thought it wouldn't be interesting to you." I said solemnly.
"Y-you didn't abandon me. L-like father did." Sen said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I've been helping you in the background for many years know. Do you remember a while ago, when you were given a mission but you were the only member still conscious in the fight against the ayakashi, even your dear friend Gen was down." I said, and he nodded. "You suddenly felt an overwhelming aura as the ayakashi was disintegrated."
"T-that was you?"
AIHI
"Oh Shion, look at what I got." I said to her over the phone. The students were staring at me, I guess seeing a teacher talking on their phone isn't a normal occurrence.
"Oh, spying again are you?" Shion remarked I glared at her through the phone and sent her the picture I had taken with my human cell phone. I bought it just to fit in better among humans; they all seem to be obsessed with these objects.
"Oh my, that is something to be amused with." She said tiny signs of excitement showing in her bored monotone voice as she, I amuse, looked at the picture with her own phone. It was rather amusing, a young boy caught in a deep kiss with a man 10+ years older than him. The man is rather attractive, to bad he's a gay pedophile. I would show the police, but the man has tentacles and the boy has a claw dug into the wall. It would expose ayakashi if I did.
"So what are you going to do?" Shion asked me, "It's not like you could show a picture like that to the authorities."
"I know, I'll just have to talk to him." I said, stirring gossip in my classroom. I glared over, smirking at the sight of the loving couple sneaking their hands together under the table. Sen and Yoshimori are doing a rather good job hiding their relationship at school, as Princess and I are the only ones to have noticed anything different about them. The students would torture them for it, but I decided to let them enjoy their time together and let them be.
RING RING RING!
"Dismissed," I grumbled to the students. "Except you, Shishio. You will be staying back for a short while. You two as well, Kagemiya, Sumimura." I said, stirring fear in all of the three boys. Once all of the curious classmates were driven away I began to speak.
"I am very aware of your relationship Sen and Yoshimori, and I do not care what you do outside of my classroom as long as your homework is included in it; but I do not like Public Displays of Affection, and I ask that you keep to yourselves during the time you are to spend in my classroom." I said, looking right at the couple. They nodded, red with embarrassment. That's when I noticed something; I smirked.
"And Sen, you need to do better at hiding that cat tail of yours. It's noticeable in the skinny jeans you wear." I said, turning the blonde boy's face even redder. He nodded and ran out of the room with Yoshimori behind him. I looked at Gen and put off an even more serious face.
I pulled out my phone and put it up to the boy's face. "Explain this." I demanded. He looked at me with a terrified expression.
"You're the one who I sensed watching us." He said looked directly in my eyes.
"Yes, I suppose you both probably sensed my presence. I wasn't trying to hide it very well at the time, would you like to feel its full strength?" I asked, he looked at me with a curious expression.
Suddenly a man flew through my window. I glared at the white haired man. "What right do you have crashing through my window?" I shouted at him. He looked at me.
"Are you the reason my sweet Gen was not waiting for me at the school gate?" He asks, seriousness in his voice.
"Yes, and I believe you're the man dating a boy 10 years younger."
"It is against code for me, a senior member, to be intimate with a member of lower rank and it is against morals to date a boy under 18. It is also against the way I was raised, until I joined the night troop, to be in a relationship with another man." He explained.
"Ah, I see. My last question is for Gen, are you still curious to feel the full power of my aura?" I said, smiling.
He nodded and I released the ability hiding my aura. Gen immediately held his head and groaned in pain. Hiba also seemed surprised by its power. I smiled, covering my strength again. I looked at them, seeing fear in their eyes, even the elder man who acts as if he is unafraid of anything.
I walked to the door, but turned to speak to them once more, "You have nothing to worry about. I do not harm humans unless in self defense. And the information I hold will not be released to anyone else if Gen here gets an A in my class."
Gen nodded, but Hiba interjected. "Who have you told?"
"Only the Study Hall teacher, Shion . She's trustworthy, and too lazy to go through all the trouble explaining this to anyone." I said, I turned again, "Please clean up the mess you made with my window. I hope you intend on fixing it." With that, I left.
SHION
"Ooooo, seems the blonde one's fallen and can't seem to be able to get up." I groaned as I walked up to the school's new lovely couple. I suddenly realized why the boy was on the ground, seems that Aihi has released her energy. Her amount of energy is enough to scare the kid to death? Pfft, he'd die if he felt Princess's, Kaguro, or even my energy.
"Boy, stand up. The courtyard is not a place to sleep on the floor. Believe me." I said. Suddenly I saw a man pacing at the gate, a worried face on his features. I looked him up and down and walked over to him.
"Hello sweetie, who do I have the pleasure of talking to today?" I said. I smirked, I knew exactly who it is. I just need to be a distraction for Kaguro.
"Masamori Sumimura, I am here to meet with my younger sibling, Yoshimori Sumimura. From your choice of clothing, you appear to be a teacher here." He says. I smile sweetly at him.
"Yes I am a teacher here." I said with my fake cheerful smile.
"You seem like a very nice woman, how may I be of service to you?" He asked. I quickly came up with a thought. I thought of something beneficial to both the plan and myself.
"I'm having trouble changing a flat tire on my car, if you would be kind enough to assist me?" I asked, putting on my best damsel-in-distress persona.
"Of course ma'am." He says, a fake smile on his lips.
"Thank you very much sir." I said with a smile.
I led him to the car I had recently "purchased" from a nice old man. Too bad he died from a spider bite the day after I meet with him to see the car. I quickly claimed it before anyone had the chance to, before anyone had the chance to find his body either.
I looked over at our unaware target couple. They were happily taking with each other. I noticed Aihi exit the building with Kaguro behind her. I also noticed an upperclassman girl glare at the blonde boy Sumimura was with. Hmm, I'm detecting jealousy. What a fun thing to play with.
I turned to look at Masamori, who was helping lift the car up with the jack as I took out the spare tire. He looked at me and suddenly his face became very serious.
"What do you want ayakashi?" He demanded. I looked at him a smirked.
"Of course I want nothing but to fix this machine and return home. It is pure coincidence that the only man I could find to help me was you, a Kekkaishi." I said, giving a sweet smile.
"Your aura isn't sinister, so I'll believe you for now." He said, suspicion in his voice. I looked over and saw Kaguro speaking to the two boys, hideous smile appearing on his equally hideous human form. Ugh, how I prefer his bandaged appearance over that horribly ugly thing. Aihi should give him a human skin; too bad he keeps tearing them.
Suddenly, Kaguro lunges for Yoshimori. He nearly grabs him, but the plan fails,
The girl pushes him out of the way!
Does this bring a little of the action back, and introduces the main plot. Originally, it was Sen who would have saved Yoshi, but I didn't want to have to skip any romantic parts by having Sen go missing, it would be horrible. The intentions of our villainous group are unknown, and Princess being Sen's mom will be a very important detail, so keep reading and review! I thank all of you who have reviewed and I offer you a metaphorical plushy of chibi Sen with cat ears and cat tail. Continue reviewing, and if you have favorited or set this story to alert, please review as well!
