Also If you have noticed Ash's name when out has been changed to Rogue.Trickster was a lapse in judgement as I was talking to a friend hell even the original ive got written down is Rogue.So my bad.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do we need to talk about?"I ask her.
"Really?Thats how your going to go about this?"She replies in annoyance.
"Look its simple you keep to yourself I keep to mine.Simple."
"Maybe if it was just you and me,but-"She turns and sees that all eyes are on us and realizes what she almost did."Look just come with me."
"Class is about to start."I state.(not that I care)
"Since when do you care about class?Everyone knows you broke every teacher here and this is a school for the gifted."She looks confused.
"Since my mother called all of my teachers and said if I dont show up,am late,or disturb class to let her know."I deadpan.
"Scared of your mom?"she taunts.
"Look here is something you need to understand most guys are scared of their moms.Thats how it is.Why do you think we listen to them more often compared to girls?"
Before she could answer Mrs.Demi walked in."Ms Hill what are you doing here my class is about to start."She asks politely.
"Im sorry mam but I need to speak to Ash about some important matters."
"Oh student council?Well okay then."She said with a smile.
Inari,Alita,and I jaws dropped.Who the hell is this person!Alita was mumbling something about possession and Inari was telling me to kill the bitch.I just stared and let Cindy pull me away the whole time making sure not to move my eyes from Mrs.Demi.She still had the smile on her face!Where the hell am I!!
When we get out to the hall she motions me to follow her.She ends up taking me to the Student council room.We sit down.And she starts to talk but I interrupt her.
"What the hell was that!?"I ask.
What?
"Why was she so nice do you have mind powers!?"Im a little scared.
"Who Mrs.Demi?Shes always nice.She one of my favorite teachers."she smiles and gives me a weird look.
"Nice!?NICE!!!!That bitch is evil and vindictive.She takes every shot possible at me!"
"Im sure shes just making sure your doing your work.Its her job you know."
"Thats...*sigh*fine whatever I will check her for possession later."I mumble.
"What was that?"
Nothing.Anyway since you got me out of that bitches class Ill hear you out."
"She is not a bitch and ill appreciate you not calling her that!!!"She yells at me while her eyes flash with a familiar red energy.Her hands were glowing and smoke was coming up from the table.
"Ok ok calm down before you burn down the school."
She starts and looks down.Blushing she takes away her hand and apologizes while still clearly being upset.Note do not piss her off without preparation.
"Look just say what you have to say."
"*sigh*Ill make it simple join-"
"No."
"You didnt let me-"
"Nope."
"But if youd-"
"Not gonna happen."
"Look if you just li-"
"Niet."
"Really!?"
"Was hoping youd let me get a few more.Anyway I despise putting my ass on the line for others.Plus if someone is trying to kill youll be damn sure ill protect myself.No matter what happens to the opposite side."
"So what your just gonna be some Anti-Hero?"she asks.
"No im not gonna be anybody.So while I have the chance im going to enjoy my life.Hopefully I wont have to use my powers in the open again."I sit back lazily.
"So why did you help Chel Stevens or those teenagers being harassed by perverts or and this one is my favorite make that pimp who beat his hookers go to jail?"She raises an eyebrow.Inari and Alita raise their eyes at the last two.
I was speechless.I didnt know how to answer.The fact that she knew about Chel was one thing but those others.How the hell did she put them together?Plus I cant say that on one of those occasions I was talked into it by the invisible tiny,Angel and Kitsune,who are tied to my fucking soul.
"Well?"She taunts
I got nothing.
She gave a triumphant smile."I knew it you say all this crap about not giving a damn but when it comes down to it you do the right thing.(Im gonna vomit.)Though stealing all of their wallets isnt a good thing.I can see why you were given Rogue with how you handled those cases."
"With the perverts you bumped into them on passing then got in their faces and signaled to the girls to run.After you beat them within an inch of their life you stole all their cash."She points out first.
"With the pimp you snuck into his house found all the evidence possible to put him in jail.Then you went and bound him and let the girls beat him like he did them.Again you took all the money from his wallet.When the cops showed up to his house the safe was empty as well."
