Disclaimer: Oresama Teacher is not mine. Tsubaki Izumi is the true author of the manga. I'm just a lowly fan with too much time on my hands. The general disclaimer I put on my profile applies to this story. :D

Miscellaneous: I use the transliteration of the characters' names in the Viz Media tankoubon translations, except for Usa-chan Man, because it sounds better than Super Bun for me. Why the crack pairing Mafuyu x Kawauchi? BECAUSE I CAN LOL jk but really, it's because I feel like doing so. Besides, let's give Kawauchi some love (though I think Kosaka provides more than enough) lololol

Prologue
Kawauchi's Distress

*.*.*

Kawauchi was in a serious state of distress.

He managed to keep his banchou in Midorigaoka for his last year, but he did not expect him to suddenly sign up for the Public Morals Club. He feared that his treasured banchou will once again lose his shine. And to be honest, while none of the guys below himself, Okegawa, and Gotoh are voicing out their opinion, their actions seem to indicate that they don't agree with the banchou's action.

"It's all because of that damn girl!" Kawauchi slammed his hands on his desk. "And that short kid who beat Okegawa in the first place, too," he added as an afterthought. This really won't do, he thought.

It's time I make a move. I need to separate that girl from Okegawa! He vehemently thought, grabbing pen and paper to organize his ideas.

First in his itinerary is to figure out where Mafuyu Kurosaki lives, break into her home and find out her weakness. He thought about breaking into the registrar's office to get her records, but it was too risky. His only choice, then, is to make people who know it spit it out. Shinobu Yui might know where she lives, but he was also too risky to ask, more because of his oddities rather than actually being a threat physically. A logical choice would be Hayasaka. He needed a plan to coax it out from him.

.*.

Hayasaka had an odd feeling he was being watched. He turned around every now and then, but he couldn't find anyone suspicious.

Is it another one of the Student Council members? No, this is Dorm 1, so they wouldn't be here. Besides, girls are out of the question. Unless it's Kurosaki who is following me! Hayasaka quickly spun around once again, trying to look for his seatmate, but found no one. Besides, it's illogical. If it was Kurosaki, she would have jumped at me already. He sighed deeply. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

He had just opened his room when someone grabbed him and pulled him inside. The man quickly covered his mouth with one hand and pinned both his arms with the other. He bit his hand, which incited a yelp from the perpetrator. When Hayasaka looked, it was Kawauchi.

"What the hell are you doing here? How did you even get in?" Hayasaka blurted out, eyeing the other man suspiciously.

"Relax. I just wanted to ask a question."

"Then why did you need to break into my dorm?!"

Kawauchi paused for a second. "Because breaking in is cool."

Hayasaka sat down on his bed, feeling a headache slowly starting. "Are you the one who has been stalking me this morning as well?"

Kawauchi just held a thumb up and kept a deadpan face. Hayasaka was starting to get annoyed.

"What is it, then?"

"Where does Mafuyu Kurosaki live?"

"Hah? You stalked me the whole day just to ask me that?" Hayasaka couldn't hide his disbelief. What is with this guy? "Why should I give it to you, anyway?" Hayasaka couldn't help it but be a little reluctant, even distrusting, given Kawauchi's previous track record.

"I know you dated a bunny last Christmas," Kawauchi replied.

Hayasaka couldn't help but blush slightly at the mention of Usa-chan Man. "H-h-how did you know that?" he stammered.

"I have my sources."

"So what if you saw me on a date with Usa-chan Man, the defender of love and justice!" Hayasaka exclaimed.

Is he serious? Kawauchi thought while stifling a laugh. I can't believe this guy.

"What are you laughing-" Hayasaka stopped. Maybe he wants to pursue Kurosaki? Is this what this is about? I mean, he even went so far as to stalk me. Maybe that's why he mentioned my date with Usa-chan Man?

Kawauchi looked as Hayasaka seemed lost in thought. He could almost swear Hayasaka had a half-pitying, half-worrying emotion in his eyes when he looked and said, "She lives in Strawberry Heights."

What's with that expression? Kawauchi eyed Hayasaka for a while. "Thanks," he said while making his way to the door. This was rather easy. It doesn't matter; I got what I needed anyway.

So Kawauchi's type is girls like Kurosaki, huh. I never would have guessed. You can do it, Kawauchi! Hayasaka thought as the other man exited his room. Sorry Kurosaki, but this is between men! Good luck.

Hayasaka slept well that night, knowing that he did a good deed to a fellow man.

.*.

Strawberry Heights was about 15 minutes away from Midorigaoka. Kawauchi was hiding somewhere in the bushes near the building, waiting for his mark to arrive home. It's getting late. Why hasn't she passed by yet? He was getting impatient. He looked at his watch to kill time. It was already 7:26 pm.

After a few more minutes, Mafuyu arrived at the gate of the building and started walking to the building staircase. She was holding two plastic bags of groceries. There she is! Time to follow her. He was about to move from his position when he saw another figure approach the entrance. Crap.

The man looked around cautiously, like he was aware he was being watched. He briefly looked at the bushes, but he saw nothing there. After awhile, he seemed to not care anymore.

Kawauchi almost had a heart attack when one of his teachers approached the bushes. Why is he here? I don't really mind him seeing me but I don't want to lose sight of Kurosaki right now.

"Oh, Takaomi-kun. You're early," Mafuyu said, noticing her neighbor come from the gate behind her.

"Yeah, the staff meeting was postponed, and I already finished checking my classes' exercises. Anyway, did you buy what I asked you to buy?" Takaomi responded. The two started climbing up the stairs to get to their apartments.

Kawauchi was shocked with what he saw and heard. They're on a first name basis?! And they even live in the same building! Wait, maybe they live together? He quickly pulled out his binoculars. Going after Kurosaki was out of the question now since Saeki seemed sharp and might sense him. He aimed the binoculars at the apartment, looking for them.

Kurosaki entered her apartment, while Saeki entered the apartment next to her. Neighbors, huh. What a revelation! I can use this.

Kawauchi never thought things would get this interesting.
