This story is set after the movie :)
Chapter 1
"Sa-Sawada! what the hell are you doing here? when did you came back? did your friends know already? how's Africa-" Shin couldnt help his smile as his former teacher bombard him with questions
"Yankumi, we can talk about that later but right now I have an important thing to do" he said.
"ehh?"
He smiled before pulling Yankumi in a tight embrace which surprised the teacher.
"I've missed you. it's been awhile" he said. then all of the feeling he has bottled up inside him suddenly flows back again. 10 years trying to forget a girl and failing to do so only means it's impossible and trying harder is futile. As saying goes if you get can't a person out of your mind and heart they're probably suposed to be there. And Shin knows very well that there is where she's supposed to be.
"Baka" she replied. Shin knows Yankumi is crying so he decided to break the hug and wiped her tears away.
"Sorry it took me this long before visiting you." Shin said while still wiping Yankumi's tears
"I understand but you have a lot of catching up to do with your beloved teacher. got it Sawada?" she exclaimed. Shin just laughed at her antics before pulling her into a hug once again.
"It's Shin. call me Shin." he said. Yankumi although a little bit confused on Shin's action decided to obey him, after all this is Sawada, she knew better than to argue with him, she never really won in any of their arguements before so better do what he wants.
"anyway I'm off to school now, wanna come over?" she asked, breaking the hug.
"nah. maybe later, I still have something to do so I'll just drop by some other time. is it okay?" he inquired. Yankumi smiled at him. the smile he's been longing to see for almost 10 years.
"sure. I have to get going now. see ya later Sa- Shin" he doesn't know why the mere mention of his name coming from her made his heart thump madly. He's starting to think he's becoming insane just like their classmates. Stupid feelings.
"see ya" what he did next surprised both him and Yankumi. he bent over and kissed her on her cheeks.
"bye Yankumi" he said before walking casually leaving a shocked Yankumi. So much for having self control. Now what to do to make her stop seeing him as one of her "precious former students"? Time to figure it out.
Yankumi still surprised on what Shin did decided to continue her walk towards school, but she's absentmindedly walking that she hadn't even noticed a couple or two of her students staring at her.
"What is wrong with Yankumi?" Jinpei one of Reita's friend from class 3D asked while watching their teacher.
"Maybe she's still sleepy" Makoto rrplied.
"that's absurd, Yankumi's the most energetic person I've ever met, even if she wasn't able to sleep for three days that wont make her... that.." he pointed at their teacher.
"love problem perhaps?"
"Ridiculous" Reita just stared as his homeroom teacher clueless on why she was acting like that.
"Sawada you asshole" Yankumi cursed while placing her belongings on her desk.
"Ah! our new Director is coming today right?" Ayukawa, Akadou's nurse said which caught Yankumi's attention.
"Eh?" the Math teacher inquired.
"Our Directress resigned yesterday that's why her grandson is taking over" Takano-sensei the English teacher explained.
"Eeehh. the Directress is a good person."Yankumi said with disappointed voice.
"I wonder who's going to be our next Director?" the Vice err Principal Sawatari asked.
"They said our new Director is an awesome person he put himself through law school, worked abroad then took Education as his course." the nurse answered.
"Ohayou" all heads in the faculty room turned as they heard an unfamilliar voice.
"I'm Sawada Shin, your new Director. pleased to meet all of you." couple of jaws dropped into the ground when he introduced himself.
"Director, looking forward in working with you, and- Welcome to Akadou Academy" all faculty members except Yankumi and Principal Sawatari greeted.
"Shin! what are you doing here?" Yankumi finally found the courage to speak, inquired.
"Shin?" all of the faculty members chorused.
"Yamaguchi-sensei do you know each other?" Ayukawa asked while pointing to both Shin and Yankumi.
Shin just nodded then smile "Yo Yankumi" he said. Yankumi just smiled back at him.
"Sawada.. that Shirokin's Sawada?" the teachers turned their heads to Principal Sawatari who's having same reaction as Yankumi.
"Long time no see Vice Principal Monkeyman" Shin smirked at him
"Sawatari.. Principal Sawatari" Principal replied.
"Sawada.. Director Sawada" Shin throw right back at him with a teasing voice which makes the Principal frown.
After enjoying on watching the Principal's reaction.. he faced the faculty staffs..
"I expect great work and cooperation from you guys.." he said only a few words but somehow sent everybody the idea that he was expecting them to do good on their works..
All of the staffs nodded including Yankumi who was smiling all the time at him..
Shin was sure running away won't do.. he just have to be comfortable with her.. although he was so sure he doesn't want her to treat him as one of her "precious students" again..
When the bell rang the other faculty staffs including Yankumi and the principal bowed as they go on their way to start class. however..
"Ms. Yamaguchi.. can I talk to you for awhile?" it was more an order than a request and Yankumi knew it very well. She tried pushing her thoughts about the kiss earlier.
"Eh?" she said.. 'Slow as usual' he mentally grinned at himself before he motioned his head momentarily telling her to come on his office..
"Director.. why don't you just come with me to my class?" she asked with a happy tone..
Shin grinned.. 'nothing changes.. not a little bit..' he said to himself..
"Are you ordering the director?" he asked with a raised brow but with also a grin on his face..
Yankumi grinned back at him.. "Nope I'm requesting Shin not Director Sawada.. to come along with me to my class." she replied..
Shin flicks her forehead before he smiled at her.. "Well if it is Ojou-sama's order.. who am I to decline" he said with a mocking voice..
She looks around worried.. before she half gave a stern look at him.. "Oi you know clearly that I might get fired if that leaks out" she protested with a pout..
Shin smirked.. "I won't let that happen..after all I already wasted ten years" he said before he walks towards the door..but turned around when he felt that Yankumi wasn't following him.. he looked at her.. she looks like she has no idea on what he just said..
and BINGO!
"What's that suppose to mean?" she asked in a confuse matter..
Shin smirked.. he predicted that..
he decided to let her think on what his words meant on her own..
"Oi Sawada.. what do you mean by that...?" she runs to him and hold on to his arms with a playful smile on her face..
'Crap.. not this close..' he thought..
"Shin" he decide trying to remove away his thoughts,,
"Eh?" she ask..
"Call me Shin.." he said..
"Shin? I'm suppose to call you Director Sawada.." she replied..
Shin rolled his eyes..
"That's just for formality.. you can call me Shin.." he demanded..
She looked and points to the ceiling while moving her hands and constructing some thoughts..
Shin shook his head.. looking at her.. she looks like a kid trying to figure out the answer to a math solution..
"If I could call you Shin.. why not Sawada?" she asked in a mocking tone..
'That's it..' sometimes Yankumi's stupidity can make his patience snap.. He frowned..
"What part of calling me "Shin" instead of Sawada or Director Sawada can you not understand?" he protested..
"Really Yankumi.. you're stupidity rocks..!" he said with an impatient voice..
Yankumi smiled at him.. it was nice to see the ever-serious Sawada Shin lose his composure..
"I'm just kidding.. okay Shin..." she smiled before she walked out of the room..
Shin somehow stiffed at how good hearing her say his name again..
Yankumi poked her head on the door.. "Oi SHin.. come on I'm already late for homeroom.." she said...
Shin smirked.. before he went out and followed her..
'This would definitely be a good start' he thought.
