Jun took her seat and folded her hands neatly in her lap. She grinned at Akimoto as he sat down beside her, pulling out a lollipop from the pocket of her sage green blazer. She removed the plastic around it so quickly there was hardly a crackle then placed the bright red candy in her mouth; when she spoke to the gym teacher, a wisp of cinnamon wafted from her smiling lips.
"Oi, what a bad boy you are, Aki-kun. Showing up late as though you weren't paid to be here. Don't try to distract me with flattery, just what held you up?" SHe removed the candy from her mouth using it to emphasize her words.
"Really, it's not like you to be late. I couldn't help but to notice you weren't at Adult Swim last night either. What's up with that, hm?" She gave Akimoto a curious glance over the rims of her glasses, then directed her eyes to the stage as the two students made their way to the stage and took the seats besides the podium. She nearly giggled with the excitement of it all.

"Oomph!" Yuusuke said, as he felt someone run into him from behind. He turned around, looking for the culprit. He scanned the horizon before finally looking down. He recognized Kimiko from the roof, and smirked as he looked down at her.
He extended his hand to her, raising an eyebrow. "Just couldn't get enough of me, ne?" he said softly as the lady on the stage started speaking and beckoning everyone to their seats.

Cyndir let out a yelp as his collar was activated and he felt a charge of electricity nearly immobilize him. He gripped the armrests of his seat to prevent him from jumping out of his chair. His discomfort passed as he saw Sydnie head up to the podium. His face drained of all color, and he unconsciously rested his hand on Sanzo's forearm.
"Why is Sydnie being called up?" he said, his voice quavering.
He felt his heart sink when he saw the red light activate in the girl's collar. She didn't look familiar, but that didn't stop the gut-wrenching grief he felt as he saw her fall. But then he was frozen with fear as his gaze fell on Sydnie. They weren't exactly best friends, as it had always bothered him the way Sydnie flirted with him as well as Renji...But he liked the boy otherwise...He felt tears sting the corners of his eyes, and he turned towards Sanzo.
"They can't...They can't kill him...Sanzo..." he bit his lower lip, trying to deny it.
---
Nyas sat bolt-upright in her seat, hands going to the collar. "The ********!?" she hollered, fuming. These trigger-happy bastards...She turned to Miko to check if she was ok, only to have the girl look at her in terror.
"Neko? What's going on? Expelling? What are you talking about?"
She looked up to see the red light, and the girl slump over.
"What just happened? What did they do to her?" Nyas excaimed.
---
Kimi looked up to see Yuusuke standing over her. She blinked a few times, before taking his hand and getting to her feet, smoothing down her skirt before turning to quickly gather her books.
"Oh, of course..." she responded tartly, as one of the security guards glared at her.
She had just gathered her books, when she felt her collar activated, and she dropped her armload all over again with a cry. The hell! She had ran all the way here just to avoid a shocking!
---
Michale was growing bored within just those few minutes...when suddenly, he heard a split-second buzz before a surge of electricity pulsed through his body. It was unlike anything he'd ever felt before, and he had to grit his teeth against the pain. As soon as the spasm passed, he turned to look at Angel, his fury of earlier momentarily forgotten.

Angel felt the shock jolt through him and a startled and pained cry echoed with the other students and his hands shot up to his neck. Small fingers grasped at the metal of the collar, the skin that it had effected. At the jolt he had seen nothing but white but as his vision came back he could feel tears trickling down the sides of his face. He used the back of his hand to wipe them away. Why did he have to be such a baby. Ow! He winced in pain as his hand brush under his left eye. He had forgotten about the growing welt there.
Josh cursed loudly when the shock was administered and he ended up punching the seat ahead of him, and different pain washed through him. For a second it blinked away from the jolt and the jolt was gone. He sighed in releif wanting to tear out that seat and throw it at the b***h up on stage. Damn frumpy old bat.

