Japan Here We Go
"Ah! We're finally here!" I said as I turned stretching to Savana, as we got off the plane after spending the last twelve hours sitting in the same seat. Savana is a really good friend of my, we met three years ago. It was a random meeting of fate that led me to the group that I am now a part of. Unfortunately the group is split at this time, with two of us here in Japan and the rest still in Washington State. Savana happened to be the second smallest in the group, with reddish- blond shoulder-blade length hair that was hanging down in her face.
Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maureen; I am a seventeen year old high school student who has just recently transferred school. With my friend Savana (aka, vana or Kiraya) we have traveled to Japan to study abroad for our senior year of high school. We left our friends back in America where they will continue school; Amanda (aka Aura) is the smallest of the group, with mousey brown hair and a cute personality that goes with her hair, and Ryan (aka Ryry) is the middle height in the group with the shortest hair that is styled with curls in the back and straight hair in the front, and finally we have Kristina (aka Taco or Tina) the unofficial leader of our group, she is the same height as me with long blond hair that is normally pulled into a ponytail.
And so here we are standing in the terminal of the Tokyo International Airport waiting for our luggage, after we spent the last hour searching for the damn baggage claim area. Who knew that an airport could be so large?
Anyway, we eventually found all the luggage we brought and headed outside to see if we could grab a taxi to our new homes that we are going to be spending the next year living at. You see the only way that we could travel abroad for our senior year was to go through a foreign exchange program, so we ended up placed in two different homes but we figured that we could at least split a taxi. I mean we are going to the same school so we should be living close together, right?
Turning to Kiraya I cocked my head to the side as I asked, "Do you remember what day we were supposed to go to the school for our first day?"
"Um… I think it was tomorrow, but let me check." Kiraya responded as she dug through her backpack. Pulling out a sheet of paper that had the schedule of our classes, address of the school, and the day that we were to attend for our first day of school. "Oh! Crap, we're supposed to be at the school in," she said pausing mid sentence to check her watch for the time. "half-an-hour from now."
"Shit!" letting out a large sigh I look up at the sky contemplating our luck at scheduling the trip so that it left no time for jet-lag. "Well I guess we'll just have to go to the school straight from here and meet up with our host families later."
With a nod from Kiraya, we load into the taxi that pulled up in front of us as we were checking our things. We each had a backpack; well I had a messenger bag while Kiraya had the regular backpack, as well as one suit case each. Once everything was stored away in the trunk of the taxi Kiraya gave the taxi cab driver the address for the school that we were going to be enrolled at.
The school was Momo's All Girls Academy. It's this average school that sounded like it would be fun to attend, at least that's what we thought when we applied to the school online. It was interesting how the schools in Japan had the students test into the schools that they wanted to go to, instead of the way that we are used to. The American way, which is that there are a certain number of schools in the area, and which school you attended depended on what area code you, lived in.
The cab ride wasn't that long, but then again we were both trying not to fall asleep in the back seat. It was difficult because we were exhausted from being awake for almost a twenty-four hour period. The time difference wasn't helping much either. So when we pulled up to the school we were about ten minutes late to our appointment with the Head teacher of the school.
"Crap, we're late." I said looking at my watch. "Vana how much is the cab fair?" I asked as I came around the back to help unload our stuff.
"Um… I don't know let me ask." She said after she moved her stuff over to the sidewalk and shouldered her purse along with her backpack. "Sumimasen, how much do I owe you?" she asked in uneven Japanese. (A/N italics in speaking will be Japanese for now but will change later.)
"Oh, it's1490 yen." The cab driver said without looking up.
"Eh. 1490 yen!? So much!" Vana said in disbelief when she found out the cost.
"How much is it Vana?" I asked coming around to find out what she was freaking out about.
"1490 yen."
"We'll just split it. Between the two of us. No big deal." I said pulling out the cash that was needed to pay for the fair. "Hi dozo." I said as I handed the money to the cabbie. Vana pulled out her cash and handed off her share, then we headed inside the school grounds to find out what class we were going to be placed in.
