I sighed and dropped my panicle, it bounced then rolled away from me over the edge of my desk then it clattered onto the floor. I sighed and just looked over my desk at it, I sighed again. Do to me being MIA for about two weeks; (that's how long I was passed out for), Hollybella sure likes to leave important information out. Who really needs to know that if you use up all your magical energy in one go, that it causes your body to shut down and regenerate said magical powers, no that's not important at all.
Pash...
Now I have to sit here while everyone is at home on their days off.
Bah
They stuck me in the some random classroom while the construction workers mosey about doing the school renovations, making lots noise and giving me strange looks like I'm some stupid problem child. Every now and then the teacher that is supposed to be "supervising" me and said workers, comes in to make sure I didn't run away.
Pash.. Really where am I suppose to go? Sakura would kill me if I skipped off, so would the crazy mages I got as step siblings.
I sighed again.
"So much work." I whispered out and leaned back in my chair, forgetting about the pencil. The only good part about this situation is that I don't have to wear my school uniform. I very much like wearing pants, especially in the winter time, skirts and snow do not mix.
What to know the strangest thing? No one has noticed that my hair and eyes have changed color. It was like to them it has always been this way. Alistair said something about the cloaking spell having the ability to changed people's memories when released.
I find it strange; I wonder if my dad will notice?
Speaking of witch, how do I tell him that Alistair is alive?
Alistair, I'm still trying to process that he is my twin brother and that I'm a mage, and that my mother does love me, and that my dead aunt is now back to life as a 13 year old girl.
My life did a back flick and a dive all at once.
But I'm not as freaked out about as I believe I should be, in all its made a lot of things make sense. The next problem is trying to tell my dad that Alistair is alive and leave out the whole magic thing. Then there is my mother, ah, I really don't know how this is going to work out. Right now she's back in England trying to fix the war mage circle and trying to convince the mage council that I'm not some monster born of the devil.
I'm actually more like an angel, ha, funny I know. Well that's how Hollybella explained it; then again I'm starting to not really trust what she gets on with anymore.
She likes making me suffer for her own amusement. She's actually living with Alistair right now, since she doesn't have her magical powers anymore she said that there was no reason for her to being living at the family house in England. She wants to be normal and go to school here like normal people, and she said she wanted to be close to me, because she knows a whole bunch of stuff about void magic that no else does.
I got the worst feeling in my stomach when she told me that.
I like her yes, and she is the sweetest thing, but I can feel and see the evilness that lies behind her bright green eyes. She feels like the kind of person who loves to play pranks, and say embarrassing things for her own enjoyment.
But..
She was there when I woke up, confirming that everything wasn't a dream, to my utter disappointment. My mother was also there, she was a little shy in talking to me, scared to touch me; not sure how I was going to receive her. I caved in first and hugged her, and I for the first time in my life I knew what it was like to be held by your mother.
So safe, warm and just
Right.
She also went on to tell me that I shouldn't use my magic anymore, well not until her and Michael gets everything settle with the mage council.
Alistair was appointed my "watcher" or babysitter in the short like I can actually use my magic, I know nothing about magic, or spells, all I know is that one Hollybella passed on to me, and the hell with using that if I'm going to be thrown into a mini coma for two weeks.
Fuck That..
Lucy on the other hand has been crazy over me since I woke up, she started with telling me how sorry she was and for causing me to get caught and almost killed. Even though I clearly remember ditching Kurama and running towards that mage all on my own.
But no matter how many times I tell her that, it goes in one ear then out the other; she's literary driving me crazy.
Awwwa
I sighed again and leaned my head back so I could see the ceiling; I let my arms dropped loosely down my sides, and flicked my fingers back and forth as my mind drifted away to that stupid red head "Demon world huh?" it came out in a broken whisper. Kurama was in the demon world right now, he told me that he had to go because there was this demon king or something or other that wasn't really giving him a choice in the matter. Shiori and her new husband are on this nice cruse down south, and the younger Shuuichi is at his mother's for the month, she didn't want him to be in the house unsupervised, even if his new set-brother is almost 18.
Kurama never got into detail about why he was there; he just told me that it wasn't something for me to worry about in my current situation.
But
He left
He left me here alone
He left me here to think about him
He left me here to worry about him
That
"Bastard" it came out in a hiss as I clenched my fingers into fists.
"Swearing isn't very becoming of you" I jerked at the smooth voice and quickly spun my body around so I was facing the door. He was there, that red hair, those beautiful green eyes; that steady frame and strong arms; leaning on the door frame, smug looking and I could see the tiredness imbedded on his face and body.
He was also in our school uniform.
"Is that all you wear?" the words come out before I could think, I have gone over so many times in my head what I would say to him when he got back and I went and said something stupid, way to go Holly, way to go.
