Chapter 5: Wishing You Well
"Man that was some nasty stuff on my shirt… Being a good looking virgin man around with a famous, popular, and very pretty girl around sure is tough…"
Complimenting himself and forgetting his position as a teacher in his thoughts, Eikichi has been pleased about how it turned out so far tonight. No serious conversations will be needed tonight and he'll be out soon to drink with Ryuji and Fuyutsuki, which he considers is the best way to end the first school week.
"Hey I wonder if I can bum off some booze tonight… I got a light roll in the wallet right now…"
"Alright sensei, you look clean and handsome now… shall we go eat now?" Tomoko blushes as she compliments and asks Eikichi about eating the ramen left behind by her dad.
"(gee thanks for the compliment) Yea sure Nomura, I'm hungry for some food now." Onizuka replies with a grin.
"Too bad they aren't fresh… but hey, it's better than anything I can come up with and a lot better than many other things people come up with!"
It was a very odd compliment by Eikichi, but Tomoko didn't mind. She knows her great teacher can't cook even if it costs his job…
"I don't think now is the time… after eating, yes, after eating would be much better…"
"Sensei, after I'm done eating (pauses) I have something I HAVE to show you in my room!"
Eikichi, oblivious to Tomoko's unusual action, BIG wide smile, and the sudden sparkle her eyes, just replied blandly while eating his ramen.
"Alright cool, I'll be there. (Must be some hidden or bonus features from all the action-packed candid cameras she did… whew! Maybe I should've stuck with her through the celebrity business… Maybe I can get some "exclusive" Nomura Tomoko merchandise from her room for some good cash later…)"
"Ryuji you don't look so well… Let's go, it looks like we'll have to get Onizuka on another day or night..." Nagisa said, and Ryuji agreed. His face is turning quite red and a little slur is getting on his speech.
"(Maybe I should really watch how much I drink… (hic) damn, I don't have a measuring stick when that idiot isn't around…(hic) Alright Nagisa, we'll get him out some other time. (Pauses and looks at Fuyutsuki) Will you be waiting for Eikichi?"
Ryuji asks. It was quite amazing he realized, for Eikichi to be late especially when he has a good date for once waiting for him.
"Yes I will, thanks for your concern…" Azusa merely looks down into her mug. Maybe she was wrong about her earlier instincts…
"Alright then, take care. You better drive this time Nagisa." Ryuji shakes his head as he talks.
"That idiot Onizuka better not throw away his chance with this good one."
"Looks like she's changing… oh my god… I better check what is around for me to take!"
A toad-faced Onizuka looks around in Tomoko's room. He is a wickedly perverted teacher who isn't shy about his hobbies, and it's quite well-known among his students.
He begins to explore the room. Searching under the work desks for "exclusive" goods for sell. Then he finally moves on to his final goal: The HUGE drawer of adult goods.
"Now if I can just get this to open… … …OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS GIANT SQUISHY THING ON MY BACK! AND THIS WHITE SOFT ROPE AROUND MY NECK! IS THIS A NEW CELEBRITY THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM!"
"Sensei!"
"WHA-? AHHHHHHHHHHH! I-I-I-IS THAT A DOU-DOUB-DOUBLE "F" SIZE?"
Caught in his perverted act, Onizuka felt embarrassed but…found it satisfying and very surprised when he turned around.
Nomura Tomoko, Star of Candid Camera with her body in skivvies, shocks the great teacher.
"Hello! Sensei! This is what I wanted to show you!"
"That was an annoying problem showing up… alright now the phone call to sweet Eikichi…" Urumi finally mustered enough courage after pacing around for hours… to call her "teacher".
"I sure hope nothing is happening…"
"AHH! WHAT IS THIS! THIS ISN'T ONE OF YOUR CANDID CAMERA ACT IS IT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"
Eikichi in a shocked state stares at Tomoko and asks.
"No sensei… I wanted to tell you and ask you… (turns around and blushes) but when I look at you…---"
Biiiing biiing biiing biiing biiing biiing biiing
"ONIZUKA sensei! This is Fuyutsuki sensei, you are late for your---I mean meeting with Ryuji."
