The first period was over and now Gabriel and Mak were on a break for a couple of minutes, of course, they drew the attention of everyone in the class due to them being new guys, when the teacher, Mrs.Misa left the classroom everyone gathered

around them, at first a girl with dark hair and a bow on her head and a cheerful smile approached them and begun asking questions...

Miko-Hi, Gabriel, Mak, my name is Fukazuki Miko, nice to meet you, where are you two from?

Gabriel was startled from her talking so much and stayed silent, Mak, having way better social skills answered casually...

Mak-Hi, Miko-chan, nice to meet you too, we are from a small European village, you probably won't know its name.

Miko-I see, why did you decide to come to our school?

Gabriel looked at Miko, then he looked at Mak and back to Miko...

Mak-In our previous school there was someone who bullied Gabriel and he decided he had enough, so we left and we saw this school on the internet, he said he loved the way it looked in pictures.

Miko-I am sorry to hear that in our time there are people who bully others, Gabriel seems quite shy, maybe that's why this happened. Gabriel couldn't speak a word, all kinds of thoughts popped in his head, like how are things still coming out of her mouth, why hasn't she stopped talking? Also, he was amazed at how easily Mak used his story in order to make an extremely possible scenario that fast and without any effort he replied to everything that Miko asked...

Mak-Yes, he is very shy, I mostly do all the talking when people approach us.

At this point both Gabriel and Mak noticed the same girl that was staring at Gabriel, she kept her distance and continued to observe them interested but also wary of them.

Miko-Or maybe this guy bullied poor Gabriel because he was jealous.

Mak-Jealous?

Miko-Yes because Gabriel is cute.

Gabriel's eyes opened up slightly after he heard that, he looked at Miko and then to the ground as he was too embarrassed to keep eye contact, Miko noticed that...

Miko-How cute!

Mak-Well if you find Gabriel cute, then...

Miko-What?

Mak-Forget it, I see that there is a line waiting behind you.

Miko-They are all waiting to ask you guys lots of questions, later.

Mak-See you, Miko-chan!

When Miko left, another student came close, this time it was one of the people that was staring at them earlier, the tall muscular guy with the brown hair, as he came close to them he had a huge smile with all of his perfect white teeth showing, a

sincere smile with just a hint of curiosity...

Kato-Nice to meet you, my name is Atasuke Kato, I am the class representative.

Mak-Hi, Atasuke-san, as you know, I am Mak and this guy is Gabriel, nice to meet you.

At this point the boy that was sitting next to Kato cut the line and stood next to him, up close both Gabriel and mak noticed how all the girls of the class looked at him, his curly blonde hair and his facial and body features all screamed handsome, Gabriel looked at him and noticed that he must be one of those ladies men, he immediately made an annoyed face as this types of people always made Gabriel angry, without any effort they looked good and had all the girls falling for them...

Asano-Heyo, I am Shunichi Asano, better remember this name cause you will be hearing it a lot.

Mak-Nice to meet you, Shunichi-san.

Asano-Hey, Kato, would you like to ask them first?

Kato-Now, now Asano, don't be rude to the new guys, I am sure we will have plenty of time to ask them, first let's tell them about ourselves.

Asano-Sure, I am awesome, I play at the basketball team, so does Kato, he is the captain of the team as well as the class representative.

At this point a beautiful girl passing by stepped in...

Girl-Hey, Shunichi-senpai, would you like to come with us to the cafeteria?

Asano replied with a hearty smile...

Asano-Not now, I am in the middle of something, catch you later...

Gabriel-(Fuck off, pretty boy.)

Another girl, even more beautiful girl asked something similar...

Girl-Shunichi-san, how about joining me and my friends at our room tonight?

Asano-I don't know about today, I have to study and practice with the team.

Girl-Too bad, kisses.

Mak-You are quite popular Shunichi-san.(And irritating.)

Kato-You guys will get used to this, Asano-san has lots of fans.

Gabriel-I am sure about that. (I bet he hasn't beat the shit out of vampires and demons though).

Kato-Now, I have to ask a favor of you two, could you meet me at a shrine close by after school? I want to ask you guys something and this isn't the right place. Especially you, Gabriel-san.

Asano--Yes, we can ask them at the shrine, how did I not think of that?

Gabriel-(Cause you are a fucking idiot with a pretty face.)

