Next On The Docket

"Hello Momo"

Soren said grabbing a napkin for his tomato soup covered face.

"You know"

He said while thoroughly cleaning his face.

"You can just say hi like a normal person"

She continued on with her mischievous smile.

"Well I could but where would the fun be in that? Plus I wanted to make sure you where still sturdy"

Soren now proceeded to clean his stained blazer collar, with out even looking up he said.

"If your referring to my wounds then don't worry"

He tried his best but soup residue was still on his collar, when he looked up he saw that she was no longer smiling her face was straight laced but he could see hints of worry on that face. His lips curled slightly while rubbing his sides where a few hours ago he was stabbed by a possessed security guard.

"I'm ok honestly nurse Joyce healed me up good, I'm still a little sore but besides that I'm just fine, thanks for your concern"

Momo's straight face shifted to a face of pure Revolution.

"I wasn't concerned"

She said adamantly.

"Then why'd you ask?"

"I didn't!"

"Yes you did you just asked a moment ago don't you remember?"

"No! Don't you remember I hate smart ass comments!!"

She raised her voice this drawing the attention of many on lookers, her cheeks were slightly red from anger and embarrassment.

"If you must know"

She said loud enough for anyone to hear.

"I was just curious to see if your body was still sturdy that was all!"

She wiped her head forcefully away she had her arms crossed and eyes closed as she did it, all the on lookers who were ear hustling all assumed they were having a lovers quarrel.

"Well thank you anyway"

Soren said as his grin grow two sizes bigger.

"Thank you for your concerned curiosity"

She looked back at him seeing his stupid, her thoughts not mine, smiling face pissed her off she wanted to snap at him again but just chose not to. Soon after the bell rang signifying that lunch was over, as the students got up leaving their seats one by one Momo hopped down off the table that had been her temporary throne as she did she swiped a drink that had been sitting in arms reach of her the whole time.

"Umm"

Soren said frazzled.

"That's mine actually"

He said this and he knew he said it, he heard himself and she heard him too but she said nothing to acknowledge that she heard him, while making eye contact Momo opened and proceeded to take a long exaggerated sip from the drink. Soren held his head down clearly defeated he could only sigh as he got his stuff.

"Fiiinnneeee I guess you can have it"

"Well I guess I can"

She said arrogantly, as they walked to the 5th period class Advanced Physical education Soren couldn't hold back his own curiosity.

"Soooo..... How'd you beat him?"

"Hmmmm?"

She grumbled back.

"How'd you beat beat him?"

He asked again.

"The guard how did you stop him?"

Momo was quiet for quite a long time before he could fill awkward her lip began to move.

"I didn't..... well I don't think so.... all i remember was decking him in the face real hard after he stabbed you then every thing goes blank for a while.... next I remember I was on my knees in pain and I saw Rochelle pop up out off no where"

"So Miss Rochelle delivered the final blow?"

"I guess so I'd ask her for the details but she isn't here right now"

There mouths remained closed while they finished there walk to the north buildings gymnasium, when they were right outside the gyms doors Momo froze as she grabbed the handle she hesitated and as fury slowly rose up she couldn't help but speak the truth that her heart was undoubtedly full of.

"I won't lose next time, I'll be sure to kick his ass next time"

Soren looked at here hardened face but decided to snort at her choice off words.

"I hate to burst your bubble"

He said as he opened the door himself.

"But if Miss Rochelle did get involved then that ghost has probably already been eliminated"

"You know what I mean"

Momo blurted out rather suddenly undetered with anything Soren had said.

"I'm saying I won't lose again, never again to anyone especially not to trash like that thing"

Rico Nanami was informed not to do any combat training, well not yet anyway, she was told to let the two rest and she did but since she couldn't fight or teach anyone to fight or about fighting she had to do something be something so she chose to be the little chatter box that she was. At first she wanted her students to talk about there experience on there first ever field trip but eventually, no shocker, she went on a long tangent about herself and her first ever mission when she was still a student, she recounted her long... long..... long story while doing push-ups. Rico's voice drowned out into the background and Momo and Soren watched her as they sat on the bleachers, they just watched her go on and on as she chatted away going crazy with the push-ups.

"So what's are next class after this circus?"

Momo asked as they both gazed at the marvel that was Rico Nanami.

"Next is Advanced Art well... for me anyway, did you also select art"

"Select?"

She said confused.

"The hell are you talking about?"

"Oh before I came here Miss Rochelle told me that I could choose a elective class so given my families line of work I chose art"

Momo looked at Soren completely lost as if he let the stupidest words escape his mouth.

"Huh? She never mentioned that to me when I was being recruited! I thought you and I shared the same classes!"

She was getting heated, good thing to know for the future reference Momo hated being blind sided.

"HEY CIRCUS FREAK!"

She screamed at Rico.

"WHAT'S A ELECTIVE CLASS!?"

Rico stopped mid push-up and halted her tale.

"Huh? you want to know about about elective classes?"

"YES THAT'S WHY I ASKED YOU!!"

Momo belted back.

"There a personal class students can select to find there speciality as a Shaman, here at D.M.T.A it's important to learn the basics of Shaman work but to also find your own niche as a Shaman"

Answering that question brought sweet memories back to Rico's mind, so she dropped here current story and switched to one about her elective class back in her school days. As the chatter box went on another tangent Soren and Momo continued on with there conversation.

"If your so curious about your next class then check your syllabus"

Soren said as he watched Rico gab away while doing stomach crunches.

"Oh yea that's right"

She snapped her fingers then pulled out the stapled paper she was handed only yesterday, she burned through the paper reading each and every class she was taking when she got to the end her face shriveled up like a raisin.

"What's the matter?"

Soren asked as he leaned over towards her paper starting to read himself.

"What's it say?"

"It says my next class is Demonology 101... what in the actual hell is that"
