Part A:

Io yawned at one point, starting to look sleepy.

"Are you tired?" asked the car driver. "Go ahead and take a nap. It's going to be a days worth, or even more before we arrive at your destination."

Io nodded and closed his eyes. However, he would wake up here and there and watch the sceneries they drove by. Later, the car pulled up to a motel.

"We've arrived at your motel, sir," the man said, who had been driving the car.

"Thank you," Io said, bowing his head and getting out with his packed stuff.

Closing the side door of the car, he walked forward to the motel while the car drove away. After making his way to his designated room, he used a key given to him for it and unlocked the door. Not being one to be lazy, he immediately unpacked his stuff and put them away accordingly. The picture of him and Tsumiki, he placed on a small table near his bed. Knowing he won't go to Hakuo Academy until tomorrow, he took some time and headed downtown to explore. As he did, he looked curiously from left to right many times, as this was all new to him.

"Hmm? A video rental store?" Io wondered as he looked. "I'll check it out later."

"Um..." came a soft feminine voice.

Io looked in front of him to see the source of the voice. Why it was a girl in a purple komono with a tie in the middle to hold it on.

"You seem like you're lost," she said.

"Well, I just moved to this area from far away, so I don't know my way around here," Io clarified.

"I see, then I can show you around," she said smiling.

"Are you sure? I don't want to take up your time," Io said politely.

"No, it's no problem," the girl said.

"I got it," Io said, smiling at the girl's generosity.

They went along, as she started showing him around. However, in a matter of two minutes, the girl herself got lost. Thus she began to panic as she frantically looked around to what appeared to be an alleyway. The people hanging about there looked confused at the girl as she asked them one by one where they were.

'...This girl has no sense of direction,' Io thought with a sweat drop.

But he didn't want to leave her, as she took some of her time to try showing him around.

WACK!

For the girl had gotten hit in the back of the head by a paper fan.

"Are you okay!?" he asked in concern as the girl's eyes watered.

"Really Isumi, you really thought you could guide someone around when you can't even guide yourself without help!? Geez!" came another girl's voice.

"I won't answer a person who hits others with a paper fan," came Isumi's reply as she tried to compose herself.

Meanwhile Io walked up to the girl who hit Isumi. "Please forgive her, she willingly showed me around," Io said as he bowed his head.

"You mean, you're really not from here?" she asked, which was met with a nod by him. "Okay, I'll show you around. And this time we won't be getting lost."

"I don't get lost-" Isumi tried to protest, but Sakuya had grabbed her hand in a split second and pulled her along.

"Now now, let's go," said Sakuya, but then realized something. "Oh, what's your name?"

"I'm Io, and you?" he asked.

"My name is Sakuya, and as you know this is Isumi," she said. "It's nice to meet you."

"Likewise," Io said.

They spent some time showing him around. They came across many places, such as a big market, which Io noted as a place to get his food. They also came across an Arcade with green flashing lights on the building, which Io figured was good if he was ever very bored. Though without Sakaki there it wouldn't be as fun, as he had a challange back then. Sakuya was quick to stop Isumi if she started making them go off course. Eventually, he decided to head back.

He bowed his head politely. "Thank you for showing me around," Io said.

"Yeah," Isumi said, smiling.

"Of course," Sakuya said, happy to hear the praise.

"I hope to meet more kind people like you two," Io said very sweetly.

This made both Isumi and Sakuya blush.

"Later," Io said with a wave of his hand before heading back.

"He, he is charming," Sakuya said, still flustered by what he said.

"Like a prince," Isumi commented.

Part B:

Next day, Io had gotten ready and headed to Hakuo Academy's gate. This school required specific clothes to wear. Thankfully he was provided with a pair ahead of time. As he headed through the gate, many others were as well. Taking out a guide note for his designated class, he looked over it.

'Hmm, class b second floor,' Io thought.

Once he arrived on the second floor and neared the classroom, a girl with green hair was standing there.

"Are you my teacher?" he asked.

"Ah, you must be the transfer student, um, Io was it?" she asked, to which was met with a nod from him. "I am Yukiji, Katsura Yukiji. I'll be your teacher for this class."

With that, Io was about to walk in class, but he didn't sit down anywhere, as he had not been specified where to sit, so he simply walked in front of the chalk board and awaited further instructions. He looked around, and noticed everybody was seated and was simply chattering with each other until class begins.

"Alright everyone!" Yukiji declared, causing them to quiet down and stop talking. "Before we begin, I'd like to announce that we have a new student with us starting today!"

The last part she pumped her fist. Io, with a slight bow, introduced himself.

"My name is Io, I just transferred here from far away, but I hope I can get along with all of you," he said in his considerant sweet voice.

Some girls were blushing. Izumi, one of the girls in the class face-desked in a nosebleed with a very red face, while Miki, the girl seated next to her was trying very hard to hold back a nosebleed while blushing.

"He seems like a nice guy," a boy by the name of Hayate commented.