We wandered inside the large main building, looking for the main teacher office. "If I was the teacher office where would I be?" I asked out loud to no one in particular.
"Hey maybe it's upstairs." Vana suggested after reading some of the signs that were hanging around in the hallway.
"No. it's got to be on the first floor. Let's just take a look around and see if we can find it. If not we could always go up to the next floor."
"True." Vana said in agreement with me. So we spent the next five minutes wandering around the first floor before we came across the teacher office. "Excuse me. Is this the teachers office?" Vana asked in Japanese to get the teachers attention as we entered the room.
"Yes it is. What can I do for you?" one of the teachers said without looking up from what they were doing. The teacher was a man with glasses and short hair, with an average build for the Asian man.
"Yes. We are the transfer students from America." Vana replied while Maureen stood off to the side yawning and trying not to look completely bored.
"Ah yes, we have been waiting for you to arrive. If you will just wait one minute we will get you introduced to your homeroom teacher and have you on your way." The man said as he started to stand and address the two girls that where standing in front of his desk. When he looked up he was surprised to find not two girls in uniforms but two teenagers in baggy street clothing that looked nothing like what a "proper" young lady should be wearing. The teen that had addressed him was the shorter of the two with reddish-blond hair with what appeared to be sky blue streaks. It was difficult to tell due to the teen having a hood covering most of their head. The first teen was also wearing what appeared to be jeans that had holes in them and a pair of sneakers that looked like they had seen better days.
The second teen was standing just behind the first and appeared to be bored to tears, if the water around the eye's was anything to go by. This teen was wearing a red ball-cap over brown hair with blond and orange streaks in it. The cut was shorter than the first teen's and it hung in its owners face. This teen hand on similar jeans with holes in them but instead of sneakers this teen had on black combat boots that were laced up over the bottom of the jeans. To go along with the jeans and boots the teen hand on a black sweat-shirt that was partially unzipped, revealing the layered tank top and long sleeve shirt combination that was underneath. The tank top was a deep red that went with the ball-cap that the teen was wearing, while the long sleeve shirt was a plain black shirt with some silver highlights on the shoulder.
"Are you Savana and Maureen?" the man asked after pausing to observe myself and Vana. It was kind of annoying to have someone trip over the pronunciation of your name, but hey such is life. Vana and I acknowledge his statement with a nod of our heads, but we became concerned when he just turned and left us standing there without a backwards glance.
"Something's up." I said turning to Vana, I had a feeling that we weren't going to like what was going to come. It was one of those bad feelings that you get in the pit of your stomach, that nagging voice in the back of your head that just won't leave you alone. It was one of those feelings that took hold of me when the teacher left us standing in front of his desk and returned with not one but six different teachers in tow. "We're f'ed." I said with a sigh to show that I was resigned to what was to come but that did not mean that I liked it.
"Um" was all the response that I got from Vana, along with a nod to show she heard and agreed with my statement.
While the two of us stood there and contemplated the wonders of the cosmos, not really but we were waiting for the pin to drop, when one of the older gentlemen of the group stepped forward and addressed us. We only got part of the conversation that was happening between the teachers and the chair man of the school, it basically went like this:
"Hello. I am the Chairmen of Momo Academe." This bit was said to us. After this point all that was said happened between the teachers. It was obvious that it was pertaining to the two of us, but our Japanese wasn't as good as it should have been so we only got parts of the conversation. What we did understand was that they, as in the administration, thought that myself and Vana were boy's trying to get into the all girls school for whatever reason. And that we would have to be transferred into a different school. As well as notifying the new school to our "devious" plans to damage their schools reputation. Ha. As if we would waste our time on that.
With their course of action decided on the chairman turned to address us, "There seemed to have been a mistake in your transfer information. It seems that you accidentally applied for the wrong school. Luckily I was able to contact the Chairman of Akado Academe and she is willing to take on two transfer students. So if you will just follow me I will lead you to the school and help get everything straightened out." With a quick smile in our direction the man turned and left the room. A quick glance around showed that we are supposed to follow this man out to who knows where.
