A/N:

Alright, I think I better start giving hints about the other pairings. grins

Chapter 3

"We really don't need an assistant teacher for Literature plus-" the principal began.

"Wait. Let me show you something, and then you can decide," she said.

He looked at her and nodded.

She led him to Shigure's classroom and opened the door. The principal frowned when he saw the entire class was empty.

"Here's why you should hire me. 1. I'm qualified, I'm an editor. 2. You can pay me whatever amount you find suitable. 3. I'll make sure the children attend class and actually learn something."

"Well…"

.

On the intercom, "Sohma Shigure-sensei to the principal's office please. Sohma Shigure-sensei to the principal's office."

"Oh-oh…looks like someone's in trouble," Ayame sang.

"I'm paged because I did such a good job that the principal has to praise me personally and give me a raise," Shigure said.

"No fair. I did a better job. Why don't I get a raise?" Ayame asked, "Tori-san, I did a better job, right?"

"He's not getting a raise," Hatori stated in a listless voice.

"Gure-kun, how can you lie to me?"

"Why do you always believe Ha-san over me?" Shigure sobbed running out the door and then moments later stuck his head back in, "I'll be right back after I get my raise."

After Shigure left Ayame asked, "Do you think Shigure's in trouble?"

Before Hatori could reply, Haru ran in and looked at them, then said, "Should've known you'll be here. We're very busy, come on lets go!"

Haru dragged Ayame off.

"See you later Tori-saaaaaaaan."

"…"

.

"Momiji where's Haru and Ayame?" Yuki asked.

"Ayame left and then Haru turned into B-Haru and left as well."

"B-Haru? He's turning into B-Haru a lot lately. What was it this time?"

Momiji was thoughtful, "Um…no reason I don't think."

"He's changing for no reason now? And every time he does, he go seeks out Ayame. Those two are up to something."

"A petition for unisex washrooms," Momiji said.

"Unisex washrooms?"

.

Hiro looked at Megumi, "Why is he coming with us?"

"His sister's Hana-neechan," Kisa said, "and he wants me to introduce him to Haru-kun."

"Why do you want to befriend the Sohma's?" Hiro asked suspiciously.

"I only want to know who Hatsuharu is," Megumi said.

"Why only him?"

"Because I heard a lot about him."

.

Ritsu looked gloomily at the flowers. He's been receiving flowers and phone calls from both males and females to ask him out. The phone was ringing again.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" Shigure asked.

"…"

"I'll answer it for you," Shigure said and picked up the phone, "moshi-moshi?"

"Really? How sweet of you…would I like to go out with you? Of course…" Shigure cooed, "hai! Sunday…sure…ja."

Ritsu stared at him in disbelief.

"I've just been asked out by a teenage girl," Shigure said grinning and began singing, "Teenage girls…teenage girls. 1, 2, 3, teenage girls…"

"…"

.

Kyou frowned and went into the cafeteria.

"Here Kyou-kun!" Tohru said waving her arms.

Uotani, Hanajima, Kagura, and Yuki were already there.

"You're late," Uotani said, "why are you always late?"

"Is it my fault that the old hag held me after class to lecture me? Women are so annoying."

"Baka," Yuki muttered, as Uotani stood up.

"Who are you calling annoying?!" she demanded.

"Women."

Uotani attacked. He jumped back.

'Why are all women annoying and violent? First Kagura and now Uotani. Well…not ever girl…' he thought looked at Tohru who looked worried.

.

Shigure knocked on the principal's door.

"Come in."

He opened the door, "You wanted to see me? Is it about a raise?"

"No. Actually I'd like you to meet your new assistant."

"Mit-chan?"

She grinned and waved, "Hi sensei. Guess we'll be seeing each other everyday now."

He was thoughtful and grinned, "So we will, Mit-chan, so we will…"

.

"Haru-kun."

"Kisa? Later," he said without turning around and continued to focus his attention on the guy he was holding and slapped the piece of paper in the guy's face, "sign this petition before I get really mad."

The boy stuttered and signed it.

"Get out of here," he said and turned to Kisa, "what is it?"

"This is Megumi-kun and he wants to speak to you."

Haru looked at the kid, "Who are you? I don't know you and I'm not interested in little boys. So make it snappy. I got more signatures to get."

"You're not how I thought you'd be," he said listlessly.

"Gees, I'm so sorry to disappoint you," he said sarcastically.

Ayame came out, "I got the design for the new washroom all drawn out. Oh, Hiro-kun, Kisa-chan you're here."

"Lets go," B-Haru said.

"You've disappointed me greatly Sohma Hatsuharu," Megumi said.

"Whatever," B-Haru said walking away grabbing onto Ayame.

"Megumi-kun don't mind him. He acts weird sometimes," Kisa said, "he's really a very nice person."

"Really? I'll remember him, Hatsuharu."

.

"Ooooooh, it's lunch time. Tori-kun goes on his break! I got to go eat lunch with him! I'll hand in our proposal. Ja ne!!" Ayame said running off.

