Chapter 3: First day at school
We see Sonic and Asuka going to school together. Sonic now wore a white short-sleeved shirt, blue tie, and blue pants. He still has his shoes and gloves. Asuka went with a smile on her face, and Sonic, well, was not too pleased that in addition to going to Ninja school, he would have to attend a normal school.
- (Why didn't the old man tell me beforehand that I would have to go to an ordinary school?) - Sonic waned annoyed at the thought. He hasn't attended school all his life, so why should he do it now? He gained all the knowledge he had during all his adventures. The school would not give him the same experiences as in his adventures.
- Sonic-kun, what's wrong? - Asuka asked with an innocent look.
- Nothing. I just think about what a new school looks like. - Sonic responded with a pretend smile, hiding his annoyance.
- Don't worry. I'm sure you'll like it. My friends will accept you for sure. - Asuka assured Sonic, but she was worried about what would happen when he met a blonde.
- I hope you're right. I am grateful that your family has allowed me to have a night out in you. I still can't believe your parents thought I was your boyfriend. - Sonic giggled, recalling the first meeting with Asuka's parents and embarrassed Asuka.
- Yes, it took some time to explain to them that we had just met. - Asuka said smiling.
- Have you seen that your grandmother looked at me suspiciously all the time? - Sonic remembered that her grandmother was constantly looking at him, making him feel nervous.
- I remember. Grandma never behaved strangely towards others. - Asuka also remembered yesterday's behavior of her grandmother.
After a few hours in the hospital, Sonic was finally able to leave, but another problem came up again. Sonic had no idea where he could go for the night now. Hanzo and Asuka then suggested that he spend the rest of the day with them. With no other option, Sonic accepted their offer with a smile. When they arrived at their home, he was welcomed by Asuka's parents.Entering their apartment, he noticed an elderly woman drinking her tea. Asuka stepped in and introduced her grandmother, Sayuri, to him. Sonic wanted to say hello to the old woman, Sayuri just looked at him with suspicious eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable. When it came time to go to bed, Sonic had to sleep in a futon in Asuka's room, but he had trouble falling asleep because of thinking about his friends. The next day it was time to go to school, Hanzo gave Sonic a school uniform, which he reluctantly put on. As they left, Sayuri continued to give him suspicious eyes, which Sonic simply ignored, but Asuka could see her gaze and was somewhat surprised by her grandmother's behavior.
- It may be better to leave things as they were, OK? - Sonic suggested.
- I'm guessing you're right. - Asuka agreed. Then she pulls the phone out of her pocket to determine what time. When she did, she screamed surprised.
- We'll be late for your first day at school! - Asuka screamed, worrying that they wouldn't go to school.
- Me and being late? Never! - Sonic smirked, then grabbed Asuka in a wedding style, which blushed with embarrassment. Then Sonic fired in the blue sorrow of light. Asuka was able to record everything when they were already standing in front of the school gate.
-And here we are! - Sonic said, pleased with himself. He looked at Asuka, who had spirals in her eyes. Sonic slowly put her on hard ground. Asuka shook her head a little, trying to understand what had just happened.
- H-How did we get here s-so quickly? -Asuka asked, holding her head.. They were halfway to school and now they are under the school gate.
- Umm... It's because of my leg training that makes me so fast now. - Sonic lied, but for the most part it was true. Then Sonic smelled a heavenly smell in the air. He looked to the left and saw the most wonderful thing in the world, which was a stand with chilidogs.
- Chilidogs! Finally!- Sonic shouted with the image of chilidogs in his eyes and a drop of saliva dripping from his mouth. He quickly ran to the stall with his favorite food
- Hey, mister! Two chilidogs please! - Sonic has placed his order. He waited too long not to eat a single chilidog.
- Okay! - the seller with a smile began to make chilidogi. Then Asuka walked over to the booth where Sonic was standing. "Sonic doesn't have time to eat, we have to go to class. - Asuka scolded Sonic with her arms crossed under her breasts - And by the way, do you have any money to pay for it?
Sonic said nothing but fell in defeat. Asuka was right, he didn't have any money with him. He had no idea what currency this world was using. When the chilid dogs were ready, it was time to pay for them. Asuka had no choice but to pay with a sigh. She then handed them over to Sonic, who quickly began to eat them with joy.
- The next time you want to eat chilidog, we can buy it after school, okay?- Asuka suggested to Sonic, now thinking about not being late for class.
- Fine, I'm guessing I shouldn't argue with you.- Sonic licked the remnants of sauce from his fingers. Asuka looked at Sonic with a bit of curiosity. He was laid back, he enjoyed his life, he didn't worry about what might happen to him. Sonic noticed that Asuka was looking at him, so he asked if she had anything on her face, which quickly caused her to look away with an embarrassed face. Then she looked at her phone and, realizing what time it was, quickly grabbed Sonic's arm, pressing his arm to her breasts. Sonic was pulled by the arm with a heavily browned face.
- Let's go! Let's not make others wait for us! - Asuka announced with a smile, pulling the blue-haired boy into a 'special class'.
In a special class...
Inside one of the 'sealed' off section of the school had secret classes that were enticed by the shadowy half of the school as only an elite select few were allowed to enter and be enrolled in. This is the true Hanzo Academy where Shinobi are train and taught to use their abilities for the greater good and help the government maintain order and peace above all else. And only the best of the best was accepted with clean slates…
Though this particular group had a long way to go before they can become fully realized Shinobi.
Inside the tatami-floored old-style classroom, which is called a rotating trick room, sat four girls waiting for their teacher to arrive to start the day of intense training. But also waiting for the last member of their hidden group to arrive and was quite unlike her to be late for class.
- Where is Asuka-san? It isn't like her to arrive after the appointed time, - the ravenette-haired lass tilted her head upon her open palm on the side of her cheek. Resting her arm under her well-endowed womanhood, thinking where her younger kohai was. - Even Kiriya-sensei is late as well.-
Just like the rest of the student body of the school, she wore a button-up white shirt accompanied with a blue tie and a short blue skirt stopping a little past her thighs with black socks reaching her knees and brown shoes. Her long beautiful black hair reaches down to her back with her dark blue eyes looking at the clock pondering where her fellow classmate and mentor might be.
- You worry too much Ikaruga, Asuka's just fine. She has been giddy for the yesterday about something. Might be why she's late for the first time… maybe something good happen~!- the blonde-haired girl sitting next to the ravenette girl spoke with a big grin on her face. - I'm all too happy with having a little time off from studying.-
She also wore the same outfit as her classmate, pleated blue skirt, button-up white dress shirt. Unlike her neighbor, the blonde had part of her outfit open to reveal her cleavage of her impressive bust. Blue ribbons tied like a headdress on top of her blonde hair, with hair matching the length of the black-haired beauty sitting next to her. She stretched her arm out in a relaxing manner which caused her rack to juggle slightly.
