Shin and Yankumi were spending the rest of the day together after work hours, they went to the supermarket to buy some stuffs to use for the preparation for their hotpot dinner tonight. Although they didn't realize it, they somehow looked like a married couple buying stuffs for their family dinner, there are also instances during the day when they had to argue like again a married couple over something which appears to be only a small matter, well everything turned out to be fine at the end. They walked home together while carrying the stuffs that they bought for the dinner.
Meanwhile in Kuma's Ramen Shop
Yabuki Hayato and Odagiri Ryu {two of Yankumi's former student from Kurogin Academy and apparently the ringleaders of the class 3D in their school} were eating their ramen as they enjoy the company of one another while waiting for someone to come over. They seem to be close as usual as they appear to be talking about the present happening on their lives. Kuma after serving a customer joined their conversation for awhile.
"Ne Kuma-san, your business seems to be running smoothly" Hayato said before slurping his ramen.
"You bet.. well I guess my dreams are starting to come real little by little" Kuma replied with a grin
"Glad to hear that, same thing's happening to both of us, we're already achieving what we want ever since we kids" Ryu added.
"Well It's a certain someone's fault" Kuma giggled..
"Oh yeah that certain someone always wearing tracksuit" Ryu replied..
"Always having her hair in pigtails" Hayato added..
"And always going to school with her dorky glasses" the three of them chorused then laugh..
Their conversation was somehow interrupted when two familiar guys came inside the shop..
Kuma and Odagiri somehow recognize them.. "Ogata, Kazama!" they called as Hayato only stared in confusion.
"Kumai-san, Odagiri-san" both Yamato Ogata and Kazama Ren said.. they both take a seat on the same table with Ryu and Hayato.
"It's been awhile Odagiri-san" Yamato said.
"Yeah, so I see both of you are still quite in touch with each other" Ryu replied.
"Ne Ryu you know them?" Hayato asked referring to Yamato and Ren sitting across the two of them.
"They are Yankumi's former students in Akadou Academy's 3D, they are also the ringleaders like us" Ryu introduce them to one another then after awhile they seem to have a bond as if they all know one another after a long time,when again they are interrupted when the door of the ramen shop open and three guys which looked like they are aging on about tweenties enter the shop.
Ami, Kuma's wife greeted them, at first she wasn't able to recognize them for their appearance change after seven years but as she stared at them for a minute things have cleared out on her. She called her husband who came running in a hurry as soon as he heard the names of the customer, the ringleaders somehow stared at the guys curious on who they maybe.
"Minna!" Kuma yelled as he run to them and give them a bear hug.
"It's been awhile!" they chorused. Kuma was too happy to see three of his best friends back in highschool which appears to be Uchiyama Haruhiko who is now a great architech, Noda Takeshi, which is quite a handful to Yankumi back then but now appears to be one of the well known fashion designer and lastly Youichi Minami who is now a successful in the business industry.
As they continue to talk they seat at the tab le beside the Kurogin and Akadou 3D guys who were staring curiously at them, as Kuma notice it he introduced his friends to Yankumi's former students.
"EHHH? You guys are Yankumi's former students too?" Akadou and Kurogin ringleaders chrosued in surprise..
the Shirokin guys nodded in agreement.
"So it turned out to be an unexpected small reunion" Uchiyama said
"You're right Uchiyama-senpai" Yamato said
"Nah just call me Uchi, we're all friends now right?" Uchiyama replied as the rest of the guys nodded.
"So who among you three is the ringleader when you're still in highschool?" Hayato said.
"Ringleader?" Noda asked..
"Yeah you know we're the ringleaders of the 3D class back in our school, so we've been quiet curious on about the ringleader of Shirokin, Kumai-san said that if you combine the four of us, me, Yamato, Odagiri-san and Yabuki-san you'll get the ring leader of Shirokin's class 3D.. so we've been curious on how strong he is.." Ren said as Ryu, Hayato and Yamaoto nodded in agreement.
