10th Realm

[mukuro69]

I may be currently confined to the infirmary with broken ribs, but that does not mean my students will be allowed to have an extended holiday as well, kufufu~

As it seems I will not be able to return to teaching for a good two weeks or so, your homework is as follows:

[To students of psychology:]
Write an essay of minimum 2000 words on what causes the mind to descend into what is known as 'insanity', with particular emphasis on your opinion why society deems this as such. If you are confused, consider what state of mind we consider 'sane', and compare it to that which is deemed 'insane'. I expected insightful answers. (And I give you permission to study certain persons on this campus if you are still struggling. Namely, some members of the Varia, Byakuran and his Funeral Wreaths.)

[To students of espionage:]
If you can successfully bypass Genkishi and infiltrate Byakuran's room without his knowledge and return to me with evidence of your having been inside, you will pass. Be sure it is something that is recognisable as his, kufu~

[To students learning Mist flame manipulation:]
Advanced level: I shall be moving on to practical applications of Mist flames upon my return. In the meantime, make summary notes from the relevant textbooks you have been given to study from.

Expert level: Write an essay on the use of such flames in battle apart from illusions. Minimum 1000 words.

[To students of illusions:]
I will test you on your progress when I am able-bodied.

Advanced level: Your challenge is to create a landscape that completely encompasses the hall which I will be selecting for use on the day (so its size will be a surprise, kufu~). Those who want to excel should be able to make the area seem larger than it truly is, and by that I mean I should be able to walk through a forest and never see its end.

Expert level: I expect you to be able to create a series of illusions all at once, each quite different to each other. And make sure they are complex. A single flower is not sufficient at this level. You should be able to create a field of flowers where each one is unique. This is as much a test of your eye for detail as it is a test of your imagination. Do not disappoint me.

[To students in my mid-range combat class:]
I will be sorting you all into pairs so you may spar with each other once I am fit. I may even personally test you myself and I will know if you haven't been practising.

[To ALL my students:]
I have not specified a deadline for the above tasks but know that I expect all the relevant material to be handed in the very next class I attend. So I suggest you do not procrastinate since you do not know exactly when I will be returning, hmm? Kufufufufu~

[To Byakuran:]
I see you have already announced the news of our engagement. Will you now tell me what it is you have been hiding, since I have just announced I am betrothed to you?

I am not budging on the issue of our wedding. I refuse to wear a dress of any kind and no amount of coercing will make me change my mind.

[Private to Chrome:]
Are you still well? Is Sawada Tsunayoshi truly adequate protection from that man?

It's always nice to think ahead of things, isn't it?

[Private to Mukuro; Unhackable]
Well, let's just say he has this old ambition he wants to achieve and since his body is currently frail, he want you - your body - to be his vessel.

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

...hmph.

[Private to Byakuran; unhackable]
Oh, does he? And he believes he can achieve this by threatening Chrome...?

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

[Private to Mukuro; Unhackable]
Isn't it the most effective way to get to the one closest to you - with an exception of me, of course - when he cannot get to you directly?

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

That it is...

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

Surely you are not thinking of sacrifice yourself in place of Chrome-chan, are you?

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

...Don't be ridiculous.

[He says it absent-mindedly and likely IS contemplating something similar to what Byakuran suggested.]

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

You do know giving yourself to Daemon-kun will make Chrome-chan suffer emotionally more than she already is, don't you, Mukuro-kun?

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

She does not have to know.

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

She will still know anyway. You two are somehow still linked, yes? And she will know her Mukuro-sama isn't her usual Mukuro-sama. It can easily be told, Mukuro-kun. And of course, I am strongly displeased about it.

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

I think I am quite capable of holding my own against him. I am not so easily placed under another's control.

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

Not in your current condition, sweetheart. Might I remind you that you have broken ribs and is still unable to go anywhere out of the infirmary.

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

His forte is illusions. I doubt he will stoop to physical torture.

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

Oh? And attacking Chrome-chan who is a weak little girl isn't called stooping?

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

He has not attacked her (yet), merely...taken control of her mind and body.

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

Mental damage is relevant to physical health condition. I'm positive you're aware of that, sweetheart. It's better safe than sorry.

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

... [He just crosses his arms with an annoyed expression, glaring off to the side.]

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

[He grabs Mukuro's chin and makes him turn to look at him.] I'm not saying you're weak, Mukuro-kun. Your husband is worried about you.

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

I'm not delicate like some, Byakuran. [He pulls away from the don.]

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

I know. But you'll have to know that your husband is possessive.

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

That does not mean you can stop me from doing what I wish.

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

I'm not stopping you, then. Especially when you have already done what I find disapproving. But I'm only telling you this because you asked: I have my own way of dealing with him without having to dirty my own hands, love.

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

So long as it is not you yourself, I have no objection.

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

Should I interpret that as you not wanting me to touch anyone else but you?

Private to Byakuran; unhackable

[mukurou69.livejournal.com]

...Why should I care who you touch?

Private to Mukuro; Unhackable

[donmillefiore.livejournal.com]

Oh? So you don't care if I might happen to bed him?
