A normal college life for the supernatural (discontinued)

Part 8

Ryōsuke Pov (if you didn't already pick up on the fact the last one was in his point of view)

I'm so glad I didn't accept to be part of this course... like this is so covert. Are they being trained to be spies or something!? I'm being forced to take my course due to the pressure of my family. Haruichi is lucky he can do what he wants and is part of this course... I'm sick of politics! I'm sitting in my seat still taking notes as I snap the pencil by accident, "are you okay Harucchi? You seem angry about something," I pick up the pencil calmly before smiling at Eijun. He could kill me in a single second if he wanted to, Phoenixes are a major topic in politics surprisingly... and probably the most interesting part of it. "D... do you know much about Phoenixes?" Damn stutter! Why do I need to be here again? Oh yeah... because my little brother still has no control over his powers!! I hold the pencil in my hand as I fix it and slowly start writing while looking at Eijun every so often. "I know very little... my mum was killed by another Phoenix hours after I was born," I continue writing while I look at him slightly with empathy, "would you like to know a little more? I'm pretty sure class is about to finish so I will tell you after if you want..." he nods his head as he takes some notes but Miyuki seems to be teasing him slightly so he doesn't note everything down but Miyuki definitely is.

The three of us are walking back to their room since classes are over, lunch went by pretty normal and afternoon training. Personal training schedules and class schedules were assigned and everyone has a colour apparently, Haruichi is a dark blue, which means he's a warlock and a high level one. Eijun and Miyuki were told privately and said they would tell me and Kuramochi later... since he is apparently going to their dorm as well! Fun! "What did you think about Kataoka?" Eijun asks poking my shoulder slightly, I flinch slightly at the light touch before rubbing my arm. That hurt... like it really hurt, I couldn't handle when I was fighting either. It felt like someone was stabbing needles into my arm and it burnt... "sorry... um... he was okay?" Eijun seems hurt that I flinched away from him but Miyuki seems to be observing me closely.

We walk in the room and I see someone curled up on the small couch with their tail around them protectively. I walk over to them recognising the distinct scent of Kuramochi, I walk in front of the couch tilting my head looking at him. He looks at me before jumping off the couch and hugging me. Miyuki smirks slightly as he speaks, "You're not Haruichi are you?" I stiffen slightly as Eijun hits Miyuki, "of course it's Haruichi! It looks like him and has the same powers!" I hug kuramochi back as his tail wraps around my waist possessively, "he's not Haruichi. Look at them," Eijun looks at us as he figures it out, "oh! You're his older brother," I nod slightly as Kuramochi practically squeezes me to death. "Yeah... Haruichi couldn't go to class so he asked me to for him. It's not like I don't already know everything in my course..." I feel a tingling sensation over my whole body as Kuramochi let's go of me. Thank the gods! Haruichi has changed me back to normal... so he should be okay for dinner. "Wow... how did you do that?!" Eijun asks as I show a small locket opening it up to show some pink hair wrapped in a small band. "Haruichi changed my appearance with a spell that is simple and with a bit of his hair. He must be well enough if I'm back to normal," Kuramochi hugs me even tighter then before, 'trying to suffocate me?' He rubs his nose with mine as I see his eyes. "You know... you can let go of me. I'm not going to look like Haruichi again... ever," he stops hugging me but keeps his tail around my waist slightly. "Good..." he says as Ei... I mean Sawamura and Miyuki sit on their table with their ears and tails out as well, Miyuki holding Sawamura's tail with his own as they both sit close, "hm... were you partially to blame?" Kuramochi as everyone looks at me as I look away from all of them and Kuramochi laughs, "you pointed it out to them and used their auras so they would figure it out quicker than most... sneaky," I look him in the eyes with a slight glare, 'they needed to know... Sawamura would have ended up confused if he started getting jealous of the fangirls and I didn't exactly want that since he's my brothers' friend' Kuramochi tightens his grip on my waist slightly as he spoke, "so... how were classes?" Sawamura bounces slightly before he and Miyuki look at each other smirking, "our colour is black... so we are considered the strongest in the course since that is actually a higher level then Mr Hirata is allowed to teach so he might become a support teacher for the course," I laugh a little as I turn to Kuramochi, "Mr Hirata practically tried to challenge Miyuki when Sawamura hugged him for comfort... instinctively," Sawamura laughs nervously as he pulls a piece of paper out reading his schedule. "So... my schedule will change depending on if you can go outside during the day?" Miyuki nods as he takes his small case out and puts a blue pill in his hand. "These help a bit but only with hunger. I still can't see properly in the day if I'm practically starving," Sawamura growls lowly at him before hitting Miyuki's arm, "no starving yourself or I will easily win against you in training!" Miyuki scoffs before me and Kuramochi laugh at the quietly... you can definitely tell they're mates. Just like how people seemed to know me and Kuramochi were soulmates before we even knew... damn warlock instincts. They make finding your soulmate hard and it's not like Kuramochi truly uses his instincts as he used to...

