Disclaimer/Author's Note : I don't own Midori No Hibi.For those who may not know what Midori No Hibi is,It's a romantic comedy about Seiji Sawamura,a delinquent who's extremely good at fighting,his fist has been dubbed the "Devil's Right Hand".What he really wants is a girlfriend.Trouble is,they're too scared of him.
One day,for no particular reason,his right hand has been turned into a girl named Midori Kasugano,who claims that she's had a crush on him for some time now.
The first half of this chapter takes place prior to Seiji's visit to Midori's home in episode 2.Enjoy.
Things could have been better for Seiji Sawamura.
His life until a few days ago was filled with romantic disappointments and violent conflicts.He was getting used to the fact that his feared right hand,the infamous "Devil's Right Hand" was replaced by a tiny girl calling herself Midori Kasugano.Now he was nursing wounds recieved from a beating recieved by a gang of toughs from Hounan high who had his underclassman Osamu Miyahara hostage.
At school,things had hardly changed for Seiji.His desk was isolated from the rest of the class since the other students were rather afraid of him,in spite of the fact that he never picked on weaklings.They began to mutter among themselves :
"I wish he'd stop."
"He's so scary."
"He's not human."
"He's too dangerous."
"He's a monster of a thug."
"He won't let his injured hand stop him from picking fights with others."
Seiji for his part was oblivious to the mutterings of his classmates.He then noticed that Takako Ayase had placed her desk next to his.
"Don't get any funny ideas,Sawamura,"she said,sounding rather uptight,"I'm just putting my desk back where it should be,that's all."
Midori,the girl who essentially replaced Seiji's right hand,watched as Takako stared ahead.Then no sooner had Seiji ignored her than Midori noticed a warm,if slight,smile on Takako's face.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seiji,"Midori whispered to him,"I think that girl Ayase seems interested in you."
"Yeah right,"Seiji snorted derisively,"She can't stand me.You know that,Midori."
They both recalled the argument Seiji and Takako had just before the toughs from Hounan High had come to Sakuradamon High to cause trouble.
"Well,Midori,"Seiji said,"it's time to go to your home again."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days later,Takako was walking home from school when one of her friends,a girl named Kumiko Tanizaki,
came up to her.
"Can I help you with anything?"Takako asked.
"I'm concerned about you,Ayase.Did you really put your desk near Sawamura's?"
"I did."
"I don't think that's a good idea,"Kumiko said."You of all people know the guy's a walking time bomb.They don't call him 'Sawamura the Mad Dog' for nothing you know."
"What are you getting at?"
"I happen to know a girl who actually went to Sawamura's house wih a friend of hers.She told me that they were having a nice time when, without any warning,Sawamura just snapped.He went to the kitchen to get a knife,then he glared at the two of them as if he intended to murder them on the spot.I'm telling you,they were lucky to escape with their lives."
"Wait a minute,"Takako said,"are you sure about this?"
"That's she told me.The point is,you,of all people,should realize just how dangerous Sawamura is.I wouldn't be surprised if he actually murdered someone."
Kumiko then walked away,leaving Takako wondering if what she had heard was true.
