It was nothing more
then a way to make him suffer.
Another plan, that Heimdall seemed
to think up on the spot like the rest of his half asserted attempts
at the detective's life.
But…of course…there is always
something that goes wrong.
---
"Romeo…and…Juliet…?" Loki asked slowly walking into the class and reading the words off of the chalk board.
"hm. A play… what ever…as long as I am
not in it, I'm sure it would prove amusing." He mumbled sitting
down beside Reiya who at the moment was watching the words with a
fire in her eyes.
'Loki Kun could be Romeo…and I could be
Juliet. That would be so wonderful…' she thought. A loving sigh
escaped her as she blushed slightly and waited for class to start.
---
"Alright class. I suppose you are wondering why the name
of such a well known play is on the board." Miss Himewa started.
She was cut off as the door of the class room opened to reveal a
violet haired boy in a black coat, compared to the regular green that
was supposed to be worn by the 5th graders.
"Higashiyama
kun, nice of you to join us..."
he responded with a scoff and
sat down kicking his chair out from under his desk in loud but swift
movements.
"Do you have a late pass?"
"do you have to
ask?"
"go get one Kazumi."
"hm-ph ya right. You want
one go get it yourself."
'oh no. Heimdalls in one of his
moods again…' Loki thought to himself.
Heimdall eyed the
board and sighed.
He took a look at Loki and remembered how much
Loki hated written scripts Loki was a freestyle actress/actor and
would discard anything someone told him to do.
Forcing
Loki to work inside the box would be something fun for a while
right?
"Kazumi…" Miss Himewa started with a sigh.
"well
anyway, as I was saying this is a fairly known play so you won't
make me stop to explain the plot right?"
the reply was an array
of nods and tired agreements.
"Just get on with it you old
hag!"
'I have a feeling I know who that was…' she thought
to herself.
"so, I need my two leading roles, the roles of Romeo and Juliet, so any nominees?"
Loki shrunk down in his
seat. As if it was going to make him less noticeable. It worked for
the most part…
if it wasn't for the fact Heimdall was waiting
for a sign like that.
"Loki." The watchman called.
Blankly the teacher turned her gaze to face the delinquent.
"the
first incorrigible idea I've ever heard out of you Kazumi." Miss
Himewa started
"Ano…" a young female voice started. Reiya
seemed to have similar thoughts as she second the idea of Loki
playing the leading role.
Loki was left twitching in the corner
for a good minute or so, when Miss Himewa continued
"alright
then is anyone against Loki being Romeo? Loki you can speak up too if
you wish."
Loki seemed about to dully raise his hand when
he felt something oddly familiar stopping his movement.
'Heimdall...
What did you do?!'
"Ok then, its settled! Thank you
Loki." Miss Himewa stated rather loudly.
'Note to self;
Kill one watchman.'
"Now we need a Juliet. Come on girls! Which one of you wants to play Juliet?"
A brunets
hand itched to rise. But she knew she would have the guts to play the
part. Knowing full well what the play was about. Being so close to
Loki? She'd die in rehearsals. Reiya sighed and closed her eyes.
She still couldn't bear to have another girl so close to
him!
For both his sake and her own, as Freya was nagging at her
mind, demanding attention, demanding that she play the part of Juliet
even if she had to kill who ever naturally got the part.
Reiya felt herself about to crack as another brunet near the back of the class raised her hand.
"Kazumi."
Heimdall proceeded to
cough dramatically and grip his table as if he was loosing his feel
on reality.
Loki on the other hand twitched a bit at the thought
of Heimdall playing a girl. But then of course, being the god of
trickery this seemed a perfect revenge for Heimdall as it was his
fault Loki was stuck in the dreaded play as well.
Unfortunately
the teacher had not heard the girl and had asked for an explanation.
"what was that Janet?"
the seeing impaired brunet pushed
her glasses up on her nose and smiled apologetically.
"Juliet
is supposed to be someone with unique features, and beautiful right?
Kazumi has purple hair for Christ's sake! And let's face it. Who
in this class is prettier then him? I hate to admit it but the
boy has got us all beat." A few girls sighed in retaliation. Of
course Reiya could have been called unique and beautiful but everyone
in the class knew her because of how timid she was. If she had been
called on she would have blushed as red as a tomato and most likely
have fainted.
'You can't be serious?! I am NOT playing
a girl!' Heimdall thought angrily as he stood up shaking in his
distaste and tried to refuse the offer.
"I re---" but his
voice escaped him. He had been bound.
Laughter filled his
thoughts and Heimdall turned to face the child detective beside him.
He wore such a satisfied grin on his face.
"Aw look he's
speechless!" Janet said giggling.
'NO NO NO!!! LOKI I WILL
EAT YOU!!!'
Loki laughed again.
"anyone opposed?
Heimdall? You can back out you know. I know it must be horrible for
your 'reputation' if you play a girl." Miss Himewa scoffed. Not
really paying attention if there were any objections.
Reiya again
twitched begging she had enough courage for once
'Heimdall?!
Playing that part?! They'll end up killing each other! Reiya let me
out!'
'…'
Loki sat back relaxed in his
chair as Heimdall tried very hard to fight off the binding spell.
"well that's great then! We have our two leading roles. Maybe
you can redeem yourself after wards ay Kazumi?" Himewa laughed and
wrote out the names of the roles and who ever played them.
Freya
shut down almost as soon as his name was written on the board and
Reiya lost as well.
The rest of homeroom went like that.
No
more Freya. Reiya extremely agitated but empty minded. Heimdall ready
to spring at anything that came with in so much as a 2 foot radius
(in which he moved his desk further from everyone) obviously not
taking in the fact he was playing a girl very well.
And Loki was
beginning to think there was something very important about this play
he had forgotten…
as school let out for the day Miss Himewa
said one last thing before she let them go.
"I hope you
understand what you've gotten into kids. Especially our leading
roles."
'Of course she had to say that. Now I know
there is something I've forgotten…'
