DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN DETECTIVE SCHOOL Q. Do not use the OC for your fics without permission. And a thing such as DDS Online DOES NOT EXIST. Don't try e-mailing them. If you try, you're partially insane. But yeah, you can add Hayami's YM (underscore before the word kawaii, and no spaces. This is fiction, what do you expect? And don't use the idea without permission. And yeah, if there's ever such a thing, let me know. I hope the blushing isn't too much for you. (God damn me.)
A/N:Get Backers makes an appearance in this chapter. XD LOL.
I want to thank all the reviewers, especially … Ja ne:D
Chapter 3: The New Student
The DDS Class Q and A were given a two-week vacation for solving a dangerous case about serial murders in which all of them managed to finish the case alive. After such a vacation, they go back to school… but today won't be the same as any other day…
In Class Q, Kyu, Kinta and Kazuma were still like themselves before they left—unlike Meg and Ryu. After that break-up, they, especially Meg, were greatly affected. The two didn't even talk to each other, and the other three didn't really seem to care (although Kyu actually does, but his relationship with Meg is a secret, right?). The bell rang, and Kinta was back to his 'Hongou-sensei again' mood.
Surprisingly though, Ms. Katigiri entered the room- not Mr. Hongou.
"Class Q, I have an announcement to make. Please report to Principal Dan's office immediately."
"Yes, Katigiri-sensei!" Class Q replied with determination.
After a few minutes, they reached his office. As they went in, they realized they were with Class A. (The same reactions from the same people, readers. The usual people who bicker, that's what.).
And then Principal Dan came in.
"Good morning, Class Q and Class A."
"Ohayou gozaimasu, Morihiko-sensei." replied all the students.
"Mr. Dan, why are we all here?" Kyu eagerly asked.
"Probably a change of classes. Hehehe!" was the nasty remark of Saburoumaru (as always).
"No, students. I'm here to introduce to you a new student from Kyoto."
"Kyoto, sir?", Ryu clarified.
"Oh God… I hope it's her…"
"Yes, Amakusa-san. She will temporarily belong to Class A but depending on her ability, she might be transferred to Class Q.", Principal Dan continued.
"Please enter now, Yamamoto-san.", Ms. Katigiri asked the girl waiting outside the door.
She entered, and…
"Hayami-chan?" Ryu suddenly blurted out. "What on earth are you doing here, in Tokyo? In DDS, to be exact?"
(Hayami): "Shut up Ryu! Damn it, it's now obvious that we know each other. Drat, they ought to put me in the other class then, idiot…"
(Kinta)"God, she's damn pretty! How come Ryu gets everything… including sexy girls?"
(Kazuma) "She's that girl last Friday! Why is she here? Oh my, I know what Kinta's thinking now… darn…"
"Ryu-kun? I'm studying here for a while. That's good… right?"
"Yeah, I'd probably say so." and he smiles, causing Hayami to partially blush.
"Umm… Ryu-chan?" asks Kyu, butting in. "Do you know each other? And why does she blush?"
"Oh Kyu. We just met each other last Friday, but we've been communicating with each other since the night after I broke up with Meg."
"Oh. Interesting." (NOTE: Kyu and Ryu are still in speaking terms.)
"Okay kids. You should be going to your classes now. I'll call Class Q if ever Hayami will be transferred." Dan-sensei said as a closing remark.
"Yes, sir." was Class Q's reply.
Everyone proceeded to their respective classes… except for Hayami and Ryu who were able to talk, in the midst of everything.
"Ryu-kun? Let's meet by the tree outside the Class Q building after class, okay?" Hayami asks.
"Sure." Ryu replies. "I'll see you then. And yes, I should tell you: some of the Class A students are not that easy to get acquainted with. Got that? Take care."
Then they went to their respective buildings, both with a smile on their face.
Ryu, in class, was as usual, quiet. But yeah, he was doing good. And excitement was visible in his eyes. He didn't really seem to mind Mr. Hongou, because it somewhat seemed like all he was seeing was Hayami.