"Y-yeah!" Nagi said, a girl with two yellow ponytails who was trying to cover her face so nobody could see it at the moment, especialy Hayate.

"Let's see...ah! How about you sit over there." Yukiji suggested.

Io walked over to the pointed desk, which was next to Izumi and Miki's, and sat in it. Izumi had composed herself and her desk wiped clean of the blood. The lessons then began. Yukiji at one point called Io to answer a question, which he did effortlessly. Later on, their lunch break started, so Io begun to pack up his stuff.

"I-Io-kun," came Izumi's voice, causing him to stop what he was doing and face to his left.

"Hmm? What is it?" Io asked.

"I'm Izumi, the class representative of this class, nice to meet you," Izumi greeted very friendly. "I'm the Red!"

"Mmm, nice to meet you," Io said politely with a sweat drop at her last part.

"I'm Risa, the Disciplinary Officer!" Risa proclamed proudly and dramatically. "I'm the Black!"

"And I'm Miki, the Vice-class representative!" Miki stated with the same dramatic flare as Risa. "I'm the Blue!"

"Together, we are the Student Council Task Force!" all three proclamed very dramatically.

"...Huh?" was all Io could say at their silliness while sweat dropping, but smiled a bit. 'These girls...'

For a brief moment his other friends popped into his mind. Their foolishness reminded him of them. He got out of his seat now.

"I don't really know anyone around here, so I'll eat with you guys, if it's okay with you," Io said.

"No we don't mind," Izumi said cheerfully.

"Yeah, we were about to go hide and slack off anyway," Miki said.

"Slack off-hey!" Io protested as the three grabbed him along.

"Don't worry, we'll be back by the end of lunch...at least I think so," Risa added under her breath.

'That's not very convincing!' Io thought in protest.

After a bit, they arrived in what appeared to be some sort of office. Finding some chairs they sat in and started eating their lunch.

"Shouldn't you three be out patrolling? You are the Student Council Task Force," Io pointed out.

"What are you saying, we mostly just laze about and use our position to sneak out of class many times," Miki declared proudly.

'That's not something to be glad about!' he thought.

"Right, where did you live before Io-kun?" Izumi asked him.

Io explained where he came from, and how sudden the transfer was.

"But weren't your friends sad that you had to leave so quickly?" Izumi asked, knowing it must have been hard for him to up and leave all of his friends just like that.

That made him lower his head some. Indeed it was hard for him, even more than he had let on in front of his other friends.

"S-sorry!" Izumi said with her hands out towards him, realizing she may have struck a personal point and made him feel down.

Io shook his head. "It's okay, it's true I miss them, but I know we'll meet again soon," he said, and then faced the trio. "Besides, I'm going to make new memories with all of you. That alone makes me feel better."

This caused all three to blush and nosebleed.

"A-are you all alright?!" he asked in concern.

"What's with all the noise you three?" came an aggressive female voice. "Man, I know it's lunch but could you keep it down-Eh!? What happened?!"

She noticed that the trio had red faces, steam coming out, and blood from their nose. After they recovered from it, the pink haired girl spoke up again.

"So, who's this?" the pink haired girl asked as she looked at Io.

"This is Io-kun, a new student in our class," Izumi happily said.

Io observed this girl. She was certainly beautiful, if not a bit aggressive.

"I see, you were trying to make him be another lazy one just like you guys," she said tiredly.

"Don't say that like it is a bad thing!" the trio protested in unison.

"How is that not a bad thing?!" Io asked out loud.

"Io-kun was it?" Hinagiku said as she walked up to him. "I'm Hinagiku, nice to meet you. I am the Student Council President of this school. If there's anything you want to ask, you can always ask me. And if these three give you problems, just tell me and I'll deal with them."

"As expected of the Student Council President," Risa muttered.

"Mmm, strict as ever," Miki said under her breath.

"I'll be sure to," Io calmly said.

"Good," Hinagiku said as she walked away.

"What do you think Io-kun? Isn't Hinagiku very pretty?" Risa teased.

"I think so," Io honestly said.

This made Hinagiku, who was not out of earshot, blush from the comment, but she didn't turn back and walked forward so as to not cause suspicion on the trio.

"But, I think you three are great as well," Io considerately said with an innocent smile.

That made the trio nosebleed and faint.

"...What happened?" Io wondered.

A/N: I figured a running gag that would probably happen, is the trio being charmed by and nosebleeding from some of Io's comments. He had that effect on many girls in the show, and I think the trio would be charmed often enough by him if they ever met, and nosebleed too. For those wondering why Nagi and Hayate didn't introduce themselves to him. Nagi doesn't seem like the type that would introduce herself to just anyone unless they introduced themself to her first, or she was forced to. Hayate seems like he would wait until he was talked to first in terms of introducing himself (the little introducing things before the actuall show don't count). The trio on the other hand, I think they would introduce themselves to him without him having to first. The trio is pretty out going, and I can't see them not introduce themselves to him.
