Chapter 9
History went quite slowly for Nobu. Not being a big fan of it, she ended up falling asleep with her chin in her palm and her elbow on the table. Though no one noticed cause her eyes are covered by her fringe.
"Nobuki." Slendy called to her but got no response.
"Pfft. I think she fell asleep." Ben snickered as he looked back at her.
"I can take care of that." Jeff smirked and kicked one of her chair legs, making it fall over bringing her along with it.
"Ahhh. I'm up. I'm up. Dad, don't throw water at me!" She screamed, but soon realized where she was. "Shit."
"Water, huh?" Jeff laughed.
"What about it?" she asked like nothing happened and it wasn't a big deal.
She stared up at an un-amused Slendy who had his arms crossed, looking down at her.
"Hihi. You know I'm not good at paying attention to something I find boring." She awkwardly stood up as she put her hands up in surrender.
"Don't fall asleep again. Now go to your next class." He said walking away. She noticed that indeed the lesson was over and everyone was leaving. With a sigh she grabbed her IPod and followed Jeff's scent to her next class, as everyone already left. 'how nice of them to leave me behind.' She thought sarcastically.
As she was walking down the hall, she saw Jeff enter a classroom. Following him, she was stopped by two hands grabbing her and shoving her against the wall.
"Hello, new girl." A male purred from in front of her.
"What does a human like you, doing here?" a female asked. Opening her eyes, Nobu saw a girl and a guy in front of her, trapping her to between them and the wall. 'This isn't gonna end up too well. And the others can see me too.' She thought panicking.
"Cat got your tongue?" the female purred with a smirk.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Nobu asked crossing her arms and leaning against the wall.
"Don't get cocky now." The girl warned.
"My name's Puppeteer, and this is Jane. We're from Zalgo House." The guy said pointing to Jane.
"Cool, I'm Nobu. Can I go now?" She said with a bored tone, pushing herself away from the wall.
"You may be Zalgo's niece but you're just a human. You need to learn your place." Puppeteer said blocking her way and pushing her back. Nobu was quickly getting annoyed.
"And we're here to teach you." Jane finished.
"Oh yea? And how do you plan on doing that, princess?" Nobu asked mockingly tilting her head.
"Watch your mouth human. You don't know who you're dealing with." Jane growled out. 'Ha, she's easy to rile up.'
"No I don't. Don't wanna either. Now I got class to go to, so move." Nobu growled glaring from under her bangs.
"You're not going anywhere." Puppeteer said, wrapping some kind of yellow glowing string around her, holding her there.
"You got a big mouth for someone so weak." Jane glared stepping closer to her.
"Come on, I could kill you in a blink of an eye and you wouldn't even know what hit you." Nobu glared back. That earned her a punch from Jane. That got the attention of Jeff and the others, as they watched from the window, their teacher not there yet.
"Who do you think you are, bitch? Talking big like that?" Jane shouted as Puppeteer smirked in amusement. The left end of Nobu's lips started bleeding from the punch.
"I'm just stating a simple fact." She said licking the blood.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you. Show your eyes." Jane glared.
"What if I don't want to?" Nobu asked smirking.
"Then I'll make you." Puppeteer said stepping closer and taking a hold of her jaw.
"You don't wanna do that." Nobu glared daggers at him.
"You don't tell me what to do princess." He growled.
"Or what you get your she bitch to hit me again? I'm warning you. Don't touch my eyes." Nobu warned in a dark tone.
"What'd you say bitch?" Jane said punching her in the stomach as Nobu grunted in pain.
"Is that all you can do?" Nobu smirked spitting out blood as it slid down her chin.
"Jane stop." Puppeteer held her back before she could hit Nobu again. "I want to see her eyes."
"This is your last warning. You'll regret it. I won't go easy on you." Nobu growled struggling against Puppeteer's strings.
"What can you do? You're just a petty human." Jane laughed as puppeteer reached for her bangs.
"Don't say I dint warn you." Nobu said now suddenly calm. She released her illusion form, her wolf ears and tail appearing with her Hell Hound powers breaking through.
Their eyes widened as realization hit them but it was too late. Nobu broke free of Puppeteer's string like it was a spider web, punching him in the stomach in the process.
