When the shiznit hit the fan(Plot/Shuya Please)

[Victoria Alexander]

It seemed like a pleasant day. Not as chilly as home but Victoria was getting used to the warmer weather. Holding a cup of hot tea she walked into the entrance of the school. She kept her eyes on the front page of the newspaper as she walked through the hallways. Reading the everyday news that she hardly paid any heed to. It was a good month, nothing noteworthy about the school in the black ink. Except for the football scores of course.

Victoria took her eyes off of her newspaper as she was greeted by some of the students. She nodded in return, giving them a smile before turning into the office area.

“Good Morning, Anything I should be aware of?”

She looked at her secretary who bustled out of her seat. The older lady was very good at her job and Victoria was pleased with the outcome so far this year.

“You have a meeting with the few teachers about you know what in about 10 minutes in the teachers lounge. I have a few messages as well that can be returned at your convenience.”

She thanked her secretary as she handed her the newspaper and turned to make her way towards the teachers lounge.

Running her hand through her hair, she then straitened her shirt with a tug and swiped her hand over her slacks to make sure she was presentable as she opened the door. She looked around the room at the few selected teachers that volunteered to help.

“Sorry to have pulled you away from your classes but this would only take a few minutes.”

She paused as she put her cup of tea down.

“As you are all well aware it is very rare that we can pull together to make things a little more enjoyable for the kids. With the problem with religion conflicts and parents going astray with how things are supposed to be. It leaves the kids without anything to look forward to. Specially when Parents get offended about a silly holiday.”

She shook her head, leaning against a table that held a coffee pot and some breakfast donuts.

“I feel that it’s a shame to waste good, enjoyable holidays just because someone gets offended about Halloween. I love the holiday. It happens to be my favorite out of the whole year. So this year Im going to surprise the students with a party. Now we can’t call it Halloween. I’ll have parents writing and calling with complaints. Thou it would be nice if things could be so simple no a days. Now do you have any ideas on what to call it.?”

She looked around at the set of teachers that she had confided in with this project. They seemed to look at each other with the same expression. Halloween should be called Halloween not by any other name.

“What about The Harvest Festival?”

One Teacher threw out there. Victoria thought about it and could not think of anything else. Course it was probably used every year to please the religious crowd but it was something no one could argue over.

“Very well. The Harvest Festival it is then. Now about the finer details that need to be done.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It seemed as if the 15 minutes had past in a flash as she thanked the teachers as they left the lounge. Reaching for her tea which now was a bit cold she look disappointed at it.

“Excuse me, Principle Alexander?”

She turned her attention to see the petite English teacher addressing her. She smiled in return.

“Yes Mrs. Marlin?”

Victoria liked the English Teacher. She reminded her a lot of an old teacher back in Varron that used to tutor her as she played catch up.

“It’s a shame about Kyukaku, but did you feel that it was necessary, he was such a good student and was doing so well in my class?”

Victoria made a questionable face unsure what the teacher was talking about. Necessary to do what? She had done nothing with him, nothing that would give her the impression that he was not supposed to be in her class.

“I’m sorry Mrs. Marlin I don’t know what your talking about?”

The teacher returned the questionable look.

“But didn’t you transfer him? He wasn’t in class yesterday and when I asked about him. I found that he had been transferred.”

Victoria’s eyes widened and when she spoke it was unnecessarily loud and it seemed to startle the teacher.

“What?!”

The teacher took a step back. She feared she had done something wrong as Victoria put her hands up to calm the teacher as well as herself. How could he be transferred she had done no such authorization. Surely they would need her permission before shipping the Captain of all people to another school.

“I’m sorry if I had shocked you with my response? I was not aware that he was transferred. Do you know where?”

Her voice sounded nervous. This is just not what she needed. The student in charge of protecting other students is not anywhere within the school. No doubt that would bring trouble with others trying to proclaim that title on their own. Things where going so well. She had plans for him, and this... this of all things happens. But then it dawned on her.

Victoria’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the door.

“Shuya” she said distastefully and more to herself as she tried to confine her anger without showing the teacher. Her polite words were forced as she tried to remain calm enough not to startle the teacher anymore than she had. No doubt the teachers would be talking about this over the lunch break.

“Thank you Mrs. Marlin for bringing this to my attention. By the end of today I have no doubt that Kyukaku will be right back where he belongs in the school and in your classroom. Now if you will excuse me I have something I must take care of.”

She had all forgot about her tea as she made her way towards the office. Victoria straitened up and looked at both secretaries with her hand on the door knob. She looked at both of them with her eyes narrowed and her jaw tightened in disappointment.

