Kumiko Yamaguchi, a.k.a. Yankumi, is now overseeing the new students of Class 3D of Akadou High School, who still have not opened up to her and are giving her a hard time. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing for Ren, a former 3D student who just graduated. The police are after Ren for being involved in an illegal drug transaction. Upset Kumiko tries to find him with the other former 3D students. However, they later find out from her grandfather, the head of the Oedo Family, the shocking identity of the mastermind pulling the strings of the drug deal Ren is being accused of…who is it?
Hinako awoke to the sun shining through the little crack in the curtains. With a smile, she stood up and stretched. She walked over to the window and opened the curtain, letting sunlight pour into the bedroom. Hinako closed her eyes, enjoying the heat when a groan sounded behind her. She turned to the body bundled up in covers in the bed. Hinako got back into bed and she slowly pulled the covers back to see the love of her life, Ogata Yamato. She gently ran her fingers through his hair until something sparkled. She raised her left hand to see her engagement ring. Hinako smiled thinking back when she was still in high school, the birth of the twins, and when Yamato proposed to her on graduation day. It's been only six months, but it was still the greatest day of her life. A hand gently took Hinako's bringing her out of her thoughts. She looked back at Yamato to see his brown eyes looking at her, curiously.
"What are you smiling about?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just thinking about us." Hinako replied while leaning down and kissed him.
Hinako got off the bed only to be pulled down by Yamato and into a warm embrace.
"What about us…?" He whispered.
"I was thinking about when we officially first met because that time when we were freshman doesn't count…" Hinako explained as she and Yamato laughed. "About the time when you confessed your love to me after we prove you innocent, when Hiroto and Yumiko were born, and most of all, when you proposed to me…"
"Those were good times." He smiled.
"Yes, they were." She smiled as she wiggled out of his arms and went to the nursery to see Hiroto and Yumiko, who are both wide-awake.
"Good morning, you two." Hinako cooed at them. "Looks like you two are awake. Are you two awake?" Hinako first picked Yumiko up. Her brown eyes that completely matched Yamato's eyes, moved around the room. It seems she's looking for someone.
"Oh? Are you looking for papa?" Hinako pouted as Yamato walked in with a yawn.
Yumiko smiled at Yamato and reaches her arms out for him. He smiled before taking her into his arms. He looked at Hinako to see her pouting.
"What?"
"She only wants papa and not mama." Hinako mumbled as she crossed her arms.
"That's because she likes me more." Yamato snickered.
"What?!" Hinako's jaws dropped. "She does not."
"Does too." Yamato replied. "Also, there's someone who wants mama." He pointed behind her, and she saw Hiroto, reaching his arms out for her. His dark brown eyes matched Hinako's.
Hinako smiled at him and picked him up. "Whatever you say, Yamato. But you just wait, someday she'll start to notice boys and maybe she'll have a boyfriend..." Hinako said as she walked out.
"What?! Who said she'll have a boyfriend?! No way!" Yamato said, holding Yumiko close and shook his head.
Hinako laughed. Poor Yumiko. She has a over-protective father. Hinako went outside and grabbed the mail. When she came back in, Yamato was trying to make breakfast as Yumiko watched him from her highchair. While putting Hiroto in his highchair, Hinako smiled when Yamato would turn to Yumiko and make a funny face making her laugh. Once Hiroto was in his highchair, Yamato turn to Hiroto and make another funny face, making him laugh as well. Yamato was such a great father.
"So, are you still meeting with Izumi and the boys later today?" Hinako asked as she sorted the mail.
"Yeah, we're meeting at Kumai-san's." Yamato answered as he cooked some bacon and eggs. "You can come too, you know."
"I know, I know. But I have to go to the cemetery today, remember?"
Yamato paused a little before putting the eggs on the plate. "Oh yeah. Today's the day of your brother's..."
"Yeah..." Hinako nodded.
It was the anniversary of the death of Hinako's brother, Hiroki. Yamato knew she didn't like talking about her brother or what happened the night he was killed. He never pushed her; Hinako was brought out of her thoughts when a pair of arms wrapped themselves around her waist. Hinako leaned back into the owner's chest, who was none other than Yamato.
"If you want, I could go with you." He whispered into her hair.
"No, it's fine." Hinako shook her head. "I can go alone. But do you think you can take the twins with you to Kumai-san's? I know Izumi and the boys would love to see them. They haven't seen them in a while."
"Sure, I don't mind." Yamato said, as he moved his head to where Hinako's shoulder and neck met.
They stood there for a while until Hinako smelt something burning.
"Um...Yamato..."
"Yeah?"
"The eggs are burning."
"Oh, shit!"
With that said, he let her go and ran over to the stove. Hinako couldn't help but laugh. After they dressed up the twins and themselves, Hinako leaves them with Yamato and makes her way to the cemetery. Hinako was only a few blocks away when she heard someone calling her name.
"Hinako-san!" She turned to see Sayaka, Reita's so-called girlfriend or in his own words 'a girl who is just a friend'. Anyway, as she got closer, Hinako waved at her.
"Ohayou, Hinako-san!" Sayaka bowed.