Kato's honesty and cheerful character made it almost impossible to deny him, Mak also said that they should also visit the shrine after school so this wouldn't be such a bad idea...

Mak-Sure, Atasuke-san, we will see you there, I presume Shunichi-san will also be there since he was so eager to ask the same question?

Asano-You are a clever one, Mak-san.

Gabriel-(Unlike you, clown.)

Kato-We shall see each other later, I guess.

Mak-What? Aren't you two going to stay for next class?

Kato-I am sorry, the basketball team has practice today and both me and Asano-san will have to leave as soon as the bell rings.

Mak-Being in the team lets you skip class? Cool.

Asano-It's one of the privileges of being awesome.

Gabriel-(I swear before I leave I will punch your stupid little perfect face to the ground.) Later then.

Kato, Asano-Later.

Lots of other students came by and all of them asked questions like where they were from and why did they enroll to this school, one of them even asked if they wanted to buy smokes from him. Before even half of them got their turn the bell rung for

the next class, everyone returned to their seats apart from Kato and Asano who left for basketball practice, Gabriel finally could relax and had some time to think straight, all of these questions were just too much for him, he never had to do much

talking and socialize with this many people at once, when he found his chance he turned to whisper to Mak...

Gabriel-Don't tell me that we are going to see this guy again?

Mak-Why, I like Kato, he seems like a cool guy.

Gabriel-I know, come one though...

Mak-I get you, this guy makes me mad too. How much arrogance can fit in a small head like his?

Gabriel-Fucking idiot, I was this close to crushing his head on the desk.

Mak-Keep you calm, you can't let someone like him blow our cover, the entire police department will be on our asses if you do something stupid.

Gabriel-I just...Why him? Why are there all those idiots with their well-built bodies and the pretty faces get all the girls?

Mak-Are you jealous? You have a good looking body as well, now for the face that's another story.

Gabriel-I am not jealous, I have killed vampires and demons, what has he done? Has he even held a gun? I have an Uzi.

Mak-Relax, relax, let me do all the talking, we will have to go to the shrine anyway, don't forget why we are here. There is a Shinigami trapped back home.

Gabriel-I know, it's that...I don't understand why he is so...

Mak-I am glad that we didn't bring Carmen with us, I don't think she could resist this guy.

Gabriel-Carmen would never fall for someone this shallow and arrogant and stupid and...

Mak-Yeah...

Gabriel-I mean...

Mak-Hey, by the way, this crazy chick in front is staring again, don't look but this time she looks even scarier.

Gabriel-What's up with her.

Mak-Maybe Asano dumped her and now she digs you.

Gabriel-Don't even joke about that, I have Helen.

Mak-Whatever.

For the rest of the class Mak fell asleep on his desk and Gabriel kept looking at the ceiling, they obviously had no intention to pay attention to the teacher and both of them were bored from the moment that they entered the classroom, the rest of

the day passed and now they had some time before it was launch time, after they had finished eating they were going to visit the shrine and meet with Kato and Asano even though Gabriel didn't want to talk to him again, when they went outside to

the cafeteria area they saw him again, this time he was surrounded with girls and all of them were holding packed food that had made to give it to him...

Girls-Asano-senpai! Please take the launch!

Asano-I am sorry girls, I had launch with the team earlier, maybe next time.

Girls-Oof.

Gabriel cringed and looked at Mak, he then whispered...

Gabriel-Can I just rip of his head?

Mak-I want to say yes...but no.

Gabriel-I mean besides his body and his face and his smile what else does he have?

Mak-Nothing, he is a shallow dude.(If that's going to keep you calm?)

Gabriel-He doesn't have an Uzi, he doesn't have a dragon scale strapped to his arm...

Mak-(He irritates me as well but damn, Gabriel is furious, what's going to happen if he speaks with him again, I have to find a way to calm him down completely.I knew his mental state wasn't the best but fuck.)

While Gabriel was muttering about Asano, a girl entered the cafeteria area, every head in the room turned to see her, she was gorgeous, straight black hair coming down to her slim waist, her uniform covered a perfect bust and the skirt was like a barrier holding anyone away from witnessing heaven, the look on her face made it clear that she and everyone else knew she was pretty, all of the boys in the area where stunned by her just walking by, she passed by the table that all the girls were around Asano without even turning her head to face him, Gabriel and Mak obviously were also so captivated that they didn't notice she was coming right to their table, they were sitting just the two of them at a table right across the kitchen, even the cook that was standing behind the counter was left with his jaw dropped, a middle-aged man with signs of baldness and a stained white tank top that covered a big belly, a grown man was left speechless by the girl that was walking in front of him and as soon as everyone thought that time has stopped she talked...

