Kakashi joined in with the long line that queued beneath the figure of Tanya Flowers. He saw Jay from the corner of his eyes, he looked far from excited now. Kakashi sighed."Good day everyone" Tanya's hair covered her brows. Her crimson uniform was a perfect fit on her. She was beautiful, and it took Kakashi this long to see that."Good day teacher" Everyone in the line courtseyed with a bow.Her eyes scanned over the heads of all her students, searching for… oh, her eyes stopped at the sight of Kakashi. Her lips curved into a smile, leaving her dimples with nowhere to hide."Kakashi, move forward" Everyone's eyes on the line turned at once to the location where Kakashi stood.He looked back to see if anyone was behind him, but he was the last person on the line. He looked back at Tanya and pointed his finger to himself in deliberation of whether her instruction was directed at him."Yes. I believe your name is Kakashi?" Tanya retorted.Kakashi adjusted his uniform as he walked by th

"Hey." Kakashi didn't look up at the owner of the voice above him. He was on his on outside, he was in deep thought over how to go about the demon that resided within him."You know you can talk about whatever has kept you like this, right? You do not have to bear it alone. We are a family here. You can confide in me." Zoa added."I have a thousand year-old demon in my body." Kakashi voiced."Well, that's not a lot. I expected more than a thousand to be fair." Zoa caught Kakashi off guard."What did you just say?" Kakashi didn't expect what he had heard."Well, I expected more than a thousand or at least more than one demon." Zoa added, drinking the content of her cup."Um, what makes you think so highly of me?" Kakashi responded sarcastically."I think anyone who can survive the tornado jump must have something possessing them. In your own case, it's a demon. But hey, how are you surviving with a demon inside of you? I find that hard to comprehend. From what I have heard, it's almost

The canteen was filled to the brim. The students congregated around the tables and seats. Zoa and Tanya were seated at their usual place. They saw Kakashi and Zoa enter with their plates in hand. Kakashi and Zoa moved in their direction once they sighted them. “Hey guys.” Zoa announced their arrival as she took a seat with her plate taking its position before her.Kakashi made way to the free seat left around the table. “Oh, shit.” Daichi Cho cursed under his breath as Kakashi closed in on the only available seat that was beside him. Kakashi saw the displeasure on Daichi’s face when he took the seat. ‘Well, there is no other place I can sea...t.’ He pondered as his eyes rested on Jay who sat alone. His stared longer than he should and Jay caught his eyes gazing. Kakashi broke off the eye contact as he felt uncomfortable.“Hey!” Kakashi was brought out of his reverie by Zoa’s call out. Tanya and Daichi joined Zoa in looking at him, expecting a reply to what he had been asked. Daich

The sky was turning pale and the light in its eyes waned. Kakashi watched the shadow disappear into the darkness, he wondered what that could have been. It could have been a student, but he felt it was something else. He had been through a lot these past few days. He didn’t rule out the possibility of what it was to be other than a student of Godlinkers High. He took another peek at the same place with a vain hope that whatever it was that disappeared into the night would come back into the light where it could be visible. He stood there a bit longer than he would have until it dawned on him that there was nothing there. ‘My eyes must have been playing tricks on me.’ He conceived. He used the back of his thumbs to rub his eyes, before taking his after one last look.“Hey, where have you been?” The unbalanced inhalation and exhalation of Jay’s breath, as well as the moistness of his forehead, suggested he had been out looking for him. “Not far away. Why?” Kakashi didn’t think he was

Most of my remaining men died of flu and animal attacks. We got back at night. I sneaked into the palace to see my family. I was drunk from the bitter taste of loss and grief, but seeing my family would reduce the pain.” The emperor’s eyes had become red and narrow. Veins assembled on his face. “Or so I thought...” “The deadly flu plagued Yahuza Nation and other surrounding nations. The best sorcerers could not find the best spells to conquer the monstrosity posed by the plague, neither could the best healers find the scientific potions to heal people who caught the flu. It was an epidemic that ravaged the whole land. It was prevalent for long, damaging crops. This caused famine in the land. We had left for battle with a lot of food and drinks before the flu spread among the people. There was not enough food for families to feed their young ones; the people had to queue for a portion of food every day, for their families. A bowl of food Yonda, a bowl of food for a family for a day. A
