First Murder Case
I followed the devil teacher upstairs. He was still grumbling as we opened the door to my new class. Class 2-2.
"Back to your seat, kids!" the devil started again. Most of them let a deep sigh as they saw him. "Aw, not the king moron again~~~" "Geez, what a pain in the ass.." I heard them.
"Awright, shut your traps now! I'm Kinshiro Morooka, your homeroom teacher from today forward! First things first! Just 'cause it's spring doesn't mean you can swooch over each other like love-struck baboons. Long as I'm around, you students are going to be pure as the driven snow! Now I have to introduce this new student even I don't want to…" He pulled me closer roughly. Almost tore my sleeve.
"This sad sack's been thrown from the big city out to the middle of nowhere like yesterday's garbage. And he's just as much of a loser here as he was there, so you girls better not get any ideas about hitting on him! Tell 'em your name, kid! And make it quick!!" he yelled at me again.
'who are you calling a loser?' this oldman was really SOMETHING!! If I could I really wanted to punch his gut, but I'd rather not. So, like he said. I made it quick. "Nice to meet you all, I'm Seta Souji…" I bowed, smiling again.
"Tch, what the heck is that formal and blunt attitude?? Trying to hitting on girls again huh? Better stop it. I warned you all, in here you got to stick your butt and dug your head to the book, you heard me??!!" not again!!
"Err, Sir!!!" I looked up. A short brown-haired girl raised her hand, then pointed it to the chair beside her. "Is it okay if the transfer students sit here?", she giggled.
"Huh? Yeah, sure! You hear that! So hurry up and siddown already!" He pulled me roughly again. 'Yeah, just tear my uniform apart sir! Then I'll make you pay for it!
I walked down the aisle, then sit next to that brown-haired girl. "He's the worst,huh? Rotten luck for you to get stuck in this class...Well,. we'll just have to hang in there for a year," she whispered. "Oh yeah, by the way I'm Chie Satonaka," she offered a hand then giggled again.
I accepted it, "Seta Souji.." I smiled.
"Okay, Souji-kun then..." she smiled again. Well, she's cute. No, no!! What do I thinking???!! "Oh you're from the city right?" she asked, turned behind. "Hey, Yosuke! You got friend now! Hey, what is wrong with you??"
I turned behind. A blonde-haired guy sticked his head down to the table, seemed depressed. Then I remembered, he was the guy that got bike-incident this morning.
"Ngghh, oh it's nothing...just...leave..m—me al-loone please~~" he said it desperately.
"Huh? Hey Yosuke!" now she yelled.
"Shut your traps kids!! I'm taking roll here, and I damn well expect you to respond in an orderly manner!" that old devil started again, now he grumbled. "..But what do I know...it's not like the old days. Even here, kids grown up so damn fast. Everytime I turn my bak, you're fooling around those damn phones, checking your life-journals and your my-places..."
Yeah. Whatever.
The clock had striked twelve when I heard the intercom speaking.
"---attention, all teachers. Please report immediately to the Faculty Office for a brief staff meeting. All students must return to their classrooms and are not to leave the school until further notice---"
"Hrrmmh, You heard the announcement! Don't go anywhere until you hear otherwise". Then he left.
"Geez, he seriously getting on my nerves," Chie whispered. She stood up, "I out of here, if you wanna find me, just go to the rooftop then," she sighed then left too.
I just nodded then put my belongings back to my bag. Thinking what should I do next, and then I remembered the book I brought.
Everyone still busy with their own activity as I still reading my favorite book. Taiko. Arrghh, why did Hanbei must die??!
"Oh yeah, Did you hear? I heard paparazzi's looking all over for that announcer." I looked up. Hey, is that the nerd student?? It EXPLAINS a lot why his glasses are sooo damn thick! He must be gazed gossip magazine since born.
"Huh? You mean Mayumi Yamano, right? I heard some guys spotted her at shopping district." Now the man with spiky hair speaking. Continues on reading. Not interested.
The nerd leaned to the spiky boy "Actually I heard that…" he whispered something. "WHA—ARE YOU SERIOUS??!" the spiky boy yelled. Well, now that got me curious!!
The spiky walked closer to the black haired girl that sat in front of me. "H-hey Yukiko-san, Mind if I ask you something…? Is it true that announcer's staying at your family's inn?"
The girl gasped. She turned her face away, I could tell she was shivering.
