#1 First Year JHS; First Encounter (Part 1)


Inside one of the Europe style houses, there're three children who were eating in the dining room. There's also forty years old woman was preparing bento boxes and chatting with them. Even though her voice sometimes full of warning tone (because her youngest son was being bullied by his elder brother and sister), but that's why made the house alive and warm, thought her.

"Kaasan, when will Tousan come back to Japan?" asked her daughter.

"Hmm, if there's no obstacles, the day after tomorrow your father will back."

"Uwah, looks like I have to cancel my date." The oldest son spoke then took his cell phone from pocket of shirt with white line motif and baby blue as its base color.

"Aniki, didn't you promise to company me buying a new racket?" asked the youngest son a bit angry.

"Eh? Did I? Wah, there's no plan like that in my schedule~"

"Aniki!"

"Hush, Yuuta. Later I'll company you, I have to buy a new pair of shoes too. All right?"

"Okay. Aneki's more reliable, hmph."

"But, you must wear jacket which I bought yesterday."

"I take my words just now."

Their mother laughed softly as looking to them. "A man should not take his words. That's not manly. Nee, Syuko?"

The asked person nodded and smirked, while the youngest son named Yuuta was pouting.

"Saa, let's start the breakfast. Yusuke, lead prayer."

"Hai!"

The four of Fuji's family members started eating their breakfast. Sometimes Fuji and Yusuke would teased Yuuta and successfully made him angry or blushing. Yoshiko just laughed because seeing her children could get along like this had made her longing feeling for her husband, Fuji Shinosuke, would be recovering, even it was not fully.


Love So Sweet


A bright red sport car stopped at near gate of junior high school building, Seishun Gakuen. Its driver looked at his right side. A beautiful girl was staring on the building of her new school. "Syuko, finished school, you must go home immediately. Okaasan will be worried if you come back late," said Yusuke. He smiled then stroking his cute sister's hair after Fuji nodded.

"Ne, ne, Niisan studied at Seishun too, right?"

"Yeah. Only one year at first year, before we moved to Chiba."

"Is the building still the same like before?"

"Hmm, maybe it changed here and there inside."

"It seems I will like this school."

"Definitely. I guarantee that."

Fuji Syuko got out from the car after giving a kiss on Yusuke's cheek. She smoothed her hair a little in front of rearview mirror then crossing the road. Some students had arrived, the first year students like her and senior students who had busily given away the brocure about their club.

As a good, first year student, Fuji accepted the brocure with a smile. She continued her walking to the gymnasium. Her usual eyes closed now were seen and let people seeing her cerulean eyes when photography club's brocure got her attention.

"Hmm, maybe I have to join pootobu (read: pooto kuraabu)."

"Hoi hoi, watch ooooout!"

"—eh?"

Bruk!

Fuji hissed because feeling the pain around her butt till her waist. Not far from her, the person who hit her also groaned. Aware that she was in danger position, Fuji pulled her dark blue skirt till closing her knees.

"Aa! Gomen gomen! I couldn't stop my own body, nyaa! Daijoubu?"

Silently Fuji looked amazed to how fast the red hair boy changing his position and had stood as lend a hand to help her. Accepting his help, Fuji stood and answered, "I'm fine. Honestly, I was just suprised."

"G-gomen, nyaa! Next time I'll be careful!"

"Yeah. Don't think about it." Fuji smiled as usual.

"Oh, my name is Kikumaru Eiji! First year!"

Fuji's eyes narrowed till her cerulean eyes weren't seen. Seeing her right hand had been hold by Kikumaru, she replied and tighting the hold of their hands.

"Fuji Syuko. First year too. Nice to meet you, Kikumaru-kun."

"Looks like you're a kind person, Fujiko-chan. Just call me Eiji, nyaa!"

Interesting, thought Fuji because she just met someone who called her with other name.

Their grip of hands was detached. Fuji nodded. "Okay, Eiji-kun."

