for Kat school
Ch:4
The day before all of Saya’s needed school materials were brought over, her schedule was predetermined to meet the twins for most classes.
She knew that Haji had taken on a few students but she later discovered that he had taken on the orchestra class after the previous director retired several years before.
After Haji helped her in to her uniform she stepped back and even twirled checking his reaction.
“aww Haji come on you don’t get anything out of this.” She moved closer to him wrapping her arms around his neck.
“ahh there it is. Now take me to school.” He led her through the corridors and in to the parking garage. “Haji when did you get a car?” she asked as he opened the passenger side of a medium blue four-door for her before stowing his cello in the trunk.
“A few years ago, Joel thought it would be in good taste especially when you awoke.” They drove,
“The last time I remember you driving it was some time during the fifties, that was fun. You had such a hard time resisting the urge to honor Darwin awards to so many foolish boys.” She sighed looking out the window.
“Saya when we arrive I have a few hours before our first class, I will be able to introduce you to your teachers and walk you through your schedule.”
“Haji will it be weird teaching me first thing in the morning it has been a long time since I have played?” “No, I think when you start again that you will be teaching me.”
they drove behind the two story brick building. Haji helped her out of the car before taking his cello out of the trunk leading her in to the school and in to his office. “This is nice. Maybe I should get you some cheesy teacher stuff.”
“no need my other students already fill my desk with it on a daily basis.” He opened a drawer showing her the junk.
“I would return them however some of my students are quite sensitive.” “maybe I’ll just have some fun with you during lunch then.”
“we will just have to see how the day goes then won’t we, Would you like to play a little, it has been a long time and you have always played so beautifully.”
“I think that would be nice.” He opened the heavy plated case removing their cello handing to her after adjusting the tail spike.
“Haji you remembered.” “Of course.” He handed her the bow after neatly running the rosin along the hairs. “What’s wrong?” he rose to stand beside her when she did not start. “Nothing it’s just I don’t know what to play.”
“How about Bach’s Jesus Bleibet Meine Mreude.” “Mm yes I am a bit rusty though.” “should I accompany you?” “Yes that would help.”
He turned to the piano lifting the wooden veil to reveal the ivory keys. “Are you ready?” “Yes.” She watched his hands dance along the coolness of the keys as hers followed along with the movements.
“Saya keep the bow flat against the stings and watch the vibrato.” She chuckled as her hands moved faster over the strings. “Watch your stigatto.” He chuckled at their usual banter. “You play beautifully but I hope that you will still play the cello for me.”
“Of course. Sometimes I enjoy expanding my medium.” “You have been playing for so long you can’t give it up.” walking over to sit on the piano bench along with her companion, She wrapped her arm around his waist.
“Haji, thank you, thank you for giving me a reason to live, a reason to play again, a reason to smile, a reason to embrace our love once more.”
His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered “Saya I will do everything in my power to insure your happiness. Are you ready my sweet?” he stowed their cello smartly in her case looking forlorn as the walked out of the room.
Saya caught on to this wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. “Haji, it’s ok if anyone lays a hand on her I’ll slice them in two.”
This lightened he mood yet he was still vigilant as ever. The walked outside through the overhang connecting buildings and towards her classes.
They stopped in front of a heavy metal door that was covered in the tackiest decorations she had ever seen. Finding it hard to believe that this was actually a teacher’s door.
She looked up at Haji’s face in curiosity. “This is you second class on Mondays and Wednesdays. You will have my class every day first thing every morning that you attend classes however you’re other classes will rotate through out the week.”
He knocked on the door only to be answered by the silliest man she had ever seen, his outfit looked even more ridiculous the last time they had met.
“Haji what?!” she gasped grabbing Haji smashing in to the wall behind them with the expression of a caged animal clinging to her protective Chevalier.
“Saya calm down, settle my love settle. He’s not here to hurt you.” she looked at him in disbelief but relaxed some what.
“Pleasure to see you too, Haji how cruel of you to with hold information from your queen. Well it has been a long time since you came to see me did you get lonely.” Haji’s eye’s narrowed. “you know why I’m here, Nathan.”
“Well of course but does Saya?” he turned his gaze from a practically snarling Haji to Saya’s still confused and still apprehensive yet calmed a bit since Haji seemed to trust this silly man.
“Saya I will be you French teacher and you had better be my star pupil since you lived France for more years than most of my student’s parent’s have been alive. Although I can understand if a few things are lost in translation for time has been brutal to language. But you were taught by the best I made sure of that. a father must provide for his children.”
“What?” she looked back to Haji. “After we discovered that he did not die by your blood we planed to capture him and investigate the happenings of that night. However before we could he showed up on the Joel’s doorstep. If what he says is true than he is your father. Nathan where is Katana?”
“I think she’s arriving at lunch. Saya can meet her then.” “So you’re not really gay.”
“That my dear you shall never know, but one thing is for sure Haji is so much more fun to pester than James and I’m not giving it up any time soon. I see that you two have some news for me as well.”
He continued taking her hand to see the brilliant stones shine in the light. “Good for you it’s about time Haji. you do need to relax a bit you are always so tense. And I see that Saya has been a great help,” Nathan placed a hand on his shoulder drawing it through Haji’s free locks. “this is a nice look for you. and your scents mingle well it’s hard to tell where you end and she begins!”
“Nathan get off of me.” he growled kicking his abdomen sending his crashing in to his desk.
“Mm I hope he doesn’t do that when you touch him my dear.” He sobbed clutching his cheek. “Saya I think it’s about time to meet your other teachers.”
As they walked away Nathan called to them, “Say hello to Karl for me Haji!” they were a few doors away when Saya heard.
“Haji!” she shoved his arm. “hmm?”
“at least tell me that this is the last surprise.” “Karl will teach you history after lunch. And Katana, you heard what Nathan said but I will be there also. She can tell you better than I can.”
“But Karl? I mean if it was Solomon, I think we could trust him more than Karl.” His eyes narrowed at the thought Solomon, another threat to take his beloved away, especially Solomon.
“ah yes we can trust the traitor who kidnapped you, stripped you naked, and left you with only a dress which if I may add allows quite easy access to impregnate you against your will and let’s not forget sway you to the other side for experimentation on not only you but your children as well! No Solomon. No Amshel, just Karl, Katana, and Nathan.”
