Red Food Coloring

Kisshu was in his second week of first grade, and he was bored out of his mind. The teacher was the most boring guy he'd ever met.

As Kisshu half-listened to the teacher drone on about something-or-other, a plan started to form in his mind. He smirked; this would be the perfect prank.

By the next day, he had everything he needed for the prank. He left home early, and got to class before anyone else. The teacher wasn't in there- but his water bottle was. Kisshu had noticed early on that the teacher always had a water bottle with him.

Smirking, Kisshu poured a bottle of red food coloring into the bottle, shook it up, and snuck out.

He came back a minute before class started, and found the other students there already. He took a seat as the teacher came in, and went to the front of the room. He took one look at his water bottle- and screamed.

"Sensei, what's wrong?" a girl in the front asked, sounding worried.

"My water bottle has BLOOD in it!" the teacher screamed- then fainted. Kisshu snickered quietly, but no one noticed; they were too busy panicking over the unconscious teacher- and his 'bloody' water bottle.

"What should we do?" one boy asked.

"We could tell the nurse," a girl suggested.

"Shouldn't we find out who put blood in Sensei's water bottle?" another girl asked.

"I bet it was Kisshu," a boy named Kino said.

"But he was late to class," one of the girls said. "And where would he get blood?"

"How should I know?" Kino asked, sounding defensive.

The other students noticed the defensive tone, and one of the boys said, "I bet YOU did it, Kino. You were here before all the rest of us, you always try to make Kisshu look bad, and you hate the teacher. And your mom's on the hospital staff; you could have gotten blood easily, considering how sneaky you can be."

The other students started talking amongst themselves, until the principal came in and said, "What happened? Someone said they heard screaming."

"KINO DID IT!" all the students, including Kisshu, shouted.

"Kino did what, exactly?" the principal asked.

"He put blood in Sensei's water bottle, and Sensei is unconscious!" one of the girls said. "And then he tried to pin it on Kisshu!"

The principal sighed. "Kino, why would you do that?" she asked wearily.

"I DIDN'T!" Kino shouted. "They all think it was me because I hate Kisshu!"

"But Kisshu came in late, so it couldn't have been him," one of the boys said.

The principal looked at Kisshu, who said, "I didn't notice until Sensei started screaming about blood. It was amusing, but I didn't put blood in Sensei's water bottle. Besides, where would I get blood? I'm not injured."

The principal groaned and said, "Kino, you're coming with me."

"I TOLD you, I DIDN'T DO IT!" Kino yelled.

"You can tell that to Higashi-san, he came to inspect the school, and I know his talent is heightened perception," the principal said.

"Dad's here?" Kisshu asked. "Can I come?"

"Oh, very well," the principal said. "The rest of you try to wake up Hatori."

"Okay!" the rest of the class chorused. The principal led Kisshu and Kino back to the office, where Kisshu's dad was waiting. Ikisatashi Higashi was on the Council, and apparently it was his turn to inspect the school. He came over when the boys and the principal came in, and asked, "Everything alright?"

"Kino here apparently put blood in the teacher's water bottle and tried to pin it on Kisshu," the principal sighed. "He claims he didn't do it, so I thought I'd bring them to you, since Kisshu wanted to see you anyways."

Higashi sighed, and asked, "Kino, did you put blood in your teacher's water bottle?"

"NO!" Kino shouted.

Higashi looked at him closely, then sighed and said, "He's not lying. Kisshu?"

"I didn't put blood in Sensei's water bottle either," Kisshu said.

Higashi looked at the principal and said, "Can you show me the water bottle? I just want to see if it's really blood, because one of them could have put something red into the water."

The principal looked at the boys, and Kisshu said, "OKAY! FINE! I poured a bottle of red food coloring in the water because the teacher's so boring he could put a Chimera Anima to sleep just by talking to it!"

"But then why were you late to class?" the principal asked.

"I snuck out and came in late because I knew it would take suspicion off of me," Kisshu said.

"That was very well thought out- but you're still grounded," Higashi said.

"Aww…." Kisshu moaned.

The principal sighed and said, "I'll take the boys back to class."

"Alright," Higashi said. "Kisshu, come give me a hug, and let your mother know I'll be home for dinner, just not when you're done with school."

"Yay!" Kisshu said. He hugged his father, and then went off with Kino and the principal.
