Return; A New Student

"Emotions...the biggest weakness of all." The mysterious man says as he walks to the classroom door.
'Time to play, Jeanne.' He thinks.

The door opens and Packalemao sensei appears. Taking the stranger inside, she introduces him. His name is also Chiaki. Chiaki Hiroki. (A.N.: I'll be using his last name, though. It would be really hard to understand if I used Chiaki.)
"Hey, Chiaki! He has the same name as yours." Maron and Miyako shout out at the same time.
"Hmphh. He's probably not as good as me though." Chiaki says under his breath.
"You can sit in front of Maron. Raise your hand, Maron." Packalemao sensei states.
"Hai. Right here." Maron raises her hand.
"Arigatou." Hiroki says as he sits down.
"Alright. Today..." Packalemao sensei's voice fades away.
Maron catches Chiaki looking at her.
"What is it, Chiaki?" She whispers to him.
"Nothing." He whispers back.
"Ok." She turns her gaze back up front.
"We should go out again." He whispers, making her blush.
"What are you talking about?!" Maron screams, standing up abruptly, disturbing the rest of the class.
"Kusakabe? What's wrong?" Packalemao sensei asks, her hands on her hips.
"Eh? N-nothing! Gomen!" She sits back down.
"Can I get back to teaching now?"
Maron nods.
Hiroki turns around, grinning at Maron.
'Why is everyone staring at me today? First Chiaki, now Hiroki!' Maron starts getting frightened.
"Hiroki? Turn around and pay attention." Packalemao sensei says as she picks up a longer piece of chalk, as the one she was using broke.
"Now, back to what I was saying..." Her voice fades out again.
"What do you say?" Chiaki whispers to her again.
"Will you stop it with that?!" Maron yells.
"Again, Kusakabe? Out!" Packalemao sensei blows her whistle. (A.N.: I call that a whistle, the thing she blows on whenever people disturb her.)
"Hai." Maron sighs as she closes the door behind her.

After School:
"Why wouldn't you stop bugging me during class today?" Maron asks, pouting.
"Because I meant it. We should go out again." Chiaki grins.
"We're still here you know!" Miyako and Iinchou shout out. Hiroki is chuckling at the excitement.
"And what are you laughing about?" Miyako cries out into Hiroki's face.
Hiroki backs away, obviously getting frightened by Miyako.
"Miyako...calm down. He's new so let's show him around!" Maron says happily, forgetting all about Chiaki's question.
"What do you know? That sort of rhymes." Chiaki comments.
"Geez. The slimmest things can entertain him." Maron shakes her head.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Let's go!" Miyako starts running.
"Eh? Miyako! Matte!" Iinchou runs after Miyako, shouting her name and telling her to slow down.
"Come on Hiroki!" Maron cries out, grabbing his hand, running after Miyako and Iinchou.
"Mou! Why am I always last?" Chiaki exclaims as he, too, takes off, laughing.
After showing Hiroko around, they arrive at Maron's apartment. To their surprise, Hiroki is also going to live there. He has an room next to Maron's.
"You live here too?" Miyako asks, amazed.
Hiroki nods.
"Great." Chiaki says sarcastically, making a face. "Just what we need, another person." He says under his breath.
"What did you say, Chiaki?" Maron questions, seeing him.
"N-nothing!"
"Well, I gotta go. See you guys tomorrow!" Iinchou runs off.
Maron walks over to her mail box and opens it. There's a note from Chiaki. She smiles.
"Maron! Hurry up!" Everyone shouts as they get on the elevator.
"Hai!" She rushes into the elevator, squeezing inside.
"Baka Maron." Miyako comments as she sees Maron struggle.
"Hey! I heard that, Miyako."
Everyone gets off the elevator and into their rooms, saying good-bye.
'Chiaki...what did you write this time?' Maron wonders as she takes off her shoes.
Suddenly, there are knocks on her balcony door.
She wonders what they are. It's Chiaki.
'Chiaki...I guess, I've forgiven him about not telling me that's he's Sindad...I wonder.'
Maron walks to her balcony door and opens it.
"Chiaki. Now what do you want?"
"Did you read my note yet?"
"No. Didn't get a chance."
"Then read it now. I have lots of time." He leans onto the balcony railing, looking at her.
"Ok." She reads the note.

Will you please go out with me? I'm sorry I lied to you. I won't lie to you anymore, I promise.
P.S. Au grautin!

'Lie?! He never told me he was Sindbad, and now he's telling me about lies?! What an idiot!
Maron looks up, right into Chiaki's eyes.
"So what do you say?" He asks.
"Are you kidding! No way!" Maron goes back inside, closing the door slowly behind her.
'Chiaki...should I trust you this time? I was starting to until...' She remembers the time that she found out Sindbad was Chiaki.
*****
"Jeanne! Aren't you a bit late today?" Sindbad asks, his mouth covering his hand.
"I'll get it next time! By the way-"
"Huh?"
"Why are you covering your mouth?" Jeanne knocks him off balance as he falls to the ground. For support, both hands touch the ground, leaving his mouth uncovered.
"Ch-chiaki? You're Sindbad?" She backs away.
*****
'You're by enemy when I'm Jeanne....'
Fin appears and sits on her shoulder. Maron doesn't notice.
'Demo...I love you when I'm Maron...'
Fin starts smiling because Maron still doesn't notice a bit of extra weight on her shoulder.
'Doshio?' She starts pacing around.
"Boo." Fin says.
Maron yells.
"Scared you!" Fin laughs.
"FIN!!!" Maron pretends to choke Fin, laughing as well.
"Can you let me go now?" Fin asks. "It's starting to hurt."
"Ok."
"Maron!" Chiaki bangs on her door.
"Chiaki! What do you want now?" Maron screams at him.
"I heard you yell. Anything wrong?"
"Nope. Nothing at all."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Ok. If you say so." Chiaki leaves and enters his room.

In Hiroki's Room:
Hearing all the commotion, Hiroki goes to his balcony, trying to reach Maron.
"Maron? Did something happen?"
"Huh? Oh...hi Hiroki."
"Hi. Did something happen just now?" He asks staring into her eyes.
Maron turns away. "Umm...nothing happened. Something just broke. I'm ok."
"Ok. See you tomorrow, ne?"
"Ok. Bye." Maron closes the door.

Hiroki laughs silently as he closes his balcony door. A blue colored angel appears.
"What'd she say, Takura?" The blue angel asks. His name is Kaibu.
"Not much. Just a broken thing."
"I'm sure that's it." Kaibu laughs.
"The game shall start soon enough, Kaibu. Just wait a few more days."
"Alright!"

Author's Note:
Ooh! Who's this new guy? By the way, Takura is Hiroki's secret identity. He's sorta like Sindbad, just more evil, if you consider that the Devil depends on him. Kaibu is Hiroki's cute sidekick.
