;a morningday http://www.typemoon.us/audio/download/1597/02%20-%20In%20the%20Sunlight.mp3
;a morningday loop
I wake up to the sound of the vengeful alarm clock continuing it's merciless onslaught right until the moment I lash out in defiance.;b
"Mou...!;b ;convulse Shut up!!" ;b
With a swift retribution of a karate chop;b I defeat the annoyance in one blow.
;bThe enemy spills its guts and 2 batteries flies out of its back.;b
The time is half past 6.
;p
Doing simple maths that should give me about 20 minutes to wash up and 10 minutes or less to spare before making my way to school.
;bSo without further ado I drag my feet out the door and make my way towards the bathroom.
http://typemoon.us/sites/typemoon.us/files/images/bath.jpg
Thankfully the bathroom is vacant when I hop inside.;b The mirror blurs out my image thanks to all the steam inside. ;b
I live in a traditional Japanese home big enough to house a few dozen Shinsengumi if it was used as a movie set. ;b Currently there are only two residents living here, me and my father's sister Aunt Haruka. ;b
;p
Judging by the evidence left behind Haru-Nee beat me to the shower. ;bMy head is still spinning and I feel like my arms and legs are starting to freeze off. ;bDid I tell you? ;bI have a low blood pressure in the morning. ;b
"Mmmm so warm....";b
I stand in the middle of the spray of warmth, ;bwashing away the morning chill invading my body. ;bNaturally because I'm short and have a slim physique I seem to absorb the cold air faster than my peers who ;beasily surpass my height by a head...
;p
Standing half dazed and enjoying the warmth provided by the shower, it takes awhile before I realize.
;b"Sh-shit I'm gonna be late!"
I set a record time in finishing my minutes of peace in the shower and dry myself with a towel. ;bAs much as I don't really pay attention to my outward appearance ;bthere's a difference between looking shit and looking decent enough though not epic. ;b
I don't know about other people but I'd prefer looking less shit and choose to be the latter and so I hop out naked and run through the hallway towards my room.

It's a big house and it's easy to get lost if you haven't been living here for a long time. ;bWith a towel over my head and pajamas trailing on the floor as I drag them along ;bI bump into Haru-Nee at my full speed. ;b

"Ayaka! ;convulse ;bAren't you brave going commando style so early in the morning?";b
In comparison to my nakedness, ;bHaru-Nee is fully clothed in her work clothes ready for her day at work.
;p

Despite being 10 years older than me Haru-Nee feels more like a close friend than an aunty. ;bBesides... ;bShe's rather sensitive about her age which to this day I've yet to understand how old she really is. ;b
"You should really be more reserved and walk around the house with your clothes on."
;b"Ah yeah, I'm just in a bit of a hurry. ;bFujimura Sensei told us the last one in her classroom will need to treat the class to a round of parfaits. ;bI'd take some money from the donation box at our shrine but I'm not too keen to steal from the donation box ;bnor am I going to be late if I hurry."
;bNot that theres anything in the donation box to begin with.
;p

;b"I don't mind it Ayaka but remember that there are perverts everywhere. ;bYou can't be too cautious around your own neighborhood y'know?"
;p

"I don't mind it Ayaka but remember that there are perverts everywhere. You can't be too cautious around your own neighborhood y'know?"
;b"Ah hey hey! ;bY'know I heard from my employees that old men are biggest perverts out there. ;bApparently they buy high school girl panties and they cut them up with scissors and eat them."
;b"Ugh! ;convulse ;bMove it Haru-Nee I'm in a hurry!"
;bI push Haru-Nee aside and make way to my room.
http://typemoon.us/sites/typemoon.us/files/images/bedroom%20(3).jpg
;bOn my bed I see that Haru-Nee has picked out my uniform and packed my lunch for me. ;bI don't really want to think about the consequences that will follow if I'm the last one in class.
;bHmm... Maybe I ought to spend more time and effort in styling my hair. ;bUltimately I dismiss the thought since whats the use?
;bAfter combing my hair I put on my uniform and rush out.

"Ah hey Ayak...";b
I quickly grab the toast Haru-Nee was nibbling on and dash out the door.

I quickly grab the toast Haru-Nee was nibbling on and dash out the door.
"Gyah! ;bAyaka you bitch! ;bThat's mine!"
http://typemoon.us/sites/typemoon.us/files/images/foyer%20(2).jpg
With a sweet toast hanging loosely between my teeth I exit the doors. ;bI can hear Haru-Nee's protests behind me but she makes no attempt to catch me as I am...

With a sweet toast hanging loosely between my teeth I exit the doors. I can hear Haru-Nee's protests behind me but she makes no attempt to catch me as I am... like a black bullet storming out the door faster than the speed of Haru-Nee's protests.
;bWhen I look back I can see Haru-Nee holding a versatile weapon in her hands. ;bMelee weapons are only useful as long as the target is within range and it was made clear that I surpassed her in pure agility.
;bHowever that doesn't stop me from worrying about the attack thrown at me by former Japan's number 1 of the Under 21's Woman's Javelin thrower ;bback in her era.
;bIf King Leonidas was reincarnated, ;bit wouldn't surprise me if the person I called Aunt was actually the former king of Sparta. ;bJust dumb and childish.
;p
;bHurled with all her strength applied to the broom aimed with her hawk like eyes, it flies! ;bMy eyes cannot afford to stay off focus from the deadly projectile aimed at my forehead.
;bA perfect head shot! ;convulse ;bor it would have been had I not dodged the onslaught of her wrath filled broom before the impact connected.
;bJust like King Leonidas from the movie 300, ;bthe final attack barely misses the mark.
;bInstead when I turn around I find Ryuudo Issei standing there with a hardly noticeable cut across his left cheek. ;bA light wound caused by the insanely thrown broom missing his head by less than a inch.
;p
;bOnly when it finally registers in his brain he jumps back surprised that he still has a head. ;bLuckily for him the pain he felt on his arse falling backwards dealt him more damage than the lance throw from earlier.
;b"Ssa jyou! Wha wha t was that!" ;convulse

