Hello again everyone and everybirdie. This is li43101 here with the next chapter. As promised, this chapter has Kazuaki and Sakuya. And it also mentions the name of a certain bird. And no, it's not Shuu or Yuuya! They're probably be in the next chapter though. Also, on a side note, everything will be in third person for now on. Unless, of course, you want everything to be from Hina's perspective. If so, I will do that. Anyways, let's get to the warning and disclaimer then:

Warning: This is my first Hatoful Boyfriend story so the canon characters may be a bit OOC (at first). Also, I'm going to be adding some things from the manga, the game, and even the Holiday Star game (though Holiday star stuff will come later). So, there will be spoilers.

Disclaimer: I only own Hinata Mori, her mother, and Daichi Shizuka. All other characters belong to Hato Moa.

Enjoy the chapter!


Hina walked the usual route she takes to get to school, her lunch box in one hand, her dark blue satchel in the other. She has gotten a new uniform this year, and in her opinion, it feels odd. Last year she wore a white shirt with a vest, along with a skirt. She's not this year. Instead of a vest, she's wearing a blue jacket with black trim. Her skirt is also blue, whereas last year it was white. It feels odd, but not as odd as her long hair. She's still trying to get used to it, and she often have to resist the urge to cut it. The route she takes to school is rather quiet, but she like it. Besides, after meeting Hiyoko and the others, this is one of the only times she get to be in blissful silence anymore.

In her lunch box, she's bringing with her some melting rich pudding that her mother made for Okosan, some red meat for Hiyoko, and some food for herself. Ryouta said that he didn't want her and her mother to have to go through the trouble of making him something. Probably for the better of things, because she have no clue as to what he likes. She soon arrived at the gates to St. Pigeonations academy. She took a deep breath before walking through the gates and into the building. She took off her shoes when she got inside, and put her shoes and her lunch box in the locker assigned to her. She knows which is assigned to her, because she had arrived a week beforehand to make sure things were in order and that she got a locker. She went up the stairs (she almost shuddered, because she's never walked upstairs before), and headed to class 2-3, her homeroom class for now on. When she entered, the first person, or rather bird, she saw was-

"Oh, hello Okosan! I see you're in this class with me," Hina cheerfully said as she sat down next to him in the second row.

"Coo? Coooo! (Hina is in this class too? Glad to spend more time with you!)" Okosan exclaimed happily and as hyper as ever.

"I'm glad to spend more time with you as well, Okosan," Hina replied. Just then, the bell rang, and in came running Hiyoko being dragged by Ryouta. They took the only available seats in the front row, which was in front of the two, Hiyoko sitting in front of Hina and Ryouta sitting in front of Okosan.

"Hey Hiyoko and Ryouta. Looks like we're all in the same class together this year," Hina said. Hiyoko looked over her shoulder and smiled.

"Hey Hina! Hey Okosan!" Hiyoko exclaimed happily. Ryouta looked at Hina.

"Hey Hina, are you going to be working at the maid café again this year?" He asked. Hina shook her head.

"No. I'm afraid that my mother managed to convince me to join at least one club or committee this year, and she also told me that I don't need to have a part time job right now, because we can hold up with the money that we have. Can you tell the manager to keep one position free for me though, in case I need to start helping pay for expenses again?" Hina asked the blue haired boy, who nodded.

"Sure," He supplied helpfully. That was when the teacher walked into the classroom. He was rather pale, and had medium blonde hair that was kind of curly and dark yellow-like eyes. He wore a cream color scarf around his neck, making Hina wondered if he felt the heat at all.

"Good morning everyone! Err, I'm Nanaki Kazuaki. I seem to be your homeroom teacher this year. I specialize in math and… physics… and also some… other things… Zzz…" And just like that, he fell asleep. Hina remembered how Daichi often had to wake a teacher by that exact name. Well, it's obvious this is the same guy as Daichi often told her about. But, even with she heard, she hadn't expected him to fall asleep just like that.

"Sir! Wake up! It's homeroom!" Ryouta yelled. Kazuaki didn't wake up, much to the class's disdain.

"… He sleeps with his eyes open?!" Hiyoko asked.