"I see you're formal as ever, Saya-chan." Hinako smiled. With that said, Sayaka smiled and laughed.
"Where are you going?" She asked, while looking at Hinako's black dress. In other words, her funeral dress.
"Going shopping with my mother-in-law." Hinako lied. "So, what about you? From what I heard, you got into Akadou."
"Yes, I did." Sayaka nodded. "Thanks to you and Izumi, more girls wanted to join, so I signed up too. I thought about giving it a chance."
"This wouldn't have anything to do with a certain 3-D student, would it?" Hinako asked as she winked.
"What?! No!" Sayaka blushed, because she knew Hinako was talking about Reita.
"Right..." Hinako raised an eyebrow. "Well, I better get going. It was great seeing you again Saya-chan. Maybe next time you, me, and Izumi can talk about that 3-D student who has nothing to do with you going to Akadou..." With that said, Sayaka blushed harder than before.
"Ja ne, Saya-chan." Hinako winked.
"Good-bye, Hinako-san." Sayaka bowed, before walking off.
Hinako shook her head before walking towards the cemetery, again. She knew it was only a matter of time before Reita and Sayaka would start dating Reita, and they will eventually become boyfriend and girlfriend. They're acting just like Yamato and Hinako before they started going out and dating. And eventually become boyfriend and girlfriend. Hinako smiled by thought of it.
When she finally arrived at the cemetery, she gets some flowers to put on her brother's grave. After that, Hinako sits down in front of his grave. She spent the next few minutes sitting there talking to her brother. Including her parents. After that, Hinako made her way to Kumai-san's. As she walked in, Kumai-san greeted her and pointed where Yamato was sitting. When she got to Yamato, she saw Ren and Izumi sitting beside him. Ren was holding Hiroto, while Izumi was holding Yumiko.
"Hey Ren, Izumi." Hinako greeted them, while walking behind Yamato and putting her hands on his shoulders.
"Hey, Hinako." Ren smiled, before playing peek-a-boo with Hiroto.
"Hi, Hinako." Izumi smiled, letting Yumiko play with her chopsticks.
Yamato grabbed Hinako's hands and pulled them down, bringing her closer to him. Hinako rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Hinako only got a few seconds of peace before the shop's door was violently opened. Honjo, Ichi, Kura, and Kamiya came running in yelling out different things at the same time. Hinako removed herself from Yamato and looked at the 4 boys.
"What's up?" Yamato asked, getting Yumiko from Izumi.
"Why are you so worked up?" Ren wondered as Hinako got Hiroto from him.
With that said, they started yelling at the same time. Yamato, Ren, Hinako, and Izumi couldn't understand them.
"Huh?" Yamato tilted his head.
The four boys started yelling at the same time again. Still, couldn't understand them at all.
"Stop talking at once! Speak one at a time!" Yamato shouted, pointing his finger at them.
Ichi grabbed a water glass from the table and drank it then pasted it onto Honjo. Finally, Ichi spoke.
"Yankumi was walking with some dude!"
"What?!" Ren said as his eyes widened.
The girls' eyes widened. Even Yamato's.
"You guys saw them, too?" Honjo asked the other three boys.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." They nodded.
"He was totally good-looking, too!" Kamiya added.
"No way." Yamato laughed as he shook his head.
"I agree." Hinako nodded.
"You guys are hallucinating." Izumi laughed.
"Probably an illusion." Ren added.
"Yeah, you guys are hallucinating." Izumi laughed.
"We're not hallucinating!" Honjo argued.
"It's going to snow tomorrow!" Kamiya shouted.
"Like a snowstorm!" Kura added.
"Kuma, table for two!" A high voice called.
The eight turned to see Yanumi with a good-looking guy. Just like Kamiya said. Also, Kamiya's right, it is going to snow tomorrow. Izumi pinches herself to make sure it was real. Yankumi seated the guy down at a table next to theirs before she finally noticed the eight.
"Hm?" She turned. "Guys! Long time no see. How're you doing?" She smiled.
They didn't answer her. They were too shocked to say anything.
"What's so jawdropping?" Yankumi wondered.
"Aren't you, Odagiri?" Kumai-san said, walking up to the guy.
"It's been a while." Odagiri bowed to Kumai-san.
"This is Odagiri Ryu." Kumai-san starts to explain. "Yankumi's student from Kurogin High."
"Student?!"
"Well...that explains a lot..." Hinako whispered to Yamato as she sat down.
"Oh! So, that's how it is." Ichi said.
"So that's why..." The boys laughed.
"They were worked up because they saw you with a guy." Kumai-san said, smiling at Yankumi.
"They said it was impossible and it would snow tomorrow." Ami-san added.
"No way in hell can Yankumi get a hot boyfriend." Honjo stated.
"Never ever." The others agreed.
"How stupid of us." Kamiya said, making the others laugh.
"Really stupid!" They laughed harder.
"Like I said, no way in hell." Yamato smiled.
They continued to laugh.
"No way in hell, they say?!" Hinako heard Yankumi's voice.
Hinako couldn't help but to hold Hiroto closer to herself, and move closer to herself, and move closer to Yamato and Yumiko. Suddenly Yankumi stood up.