“Haji that is an awful thing to say. He probably only kidnapped me so that he would have minute alone to talk with out you threatening to neuter him!”
she hit his arm “Sure we all know that he wanted to have children with me. But Haji he wanted the conflict to stop and he was Diva’s chevalier after all. He did agree to killing her but Haji can you honestly say that if you fell in love with Diva that you would kill me if she wished of it? You said yourself Solomon stripped me naked and left me with only a dress if he merely wanted to impregnate me and drag me off to be a lab rat then he could have done it then. You just need to accept the fact that other people can love me, just like I have to accept the fact that every girl in this school is going to want me dead by my first class.”
“better Solomon than amshell I guess, you would have a better chance of your children actually being normal..”
“Haji I don’t know of any one who could have a more hateful relationship than you and Amshel. You know I didn’t like him either but he wasn’t that bad to me at the zoo. Joel was there to contradict him most of the time. But I know that he was awful to you.” “Once Karl was decristilized by Katana he lost all rage for you and found love in Katana. He is no longer a threat.” “But Haji Who is Katana?”
no answer, “Haji tell me.” “I will during lunch. You need to mull this over before you meet her.”
for the remainder of the morning they walked together around the campus, Saya met the majority of her teachers for a few did not come in unless they had classes that day. “Saya are you ok to see Karl?”
“hmm I think so..” they walked to a door in the southern most building. Haji nodded ramming his fist on the door making a loud echoing sound. Confused once again she met his mischievous smile. “Step back.”
She stood against the wall beside the door. The metal structure flew off the hinges heading strait for Haji but he raised his hand as a shield sending it rattling down the hall. “Bad day Karl?”
“Your late. You’re never late. You have been with Saya again haven’t you? Does she like your arms?” he grumbled as they stepped in his class room. “Poor Katana she doesn’t like my arm. Oh hello Saya how have you been? Well I see?” she nodded.
“When I first met Katana just as when I met you she cut off my arm. But now she doesn’t like it. She says it makes me look like a ningin.”
“Karl, Lewis could cut off your arm and you would propose marriage.” “hmm I guess your right.. Saya re you feeling alright, I hope you’re not upset with me, though you have every right to be. You’re happy now with his life.”
“it’s allot to take in right now.” Nathan suddenly appeared in the room handing a coffee mug to the depressed chevalier.
“Karl, why so down today did Haji upset you?” “I’m just bored out of my mind. all of the ningin surrounding me every single day, it’s like every time when I would visit the school in Vietnam only It’s every single day and I can’t even talk to Solomon. I’m stuck here with you two. At least Haji draws some of the attention away from me. The only peace I get is when I’m with Katana. Some times the shield let’s us take care of the people who are about to be executed but it’s not the same.”
“your lucky the shield even lets you do that.” “only on date night.” Saya looked disgusted at Karl. “You had better watch the way you talk when you are around our queen she was raised as a ningin after all. She can kill you again.”
“Nathan shut up. I still don’t care if it wasn’t for Katana I would throw myself at her sword.” He thrust his arm to the side hitting a globe that spun around as it flew in to the wall as he backed away.”
She looked up at Haji in understanding he nodded before she approached the troubled man. “Phantom..” he had not heard those words uttered in so many years, the feeling of them some how seemed to lightened his spirits as he turned around to face her with tearful eyes.
She wrapped her arms around his back pulling him close to her form until he returned the gesture. After a few moments they parted and she returned to the side of her own chevalier. “Arigatou, Saya.”
Nathan meanwhile pouted in the corner, retrieving the globe and placing it back on Karl’s desk. “Daddy didn’t get a hug.” “No you don’t get a hug. Only damaged people get hugs.”
“Ah ha, Haji must be really damaged then.” “Yes Karl, Haji is damaged. He’s even more damaged then when I went to sleep because Nathan has been pestering him all of this time.”
“Saya’s hugs..” Haji chuckled to himself. “hmm?”
“Saya it’s time to leave now, we both can’t be late to class.”
“No because Nathan would call the headmaster on you, Haji and then you would have to give dear Saya a demerit. And we can’t have you starting off on a bad note now can we?”
“Saya go now make lots of friends.”
Ch5:
Haji and Saya made it in to the classroom before most students arrived. Saya proceeded to follow Haji in to his office as he motioned for her to do so.
“Saya for my class you must play at least one instrument ever day. Would you like to take on Jonetsu again or should we find another?”
she thought for a moment taken aback a bit by the though of a choice. “I allow students to buy their own but only of great quality, or use the school’s instruments since many can not travel with them as we have.”
“Haji it doesn’t make any sense to use another. I am so use to Jonetsu, we can see how it goes after a while but I really don’t think we should get another. We can switch back and forth since you can play piano anyway.”
He nodded taking the heavily armored case out in to the classroom. “Haji-sensei? Who’s she? Is she new here or in one of your other classes? I’ve never seen her before.”
The class fell silent finding the air of wisdom surrounding this mysterious man. “This is Saya she will be joining the class starting today, be kind she is very dear to me and several other deans here.”
“And you’re letting her play your personal violoncello?.. hmm what a waste..” a sudden awe fell over the room whispers erupted from every corner, the acoustic panels not making it any better.
“Sachiko I will have none of your nonsense!” “ya ikee go back to polishing your flute and leave Okaasan alone right Otoosan!?”
“Misaki I will talk to you later. *Arigatou, both of you take care of Saya today alright.*” Misaki threw up her hand in salute.
“Okaasan come over here I have a seat just for you.” Hana called. “Okaasan are you really their Okaasan? But they call Haji-sensei Otoosan, but he’s not really their Otoosan..”
a young girl muttered from the side. “Misaki is Saya san really you’re Okaasan?”
“Well of course she is why would we call her Okaasan if she wasn’t Gina?”
“Don’t listen to her Gina,” Hana called, “Saya is our Obasan, and Haji is.. like our Otoosan cause he took care of us since we were babies but he’s really more like our ojisan.. kinda.. don’t think about it too much, it’s not creepy or anything. But we call Saya, Okaasan because she’s getting married to Otoosan.”
“See.” Misaki grabbed Saya’s hand practically shoving it in poor Gina’s face. Again whispers and this time curses filled the room.
Haji merely pressed a hand over his eyes before quieting the class down again.
“enough we have to at least practice before we perform at the opera house next Friday. “Hana have you seen Katana today?”
“Nathan said she would be at lunch.” Saya uttered with her chiropteran undertone. “First measure,”
Haji called to the violin section. After hearing it to his taste he followed each section through the pieces until a few minuets before the bell rang, handing out a few individual papers for late library books and such.
