• The Hymn of a bell: Part 1

    Sensei Kyuui and the bell

    Kyuui sensei is know for his subject. You see, Kyuui Sensei teaches biology, at my school. My name is Sukai, Or Sora. They both mean the same.
    You see I'll be graduating High school soon, But anyway, Sensei Kyuui is single and pretty young most of my classmates even some of the 'males' as well. Sensei is widowed, His previous wife died from a brain tumor. Everyone loves Kyuui sensei, even myself.

    "Sukai," A mutter was heard from the front of the room. Sukai looked up. "Yes Sensei Kyuui?" The tall, slender man gave a sigh of relief, He removed a small amount of hair that was resting on his forehead and tucked it over to the side by his right ear. "Sukai...Don't scare us like that, you were so quiet..." "I am sorry sensei..." "No matter." He sighed once more trying to release tension in his body. his long fingers grazed the board, his nails making a slight tap when they stopped movement over a phrase. He pushed up his reading glasses with his index finger. The glasses were the perfect shape of a square with small black framed rims. Sukai glanced over at Harmony; a student who had been in Kyuui's class so long it seemed that she was old enough to be his mother, She still would flirt claiming to us that it was nothing, instead of flirting she needed to find a way to pass the class;That would never happen. A gossip spread around the campus. Harmony had claimed she was going to date Sensei Kyuui, And bare his children, Harmony was once Sukai's friend but had been transformed to the rival. Sukai would lower her head in defeat when Harmony would look over her shoulder and pass a smug look of victory, She was gorgeous compared to Sukai. At that moment the bell had rung.

    Sukai started her walk home, She walked out of Kyuui's classroom and passed though some hall's. The grass crunched under her sneakers and the sun lit up her hair. Sukai Fell backwards onto the grass, The suns warmth sent a sensation of joy into her body. "I don't care what Harmony claims to have done, this is all I need..." Sukai turned her head to the side, A gold shine glittered in the sun's light and made an elegant glimmer. Sukai made a small gasp and reached out. The object was round; Attached to a red satin ribbon. Sukai nimbly picked up the object with care, It gave off a elegant ring. "It's a bell." The bell gave off it's small ring. "Oh," Sukai shook it. A soft melody formed from the small pattern of the rings. Sukai smiled to herself and placed the bell in the her jeans pocket. Sukai stood up having quite a tussle with her backpack.

    "Sensei-Kyuui..." Sukai poked the bell, Its hymn led to the silent sound of despair, Sukai turned her head to the side in aw as there was a knock on her door."Oh..." She opened the door. "Sensei Kyuui!" The slender man looked over her form in a shroud of mystery. His long slender fingers lay atraced around the door frame, His frown brought sadness compared to that of a silent eve. "Sukai..." He lifted his hand and place it on her head his fingers intertwined with locks of red. "Sensei Kyu-" "I believe you have a bell in your possession, " Sukai lifted the bell by the satin lace. "This Sensei?" Kyuui reached out his hand, the palms of a older man were much larger than hers as she lowered the bell in his possession. "Kyuui-sensei..." Sukai let out a smile. "Kaichou tell's me that you...had my bell...that you stole it from me..." 'Harmony...you traitor...' Sukai's thought's banged against one another like the ringing of mad bell's cracking as they clashed; Sukai was about to crack to her lowest point. "No! I didn't steal your bell sensei! No! I never would!" Thunder clashed in the background beyond Kyuui, "Sensei never!" 'No...Harmony...She..' Sukai took off in full sprint out the old heavy oak door that was swinging in the wind, its pace slowed to show ultimate sorrow in its wake. 'A nightmare a nightmare! This has to be a nightmare!" She made a prayer in her native tone, " ashi ashi akumu hima wagami dzuki kanashimi" The prayer meant; "evil evil nightmare leave Myself to sorrow" ' I love sensei Kyuui and she does this to me... Harmony...What happened to the old days?' Sukai's thoughts raced as the tears of sadness and anger rolled down her cheeks. 'Why?! What did I ever do to you?!'