"That's enough out of you guys! Meet me outside now! What do you mean I can't get a..." She stopped when Odagiri grabbed the back of her collar.
"Calm down. There's two babies among us." He said, calmly before looking at Kumai-san. "Kumai, two bowls of ramen noodles."
"Got it!" Kumai-san nodded and took the hang of eight's orders as well. He left and they all sat at a long table. Hinako with Hiroto in her lap and she sat beside Yamato with Yumiko in his lap across from Ren and Izumi. Kumai-san came back with their orders and then sat down on the other side of Hinako across from is Odagiri.
"Yummy!" They said as they ate.
Hinako took out two bottles from her bag and gives one bottle to Yamato to feed Yumiko, while the other bottle is for herself to feed Hiroto. They began to feed the twins.
"You know, the three of you are great." Yankumi said as she looked at Yamato, Ichi and Kamiya. "You're attending school regularly without cutting."
"Yeah, somehow or another." Yamato smiled, while feeding Yumiko.
"You've all matured since high school." Yankumi smiled as she turned to Ren, Kura and Honjo. "How's work going for you guys? A bit more familiar now?"
"Just perfect!" Kura cheered.
"Kura is always making the boss mad." Ren laughed.
"Don't say it! Shush!" Kura shushed him.
"I always piss off my dad." Honjo sighed. "It's really tough to take over the tofu shop."
"Work is tough, no matter what it is." Yankumi looked at Yamato and Hinako. "Just like being parents to twins."
"You got that right." Hinako smiled, while feeding Yumiko.
With that said, the others laughed.
"They should quit paying us pennies!" Kura whined.
"I know!" Ren nodded. "That's why I'm getting a part-time night job."
"Part-time night job?" Yankumi looked at him in shock. "Which means..." Suddenly she covered her eyes.
"Baka!" Ren shouted. "It's a measly delivery job."
"Oh...I see." Yankumi lowered her hands with a sigh of relief. "For sure I thought you started a part-time job doing something seedy."
Suddenly, everyone laughed.
"Not even." Izumi laughed.
"Seedy, like what?" Kura laughed harder.
Yamato stopped laughing. "Yankumi, are you still having a tough time with your students?" He asked, curiously.
"Sort of." Yankumi nodded. "Even with Akagi Sayaka, the only girl in the whole class, the boys are still reckless."
"Well, we rejected her at first, too." Kura pointed out.
"Yup!" Ichi nodded. "Her lectures were super unbelievable."
"It's annoying till you get used to it." Honjo agreed.
"Remember, we bet on how many days she'd last?" Kamiya added.
"Oh! We did that, too!" Kumai-san said.
"Eh, for real?!" Izumi said, looking surprised.
"Yup." Kumai-san nodded.
"What about you, Odagiri?" Ren asked as he turned to Odagiri.
"Yeah, I think we did." He gave a slight nod.
"We all did the same thing." Yamato smiled.
"Seriously, it's a small world." Hinako added.
"Blows my mind." Ren smiled.
With that said, they all laughed until they heard a sniff. They turned to Yankumi.
"Are you crying?" Odagiri asked.
"Baka, I'm not crying!" Yankumi smiled. "I'm happy...my students from Shirokin, Kurogin, and Akadou are here with me. Everyone laughing...I'm super duper happy." She looked down. "I'm really hard I became a teacher."
When she looked back up, her glasses were foggy. They stared at her. Speechless.
"You're fogging up." Odagiri handed her a handkerchief. "Wipe them."
"Thanks." She nodded then wiped her glasses. They laughed.
"Hey, eat as much as you want." Yankumi announced. "Order anything you like. My treat."
"Awesome!" Izumi cheered as the boys cheered with her.
They started to order stuff, making Kumai-san jumped up. Yankumi cheers with them until Odagiri whispered.
"It's not payday yet, right?"
When he said that, Yankumi gasped and then stood up. "Um! No large portions. Also no roast pork in the noodles. Cancel the order of potstickers too, Kuma! Just more noodles, okay?"
"EH?!"
Hinako couldn't help but smile as the boys started to argue with Yankumi. Some things never change. Just like old times...
Elsewhere, Reita's friends were waiting for him along with his 'girlfriend' Sayaka.
Matsushita was watching Mochizuki and Muto were playing rock-paper-scissors while Igarashi was looking at his fingers. Until suddenly a group of bikers came behind them and grabbed them.
"Yo, can I borrow some money?" One of the bikers asked.
"Don't have any." Igarashi answered.
"Shut up and hand it over." A biker grabbed him.
Suddenly Reita came in running and kicked one biker away and punched the other two in the face.
"Reita!" The four boys smiled.
"Keep your hands off my friends." Reita said.
"Who are you?!"
"He is Reita Takasugi of Akadou." Sayaka answered. "You got a problem?"
~The next morning in Class 3-D~
"Those guys yesterday pissed me off." Mochizuki said, punching a soccer ball.
"Whoever they were, Reita and Saya-chan showed them." Muto added.
"They talked big but they were pussies." Igarashi laughed.
"You're awesome Reita." Matsushita said.
