DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
When Ms. Ijiwaru came into the class room her cheek was still swollen from being slapped by Penny. She looked really upset.
"Children," she said, "I'm sure you all heard the terrible news."
"That you went and violated a student's personal belief just to make yourself look good," said Seina. Ms. Ijiwaru glared at her.
"No, I went and did the right thing by making sure you students know to be safe. But now his mother seems to think that I was stepping out of bounds," she said.
"Yeah I bet she did," said Seina. Ms. Ijiwaru continued to glare.
"Anyway I just wanted to let you know that if you chose to help this boy realize how evil he is, you'll receive no criticism on my part," she said.
"Are you saying you want us to harass this boy?" asked Seina, "Isn't that considered a hate crime?"
"Yes it does," said Han from his seat, "and hate crimes are against the law. Should we discuss this matter with the boy's mother who's at the university at the moment?"
"Mr. Ohtori," said Ms. Ijiwaru, "Please let not let this get out of hand."
"Then stop encouraging people to harass this boy Ms. Ijiwaru," said Han, "Don't forget my mother whom you thought was a myth is a lawyer and can easily see to it that charges are pressed up against you should you continue with this. Now then as I recall your job is to teach us history, not teach us to be prejudice, so could you please?"
"Where did you ever get that backbone?" asked Kotoko.
"I think she has something to do with it," said Yasha pointing towards Seina who was turning to smile at Han. Han smiled back brightly.
"Hmm interesting," said Kotoko, "So Han gets a love interest and suddenly seems a bit bolder. Yet when you get a love interest and you are suddenly a weakling." She looked over at her brother who had lowered his eyes in shame. "I'm sorry, that was out of bounds."
"No you're right," said Yasha, "I am acting like a coward in all of this. I'm just standing by and letting it happen without even coming to his aid as friend. Han's been standing up more of him than I have."
Han shifted his eyes over to his brother at the mention of his name to see him looking ashamed of himself.
"Is he okay?" Han whispered to his sister.
"He's feeling guilty about all of this and afraid if I'm not mistaken," said Kotoko softly.
"Oh I see," said Han feeling bad for his brother.
Soon it was lunch time and the triplets were quick to get their food and find a secured place to sit far away from most of the crowd. Suddenly they noticed that the cafeteria had gotten really quiet. They looked to the door and saw Hisoka had entered with his Azumi and Aki. The three of them walked as casually as they could towards the counter to order.
"I'll have the G lunch with a fruit salad please," said Hisoka.
"Oh you like your fruit huh Fruit?" someone called out.
"Who said that?!" shouted Azumi, "I'll make you eat your food through a straw so help me!"
"Azumi shush!" said Hisoka.
"It's alright Hisoka," said one of the chefs, "I know you normally get the fruit salad with the G lunch." He severed it up with a smile and handed it to him without a fuss.
"Thanks," said Hisoka. He was about to turn around when he came up next to a football player again.
"So if I were to eat all of this would I suddenly find you attractive?" he asked.
"Dude there's nothing in the world you could eat that would make you look desirable to anyone," said Azumi.
"Shut up bitch," said the football player.
"Don't you talk to her like that!" said Hisoka.
"You're lucky you were allowed to come back to school today after what you did to Hisoka yesterday!" said Aki.
"Sorry," said the football player moving out of the way. As Hisoka walked past him he was certain he felt the player grab his ass. He thought he was should say something but decided he'd just rather go and sit down.
When they came to the table with the triplets Azumi immediately took the only seat next to Yasha glaring at him.
"I hope you weren't saving that seat for anyone because I can guarantee there's no way in hell I'll let you even near my cousin as long as you're going to keep acting like a coward around him!" she said.
"You know you and my mom don't have to constantly protect me like this right?" said Hisoka a little bit annoyed as he sat down next to her. He looked over at Yasha and actually smiled at him.
"How has your day been going so far Hisoka?" asked Kotoko.
"It's been okay. I think a lot more people are more eager to leave me alone after the show my mother made this morning when she brought me to school. Dad wanted to come too, but he had a meeting at work and Mom was already coming here for her lecturing," said Hisoka.
"Yes I'm going to be seeing her in class today right after lunch," said Kotoko.
"If she asks please tell her I've been doing okay for the most part?" Hisoka pleaded.
"Well I usually don't like lying to adults I hold in high respect but I'll try not bringing it up," said Kotoko, "And that includes what our marvelous history teacher told us today."
"What did she say?" asked Azumi.
"She more or less encouraged us to harass you for choosing to be evil," said Kotoko.
"What she can't do that!" said Azumi.
"Yes we made sure to let her know that," said Han.
"Okay Father seriously has to be let known about this and fire her!" said Aki.
"Fire who?" asked Tootsy walking up to the table with a tray filled with cake.
"That evil history teacher," said Han.
"Oh I never liked her either," said Tootsy.
"Yeah," said Mari as she sat down next to Aki. Aki blushed brightly.
