How To Deal With Envy *harsh language*

[Freya Shimizu]

As the school bells chimed the hour, Freya looked up in surprise. She'd been at in the literature class room since 4pm. It was starting to get late now and she knew she'd have to move soon otherwise she was gonna run into the Night Class and no doubt get in trouble for hanging around after hours. It wasn't her fault exactly, she been finishing up her report for tomorrows lesson and it was far to loud in the dorms get it done. Besides she already had a headache and didn't need it multiplying by a ten fold, which it would if she'd stayed in her room.

Looking back down to her work she smiled, and pulled out a check list "Right, conclusion, done" With a flourish of her hand she ticked the final word off on her list, chucked it over towards the bin and closed her notebook. Slipping her stuff into her bag and fastening it up, she stretched and slid her chair out from under the desk.

Standing up she yawned and began to make her way towards the door when her exit became barred by a group of yanki girls. Stopping just short of them, Freya scanned their faces. She recognized some of them from her floor but most of them she didn't know. Starting forward again she attempted to slip past the nearest one when the others began to orbit her like weird planets. Stopping again, she twisted with the circling girls and sighed. "Is there any particular reason why you lot are circling me like vultures?"

Beginning to laugh the girls stopped as one of them, most probably the leader took a step forward. "Check it out girls, kitties got claws today" Freya scanned the faces around her once more and made a head count, 6 of them in all. Laughing again, anther voice broke the circle this time, coming from behind her. "Whats the matter Shimizu, your boyfriend not hanging around you today?" another voice cut in "Aww Shimizu lost her man already, what a shaaaame".

Confused, Freya hitched her bag up onto her shoulder "What are you guys talking about?" The leader spoke again "Aww look, she's acting all innocent, doesn't know what we're talking about". The collective laugher echoed through the empty room once again and a new voice cut through this time "Hmmm maybe we should show her what we mean" and before the last part of the sentence left the girls lips, Freya's bag was ripped from her shoulders and tossed across the room. "Don't f**king know? What? as if we'd really believe that you little slut! WE. SAW. YOU." The leader squared up to Freya and reached her nail clad hand to the back of the poor girls head. Roughly she used Freya's long blue locks as a rope to yank her head upwards.

"Ow what the hell are you doing, who the hell are you?" The girls closed in on Freya and a pair of sharp hand closed around her shoulders, the grip on her hair let up, taking a fair few strands with it. Barley a second later, she felt her spine crash into the wooden desks behind her and as a few tears of pain slid down her cheek she screamed. The girls laughed and once more the lead closed in on her prey. This time taking Freya's face in her talon clad hands she dug her nails into Freya's skin "How the f**k an ugly FRRREAK like you got Ichijou-Senpai's attention I don't f**king know but its about time you gave up on it". The talons contracted further and out of no where a new hand flew into her stomach, winding her.

Gasping for breath and on the verge of puking, Freya collapsed to her knees and as if to add insult to injury the now familiar talon clad hand slapped her across the face, slashing at her features as it did. Bleeding now, the girls began to laugh again each taking their own swipe at her body. "IF WE EVER CACTCH YOU HANGING AROUND ICHIJOU-SENPAI OR EVEN ANYWHERE NEAR THE NIGHT CLASS, WE'LL KILL YOU!" Unable to make sense of what was happening Freya began to loose her grip on conciouness as the girls torments followed her into the darkness. "You are not worthy of him and there's no way in hell he could ever fall for someone like you".

"No...its...hes n...not...why are you...stop...p..p..please I...I..." mumbling helplessly Freya began to grow numb to the pain, unsure of which part of her body was the target. as the voices around her merged into one she began to wonder if her time was finally up.

[Chihiro 'Hiro' Iwashima]

Playing big brother seemed easy. All Hiro had to do was stay a safe distance away from Freya and just watch over her. It was easier than he expected but was getting joy out it. She got to become friends with Freya and the girl from England made her laugh. But after the several incidents with vampires that attacked Freya, Hiro kept a closer eye on her 'adopted sister'. Though tonight, Chihiro didn't expect Freya to take so long in the classroom.

