Mikoto Started Living As A Shrine Priestess Part 3

MIKOTO

I think I knew now why Kurama chose to transfer in Nanami's school...besides for the story plot, of course.

Based on my observation, this Ujigami High School has a lot of girls compared to boys population, Whether it is his decision or decision of the management where he works, I can only imagine it's for expanding his fandom.

Nanami still insisted that I should talk to the principal about my transferring to her school. I don't know if that's possible since I don't have any papers to back up my existence in this world. But since Nanami pleaded and I can't reason out to her, we headed straight to the faculty room. Nanami's advisory teacher immediately welcomed us.

"Momozono-san! I can't believe it's Momozono Nanami", he beamed in joy as he took Nanami's hand to shake hand. "I thought you would stop schooling after we heard news about your father and your house, hahaha!"

Nanami and I looked at each other like we're both thinking the same thing - "What's wrong with this teacher?"

He brought us to his table and offered us seats. "And this one besides you is uhh..." he looked first at his sticky note, "Hoshino Mikoto, right?"

"(・・;) Yes, sensei(15)", I confirmed, wondering what's the deal.

"Your godfather already sent us your papers and enrolled you here and I'll be your class adviser. He forgot to give us your address and he didn't leave any contact details so we failed to send you your uniform ahead of time", he told me before facing Nanami. "And I can't believe this lucky girl here is adopted by a wealthy family." Nanami and I both flabbergasted. Things seem to get out of hand.

"Plus, guess what?" The teacher returned his attention to me. "Oh, of course, I know you already knew this, hahaha! Since it's your godfather who told me that you're serving this family. I still just can't believe that she's also the new heiress! Oh, maybe that explains your unique hair dress today, Momozono-san."

I feel like I can faint from everything I've heard and so did Nanami. After we stepped outside the faculty room, we both sighed deeply.

"Okay, that's a bit uhh... anticlimatic....?" I said and we both laughed.

"But it's all right. All's well that ends well", Nanami smiled with a little clap. "We even became classmates though that means your godfather made you push back your year level. Is that even possible?"

" (￣ω￣;) Well, I think he did made it possible. Anyways, let's go to our class", I chuckled and thanking that Nanami forgot to ask where does that heavy background story came from because if she did, I'll not be able to hide from them anymore about my connection to Mikage-sama.

Class 2-2 is where we headed next, our homeroom. Standing outside the door, we can hear that everyone was so excited about something but they started when I slid open the door and Nanami entered the room ahead of me.

"GYAHAHAHAH!" The Isobe-guy I recognized from the anime is the first one to greet us...with his stupid laughs.

"What's with your head, poverty-sa-wha!", his sentence was cut midway when I stood between him and Nanami and gave him a cold death glare but graceful and elegant enough to avoid scaring the others. I am not given the nickname 'princess' by my real classmates just for naught.

"Oh, who is this funny guy over here, my lady Nanami? A friend of yours?" I sarcastically smiled sweetly. The guy took a few steps backward while wearing a face that says he was intimidated so well. My kimono gave more intimidating points!

Or so I thought - he quickly came back to his feet in an instant. Gross.

"Yes, and my name is Iso-,"

"Not a chance (￣_￣) ", Nanami flatly denied, answering my question earlier.

"Hey, don't be like that? Introduce me to that hot cutie", he approached Nanami as if they're on friendly terms. Totally gross.

"And why am I in the same class with you again, Isobe?" She uttered depressingly.

Completely ignoring the unimportant idiot behind, I turned my head to some female classmates and asked them, "Excuse us, will you kindly show us a vacant seat for my lady?" I noticed Nanami's eyebrows twitched and felt awkward but it can't be helped. "Just let me keep playing properly the part of a good personal assistant or something", I quickly whispered in her ears.

They looked at each other for a moment and pointed at a seat which Nanami completely occupied. "Stupid Tomoe! Because of him, even when Mikoto tries to help, I still stand out like a sore thumb", I can hear her mumbling.

I gasped at the sight when I realized that she's sitting at the very wrong seat. "Nanami, I think that seat belongs to someone else, let's move to another chair", I said.

"Do you think the rumors are true? Everyone knew that Kurama is in our class, so I think she wears that headdress to attract his attention" The girls didn't mind letting me hear their whisperings, but I don't have time to refute their accusations about Nanami.

White fogs started to enter the classroom. I hate how he just uses his wings and spiritual powers for something useless as this.

Urg, it already starting, I'm late.

