Chapter 2

A/N: Hey everyone! I can't believe this...I had to type it up again cause my computer fucked up...Oh well. It had a bad start anyways.

Anyways, thanks for all the nice reviews I got for the First Chapter! I have revised the 1st chapter to your advice, so have another read there to see the changes!

Well then. Remember, Make a review, and BOOM, you get a cookie. Therefore, R&R!

Cecilia stomped her foot impatiently, angry at her friend's and would-be lover's lateness. "Geez, what are they doing? They're unusually late today..."

Cecilia was with all the other girls, but she arrived first among them all, being in Japan for already 3 days. Of course, the others were also there. Rin arrived before Charlotte did, due to her taking the specialized bus to IS Academy, while Char took a limo. Laura took the liberty to stay at IS Academy to help Chifuyu. However, all were worried about Ichika.

"Ichika...where are you?..." Cecilia kept saying. While she was doing that, the others were looking out for any sign that Ichika would arrive. Charlotte spotted a white, flying...thing that was heading towards them. "What is that?..." She said softly, and the others heard it. "What's what?" Rin commented. Charlotte pointed at the white flying object. "I wonder...it looks so familiar..."

"Yeah, me too. Wonder...wait a sec..." Rin squinted again. "It looks like Byaku Shiki, but only Ichika can pilot it, right?"

"But that means...Ichika's piloting the Byaku Shiki to get to school? What's he thinking?" Cecilia said, angry that he would do such a thing. "It's a valuable piece of equipment and tech!" Charlotte, on the other hand, used a binocular, and looked at Byaku Shiki again. "He's...carrying someone too..."

"It's probably Houki, knowing him..." said a voice said behind them. They turned around, and saw Chifuyu walking towards them. Cecilia puffed out her cheeks, annoyed that he would be doing this kind of thing. "Why would Ichika do something like that?" She complained loudly.

Charlotte intervened. "Don't worry, I bet he was just carrying her to get to school faster. I mean, most logical reason that doesn't involve love or something..."

Rin, who was still waiting for Ichika to come down, said simply, "He definitely won't get through today. I promise." Everyone had a cold feeling and sweat drops.

"But still! Why should he carry Houki? What's with her?" Cecilia complained, still very annoyed at Ichika.

"I'm doing that, due to the fact that we were going to be late."

Everyone turned their heads, and saw that Ichika had made touchdown to the school. They rushed towards him, mostly angry about the fact that he was carrying Houki. Speaking of which...She was very stiff from the ride, due to flying above the clouds, and feeling so cold there. He put her down quickly, and ran for his life, leaving Houki, half-paralyzed.

After Ichika made the other girls calm down, and restored Houki to a previously good condition, they went to the school board, where all the roommates and classmates along with the teachers, and looked up where they were. Ichika smiled when he saw that he was in the same class as Houki and the other girls. "At least I'll be with people I know well...and Rin's even here. Hmm...WHAT!" He yelled, surprised. His teacher...his teacher was...Chifuyu-nee...again...

The girls came over, saw Ichika pointing at the teacher names, and saw their names, and their eyes widened in many different forms of emotion, mostly fear. It seemed like that they were not going to survive the year...and Ichika was probably the 1st to go.

He sighed. "Well, no point in standing around gawking at the school board. Let's get over to...Class 2-1 for our first period." and they set off towards the "2" building with classes in it.

Ichika smiled.

He was indeed back.

The class was...well, very similar to the one that they left behind last year. There's still a window seat, where Houki used to sit. The blackboard didn't look any dustier. Lots of people were still here. Of course, he forgot one thing in particular: The entire student body was girls. GIRLS. Except him. The only male who can pilot an IS in the world. He was wanted by so many people in the world due to this fact, and it made him famous. Of course, when a planet has over 6 billion people, and you're the only, ONLY, male who can do things that only girls do, you tend to be singled out.

Ichika, lost in his thoughts, wasn't really paying attention to where he going, and ended up walking into Houki, who glared at him. He sighed. Was she going to ever take it easy on him? She was fine last year, when he defeated the Silver Gospel, and they were alone on the beach, she was ok. But now...what happened?

Houki, on the other hand, sighed internally. Couldn't he picked a better time to go sentimental on everyone? She walked to her usual seat, and sat, and stared out the window like usual. Ichika went his usual seat, and plopped down at the chair. The rest of the girls took their usual seats, except Rin, who took a seat next to another girl that Ichika didn't know.

The bell rang soon, and classes were going to start. However, Ichika saw that neither Maya or Chifuyu-nee was close by. The class sat in silence...and more silence...until Maya came with a BANG to the door!

"Ah...sorry! I got caught up in some meeting with the other partial instructors..." But the class was still very silent. Maya blinked nervously. "E-Ehh? It reminds me of last year's class...Wait. WHY'S ICHIKA OVER HERE?" She said incredulously, pointing at Ichika with a shaking finger. "and Miss Shannon! What the...?"

"Maya, don't worry about it. It's the actual class."

Chifuyu walked into class like usual, struting into class like a soldier marching, and speaking like as if everyone was below her notice. Of course, Ichika, being her little brother, knew that really, she can be soft and caring sometimes. But, this only happened if they were alone. But during school? He'd be lucky if he didn't lose over 100 brain cells because of last year...But it still hurt.

As Ichika was thinking about this, she was saying, "Well, anyways, welcome back to IS Academy. This is your 2nd year here, so for sure, the work here's going to be harder. So to those who didn't do so well last year, pick up the slack, and get some work done!" Everyone shrieked at Chifuyu when she was done, making Ichika come back to reality. He snapped up with a bang, and fell off his chair. "Oww...the hell? What's happening?" The class fell silent when he said that. But Chifuyu walked over, and smacked him towards the wall. "Imbecile...weren't you listening? I was talking about your education here!"

He got up and said, dizzily, "Chifuyu-nee, you came..." and fell on the ground, rendering him unconscious. The girls rushed him off towards the hospital wing quickly, and Chifuyu sighed. He never changed over the year.

Inside Ichika's head, he was thinking, "Well, that went well."