"Not really." Reita smiled at them.
"He is cool that way." Sayaka added as she smiled.
"Another fight?" A voice said.
"Is that a problem?" Mochizuki asked, pointing the person on the shoulder.
But then the 6 teens jumped back once they realized it wasn't any of them who said that.
"Don't pop out of nowhere!" Igarashi shouted.
Yankumi started to speak. "Fighting isn't necessarily bad but…"
"Then leave us alone." Muto cuts in.
Suddenly they heard sounds of motorcycles. Everyone in 3D (including Yankumi) looked out the windows and saw a motorcycle gang.
"Reita Takasugi, come out here!" The leader of the gang shouted. "I heard you two and my buddies got friendly yesterday."
"The guys from yesterday…" Mochizuki said.
"They're the Black Skull gang." Sayaka said.
"Black Skull?" Yankumi looked at her.
"A bad motorcycle gang." Sayaka answered as she looked at Reita who looked at her.
Suddenly there was the sound of police sirens. When the Black Skull gang heard them, they decided to retreat. "We're not done with you!" One of the members shouted before taking off in their motorcycles.
After they left, Sawatari called Reita, Sayaka, and the 5 boys to the office…
"Why on earth did you get involved with that sort?!" Sawatari shouted.
Yajima-san runs in along with Baba-sensei. "Principal, they seem to be a very violet group."
"Extortions, assaults…Many run-ins with the police." Baba-sensei added.
"Scary…" Aoi-san said.
"A fight with guys like that of all people…" Sawatari said.
"It wasn't a fight." Mochizuki said.
"Reita stopped them from extorting money from us." Igarashi added.
"You're saying it wasn't some foolish reason?"
"If you don't believe us, then forget it." Reita said.
"Reita…" Sayaka said.
"We can't forget it."
Everyone turned to Yankumi, who walked up to the 6 teens. "Is it true what you told us?"
"Yeah." Reita answered.
Yankumi looked at the six for a moment before turning to Sawatari.
"They're not lying." Yankumi said.
"You believe them?" Sawatari looked surprised.
"I do." Yankumi nodded. "If they're lying, I'll see it in their eyes."
"Are you sure? I'll hold you responsible." Sawatari said. "The next time your students cause trouble, you're fired."
"Fine." She answered. "I'm not afraid to lose my job for them."
"Yamaguchi…" Sayaka mumbled.
After that, the 6 teens returned to the classroom. Mochizuki, Muto, Matsushita, and Igarashi were really pissed about what Yankumi said as they walked in.
"See it in our eyes?!" Mochizuki said.
"She's trying to act tough." Igarashi added.
"She doesn't mean it." Matsushita said.
"Teachers are all the same." Muto added.
"You okay, Reita?" Sayaka asked.
"They're real bad asses." One of the 3D boys said. "Been arrested a lot."
"Seriously?" Muto stood up.
"They'll be back." Another 3D boy said.
"We'll be in deep shit." Another spoke.
Without warning, Reita got up from his desk and started to walk out of the classroom.
"Where're you going?" Mochizuki asked.
"To settle the matter." Reita answered.
"That's crazy." Matsushita shouted.
"They'll kill you." Igarashi added.
"You don't have to do this, Reita!" Sayaka shouted.
"I just don't wanna owe Yamaguchi." Reita said.
With that said, Reita runs out of the classroom. Sayaka turned to the 4 boys with an angry look on her face.
"Mochizuki, Muto, Matsushita, Igarashi…why'd you let him go?" Sayaka asked. "Why let him go alone?!"
"Because…" Matsushita didn't know what to say.
"Those guys are seriously bad…" Mochizuki added.
"Aren't you four his friends?!" Sayaka shouted. "You guys are unbelievable! I'm going after him!"
Without warning, Sayaka runs out of the classroom and out of the school.
"Hang on, Reita! I'm coming!"
Elsewhere, Reita entered the warehouse where the Black Skull gang is at, and he was talking to one of the bikers who was the leader.
"Fight me 1-on-1." Reita spoke.
"1-on-1?"
"If I win, stay away from us and our school." Reita explained.
"Did you hear that?" The leader said to his gang. The Black Skull gang laughed.
"Stop laughing!" Reita shouted.
"Too bad. I don't fight 1-on-1." The leader said.
With that said, an army of motorcycles come rolling in, filled with bikers. Then, the bikers began to attack Reita with wooden bats and metal pipes. Sayaka arrived to find that Reita had already been badly beaten. She began to fight with the group despite being outnumbered, clearing a path through to Reita. As she shielded Reita from being hit with a pipe she suffered a blow to the head and fall to the floor. When the Black Skull gang surrounded Sayaka, Reita suddenly got to his feet and came to Sayaka's side and they begin fighting together. The confrontation abruptly ended when suddenly a loud bang shook the warehouse and a small part of the wall caved in.
"Let them go…my precious students." A voice said.
"Yankumi…" Sayaka mumbled.
"Who the hell are you?!" The leader shouted.
"I'm their homeroom teacher."
"A teacher?" The leader looked puzzled as well as his gang.
The dust cleared and on the other side of the rubble was Yankumi.
