If I have learned anything today, it's that Crowley is incredibly reliant on others despite his protests. Instead of spending my day learning the ropes of this school, I was dragged around helping Crowley out. It wasn't even anything fun, I was just carrying boxes and delivering papers. He said it was to help me learn my way around the halls, but I'm positive he just didn't want to do it himself.Which brings me to where I am now, hunting that bird down. He told me to meet up with him at the end of the day but I can't find his ass anywhere. Classes have let out already, so I assumed he would be in his office, I was wrong. I turn the corner only to dodge someone running past.
"The hell?," I say, watching the student run away. I turn around to continue my hunt only to see two familiar faces running at me.
"Did you happen to see someone run by?" Yuu asks out of breath. Grim in on Yuu's shoulder, giving me a look somewhere between intimidated and admiration.
"Yeah, he took off that way," I answered, pointing in the direction the student went. "Why are you chasing him anyway?"
"He's trying to force us to do his work!" Grim shouts in anger. I raise an eyebrow at Yuu for him to explain.
"Grim and Ace burned one of those statues of the Great Seven this morning. Crowley caught us all and told us we had to clean 100 windows after school as punishment." I nod my head at Yuu's explanation. That makes sense while I don't wanna wash windows, I'll still take that over some of Marco's punishments. I feel a shiver go down my spine at the thought of some punishments I had.
"Well, I've got some time to kill, I'll help you catch him. Come on," I motion my hand for them to follow. We pick up our pace and find Ace shoving past another student.
"Outta my way!" He rudely says to the blue haired student.
"Hey! What gives!?" The student shouts. He straightened out his jacket, and my matching jacket was tied around my waist. I contemplated throwing a fire ball at Ace's feet to stumble him.
"Please stop him!," Yuu yells out. That's all the insensitive I needed.
"You want me to cast a spell to stop him?" Blue hair asks.
"I got an idea," I say, standing next to blue hair. His face flushes for a moment before I start. Yuu and Grim look at me in with hope in their eyes. "Watch and learn," I say with a smirk.
I crouched down before lifting my finger. I light a small flame and throw it, aiming at Ace's feet.
"Woah!" Ace says, falling on his face trying to avoid the flames. Before he can stand back up, I dissolve myself into flames and rush at his fallen self before fading back into my normal body. I take a seat on Ace's back with a smirk. "Hey! What gives!?," he shouts red in the face.
"Ha! Did you see that, Yuu? That Ace guy is being used as a chair by the flame girl! That's what you get!" Grim smuggly laughs at Ace's predicament.
"Flames? I've never seen Flames used like that.. I guess that's Night Raven College for you.." Blue hair mumbles to himself.
"Get off! What are you even bothering me for? You guys coulda banged out the work by yourselves!" Ace yells as I cross my legs.
"There's no "banging out" a hundred windows!," Yuu yells, annoyed.
"You have to wash a hundred windows as punishment? What the heck did you do?!" Blue hair asks, shocked.
"I was just screwing with that furball a little. ...Okay, and the statue of the Queen of Hearts got a teeny bit charred. Sue me," Ace explains non-apologeticly. I flick his ear in response. "Hey!"
"You damaged a statue of the Great Seven?! No wonder he flew off the handle at you! After you managed to get into THIS school, how could you get in trouble on the very first day?!" Blue hair shouts at Ace. Wow, I wish I had some popcorn right about now.
"Oh, shut up. Who are you, anyway?" Ace asks, I turn to Blue hair as well.
"My name is Deuce. Deuce Spade. Don't you remember your own classmate?
Uh..." Deuce trails off confused. I chuckle quietly to myself. Man, I miss my Deuce.."You don't remember my name either, do you?" Ace asks blank faced.
"That's not the point! You shouldn't try to shirk an order from the headmage!" Deuce rebuddles embarrassed.
"Yeah, yeah, message received... Fine, let's bang out the windows already. Huh...?" I raise an eyebrow at that.
"Grim sure has been quiet.." Yuu chimes in, causing me to look at him. I notice Grim is gone from his shoulder.
"The furball! He's gone!" I stand up from Ace's back and pull him to his feet back the back of his shirt collar. "Seven's, she's strong..." Ace whispers to himself.
"Ah ha ha ha! I'll let you two handle the rest! See ya, suckers!" Grim yells, taking off down the halls.
"You caught me so YOU could run away yourself?! Hey! You there! Uh... Juice?" Ace says, causing me to laugh a bit at the mistake of Deuce's name.
"My name isn't "Juice". It's Deuce! With a D!" Deuce says following Ace anyway. Yuu and I make eye contact before following the duo at a significantly slower pace.
"This is partially your responsibility, you know! So help me catch that little furball!" Ace yells at Deuce.
"How is this my responsibility?!" Deuce yells back at Ace. Well, this is certainly giving me flashbacks. Sanji and Zoro could never get along either, at least not that I saw in Alabasta.
"Grim's useless janitor friend can't use magic. That means this is up to you, the girl, and me!" Ace shouts back at Deuce.
"Don't include me in your little lovers quarrel." I tell them with a teasing tone making my smirking face.
"We are not having a lover quarrel!" They both scream at me. Yuu and I laugh at the duo's shenanigans. Grim and the boys trades spells at each other. This ultimately leads to Grim getting away into the cafeteria. Deuce and Ace follow him, not giving up.