Gathering our stuff from the floor where we dropped them, we followed the "Chairman" down the hall and out of the school. As we were leaving some of the earlier students were starting to show up. "So where do you think he is taking us?" Vana asked once we had left the school grounds and started up the way towards a park with tree lined walk ways and a large fountain in the center.
I just gave a shrug to show that I didn't know. As we traveled down the way heading in the direction of what I could only guess was another school, I decided that now was as good a time as any to zone out and listen to my music. So pulling out my head phones that were an orange color I put one ear piece in and let the other hang. I turned on Cold- by Crossfade- and started to nod my head in time with the song, while mouthing the words.
At some point in our walk I closed my eyes and was being led around by Vana, I had a hold of her bag so I would know when she stopped or took a turn. When we stopped the second time Vana turned around and tapped me on the shoulder while saying, "You can open your eyes now."
With an exaggerated sigh I opened my eyes and noticed that the building that we were standing in front of was slightly larger than the one at Momo Academe. I whistled as I walked up the stairs to go inside, I stopped when I heard an, "Um… Momo, a little help here, please?" coming from behind me.
"Yeah sure." I said once I turned around and noticed that Kiraya was standing at the bottom to the stairs leading inside holding her bags, looking like a lost puppy. With a laugh I dropped my duffle bag and headed back down the stairs to help her bring her bags up the stairs. I reach for and carried up the largest of her bags. By the time I reached the top of the stair case, which was only six steps mind you, I was completely out of breath.
"What the hell do you have in this thing?" I asked as I reached down to unzip the top of the bag to see what was inside.
"Books." Was the chipper reply that I got from Vana. Rolling my eyes I shouldered my bags and made my way into the school. Inside was almost as empty as Momo was when we showed up, but there were a few students wandering in the halls. Each time we passed one of them they would stop and stare as we walked by. Half-way down the hall there was a little turn off that lead into the teacher room and the man that we were following headed inside the room.
"Well here we go again."
"Yep. Let's hope we can actually find a place to sleep. I'm dead on my feet." With a sigh the two of us headed inside the room to be confronted by a staff of male and one female teacher. As we trudged inside the room with all of our things the Chairman of Momo Academe was in a heated disruption with a tall man that looked like a rat with his hair styled up and the glasses that he had on. "Look, it's the rat man come to life." I said, trying to make the day a little more bearable by being in a good mood.
On the other side of the room:
"These two students have just transferred from America to Momo Academe and when they showed up we hadn't realized that they were boys. So I would like to have them transferred to this school, instead. I have already spoken to the Chairman and she has agreed to take them on." The Chairman of Momo Academe said in a rush as he spoke to the Head Teacher.
"But sir. We have no openings in any of our class rooms." Head Teacher tried to explain to the Chairman of Momo. As the two of them where fighting over whether or not it was appropriate to have transfer students in an already full class, when the two students that they were talking about walked into the room. The Chairman and Head teacher took no notice but one of the other teachers saw them and butted into the conversation that the two were having.
"There's room in 3-D, Sawatori" The man intoned in the conversation. The Head teacher turned to tell him that they can't put respectable students in that class, but the teacher just pointed over to the two students that were standing in the door way.
"Yes there is room in 3-D." Sawatori said as he turned back from looking at the students to the chairman of Momo Academe. With a smile the Chairman handed over the girl's information and walked out of the school back to Momo Academe, to finish getting ready for the day.
Once the chairman of Momo Academe had left Sawatori, the Head teacher, and the man that had interrupted his conversation, made their way over to the two students. "Hello. Yajima-sensei will take you to the classroom." Sawatori said in heavily accented English. The two girls nodded their heads together and waited for him to lead the way.
As they headed out of the room Momo turned to Kiraya and whispered, "Ne. he looks like he is choking on something."
