Alright, I'm glad to see more people following my story. I am glad that some of you are enjoying this story, though others are not. So thank you all very much. Please enjoy this chapter.
Winter's POV
"What the hell?" the words roll off my tongue as I see the two boys at the table. Rin looks up at me and grins while Yukio stares down at the table, a slight blush covering his cheeks. Hastily, I move my gaze back over to Rin and take a seat beside him. Ukobach instantly appears on my shoulder.
'Winter! Winter! I made another batch of chocolate covered strawberries!' He says enthusiastically.
"Thank you. I'm sure I'll love them." I whisper back to the little demon and he blushes before running off to the kitchen. "Um, Rin," I call, checking my watch. He looks over to me and raises a brow, gesturing for me to go on. "You said in about ten minutes that we were going to leave eleven minutes ago."
"Well then come on!" he yells, grabbing my arm and pulling me along until we reach Cram School. Yukio was behind us. "We're doing run arounds so Yukio won't be with us." He whispers.
"Run arounds?" I ask.
He nods his head, pulling open a door that wasn't familiar to me. "Yeah. Run arounds are where giant frog demons chase us in a circle and we have to get away from them and not get caught. The…teacher-if that's what you can call him-has the levers that can hold the frogs back. That's basically all you do." He explains as we enter the room.
The room was huge. There was a ladder leading down onto the ground which reminded me of a relay race because it was just one big circle. There was a very high podium in the middle of it that had multiple levers just like Rin had said. There were also the frog demons that he had mentioned. There were about four or five of them in the ring. Rin nudges my shoulder with his, motioning for me to follow him so I do. He walks over to the others and I hear someone call my name. It was Shiemi.
"Winter!" She yells and runs up to me. "Hi! You haven't done this before have you?" she asks and I shake my head no. "Well, you can't be worse than me." She says a little embarrassed and rubs the back of her head.
I smile. "Where's your uniform?" she asks me and I freeze.
"My what?" I ask.
"You know, your uniform. Your PE uniform. I used to wear a kimono but I kept getting in trouble so now I wear the gym uniform. I think it's mandatory." She says.
I turn to Rin who was just behind me, talking to Shima, Bon, and Miwa. "Um, Rin?" I call timidly, not wanting to interrupt him. He halfway turns to me.
"Yeah?"
"Shiemi says I have to wear a PE uniform but I don't really have one so what? Will the teacher give me one or…?" I trail off, wanting him to fill in.
"Yeah when he gets here you will get a uniform like Shiemi's." He says pointing to Shiemi for enfaces. "A pair of red sweat pants and a plain white shirt."
I look at him dubiously. "So…the teacher knows my size?" I ask and he nods. "Well okay then. I should have figured that we have to wear a uniform when I saw you wearing that," I say, pointing at his PE uniform. "at the dorm."
He nods. "Yeah-"
"Okay everyone!" A weird sounding high voice cuts Rin off. I turn to see a man with a five o'clock shadow and a narrow face looking at me. "Ah, you must be Winter!" He exclaims and I nod. "Well I have your gym clothes right now. So come and get them and get changed! We'll be waiting!" He cooes and throws me my clothes from the high podium. I catch them and just stand there. "Well, what are you waiting for?" He asks me.
"Um, I don't know where the locker-room is." I say and I hear Rin give out an exasperated sigh before coming and taking my wrist.
"I'll show her!" He yells over his shoulder before walking me and stopping in front of yet another large, unfamiliar door. "Change." He says and jerks his head towards it.
"Thanks." I reply before entering the locker-room. Silently, I change; taking in my surroundings as I do so. In a minute, I'm out and walking back to the gym with Rin. When he first saw me in my gym clothes he quickly looked away before motioning for me to follow him back.
We enter the now silent gym to see that everyone's staring at me. Shima, Bon, and Miwa were all blushing when they saw me and I raised a brow before Rin cuts them a glare.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" I ask Shiemi when I see her.
"Um, you're really pretty and the gym uniform fits you pretty well so…" she trails off.
I blink and turn to the boys, they were all still staring at me except Rin, who was glaring at the ones who were.
"Now now, everyone!" The instructor says, clapping. "Let's have Bon and Miwa show us how to properly escape from a demon." I look over to see Miwa slowly climbing down the latter and Bon jumping down. "And…go!" yells the teacher, pulling levers. Instantly, two frogs start chasing both Bon and Miwa. Miwa seemed frightened but kept running. Bon had a look of pure determination on his face as he ran around. They both did fine. Though Bon, I think, did a little better. The teacher claps again. "Alright! Now I would like-" A phone goes off. He digs a phone out of his pocket and answers it. "Hello, Kitten~" He cooes. "What?! Oh, my kitten, how do get into that kind of trouble? Alright kitten, I will be there in two minutes. Yes, kitten witten, I love you~ Bye~!" He cooes again, hanging up the phone before whipping around to us. "Mykittenisintroublepleasedon'tdoanythingstupidwhileI'mgoneokayokaychow!" he rushes out before I can process what he's saying.
I turn to ask Shiemi what he said but she wasn't right beside me anymore. I look around frantically and find her climbing down the latter and hopping off, reaching down to get her shoe. I see a frog leap and before I can think about what I'm doing, I scream "Shiemi!" and jump in front of her. Just in time, too. The frog that leaped now had me in in its mouth. Its teeth were grinding into my body painfully and just when I think I'm about to give out, white flames burst out around me. The flames flicker furiously. Though I don't feel them, they cover me whole. Encasing every inch of my body in the pure looking flames. I feel a sudden surge of power come over me and I snap my head up, looking into the demon's eyes. I see a white flame appear in my eyes through the reflection in the eyes of the demon. Instantly, the frog demon releases me and I drop to the ground, feeling my blood soaked shirt stick to my stomach and back.
"Winter!" Is all I hear before everything goes black.
Alright. I will most likely post later today. I don't end a chapter on a cliffhanger and then not post until the next day. As a reader myself, I know that it's annoying when people do that. So I will try and post later tonight. Please tell me your opinions, thank you. Bye!
