The S.A students are personally asked a favor from the chairman of the school; teach and watch over the daughter of a controversial Manga artist, and student of Hakusenkan. Emi, the lovable girl from the A class, has more problems than just being harassed by the other students, and her new friends in the S.A. are determined to help her. RyuuXOC.


Chapter 1

"The tea's ready!" Akira cheerfully announced as she set up her elegant tea set at the small table in the S.A greenhouse.

"Oh!" Tadashi's face brightened as he greedily reached for the plate of freshly baked cookies. "Itadakimasu!"

Akira, as usual, immediately slapped his hand before he reached the plate. "They're not all for you!"

"Why don't you have more?"

"Because one of the teachers needed the kitchen, so I couldn't make a second batch this morning."

"Oh."

Akira took her usual seat at the table and began sipping her jasmine tea. Tadashi helped himself to only two cookies before Akira swiped the plate away. Kei, sitting at his usual seat, was typing away on his black laptop, as usual. Ryuu, Megumi, and Jun soon joined the group and helped themselves to some cookies and tea. It did not take long for the small group to realize that they were one member short.

"Where's Hikari?" Akira wandered.

No one spoke for a moment, and the only sound was the clicking of Kei's fingers on his keyboard. Just as Kei hit his last key, Akira was ready to explode.

"I saw her talking to a teacher," Kei answered the question, taking a cookie and a cup of tea as if he had answered right away.

"What teacher?" Ryuu asked out of curiosity.

Kei shrugged, "I only saw the back of her head."

"Oh."

"I hope this isn't about her tuition," Akira commented with a worried look.

Kei suddenly went just a little stiff from embarrassment. The week before, the school chairman had told Hikari, in front of the rest of the S.A., that her parents had not been able to make the payment for her tuition this month. Worried that he may never see her again if Hikari was forced to change schools, Kei quickly and secretly paid off the rest of her tuition.

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about," Kei said smoothly.

"Maybe not," Jun added. "Although I wonder what is really going on."

Megumi added by holding up her sketchbook with the words "I hope she's not in trouble" written on it.

Then, as if on cue, Hikari burst excitedly through the doors of the greenhouse.

"Hi everyone! Sorry I took so long."

"Hikari!" Akira exclaimed as she rushed to embrace her little angel. "Where have you been? What's going on?"

"Oh," Hikari began. "Sensei had a few questions for me. It was nothing to worry about. We just talked. She also told me that someone had paid off the rest of my tuition bill. I know it wasn't my father since I talked to him last night and he said that he was slow on work lately."

"Oh really?" Akira commented as she looked back over her shoulder at Kei, who quickly turned his head away.

Megumi held up her sketchbook that said, "Hikari, join us."

Hikari smiled at her friend and took her usual seat next to Kei. The group went on to discuss other topics; their scores on the most recent test (which Hikari once again got a score only slightly lower than Kei's), the school festival, and recent news.

"Oh that reminds me!" Tadashi exclaimed when Megumi casually mentioned an artist gala at a museum in Tokyo.

"Reminds you of what?" Jun inquired after there was a silent pause.

"I saw on the news the other day that there was a lawsuit against one of Tokyo's famous Manga companies. They say that one of their best artists stole the idea for a new Manga series from a college student, who was the artist's apprentice. The artist won't give any credit to the apprentice, so there's a huge lawsuit."

"I remember seeing that." Ryuu chimed in. "I had the news on when I was cooking dinner yesterday."

"Yeah, it's all over the news," Akira commented.

"His daughter attends Hankaku," Kei added. "I heard some other students talking about it in the library today. They also said something about how they were going to tell the girl off for her father's rudeness, since apparently it must run in the family."

"Poor girl."

"I agree," a new voice appeared in the conversation. Everyone looked towards the door, where the sound had come from, and saw the school chairman (Tadashi's mother) walking towards the table.

"Mom! What are you doing here?" Tadashi asked.

"I came to ask a favor from the S.A. You see, this girl you were just talking about, Emi, is in a difficult situation, as Hana-sensei was telling Hikari earlier."

Hikari nodded in agreement.

"She's being teased right?" Jun asked.

"More than that," the chairman continued. "There have actually been cases of violence against Emi. Three already and it's only lunchtime. The students, for whatever reason, feel it's appropriate to punish Emi for her father's mistakes. Emi has told me that she feels that if she changes schools, the violence would only get worse."

"Makes sense," Akira commented. "If she goes to a more mainstream school, the students may not be as disciplined or she may not be able to get as much help from the teachers as she would here."

"Also, Emi has told me that before when she went to a normal school, she felt that the pace of the classes dragged on. Emi is one of our top students, and she's very smart."

"Putting her in with normal students would crush her potential," Ryuu thought aloud.

"That brings me to what I wanted to ask you."

Megumi's sketchbook said, "How can we help?"

"Since she does not want to leave, and her tuition is taken care of anyway, I was hoping that I could ask the S.A. to look after her. My deal with her is that she does not have to attend class with the other students, and she receive whatever extra instruction and help she need with her studies from you and as long as she can stay within the "A" class, she can stay at the school."

"Of course!" Hikari excitedly accepted. "I will make it my mission to guide Emi-chan through school and protect her from anyone who opposes her."

"Are you sure you can do that and still compete with me?" Kei smoothly asked as he turned his gaze to Hikari. "Nii-san."

"Don't call me number two!"

Akira let out a nervous chuckle, "Never mind them, they're always like this."

"Yes," Ryuu joined. "Doing the favor for both the chairman and Emi-chan would be a great honor for the S.A."

"Thank you so much." the chairman was grateful.

"When can we meet Emi?" Megumi wrote.

The chairman shifted her body weight and revealed that there was a smaller girl standing behind her. This girl was not much taller than Megumi. She had long lavender-colored curls surrounding her pale face with gentle purple eyes.

"I'm Emi," she said. "It's a pleasure to meet all of you."


A/N: I was originally planning on completing all of my Yu-Gi-Oh FanFics before doing another one, but those take too much planning for me to be working on while I have mountains of homework. So I will be writing chapters of this story as I have time. The chapters will most likely not be released very quickly, so if you are interested, follow the story.