"That or he is trying to impersonate a frog." Kiraya whispered back, causing to the two girls to break out into giggles. When they rounded the corner and realized that the "frog man" as the two had dubbed him, had gone up the stairs that were now in front of them. "Not stairs, again." Kiraya whined when she saw the stair case.
"I am not lugging your heavy ass suit case up the stairs. Absolutely not!" Momo said to the look that Kiraya was giving her.
"Onegai!" Kiraya said with her hands in prayer position, as she put her lip out in a pouting face.
"No."
"Fine. But I don't want to carry my bag up the stairs either."
"Well shouldn't we be able to leave them down in the teachers' area?"
"Don't know should we ask?"
"Why not." Momo replied with a shrug of her shoulders. "Um…excuse me Yajima-sensei." Momo called up the stairs to the teacher that had seemed to keep going, without realizing that they weren't following.
As he came back down the stairs the two girls had a quick, "you do it." "No, you do it," fight over who was going to ask where to put their luggage until school was over. The fight was settled by rock-paper-scissors.
"Yes?" Yajima said as he finally came within hearing distance of the two trouble makers that couldn't even follow the simplest of instructions and just follow him up the stairs.
"Um… where do we put our…" Kiraya tailed off gesturing to the bags that were gathered up behind them. Yajima looked behind the two to see what the short one was waving at. When he saw the bags he gave a huff of exasperation and led the two back down the hall to the teachers' office, where he had them place their bags in a corner out of the way. He then led them back out of the office and up two flights of stairs to the third floor. Down the hall to an area that was littered with graffiti and trash.
"This is your new classroom." With a sweeping gesture he pulled the door open. Inside was complete and utter chaos. All of the desk had been pushed to the edges of the room so the middle was clear and open. Most of the class was standing and sitting on the desk in the back of the room, while a handful of students where in the middle fighting one-on-one. With a quick, "Wait here." Yajima hurried out of the hallway and back to the teachers' offices to get help, to deal with the fight.
Momo and Kiraya looked at each other and gave a shrug, before they walked into the classroom and skirted the perimeter of the room to find a spot to sit at. No one in the room took notice of the two as they sat down in the far corner of the room. The two had just settled in, when the door burst open and the "frog man," Head teacher and a female teacher that they had never seen before, all came rushing into the room. With shouts of "Stop it." And such sounded in the room, the female teacher rushed in to the fight trying to get the individuals to break up their fights.
She was pushed into the desk that the students were sitting on, and then pushed a second time to the floor in the front of the room. She landed on the raise platform that the podium was placed on. With a growled, "You guys." She leapt on to the podium and shouted at the class. "If you want to fight so badly, then I'll take you all on. Let's go outside."
All Momo and Kiraya got was "outside" and the fact that the entire class had gone silent made them pay attention to what was going on around them, instead of their plan to fall asleep.
They watched as the teacher got down off the podium and turned around. The teacher slowly turned around; once she was facing the front the girl's got their first good look at her. She was a relatively short woman with her hair pulled into pig-tails and thin whir-framed glasses that had an oval shape to them. Her face was a heart shaped with her black eyes and thin eyebrows. It was odd to see a teacher dressed in a blue and black jersey, instead of the nice suits that most high school teachers wear.
Kiraya leaned over to Momo and asked, "Who do you think that is?" Momo just gave a shrug in response to the question as she watched the boy's that had been fighting crawl back away from the women. When she repeated "outside" a second time and then started to go "Ow...ow...ow…ow" while reaching for her foot. The girls looked at each other and started to laugh at how ridiculous it was for a teacher to scare a bunch of students. That and it seemed as if the teacher was trying to cover up for something, not that they cared but it made for something to keep them entertained for a little while longer.
Momo and Kiraya's laughter caused the rest of the class to whip about to see where the laughter was coming from. When they spotted two people in the back of the room, one thought crossed everyone's mind at the same time. "Who are they?"
The girl's stopped their laughter when they noticed every eye in the room on the. Momo leaned over to Kiraya and griped her arm as she hid behind it saying, "Scary." This caused Kiraya to go into another fit of laughter, which in turn caused Momo to start laughing again.
