The Spirit of Rebellion

Memorable Meeting

<3rd person P.O.V>

Akira having just left the school, was very confused as he recalled the meeting that took place with his new homeroom teacher.

[Flashback]
<Akira's P.O.V>

As I walked into the school a short lady was standing there looking at her wrist before looking up and gasping "ah you must be Akira, right? Your friend said you would be coming by they just never specified when, anyway follow me and I'll get the paperwork sorted out. Oh! Did you bring your files?" I was caught off guard many questions ran through my head I was expected? Friend? Who knew I would be coming? And who is this 'friend'? But I can't ask any of that so I just nodded as I followed this... wait she said she will take care of the paperwork so that means she works here... omg she looks like a kid! Wait I'm getting off track... oh I guess we are here. "Oh before I forget Kurusu-kun, I am Ms. Okamine ok Kurusu-kun?" She looked at me expectantly, I guess she wants a response so I say "yes sensei" she looks at me and smile then continues "ok good, now due to certain circumstances the paperwork for you and your friend will not be done for a while so we will transfer you in together, sound good? Ok, and before I for get we will send a uniform to your residence, now run along I need to finish grading these papers." She said as she shooed me away and before I can tell her I don't have a place to send a uniform to, I am already out the door and in the hallway... 'oh well I guess I'll just deal with that later' I thought as I walked out but who is this friend she never exactly said a name or even a gender... hmmm...

