Chapter 21:

The Council

Ane And His Seames


"Finally! School!" Lana exclaimed as she, Ane and Ene walked into the school.

"I'm still confused on how you got enrolled here." Ane said grinning.

"Well it's all thanks to Eina. She used...PI." Lana whispered.

"Where is she anyway?" Ene asked.

"She hasn't been released from the hospital yet but she will be later today." Lana replied.

"Oh right. What exactly was wrong anyway?" Ene inquired.

"Just a little skull damage but they haven't detected any type of brain damage." Lana explained. Ane silently listened; eyes shielded. He and Ene then ducked at the sight of a girl in a special uniform who was roaming the corridors. "What's up guys?" Lana asked as she eyed the boys.

"Shhh, student council." Ene remarked as he indicated to the girl who was inspecting those who passed her. 

"Since we missed so much school days the student council will be literally hunting for me and Ene." Ane explained. "So go to class without us. We'll work our way there eventually." he continued. Lana pouted and then sighed.

"Fine." she said before walking off and nodding at the student council member.

Ene sat on the side of the roof whistling. "I know we can fly but isn't that still dangerous?" Ane asked from across the boy.

"Yup but...oh well." Ene remarked sighing and laying back. Ane sat next to him.

"Isn't too early in the day for us to be skipping class?" Ane inquired and Ene laughed in response.

"Isn't this normal for us?" Ene asked. The boys burst into laughter and then the roof's door blew open suddenly as an intense wind blew across the area forcing the teens to hold the side of the roof to keep from falling over.

"What in the hell?" Ane said as he watched the door to see a figure in a torn cyan robe step onto the roof calmly.

"You shouldn't be skipping classes...Ene." the male figure remarked making Ene frown so hard his veins showed.

"Dude; you alright?" Ane asked; eying Ene who stood up and clenched his fists. Flames surrounded him as he eyed the figure savagely.

"It seems you still hate me." the figure said as the robe literally evaporated to reveal an orange haired man with yellow beast-like eyes and a white overall with purple undergarments who smirked.

"Who's he?" Ane asked as he glanced at Ene again.

"So Ene never even mentioned me? Not surprising." the man remarked laughing.

"Get lost!" Ene roared as he launched at the man; firing a fist of flames at the man's chest. It had no effect whatsoever.

"Tis tis tis." the man said whilst grabbing Ene's head. "You expected that to do shit!?" he asked; slamming Ene's face into his knee. "Can't you see how futile this is?" the man asked smirking. Ane stepped forward frowning.

"No." Ene said as he stood back up to then eye the man angrily.

"Come on. You already needed it recently so just give up on your whole "I'm not like you, I won't use it" mentality." the man mocked.

"What is he talking about?" Ane asked. The man scoffed.

"Isn't Ene your best friend? Yet he hasn't told you? HA! Typical demon-human relationship!" he yelled laughing.

"Don't compare me to you filth!" Ene insulted.

Well whatever." the man said shrugging before he literally began to sizzle away. "I'll be back with a proper method of persuasion." he whispered; smirking. Ene's fists were shaking.

"Who...was that?" Ane asked; running to his friend.

"My dad...Lance." Ene replied as he shoved his hands in his pockets and walked off the building. Ane stood there silently for a few moments and then the roof door swung open again and the council member walked onto the roof.

"Lost?" she asked. Ane dashed past the girl who glared ominously as he rushed by. Ane paced off and she bolted behind him calmly.

"Why me!" Ane yelled as he passed by his class where a hand grabbed him in. The council member not long after kicked the door open; glaring at the empty classroom. A female teacher with blonde hair, dark blue eyes and an impressive physique wearing a full red dress sat at her desk. 

"Hi Rianna." she said smiling.

"Ms. Goldenburg. Did you happen to see Ane run by?" Rianna inquired. The teacher pointed straight down the hall; staying seated. Rianna glared at the woman silently who rose an eyebrow. "If you'd excuse me." Rianna stated; bowing before running off; shutting the doors behind her.

"Thanks miss." Ane whispered.

"Call me Faith." the teacher replied with a smile.

"I'm sorry Faith but uh...can you get out of your chair?" Ane requested as he was under her desk; his face directly in the woman's skirt.

"Oh? You don't like what you see? I believe I wore the purple today." Faith teased as she touched the end of the panty with a smile. "Wanna see?" she whispered.

"As much as I do it's highly inappropriate." Ane remarked as he turned away.

"You're so adorable." Faith said as she poked the boy's head before standing up. Ane came out swiftly; blushing and rubbing his head awkwardly.

"So um...thanks again." he said as he started to leave but Faith squeezed onto his arm. "Um, miss?" he asked blushing.

"Shh." Faith warned softly. "She's waiting outside for you." she remarked.

"How are you so sure?" Ane inquired quietly.

"She literally knew from the start." Faith replied.

"But how though?" Ane inquired.

"Yes; no normal would realize since you were must faster than her when you crossed those few corridors but she isn't human. She's a cyborg." Faith explained.

"Cyborg?" Ane asked turning to the woman who nodded.

"I know alot about you, Ane. Including the fact you're a Patralier and I also happen to have these types of powers too." she remarked smiling. Ane rose his eyebrows in surprise.

"So are all the student council cyborgs?" he asked.

"Not all but plenty of them." Faith answered.

"So what should I do?" Ane questioned.

"Eliminate her of course." Faith said abruptly.

"What?" Ane whispered. "Why?" he asked after.

"The school board doesn't know about these cyborgs in our midst obviously so it's technically an "illegal" project." Faith explained. Ane exhaled.

"Ok. Count on me." he then said grinning. Faith hugged him and he blushed.

"Good luck." she said kissing him on the cheek then licking him teasingly. The boy went red.

Ane stood in the hall calmly picking his teeth. "Found you." Rianna said as she emerged around the corner. Ane ran immediately and Rianna rushed after him; this time sticking very close. "Give up." she requested Ane dove onto the roof again.

"Not one sign of exhaustion. How'd I not notice this before?" Ane thought; exhaling as he stopped and stared at the girl.

"Answer calmly to justice." Rianna suggested. Ane laughed and Rianna tilted her head.

"I just realized I accepted a "job" to hit around a girl." Ane thought before holding his face while laughing some more. "Faith's charms really blindsided me huh?" he thought while sighing.

"What's so funny?" Rianna inquired.

"But if I'm being honest she's technically not a human." Ane thought before flashing to the girl and firing a kick to her face. Rianna held the attack and Ane winced in pain as her grip tightened. Ane fired his next leg which Rianna also held and the boy then slammed his head into the girl's. Rianna flung back and Ane wiggled free; flipping to his feet to then shove his hands in his pockets. "She can keep up with me huh?" he thought clicking his teeth. "Definitely not good." he whispered. Rianna stood up; face partially cracked which revealed her circuits.

"A filthy elemental being." she said; glitching.

"I'm pretty sure you're one too but what do I know." Ane said shrugging as he removed his hands from his pockets. "Let's get on with it then." he remarked.

"You are weak. I shall request my master improve you as well." Rianna said as electricity blasted from her hand which opened up. Ane backflipped out of the way but the static still zapped him causing blood to spit from his jaw. The boy fell to the floor groaning.

"This isn't good one bit." he thought; standing up weakly. "If I get hit too much I'll get paralyzed." he continued as he eyed his pinky which was twitching as he tried to shift it. Ane turned to Rianna whose shoulders opened up into turrets. 

"Multi Plasma Shots." Rianna remarked. Blue balls barraged at Ane who jumped into the air.

"Think Ane, think." Ane thought as he floated in midair; frowning.