"I—I can't discuss such a thing.." she demanded.
"B—but…" the spiky boy walked closer to the girl. Trying to get the real answer. I ready to stand up when Chie came.
"Stop bothering Yukiko, could you?" she stood up in the middle, in front up those two guys.
"Sa—satonaka-san…Well, you're right! I'm sorry to disturb you Yukiko-san… Goodbye!" then they ran away.
" Sheesh, how long this is gonna take?" she said as she folded her both hands. Smiling to Yukiko.
"There's no telling," as the black haired girl who called Yukiko smiled.
"I shoulda left before the announcement came on…" She leaned back. "By the way, didja try what I told you the other day? You know… That thing about rainy nights…" She began to spirit up.
"Oh… No, not yet. Sorry." Yukiko sighed.
"Ahh, that's okay. Well, it's just, I heard a guy in the class next door yell something like, "My soulmate is Yamano, the announcer!" She mimicked the expression. Gah, that's funny.
---^-- Attention, all students. There has been an incident inside the school district. Policce officers have been dispatched around the school zone. Please stay calm and contact your parents or guardians as soon as possible, and quickly leave the school grounds. Do not disturb the police officers. Head directly home. I repeat…--^--
"Incident??!!" a student yelled. "Something happened??!" the girl next to her questioned. "C'mon let's take a look!!" then they gone.
"Gaahh~~ I'd rather go home now," said Chie. She stood up, looking at me. "Hey, are you going home by yourself? Why don't you come with us? By the way, this is Yukiko Amagi", she reached Yukiko.
"Aw, Chie.. Oh, nice to meet you… I'm sorry that this is so sudden."
"C'mon, don't apologize like that. It makes me look like I got no upbringing. I just wanted to ask some stuff. Really!" Chie take her bag. Me too. Yeah, not really bad day ever. Note that in the first day I can go home with some girls.
And when we ready to take off, that Yosuke guy approaching us, sweating. "Uh, umm, Miss Satonaka…?" holding a DVD. "This was really awesome. Like the way moved was just amazing to see… And… this was an accident!! Please just have mercy until my next paycheck! Seeya, thanks!!"
"Stop right there! What did you do to my DVD? What the!? I can't believe this! It is completely cracked… My "Trial of The Dragon"…!!! Yooossuukkkeeeee!!!!!!!!" and then I wished that I have a remote control from The Click movie so I could turn the scene into slow motion. "You bastard!" She kicked him there. Wow, it seems painful.
"C-critical hit to the nads…"
"Y-yosuke-san…A-are you alright?" said Yukiko.
"He's fine Yukiko. Let's ditch him and go home."
We were outside when a strange boy confidently approached Yukiko. "You're Yuki right? Y-you want to go hang out somewhere?"
"What…? Wh-who are you?" said Yukiko.
Two boys that behind us saw it. One of them raised his eyebrow , " What's up with him? What school's he from?"
And the other one was rolling his eyes, " Never mind that, he's going for Yukiko-san. Man, you think he'd at least wait until she's alone to make his move…"
The first boy replied " I bet you a can of TaP he gets knocked out."
"No bet. Haven't you heard how difficult the Amagi Challenge is?". They keep on talking.
The strange student said " Um, s-so … are you coming or not?"
"I-I'm not going…" replied Yukiko.
"…Fine!" the he ran away.
"Wh-what did he wanwt from me..?" Yukiko muttered.
"What did he want…? Obviously, he was asking you out on a date," Chie rolled her eyes.
"Huh? Really…?" Yukiko surprised.
"You really had no clue? Sheesh… But then again, that was way over the top. It was creepy how he called you Yuki all of sudden," added Chie.
"Yo, Yukiko-san!" we turned back. Oh, that Yosuke guy from before. Wait, he's already ride on his bike. If I were him, I dunno if I could stood up after being kicked like that. "Turned down another lovelorn fool, huh? Man, you're cruel… You got me the same way last year."
"I don't recall doing that," said Yukiko.
"Whoa, you serious? So then, you wanna hang out sometime!?"
"…I'd rather not."
"That'll teach me to get my hopes up. Anyway, you two better not pick on the transfer student to much. Bye!"
"We're just curious, is all!" Chie yelled.
"U-um, I'm sorry for dragging you into this, Souji-kun…" said Yukiko.
"Nah, it's okay. C'mon let's go. Everybody is staring."