The ravenette-haired girl slammed her hand onto the desk with a lot 'WHAM' sound which surprised the blonde beauty by the sudden sharpness of her action. As the one called Ikaruga gave her fellow classmate a disapproving frown and chastised her.
- Katsuragi-san, this is serious! Our kohai is late and our Sensei hasn't arrived yet either and it's already five minutes passed the appointed time for class! It's not like them at all without warning us ahead of time if they're going to be late. - Ikarugi glared at the blonde buxom who looked away with an annoyed and disinterest expression.
- You're always so uptight! You need to learn to relax.- Katsuragi snickered as the bangs of her hair cover her face darkening her eyes in an ominous with a grin to match. - Heh heh… and I know the PERFECT way to do that!-
Fasting than lightning and slippery than a serpent, the blonde buxom beauty wrapped her arms around her classy friend's chest and waist. Regardless of being the same gender, with a perverted smile and glee in her eyes like a dirty old man she quickly and roughly caressed Ikaruga.
- Super Seeeexy! I can't get enough of checking out your boobs here Ikaruga~! Excellent bounce, great firm, perfect volume too…-
- GAH?! Katsuragi, unhand me this instant!-
- My, my, my Ikaruga… I think your chest got a little bigger from last time! This warrants further investigation!-
- Katsuragi-san, I'm warning you!- the black-haired girl barked at her as the curvaceous ravenette student began to reach for her nearby sword on her person to let the blonde-haired lass she's not messing around and will take action to her offense.
Meanwhile in the background the last two members of the class watched on. With the pink-haired one looking worriedly at her Senpais. The silver-haired girl not exactly caring about the usual antics of her sun tinted hair Senpai… as long as she kept her hands off of her neighbor she won't get involved.
- Yagyū-chan… should we do something to stop her?- the bubbly pink-haired girl, known as Hibari, pointed out to the silver-haired pigtailed girl sitting next to her who was minding her own mind sitting there patiently for their teacher to arrive. This pink-haired beauty has quite the unique appearance adorning her hair with three black ribbons that tie up her two short pigtails on the side, but her most pronounced feature, aside from her bosom, were her light blue eyes that peculiarly had dotted with two pink clover-shape pupils.
Her friend, Yagyū, is a quiet girl with long white-silver hair and keep to herself most of the time. Her twintails were tied up by small shuriken with her right eye covered by a black eyepatch that gives her a cool and aloof look to the young first-year student.
Though normally calm and quiet, she will quickly turn into a demon hell-bent on destroying anyone who dared lay a finger or harmed a hair on Hibari's head. Her relationship with Hibari… is unique though oddly one-sided depending on how one views their relationship but at times it would appear that Yagyū is an overprotected older sister to Hibari.
- There's no need, Hibari.- the silver-haired indifferent lass replied back to her classmate in a cool manner. She shut her one eye in thought, as the other is covered by a black eye-patch.- They'll settle this soon… I believe Kiriya-sensei is almost here.-
As if appearing like a devil being summoned, the ashen stoic man arrived in the classroom after opening up the paper tatami door with Asuka tagging along behind him with a big smile on her face. Katsuragi immediately let's go of Ikaruga since Kiriya-sensei is here and also because Ikaruga almost drew her sword on her and realized her fun time was over.
Well there was always Asuka where she could sexual harass later to get some intel where she's been and what she was doing in the yesterday. She's been curious about Asuka's recent after school adventures.
- Good morning everyone, I apologize for starting class after the bell has rung.- he answered them as everyone sat down.- However that being said we're going to have a slow day today.-
Eyes shining happily the sun-colored teen smiled upon hearing it and wrapped her arm around the brunette who sat down next to her. Who tried to break free but smiled nonetheless, as Katsuragi threw her arm up into the open air.- Woohoo! So that means no studying today, right? YES, this is going to be a great day today I can feel it!-
Hibari shared her fellow classmate's joy as she's happy to have a little break as well as she jumped with joy alongside Katsuragi who gave her the thumbs up. Though both Ikaruga and Yagyū looked pleasantly surprised at this announcement if not confused by it as well. It wasn't like their Sensei to announce a break like this unless it was a special occasion.
- Not that I'm not happy to take it easy Kiriya-sensei, but what's the occasion?- Ikaruga raised her hand to ask a question, which Katsuragi just frowned at her. Who cares what the occasion is as long as she… I mean they get out of studying, right? The blonde beauty thought to herself while nodding.
Kiriya took a deep breath, it's about time they knew, and looked around the classroom to make sure everyone was paying attention. With Asuka smiling back at him. Oh, how she waited for this day.- Starting today we will have a new student join us. Due to… certain circumstances this person will be staying here for the unforeseeable future for the time being and will study and train here with us.-
- Eh? New student?-
Everyone, sans for Asuka, looked dumbfounded at first and then broke into bewilderment seconds later.
A new student? A transfer student possibly? Here with them!? Katsuragi could HARDLY contain her excitement. A new classmate to pal around with… and get jiggy with! Hopefully she has an excellent figure like the rest of the girls in her classroom. She cannot help herself around cute sexy girls and just can't resist fondling them which is making her fingers start to twitch.
Hibari smiled brightly as she heard about the new student. Hibari is always excited to make new friends and since this person is starting here as a new student perhaps she'll be in the same year as her? How great would that be? Yagyū, the new student, and Hibari herself would be friends in the same year and the pink-haired girl couldn't wait to meet her newest friend.
Yagyū didn't seem to be all that interested, but happy to see her friend Hibari be so jovial. Hopefully it's not someone like Katsuragi with her… unwanted affection and would be nice to Hibari. Ikaruga is quite surprised to hear a new student but welcomed their newest recruit with open arms. What was she like she wondered?
Kiriya coughed into his hand to continue.- Yes, we will be getting a new student starting today. However, try not to ask too much questions. One of the circumstances I mentioned involved an incident rendering our new student… had a hurtful accident.-
- Eh? Accident? Are this new student is alright?- Ikaruga asked in an alarmed manner, and the once cheery atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy upon hearing that. Even Yagyū, the most expressionless one, even looked worried.
-Yes.- Kiriya answers nonchalantly and continued.- However despite the accident our newest addition to our group is perfectly fine and healthy.-
The girls sighed with relief.
- Though, like I've said, don't ask too many questions. I would like all of you to get along withhimand do your best to try to makehimfeel welcome and comfortable duringhistime here.-
- He?-
The room was silent at first as it took everyone by surprise as everyone thought it was going to be another girl. Except for Asuka who just giggled at their shocked expressions. There's going to be amale, as in aboy, in their classroom? It was unprecedented, except many years ago, as it's rare for males to join this school in this day and age. Well, notexactlyrare per say. Oh, sure there's were boys at this school that don the Hanzo crest on their bags however those boys werenormalstudents and notninjastudents.