Akimoto smiled at Jun as she questioned his whereabouts. "You insult me Jun-chan, and you've known me for how long now? Do you really think I'd want to be seen last night looking the way I did after the detention duty you sentenced me to."
Akimoto grabbed Jun's hand, plucking away the sucker with his other hand. He plopped it into his mouth and sat it in the spot of his missing tooth. "I knew these things were good for something, the sting should numb the hole in my jaw for a while."
Sanzo gripped Cyndir close and buried his face against the redhead's mane. "I'm sorry Cyn-kun....that's exactly what's hap-...." Sanzo couldn't speak anymore. He was scared, scared for Sydnie, he didn't care much for the boy, but the last thing he wanted to happen to him was see him 'expelled'. Tears slowly fell down his cheeks as he tried to talk again.
"Look away Cyn-kun....I'm not watching....You shouldn't either...."
Ayumi's eyes went wide and her hand dropped from her freshly shocked neck as Miko burst out in shock. She knew her collar was a bit milder then the others, but it still stung.
"Elpulsion...? You don't mean they're really going to...." Ayumi's mind clicked on like a light when she realized the meaning of the red light on the girls neck. "But why here? But why in front of all of us?"
She dropped her head into her lap, trying not to witness what she already knew in her mind was going to happen.
As the shocked coursed into his neck, Ariko couldn't help but grab Sachiko's arm tighter then he already was. As the quick pain subsided, he understood the gravity of the full situation. He loosened his grip on Sachiko a bit and leaned into Reiku.
"Well Reiku, now you'll see your first 'expulsion'. If you don't want to look, it's understandable. But this is how you get taken out of here, Micheal's fine so stop loathing about him."
Ariko sat back in the chair and focused his attention back to Sachiko. "Sachiko, have you been to one of these before? If not, I'd recommend not looking." He stared into her violet eyes, although it made him happy to be in such close proximity to her, he couldn't help but feel bad for Sydnie and the new girl. He and Sydnie might have had some disagreements about some things, but he didn't deserve to die.

As the red light flashed in Inari's collar, Renji frowned in distress, but when the Headmistress began to speak to Sdie that way, he knew it was all over. He shook his head in disbelief. This had to be some kind of joke...or better yet, a nightmare. Syd wasn't really about to be Expelled. The world seemed to give a surreal tilt. It wasn't that he'd never seen an expulsion before, it was just that he'd never witnessed the expulsion of a friend. he didn't think he could take it, but he couldn't look away, even as the blonde girl fell from her chair. His hands clenched into fists in his lap.
"Theif!" Jun exclaimed with a whisper-shout. She cast a sidelong glance at her boss, not wishing to be of distraction to her. "I thought you didn't like those anyway. And I really don't think it's a good idea to put sugar on an open hole like that..." She shook her head with a soft chuckle, pushing up her glasses with her index finger. "And you're the Health teacher?!"
"hai hai, ok, you've explained your absence last night. Still doesn't explain you being late today, ne? If being a student here does nothing else, it instills a sense of puntuality in you, ne? I'm sure you remember...it hasn't been that long since our collars have been removed....what's it been about 8 years?"
Sachiko took, Raven's hand in one hand and Ariko's in the other. She had been about to tell Raven she was being silly about her forgetting her for Ariko, but then the mass shoking had run it's course through the auditorium Now, one kid was dying on stage, with another to shortly follow. She nodded stiffly at in response to Ariko's inquiry.
"Hai...I've seen a few....You don't have to worry about me, ne? I'm a big girl." Despite her words, her violet eyes were just a bit too shiny.

Cyndir had to choke back a sob, and he buried his face against Sanzo's chest, not wanting to watch, knowing what was going to happen...
"Sanzo...it's...it's not fair...What did Sydnie ever do?" Cyndir said, balling his fists. "How...how can they do this?"
Tears fell freely from his dual-colored eyes. He couldn't look up...Sydnie...It wasn't fair...It wasn't fair. Sydnie never caused any harm to anyone. How could they do this? Cyndir had seen an expulsion before...and every time he felt the pang of sadness, regardless of whether he knew the student or not...But he had never had to witness a friend's death. It felt like his heart stopped beating, as he cried openly against Sanzo's chest.

