Chapter Two
--
Yoshikawa, along with Anko… and the controversial piece of jewelry that was still sitting snugly in its box had by now all successfully made their way to a small clearing behind the high school field.
Actually, they had been there for quite a while with Yoshikawa wordlessly staring at the box in his hand and Anko half expecting him to get down on one knee…
A minute later, the girl who was not at all known for her patience finally snapped and literally started bending Yoshikawa's ear.
"Oww! Uehara-san, what are you doing?! Let go of my ear!"
"Well you're just… you're just an idiot Yoshikawa! What the heck did you drag me all the way here for if you're not going to…," stopping abruptly, Anko then took the given opportunity to turn red and pull on Yoshikawa's ear even harder.
'Geez, I almost said 'propose to me!' aloud,' Anko thought in her head. 'That would not have been good, then stupid Yoshikawa will figure out that I love him. Stupid, stupid, stupid Yoshikawa.'
Meanwhile… screening live from Yoshikawa's head…
'Oww! My God… why is she still pulling on my ear? Geez what did I do to make this girl hate me?...'

Somewhere very close by…
Urumi, with her handy binoculars 'hmmed' from her perch on top of Onizuka's shoulders.
"Oi! Kanzaki, what the hell are you going 'hmm' for? Tell me what's going on, you've been sitting on me for a while now and all I'm getting is 'hmm!'"
"Shh Onizuka if you're too loud then I can't lipread what they're saying!," the blonde genius said as she smiled smugly.
She knew her statement would do nothing but confuse Onizuka into silence for a while and she would have a moment of peace for a while.
…
"Hey! You said that just to trick me!," he said… ten minutes later.
"Yeah, don't we just make the perfect couple?"
Onizuka paused his 'getting back at Kanzaki' thoughts to take a double-take at the girls statement.
'Did she say she and I made the perfect couple?,' Onizuka asked himself. 'But she's so hot… I mean young. I definitely meant young!,' he then proceeded to look around sheepishly, worried that he accidentally said the last statement outloud.
"Hey, Onizuka snap out of it! What's the matter with you I just said that Anko and Yoshikawa made the perfect couple! Sheesh old man."
Onizuka almost heard his hopefull bubble pop as Urumi cleared up on her statement.
Little did he know the blonde was smiling a little more than usual at the sight of his disappointed face.
'God Onizuka, you're so easy to read…,' she thought to herself.
"Hey, who's playing the space cadet now genius?," Onizuka said as he grabbed the binoculars from her and took a look at the happy couple behind the field.
"Perfect couple? Kanzaki are you insane?"
At Urumi's look, Onizuka rolled his eyes and decided to rephrase his question.
"Ok, don't answer that, we already know that you are… but anyway Kanzaki are you insane? They're not doing anything even remotely 'couply'! … In fact, I think she's kind of beating him up…"
"Onizuka, you're seriously over thinking this," Urumi replied. 'Wow, never thought I'd say that…,' she added in her head.
'Wow, never thought I'd have Kanzaki wrapped around me so comfortably,' Onizuka thought in his head. 'Her legs are so smooth…'
A second later, the blonde had to smack him in the head with her handy dandy emergency nosebleed handkerchief.

Kikuchi's room…
Three young men were staring intently at a computer screen, one was busily hacking into the school system and the other two were hoping for some R18 pop up sites to grace them with its presence.
Finally figuring out that Kikuchi had blocked these pop-ups from showing themselves, Murai belted his friend with a nearby pillow.
"Hey, watch it Murai or I'll let Kanzaki have your mother," Kikuchi said calmly.
"Whatever man," the bleached blonde said. "Just hurry up and tell us why you're hacking the system again. And how this is gonna help Yoshikawa."
"Yeah," Fujiyoshi said, finally piping up. "Why don't we just kill Uehara? Then Yoshikawa won't have to marry her. Problem solved man."
Kikuchi and Murai shot each other worried looks before Kikuchi returned to his hacking and left Murai to deal Fujiyoshi.
"Kill Uehara? What a great idea," the blonde said sarcastically. "Seriously Fujiyoshi you need to lay off the online gaming, you're turning into a bit of a useless freak."
"Yes! I'm in!," Kikuchi said. "Took me a little longer this time, Vice principal must have spent hard earned school cash to buy software to keep me out. Dumbass."
Murai then gave Fujiyoshi a pat on the back. "You should get into online hacking instead. Then you'll grow up just like Kikuchi and you'll be a useful freak!,"
Kikuchi thought about belting the both of them for a moment but decided 'helping' Yoshikawa was more important.
"Hey, Onizuka juniors, enough with the stupid and take a look at this," he said while motioning to the screen.
"Girls?," Murai asked.
"Girls are nice," Fujiyoshi said.
"Girls are not nice!," Murai replied. "Urumi, Miyabi, Yoshikawa's fiancée… they're not nice, they're like lions. Lions that eat… y'know, meat."
"And we're made of meat!," Fujiyoshi said animatedly.
Kikuchi ran a hand through his hair and wondered how much trouble it would cause him to have Urumi get rid of both the idiots who bombarded him with his daily dose of stupid.
"Alright you two, don't you think you've killed enough of my brain cells for today? Honestly, just take a look at these girls. If Yoshikawa's parents want him to get married so badly, then we'll fix him up with someone that suits him. Not someone who tries to kill him on at least a weekly basis."
"Nice plan Kikuchi!," Murai declared. "Guess that's why you're the brains of this operation. Of course, I'm the looks and Fujiyoshi… well he just has to be here because groups in our school as a general rule have to have three members."

