The tune appears to have begun as dance music, to which words were later added. A music sheet acquired by the British Library in 1853 describes a dance, "Pop! Goes the Weasel", as "An Old English Dance, as performed at Her Majesty's & The Nobilities Balls, with the Original Music". It had a tune very similar to that used today but only the words "Pop! Goes the Weasel". The dance became extremely popular and featured on stage as well as in dance-halls. By September of the same year the title was being used as a scornful riposte and soon words were added to an already well-known tune. The song is mentioned in November 1855 in a Church of England pamphlet where it is described as a universally popular song played in the streets on barrel organs, but with "senseless lyrics": the use of alternative, more wholesome words is suggested. The following verse had been written by 1856 when it was quoted in a performance at the Theatre Royal.
The song seems to have crossed the Atlantic in the 1850s where U.S. newspapers soon afterward call it "the latest English dance", and the phrase "Pop! goes the weasel" soon took hold.[8] The remaining words were still unstable in Britain, and as a result, some of the U.S. lyrics are significantly different and may have an entirely different source, but use the same tune.[8] The following lyric was printed in Boston in 1858.
All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought 'twas all in good fun
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Settling onto the bleachers, each of the Sakamaki's and Mukami's looked towards Reiji. Their eyes asking if he had any idea of what this was about, only to get a small shake of his head. He was just as much in the dark about it. Something he didn't like at all.
So when the staff started filling onto the stage, sitting in their little folding chairs, students already seated, the auditorium became quiet. Though all eyes were glued to the stage and the three new figures that were sitting at the very end of the of the faculty seats. Eleven pairs of eyes were practically glittering as they bored holes into them, while the man and two girls were seemingly oblivious to the looks they were receiving.
When the principal coughed into the microphone, causing it to make that high pitched squeal, everyone in the school, staff, and students, human and vampire glared at him. All while he smiled pleasantly at them not caring in the least.
"I am sure you all are wondering why you were summoned for an unplanned assembly. And to whom the three new faces sitting on the stage are. Well, that is what we are here for."
The man paused, shoving his glasses up his thin nose as he glanced down at the papers on the podium. Making a show of 'reading' the names that were listed there. Drawing out the supposed suspense they were all supposed to be feeling. While soft whispers from the girls about how hot the man was, and the boys commenting on the strange clothing the two 'chicks' were wearing.
"We at Shizun High are getting two transfer students from Ireland. And a new teacher, who is also their guardian. I would like you all to give a warm welcome to Ryu Vantiri, and his wards Tician and Lunaria Dracos."
When he spoke their names, each individual stood up. The man, Ryo tilted his head to the side, making his long raven black hair fall over his shoulder, framing the long thin face as he smiled widely. As the blond stood up she just rolled her shoulder noncommittally, while the shorter raven-haired girl gave a small bow of her head, hands clasped before her.
A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle;
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
A small wave of nerves ran through her body as she glanced up at all the students sitting in the room. She felt like she was on display, something that was not a pleasant feeling. Standing there, doing her best to keep the smile on her lips as she looked out at them all, Lunaria wanted to run. But that would be a show of weakness in a school that was mostly populated by vampires. Having been raised with quite a few around her, hell her older half-brother had married one.
She blinked her eyes when she felt a small pinch at her side. Turning to look wide-eyed at Tician, who jerked her head toward the principal, Lunaria looked at the man, who waved for her to come over and stand by him. Swallowing and licking her lips she did, her feet feeling as if they were encased in ice.
"It is alright, you don't have to be nervous Miss Dracos. Just give us a little bit about yourself. Like hobbies, likes or dislikes, how old you are, what your most precious treasure is, you know things like that."
Blinking at the man as he stepped aside giving her access to the podium, Lunaria felt that strong urge to run build inside her. It was the soft sigh she heard mentally, before her sister spoke through their link, telling her that if she didn't she'd tell embarrassing stories on her turn about Lunaria. Twitching a little Lunaria gave in, knowing Tician would do it, with no remorse what so ever.
"I...I am Lunaria Dracos. I have lived in a small Borough of Sligo Ireland. I am...... sixteen years old. As for hobbies I... I like music, dancing, cooking, and sewing...My dislikes will be people who... invade my personal space, touch me without permission and don't respect me. What my most precious treasure is, well that would be my older sister Tician and my Uncle Ryu!"
It became easier for her to speak, feeling more confident as she did. Still, it didn't dissipate the feeling in the pit of her stomach. She had run across some interesting individuals while exploring the school earlier. There was no mistaking that they were Vampires, not when it made her have to restrain her own 'gifts' after being asleep for long.
Turning to look at the principal, who was looking at her oddly, his dark eyes shrewd in their quiet assessment of her, Lunaria waited for a few seconds. When the man smiled and asked her a question.
"How many languages do you speak, Miss Dracos."
