Father School

Ying smacked her for head at Lucien. Why did he think this was funny? It wasn't it was horrible. The poor kids were probably going to have nightmares for the rest of their lives. " ok well now that that is out of the way I guess we should start..........oh wait." The were girl started speaking but trailed off when she saw Jack. The pirate had come in late and he didn't answer the questions yet. "Ok before we start why don't we let Jack answer the questions. What would you do if your child was hurt? What would you do if your child misbehaves? What would you do if your child gets a boyfriend/girlfriend? What would you do if your child says naughty words? And finally how would you let your child know you care for them?" Hopefully that would delay things a little more.

"I don't believe it. That can't be true." Xander mumbled to himself. He really didn't understand any of this and he was really hoping it was just a trick.

The demon was sitting there laughing hysterically at the two little boys reaction. This was the greatest thing ever. "Hey if you don't believe me why don't you try it and see?"

Xanders eyes widened and terror and he nearly fainted at the thought. No way was he going to that. "No way thats gross..."

"How do you think you came about? Your mommy and daddy had sex to create you." The demon said still laughing.

"I think we should put the demon in detention for bullying Xander and disrupting the class." Yang suggested. This day was just getting worse and worse. That demon had issues and needed to be locked up or something. The boy wondered how his parents had possibly put up with him.

"Oh be quiet. Just because your the queens brother doesn't mean your better then me. Your just being a teachers pet. I'm pretty sure were all failing anyway. Thats why were here in the first place." The demon replied annoyed.

"I actually think thats a great idea." Ying commented.

"What?!" Akuma asked in disbelief.

"You heard me. Next break your staying here and writing notes on the board 500 times." Ying said firmly crossing her arms. The demon was driving her nuts.

"You can't make me do that." The demon said rebelliously.


"I'm the queen i can make you do anything i want. Besides i'm sure Astreal wouldn't be happy to hear how your picking on Xander like that." Ying replied smiling victoriously.

"but....oh fine." The demon grumbled dejectedly. This was ridiculous being giving detention by a little girl.

Jack went to speak and then faltered, his bottle of rum swishing in his hand. Thinking over the questions, positive he was going to forget some, he mumbled an answer. "I'd give the little bugger some rum." It sounded like a wonderful answer, and it fit with all of them. Jack was sure that his child would be very fond of rum.

Bob looked at the demon like he was insane. How utterly unbelievable! You can't treat someone like that after they've just had one heck of a shock! When he commented on his parents having sex, Bob shuddered noticabley. "Put a sock in it, will you? You're horribly nasty. Lucien, people like that shouod be executed for... something!" The boy looked at the king, knowing it to be disrepectful to call him by his first name. It would look bad, though, to call treason on a child.

"I second the idea of detention, or something of the sort." Armageddon looked around thoughtfully, his gaze settling on the demon that just sat there and didn't move. He was a very mysterious, dangerous looking person. He wouldn't want to get on that guy's bad side. Shifting his gaze over to the boys, he hoped that they weren't too freaked out. That whats-his-face pervert needed to be quiet. It was bad for the children.

Lucien looked around quietly, listening to the conversation. "Ying... wouldn't that be abusing your powers? I mean... not to stick up for him or anything, but... you said, and I quote, 'I'm the queen I can make you do anything I want.' Sure you can, but... well I agree that the comments were unnessecary, but..." Realizing what he was potentially getting himself into, he looked at his wife for a moment. "I'll shut up now." He offered a faint smile and then looked away, laughing nervously. "If it makes the situation any better, I agree that he should be punished. Although I'd rather throw him into the moat, personally." In truth, the only reason he wanted him thrown in the moat was to see if fish liked the demon as much as they liked him.

Ying smiled at Luciens comment. It was kind of rude but it was funny because usually it was the other way around. He would be abusing his power. "Well this is a class right and usually the teachers can give detentions to bad students. So i thought it was reasonable...better then some of the other suggestions, right?" She shrugged nobody else seemed to have a problem with her decision.

Some how she should have expected the rum answer from the pirate. Oh great someone else she would have to fail. So now it appeared her stalling for time wasn't working. She needed to come up with a lesson and fast.........or maybe Lucien could. "Ok Lucien will start the next lesson." She said grinning at him. This would be fun..she wondered what he would teach.