Slow clap for me.
Kurama simply pushed off the door frame and smoothly walked over to me, his feet never making a sound; it was like he was walking on air. "It seemed appropriate for coming to school" he answered back with none of his normal fake pointless in his tone, he was being normal, the normal that he hides from humans, because he was part demon, not fully human.
"We're on holidays" I muttered as he stopped and took a seat in the desk across from me. He gave me a weak playful smile and leaned his head on his hand that was propped up on the desk by his elbow.
"I have some business here I wasn't informed that I didn't need to wear this" his answer was simple but untrue.
"Oh?" I muttered glaring at him "So are you back for good?" I asked trying to catch him off guard.
"In a sense, I still have to make trips back at least twice a week, and I also have to train some new recruits." He stopped then and looked to be rethinking the information he wanted to tell me. Everyone is acting like I can't handle the different words around me.
If they only knew how easily I can find out.
But I can't use my magic.
Mother stressed that in a very scary way, I don't want to cross her; I can't fight at all."You know you can tell me what's going on" I dryly stated while I propped my elbow on my desk and leaned my head into my hand. My red hair fell around me in a slow fashion and some fell across my face as well.
Annoying.
I use my other hand and pushed it away, I'm regretting pulling it out of its pony tail earlier.
"I rather not, you have" I pushed out my cheeks and cut him off
"A lot going on already, yeah, yeah I know, save it"
"Can't you just be a little happy to see me?" he throughout in an annoyed yet teasing voice.
I jumped, I wasn't expecting him to say that, heat rose to my face "Well you just showed up without a warning, and I'm in the middle of work and stuff" I looked back at my desk top where my scatter papers and texts books lay. I let my eyes scan the mess for a few seconds before look back at him.
"Oh, then why are you blushing, Holly?" he said my name slow as he moved his head off his hand, causing his hair to moved slightly felling around his shoulders perfectly. The afternoon sun caught in his green eyes making them look more like emeralds then eyes.
There is truly a fine line between love and hate.
"I'm not blushing" I stressed also removing my head from my hand with a jerk.
"You are not very good at lying" he purred his eyes flickering gold.
I jumped up at pointed at him "Don't even bring him out Kurama, keep that demon side of you locked in the back of your head"
He didn't move but he did chuckle darkly before standing and leaning in close to my face "I almost forgot, you seem to be powerless agents my demon side."
Heart again rushed to my face and without warning I moved fast and took a fist full of his caller and pulled his face closer to mine "You're so infuriating" Those green eyes smirked at me as I tried not to take in his overpowering sent.
"No, you're infuriating" his breath tickled my lips as he move ever so slightly placing his warm hands over my fist "Remember we have a truce" he pulled at my hands causing me to lose grip on his shirt but as he did this all playfulness left his eyes and they went serious and stern, my heart sank with knowing knowledge.
"Holly I have to tell you something important" I didn't like his tone or the way he let go of my hands.
This is usually how bark up scene's go in movies.
Wait is he breaking up with me?
Will that's kind of imposable because we aren't a couple, even if we have already kis..kiss.
I flushed again.
"What is it then?" I stressed trying not to sound like this situation was bothering me.
"Holly lets be serious, no more games" the tones in his voice was getting colder and colder, my heart felt like someone was jabbing it with a knife.
"What do you have to tell me then, just get it over with so I can get back to work" I stressed annoyed, I wanted this over with as soon as possible.
"Holly" I jumped from the icily tone "You have to admit" his voice just kept dropping and dropping "admit that you are in love with me" I just looked at him and the seriousness on his face, my body went numb.
"What?" I had nothing.
"You heard me, I believe I have made my own feeling quite clear, tell me now if you don't have or have feelings for me" My face flushed with anger while he just kept his face cold like stone.
"Are you kidding me, that's what you have to tell me, I thought you were going to.." I stopped myself as the reality of what he said kicked in. "Wait, wait, are you saying you're in love with me?"
He sighed then as he body relaxed "and you call me weird, I believe the kiss at the temple would have been clear enough."
"Well you did that without my consent, and we were fighting, and" I stopped as I saw the look he was giving me, he was tried and on the verge of leaving. He came here because he wanted to see me, he wanted to know for sure what I thought I him.
And I have been razing him since he walked through that door.
I panicked.
Was he going to give up if I didn't answer him right now, was he tired of me? What if he walks away from me right now and never speaks to me again. Pain struck my heart as that thought passed through my head.
The thought of him never talking to me again, hurts.
It hurts worst then when my seal was broken.
Worst then when I broke my foot.
Worst then when my dad went overseas.
