Miss Antisocial Butterfly
Hi everyone! I haven't updated for a long time huh? Finally, I was able to work on this chapter for a bit! I've been sick for a few days too, which sucks
Update-This is the revised version of this chapter. Read and Review :D
Chapter 3
It was four in the morning of the first day Kanda came to Hogwart. The old man, Albus Dumbledore, had explained the more basic part of his job.
Teach. Yeah, just pretty much teach. He then led the young Japanese boy to his room. Kanda, had gathered as much information as he could that first meeting, concluded that his room was one of the 'center rooms'. He felt a strange energy when he was lead to a portrait of a beautiful Miko.
"Ah, Dumbledore -sama, good evening. Oh, I see you brought a guest too."
If Kanda was shocked at the talking Miko, he sure didn't show it. The Miko was beautiful, as most usually tended to be. (In his opinion at least.)
She had short black hair, it nipped at her shoulder blades, pink puffy lips in pastel shade and soft, fair, peachy skin. She wore the traditional Miko attire. Everything but the light pink, peachy color choker with a red crystal that the Miko seemed to be wearing put him to ease. It was like being home agai-
"Ah, Ariko, good evening. Professor Kanda." The old man turned to Kanda. The Japanese stood there, alert on his toes. The young boy turned to the Miko, Ariko he believes, and gave a deep and respectful bow. "Professor, this over here is Ariko. As you can tell, she was a former Miko. We call her Ariko, she shall be the one to guard your room."
Kanda nodded, looking as if he was getting everything, but not really. How is this thing, a picture of a Miko, supposed to guard his room?
"Now, I must say Kanda, that all teachers are required to wear a robe." Kanda's left eye twitched at the 'R' word. "But, I shall make an exception for you. I myself find your attire much more fitted looking for our Defense Against Dark Arts than our robes."
The samurai didn't know whether to take that a compliment or what.
"Now, I have run through the basics with you, I shall retire for the night. Good night Professor, good night Ariko." The old man left after the two bid him good night. It wasn't until after Kanda felt the presence of the old man gone, did he realized something. How the hell was he supposed to get into his room?
Here he was, alone in some corridor of some building, the fourth floor as well, standing like an idiot with his stupid head band, bags of books and his essentials. He turned to the Miko. He opened his mouth, and then shut it. Then again with the same process. He looked like a confused fish.
Ariko smiled at the charming 'boy', in front of her. "It seems that Dumbledore-sama had forgotten one thing I suppose?"
She had that sisterly feeling with her. Kanda couldn't put a finger to it, but there was something familiar about her. She gave him this warm feeling. No, he was not falling in love, heck no, but, but, it was something. He felt at ease with her. He felt, relaxed.
"Kanda-sama."
Kanda looked up. The Miko, um, 'Ariko?, was smiling at him. He felt like an idiot under her stare and he didn't know why... Or maybe he did. Was it the standing in the middle of some hallway, holding large bags of, well, stuff, looking like a confuse goldfish? He didn't want to answer that.
"Ariko-san, may I proceed to entering my designated resting area?" Where did the, 'Give me my fucking bag back', or the 'I'm going to fucking kill you, you beansprout!' guy go, you ask? Well, he's still there.
A moment in Yuu Kanda's mind...
I'm going to fucking kill that fucking asstard and his fucking Kumoi with my fucking Mugen when I fucking get out of this fucking mission and by the time I'm done, I'm going to fucking-beep beep beep- his fucking-beep-and-beep-his fucking-beep-
Let us leave before he can say something worst...
The Miko gave a sheepish smile. So, Dumbledore-sama really did forget to tell this young lady- um, boy, how to get in. Typical.
"Ahem, Kanda-sama. To get in, you must use a password. You must give me a password and with that word, I shall open the doors of your resting chambers. Only you and the people who know the password may enter." She made a pause, just to make sure the young Japanese samurai was still listening, and so he was. "You may also change the password at any moment that you please."
Kanda nodded. "Then, shall I give you a password now?" He questioned.
The Miko, who we shall address as Ariko for now, nodded. "Yes Kanda-sama."
Kanda thought for a moment. A password, something he only knew...hm... Aha! He's got one! "Ai. I shall use Ai."
Ariko smiled as she knew what that word meant. She found it funny how this tiny adult wanted to use 'love' as his password. It was strange, maybe he was a romanticist or something, Ariko thought.
"As you wish..." With that, the portrait swung open, revealing a doorway into a large room.
It was six in the morning already, Kanda had yet to sleep a wink. The creepy feeling that somebody was watching him kept him on guard all night. It made him shiver as he thought back when he was little and had his first stalker. Stupid creep.
