Title: Cursed
Pairing: One-sided KimuraxKaorin
By the time she left her first official class at Tokyo University, Kaori Aida was fairly certain that God hated her.
Honestly, there was no other explanation. What other force could have compelled him – the man she thought she had escaped – to quit his job at the high school and come to teach here?
When he had walked through the classroom door, she had thought that it was some kind of sick joke, being played on her by Tomo or someone else who had graduated from her high school. But, no. It was really him. He looked around the room with the same slack-jawed expression that had haunted her nightmares, and then said:
"My name is Professor Kimura. I will be your Japanese Literature teacher this year." His eyes glinted for a moment. "Hello, Kaorin."
Kaori sunk into a state of terrified, semi-catatonia for the rest of the class. Later, when she had recovered slightly, she called Chihiro on the telephone, explained the situation to her, and wailed, "WHY?"
Quite unfairly, in Kaori's opinion, Chihiro giggled. "You don't get it, do you?"
"No! I thought he liked high school girls! Why would he come here?"
"Kaorin, listen," Chihiro ordered, sighing, "He might like high school girls, but I think he likes you a whole lot more."
Kaori wept openly.