Even though the male to female ratio was very noticeable and steep, as more and more of the females became ninja over the years. Perhaps it was a change in the location, or the rumors they heard, or maybe males have outgrown or saw no need to be Shinobi and pursued over goals now that society has grown and new dreams were born every day.
While the normal student body had a nice balance of boys and girls here, though there were more of the estrogen group than the testosterone group in the school which is a fact, the shadowy half of the school wasn't.
Kiriya himself was among the last of the male Shinobis to graduate from the Ninja Academy years ago and after many missions on the field as a full-fledge Shinobi he returned to the school to teach the next generation on their way to learn the 'Path of the Shinobi'. However, since then it's been girls, girls, and more girls attending the other side of the school hidden in the shadows.
Now after such a long time the school is about to get another male walking down the life of the Ninja. So, it's no wonder the girls were beside themselves to learn that the new student is a male of all things. With each one having a different thought about a male student attending their extracurricular classes.
- So… what's he like? Is he going to be arriving soon?- Katsuragi perked up and asks gleefully, adjusting her ribbons and straighten out her hair to look presentable. Katsuragi could hardly contain her vivid thoughts. A boy will be joining their little group! A room filled with nothing but drop dead gorgeous sexy babes with fine figures? Oh, she bet that a healthy young man wouldn't be able to keep his eyes and hands off any of them. And the feeling was mutual in the blonde's case and she'll definitely have her way with him one way or another. How fast can she send him into heavenly paradise she wondered?
How much can she make him squirm under her magic touch she hoped? Is he at least cute or a total hottie? Either way is fine with her as long as he's cute! Does he like to fondle or be fondled? Heck, it doesn't matter at this point… SCORE! Katsuragi giggled fiendishly as her eyes sparkled with delight. Today really IS a great day. But one thing she hoped for is that he's STRONG! If not… well she'll just have to fix that withprivatelessons.
Ikaruga, the well-endowed ravenette girl on Katsuragi's side, had less… colorful thoughts about their first male student in their group. Since this person is joining them and their extracurricular classes he must hail from a Shinobi family and live up to the family name like most cases by starting here or must be a Shinobi already. Though it does feel strange especially hearing thesecircumstancesthat Ikaruga couldn't help wonder about them. What lead to them? Most importantly…
She thought… what is he like? Is he at least a cordial person? Strong? Kind? Stubborn? A hardworker or a slouch? Or is he as bad as Katsu… oh god forbid another Katsuragi among them! One was bad enough! Hopefully that's not the case. How good were his skills? Is he a weapon specialist or a melee fighter? If he's strong she hoped she could provide her with a new kind of challenge to improve her skills or if he's still new she would gladly tutor him and guide him on his way to be a proper Shinobi as class representative.
The thought of one-on-one training with a male outside of her family caused Ikaruga to glow a little pink around the cheeks and if she were old self she would definitely not feel this way. Oh, how excited to experience a new kind of emotion and towards a boy she hasn't met yet. Just please be a gentleman…
Asuka hasn't told anyone about her new friend yet as both Kiriya-sensei and her grandfather, Hanzo-san, wanted to keep him a secret until he was ready to join their group. However, she couldn't help but worry about him. Would he get along great with the others? She knew Katsu-nee is more than likely to like him and hound him at the same time, which for unknown reasons caused the cute brunette girl to frown at such a thought. She didn't like the thought of Katsu-nee harassing her new friend like that… yup that's totally it.
But since he's joining their group he most likely be a first-year which saddened Asuka to think about. She was hoping he'd be placed in her year group, even though it doesn't work like that, as she didn't want to be the only one in her year alone. She thought of him as her new best friend already, even though she clearly doesn't know everything about him including he himself and vice versa regarding him, but the cutie wanted him to be next to her as she felt responsible for him. Ever since that day she found him in the woods, she silently vowed to herself to always protect him.
Though she hoped having him around wouldtamea certain blonde in their group and restraint herself from her usual antics of fondling them. Goodness graces how embarrassing it would be for Sonic to see them in such compromising poses and would die of embarrassment if he saw her in all her glory with her chest and panties exposed to ogle! That's too intimate already and only couples do something like that! Huh…? Eh… wait! What was she thinking about all of a sudden? Her face is now matching the color of her bandanna around her neck now with her hands covering her face.
The two first-year girls were unsure what to think about a male student joining them. Hibari always welcomed the idea of a new friend, but she's never had a male friend before. Not to mention she wasn't exactly sure how that would be especially in a room normally filled with girls, save for their Sensei, especially around their age group.
Though the more Hibari thought about it the more she wanted to meet him. Boys like video games typically and Hibari herself loved playing video games and so she felt he'll be a good friend after all! Oh, maybe they can have sweets and snacks together and work together to become better Shinobi since he's new here and all and most likely a beginner like Hibari! But Hibari is more experience so she, and the notion that she's better than someone, made her feel a little happy but desired for the both of them to do their best and succeed as Shinobi and it is making her encouraged now.
And maybe they could hang out at the Amusement Park after school or the Arcades together and not feel weirded out at all. As she's normally a little scared going to the Arcades by herself without Yagyū to tag along to make sure the guys there don't bother or make fun of her! Maybe having a male friend doesn't sound so scary at all and she's even more welcomed to the idea of him as her friend now more than ever!
Yagyū on the other hand wasn't as thrilled at the proposition of having a male student around. Though it's not like she should deny him the right to become a Shinobi since he has chosen to walk down that path to the end. However, she felt wary of his presence nonetheless. She's not particular too close to the opposite gender but is alright with having another student and comrade in their midst.
As long as he doesn't do anything inconsiderate or touches Hibari in an inappropriate manner then he can stay. Yup as long as he stays away from Hibari and not flirt with her, peek on her, seduce her, try to take her innoc…*cough*then he's alright in her book.
- Kiriya-sensei, I question if I might ask?- Ikaruga once again raised her hand in the air to get her master's attention. To ask some questions regarding their mystery student that has been scrabbling inside her head for some time.
- Hmm?-
- This new student… how long has he been a Shinobi? What's his family like?- Ikaruga was quite curious about his skill level and his family ties to their society. Is he from an established and well-known Shinobi family or a lesser known one? She knew asking him too many questions might cause some discomfort so it's best to ask the teacher seeing that he's overseeing his enrollment into their class and might provide an answer in this stead without accidentally mentally traumatizing him with an innocent question.
Surely his family is helping out as best they can to help him after this accident. He felt much better after all from what their Sensei has told them.
