"Oi! Onee-san (Big sister)! Hurry up!" Called Hiyaku, Ikichii's younger brother.
"Hold on a minute." Ikichii called back as she grabbed the bentos (Japanese Lunch boxs) sitting on the kitchen counter. She walked out passing a picture of her mother and father on the way out.
"Oka-san (Mom), Otou-san (Dad). I'm leaving now." (-san is a Japanese way of respectfully speaking to some one older then you, like Mr. or Ms. They also some times use the term -sama which is like calling someone master or mistress.) Ikichii's parents pasted away a few months ago. Ikichii, having no other living relatives, is now living alone in her parent's house in Tokyo alone. Only her little brother, Hiyaku, and dog, Ansel, are left.
"Onee-san!" Hiyaku wined. "Hai, hai. (Yeah, Yeah)" Ikichii said, calm despite her brother's wining.
She sat down on the step before the front door next to her brother who had just finished putting on his shoes. Ikichii glanced at her watch. They had 15 minutes to get to school, and she most definitely could not be late. Not only was it bother her brother's and her's first day of school, but she had a special reason for needing to be on time (but you have to wait for the reason.)
She stuffed her shoe in her leather messenger bag and put on her roller skates. "Here Hiyaku-kun. Hold onto this." She told her brother, hand him her bag. She rolled in front of her brother, kneeling down. "Come on." He wrapped his arms around her neck, hoisting himself onto her back and wrapping his legs around her waist to keep himself steady. She placed both her arms under him, grabbing her opposite fore arm. She opened the door with one hand. She skated through, squinting her chocolate brown eyes at the sudden light. She spun around and closed the door and locked it before stashing the key back into her pocket. She placed her arm back under her brother, clasping her fore arm again. "Hold on Hiyaku-kun." (-kun and -chan are what Japanese people put at the name of people you're close to. -chan is usually used when referring to a girl. It's like calling her cute. -kun is usually use when referring to a boy who is younger then you, so is -chan.) Her brother tightend his grip a little as she took off in the direction of their new school.
With the added speed of the hill that they lived on, Ikichii and Hiyaku got to their school in eight minutes flat. "Wow!" They choursed when they saw the size of the school, Seiyo Academy.
"You must be Ikichii Sumimoto." Came a voice to their right. Ikichii and Hiyaku looked over at the man who spoke. He was tall and had tan/dark blonde hair. Ikichii looked him over. He wore a long-sleeved, light blue, high collared shirt and long white pants. Ikichii's eye's trailed up to his eyes. They were a lovely purple color.
"Who are you?" Hiyaku said in an accusatory tone pointing at the man. "Hiyaku!" Hiyaku flinched at his sister's shout.
"This is Tsukasa Fujisaki. He is the president of Seiyo Academy." Ikichii said, setting her brother down. She rolled up to Tsukasa. "Hello Tsukasa-san." She said, stretching out her hand for Tsukasa to shake. He smiled warmly, grasping her outstreched hand with both of his. "I'm very glad you exsepted my offer, Ikichii-sensei." (-sensei is a Japanese term to call a teacher, sometime used for a Doctor or nurse.) Yes, you read correctly. Ikichii is not here to got to school. She is here to teach. Ikichii has already finished colege and she is only 15. She is now a teacher in Seiyo Academy. Ikichii bowed to Tsukasa.
"Thank you for letting me have this job. It's hard for someone in my. . .position to get a job with my brother and I being sent to a foster home." She said a small smile gracing her red lips. Tsukasa smiled warmly to her. "I'm happy to have you here. I'll show you to the classroom you'll be teaching in." Ikichii nodded.
"Thank you. I'd like to drop my brother off at his class first though." She said, bowing respectfully. Tsukasa nodded, understanding completely. "I'll meet you in front of my office." Ikichii nodded her head in thanks and left for her brother's class room.
Ikichii had been to Hiyaku's class before and knew the way to his classroom. (She changed her shoes before going to his class before hand of course.) There were only two other people in the class room.
One was a very hyper looking girl with dark pink hair and gold eyes. She was talking in a hyper voice to a young boy with blonde hair and blue eyes. He seemed to be ignoring her but she kept talking. "I have to go meet Tsukasa-san now. Why don't you go talk to those to over there." Ikichii said to her little brother nudging him toward the two. The girl must have heard them, even over her own voice. She ran over to them.
"Hi! My name is Rikka, Rikka Hiiragi. Who are you? Are you a new student?" She asked in a hyper voice. Hiyaku hid behind his sister's leg. He wasn't always shy. However, after his parents died he closed himself off to everyone but his sister. He clinged to her more now then ever.
