Thanks for the reviews everyone Here's chapter 2!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now.. Today we find out Chaperones. Every group will have 2. While that's more than enough people for most of you, we do have Tomo in this school. Personally, I think a nice straight jacket is a good chaperone for Tomo but the school wouldn't allow it. Some laws or something like that."
Yukari was pacing the front of the classroom, looking up every once in awhile to check out Tomo's reaction. It started out hyperactive, turned peeved, and now was at full rage. Yomi and Chiyo-chan looked at each other in understanding. A straight jacket wasn't that bad of an idea. This was one of the smartest things Yukari had said all year!
Yukari continued, "We tried to match up chaperones with students they got along with. This is a vacation for us teachers too! This is a rare time to slack off! Imagine having to watch Tomo during your break! Not fun at all!"
"What? You get into more trouble than all of us put together!" Tomo called, pointing an accusing finger of Yukari. "And you know it!"
Yukari cast Tomo a cruel stare before starting to talk again. "I have a list of everyone's chaperones to give to every group. You may talk while I pass them out." She picked up a sheet of papers and walked over to the first group of students.
"Who do you think we'll get?" a curious Chiyo-chan asked. "I wouldn't mind Miss Kurosawa."
Sakaki nodded. "Yeah. Kurosawa would be good to have."
"Yeah, Kurosawa really knows her stuff. Yukari wouldn't be too bad either though," Kagura added in. "She knows her English real good."
"Are you crazy?" cut in Tomo. "She wants to lock me up in some kind of coat! Besides, our little Chiyo here can translate for us."
Osaka nodded furiously. "Chiyo-chan is like a machine, she's so good at English. Say… maybe she is a machine! Like a robot or somethin." She cast a suspicious look at Chiyo-chan. "What are you made of?"
Chiyo-chan started looking nervous. When Osaka thought she knew something, there was no stopping her. "I'm made out of flesh and bone just like everyone else. I'm not a robot."
"Ah hah! Yes, yes, that would explain everything! No wonder you're so smart! You have computer-like intelligence," Tomo added. "That would explain your shortness too. Your makers probably ran out of metal. Just what are you parents anyways? Scientists? Droid makers? Mech drivers!"
Chiyo-chan shook her head rapidly. "No… no… My dad works for the government and my mom's a lawyer."
Tomo stared at Chiyo-chan. "We'll find out your secrets. Right when you're getting an upgrade, BANG! We'll be there. Right Osaka?"
Osaka nodded in agreement. "Yeah. BANG! BANG! BANG! We'll be there. We'll be there."
"Right… and Chiyo-chan has managed to pass through society like a normal human being this whole time without any knowing? Great thought Tomo," Yomi said, her voice dripping with obvious sarcasm.
"Haha! Tomo you dummy! That's one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard. Besides, Tomo is just too darn cute to be a cyborg." Kagura smiled. "Nothing un-human could be as cute as Chiyo."
Everyone in the group looked at Chiyo-chan, who had a sweat drop on the side of head, a sweat drop growing larger by the minute. Sakaki's cheeks began to turn red. Chiyo-chan was cute. Mumbles of 'yeah, you're right" "of course…" and other agreements were heard around the group. Chiyo-chan could do nothing but stare at the gang of people who were becoming hypnotized by her cuteness.
"Why are you guys all staring at Chiyo-chan? Did she do a trick or something?" Yukari had finally made her way over to Tomo, Osaka, Yomi, Kagura, Sakaki, and Chiyo-chan. As she finished her sentence someone mumbled "so cute…" and Yukari looked over at Chiyo. As she her gaze washed over the young girl she got hit by the cuteness.
"Sooooooooo cuuuuuutttttteeeeeee…." Yukari mumbled in a disembodied voice.
Chiyo-chan looked at Yukari, her mouth opening wide with shock. "Ummm…. Miss Yukari? Can we see our chaperones?"
Yukari snapped out of her trance and looked at the group's chaperone sheet. "Looks like you have Nyamo and… OH MY GOD!" Her face twisted with horror. "What! I can't believe… what the heck? This should be illegal!"
Yukari's snaps brought each of the girls out of their state. Each and every one of them had a look of confusion on their faces.
"What? Kurosawa is good with us! What's so bad?" Tomo attempted to snatch the paper out of Yukari's hand. Yukari put up no fight at all, shock overcoming her body. Everyone else crowded around the paper as Tomo scanned it hastily.
"OH MY GOD! We have Mr. Kimura as a chaperone!"
Every girl's face sank lower than they had ever sank before. Mr. Kimura? They'd much rather die than spend a week with him.
"NO! It can't be! There has to be some law about that!" yelled an angry Yomi. "Why isn't he with a guy's group?"
Chiyo-chan took the paper from Tomo's hand and grimaced as she read the note by his name. "Says there are no more guy's groups for him to chaperone."
Sakaki tried to avert her gaze away from the rest of the group. He was always worse for her. Her wandering eyes caught Kagura's who was also averting her gaze away from the group. Kagura's face burned even more red as she saw Sakaki looking at her. She gave half-nod to Sakaki and watched as Sakaki returned it. They both understood. They'd get the worst of Mr. Kimura.
At that moment Osaka chose to say something. "We should kill him!"
Everyone looked at Osaka, their minds working in overtime. Yomi spaced out with visions of various deaths of Mr. Kimura in her head. Tomo nodded hyperactively.
"Of course! Osaka, you're a genius!" she said as she gave Osaka a huge smile. Everyone sweat-dropped. Osaka? A genius? Tomo continued. "We could overpower him! One of him against 6 of us. Maybe even Yukari would help!"
At the sound of her name Yukari shook her head. "I'm going to have no part of this. Even though I think he needs killing, I just won't help. I have too much to risk. I could lose my job! And no job equals no money! How would I pay for stuff?"
"You don't pay for anything anyways!" the group all shouted at Yukari.
At that moment the classroom door slid open. Mr. Kimura walked in, tears on his face. The group immediately inched farther away from the door. Heck, all the girls in the class inched away from the door. Mr. Kimura slowly walked over to Ms. Yukari and gave her a piece of paper. Her eyes skimmed over the paper and a relieved look washed over your face.
"Oh, so you can't go? Well… err… that's too bad…" Yukari avoided his eyes as she attempted to not smile. Her mouth twitched as the corners lifted slightly.
"Yes, yes. I have a wedding to go to." Mr. Kimura wiped the tears from his eyes and looked over at Sakaki and Kagura. "Oh! What a cruel world this is!" He erupted into hysterical sobs as he walked out the door.
Every student sweat dropped at once. He made his feelings way too clear.
Tomo looked up out the ceiling and lifted her arms up to the sky. "Thank the heavens! I promise to donate 10,000 yen whenever I get that much."
Yomi snorted. "You never donate anything more than 1 yen! You spend it all on video games and candy!"
"Yeah, well, it's the thought that counts!" Tomo shouted, Yomi and sincere smile.
"Whatever! That's just what you say when you make a crappy gift because don't want to waste your money on a gift for us!" Yomi snapped back.
Tomo put on a horrified look. "Uh-oh! Yomi's lost it!"
Yomi screamed and stood up as she pulled back a fist.
"Hey wait! Yomi good friend! You wouldn't hurt me! We've been through everything together! We're like sisters!"
"Don't worry Tomo… I'll show you some sisterly love."
As Yomi chased Tomo around the classroom Osaka looked at Chiyo-chan with wide eyes. "Yomi would make a good murderer. She really commits herself. We should make her kill Mr. Kimura."