Her mouth dropped open a bit as she looked from him back to those gathered and seated. It was not a hard question, but it struck her as odd. In the last two months that her sister and herself had been awake, they'd been learning this world's history and how to speak Japanese, since Ryu had told them they were moving there.
"Uh.....Irish, Chinese both modern and traditional, Latin and Arabic, though the last two are uh, that is a modified version. So, I please ask that you be patient, while I finish learning Japanese."
The smile the man gave her didn't help ease the tension that was building in her. Telling her that she needed to really run. When he nodded his head and waved at her to go sit back down, she did her best to go at a normal pace. Reaching her seat, to have Tician reach out and rub her hands down Lunaria's arms in comfort. Getting a softly whispered 'you did well.'
After seating herself, making sure to tuck her skirt under her, she finally let her eyes roam over the many faces, pausing as she saw the few five she had met on her adventures. Their eyes were directed at where she sat, along with Tician and Ryu. The sheer intensity of their gaze had her shifting slightly on her seat.
A half a pound of tuppenny rice,
A half a pound of treacle;
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
She had been listening as her little sister spoke, gaining confidence in her own words. Though not looking at her sister, Tician was letting her eyes flicker across the student body. Trying to figure out who would be fun to mess with once she had her uniform and started at this prison-like place. By no means stupid and ignorant, Tician knew she just preferred to do things with her hands, feet, and body. Often her mouth getting her into trouble, but she didn't care, made life more interesting.
So when her eyes landed on a group of boys that seemed to be intent on boring hole into her head, she smiled widely. There was her fun to be had in the coming week or so. Of course, she would do nothing to embarrass Ryu, that was a lecturing she would avoid. It made her glad that this school catered mostly to the creatures of the night, it was almost like she felt at home. Then again, she knew humans were very soft, squishy and easily killed. meaning she'd have to restrain her own strength.
The moment Lunaria finished and walked back over, Tician reached out and gave her comfort. It still bothered her to no end how timid her sister had become after the events of their childhood. How she still blamed herself for the things that had occurred when it wasn't her fault. So, after making sure her sister was sitting and comfortable, leaving the link open, Tician sauntered over to the principal, flashing him an inviting smile that had the man doing a double take. Then immediately began speaking into the odd little thing that made her voice project, when she was quite capable of doing it with magic, again a no-no here.
"Well, I am Tician Dracos, Lunaria's older sister. I am sixteen years of age. From the same little borough in the middle of nowhere Ireland. For things I like... let's see it is a long list. There is my little sister, the study and use of medieval weapons, my little sister, martial arts, anything that involves physical exertion of all kinds, again my little sister, telling jokes again of all kinds, my little sister and being lazy. I dislike anyone who upsets or hurts my sister, people with absolutely no sense of humor and being absolutely bored out of my mind. As for the most precious thing in the world to me is my little sister."
She paused and looked over the student body, noting that a few were chuckling and looking at her with interest. When her gaze landed back on the males from before, she saw a gleam in a few of their eyes. Oh, she had so snagged their attention, meaning they would be giving her a run for her money, not that she deemed they'd be a hard challenge.
"Do you speak many languages like your sister?"
When the principal asked his question, drawing her thoughts from the fun she could potentially have, she glared at the principal. Then with a loud and very rude snort before finally sighed turning back to give her reply.
"I speak exactly the same languages. So, if I continuously butcher the Japanese language, I don't care if you take it personally."
With that, she gave the student body seated before her a saucy wink and flipped her long blond hair before spinning and walking back to her seat. Not missing the fact that she had gotten a reaction from the group of guys. As she reached her seat, she reached out and patted Lunaria on the shoulder as her sister just shook her head at her in exasperation.
It didn't matter what she had to do, even sleeping with countless people, male, female, human, demon, and beast, she would do it for her sister. And she didn't care if people thought her sister complex was taken to an extreme because she would die if given the choice for her little sister. To protect her no matter what.
Up and down the London road,
In and out of the Eagle;
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
Ryu sat there watching and listening as first Lunaria spoke. Happy at how she gained confidence as she spoke. Only to relax a little bit as she stated what was precious to her, given the hell she had been through as a young girl. To see that genuine smile on her face, lighting it up till it looked like she was practically glowing made him feel at ease. Both the girls were worth more than all treasure in the world, both human and demon. No one could ever get him to betray them. And right now he was all that they had left in this world.
When Tician got up and spoke, he flinched and felt his mood darken. He knew what she was doing, more so when he saw where her line of sight was focused. Like him, her first instinct was to protect and shelter Lunaria. But now was not the time. The girl needed to back off her obsessive ways with the younger one. Each of them needed to grow in the coming months. Their awakening was not by random chance, no they were well aware of the prophecy. Meaning when it came push to shove, fighting to break out, they'd both have to fight.
The reason that Lunaria didn't fight, though trained for it, was a good reason. Her time as a child was long past, she needed to grow, spread her wings and fly on her own. Being sheltered was no longer an option in the coming days, weeks and months. His role was to be their protector, but to also condition them for that time. It would be a very hard task for him, he knew, because she could be the most stubborn, obstinate thing when she wanted too. Definitely, something she got in spades from both her parents. And in his opinion, the worst part was there was no cajoling or bribing her.
