Episode 1

Beginning

Hayato's P.O.V

Emiko sat on one side of me, and Ryu on the other. It had been 2 days since I had apologized to Ryu. Emiko had become part of our group and she hung out with us. The only difference between us and her, was that she didn't have any problem doing homework, and kept her grades up. We had yet to actually see her fight, but she acted as if she could beat us all up. I liked her, so I didn't want to challenge her. Emiko was sitting back in her chair and was smirking at the teacher, who she seemed to know.

"You know her don't you?" I asked and she smiled at me as she nodded.

"She was my cousins teacher 2 years ago." she said and looked back towards the front.

"Guys!" Yamaguchi yelled and tried to get us to pay attention, which even she knew wouldn't happen.

"This class is getting a second homeroom teacher." she said and I looked at her in shock, She smiled at us, as we all fell silent.

"She should be showing up any time." she said and it was then that the door to the room slid open. A woman stepped in. She had long dark brown hair. She had jeans on, a black tank top on, and a black jacket over that. She had a necklace on, that had a gold hand with something stamped into the middle of it in black. Suddenly I heard a chair go flying back, and I looked to see that Emiko was standing up and looking at the woman in shock.

"Oi! What are you doing here?" Emiko yelled and the woman smirked,

"Isn't it obvious Emiko? I work here. As your second homeroom teacher." she said and Emiko suddenly broke out into a bright smile.

"Why didn't you call and tell me Ayumi?" she asked as she moved around the desk and hugged the woman.

"Its nice to see that your still close to your cousins Ayumi-Chan." Yamaguchi said as she came forward from her podium. The moment Ayumi's eyes landed on Yamaguchi, she dropped her bag and gaped at her.

"Yankumi! I didn't know you worked here. Shin is going to be happy to see you." she said and that's when it clicked in my head. Ayumi was the former student of Yamaguchi, and Emiko's cousin. Emiko smirked and looked at Ayumi

"Your still with him? I knew he was good for you." she said and Ayumi rolled her eyes. She stepped forward.

"My name is Sawada Ayumi. I will be your second homeroom teacher. I am also a delinquent, so don't think you can push me around." she said and Emiko nearly fell over.

"You... You... You got married?! Why wasn't the family invited?" Emiko yelled and Ayumi sighed,

"God I forgot how loud you can be. " she said and Emiko blushed before looking at her again,

"For your information Emiko, we didn't get married. I just changed my name. " she said and ignored the class as she turned to give Emiko a look.

"The reason for my doing that is not to be talked about here." Ayumi said and Emiko nodded.


We were leaving the school. It was quiet and no one was around. But as we got to the door, we all heard Emiko. She was talking to someone. We got close to where she was and saw that she was talking to her cousin.

"Your still being hunted by Watanabe aren't you?" Emiko asked and Ayumi sighed, she was leaning against the wall.

"It was part of our deal Emiko. I would fight him when he wanted, and he would leave everyone alone. " Ayumi said and smirked when Emiko growled,

"He drugged you and beat you up. How is that fair, and part of the deal?" she spat and Ayumi stood up fully. She grabbed her bag and sighed,

"Its not fair. But I have to face it. The 3 year mark is up. Which means that sometime this year, he will either target me, or..." She stopped in the middle of the sentence and gave Emiko a look.

"He still remembers me and Rei doesn't he?" she asked and the tone of her voice changed, she looked put out.

"Yes. Look, just be prepared. I don't expect him to target the class as well, but still keep an eye on the class. This isn't a game. And it was never a high school fight. " Ayumi said and I turned to look at Ryu, who was thinking hard.

"Where is Rei?" Ayumi asked suddenly, and Emiko once again smirked,

"In her home." she said and dodged as Ayumi went to hit her. Ayumi glared at her,

"Don't be a smart ass." Ayumi said and then laughed,

"No need to hurt me. She took Hana to Uncle Kei's parents for the month. By the way, she's still mad that you haven't kept in contact." she said and Ayumi sighed,

"I piss her off a lot anyways. Look, you said you wanted to spend the night with me. We need to go before Shin gets home. He is way to paranoid at the moment. " Ayumi said as she walked past her and to the door. The moment she opened it she smirked,

"Come out boys. I'm not stupid. I knew you were there. " she said and I stepped out of the shadows to look her over.

"Ah, your the head of the class. Good. Now, what you heard isn't to be spoken to anyone. The less thats said, the less that gets back to Watanabe. The same goes for you Emiko. I don't have the energy to deal with that man at the moment, and I have to think of a plan. " she said and then turned and walked past us, and out onto the grounds.


Emiko's P.O.V

I sat on the floor of Ayumi's apartment. It had been a while since I had been here. The last time, Ayumi had been carried home by Shin. She had been injured and he had finally gotten over his anger towards her.

"Emiko! I didn't know you would be here." he said as he walked in, he was in a nice suit and was smirking his usual smile. I waved once and then looked back towards Ayumi who was still speaking. She was was filling me in on the last 2 years. She and Shin had gone to Africa, and then came back when he decided that he didn't want to be there. She had applied as the English teacher, but instead got the assistant job with Yankumi, but she hadn't known it was with her until she had gotten there.

"Oi. I'm going to make something. Anything you want Emiko?" Shin asked as he walked into the kitchen area of the apartment. I told him and once again turned back to Ayumi, and I caught the last part of her question on Rei.

"She said that she will be transferring to another school next year. No idea which one. But she seemed rather sad about staying at the current school. " I said and she nodded,

"I need to call Grandpa soon. If he finds out that I'm back and I haven't called he will be really upset." Ayumi said and I felt bad now.

"Ayumi. Grandma died last year." I said finally and she looked at me in shock,

"What? I talked to mom once last year, why didn't she tell me?" she asked as she sat up and grabbed her phone. I yanked it out of her hand,

"Go visit him. Don't just call him." I said and she sighed before nodding. She stood up, she kissed Shin. Then she grabbed her coat and ran out the door. Shin laughed,

"So I take it that she is going to see her Grandpa?" he asked and I looked at him pointedly.

"Alright that was a dumb question. No need to give me that look." he said and I laughed as he went into their bedroom.


I hope this chapter is good. Its a little short. But its just the beginning. So please stay tuned, and if your confused about Ayumi, then please refer to the first story. I own nothing.
