Dark Nadeshiko- Now for my personal favorite, Jirou-kun! And Kabaji.

We now see what Kabaji Munehiro, Keigo's ever faithful henchman and supporter, wants to be when he grows up. He wouldn't always be Keigo's shadow, would he?

Keigo and company sat under the shade of a tall tree waiting for lunch to end; there was just nothing to do!

"Ne Kabaji?" Shishido poked him, "What do you wanna be when you're all grown up?"

"…"Has he even thought of that yet?

"A wrestler! You're defiantly stwong enough!" Gakuto cried, "Or a constwuction worker!" ...Kabaji in a yellow constrution hat and blue overalls...puhahahaha!

"…" Poor Kabaji, being subjected to his torture.

"You're good at mimicking people," Yuushi pushed up his chibi glasses, "Perhaps a mime?"

"…" No offense but all that white foundation and black make up gives me the creeps. Even more so if it's on Kabaji.

"How about a firewighter? Or a super hewo?" Jirou tied his jacket around his shoulders, "Super Kawaji! Dun dun dun!" Isn't he just precious?

"You're all wrong!" Keigo injected, "He's going to be my bodyguard that keeps away my screaming fans. Ne Kabaji?"

"Usu."

"And you'll get to wear a cool suit too! Maybe in purple, I like purple, matches my hair. Or white! It brings out my skin. Ne Kabaji?"

"Usu."

And so, whether Kabaji really wants to become Keigo's body guard or whether he's just used to answering to him shall remain a mystery until Kabaji tells us himself. Or, we could just wait several years and see for ourselves.

For our last second grader, Akutagawa Jirou. The ever friendly and adorable boy didn't have many major interests or hobbies, other than sleeping and the teddy he hugs while doing so.

Like so many others, the student teacher absolutely adored Jirou. "So kawaii-kun, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Umm…" Jirou hugged his bunny close, "I don't wanna gwow up. I wanna stay small and cute, dis way, I dun hafta do nothing." Oh he was cute alright, and he knew it too.

Yukiko, the student teacher, giggled, "I wish you'd stay this cute forever too, but we all have to grow up someday."

"Fine than, I wanna be a libwrarian! It's wery quiet there so a longer nap twime! Or a bubble blwower! All the pretty bubbles!" Jirou jumped up and down, "Or, or, or, I can be one of those guys dat wear awnimal costumes at birthday parties! D'an I get to play house with my swuffed awnimals and I can bwing my bunny wabbit too!"

Yukiko laughed, "Anything else?"

Jirou shook his head, "But I weally, weally, weally, don't wanna grow up! You get homework when you grow up! I wanna play with my frwiends and take naps!"

As we all know, growing up sure didn't stop Jirou from taking naps, but whatever happened to his little stuffed bunny?

Dark Nadeshiko- Next are the first graders, Otori and Wakashi. If I have time, I might add a scene with the teachers or their parents. R&R!