"Fuyutsuki?" Eikichi forgot about his arranged meeting… but still couldn't turn his eyes away from Tomoko.
"…as I was saying… sensei…" Tomoko now a bit flustered tries to pick up where she left off, but was interrupted by another call, which Eikichi answers.
"ONIZUKA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?" The picture of Urumi shows up on Eikichi's camera phone instantly; blushing and smiling, she chills Eikichi to the bones.
"U-u-u-u-u-u-Urumi! Not-not-nothing at all! Ha ha ha! Why are you calling right now?" Eikichi, now caught in a worst position, had no response, but Tomoko thinks otherwise.
"URUMI CHAN!" Tomoko yells in joy and takes the phone from Eikichi, completely unaware of her current state…
Urumi's expression turned into that tears and bitterness.
"So… That's what you ARE doing… YOU BIG IDIOT! WHY DID I EVEN---" The phone screen went into static before she finishes and Eikichi suddenly felt the instinctive urge to run out as soon as possible.
"Sorry Tomoko sweetheart, another time maybe, I'll need my phone back… alright see ya." Onizuka storms out of the room and left Tomoko alone in her room.
Tomoko cries, not even understanding her reason for doing so, but she kept two thoughts in her head.
"…What was Urumi Chan talking about? And sensei, another time...?"
The first thought left a deeper mark in Tomoko's mind.
The cell phone Eikichi gave her laid in shattered pieces. She's has just started crying over what had transpired.
"Did I miss my chance? Was I too slow? Slower than Tomoko? Was he really that much of a block head? Why do I even ask?"
Urumi is now in her room alone. Her mother is away for a business meeting in the evening and had left her to pickup any incoming business phone calls. But now, tears are leaving their marks on her face and blood shots running wild in her color mismatched eyes, she couldn't bear to witness what had just happened.
"It had all been just a long, lasting, and very sweet dream in a mirror… now shattered to a million pieces…"
The home phone ring and she instinctively picks it up expecting the business call, but a different but desperate voice came up with traffic in the background.
"DON'T YOU TRY TO BLACK-MAIL ME AGAIN, I'M COMING TO YOU!"
"…My sole purpose in life is for you, and you only…"
A bitter smile rose at Urumi's lips.
"I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING TO DO TO ME! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I HAVE DONE AGAIN TO UPSET YOU ENOUGH TO PULL A TRICK LIKE HAVING YOUR FRIEND SEDUCING ME! BUT DON'T TRY TO GET AT ME BY BLACKMAILING!"
Eikichi stormed out of the Nomura Ramen shop and got on his rental bike thinking a student might be trying to get at him again.
"Really, after these years they are still pulling tricks on me…"
"Onizuka, what the hell are you talking about?"
"DON'T THINK I DON'T KNOW! I KNOW IT WAS TOO STUPID OF ME TO LET MY GUARD DOWN AFTER YOU WANTED ME TO HOLD A FAVOR! SHIT!"
"What is it now?"
"THE COPS ARE AFTER ME! I'M ON THE PHONE WITH YOU AND ONE HAND ON THIS CRAPPY BIKE!"
"So? Hang up on me like you just did hang up on my feelings."
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
The siren fades away. Onizuka didn't even look back; he knew he had gotten away from the cops again, but now he has a deeper thought on what was going on.
"JUST WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
"…"
"REALLY!"
Before Eikichi had a chance to hear the answer, he crashes into an ATM machine with a large thud.
"So? Hang up on me like you just did hang up on my feelings."
Eikichi drops the broken phone from his hand with Urumi screaming questions about what just happened to him, but he didn't answer, as words begin flowing into his mind.
"What the hell is she talking about? Damn those girls and women… I'll never understand them…"
He fades into unconsciousness just as two shadowy figures began to appear from the sidewalk.
"What the hell Eikichi? So poor now that you crash yourself into the ATM machine to get money?"
Saejima, local police officer and "mad dog" of Tokyo streets comes closer with Fuyutsuki behind him. He is serving as the "escort" for a good citizen of Tokyo at night.
"Wow, I didn't realize this is actually a very easy way to make money… all I gotta do is mark this as theft and I can get away with this… split some with Onizuka and maybe this chick so she'll shut up… hmm better check if there's a camera nearby…"
"Onizuka sensei! What happened to you?"