She kept her distance but was there enough to see who came and went in the hallways. Hiro sat high in the dark on top of the pillars that opened to an indoor courtyard. The pillar on which she sat was the only one that didn't keep the ceiling up. Chihiro looked to the watch and read the time. She sighed and then suddenly heard voices down the hall... it was those giggles. Hiro remembered those giggles. One of those girls believed to be her girlfriend. She nearly puked at just thinking about it.

After hearing more giggles and some yelling, Chihiro jumped down from her pillar and landed on two feet and one hand. Hiro found that some Night Class students were walking this way and Hiro contacted Takuma in the crowd. She told him what was happening and he would come in at her signal. She walk slowly back to the classroom and stood behind the girls. If Freya saw her, she would see that Hiro had a finger up to her mouth and told her to be quiet. As the girls laughing became more annoying, Hiro leaned against the threshold with one propped leg. She crossed her arms and gave a loud sigh, "It's girls like you that disgust me."

The group of girls turned around and blushed. The leader was the one that claimed to be Hiro's girlfriend. Little did she know that many girls claimed that to be the girlfriend. But Chihiro already had her own, Mylina. With a smirk she turned to the girls and asked, "So you wanted to pick a fight with my sister, huh? Well, if that happens you get to mess with me."

The leader laughed and moved toward Hiro. She put her hand on Hiro's shoulder. Chihiro looked and the girl said, "You don't mean that Chihiro-kun. Especially not to your girlfriend." Hiro scoffed and took one of her hands and pushed the girls hand off her shoulder. She leaned in close and said, "Oh yes I do. And when did you think that we were a couple? I have a girlfriend if you didn't know."

All the girls gasped and the leader flushed, "Chi-chihiro-kun..." Fake tears forming. Hiro rolled her eyes and pushed through the girls. She bent down to Freya and took her arm and put it over her shoulder. Hiro lifted Freya up and asked, "You alright, sis?" She gave a soft smile and the girls went crazy. "SISTER! But you aren't related!"

"Can't mean that we can be siblings. After all, I'm adopted into her family and vice versa." Hiro gave a small wink to Freya and whistled, Takuma's cue, "By the way, I have a special guest for you ladies. And he heard your whole conversation and isn't very happy." Soon a figure appeared in the doorway. His arms crossed and a serious look on his face. The girls gasped and tears formed, "Ichijou-sama! Why are you here?"

[Takuma Ichijou]

Talking with some of the other Night Class students was a breeze. He kept a smile most of the time and listened to everyone. They were all the same, vampires, but ever more they were all friends. Soon Takuma heard hisses coming from some of the nobles ahead of him. But he saw some of the few purebloods bowing. Takuma blinked several times as he saw who the hisses and bowing were toward to, it was a vampire hunter, Iwashima Chihiro. When Chihiro came up to him, the Vice President stopped dead in his tracks.

He blinked several more times when Hiro told him what was happening. And as soon as a couple words came into his hearing, Takuma was mad... no worse than that... he was pissed. He nodded when Hiro mentioned having him come into the literature classroom at a signal. The other night class was going into the history classroom and Takuma told them to go ahead for he would catch up in a little bit. Takuma followed behind Hiro and remained out of sight for the time being.

The Vice President of the Night Class heard every word that the crazed fangirls. Takuma set down his books and began to feel himself shaking in anger. Then suddenly after hearing what Hiro said and his whistle, Takuma stood in the doorway. With light coming from the classroom and the dark behind him you could clearly see his outline and features. His arms crossed, a serious face and green eyes were glaring at the group of girls.

"Is that how you view me girls? As a piece of meat that only belongs to the fan club?," Ichijou questioned. The girls upset couldn't say anything in return, "I told you before girls that I didn't want a fanclub or even for that matter for you to do reckless things. It shames me for seeing women pity themselves to this level."

Takuma shook his head and soon his eyes fell upon the hurting Freya... his Freya, his girlfriend. Once more she shook with anger and yelled, "WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHY DID YOU HURT MY GIRLFRIEND?! DO YOU HAVE NO EMOTION?!" Takuma held firm. He shook with anger but kept his vampire state down. How he wanted to these girls but he wouldn't. Soon the Vice President pushed the girls out of his way and went toward Freya. His eyes softened and he took her into his arms, which left Chihiro just standing there. Takuma took a sad sigh and whispered, "I'm sorry, Freya. I couldn't protect you from their shenanigans. I'm sorry."

