Konichiwa!
Yes, people, I'm back!
Thank you so much for all your reviews! You made me happy and helped me in this fic. You guys rock!
To all of those who haven't read the revised version of chapter 2, I've decided to change Sakura and Sasuke with OCs. Like what I said, the character portrayed by Sakura may not suit her persona. Rhine Ishikawa replaced her while Takeshi Kirizawa replaced Sasuke.
Note: Italics- thoughts
Bold- words that are emphasized.
Disclaimer: I don't own the great GTO. I can't even make a very nice fic!
WARNING: Some OOC-ness of characters.
Chapter 3When angles turn on the right direction
"T-tomoko...?"An eerie silence embraced the whole restaurant. Droplets of water could be heard from the un-tightly closed faucet. Even the cook didn't bother taking the burning rice out of the stove due to the gravity of the situation. All eyes were focused on a certain girl.
Suddenly Kanzaki let out a giggle that turned into a psychotic laugh.
And of course, the gang followed suit- except maybe for Onizuka, who was still in his 'pose'; Fuyutsuki-sensei, who was utterly surprised by Onizuka's decision; and of course Kikuchi, who.. well.. didn't have any reasons to laugh at all.
"Sensei! Hahaha! You should be called GCO! !- ONIZUKA! MWUAHAHAHA!" Murai had rolled of his seat from laughing to hard. Laughter echoed three times more.
Tomoko stared around her companions. She is Kikuchi's girlfriend? Now that's new...
"Do.you.mean.to.say.that.this.girl.is.Yoshi-chan's.girlfriend?" Rhine asked carefully. With a calculating look, she surveyed Tomoko from head to foot. Tomoko shivered a bit.
Rhine narrowed her eyes even more. Flipping her hair back, she spoke in her icy tone, "I refuse to believe this nonsense. True, this girl is cute but definitely not Yoshi-chan's type."
"Um... Onizuka-sensei," Fuyutsuki-sensei inquired carefully, "are you really sure of what you said?"
Onizuka cracked open an eye. "What is with all of you people? Kikuchi and-" He suddenly fell silent after noticing that he was still pointing Tomoko. "...are perfect together...but- did I just point Tomoko?" He looked at his left, the people nodded; at his right, the people nodded; and finally at Kikuchi whose eyebrow twitched dangerously.
He repeated the same action for about three times.
"WHAT THE HECK! STOP IT, WILL YA!" Rhine snapped impatiently, all traces of her angelic features vanished into thin air.
Everyone looked at her, quite scared at her I'm-gonna-kill-someone-any-moment-now look.
'I'm going to strangle Onizuka right now... I'm going to strangle Onizuka right now...' Kikuchi kept repeating in his mind. It should be taken into consideration that Kikuchi was not always like this- I mean, he seldom have nervous breakdown. But because of the gravity of the situation, not to mention that he can't do anything with it even with his I.Q. of 180, he can't handle the stress. Poor guy.
Onizuka kept looking around the restaurant. It seems that he himself didn't believe his action. "Did I really point Tomoko..?" he asked for the nth time.
And, of course, the people nodded in response.
Onizuka's jaw fell. 'What the HECK! Why did I point Tomoko. She wasn't supposed to be the one!!!'
"Psst, Onizuka-sensei, why did you propose to have Tomoko pose as Kikuchi's ahem girlfriend anyway," Fuyutsuki-sensei whispered to Onizuka. The latter just looked back at her with an innocent- well, we could call that innocent- look. Suddenly, the 'innocent look' vanished into thin air, just to be replaced by a mischievous grin.
Fuyutsuki-sensei gulped, she perfectly knew what that expression meant.
And she can only pray that to whomever it was addressed to would be able to see the sun again.
"I really can't believe this! YOU PEOPLE ARE A BUNCH OF NERDS! WEIRDOS!" Rhine shrieked, banging her fist on the wooden table. Her rough breathing suggests that her patience would not last long. Takeshi sighed and shook his head. He knew Rhine very well... especially how she hates people who prefer indirect reasoning.
The expression was clear. Onizuka was up to something and Kikuchi didn't like the air around. The computer genius surveyed his teacher, but, unluckily, he didn't get any more clues to what a certain blonde was planning...
Onizuka's smirk widened. Rhine narrowed her eyes at this sudden change of behavior. Pulling herself back all together, she calmly sat back down.
Kanzaki could have also noticed Onizuka's change of behavior for the smirk on her face faltered a little. 'It seems Onizuka is up to something that would help Kikuchi in this situation. Too bad. I would really love to piss Kikuchi off with all my aces, right now..' Sighing, she let her eyes rest on his.
"Hey, sensei, you quiet? What's the matter?" Murai asked playfully. Seeing the teacher's expression, he raised an eyebrow.
Okay, so, basically, we all know now that Onizuka is planning something.
An anticipating air hung around the restaurant. Whether it's due to the gravity of the situation or over reacted-ness of the audience, we'll never know. All eyes managed to land themselves on a certain teacher who started to smoke his second cigarette butt.
Noticing that he managed to attract all attention due to his change of behavior, Onizuka silently congratulated himself.
"Well, I only have one thing to say," he started, his voice completely professional-like, "that my arm made the wrong move. You see, my arm was directed to the wrong direction- thus making the wrong angle..." Some people raised their eyebrows.