I"f I had to give you a name itd be The Nice Thief."
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
"Hey that money was the price they had to pay for making me work.Also that name is not that bad.Of course you can drop the nice part."I retort.
"So youd like to be called The Thief?"She says amused.
"Better than being named after a female comic book character."I snort.
"Almost every good name is taken both in stories and real life.The fact that the name isnt stupid is already a blessing."She states.
"Ok you are seriously gonna make me (and Inari)nauseous. "Alita was beaming and I can feel her urging me to accept through our bond.
"Why are you fighting this?With your powers youd make a great hero."She says.
"I dont know maybe its the hit to the back of the head by Photon,the "warning shots" from Tech,the shattered jaw from your dad,or maybe its the fucking fact that you almost killed me!"
She flinched back from my response." Im really sorry about that it was never my intention for it to end up that way we were trying to recruit you!"
"You guys have a really fucked up hiring process."
"Thats not the normal but with how you handled other cases plus the fact that you stole from those people as well we thought it best to talk to you on our terms."
"Howd that work out for ya?"
"Look would you at least think about it?"She sighs.
...............
"There I did answers the same.Your group isnt something im interested in ive got too much on my plate as it is right now so dont bother me about this again."After that I stood up and left my next class was in 20 minutes.Then Ive got work at the restaurant. She wants me to be a hero on top of that HA!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Work at moms restaurant has gotten to be surprisingly fun.Although I shall never admit it.Once I get myself outta working here as punishment I might come by once in a while.The chefs made fun of me and messed with me at first.Made me want to kick the shit out of them.But after they tasted my food they started showing respect and even started asking me for pointers.Kinda wish they kept mocking me.
Im at the point in my training where Inari wants to do combat training.I thought we already were but apparently that was an adorable response.I told her to fuck off.
"Alright heres the thing.Im done with your way of training it obviously isnt my thing.Im a crap fighter we all know this.For now im going to work on my lighting while im able to use it I havent exactly mastered it.The attitude changes are also starting to get more frequent so ive gotta get it under control fast."
"About that...."Inari says with a guilty look.
"What?"I say with a bit of worry.
"Well you kinda cant."
..........
"WHY!?"
"Most kitsune learn to master their emotions before they even attempt to access their elements.Which generally doesnt even happen until they are at least two hundred years old.They hand 2 lifetimes to prepare for the changes that come with the elements.You on the other hand are a 17 year old teenager who is dealing with the bullshit that accompanies one through ones highschool/college years.Your a cesspool of emotions.Not to mention you tapped into the power before you became a kitsune.So the wild arrogance,playfulness, reckless abandonment,explosive anger, and being far more confident are things that your going to have to get used to.When you move on to your next element those changes are going to happen as well.This isnt something you can fight.Each of your elements are part of your true nature."
"But I like who I am!I'm a lazy bastard who is terrified of his mother.I hate work,people,and doing things for others."I know its pathetic to admit this but I don't care!
"Ash when chose to save us you stepped on this path.Inari is right the elements are part of you now so you have to accept it."Alita says gently.
Hearing her I know shes right but I cant help but think who will I become.
Fine there's nothing I can do about it.Doesn't mean I have to like it though."Inari help me with channeling the lightning.If you help spread it throughout my body it should help me with my control."
"Are you sure the faster you get it under control the more your going to change?"She says.
That fact that she sounds worried send shivers down my spine.I just smile and nod.
We spent the next 3 hours before dinner cycling lighting through my body.I could feel it slowly but surely becoming more familiar to me like an extra limb.I try hard not to get intoxicated from the power but I cant help it.Its just so awesome.I wonder if this is what coke is like?
It seems I'm going to have to store lighting in my body slowly so I have a pool to pull from if necessary as conjuring up raw lighting takes way to much power.
Ash!Dinners almost ready hurry up and get down here!Also we have a guests tonight so be on your best behavior!
Yes mom!
We leave the training space and get ready for dinner.As I come down stairs I freeze because coming through my front door are a priest and a bastard.
