A/N: Everyone, long time no see!

Sorry for the long wait (or it wasn't long?... I still don't know what long means here...) Anyway, I know the semestral exams finished but there's only two week before the semester's end and... everything is a total mess. You know; students wants to make their average higher (we have a numbers system...) and some students need more marks - me is one them, yep...)

And there is a French exam named D.E.L.F. and... I'm participating.

So, yeah, there you go, a busy schedule for ya'. Booyah!

So, here you go, chapter two. I have to say two... no, three things about it:

1. When I was about to write the end – actually the beginning because I forgot to write the continuation of the first chapter and I had to add it somewhere... – I started to hate it; it's too OCC...

2. Then I reread it and started to like it...

3. Now I don't know anymore what to think of it...

Anyway, there you go!

Chapter two: Teens these days go to study at one's place for that thing.

"Wait here, Sadist..." she said and stormed back toward the school.

"China!" he shouted after her. Oh, God damn her, she's running again!

He started to follow her as he cursed her under his breath.

"I swear, China, that I'm gonna punish you for all this running." he said tiredly. He caught up with her and now he was panting heavily. Two running sessions in one day weren't good for his health. Not outside, where even pebbles would freeze, at least. And definitely not after China.

She glared at him, then headed toward a little shop, which was very close to the school's courtyard.

"A bagel with cheese and dill, please." She demanded to the shop lady.

He sighed gladly. Food. That was all, food.

"Let's go already." he said monotonously and started to work his way back.

"God, China you can be so stupid sometimes... most of times." he told her off as they were walking slowly.

But Kagura was so busy chewing on the bread, that she didn't hear him mocking her. He watched her out of the corner of his eye. She looked so happy munching on that bread; it made him chuckle a little: she was so easy to please.

"Say, China, why are you so suddenly interested in your marks?" he asked just when she was about to sank her teeth in the delicious steaming bread.

She shot him a glare because his dump question interfered with her feast. The last evens replayed in her head: the accidental meeting (he was stalking her, wasn't he?), the running, the following, the teasing, the mocking... the break-up...

She lowered her head to hide her face. "F-fine!" she muttered.

"Fine what? Ah, wait, everything is fine in the land of stupidness."

She shot him a quick glare, but ignored his comment. Alright, so he had all the reasons to be angry and maybe all the rights to mock her but... it doesn't mean he have to use them!

"Or you have immigrated to another place. A mountain or a jungle, something for a she gorilla anyway."

Ouch!

She tried to calm herself down (and not submit to the tempting idea of silencing him with a punch) by holding her breath then releasing it. It worked... for a while. But...

"Or maybe in a pigsty."

...double ouch!

"Or maybe in Danna's b-"

"I got that! I'm a gorilla, I'm a pig, I'm a monster but you know what Sadist? You're a filthy perverted guy whose stupid hormones got crazy and so, even more stupid that Gorilla if you think that I would sleep with Gin-chan!" She shouted and headed toward the door with steady steps...

... then she turned suddenly towards him. "And "Fine..." stands for "Fine! I'll tell you!""

"And "b-" stands for "bathroom"." he dead-panned.

"Yeah, sure! For "bathroom", my ass!" she looked at him, anger burning in her eyes. "I don't even wanna know how ill you think of me, Sadist!"

"I don't think ill of you." he muttered, almost imperceptible.

She blinked. This was going nowhere. It was just a stupid dialog which lacked the fun and jokes. It was only mocking... and it hurt.

"So, you're gonna tell me or not?"

To tell him?! After he mocked her, stalked her, followed her and teased the hell out of her?! Why would she tell him anyway? Actually she was about to tell him when he started to be sarcastic. But now?! Who would tell that bastard a thing? No one. And she didn't feel like she wanted to be the one to break the crowd's habit.

He could die from curiosity if it was after her! ! Or he could grow older in his searching for some answers.

His life would be miserable and sad and lonely because... um, she will die and he'll think it was his fault because he didn't persevered enough. Umm, to let him root in his own nightmares (with her as a ghost) sounded very appealing... So, who would tell him their problems? No one, sir, no one.