“Whatever you hear within the confines of this office will be ignored. I will be dealing with the both of you when I am done.”

Opening the door she went in.

*Slam*

The sound of the door slamming behind her made the frames shake for a second on the walls. Victoria was in no doubt furious with what she has heard. Her eyes flashed with anger as she looked towards her cohort’s desk. He sat there as if nothing was wrong. As if he did not know the reason for her anger. Mr. Innocent Shuya Katsumoto.

She went to her desk hitting the button on her intercom.

“Bring me Student File, Tyler D. Scott, Now!”

She then with both fists tightly clenched looked at Shuya. She could feel her nails digging into her skin.

“So when were you planning on telling me that you transferred ‘OUR’ student to Paragon. Not your student, OUR student without my authorization.”

She heard the door knob click open and Shuya’s slut of a secretary walk in. She started to go to Shuya’s desk but Victoria stepped from behind her desk and snatched the file folder from her hands. She then pointed briskly to the door.

“Out Now!”

Opening the folder as she moved to her desk, Victoria flipped through the pages. Suddenly she dropped the folder only holding a singular paper in her hands. She looked at it astonished as she looked at her own signature on the bottom of the page. She would have never signed this paper. She always read over any documentation carefully.

“How dare you! How dare you forge my signature on this filth. This lie! But that is what you do. You sneak around and do as you please thinking you wont be caught. You have been caught Shuya Katsumoto! You have been caught with red on your hands and I won’t stand for this lie! How could you think you would get away with this tell me!”

She demanded!

[Shuya Katsumoto]

OOC: Don’t expect a post half as long as yours, since I’ll probably just be in my office so I can only respond to whatever you said after the ‘slam’

IC:
Shuya looked up from his desk, uninterested about the way that Victoria just barged into their office. It was clear from the look on her face that she had found out about her little pet captain that had been transferred to another school. Shuya allowed the woman to call one of their assistances to bring in the file of Tyler. When she spoke to him, he looked at her with his casual look, his mouth not curling into any form of a smile, it just showed pure nothingness.

“Without your authorization? Perhaps you’ve been under influence or something, but you definitely signed those documents, Alexander.”

As Claire entered the room with the documents, Victoria aggressively moved forward and snatched the files from Claire and shouted at her to leave their office. With a bold look on her face, Claire looked back at Victoria, before changing from Victoria to Shuya. With a small waver of his hand, almost indicating pure boredom, Shuya wavered her away. She gave him a small nod before walking out of the office again. On her way out, Shuya was staring at her rather than Victoria. His left elbow rested on his desk, pointing his arm up, his left hand opened on his chin and mouth, making him appear even more bored by this little fiasco.

Unimpressed by what Victoria suddenly shouted at him, Shuya didn’t flinch one bit. He simply raised his head up from his hand and leaned back in his chair.

“You talk of forgery, you talk of lies… but all you’re doing is accusing me of a crime I have not committed. Or do you have any prove? No. Fact is, you signed those papers Alexander and as much as it pains me, so have I. So the student by the name of Scott has already been transferred. To Paragon Institute, in case you’re not going to write the fine print again…”

He smirked slightly as he awaited more accusations from Victoria. There was no proof of him doing this. There was nothing that lead to him. Even if his secretary would talk, something she would never do, they had nothing on him. It just proved that he had taken the piece of paper to his own house, perhaps to read it through at home. At that time Victoria’s signature might’ve already been on the document. Was Victoria crazy to think that he would actually be caught for this? There was no proof, Shuya was professional enough to have that ensured. All that could follow now was the procedure for Victoria to reverse the effect of this document.

“Besides, aren’t you supposed to be having a discussion about some festival over here? Don’t tell me it’s a thing I need to sign as well…”

[Victoria Alexander]

Victoria grunted in anger. The nerve of him. She should have expected as much. Deny it and think your going to get away, he’s worse than a child.

“Your not as slick as you may think yourself to be Katsumoto. One day you will be seen for who you really are. Which I might add is nothing but a lying, conniving slime ball who cares nothing for this school!”

She put her fists on her desk leaning on them narrowing her eyes once again on the denying Co- Principle.

“So, what were you planning? Hmm, getting rid of Kyukaku to cause chaos in the school? To make a game out of these students to fit your twisted enjoyment. This will not become a war Shuya I will not have it become a war! Your secret meetings in the band room wont be tolerated. I’ve seen the security camera’s. Trying to sneak around, at least when I sneak around its for the benefit and enjoyment of the students. To throw a party for them to look forward to and THAT is something that doesn’t need your signature. Not when teachers volunteer and the funds come out of my own pocket!”

