Devils Palace

Just a phase

The class started soon after I helped Akane. She seemed to have understood everything, but just needed someone to confirm it. She was awfully smart for a girl that was seemingly only eight years old. By the time we finished the homework the other students had arrived and sat down.
-PoV shift:Akane(1st)
  I was in the middle of class as I handled the small worksheet the old man gave us. It was simple and kinda childish...Well at least by my standards. By this point as the old man rambled on I was doodling, Though most of the drawing genes went to my sister. So I did my best.
"pssst. Hey, You there." I look around a bit to find where the voice was and was it talking to me. I lock eyes with a boy around my size with blue eyes. He had a thin nose and semi-rounded cheeks.
"Y-you talking to me" I asked pointing to myself. The boy nods as I lean a bit closer to him.
"What's Someone as beautiful as you doing in this school?" He asked. His question sent a bit of a chill down my body as my face heated slightly.
"W-Well I go here."
"I guess so, Anyway, I'm Leo, The son of the Principle Mister Lance. It's an honor to meet such a darling like yourself"
"I-I uh er-" I was clearly flustered and looked away trying to hide it.
"Hmhmhm, I'll talk more at our free time. Then we won't get interrupted. Till then" He sat upright in his seat once more as I remained with my face close to my desk. I was completely flustered as I nailed my face to the next in a attempt to hide the blush plastered all over my face.
"Akane, You okay? does your head hurt?"
I quickly threw my head up, Almost being blinded by the light from the sun that bled through the window.
"I-I'm fine s-sensei"
"Akane...Can you see me outside?"
The class all ooh'd at me as I slowly stood up and straighten out my Kimono. I slowly walked out as I mentally submitted to the "walk of shame" That comes with meeting the teacher outside.

Pov change: Tsuyoi(1st)

I silenced the class as Akane walked out and then glared at them all, Being a sign that I want quite.
"I'm gonna step out for a bit, I'm sure you all are at least old enough to remain silent as I walk out for just a moment"
I slowly walk out of the room and kneel down. I put my hand on Akane's forehead. She let out a suprised gasp as she looked up at me. The light shining in her small dark blue/grey eyes.
"W-What are you doing o-old man?!"

"I'm just checking something, And You've got the eyes that says your in love"

"I-In Lov-" She quickly hushed herself as if she rejected the idea of loving someone after everything that's happened to her. And I'm not suprised.

"Yeah, You heard me right Akane. Your my dear little girl, Are in love" I hold up her chin and make her look me in the eye as I hold a soft smile.

"W-What ever! So what!" Akane looked away, puffing her cheeks and pouting. I gently put my hand around her cheeks and press the air out of them. She hisses slightly and then finally looked me in the eye.

"Akane...it's okay to be in love, and it's okay to be scared. I would like for you to talk to that boy when lunch comes around. I can't protect you forever. And if your still scared, Then while your talking to him, I'll be near by okay?" Akane slowly nodded in reply as I held my smile. I'd finally got to her, Or maybe she wasn't calling me old man and such cause we were in school and there were class rooms all around us. Reguardless it was too cute to see her like this. I guess this would be how parents feel. Maybe if she was here...she'd feel like this too.