All of first year students were given the direction to the gymnasium. It was located at south east area. During that time, Fuji was accompanied by Kikumaru and she felt amused because the companion was talk-active type. Fuji replied till the boy who had a plaster on his nose talking about his will to become a member of tennis club Seigaku. At last they promised to do a match if they officially become regular member. Of course, Fuji was the one who was propossing the promise, although Kikumaru was not sure because the different of their power.

"Like the previous years, we chose one of first year students with highest score to give the speech. The student named Tezuka Kunimitsu can stand and come here to the podium."

"Wah, nerdy?"

"But he has a handsome face."

"Eh? Isn't he look cute from the side?"

"Popular student candidates?"

"Yes, yes!"

Kikumaru watched two girls who sat on left side Fuji before his focus changed to the object talking. That person had already on the podium. "Uwah, he wears a pair of glasses," murmured him.

Fuji also looked at the same person named Tezuka Kunimitsu. She smiled without the reason. When her eyes were meeting up with a pair of hazel eyes, her smile widened. There's no fear for Fuji because she was stared back by his cold eyes. Instead, the feeling of admiration appeared in her heart as she saw the dark blue aura around Tezuka's body.

"He is fit to be a leader."


Tezuka x Fem!Fuji


The time passed fastly. It had been two weeks after the school entrance ceremony and Fuji still didn't know what club she had to join. She was not sure with her choice to join photography club. In her class, 1-5, there're five students joined tennis club. Three boys and two girls. One of them was Oishi Shuichiro who had attracted Fuji's attention.

From outside, might be Oishi seemed like the same good student. But sometimes Fuji saw the golden aura around him. When that aura came out, for some reasons she would remember Kikumaru who had the red-golden aura.

"Fuji-chan's looking at Oishi-kun again?" A girl who was sitting in front of Fuji gave a teasing smile. Her name was Itou Akari.

Fuji shook her head while putting her bento box on the desk. "I feel his aura looks familiar, Itou-chan. It's not mean I like him."

Itou (as usual) arranged her desk till she sat opposite Fuji. To be honest, Fuji was a bit wonder. From all of her classmates, only this cheerful girl and had tomboy personality who wanted to be near her. Around three days ago, Fuji just knew that her classmates were feeling uncomfortable with her smile face and her closed eyes.

It couldn't help it, right? This is my habit, thought Fuji as washing her hands in sink.

"Don't take it to your heart. They just envied you."

"Is it so?"

"Yes! They're envy because you have beautiful face, Fuji-chan!"

"...um, arigatou?"

"Hehehe~"

If she remembered that awkward moment in the toilet, Fuji still couldn't believe about Itou's honest personality. That was her first time got praise like that directly by the same gender. But she knew, Itou didn't want to make her sadder, even though it was big false.

I studied here not to look for the popularity or friends who only come when they want, but I...

"Don't daydream. Let's eat~"

Fuji nodded slowly. "Ittadakimasu."

"So, you have decided to join photography club?" asked Itou.

"Dunno. I'm still not sure. How about you?"

"Hmm, I've collected my form paper to girl basketball club. Today I'll start practice."

A soft laughing could be heard from Fuji. "It suits you. You're good at basketball when we were at PE class yesterday."

"Ehehe, sou?" Itou bit her second onigiri then eating rolled egg. Her black eyes moved to the field. Class 2-3 and 1-2 had finished their PE. "Nee, Fuji-chan. What's your opinion about Tezuka Kunimitsu?" asked her suddenly.

Fuji's eyes followed Itou's eyes. Tezuka became the center of attention from most of people in the field, include from their classmates and Fuji herself. From outside, Fuji admitted that there was no special from the boy. She continued her lunch before speaking. "So-so. But I think, Tezuka-kun is fit to be a leader."

"Nah, I agree with that." Itou nodded steadily.

Fuji's right eyebrow was raised.

"I was his classmates for two years at Seiharudai Daiichi."

"Hmmm... sou ka."

That teasing smile came back to Itou's face. "You don't want to know more about Tezuka, Fuji-chan? My instinct said, you also interested in him, fufufu."

Fuji laughed hearing it. "Even if I do, I can find it out myself."

"I see~ But not hesitate to ask my help, ne." Itou smirked.

"Yes. Thank you, Itou-chan."

"Fufufu, urwel."


