Seishin Ripazu
Chapter Two
First Day! Accident at the Academy!
In a world of Souru, Patona and Hason, there are schools created to train future Souru agents and their teams. Each team is connected in a way that's undescribable. Each team is led by a Scythe Master, the most powerful member of the group. They would easily lay down their lives for each other and go to any length to save them. However, not all teams begin this way...
Tenno followed Haruhi uninterestedly, listening to her grumble about noisy libraries and annoying rich kids. With a sigh, she glanced up at the sign above a set of large doors and pulled one of them open.
"It's probably the only quiet place left." she muttered.
A flood of rose petals flew at them, and an incredible white light blinded Haruhi.
"Welcome!" came the chorus of voices.
"Oh, it's just some guys." came the disappointed voices. A set of red headed twins stood to the side of a platinum blond with violet colored eyes.
"Watch your mouths," he told them. "They're still customers." He stood up and approached them. Tenno took a step back, not wanting to be close to the Souru. He noticed the boy standing behind the recently vacated chair, had the same soul wavelength as him.
Then that means they're partners. As he registered this, he took note that they all seemed to be in pairs. The red heads were obviously partners, just as the smaller blond was partnered with the tall black haired boy.
He mused on this while the boy with glasses went on about family power and the blond talked about weeds, heros, gay honor students and the little blond wanted to know about the time they saved the queen - Wait a second. When did we save a queen? Does Japan even have a queen? He was lost in his thoughts until a CRACK! caught his attention.
A royal blue vase fell off a small column, shattering on the floor. Misty white orbs rolled out, disolving into the air.
"Oh wow commoner, you've done it." one of the twins, the Souru of the pair said.
"Those souls were supposed to go for t least 6 million yen, and the vase itself was worth 2 million." the Patona twin said.
"I'll pay it ba-" Haruhi began, looking distrught.
"With what money?" they asked, scornfully. "You can't even afford the uniform. What's with that lame outfit you're wearing?"
Tenno was terribly annoyed by the twins, but he had to agree with them there. While he wore the same outfit he fought the demon in, Haruhi wore a thick and bulky sweater that Ranka owned (the hideous thing was stuffed into the back of his closet and brought out every Christmas so Kiseki could tease him about it) and a pair of Tenno's black pants. He was a little disturbed by Haruhi donning his clothes, but kept silent. In fact, the only thing girlish about her was the stone necklace her mother had given her before The Mission.
The Mission was something nobody liked to talk about. It was just one of those assignments their mothers had gone out on regularly. The only thing different about it was, they never came back.
The blond then said something about Romans and dogs while Tenno wondered what his father would make for dinner. He looked up just in time to see Haruhi faint.
"Man, you can stand up against the freakiest Hason and knock it down without a sweat, but when it comes to teenage boys oh nooooo." he muttered, catching her limp body.
Tenno sat on one of the empty couches, staring at the wall with his head propped up on the arm rest, where his elbow lay. He listened to blond and the twins flirt with their 'customers' while Glasses Boy, as Tenno dubbed him, scribbled away in his notebook. He didn't even blink when Haruhi made Prince Blondie, the tall blond, depressed, or when the little blond and his tall friend arrived. However, he did notice a spike of emotion from Prince Blondie's table.
He turned and locked eyes with an auburn haired girl with cold hazel eyes. With another wave of emotion, his suspicions were confirmed. She was a witch.
"Tsuyosa-san," the headmaster called, as he turned to walk out of the room with his schedule. "Might I have a word?" Tenno nodded and followed the older man into his office.
"Is there something wrong, sir?" he asked, slightly interested, but still seeming bored.
"Unfortunately," he said, voice unusually grim. "As you know, witches have been outlawed for quite some time now. We've gathered reports of craftwork around the school. Would you mind, if you suspect anything, following up on it?" Tenno shrugged.
"Sure, it's what Souru and Patona teams do, right?"
Tenno's eyes flickered over to Haruhi, who was explaining instant coffee to the Host Club. They were amazed by the new substance.
"My, my, they really are taking this too far." the witch, Ayanokouji, chuckled darkly. Haruhi looked confused for a moment, before moving to make coffee. After finishing with the rich kids, she brought him a steaming cup, which he accepted with a slight nod and the beginnings of a grin.
Haruhi read this as a thank-you. Tenno came across as one of those people who just didn't seem to care about much, but Haruhi read him like a well written book. Every move he made, no matter how slight, meant something. It may have been the fact they were always together since birth, or maybe because they were a team, or even because they clung to each other after their mothers died, but Haruhi considered him her other half, the one person she could never live without. Sure, she may fall in love one day, they both might, but they could never truly replace each other.
Haruhi smiled at him slightly before walking away.
"Tamaki-sama really is being to kind to the commoner boy," a voice sighed. Tenno tilted his head slightly so he could watch Ayanokouji. "His kindness may become a problem." Tenno frowned.
This girl, no this witch, made him anxious.
Tenno laid back, dozing slightly as the Host Club attempted to make (commoner's) Ramen. He opened his eyes long enough to see Tamaki pull Haruhi's glasses off, despite her protests. He smirked.
And so the romance begins! He snickered slightly as the twins attacked Haruhi with a new haircut and clothes. He blinked as the tiny blond sat himself down beside the Patona, holding a stuffed pink bunny.
"Uh, s'up?" he asked, slightly bewildered.
"Hey there Yo-yo-chan!" Tenno opened and closed his mouth for a moment, then shrugged.
"Hey, Hunny-senpai." he said indifferently. The little Senior looked up at him curiously.
"Nyeh, Yo-yo-chan, what are you?" Tenno grinned slightly, showing off rows of dangerously sharp teeth.
"I'm a Patona," he said swiftly, glancing over to where his Souru was changing. A few moments later, Haruhi stepped out dressed in the boy's uniorm, looking incredibly cute. Tamaki and the twins looked frighteningly proud of their work. He then sent her out to Host. With a sigh, Tenno rose from the couch to follow her.
A few minutes later, he sat amoung giggling girls and an akward brunette. Haruhi soon overcame this and slipped into her natural polite self, talking about her mother.
"So your mother died on a mission?" One long haired girl asked, looking sympathetic.
"Yeah, Kotoko-obasan was one of the most wonderful women I've ever known," Tenno sighed, deciding to worm his way into the conversation.
"Y-you knew Haruhi-kun's mother, Tenno-san?" The white haired boy grinned.
"Knew her? She was pratcically my second mother!"
"Our mother's were partners since middle school," Haruhi explained. "Our fathers were partners since birth, when they met, they called it love at first sight. They had a big double wedding, and we were born on the same day."
"I'm older by twenty minutes." Tenno said with a satisfied smirk. Haruhi merely rolled her eyes. Tenno looked up as Tamaki called them over, the girls rushing to Kyouya to request them for the next day.
When they arrived at Tamaki couch, he introduced them to a girl.
"Haruhi! Tenno! Meet Princess Ayanokouji." Haruhi smiled sweetly at her.
"Very nice to meet you." she said.
"Yea," Tenno said narrowing his green eyes at her.
