Lilian pointed at the woman, who pointed right back, all three of
them shouting at the same time. “IT’S
YOU!”
    ***
    The
boys and girls split up after Heather was introduced, with Coach
Raide taking the boys outside while the girls remained indoors.
    “Alex.”
    “Rodriguez.”
    “So…”
Eric
placed his hands behind his head. “That
Heather chick with the mean WWF skills is the woman in charge of
those people who tried kidnapping you and Lilian, huh?”
    “Seems
that way,”
Kevin
grunted. He and Eric were standing in yet another line, this one on
the basketball court.
    I
hate basketball.
    “Philip.”
    “Brian.”
    Eric
whistled. “Damn.
Never thought we’d
bump into one of those people. Wonder how she got a job working at
this school. Then again, that Japanese professor guy―”
    “Inagami
Takashi.”
    “Right,
right, him. Anyway, he also worked at this school. Maybe she had her
super secret spy agency or whatever create some false identification
stating she was a teacher.”
    “Or
maybe your dad let her have the job because she’s
hot, and we all know that your dad’s
as lecherous as you are.”
    “Christian.”
    “Zach.”
    “That’s
a harsh thing to say, My Lord,”
Eric
muttered. “My
old man might be a perv, but there’s
no way he’s
anywhere near as perverted as me!”
    “That’s
not something to be proud of, idiot! And don’t
call me ‘My
Lord!’
It’s
creepy.”
    “Francis.”
    “Jack.”
    “So,
what do you think’s
going on with the girls?”
asked
Eric.
    Kevin
ran a hand through his hair. “I
don’t
know, but I’m
worried. That woman was the one who ordered my kidnapping, or at
least I think she was. Either way, she was the one in charge of those
people, which means she’s
the one who wanted to capture Lilian. Who’s
to say that’s
not still her goal?”
    “You
could always call the police.”
    “And
say what? ‘Hey,
Mr. Police Officer. I’ve
got this woman teaching my gym class. I think she’s
actually a spy sent by a secret organization to capture my kitsune
girlfriend. Could you please send someone over here to arrest her for
me?’”
Kevin
snorted. “Yeah,
I can see that going over really well.”
    “You
know, you’ve
become awfully sarcastic in the past two weeks, My Lord.”
Kevin
twitched. “Are
you feeling alright?”
    “Just
dandy.”
    “Haden.”
    “Eric.”
    “Heh,
looks like they’re
calling me.”
Eric
stepped out of line and tossed his friend a wave. “Catch
you later, My Lord.”
    “Oh,
for the all the gods’
sakes,
would you stop calling me that?!”
    ***
    “Shouldn’t
you be playing dodgeball with the other girls?”
    Lilian
didn’t
answer Heather’s
question, instead choosing to glare daggers at the blond-haired
woman. The new assistant coach appeared more amused by the redhead’s
attempt at making her spontaneously combust via her eyes than
bothered. She was even grinning.
    “Now
there’s
a dangerous look. You weren’t
wearing that look the last time I saw you.”
Heather
lifted her eyes to the ceiling. “Then
again, I couldn’t
really see you all that well, since you were being supported by your
boy toy.”
    “Don’t
you dare call Kevin that!”
Lilian
spat.
    “Oh,
so you can talk. I was beginning to wonder.”
    Lilian
and Heather sat on the bleachers. Well, Heather was sitting. Lilian
stood several feet from the woman, hands clenched into fists so tight
that it was a wonder her nails hadn’t
broken the skin.
    “What
are you doing here?”
    “My
job.”
Heather
raised an eyebrow. “You
know, assistant PE coach?”
    “That’s
not what I meant and you know it!”
Lilian’s
already narrowed eyes became fierce slits. Her transformation slipped
for a second, whiskers appearing for a brief instant before
vanishing. “What
are you doing here? Are you here to try and kidnap me again? Or are
you going to try and use Kevin as a hostage like you did last time? I
swear, if you hurt even one hair on his head,