Saya carried their cello back in to his office before calling. “Haji do you want me to stow Jonetsu in her case or would you prefer the stand?”
once again tension flowed. Every student knew how protective Haji was of his precious cello, a few were even offended that she would even think to leave his instrument out in the open but Haji chuckled knowing that the class would go haywire at his casual statement. “Do as you wish my love.” “are you going to play for your next class?” “Most likely.”
“I will adjust her tail spike for you.” “As always then, Saya.”
Ch6:
The halls were a mess bustling with gossip mere seconds after Saya left Haji’s class. “Haji I’m going to be so lonely with out you today.”
“I will see you at lunch, and after history we will return home unless you have previous plans.” “I know Haji but I’ll miss you!” she jumped up wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his firm abdomen.
“Saya my love, I will call you from time to time if that will make you feel better.” His strong arms hoisted rear her so that she had to bend her head to look down upon his smiling face.
“Oh Haji this is much better, my neck was getting a little sore. And yes I would enjoy checking in with you every once in a while. Just don’t get me in trouble.” She pressed her lips firmly against his.
“Now aren’t you two setting a fine example for our students? Honestly Haji the school just spent a boat load of money trying to teach students not to get involved with their professors, your home life is one thing, and I dare say milk it for all that it is worth, oh I’m horrible. But I can not allow you to show such a display right in front of my classroom!”
“Does it bother you more to know that I have pleasured your precious daughter on every surface in my apartment or that I have pleasured my precious Queen on every surface in her apartment?” Haji smirked at the elder chevalier.
“oh no my dear son to be not at all because one day very soon you will call me Daddy and give me many grandchildren. With the help of Julia of course.”
he smiled at Haji’s look of disgust claiming victory. “but how?” Saya stared at the blonde mans amused grin as Haji set her down carefully.
“oh I have a very close connection with the shield. Now akachan you mustn’t be late for class. Sorry Haji you may not have my daughter just yet, now give your Queen a kiss and go teach your class you helpless little koinu!”
Haji bent down to place a tender kiss over Saya’s lips before whispering “Anata-o Aishite imasu, and walking away.”
Nathan called after him, “I meant your other Queen!” Saya giggled as a flash of light sprung from Haji’s hand, Nathan barely catching it in front of his lips.”
“Oh how rude, I was just trying to be friendly seeing that he is family and all. oh well he’s a work in progress. Two weeks ago he would have thrown a piano at me.”
“I highly doubt that. Haji is very protective of the things he cares for.”
“But my dear he swings around that cello case of his like it’s a pillow at a girls slumber party.”
“You underestimate him, he insisted that we put another five layers of armor after it already had ten, have you ever tried to lift his case? It must weigh about a ton and a half. You should have seen Kai try to carry it home. I had almost forgotten how strong he was until I saw that.”
“Such a beautiful man.” Nathan sighed resting against the wall. “You know it’s hard to find a man with a perfect hourglass structure yet such a handsome appearance. The perfect Romani, how he glides, so gracefully, I bet he’s a terrific lover. Hmm?”
Saya’s blush told him as that he needed to know before her shaky retort. “I don’t think, ‘that’ is any of your business, or a proper topic for conversation.”
“Oh deary you will find very soon how nosey and improper I am. He’s what 187 cm?”
“Nathan!”
“Oh but it’s Daddy now, unless my nickname already belongs to another?”
“You’re terrible.” “Oh most certainly, now the twins are calling you.” she stepped in to the classroom walking over to sit by Misaki, Hana, and their friend Gina.
“Ojiisan, did Otoosan break your desk again?” Hana giggled at her sister’s comment.
“He most certainly did, that horrid man. I did nothing but make an attempt to welcome him in to our family. He needs to have a personality transplant. Oh well he is becoming more sociable.”
“Give him time Ojiisan” “you two have it easy, he loved your father and you are so gosh darn cute!”
“And I look like Okaasan! That helps too.”
“Are we going to do anything today? Honestly I have wasted more than an hour talking about Haji- sensei’s stupid crush!”
Damatte-yo Kitanai” “Kodomo janain-dakara!”
“Sachiko! I do believe that my dear son has already mentioned to you that Saya is very close to many of the Deans here. And I will have none of your slander against my only living daughter, and no I don’t care if you are a wealthy little bitch. And girls in my class use French remember!”
Nathan turned around to the smart board picking up one of the electronic markers writing on the screen, ‘7 ways to make your ex.. or Sachiko feel like crap’ and then a bunch of fraises that I will be using later to make people feel like crap that I’m to lazy to write right now.
“Saya sempai, are you really engaged to Haji sama?”
Saya nodded to girl with blue highlights in the back of the room whispering only, “Yes.”
“how long have you known him?” ah the question that always challenged their love so trivial. She wished that she could really say she even giggled from time to time when the ‘abstinence’ talk was mentioned.
They could give the seminar though it would be more like ‘shut up you whiny baby’s you have no idea what waiting means.’
“my entire life.” She would answer hoping they wouldn’t press further then it would get messy.
“do you live with him?” another nod knowing what was to come but she stopped it before the conversation got too personal and to vicariously lived.
“we have lived together since we were children.” A partial truth though she was around thirty seven when they first met, she was still very much like a child.
“come on Saya give us details!” and surly enough it was Nathan who said it, allowing this interruption to occur for his own knowledge and curiosity.
“Nathan I am in this class to learn, relearn, French .. I think.. so teach.” “oh Saya teach you French? Haji would ring my neck.. although.”
And there it was Haji’s echoing call almost completely disintegrating Nathan’s desk.
“Nathan don’t make Haji mad he will be in a right state tonight I can barely keep him settled with Kai around.”
“oh really?” “Shut up Nathan.” “it’s Daddy.” “biologically maybe, but Joel, and George, they were my true father’s.”
“too bad, I guess you are a work in progress as well I see. Some day soon
Saya soon learned that not every girl was her enemy but that there were only a few categories that both genders fell in.
the first was taken. The girls in this category swooned over either Haji, Karl, or both while either flat out denied it or said if only I wasn’t already spoken for.
Their gentleman callers on the other hand grumbled in the back ground or talked up their reputation all the while knowing that they would be slaughtered in under a minute if ever brought in to battle between the two.
These girls seemed to be the best to make friends with.
Then there were the Karl fans. Danger danger written all over them. She learned quickly not to even mention the word Haji or anything that they associated him with around them for once said they would scream your head off on how wonderful Karl is and how her beloved Haji would be killed immediately in a battle with him.
