(A/N I got the story from the episode one of Gokusen. Don't expect the moments to be that accurate. I did my best to write what they actually did in the series. Not really a Yukie chappy, more on Kumiko's career. But a pinch of Yukie is added. Enjoy!)
Chapter Four- Yankumi it is!
Yeah, it all started with an unexpected mishap. Moments aren't that believable. Shin was so damn in love with Yukie. Very, very unusual. That simple stroll in the park had led to a serious relationship. Yukie never open conversations about her boyfriend, even Yankumi don't know that they were dating or worst, they were a couple. Yukie felt guilty with. She knows that Yankumi will somehow approved, but she just didn't like telling it. Maybe…maybe the everyday smiles and the happiness in her heart and expressions are so obvious, so why bother to tell? It was already a month since they met, by accident. But Yukie still didn't know a lot of things about Shin. All she knows is that he is going in an all boys private school, his father was very rich and his living alone in his own apartment. That's all gotta do it…she guess.
Weeks and days passed by, and the good news arrived in the family. Yukie passed the entrance exam in Kinshiro Gakuin, what's great of all, is that she's the topnatcher, the best among the rest.
"Oh my god! This is unbelievable. I mean, is this really what happened? I didn't study that much…" said Yukie rubbing her head.
Suddenly, a girl with spectacles spoke up.
"Oh Yukie! Your truly my sister!" said Kumiko from nowhere.
"What the..? Why do you came up suddenly?" asked Yukie.
"We both achieved our goals!"
"Ahuh…yes. Oh, the start of school is next week. How am I supposed to prepare?"
"That's not a problem for smart student like you. You should focused to what's important, study hard, education is priceless. Flip the books of learning, cherished the moment, reach for your dreams, be a teacher someday!" said Kumiko doing some dramatic positions.
"But…but I'm…I'm planning to be a fashion designer someday." Said Yukie in a sorry tone.
"O..oh…That doesn't matter." Said Kumiko in a shameful tone.
"Haha…just do what you like Kumiko. Be a great teacher, and someday, I might get a great help from you."
Kumiko step forward to Yukie.
"Just…just do your best. I'm not pressuring you or anything. Get rid of unwanted hindrance, focus to what's really important."
"Hindrance? Like what?" asked Yukie assuringly.
"You know, group of bad influence friends, maybe guys… (Kumiko tapping Yukie's right shoulder) Just kidding! I know you by heart. You won't do such things right?"
Yukie was getting guilty, her hand was quite shaking.
"Yes, Kumiko. I know that." Said Yukie in a silent tone.
Kumiko was about to leave Yukie's room when suddenly…
"Kumiko."
"Huh?" Kumiko turned her head back.
"Uhmmm… it's not bad to have a boyfriend, right?"
"Huh? What's with the sudden question, Yukie?"
"No…Nothing…" said Yukie, her head looking at the floor.
"Oh… bye."
YUKIE
Now I'm really getting desperate. Where can I get the guts to say everything to her? Maybe…she will get angry to me. Maybe she will shout at me, maybe… maybe not. Focus Yukie, focus! Everything will be alright.

The still guilty Yukie entered Kinshiro with full confidence. She's not that outgoing when it comes to those things. She's been home schooled all her life. The idea just changed when she arrived in the Yamaguchi household, after Kumiko's biological grandfather found her and decided to let her leave with them. Yukie was fine with the family business. In fact, she is more like Kumiko. Yukie was very strong, emotionally and physically. But, as days passes by, the guilt in her heart started to eat her whole.

Kumiko chased the almost leaving bus. This is the day, the moment she's been waiting for in her entire life.
She arrived in front of Shirokin Gakuin.
"Remember Kumiko, you can do it!"
She walked towards the faculty room to meet the vice principal and her fellow teachers. Before opening the door she did her usual 'activity'.
"Faito- O!"
The moment she stepped inside the faculty room, everyone's eyes looked at her. She walked towards the supposed to be vice- principal of the academy.
"Ohayo, everyone!"
A man with a weird hairdo approached her, "You are Yamaguchi- sensei right?"
"Hai." Said Kumiko with her sweetest smile.
"Your late!" said the vice- principal.
"I'm sorry, Kyoto." Said Kumiko bowing her head.
"Anyways…as I was saying… This is the first time were accepting female teachers in Shirokin Gakuin. I expect more from them…" said the Vice- principal, eyeing Kumiko.
And again, Kumiko just smiled as sweetly as possible.
"It's time for your responsibilities. I want Fujiyama- sensei to be responsible for english and be the homeroom teacher for class 3- C."
A short haired lady introduced herself. She wear a semi formal outfit along with a skirt and heels.
Everyone from the staff clap their hands.
"And Yamaguchi- sensei, I'd like her to be responsible for Mathematics and be the homeroom teacher for Class 3- D."
"Nice to meet you all." Said Kumiko.
"Huh?" everyone replied.
Everyone was confused, there reactions was totally far from bliss.
"Kyo...Kyoto, are you sure?" said one of the male teachers.
"Pretty much…"
"But… but…"
"That's the final decision."
The school nurse approached Kumiko and whispered something to her.
"You know, you shouldn't wear those clothes. Wear something more athletic, you know, in case of emergency, you can escape easily."
"Emergency?" asked the confused Kumiko.
"…and now, we are gonna introduce our new teachers with the students. Everyone proceed to the gym.