Yang laughed at the demon. "This is way funnier don't you think so?" Can we have break now i want to see the notes your going to make him write.

"Actually it is funny. Especially since notes won't make any difference. The seed has already been planted in their minds. No amount of detention will ever repair their damaged phyche." The demon said grinning proudly. He didn't care what anyone thought. He was going to raise his children how he wanted to raise them and nobody could tell him other wise.

Xander was just staring blankly into space with a terrified look on his face.

Ying noticing Xander and hearing Yangs comment shook her head. The girl sighed " ok i think we need another break. 20minutes. Akuma go into the room down the hall and start writing on the black board there ' I will not say naughty things in class' five hundred times. If you don't like it Lucien will throw you in the moat. Don't try anything because we will come and check on you. Class dismissed for break." She hated being all commanding and strict but that repulsive demon was giving her no choice. something had to be done about him before he did anymore damage. No one else seemed to be doing anything about it so the girl had to do something. Once everyone was gone she waved a head in front of Xanders face to try and get his attention. The hybrid really didn't look that good. Was it possible for someone to be scared into coma?

Come to think of it....what exactly happened when she found out. As far s she could remember she took it ok but she didn't have someone put it the way the demon had. No the girl remembered that she had got little bits of the information from different people at different times. Lucien, Finn and Calypso had all helped explain it in a way that was easy for her to understand and not so scary. Sure it was hard and she was still kind of coming to terms with it. Unfortunately what happened here was far from nice or slow. The boy had gotten the shock of his life and his brain was probably exploding from all the information.

Lucien didn't know what to start teaching right away. Probably something that one would tell every parent if they were to be successful. What would that be, though? The man was sitting there in deep thought until he heard Ying dismiss for break. He stopped thinking to listen to what she was saying. Over joyed by the 'throw him in the moat' comment, Lucien became extremely happy in a matter of seconds, although he decided not to show it. That would be best, after all. Probably wouldn't look good if he did chuck someone into the moat for horrifying some little kid. Then again, if he wasn't king, it wouldn't matter. Crud.

Sesshomaru stood up and walked out the door. He kept on walking until he was out of the castle. He was sure that he was already passing the class and missing the lessons weren't going to kill him. He knew how to be a decent father and really didn't need to sit through all that and be bored outof his mind. It wasn't like they could execute him, anyways. Sure, they could try, but...

Jack looked around. Looks like he had arrived at the perfect time. They were on break, and he could do whatever he liked. Plopping down in a corner, he sat there and drank his rum happily. He would take a seat later, once break was off. Right now, though, he felt good and wanted it to stay that way.

Armageddon sighed and walked over to where Ying was, by the boy. "I have something that'll wake him up." The man pulled a small, candy looking objectr out of his pocket. It wasn't a candy, though. It was roots and berries mixed together and then put into this form. The taste was horribly nasty, and it would probably get anybody to respond. At least enough to spit it out. Perhaps the boy was just in shock from hearing that. The other one, though, wouldn't shut up. Perhaps he wzas just trying to prove it wrong.

Bob sat there in his chair, eyebrows drawn together in thought. That demon was wrong! He had to be! There was no way... ugh! Why couldn't organisms all be asexual? Then they wouldn't have to worry about this crap because they'd be having babies all the time. There would be so many look alikes that it would be pathetic. Holding his head in his hands, Bob sat there in deep thought. he didn't want to believe it, but supposed he had to. Until he learned more, he was going to be a firm believer in the stork, no matter what anyone said, and that was that. This was so... weird! He didn't know what to believe.

"Anything is worth a shot. I guess i should go check on the demon." Ying said letting Armageddon handle Xander.

Yang went out side of the castle for a bit to get away from all the craziness. This father school thing was causing more harm then good. The only thing anyone learned so far was who was not going to be good fathers. They needed to find someone who knew about being a dad already to teach the class. Lucien and Ying were smart but he didn't think their brain power would help them here. Perhaps he should find Liam. He was a father, so he would know. Only problem was that he was kind of sword happy........but maybe he put aside that aspect of himself to raise his daughter? Guess it was worth a try since it really couldn't get much worse. So the werewolf went back in the castle to search for Liam.