((&& Frey-chan, I decided to just leave the girls to you and Hiro. I know they should have responses right here but I was too lazy to type them in. lol Sorry.))

[Freya Shimizu]

Struggling to stay conscious Freya tried to grasp what was going on around her, a new voice had entered the mix but she couldn't recognize it. Falling forwards she finally lost her balance and crashed to the ground, no doubt damaging her body even more then it already had been. She lay their silently, drowning in darkness when the warmth of a hand closed around her arms and lifted her gently form the ground. The action was probably gentle but to her, it felt like a fire burning underneath their fingers.

As the numb pains began to make their way up her nervous system and into her brain, she realized the girls had ceased their attack and now her body was aware of the damage caused. "Ow...dont...dont it hurts...it.." her voice was barley a whisper. Still unsure of who it was keeping her stable she stumbled forward a few centimeters. She'd never been this weak before, she didn't like it, it made her feel like a failure.

"You alright, sis?"

Sis? Did she have siblings? No Freya was an only child but, there was one person in the Academy who saw her as a sister. "H...Hiro...Hiro...It hurts...my body it..." Her sentence was cut short by a violent cough which would have sent her to the ground again had Hiro not been holding her steady. She tried to speak again but all that came out was a rasp. Tears beginning to stream down her face, she clung onto Hiro like moss to a rock, afraid that if she let go, she'd be lost to the darkness threatening to swallow her whole.

As Hiro guided her forward, she tried to concentrate on the floor in front of her, catching jumbled snippets of conversation as she did. She couldn't make out anything coherent but she soon became aware of another presence in the room. An eerie silence seemed to fall over them and as a new voice broke the air, she knew who it was immediately, and she froze dead in her tracks.

"Is that how you view me girls? As a piece of meat that only belongs to the fan club?,"

Turning her head slightly she spoke into Chihiro's ear. "Hiro...Hiro...make him go away...I...I don't want him to...to see my weakness"

The Yanki second in command took a step forwards. "Taku...er...Ichijou-Senpai! Thats not it at all we simply want to protect you from girls like that!" she jabbed a talon clad finger towards Freya, the action bringing Freya to Takuma's attention for the first time. "She's just using you Senpai..." As Freya began to focus she caught almost every word of what the Yanki girl said. "No its not...I...I won't because I...I..lo" her sentence was cut short by another violent cough which sent her reeling again. She didnt need to finish it though as Takuma finally caught sight of her, his emrald eyes took in her injuries and she saw the anger bubble to the surface. She'd never seen him angry before.

Bowing her head in shame she began to cry, If only he hadn't come in, she would have passed out, Hiro would have taken care of her and Takuma wouldn't need to know what had happened, if he enquired about her injuries, she'd simply tell him it was a skateboarding accident. She didn't want to burden him because she couldn't handle a group of jealous girls. Dreading his retort, Freya burried her head into Hiros shoulder.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?! WHY DID YOU HURT MY GIRLFRIEND?! DO YOU HAVE NO EMOTION?!"

Stunned into silence, the girls where brushed aside as Takuma made a beeline for Freya. His arms closed around her and her body screamed out in pain, another gentle action spoilt by the injuries induced by those bitches. "Don't...it hurts...my entire body hurts...Taku...Ichijou-Senpai..." she corrected her self and spoke to him formally, not wanting to give the girls more reason to cause him trouble or to cause herself pain again. "Im so sorry for being weak..." She was ashamed of herself and couldn't bare to hold him the way she wanted to. "Im so orry for being weak".