"I heard that he does this from Daichi, a friend of my family who was also my homeroom teacher last year in case you forgot again Hiyoko… but I didn't expect him to fall asleep like that," Hina said. That was when Kazuaki jolted awake, from what, Hina didn't know.

"Ah! I'm sorry! Isn't it a little warm in here?" He asked. He then cleared his throat, and the door to the classroom opened. Slowly walking in someone who has to be the most stuck-up looking person Hina has ever seen, and that's just putting it nicely in her book. He was dressed in bluish prince attire, and had light blue hair and light blue eyes that matched his attire. He wore the expression that basically said that he did not want to be here.

"Everyone, we have a transfer student in our class starting today! He's an aristocrat that's come all the way from France! Please, introduce yourself to everyone," Kazuaki said, looking at the stuck-up looking student who was looking at everyone else in disdain.

'He came from France? … Never met or even spoke to someone who was from France. This might be interesting,' Hina thought. The boy snorted after his eyes scanned over everyone.

"Hmph! I am a pure-blooded aristocrat! I've no name to give to commoners!" He said in a snotty manner. Hina stopped herself from rolling her eyes. That kind of attitude is typical of people who have been peppered all their life and haven't experienced some of the simple things in like, such as knowing how to use a broom.

"This is "No Name to Give to Commoners." Try to get along with him as best you can, class," Kazuaki said, causing some people to snort in an attempt to hold back their laughter and others to completely hold back their laughter, Hina being one of the ones holding back their laughter. The boy glared daggers at the teacher.

"His given name is "No"?" Hiyoko asked. Hina sighed.

"That is not it Hiyoko. In fact, I highly doubt that's even close to his real name," Hina muttered.

"I said "I've", not "I'm", you insolent dolt!" The boy yelled at the teacher. Sadly for the boy, the teacher had fallen asleep again already. The boy let out a frustrated sigh at this, before sitting down in the only available seat, which was on Hina's right. This was fine with her, this just makes things more interesting for her. Kazuaki woke up, and he started teaching, falling asleep a couple of times and being woken up by the rich boy yelling at him, Ryouta yelling at him to wake up, or by Okosan being Okosan.


~ Later that day, during lunch… ~

Hina and the French boy had no contact whatsoever during class. Hina actually doubted that he even noticed her. She believes that, since she's usually silence a lot of the time, she doesn't get noticed a lot. It was kind of like being a ghost, except you know that you're alive. Then again, she doesn't know how it's like to be a ghost.

She carried her lunch box, on her way to the cafeteria. But, when she had just entered the cafeteria room when she saw that Hiyoko, pulling along Ryouta, and accompanied by Okosan, was heading over to the French boy, and she knew that disaster was about to happen. She walked faster than she normally does, so she can get to the group a little more quickly.

"Hey! Hey, No Name to Give to Commoners!" Hiyoko called out. Hina had to stop herself from laughing again. Hiyoko was never the smartest person, but her intentions are kind, just like Hina's overprotective mother. The boy glared at Hiyoko, who was smiling that cheerful smile of hers.

"Insolent primate! That is NOT my name! Do not insult me! My name is Shirogane le Bel Sakuya!" The boy, Sakuya, yelled, just as Hina joined the group.

"Whoa… no matter which one you use that's a hard name to keep track of!" Hiyoko said. If this was an anime, Hina knew she would be sweat dropping. It wasn't that hard of a name to remember, nor was it difficult for Hina herself to figure out which part was the last name and which was the given name.

"Coo cooo, cooo!? (Which parts are the last name, and which are the given name!?)" Okosan asked. Sakuya glared daggers at Okosan.

"You can't even figure that much out? How low are this school's standards if they let an imbecile like you in!?" Sakuya yelled. He has yet to take notice of Hina, but then again, people who have never met Hina take a little while to notice her. That's about to change though.

"To be fair, Okosan here is on a sports scholarship," Hina said. Sakuya quite literally jumped an inch or two off the ground, and the look on his face would have gotten a lot views on YouTube. Hiyoko actually snorted at this, and Hina herself smiled slightly in amusement.

"W- When on Earth did you get here?!" He exclaimed.

"… I've been here since you said your name," Hina answered bluntly.