Xander tasted something really awful and spat it out. Shaking his head he look around wondering what had happened. Where was everyone? Did the demon scare them to?
"what happend.....where is everyone?"

Akuma was staring at the black board and the chalk wondering how he was possible going to write all those notes in just twenty minutes. Forget it he didn't care what the queen did he was not going to humiliate himself this way. The demon would rather be thrown in the moat. So he left the room and ran right in to the queen.

"Where are you going?" Ying asked. Although she already knew the answer.

"Obviously i'm leaving. I'm not going to write those notes it's impossible. This is actually rather boring so i'm just going to leave this school. I don't need a girl telling me how to be a father anyway." The demon said annoyed walking right past her and walking out of the castle. The only one he would even be remotely interested in what she said would be Astreal because he didn't want to be a zombie when he died. Though even then it wasn't like she had any control over him he just vaguely cared what she thought.

Ying sighed and went back to class. The demons were long gone which was probably a good thing. Though also bad because they were the once who had the most problems. Bottom line this whole thing was a disaster.

Armageddon smiled when the kid spit out the candy. "Everyone is on break, which means you are too. Would you like me to get you something?' The man smiled lightly, heaving a sigh of relief when the demon left. That was a relief. No one really wanted/needed him anyways. He enjoy spending time away from his kids.

Lucien looked around quietly, thinking about what to teach next. Probably the appropriate way to act and speak when around children. That would be really nice to teach, mainly because all the other kids would be spared being traumatized. But, since the demons left, perhaps it would be interesting to just party. that would be fun, and it might be able to take bob and Xander's minds off the topic of babies. wait a minute... why was he concerned about them?

Bob sat there quietly, trying to think about everything else. too bad that wouldn't happen. His mind was set on thinking about one thing and one thing only; babies. Eww. Just that word made him want to barf now. Why did he even have to come to this class? Obviously, children were disgusting and weren't a thing to be messed with. That was just sick how the demon said it, though. Why couldn't he stop thinking of it, though? This really sucked.

Liam was leading Annabelle around the garden. She wanted to go see the 'smelly flowers'. Liam had only agreed because the girl wouldn't settle down for a nap. Little turd. Calypso was busily working on a dress, so Liam had been in charge of watching their daughter. It wasn't a burden, but the girl did manage to be quite a handful. Right now though, he was smiling. He enjoyed having the child around. When she smiled, he smiled. That was how it should be, right?

Xander shook his head when Armageddon offered to get him something. Getting up he decided to walk around a bit maybe there was something he could do to take his mind of the yucky sex thing. The hybrid wondered if there was such a thing as erasing memories...that would be nice.

Ying was happy that Xander seemed ok, Armageddons trick had obviously worked. The girl had no idea what she was going to do for the lessons though. Hopefully Lucien will have thought of something. Walking over to Lucien she smiled "Well perhaps now that the demons are gone things will be a little better. So any ideas Royce?"

Finally after what seemed like hours searching Yang had finally found Liam in the garden. "This is going to sound weird but i need you to follow me and teach a parenting class. It's a long story but we need someone who actually knows how to be a dad to teach because there is no way Lucien and my sister knows enough to teach anything." He explained hastily. There wasn't much time before the lessons started and the werewolf was really afraid of what might happen next.

Lucien offered a smile to Ying. "I was thinking more of a 'How to act' segment, working 'how to speak' in with that. But, since the demons are gone, we could probably be brief on that part. I don't know, though. That's all I could come up with. There truly is no 'proper' way to raise a child. It varies from family to family, really." The man rubbed his head in thought. "Almost time to ge started then, isn't it? We'll just have to wait until Xander gets back, then we can start."

Liam looked at the werewolf quietly, thinking that the statement did sound rather weird. Annabelle looked up, curious as to what was going on. Looking at his daughter, Liam smiled. "We have to go now, but we can come back tomorrow." The girl pouted for a moment, then looked up at her dad. "Promise?" "Promise." The girl smiled happily and snatched up Liam's hand with hers. Smiling lightly, he looked at Yang. "I'll follow you." Picking Annabelle up, he had decided to carry her. There was no way she wold be abole to keep up with his stride length.