After that came the more sociable yet devastatingly rivaled Haji fans. They were like the Karl fans, borderline stalker material. Some were kind to Saya but others wished to have Haji all to them selves and only wanted to treat Saya like dirt in hopes that Haji would one day fall in love with them.
But their were also the neutral party girls. They thought both of them were devastatingly attractive yet they had god and bad things to say about each. Honestly Saya did not agree with any of the bad things about Haji because most of them had to do with silly fantasies of putting Haji in board shorts, t shirts, something’s that she thought were rather disturbing, and some that she would be embarrassing to even mention to him to try.
She blushed slightly when she found herself actually taking notes from time to time but when members of each party came up with something really bizarre she had to write it down to insure her own and her chevalier’s wellbeing.
She didn’t even want to delve in to the thoughts behind the students claiming to be queer, however she did feel even more uncomfortable with the men staring at her.
Sure she was flattered by their attraction to her but she had only ever been with Haji and he was near perfect. She couldn’t even begin to think of what carnal thoughts filled their young minds.
It even scared her to some extent. She could slash away at chiropterans all that she wanted but humans were another matter all together. She resolved to speak with Haji on this matter once she met him for lunch.
She rounded the corner to his office cursing under her breath for Nathan keeping her for so long after class when she saw him.
“Haji! she yelled jumping in to his arms pressing her lips firmly on his. “Saya, you look weary.” He chuckled walking in to the courtyard still carrying her.
“Nathan got to you too?” “Yes Haji, he is funny but awful.” She snuggled against his chest. “I made lunch.”
He whispered in to her silky locks. “Yay!” she threw her arms up as he set her down on a shady bench unpacking a cooler. “this is for you,”
He handed her a large home-made bento box then took out two medium sized water bottles giving her one as well. “and this is for me.”
“Blood or wine?” she asked shoving rice and steak in to her mouth all the time. “Both.” He answered simply. “Arigatou.”
They sat in silence for some time as Saya finished her lunch before they were interrupted by a playful chortle. “Well, well what is this? Playing naughty school girl with your chevalier dear cousin?” Saya stared at her in shock.
A girl the spitting image of Saya but with one blue eye instead of none with red highlights stood before them. “Saya this is Katana.”
“Don’t waste your blood on me it won’t work.” “What?” “Oh I just thought that should take the question out it of it. I don’t want to fight if that is what you were thinking.”
“I don’t understand.. you, who are you?” Saya grasped for Haji’s arm. “Haji your killing us with your silence.” Haji threw a third water bottle to Katana smirking slightly as he offered her seat across from him and Saya.
“Thanks Hajji,” she accepted biting the top off of the bottle tossing it aside before continuing.
“I just want to be friends or well family, I’m your cousin, your mother had a sister, like you and your of course though I am me and I am my sister.”
“Chimera.” Haji stated to no one in particular. “Right.”
“My brother was a twin yet years after he was born they found that he had human teeth imbedded in his shoulder his unborn twin was absorbed inside of his body in the womb.”
“Right you are but in my case my blood is toxic to both of my cousins yet I am immune to theirs.
“but if that was true wouldn’t you have crystallized when your sister was absorbed in side of you?”
“no.. well.. yes but hat’s besides the point the bases of this fan fiction is that I am unstoppable and I am a good person even though my character is supposed to scream bad girl.”
“We could just decapitated you or drain you completely of blood.”
“Sure but not in this fic..” “So you’re a Mary sue?”
“Unh ya I guess I am.”
“Ok well I guess I will allow us to be friends cause were family and diva doesn’t count. But you can’t have Haji.”
“oh I wouldn’t dream of it. I love Karl”
“Well of course why else would he be alive I such a strict perfectionist author’s fic?”
“no reason at all!”
“you are absolutely right! Are you in my next class?”
“but of course, that’s the whole reason why Karl is a teacher! He hates kids!.. kinda.. Haji this is fantastic!”
“Always a pleasure to serve Kat.”
“you even splurged and got the AB- just for me. it is so hard to come by.”
“you really don’t care much for humans do you Katana?” Saya’s scowled in disgust at such an uncaring act.
“Saya you have to understand that Katana has altered her lifestyle dramatically and to take away every part of her enjoyment would not only be cruel but would make our relationship much more like ours with Diva.”
“Saya I wasn’t raised like you, I grew up being kind to people because I knew that I needed them but I don’t think twice feeding from them. I don’t go on bloody murder sprees for fun but if I take too much from someone it just doesn’t bother me.”
“Katana,” “it’s Kat.” “Alright Kat, how old are you?” Haji chuckled at such an innocent remark. “Ah you could be my great great grandmother! No, I’m only about a month younger that you.”
“My love there you are I have been looking all over for you!” you could see him from what seemed like a mile away in some what of a slow motion glomp.
“Katana my sweet have you made friends with our dear Saya?” Karl sat beside his new queen draping his coat over her snuggling in to her shoulder.
“Karl you are even more clingy than Haji here finish this and stop asking me questions in class I’m only in this school because of David and I barely tolerate him.”
shoving the remainder of her bottle to him, Karl’s face lit up once more clapping his hands together as he nuzzled against it.
“the gift of sustenance from my beloved one could not ask for a better day!” “oh my God, Karl your acting like a hobo again, no offence Hajjkins.” “Katana must your nicknames always sound like cancer?” “Yes they must!” “I think it’s cute Haji.” Saya gave him a soft peck drawing him closer.
“Hey Saya, you want a job?” “What?” “Oh poor Hajikins less time with your queen too bad..” “Karl, you forget I have an excuse to stay close.” “that and the rewards of Chiasa!”
“Wait Chisa? The same Chisa on Hiromi Avenue?” “yup! I started it about three years ago.” “how can you own ‘that’ kind of store. How can you work there and not feel totally embarrassed?”
“Ahh you get use to it, I need another person help me around the shop.” “well I guess it couldn’t hurt..”
“There is a local café across from Chisa the owner pays me to play during weekends but she is always begging me to play during the week.”
Giving her handsome chevalier a questioning look she couldn’t help but laugh as he continued to explain.
“it started to check in on Katana but after a while she persuaded the owner to offer me a job so that it would draw in more customers to both businesses.”
“whatever you say Haji.. whatever you say..” “Saya..” Saya traced her hands along his hands as she felt Haji’s suddle growl.
“you know Karl’s right I do like your hands better like this, at least part of the time..”