However, Kiriya looked somewhat displeased at the question, as Ikaruga and the rest, except for Asuka who frown sadly, all looking a little stunned by his expression, as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.- He's a special case… in other words, he's wasn't a Shinobi at first nor is he from a Shinobi family. He's an outsider, a normal person. Though it is unheard of and only students from Shinobi background are allowed entry to this school, he is the rare exception. However, he is shown to possess a special talent well-suited for as a Shinobi and, like I said, due to certain events, he has been forced into the Shinobi path. All we could do is properly raise him along the way.-
- Wha…?- Ikaruga's mouth hanged open as well as Katsuragi nearly losing her balance and almost fall over on her back upon hearing that. Even Hibari and Yagyū were taken aback by it all. He's NOT a Shinobi or came from a family of one? Basically, he's like the normal student mass here but he's going to be train in the art of the ninja? Was that even possible? Isn't there a rule against that? Well seeing as he how he is considering he's joining their case. Wait, rare exception? What does that mean? And what's this about a special talent
- I'm aware what you're all thinking.- Kiriya cleared his throat.- However Hanzo-sama and myself have discusses this with the rest of the council and decided the best course of action was to train him as a Shinobi. We'll get into more details about it later, but for now in order to speed up his training he will be specially placed in second-year to get a head start about the ways of the ninja.-
- EH?! He's going to be in the same year as me?!- Asuka didn't know what to say and wasn't aware of that fact. One she was stroked to have her new friend in the same year as her, but on the other isn't it unorthodox to have him not start the first-year to get a handle on the basics? Though having a Yōma on your tail doesn't give one a lapse of luxury it seems. So, it's only logically that he starts off with more options to work with to improve himself as quickly as possible.
Kiriya nodded to confirm it.
- Well this is a shocker.- Kasturagi was the first one to speak up after the initial shocking revelation of their new student's origins.- But who cares if he's from a Shinobi family or not? We got a GUY joining us! I'm all too happy to hear that!-
Sighing at her classmate's usual nonsense behavior, Ikaruga rubbed her temple.- I'm not entirely sure about any of this, but since Hanzo-sama has agreed to this so I won't object. Though I am worried what caused him to follow this path of life as it's harsher for regular people. As class representative I will do my best to look after him and guide him as a proper Shinobi.-
- So… where is our new boy to… I mean classmate at?- Katsuragi casually and slyly asked though everyone picked up what she was going to say causing everyone in the room to sigh. They feel bad for him already if he is left alone with Katsuragi in the first couple of weeks… nix that, first few days before he can handle himself with the pervy blonde resident. Let alone in a fight.
- He's been here the whole time. You may come in now.- Kiriya looked at the classroom's open and called out to the hallway causing all of the girls' heads to turn in that direction. He wasalreadyhere from the start and they didn't notice?! Were they too preoccupied with the thought of the boy or how late Asuka and Kiriya-sensei were to notice he was here or he had exceptional masking skills to prevent detection from them?
The rest of them thought, minus Asuka as she already knew as she guided him here. Did he hear everything they said just now? Oh… Ikaruga feels slightly ashamed of herself, she might have put the new student down already because of her views and make him feel less than himself, but she didn't mean it like that! She was concern for his well-being considering his status.
With Sonic...
- Okay, Sonic. You can do this. It's peace of cake, just give your best shot. All right, here goes nothing!- Sonic motivated himself and entered the classroom, standing next to Kiriya.
- Introduce yourself to the class.- Kiriya said.
The blue-haired boy straighten himself in front of the class and tried his best to smile normally with a big goofy grin as he introduced himself to the girls with a semi-salute. - Hello! I'm Sonic and starting today I'll be your new classmate! I look forward to studying with you, so please take care of me!-
He looked around the room as the girls remained silent which caused Sonic to grow more nervous and scared each passing moment. Even Asuka was worried about her friends' eerie silence as it's not like them. Especially Katsu-nee who would normally jump in joy already or reaction at least. Did he do something wrong? Perhaps having a male in a room normally filled with girls was too disoriented for them and felt like he intruded into their holy presence. He glanced back and forth between the girls growing more nervous.
- JACKPOT!- the utter silence is broken by single blonde in the room as she shot up her arms gleefully as everyone was staring at her and the young man stepped back a bit nervously. - He's a cutie! A total cutie! I'm so happy such a cute boy is joining us! Don't worry Sonic-kun, your Katsu-nee will take very good care of you.-
- (Why do I have a strange feeling that I should be afraid of this girl?)- Sonic was now a bit afraid for his life in the company of this girl.
The rest of the girls in the classroom sighed. Ikaruga facepalmed at the utter indecency of her fellow classmate by her vague comment she understood, but it was to be expected seeing as it is Katsuragi. While Asuka scrunched up her eyes and growled lowly at that, hoping that she doesn't scare off or give her new friend the wrong idea about the class and her friends. Hibari and Yagyū simply exchange glances with one another, albeit more concerning on Hibari's part as she knew what Katsuragi is like.
Yagyū on the other hand, despite not being all that interested in the boy, felt sorry for him already to be on Katsuragi's radar immediately.
Despite Katsuragi's little outburst the pinkette looked like she was ready to burst upon meeting a new friend and Yagyū watched her friend careful in hoped she doesn't get too ahead of herself. The boy seemed relevantly harmless enough. As long as he's on good behavior, she'll allow him around Hibari.
- Should I be worried?- Sonic 'shielded' his mouth with his hand, in an attempt to block Katsuragi from hearing what he says, as he asked Kiriya-sensei about his new friend's erratic behavior as he seems very wary of the girl's strange enthusiasm.
Kiriya-sensei rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed. - Don't mind her too much, she won't cause you any harm. Though I suggest to keep your guard up around Katsuragi. She tends to go overboard at times.-
Not entirely reassured by Kiriya's answer Sonic nervously chuckled to himself as he rubbed the back of his head.
- You may take a seat. We'll begin with briefly summarizing the history of the Shinobi. - Kiriya gestured to Sonic to take his place among the group. - Today we're going to cover the basics on the Shinobi way of life by going through the history and arts to allow Sonic to be brought up to speed on our teachings. After class, Sonic, I will show you to the boys' dorm where you will be living from now on.-
- Hai, Kiriya-sensei.-
- Sonic-kun, come sit with me!- Asuka cheerily waved to the boy as the boy smiled back as he sat right now to her. Sonic felt more comfortable with Asuka than the other girls considering that she's the first girl here he personally knows and trusts, no offense to the others.
- Asuka, why don't you start and explain the history to Sonic? It's good for all of you to refresh your memories and look over the basics as well. - Kiriya beckoned Asuka seeing how eager she is to introduce her new friend to their Shinobi ways. It's good for Asuka to develop and grow closer to her friends and comrade, but she needed to remain focus on the task at hand. She and the rest can goof off after school.
