A large mop swung out of a light blue bucket, slopping on the ground with a splat. Water leaked out of it, and as it did a sign saying SLIPPERY WATER: STAY BACK was planted firmly on the ground to mark the area. With a huff, the mop began sliding along, cleaning the area fast. As it cleaned the one who held it hummed a tune.
''Time...Rolling along with the waves, a thousand miles away.'' Quietly sang a small person, who was mopping the floor with perfect percision. The song was The Navy Song be Billy Talent of course. The singer seemed like a girl at first. Long hair held in two abnormally long ponytails, a pale and slender body which seemed almost doll-like. But it was no girl. This was a male who crossdressed all day. He wore a tube top and baggy black jeans, with a large jacket over it all. His blue eyes flared like two sparkling diamonds and one was covered in blue fire. He didn't seem to mind the fire. In fact, it was his powers causing this.
''Holding you close in the rain, remembering it like yesterday...'' He still sang in a very feminine voice. This boy held a sword strapped to his side, and there was a sling holding something small in it wrapped around him. The sling looked as if it were breathing, but the real reason was that it held a baby, which was sleeping at the moment. The baby belonged to Nobari Blackrock, the janitor of this school. Nobari happilly swung the mop over the floor again. It seemed he actually enjoyed what he was doing. The two ponytails swished along with his movements as he handled the mop without much effort now.
''I gave my life to save her. The ocean turned to red. In the fall in the fall when the tide took them all. In the fall in the fall when the tide took them all....Like lambs I watched the slaughter, good men were left for dead. In the fall in the fall when the tide took them all. In the fall in the fall when the tide took them all....I gave my life to save her, the ocean turned to red...''
Sighing he looked around. His hallways were looking much cleaner now. If he kept this up it'd be done early. Then maybe he could test out that new bazooka in the weapons class. Of course Ushio would have to be awake by then. Ushio, the small baby in the sling, made a small mew sound in his sleep. Looking down, Nobari smiled, then went back to cleaning.
It was then a random student came out of nowhere and stared down at him. Nobari looked up, frowning as he didn't like that at all. He glared. The student laughed and spoke in a musical voice.
''So what's up girl? I never saw a babe as the janitor before.'' The student laughed again. Nobari hated being called a girl. His eyes narrowed. Suddenly he lifted the mop and twirled it expertly in his hands. Raising it, he turned the mop so the handle was out and hit the man with the handle angrily. The man yelped and ran off as Nobari kicked him in the groin before going back to mopping.
''So much for the happy cheery mood....''