[Back to the present]
<3rd person P.O.V>

As he walked down the street he pulled out the paper the boy had given him so he can find directions to the cafe named on the paper Spirit Cafe and Bakery( I couldn't think of a better name) he wasn't paying attention and just was wandering around hoping he would find it eventually as the sun began to set when suddenly he felt a spike of energy from behind him but when he turned around all he found was a paper. When he picked up the paper he noticed it was a map the words here with an arrow pointing where he was, on one side of the paper while near the center was an arrow pointing to a location right around the corner with the word destination. Akira looked around to try to find who left the note but found nothing he reached into his bag for his phone so he could just look up the adress but it was not there it also wasn't in his pockets, as he thought he noticed he might have dropped it in the forest... he looked at the paper again before sighing and following its directions and low and behold there it was Spirit Cafe and Bakery it was a two story building and didn't really stand out much, as he walked in he was hit by an extremely nostalgic smell of coffee as he looked around he saw a girl around his age with black hair bangs covering one eye while her her other eye was visible and was a vivid scarlet color almost like blood standing behind the counter staring at him while either smiling or smirking at the moment Akira could not tell, and behind her in the kitchen he sees the little boy chopping up some vegetables and putting them in a bubbling pot before turning around and pulling out a tray of fresh bread out of the oven. Akira stared wondering how the boy was doing that with a blindfold on before he is snapped out of his thoughts by the the girl behind the counter "Ara ara it seems you finally found the cafe Akira-san, I was worried that even with our help you would not show up" she said as she looked at him, now he knew, smirking. Akira looked at her and said "you were the one who left this note aren't you?" The girl giggles as she claps and says "yes good job Akira-san I was also the one that told the school to expect you." Akira looks at her and then looks at the boy as he sees he is now stirring to pot, before looking back at the girl again and sighing "you two were the ones watching me in the forest weren't you, you guys are also Nightmare, and Asassin... and the ones who stole my phone... right?" Akira says smugly as he smirks at the girl and extends his hand toward her with his palm facing up waiting for his phone. Kurumi has a surprise expression on her face as she tried to process the fact that he already found out about the phone before she is snapped back to reality by a small chuckle from the boy behind her. She looks at Akira as an amused smile spreads across her face as she has a mischievous glint in her eye before she reaches into her shirt and produces the phone from her cleavage as she responds to Akira "ara ara Akira-san you are sharper than I thought I was hoping to have a little more fun with you, oh well, Oh and where are my manners! I am Kurumi Tokisaki and this is Kuro... Tokisaki... as you have surmised we are spirits." Akira's eyes slightly widened as he saw her pull his phone out from her cleavage before putting it in his waiting hand before he returned it to his smug look as from the corner of his eye he saw Kuro as he was just told smirk in their direction before picking up the pot and a basket of bread as he climbed up the stairs, watching Kuro Akira wondered why Kurumi paused with his sir name are they really related? Akira returned his attention to Kurumi and asks "So what will I be doing here if from what I noticed Kuro is the cook and you are the barista... what about me?" Kurumi looked at him and giggled "oh Akira-san, you will be the barista I was just standing here because I wanted something to drink I actually just help with cooking and I'm also the waitress" she said as she places three glasses of water on a tray which she picks up and motions for him to follow while saying "can you lock the door and put the closed sign up Akira-san? Oh and turn off the lights" Akira simply did as told and followed her up the stairs as he sees it leads to a living room like area with a big couch and a small recliner and a coffee table in front of it as well as a tv, in the middle of the room there was a hall leading down with 4 doors then on the other side was a table where Kuro was currently spooning soup from the pot he brought up ,now sitting in the middle of the table, into bowls as he sat them down in front of 3 of the 4 chairs before sitting down as Kurumi placed water down next to each bowl before placing the tray on a counter behind the table. Kurumi sat down with Kuro and looked at Akira and said "Come and sit we will discuss the current situation as we eat ok Akira-san?" Akira simply walks forward and sits in the available seat next to Kuro as the boy simply nods at him as he sit down and says "So Akira you must be wondering why Kurumi and I own a cafe right?" Akira was startled to hear the boy speak as before that he had never muttered a word he was mostly quiet even with his laugh. Akira cleared his throat and then turned to Kurumi and said " Actually I was wondering about that now that you mention it, I was also wondering about both your eyes..." Kurumi looked at him and said "well we own a cafe because when I checked your memories you have experience of working in a cafe even living in one and as for our eyes well..." as she thought on how to respond Kuro spoke up "Kurumi always has her right eye covered because it is a dead give away to her being the spirit she is, as for me I'm just used to it" as he said that he took his blindfold off to reveal two dark amber eyes and a mole next to his left eye as well as long eyelashes. Kurumi suddenly spoke up while Akira was looking at Kuro's eyes "oh Akira-san I am surprised you haven't asked but I suggest you read that file you took from Ratatoskr on spirits." She said while smiling at him Akira's eyes widened as he remembered and called Necronomicon to the front of his mind as he pulled up the file on a holographic screen that appeared before him and began reading. After he was done he looked up and said "that explains the wardrobe change..." he then looks at Kuro who continued eating and then at Kurumi before saying" are your eyes visible in your astral dress?" Kurumi giggled and said "mine are though Kuro's astral dress has a blindfold as part of it so no one has seen his eyes or will... unless he uses an ability with them" Akira looks at Kuro and then asked "Kuro why don't you try not putting on your blindfold, unless your in your spirit form, because right now people will probably be able to tell it is you if you keep wearing the blindfold." Kuro looked at him with no expression and said "habit... but that is a good point... I'll try" Kurumi then stood up as they finished eating cleaning up. Kuro, and Akira joining in to help as well. As they cleaned Kurumi spoke "you have met my expectations Akira-san. From your calm and almost condescending attitude, to your expertise in disguises. I suppose it makes sense judging from your past." Akira looked at her and responded "of course I am a phantom thief... whatever that means..." he trailed off before looking at Kurumi and speaking quietly "that reminds me... how do you know about my history? I don't even know it, I only know small details and that's it..." Kurumi looked at him and smirked before responding "well since you finally asked I shall tell you Akira-san" as she said that she finished up and looked at Kuro as he nodded and walked towards her before producing Akiras phone. Akira immediately checks his pocket and is surprised to feel nothing there, he looked back up as Kurumi began to speak again "oh don't worry Kuro has a unique affinity for stealth... and to answer your question I used this and my angel to find out" Akira looked at her confused and was about to say something before he was cut off as Kurumi continued "you see Akira-san it would be much simple just showing you, Kuro if you can." Kuro simply nodded before saying "Come forth Invidia!" Sudenly he is engulfed in a dark purplish light before his clothes are replaced (bad with descriptions so I'll get a picture of how he looks later) and a multi colored slightly bulky dagger apears floating in mid air as he extends his hand and says " Somnum Orbis" all of a sudden everything began to warp around him and then they were standing in the clearing of a lush forest Kuro looked at Akira and smirked as he said "Welcome to the land of dreams... it is a sealed off space similar to Kurumi's shadow..." Akira only nodded as he looked around from behind him Kurumi cleared her throat and spoke "ara ara Akira-san no need to be so surprised, anyway it is my turn now Come Zafkiel" Akira watched as the shadows immediately clung to Kurumi before dispersing revealing Kurumi in a scarlet and black dress with black boots , her hair up in two uneven ponytails her left eye revealed to be a gold color with a clock like design on it and a frilly headpiece. Behind her the shadows came together to form a giant clock with a flintlock pistol and musket acting as the minute and hour hands before they fly into her hands. She looks at Akira and says "this might sting a little but I need you not to panic but just in case..." she looks at kuro as she continues "Kuro hold him down" suddenly Akira is being held down with a vine like substance as he feels himself suddenly get ten times heavier as well. From what Akira can see Kuro is simply extending his hand toward him as the roots of the trees around him bind him, Akira turns his attention back to Kurumi as she approaches him and puts his phone on his forehead before saying "Zafkiel Yud!" Suddenly he sees a shadow like substance flow from the ten on the giant clock and go straight into the barrel of the pistol before she puts it against his head. All Akira can wonder was why?... why did it feel so familiar? Then Kurumi pulled the trigger as Akira yelled out in pain as memories quickly flashed through his mind before he is overwhelmed and passes out.

That's how this chapter ends and I'll try to find pics to show Kuro's astral dress. (would it still be a dress?) And angel maybe... maybe.