The day before all of Saya’s needed school materials were brought over, her schedule was predetermined to meet the twins for most classes.
She knew that Haji had taken on a few students but she later discovered that he had taken on the orchestra class after the previous director retired several years before.
After Haji helped her in to her uniform she stepped back and even twirled checking his reaction.
“aww Haji come on you don’t get anything out of this.” She moved closer to him wrapping her arms around his neck.
“ahh there it is. Now take me to school.” He led her through the corridors and in to the parking garage. “Haji when did you get a car?” she asked as he opened the passenger side of a medium blue four-door for her before stowing his cello in the trunk.
“A few years ago, Joel thought it would be in good taste especially when you awoke.” They drove,
“The last time I remember you driving it was some time during the fifties, that was fun. You had such a hard time resisting the urge to honor Darwin awards to so many foolish boys.” She sighed looking out the window.
“Saya when we arrive I have a few hours before our first class, I will be able to introduce you to your teachers and walk you through your schedule.”
“Haji will it be weird teaching me first thing in the morning it has been a long time since I have played?” “No, I think when you start again that you will be teaching me.”
they drove behind the two story brick building. Haji helped her out of the car before taking his cello out of the trunk leading her in to the school and in to his office. “This is nice. Maybe I should get you some cheesy teacher stuff.”
“no need my other students already fill my desk with it on a daily basis.” He opened a drawer showing her the junk.
“I would return them however some of my students are quite sensitive.” “maybe I’ll just have some fun with you during lunch then.”
“we will just have to see how the day goes then won’t we, Would you like to play a little, it has been a long time and you have always played so beautifully.”
“I think that would be nice.” He opened the heavy plated case removing their cello handing to her after adjusting the tail spike.
“Haji you remembered.” “Of course.” He handed her the bow after neatly running the rosin along the hairs. “What’s wrong?” he rose to stand beside her when she did not start. “Nothing it’s just I don’t know what to play.”
“How about Bach’s Jesus Bleibet Meine Mreude.” “Mm yes I am a bit rusty though.” “should I accompany you?” “Yes that would help.”
He turned to the piano lifting the wooden veil to reveal the ivory keys. “Are you ready?” “Yes.” She watched his hands dance along the coolness of the keys as hers followed along with the movements.
“Saya keep the bow flat against the stings and watch the vibrato.” She chuckled as her hands moved faster over the strings. “Watch your stigatto.” He chuckled at their usual banter. “You play beautifully but I hope that you will still play the cello for me.”
“Of course. Sometimes I enjoy expanding my medium.” “You have been playing for so long you can’t give it up.” walking over to sit on the piano bench along with her companion, She wrapped her arm around his waist.
“Haji, thank you, thank you for giving me a reason to live, a reason to play again, a reason to smile, a reason to embrace our love once more.”
His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered “Saya I will do everything in my power to insure your happiness. Are you ready my sweet?” he stowed their cello smartly in her case looking forlorn as the walked out of the room.
Saya caught on to this wrapping her arms tightly around his waist. “Haji, it’s ok if anyone lays a hand on her I’ll slice them in two.”
This lightened he mood yet he was still vigilant as ever. The walked outside through the overhang connecting buildings and towards her classes.
They stopped in front of a heavy metal door that was covered in the tackiest decorations she had ever seen. Finding it hard to believe that this was actually a teacher’s door.
She looked up at Haji’s face in curiosity. “This is you second class on Mondays and Wednesdays. You will have my class every day first thing every morning that you attend classes however you’re other classes will rotate through out the week.”
He knocked on the door only to be answered by the silliest man she had ever seen, his outfit looked even more ridiculous the last time they had met.
“Haji what?!” she gasped grabbing Haji smashing in to the wall behind them with the expression of a caged animal clinging to her protective Chevalier.
“Saya calm down, settle my love settle. He’s not here to hurt you.” she looked at him in disbelief but relaxed some what.
“Pleasure to see you too, Haji how cruel of you to with hold information from your queen. Well it has been a long time since you came to see me did you get lonely.” Haji’s eye’s narrowed. “you know why I’m here, Nathan.”
“Well of course but does Saya?” he turned his gaze from a practically snarling Haji to Saya’s still confused and still apprehensive yet calmed a bit since Haji seemed to trust this silly man.
“Saya I will be you French teacher and you had better be my star pupil since you lived France for more years than most of my student’s parent’s have been alive. Although I can understand if a few things are lost in translation for time has been brutal to language. But you were taught by the best I made sure of that. a father must provide for his children.”
“What?” she looked back to Haji. “After we discovered that he did not die by your blood we planed to capture him and investigate the happenings of that night. However before we could he showed up on the Joel’s doorstep. If what he says is true than he is your father. Nathan where is Katana?”
“I think she’s arriving at lunch. Saya can meet her then.” “So you’re not really gay.”
“That my dear you shall never know, but one thing is for sure Haji is so much more fun to pester than James and I’m not giving it up any time soon. I see that you two have some news for me as well.”
He continued taking her hand to see the brilliant stones shine in the light. “Good for you it’s about time Haji. you do need to relax a bit you are always so tense. And I see that Saya has been a great help,” Nathan placed a hand on his shoulder drawing it through Haji’s free locks. “this is a nice look for you. and your scents mingle well it’s hard to tell where you end and she begins!”
“Nathan get off of me.” he growled kicking his abdomen sending his crashing in to his desk.
“Mm I hope he doesn’t do that when you touch him my dear.” He sobbed clutching his cheek. “Saya I think it’s about time to meet your other teachers.”
As they walked away Nathan called to them, “Say hello to Karl for me Haji!” they were a few doors away when Saya heard.
“Haji!” she shoved his arm. “hmm?”
“at least tell me that this is the last surprise.” “Karl will teach you history after lunch. And Katana, you heard what Nathan said but I will be there also. She can tell you better than I can.”
“But Karl? I mean if it was Solomon, I think we could trust him more than Karl.” His eyes narrowed at the thought Solomon, another threat to take his beloved away, especially Solomon.
“ah yes we can trust the traitor who kidnapped you, stripped you naked, and left you with only a dress which if I may add allows quite easy access to impregnate you against your will and let’s not forget sway you to the other side for experimentation on not only you but your children as well! No Solomon. No Amshel, just Karl, Katana, and Nathan.”