She lifted up from the desk and crossed her arms.

“But why should you care. Whatever your hoping to get out of being in this position you will not hurt these students for it. I won’t stand here and let you hurt these students. And before you get so comfortable in your chair I'm going to have him back in this school by the end of the week, or better yet. By the end of the day.”

[Shuya Katsumoto]

Shuya looked the least impressed as Victoria grunted at him, but when she started to challenge him even further by calling him a slime ball that cared nothing about this school he shot up from his chair into his full height, his eyes shooting fire. His smirk was nowhere to be found as he slowly dropped his hands on the desk in front of him and lowered his stance again, moving his face closer to Victoria’s.

“Choose your next words carefully, Alexander…” he whispered. It was more an advice than a direct threat, but from the minute Alexander had barged into their office her attitude towards him had only irritated him. He had expected her to overreact on the subject, but Kyukaku was a single student, who happened to be captain. Why was she so obsessed with him being here? However, after saying what he had said he allowed Victoria to do her little speech and speculation. His smirk reappeared as she mentioned monitoring him on the cameras. When she was finally finished, he took a deep breath before responding.

“It seems your own stubbornness and hatred towards me has blinded you for anything that you do not wish to know about. It’s fun by the way to learn why you installed those cameras, is it to monitor me? I cannot remember signing a paper that allowed cameras to follow me, all I did was allow cameras for the safety of our students. If you abuse them I’ll make sure they’ll disappear immediately as well. And no, I do not wish chaos in this school, although there already is enough chaos without your or my involvement. I required Kyukaku to do something for the good of this school, that would avoid a lot of unnecessary bloodshed. However, he refused and I turned to our right to transfer students. He can do more good from Paragon than from Hircine. The fact that he is a stubborn cocky motherf*cker doesn’t mean he is right.”

He sighed slightly as he turned his face away from Victoria and stared out there office window onto the courtyard. A small brawl between two students was taking place there and Shuya recognized one to be a follower of Kyukaku. Staring at the students outside, he continued to speak.

“Whether you like it or not Alexander, a war is brewing… and there’s nothing you and I can do to avoid it. Those students from Paragon are after only one thing, fight as much as possible. And once they’re done fighting each other and have started to organize, Hircine will be their next target. And then miss Alexander, you have a bigger problem at hand. Now, I do not involve myself too much in the cheerful matters you so desperately put forward. I think that though parties and events can get their focus of fighting, I think it will only make them more vulnerable when the time comes. I’ve been working on getting as much ready for what is to inevitably come. If you think my actions are meant to harm Hircine, you are sadly mistaken. I just tend to take care of this school in my own way…”

[Victoria Alexander]

“I don’t hate, I am only disappointed that you could be so deceiving without any trust towards me. You of all people should know where I stand and that is for the well-being of this school. Your way or my way it doesn’t matter in the end, what matters is what we can do together and be co-operative.”

She did not follow his eyes but kept her view on him. How could they run a school together if they could not trust each other. It was bad enough his suspicious actions were addressed to her. Not by the video cameras but by the teachers themselves. There was more eyes then there was cameras and gossip was always know to be at the water cooler.

Her tone was still aggressive, she could not help the urge to still holler but she tried her best to restrain herself.

“If you plan to help as you said you are then you better get your act strait. I will not let you frolic around this school and make decisions that can no doubt hurt it. You went to Kyukaku without me, and you went behind my back. Im not surprised he would reject you.”

She moved and sat in her chair still facing Shuya.

“Your background and involvement with Kyukaku leads you to be irrational with your decision. You may think that you need him to become an inside guy but you have just put his life on the line selfishly. You of all people know what kind of bulls eye will be placed on his back specially with the background between him and Principle Davis. I am well aware of his background as it is my job to know.”

She gripped her armrest tightly.

“Students left to do whatever they please is a recipe for murder. There is no compassion and they would no sooner than strip him and place him on a pole to ridicule this school. I will not have that happen. He is a symbol of strength to our students whether you like it or not. He may be stubborn and full of himself but the fact remains that when put into a den of lions even the strongest can be out numbered. And if your too hardheaded to realize that then you need a reality check. We need to stay together and plan things more throughly or we will be on the short end of the stick.”

[Shuya Katsumoto]

“It makes no difference, Alexander. I may trust you with my plans, but that doesn’t mean I trust in your judgment of the matters I take care off. I think that’s exactly what makes this work… I am good at what I do and you are good at what you do… we cover up all angels…”

Now leaning against his desk, he waited patiently for Victoria to say what was on her mind. Shuya’s eyes had turned back to Victoria and looked at her now without too much emotions. It was clear she was not going to change her view on things, even though war was inevitable.