It was with a sigh he stood up when he caught the quick wave of the principal's hand. Shooting a dark look at Tician who just quirked a rebellious eyebrow at him, before jerking at being pinched by her sister. Ryu smiled and made his way to the podium. In the last two months, he had done his best to educate the girls, bring them up to date on the human world as a general and its technology. So different from the demon world. Where magic was still the staple, stressing what was acceptable and what was not. To help prepare them for living here now.
Putting on a soft, polite and charming court smile, he looked out at those gathered. Knowing that quite a few would be his students. So, giving a soft sigh, Ryu introduced himself.
"I am Ryu Vantiri. I will be helping in the history classes and after the new year, I will be teaching my own History class. The History of ancient cultures and civilization as an advanced class. So, if you have an interest in being in my class because you want to learn, then get good grades. For only the best will be accepted. Those that want to learn, to think about jobs that involve things like archaeology and other such things will thrive in my class. For I am a harsh instructor, demanding nothing but the best of those I teach."
With that said he glanced over at the principal, looking the man over with a hard gaze. He was not fooled by this man. While he looked human, Ryu could tell that he was anything but. Though unable to tell where this man's loyalties lied, Ryu had a feeling that in the very near future he would be finding out.
The moment the man walked back towards the podium, Ryu gave a small bow of his head, causing his long, satiny black hair to slip over his shoulder as his keen hearing picked up the soft sighs of the female populace as well as a few of the males that preferred their own gender. The thin smile on his lips was dark as he looked at the girls and Karlheinz. His right hand running over the silver and platinum band on the ring finger of his left hand. There was not a chance in hell for any one of the stupid children to draw his interest, he still loved his deceased mate.
I've no time to plead and pine,
I've no time to wheedle,
Kiss me quick and then I'm gone
Pop! Goes the weasel.
"Well, now that that is done, I'd like to remind you all to give them a hearty welcome when they start on Monday. You all are to immediately head to your last class of the day and then be dismissed early. And enjoy the rest of your All Hallows Eve."
The moment the words were spoken, every student stood as one and bowed respectfully, before they began to file out of the auditorium. Though there was a good portion that tried to lag behind to get another look at the strange new additions to their school. Already many were curious about them. Having questions like: "Why did they transfer in the middle of the year?" "How were they related to their new teacher?"
The last to leave were the Sakamaki's and Mukami's. Who was still seated and staring at the stage? Each had taken something different from the two new and very strange girls. None of them had missed the look, the blatant offer that the blond, Tician had set out, nor the undertone of promised pain where her little sister was concerned. While none of them could deny the fact that they had been drawn to the softness and brilliance of the dark-haired girl when she had smiled as she stated what was precious to her.
But the moment the principal had left the stage, the man, Ryu, along with the girls had vanished. But not before both girls had looked back to where they were still sitting. Their gazes on them, as if silently assessing or pleading in one manner or another of them. Then they were gone from sight.
Ah, another chapter is done. Well, I had it almost finished, while Chapter 3 has been done for about two days. It is fun doing these chapters. Helping to set things up for the coming mayhem. Hmm... already I have had an insightful review. And I am thankful for it.
So, as a treat, I will give some specks on the OC's.
Ryu Vantiri: For this story, he is only about 200 years younger than Karlheinz, so he is a little over two thousand. His height is and has always been 6ft 4in. Weight is roughly about 145 lbs. Again for this story, he Karlheinz cousin meaning (Le GASP) that one of his parents was a sibling to the Demon King's parents. Relation to the sisters is a secret.... will find out in the coming chapters.
Tician Dracos: She is the eldest of the two sisters. She stands 5ft 10 inches without her heeled boots, With them, she is 6ft even. Blond hair, sun-kissed tanned skin. Outspoken, brash and totally not afraid of her sexuality. Her age in human years is about 16 due to appearance.
But if you paid attention to when he woke them, she and her little sister are over 700. And already I can tell this OC is gonna have fun messing the brothers. The ideas she is putting in my head for some future chapters.. hahaha. And who she will go after first is just... (spasms in my chair)
Lunaria Dracos: The younger of the two sisters. The total opposite of her elder sister. Her total height without shoes is 5ft even. yeah, she is shorter than YUI, who is 5ft 2in. Which is what she comes to with her heeled boots on. Lunaria had blue-black hair, pale moon kissed skin. She is soft spoken, shy and keeps to herself. Has a strong streak and need to help others. Again like her sister she appears to be 16 in human years, but is over 700, meaning that both of the Dracos girls are way older than the boys.
As far as she is going, she doesn't have a particular boy in mind yet for wanting. Hell... you will all get to find out a bit more about her... in the next two chapters... I do hope you all have enjoyed this so far...