“Haji that is an awful thing to say. He probably only kidnapped me so that he would have minute alone to talk with out you threatening to neuter him!”
she hit his arm “Sure we all know that he wanted to have children with me. But Haji he wanted the conflict to stop and he was Diva’s chevalier after all. He did agree to killing her but Haji can you honestly say that if you fell in love with Diva that you would kill me if she wished of it? You said yourself Solomon stripped me naked and left me with only a dress if he merely wanted to impregnate me and drag me off to be a lab rat then he could have done it then. You just need to accept the fact that other people can love me, just like I have to accept the fact that every girl in this school is going to want me dead by my first class.”
“better Solomon than amshell I guess, you would have a better chance of your children actually being normal..”
“Haji I don’t know of any one who could have a more hateful relationship than you and Amshel. You know I didn’t like him either but he wasn’t that bad to me at the zoo. Joel was there to contradict him most of the time. But I know that he was awful to you.” “Once Karl was decristilized by Katana he lost all rage for you and found love in Katana. He is no longer a threat.” “But Haji Who is Katana?”
no answer, “Haji tell me.” “I will during lunch. You need to mull this over before you meet her.”
for the remainder of the morning they walked together around the campus, Saya met the majority of her teachers for a few did not come in unless they had classes that day. “Saya are you ok to see Karl?”
“hmm I think so..” they walked to a door in the southern most building. Haji nodded ramming his fist on the door making a loud echoing sound. Confused once again she met his mischievous smile. “Step back.”
She stood against the wall beside the door. The metal structure flew off the hinges heading strait for Haji but he raised his hand as a shield sending it rattling down the hall. “Bad day Karl?”
“Your late. You’re never late. You have been with Saya again haven’t you? Does she like your arms?” he grumbled as they stepped in his class room. “Poor Katana she doesn’t like my arm. Oh hello Saya how have you been? Well I see?” she nodded.
“When I first met Katana just as when I met you she cut off my arm. But now she doesn’t like it. She says it makes me look like a ningin.”
“Karl, Lewis could cut off your arm and you would propose marriage.” “hmm I guess your right.. Saya re you feeling alright, I hope you’re not upset with me, though you have every right to be. You’re happy now with his life.”
“it’s allot to take in right now.” Nathan suddenly appeared in the room handing a coffee mug to the depressed chevalier.
“Karl, why so down today did Haji upset you?” “I’m just bored out of my mind. all of the ningin surrounding me every single day, it’s like every time when I would visit the school in Vietnam only It’s every single day and I can’t even talk to Solomon. I’m stuck here with you two. At least Haji draws some of the attention away from me. The only peace I get is when I’m with Katana. Some times the shield let’s us take care of the people who are about to be executed but it’s not the same.”
“your lucky the shield even lets you do that.” “only on date night.” Saya looked disgusted at Karl. “You had better watch the way you talk when you are around our queen she was raised as a ningin after all. She can kill you again.”
“Nathan shut up. I still don’t care if it wasn’t for Katana I would throw myself at her sword.” He thrust his arm to the side hitting a globe that spun around as it flew in to the wall as he backed away.”
She looked up at Haji in understanding he nodded before she approached the troubled man. “Phantom..” he had not heard those words uttered in so many years, the feeling of them some how seemed to lightened his spirits as he turned around to face her with tearful eyes.
She wrapped her arms around his back pulling him close to her form until he returned the gesture. After a few moments they parted and she returned to the side of her own chevalier. “Arigatou, Saya.”
Nathan meanwhile pouted in the corner, retrieving the globe and placing it back on Karl’s desk. “Daddy didn’t get a hug.” “No you don’t get a hug. Only damaged people get hugs.”
“Ah ha, Haji must be really damaged then.” “Yes Karl, Haji is damaged. He’s even more damaged then when I went to sleep because Nathan has been pestering him all of this time.”
“Saya’s hugs..” Haji chuckled to himself. “hmm?”
“Saya it’s time to leave now, we both can’t be late to class.”
“No because Nathan would call the headmaster on you, Haji and then you would have to give dear Saya a demerit. And we can’t have you starting off on a bad note now can we?”
“Saya go now make lots of friends.”
Ch5:
Haji and Saya made it in to the classroom before most students arrived. Saya proceeded to follow Haji in to his office as he motioned for her to do so.
“Saya for my class you must play at least one instrument ever day. Would you like to take on Jonetsu again or should we find another?”
she thought for a moment taken aback a bit by the though of a choice. “I allow students to buy their own but only of great quality, or use the school’s instruments since many can not travel with them as we have.”
“Haji it doesn’t make any sense to use another. I am so use to Jonetsu, we can see how it goes after a while but I really don’t think we should get another. We can switch back and forth since you can play piano anyway.”
He nodded taking the heavily armored case out in to the classroom. “Haji-sensei? Who’s she? Is she new here or in one of your other classes? I’ve never seen her before.”
The class fell silent finding the air of wisdom surrounding this mysterious man. “This is Saya she will be joining the class starting today, be kind she is very dear to me and several other deans here.”
“And you’re letting her play your personal violoncello?.. hmm what a waste..” a sudden awe fell over the room whispers erupted from every corner, the acoustic panels not making it any better.
“Sachiko I will have none of your nonsense!” “ya ikee go back to polishing your flute and leave Okaasan alone right Otoosan!?”
“Misaki I will talk to you later. *Arigatou, both of you take care of Saya today alright.*” Misaki threw up her hand in salute.
“Okaasan come over here I have a seat just for you.” Hana called. “Okaasan are you really their Okaasan? But they call Haji-sensei Otoosan, but he’s not really their Otoosan..”
a young girl muttered from the side. “Misaki is Saya san really you’re Okaasan?”
“Well of course she is why would we call her Okaasan if she wasn’t Gina?”
“Don’t listen to her Gina,” Hana called, “Saya is our Obasan, and Haji is.. like our Otoosan cause he took care of us since we were babies but he’s really more like our ojisan.. kinda.. don’t think about it too much, it’s not creepy or anything. But we call Saya, Okaasan because she’s getting married to Otoosan.”
“See.” Misaki grabbed Saya’s hand practically shoving it in poor Gina’s face. Again whispers and this time curses filled the room.
Haji merely pressed a hand over his eyes before quieting the class down again.
“enough we have to at least practice before we perform at the opera house next Friday. “Hana have you seen Katana today?”
“Nathan said she would be at lunch.” Saya uttered with her chiropteran undertone. “First measure,”
Haji called to the violin section. After hearing it to his taste he followed each section through the pieces until a few minuets before the bell rang, handing out a few individual papers for late library books and such.