"China? Did you started to chase the wild goose again? Or the wild cock..."

"I'm not chasing the wild goose...!" she spat as she preferred to ignore his last comment.

"Sure you're not..." he dead-panned, but she could feel a mocking tone in his voice.

"Meanie..." she murmured as she flushed a soft shape of red, then added "Damn sadist!" for the sake of it.

"So?"

The bell rang. She looked around the room... I mean bathroom. The dirty cabins... the left wall... the main door... Sadist's questioning red-wine eyes...

She looked away. "P-promise you wouldn't laugh?"

He nodded silently.

She took a big mouth of air. She looked around the room again, with a complicated expression. She met his eyes again... God, that didn't help.

"Ihaveproblemswithmystudying." she mumbled very fast.

"And?"

How come he heard that?! And even understood it?! Heck, it was impossible even for her to grasp what she, herself, said.

"And, China?"

She held her breath. Here comes the drums! (1)

"A-a-a-and I-I-I...needyourhelp...!" she mumbled then she cluttered.

He rose an eyebrow "What?"

So, after all, he couldn't hear what she said...

"Why would you need that?"

No way! He heard it?!

"Because... Gin-chan t-told me to..."

"Danna? Why would he gave his daughter to the wolf? " Sougo asked himself.

"He didn't give me to the wolf!" Kagura shouted with horror in her eyes. Ups! Sougo smirked at her expression. "He's just bad at teaching." Kagura said bluntly.

"He's a teacher." He dead-panned.

Kagura headed toward the door. "Let's go!"

"Where?" he asked blankly.

She turned slightly toward him, a smirk curling her lips. "To my place, of course." she said with a sweet voice.

He looked at her expressionless... or so he thought he did... She knew she'll see a glint in his eyes and there it was. Ah, she used that reply for the first time and... it worked! Oh, God this is gonna be a good day, yes!

"Because... umm, I need help in my studying..." she mumbled an ambiguous answer, then bit the bread meticulously to shut her own mouth.

He rolled his eyes. "Obvious, but that's not what I as-"

"Ah! It hurts!" she yelped and pulled her teeth out from the food.

He blinked. Then he burst out in laughter. She was biting only the bread so when she got to the dressing, her teeth met the lava-like cheese.

"Hmmm…" She pondered then she sank her tooth into the bagel. She stood there like that, her mouth linked to the bread. It was so warm. Then a crazy idea came to her mind. She sucked warily the hot air and her eyes went wide open. It felt good; it has the cheese flavor, but it didn't hurt her. And the sensation was warm, not to say delicious. Oh, God... it was amazing!

"Try it. Suck the air." she said and handed him the bread.

He looked suspicious at her as he took it from her hands . Suck the air? What?! He looked at the food then rose an eyebrow, which made her angry. "Fine, give it back!" she said and reached her hand impatiently.

As to tease her, he took the bread toward his mouth and bit on it carefully. And if he was already at it, why not suck the air too?

She watched satisfied at how his eyes went wide open.

"Tasty." she said with a smug grin and took the bread from him.

"Um, yeah." he dead-panned.

She watched him, pleased by his reaction. His attempt to deadpan his surprise was simply hilarious.

She wanted to nag him a little for his not-honest-at-all reaction but then she heard his phone ringing. He took it out, looked at the screen then... kept on staring at it with a bored expression.

She frowned. "You're not gonna, you know, answer it?"

He looked at her and opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but then he sighed as he saw the clueless face she made and pressed the answer button with a movement that expressed all his unwillingness and sourness about answering that call.

"Yes?"

"Sougo! Where are you?! I'll tell you where you should be: here and you're not!"

Sougo tilted his head away from the phone, trying to avoid deafness. Kagura blinked. It didn't take her much to grasp the identity of the caller. Or why was Sadist so sour about talking with that person.

"Obviously I'm not where you are, Hijikata-san. I can't be in two places." the sadist answered bored.

"I can't be in two places, my *ss! You don't have to be in two places! You should be here doing your work, I can't handle all this sh*t alone!"

"Well, you're not alone, you have your sword, your soul and your t*sticles… still."