Yume-Hi, my name is Tsukiyama Yume, you must be the students that tranfered to our school, I am a senior here, nice to meet you. Gabriel couldn't even breath at this moment, he didn't even reallize that she was talking to him, it seemed like his mind was in another place, Mak being the guy he is had all the confidence in the world to reply to her, even if he messed up a little...

Mak-Hello, Tsukiyama-senpai, I am Mak and this guy is Gabriel, we tranfered here from a small village in middle Europe, we are going to study in this school and I am very happy to see that we will meet every day...

Yume-Haha...

Her smile was perfect, just looking at it made your heart melt, Gabriel and Mak felt a slight heat in their chest when she smilled like she warmed their souls...

Yume-You sure talk a lot, Gabriel-san doesn't seem to be the talkative guy.

Mak-Who? Oh yeah, Gabriel is very shy, this is all new to him and he didn't have a very good time at his old school, what's your star sign?

Yume-You are very funny, haha...

Gabriel finally snapped out of it and he became his old self, no woman could ever move his heart, when he could think straight that smile he subconsciously had just by looking at her disappeared and turned to a poker face...

Yume-I see, Gabriel-san had some bad experiences, that explains why he hasn't spoke a single word and he is looking at me like that.

Gabriel-How exactly?

Yume-At least you talked to me, most guys have a cheerful face when I talk to them, with you it's different.

Gabriel-It takes more than a pretty face to move me.

Yume-I didn't...

Mak-What are you talking about? Don't be rude to her! I am sorry about that, he isn't accustomed to talking to other people and he didn't mean anything rude, right Gabriel?

Gabriel-Why are you here? Asano's table is over there, why not go there like all the other girls?

Yume-Wha...I...

Mak-Gabriel, just shut up, why are you so mean to Yume!?

Yume-Maybe I should go...

Mak-Sorry about that, Yume-senpai, I hope we will see you again.

Yume went to a table at the opposite corner of them and sat down to eat launch, Mak looked at Gabriel and he was mad...

Mak-What the fuck was that?

Gabriel-What?

Mak-Why did you talk so rude to her? All she did was to say hi.

Gabriel-I know how these girls work, they come playing all innocent to try and seduce you, to make you their puppet, put you in their grasp, she came here to see if we would turn out as victims to her beauty, this kinds of tricks don't work on me.

Mak-What the hell are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?

Gabriel-It's the same thing over and over again, they try to get inside your head with their pretty faces and their happy personality, women distract your mind and then use you.

Mak-Dude, you seriously need to calm down, I could have had a shot with that.

Gabriel-She would just give you false hope and then destroy your self-esteem.

Mak-I don't think...

Gabriel-Besides what would you tell her?" I am Mak, I look like a human but I am an ugly goblin".

Mak-Fuck you.

Gabriel-Even if you managed to get her, then what? Have you considered that if you have sex with her she would give birth to a goblin?

Mak-I would pull out, you humans do it all the time.

Gabriel-Stop making me imagine goblin sex for fuck's sake!

Mak-You are the one who brought this up.

Gabriel-And I will put it back down, I will put you down if you ever do anything like that to a human girl, I thought goblins could mate with everything.

Mak-All females with high standards despite their race are attractive to goblins, this one was gorgeous!

Gabriel-I said stop.This has turned way to disgusting to continue.

Gabriel and Mak continued arguing and launch time was almost over, leaving behind this horrible discussion about goblin mating they will soon have to go the shrine and first meet with Kato and Asano, then they can begin their search for an Onmyoji and the shrine is the perfect place for that since Onmyojis often go to these places to pray, their power comes from ancestral spirits of the dead, ghosts that still roam the earth and haven't been claimed by the Shinigami, these souls stay behind because they have unfinished business and are often bound to their place of death, gifting their spiritual energy to an Onmyoji is the only way they have to be somewhat free and by praying the Onmyoji are channeling these spirits and their energy.