Sanzo couldn't say a word, his emotions swelling too high to allow him to say anything of comfort to Cyndir. He squeezed his arms tighter around Cyndir, Sanzo felt the boy shake as he sobbed into his chest. With his face still buried into the top of Cyndir's hair, Sanzo kissed him repeatedly. Sanzo slid a hand up to the back of Cyndir's head and gently rubbed his scalp, hoping to soothe him through the pain.
"Well if you really must know, I slept in. The meds from the nurses office knocked me on my a**. You know I don't do drugs well, so why are you hassling me like some ******** child."
Akimoto glanced back at the stage, making sure he and Jun's exchange hadn't reached her ears. He popped the sucker from his mouth and turned back to Jun. Being sure to keep his voice to low tones as not to alert the auditorium to the matter.
"And yes it has been eight years, and after that long I'd hope you would have at least come to check on me. But no....I had to go to my room and try to look myself in the mirror after that. My head felt like it was going to explode til the meds kicked in. Now, with my ears still ringing, you give me guff about two minutes, do me a favor, sit there, look pretty,...." He shoved the sucker pass Jun's lips and smiled, " and shut up."
Ariko tightened his grip on Sachiko's hand and gave her a nod, keeping his eyes locked into hers. "Okay Sachiko, I don't want you to think I'm treating you like a baby or anything. It's just....well....nevermind....I don't know what I'm saying anymore...."
Ariko hung his head in disbelief. The mass shocking was one thing, but the public execution of students had begun to break his spirit. Although he had seen his share of these things in the past, it didn't make it any easier.

---> From Eriadors room
Onimu smirked. She had been sitting silently in her chair the whole time. A camera rested in her lap she specially took from her room. An meeting in the auditorium was always something special and she was right.
As soon as everyone heared that they would get shocked she activated her camera and taped the screams and faces of pain and even zoomed in when the girl fell towards the ground.
Her face had an sadistical smirk as she turned her head to Akimoto and Jun.
"Something to wacth for the night" She whispered towards them, showing her camera a little before she contineud filming again.

Reiku shook his head, burying his face in his hands. Ok, so Michael wasn't being expelled, at least not in this instant. His heart felt tons lighter at that confirmation; if it had been My-kun...well, he'd have been inconsolable. Still, as cold as he might like to present himself to be, in truth he was anything but the sort. And the scene playing out onstage made him sick to his soul. How could this be allowed? There was no way something like this could be legal...
"Ariko, this is horrible!"
Sachiko was glad Ariko hadn't snatched his hand back, though she hadn't really expected him to. it was comforting...well as comforting as anything could be in this given situation. She'd always liked Sydnie...he was such a free-spirit. Never once did she see him act like he was in prison. He was always having the time of his life....Well, until now, that is. Even Duo couldn't be having fun now. Sachiko didn't even notice tears has begun spilling down her cheeks, and she rested her head against Ariko's shoulder, keeping her eyes concentrated on their clasped hands. She still held Raven's hand in her other.

Miko was clutching Nyas' arm for dear life. She wanted to hug Ayumi, but she just couldn't pry herself from Nyas. She nodded rapdly in response to the older's question, though her face was hidden by he cowering into the taller teen, and when she spoke her voice was slightly muffled.
"H-Hai, Nyas-sama, Kohai-chan...Those kids onstage....that red light means they've been Expelled.... did you see the look on that girl's face? That was the needles going in, no doubt...Th-They poison you, and there's no saving yo then!" It was obvious the girl had begun to cry as her tiny shoulders shook. Miko got by by pretending that this was just some fancy boarding school her parents had shipped her off to.... But it was hard to maintain that facade when people died right in front of you...
Jun looked a bit disappointed when Akimoto cited oversleeping as the cause for his tardiness. Well, that wasn't exciting at all, now was it? But as he continued on she visibly bristled with every word, until he finished up with shoving her sucker back i her mouth. Her eyes narrowed as she snatched it out again, pointing the bright red orb at him to empahasize her whispered words.
"And why are you acting like such a ******** old fogey? What are you getting all sensitive about Akimoto? I mean, damn, it's not like I've accused you of anything, just a few harmless questions. Sheesh, you don't have to bite my head off.
"And as for not coming to visit you, I'm sorry, but I haven't been a teacher for four years, Aki. My day doesn't end when classes do, and just because you cancelled yours doesn't mean I can just skip off when I get a whim. I have responsibilities as Dean. Shame on you for trying to make me feel bad for taking my job seriously. "
"How was I supposed to know those kiddies would rough you up so good. Meh, I guess we all have our off days, ne? it was bound to happen eventually. You know I would have done nothing but tease you mercilessly had I come to see you, even after I finally got out my office. You see now I barely said two words to you and you tell me to shut up. Youre so gruff..." Jun placed her lollipop back in her mouth, and it clicked softly against her back teeth. "I like gruff though....It suits you, ne? I couldn't imagine you any other way. Though I seem to remember you having quite the sweet side too..." She giggled before looking over at Onimu, trying to peek at the woman's camera.
"You are a special one, Morgi. I never thought to record anything, though some things I wish I had. Like when one of the firebugs came into my office the other day to get a note for his friend. He was so kawaii when he started to cry. It was almost a little too easy, ne? He was probalby a soft one....not somethign you expect from a pyro. Takes all kinds, I guess." The Dean shrugged. "Oi, look at the boy's face! Get a close-up, get a close-up!"