"Could you please get to the point?" Rhine asked in a dangerous tone. It seems she her patience was starting to collapse.
Onizuka kept cool. "I was planning to, if you haven't interrupted, that is." Rhine clenched her fist. "Anyway, to make it short, Nakamura Tomoko isn't Kikuchi Yoshito's girlfriend at all." Gasps where heard.
Kikuchi's eyes widened. 'What.the.heck.I.don't.like.the.sound.of.this.'
"Then... who is it...?" Fuyutsuki-sensei asked, quite interested on how Onizuka could stir up a plan within a few minutes- well, whether the plan was foolproof or not, she doesn't have any idea.
Onizuka silently enjoyed the thrill that hung from the air. He was planning to make his pause longer if only he didn't feel Rhine's boiling anger that radiated off the girl.
"She is..." He raised his arm and pointed at a certain girl with blonde hair and a pair of striking ocean blue and chocolate brown eyes.
Kanzaki Urumi.

Kikuchi could have fainted.
He could have fainted out of shock, embarrassment, fear, headache, stomachache (since he hasn't touch his food for the past hour), and other kinds of feelings that bombarded his brain the moment he followed the direction Onizuka was pointing.
'It can't be Kanzaki...
It can't be that witch...
No... please! Not that prankster...
Onizuka is joking!
I'm just dreaming...
Yeah, this is just a nightmare...'
Even with all these things running in his head, he still managed to keep his cool and emotion bottled up. He was, of course, a little bit pale but nothing more than that. He wasn't screaming on top of his lungs on how miserable his life turned out within a few minutes is or something of that sort.
Kanzaki was also quiet shocked of Onizuka. She? Girlfriend of Kikuchi... now that's a good joke. She caught Onizuka's eyes and both stared at each other, as if they were communicating by telepathy.
'What's the meaning of this, sensei?' Kanzaki tried to ask just by looking.
Onizuka, quite understanding Kanzaki's reaction, grinned, as if saying 'just ride in and everything would be fine.'
Kanzaki smiled back innocently. She hated to admit it but Onizuka's plans have amused her way back junior high. 'Maybe supporting Onizuka's plan would kill some time, okay, I'll join it,' Kanzaki thought to herself.
"What.is.the.meaning.of.this?" Rhine tried to get every word out of her mouth, her face grimace. Takeshi just sighed. He knew that all weapons of mass destruction are to be launched within a few minutes... or even seconds.
"Well, basically, this girl here," Onizuka pulled Kanzaki's arm, "is Kikuchi's girlfriend. Her name's Kanzaki Urumi."
Kanzaki smiled shyly at Rhine, then she turned to Onizuka. She grimaced. "Sensei, you promised that you'll keep it a secret!" she said, barely above a whisper but was audible enough to everyone since total silence was achieved. Murai and the others jaw-dropped.
"You... mean.. Kanzaki and Kikuchi... official...?" Yoshikawa asked disbelievingly.
"Cool! Since when?" Murai slapped Kikuchi hard on the back. "Dude! You never told us!"
Kanzaki sighed resignedly and pulled Kikuchi towards her. "You, see... we were planning to tell you today... only someone interrupted," her 'innocent' gaze fell on a homicidal Rhine.
"THIS IS SO INSANE! A WHILE AGO, EVERYTHING WAS FINE! THEN NEXT, YOU SAID THAT THIS TOMOKO GIRL IS THE GIRLFRIEND OF YOSHI-CHAN! NOW, YOU ARE TELLING ME THIS KANZAKI WITCH IS HIS REAL GIRLFRIEND! YOU'RE DRIVING ME IN-" Rhine could have blabbered more if only Takeshi didn't take some actions. He walked over to Rhine while she was shrieking, then covered her mouth with his handkerchief.
"Rhine, please calm down. You are going to destroy everyone's eardrum if you continue." He turned to Kikuchi and the others, "I'm sorry for all this trouble we have brought you," he stated in a gentleman way. Rhine gave up on trying to break free. She just glared at the boy.
"Anyway, it's getting late. We should be getting home now," Takeshi continued as he pulled Rhine to her feet.
Rhine's eyes widened. "NO! We can't go home now! I want decent ANSWERS and these TWO would have to answer me RIGHT NOW!" she stated firmly.
Takeshi looked at Rhine, eyebrow raised. "No. I said no, Rhine. Your parents will be very worried. No. You can't fool me with puppy eyes or anything of that sort," he said with finality in his tone. Rhine looked horrified.
"But- Takeshi! You can't!" she tried to argue but gave another thought about it when Takeshi glared at her, a stern look on his face.
"We are going home. Kikuchi-kun, we are sorry for all these troubles. I hope you the best, bye." he bowed and pulled Rhine with him.
"No! Takeshi! I need ANSWERS! I cannot allow Yoshi-chan to be with a low class lady!" Rhine started to argue again but failed miserably. Face determined, she glared at Kanzaki before exiting the restaurant. "You are going to pay for this, Kanzaki Urumi. I'm going to make your life a living hell that you'd wish you were never born..."

So, what do you think? Please Review!!!
Next chapter will be more on the thoughts of Kikuchi and Kanzaki.
I don't know when I could update again. You see, I really need to concentrate in my studies if I want to pass second year high school. I'm quite certain that I will get a very low grade in Physics this quarter so I need to work harder. Sigh. Physics is fun yet hard.
Ja ne!
