"Sousuke Sagara!" came a screeching voice

"Yes Chidori?" was the reply

"Why, might I ask are the lockers lying in a smouldering heap...again?"

"Well you see Chidori I found something wrong with my locker again so I..."

SMACK!

Yes it was an average morning at Jindai High School. War nut Sousuke Sagara had once again been caught blowing something up by Class Rep Kaname Chidori. As the smoke cleared and the full extent of the damage could be surveyed Sousuke could be found lying on the floor with a rather nasty lump on his head while Chidori stands nearby holding a paper fan and apologising to everyone with in the immediate vicinity.

"Gee, Sousuke." she sighs once they'd finally made their way to class "When are you going to stop jumping to conclusions and exploding things?"

"When I am certain that this school is secure from any potential threat." replied Sousuke confidently

"What threat could there possible be?" asked Chidori making a face "Japan is a peaceful country there are no terrorists here. Will you please hurry up and get that through your thick skull."

"Students pay attention please." came the voice of their teacher which thankfully stopped Sousuke's idiotic reply "Thankyou, now we have a new student to the school today. Please welcome 16 year old Masataka Suzuhara."

The teacher gestured to the boy standing next to her. He had shortish black hair that looked like it had never even seen a brush but even so sat on his head in a way that looked reasonable neat. His hair reminded Chidori of Sousuke's except it was black and slightly longer. His eyes were violet and his face seemed to have a permanent calm look as if everything bored him. He was also quite tall, with from first glance a rather slim build but then again it could have been the baggy school shirt. As soon as Suzuhara had appeared the girls had all blushed and looked down at their laps. For the most part Chidori tried to ignore it seeing as to her it was childish. So what if the guy was good looking it didn't mean that all the girls had to start blushing like junior high students.

"I hope you will make Masataka feel welcome and Sagara!"

"Yes mam?" said Sousuke standing up

"I don't want you to show Mr. Suzuhara your violent, dangerous, and skewed perspective of the world. Am I understood?"

"Yes mam I will try my best." replied Sousuke

"Teacher?"

"Yes Mr. Suzuhara?"

"He can't really be all that bad can he?" asked Masataka a look of doubt on his face

"You have no idea." replied the teacher with a sigh "I would suggest, for your own safety, to stay far away from Sagara."

"Very well teacher if you think that would be best." replied Suzuhara before going to sit down in the only spare chair, right next to Sousuke, but chose not to say anything to his current seating neighbour.

When lunchtime finally rolled around Chidori was well and ready to eat and relax until their next class. Sousuke was accompanying her as usual but kept following Suzuhara with his eyes whenever the boy appeared

"What is your problem?" asked Chidori finally "You keep looking at that new kid and it's getting on my nerves. What's going on."

"Well he is new here." replied Sousuke "I simply want to make sure he's not a threat to the school. He could be a terrorist spy or something."

"Who in their right mind would send a spy to a high school?"

"I'm here?" replied Sousuke as though that immediately meant that other like him would be at the school too

"Yeah but you're here to protect me." said Chidori

"True, which means that if he's here to kidnap you or cause you harm then I must defend you." said Sousuke

"You take your job far to seriously." sighed Chidori

The rest of the day past without anything remotely interesting happening. Suzuhara didn't speak to anyone unless he was answering a teachers question and he didn't seem interested in anything or anyone at the school. By the end of the day Sousuke had come to the conclusion that was suspicious and that Suzuhara was some kind or terrorist there to kidnap Chidori. Chidori on the other thought Sousuke was out of his mind and in the end whapped him over the head with her fan

"Will you stop it! It's his first day at school, he's probably really nervous and shy. And here you are concocting an evil conspiracy theory as to his 'real motive'. The leave the poor guy alone!"

"But Chidori,..."

WHAP!

"No!" screamed Chidori before leaving for home. Sousuke sighed convinced that Chidori was taking things to lightly.

A week later and Suzuhara still had not spoken to anyone or made any attempt at making friends. The teachers though he was an angel as he was perfectly behaved in every class but of course Sousuke was still concerned.

"That does it Sousuke!" cried Chidori one lunch time when she had caught him tailing Suzuhara making note of the boys every move "I'm gonna prove to you that Suzuhara is just a normal kid" with that she walked up to the boy in question who was reading a book sitting on one of the school benches. Before Chidori had opened her mouth Suzuhara had beat her to it without even looking up

"Did you want something Miss Chidori?"

"Umm, yes. Sorry to disturb you but I've noticed that you haven't made any friends yet so I wanted to invite you to come out for Ramen with me and some friends after school today." said Chidori a little faster than she had first intended but she had caught sight of Sousuke who was hiding behind a tree nearby with his gun out

"Who would be with you?" asked Suzuhara lowering his book

"Oh, me obviously, Kyoko and Sousuke."

"I see, well in that case I'd love to accompany you."

"That's great. Meet me at the lockers after school then" said Chidori before rushing off and dragging Sousuke with her. Suzuhara watched them both go a slight smile playing on his lips before he went back to his book.

"What did you think you were doing, having your gun out like that! What if he'd seen you?"

"My job is to protect you Chidori and that is what I am going to do. Especially tonight." said Sousuke "It was very careless of you to invite Kyoko as it will be difficult to protect the both of you, should he turn violent."

"He's not going to do anything!" cried Chidori "You'll see he's just a normal kid."