Hayami was doing really good in class, thanks to her really good analytical skills. She also seemed to be in speaking terms with Yukihira. When their teacher, Mr. Nanami, wasn't looking at them, Hayami asked Yuki (they're seatmates),
"Yuki-san? Is Saburoumaru really that weird?"
"That's not even the worst of it." Yuki sarcastically replied.
"Damn, Ryu was right! I can tell, I wouldn't want to know Saburoumaru! Some crazy and insane person… how on earth did he ever get accepted into DDS?"
"And Yuki, who's that other girl over there?"
"Oh, her? Kuniko-san. We don't really talk to her. She's somewhat… anti-social. At least this new girl is social. She's way more confident than Kuniko too… and has more appeal…"
"Oh…"
And there, class ended. Ryu was waiting by the tree for about 10 minutes already, and Hayami still wasn't there. So he decided to go to the Class A Building to look for her.
What he didn't know, was Hayami was being chased by some guy from some other class who was more insane than Saburoumaru.
"Help! I'm being chased!" Hayami shrieks, exhausted, running as fast as she could.
"Damn slut! I love you my butt!"
Then, she remembers,
"God, my shoes have wheels! Why don't I just activate them? Damn, so stupid of me! I wouldn't have gotten this exhausted!"
So she kicks the wall once for each of her feet, and…
There, she was at top speed! Trying to avoid bumping anything was a piece of cake, until she reached the end of the corridor… where Ryu was waiting. She bumps him and she falls to the floor, on her butt.
"Oh Ryu! Gomen ne! Save me from the terror! Some damn slut's chasing me!" Hayami shrieked.
"Don't worry." Ryu replies, a bit distressed. "I'll get him!"
He takes something from his bag, and puts it in his pocket.
"I LOVE YOU beautiful lady!" the insane guy shouts, running straight for Hayami.
Then suddenly, Ryu takes his collar, and…
"Ryosuke-san? You…"
… he takes the thing from his pocket, and places it by his neck, all in 3 seconds. Ryosuke is terrified.
"Gomen, Ryu-san!" Ryosuke reacts, terrified. "Forgive me!", and runs away.
Hayami smiles, and asks,
"Don't you think that was a little bit… too… brutal?"
"Don't worry, Hayami-chan. It's only a—"
"Spoon? Wow, Ryu-kun, that was freaky!"
"Want me to treat you somewhere?"
"Sure. I'm damn exhausted."
So there… they went to some vending machine and Ryu got 2 cans of softdrinks- one for him, one for Hayami. Then they went back to the tree- the original meeting place. Unfortunately for them, they weren't alone. Kyu and Megumi were eating cake by that tree. Ryu then tells Hayami,
"Let's go somewhere else."
Hayami just nodded her head.
After a few minutes of silence, Hayami asked Ryu something, out of pure curiosity:
"Ryu-kun, why didn't we just stay there?"
"It's because… my the girl I recently broke up with is Kyu's current girlfriend now. I'm trying to avoid her for a while. She might hit me or something."
"Oh. I've never had a relationship before. My dad wouldn't allow it."
Ryu just nodded his head and asks her if they should stay by the nearby bench. Hayami agrees.
"Hayami?"
"Yes?"
"I want to know… is Yamamoto Hayami your real name?"
"Iya."
"It isn't? What was it then?"
"Takahashi Natsumiko. You won't find Yamamoto Hayami in old records, but I legally changed my name to Hayami. So don't call me the old one."
"Okay… what's your nickname then?"
"I dunno, really… Haya is possible, but it's only you I'll allow to call me such."
"What about your parents?"
"Both dead."
"So are mine."
"Oh… sad life, isn't it?"
"Not sad, but isolated. I never had friends prior to my acceptance to DDS."
"Really? Why do you have lots of friends now?"
"A lot? You're kidding me. I'm sure most of the guys in this school hate me. But the girls? Some of them somewhat disgust me…"
"And Ryu-kun? Where do you live?"
"The apartment near DDS, number 33."
"Oh… I'm living in that same line of apartment, number 40. Interesting."
