Title: Mamori and the Rumours [The Musical] Part 4
Rating: K+ (Mostly for Hiruma's swearing)
Warnings: The format for this is very different from the usual sort of writing, so do read the notes below.
Summary: Mamori's been acting strange lately, causing rumours to fly everywhere in Deimon High. It doesn't help that Hiruma's been hanging around her more often now. What is the mystery behind it? And what's with all the singing?! [HiruMamo]
Disclaimers: I do not own the characters and the lyrics used here (despite the modifications). They belong to their respective owners!
Notes: This is a repost of basically the same story which I wrote on my LJ. You can read the original post
here. This one has a bit more edits but basically, just some minor modifications in this repost.
And now we're at Part 4 where a little bit of the mystery is solved, but it raises even more questions. And it's also the part where I stopped and had one of the longest breaks I've ever had in writing fanfiction. So the part after this will be new.
This part uses the song 'Rumor in St Petersburg' from the movie Anastasia. I really enjoyed writing this, but it can be really confusing as it involves a whole bunch of random students saying a lot of things at once, but hopefully you can catch up! Let me know if you still find it confusing. Anyways, if you want to hear how the song goes, you can listen to it

The next day during class break, Mamori goes to see Hiruma who is busy tapping away on his laptop. "Still fucking worried?" Hiruma asks.
Mamori merely nods. They are quiet for a moment, then Mamori abruptly stands up, blue eyes fixed on something outside of the class in the hallway.
"Oh no..." she whispers.
Hiruma looks to where Mamori is looking and sees the source of her sudden alarm. She then runs out the door and he follows her, leaving a classroom full of confused witnesses behind them.
Later on, Sena is walking through the senior class wing after having just delivered some notices to one of the teachers there. As he walks by Mamori’s class, he hears something that catches his attention:
[Random Girl Student I]
Deimon High gets so gloomy
[Random Girl Student II]
Deimon High gets so bleak!
[Random Guy Student I] (yawns)
It's getting really boring to come here all week
[All 3]
The school can get so boring if things don't go our way
[Class]
Thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day!
Hey!
[Class] (whispering to the next class with Sena in between)
Have you heard?
There's a rumor here in Deimon High
Have you heard?
What they're saying here in class?
[Random Girl Student I] (whispering to a girl from the next class)
Mamori ran out from the class
[Random Guy Student I] (whispering to a guy from the next class)
Hiruma followed very fast
[Both Classes]
There's something going on there!
[Frightened Victim of Hiruma] (shivering)
But please do not repeat!
[Students] (running down the hallway, spreading the news)
It's a rumor
A legend
A mystery
Something whispered in an alleyway
Or through a crack!
It's a rumor
That just might make history!
[Random Girl Student III]
Who would have thought that Hiruma
Would care for her so much?
[Class]
But who knew it would be Anezaki?
Sena feels a tap on his shoulder. "Sena?"
Sena jumps and whirls around to see Monta. "M-Monta! What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you!" Monta answers impatiently. "What’s everyone singing about now?"
[Random Guy Student I]
Hiruma's up to something
I know it's bad, I swear!
[Random Girl Student I]
But can you just imagine
Seeing them as a pair?
[Random Guy Student II]
Who do you think you're kidding
Hiruma is in love?
[Random Girl Student II]
With someone like Mamori
As gentle as a dove
"WHAT?" cries Monta. "That devil’s in love with my darling angel? Impossible! They’re all lying! I’m really sure they saw it all wrong! I bet Hiruma’s torturing Mamori! Sena, we have to save her!"
"But... we don’t really know what’s going on!"
"MUKYA! Does it matter? We must save Mamori!"
[Monta]
Just a rumor
A legend
A mystery
I'm sure that there is more to this than what they say
It's an outrage
All lies and
There's just no way!
That Hiruma cares for Mamori much more than I would have
We'll find the truth and set Mamori free!
Imagine what Mamori'd do when we have saved the day?
Who else could pull it off but you and me!
She'll be safe!
[Sena] (beginning to get caught up in the moment)
She'll be safe!
[Monta]
She'll be mine!
[Sena]
She'll be... (stops and stares at Monta)... what?
[Monta]
And then Deimon High will have something to talk about!
Monta makes his signature pose in the middle of the hallway, only to get stepped on by students rushing to each other, eager to hear the latest gossip. Sena sweat-drops.
[Students]
SHH!
Have you heard?
There's a rumor here in Deimon High
Have you heard?
What they're saying in the class
Hey!
[Students] (whispers and talking amongst each other)
Hey!
[Students] (whispers and talking amongst each other)
Hey!
Have you heard?
There's a rumor here in Deimon High
Have you heard?
What do you think this could be?
[Delighted Gossiper]
A fascinating mystery!
[Monta] (while still on the floor, shaking his fist)
The biggest con in history!
[Students]
Mamori and Hiruma
In love or not?
[Frightened Victim of Hiruma]
Who knows... SHHH!!
"Come on!" says Monta, getting up and pulling Sena along. "Let’s go find out before practice starts!"
"Wait just one second!" they hear someone cry. Monta and Sena turn to find Suzuna on her rollerblades skating up to them, scaring all the students out of her way.
"Why are you stopping us, Suzuna?" asks Monta. "Could it be that you’re supporting all these lies?"
"Well..." stammers Suzuna. "I... uh... That’s not the point! Break’s over! You have to get to class!"
She pushes Monta away. Sena begins to follow him, but Suzuna pulls him back and whispers, "No, come with me! We have to check on Mamo-nee and Yoi-nii!"
"Eh? Then why leave Monta out?" asks Sena, confused.
"’Cause that monkey will more than likely get in the way," Suzuna explains, as they walk out of the school and head towards the practice field.
"Wait a second! You don’t seriously think Mamori-nee-san and Hiruma-kun are-"
"Of course they are! Can’t you see it, Sena? There’s something serious going on between them!"
Sena tries to think about the possibility, but the idea of a devil and an angel getting together in a romantic sense seems impossible to him. "Seriously, I think it’s just..."
Sena never finishes the thought. Just before he and Suzuna can take the final turn to the clubhouse, they hear Mamori’s voice and stop in their tracks.
"It’s all right, Hiruma-kun. Neither of us knew it was going to turn out this way..."
"See! I told you!" Suzuna whispers triumphantly.
"But why does Mamori-nee-san sound so sad?" Sena wonders.
They peer around the corner. Hiruma is standing in front of Mamori, whose head is bowed. She appears unable to look him in the eyes as she continues speaking.
"I wish I had found out about this sooner. If I had, then this whole mess wouldn’t have happened. But I guess it can’t be helped..."
Mamori’s voice breaks and tears start to roll down her cheeks. Hiruma’s gaze is intense as he stares down at her.
"One last time, fucking Manager," he says softly yet sternly. "What do you want?"
Mamori scrubs her tears away with her arm and looks up. "I don’t want to leave!" she cries.
"That’s all I need." Hiruma states, with a sneer. Turning sharply on his heel, he strides away.
"Wait, where are you going?" Mamori calls after him, looking and sounding panicked. "You’re not seriously going to..." She starts running after him. "Hiruma-kun, wait!"
Hiruma heads straight for the school entrance with Mamori hot on his trail. Sena and Suzuna simply watch, not quite daring to follow them. When the two senpais have disappeared inside the building, the first years turn to gape at each other.
"What is Mamo-nee doing?" gasps Suzuna.
Sena’s eyes are as wide as saucers. "She’s leaving?"
