Chapter Four
Dance With the Devil!
In the world of Shinigami, there are villians and heros. Some jump at the chance to become known for a deed, whether it be good or bad. Some wonder why the heck they even got into the business in the first place. For they all, no matter good or evil, seem to die...
"When did we ask to be heros?" Tenno asked, closing his book and laying his head down on the table.
"When our parents met I suppose." Haruhi murmered, looking at her watch. "Or when we were kids. I'm gonna be late."
"You're getting used to them," Tenno commented, allowing Haruhi to drag him out of the library.
"At this rate I won't be surprised by them so easily anymore." The white haired boy snorted.
"Sure," he said. "You keep thinking that. Whatever helps you sleep at night." Haruhi rolled her eyes at her Patona.
They reached the door, and she pulled it open.
"Welcome!"
The usual entrance was accompanied by the blinding light and flying rose petals.
"Wonder where the light comes from," Tenno mumbled, squinting through the tropical trees at the ceiling. Nearby, Haruhi fell to her knees in a corner, radiating defeat.
"Oh," Hikaru said. "It's just you guys."
"We thought you were a guest." Kaoru complained. Ignoring them, Haruhi pulled out her pocket sized calendar.
"It's the middle of December." she mumbled. Tenno blocked out the rant Tamaki made about how being half-naked was the 'gentlemanly way' and made his way over to a chair. He sat back and propped his feet up on another chair, lacing his fingers behind his head.
"Don't bother me," he ordered. "I'm taking a nap. Haruhi, don't wear anything they give you." he added, looking pointedly at the twins and King.
"Eh?" Tenno grunted, tumbling out of his chair. He looked around at the girls sitting with Haruhi with wide green eyes.
"KYAAA!" they burst out again, moving from adoring Haruhi's loyalty to the seasons to Tenno's childish expression.
"Excuse me?" a new voice said, its owner walking up. A very pretty girl with short brown hair and hazel eyes moved forward, smiling at them. "I'm Kasugasaki Kanako from grade 11, class B." She bent to get a better look at the childhood friends. "My, you two are cuter than I've heard. I've decided, you'll be my favorites."
Tenno grinned rakishly, sending a few more girls into a faint, as he stood.
"Sorry to disappoint you," he said graciously, shoving his hands in his pockets as he headed for the door. "But regretably, I'm not a Host. Haruhi, I'll be on the roof if you need me."
Tenno laid back on the roof, eyes closed against the chilly air. A /pop!/ near his head caught his attention. A hastily scribbled note in Haruhi's handwriting floated near his head. He reached out with his long fingers and caught it, raising his eyebrows at the single word written on it.
Help.
With a sigh, he climbed to his feet, streatching. He twisted on his heel and disappered with a BANG!
The next moment, he stood in the pleasantly heated Music Room, being stared down by all the Hosts and Kanako.
Haruhi, distracted by his arrival, tripped, sending both girls to the ground.
"Im sorry, Kasugasaki-san!" she gasped, pulling back slightly from the close hold Kanako had on her.
"It's alright Haruhi-kun." she said, smiling.
"Trying to make me jealous?" Tenno asked, shaking off the bits of blue powder from his shoulders.
"You can TerepÅto (Teleport)?" Hunny asked, looking at the taller boy in awe. "Not even our senseis can do that Yo-yo-chan!" Tenno shrugged.
"It's not hard," he grunted. "I could teach you if you want." Hunny nodded exstatically, Mori adding a brief, "Yeah."
Throughout their exchange, they completely missed Kanako having an accident, which resulted in Haruhi taking her to the nurse's office.
Tenno blinked then shook his head, walking over to a secluded corner with the 3rd years. He sat down Indian-style (cross-legged) on the floor, the others following suit.
"So, how do you do it?" Hunny asked, wide-eyed.
"It's all about knowing exactly where you're going and using the exact amount of energy to get you there," Tenno explained, holding out a hand of blue energy. "Haruhi have been praticing our parents' attacks and abilities since I learned how to transform, and that was a long time ago. Right now, I'd just practice concentrating some of your Seishin manafesuto (Spirit Manafest) in your palm." Mori and Hunny copied his stance, staring intently at their hands. Hunny's child-like face turned serious, making Tenno register just how old he truly was.
A sudden blast of energy on Mori's part erupted from his hand and shot into Hunny's arm in a flash of green light.