"Coo cooo coo, coooo…. Coo! (Okosan thinks the given name is, ummmmm… The "le!")" Okosan exclaimed, bringing the attention back to him. Cue Hina and Ryouta face palming, Hiyoko looking at Okosan with a 'is that really it?' look, and Sakuya glaring at the human-sized bird.

"IT IS NOT, YOU WORTHLESS CUR!" Sakuya yelled loudly at Okosan.

"Okosan, the given name is Sakuya. The "le" is part of the last name," Hina explained.

"Cooo…. Coo cooo! Coooo! (Ohhh… I get it now! Thanks Hina!)" Okosan exclaimed. Sakuya smiled at Hina, and she had a feeling as to what was about to come up.

"Finally, someone with enough intelligence to tell which parts are the last name and which are the given name. Who might you be?" He asked.

"I'm Mori Hinata, but my friends call me Hina," Hina answered.

"Well, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, even if you ARE of a lower blood line," Sakuya said. Hina would be sweat dropping again if this was indeed an anime. Also, did she just bond with a stuck-up aristocrat? What has she just started?

"Hey, aren't you going to ask for our names?" Hiyoko asked, her hands on her hips. Sakuya gave her annoyed look.

"Why should I? I have no wish to speak to inferior beings with inferior intelligence," He said. Hina felt the tension rise, and knew that Hiyoko was going to give Sakuya either a hard lecture or preform some Ace Attorney level finger pointing and judge him… But then, this happened.

"COOO COOOO COOOOOO!" Okosan exclaimed, the words meaning nothing, as he head-butted Sakuya's chest hard, sending him flying backwards a few feet and onto the floor. This definitely caught of attention around the cafeteria, as if Sakuya's yelling didn't do that already.

"Coo cooo coo! Cooo coo? (Okosan will not allow his friends to be insulted like that! By the way did Hina bring any pudding for me?)" Okosan asked. Hina would once again be sweat dropping if she could.

"My mother figured that you would be asking me that so she made you melting rich pudding again," Hina said, going over to the cafeteria table and opening her lunch box, and brought out the pudding. In literally a blink of an eye, as expected, Okosan started eating the pudding. And, once he was done, he said something about training, and left the cafeteria with a huge dust trail in his wake. Sakuya just stared in the direction that Okosan ran off in, still on the ground.

"… Dare I ask?"

"Yes, he's pretty much like that all the time… Just don't make fun of him, us, or pudding and you'll be fine," Hina answered.

"… As expected of Okosan," Ryouta said with a sigh.

"… Seriously though, it's important that you know our names!" Hiyoko asked. Sakuya glared at her as he got up and straightened his uniform.

"And why should I?" He asked. Hiyoko looked over at Hina, and the long-haired brunette knew that she wanted her to explain.

"Well, for one thing, you're stuck in the same classroom as us. You're bound to know everyone's names eventually. Also, bear in mind that one of the only ways for you to avoid knowing everyone's names is to transfer, but it's your choice," Hina explained. Sakuya blankly stared at Hina for a few moments before sighing deeply and turning towards Ryouta and Hiyoko.

"Fine… What are your names?" He asked, sounding thoroughly annoyed.

"I'm Tosaka Hiyoko!" Hiyoko said cheerfully, like usual.

"And I'm Kawara Ryouta. Nice to meet you Sakuya," Ryouta said politely. Sakuya sighed again, though this sigh wasn't as deep as before. Something told Hina that this year was going to be a long one. Oh so long. And very interesting.


~ Later that day, again… ~

It was world history, the class period before they could all go home. And, as expected, Kazuaki fell asleep. But, on the bright side, he had already given out the lecture. So, now, everyone was simply talking. Although Hina caught Sakuya glaring at Okosan – who was too busy running laps around the room to notice Sakuya glaring daggers at him – out of the corner of her eye a few times, but she kind of expected that. Sakuya has yet to make a move to wake Kazuaki up. Then again, he probably deems it as pointless right now, seeing as he was both done with the lecture, school's almost over, and Kazuaki would probably just fall asleep again.

"Hey, Hina. Which committee do you plan on joining?" Hiyoko asked, turning her body slightly in order to face the long-haired brunette. Hina shrugged.