Saya carried their cello back in to his office before calling. “Haji do you want me to stow Jonetsu in her case or would you prefer the stand?”
once again tension flowed. Every student knew how protective Haji was of his precious cello, a few were even offended that she would even think to leave his instrument out in the open but Haji chuckled knowing that the class would go haywire at his casual statement. “Do as you wish my love.” “are you going to play for your next class?” “Most likely.”
“I will adjust her tail spike for you.” “As always then, Saya.”
Ch6:
The halls were a mess bustling with gossip mere seconds after Saya left Haji’s class. “Haji I’m going to be so lonely with out you today.”
“I will see you at lunch, and after history we will return home unless you have previous plans.” “I know Haji but I’ll miss you!” she jumped up wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his firm abdomen.
“Saya my love, I will call you from time to time if that will make you feel better.” His strong arms hoisted rear her so that she had to bend her head to look down upon his smiling face.
“Oh Haji this is much better, my neck was getting a little sore. And yes I would enjoy checking in with you every once in a while. Just don’t get me in trouble.” She pressed her lips firmly against his.
“Now aren’t you two setting a fine example for our students? Honestly Haji the school just spent a boat load of money trying to teach students not to get involved with their professors, your home life is one thing, and I dare say milk it for all that it is worth, oh I’m horrible. But I can not allow you to show such a display right in front of my classroom!”
“Does it bother you more to know that I have pleasured your precious daughter on every surface in my apartment or that I have pleasured my precious Queen on every surface in her apartment?” Haji smirked at the elder chevalier.
“oh no my dear son to be not at all because one day very soon you will call me Daddy and give me many grandchildren. With the help of Julia of course.”
he smiled at Haji’s look of disgust claiming victory. “but how?” Saya stared at the blonde mans amused grin as Haji set her down carefully.
“oh I have a very close connection with the shield. Now akachan you mustn’t be late for class. Sorry Haji you may not have my daughter just yet, now give your Queen a kiss and go teach your class you helpless little koinu!”
Haji bent down to place a tender kiss over Saya’s lips before whispering “Anata-o Aishite imasu, and walking away.”
Nathan called after him, “I meant your other Queen!” Saya giggled as a flash of light sprung from Haji’s hand, Nathan barely catching it in front of his lips.”
“Oh how rude, I was just trying to be friendly seeing that he is family and all. oh well he’s a work in progress. Two weeks ago he would have thrown a piano at me.”
“I highly doubt that. Haji is very protective of the things he cares for.”
“But my dear he swings around that cello case of his like it’s a pillow at a girls slumber party.”
“You underestimate him, he insisted that we put another five layers of armor after it already had ten, have you ever tried to lift his case? It must weigh about a ton and a half. You should have seen Kai try to carry it home. I had almost forgotten how strong he was until I saw that.”
“Such a beautiful man.” Nathan sighed resting against the wall. “You know it’s hard to find a man with a perfect hourglass structure yet such a handsome appearance. The perfect Romani, how he glides, so gracefully, I bet he’s a terrific lover. Hmm?”
Saya’s blush told him as that he needed to know before her shaky retort. “I don’t think, ‘that’ is any of your business, or a proper topic for conversation.”
“Oh deary you will find very soon how nosey and improper I am. He’s what 187 cm?”
“Nathan!”
“Oh but it’s Daddy now, unless my nickname already belongs to another?”
“You’re terrible.” “Oh most certainly, now the twins are calling you.” she stepped in to the classroom walking over to sit by Misaki, Hana, and their friend Gina.
“Ojiisan, did Otoosan break your desk again?” Hana giggled at her sister’s comment.
“He most certainly did, that horrid man. I did nothing but make an attempt to welcome him in to our family. He needs to have a personality transplant. Oh well he is becoming more sociable.”
“Give him time Ojiisan” “you two have it easy, he loved your father and you are so gosh darn cute!”
“And I look like Okaasan! That helps too.”
“Are we going to do anything today? Honestly I have wasted more than an hour talking about Haji- sensei’s stupid crush!”
Damatte-yo Kitanai” “Kodomo janain-dakara!”
“Sachiko! I do believe that my dear son has already mentioned to you that Saya is very close to many of the Deans here. And I will have none of your slander against my only living daughter, and no I don’t care if you are a wealthy little bitch. And girls in my class use French remember!”
Nathan turned around to the smart board picking up one of the electronic markers writing on the screen, ‘7 ways to make your ex.. or Sachiko feel like crap’ and then a bunch of fraises that I will be using later to make people feel like crap that I’m to lazy to write right now.
“Saya sempai, are you really engaged to Haji sama?”
Saya nodded to girl with blue highlights in the back of the room whispering only, “Yes.”
“how long have you known him?” ah the question that always challenged their love so trivial. She wished that she could really say she even giggled from time to time when the ‘abstinence’ talk was mentioned.
They could give the seminar though it would be more like ‘shut up you whiny baby’s you have no idea what waiting means.’
“my entire life.” She would answer hoping they wouldn’t press further then it would get messy.
“do you live with him?” another nod knowing what was to come but she stopped it before the conversation got too personal and to vicariously lived.
“we have lived together since we were children.” A partial truth though she was around thirty seven when they first met, she was still very much like a child.
“come on Saya give us details!” and surly enough it was Nathan who said it, allowing this interruption to occur for his own knowledge and curiosity.
“Nathan I am in this class to learn, relearn, French .. I think.. so teach.” “oh Saya teach you French? Haji would ring my neck.. although.”
And there it was Haji’s echoing call almost completely disintegrating Nathan’s desk.
“Nathan don’t make Haji mad he will be in a right state tonight I can barely keep him settled with Kai around.”
“oh really?” “Shut up Nathan.” “it’s Daddy.” “biologically maybe, but Joel, and George, they were my true father’s.”
“too bad, I guess you are a work in progress as well I see. Some day soon
Saya soon learned that not every girl was her enemy but that there were only a few categories that both genders fell in.
the first was taken. The girls in this category swooned over either Haji, Karl, or both while either flat out denied it or said if only I wasn’t already spoken for.
Their gentleman callers on the other hand grumbled in the back ground or talked up their reputation all the while knowing that they would be slaughtered in under a minute if ever brought in to battle between the two.
These girls seemed to be the best to make friends with.
Then there were the Karl fans. Danger danger written all over them. She learned quickly not to even mention the word Haji or anything that they associated him with around them for once said they would scream your head off on how wonderful Karl is and how her beloved Haji would be killed immediately in a battle with him.