Oh my god, I do
"Kurama I.. well... I.." I fumbled with the words, and I could see the annoyance on his face grow, he was going to leave, he was going to leave if I didn't say anything.
"I..I,,." Damn it this was way harder then TV and movies makes it out to be.
He sighed and ran his hand through his hair "I get it" he stated with no emotion and dropped his hand and moved his shoulders ready to turn around and leave.
Panic rushed through me, my body moved as a force rushed through my body and my arms and leg moved before I could think. I grabbed onto his arm tight stopping him from leaving. "Let..let me finish!" I stressed moving him so he faced me. "I'm not good at these things" I added shyly.
"Oh?" he teased "You're not being shy right now?"
I jumped but I didn't let his go as anger rushed thought me "Kurama you, you" I was cut off from his lips crashing into mine.
They where soft and warm, sweet tasting.
I body melted into his touch.
I was officially powerless.
It was a quick kiss as he pulled back and touched his hand to my cheek. "You don't have to say it, if you don't want to" I just looked at him
"Then that whole thing was.. was!"
"I was just playing around" he smiled at me, his real smile; the one I only get to see.
But
"You jerk, I thought you where" I was stopped from him placing a finger to my lips then looked over his shoulder at the door. I sighed knowing what he meant and pushed his finger away and walked around him to the door, with one quick movement I pulled the door opened and in fell Lucy, Hojo, Alistair, and Hollybella.
"Really?" I stressed as they scrambled to untangle themselves and stood up.
"See, see, I told you they were in love" Hollybella chirped up bouncing around the group.
"I knew about it months ago" Lucy stressed trying to catch the girl.
"I was just making sure he didn't try anything, he is a demon after all" Alistair stressed sending a glare at Kurama who was simply leaned back on my desk looking very much amused.
"And you?" I question Hojo.
"I was trying to get Lucy and Hollybella to go home" he stated not meeting my eyes.
"You guys!" Anger flashed through me "I can't believe you would spy on me like that and me and Kurama are.. well we are.." I stopped myself as I looked over my shoulder at him unsure how I was suppose to define our relationship.
"Are!" they all stressed leaning in closer to me.
"Well.. we.. um.." I gave him another look; he just looked back at me wanting to know my answer as well.
"Me and Kurama are a..well we are..
"Holly! I have wonderful news" I got cut off as the room went dark and in a puff of red and blue smoke my mother appeared looking happy and healthy as she bounced over to me and rushed out in a very fast excited voice. "The council has agreed that you will study magic like a normal mage, isn't that great!" she opened her arms as she finished and jumped on me in a hug.
"AWHHW!" The crowd booed
"What's with them?" she asked letting me go"Shouldn't you guys be happy that they don't want to kill her anymore?"
"Rosabella you ruined it, Holly was about to say"
My mother stopped her sister with a grinned "That isn't for little girls to be talking about"
"I'm as old as you" Hollybella stressed in a childlike cry as my mother walker over to her and just smiled in a sweet yet evil way.
"Yes and no, now be a good girl and leave the adults to talk." She quickly grabbed Hollybella's head and proceeded to mess up her hair.
"Rosa you meanie, you haven't change at all, just because you're two minutes older doesn't mean you can boss me around!"Her voice hit a new toned of childlikeness as she pushed said sister away from her and glared.
"Hi, hi," My mother laughed holding up her hands in defence, she then turned to me and grinded with more evilness "Now what's this about you and Kurama"
I sighed in annoyance and threw my hands in the air "I'm done, I'm going home"
"Oh no you're not!" Lucy stressed sliding in front of me "Not until you answer Kurama,"
"I was until you all ruined it all!" I stressed back annoyed, I shutter from my anger as I felt that hidden burning in my stomach, I took in a breath and remember what I was told about how my emotions can trigger my powers.
"Don't be shy now, just pretend we aren't here" Hollybella cut in bouncing next to Lucy to help in blocking my path.
I sighed out in anger "Mom can you tell how to do a spell that will get rid of them?" I glanced over my shoulder to her, and sighed again because she was holding her hands in front of her with big round happy eyes. "What's with you?"
"You just call me mom... I'm so happy!" she exclaimed in a rush and hugged me again.
"Hey, stop that.. I just want to go home!" I cried as she let me go, still in her very much happy state.
"You can't go home, your school day isn't over yet" Alistair stated in a bored like fashion. "Come on everyone let's leave her alone" I could have hugged him for coming to my aid, but "I'm sure her and Kurama would like to be left alone as well" I just looked at him, is everyone agents me?
"Come on, really, why are you people making this situation so.. so..." I stopped as a chill went down my spine; I looked back over my shoulder at Kurama. His amusement was very clear on his face, and in his golden eyes.