Both Kagura and Hijikata sweat dropped at the last line. So much killing intend… scary.

"T-that's not what I wanted to say." Toshirou's voice softened as he felt that the conversation was heading toward a dangerous direction. Especially for him! God, why were all the characters treating those particular organs?! "Anyway... where are you?"

"At China."

"What?!" Hijikata yelped.

"Well, not really." he looked at his surroundings. "But heading toward." he added as he couldn't really tell where he was.

"What?!"

If Kagura could have complained that, up 'till now, during the whole conversation she had to squeeze her ears out, now she couldn't do that anymore. Hijikata had literally screamed at the phone!

"C-calm down, Toshi! It's not like she's alone, or something!" Kagura could hear the Gorilla trying to calm down Mayora. As to increase the chaos in the poor man heart, she added:

"Actually I am, Gin-chan is busy checking some tests at a Pachinko parlor."

"You heard her." Sougo dead-panned.

The effect was sublime.

"W-w-what?! You must be joking..." then a certain man's name pooped in his head. "What is that useless perm-head of a teacher doing?!"

All he got was silence as both teenagers were too lazy to repeat.

"It's not like he's there for that reason..." Kondou tried again. Both Sougo and Kagura glued their ears to the phone. "Sougo may be a complicated kid, but he's still..." Kondou stopped to find the right word.

"...Mitsuba's brother..." Toshi completed.

"Um... no, that not what I wante-"

"Yeah, Mitsuba's brother..." Hijikata mumbled to himself. Oh, God... "Anyway." Hijikata cleared his throat. He tried to look diplomatic. "Why are you there."

"Study."

Bang! They heard the phone falling on the floor. "He's there for exactly that reeeeason!" Hijikata screamed to Kondou, who tried his best to find excuses for Sougo. "Ca-calm down, T-Toshi...!"

"I bet Gorilla is holding Mayora from sprinting right here, ku-fu-fu-fuu..." Kagura whispered to Sougo as she tried to suppress her laugh.

They listen carefully. Even though Hijikata tried to choke the sound by placing a handkerchief on the phone, they could hear very clearly Gorilla's attempts to hold him back.

Then came a few other suppressed sounds and finally someone picked up the phone.

"Anyway, Sougo, there's no test tomorrow so, I need you to-"

Clap! Sadist closed the phone by flipping the flap down.

"So, geography or history?" the sandy haired boy asked as he kicked off his outdoor shoes.

Kagura made a hmm sound as she buried her head in the hall's closet, searching after some indoor shoes. "Well, geography is easier so, let's start with it. I like it better."

"Okay, so we'll start with history."

"What?! No!" She said and rose her head... "Ouch!" ...and hit her head. She looked angrily at the closet, while she rubbed her sour point. "I said we'll start with geography!"

"Yeah, I heard you." he said with a bored tone.

"So?"

"I wanted to see what you'll choose: the easy route or the hard route." At her clueless face he sighed exasperated. "I was testing you."

"But geography is harder than history, yes!"

"Maybe, but the history teacher is more exigent than the other one." he dead-panned at her weak argument.

"But... but I have only two marks at geography, uh-huh. And we need four!"

"But we do have a history test this week, don't we?" he asked rhetorically.

"We... do?" she gulped down, horror written all over her face. "B-b-but the geography teacher is gonna listen me for sure!"

"So?"

"What do you mean by "so?"?! Your job is to teach me!" she looked at him angrily.

"Oh, really? I don't remember getting pai-"

"What I'm gonna do!? What I am gonna do?!" she mumbled to herself, running in circles around him with her face cupped in her hands.

"-d" he finished and followed her spinning, rolling his eyes after her.

He extended his hand and in two seconds BANG! she crushed into it. "...Ouch!" she yelped as she landed on her bottom. "That hurt, Sadist! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Where's your room?"

She blinked. "Umm... there?" she answered warily.

He grabbed her uniform's collar and started to drag her toward the way her index indicated.

(1) It's supposed to be a reference to Doctor Who but... I haven't saw all the episodes so, I'm not really sure...