“You know nothing of what’s going on between me and Scott, Alexander, so don’t pretend you do. I went behind your back? Since when is it a crime to have a conversation with a student alone? And besides, his reject was simply a message he wanted to send to me… a message that couldn’t have come on a worse time. He forced me to alter my plan, but the result will be the same.”

He now sat on the desk and slammed his feet against the sides softly as he looked towards the door, waiting for what else Victoria had to say. He slowly shook his head as she spoke about how she was fully aware of the matter. Fact was, she couldn’t be. The police reports hadn’t been altered, the prison report hadn’t taken Shuya’s real name and the involvement of the general was out of the question fully. All that she could’ve looked up was Davis’ history. Which didn’t include that much facts either.

“I’m afraid the business between Scott and me is difficult, but not one I’d like to discuss. And you mistake if you think it’s my intention to use him as bait. However, I will not deny that it will lead to an unfortunate meeting between the principal and Scott. However, we both know Davis can’t do shit to Scott… Don’t worry, I got those things covered. And besides, Scott isn’t the only student I have placed within the Paragon institute, it’s shocking how you worry about him so much and at the same time haven’t even realized the latter.”

Continuing:

“Scott can take care of himself. He has shown that a great many times and when he plays it smart, the students there won’t even realize he was Hircine material. I am certain he’ll try and stay low. It depends on how Davis will react to all this…” ‘Which will be Davis’ downfall…’ “As for symbolic strength, you strike me with your blindness once more… things have been stirring in Hircine… new students have arrived who don’t take kindly to being ruled by Scott. They have already been planning about taking over the captain’s title in a way… a way that not even the Paragon students would lower themselves to. It’s been my opinion that Kyukaku would be at more risk here than there at the moment…”

The mentioning of Tyler’s nickname for the first time since their discussion had came up brought Shuya back to a standing position, shaking his head once more. It had reminded him to monitor the students he had found out about more closely now. Walking to his chair, he took a seat as well and started his laptop. He had a lot of work to do. He suddenly noticed the transfer paper that lied next to his laptop. One Victoria was bound to sign. He signed it and threw it on Victoria's desk.

"I know you want to get Scott back and you know I'm not going to assist in doing that. Apart from that, we both know it would take some time to get him back. However, this student might be exactly what Scott needs. We need him transferred there, to assist Scott. As I said, there are some others there already, but this student doesn't stand out and is a good fighter. I already spoke to him and he'll give his life defending Scott... well, figuratively speaking. This Kinneas kid should be there..."

[Victoria Alexander]

((Ooc: You changed it on me lol I copied this before I went to work so I could work on it and you changed it. -edits post-))

Taking the folder she glanced through the lettering, looking at the picture and in the back of her mind hoping that this kid was the real deal and not Shuya playing another one of his games. Letting her judgment get the better of her she would let his student transfer as well. But if she hears anything, even a whisper that things are going sour, she was going to personally march over to that school and grab those two by the collar and drag them back to Hircine. She already had plans on getting Kyukaku back but what Shuya said was true...It would take time.

Signing the documentation she tossed the pen away from her. Closing the folder with one last glance at the students picture.

“Have it your way, but if I find that you used my name or my signature for anything at all and I stress the anything, I will do things your way and tear you a new one. Take it as a threat if you see fit but know that I won’t let you stand and abuse my position from under me.”

The anger still swept through her, god did she wish to throw something, anything. She couldn’t just sit and do work as he was doing. She needed something to get her away from him at least for the day. Opening a drawer to her desk rather harshly she grabbed her phone and slammed the drawer shut.

“I'm sure I'm wasting my breath but if you need me, page me.”

Rising from her chair she walked around her desk and walked brusquely to the door only to open it and slam it shut behind her. Not caring if he would need her for anything. He would clearly have to wait until she came back, if she came back to her office for the rest of the day. Stopping short at the two desks of the secretaries. She looked at one then the other, not giving them any benifit of the doubt. Even though she may dislikes Shuya's choice of taste she was not going to treat one any different than the other. She was sure that they did not know what had occurred when Shuya had forged her signiture.

“From now on, all paperwork will be looked over by both Principles in person and any transfer documentation must be signed with a witness from now on. I don’t want any complaints and no excuses or you both will be finding another job.”

Giving one last look at the door to her office she turned and walked away. The thought of taking out her frustrations would be more suited in the gym. Maybe the Gym teacher wouldn’t mind if she would run around the track a few times. Something, anything to keep her from walking back in there and doing anything that might jeopardize her job.
