Neku's eye twitched.

He really had no idea how he got himself into such horrible positions. It had only been a day since his fourth time in the game. He'd ended up partnering with Rhyme, and Shiki with Beat.

Of course, things don't always go as planned.

Oh don't worry, none of them got erased, but none of them expected Joshua to follow them the whole week, in the RG.

Beat didn't care much, Joshua didn't kill them, he actually saved them. And Shiki did do her best to see the bright side in Neku getting shot. Rhyme, the ever wise one, told Neku that he never had any evil intentions, so he shouldn't outcast Joshua.

Neku wanted to strangle him.

By the time the game had ended he had accumulated enough stress to last him through his lifetime, and his death.

His parents didn't even notice he was gone for the month. His mom had been staying at some guy's house. She met him at work. His dad hadn't been home since he'd left for Udagawa that day, the dishes were in the same spot, and there was just a note that he was on a business trip.

Great parents.

Neku'd gone to school the day after Joshua put them all back in the RG.

But none of this was the problem.

Neku just wanted to know why he was sitting next to Joshua.

Why was he sitting in first period, next to Joshua.

Why, why, why was he sitting in first period math next to Joshua.

"Why…why…"

"Something the matter, dear? I'd swear something was troubling you, but school hasn't even started yet."

Joshua was wearing his evil little smile again as Neku turned his head towards his two-time killer to begin his verbal assault.

"Urgh. You—"

A familiar voice cut Neku off.

"All right you little factorials! I'm your new teacher, Minamimoto-sensei. Speak up if you know the solution, and you six in the back, detention in room 407, one hour."

"What the—"

"Two hours!"

Neku's head hit the unforgiving desk.

What the hell is pi face doing teaching in my high school?! And why did he give us all detention?!

Neku's thoughts trailed off as the three other students who had been given detention by the new teacher resisted using their miscellaneous items to beat the math freak.

"Come on guys, it's only two hours."

Rhyme was always the smart one. She was only Beat's younger sister by two years, but look what happened, she's in the same grade as them.

Even Joshua looked miffed about staying an extra two hours at school, even if it was with his dear proxy.

The bell rang and Neku, Shiki, Beat, Rhyme, Eri and Joshua grudgingly began their day at Sakura high.

Yes. I had to do a high school fic. xD

What? Detention? What is this thing that's rarely used at my own school. What about immediately getting in trouble for no reason and such?!...My dear Sho is just an old style teacher. Heh.

Anyway. This is so happy compared to my other fic, In Another Land. IAL is all emo-y, while this is just. Post game and happy.

Poor abused Neku wants reviews cuz Fu-chan here treasures everyone's concrit! 3