"Oh... I forgot I was supposed to tell you a bit of Phoenixes and their history," I wave my hand slightly making the room disappear showing a scene in front of us, a girl and a boy standing on either side: one with the moon the and the other the sun. "Phoenixes have two types, one of fire and a creature of the sun and the other of the cold, ice, fear and a creature of the moon. Dark Phoenixes used to scare humans just for fun, we all know how humans see us because of them. Humans and the supernatural, they might live side by side with us now but we can't forget hunters... they still hunt us down and will grab us from allays with their special equipment. So that's why dark Phoenixes are practically ghost stories, they were practically all killed off by other Phoenixes, light and dark, along with hunters..." I look to Sawamura, who is staring at both Phoenixes with utmost interest and curiosity.

I change the scene showing a light Phoenix helping others and speaking in public. "Light Phoenixes... they were already really rare before the dark Phoenixes were hunted and started dying off. A Phoenix normally lives forever but another Phoenix knows how to stop that and so do hunters. It's strange how people can mistake light Phoenixes for humans just because they don't show they're true form among others unless they're family or part of their flock... flocks are rare now as well since only a few even live today. Everyone knows of how Sawamura's mum died since his father was distraught and became overprotective of his son. Though we were never informed your mother was more than a human. She never showed any signs of being a Phoenix to the public," Sawamura watches the scene as he waves his hand over it showing a dark sky with a still wind that any shivers down everyone's spines.

"Another thing never told to the public was how I was born..." he watches the scene as a solar eclipse was present in the sky through the thick clouds in the dark sky. "I was born to both the moon and sun, a Phoenix is determined on what type they are by what time of day they're born and what they're parents are. That's all I have been taught on Phoenixes and what a true form looks like normally," another shiver runs down my spine as Sawamura changes the scene showing the true forms...

"Dark Phoenixes have dark red feathers that seem black with eyes the same colour. Light Phoenixes are orange and red with fire like eyes..." he flicks his hand showing a scroll with writing in a language I was taught as part of politics. "A sun will rise but shadowed by the moon... a Phoenix born this way is unheard of. A child born this way could be dangerous!" Sawamura laughs a bit as he shows us a few feathers on his right wrist; one orange and red, the other a dark red. "Dangerous? The Phoenix council called me... they clipped my feathers! Only allowed my markers since it's illegal to take them..." Miyuki hugs him as his eyes burn bright, Miyuki lightly touches the two feathers, "they're just scared. They can't clip them again, at this school you will learn to control it and they won't call you dangerous again because you will be controlled but not forced to stay on the ground. That's like taking the canines of a vampire, taking a warlock or witches charm, taking the wings off of fairies and water sprites... it's plain cruel" he hugs Sawamura close as Sawamura waves his hand showing an image of a huge bird with its wings burning... "that was my mother. That's another reason why they're scared, she was the descendant of the first light Phoenix," I see him close his eyes before burying his head in Miyuki's chest, I wave away the images showing the Phoenix councils contract, "can they not take those two feathers since it's how they identify you're a Phoenix and what type?" He nods slowly while still having his head in Miyuki's chest crying.

I ease his aura a bit to calm him down and he looks to me with a soft smile as he stops crying and is calm now, 'well... maybe we should leave them alone and head to your dorm until dinner' he nods as we both walk out the room and he moves his ears a little holding my waist tighter with his tail and grabbing my hand, interlocking our fingers as I smile slightly.

Hope you enjoyed... this part will be really important so remember everything you learnt here. Hope you have a good day/night