"Bitch." Jane yelled and went at her with a knife. Nobu dodged it and twisted her wrist. As the knife hit the floor, she heard a satisfying snap and Jane's scream.
Puppeteer used his strings again but realising it will do nothing, he sent a kick at Nobu's side. She blocked it and as he threw a punch at her head she grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm behind his back, dislocating his shoulder, snapping his elbow joints and breaking his wrist in one swift move. Nobu let him fall to the floor screaming.
Jane charged at her again, the knife in her other hand now and tears running down her face. Nobu dodged it and stepping behind her, grabbed her head and bashed it hard against the wall, knocking her out.
"Nobuki! What do you think you're doing?!" Zalgo shouted running up to them.
The scene looked pretty bad; Jane on the floor, wrist broken and bleeding from her head, while Puppeteer kneeled there hugging his broken arm against his chest, Nobu standing above them smirking.
"Self-defence." She said crossing her arms.
"What happened?" Slendy asked coming from the opposite way.
"Nobuki did this." Zalgo said angrily gesturing to the two injured ones as Slendy turned to her expectedly.
"They attacked me and I defended myself. I didn't do anything wrong. I just did what I've been taught." Nobu glared defending herself.
"We didn't do anything." Puppeteer mumbled weakly, Zalgo looked back at Nobu angrily.
"What? You believe him over your own niece?!" she asked in disbelief. "They attacked me cause they thought I was a human and tried to uncover my eyes."
"Did you warn them?" Slendy asked.
"Yes!" Nobu said annoyed as Slendy looked at Zalgo, gesturing to Nobu, giving her the right.
"We will talk about this later in front of the principal." Zalgo said as he picked Nobu up by the back of her shirt and threw her into her next class, kicking her in the butt as she fell on her face.
"Gee, uncle Zal, you could have kicked me in the ass with a little less force." She growled standing up and crossing her arm.
"Not another word. Go sit down." He commanded glaring at her.
"Fuck you." She hissed but walked to the same spot as in the other room.
"This is her medical prescription. She should take one every three hours." Zalgo said ignoring her and handing Slendy a jar full of purple lollypops with clear wrappers.
"Stop making it sound like I'm out of some sort of loony bin." Nobu glared as Zalgo glared back.
"It's special candy that I made to keep her blood lust under control and prevent situations like this from happening." Zalgo shouted the last part at her.
She flipped him off as he shut the door and carried his students away.
"Nobuki, although you warned them, please try and stay out of trouble. Here." Slendy said and lobbed one of the lollypops at her. "Oh, and I won our little bet." As Nobu groaned in annoyance slamming her head on the table he left.
"That was so cool." Jeff said grinning at her.
"You totally kicked their asses like a boss." Ben cheered.
"Hello class." A happy voice called, making them shut up. Nobu snapped her head up, smiling at the slender that entered the room. She plopped the lollypop in her mouth and walked up to him.
"Oh, you must be Nobuki. Zalgo's niece right?" he asked happily.
"Hello." She smiled warmly at him.
"My name is Splendorman, I'll be your Literature teacher from now on." He grinned. 'Literature cool.'
"Hmm? Why do you hide your eyes. I'm sure they're very pretty." He said reaching for them.
"Splendy no!" most of the class shouted but it was too late.
Nobu summoned some black smoke that morphed into a jet black katana in her hand, the substance is like some kind of translucent crystal, but it looks pretty tough and razor sharp. She pinned Splendy to the wall beside the black board, the blade pressed against he's neck.
"Don't. Ever, try that again. Uncle Splendy." Nobu growled her ears sticking to her head.
"You remember?" Splendy asked surprised as he pushed her blade away from his throat.
"Yup." She said grinning up at him, and making her katana morph back to the black smoke and dissolve into the air.
"I missed you kiddo." He suddenly hugged her, grinning like mad.
"Uncle . . . can't . . . breath." Nobu chocked out as she felt her rib cage tighten.
"Splendor, let her go!" EJ shouted.
"You'll kill her." Said LJ.
"Oh, sorry." Splendy apologised, placing her back on her feet.
"It's ok, just don't do that again." She swayed holding her chest.
"Do the others know? Does Zalgo know?" Splendy's smile dropped as he thought of Zalgo.
"Only you and Slendy so far and no, I don't trust Zalgo with it at the moment." Nobu frowned.