- Certainly! - Asuka nearly stuttered, taken aback and blushed slightly for not paying attention and right in front of her new friend no less!
- Shinobi were once servants of the feudal lords that ruled Japan in the past, specializing in espionage, subversion and assassination. With the influx of Western culture after the Meiji Restoration, the feudal system began to collapse, causing them to fade from public consciousness. - Asuka started out from reading her book out loud to the class. The occasional glance to see if Chris was paying attention and he was. Put it quite bluntly he seemed mesmerized by the history and he listened on eagerly for the rest of the history. It seemed he's very fascinated with Japanese history.
Asuka continued. - Even so, however much time passes, the nature of business does not change. There is always a need for those who dwell in darkness. Yes, even today, Shinobi perform their duties. Hanzo National Academy. To the outside world, this is merely a huge prep school with roughly one thousand students enrolled. However, alongside the regular students… disciples of Shinobi hone their art completely invisible to their classmates. -
- Hanzo Academy's private mission is to serve as a national institution for training Shinobi. The school was established to create a force to counter the behavior of unsanctioned Shinobi. Right now, the Shinobi affiliated with the national organization are called Zennin, or Good Ninja, and the ones operating outside of the law are known as Akunin, or Evil Ninja. -
- And that's our brief summary of our Shinobi history. - Asuka closed her book and smiled to Sonic.
- Wow, that sounds so cool! - Sonic smirked, but that smile quickly turned into a disgusted expression on his face.- Though I'm not too particular keen on the 'assassination' bit of the Shinobi. We're not allow to do that, right? Can't we just subdue our foes? I don't like ending someone else's life, even if it's for the greater good…-
Apparently to the class Sonic doesn't seem to like needlessly bloodshed, showing a laid back, gentle of the boy and Kiriya sighed at this. Not of disappointment, but a forlorn sadness. - Though we haven't deployed assassination missions in a long time now, but we must do what we can to protect the peace. That is what it means to be a Shinobi. -
- Is that so…- Sonic cast a disgusted glance to the table. A quite depressing and sad fact to register to the boy who's never fought or harmed anyone out of spite or defense and it troubled him (AN: the girls have no idea about Sonic's adventures and they see him that way). The rest of the girls picked up on this. He's very gentle person. Will he be alright being a Shinobi?
- Oh! Question. - Sonic instantly raised his hand catching the attention of Kiriya and the girls. Clearly, they weren't expecting him to bounce back so fast with a curious shine in his eyes.
- Proceed. -
- So, are there like Shinobi not aligned with neither causes? -
Kiriya furrowed his brow upon the strange question. - What do you mean? -
- I mean, are there, like gray area Shinobi or Neutral Shinobi that operates out of the normal chain of command that Good and Evil Shinobi uses? What does one call a Neutral Ninja anyway? -
Kiriya pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. He's going to be quite an interesting addition to the class. - There are no Shinobi like that in the past. They closest term you are looking for are Nukenin, a renegade ninja or rogue ninja. Shinobi thrive on serving under a lord or leader to perform their tasks, and it would unorthodox for a Shinobi to wander on their own without a master, good or bad. -
- Oh, I see. - the young man seemed slightly unsatisfying in the answer hoping for more as he leaned on his arm on the table with a dishevel expression. Katsuragi and Hibari giggled at his bored reaction and Ikaruga looked on curiously. He's a strange one. Yagyū didn't seem interest in the question or the expression the boy bore on his face but kept a silent watch on him. She needed as much information on him as possible.
- Hibari. - Kiriya called out to the pink-haired lass who slightly hopped up in squeaked upon being called on by her instructor. - It's time to tell us about the Secret Ninja Art. -
- Y-yes sensei. - Hibari answered her master in a panic manner as she wasn't expecting to be called upon and quickly looked through her book to the designated subject. - Hmmmm… Ah, here we go. In order to surpass one's own limits, one must call upon the power of nature itself. That's what it means to be a Shinobi. -
- It is? - Chris interrupted unintentional. - I thought the main meaning to being a Shinobi is one who moves along stealthily in the shadows using tools to scale buildings and attack in silence. -
- Fundamentally it is, but there's more to a Shinobi than that. - Kiriya answered Sonic's question. - Calling upon the forces of nature allows a Shinobi to utilize their abilities to the utmost best. And each Shinobi has a Guardian Animal Spirit, or Animal Summon, that draws out their locked innate abilities to invoke the art of the ninja. -
- Guardian Animal? -
- Yes, let me explain. - Kiriya cleared his throat. - Each of your classmates have these Guardian Animals to invoke their Ninpo, Ninja Art a.k.a. Ninjustu, and element type. Asuka has draws power from the Toad for her Earth-Based Ninpo, Ikaruga from the Phoenix for her Fire-Based Ninpo, Katsuragi from the Dragon for her Wind-Based Ninpo, Yagyū the Squid for her Water-Based Ninpo, and finally Hibari the Rabbit for her Lightning-Based Ninpo. -
- Cool. - Sonic seemed enthralled by what he heard with his blue eyes enlarging with stars of admiration shining in them. - That sounds awesome! I think the Dragon one sounds the coolest, since I find Dragons as the coolest and most majestic creatures around the world and wind is my element. -
- Eh…!? Sonic-kun! - Asuka frowned at him. What's wrong with Toads? Sure, they're not as majestic as Dragons, but they have their own merits as well! She was going to have to scold him later, while Katsuragi snickered with delight. The blonde knew they'll get along just fine considering, as the ravenette girl began to sweat in worry.
- So… what's my Guardian Animal then? - Sonic asked curious to what type of Guardian Animal he has and his element type? Perhaps a Wind-Based one for speed or a Fire-Based one for offensive? An Earth-Based type isn't so bad for defense if possible. Lighting sounds pretty cool too!
- We'll hopefully find out tomorrow during your first Ninja Training. Today we are merely deluging you with the fundamental of the Shinobi we teach here. - Kiriya informed the curious Chris - Moving along. To use these abilities, you must possess the Ninja Arts Scroll. It must be on your person at all times. -
- Ninja Arts Scrolls? -
- Hai. -
- I see, so in order to use your Ninpo you have to embed your Guardian Animal to gather the power of nature inside the scroll to use and keep it on you at all times? -
- Precisely. -
- Just to let you know, I keep mine under my skirt. - Katsuragi winked at Chris who blushed bashfully at the thought and shyly looked forward.
- Um… I-I see. - he responded nervously earning a giggle from Katsuragi and teasing him further.
- So cute. - she purred.
