Chapter 4: The Beauty of The Gem
'Why am I even doing this?' Yako asked herself as she was sitting on her desk close to the class window. She was currently looking for mysteries in a newspaper for a certain man who Yako hoped would leave her alone for once.
"Yako!" Her friend called out to her as she entered the class and went over to her desk which was right next to Yako.
"Kanae! Hey, what's going on?" Yako asked, avoiding looking for mysteries.
"I heard we have a new teacher!" Her red haired friend said with excitement.
"Ah… well it's not that surprising any more since we get a new teacher like every month now." Yako said with indifference.
"I know, but they say that he's a foreigner and handsome! They say he looks like some model out of a magazine!"
"Oh… I see." Yako said not very surprised by the news and instead continued to look for mysteries, which were probably more interesting to her right now than the news Kanae brought her.
"Yako! Don't just ignore me! Aren't you glad we finally have a cute teacher for once! Don't tell me you're not interested in guys?" Kanae eyed her suspiciously.
"Yeah I am! Just not right now; more like I'm not looking for anyone right now." Yako answered her friend.
"Ah! So you already have someone?!" Kanae asked surprised.
"E-Eh?! N-No! Of course n- ", Yako suddenly stopped as the class went silent with the sound of the class door being slide opened and revealing a man whom Yako stared at with wide eyes and horror.
'N-Neuro! WTH?! What is he doing here?' Yako thought, panicking about the possibility of him embarrassing her in front of the whole class. All the girls in the class squealed when he entered the classroom; the guys all glared at him for taking the girls' attention. He was wearing a black vest and a long sleeve white collar shirt over with the first few buttons opened and black formal pants with black formal shoes. His hair was tied back in a pony tail with two locks of his hair dangling loosely on the side of his face. His golden yellow clips still clipped to the ends of his hair. Neuro went over to the teacher's desk or more like his desk now. He took a chalk from the board and wrote his name, Nougami Neuro.
"Now students, I am going to be your new teacher for the rest of this year. As you can see, I come from overseas and I am new to Japan, so hope some of you can help me out around here and have patience with me." He smiled innocently the whole time as he introduced himself to the class. Of course his smile fooled everyone, all except Yako. She felt disgusted on how he could fool everyone with his little act and everyone actually getting fooled by it!
'Buddha, God, Zeus, or any other god out there! I am terribly sorry for everything wrong I did in my life! I know I deserve being punished, but this just too much of a punishment! This is torture!' Yako thought, now feeling hopeless on getting her normal life back. Yako was looking down at her desk, hoping somehow the desk would do something about the situation she was in right now. She looked up when she felt someone looking at her. Curse her instincts for being correct, she looked at Neuro who was staring at her the whole time. He wasn't the only one though, all the girls glared at her for some reason. She looked at them confused on what's going on. Neuro smiled at her with his fake niceness and she twitched at the sight. She earned even more glares form the girls. Yako just sweat dropped in hopelessness.
"Now class, should we get started on the lesson." Neuro of course was having fun torturing his little slave with such little actions.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
'Oh god yes! Finally! School is over for the day!' Yako rejoiced. Her day was pure torture. Neuro kept catching her not paying attention and so he of course took advantage of the moment to throw something at her. Yako couldn't take it any longer and wondered if the day was ever going to end.
"I'm just glad it's over with!" Yako got up, stretched and started heading towards the door but suddenly stopped as she heard her name
"Katsuragi Yako! I am afraid you cannot leave yet. I have to talk to you." It was of course Neuro who called out to her. Everyone was already leaving, while she stayed back in the classroom.
'Mou…they're so lucky to leave. I have to stay here behind with the most merciless man in the whole universe!' Yako thought, completely sure that the last bit of sanity in her life was now gone. The last student now left the classroom and slide the door closed, leaving her and Neuro alone in the classroom.
"Well Neuro? What do you want? It better be important, since you had me stay behind after class of all times! Couldn't you have told me when we got home?" Yako winced when she suddenly felt her back hit one of the classroom's walls. Her bag fell out of her arm and was now on the floor.
"Germ, please, who are you to order me around" Neuro, now looking at her with such deadly eyes, he had his left hand on the wall and was on the side of Yako's face. His other hand had a black marker while his left hand grabbed her face by the cheeks and the hand with the marker went up and he took off the cap using his mouth and started to write on her face all kinds of embarrassing stuff. Yako tried to escape but was too late, he had already written on let her go, and Yako grabbed her bag off the floor and took out a pocket mirror. She saw all the stuff that was written and drawn on her face.