B-Haru clutched his fist and smashed it against the wall, 'Kuso!'

B-Haru changed back to Haru who grabbed his hand, 'Ouch. What happened? Why does my hand hurt so much?'

"There you are Haru!" Momiji cried, "I was looking for you. Lets go eat lunch. I think the others are already there."

Haru nodded looking as his hand.

"Oi, what's wrong with your hand? It's all swollen! We got to go see Hatori!!"

.

Hanajima was the first to ask, "Haru what happened to your hand?"

"Are you learning to boxing?" Tohru asked.

"No. I hurt my hand, Momiji saw and overreacted. Thus doing this," Haru said apathetically holding out his left hand which highly resembled Doraemon's hands.

Momiji smiled sheepishly.

"You sure you're ok?" Hanajima asked.

"Tohru-neesan!" Kisa cried.

"Megumi?" Uotani said.

"Hiro-kun, Kisa-chan, you two know guys know Megumi-kun too?" Tohru asked.

"Of course. He's our friend," Kisa said.

"He's not my friend," Hiro corrected her.

Megumi stared at Haru.

.

"What did you pull me here for?" Hatori asked.

"To hand in Haru and mine proposal."

"Proposal for what?"

Ayame grinned, "Stall-less unisex washrooms with urinals."

Hatori looked at him, "You think the board will approve of such a thing?"

Ayame crackled, "They got no choice. We got 90% of the student's signature plus 101 reasons for it."

"Doesn't matter," he stated.

They got to the office and saw Mit-chan following Shigure out of the principal's office.

"You heard the news that fast and came to congratulate me?" Shigure asked.

"Congratulate you for making the principal want to talk to your guardian?" Hatori asked.

.

Mit-chan was pretty sure that this guy was kidding but the way he said it…

"Ha-san, how can you say such a thing? As the matter of fact, the principal understands what a tough job I got and decided to hire an assistant for me. Let me introduce to you my new assistant. This is Hatori and Ayame, my bestest best friends, and this is Mit-chan, my new assistant, also my editor. You guys seen each other, ne?"

"Why do you get an assistant?!? Maybe I should get Mine-chan to come here and help me out. I'll be right back after I summit this proposal. Oh, nice to meet you Mit-chan, Gure-kun mentions you a lot," Ayame began and five minutes later the conversation has became, "…and then when I got home I found out the shoelace was dirty, so I went back to get an exchange and they refused!! How dare they scam me! The shoelace is the essence of the shoe, like cinnamon is the essence of cocoa. You know what else is good? Chocolate parfait, though it looks like mud. Mud baths are-"

"Aren't you suppose to hand in your proposal?"

"Oh, right. Thanks Tori-san. Be right back," he said running off.

Mit-chan let out a sigh of relief.

"Nice to meet you Mit-chan. I wish you the best of luck," Hatori said.

.

"So what's good to eat?" Momiji asked trying to steal a french fry from Kagura's dish.

"Oneesan are you eating beef again?"

Hanajima nodded, "Yes. I developed a particular liking for beef."

"It's an obsession," Megumi stated, "you want to devour every edible cow product in sight."

"What about you?" Hanajima asked.

"What about him?" Uotani asked.

"He's becoming quite resentful to lambs."

.

Momiji frowned, 'I'm sure I forgot something…but what?'

He reached for one of Kyou's fish sticks and got a whack on his hand, "Don't touch my food!! Well…you can have the salad that comes as a side dish if you want."

Haru turned and walked away.

"Where are you going?" Momiji asked

"To buy lunch," he said.

"Wait for me!"

.

"Lets go," Shigure said.

"Ritsu are you going to come along?" Hatori asked.

"No thanks. I'm waiting for Momiji," he said.

"Alright. Suit yourself," Shigure said, "I'm starving."

.

The principal sighed and read the pile of paper:

Sohma Ayame and Sohma Hatsuharu's proposal for stall-less washrooms (please refer to diagram 1.0 for a full floor plan). But before anything because read the reason as to why a this is advantageous.

101 Reasons why we should have stall-less washrooms:

1. The first (and probably most obvious reason) it is a public washroom and the fact that we have private stalls destroys that whole concept.

2. Now if a woman says Not tonight my period is here we can confirm if that's a legitimate claim.

3. Lessens the possibly of unflushed toilets. If one realize that the person five toilets away can see you rush out without flushing the toilet, you are less likely to do it. (Unflushed toilets are so icky).

4. Promotes more self confidence in people and better speaking skills, especially those that have nightmares about talking naked in front of the whole school.

5. Less likely for people to flush their lunch and tampons down the toilet (refer to reason 3) and getting it plugging up.

6. No more vandalism on the stall walls.

7. Cheaper, less use of metal.

8. Cheaper, less money erasing vandalism.

9. Cheaper, less money painting stalls.

10. Less likely to encounter the problem with no toilet paper, especially if there just happens to be no one in the stall beside you. This way you can ask the person three stalls away.

11. …

(Absurdity continues for 101 reasons, and gets more disturbing).