Ever since kindergarten days I'd usually start the day by being greeted by Ryuudo Issei who lives in the Ryuudo Temple only 3 blocks away from the Sajyou Shrine. According to our ancestors and their history, Ryuudo Temple and Sajyou Shrine seems to have been mutual benefactors and rivals since they settled into Fuyuki City. Though unlike Ryuudo kun's family, the Sajyou bloodline actively carry out their traditions of exorcising spirits to this day. Both families have originally been great Houjutsushi in ancient times but since the third great calamity of Fuyuki, Ryuudo temple stopped practicing exorcism. I think it's safe to say the younger generation of Ryuudo have all dissolved their old enmity towards my family who runs a simple Shinto Shrine during Sunday. Other than that one particular night when Issei was possessed by a evil spirit he made no attempt at trying to gut me with a stanley knife.
"Hey Sajyou... are you listening to me... Hey Wake up!"
"What are you daydreaming about? We'll be late for school at this rate."
Since then Issei has been assisting me with my late night demon exorcisms.
Despite having no proper training Issei possess natural talent to become a great Houjutsushi. It wasn't until I've exorcised and made him into my Shikigami but Issei has Magic Circuits sleeping within him. What surprised me is the sheer number of that circuits being close to 50.
Well anyway. From the tone of my impatient Shikigami I should make my way towards the school.
We pass the familiar buildings and roads leading to the quickest paths to school. On our way we run into several 1st year juniors at school. Contrary to how seriously nerdy Issei looks he's fairly popular among the younger girls and has his own fanclub without his knowledge. His popularity with girls is about on par with the school's miss idol, Rin Tohsaka.
Rin Tohsaka is the school's number one idol. She is well loved by both Teachers and Students. Any way I look at her, Tohsaka is you're average miss perfect. A character from a love love kind of manga who will fall in love with a hard working guy with an average grade. She reminds me of someone from an old manga series I used to like reading but... I can't seem to remember what it was. I'd be lying if I said I don't feel a slight jealousy towards her but at the same time I can't say I envy her. I don't know how others might think but I sympathize with her trying to keep her perfect image of a honors student. Provided my guess is right on the money, leading a double life is difficult. I'm no stranger to wearing a disguise at school. Unlike the carefree Ryuudo kun next to me I am technically not human. Despite being a exorcist I carry demon blood in my veins which makes me a half blood.
Hmm speaking of Demons....
According to Issei, Tohsaka is definitely a demon or must be possessed by one thus must be exorcised as soon as possible. Somehow I'd like to believe Issei simply feels threatened by Tohsaka's naturally gifted talent to lead student bodies at will. As much as i think Issei makes the perfect Student Council President, I wonder how the elections would have ended had Tohsaka participated on a whim.
His claims however are not without grounds. Even I've heard rumors that Tohsaka lives in a old European styled Mansion which also happens to be haunted.
"In that sense you're not that different than that devilish Tohsaka."
"Your obsessed about Tohsaka aren't you Issei. Secretly admiring the said devil like the rest of the male population?"
"Sajyou! Your argument is groundless!"
Hmmm... that might be so but the way I see it the President of the Student Council doesn't seem to be any different than the other boys at school.
As if dispelling a indecent image out of his head Issei goes into his silent prayer.
"Issei have you ever read about a manga character called Urashima Keitarou? He's a main character from that old school Love Hina series."
"No. Why?"
"Ah it's nothing." You and Tohsaka might not look half bad if you two went to the next Comiket together. While cosplaying as Urashima and Narusegawa haha.
-Shift Scene-
"Hey Sajyou. I've been wondering but when are you going to properly teach me?"
"Teach what?"
"How to perform exorcism as a Houjutsushi for starters. And you told me theres a way to explore the depths of my Magic Cir...."
-Smack!-
"You Idiot! We're in public!" With that I've unconsciously slapped Issei on his back with the usual force I apply to swat a fly.
-Smack Crunch Crush!-
The force knocks Issei to the ground. Maybe I've used abit more force than I thought.
"...."
"Your Herculean strength never seizes to amaze me Sajyou san."
"My bad sorry Issei."
In the end I carried both our bags and Issei followed limping weakly to the school.
-School Gates-
"Morning Ayaka." Standing behind me is a friend of mine from the same class, Mitsuzuri Ayako.
"Morning. It must be nice to be exempt from Fujimura sensei's silly game Ayako."
Normally nobody is exempted from Fujimura sensei's pranks with the exception of those in the Archery club which is supervised by sensei. Ayako being the captain is ofcourse no exception.
I belong to the Karate club supervised by Kuzuki sensei you've seen earlier leaving Ryuudo temple with Issei. Several years ago the school had seperate dojos for Archery and Karate but ever since a mysterious incident that blew up half the school, the two clubs had to share the big Archery dojo. We barely practice on the same day but usually the two clubs use the dojos on days when its not occupied by the other club. Or try to anyway.