"Geez Neuro! Why'd you do that for? Now I need to wash my face. I'll be right back." 'I just hope this isn't permanent marker.' She thought and went out the door leaving her school bag behind. Neuro meanwhile, was erasing the stuff on the board. Once he finished, he looked over where her bag was and then at the door. He put the board eraser back to its place and headed over to where her bag was. He opened it up and started to look around.
'School books, notebook, pencils, pens, reading book, cell phone, hmph… seems like the woodlouse doesn't have a brain but she is also boring.' He was about to close her bag when something caught his eye. It was a very unique and beautiful gem; its shape was a perfect sphere and its colors were collaged together they were a dark purple, a royal blue and a golden yellow with a bit of a dark red. He took it out and put the bag down on the desk. He was examining it when he heard a familiar voice.
"Well…what do we have here? Did you become a thief now…Neuro?" Neuro turned his attention to the voice that came from the door of the class.
"Oh, well I didn't expect you to be here..." he said and gave a wicked smile to his little visitor.
"Geez! I'm just glad it wasn't permanent after all." Yako was inside the girl's restroom cleaning her face. She finished cleaning and threw the napkin away. She took a last look at herself on the mirror. The picture of her dad came to her mind and her face saddened a bit.
'Heh…guess I haven't gotten over it.' She then closed her eyes and an image of Neuro replaced her fathers. She opened her eyes rather quickly and shook her head trying to get his image out of her mind.
"What was that? Why did Neuro suddenly appear?" she said to herself trying to look for an answer but then dismissed the thought. "Y-Yeah! Maybe because he's been torturing me constantly and well now my poor mind can't take him! Y-Yeah that's it! I mean why else?!" She opened the restroom door and got out. When she got to the hallway that led to her classroom she saw two people leave the classroom. One was a boy a little older or around her age with silver hair. He was wearing a dark green sweater with a gray shirt under. He had dark brownish khaki pants and black converse shoes, and his hands were behind his head and had a satisfied smile on his face. There was also a woman beside him; she had violet colored hair that was long and straight, she was wearing a short sleeved collar shirt that had strings at the end of the sleeves and black formal pants with black closed toe high-heels. Yako kept on walking even though she felt a little uneasy when she past by them. She turned around and saw them go down the stairs. When she got inside the classroom she saw Neuro was standing there next to her desk looking quite satisfied also. She couldn't help but asking him who those people was. Neuro turned to her and smiled.
"Ah! So now the slave wants to get into her master's business? Isn't that quite amusing?" Yako sweat dropped and brushed the subject away.
"I was just curious, ok!? Sheesh! Anyway…can we just go home now? I'm a little tired from today." Yako went over and grabbed her bag and started to head towards the door. Neuro soon followed after her.
"Dishrag." A vein pooped on Yako's forehead.
"What is it, Neuro?" She answered trying to stay calm.
They were currently walking down a street with Yako being on the side closest to the road and Neuro being on the other.
"Did you get to find me a good mystery?" Yako actually did find a mystery for him that looked that it could satisfy him for the day and enough for the food she was going to prepare him.
"Actually Neuro, yes, yes I did; while you were hitting me with stuff during class I actually had the time to find you a good mystery." She took out the newspaper and showed him the mystery that was circled with blue ink. Neuro looked at it, examining it if it was actually worth being solved. He finally finished looking at it and decided that it was worth being eaten. So, he grabbed Yako by the head and dragged her to where the mystery took place.
"Good job dishrag, you actually did well on picking this one."
Once they got there, it didn't take long to get Neuro searching for the culprit. It was about a woman whose husband was murdered and was poisoned right before being murdered. In the end it was the wife herself who killed him because she wanted to stay with all of his inheritance and because he was cheating on her. Once the murder was solved, with Neuro solving it and giving the credit to Yako and him devouring the energy from the mystery, which Yako couldn't quite get accustomed to, they left the wife's house and started once again walking back to Yako's house.
"Katsuragi!" Yako suddenly stopped walking and turned around as she heard someone calling out to her. Neuro, who was at her side also stopped to look at the person who dared called out to the woodlouse when they were about to go back to her house.