"You really messed them up." Yankumi stated. "You're pathetic." She walked in. "All of you ganging up on two high school kids."
"We're teaching him a lesson." The leader said, pointing a metal pipe to Reita. "He gets this for being a cocky asshole." Then, he pointed the pipe to Sayaka. "This girl interfered and we're teaching her a lesson as well. Common sense, right?"
"Don't make me laugh." Yankumi said. "Common Sense? Don't pretend like you know what you're talking about!"
"Watch it." The leader said.
One of the gangsters started to Yankumi and she dodged him. "If word aren't enough, I'll fight you." Yankumi said. "Let me warn you. I don't hold anything back to protect my students."
Without warning, the leader starts to attack Yankumi. But dodged him. One-by-one she took them all down. One of them was about to hit Yankumi in the back of her head with a metal pipe. Until Odagiri appeared.
"Fighting is done with bare hands." Odagiri said.
With that said, Odagiri and Yankumi took the two thugs down. Including the leader.
"Haven't had enough?!" Yankumi shouted.
The Black Skull gang retreated. Some on their motorcycles, and some just run away.
After that, Yankumi turned to Odagiri to speak. "Odagiri…Thank you."
"No problem." Odagiri replied.
Then, they both turned to Reita and Sayaka.
Sayaka used a handkerchief from her pocket to tenderly wipe blood off Reita's cut lip.
"Are you okay?" Sayaka asked.
"Yeah…I'm fine…" Reita replied. "You?"
"Never felt better."
Suddenly, Mochizuki, Muto, Matsushita and Igarashi came running in.
"Reita!" They ran right to Reita. "You okay?"
"Yeah." Reita replied, trying to get up.
"Sorry you had to come alone." Mochizuki first spoke.
"We're so sorry." The four boys bowed.
"Forget about it." Reita replied.
Sayaka didn't say anything, she just smiled.
"You guys…" Yankumi starts to speak as she walked up to the 6 teens. "Now you're real friends." She knelt down to look at Reita straight in the eyes, then brushes the dirt off his clothes. "So reckless, you…"
"No, you…what teacher fights?" Reita asked.
"This one. You fight to protect the things you cherish." Yankumi said.
Reita looked up at Yankumi. "Things you cherish?"
"Yeah." Yankumi replied. "I cherish you guys. Teachers have to protect their students." Then, she stood back up and looks down at her six students. "All right! Let's run into the sunset!"
"Huh?!" Her six students said.
"Follow my lead!" Yankumi said.
The next day, Yamato went off to work while Hinako stayed home with the twins. She thought it was going to be a normal day, but of course that wasn't going to happen.
"Hinako!" Yamato yelled out as he ran into the apartment. "I just got a call from Kura before I got to school. It's Ren!"
That's all she needed to hear. With that said, Hinako quickly dressed up the twins, then they dropped them off with Yamato's mom. Yamato told her how police came to Ren and Kura's work early this morning saying that he was dealing drugs. Hinako knew that wasn't true. Ren would never do that. He just got a job so he could support his sister. Ren wouldn't ruin that just by selling drugs. Yamato also told her that Izumi and the boys were calling everyone from the old class 3-D and were meeting up at the bridge right outside Akadou because they knew Yankumi would go out to find Ren.
They ran all the way to the bridge. Everyone was already there. They looked towards the school and saw Yankumi coming right up the bridge with her usual determined look on her face. Then, she stopped and looked at them in shock. They all ran up to her.
"Kura told me about Ren." Yamato stated when they got to her.
"The cops came to the office this morning." Kura explained. "Ren might get fired."
"He would never do anything illegal!" Izumi said.
"There must be a reason why he's running." Kamiya added.
"I agree!" Honjo said.
"Me too!" Ichi added.
"We believe in Ren." Hinako nodded.
Everyone nodded.
"He's our friend." Yamato smiled.
"Let's find him." Hinako added.
Everyone nodded again making Yankumi smile.
"You guys…"
Yamato stepped forward. "Let's go find him!" He shouted.
"Oh!"
With that said, everyone split up. Hinako and Izumi went with Yankumi and her group. They ran all over town looking for Ren. Soon they came across Reita and Sayaka along with their friends. They ran up to them.
"Takasugi! Akagi!" Yankumi shouted, making the 6 teens turn to them. "Have you seen Kazama?"
"No."
"He's in trouble, right?" Muto asked.
"He's done nothing wrong!" Hinako said, strongly.
"If you see him, please let us know." Izumi added.
"Understood." Sayaka nodded.
"Thank you."
Hinako and Izumi nodded to her before running off with their group. Soon they split up again. The girls stuck with Yankumi because if anyone was going to find Ren, it was her. Yankumi pulled out her cellphone and called Ren, but she didn't get an answer.
"Where is he?" Izumi wondered.
"We'll find him, Sakurai-san." Yankumi smiled.