((Ok so Frey was gonna tell Takuma that she loves him BUT she decided to hold it back for now, the characters can pick up on it if you want em to LOL but I don't want it being said yet, I have a plan for that))

[Chihiro 'Hiro' Iwashima]

“You have to deal with the pain, Freya.” Hiro said as he held onto Freya for the time being. Several times she sent the group of girls a death glare and they merely gasped. Chihiro looked back to Freya as she held on with all her might. That only gave a satisfied grin to her face but it soon twisted in sympathy as soon as Freya's voice cut off by the pain, “How bad did they hurt you?” Chihiro looked to the girls and glared at them once more, “You bitches! How can you stoop so low that you nearly kill someone! I should have a personal talk with the Headmaster. He'll see you out of the school for good.” There she did it. The final pull for the girls.

They all gasped and tried to leave the room, away from all of this but they were stopped from Takuma. Hiro smiled and just watched the scene unfold in front of her. She could only merely grin in pleasure at the sight of the horrible girls getting yelled at. Chihiro then heard and felt Freya's soft voice on her ear. She turned to Freya and merely chuckled, “It's too late for that, sweetheart. When I heard you and theses girls yelling at you, Ichijou was walking by I told him everything,” Hiro paused, “After all I'm supposed to tell him everything, remember?”

Hiro stared back to Takuma. He was making his way over to Freya. She let him take his girlfriend and Chihiro was free to do as she pleased. The girl that claimed to be her 'girlfriend' came over once more. She gave puppy dog look and looked Hiro in the eye, “You won't tell on me will you? I'm your girlfriend after all.” Hiro's face twisted into disgust. She couldn't control herself now. She pulled on the girls hair, sent her to the ground and then she slapped the girl across the face. “You don't listen do you?!I told you I have a girlfriend. And you're not it,” Hiro then began to walk toward the door but she didn't leave. She merely leaned against the threshold. After all she was employed by Takuma, “Get out our sights before I actually hurt you.”

The girls just stood there frozen. They didn't know if they should leave or stay. They didn't know where to look. But they knew they were stuck. Chihiro merely chuckled at herself and looked to Takuma, “What do you want me to do with them, Ichijou?” Hiro looked to her employer and waited for an answer.

[Takuma Ichijou]

Once Takuma took hold of Freya, he knew that it caused her pain. He made a face that meant he was sorry but he held on to her lightly. Takuma looked her over and began to see bruises appear. His face twisted and looked to the ones that caused the injuries. The girls were looking at everyone in the room. Takuma listened to one of the girls. He then chuckled lightly, “I think I shouldn't be protected from her at all. It's you I need to be protected from. All you girls are psychotic.” Takuma then gaped. “You don't know anything.”

The Vice President then looked back to Freya. He gave soft smile, “Taku. Not Ichijou. Taku. That's the name you gave me, remember? Then call me that.” Takuma then shook his head after he listened Freya once more, “You shouldn't be sorry. They caught you off guard and stooped so low. I bet you could have taken them.” He gave Freya a wink and leaned to give her a kiss on her cheek. But he didn't move after that for he whispered in her ear, “My Freya could have taken them. Use some of those clumsy steps and they would be falling to their knees. Or better yet your skateboarding skills. That would have put them into their place.”

He leaned away and looked upon Hiro's little scene. Takuma had one eyebrow raised after he watched the other male lean against the threshold and ask what to do, “I don't know. You are welcome to tell the Headmaster or you are welcome do to as you please. But perhaps it would be better if we asked the victim here,” Takuma turned to Freya, “What shall we do with them, my Freya?” He grinned and then asked, “Or would you rather have me take you back to your dorm or infirmary?”

[Freya Shimizu]

Not wanting to stoop to their level, Freya coughed once more, before turning to look at all of them directly "It's okay, I'm still alive and I DOUBT they'll do anything like this again after Kiryu-Kun has a word with them..." She knew the majority of the girls were afraid of the silver haired prefect. He was the only one in the school who could completely shut them all up with a mere glance, that was punishment enough for them.

"I don't want to stoop to their Level". Managing to stand up straight, she started forwards. "For once... the infirmary seems like a good bet Taku...Hiro, thank you, I'll leave them with you". She wobbled slightly but Takuma's firm grip kept her steady "...Maybe I'll start taking Karate..."

She let out a quiet chuckle before realizing the movement hurt her belly. As the two of them stepped out into the hallway she smiled "You always know where to find me...even if your miles away at first..."
