Terry and Kurama look up as Ms. Hinako scolds them. Kurama looks down at his desk.
"I apologise, Ms. Hinako." he says politely.
"You're forgiven." Ms. Hinako replies, smiling at Kurama.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Hinako." Terry says. "I was merely trying to make aquaintances with Ms. Huntington."
Ms. Hinako looks at Terry crossly.
"Uh huh." she says. "That's not a good excuse."
She reaches up and pulls down her bowl of fighting fish. She points her coin at the fish and mutters her magic words. She frowns as it doesn't work. She looks down at the fish and gapes in dismay. The fighting fish are floating on top of the water.
"I guess I forgot to feed them." she mutters to herself. "Now what?"
She looks up at Terry suddenly and gets a nasty glint in her eye. Putting her fish back on the table, she approaches Terry and stands next to him, looking up, arms akimbo.
"Since you weren't working, I shall have to punish you." she says. "I won't have students being disobedient in class, do you understand me?"
"Yes, Ms. Hinako." Terry says.
"Good."
Ms. Hinako points her coin at Terry.
"Happo go-en setsu!" she says.
The class gapes as Ms. Hinako begins to revert to her grown self, and suddenly shrinks again. She looks at Terry in confusion.
"Happo go-en setsu!" she tries again.
Nothing happens at all this time. She pouts in annoyance. She turns to the big, irritated-looking student sitting beside Terry.
"Happo go-en setsu!" she tries.
She reverts to her grown up self and the student slumps over as he is suddenly weakened. Ms. Hinako frowns at Terry and smacks him on the head with his textbook.
"Next time, work." she orders.
"Yes, Ms. Hinako." he replies.
She walks back to her desk and starts searching for a sweet. Kurama braves a questioning glance at Terry.
"I guess I don't have any angression." Terry whispers quietly.
Kurama smiles slightly before returning to his book. |