Izumi nodded. They kept looking. Soon the sky turned dark. They all met up at the park. Yankumi told us to go home and she would continue to look. Everyone nodded with disappointment that they didn't find him yet. Soon the only ones left were Yamato, Hinako, Izumi, Honjo, Ichi, Kura and Kamiya. The 6 teens didn't want to call it a day. They wanted to keep looking. After she said that, her cellphone started to ring. She quickly answered it. It was Odagiri-san. He told her that Ren was at Akadou Academy, in Class 3-D. They raced toward the school and into class 3-D to see Ren sitting at his old desk. He had bruises on his face.
"Kazama!"
"Ren!"
"Thank god." Izumi sighed in relief.
Izumi, Hinako and the boys ran up to him.
"Why are you running around without telling us anything?!" Yamato yelled out.
"Not to mentioned that you had Izumi worried to death." Hinako added.
Honjo nodded. "We were all worried."
"We were out looking for you." Ichi added.
"You should've called!" Kura said.
"We're your friends, aren't we?" Kamiya asked.
Izumi knelt down in front of him. "You're not alone, you know."
He avoided her eyes.
Yankumi walked up to him. "Kazama, you're hurt."
Before she could touch him, he stood and backed away. Izumi quickly stood.
"I'm fine…" He whispered.
"Kazama...why didn't you come to me?" She asked. "Why? Say something!"
He looked down at his feet.
"He didn't want to trouble you." Everyone turned to Odagiri-san. "You'll go out of your way to help him. That's why he didn't tell you…" He looked at Ren. "Right?"
Yankumi turned to Ren. "Kazama..."
Ren gave a little sigh. "In high school...I caused you so much trouble. Even now, after I graduated...I was ashamed."
"Listen... A teacher welcomes trouble from her students." Yankumi said.
"But I'm not your student!" He argued.
"You...are my precious student." She grabbed his arms making him look at her. "Right now, I'm in charge of this class. But you guys who graduated and students from other schools... Are all my precious students. And you're not alone…" She looked at her students. "Not just them. Everyone else from 3-D was looking for you."
He turned and looked at them. They smiled at him. Ren dropped his head and began to sob.
"Gomen. You guys... I'm really sorry."
Izumi went up to him and she hugged him as he cried. Once he calmed down, he started to tell them what happened.
"I... found this sweet job through a friend." He explained. "All I had to do was make a delivery as instructed. But something was odd."
He explained that the instructions led him to a warehouse where a group of men in suit were waiting for him with a van. He said that one of the men told him to open the package he was carrying revealing three little weird statues. The man then told him to put the package in the van, but he was so nervous that he slipped, before he got to the van, braking one of the statues. He began to clean it up, but the man slapped him away. He and his group then started to quickly clean it. Ren said that's when he knew it was something bad. He said he wanted to quit and that he didn't know what he was delivering, but one of the guys started to beat him up. He said that the guy said that he had abetted a crime and that he should do as he's told. The man then got a phone call telling him that the police were coming so they left, leaving him alone in the warehouse.
"I was scared and ashamed." Ren said. "I didn't know what to do. I didn't even realize I had dropped my wallet."
"Why did you accept the job?" Yamato asked.
"I wanted money." Ren quickly answered. "Once I started working, I thought I could support my sister. But my salary's so low... That's why I jumped at the opportunity. I was an idiot."
He began to sob again. Izumi put her hand on his shoulder.
Yankumi sighed. "Listen, Kazama. Trying to make money isn't bad. But don't be fooled by quick easy money. Money is important. But it's not everything. Don't ever forget that." She turned to her other students. "You guys too." They nodded making her smile. "Okay." Then, she turned back to Ren. "You can stay at my house for a while."
With that said, Ren went to Yankumi's house. Hinako, Izumi, Yamato and the rest of the boys decided to stay with Ren. Later that night, Yamato called his mom to see if she could look after the twins for the night. After making the call, Hinako and Izumi overheard Yankumi talking to her two henchmen Tetsu and Minoru about the ringleader of the drug dealers who framed Ren.
"You guys are not going to believe what we heard right out the hallway." Izumi said.
"What is it?" Ren asked.
"Kurose is the ringleader of the drug dealers." Izumi replied.
"Kurose Kentaro?" Ichi said in shock.
"Yes." Hinako nodded. "He uses his success and company as a front for his drug business, and now he is trying to be a politician."
"No way…" Honjo said.
"You got to be kidding!" Kamiya said. "It was him the whole time?!"
"So, he's the one who framed Ren!" Kura added.
"That's unforgiveable." Yamato said as the others nodded in agreement.
With that said, Izumi showed a flyer of Kurose Kentaro. It said he was giving a speech tomorrow for his campaign. Tomorrow the gang of 8 is going to the campaign rally and make Kurose pay.
The next morning, the gang of 8 make their way to the building where Kurose is giving his speech.
"This is it." Yamato first spoke.
"It's huge." Honjo said.
"We should find some evidence here." Ren stated.
"Yeah, let's nail those jerks." Kamiya said.
"How do we get inside?" Ichi asked.
"The security looks pretty tough." Izumi added.
"What's that?" Kura asked, while looking straight ahead.
There was a big sign that said: Kurose Campaign Rally.
"Let's go to the back." Hinako said as she took off running with the others followed.
When they got to the back of the building, they hid behind a big bush. Suddenly Yamato's phone started to ring, and he answered it. It was Yankumi.