"Ah, so you came here because of your parent's job. Haha, I thought it was something way more serious. There really is nothing here,huh? That is what makes it nice, but there's nothing much we can show to people from outside," then she turned back, walking backward. Oh! Though there is something from Mt. Yasogami… I think out dyed clothes of pottery or something is kinda famous. Oh wait, there's Amagi Inn! Yukikos family runs it. It's the pride of Inaba!"
"Huh? It's..just an old inn," said Yukiko.
Chie rolled her eyes, " Oh no way, it's been in all sorta magazines as a hidden treasure. It's a great inn!! It's been going for generations, and Yukiko here is going to take over someday. The inn actually attracts a lot of visitors to Inaba. It pretty much keeps this town going."
Yukiko stopped, " …I don't think that's entirely true."
"Hey, Souji-kun! So, tell me. You think Yukiko's cute, huh?"
"Huh?...." Well, she is cute and feminine.
"Ahaa! You do really think she is cute so couldn't find a word right? I knew it!" Chie excited.
"Chie! Come on… Don't start this again…!"
"You know, She's really popular at school, but she's never had a boyfriend. Kinda weird,huh?" Chie taunted.
"C-come on, stop it! Y- you shouldn't believe that, okay? It's not true that I'm popular or that I've never had a boyfriend! Wait, no! Wh-what I meant to say was, I don't need a boyfriend! Geez… Chie!" Yukiko defended.
"Hahahaha!! Sorry, sorry. But this is our chance to talk to somebody from the big city,and you barely said a word," said Chie.
Chie walked three steps upon us.
"I'm sorry…" said Yukiko
"For what?" I confused.
"For dragging you all of this…" she replied.
"You…haha , why do you keep apologizing?" I asked
"Huh? What do you mean?" Now, she's the one confused.
"I mean, you didn't do something wrong so you don't have to apologize," I smiled.
"Huh? Oh…" She looked down.
"Don't really think about it," she looked up to me. I smiled. It felt strange but somehow warm.
"O—okay.." wait, did she blushing?
"Hey guys! C'mon hurry up!" yelled Chie.
"Hey, what's that?" Chie pointed to some crowd.
"Dunno, let's take a look" I suggested.
"..so that high schooler left school early, and as she came down this street…" a housewife with bag on his left said.
"Wow. Who could imaging THAT hanging from an antenna?" said the another one.
"I wanted to see it, too, " said the first one.
"Uh, you got here too late… the police and fire department took it down just a moment ago," another housewife appeared.
"Well, I think it's terrifying. I can't believe a dead body showed up around here…" the first one added.
"What the?" Chie surprised. "Wait… What did she just say? A dead body!?"
"I guess so" said Yukiko.
"Hey, what're you doing here?" said a familiar voice. It's Dojima.
"We're just passing by" I replied. "Did something happen?" I asked.
"Huh… I should have figured that'd happen. That damn principal. We told him no to let them through here…" he muttered.
"Souji-kun… you know this guy?" asked Chie.
"Oh, this is my uncle. I'm staying with him." I said.
"Oh hi, I'm detective Dojima, his guardian. Uh well, how should I say this… I hope you get along with him." Dojima bowed. So Chie and Yukiko.
"So what happened?" I asked once again.
"Nothing. Bu you three really ought to stop wandering around and head straight home."
"Okay…" I said.
"Ngghh… Uuuurrrgghh" a man threw up. "Adachi! How long are you going to act like a rookie? You want to be sent back to the central office!?" yelled Dojima.
"I'm sorry…Nngghh " said the Adachi-guy.
"Tch.. Go wash your face. We're gonna go around and gather information!" and Dojima went away.
"Was this what that announcement was about…?" Chie remarked.
"What do they mean… it was hanging from the antenna..?" asked Yukiko.
"Hmmm…" I murmured.
"Hey, Yukiko? Why don't we take Souji-kun to Junes some other time?" Chie clapped her hands.
"Good idea…" Yukiko replied.
"I'd love too" I said.
"Okay, it's decided. Now, let's go home. See you tomorrow Souji-kun," said Chie.
"See you tomorrow" Yukiko smiled and bowed, then followed Chie.
I nodded. Then I'm heading home.
Hahaha… I love Yukiko that's why I planned to hook up Souji and Yukiko.
Sorry for fans of Chie but, you like it or not I'm the author of this story.. LOL
Don't forget to R&R okay :D
