First year middle school student Kamui Gakupo. Sounds cool doesn't it? The moment I stepped on to the middle school wing I saw an angel. Our eyes met and I swear the world stopped moving! All too soon she kept walking leaving me speechless at the front gates.
Suddenly someone ran into my back, but I was still entranced by the beautiful sight that was gradually retreating into the court yard. "Yo Gakupo get a move on!" Akaito punched my shoulder breaking me out of my trance.
"aaaaaaand the hot blooded bandit Akaito arrives!" Meiko loudly announced.
"Hey don't go around giving me weird titles it should be 'the great crimson idol Akaito'!"
As Meiko and Akaito argued over his title Kiyoteru seemed to be the only one to notice I was spacing out.
"Are you ok" I slowly looked in his direction as he waved his hand in front of me.
"Uh yeah. I just saw an angel…."
He gave me a quizzical look and adjusted his glasses. "Assuming you mean a girl, you should go talk to her."
"K-Kiyoteru you're a genius!" without wasting another second I quickly ran up to the angle that was just about to enter the school. I grabbed the back of her sleeve and grinned as she turned around in shock. "Hi! I'm KamuiGakupo a first year n-nice to meet you." The surprise slowly faded from her face as she turned fully around. She started speaking in English, which I wasn't very good at at the time, but I didn't mind her voice somehow felt good to listen to. After a few sentences she covered her mouth and cleared her throat.
"I'm sorry. My name is MegurineLuka I'm also a first year. Pleased to meet you"
"Likewise, so what class are you in?"
"I haven't checked the board yet…"
"Oh, well I hope we get the same class!"
Just then a boy slightly taller than me hugged her from behind. "Morning Luka-chan~" without warning she was twirled around and kissed. In five seconds my entire world had just crashed.
"K-Keiichi….where in public, and in school no less."
"Sorry I want to let this guy know. ZuruikawaKeiichi class 2-C second year! Also this here is my girlfriend."
"I see….well I guess I'll see you around….Megurine-san." Dejectedly I walked back over to where my friends were.
Gakupo stood up and began writing on the board. "Ok that's all for today I'll tell you all the rest next week."
"awwc'mon I wanna here more!"
"It was just getting good to…."
Many of his students begged him to continue until he put his chalk down and sighed. "Ok ok but you all better not complain to me later that you don't know the material."
As fate would have it not only was the angel in my class but also assigned the seat in front of me. Weeks of total bliss went by for me. She soon became Meiko's friend which in turn meant she would hang out with the group, the group that I was in. over the course of our first and second years we became close friends and she even indirectly gave me permission to call her by her first name. Sometime near the end of our second year when I was waiting for her so we could go to the arcade with the others I saw Zuruikawa.
"Hey man ." He leaned on the wall in front of me. "You've been real chummy with my girl lately. You know she talks about you a lot and it's starting to piss me off. So you just go and I'll walk with her today." He smiled but his tone said scram or I'll kill you. But I wasn't about to back down that easily, I left but stayed close enough so that I could still see him.
"Thanks for waiting Gak-Keiichi? Uh where's Gakupo?"
"When'd you start calling him by his first name? I don't like it."
"I can call my friends whatever I want." It went by so swiftly I barely remember any of it. I saw Zuruikawa slap my angel.
Her eyes watered and she looked down, she inhaled then punched him in the gut. As she turned to run away he grabbed her hair and pulled her back. "Listen you do what I say when I say it got it?" he tugged at her hair making her whimper in pain. "Understand?"
Then something clicked, I'm not sure what it was but before I knew what was going on I was sitting on Zuruikawa throwing wild punches some hitting him and some hitting the cement.
"Gakupo that's enough you don't mean to kill him do you!" she pulled me off by the waist and turned me around. Her eyes still glistened from the tears that threaten to fall. "Thank you I think I'll just go home um you can come too. You…..there's blood on your clothes so we should clean them before it stains." I could only nod still slightly dazed.
When we got there I realized it wasn't that far from my house. She led me up stairs to her to room and told me to sit tight while she went down stairs for a minute. I looked around; I've never been in any girl's room besides my sister. She had beige walls and light pink bed sheets. A wooden bookshelf filled with fish encyclopedias and English novels stood next to her closet door. On the small table next to her bed there was a lamp and a fish tank. In it was a small octopus type creature with a face that resembled Luka's. When it saw me it jumped out and latched onto my face.
"uwaaaaaaa!" after prying it off I held it out in front of me and it blushed. "y-you're so cute!"
"Uh I see you've met TakoLuka I'm glad you two get along." She smiled her angelic smile and sat down the tea and cookies she brought back up with her. "Would you not tell anyone about her please? I don't want anyone to come dissect her."
I nodded taking one of the cookies, ok so she wasn't the best cook but they still tasted alright. "So how long has Zuruikawa been hitting you?"
"This was the first time, don't worry I'll break up with him tomorrow…."
"Um I know this is probably a really stupid time but I've always liked you so when I saw that I kind of just snapped."
"We knew each other since preschool and started going out in fourth grade. I don't think-"
"It's ok I'll wait twenty years if I have to!"
We talked and played with Tako-Luka until dark. After that day I openly tried my best to win her over often causing her to react rather violently, but I didn't mind.
Again he stood and began writing on the board. "Ok that's all next time I'll tell you about our high school life. And FYI there's a quiz on the Edo period leaders tomorrow." The class groaned in unison and as the bell rang the door slammed open.
"What the hell do you think you're telling your students!" Lukathrew a text book hitting Gakupo square in the forehead. Immediately after she ran up and grabbed him by the collar "say one word about our junior year and I'll send you to an early grave."
He gulped and smiled "anything you say, love." She tightened his tie until he was barely able to breathe "o-ok…ok…I promise…" loosening his tie she let him drop to the floor.
Luka walked over to the door, sighed then walked back over to Gakupo. "Hey um…here." Abruptly she hugged him. Before she could pull away as she had initially planned Gakupo held her in place by slyly positioned his arm around her waist. Luka, after coming back to her senses, punched him in the gut causing him to stumble backwards.
"Sorry sorry, I couldn't help it."
"Shut it! That was just….oh forget it!"
"I love you too."
"Don't put words in my mouth! Stupid….."
"I didn't. You know you do and I'll be right here waiting forever"
"You're an idiot. I'll make this perfectly clear. You're annoying, there's no way I'd put up with your endless PDA, you're too lenient with your students. Besides I like my last name and-"
"Excuses, excuses you know just as well as anybody I'll do anything you tell me to."
"I don't need a puppy."
Meiko suddenly bounced in and dragged Luka off to lunch "C'mon I made egg rolls today and they aren't salty this time I swear!"
