Days of Youth
Days at Sakura High: First Semester
Day 1: Transfer Student
It was a pleasant spring morning. The breeze was warm and the gardens were filled with the colourful spring flowers.
On such a morning, Hiwatari Kai walked through the streets towards Sakura High. He got a scholarship to study in the elite high and so, he was a transfer student there. He looked forward to the studies of Sakura High that everyone said was so hard to keep up with.
Kai had the tendency to go early to the school. Not many students were on the roads that early. He had covered most of the distance by then. He came across a crossing. The signals were red.
There was another girl standing there. She was tall, even taller than Kai. She had pitch black mid-length hair and her bangs covered her forehead. Fair skinned and the features were sharp and she wore the uniform of Sakura High. She was stunningly beautiful. Her eyes were closed.
'A fellow student, huh? But this kind is rare to see.' Kai thought and walked upto the crossing.
The signal went green soon, and the girl opened her eyes which were successful in getting Kai surprised. Cold and glowing crimson eyes, more than enough strong to give a delinquent a panic attack. She noticed Kai stare at her and looked at him from the corner of her eyes.
"What're you staring at?" she asked.
"Nothing..." Kai replied. Those chilling eyes wouldn't work much on him, but they revealed that she was on a totally different level than him when it came to coldness. The girl looked back on the road and walked across it. Kai followed behind.
The two soon reached Sakura High. The campus was surrounded with Sakura trees. The school had more pink surroundings than green ones, although the uniform was gray and black (the blazers were dark gray and bottoms were black).
Kai looked at the guards and noticed a pink Sakura badge on each of them. He faceplamed. 'Hope that the classrooms arn't painted pink...'
The girl suddenly turned around to face Kai and asked him, "You're the new transfer at 3-A, right?"
Kai was startled at the question. How did she know that 3-A had a transfer? He pushed all the questions aside and nodded, "Are you a student of 3-A?"
The girl nodded, "Kurosaki Ren, that's my name."
After saying that, she turned back and started walking towards 3-A. Kai had to go to the teacher's room first. He started to walk towards the teacher's room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kamiya Rinka was the homeroom teacher of 3-A. She was famous among the students as well as the teachers and other staff for her friendly, calm, intelligent, understanding and caring personality, plus her way of teaching. She was a young and a beautiful teacher and was an ideal figure in the whole Sakura Gakuen. She was an extremely qualified teacher as she was accepted for teaching 3-A at such a young age. But enough of that.
She had just arrived. There were some teachers present. The staff greeted her when she made her way into the school. She opened the door and greeted the other teachers before entering. The others smiled as an answer. She took her seat and took out the transfer papers.
"Ohayo, Kamiya-sensei." a fellow teacher waved at her. She was Kamiya's friend from high school. Both of them gradutaed from Sakura Gakuen and they were teaching at the very same academy. Her name was Akizawa Kana.
Akizawa was another famous teacher, especially known for her carefree, lively and friendly attitude.
"Ohayo, Akizawa-sensei. " Kamiya waved back, then looked at the papers. Akizawa peeked into the papers, not getting a proper view of the picture of the student.
"Is that a transfer student?" she asked and Kamiya nodded.
"Hai. Apparently, he got a scholarship to study in Sakura High." Kamiya said. Akizawa smiled.
"Heh? You got a student who got a scholarship to study here? I think he's a capable student."
"Hai. Same here."
"What's his name?" Akizawa asked.
"Hiwatari Kai." Kamiya replied, showing Akizawa the transfer papers, "Even I didn't think that someone who's really passionate about Beyblading will be as good as to get a scholarship to study here."
Akizawa was shocked to hear his name, "Same here..."
"He's a good-looking student." Kamiya said looking at the papers again.
"Yeah..." Akizawa replied, "You always get the good-looking and excelling students. Lucky you."
Kamiya chuckled at hearing her friend say that, "Oh don't say that, you're taking Biology at 3-A, right?"
Akizawa nodded. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Oh, maybe the transfer student has come." Akizawa said.
"It's still early though.." Kamiya said, "Come in."
The door opened and their guess was correct. It was Kai.
"Excuse me." he said and walked towards Kamiya's desk.
'He's a good looking one alright.' Akizawa thought.