"Hey, what's the matter?" The hyper girl asked, trying to look around Ikichii's leg to see the boy. "Hiyaku, you promised me you'd try to make new friends." Ikichii said, getting down on one knee to look at her brother. He looked down at his shoes and nodded. "Alright onee-san. I'll try." He said quietly. He stepped toward Rikka and said, "I'm Hiyaku Sumimoto. Pleased to meet you." Rikka giggled and grabbed him, tugging him toward the blonde haired boy. "Hey, Hikaru. This is Hiyaku." She introduced the two quickly before she started firing questions at poor Hiyaku. "Hey, Are you a new student? How old are you? Where do you live? Is that your sister? She's pretty. What's her name? How old is she? Do you know the Guardians? Hey. . ." Ikichii smiled at her brother. He was being bambared by the questions of this hyper girl but he seemed happier then she'd seen him in a long time. Hiyaku looked up at his sister and smiled. She smiled back happy to see her brother smiling and making friends. She set his bento next to his bag in the cubby next to the door. With one last look at he brother she slid the door shut.
Ikichii wandered around the school looking for Tsukasa's office, not remembering where it was. Since Tsukasa had told her to come early she still had around a half an hour before anyone else would show up for school so she couldn't ask for directions. Or, so she thought.
As Ikichii rounded the corner she ran smack into someone. Ikichii, with her strong five foot six frame, managed to stay standing standing. The person she ran into, however, was not as well built and fell down on her butt.
"Ah! I'm sorry." Ikichii said, reaching her arm down to help her up. The girl looked up at her. She had pretty almost gold colored eyes. Some of her pink hair was pulled up in a small pony tail on top of her head.
She grabbed Ikichii's hand and aloud Ikichii to pull her up. Now that the girl was standing Ikichii could see that her uniform was different then the others. She wore the usual black blazer but it was undone and the white button shirt underneath was untucked. Attached to a black belt over top of her white shirt was a red and black checkered pattern box with black lace on the sides and a chain with a red heart charm, a blue spade charm and a green clover charm on it. She had red and black checkered leg warmers that started just bellow her knees and covered her black leather shoes.
"I'm sorry for knocking you over." Ikichii said, bowing politely to the girl. "Don't worry about it. I was just looking for a few friend of mine and wasn't paying attention." She the girl. "No, no. It's my fault too. I got lost looking for the Principal's office." Ikichii bowed again. The girl laughed. Ikichii looked up at her.
"Well, why don't I take you there?" Ikichii blinked in surpise. "I'd like that. Thank you." The girl turned around and started heading down the way she came. Well, at least I was going the right way.Ikichii thought to herself. The girl suddenly stopped in front of Ikichii, making them collide again, knocking the pink haired girl fall forward.
"Ah! I'm sorry! You just stopped so suddenly." Said Ikichii, who still didn't fall over. She walked in front of her and offered the girl a hand up. "Don't worry about it." said the girl as she was pulled to her feet, again.
"Why'd you stop?" Ikichii asked looking around to see if she missed a sign or something to say they were at the Principal's office. When she didn't see anything to say they'd arrived, she looked back at the girl with a confused look on her face. The girl laughed aloud, making the brunette raise her eye brow. "I'm sorry. I just stopped because I forgot to introduce myself." Said the pink haired girl, still giggling. She cleared her throat and stuck her hand out. "My name is Amu Hinamori. Nice to meet cha." Ikichii smiled and took Amu's hand. "I'm Ikichii Sumimoto. Pleasure to meet you." They shook hands and stared walking again.
"So, are you new here?" Amu asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes. We just came back. We lived in the state for a while before coming back here." Amu nodded.
"Why did you leave?" Amu asked, looking over at Ikichii who was walking next to her so they didn't knock each other over again. (Well, really just Amu.) As Amu asked she noticed a flicker of sadness in Ikichii's eyes.
"My mom and dad died about a month ago. If we didn't move here. . .we would have been sent to a foster home since we have no other living relatives." Ikichii said in a sad voice. Amu quickly changed the subject.
"You said we. Do you have a brother or sister or something?" Amu asked. Ikichii was happy for the change of subject.
"A brother. He's going to this school." Ikichii said, in a happy tone.
"That's cool. I have a little sister. What's your brother's name?"
"Hiyaku. What about your little sister?"
"Ami." Ikichii stared laughing.
"Ami and Amu, huh?" Ikichii was still laughing when they arrived at the office. "Thank you for showing me the way here Amu-chan." Ikichii said bowing to her. Amu nodded. "Sorry for running into you, even though I was the only one fell." Amu said laughing slightly. She waved goodbye to Ikichii as she walked away in the direction they came. Ikichii waved back till she was out of sight.
Ikichii turned back to the door. She took a breath before she knock softly on the door. "Come in Ikichii-chan." Came a voice from the other side of the door. Ikichii slowly open the door. "Sorry for the intrusion." She said as she walked through the door. Tsukasa was standing next to the desk. However, he was not alone.