"Ogata, what are you doing?" Yankumi asked. "Where are you?"
"At the ringleader's?" Yamato replied.
"What?"
"Kurose Kentaro, right?"
"You idiot! Come back!" She shouted from the phone.
"OI! That car!" Ren shouted, before his mouth was covered by Ichi and Kura.
A black van was approaching and was about to enter the building. The eight knew this was their chance to get inside. After Yamato hanged up his phone, they run towards the van and entered inside it. With that, the van entered the building with the eight inside. When they got inside, they were in some basement area. They looked around to find some evidence of Kurose-san's secret drug business. Ren eventually found some after coming across a box with little statues. The same statues that he saw from the night at the warehouse. He smash one of them and inside was a bag of drugs. Because of that loud smash, they were caught by Kurose-san's men. One of them pulled out a gun and aims at the eight. Luckily, they were rescued by both Yankumi and Odagiri.
After that, Yankumi decided to go face Kurose-san on her own.
"I'll handle things from here." She said.
"What are you saying?!" Ren said.
"I can't put you guys in any more danger." She replied.
"But…" Izumi said as Yankumi turned to Odagiri.
"Odagiri, I'll leave them in your hands."
"Okay." He replied.
"YANKUMI!" The eight shouted.
"Why'd you let her go alone?!" Yamato shouted.
"You're telling us to leave her?" Hinako added.
"We do what we can do." Odagiri stated.
With that said, the eight looked down in disappointment.
~Meanwhile at Akadou Academy in Class 3-D~
Reita, Sayaka and the four other boys were hanging out in the classroom. They were wondering where was Yankumi and Odagiri.
"It's rare for Yamaguchi to be absent, huh?" Muto first spoke.
"Yeah, Odagiri too." Igarashi added.
"It's fishy." Matsushita said.
"Very fishy." Mochizuki added.
"Hey, Reita." Sayaka got up from her desk and went over to Reita. "Did you think something really happen with Kazama-kun?" She asked.
With that said, Reita didn't say anything. Not even a word. But he knew something wasn't right.
Suddenly one of the 3-D boys shouted out in surprise, which surprised the rest of the class. He was looking at his phone.
"What's wrong?" Sayaka asked.
"This! Look, look, look! Isn't this Yamaguchi?!" He asked.
With that said, everyone gathered around to see Yankumi on live TV.
"Yamaguchi!" Igarashi shouted.
"What is she doing?" Mochizuki said.
"Hey, hey. This looks bad." Matsushita added.
Reita and Sayaka looked at each other and nodded. Without warning, Reita rush out of the classroom and Sayaka runs after him.
"Oi, Reita! Sayaka!" Muto shouted out.
The four boys looked each other and then run out of the classroom. Then the rest of class 3-D followed them as well.
When they got there, one of the reporters outside shouted, "A gun! It looks like Mr. Kurose is armed with a gun! The police cannot move in. But just before that…"
"Yamaguchi…" Reita said.
Without warning, Reita and the rest of the 3-D boys charged to the door, but they were blocked by the cops and the swat team. "Move!" Reita shouted. "Our teacher is in there!"
Sayaka looked at the cameras and saw Mr. Kurose pointing a gun at Yankumi. She also saw both Hinako and Izumi with their 3-D classmates. While no one was looking at her, Sayaka quickly heads inside the building, desperate to help Yankumi and her senior classmates. She began to open every door to find them. When suddenly someone grabbed her from behind and put a bag over her head. Everything went black. Sayaka woke up after hearing voices.
"Everything I've built you've just destroyed." A male voice sneered.
"Everything you built was worthless anyway." A familiar voice said.
It was Yankumi's voice. When she heard it, Sayaka began to move around.
"Hey boss, looks like the hostage is awake…" Another male voice said.
"Good. Bring her right here." The first voice ordered him.
Sayaka was picked up by her arms and dragged then was stopped still being held. The bag over her head was removed.
"Sayaka!" She heard Hinako's voice.
Sayaka looked around to see Hinako and Izumi with the rest of old 3-D along with Odagiri-san. In front of them was Yankumi and Kurose-san. He was pointing a gun at her.
"What are you doing here, Sayaka?!" Hinako shouted.
"I saw Yankumi on TV!" Sayaka shouted as she began to struggle again the guy who held her. "And I saw Kurose-san pointing a gun at her, I got worried!"
"Let her go!" Izumi yelled.
With that said, one of Kurose-san's men punched Sayaka in the stomach.
The guys and Yankumi were about to move but Kurose pointed his gun back at Yankumi. Suddenly Sayaka broke free by hitting the two men in the stomach with her elbows and made a run towards Kurose-san to grab the gun. However, it was too late. Kurose pointed the gun at Sayaka and already fired hitting her in the chest. She dropped to the ground in pain. Her vision started to get blurry. Sayaka could hear a lot of voices all around her.
"Sayaka hold on!" Hinako shouted as Sayaka started to slip in and out of consciousness.
"Make way for the paramedics!"
"Sayaka, please hang on!" She could hear Reita's voice.