"You must be Hiwatari Kai-kun, right?" Kamiya said and Kai nodded, "It's still a bit earley though, why don't you look around the school, to know it more?"
"I think I'll wait." Kai answered. Akizawa smiled at him. Kai noticed her and smiled back. He had no choice but to act calmly and friendly with them. No coldness was allowed with teachers in an elite school, or that was what he thought. Sakura Gakuen was once his dream school, and he was studying there at that moment. It felt like worth trashing his coldness, after he met her.
"Konnichiwa, Hiwatari-kun. I'm your Biology teacher." Akizawa said, still smiling at him. Kai was rather surprised that she could smile at him without getting tired. He was practically sweating just maintaining the calm but not cold attitude!
"Ah, hajimemashite. I'm looking forward to your Biology classes." Kai said and smiled back. Smiling was so hard! It was much harder that training in the Russian tundra. Yet still he forced himself to maintain that calm yet friendly smile in front of the teachers.
"I'm Akizawa Kana. Please don't hasitate to tell me if you're facing any problem with Biology." Akizawa said standing up. Kamiya smiled and looked at her watch.
"Ah, time sure flies fast when you have a company." she said, "We should be going now."
Saying that, Kamiya stood up from her chair and walked towards the door with Kai. She waved Akizawa and left.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Quite a few number of students had gathered up in 3-A. The girl whom Kai met on his way to Sakura High was sitting by the window in the second row. The others were talking about the transfer student. Rumors had spread that 3-A had a really good-looking transfer.
She stayed quiet until someone came towards her.
"Ohayo, Kaze-kun." a girl said.
"Ohayo, Mizuki." Ren said.
Asano Mizuki, a student of 3-A and also the friend of Ren, was a girl with black hair reaching upto her shoulder. Fair skinned, tall and sharp featured, she was one of the ideal figures of Sakura High.
'Kaze' and Ren are the same person.
"By the way Kaze-kun, have you heard of the new transfer at our class?" Mizuki asked and Ren nodded.
"Uh-huh."
"Do you know him?" Mizuki asked again and Ren looked at her.
"You're asking an awefull number of questions today. Did something happen?" Ren asked and Mizuki nodded 'no'.
"Just curious. They say it's a really good-looking guy." Mizuki reasoned.
"He's a famous Beyblader." Ren said, filling the suspense in the air, "I met him earlier today."
"His name?" Mizuki asked again, leaning closer to Ren. There were a lot of famous Beybladers out there, like Takao, Max, Rei, Daichi, Yuriy, Brooklyn, and so on. Well, many of them were not in the third year of their high school, so it was Rei, Yuriy, Brooklyn, Kai and people falling in the same age group.
"Guess it." Ren said and Mizuki got disappointed with the answer.
"Well, it's not like we have to wait for long," another voice said. They both turned looked at the source of the voice. It was Hashima Jun.
Hashima Jun was another student of 3-A of Sakura High. She was shorter than Ren or Mizuki but was still tall. She had navy blue coloured layer cut hair.
"You're right." Mizuki said and laughed a bit. Then a figure entered the classroom and almost every girl stopped talking or/and doing their work to look at him. Many blushes appeared on their faces.
"Look! It's him!"
"He's looking as hot as ever!"
"Ah, I want to marry him!"
Many whispers like that could be heard from the girls. Ren looked at him.
"Well, whoever the transfer student is, he can't just beat the Prince Charming of Sakura High." Mizuki said.
The guy who entered the room was the 'Prince Charming of Sakura High'. His name was Kitazawa Kazuto. He had pitch black hair; just like Ren. His bangs were wildly cut and the back of his hair was uneven. He had gray eyes with fair skin and was as tall as Ren. He had a charming wind around him; that's where he tied at Ren. Both carried the same aura.
He took the seat by the window in the third row, just behind Ren. She didn't bother to look at Kazuto and looked at the Sakura blossoms outside. Mizuki and Jun were talking about something.
After a few minutes, the bell rang. Everyone got back to their seats. Jun waved a little 'bye' to Mizuki before leaving. Mizuki got into her seat.
Kamiya soon entered the room. Mizuki stood up.
"Stand." she stated for everyone to follow. They did so.
"Bow." Mizuki said and bowed to Kamiya. Everyone followed after her. After they were done, everyone sat down.