I tugged Nanami to stand up, "we need to change the seat." I seriously told her but she just stood there stunned and not listening to me at all!!!

"Th-The fallen angel of darkness", she blushes in awe at Kurama who had just entered the room.

"Now, come on, Nanami!" I was about to pull her away when I felt someone standing behind me,

"Hey, you..", a deep cold voice of a young man echoed behind me. I immediately turned around and his deep icy eyes met mine. My body automatically dodge him and moves itself to the side before Kurama slammed his foot on the table where Nanami seated.

"....hood girl, this is my seat. Move it." My heart also thumped painfully in shock and hugged Nanami.

"(＞ｍ＜) Nanami..," I whimpered. It scared me.

I heard the girls started their murmurings again.

"Who's that girl again?"

"Who's she?"

"Ah, I think I know her!"

"Oh, the one they're calling Poverty-san from last semester."

"You know, the one with the hard-knock life.

"The dirt-poor girl"

"Momozono Nanami"

I felt like the time just stopped for me. Everyone is giggling and looking at our direction with ridicule at their eyes. I knew how it feels to be made fun of behind my back, but being mocked head on with my own eyes is something different....and Nanami endured it all along.

Then everything after that happened in an instant. Nanami put her hands on my shoulders and gently shove me to the side and quickly ran outside the classroom.

"Na-Nanami?!", I tried to call her back but failed. I held tightly my fists and stopped myself from slapping or hitting this guy who is now sitting beside me.

"Y-you!" I gritted my teeth so hard. "You're one of a lady's enemy" is all I managed to say.

I had a quick glimpse of Tomoe sitting on the branch of the nearest tree before I started to follow Nanami and it was obvious that he's happy that I failed to protect her.

It took me more minutes than supposedly to find the restroom where Nanami is since I'm just new in this place.

"There's no need for you to stay here anymore, right?" I heard Tomoe talking to Nanami when I was about to enter. Oh obviously, he can always found her easily ahead of me. "Do not force yourself". He continued trying his best to sound caring, though I can imagine him smiling right now.

When I think back from earlier, the idiot felt like he just won. I feel sorry for Nanami.

"Is Nanami still sobbing at the restroom? How cute", Kurama spoke while I was contemplating in my thoughts, not noticing when he came here.

Without looking at him, I coldly asked him "Do you need something from me?", 'coz from what I completely remember, it is Nanami whom he has business with.

"Don't treat me so coldly like that, I just wanted to apologize to her".

*sparkle* *ignore * ( ⌒▽⌒)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ (;￢_￢) ↑ ↑ Kurama Mikoto

"Come on, look, the people at school keep staring at me every day and I just ended up taking it out on her. So you two can relax, I don't have to worry that maybe I hate you or something"

I mentally face-slapped, "Another airhead brat..."

Nanami's voice came from the opening door of the ladies room. "I-I'm not crying!" she refuted but when she completely went out of the ladies room, red puffy eyes are still visible on her face. So I can conclude that she pretty hears what Kurama wants to tell her.

"Are you all right, Nanami?" Is all I can ask her because I knew everything that happened and other things that will still happen in the later but I still couldn't do anything to help her.

She nods, "I'm fine now, don't worry Mikoto. I'm sorry from earlier", and then she smiled brightly again just like how he always does. We hugged and I shook my head. "Don't mind it. It didn't bother me at all."

Nanami then looked at Kurama, who I already almost forgot. "I can't blame you for taking things out on me, because, I am also one of those people staring at you too. And, I won't be glancing at you anymore, so goodbye!" Nanami stormed away from him angrily. "Mikoto, let's go. The class will start soon."

"Serves you right!" I quickly told him before I took a step to follow Nanami back to the classroom, Kurama stopped me.

"Hold on!" he said and he quickly grabbed my hand and pulled me back to him.

"Ah!" I was caught off guard. My onyx eyes were welcomed by his ash-colored orbs that are staring at me. He then smiled like I just gave him a satisfying reaction. "At last, you finally looked at me".

My heart beat faster like crazy. Who wouldn't? He just gave me CREEPS!!! And I can feel my hair strands standing up in horror!

*headbutt* (💢>皿<) ⌒☆ (>。<) "STAY AWAY "OUCH!" FROM ME!!!" ↑ ↑ Mikoto Kurama

The second I felt his grip on my wrist loosen, I quickly pulled my hand back and ran as fast as I could back to the classroom.

Urg, I didn't know he's that annoying in real life. This Pop star is such a pain!

I never felt such thing before, It feels like I had just lost a few years from my life.