- Oh, well mine's in my cleavage for safe keeping! - Asuka chirped happily until she realized she said that out loud… with a boy in the room.
…
…
…
He doesn't say anything, but his eyes shift to the side avoiding Asuka's contact as the brunette buxom vixen blushed furiously at her mistake and her face is even redder than his. How could she say that out loud and in front of him of all people! Talk about embarrassing! There's no way he'll look at her the same way again, she's tarnished her reputation for the boy's pure image of her already. She could just crawl under a bed and die now!
- Hmmm…. Cleavage. - Katsuragi crooked a sinister smile and chuckled mischievous with her hand covering her mouth as she does. - I don't know, that just doesn't sound safe to me. Lemme see how well it's hidden! -
- Kyaaaa! - Asuka cried as Katsuragi assaulted and tackled her to the group as Katsuragi quickly unfastens Asuka's button shirt to… determine how well guarded her scroll is with her rainbow-colored swimsuit underneath for all to see. - Katsu-nee… please stop it! Sonic-kun is right there, he'll see everything! -
- Heh heh heh… it's fine, it's great to have a boy ogle you all day! Don't worry! This won't take a minute. - Katsuragi massaged Asuka's bountiful chest with her bare hands and whispered to herself. - So soft… so firm… and so sexy! Wearing a swimsuit as underwear! You sure you're trying to arouse us? -
Sonic wasn't sure what to make of it but his face was red-hot flushed and averted his eyes by covering them with his hands blocking his view. It's indecent for a gentleman to look at a lady in such a manner, especially when she's getting sexual harassed by her fellow female friend but he had to do something to stop her!
- Katsuragi, please stop! You shouldn't harass others like that especially during class time! -
- Oh? - Katsuragi perked up, seemingly annoyed as she reluctantly let's go of Asuka. - What's a matter with you? Call me Katsuragi-chan or Katsu at least. -
Katsuragi slide passed Asuka and inched her to Sonic's side rubbing her body, more noticeable her chest, into his left arm as she smiled mischievously at him. - And don't tell me you didn't enjoy that in the least. You're face suggests otherwise. -
- Um… well, I…-
- Or… perhaps you want me fondling you like that? - Katsuragi purred on his arm as the boy's head exploded by the suggestive comment with steaming erupting from his head as he couldn't think straight anyway from feeling the softness of his classmate's chest. This is too sinful, bad boy, bad! But he couldn't help but enjoy it a little… oh curses, control yourself Sonic ! This isn't the time to enjoying this!
Seeing the boy squirming from just the suggestive alone Katsuragi pursed her lips together in a satisfying manner, licking her lips even so lightly. She's going to have oh-so-much fun with him every day now… I wonder how good he is in bed?
- Katsuragi, please try to refrain from sexually harassing others during class. - Kiriya sighed as he nips the bud at the roots to prevent this from going out of hand. It's fine if it's outside school and if they want to goof off, but right now they're having a class session and need to get back on track.
Katsuragi grumbled as she moves back to her seat. - No one ever lets me have fun… but I got good data on our new friend, heh heh heh. -
- Honestly Katsuragi-san! Can't you control yourself and act proper for a change? You can't do what you normally do in class now that we have a boy in our age group among us now! - Ikaruga scolded her blonde friend and silently praised the young man for trying to stop Katsuragi's habit at least and show proper decency by not taking advantage of the situation.
Asuka covered her chest after buttoning up and looking away embarrassedly from Sonic. How much did he saw? Then again, he did cover up his eyes to prevent himself from looking. Showing good willpower, but she also felt depressed. Did he not have any interest at her at all? Huh? What is she thinking all of a sudden, they're not a couple or anything like that at all. However, she felt disappointed that he didn't see her as a woman and just a friend. Oh, such conflicting emotions she was having right now.
- Asuka, continue on with the introduction of the Super-Secret Ninja Arts. - Kiriya asked Asuka to read out loud to the class, either ignoring or not noticing Asuka's little dilemma.
Finding her composure Asuka reads off with they left at. - Yes, sir. The Super-Secret Ninja Art. As the name implies, it's a stronger form of Ninja Art. -
…
- That's all it says here. - Asuka tilted her head with a confused look. Why isn't there more information about this Ninja Art?
Kiriya gave a slight wily smile at the class. - And why would that be all it says? There's actually a reason for that. -
- Can I answer? - Sonic raised his hand up once again and Kiriya nodded to let him continue. Intrigued by what he might say as he's just starting out as a Shinobi. - I believe it's because it's a special secret Ninja Art. Something that powerful and dangerous shouldn't be well-known to others in fear it might endanger those inexperience or not ready to use and to prevent your enemies from learning about it. Aside from it being stronger than the normal, that is. -
Everyone, well mostly the girls, glanced at him with an astonished look while Kiriya smiled. - Well… I would think it's kinda common sense regarding dangerous artifact or power. -
- Impressive answer and that is quite correct, though there are many other factors as well. - Kiriya praised the blue-haired youth. He seemed to be a fast learner and has good perception, who in turn tilted his head curiously about the other factor parts. The teacher continued. - The Super-Secret Ninja Art Scroll is the pride and joy of our school, and its contents must be kept an absolute secret. -
- Amazing! Sonic-kun is really smart. - Hibari praised quietly to herself. He's totally new to the ninja ways and he already understands so much in such short time, Hibari is impressive if not a little envious of him. She totally didn't think of such a possibility with the Super-Secret Ninja Arts scroll. She needs to step up so he doesn't leave her in the dust.
- I see he's a bit of a brainiac, but that's OK he's still cute. - Katsuragi giggled to herself as she looked at the boy a little too fondly.
Asuka mumbled to herself about how quickly her friend came to that conclusion and it made sense to her when she thought about it. Perhaps Sonic thinks more logically than others? But she felt proud of him too, though. - Huh… I wonder what's written in it. I really want to read it now! -
- I'm afraid not, Asuka. - Kiriya closed his book. - The Super-Secret Ninja Art Scroll is located in a secluded and well-protected area for safe-keeping. -
- Aw phooey.
- Well I believe that's enough for today, class dismissed. - Kiriya signaled the end of the class for today, as his students thank him for the early release, as he walked to the doors and then beckoned to the young man. - Sonic, follow me please. I'll show you to the boys' dorm where you will be living for the remainder of your stay here. -
- Hai, sensei! - Sonic perked up and followed Kiriya out the door.
- They seem to be an interesting lot. - Sonic sighed as he walked beside Kiriya feeling a little tired, not from the lessons but a particular student who got a little frisky with him. He completely understood what Asuka meant when she said one of them would definitely like him instantly.
Back at the Asuka sighed a little sadly. If felt strange not having him around even if they only known each other for a yesterday but the time they spent at her family's home felt like a she known him forever. As reminiscing about it a sudden pair of arms grabbed her and pulled her head into a big pillow cushion.