Minami grinned " well that's true, his quite strong and fierce, he's usualy quiet but when he speaks or order you, you wont be able to say no" he implies
"wow he must really be a tough guy, I wonder how strong he is." Hayato said.
"even Yankumi, can't argue with him" Uchi said smiling, but all of the guys with excemption of Shirokin guys of course looked at him and with a terrible shock on their faces.
"EEEEHHHH?" They chorused..
"Ya..Yankumi? for real?" Ren and Hayato said..
"Yeah, 3D's very own Yankumi" Noda said.
"But you know they usualy fight like married couple whenever they argue, but that's a rare situation really, and in those arguement Yankumi never won.." Minami said.
"So..so who's this ringleader of yours?" Ryu said in amusement and excitement to meet the legendary man. when another interruptions came, panting, catching their breaths and sweating as if they've just finished a 1000m race.
this guys seems to be Keita Takeda, Hikaru Tsuchiya & Kosuke Hyuga from Kurogin Academy's former class 3D, another batch of guys which appears to be Kamiya Shunsuke, Kuraki Satoru, Ichimura Rikiya and Hongo Kengo came dashing inside the shop, good thing there's no more customer during that time in the evening but them.
"Oh what bring you guys here?" Hayato said.
"WE HAVE BIG NEWS!" Seven of them screamed, then they looked at each other..
"Hey spill it out!" Ren said..
"WE HAVE BIG NEWS" they screamed again then look at the other batch of guys who's been saying the same..
Shirokin guys stared in amusement.. "They are probably Yankumi's former students too" Uchi whispered to other Shirokin guys then they nodded.
"Come on guys say it!" Hayato, Ryu, Yamato, & Ren ordered..
they finally snapped out then screamed "YANKUMI HAS A IKEMEN BOYFRIEND!" They chorused then looked at one another.. Shirokin guys can't help but crack a laugh and the rest of the ringleaders laugh as well.
"Hey what are you guys laughing at!" they seven boys exclaimed
"Hey you're imitating us!" Hyuuga said pointing to the Akadou guys..
"You're the one imitating us!" Hongo said pointing to the Kurogin guys..
"Oi stop it guys.." Ryu and Yamato tap their shoulders to calm them, they combine four tables and seat together with the Shirokin guys..
"Hey do you know this guys?" Kuraki said..to Yamato and Ren
"They are all Yankumi's former students like us" Ryu interrupted.. just as when he speaks rest of the Akadou guys recognize him.. "Ah Odagiri-san, it's been awhile" Akadou guys chorused. After lots of explanation and introduction, they managed to get along just fine as if they were classmates and long time friends, they are having quite a talk about Yankumi's goofy-ness when Uchiyama interrupted
"Hey you punks, you said awhile ago that Yankumi has an Ikemen boyfriend" just when he finished the rest of the guys stand up and yelled to disbelief "I forgot!" Kuraki shouted..
"YANKUMI HAS AN IKEMEN BOYFRIEND!" they chorused.
"Nah you might've seen one of her former students with him again" Yamato said
"There you have it another Odagiti Ryu" Hayato added.
"But you know Yabuki-san, I saw that man taking Yankumi to school and taking her home after work hours.." Hongo protested.
"Me, too I saw them in the supermarket, if you would ask me I trust my eyes on what I saw, is as if they were married couples having a good time together picking up things to buy." Takeda said.
"Well that doesn't prove that he was her boyfriend you know" Ryu said.
Tsuchiya stand up with a terrified look on his face.." Then convince my poor eyes that what I saw wasn 't real.."
"What did you saw?" Ren asked then Shirokin, Akadou and Kuroginguys leaned forward to hear what he was about to say..
"What kind of student would walk on the street holding hands with her teacher and going inside an apartment... together.."
nothing's making a single sound from the guys..as they fell into awkward silence,the same thoughts were running in their mind except for the Shirokin guys who seemed to have a clue on who the hell was the "ikemen guy" they were talking about. Is as if their minds are connected on discovering who the mystery guy is.