"Ohayo gozaimasu, minna-san." Kamiya greeted, "From today onwards, we will be having a new student join us."
That was no new announcement to the class. Kamiya getsured Kai to enter the classroom.
The whole class was totally shocked to see Kai as the infamous transfer student. Mizuki didn't expect to see Kai as one as well. Ren looked at him for a second then turned back at the Sakura blossoms. Kazuto looked at him and smiled. Jun was excited as hell for some reason. Kai looked around the room. Numorous whispers spread across the class.
"Ah, it's him!"
"I didn't exexpect it to be him."
"He's a hell of a Beyblader."
"I want his autograph!"
"Like he'll give you one."
And so the whispers went on. Kai was thinking hard for his introduction speech. He had saved all his warmth for that particular one! He took a deep breath.
"Hajimemashite. As you know, I'm Hiwatari Kai. And I'm looking forward to work with you all." he said and the class was rather surprised. They had the idea that he was super cold (which was right), but that line said something else.
But Kazuto certainly knew that was the remaining warmth Kai had left within him.
"I hope that you get along with everyone in this class." Kamiya said, "Now you can take any empty seat."
Kai found one beside the seat by the window in the third row, and their was a certain someone by the window in that row. He took that seat. Kazuto smiled at him, while he only provided him with a stare.
"I see you haven't changed at all." Kazuto said. Kai just gave him a nod. He had used up all of his warmth earlier and had returned to his usual cold self.
Kazuto smirked and turned his gaze at the Sakura outside.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The other classes passed quickly. The studies were harder and much more interesting. The recess started. Many students made their way to the cafeteria and many stayed behind.
Ren was still looking at the Sakura outside like a once-in-a-lifetime movie. Kazuto was thinking whether he should go to the rooftop, but stayed behind.
"So, are you liking the school?" he asked Kai.
"Better than the previous one." Kai replied.
"Be careful, 'cause you'll be experiencing something you haven't before." Kazuto said.
Kai got curious, "And what's more weirder than BBA Revolution?"
"You'll see." Kazuto said. Then there was a sudden call.
"Ah, long time no see."
Kazuto and Kai looked up to look at the caller.
"Do you remember me?"
Kai focused a bit before recognising her, "Hashima Jun."
Jun smiled, "I'm pleased."
"Do you know her?" Kazuto asked.
"A classmate from grade school and also known as 'Joker'." Kai replied. Kazuto grasped upon hearing that.
"You mean that she's..."
Jun smiled and suddenly her expression and attitude changed, "He's right. I'm the Joker, and a known legend in the world of martials, jumpscares and beyblading."
After finishing, she gained a lot of stares. Even Ren looked at her from the corner of her eyes upon hearing her mention 'Joker'.
'So she's the Joker...' Mizuki thought. All the people present in the room were still staring at Jun.
"Why're they... staring at me?" Jun looked around and asked, turning back to her usual, cheerful self. Kai and Kazuto sighed.
"You expect them to take you lightly after you announce that you are 'Joker'? Seriously." Kazuto said. Jun smiled sheepishly.
"Well, that's me. Now how do you know him, Kai?" she asked.
"A classmate from the middle school, also known as-" Kai replied but was cut off by someone who suddenly called out to Jun.
Jun turned back to look at her caller. A short guy with a bit long, brown hair was standing there.
"Ha-hajimemashite, Joker-san!" he said timidly and bowed to Jun, who sweat dropped, "I'm a fan of urban legends."
Jun looked at him with confused eyes, "Oi, you're making me sound like some creep. And, what is... you're name again?"
Kazuto and Kai looked at her with confused eyes, 'You are a creep when you suddenly change into your 'Joker' mode...'
The other guy looked up with hurted eyes, "You... don't know me?"
"Sorry, I'm really bad with names." Jun said.
"I'm Chiba Hiroto, your classmate!" he said in hopes for Jun to remember him. Jun thought hard for some time.
"I don't know." she said casually and Hiroto sweat-dropped, giving in.
Kai remembered that name, "Chiba Hiroto, arn't you Saien's friend?"
Hiroto looked up in pleasure, "You know me!"
Kazuto joined, "I know you too. You're rumored to be the master of the 'Computer Genius', right?"
