Disclaimer: Of course I don't own them. I want them though...
"Eiri, would you please demonstrate for us?"
"Huh?"
Yuki looked up at his teacher, returning from a moment of spacing out.
"Or perhaps you find the ceiling more interesting..."
Yuki sighed, rolling his eyes. He hated being called Eiri. And more than that, he hated being treated like a student. He had long since graduated his classes, and had hung around for a place to stay and a job as a T.A. He sighed and stretched, looking casually at his instructor.
"What?" He asked
The class giggled. The teacher shot them a reproachful look before bringing his glare back to Yuki.
"The magic of ice. Would you care to demonstrate?"
Yuki smirked, cracking his knucles.
'Big mistake.'
He stood and stretched once again.
"You sure about this?" He asked
The teacher nodded, and beconed for him to continue.
'I know I shouldn't do it... I know I should hold back... but...'
Yuki held out his hand, and from it, a powerful burst of ice shot, covering the entire class room, and soon all of the students within it. He laughed, as he turned he room into a virtural skating rink. He smiled, crossing his arms and staring at his work.
"Eiri!"
Yuki's grin grew wider as he turned to the doorway, and glanced upon the face of the flustered man standing there.
"Mr. Baton. Always a pleasure." He said
"Office. Now."
Yuki shrugged, casually walking towards the door.
"Should I thaw them first?"
"OFFICE!"
"Fine. Jeez." Yuki said, raising his hands in mock surrender "No biggie."
"No biggie? You've been late five times in the past two weeks!"
Shuichi sighed, running his fingers through his soft pink hair.
"I'm sorry." He said "But... it really wasn't my fault. You see... I was leaving... the infirmary..."
"The infirmary?"
Shuichi nodded.
"I was chased by Soul Stealers last night..."
"Soul Stealers?"
Shuichi nodded, leaning in closer to his teacher.
"Yeah... and then... Eiri Yuki... he saved me. With his pure white wings he--."
"What?"
"He saved me."
"That part about the--."
"Wings?"
She didn't speak another word, only grabbed Shuichi's arm and practically dragged him down towards the office.
"What were you thinking! More importantly, were you thinking?" Barton shouted
Yuki sighed, tilting his head back and slumping down in his chair, a seat oh to familiar to him in the headmistress's office.
"No one's hurt." He said
"You froze 26 students and a teacher solid!"
"And I was going to unthaw them before you came and dragged me away. He asked me for a demonstration, so I gave him one."
Barton rolled his eyes.
"I can't deal with this!"
"Good. It's not your job to."
Barton slammed his fists down onto the desk, creating a dent.
"I'll just let the headmistress deal with this."
"You're dragging Kina into this?" Yuki asked
"How dare you speak of the lady in such an informal manner!"
"Barton! I think I shall be the one who decides what is appropiate to call me."
Both their eyes turned towards the door to find a beautiful, blue eyed, woman standing in the frame, glowing with an unearthly glow. Her hair was a dark, deep raven, and hung well past her narrow hips. Her long dress hung and clung along her curves, swaying with each motion she made as she entered the room.
Her eyes met Barton's, and narrowed.
"Get out!" She yelled
Without another word, Barton made a swift exit, leaving a slightly surprised Yuki behind.
"Think I overdid it?" She asked
Yuki shrugged.
"I think you did pretty well, caught me off guard." He replied, relaxing his fingers from where they had been gripping the chair out of terror. He had seen this woman's bad side once before, and he never wanted to get on it again
She sighed and sat on the front of her dented desk, waving her hand over the indention.
"Sarcio." She muttered, watching the desk mend itself. She then turned her beautiful, elven face to Yuki. "I'm going to let you go. In a few moments, go back to your dorm and pretend this whole thing never happened."
"You're a goddess."
"No. I'm an elf. Your mother was a goddess."
Yuki sighed.
"Do we always have to talk about this?" He asked, rubbing his fingers across his face
"Yes. If she was still here--."
"But she's not. She died a long time ago."
"Hm." Kina said, crossing her arms and closing her eyes. She fell silent for a while before speaking "What happened today is unacceptable."
"Yeah. But it was fun."
Kina chuckled, a smile gracing her beautiful face.
"Why did you do it?" She asked, slightly amused "He only asked for a demonstration. Not a skating rink."
Yuki chuckled.
"I suppose... it's because... I'm tired of being treated like a child."
This time, it was Kina who laughed.
"Oh, but Eiri... you are a child. Very much so. Behind all that power, still lies youth and innocence."
"Youth maybe, but innocence... not for a long time."
Kina narrowed her eyes, but then laughed again.
"You sound like him sometimes, you know that?"
Yuki stood, suddenly angered.
"You shut your mouth! I am nothing like him!" He yelled "I want nothing to do with him!"
"Eiri! Calm down1"
"Don't call me that! Stop talking to me like I'm a child!"
"I'm sorry!" Kina yelled, nearing Yuki and wrapping her arms around him.
Yuki squeezed her back, clinging to her dress mudch like he used to when he was little. When he was afraid. When he could feel that white-hot pain across his shoulder blades, threatening to erupt.
They stood like that for a few moments, before Kina spoke.
"You are very much the same as hen you first came to me."
Yuki didn't speak, only rested more onto her shoulder.
"Such a small, beautiful, quivering frightened boy."
"You were the only person who saw me as that." Yuki murmured "Everyone else saw me as a monster."
Kina pulled back from him, placing Yuki's face in her hands.
"You look so much like her. I can se her clear in your eyes."
Yuki shrugged out of her grasp, closing his eyes.
"Stop." He said softly
"You came to me. And I took you, and cared for you, according to your mother's wishes." She continued "I allowed you to come to this school, and after you graduated, I allowed you to stay... provided..."
"That I do something productive and don't harm anyone."
"And you've done neither."
"But it's not like you'll kick me out." Yuki said "You won't risk that he'll talk to me."
Kina crossed her arms and sighed.
"I think you take my kindness for granted."
"I do."
Kina rolled her eyes.
"You're right though. But still, this disobeying of the rules..."
"I'm sorry... it was a mistake." Yuki said
Kina cocked her head, shocked.
"What?"
"I'm sorry."
Kina shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"That's new... you apologizing... but still... this isn't the only reason I came down here."
"What?"
"I heard you crossed into the mortal world last night."
Yuki's eyes widened.
"Word spreads through this school like cockroaches." He muttered
"Which is not only against school policy... but against my rules I set for you."
"I know."
Kina sighed.
"So, why'd you go?"
Yuki paused for a moment, choosing the correct words to say.
"I wanted... to stretch... my wings."
Kina was silent.
"They've been aching lately. I need to free them more and more... I don't know why."
Her hand went to her lip, and she began nibble subconsciously on her nails.
"What?" He asked, "You're... nervous."
"No. I was just thinking about something."
"What?'
"It doesn't concern you."
"Oh, you'd think it would... considering our..." He raised his eyebrows suggestively teasing her "Close personal relationship."
Kina scoffed, rolling her eyes.
"You and my daughter had one night together. One. Don't let it go to your head."
Yuki laughed softly.
"It has been... just one right?"
Yuki cocked his head.
"It doesn't concern you." He replied
Kina rolled her eyes.
"Anyways, someone saw you... last night. When you were out 'stretching'."
"Yeah... that baka. What's his name?'
"Shuichi Shindo. Don't worry, it's being taken care of. You just have to be more careful."
Yuki nodded.
'Shuichi Shindo, huh?' He thought
Kina sighed, sitting behind her desk.
"Go. The secretary will write you a pass."
