The sky was bright morning the next day, as if war had not broken out. Still, the bizarre and the toughness of the situation cannot be exaggerated. If it was given the chance to know the truth, maybe it becomes school that awaits them.
Dangerous to be left in the House of the Straw's for his parents seems to be in a bit of a cryptic vacation. Forest Straw now leaves for school coming from the Sagara's household.
"Where do are you going?" - Reiko Sagara
"School? Just needs a pair of my uniform so I'll head to back to the house first." - Forest Straw
"Going back already? Here are a pair of your Uniform." - Tanya Sagara
"Thanks Madam." - Forest Straw
"If you're going to school, then I'm coming with you." - Reiko Sagara
(arms latching into Forest Straw)
Ever since that night, Forest Straw is now starting to get attentive to detail. He notices a bench suddenly sits in the front of the neighbor next door. Then a guy in the news paper smiles at him with the face nearly identical to the one last night. After such a smile, Frank Ford flicks his fingers and Lowe and behold, Forest Straw even forgets he's even there.
But the strangeness didn't stop there. Approaching them is a guy in what seems to be in a Halloween custom of a ninja. Saying hi to Reiko Sagara as a "miss" almost like she was a princess, and reporting to her mother, Tanya Sagara.
On to the black car, as it arrives, back they go for school. In what seems to be cosplayers patrolling the streets with fake swords, only that the replicas seem to real to even tell from a distance. He now recognizes it as the friends of Yamamoto Sagara, who has been an adept story teller of swords and the samurai and bushido culture.
Arriving at school, people seemed to be different. Offending the Jenfields must have been the cause. Its not about power, its about influence, and for now, Forest Straw lacks both.
"Well, it seems that the atmosphere is tense Mr. Ling." - Reiko Sagara
"Yes, princess." - Mr. Ling (The Driver and Bodyguard)
"Black magic and propaganda must have been used." - Reiko Sagara
"Kid, this is your life now, enjoy!" - Mr. Ling
(Tells to Forest Straw in secret)
People are starting to look at both and shuns them behind their back. An almost go to scenario for them now as they were spotted going to school - together.
"Don't mind them, they are jealous." - Reiko Sagara
As they walk past the school gate and yard. People started speaking their minds. Gets Forest Straw down frustrated hearing such things occur.
"You know how bad these two are?" -passerby
"They offended the Jenfields." - passerby
"Did the two just went to school together?" - passerby
"Which means their together now?" - passerby
"Its that Forest Straw's fault. I lost my father last night." - passerby
"Quit it Quinley. Then blame me too for it." - Reiko Sagara
The moment cannot go worse as the Jenfields act the victim and even have them think that they did nothing wrong last night. They and their gang started approaching Forest Straw and Reiko Sagara like last night was just a walk in the park.
"Hello Lady Sagara." - Hans Jenfield
"L-l-lady Sagara?" - Forest Straw
(Hans looking at Forest Straw acting naive, then reverts back to Reiko Sagara)
"After last night, there is nothing to talk about." - Reiko Sagara
"So you did like my present. Just shows who is stronger." - Hans Jenfield
"But it doesn't show who is mightier." - Reiko Sagara
(Having a look, like Forest Straw should help)
"Its bad here Reiko, lets head to class fast and leave these juvenile delinquents." -Forest Straw
(As they both walk away from Hans and his Gang)
(Hans Shouts)
"If only you know what you're getting through! Young Forest Straw! If only you knew!" - Hans Jenfield
Knowing no equivalent of value to his words. Both Reiko and Forest just walks away quietly. Upon entering class, Reiko orders someone else to move away and have her sit next to Forest Straw. Her name was Memeko Kushiwari, a friend of Reiko's and sit mate of Forest Straw previously.
(Memeko Kushiwari was grateful and smiled)
"Good luck sitting with your boyfriend, wish you love and happiness forever and ever." - Memeko Kushiwari
But something in his state was amidst of all the fun. Forest straw started feeling migraines. As if, something has been eating him away. Reading his mind on that, Reiko started saying to herself: "Demon spirit rats!".
(Telepathically)
"Mother I need help from Miss Sussy Yukimura, the shaman?" - Reiko Sagara
"Why?" - Tanya Sagara
"It's my boyfriend, "demon spirit rats" are invading his body and spirit. He needs help." - Reiko Sagara
"Yes, I am on my way. To visit her." - Tanya Sagara
