*****

The greenhouse door closed shut automatically. As he walked around the greenhouse to meet his twin sister, his emerald eyes were still locked on to the student who was running to the farthest point of the greenhouse. It was as if he couldn't pry his eyes off the seraphim student that just sat down on one of the chairs, a pang of longing nagging at his heart and mind.

He didn't even notice his sister come up behind him and scare him.

"NYAH!!" Sumeragi Hokuto screamed in her brother's ear, surprising every nerve in the math teacher's body. Her twin brother, Sumeragi Subaru, turned around swiftly, narrowing his green eyes in annoyance.

"Hokuto…" he started, still looking at his smiling twin. Hokuto brushed off Subaru's glare and smiled cheerfully.

"Look at you!" Hokuto remarked, waving a finger as she and Subaru started to walk away from the greenhouses – albeit Subaru was doing it reluctantly.

"What?"

Hokuto grinned the Chesire Cat's smirk. "You're SMITTEN!" she teased, feeling threads of joy being weaved inside her veins. "Just like when you first saw Sei-chan!!!!!!"

"Stop it, Hokuto." Subaru shrugged the comment off, wishing that the subject would be anything else than Kamui or Seishirou. He kept his eyes on where they were heading, searching the sea of cars in the carpark for his remarkable white BMW.

"Oh c'mon now Subaru!" Hokuto said, bouncing up and down in excitement. "You're like a lovesick puppy! Only worse than when you first saw Sei-chan that is…but…still!"

"Look," Subaru stopped, bringing Hokuto with him. He looked at her with a stern face, although all this talk about his feelings and Kamui made his heart beat faster. "I don't snoop around about your love life with my co-teacher, so it would be best that you leave my love life alone."

Hokuto frowned, staring after her brother that just started to walk to his car. "Aww, Subaru! You're no fun at all! You won't let me play matchmaker! Kamui-chan wouldn't like that!!"

"HOKUTO!"

A beautiful, raven-haired teenager made his way through the crowd of students, searching the mass of people for a certain, yellow cap wearing Sorata and an unusually straight haired Arashi

"Am I late?" Shirou Kamui's voice got Arisugawa Sorata's attention, making Sorata look at him.

"Not really…Aoki-sensei just started." Sorata explained.

Arashi looked up at Kamui. "Sit down before Aoki-sensei sees you."

Kamui did what he was told, sitting beside Sorata as he opened his notebook and drew out his pen. For a few minutes the lecture was doing great – their homeroom teacher was telling them about how earthworms affect the fertilization of the soil. Kamui's concentration on making notes, apparently about earthworms, was suddenly interrupted by a poke on the arm. Realizing that it was Sorata who had just poked him, he turned to him, raising his eyebrows in inquiry.

"What?"

"How come Sumeragi-sensei came with you?" Sorata asked out of curiosity, jabbing his pen into his notebook as he waited for Kamui's reply.

"Oh. We bumped into each other at the entrance and he offered to accompany me here." Kamui whispered, making more notes on earthworms. "Why?"

"Oh nothing…" Sorata said, controlling himself from snorting in suspicion of something. "Nothing at –

"Arisugawa-san, is anything wrong?" Aoki Seiichirou's voice snapped them out of their conversation.

"Aoki-sensei! Nothing's wrong!" Sorata suddenly stood up in embarrassment, readjusting his cap as the rest of 2-A and 2-B stared at him. Arashi only smacked him upside his head and made him sit down, motioning for their teacher to continue his lecture.

35 minutes later

"I'll let you go off early today before the bell rings." Seiichirou remarked, fixing up his things as his students did the same. "Please stay in one line as you go back to your classroom. Unfortunately I could not accompany you back, so I'm putting Segawa-san in charge. Segawa-san?" Seiichirou said, turning his head to the 2-A class president, Segawa Keiichi. Keiichi was a nice person, albeit TOO nice and cheerful. Anyway, so that I will not make this story a tad TOO complicated, Segawa likes EVERYONE.

"Hai?"

"Please make it sure that your class and 2-B gets back to their classrooms quietly."

"Hai."

In order, as Seiichirou suddenly disappeared, the two classes left the said greenhouse and continued on to the CLAMP Gakuen High School Building Department. Kamui, Sorata and Arashi was also about to do so until…

"KAMUI-CHAAAAANNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Startled, Shirou Kamui turned around, but as he did, he started to regret that he did so. For a bouncing, blonde-haired, creepily cheerful girl suddenly ran up to him and locked him in a deadly embrace. Sorata and Arashi could only watch on as their friend, known and loved by all as Monou Kotori, continued to topple Kamui over.

"Oh Kamui-chan, I'm so glad that you're here! Onii-chan's been so gloomy without you back at your old school and…and…oh Kamui-chan!" Kotori only hugged the struggling teen tighter. Kamui gagged and gasped for air, as he and Kotori lay strangled on the floor.

"Who are you?" Kamui managed to choke out as Kotori finally let go of his body. Kotori stood up, offered a hand to Kamui, which he suspiciously accepted to stand up.