"Yeah, lucky. And yeah, does it have a computer? If it does, good. And yeah, I think you're getting your DDS Online ID soon."
"I have my laptop and there's LAN in the place… right? Can't you make one—that DDS Online thing?"
"No… it has a format. Mine's If I had one, it would be… you could be transferred to Class Q, remember?"
"Yeah… Saburoumaru sucks! Damn idiot…"
"Oh… let's go to the apartment together. I need to do something."
"Call me on my cellphone when you're done with it. Do you even know my cellphone number? I'll treat you to Honky Tonk."
"Okay, sure! You gave me your cellphone number, so don't worry. See you later!"
After several minutes, Hayami's phone rang.
"Moshi moshi Haya!"
It was Ryu.
"I'm done. Let's meet outside your apartment."
"Sure, Ryu-kun. See you there!"
She put down the phone.
"My! I can't believe I'm treating him out! Our lives have so many coincidences… Are we really compatible? NO! NO! NO! I'm not supposed to think such…"
Then she finally came to her senses.
"Damn!" she shrieked. "I should be running! He's probably waiting."
At the same time, Ryu was thinking of the same thought. He, too, scurried, and it ended up that they reached the front of the apartment at the same time.
"I thought you—" Ryu said.
"I thought you—" Hayami said simultaneously.
"My, she's trying to say the same thing!"
"We were about to say the same thing simultaneously!"
They stared at each other, and blushed—at the same time. (such coincidences…)
Ryu was able to recover from his blush first, and remarked,
"Haya? We should get going. You seem hungry.'
"Oh." Hayami replied, finally recovering from her blush. "Yeah, I'm damn hungry."
They walked to Honky Tonk. After being welcomed by Paul Wan and finding seeds, a girl named Natsumi approached them, asking for their order.
"I would like to order three hamburgers and a glass of soda—" Hayami dictated.
"—and I would like a whole cheese pizza and a glass of iced coffee." Ryu dictated, butting in.
"Okay… Please wait for about… twenty to thirty minutes." Natsumi remarked, a bit shocked.
After Natsumi left…
"Hey!" Hayami complained. "Why would you order a WHOLE pizza?"
"Whatever." Ryu shot back teasingly. "You're paying for it, anyway! And why would a girl order THREE hamburgers?"
"Like you care! Treat me next time! And yeah, three hamburgers isn't as stomach filling as a whole pizza!"
Ryu started to snigger.
Upon seeing Ryu's reaction, she totally felt like laughing…
And they both bursted, laughing like maniacs.
"Hey!" Paul shouted. "Are you guys insane or something?"
"Gomen ne!" Ryu replied.
"He looked really funny, that's why." Hayami added.
"Whatever." replied Paul.
After he got busy on something else, Ryu asked Hayami,
"Haya-chan? Did my face really look that funny?"
She replied, "No… but the way you snigger is so kawaii. It really makes me laugh." starting to snigger again.
After some time of silence, Hayami was starting to complain a bit.
"Hey Ryu-kun. I'm getting impatient. Wanna play 'Dai Hin Min'?"
"Sure. I accept your challenge. Whoever loses, treats the winner next time!"
"Sure, Ryu. Yay! Now I can make a good reason for him to treat me!"
Then they played. After some time, the game ended and Hayami won. (Ryu has to treat Hayami then.)
"Damn, I lost. What luck!."
Then the order came.
"Here's your order! Three hamburgers, a pizza, a glass of soda and a glass of iced coffee.", Natsumi read, somewhat exhausted.
"Arigato. How much is it in total?" Hayami asks.
"850 yen in total."
"Oh. Here's the payment." getting some money from her wallet and giving it to Natsumi.
"Arigato. Thank you for coming to Honky Tonk. Enjoy your meal and we look forward to seeing you again soon." Natsumi said respectfully.
"Itadakimasu!" they both said at the same time.
They both smiled… and ate their meal… as if it was the only thing they would eat for weeks. (I can tell, they really were hungry.)