"Higuchi-san!" Yako said with a hint of happiness in her voice. Higuchi Yuuya, he was a little older than Yako. He wore a green turtle neck short sleeved shirt with a yellow line going through the middle. He had black jeans and he wore round glasses on his black hair. 'Wow! I haven't talked to Higuchi-san a lot these days! I wonder what he's doing around here.' Yako thought to herself.
"Higuchi-san, what brings you here?"
"Hm? Well I was going to go to this new cyber café. It would be cool if you could come too, but I see you're already a little busy." Yako then turned around to see that Neuro was beside her and smiling the good ol' smile she knew all too well…he was annoyed for whatever reason.
"Higuchi-san, this is Neuro my…assistant. Neuro, this is Higuchi Yuuya, a good friend of mine." Higuchi stretched out his hand to Neuro, but alas, like always Neuro juts ignored it and answered with a 'nice to meet you'. Higuchi nodded, a little annoyed by Neuro. Yako couldn't believe how rude Neuro can be.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you for today Katsuragi, hope we can hang out sometime." Higuchi said with a sincere smile while waving at her.
"Yeah, sure!" Yako answered back to the black haired teenager and waved back. Neuro started to walk away and Yako quickly followed after.
Once they got back home, Yako opened the fridge to see what she would make to eat for her and Neuro. 'Hmmmm….I guess I'll make some curry, since it looks like we have all the ingredients for it.' She started to take out all the stuff she needed and started to prepare the curry. Neuro was currently in his room sitting on the bed and staring at the gem he got out of Yako's bag.
'Why does the slave have this gem? No one in this universe should have this gem, but why does the woodlouse have it?' Neuro was as distracted as to why Yako had the gem that he didn't hear her entering his room.
"Na, Neuro would you like the curry to be spic-"Yako stopped as she saw that Neuro had her gem that was supposedly inside her bag the last time she checked. 'Why does Nuero have my gem?' she asked herself. Neuro looked up from the gem and was now looking at Yako.
"Ne, Neuro why do you have my gem?" she asked Neuro confused as to why he had it.
"I found it in the classroom when you were busy washing your face inside the girls restroom." He said without even a hint in his voice that he was of course lying. He then decided to hand it back to the dishrag. Yako of course took it away from him.
"Ah…I see, well then, thank you. Now like I was going to say, do you want the curry to be really spicy?"
"Mild." He said as he stood up.
"All right then, if you'll excuse me-", she was about the head towards the door to leave when suddenly Neuro decided to stop her once again from leaving.
"Oi, woodlouse, would you care to share where you got that gem?" Yako stopped on her tracks.
"Why do you want to know?" She said with a serious voice, when she turned to look at him she had these lifeless eyes like ones that would belong to a porcelain doll. Neuro, not liking how she was looking at him, got her head and twisted it into a 360; which got her to snap back to her old self.
"GAH! Neuro-let…go…" she managed to say with the little breath she had in her current state.
"Hmmmm…not until you decide to tell me louse." Neuro said as he put on his 'innocent' face on. A light blush was now forming on the girls white cheeks from either the lack of air or something else.
"Mmmmm… all right…then…I-I'll tell you…" Yako said in between grunts. At this, Neuro let her go and she dropped to the ground with a 'thud', she was massaging her neck trying to make the pain a little bearable.
"That gem…I met this boy once when I suddenly got lost trying to find food on the mountains in a trip with my parents, since we forgot to bring food. I came upon this river, where I saw this boy was standing there, so I asked him if he was also lost, but he didn't respond, instead he gave me this gem, I'm guessing he got it from the river, since it still had little droplets of water on it. After I got it, I was going to give my thanks when all of a sudden he disappeared and then I heard my parents calling me, and well I went to them of course." She stopped and looked at the gem.
"I actually don't even know how he looked like now that I think of it, the only thing I remember was his eyes. They were a marvelous green that would cast a spell on you just by staring at them." She noticed what she just said and waved her hands in a wild manner.
"Anyway! I have to go back down to the kitchen to finish making the curry since it's getting late already. I'll call you when it's done." She opened the door and left in a matter of seconds. Neuro was just standing there rather serious the whole time while his little slave was going on and on about her story on her encounter with this boy.
'Hmmm… I see.' He thought to himself while giving a last smile that showed he somehow succeeded in something, like a runner finishing the race and winning the medal.
"Neuro! The curry is ready! If you don't hurry, it's going to get cold!" He heard Yako call out to him form downstairs. He opened the door and headed downstairs.
