Author's Note: Hello everybody! Alice here with chapter 2 of LICPA! Wow wow, did not expect to get very many reviews, favorites and follows after the first chapter! Thanks so much everybody you make my day!
I probably should have said this first chapter: this story is more or less fast paced, inhumanly so in some parts, but at the same time, really slow in terms of who ends up with who, and what-not xD that will all happen in the middle/end parts of the story. Have no fear, a lotta fan service will happen before that! ;)
Now to give credit and thanks!
animandmangafangirl: haha I'm glad you liked it xD I'm sorry for the really long wait!
Yin-and-Yang-67: aww why thank you xD the love meter was something a friend had mentioned to me xD I plan to update this story more often than not, if only there wasn't school and other troubling things :P
I12Bfree: haha thanks? xD Manami is soo cute xD

Love Isn't Complicated, People Are!
Chapter 2
~ You're Seducing Who?! ~
It was an ordinary day for Maehara Hiroto, he would try to assassinate his yellow octopus teacher, and then he would study and talk with the guys. But then it happened.
The shy poison maker of Class E approached the teachers desk, obviously very nervous. Normally, Maehara wouldn't have paid much attention, but something caught his attention.
It was the light pink blush that dusted Manami Okuda's cheeks as she stood before the desk. He shifted in his seat, paying close attention to Okuda-san now. Bitch sensei sat in her chair, looking at her iPad. She glanced at Okuda-san, giving her a questioning look.
"Bi-Bitch-sensei? C-could you... um..." Okuda-san looked down at her shoes, her face turning red. She was struggling to find words to say.
"What is it, Okuda?"
The petite girl took in a deep breath, her shoulders straightening as she lifted her head up. "Could you teach me how to seduce someone?"
"WHAT?!" Maehara bit his tongue, cursing in his head. Everyone looked at the boy, brows furrowed. He looked to the window, placing his chin in the palm of his hand.
This isn't good. If Okuda-san is going to go after Karma, then I need to intervene! I need to act fast.
While Maehara was thinking to himself, Okuda-san had started to take notes as Bitch-sensei was giving her some tips on the art of seduction.
"You know, Okuda, I bet you'd look really cute if you let your hair down. Maybe unbutton your blazer too." Bitch sensei reached across the desk, touching one of the girl's braids.
"E-eh? Really? But, I like m-my hair like this. It's easy to manage." Okuda-san said, getting fidgety. "B-but, if he would like it.."
"Ooh? Who do you got the hots for? You can tell me, just whisper in my ear." Bitch-sensei said, reassuring the girl it was OK.
Okuda-san, unsure for a moment, nodded and whispered something into the blonde's ear.
"NO! HIM OF ALL THE GUYS!" Bitch-sensei slammed her hands on the desk. "OKUDA I DO NOT APPROVE!"
It's just as I've feared.
Maehara stood up, his blonde hair covering his eyes. The class rep, noticing this got up as well. "Maehara?" he asked.
"Isogai, could you come with me for a sec? I need to speak with you."
"Sure," Isogai nodded, following the blonde out of the classroom.
Once the two of them were out of the classroom, Maehara stood outside of the building, staring off into the distance, he said, "I think Class E's worst nightmare is about to come true."
"You don't mean.."
"Okuda-san and Karma's feelings may have become mutual." Maehara said solemnly. He then spoke again, determination in his voice, "But as I have said before, I won't let them be together. Which is why, I have to seduce Okuda-san, and sway her feelings."
Isogai gaped at his blonde friend, utterly shocked. He had to admit, this did seem a bit unfair for Okuda-san, but, he also didn't want to see her and the class devil together. He shuddered at the thought of what might happen. "Then, if you're really determined, I'll help you as much as I can."
"Thank you, Isogai." Maehara smiled.
Isogai smiled back, giving a thumbs up, "Go get her!"
Oh dear god, he never really thought he would say those words to his womanizing best friend.
When lunch break started, Okuda Manami rose from her seat. Her heart pounded in her chest as she worked up the courage to turn around and talk to her red-headed classmate. She took a step towards his desk, hands clasped tightly in front of her chest, "U-um, Karma-kun c-can I-"
"Yo, Okuda-san~!"
She jumped, turning quickly to see none other than Maehara looking down at her, smiling with his hands in his pant pockets. "Okuda-san, would you like to have lunch with me? I didn't understand the science homework we got yesterday."
Okuda looked at him, confused. She wasn't sure why, but it seemed like Maehara was, looking at her affectionately? She shook the feeling off. "W-well, actually Maehara-kun I was going to t-talk.." She let her words trail off, a feeling of guilt coming over her. Here in front of her, her classmate was asking for her help. Was she going to choose her own feelings over her friend's request?
Meanwhile, Karma had been looking at Okuda expectantly, waiting for her to - hopefully - refuse the other male's offer.
"Hey Karma, Nagisa and I are going to eat outside, you wanna join us?" Isogai asked, walking over with his bento box in hand.
Karma nodded, "Sure, why not." He got up from his seat to follow the brunette. He looked at Maehara from the corner of his eyes, giving the blonde a death threatening look. Maehara couldn't help but gulp, feeling sweat roll down the side of his head.
Thank you Isogai!
"Bu- wai-..." Just processing what had happened, Okuda turned around to stop Karma, but he was already gone. She gave a sigh of defeat.
"Come on, Okuda-chan~!" Maehara wrapped his arm around her shoulders, smiling. "Let's go eat!"
Okuda looked up at him, startled by his actions. She nodded her head numbly, walking with him to his desk to grab the bento lunch box, and then outside. She looked down at his hand on her shoulder. She wasn't sure this was such a good idea; she wasn't ignorant to the fact that Maehara, may or may not, be trying to play her.
While she was thinking this, Maehara didn't fail to notice the troubled look on her face, so he moved his hand from her shoulder. He then instead gently pried the girls hands from her chest, holding her small hand in his. "This is better."
"M-Maehara-kun!" Okuda exclaimed, becoming flustered.
"You're really cute, Okuda-chan," he said, smiling at her reaction.
Okuda Manami was now a hundred percent sure that class E's womanizer was trying to play her. She should have felt disgusted or angered at the boy. But when he called her cute, and he smiled at her like that, she swore butterflies fluttered in her stomach.
Had they not been focused on each other, the two would have noticed a few of their male classmates sitting on the steps in front of the school eating lunch. They would have noticed a red-head's seething anger, and jealousy; and they certainly would have noticed a large yellow octopus nearby, writing notes frantically in a leather-bound journal, labeled: Class E 1st and 2nd true pairings.
"Nurfufufufu! Things are getting interesting!" Korosensei chuckled to himself, taking a picture of the two holding hands with a Polaroid camera, his face turning a bright pink.
Certainly, things were about to get messy.
Author's note: sooo xD what do you think? Who do you like more: Karmanami or ManaHara? personally, I'm starting to think maybe I like Manahara together xD that's just me I guess. Please, if you want, leave a review and tell me what ships you think should happen! I've already got a few planned out, but I'm open to considering other ships!
One last thing: Do you wanna read some one-sided NagiKae, or KarmaNami next chapter? x3
Next time! Maybe?
"Maehara.."
"Okuda?! Is that you?"
"Nagisa-kun, is there someone you like?"
"K-Karma-kun... I ... I..."
"It's about time this class had some romance going on!"
