Chapter 29

Words: 1032

"Rrrgh! I hate that little ginger megalomaniac! Does he think HE's the Queen of Hearts?" Ace complained loudly as you were trying to sneak out the dorm after getting some of their stuff.

You were for some reason all standing in the middle of the rose maze (Deuce got you all lost when trying to sneak you all back out.) You could've just ran out without anyone noticing, but then you'd kind of leave them behind.

"Banished by the Housewarden from my own dorm... My dream of becoming an honor student is slipping further and further away.." Deuce huffed.

"Stupid collar! It's so tight! Grrr..." You looked at Grim who was tugging at his collar. You would blow it off for him aswell, but that could cause him getting injured by the elemental energy.

You were planning on approaching Riddle about it later tho, he wasn't allowed to collar your students.

You wanted to have a neutral talk with him about him collaring one of the students from your house without any necessary drama.

Unless he's going to be a bitch about it. Then you would get angry.

"You're really racking up those collars. Quite the impressive collection." You were cut out of your thoughts when a head suddenly appeared between Ace and Deuce.

The head had fluffy purple hair with lighter purple streaks, and soft cat ears which contained three earrings on the left, and one on the right. He had bright yellow eyes, and a dopey grin on his face.

"BWAH?!" Deuce fell over and landed on his butt, while Ace stumbled into Yuu and Grim jumped up into your arms out of fear.

"Myah! A ghost head!" The energetic cat in your arms screamed out while pointing his paw at the floating head.

"Oh dear. It seems I'm not all here." The head rhymed, before the rest of his slim body appeared aswell.

He had a dark purple and light purple striped shirt, with a white cardigan hanging over it. He held up a sloppy peace sign with his right hand, while waving at you all with his left.

Deuce scrambled to get back onto his feet, then turned to talk to the boy with his eyes still wide. "What? Er, so you do have a body, then? Who are you?"

"The name's Artemiy Artemiyevich Pinker. Am I a cat? Am I a purrrson? A mimsy borogove, perhaps? A mome rather with a knack for magic?" He smiled, his small fangs popping out a little.

"Uh, look, Ar... Arte... Run the name by me again?" Ace's jaw was hanging on the floor from just hearing this beastman's name.

"It's nice to meet you Artemiy. I'm Y/n" You nodded your head at him, with a slight smile aswell.

"God, how do you always manage to get people's names first try Y/n. You're just bragging at this point." Ace grumbled.

He was just being petty because he was angry at Riddle, so you didn't pay it any mind.

A cheeky grin appeared on his face at your response. "Heh heh. Nice to meet you aswell Y/n! But people usually call me just Chenya, so don't worry!"

"All right. Whatever you say, Chenya."  You nodded your head once again at him.

He smiled, and then turned back to Ace. "Let's just say I'm not from the other side of the looking glass."

"Yet another weirdo..." Yuu groaned under his breath, though it didn't go unnoticed.

You shut him a glare, while Chenya just chuckled. "You think so? I'd say by the standards here, I'm no more mad than anyone else.

Ace just groaned loudly. "After the insanity that tyrant put me through, I'm not in the mood for whatever this is. Just leave me alone."

This made the purple cat snicker into his hands. "Riddle the teapot tyrant... Heh heh. Well, I can't dismiss that perspective as wrong. He's always been quite strict.

Deuce tilted his head to the side at his words. "Do you know something about him?"

"Perhaps there are things that I know, and perhaps there are things that I don't." He continued to laugh to himself.

"That's not an answer!" Grim sighed while slumping over your shoulders.

The cat finally stopped his chuckling. "Is there something you wish to know about Riddle?"

"Yeah, what created such a control freak?" Ace had his sharp gaze set on Chenya as he crossed his arms.

"I believe his fore-eyed friend may have the answer." Chenya pointed over his shoulder into the direction of the main building of the dorm.

"Four-eyed friend? You mean Trey?" Deuce seemed to get the joke.

Chenya nodded with unneeded aggression. "He's know Riddle since we were all little boys. If you want to know more about Riddle, I would begin my quest there."

Deuce was surprised by his statement. "They're childhood friends? I didn't really get that impression..." He held his hand by his chin in thought.

"If you're so perceptive, then what are you asking me for? Buh-bye! Bye to you too N/n-nya!" He waved at you all.

"Oh, bye Chenya." You waved back, and smiled slightly at the nickname.

The purple themed cat hummed and his body slowly disappeared. His head remained, before said limb finished aswell.

Grim was side-eyeing the spot where the beastman had just disappeared from with slightly wide eyes. "I tell ya, no one makes any sense around here."

Deuce sighed and shrugged his shoulders. "Well, we're not going to be able to do much in the way of schoolwork with these collars on. So let's go see what Trey has to say, and then..."

Ace cut him off by frantically flailing his arms around. "If you're gonna say "apologize to Riddle," you can forget it!" He sneered at the navy blue haired boy.

"Maybe we should set up a little ambush..." Yuu hummed with a hand at his chin.

Grim quickly mimicked Yuu's position to try and look smart.

You slowly pulled his paw down for him to not emberass himself.

The creature grumbled, but snuggled into your hand anyways.

You turned to Yuu after his last comment. "I'm listening."

A/n: Uhm.. Hi! Sorry for not posting recently. My dad has been busy at his restaurant, so I have been the one taking care of cooking for me and my brother, and cleaning some stuff around the house. Together with school thus just gets tiring so that's why I haven't been posting. Sorry again! Hope I'll be able to get back on everyday updates soon!
