Hades stood motionless at the classroom window gazing
out at the school grounds, thinking of the classes he
had taught today (which consisted of him telling the
students to start at the beginning of their books,
read to the end, and expect a test tomorrow) and, of
course, his plans for later. This school assembly had
become an unexpected detour and he rearranged his
schedule in his mind, making up for the time he would
lose due to it. He assumed he would need to be present
for it, and he still needed to appear to be an
upstanding teacher, so attendance was mandatory. This
would force him to shorten his plans for the science
club meeting, making things move along quicker than
what he had planned. A shame really. Rushed plans
often fail miserably.
A knock at the door snapped him from his train of
thought. Hades went over and opened it. In the hallway
stood Ashura, eye still swollen from his fight with
Okita earlier that day. ?I hope that this will be good
news.?
?I dealt with that student as you requested sir.?
?Excellent.? Hades placed his hand underneath Ashura?s
chin and lifted his face to the light. ?I see you did
not walk away unscathed.?
Ashura sneered. ?Sometimes even otaku get lucky sir.?
?Yes, that they do.? Hades was slightly disappointed
in this outcome. He had hoped Ashura would be what he
was looking for in a subordinate, flawless. But from
the looks of the rest of the students at this school,
Ashura would probably be the best he could find.
?Is there still a club meeting scheduled for after
school sir??
?Yes that is still on schedule. Would you know how
many people I can expect to attend??
?Not many. The science club has never been that
popular.?
?Pity. Well, I guess we will gather after the
assembly. Tell everyone who wishes to attend to be
here, Ashura.?
?Yes sir.? With that Ashura turns to leave.
?And Ashura,? Hades speaks.
?Yes sir??
?Do not worry about your eye. There will be plenty of
opportunities for revenge later. After all, it is only
the second day of school.?
?Yes, that it is sir, that it is.? Ashura grins slyly
at Hades, bows, and leaves to find the members of the
science club.
Hades shuts the door closed after Ashura?s departure
and walks to his desk. He sweeps his cape back and an
assortment of items he had stolen from the students in
his classes poured out onto his desk. Pens,
paperclips, notepads, staplers, calculators, PDA?s,
cell phones, video games, all sorts of school items
plopped on to the desk. Hades examined all the items
and picked up a cell phone, smashed it on the wall,
picked through the shattered pieces for the antennas,
transmitters and receivers, and tossed the rest into
the trashcan. He did this with each electronic device
until he had a pile of circuitry laid out in front of
him. Hades grabbed a couple of pieces from the pile
and began twisting the exposed metal wires, connecting
SMD resistors to batteries, capacitors to heat sinks,
transistors to antennas, and so on until he had a
small device about the size of a dime in his hand.
Hades dropped the item onto the table and grabbed
another handful of pieces and cobbled together another
exactly the same. He repeated the process several more
times, creating several copies of one item and then
switching to another kind. Hades began doing this
process without even looking at the items he was
holding in his hand. He stared out the window again,
thinking. That is, until something caught his eye.
?Well what do we have here?? Hades asked himself.
Down in the yard, some of the children were creeping
up to his newly acquired residence. Among them was the
Aritomo boy from his homeroom class. Usually one to
defend his personal property to the death, Hades was
not at all disturbed by these children?s actions.
Then things became even more interesting. Hades could
hear a voice, disturbingly familiar, just below him.
Looking down the saw?himself? Some other boy was
talking to this new Hades and as they were talking,
Hades? (the imposter?s) cape billowed in the wind,
allowing the real Hades to see two children, one
sitting on another?s shoulders, underneath. An
excellent disguise job, only someone viewing from
Hades? vantagepoint (or directly behind) could have
seen them at that moment. The student ran off after
talking to the imposters to pull the other children
who were attempting to break into the house away and
the imposters made their way on towards Hades' house.
Hades noticed that this time the imposters had enough
sense to make sure the cape stayed pulled tight while
they were walking to prevent anyone from seeing the
two of them inside. Hades was encouraged to see this.
Children with this kind of initiative and creativity
were rare to find. They were much more inspired than
those who simply decided to creep in were. They could
be useful. Hades looked down at the house. He made a
gesture with his hand, holding his opened hand out and
then closing it into a fist.
The imposters walked up to the front door. The door
opened and they went in. The door slammed shut. There
was a muffled scream and then silence.
?Curiosity is always dangerous, children,? Hades felt
the laughter building inside him.
?Looks like its time for the assembly, Mwa ha ha ha!?
Hades swept his cape over the desk full of components
he had just assembled and the items disappeared into
the folds of it. He stood perfectly straight, adjusted
his clothes until they were perfect, and exited the
classroom. He laughed all the way down the hall, into
the bathroom, inside the bathroom (scaring half a
dozen people inside it), back into the hall, and
finally stopped at the assembly.