"She's losing a lot of blood! We need to get her to the hospital!"
Yankumi convinced the paramedics to let her and Reita ride in the ambulance. Before he got in it, he tells his friends to meet him at the hospital. Reita has been holding Sayaka's hand tight throughout the whole ride and when they arrived at the hospital, he and Yankumi ran right beside the paramedics with holding onto her hand in mine for what felt like forever, when a hand stopped me.
"Let her go son, she will be fine, she's in capable hands." The doctor that Yankumi likes said stopping him from going any further.
"We need to move faster. We're losing her!"
And just like that so slowly Reita let go of her hand as she was wheeled off to the operation room.
"We need to operate now."
Beeppppp...
Sayaka opened her eyes only to be welcomed by a blinding light. She quickly blinked getting her eyes used to the light. Then, she looked around the small hospital room to find herself alone. Sayaka sighed. How long has it been since Reita last visited her?
Sayaka started to sit up only to have a sharp pain radiate through her body from the middle of her chest. She let out a quiet scream before slowly resting her body back down. Then, she took a very deep breath through her nose then slowly released it through her mouth relaxing her body. Soon the pain faded. Sayaka lifted her right hand. It shook as she brought it to the spot on her chest where the pain still had a light pulse. Her fingers lightly brushed over a thick bandage. She let out a weak sigh as everything started flashing through her head. Her vision began to blur when the hospital door opened.
"Oh, you're finally awake Akagi-san…" Natsume-san said as he walked closer. "You've been out for quite a while. Almost a whole month."
Her eyes widened. "What?!"
Sayaka cringed as the same sharp pain soared through her body again.
"Please try to stay calm Akagi-san." Natsume-san quickly put a gentle hand on her shoulder. "You don't want to rip your stitches."
Sayaka nodded as she started to relax again.
"Where Yamaguchi, is she okay? And my classmates?" Sayaka's voice cracked at the end from being so dry. Natsume-san adjusted the bed, so she won't lay flat. He handed her a cup of water with a straw.
"Drink that slowly…" He said while checking her monitor. "Yamaguchi-sensei and your classmates are all just fine." He smiled at her.
"Thank you, Natsume-san." Sayaka gave him the now empty cup and smiled weakly.
He nodded. "Now I'm going to give you something for any pain that you are feeling right now. And it will make you drowsy. Please don't fight it and try to get some rest. While you're out, I'm going to call your grandmother and tell her you're awake. How does that sound?"
"Sounds wonderful." Sayaka smiled. "I don't want her to worry."
He attached a syringe into Sayaka's I.V. Within seconds, she was feeling it's effect. Her eyelids began to close. Instead of fighting, she let herself slip into a nice relaxed sleep.
Sayaka awoke to the feeling of someone rubbing their thumb over her knuckle. She shifted before opening her eyes. She smiled looking into the eyes of the boy she loves. It was Reita.
"Hey…" Reita smiled.
"Hey…" Sayaka smiled back.
Reita kissed her right hand before pressing it to his cheek closing his eyes. Sayaka took this time to really look at him. She lifted her left hand and began to run her fingers through it. He opened his eyes, grabbed her hand out of his hair and held it gently.
"Sayaka…" He fell silent before speaking again. "I thought I lost you…" Tears began to form in his eyes. "I thought…you were gone."
"Please don't cry, Reita…" Sayaka took her hands out of his and wiped away his tears. "It's okay. I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. Okay?"
Reita nodded. "Good…" He murmured before quickly shooting forward and pushing his lips onto Sayaka's lips, the smooth skin feeling too nice against his own lips.
Sayaka made a shocked noise, eyes wide open before they slowly closed and she applied pressure to the kiss, parting her lips. Yamato sighed happily, tongue quickly flicking out over the other pair of lips, right hand coming to rest on the other side of the hospitalized girl. Reita climbed up onto the bed and hovered over her, letting their tongues entangle together.
A few minutes later, Reita pulled away and sat back on the edge of the hospital bed, panting slightly, not being able the help the small smile that twitched at his lips.
"You're not dead…" Sayaka pointed out, eyes flickering over Reita's face despite them being a bit glazed over.
"No, I'm not…"
"What…" Sayaka sighed, searching for the right words to use. "What does this mean?"
Reita stared for a moment at the unnaturally serious look on his girlfriend's face and shook his head.
"I'm not sure, but…" Reita ran his hands through his hair before wiping them on his pants.
"I want to find out…" Sayaka finished for him quickly, ignoring the red blush that rose to his cheeks.
"I guess I can agree on that." Reita smiled.
With that said, Sayaka slowly shifted so there was space on the bed for another person. She patted the space.
"I don't want to hurt you further…" Reita shook his head. "Or…"
"Reita." Sayaka cut him off. "Please. I just want to feel your arms around me."
He nodded before sliding into the space. Sayaka laid her head on Reita's chest as he wrapped his arms around her being careful with her I.V. Soon his breathing became even, and his muscles started to relax. Sayaka smiled as she fell asleep again, but this time was better because she was in the arms of the man that she loved.
And so Sayaka, Reita and his gang come to finally accept Yankumi as their teacher and things go smoothly…