Azusa blurts out and asks, surprising Saejima.
"You goddamn lucky son of a bitch, guess you already got dibs on this chick…"
"Alright uh, ma'am, should I help you out? I don't have to file a report about this "theft" incident…"
Saejima tries to play out a "good" cop, but has another thought on his mind.
"Hmm, this would make a nice bonus if I turn him in… and I can just hide and lie about the cash…"
"No officer, thank you very much I think I can help him home. I don't live far from here and… does that bike over there still work?"
Fuyutsuki didn't have a clue about what Saejima is thinking, but instead looks over Onizuka and at the crashed bike.
"Yea it looks like it still works. Here, I'll help you prop it back up so you can give him a ride."
Saejima gave a helping hand without even thinking about it, surprising Azusa a bit but nonetheless well-appreciated.
"Thank you officer, I wish you a very good night."
With that, Azusa puts on the Helmet at the bikes side and rides off into the night with Onizuka behind her.
"No problem… SHIT! WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?"
Sweat begins to tickle down Saejima's spine. He has just done a good thing for someone without knowing it, but he is thinking something else.
"WAS THERE A DAMN CAMERA RECORDING WHAT JUST HAPPENED? AND WHY DID I HELP HER?"
"Onizuka, wake up." "You know you are much better than that."
"AHHHH! WHAT THE HELL! DID I DIE AGAIN!"
Eikichi flips and rolls out of a bed roll on the floor and screams his question in panic, surprising Azusa who was on her bed.
"Onizuka sensei, its fine… you are in my apartment nothing is going to hurt you."
Azusa tries her best to calm Eikichi and herself down. Not to her disappointment, Eikichi speaks again with more sense.
"Fuyutsuki! What happened? I was on the phone with a student and something snapped in my head… ughh what is today?"
"Saturday"
If Azusa can read minds, she would think Eikichi is a very dirty person or a person that simply had no idea what happened.
"Oh my god, do I still have that condom in my pocket? Did she do anything to me while I was unconscious?"
The image of Eikichi in a fetish appearing with Fuyutsuki surfaces in the head of Eikichi Onizuka---
"Umm, Onizuka sensei, about last night… what happened to you? Did you forget about the meeting?"
"Oh, uh ha ha, of course not, I was just too busy with another student." (Can't tell you what my students are trying to do to me…)
As Eikichi goes over and touches his temple he felt nauseous and his expression worried Azusa.
"I think I should bring you to a hospital, I know how to drive a bike now."
"Oh no, no, no, I will be just fine, I never want to go back and see those fuzz in nurse uniforms again. I'll be just fin--."
Azusa becomes surprised as Eikichi suddenly falls forward. She was very surprised, but catches him in an embrace.
"Damn it… I wanted to see what she was wearing under…"
Azusa blushes deeply and coughed nervously before striking to remember what has happened before.
"THAT'S IT! I'M TAKING YOU TO THE HOSPITAL AND YOU BETTER NOT WAKE UP ON THE WAY!"
"NO! No! no! I was faking it ha! Ha! Ha!"
Despite his protests, Eikichi was forced down to his knees with a twist on his right year by Azusa.
""I" don't care about what you think! There's too much risk and I don't want to experience what happened three years ago! I'll call the school and let your students know you won't be at school for Monday."
With that, Azusa pulls Eikichi by the ear out of her apartment.
"OW! What would you call the school for? Why would I need three days in the hospital? You can't leave me there! The students will get me!"
The look of desperation appears on Eikichi. Sick days are similar to paid vacation, but with limited days, using them this early in the school year can prove disastrous.
"I DON'T CARE! WE NEED TO GET YOUR HEAD CHECKED OUT! AND I'M SURE YOUR STUDENTS WILL AGREE WITH ME!"
"Really! Onizuka sensei! What can you be thinking about? Can't you emphasize with me at least?"
Sunday night came. It's a shady day with heavy downpour from the clouds. Six people are inside Onizuka's hospital room.
"Hey… (Looking frail and sounding about to faint) Ryuji, what are you doing here? I'm sorry I didn't show up last night---"
Eikichi tries to play the role of an extremely sick person, in an attempt to garner sympathy.
