Chapter 23: Ridiculous Rumors and a Suspicious Friend
(DAY TWO) 11:45 am
Kurama's POV:
School has been a bit on the frustrating side, mainly due to rumors and foolish humans believing it as the truth. Apparently, there is gossip circulating that I'm in a relationship with a male senior from the cheer-squad. Typically, this would not even grab the slightest portion of my attention, but these people are far more persistent than I'd expect; it's even to the point where I can't think properly- let alone contact Koenma in private (if I could for that matter since I am unable to connect to Spirit World).
^Who would have known simple mortals could cause you this much trouble. ^
*I don't need you pestering me either, fox. I can't believe I have to actually be concerned with something so futile. *
My solution ends up being far simpler than I'd imagine. I explain briefly to those getting on my nerves to mind their own damn business.
╭₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪₪╮ 12:10 pm
The bell finally indicates the start of lunch and I make my way down the C wing to grab my bento box from my locker, when I run into two females, Aisha's friends.
We converse about curriculum for a while, and then why I decided to study here in America.
Slight unease washes over me, especially because of the blonde girl, Aurora. Although her speech is polite, her eyes state; I don't trust you.
Mizzy, the short brown-haired girl is cheerful but is oblivious to her friend's discomfort.
"Say Shuichi, isn't Aisha your partner for the project in English?" Mizzy questions.
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"You might end up having to do the project on your own; she tends to get sick a lot." Aurora responds.
"I'm sure Mrs. Havrilchak will understand, I just hope Aisha's grade doesn't drop." Mizzy adds in.
"She really needs to come to school more often, at this rate she'll have a lot of trouble catching up again." Aurora says to Mizzy.
Both girls explain that since elementary school, Aisha has always gotten ill easily and ends up missing a good portion of school.
"I suppose I'll try to get in touch with her before I make my decision. Thank you." I state with a smile.
"No problem." Aurora states, trying to smile a bit, but her demeanor states otherwise.
Mizzy grins brightly adding; "Yeah, so want to join us? After we're done eating, we're going to head to the library, maybe you can get some work done too."
Before I have a chance to reply, Aurora stutters; "Uh, M-mizzy didn't we have an HCC meeting to go to?"
"We do? Huh, I thought it was next Wednesday…"
"Not to pry, but what exactly is HCC?" I question curiously.
"It stands for Hispanic Culture club, oh yeah! You haven't signed up for any clubs, right?" Mizzy asks, her eyes sparkling a bit.
"You could join Japanese club too, Mizzy, we really need to go." Aurora sounds a bit unnerved.
"Okay, okay, maybe next time we can help you out?" Mizzy says with a small smile.
"That's fine with me. I'm in no rush." I say.
"Yeah-"Mizzy halts her sentence when she realizes Aurora has already sped down the hallway.
"Sorry, she hates being late, see you later Shuichi!" With that said Mizzy chases after her friend Aurora.
^That girl…she really doesn't seem too fond of you. ^
I sigh, the fox has a point.
*Though, I don't have a clue as to why. I haven't done anything to her. Perhaps something else is troubling her. *
Third Person POV:
Aurora can't face him any longer. Her mind is reeling, even as Mizzy chats up a storm.
"Don't you think Shuichi is super cute? He seems like a really sweet…"
The blonde blocks out Mizzy's rabbling and ponders, 'Why doesn't she see that something's up with that Shuichi guy?'
Although the redhead didn't do anything wrong, unease bubbled in Aurora's gut.
The exchange student's eyes are remarkable. Darkness and wisdom beyond human years blare in them. In a falsely casual manner, he examines them both carefully, as if to assess beyond their personalities. As innocent as their conversation is, she can't help but to maybe believe there is some truth to what Aisha was yelling about yesterday, this bizarre boy isn't all that he appears to be, that must be it. Aurora tells herself. Shivers crawl up the blonde's spine as she thinks about his inhuman stare- like Shuichi was seeing through every crumbling layer she built around herself.
"I'm telling you, it's really him! Who the hell else would be able to control plants?!"
Aisha's voice lingers in the blonde girl's mind as she tries to make sense of why her emotions are going against her logic.
"Heelloo? Aurora? Did you hear a word I said?" Mizzy questions.
The girl in question giggles nervously. "Sorry, I was just lost in thought." and continues with her pace, making sure the redhead is out of sight.
Abruptly, she halts to a stop.
"Aurora...what is up with you-" Mizzy tries to ask but Aurora states; "Don't you think there's just something off with that guy?"
"Well, maybe his hair color, but not really…He's fine as hell." Mizzy ponders out loud, smiling. "Then again he's too polite to be real!" The wavy brunette adds, laughing.