The two only stopped when one of the boys in the class grew impatient with their uncontrollable laughter. He sniped out, "Who are you?"
The two looked up as they were wiping tears from their eyes. As they came back to themselves the two stood up and bowed together as Kiraya replied, "We are your new class mates."
When the two righted themselves they struck a pose, with their fingers in a peace sigh, while they said at the same time, "Yoroshiku." The class was in a shocked silence as they stared at the two strangers, correction, their two new class mates. One of the boys turned to another and smacked him on the arm while saying, "Why didn't we know about this before?"
The boy responded by giving a shrug to show that he didn't know. The first just glared at the boy. "Gomen, Ren." Was all the response that Ren received from the abused class mate. Ren was sitting towards the back of the room; he had black hair with blond streaks towards the front of his face with one side pulled back into rows off his face. He had on the regular school uniform, with add-on's in the form of red and purple lining on the inside and edging the rest of the uniform, with black pants and black combat-boots that he tucked his pants into.
On the opposite side of the room from Ren was another student with light brown hair that is curled at the edges to frame his face. He had on the uniform of black jacket with black pants but he had on a black shirt with a design done in gold on. He turned to the two boys that were sitting next to him. One was a tall boy with short dyed blond hair and the other was an average height boy with soft black hair that had a mix of light and dark brown high-lights. The boy with the light brown hair turned to the other two and asked, "Did you know about this." When he received shacks of their heads in the negative and a "No we didn't Yamato," he turned a focused his attention on the two sitting in the corner.
While the class was interrogating each other trying to figure out who knew any information on the two new students, said students were sitting in the corner laughing quietly to themselves' at how funny the class was. When the girls started to make comments to each other regarding the boy's in their class the Head teacher and Yajima-sensei made their way over to the two of them.
"I thought I told you to wait in the hallway." Yajima-sensei started off berating the two girls. Momo looked up and cocked her head to the side and just stared at the man that was interrupting her conversation.
"So?"
"You are to give respect to your teachers!" Head teacher Sawatori started off with for his rant about prober behavior for the new students. When the taller of the two stood up and gave him a look that shut him up in the middle of his sentence.
"I don't care." Was the only reply that Sawatori got for his efforts to berate the two new students.
"That is not how you talk to teachers." Yajima-sensei started off only to get interrupted by the female teacher.
"Excuse me. I have yet to introduce myself. I am Yamaguchi Kumiko. I will be your homeroom teacher. Yoroshiku." Yamaguchi-sensei said to help dispel any tension in the room.
"Nice to meet you." Kiraya said trying to catch Momo's eye to help distract her.
"How about you tell us something about your selves." Yamaguchi-sensei suggested. Kiraya nodded her agreement, but had to elbow Momo to get her attention. She was having a stare down with the Head teacher, but the elbow in her side got her attention, right quick.
"Ow! What the hell, Kiraya?" Momo said rubbing her side as she glared at her friend, who just shrugged and walked towards the front of the class. Heaving a sigh Momo followed her up to the front of the class and stood there looking bored.
While Momo and Kiraya made their way to the front, Yamaguchi-sensei ushered the other two teachers out of the room with promises that it will never happen again. Once they had left she turned back to the class and looked at the information provided about the two new students.
Their grades were good enough to get them into the 3-A class and their track record with being to class on time and skipping was non-existent. So as she introduced the two students she was trying to figure out what would cause the Head teacher to place them in this class, when they obviously belong in a different one.
"Ok. We have Savana and Maruen. They are from America." Yamaguchi-sensei said as she wrote their names down on the board. "Do you have any questions for them?" She asked as she turned around.
Immediately the class erupted into a loud chorus of sound, as everyone in the class started talking at once. "Holly hell." Momo said as the sound caused the receding headache to come back to the forefront. "SHUT UP!" She yelled out over the top of everyone. Rubbing her head she enjoyed the quick silence that followed. Muttering under her breath she looked over at Kiraya as to say, "I blame you for the pain that I am currently in."