"Eikichi, you moron, what the hell did you do this time to land yourself in here again?"
A non-too happy Ryuji asks, surprising all the other visitors.
"Umm… Ryuji, I think he's really sick. I believe the doctors ran a thorough physical and neurological examination on him today and last night."
"He's faking it. He's too bored in here to do anything other than getting attention from us. The nurses tied up his legs with some anti-break locks and leather bounds."
To demonstrate his point, Ryuji lifts up the blanket covering Eikichi's legs.
"Just to be sure… I'll check his body and head temperature…"
Nagisa leans closer to Eikichi's bedside. Being a trained psychologist and currently studying in psychiatric medicine she is now working part time at the hospital.
"Oh yea… the pleasurable bedside manner of a truly kind doctor with huge…"
Eikichi's face begins to turn red with a mischievous expression as Nagisa leans closer in a loosened doctors' uniform.
"Are you alright Eikichi? You're turning purple"
"Oh… my head… it's…"
Before Eikichi had any more chance to advance, the heel of a high heel shoe hits him on the face.
"Ahem…"
"AHH WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!"
Eikichi turns to face the blond behind Nagisa. He already knew who she was but before he can continue…
"SO…"
Ryuji Danma's eyes were covered by the pair of glasses he wears, a couple of veins begin to bulge out on his neck, and he advances menacingly towards Eikichi.
"NO! NO! NO! RYUJI! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!"
"Well, that was pretty dumb of him, hitting on his best friend's girlfriend." Yoshito Kikuchi stated as a matter-of-fact. He is now with Kunio Murai, Urumi Kanzaki, and Tomoko Nomura outside of Eikichi's hospital room.
"Well, that's just like him, stupid, perverted, and desperate." Kunio responded with barely a laughter contained.
"Not desperate enough to hit on a student's mother… or stud enough to have three girlfriends." Kikuchi cynically made another statement.
"HEY! SHUT UP ABOUT THE MOM THING!"
"Just a fact, and there was a compliment in that one."
Kunio almost wanted to say something, but thought the better of not talking and gave up.
"But you are the one that's with the not-so-smart Tai-Kwan-Do chick, pretty strange pick for a smart karate guy." Urumi makes a comment, breaking a brief stale silence and surprising Kikuchi.
Kikuchi clears his throat to speak, but Urumi speaks again with a wide smile.
"Hmm, maybe Onizuka did some love-matching magic for you and her without any of us witnessing it…"
"(Ahem) Cough…At least I'm not single… COUGH!"
"HAHA! That's funny and true now that I think about it."
Kunio agrees with another Kikuchi's statement of current facts.
"What was that you two!" With that, Urumi gets into an argument with the two. And Tomoko smiles and states.
"Love is in the air!"
"SHUT UP! NOMURA!" Kikuchi, Kunio, and Urumi shouts in unison. And Nagisa comes out of Eikichi's hospital room.
"The four of you will have to leave soon. Is there anything any of you want to say before you leave?"
"Yea, wish him well and good health." Kikuchi stated.
"Same." Kunio agrees.
Urumi hands Nagisa a note and says.
"…I got a note for him and tell him not to share it with anyone. Tell him that the latter part is a favor."
"Same as the boys." Tomoko shyly says.
"Very well then, good night."
With that, the four students walk away. Urumi stops to think and smile as she nears the exit.
"Better to tell you this now… and there will be a twist to this…"
Unknown to even Urumi, Tomoko is outside in the rain thinking and smiling about Eikichi as well.
"Sensei… Wait for me!"
"Good night Eikichi. There's a night lamp and a scissor over on that desk if you need it to open and read your note."
"Thanks, and tell Ryuji to go easy on a hospitalized person. Damn, can he ever stop getting so pissed? It's a compliment to you really."
"Sometimes, I just think it's rude." Nagisa smiles as she exits.
"Lucky ass Ryuji… well, time to read what that little weird girl Urumi has to say to me."
Eikichi turns on the night lamp and does a killer chop to open the note card sealing to find the note's content very shocking to him.
"OH MY GOD! SHE CAN'T BE SERIOUS!"