After that came the more sociable yet devastatingly rivaled Haji fans. They were like the Karl fans, borderline stalker material. Some were kind to Saya but others wished to have Haji all to them selves and only wanted to treat Saya like dirt in hopes that Haji would one day fall in love with them.
But their were also the neutral party girls. They thought both of them were devastatingly attractive yet they had god and bad things to say about each. Honestly Saya did not agree with any of the bad things about Haji because most of them had to do with silly fantasies of putting Haji in board shorts, t shirts, something’s that she thought were rather disturbing, and some that she would be embarrassing to even mention to him to try.
She blushed slightly when she found herself actually taking notes from time to time but when members of each party came up with something really bizarre she had to write it down to insure her own and her chevalier’s wellbeing.
She didn’t even want to delve in to the thoughts behind the students claiming to be queer, however she did feel even more uncomfortable with the men staring at her.
Sure she was flattered by their attraction to her but she had only ever been with Haji and he was near perfect. She couldn’t even begin to think of what carnal thoughts filled their young minds.
It even scared her to some extent. She could slash away at chiropterans all that she wanted but humans were another matter all together. She resolved to speak with Haji on this matter once she met him for lunch.
She rounded the corner to his office cursing under her breath for Nathan keeping her for so long after class when she saw him.
“Haji! she yelled jumping in to his arms pressing her lips firmly on his. “Saya, you look weary.” He chuckled walking in to the courtyard still carrying her.
“Nathan got to you too?” “Yes Haji, he is funny but awful.” She snuggled against his chest. “I made lunch.”
He whispered in to her silky locks. “Yay!” she threw her arms up as he set her down on a shady bench unpacking a cooler. “this is for you,”
He handed her a large home-made bento box then took out two medium sized water bottles giving her one as well. “and this is for me.”
“Blood or wine?” she asked shoving rice and steak in to her mouth all the time. “Both.” He answered simply. “Arigatou.”
They sat in silence for some time as Saya finished her lunch before they were interrupted by a playful chortle. “Well, well what is this? Playing naughty school girl with your chevalier dear cousin?” Saya stared at her in shock.
A girl the spitting image of Saya but with one blue eye instead of none with red highlights stood before them. “Saya this is Katana.”
“Don’t waste your blood on me it won’t work.” “What?” “Oh I just thought that should take the question out it of it. I don’t want to fight if that is what you were thinking.”
“I don’t understand.. you, who are you?” Saya grasped for Haji’s arm. “Haji your killing us with your silence.” Haji threw a third water bottle to Katana smirking slightly as he offered her seat across from him and Saya.
“Thanks Hajji,” she accepted biting the top off of the bottle tossing it aside before continuing.
“I just want to be friends or well family, I’m your cousin, your mother had a sister, like you and your of course though I am me and I am my sister.”
“Chimera.” Haji stated to no one in particular. “Right.”
“My brother was a twin yet years after he was born they found that he had human teeth imbedded in his shoulder his unborn twin was absorbed inside of his body in the womb.”
“Right you are but in my case my blood is toxic to both of my cousins yet I am immune to theirs.
“but if that was true wouldn’t you have crystallized when your sister was absorbed in side of you?”
“no.. well.. yes but hat’s besides the point the bases of this fan fiction is that I am unstoppable and I am a good person even though my character is supposed to scream bad girl.”
“We could just decapitated you or drain you completely of blood.”
“Sure but not in this fic..” “So you’re a Mary sue?”
“Unh ya I guess I am.”
“Ok well I guess I will allow us to be friends cause were family and diva doesn’t count. But you can’t have Haji.”
“oh I wouldn’t dream of it. I love Karl”
“Well of course why else would he be alive I such a strict perfectionist author’s fic?”
“no reason at all!”
“you are absolutely right! Are you in my next class?”
“but of course, that’s the whole reason why Karl is a teacher! He hates kids!.. kinda.. Haji this is fantastic!”
“Always a pleasure to serve Kat.”
“you even splurged and got the AB- just for me. it is so hard to come by.”
“you really don’t care much for humans do you Katana?” Saya’s scowled in disgust at such an uncaring act.
“Saya you have to understand that Katana has altered her lifestyle dramatically and to take away every part of her enjoyment would not only be cruel but would make our relationship much more like ours with Diva.”
“Saya I wasn’t raised like you, I grew up being kind to people because I knew that I needed them but I don’t think twice feeding from them. I don’t go on bloody murder sprees for fun but if I take too much from someone it just doesn’t bother me.”
“Katana,” “it’s Kat.” “Alright Kat, how old are you?” Haji chuckled at such an innocent remark. “Ah you could be my great great grandmother! No, I’m only about a month younger that you.”
“My love there you are I have been looking all over for you!” you could see him from what seemed like a mile away in some what of a slow motion glomp.
“Katana my sweet have you made friends with our dear Saya?” Karl sat beside his new queen draping his coat over her snuggling in to her shoulder.
“Karl you are even more clingy than Haji here finish this and stop asking me questions in class I’m only in this school because of David and I barely tolerate him.”
shoving the remainder of her bottle to him, Karl’s face lit up once more clapping his hands together as he nuzzled against it.
“the gift of sustenance from my beloved one could not ask for a better day!” “oh my God, Karl your acting like a hobo again, no offence Hajjkins.” “Katana must your nicknames always sound like cancer?” “Yes they must!” “I think it’s cute Haji.” Saya gave him a soft peck drawing him closer.
“Hey Saya, you want a job?” “What?” “Oh poor Hajikins less time with your queen too bad..” “Karl, you forget I have an excuse to stay close.” “that and the rewards of Chiasa!”
“Wait Chisa? The same Chisa on Hiromi Avenue?” “yup! I started it about three years ago.” “how can you own ‘that’ kind of store. How can you work there and not feel totally embarrassed?”
“Ahh you get use to it, I need another person help me around the shop.” “well I guess it couldn’t hurt..”
“There is a local café across from Chisa the owner pays me to play during weekends but she is always begging me to play during the week.”
Giving her handsome chevalier a questioning look she couldn’t help but laugh as he continued to explain.
“it started to check in on Katana but after a while she persuaded the owner to offer me a job so that it would draw in more customers to both businesses.”
“whatever you say Haji.. whatever you say..” “Saya..” Saya traced her hands along his hands as she felt Haji’s suddle growl.
“you know Karl’s right I do like your hands better like this, at least part of the time..”