"I don't know, Mizzy-his eyes, they kind of terrify me." The blonde mutters half of her sentence in a mere whisper then continues. "I can't exactly give you a reason, but it's as if he's trying to evaluate beyond us."
"Oh, come on! Yeah right. I think you're just paranoid…" Mizzy trails off letting the blonde respond.
"I suppose you're right, but I still can't say I feel comfortable around him." Aurora adds.
"Besides, I don't think he has any friends yet. It doesn't help that there's a bunch of rumors going around about him going out with that jerk on the cheer-squad." Mizzy adds, changing the subject. Aurora catches on quickly that Mizzy is disregarding her fears. Feeling more than just hurt, she recalls something Aisha said the day before. Her best friend's voice blares in her head again,
"I thought he was too good to be true, and I was right…he's the real thing…. he's a fucking monster!"
When Aisha was freaking out, Aurora didn't really register what she said; she heard but didn't listen.
"If you find my body chopped up, you'll know who did it."
"Isn't that senior always starting things like that?" Aurora questions, trying to push back her doubts.
'I must be really crazy to think it's even possible for an anime character to come to life. Either way, there is something off about him and I don't trust him…Still, I should text Aisha and see if she's okay.' Aurora states to herself, pulling out her phone. Mizzy continues talking about the other rumors that the cheer-squad senior has spread so far in the school year.
"Definitely, I heard once he…" Mizzy's voice fades into the lunchtime background noise of North high school.

"Has anyone seen Aisha? I really don't get this." Rina questions the mismatched group of teenagers around her.
Rina, the abusive, former best friend of Aisha, still feels bitterness for the girl deserting her, but is waiting for the right moment; the chick will come to her 'senses', after all the two of them were best friends for a long time!
"Why, do you need help with something, Rina?" Asks Slashly, her brown eyes pressing on, and her short curly hair bounces with life.
Slashly, acts nice enough but rubs it in too hard when it comes to "knowing" things, even if she doesn't possess the knowledge herself. She will simply make you believe she is 'beyond intelligent'. She was not always this way though; she was once a humble being.
"I don't think you can help her with this crap, Aisha's the only one who actually gets this boring stuff." Claire states as she glances at the paper now in Chet's hands.
Claire, the former childhood friend of Aurora and Aisha, is currently in the process of a double betrayal. She's doing this by taking the side of a jerk who harasses and manipulates others for his own amusement, especially her own friends. Claire is on the gullible side, is easy prey to get back at Aurora and Aisha. Robert, the said jerk once was obsessed with owning Aurora.
Chet was also close to Aurora and Aisha at one point, but after he started dating Claire, he also turned his back on his friends. Even his relationship with Claire is a mess, for he's cheating on her. Robert and Chet bond well due to their shared disrespect towards females.
"Oh, please I bet I could solve it-" Robert snatches the paper out of Chet's hands and pales slightly more…if that is even possible considering his ghostly complexion. A racist white boy and a total sadistic freak, Hunchback Robert enjoys being in control of this mix of teens. He also laughs in their wake for turning on their former friends with such ease. These idiots have no clue what's coming to them. He thinks to himself, suppressing an evil cackle. Too bad he's terrible with literature, history, and science.
"You could ask the blonde bitch, she'd know, Robert responds with disgust. "I doubt that dark retard would understand this shit!"
Chet breaks into a fit of laughter, and Claire chooses to ignore his comment. Rina grins hard and Slashly hides her giggle behind her hand.
"Darn just when I need Aurora she isn't here!" Claire shouts to the group and they nod in agreement.
"What do you need help with? Long as it isn't any of that dumb poetry shit." Chet asks his 'girlfriend'.
"It's biology junk, gosh I really hate doing it!" Claire shouts. "Aurora's supposed to explain this to me!"
"Yeah, I can't help you there, how about you guys?" Chet questions.
They all reply in some way or form, a clear no.
"Damn idiots, they should make themselves useful." Robert comments and the group simply agrees, as if they are extremely influenced beyond repair, robotic.
A shadowy aura surrounds Robert and soon engulfs the others. Their eyes are void of life, and a plastic grin lingers on their faces. They all chuckle as if this is the way things are supposed to be.
『••• •••』
As Kurama passes by the cafeteria he senses an obscure aura, but as quickly as it appears it vanishes without a trace.
*This has happened before if only I could figure out a method of weeding this demon out without endangering anyone. * The redhead thinks to himself and decides to attempt contact with Koenma again.
*For now, Aisha is safe resting at home, but what exactly about this school has attracted so many negative energies? *
To be continued…
My notes: This chapter is 7 pages long on 12-inch font. I know it's been many chapters since you've heard about Aisha's friends, but worry not they play an important role! Please let me know if there is any confusion!
Rock On and Peace Out!