Fujiyama- sensei and Kumiko sat in the chairs backstage while waiting to be called. Chatters of students were heard. They didn't even pay attention to what the speaker is saying. Truly, Kumiko did was she was told to wear. She wore a red jumpsuit and she set her hair in her usual pig tail form.
"So, why didn't you change your outfit?" Kumiko asked Fukiyama.
"I don't want to look all goofy like you." Said the teacher.
Kumiko just stop herself from doing some unnecessary to her fellow teacher.
"Fukiyama- sensei." The teacher stood up and headed to the stage. As she walks, the students started to whistle in tunes, they stopped doing what they are doing and gave time to stare at her legs. As she arrived at the microphone stand, she started to give a short speech.
"I'm Fujiyama Shizuka, 25 years old, single. I'm gonna be your teacher in English all through out the school year. I will try my very best to teach you with all my heart. Thank You."
As she made her way to the chairs, the students started to chant and clap, "Shizuka- chan! Shizuka- chan! Shizuka- chan!"
"Next is…Yamaguchi- sensei!"
"Oh my God it's me! You can do this Kumiko! Faito- O!
Like Shizuka, Kumiko made her way to the microphone stand. Negative chants started to fill the whole gym.
Instead of paying attention to the crowd, Kumiko just did her best to deliver her speech. She reached the microphone stand, a few crumpled papers was thrown to the stage, thrown to the stage… but obviously targeting.
"I'm… I'm." said Kumiko, losing her concentration due to the growing chant, but still she is trying her best.
"I'm… I'm Yamaguchi Kumiko, 23 years old (A/N: I'm not sure if that's really her age… please correct me if possible!) single. Education, for me, is very precious. I'm willing to guide you, and teach you as well. I will do my very best to be patient and understanding. Thank you."
One of the students shouted, "Bitch!"
"Get out of here!"
"Huh?" asked the puzzled Kumiko.
Suddenly, the door of the gym slammed wide open. The tall figure walked straightly forward. Every student stopped the chants and noises. They all step backward to give way to him. Who is he?
The figure continued walking until he reached his destination. His friends tap him on his shoulder to show their 'HI's' and 'HELLO's'. He yawned, stretching both his arms upon the air, then he stared for a couple of seconds at Kumiko.
"Very odd." Said Kumiko in a whisper.

In that very same day, and outfit, Kumiko walked the corridors of the school. She climbed a few stairs until she reached the corridor towards Class 3- D. She walked and walked until she reached the room. She stared at the door for a few seconds.
"The door… the barrier for me to start my life. Faito- O!"
She held the knob and twist it, then click.
"Ohayo!" said Kumiko in a jolly tone.
She stopped and stared at everything. It was a very messy classroom, I'll tell ya. The chairs are scattered… the walls are painted with odd writings, the students are… odd. There was someone playing the electric guitar, without an amplifier, someone is standing on the chairs, without thinking the danger ahead. The supposed to be twins in striped green shirt started to fight, guys from the back is either talking on their cell phones or just fooling around. Yamaguchi Kumiko thought, again, that it is very weird. Are classes here in Shirokin supposed to be like this? The moment she said 'ohayo', everyone stopped at their doing to stare at her. After a few seconds, their back to their habits, again noisy than ever.
"Ohayo, it's good to see you again." She proceed to the table in front of the chalk board.
She continued speaking eventhough she knew they aren't that much interested.
"Let me introduce myself again." She picked a piece of chalk and started writing her name.
"I'm YA-MA-GU-CHI KU-MI-Ko." As she wrote these word, several crumpled papers are thrown at her, but she did ignored them all.
A fat guy in a red shirt walked to Kumiko's position. They stared at each other, made an eye to eye contact, then he finally said, "Would you get out of here?"
The students started to cheer, "Kuma, Kuma, Kuma".
A guy sleeping at the back, stared at them for a couple of minutes, but then he found it boring watching a helpless teacher beaten up by his fellow classmate. He just smirked and continued sleeping.
Kumiko ignored the fat student and continued writing her other descriptions.
"…23 years old…"
Suddenly, the student moved backwards and held the baseball. He then positioned himself and suddenly, the ball was whopping forward towards the back faced Kumiko.
Kumiko's hands, as quickly as possible without looking, caught the ball, which leaves them all in awe. Now, Shin, as Kumiko heard there friends call him, got interested? Instead of sleeping, he leaned quickly to his chair and gave a slight 'wow' expression.
Shin was somehow puzzled. Did… did he knew their stupid homeroom teacher? Or did he just meet her somewhere? All he knew is that she looks very like 'someone' he loves.
"Your name is Yamaguchi Kumiko, right?"
"Huh?"
"Well, it can be Yankumi…"
"Yankumi?" she asked eagerly.
"Just mix your first name and last name, that'll outta do it."
"Yankumi…hmmmm." She said.
It started out with a few thrown crumpled papers, a few 'bitchy' words, noises, negative cheers, stupidness and a few tweaking of attitude. Yamaguchi Kumiko, I mean, Yankumi, sure is prepared. What will her fate go through in Shirokin? What will Shin gonna be doing every now and then? Yukie… the guilt swallowing her up whole.