Kiraya just ignored the look that she was receiving from Momo and directed her attention to the class that was waiting for some sort of response. Clearing her throat she removed her hoodie to reveal her blond and sky blue hair to the rest of the class as she began to introduce herself. "Um…I am called Kiraya by my friends. Um…" She scratched the back of her head as she tried to recall how to say certain things in Japanese. "Um…yah. I'm just gonna switch to English here. I like to write and this is really confusing for you. So…yeah. I'm just gonna shut up now."
Kiraya babbled in English for about, oh, ten seconds before she decided to shut up, while talking with her hands. About half-way through her short speech Momo had started to laugh at her friend behind her hand to hide her mirth. When Kiraya came to a stop she turned and gave a pointed look at Momo, who unable to hide her mirth started to laugh in earnest.
"Ok, ok. Geez fine be a kill joy." Momo said when Kiraya just crossed her arms over her chest and continued to give her a look that said, "get on with it."
"I'm Maureen. My nickname is Urufu. I like many things…" Momo trailed off not really knowing how to finish up, so she decided to take a page out of Kiraya's book and switched into English just to be a cheeky bastard. "So yeah. Well other than to give you the story of my life that's all I got and I 'ant got no more." Then she gave them all a smile and a little two finger wave.
With that they turned to each other and gave a bow. When they straightened out they said, "Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." Then the class watched as the two "odd" new students went back to the seats that they had been sitting in.
"Alright class! Move the desk back to where they belong." Yamaguchi-sensei said as she set about reorganizing her papers in the front of the room. With lots of grumbling and groaning the boy's started to move about and rearrange the room so that it was back to normal. There was only minimal pushing as a few people got in the way of another.
Ren and Yamato had been sitting back and watching as all of the drama unfolded in the class, but as the class was being moved back into place they got up to get back into their seats. Ren made his way towards the new students, "Kiraya and Urufu? Was that their names?" he thought to himself as he neared the area that his desk belonged in, only to arrive and have no desk. "Where is my desk?" He thought as he looked around trying to locate his desk.
On the other side of the room Yamato had headed back towards his desk only to realize that it was not where it normally was. "That's odd." Yamato said out loud, catching the attention of his two friends, Honjo Kengo and Kamiya Shunsuke.
"What's odd?" Honjo asked as he sat down.
"My desk is gone." Yamato looked out across the room as everyone started to take their seats and go back to what they normally do in the mornings. As his eye's traveled across the room he noticed that Kazama Ren had yet to sit down. 'Hm… he's planning something.' He thought as he watched Ren look around the room, he seemed to be searching for something.
"Hell! YEAH! I knew there was a reason I like school." Momo yelled out while removing her hat to let her hair hang down in her face, quickly followed by a, "Yes internet!!! My life is saved." From Kiraya who had pulled out a lab-top from one of the four bag that surrounded their desks. Their cries of joy drew the attention of everyone in the room. The two looked up when they notice that they had all the eyes of the class on them again.
"Ha ha ha. Sumimasen." The two said before they went back to their lab-top trying to ignore the looks they were receiving from everyone. Ren and Yamato both focused in on the desk that the two were sitting in, they looked oddly familiar.
"OH!" Both Ren and Yamato said at the same time when they realized that the reason that the desk look so familiar is because they are their desk. With narrowed eyes they made their way towards the new students, they were so set on what they were doing that neither noticed that they looked similar to each other at the time. They acted as if they had been friends for years and were playing off of each other's moods and actions.
Ren reached the girls first and stood there waiting to be noticed. By the time that the two noticed Ren standing there Yamato had reached them and placed his hands on the desk and leaned over to make sure he had their attention. "Get up and move." Yamato said once Momo looked up.
"Excuse me?" Momo said, cocking her head to the side. She was annoyed that someone would come over and demand that she get up. "Can I help you?" she asked narrowing her eyes in a defiant move.
"You can move." Was the response that she received from the young man standing in front of her.
"Why?"
