Chapter 6A boy and a girl
s
Kanzaki.
A simple kiss.
These were the words the echoed through Kikuchi's mind as he stared into empty space, also known as the 'corridor, walking as slow as he can.
It was one of those moments when he was rendered speechless, his brain processing fell down sharply and his mind screamed for explanations.
He nearly crashed through a poor student who carried a stack of books. He felt like tripping a number of times.
Definitely, it was dangerous.
But, like what was said, he really wasn't in the mood to think logically.
A few moments ago, Kanzaki kissed him. It wasn't exactly a kiss... physically speaking, it was just a moment of contact between the skin of their lips that didn't even last for two seconds...
Two seconds... that was quite fast but at that moment, time stopped.
He could feel like puking. His thoughts were being contaminated by sloppy, mushy ones... definitely, something's wrong with him today.
But deep in his mind, he knew that he enjoyed that contact.
Admit it, Kikuchi, you're falling head-over-heels with your greatest rival
s
The sight that greeted her would have been placed in the Guinness Book of Records:
The longest time a crowd held their breath.
Maybe it was exaggeration but that's just how she saw it. The crowd was silent, nothing could be heard. It was just like a scary movie when the main character had her senses rocketed up high, anticipating for the appearance of the monster.
She flashed the jaw-dropped crowd an innocent smile. She advised Kikuchi to leave a few moments ago to avoid a bloody combat... even though she knew that to avoid such sight, she should have been the one who left.
But Kanzaki liked thrill. And definitely, she wasn't backing out on this one.
"I'm really sorry for that... umm... public display of affection. That's the only proof I could think off, you know," she silently congratulated herself for the stunt she pulled. Poor Onizuka, you hadn't witnessed one of most daring stunts Kanzaki Urumi has pulled in her life.
Sayuri shut her jaw and opened it again. "Um.. ah.." Pulling herself back together, she spoke in the most professional manner she could, "Well, girls, I hope that satisfied our doubts." Turning back, she flashed a small smile and walked timidly towards the opposite direction.
Kanzaki watched the girl as she walked, her shoulders tensed. She shook her head. Poor girl, nursing a broken heart sure is painful. She sighed thoughtfully. This game sure is interesting.
Turning back to the still stunned crowd, she smiled again and walked casually to her classroom.

It was a miracle how Kikuchi managed to arrive in the classroom unscratched. He sat down then turned his gaze towards the tree outside.
What was Kanzaki thinking! Argh! I made a fool of myself! ARgh! Kikuchi, snapped out of it! You must act like it is NORMAL since you and Kanzaki are a couple! He practically screamed at himself for his lack of better judgment.
"Yo-shi-to!"
Kikuchi closed his eyes. Speaking of the devil..
Kanzaki stood in front of his desk, an innocent smile made her look like a little girl. "Whatcha doin'?"
Kikuchi didn't open his eyes. He knew he would just make matters worst. Then again, could it be any worse? "Isn't obvious."
Kanzaki giggled innocently. "You're acting too girly!"
With that remark, Kikuchi snapped his eyes opened and glared at the lady. Kanzaki continued to giggle, an action that sent chills through his spine. When Kanzaki giggles, it means trouble.
She leveled her head with his, her blonde locks falling graciously from her shoulders. "Why, mister oh-so-great-computer genius, did that little kiss derailed your thoughts?" she spoke innocently.
His eye twitched dangerously, an action he could do to hide a faint blush that threatened to graze his pale cheeks. "Shut up," he growled.
Kanzaki grinned. "You're blushing."
His eye continued to twitch.
"Class! Please take your seats! It's time for homeroom!"
Kikuchi must be loved by the one above for he was again saved by the bell. His luck seemed to overflow.
Kanzaki gave him one of her trademark innocent smiles then took her seat beside him, her pen (that seemed to appear magically out of nowhere) twirling skillfully between her fingers.
Kakashi-sensei had the same cheerfulness like yesterday. Studying the class with his keen eyes, he smiled. "We have new students!" he stated cheerfully. He nodded towards the door that was left open. "Please come in."
Kikuchi felt his eyes widened while Kanzaki smirked amusingly.
Two students entered, a boy and a girl, whom Kikuchi and Kanzaki knew very well.
"Hello! My name is Ishikawa Rhine! Pleased to meet you all!" the girl greeted cheerfully. She flashed a sweet smile.
"I'm Kirizawa Takeshi," the boy stated deadpanned.
"They really are members of this class only they arrived late. You see, they are from the United Stated of America," Kakashi-sensei beamed at the two.
Kikuchi sighed resignedly. Just when he thought lady luck was on his side, these two appeared. This was just too crazy! In less than 24 hours, his life had turned in a 180-degree angle.
He saw Rhine winking at him. Oh gawsh, this was just too much to handle! He took a reassuring breath.
Calm down, Kikuchi, think logically. What will these two bring to you? isn't your life too hell enough? Do you think they could do more damage?
"It seems we are going to pretend for a whole year, darling," Kanzaki whispered amusingly.
It was then that Kikuchi realized the full blow of the arrival of the two.
"Sensei," Rhine piped up. "Could I sit beside Yoshi-chan?" she asked while pointing in the said guy.