Hiroto's eyes sparkled with joy of his fame. Jun looked rather confused.
"You are that famous? I had no idea." she said and rubbed her back.
'So it turned out to be true.' Mizuki thought, spying over their conversations, 'This school is a magnet of legends."
"I think you should pay attention to other legends as well, Hashima." Kazuto said, "Even our Kai here did that."
"Ehehehehehe..." Jun said and continued to rub her back like she had dandruff on her head. After finishing her 'ehehe', she turned to look rather serious.
"I do pay attention. There are legends like me and stronger than me out there."
"Like 'Hebi', 'Kiri', 'Akai Tsuki' and so on, right?" Mizuki interjected. She couldn't stay out of their conversation when she knew the strongest and the most mysterious legend regarding martials and beyblade.
Everyone looked at Mizuki. She really knew an aweful number of legends. Ren looked at her. Then she stood up from her seat and looked at Mizuki directly.
"Are you a fan of legends too?" Hiroto asked and Mizuki nodded. She, then, turned at Kai.
"Would you be joining any clubs, Hiwatari-kun?" she asked, "We have a beyblade club too."
Kai thought for sometime then said, "I think I'll pass."
Mizuki again nodded to his answer and looked back at Ren. She waved a little bye to them before going towards her.
"She's the Vice President of the Student Council." Kazuto said. Kai looked at Hiroto, who was blushing furiously.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The recess soon ended. Kai and Kazuto stayed at the class. Ren and Mizuki went to the roof.The fifth period was Japanese. As the bell rang, everyone of 3-A ran straight towards their classroom. The whole class started to whisper about a student who wasn't able to enter the class before the bell rang.
Kai was rather confused as to why the class was so tensed up for the fifth period. Kazuto noticed his friend's confusion and exclaimed that the fifth period of Monday or the Japanese period had the most disciplined, punctual and angriest teacher of the whole Sakura Gakuen. His name was Akumano Magano.
Akumano suddenly entered the class and spotted Kazuto talking to a new student about something. He made him stand up.
"Kitazawa Kazuto, why were you talking with someone else in a teacher's presence?" he asked with a very angry voice. The class was a bit shocked to see their 'Prince Charming' getting scolded by the most dangerous teacher on the Earth. Kazuto stood up with a confident face.
"My pen fell and he picked it up. I was just thanking him." he lied. Kazuto wasn't someone to let teachers get him by something so easy to evade. But Akumano still would not be satisfied.
"Why did your pen fall?" he asked with a stern voice again. Kazuto was calm.
"Because I'm sitting by the window. The wind." Kazuto lied again. Ren, who was sitting in front of him smirked and Kai looked at how calmly he was able to pull off lies without hesitation. Mizuki didn't know that he was lying, nor was she bothered. Jun didn't pay any attention. The class took Kazuto's lie as truth.
Akumano couldn't say anything else. Then someone entered the class. He looked at the guy who entered.
"Haruno-kun, why are you late?" Akumano asked that guy. He froze in his place.
"A-a, gomen na'sai, Akuma-sensei... I mean, Akumano-sensei!" Haruno exclaimed, seeing Akumano in his class. He had called Akumano an akuma (demon), to which Akumano's reaction wasn't positive.
"Is that a way to address a teacher?! You called me demon!" Akumano exclaimed, his face red with anger. Haruno was afraid to death to see Akumano turn into a real demon.
"I-I..."
"GO STAND OUTSIDE FOR THIS PERIOD ON YOUR RIGHT LEG HOLDING YOUR EARS!" Akumano exclaimed at the top of his voice. The whole class was forced to cover their ears. Ren closed her eyes, Kazuto couldn't cover his ears so he had to survive, Kai too, covered his ears and closed his eyes. He was begining to fear Akumano.
The Japanese class went past quickly. Even if Akumano was a demon, he was a good teacher.
And soon the bell rang. Everyone sighed in relief. Haruno was panting hard, not because of standing on one foot, but because of the memory of Akumano screaming.
The sixth period was History. The teacher was a skinny guy in his thirties. He looked rather good. His name was Satomi Yuuto The History was like the God's blessing after the Japanese class.
The seventh class was Biology, meaning Akizawa's class. It was God's God's blessing.
