Introduction: Trouble

Ikenishi Kamiko* couldn't say she hated her job. After all, it was the only job she could find, and she needed some sort of income.

And anyway, it wasn't too bad. She had sensible working hours, and she was well paid. Her students mostly behaved.

Mostly.

Yet in every class, it seems, there always has to be that one individual, who seems to have it in for the teacher. In all of her six years of teaching, every year there was one. The one who sat in the back of the classroom and talked endlessly. The one who always disrupted the class. The one that would never settle down.

Every year.

And this year was the worst.

He was a demon by the name of Kuroba Kaito, and Kamiko found herself often wondering if the spirits had purposely placed him in class 2-B merely to torment her. You see, Kuroba Kaito was more than your average naughty student. Oh yes, much much more. Not only was Kuroba a prankster, but he was also a—Kamiko had often wondered how to phrase this, but in the end she could only find one word: genius.

Despite—or maybe because of—her knowledge that this was the worst possible combination of two personalities in a single human being, Kamiko had spoken to the headmaster wondering if he could possibly have Kuroba placed in a more advanced level of study, which, she had told him, was "far more suitable to his talents."

But alas, the headmaster stated that it was far too much of a hassle to reposition a student in the middle of the term. And so, Kamiko would simply have to wait.

She knew that his incredible intelligence could create a brilliant person, and often wondered why Kuroba would choose such a way to put his brain to use. But that was merely part of the reason why she had gone to the headmaster.

The other part was because she bitterly wished for Kuroba to be gone, not be in her class. Let him be someone else's trouble. Why hers?

Oh well...he'd be her trouble for another four months. Four months, she told herself, Four months only. Then he'll be gone.

Gone for good. Not her problem anymore.

*Kaito's teacher's name is not specified in the manga or anime. Ikenishi Kamiko is a name that I use in all manga/anime fanfictions where I need to make up a female name, simply because I think it sounds pretty.