"Kamui-chan, don't you remember me? It's me – Monou Kotori!"

Kamui's adorable purple eyes widened. Monou…?

In panic, Kamui immediately stood up and pointed a finger at the blonde. "D-don't come near me! You're related to FUUMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Like a bullet, the ebony-haired boy ran off, panic still running through his veins.

**********

One and a half months have passed, and I can say things are going pretty well for our little Kamui. Nataku still hated him, Satsuki still made notes about him; Kotori still chased him around, Fuuma still stalked him, Seishirou was beginning to hate him, and Sorata and Arashi began defending him against his own Personal Stalker ™. 

  Also, Subaru was beginning to fall for him, which of course, Fuuma and Seishirou definitely detest.

And now, the time to get their report cards approached the whole CLAMP Gakuen High School department.

***

As the class looked up expectantly at their advisor and co-advisor, tension and pressure suddenly swam around the thick and heavy atmosphere. A few minutes later their cards would be handed to them, grades written on the pieces of paper, dreading to be read by their parents.

Aoki Seiichirou's voice broke the inanimate silence that stood between them and their class.

"Well then, the class will be divided in two. Class numbers 1-24 will approach me for their report cards while class numbers 25-48 will approach your co-ad, Sumeragi-san. Please keep quiet and wait for your turn to accept your cards." Seiichirou looked at Subaru for a signal to start. As Subaru nodded, Seiichirou took it as a gesture to let the card giving begin.

"Let's start."

*

Since the first half of the class usually has last names that start from A – L and the second half usually consist of students who have last names that begin with the letters M – Z, Kamui was alone this time. Arashi and Sorata belonged to the first half, while he belonged in the second. And also, Satsuki and Nataku both belonged in the second half, making shivers run down his spine.

Time quickly passed for Kamui as he sat on his chair, fiddling with his fingers. Sorata was the one next, for he heard Aoki-sensei ask for him. He prayed silently to God that he didn't fail a subject, that Karen would be proud of him, that he wouldn't have to do anything stupid to raise his grades.

He could feel the blood rushing to his ears as he heard Subaru call out the next student.

"Saiki Daisuke."

Time was sure passing by quickly.

"Segawa Keiichi."

Kamui closed his eyes shut, knowing that the next name to be called was his. He looked at his feet as he heard his classmates' whispers and murmurs around him about their grades. Meanwhile, other uncalled students were doing the exact same thing he was doing – praying for salvation.

"Shirou Kamui."

Plucking up all his courage, he stood up and approached Subaru's table, which was positioned on a far corner of the classroom, exactly the opposite of Aoki-sensei's table. He sighed as he sat on a chair placed near the table.

"I'm really impressed about your grades, Shirou-san."

The sentence knocked him far out of his trance. Impressed? Grades?

SUBARU WAS IMPRESSED WITH HIS GRADES?!?!

Kamui shot his head up to face the angelic math teacher.

"Na-nani?"

"I said I'm impressed about your grades." Sumeragi Subaru repeated, smiling as Kamui heaved out a relieved sigh. "You've achieved a very high average even though you just transferred here this trimester."

Kamui looked at him, a joyful expression sketched in his wonderful amethyst eyes. "Honto ni?"

"Aa." Subaru confirmed. "Although…"

Kamui immediately looked flabbergasted with the addition.

"Your History seems to be…quite not like you." Subaru managed to speak out, observing Kamui's reaction. It was true – Kamui has high marks for every subject except for History. He didn't fail – it just looked out of the league when compared with his other scores.

For Kamui…

He was absolutely ready to melt in his seat. History? That was the subject he had to work on? He could just imagine it now – Fuuma's special project for him would be to sleep with him and instantly his grades would bolt up. But he didn't want to sleep with Fuuma – you can clearly see his disgust for the idea for his eyes were widened in shock and lips parted in surprise.

"Shirou-san?"

"Eh…hai?" Kamui replied, now looking back at Subaru.

"Here." Subaru simply said, smiling. He took Kamui's hand and placed the report card in it. "Give this to your guardian to be signed. Meanwhile, Monou-san has requested for you to go to the Faculty room right after you get your report card."

Kamui only nodded, fear filling his blood as he stood up, bowed out of respect, and walked away. Subaru sighed, resting his head on his hands, murmuring 'I hope he doesn't do anything to you' before turning to the next student.

Author's notes: A bit longer but hey – at least it's in the chapter. And I know it's like impossible for them to have their names alphabetically arranged since I think it's not applicable. Anyway, I think I kinda based the card-giving thingies from my school. I hope you understand. Also, I have a few recommendations for Fuuma/Kamui fans or people who want to get a kick out of something (including myself).

P.S: It could be that this Thursday April 3, 2003 might be the day that we leave for our vacation. I'm going to ask if it is true. If it is, I guess I have to put this on temporary hiatus for a month. But I promise – this will be continued! Thanks!