"…" Yamato just narrowed his eyes at the annoying thing sitting in front of him. When he realized that the person he had been yelling at wasn't the one actually sitting in his seat. Turning to address the actual person that is sitting in his seat. "You're in my seat."
"Huh?" Momo said as she noticed that the young man was now ignoring her after demanding that she move without an explanation. "What the hell? You did not just demand that I move and then ignore me! You did not!!!" She yelled standing up to get a better angle to poke him in the chest. "Just do that!" She finished with a painful poke to the right shoulder of Yamato.
Ren was standing off to the side watching as this weird person got up and started to yell at Yamato. When the student stood up he noticed that they had been sitting in his chair. So instead of getting in a fight he decided to just take the chair back and get the desk later or maybe when Yamato and the other stopped yelling.
Kiraya looked up as Momo stood up snapping at someone in front of her. When she noticed that Momo was yelling at him for saying something to her, she let out a groan and let her head fall onto her folded arms. "Momo, stop." She said as she looked up with an exasperated look on her face. "Can we not cause a problem today? And just focus on watching the drama, please."
"No. Absolutely not. It's stupid to have to deal with this crap when we haven't even been here a whole day yet." Momo replied to Kiraya, but once she noticed the look on her face she sighed and decided to let it go today. "Fine, whatever."
Turning around to take a seat and ignore the person standing in front of them she noticed that her chair was missing. "What the hell." Looking around she noticed that there was a boy sitting next to two others and didn't have a desk but had a chair. "Oh for the love of…" Momo said in exasperation as she made her way over to the boy.
"Can I have the chair…back…Onegaishimasu?" she asked standing right in front of him. The class went dead silent as she stood there, waiting for the boy to react to what she had asked.
"Huh?!" He said as he stood up to get into her face. He was trying to intimidate her into letting the subject go, but American women don't get intimidated that easily. So Momo just let out a large sigh as she looked up at him and asked again for the chair back.
Ren stared at this boy who would not back down, 'I mean what the hell? He was one of the most feared students at Akado Academe, so everyone should back down without a fight, right? Well everyone but that damn Ogata Yamato, but this short little boy should be afraid and trembling in his shoes. What the hell was going on?'
While Ren was having his inner breakdown, Momo waved her hand in front of his face to get his attention when he started to space out. "Hello?" With a shrug and a soft snort, she moved around him and grabbed the chair that she had been using and moved back over to Vana and sat down to watch the new drama that they had started last week.
When Momo went to find her chair, Yamato had yet to leave, so he focused his attention on the person sitting not only in front of him but in his seat. He had barely spared a glance for the "loud mouth" as he had dubbed Momo in his mind, when Kiraya had spoken up. The voice of the creature sitting down was light and soft, just above a whisper.
Kiraya vaguely noticed that Momo had left so she just dived right back into pulling up the Hana Yori Dango episode that they were on. After she pulled the episode up on the page she glanced up to see where Momo disappeared to. When she looked up she spotted Yamato, her thoughts were around how tall he was and how elegant he looked standing there waiting to be addressed. "Um…can I help you?" Kiraya asked in a soft voice, she was unsure about what he wanted.
Yamato just stood there; he seemed to be transfixed on the voice that had just spoken. Honjo Kengo watched as the second darker haired transfer student walk back over to the desk that he had been sitting in and sit. He also watched as Yamato looked like he could use some help.
"Hey, look Yamato seems to be in need of assistance." Honjo said to his friend Kamiya, who was sitting next to him talking to one of the other students in the class.
"Yeah he does. Should we go help?" Kamiya asked as he took in the situation over on the other side of the room. With a nod in response Honjo and Kamiya made their way over to Yamato to see if they could help their friend get his desk back.
As Honjo and Kamiya walked over to that side of the room Ren snapped out of his stupor when he tried to sit down only to not have a chair to sit in. Ren quickly got off the floor with his eyes snapping around to see if anyone had notice his little fall, unfortunately his friends had. Both Ichimura and Kuraki were laughing behind their hands at their friend when had fallen and tried to cover up their laughter when Ren noticed them laughing.