Standing next to him, they were proably talking before Ikichii walked in, was a blonde boy around the age of 12. He looked at her, his red violet eyes locked with hers. He wore a normal boy's uniform. His black jacket was buttoned all the way. He wore blue and black checkered shorts that reached his knees, white knee socks that reached just bellow his knees and black leather shoes. The only difference was his blue and black checkered cape that reached a little bellow his elbows.
"I'm sorry. I hope I'm not interupting anything." Ikichii said, not making any move to come further inside untill Tsukasa said it was okay. "No, no. Your fine. Infact we were just talking about you." Ikichii moved closer.
"I was telling Tadase-kun here about you." Tsukasa said. "Its nice to meet you, Ikichii-sensei." The boy, Tadase, said as he reach out his hand for her to shake. "Its nice to meet you too, Tadase-kun, right?" She said as she clasped his hand warmly. Tadase nodded at the mention of his name.
"Tsukasa-san told me about you and your brother. I'm part of a group called the guardians. I'm, what we call, the kings chair. We will help you if need it." Tadase said kindly. I guess that's what the cape is for. Ikichii thought.
"In fact, I would like you to meet with me after school if that's alright with you, Ikichii-sensei." Ikichii smiled and nodded. "Then I'll come get you after school and I can introduce you to the other members." Ikichii nodded again. "That would be nice. Thank you Tadase-kun." Tadase smiled and bowed slightly.
"If you don't mind, Tsukasa-san, Ikichii-sensei, I have other things I need to do before school starts." "Alright." Tsukasa said. Tadase left after a polite nod to the two and they were left to take care of their own things. "Well, Ikichii-sensei, should we go see your class." Ikichii nodded and let Tsukasa lead her to the class she's to teach.
"Here we are." Said Tsukasa as he and Ikichii stood in front of her class room. Ikichii nod. "Alright." She turned to Tsukasa and bowed. "Thank you very much for showing me here and for hiring me. If there is anything I can do to repay you, please tell me." Tsukasa smiled at her. "Don't worry about it. Beside, you'll be helping use quite a lot." He said, ruffling her hair. Ikichii looked up at him. "What do you mean by that, Tsukasa-san?" Tsukasa shook his head and put his finger to his lips. "You'll figure it out." He said as he walked away. "Have fun, Ikichii-sensei. Your class is starting soon." Tsukasa said as he waved over his shoulder. Ikichii smiled as she watched Tsukasa retreat back to his office. Ikichii turned back to the door. She took a deep breath and let it out in a deep sigh. With that she opened the door and walked in.
Inside the classroom the students were talking to each other and joking. Two people caught Ikichii's eye.
One was a girl with gold eyes and long wavy blonde hair that reached below her butt. She wore a small black bow to keep her long hair from her eyes, not including her fringed bangs. Her school uniform was usual, except her white tights and black patten leather shoes. I wonder if the school provides shoe or just the other parts of the uniform.Ikichii thought to herself as she set her bag on the teacher's podium and looked back up at the other girl standing next to the blonde.
"Ikichii-chan?" The girl Ikichii was watching walk towards her. "Hello again, Amu-chan." Ikichii said as the pink haired girl made her way toward her. "Ikichii-chan, the new teacher will get mad if you stay there. You should sit at your desk before she gets here. The bell is going to ring soon." Amu said in a worried tone. Ikichii laughed softly. "I don't think she'll mind." Before Amu could ask what she meant the bell rang. "You might want to go sit down, Amu-chan." Ikichii said, smiling softly. Amu reluctantly returned to her seat.
The others were already seated. Ikichii turned to the board behind her. She wrote her name on the board, Ikichii Sumimoto. She heard the whispers of the students behind her. She smiled a little wider, turning back to the class.
"My name is Ikichii Sumimoto. I will be you teacher for this year. Yoshiku onegishimas. (This is something in Japan that is often said when someone introduces themselves.)" Ikichii said bowing in the Japanese style. "What?!" The class chorused together.
Ikichii smiled, she figured they would act like that. Though she looked old for her age, Ikichii is fifteen, she still only looked eighteen-ish. "Aren't you to young to be our teacher." Piped one of her students. "You are quite right. I'm fifteen years old." The entire room went silent. "However, I have finished school." One of the students raised his hand. Ikichii nodded to him. "Does that mean you super smart, Ikichii-sensei?" Ikichii giggled. "You could say that. However, please don't treat me like one. I'm here as your teacher and your friend. If you need anything please come and talk to me." Ikichii smiled warmly. Everyone in the room blushed, including the girls. "Okay mina (Everyone in Japanese)?" Everyone smiled. "Yes, Ikichii-sensei." the chorused. Ikichii smiled and started her lesson. She smiled all the way through her lesson.
