Hey does this look good on me?"

Turning to face Ross, Lukas  scrutinised the outfit he was wearing. Digging through the closet, Lukas produced a sacramento coloured vest, handing it over, " Wear this instead. It matches your hair more than red."

Years of pretending to be the  princess along with the 'torture' of training by Kevin had left Lukas with enough knowledge of fashion to evaluate clothes. 

The boys in the school were filled with excitement as today was the day where the sister school was to arrive on campus. The boys as instructed by the teachers were to be on their best behaviour so as not to damage the school's reputation. Although the men really didn't care, after all it was going to be a first in a long time that girl were going to be on campus.

Finally after long preparation, everyone gathered in the green house. Standing in rows, dressed impeccably in their clothes.

"Say, where is prince Alexander?" whispered Zin into Sir Lin's ear.

"He reported to be unwell so he is taking his rest back in the dorms." replied Sir Lin as he scribbled something in his notebook. Mumbling something about cabbage...

"Oh I see..." said Zin as he looked back to his  students. Somewhere deeper within his heart, he hoped today would go without fail.

Lukas stood lined up, the girls had arrived not long after. Already he could see the drools and hearts coming out from the boys hearts.

'Seriously...'

"Michella Aftons"

A young woman, the definition of a meganekko, came forward. Her face was flushed red as Lukas took her hand, leading her to an empty table. 

Seating down, Lukas decided to break the ice. " So Michella, you look very pretty today..." The rest was inaudible as the two partners began to blush heavily.

"Uh..uh..thank you..mr Jeremy..you yourself look very handsome...." commented Michella as she tugged on her hair. 

It might have been a fail but it also wasn't. As the tea party soon came to an end, the two little partners agreed to meet in the night, excited to discuss about their favourite books.

"I can't believe it, a date?!" exclaimed Ross as he stared incredulous. Everyone had the same expression, like come on, they just met the girls and Lukas already had a date. He was about to complain more until pain struck him as Theo pulled his ear.

"OW OW! Theo!"

"Shut up. This is his business not ours." said Theo

Reius simply smiled before turning to look at Alexander. He was lying on the bed, his cheeks flushed red and a wet cloth over his forehead. It seemed he really was sick. Reius sighed internally, the words his friend spoke to him were hurtful but he couldn't help but also forgive him. 

Suddenly, soft fur bristled against his skin. Looking down, Chibi sat by his side, he'd nuzzled by his arm. Patting the head of his monkey gently, Reius knew he shouldn't get it in his head after all if any of his brothers saw his current self, he was sure he was going to get a good nagging.

"Well good luck." said Reius as he send off Lukas. The latter wearing a simple dress shirt and slacks. " Be careful" whispered Reius as he closed the door.

Lukas nodded his head before sneakily walking down the stairs. Careful not to let anyone notice him.  Finally he reached the rendezvous point, however he immediately noticed something odd. The strong smell of metal filled the air. 

Terror filled him as he quickly opened the door and his fears were true. Laying on the floor, hair and clothes stained in blood was Michella. Her eyes staring in shocked as blood dripped from an open wound in her heart and mouth. A bloodied candle stand lay on the side Running towards her, Lukas sat  her up with one hand, shaking her with the other. However, it was in vein as the last breath had been puffed out. 

From the corner of his eyes, Lukas caught sight of a figure but before he could chase after it a scream shook the castle and in a matter of seconds, everyone had arrived.

"Mr Rainsworth..." mumbled sir Lin in shock. The rest were all speechless.

"YOU MURDERER!" screamed a dame. Tears sprung from her eyes as she pointed a finger accusingly at Lukas.

"No! Its not what it looks like! I found her like this, I swear-" he was cut short as a group of ladies rushed forward, grabbing him by the arms, they dragged him out and into the hallways. Their strength unwavering as Lukas kicked and struggled.

"No! Please believe me!"

"Expel him!" demanded the headmistress of the girl's academy.

The men's expressions were uncertain. Noticing this, the headmistress gritted her teeth, " You all saw it. What more evidence do you need!" 

"Even if you say that, its hard to believe that Jeremy would commit such an act and I'm his teacher." said Rufus as he stared incredulous. There was definitely no way, one of his most beloved students would do such an act especially one that was an honours student.

A matron sneered at him, " Oh really well I have you know that people lie, simple."

'That was harsh' thought Nao. Of course like the others he didn't believe it one bit but..this was easy to get out with especially since it concerned someone from another school. He could only hope that Lukas would be alright.

Lukas sat by the wall, his eyes dull and blank. Looking down on his hands was blood. His wrists and leg had been shackled so there was no way to escape, although thinking about it, it was easier to die now than to be tortured right?

He was snapped out by his thoughts when he heard a familiar squeak from the other side of the  door. Using all his strength, Lukas shuffled towards the door. Peeping through the bars, he saw Chibi looking at him with innocent eyes. A small scroll of paper in hand.

Slapping the paper onto him, Lukas asked " Did they sent it?" Chibi nodded his little head. Unraveling the piece of paper, Lukas read its content . Tears soon began to sprung from his eyes.

"You guys....seriously..you're all really idiots huh." sniffed Lukas as he let the tears stain the paper. Chibi stared worriedly at him before pulling out a handkerchief out of who knows where, offering it to the crying lad.

"Thanks, geez your one smart monkey chibi." complimented Lukas as he tried to stop the tears.

Chibi simply winked before running off to return to his master.