- Gah… Katsu-nee?! -
- Asuka~! You got some explaining to do! - Katsuragi announced sneakily as Asuka noticed the same perverted gaze she gives her when she wanted to do something to her. - You seem awfully chummy with our new classmate already. Why is that? -
- Well… about that…- Asuka voice began crackling as she tried to explain as the rest of her classmates had circled around her. It seemed, they too, were eager to know the little history between Sonic and herself to clear their suspicions about why Asuka has been rather giddily as of late.
She sighed and took a deep breath as she recalled the events surrounding Sonic.
After telling her classmate about how she and Sonic first met, which took a good hour or so to explain every detail, and that he's been staying at her family's sushi restaurant the girls head down the halls of their Shinobi building to the fabled male dorm on the opposite side of their dorms. At first hearing about how both Asuka and Kiriya found him all beaten up in the training grounds, the wilderness woods where they perform their Shinobi training, sent the girls in a frightful tussle as they were worried if he was alright.
Seeing he is the picture of picture health, he was fine, but the oddity of it all left the girls feeling mixed emotions about it. How did he end up in the woods in the first place? And why was he injured? Asuka refrained to inform them about themonsterthat is hunting Sonic as per Kiriya and her grandfather's instructions. How she wished she could tell them so they can prepare themselves to fight off this creature should it ever rear its ugly head to attack their new friend once again.
But she wasn't allowed to as it was the rule and law of the Shinobi.
Pushing those thoughts aside they ventured into the boys' dorm to see what Sonic's living quarters were like. Katsuragi has been at this school the longest out of everyone here with Ikaruga joining a little while after during their first-year, then followed by Asuka the next year, and finally Hibari and Yagyū. During their time here, the girls weren't aware of the dorm of the opposite hallway of theirs. Correction, they just have no reason to explore the other side as they knew it was the boys' dorm seeing as they stood in the girls' dorm.
Having not been used in a long time it remained a mystery to the girls… until today and one mystery the Kunoichi are curious to unveil. That and some of them want to know what Sonic's room looked like, some keeping that to themselves and others… actually other… was more eager to express their interests.
- I'm kinda curious to what his room looks like! Do you think he's got posters of girls all around the room?- Katsuragi openly said out loud to on one in particular as she giggled at the idea of whattreasureshe has in his room.
- Katsuragi-san please restrain yourself from doing anything… dubiously. Honestly, I don't think we should be here at all, this is the boys' dorm after all and we shouldn't invade Sonic's privacy like this. - Ikaruga warned Katsuragi. Though if she were honest the ravenette babe is actually curious about the boys' dorm and how Sonic lived as well.
- Nothing ventured, nothing gained!- Katsuragi proclaimed vivaciously causing the rest of the girls to sigh in deadpanned unity.
Yagyū made a mental note to herself that she'll see what's in the room first before Hibari sets her eyes on anything distasteful for Hibari's innocent eyes to look upon as soon as Katsuragi will most likely just barge into the room. Hopefully not. She's not at all that curious about a boy's room… well maybe ever-so-slightly a little she does… she's just making sure Hibari isn't exposed to something disgraceful that will taint the cute and pure hearted bunny lover. She will be punishing someone if they violate her friend's purity.
While Sonic was staying with her at her family's place, they shared a room together though Sonic opted to sleep on the room with a futon instead. He seemed to really enjoy sleeping in a futon for the first time going by his delightful reaction and let Asuka stay in her bed.
They didn't exactly have a guest room per say, it's just the extra room wasn't cleaned in a while so they couldn't leave the boy in a messy and dusty room. The blue-haired young man was very well-behaved and did nothing indecent during his stay but keep his guard up around his bags. What were in those bags she wondered?
As the finally reach the shoji door, the only one that has traces of someone using it of late, they stood outside of the room that they've been searching for. What do they say? What should they do? Would he be pleased or annoyed for them imposing on him after setting his things in there?
Though a bit hesitant at first Ikaruga raised a small fist to gently knock on the paper door… only for her blonde-haired year-mate to reach for the shoji door first and pulled it wide open. Without the slightest thought of semblance of privacy and decency and strolled right in casually with a big grin on her face.
The girls stood there utter stunned by Katsuragi's audacity to the whole situation… they're entering a BOY'S room for all things! What would happen if they came upon him while he was CHANGING into a different outfit and they caught him midway in such a compromising situation?
It was downright embarrassing and the thought of catching the boy with his pants down… oh man! The girls' faces blushed ever so red at such a thought, especially poor Asuka who was the closest to him and was poking her fingers together nervously. His slim but slightly tone abs and chest, his masculine yet smooth arms, he's… argh! She's got to stop that! Her face is turning into a shade of red if that was possible.
- Aw… what the hell! He's not even here, what a letdown!- Katsuragi distained her exacerbate about finding the young man not present in all his glory for her to ogle as she pleased.
Upon hearing Kasturagi's declaration the girls let out a relieving sigh and placed a hand over their chest to calm their excited hearts down. They didn't want to catch the boy at a private moment or be here and angry at them for barging into his room unannounced.
The brunette cutie was happy they didn't find Sonic in a compromising manner, but a flickered thought of disappointment echoed in her mind that she didn't get to see an exquisite show before her eyes. But, quickly ironed this out by shaking her head to mask her disappointment. Hopefully no one caught on to it and thankfully they didn't as Katsuragi stomped her foot expressively at the lack of her new playmate to mess and tease with.
- Well… I'm not letting this trip go to waste! Time to explore the wonders of his bedroom then. - Katsuragi decided to work out her frustration by checking out his room as compromise for the lack of a free show panning out for her view to enjoy.
- Katsuragi-san…! Wait!- Ikaruga shouted out the buxom blonde but it's was too late as she already started snooping around their new classmate's room.
A folded-up bedroll placed neatly in the corner of the room right next to a small bookshelf with a number of comics filling the shelves. An empty backpack and two gym bags stack together. A widescreen TV on top of a small table with many game consoles; PS4, Switch, PS3, Wii U, Xbox One and an Xbox 360. All connected to it with games associated to them to show his love for gaming as that small area is a messy compared to the rest of the neat, clean, organized room and they were a 3DS and Vita on the table as well.
It also seemed like he had a PS2 and Gamecube nested off to the side as well. He's a tried and true gamer that he is. Which Hibari's eyes sparkled at the sight.
Other than those items placed around the room saved for a few posters of strange blue animal with white gloves and red shoes and other anime goodies it was basically a carbon copy of the girls' dorms. Except, the extra space all around the room. There were other bedrooms but they were practically empty leaving this the only room in the entire boys' dorm in use.