"Shut up." Ren said to hide his embarrassment at having fallen over. His comment didn't stop his friends' laughter; instead it caused them to laugh out loud at him instead. With a scowl on his face, he turned his attention back to the only person, besides Yamato, that could cause him this much trouble. To find that the transfer student did indeed have his chair back and was once again sitting in it, much to his cardigan. "Come on." Ren said as he walked back over to the two, his friends following behind.
Momo looked up when she noticed that the class had gone silent again, 'Does this happen all the time. Or is it just an odd occurrence when new students are around?' she thought to herself while looking around to find the source of the quite. Just then she noticed that the boy that stole her chair was back or at least making his way back to where she was sitting. 'I don't' care how hot he is. If he tries to steal my chair one more time, it's a beat-down for him. Wait did I just think he was hot? What the hell?'
With a large sigh she dropped her head to the desk and let out a groan. Kiraya looked over at Momo when she heard a loud thump from her direction. "What are you doing?" Kiraya asked, but all she got in response was Momo pointing a finger over her head in the direction of the boy with blond steaks in his hair. "So why are you banging your head on the desk?" Kiraya asked with an eyebrow raised in question.
"Cuz I can?" Momo said as she raised her head while tilting it to the side in a questioning manner, with a smile that seemed to say, "I'm innocent."
"Whatever." Vana said as she shook her head turning back to her computer, still ignoring Yamato who had been trying to get her attention for the last two minutes.
Momo glanced over at Ren and crew as they came to a stop next to her again, "Yes?" she asked with a tilt of her head to show that it was a question. When she got a stare as a response she shook her head and went to move her bag when she noticed that there was writing on the desk that she was using. 'What the hell.' Was the thought that crossed her mind as she looked at the writing. As she looked at it she noticed that it looked like a name had been… "Ah."
"Um…what is your name again?" Momo asked looking over at Yamato.
"Huh…?"
"What is your name?" Momo articulated each word to make sure she was getting her question across.
"Ogata Yamato."
Momo screwed her face up in thinking manner, 'So he's not Ka…za…ma…Ren? Well who is.' Her inner dialog was interrupted by the voice in the back of her head. 'You should ask the hottie. You know the one with the blond steaks.' (Insert suggestive wink here.)
"Are you Kazama Ren?" She asked turning to the hottie with the blond steaks.
"Um." Was the affirmative response that she received from the boy?
"Oops." Momo said as she looked back down with a look that said, 'oh crap!'
"Oops, what?" Vana said turning to her friend when she looked like she was guilty of doing something wrong. "What did you do now?"
"Nothing." Momo said a little too quickly. Thinking of something she turned to Vana and said in a bit of an ordering voice while ignoring the look she was receiving from her. "Hey move your stuff."
"What? Why?"
"Come on, just movie them for a second." Using hand motions to help urge her friend to move a little faster. Once Vana had removed her laptop from the desk, Momo stood and leaned over her desk to see the top of Vanas'. "Damn. Um…Vana I think we're sitting in their seats." She gave her friend an 'I'm sorry' look, as she addressed the six boys standing around them.
"Um…these are yours right?" She asked gesturing to the desk separating them. Both boys nodded their heads but didn't say anything; they were waiting to see what she would do.
Momo just nodded her head as if she expected that was going to be their response. "I thought so. Sumimasen." She added a bow on at the end to show that she really was sorry. Then she turned to Vana and started to gather up their stuff to move to a different area in the class.
Vana looked at the desk and then back at the two boys that were looking at them oddly. "Hontoni Sumimasen." She added on and then grabbed her laptop case and computer and moved to follow Momo to the little platform thing in the back of the room. Where they both set up shop and settled in to ignore the rest of the class.
Ren and Yamato looked at each other and then moved off to their respected sides without another word or look passed between the two. While they may not have voiced what they were thinking, they both had the same thought running through their minds; 'that was really strange. Why do I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen?' Shrugging the feeling off the two went on with their day as if nothing had happened.