Kakashi-sensei raised an eyebrow. "Eh? You already know someone from this class?"
Rhine smiled sweetly while Takeshi shook his head. "Yoshi-chan is actually my..." she glanced at Kikuchi, "childhood friend."
Kakashi nodded. "Of course."
Rhine bowed and practically skipped towards Kikuchi and Kanzaki.
Kikuchi was sitting in the chair beside the window. On his right was Kanzaki's desk. The nearest desk was beside Kanzaki, a seat away from Kikuchi.
Rhine narrowed her eyes at Kanzaki but the latter looked at her innocently. Kanzaki spoke, "You wouldn't actually ask me to vacate this seat, won't you?"
Rhine smiled. "Not really. I actually prefer this seat." She plopped down on the seat next to Kanzaki. Takeshi followed suite, sitting beside Rhine.
Kanzaki cocked her head to the side and smiled. "Welcome to our school."
Rhine followed her movements. "Gladly."
s
Time passed slowly for Kikuchi, each ticking of the clock seemed eternity.
He glanced again on the book in front of him. He sighed. Even it was Geometry, he couldn't concentrate.
The class was silent for the teacher left them approximately ten minutes ago. Before she left, she asked them to read chapter 11 of their book for when she comes back, she'll give a test.
It was actually absurd that they were asked to read chapter 11... it was only the second day of school!
The lesson was definitely easy. It was just an introduction to circles. He then scanned the other pages.
"A tangent to a circle is a line which intersects the circle in one and only one point. This point is called the point of tangency... blah, blah," he muttered under his breath. He was positive he heard that line for over three times now.
Glancing at his side, he saw Kanzaki twirling her pen, the book closed. Well, that's normal. Rhine had her book open but her gaze was fixed on Kanzaki. He diverted his attention back to the book.
"My, my, my, are we that of a genius," Rhine remarked in a low voice that Kikuchi had to strain his ears to hear. He watched Kanzaki from the corner of his eye.
Kanzaki glanced at Rhine, a puzzled look on her face. "Are you talking to me, little girl?"
Rhine's eye twitched. "I am NOT a little girl, madam."
Kanzaki chuckled silently. "Oh, forgive me."
Kikuchi was sure that Kanzaki was just intimidating Rhine he sighed. Typical.
Rhine clenched her fist then smiled. "I heard what transpired this morning," she remarked casually.
Kanzaki cocked her head to the side. "Ooh! That was quite embarrassing but well, that's the only way to satisfy the doubts those fan girls have." A sly smile appeared on her lips. "I'm quite curious to who their correspondent was..."
Rhine's shoulder tensed. "Why?"
Kikuchi was sure he saw Kanzaki winked at him. "Because what she did is a no-no."
Rhine didn't have the chance to counter back for the door opened to reveal their Geometry teacher, a pale middle-aged woman whose black hair fell softly on her shoulder. Her beetle black eyes flashed calculatedly.
"Have you finished what I asked you to do?" she asked. The students nodded. She stood in front of the table and pulled her students' list.
"Ms. Takenouchi, what is Cavalieri's Principle?" She asked adjusting her gold spectacles.
Kikuchi furrowed his eyebrows. The Cavalieri's principle definitely isn't under the topic of Circles.
The red-haired student blinked quizzically. "But ma'am-"
"Ms. Ishikawa, please help this lady," she turned her attention to Rhine who stood up and raised an eyebrow.
"But ma'am, chapter 11 did not mention the Cavalieri's principle!" Rhine countered. The teacher just looked at her.
"I know that."
Rhine blinked. "B-but."
"Miss Ishikawa, I just want you to answer my question," she stated firmly. Rhine's cheeks went red.
"B-but."
At the same time, Takeshi's, Kanzaki's and Kikuchi's hands shot up in the air. Rhine felt insulted even more.
Their teacher nodded towards Kanzaki. Kanzaki promptly stood up and spoke, "The Cavalieri's Principle states that given two solids and a plane, suppose that every plane parallel to the given plane, intersecting one of the two solids, also intersecting the other, and gives cross sections with the same area, then, two solids have the same volume."
Their teacher clapped her hands slowly. "That was very clever of you, miss Kanzaki." The lunch bell rang. "Class dismissed." She made her way out of the classroom.
Rhine shook with embarrassment. Kanzaki patted her back. "Don't worry, everybody experiences this kind of feeling."
The latter glared at her. "You don't understand!" With that, she ran out of the classroom and Kanzaki noticed there were tears in her eyes.
She sighed. "She's the second person I hurt this day... I'm such an evil person." Kikuchi walked up to her then sympathetically patted her head.
"Please forgive Rhine for her behavior," Takeshi suddenly spoke. "She's really a nice girl but when she gets insulted..." he shook his head then walked out of the classroom. Kikuchi and Kanzaki could only think he followed her.
"Hey," Kanzaki suddenly directed her gaze to Kikuchi. "Do you think Kirizawa (Takeshi) has some feelings for Rhine?"
But she never heard his answer for his gaze was directed at the window. Kanzaki followed.
There, clutching on the window frame was a panting figure, his damped blonde locks and blue pained eyes came into view.
"Onizuka!"
