Nanao : Oni-chaaaaan… We're starving!! Aren't the tofu done yet??

Rukawa : Uh.. *staring blankly at the cookbook, all pans and flours were messed up in the kitchen* Just wait a sec, Nanao-chan…

Keisuke : *jumps into the kitchen and was shocked to see the mess* Oni- chan! What happened?!

Rukawa : Oh… Oh! I forgot where the cooking utensils are!! Now go back to the others, Keisuke… *sweatdrops*

Keisuke : Okieee.. Just be sure you make it fast… We're so hungryyy…

Rukawa : Be patient, Keisuke… *sweatdrops* (to himself) I haven't made anything yet!!!!!!

And then the next thing he saw is the slim figure of Chizu walked into the mess. Her face was blank, and she doesn't look shocked nor surprised about the bizzare in the kitchen. Looking at her, Rukawa blushed and looked down. He started to clean the mess, bit by bit.

Chizu : What's the matter, Ni-san? Did you forget how to make agedashi tofu?

Rukawa hesitated first to answer. He didn't know what to say, for he'll make a fool out of himself. Chizu knelt down and started picking up the egg shells spread around the room. She pulled a towel from a closet and wiped the liquid on the floor. Rukawa stared at her face, her beautiful and peaceful face.

Chizu : What? (rudely) Is there something on my face?

Rukawa : Ah.. No… Gomen…

She didn't answer, instead she stood up and threw the rubbish into the trash can and soaked the towel with cold water.

Chizu : *not looking at him* What's wrong with you today, Ni-san?

Rukawa tried to smile and answer politely.

Rukawa : Well… At first I hurt my arms, so I can't move it well… So it dropped everywhere…

Chizu : *snorts* Huh… Once you got your bone cracked and you still cook dinner for us…

Rukawa : (softly) Did I? Oh… Well… It hurts so much right now… It's cut deep (lying)

Chizu : *turns to look at the wound* Oh… I see… Now can you manage to make that tofu dish? You'll disappoint the kids…

Rukawa : Honestly speaking, I cant…

Chizu wiped her hands on a dry towel and open the drawer to find an apron. She pulled out a peach tinted apron and tied it around her neck. She tied another knot circling around her slim waist.

Rukawa : Chizu… What are you doing??

Chizu : What do you think? I'm making them dinner, since Ka-san's not going to be home tonight… And since you can't cook because of that bad arm.

Rukawa : *smiled gently* Arigato, Chizu… I'll help you a bit…

Next day at Shohoku high, students started to rush into the building. Everybody was in their classes and was busy chatting. Students across the hall were laughing happily and they're fresh, ready for a new day to study. But on the 2nd year floor, everybody almost choked to death.

A student : Oh my god, did you see him?

Another student : Yeah! Oh my god I can't believe my eyes!!!

And throughout the hall, there were girls that fainted on the floor with fever. Sakuragi who was just on his way towards the class, bursted out of laughter and rolled around on the floor, followed by the Sakuragi Gundan.

Sakuragi : Oh my god, Kitsune!!! What happened to your hair *laugh laugh*?!?!

Yohei : Rukawa-kun!!!!!!! *laughs, rolling on the floor*

Sendoh ran his hands on his head and smiled. He then forced his way into the classroom and everybody in the class stared at him, they drop dead silent.

Sakuragi : Kitsune must be out of his mind!!!!! *still laughing*

There were whispers in the class among the students. Some were giggling and some were still standing stiffly, shocked.

Tsukimiya : Oi Rukawa!! What happened with your hair?!

Sakuragi : Did you fell in love with that Smiley or anything?!!

(a.n : note that Sendoh actually made Rukawa's hair standing and spiked up, like his…)

Sendoh : You got problems with that? I just thought that this hairstyle helps me to get more winds running through my head, and make it a little more cooler. *smile*

Fangirls : Rukawa-kun… He smiled… *faints*

Then soon a teacher, old and grumpy, rushed into the class with a briefcase locked within his arms. His jaws dropped on the floor when he saw Rukawa.

Fujiwara : Rukawa Kaede! That hair… that hair… *shaking* That hair had just broke Newton's gravitational law!!! *gasped*

Sendoh : Oh did I?

Fujiwara : That hair… That hair… Is evil!!! You must get rid of it soon, Kaede, or else I'll have to put force on you!!

Sendoh : Why can't I?

And then Rukawa, as Sendoh Akira stepped in the class and found himself dumbfounded and terrified, horrified, petrified, etc…

Rukawa : OH MY GOD!

Fujiwara : *turns to Rukawa* Oh, you must be our new student, Kawaii Mayu. Please come in and introduce yourself. (voice changed from harsh and reckless, to soft and polite)

Rukawa : My name's what?! *covers mouth* Oops… Okay, um.. Sensei…

Fujiwara : Okay students, class will start now… *eyes turned sharp Sendoh* And you, Kaede, you must get rid of that ridiculous hair as soon as possible. Or else I'll drop you out of school!

Rukawa : *gulp* (to himself) Dammit! That idiot had just ruin my reputation!

Fujiwara : And just what did you put in that hair to make it stand up straight like that, super glue?!

Sendoh : Hai hai, Sensei… I'll go to the washroom now… *emerged out of the classroom, and winked at Rukawa*

Rukawa : *anger risen to top of his head and he was ready to burst out* (to himself) That aho!

Fujiwara : *turns to Rukawa* Well now, Mayu-san… I'll let you introduce yourself to the class.

Rukawa : *gulp* Oh well… my name is… K-ka… Kawa… *babbles and mutters and made some unclear sounds* Mayu! I came from… uh… Sapporo… I live in… uh… my house, and I got… 2 brothers and 2 sisters, and I live with my… mom, since my dad passed away… *picked up a chalk and write his new name in katakana*

Girls in class : Kawaiiiii! Oh he's so cuteeeee, just like his name! At last we got a handsome male student other than Rukawa!! *starts to faint*

Rukawa : *sighed* (to himself) Is this what girls expected all these times?

Fujiwara : Okay now Mayu-san… You may sit… um… *browses around the class for an empty seat* There! *points a finger at a vacant desk* Beside your new friend, Sakuragi Hanamichi

Rukawa : (in his head) Oh my god, not that Do'aho…

Fujiwara : Sakuragi Hanamichi, I'll ask a favor from you today. I want you to show Mayu-san the school around and be nice to him.

Rukawa : (still in his head) Dammit! This is where the nightmare starts… *moans in his head*



a.n : okay… So the name's Kawaii Mayu… hahaha… Sendoh is crazy, he registered Rukawa in that name for his entry at Shohoku high… And he's driving his temper off, and is ready to explode any moments from now. Please continue, don't forget to RnR… onto next chapter