Perfect Pair


Fuji sighed slowly then giving her form paper which she had written. At last she also decided to join girl tennis club because she was being asked by two seniors (Captain and Vice-captain itself). They said that they saw Fuji at a single match and became first winner at Kantou tournament. While Fuji herself was still not sure, whether she could become member of tennis club Seigaku seriously.

"Yosh. Tomorrow you may join to practice, Fuji-chan!" said the Captain, Tamura Eiko.

"Hai. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu, Tamura-buchou." Fuji bowed a bit and smiled.

She turned around then walked to the main school building. Today she had a meeting with photography club. Fuji also would ask permission to Chairman of photography club that she couldn't come every day. If it didn't get permission, Fuji might be resign from that club.

The sky had started darker when the activities of photography club was finished. All members readied to go home. Fuji too, rushed to the Chairman of photography club.

From his movements, Fuji knew that Kanagawa Sasaki had realized about Fuji joined tennis club. That third year boy still sat on his chair while crossed his hands in front of chest. His brown eyes met Fuji's cerulean eyes. After all the equipment, include her compact camera Fujifilm X100T, had already put inside the bag, Fuji walked closer to Kanagawa.

"Kanagawa-buchou, I want to discuss something with you," said Fuji.

A light smile was seen on his face. "I'm sure this is about you join tennis club."

Fuji nodded slowly. "I couldn't come everyday, maybe. If my attendance makes Buchou and other members uncomfortable, I'll ask for resign."

"...why you choose to resign?"

"Because I'm not serious to become member of photography club."

Suddenly Kanagawa burst out his laughing till two members who had been standing in doorway looked at them. Kanagawa waved his right hand, giving a gesture to not mind them and be replied by nodded before they're out of club room.

"I've known from the start that you're not serious, Fuji-chan! So, it's no problem. I hope you still want to be member of this club because you have potential to become photographer professional. Even though it hasn't seen yet," said Kanagawa.

"Is that so? Then thank you, Buchou." Fuji made a relieved smile.

"Basically, club activities only exist to develop students' creativity. So it's fine that one student take two or three club activities to find their passion. Right?"

Fuji nodded. Agreeing her Chairman club opinion. She didn't know before that behind his childish face, Kanagawa had a adult mind.

When Fuji wanted to leave, the atmosphere changed. Kanagawa was still watching Fuji while his hand supported his chin. A Fuji Syuko would not run away from anything, even if Kanagawa asked her to do something for becoming member of shadow of photography club.

"But nothing's free in this world, Fuji-chan," said Buchou at last.

"I knew," replied Fuji as pulling a chair near Kanagawa then sat on it.

"You know Tezuka Kunimitsu, right?"

I got a bad feeling, thought Fuji. The girl cleared her throat. "Only knew his name and the person."

Kanagawa's expression changed. The atmosphere somehow became tensed. "From the start I saw all of your photos, you always photographed landscape, natural, and animal. I thought that you're bad at photographing human."

Fuji didn't give a nodded or shaking her head. She just smiled as if she was saying, 'you found out?'.

Kanagawa smirked. His head nodded, agreeing whatever the idea he got. "For a week, you make Tezuka-kun as object of your photos. Show me your best photo on next Monday. It's better if you show me some photos."

A sigh was heard after that. "One week?"

Kanagawa nodded again. "I don't accept selfie photos. Must candid photos."

Fuji's head moved to look at left side, not wanted to show her dislike expression to Chairman. Quickly Fuji looked back to Kanagawa. "But it means that I can take his pictures without permission? You said candid photos just now."

"Hmmm, it's true."

Fuji smiled. Inside her heart, she wanted that his request could change.

"Keep taking Tezuka-kun's pictures, but before you give them to me, you should get his permission."

"E-eeeeeh..."

This time Kanagawa smiled. "Asked permission to the people who become subject of our photos is one of rules you must do as a photographer, Fuji-chan."

"I understand. Whatever way I use to, the important thing that I can show the photos to you, then it's fine, right?" asked Fuji for confirmation.

Kanagawa nodded as stretched out his right hand. Fuji held that hand.

"Deal."