Bob looked around nervously, wanting to get out of there badly. He needed a cookie. Standing up, he took off at a fast-paced walk and made his way to the kitchen. Wandering around for a moment, a kitchen maid noticed him and helped him find the cookies and a glass of punch. Once he had gotten his goodies, he walked back to the room as slowly as possible, taking his time to help him relax.

Xander returned to the room after his short walk. He couldn't wait for this day to be over. To his relief it didn't look like the demons were coming back.

Yang nodded and lead Liam to the room where the class was. Hopefully Liam would be able to teach them and it wouldn't be a disaster. Luckily it seemed the demons were gone so perhaps the class would be more calm.

Ying was thrilled when Yang brought Liam. She was saved and would not have to teach the class. Whoever set this up really should have picked someone who was a parent to begin with. Sure her and Lucien were suppose to teach it but this was better. If the people wanted the class to be taught properly having a dad do it was their best shot. "Thank goodness your here. We need you to teach this class how to be good fathers."

Liam looked around the room quietly, with Annabelle squirming impatiently at his side. "Alright, alright. Why don't you go over there and draw a unicorn on that blackboard over there?" Setting the girl down, she giggled happily and ran into the room with the blackboard. Looking around, it was nice to know that he was needed. "So then... how should I go about doing this? Perhaps if people ask questions could answer them or something? Or..." Liam shook his head. He was confused about how he should do this.

Lucien blinked in disbelief. That was actually a good idea. Looking at the man, he had no idea how anyone should go about this now. Perhaps Ying would have a good idea? She normally did. That and he didn't have any questions to ask. The man looked around, wondering where Bob was. Just as he had thought of it, the boy walked in with his drink and cookies, and Lucien hmmpfed lightly. Why didn't he think of that?

Bob took his place in his chair and happily munched on his cookie. Jack came over and sat by him, the smell of rum drifting over the boy. "You stink!" Bob's nose wrinkled in disgust. The only other availible seat was by Xander... oh, heck. Getting up, he walked over and sat by his other half. This was rather dumb. He wanted to leave. Hadn't he already said that twenty times?

Armageddon took a seat by the pirate. He did stink. Creating a ball of water, he threw it on the pirate. He smelled so icky... perhaps that would help. Jack looked at the elemental quietly, then went back to sipping his rum. Both men didn't know how to react, so they did nothing, just waited for the class to start.

"ok Liam why don't you awnser the questions everyone else awnsered before. That way we can see how someone who alread is a father would act. The questions are: What would you do if someone hurt your child? What would you do if your child misbehaves? What would you do if your child had a boyfriend/girlfriend? what would you do if your child says naughty words? And fianally what would you do to show your child that you care?" Ying hoped that him awnsering those questions would help give the others some ideas and then maybe after Liam would have his own ideas to teach.

Xander was sitting in his seat quietly. He looked at his other self briefly wondering when the guy had time to get cookies. That and he wondered why Bob had came over to sit by him... probably to bully him.

Yang sat back and waited to hear what Liam would say. Things seemed to be alot better now that the crazy demon was gone. The only people here now that he figured would be any trouble was Bob and the drunk pirate. So far though the two seemed reasonably quiet, with luck it would stay that way.

Liam thought about the questions for a moment. "It depends on how old they are. If they are above eighteen, they would probably be... beaten. Younger than that, I would tell their parents and make them do something about it. When she misbehaves, she gets scolded and occasionally sent to bed early or placed in a corner. Sometimes we just take away her dessert. When Belle gets a boyfriend, he had better treat her well, especially if he is older than her by a few years. Too many, and I won't allow it until she is an adult. She has started saying those words already, and once I told her that they were bad and she shouldn't say them, she stopped using them. She knows I care just by what I do in everyday life. Just ask her." Liam thought that he had covered it all and answered everything to his best ability. That was good.

Lucien took that in and realized just how different those answers were from everyone else's. Apparently once you had a kid you changed. That was fine with hiim, though. Looking around, he tried to read everyone's faces for some emotion, trying to see how they felt.