Ah hell, he was so doing that on purpose.
"The situation is so what?" he asked pushing off the desk and walking towards me.
Has everyone gone crazy?
"So" I was frozen as he glided over to me, his golden eyes were locked onto mine, everything around me seemed to disappeared as he stopped and leaned his face down towards my own. His breath was sweet on my lips as I sucked in a breath and tried to keep my heart rate under control.
"So?" He whispered slowly making his breath once again tickle my lips, I shivered.
My mind went blank "I think I'm in love with you" I stated in a trance like state catching him off guard, his eyes flashed back green as he just gave me a confused look, almost like he couldn't believe he got me to say it out loud. I smirked at this and grabbed his called while he was still confused "You heard me" I stated and pulled his head fast and caught his lips with mine.
I chose to ignore the cheers and yells from my friends and family and the cries from Hollybella who was yelling at mother to let her go cause she wanted to see too.
I could feel Kurama start to relax into the kiss as he did I pulled away from him dropping my hands from his caller and smile "So what's the relationship now?"
He was still a little confused but he quickly regained his composure "You're my mate" he was cool in his words that was still serious and stern.
"Mate?" I asked unsure about this all of a sudden.
"It's a demon thing" Lucy called in before she grabbed me and spun me around. "I'm so happy for you, even if this took like a 100 years to get to" she cried happily and hugged me with a bounce.
"A demon as a son in law, I wonder how the rest of the family is going say about this and the mage council" My mother thought out loud.
"Wait, wait son in law?"
"Mate means you're engaged" Hojo cut in annoyed.
"Waite, I just wanted to be his girlfriend, that's a little too much too soon" I blurted out in a panic.
"Girlfriend" Kurama mused while he leaned his head over my shoulder "I can do that, for now" he kissed my ear before pulling back casing my face to burn red.
"Arh!," I threw my hand in the, I was angry, annoyed and bah! " I'm going Home!"
"Miss Jones what are all these people doing here and why are you yelling!" I froze as the teacher voice echoed throughout the class room.
I slowly turned around and grinned at Mr. Talkawl, "Umm... well, that's a good question sir" I turned back around to my family "What are you all doing here?"
Lucy spoke up first "Mother wanted me and Hojo to drop off Holly-chan's lunch, she forgot it this morning, and this is my cousin Hollybella, I'm looking after her for today and had to take her with me. Alistair had to drop off some paperwork for his permanent transfer here, and well this lady right here is Alistair's mother who had to sign the papers." I looked back over my shoulder as Lucy finished, the teacher simply shook his head as she went on "Well all kind of bump into each other" she finished with a warm smile.
"Well it was nice of you all to come visit Miss Jones, but she has a lot work that she must catch up on, so please say your good buys and be on your way, and Miss Jones" I jumped as I turned around to face him.
"Yes sir?"
"Next time inform the office if you have visitors" I gave him a quick nod while he looked passed my shoulders and nodded his head at Kurama, and with that he was gone.
I let out a breath "Thanks Lucy that would have been detection for a month."
"No biggy, but everyone we have to get goin.." she was cut off by three puffs of different smoke, leaving her with Hollybella. "Hey you guys, you can't just leave like that!" Hollybella tugged on her arm and smiled.
"I want ice cream" she giggled not before sending a wink at me then proceeded to pull the disgruntled Lucy out of the class room.
"I'll see you at home" I called after them as they disappeared from my line of sight. I sighed "Finally" I felt lighter as I turned around only to see the smirking Kurama sitting on my desk with his arms crossed over his chest. "umm.. I don't mean to sound mean but, why are you still here?"
He chuckled and tilted his head with questions in his green orbs "I was asked by the teachers yesterday if I would give up some of my free time to help you" I just stared at him
"You mean I was your business at school?" My face flushed and I move quickly to closed the gap between us and glared up at him with annoyed eyes.
"You are not impressed I take it?" he teased moving his hand and taking my chin in-between his thumb and forefinger, his hands where strong and smooth, there warmth made me want to sink into his hand and just stay here for awhile, but...
"No I am not impressed, if we're going to be a couple then you have to stop with the" I jumped as he stopped me with his other hand over my mouth, he moved so fast, I can't even recall him flinching.
"You know I can't stop myself when I know I can get you angry, it makes you look cuter" His tone was deep and calm; I pushed his hands away and pointed at him.
"You'll get cute!"
He listen them play, he listened as the former silver fox thief expressed real emotion for the human magical girl. It annoyed him to hear him so happy when the words he once knew was taken away by those hands.
He will let them be for a little longer, but sooner or later he was going to make the fox choose what world he belongs too.
And he knew; he was going to win.
To Be Continued !