Akimoto's smile shrank and he dropped his head a bit at Jun's words. He knew she was right about her duties at Midori. He didn't know how she really did it at times, she seemed so bubbly under the constant pressures of her position. He knew Otama didn't accept failures at any level, today's exhibition proved that point.
As Jun's attention wandered away, so did Akimoto's thoughts. He began to think of how she was taking the the whole event. He wanted to go grab her away from this. But if he did, he might as well put her on stage with the rest of them.
He looked over at the stage again, patiently awaiting the inevideble doom that awaited the boy on stage. "Why don't we just get this show on the road already, enough with the games." He turned his head toward Jun again, pretty much ignoring Morgi's presence. "I want to talk to you later Jun....when you have the time. And I'm serious, not rushing or being an a*****e about it. Just let me know, and I'll be there."

 Otama smiled thinly at the boy beside her. He'd catch on soon enough, but she couldn't hold up the day waiting for it. She looked to the students assembled.
"I'm afraid this has only dealt with one accomplice. However I have another pair of names in front of me. Please, don't bother to get up. We can handle this from right where you are... Sophie Lockheart, please smile and wave to your mate, Kaden Ross. Smile sweetly now, it's the least you can do for taking him down with you. Sayanara." As she spoke, she had rattled out the the girl's activation code, and the red light began to glow within her collar.
"Well, now. Within the next 10 minutes, we will have four dead bodies on our hands. And isn't that such a tragedy. It could have been avoided. All you need do is follow the rules. this is a lesson to be learned by all of you. Age, height, gender, offense, it makes little to no difference to me. I do not care if your parents sent you here or your sentencing judge, but once you pass through those gates, your a**, your lives, your souls belong to me."

Raven had been silent during this shocked at the teachers murdering ways. How dare she kill another human being! She had been shocked at the shock before..but this was in human...Tears welled up in her eyes as she grasped ahold of Sachiko's hand tightly a whimper escaped her. How DARE...What right did the teacher no matter what was done KILL anyone? As soon as she got out of here, she would make sure that teacher never killed again.

Kenji's hands balled into fists on the armrests of his chair. He'd been worried about this assembly, and how here it was-- fears officially confirmed. He'd gotten used to the threat of expulsion. He still thought it was horrible-- not just the act of killing bad students, but the fact that it seemed a terrible way to go-- but as long as you stayed on the straight-and-narrow, that wasn't a problem, was it?
No, it wasn't... unless your mysterious collarmate was a troublemaker. Then, there was nothing you could do about it. He was relieved that neither he nor Kotone had their collars linked to the offenders. He hoped they were actually linked to each other-- but that would just be too convenient. It didn't seem like something Midori would do, at least knowingly.
Speaking of Kotone, she'd have gotten that shock, too.... Poor her. Getting shocked at the neck while already having a fever and sore throat wouldn't be pleasant. Kenji winced slightly, rubbing his own neck where there was still a mild sting. At least she didn't have to see this.