Back to Kanzaki and Onizuka…
"Kanzaki this is getting pretty ridiculous. Is she still trying to kill him?"
"Yes, yes she is. I must say they both have incredible stamina for trying to kill and trying not to be killed. I'm impressed."
"Well they better not lose that ring, their parents spent a lot of money on it and if they're just gonna throw it away, then I should just sell it."
"Wow, what a helpful guy you are," Kanzaki said with her usual sarcastic eye roll. "Anyway I have a plan. Don't screw up."
"If you don't want me to screw up, don't include me in the plan."
"You're in the plan, just don't screw up."
"What if I don't want to be in the…"
smack
"Oww! Why always with the violence?! Sheesh, stop watching Uehara for God's sake she's teaching you bad habits!"
Kanzaki cocked her head to one side and put on her genuinely confused expression.
"What are you talking about? I taught her all those moves."
Onizuka winced at the revelation.
"I'm sure Yoshikawa thanks you," he said before being bombarded with the details of Kanzaki's plan.

Half an hour later…
Things had finally calmed down at the clearing…
Well, Anko had finally calmed down and Yoshikawa took the opportunity to flee.
A certain blonde genius nonchalantly made her way to the clearing and wordlessly sat down next to the thoughtful girl.
"I suppose you've heard the news," Anko mused aloud.
"Congratulations," Kanzaki said sincerely.
As expected Anko merely released another indignant 'hmph'. She was about to launch into full blown denial when Kanzaki put a hand on her shoulder and offered a small smile.
"Seriously Anko, congratulations," she said.
"How did you know?"
"Know what?,"
"Hey… you don't need to make me say it,"
"That's true. But in any case… I think you need to hear it,"
"Again? You don't think I hear it enough in my head already?,"
"In that case, just once more won't hurt you…"
"Geez Kanzaki. I didn't know you were so much like Onizuka, always with this 'proclaim your feelings' crap. Well I won't be a slave to your emotions!"
Urumi nearly laughed outloud.
"Anko, if you seriously believe that, then you're stupid enough to be on par with Murai and Fujiyoshi… and quite possibly Onizuka…"
--
"Damn that Kanzaki, what the hell did she go and say that for?"
"Umm, sensei… why are we spying on the girls?," Yoshikawa asked from beside him.
Onizuka adopted a fatherly tone and messed up the younger man's hair.
"Watching girls is good for us Yoshikawa. Watching girls teaches us many things. Remember that."
"I remember the last time you made me peek at girls," Yoshikawa mumbled. "I think I still have the bruises…"
"What was that?"
"N-nothing.."
"Shh! They're saying something else! Listen up!"
"… But you just asked me…"
"Listen up fool!"
--
"So Anko, are you gonna say it?"
"Alright! Geez Kanzaki I'll say it just so you'll leave me alone to brood and panic all at the same time in peace ok? Would that make you happy?"
The blonde smiled innocently.
"Yes, that would make me very happy in fact…"
"I'm in love with Yoshikawa," Anko whispered, her voice completely different from the earlier parts of their conversation. There was no malice now, not even an ounce of feigned annoyance. Anko was just telling it how it was.
Kanzaki nodded, motioning for the girl to carry on.
"I… I don't exactly know why, but I do love him," Anko continued. "And as incredibly stupid and ridiculous as it may sound… maybe someday I wouldn't even mind getting married to him…"
"Ha! See there! I knew it! Whoo! I'll tell your parents not to cancel the plans after all!," Onizuka yelled, as he stood up from a nearby bush.
Anko looked around for a rock or anything else to throw at her teacher's smug face.
"Did you tape record me again Onizuka? Stop doing that! How many times do I have to confess my love in front of you people?!"
"It's not us you just confessed to, you sweet, sweet girl," Onizuka said with a laugh. "It's him! Hey Yoshi… hey… Yoshikawa? … Umm, Kanzaki… he ran away."
"Yoshikawa?! He heard me?," Anko demanded to know.
"Onizuka! I told you not to screw up the plan! Where is he?," the irate blonde asked, willfully ignoring the panicking girl.
"He was here just a minute ago, and besides, I told you not to include me in your plans if you didn't want them screwed up!"
"Shut up!," Anko yelled, instantly gaining the attention of the other two. "Have your lovebird arguments elsewhere alright? And have them later! Go find me my fiancée now!!"
"Uh…," Urumi and Onizuka managed to get out.
"I said now!!"
"Right, right, we're going!," the two 'lovebirds' said as they ran off.
--
"Geez what was I thinking, falling in love with Yoshikawa," Anko said to herself when she was finally alone. "I should have known that marrying him would mean that those two along with Kikuchi and the other two idiots would practically be my in-laws."
Letting out a sigh, Anko lay her head down on the grass and decided on the cause of all her problems.
"… God must hate me or something…"