"Well if my mother has anything to say about it she'll probably be out of here soon!" said Hisoka.
"I saw her slap that teacher this morning," said Tootsy, "Can't say I blame her. My mother was saying she'd like to come down and slap her herself."
"Mine too," said Mari.
"That would have been very painful," said Kotoko.
"I just wanted to be treated normal. I don't want my parents to feel the need to follow me to school everyday or deal with people who think I'm some sort of disease freak," said Hisoka. All of his friends looked at him with sympathy.
"If it means Hisoka, we don't see you in any different way. To us you're still the boy we've always known growing up," said Aki. Hisoka smiled at him.
"Thanks Aki," he said.
"Hisoka," said Kotoko once lunch had ended and everyone headed towards the other classes, "If you want I can talk to your mother about not coming with you to school to escort you around."
"No it's not so much as her coming with me, it's just her like saying some of the things she said this morning or her slapping the teacher. Granted the teacher's bitch but it was still kind of embarrassing to see my mom slap her in front of everyone."
"I could talk to her about that if you wish," said Kotoko.
"Nah don't worry about it," said Hisoka. "You know how stubborn my mother is. But thanks for the offer. See you at Host Club."
"See you then," said Kotoko.
When she came to her university classes, she was the last one to arrive. Her cousin Eiichi was sitting in the center of a table surrounded by most of the students boasting and bragging about something. He looked up however when he heard Kotoko put some of her books down onto the table.
"Hey Kotoko," he said, "Heard you had a fruit going to your school now."
"I beg your pardon?" asked Kotoko.
"Heard you got a little fag at the high school now," said Eiichi.
"The proper term is homosexual and even so, what does it matter to you?" asked Kotoko.
"I don't know I'd be a little bit testy if a fag was going to go to school with me," said Eiichi.
"Well it's really none of your business," said Kotoko, "And since you're family I think it's only fair to warn you not to refer to my fellow classmate with that word you keep insisting on using."
"What fag?" said Eiichi, "That's how I refer to people like that. So if I'm going to call that little fag a fag then I shall."
"Who do you thing you're calling a fag Mr. Ohtori?!" Penny shouted walking into the classroom.
"Uh," stuttered Eiichi, "I was just referring to a student at my poor cousin's school who's…,"
"Please tell me you're not talking about the boy that a teacher outted as being gay!" said Penny. Kotoko was almost sure she saw steam coming out of the doctor's ears.
"Well I um," Eiichi stuttered.
"Mr. Ohtori, please get out of my class room right now. If I calm down I'll let you back in understood," said Penny pointing to the door.
"But my family's the one that pays for this program," said Eiichi.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm," said Penny looking at her watch.
"What?" asked Eiichi.
"I'm just waiting for you to make your point in the matter," said Penny, "Out!"
"You'll be hearing form my mother about this outrage," said Eiichi.
"And in the mean time I'll make sure your grandmother hears about you," said Penny. She and Rika where are really good terms. "Now then let's get started."
"And so for the rest of the class I thought that since this is a learning hospital we might go down and see how some our maternity patients are doing." said Penny once the lecture was close to being done.
The students all stood up and followed her out to some of the upper levels. As the class headed down the hall looking at the different patients Kotoko noticed a particular patient of interest coming out of an examining room, her cousin Ichiro's wife Yuina.
"Yuina?" she said surprised.
"Oh Hi Kotoko, what are you doing here?" asked Yuina equally surprised.
"I have my med lecture classes today so I was just going to observe some of the other doctors in action," said Kotoko. "What are you doing here?"
"I was having some abdominal pain," said Yuina, "So I figured I should come and get checked out."
"Everything okay?" asked Kotoko, "Is the baby alright?"
"Yeah it's fine for now. I guess I've just need to calm down a little is all."
"Is it Aunt Mana, is she giving you a hard time?" asked Kotoko. Yuina looked around.
"Eiichi isn't around here is he?" she asked.
"No our instructor kicked him out of the room for something he said about her son," said Kotoko.
"Oh really?" said Yuina, "Well anyway yes you would be right about your aunt. She's kind of insisting that Ichiro and I live with her and Yuuichi at the moment so she can look after me to make sure I have the baby safely. She's doesn't really give me lush peace."
"Yes that sounds like her," said Kotoko.
"I had to come here in secret. Mana's at the spa with Hiromi and actually I should get home before she gets back," said Yuina.
"Of course," said Kotoko. "You know I'm sure Dr. Hitachiin is willingly to look at you in private if you ever need it. She's good like that."
"Thanks I'll think about it," said Yuina before she headed off fast.
"Kotoko come along," called out Penny.
"Coming," said Kotoko, "Um Doctor?"
"Yes?" asked Penny.
"Is is bad when a pregnant woman suffers from abdominal pains?" asked Kotoko.
"Oh yes especially if it's in the first trimester," said Penny, "Why?"
"Just wondering since we're looking at maternity patients," said Kotoko.
'I hope nothing bad happens to Yuina and her baby,' she thought.