"I'm thinking about joining about the library committee, but I haven't decided yet. Besides, we don't really have to worry about it until tomorrow, so I'll wait to see what my options are then and then decide," Hina said, continuing to work on the assignment Kazuaki gave them for math, not that she really needed to do that. She already finished it. She was just making it look neat.

"I see… What about you Sakuya? Have you decided on which committee to join?" Hiyoko asked, now turning her attention to the aristocrat next to Hina. Hina looked over at him, and saw that he had a smirk on.

"What a foolish question, Tosaka! I already hold the position of highest power here!" He exclaimed. Hina took about two seconds to realize what he was talking about.

"… So you're the president of the Student Council?" She asked.

"Precisely Mori," Sakuya said happily before looking at her and adding, "And a bit of a suggestion? You would make a great vice president. I can already tell." Hina wasn't sure if that was good for bad or not…

"Ehhh?! But, the Student Council is decided by election…" Hiyoko complained. Sakuya glared at her and slammed his desk.

"Aristocrats have no need for elections!" Sakuya yelled.

'… Doesn't he know that we're in a democratic country? … Actually, I think it's best to let his imagination be, because who knows what he'll do if we tell him otherwise,' Hina thought.

'Doesn't he know ANYTHING about democracy?!' Hiyoko thought. That was when the bell rang and Kazuaki jolted awake.

"That's all for today. Stay safe everyone," He said. Hina smiled, getting her things and walking out of the classroom. Okosan quickly caught up to her when she reached the stairs.

"Coo cooo coo? (Has Hina decided if she will join the track team?)" He asked.

"I'm afraid I can't. My doctor told me not to take track after I sprained my ankle two weeks ago when we were training. I might be able to join later, but I'm not too sure," Hina said when they finished climbing down the stairs and headed towards the lockers.

"Coo cooo… Cooo coo cooo! (Okosan feels bad for making that happen… Promise Okosan that you will join next year!)" Okosan cooed. Hina smiled, lightly laughing, and nodded.

"I promise to join next year," She said as they reached the lockers. She went to hers and got her things.

"See you-" Hina started to say, but before she could finish, Okosan ran out of the building, leaving a trail of kicked up dust behind him like usual. Hina sighed as she started to walk home. Maybe she will join the Student Council, so she can keep an eye on Sakuya. But she also wants to join the library committee. Of course, she could always do both. Maybe she'll do that. Her mother would definitely be happy if she was a part of two school committees.

Hina soon arrived at home, and saw that her mother's car was parked in the driveway. Her mother's boss must have given her a day off. Hina smiled as she walked into the house.

"Mom, I'm home!" She called out as she took her shoes off. Her mother then walked out. She had short, straight brown hair and brown eyes, like Hina's.

"Hey Hina, how was school?" She asked. Hina smiled as she set the lunch box on the table.

"It was great! I'm in the same class as San, Ryouta, and Hiyoko this year. There's also a transfer student. He came all the way from France, and is rather stuck-up. Transferring is never easy though, so I can't really blame him that much. But enough about me, how was work?" Hina asked her mother, looking at her with bright lights in her eyes. Her mother worked at a weekly manga shounen magazine as a picture editor. Her boss and she get along really well. Hina's even met him a few times. He's seems a little narcissist, but that could just be her. Her mother smiled.

"Mr. Nishikikouji is the same as ever. Though he did get angry when an editor try to ask him to check the coloring on one page while he was in the middle of a photo session. I quickly took care of that problem though and looked at it myself. So, work was the same as ever," Her mother answered. Her boss, Nishikikouji Tohri, always does things like that, so it's no surprise that he got angry when he was in the middle of a photo session. Hina smiled at the thought of Tohri being angry.

"That's good. I'm going to go up to my room for a bit. I'll be back downstairs for dinner," Hina said before heading upstairs with. This indeed was going to be a very interesting year.


A/N

It's honestly harder than I expected to write Sakuya. I think I'm getting the hang of it though. Also, yes, Hina's unnamed mother works for Tohri. You can imagine that Hina's mothers has an interesting job life. Anyways, next chapter, Sakuya gets angry and Kazuaki falls asleep during. But that's all normal. But will we be meeting more of our favorite Hatoful Boyfriend characters, so stay tuned. This is li43101 signing off for now!