    The next day was just as miserable. Sukai rested her head in her hands for all of her classes till the bell had rung. "Sukai..." The female lifted her head to three shadows who overcasted her. "How dare you steal from Kyuui sensei!" "I didn't steal from him!" "Harmony told us all that you did, she saw you!" Rage filled Sukai's heart the courage built and raged on like a fire. Sukai stood up. "Where is Harmony!?" Sukai dashed out of the room after hearing the location of the rival; the enemy and the competitor...The traitor; Outside the sun shined and beamed down on the students in the courtyard. Sukai ran harder and faster and pushed to locate Harmony. She spotted her. Harmony's long blonde hair gave herself away, so did her dark tan skin from to many hours in the sun. "Harmony!" Sukai called to the enemy slowly making her way over. "Yea, Sukai...? What you need help with homework or something? Want me to walk you home... baby?" "What did I do too you Harmony!? Why!?" Harmony's eye's narrowed to that of a furried snake. "Because I know you love sensei Kyuui two-" A loud sound echoed though the air and sukai fell to the ground. Sukai's trembling hand reached to the now red cheek that stung. "Harmony...." "Sukai I will not share him with you! Your pretty your too cute for him!" "Wha-?" Harmony brought among more abuse and slapped her again. "Sukai you need to stay away from Sensei and give us a chance!" The sun dissappered the light of hope vanquised with it.

    Sukai made her way throughout the hall's of the empty school. The thunder masked the cry's of her heart and the pain of her body. She clutched her left arm and secluded with the sad feeling. 'My arm is so bruised....' The thoughts cryed. Body,Mind and soul were abused in the current situation. "Harmony...." She propped herself against the wall farthest from the windows that were abundant in the schools hall. She slid down the wall and hit the floor without a sound. Burying her head within her knees she tryed to anilize the situation. "Sukai...." A slight tug of the red hair gave away the stranger standing infront of her. "Sensei....Go away...." They kneeled in front of her. "Sukai look at me, It's me you biology teacher. " Sukai slowly lifted her head. "Kyuui Sensei...." Kyuui placed his hand on her cheek, Sukai shuddered at the pain from a bruise on her jaw. "Who did this...?" "Nobody did it...." "Tell me now Sukai you are a horrible liar." Kyuui made a solem sigh and released his hand from her cheek. "If you don't tell me....I'll find out..." "Harmony and her friends did..." Kyuui placed his index finger on his lip. "So Harmony and her gang was it?" "Yes Sir..." Kyuui bit on his nail and smiled, A lovingly cute smile. "You haven't smiled ike that...since your wife died sensei..." "I am just happy to be around a student of mine who always tell's the truth..." Sukai's heart skipped a beat. Kyuui pushed himself to his feet with a small groan of pain from aging. "C'mon Sukai..." He held out his hand and his long fingers motioned for her hand. Sukai placed her fingers in Kyuui's hand. "I need your whole hand...Sukai," "Yes Sir..." Her palm slipped into his and he pulled her up with a smile. "Sensei..." "Yes Sukai?" She ran forward and hugged him her arms extended around his waist. "I love you Sensei!"

    Sukai ran to school a jump in her step "Today is wonderful..." She felt the band-aid on her cheek that was placed there by Kyuui. She took a glance at Harmony who was sitting by her clique who were comforting her, Sukai walked over a feeling of another beating on the rise. "Harmony..." Harmony raised her head. "What...?" Mascara ran down her cheeks in rivers. Sukai put out her hand. "Harmony...I don't want to compete...I want to be friends with you again...." Harmony studied her hand. "Seriously...?" "Yes Harmony!" Sukai said with a bright smile. Harmony bit her lip and grabbed onto Sukai's hand. Sukai pulled her up to her feet as the bell rang and the clique and students ran inside. "I don't want to compete either...Kyuui is so last week!" Sukai laughed and the girls walked to class., The sun shining and giving a hint that today would be a good day no matter what

    In the last class of the day Kyuui's Biology the students had a study day for end of the year exams. Sukai pulled her chair across the floor giving the grey tile a small line of oil and pulled it next to Harmony. "What do you have trouble with...?" Sukai muttered to Harmony. "Everything..." "It woundn't be good for your popularity if you were to fail highschool..." "forget popularity..." "Huh?!" Sukai said with disbelief in the tone of her words. "Forget the clique..." Harmony gave a small smile and Sukai finished it for her with a huge smile. "Sukai you are goofy..." They both laughed. Kyuui strutted over to them a small smile on his face. "What are you girls giggling about?" "Sensei Kyuui...Harmony need's help," "I see..." The teacher pulled out one of Harmony's book's and leafed though it to a page. "Start here Harmony...." "Yes sir..." Kyuui looked at Sukai. "This is for you..." He placed a small bag on the biology table and walked back to his desk. Harmony peered up. "What is it?" Sukai start to unwrap the small bag made of red felt. "here..." Harmony shook it and a small sound was heard then a small clink. Both teens peered down. Sukai gasped. "Sensei's bell....""Kyuui Sensei...." Sukai held the bell in her small palm. A note layed with it that read:

    My heart lies in this bell take it and take good care of it,
    ~ Love, Aijou Kyuui
    "Kyuui-sensei"

    The bell let out a tiny hymn not longer of misery.