Akizawa entered the class and was greeted by stary aids. She sweat-dropped and greeted back.
Biology ended and everyone sighed in tiredness. Most of the students made their way towards their clubs. Kai stood up when suddenly Mizuki came to him.
"The Shuyouna-sensei (Principal is said 'shuyouna' in Japanese) wants to meet you." she said and Kai nodded.
'Now what does the principal want?' he thought and left.
Kai knocked upon the door leading to the Principal's office room.
"Come in." a voice came. Kai opened the door.
"Excuse me." he said and entered. The whole room was painted pink. The Principal was sitting on a pink coloured sofa. He gestured for Kai to come and sit.
"I want your autograph." the Principal said, not wasting any time and going straight to the point. Kai practically sweat-dropped. But he could not refuse the Principal. He forwarded a notebook towards Kai.
Kai took the notebook and signed it. Then he again looked around the room. It was all pink. Then he had decided.
"Um, may I know your name?" he asked, probably thinking that his name would be 'Momo' or something related.
"Ah, it's Bentou-bako Sasamochi." the Principal replied. Kai got shocked.
'Be-bentou-bako... Sasa... mochi?' Kai thought, starreled at his name, 'His name means Lunch-box Rust cakes? Seriously?'
And the old Principal started talking like a mad person. After ten minutes, Kai couldn't remember his name at all. Suddenly, Ren entered.
"Ah, Kurosaki-san. Konnichiwa." Bentou said, "Let me introduce you two to each other."
Ren looked at Kai and kai looked at Ren. Then they both looked at Bentou.
"We already know each other." Kai and Ren said in union. Bentou laughed an old man's laugh.
"I see, that means that you two are classmates, right?" Bentou asked. Kai and Ren nodded as an answer.
Later, Kai got to know that Ren was extremely known across Sakura Gakuen and other schools. After having to go through the old man's long talks, Kai was extremely exhausted. Ren seemed okay though.
By the time they were out of Bentou's office room, there was only a number of students. It was around five thirty.
Kai and Ren walked out of the school. The guards greeted Ren when they saw her. 'Just how famous is she?' Kai thought as he walked past the gate.
They both walked through the same road until the crossing. Then again Kai was walking with Ren. They both took the same train. Then Kai decided to ask her.
"Where do you live?"
"In your block." Ren replied. Kai was rather surprised. She knew where he lived but never approached him, nor did she show any interest. That Ren was amazing.
Kai wanted to know her more. The cold stare she gave him in the morning, her friendly behaviour with Mizuki, her endless patience while Bentou's long talks. Plus, Mizuki called her 'Kaze'. She seemed like fun.
What she said turned out to be true. Ren lived in the same block as Kai. Ren stopped near Kai's house, "It's yours, right?"
Kai nodded and walked towards the door. Before opening it, he turned back.
"Oi, Kurosaki." he called out to Ren. She turned back, "How about going together from tomorrow?"
Ren wasn't surprised, nor did she blush. She nodded 'yes', turned back and started walking. Kai turned back and opened the door. He wanted to know Ren more, as he felt something different from her.
His coldness was gone since he stepped into that school, encountering with all shorts of incidents other than tragic ones, of course.
End of Day 1
Days of Youth: Extras
Jun: Yo! Welcome to 'Days of Youth: Extras'!
Kazuto: We're the hosts today. And no need to shout in my ears, Hashima.
Jun: Uh-oh. Then I'll scream in your ears.
Kazuto: No need. By the way, why's your legend name 'Joker'?
Jun: Because when I was younger, I was inspired by this villan very much! But why do you ask?
Kazuto: I mistook your name for a real joker when I first heard it.
Jun: That happens. It's not your fault that you're an idiot.
Kazuto: Only an idiot calls another 'an idiot'.
Jun: I am an idiot. But I want to know two things.
Kazuto: What?
Jun: First, are you a legend as well? Second, do you think that Kai has a thing for Ren?
Kazuto: First, yes. Second, I don't know, but he has a thing for Kaze.
Jun: It means the same. If Kai has a thing for Kaze, then he has a thing for Ren. Who is Kaze by the way?
Kazuto: Will be mentioned in the next chapter. We're running out of time.
Jun: Okay then, see you soon! Stay tuned.