After some time, they consumed everything they ordered—with ease.
Then Ryu escorted Hayami out of the restaurant, like a true gentleman. (aww… that's exaggerated!)
They passed by two guys sitting on the whit car in front of Honky Tonk. (Ban and Ginji, to be exact.)
"Hey Ban, did you just see that girl who just passed by?" Ginji asks Ban.
"Yeah Ginji…" replied Ban, stunned. "She's very beautiful…"
Ginji bonks Ban.
"What was that for, Ginji-chan? Ginji, you bastard! Ruining my romantic mood… " asked Ban, somewhat surprised and disappointed.
"You were staring at her. What do you expect? And she has a guy already…"
"Whatever. Can we please go in now, Ginji? I'm starved! Damn!"
"Sure Ban-chan… so am I…"
On the other side of the street, Hayami seemed to notice the two.
"Ryu-kun?", Hayami asks. "Would guys have a reason to talk about me?"
"Definitely, Haya-chan.", Ryu replies. "Lots of guys would think you're cute."
Hayami looks at her watch. She seemed a bit freaked out, and suddenly exclaims,
"Dang! I gotta get back! Let's run, Ryu! I'm going to be very busy…"
After some time of running like desperate people, they finally reached the apartments. Hayami frantically ran up to her room.
Ryu was left with a thought, which he had to type.
The day was really fun and exciting. It felt really good that I can see her almost everyday. She treated me to Honky Tonk, and because I lost to her in some damn card game called Dai Hin Min, I have to treat her… I'm short on money
right now, which is bad. Something about how my day ended was strange, at around 8 in the evening, Haya-chan suddenly freaked out and had to go back to the apartment. It's really weird. It was so drastic. I wish I could discover it myself. And free myself of unwanted questions about a girl named Yamamoto Hayami, originally known as Takahashi Natsumiko… :D
Ryu
Everything else that happened after that was irrelevant to their relationship.
Everything, until next week came…
In Class Q, the usual lesson was going on until Ms. Katigiri entered the room.
"Class Q, please report to Principal Dan's office immediately."
"Yes, Ms. Katigiri!"
"Class dismissed!" announced Mr. Hongou.
After a few minutes…
"Principal Dan! We're here!" Kyu exclaims.
"Okay, Class Q." Principal Dan said with a relaxed feeling. "I would like to introduce 2 transferees from Class A: Sakurako Yukihira and Kishimoto Hayami."
Ryu's face showed an expression of mixed happiness and agitation…
The other Class Q guys seemed pleased too…
Kyu and Kinta: "Beautiful girls in Class Q…"
Kazuma: "They're damn beautiful…"
Only Megumi was somewhat displeased with the acceptance of the two girls.
"Oh… I might lose Kyu all because of Yuki-san… I know that he somewhat likes her… And I don't like the fact that I'm in the same class with Ryu's new girl… I can tell from their actions… Oh, damn luck…"
Starting the next day, they had their usual classes. It was somewhat obvious, though, that Ryu and Hayami had a special attraction to each other. When Mr. Hongou didn't seem to care, they would always look at each other. They just couldn't avoid each other's eyes.
"His blue eyes really want to tell something deep… Such an enigma…"
"Her emerald eyes tell that there is something she admires about me that she wished could happen to her…"
After several hours of part-listening, part-staring, they just went home, busy with a lot of homework. Even with all the homework, they still got to YM each other, usually asking for help and occasionally, some intimate dialogues.
They got used to it, because that's how they'll live their lives five times a week… as students of the most known detective school in Japan—Dan Detective School…
End of chapter-----------------------------------------------
How was that? The usual R&R, please.
A bit of reference:
:If you're curious, Dai Hin Min is a card game. Fruits Basket.
Fast facts on the OC, Yamamoto Hayami:

Well, that's all you really need to know right now. I got school, and I'm only allowed to use the computer weekends. Gaah. Might take some time before Chap 4. It's real hard to think of things you're too young for… no wonder this takes so long. More shocking facts in the next chapters. Probably. Ja ne:D
