High School Horrors
Disclaimer: I don't own Tsubasa. You should know this by now, people.
A/N: This story is gonna be a bunch of little one-shots about the high school days of our favorite Tsubasa characters! It's just a random AU-type-thing. The rest will be self-explanatory!
Chapter One
Psycho Banshee Teachers
"Good morning, Kurogane!"
"Hmph." Kurogane slammed his locker and walked away from the person who had greeted him without another word.
"Oh, so you're just going to turn your back on me? You won't get away that fast!" Tomoyo chased after the dark-haired boy in front of her until she was walking beside him. Then she slowed her pace, turned her head to look at him, and smiled.
"Well, it's been a while since we've been in the same school together, huh?"
"I thought I got away from you after I went to high school," he groaned. Tomoyo had met Kurogane in her first year of middle school. He was a grade above her, so when he graduated from middle school, he'd had one peaceful year of high school without her. Or so he thought. After winter break, he'd returned to find her present in his life once again.
"Yeah, well, that's what you get for being friends with smart people; I got moved up a grade!" she chirped as she continued chasing him down the hall. Kurogane quickened his pace in order to avoid her.
Tomoyo, however, was not one to be thwarted, as she continued chasing him no matter the amount of speed he gained. Eventually he was running at top speed with the crazy girl still on his tail for some absurd reason. He had to get away from her, hoping desperately that they wouldn't have the same first-period class. Speaking of, where was his first-period class anyway? Did he even have one? Did he have a schedule somewhere? Oh, yeah, in his pocket. However, he'd have to stop running to get it and that meant the nutcase behind him would undoubtedly catch up to him.
"Kurogane Suwa!"
Kurogane froze in his steps at the voice, causing Tomoyo to crash into his back. Someone was standing in front of him. Someone that he really, really did not want to see standing in front of him.
It was Yuko Ichihara, who was somehow a teacher at the school, but never really seemed to do much teaching. As a matter of fact, Kurogane hadn't ever seen her teach in his life. Whenever he looked inside her classroom, she was always sitting on her chair with her feet up on her desk, red high heels gleaming in the light. Typically, she would be reading the horoscopes in her favorite magazine, drinking from a suspicious-looking bottle that certainly wasn't filled with orange juice.
Yuko glared at him over the rims of her red glasses, hands on her hips and a disapproving frown on her face. "Running in the hallway, you two?"
"Ah, I'm sorry Yuko-sensei," Tomoyo apologized. Yuko smiled at them, but her smile was more cruel than friendly. Kurogane knew that they were in trouble now. She removed her glasses and tucked them in the front of her shirt (which she obviously didn't plan on buttoning all the way) and stared them down. Her crimson eyes nearly matched Kurogane's in shade, but with so much wicked ferocity he felt as though he barely compared to the sadistic insanity that was Yuko.
"Well, well, looks like we'll have an interesting time in detention tonight, you two," Yuko said, pulling two detention slips and a pen out of nowhere and filling them out in her curly handwriting. She handed one to each of them. "Don't be late now," she trilled before walking off down the hallway in the direction of the teacher's lounge where she planned on painting her nails bright red during the time she was supposed to be teaching her first period class.
Kurogane sighed. Great, detention, and on the very first day back from break. He glanced at Tomoyo, who was being strangely silent. The short girl was staring blankly at the detention, fingering the hem of her skirt anxiously. "Something up?" he asked her.
She looked down at her feet and nervously and then glanced back up at him. "Well… I've never gotten a detention before," she said.
He smirked. "I get 'em all the time, you know. That psycho banshee woman seems to enjoy giving me detentions." Tomoyo smiled a little.
"What psycho banshee woman, exactly?" Yuko poked her head around the corner, her eyebrows raised.
Kurogane jumped about a foot in the air. "AGH! How did you DO that!"
"This floor of the school is a square, Suwa-san," Yuko said, drawing the shape in the air with her fingertip. "I left my nail polish in my classroom, so I came around this way to get it and heard your rather… interesting conversation. So, who is this psycho banshee woman?"
"Never mind," Kurogane said wearily.
"Get to class, you two," Yuko ordered.
"C'mon, Daitouji-chan, where's your first class?" Kurogane started walking, hoping to escape the madwoman.
"Tomoyo-chan, if you please, you don't have to call me by my last name," she said, "and my first class is Chemistry."
"What a coincidence, so is mine," Kurogane said, ignoring someone yelling something about 'there is only inevitability' from down the hall. "It's this way," he said, Tomoyo trailing behind him as he walked down the hall to his first class.
xXx
That afternoon, Kurogane and Tomoyo walked through the door of Yuko's classroom to meet their fate. "Just take a seat somewhere, children," Yuko said, not looking up from painting her nails. She'd nearly finished one hand that morning when the principal, Clow, had requested her presence in his office. What exactly they had been doing in his office, no one knew. And no one wanted to know.
Kurogane sat down and dropped his bag next to his chair. Tomoyo daintily placed herself in the seat next to his. "So, what are we going to do?" she whispered to him. Apparently Yuko heard their conversation. She spun around and placed her feet on the desk once again.
"Well, I could have you actually do something, but you two entertain me, so I'll let you do what you like," she said. Kurogane felt his skin crawl at the words 'entertain me'. What exactly did that mean?
Tomoyo fidgeted in her seat.
"So, you're new here, Daitouji-san?"
Tomoyo nodded. "I got moved up a grade after winter break," she explained.
"You must have gone to the same middle school as Suwa-kun, then, correct?" Yuko asked.
"Yep! He just can't seem to stay away from me for long!" Tomoyo laughed. Kurogane rolled his eyes.
"Wish I could," he muttered.
"That's an awful thing to wish!" Yuko scolded. "Tomoyo-chan seems to be a very nice girl, and you shouldn't say mean things about her."
"She's nearly as crazy as you," Kurogane sighed.
"Well, good, so long as I'm still the craziest," Yuko said nonchalantly, blowing on her nails to dry them. Tomoyo smiled. She liked this teacher much more than she had earlier this morning. Kurogane groaned. Tomoyo and Yuko joining forces would equal more trouble for him than ever before.
Who needs two crazy women in their life?
And, first chapter done! I think Tomoyo and Yuko would be good friends~! They would also annoy the heck out of Kuro, which will be extremely entertaining.