Classes started at eight, or at least that's what Kanda had gathered from his talk with Dumbledore last night. He still had two hours, might as well find his classroom. As he stood up, a low grumbling sound emitted from his stomach. Breakfast sounded good to.
He grabbed the white ribbon that lay across the desk in his room. Ariko gave it to him last night. Don't ask how, she just did. With the ribbon he reached out to grab a comb besides the ribbon and brushed his long, silky hair.
With a quick, swift move, he managed to tie a ribbon on his head. It was better than those stupid cat ears headbands... Or maybe not. The ribbon was too long, so even when he tied it in a bow, the ends hanged out. Just so you know, the end that he tied together was hidden behind his long hair, so it looked like an elegant white band.
The ends, the ends were still hanging out. Man it annoyed him, but he couldn't cut it. The Miko, Ariko, gave it to him. Man, why did he have to be such a nice guy?
...Ramen...? Was that ramen he smelled? Sure ramen wasn't soba, but it was the closes thing around. He followed the sent, somewhat unaware he was leaving his room, landing him in front of a pear portrait. "...Huh?..." How did he end up in front of a picture? He was hungry, but still, in front of a fruits picture? Fine then, he wasn't that hungry, he'll just skip breakfast if he'll just end in front of a pear's picture.
Grumble, grumble... Kanda inwardly blushed as his stomach made such a sound. As he stubbornly took a step away, the pear suddenly swung opened, revealing a doorway.
He took a peek inside.
"...?..." Were those little weird house elf things working around a kitchen? Yeah, short green and so dirty looking.
Grumble~
"Oh!" One of those green creatures spotted him, not that he was really trying to hide or anything. It ran up to him with... With food!
"Dear ma'am, dear ma'am, please, is there anything you need?" A weird looking female house elf came up to ask him.
A vein popped in Kanda's neck. 'Ma'am'? He glared at her with killer thoughts.
"Ekk! Hannah is sorry sir! Hannah is sorry!" She accidentally dropped the food she was holding. Soon, every house elf stoped to look at them. Suddenly, in a matter of seconds, Kanda was surrounded with a whole lot of them.
"Please eat this sir!"
"Please try this ma'am!"
"Is there anymore you request?"
Left, right, back, front, Kanda was surrounded. Completely. The female elf, 'Hannah', was crushing into his chest as was all the other elves. Her pointy nose poked Kanda, slightly pissing him off. The loud chatters the filled his ears, he wished they would just shut up already. Oh god! He could feel something on his head ready to come out.
"Shut up!"
Silence and frozen movements came. The elves all froze on spot, not daring to make a move, nor any kind of sound. The elves all kept their big, round eyes on one thing; the long pointy object that currently occupied Kanda's hand.
Kanda held his sword low, his other hand ready to unsheathe it. Of course he really wouldn't take his beloved sword, Mugen, out of his case, but these little things were seriously pissing him off. He clenched his beloved quiet hard to the point, if it was made of anything but metal, would have cracked it. He couldn't help it, he was hungry and as we all know, hated loud crowds.
One brave elf spoke up. "U-u-um master, wo-wou-would you li-like to e-e-eat any-anything th-thi-this morning!" The elf stood around two feet, his brown eyes blinking uncontrollably. His whole little body looked quiet shaken, frighten. Kanda almost smirked; this was the exact reaction he wanted to see.
He frowned inwardly as he saw what the elves wore, old and trashy pieces of clothing's. Each one of them, all wearing worn out shirts with tears and holes. Especially this one in front of him, he couldn't help but feel sorry for this little thing- um, elf.
For some reason, he got the feeling these guys wouldn't leave him alone until he ask them for something. Oh well.
"Soba."
The elves blinked with a '... wtf?' look. Kanda knew it. How would anybody, or any creature for the matter, know what soba was. Oh well, this was a good chance to escape while all the creatures in the room were thinking hard. Of course, with Kanda and wanting his peace, something always goes wrong.
The little elf from earlier gave a big toothy smile. "I know! I know master!" Kanda still wondered why this elf called him master. "My former master was a big Japanese fan!"
Kanda growled. Great. He sighed. "Bring it to the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom by eight." The elf quickly got to work while the others had already gone back to whatever they were doing before. He was about to walk out of the room, before he stopped on his tracks. He turned back.
"You." The elf that was in charge of getting his food stood in front of him with a curious look. Kanda took off the scarf he got from Kumoi last Christmas and tossed it into the elf's face. "Hurry up and get my food, quit calling me Master and put something on."
With that, he made a quick dash out of the room, leaving the stunned elf and its surprised co-workers in shock.
Well, this is it for now! I'd make it longer, but I have to so many things to do. I'll try to update whenever I can.
Reviews are cool, constructive criticism are awesome and a beta would be great!