Jack figured those were tyrpical, normal answers that many fathers would give, if they actually spent time with the kid. Armageddon liked the answers and wondered how he could incorporate that in to work out the issues with his little turds. Bob, on the other hand, couldn't believe it. That guy had to be nuts. He was so calm... that was nuts. Nearly impossible, really. It seemed abnormal... Then again, his kid was present and she was only... four, maybe? She was young, so it would probably make a difference with age, right? Hmm... sticking the other cookie in his mouth, he finished it off.

Ying smiled at Liam. "Thats wonderfull thankyou. Is there anything else you thing furture fathers should know or do?" This was a good sign at least he knew what he was doing. If he was done then she suppose all that would be left would be the test. But she would rather wait.

Xander thought that seemed reasonable and to his surprise it was kind of close to what he had suggested. Maybe he wouldn't fail this class after all. But even so he really didn't want to have kids. Now that he thought about it........oh no....if Liam had a kid that mean that the man...The boy swollowd. Holding on to the desk tightly he tried to think of something else. That demon was just as bad as the queen was.

Yang smiled with relief. Things were starting to look better already. With Liams experiences guiding them maybe the males here had some hope of becoming good fathers. He still thought the idea of a parenting class was stupid though. But there was nothing wrong with someone giving suggestions. Maybe thats all the guys here really needed.

"Don't tell them where babies come from. Until they are old enough to handle it."

Lucien burst out laughing. That was rather funny, actually. They had already covered that with two eleven year olds in the room, and it was a demon that had told it. That was probably a no-no to everything. The man shook his head lightly and caught Liam giving him a funny look. All the king could do was shake his head in quiet laughter. Bob's eyes grew wide and he slumped down in his seat, nearly choking on his cookie. He felt like he was going to be sick. Rushing out of the room, he spat the cookie out the window and shook his head. Ewwww. It was never going to go away, now was it?

Armageddon nodded, knowing that to be a good point. The reactions from the two little boys were enough to let him know not to do anything like that. Not only would it be horrible to talk about, but it would really stress them out. Jack just laughed quietly and drank his rum in silence. It was rather fun, this class. Very educationally interesting. Too bad he wasn't here for the first half of it.

This was too much for the hybrid to handle. Xanders eyes widened and he fainted falling out of his seat.

Yang nearly fell out of his chair laughing, he couldn't help it. The irony was just to funny. When the werewolf got control of himself and he looked around the room at everyone elses reactions. Not surprisingly one of the boys ran out of the room and the other fainted. He was glade to see that Lucien was laughing to. At least he wasn't the only one that found it kind of funny.

Ying sighed and palm faced when she heard what Liam said. She should have seen that one coming. "Thanks Liam i guess you can go. Everyone else it is study time. And then i will give you your test." This was going to be a memorble day for all the wrong reasons. "While you leave can you get the nurse."She asked still talking to Liam. It was probably best to send the boys to get check out. At this rate there would only be one person left in the whole class.

Liam wasn't listening, because Annabelle had started crying. "What happened?" He wandered into the other room, looking at his child with the chalk sticking out of her mouth. "Spit that out! Annabelle!" He took the chalk from the child and walked back into the other room. "I'll go get that nurse right away." Walking out, trying to hush his crying child, he went right to the nurse.

Bob was breathing heavily and had decided that he wasn't going to puke. That was a good thing, right? Looking at the floor, he didn't know if he could even stand up. Crawling back into the room, he raised his hand. Lucien acknowlegded him, and Bob didn't even know if he could speak. "Can I be dismissed?" He looked at the king, his face extremely pale with little color left in his cheeks. He really wanted to go home.

Lucien looked at Ying for an answer. Hopefully she would say yes, because some puke wouldn't exactly be a good thing. Armageddon was thinking about potential answers to the test, and jack was... being Jack. The king looked at the kid laying on the floor and actually felt rather bad for him. Armageddon looked down and tossed the kid a candy. "Chew on that. You'll feel better." Bob looked at the elemental likehe was nuts but ate the candy anyways. After a few seconds hi tummy started to feel a little better.