Hibari practically jumped for joy upon seeing the many game consoles located in the one area of the room as the pink-haired cutie dashed over there without a second thought and starts checking out his library of collection. He seemed to love RPGs, Action, Adventure, and Platforming games the most but there were other genres mixed into the collection as well.
Yagyū lost her cool for a moment as she watched in horror at her younger year-mate decided to run off into the room without her say-so as she checked out the game collection. What if there was something indecent or dangerous about them regarding its content? To let Hibari out of her sight like that, how could she do that? She would punish the boy for having something like that if he did, but it's not his fault that they enter his room without permission. Or scold him for his hobbies and interests. That fault lies with a certain martial artist in the group which the eye-patched pigtail girl would gladly dish out.
Ikaruga finally recovered from the little stun that Katsuragi pulled by barging into an unfamiliar boy's room uninvited and her small blushing subsided as she gracefully steps into the boy's room. A mixture of feelings coursing through her head as she entered and surveyed the scene with utter awe. It was excited to enter inside a boy's room as she never done so before… except her older brother's room but that was a long time ago. And she hadn't been invited, oh dear, she felt so mischievous about this and wanted to dash out in embarrassment yet she is full of curiosity and wonder to explore a boy's room. Augh, she's the class rep! She shouldn't be doing this at all!
- Hmm… I wonder if he has any magazines around?- Katsuragi chimed casually as she strolled around the room looking between the shelves and other places of the room.
- Magazines? What are you talking about Katsu-nee?- the brunette girl perked up after looking at Sonic's book collection on the shelves. What an odd thing to say, but she can't shake the feeling that there was something laced with what Katsuragi said.
- Yeah, you know… heisa boy after all. He's got to have one lying around. - Katsuragi snickered gleeful to herself in a very evil manner as she started to check under the tatami floor boards.
- What are you…(gasp)!- Asuka covered her mouth as she finally understood what her Senpai is really saying. How could she say something like that? Sonic wasn't like that at all… right…? I mean, sure he was protective of his bags, they were private matters involved, but what if… it couldn't be? Did he really have something like that on him? No… no, she refused to believe that! Sonic is a good boy, but he does have some of those harem comedy ecchi manga in his collection…
Ikaruga seemed to come to the same thought process as Asuka as she looked absolutely livid by Katsuragi and narrowed her eyes at her fellow year-mate. - Katsuragi-san… how could you say something like that about our classmate? Judging by his actions in our classroom and the cleanliness of his room I believe he's a model student that's both proper and decent. Even if heisa boy, he's a gentleman nonetheless.-
- Pfft… you need to lighten up girls. Besides everyone has a few skeletons in the closet. Look at us. - Katsuragi rolled her eyes as she started digging around the boy's folded bed roll. - I bet he's hiding it inside his futon… let's see what he's got.-
Though Hibari is clueless at what Katsuragi and the other two were getting at as she and Yagyū joined up with Ikaruga and Asuka at the entrance of the room to leave as they have over stayed their welcome and they weren't invite nevertheless. If Sonic came in right now he might not forgive them for this intrusion and hurt their newfound relationship and trust with him.
- Katsuragi-san, you can't honestly expect…- Ikaruga began to argue with Katsuragi about her audacity of ransacking his bed for supposedmagazineshe might have until the blonde-haired squealed in delight.
- YES! Found them!-
WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!
No way… it couldn't be!? He ACTUALLY had something like that!?
Katsuragi pulled out the content hidden in the folded bedroll, as Yagyū covered Hibari's eyes as the pink-haired beauty rotated her arms around to flail about, to reveal all to see! And it was… a comedy novel?
- Whaaaaa-!? It's just a novel? With comedy?- Katsuragi pouted involuntarily at the discovery with her succinctly call. - I wanted to see if he had a magazine! Well we could always take a trip down the manga store and acquire a few volumes to read.-
The girls sighed with relief. For one that it wasn't a dirty magazine, though Hibari didn't know what was going on, and for the other they werereallyglad it wasn't a dirty magazine. The thought of their new classmate being a closet pervert would've left them devastating after getting to see how sweet he is, even though if they hardly knew him still. Well he is a boy and the thought hemightnot be interested in them seemed to disappoint them for some reason.
*RATTLE*
The sound of something rattling the frame of the shoji door could be heard outside as five pairs of breasts shake at the sudden noise fromoutsidethe room. The girls were not expecting someone toknockon the door, but there's no need for Sonic to do so at his own bedroom unless the girls were found out already? Or it could be…
- Sonic? Are you done with your nap yet?- Kiriya-sensei's muffled voice could be heard outside like a filter through the paper screen that the girls scrambled to find a place to hide in the confusion. However, a pair of brunette and pink collided into each other with their heads bumping in each other and falling back on their butt as the two of them cried out in pain. Katsuragi facepalmed herself and Yagyū shook her head at the display as Ikaruga covered her eyes and sighed.
Busted. Exposed. Found out.
From the hallway Kiriya deeply sighed as he heard two of his female students cringe in pain. - Alright, everyone get out.-
Kiriya slide open the door to the shock and surprise of the female students. Did he not think that havingfemalestudents inside amalestudent's room would raise some suspicious? Both Asuka and Hibari exchange glances with each other nervously and both looked up to their instructor with their sheepish grins. - Ah… hi Kiriya-sensei.-
The rest of the girls showed themselves from their hiding spots, each with their own expressions. Katsuragi scratched her nose and grins sheepishly, Ikaruga coughed into her hand with a slight blush on her cheeks, and Yagyū… just had a stoic and reserved expression as always.
- Not even a day here and he already has all five of you in his room. - Kiriya responded in a monotone voice causing some of the girls to blush, most presumingly Asuka, Hibari, and Ikaruga at their teacher's assumed context.
- Sensei… we can explain!- Ikaruga tried to explain the situation beforehand… only for an unexpected voice coming out from behind Kiriya.
- I'll say… why are you girls in my room?- their newest student emerged from behind Kiriya-sensei and looked at the girls with a very confused look in his eyes. With one eyebrow raised and the other slatted. The girls' dropped their jaws seeing the boy was with their teacher. That would explain why Kiriya would open the door without hesitance as he was checking who was in it. Not only that but their new male student had discovered they invaded his private living quarters without his consent! Their faces began to pale… this will not end well.
Interesting he seemed to change out of his Hanzo Academy clothes and into a different set of clothes. He is now wearing a blue sleeveless T-shirt, white gloves, blue baggy cargo pants and red sneakers. He looked very normal in his outfit and he matched quite nicely with his hair, though the girls will have to admire his looks at another time.
- Well… that is to say… we… um.-
The boy looked at them seriously with narrowed eyes. They were so screwed. Until he burst into a fit of laughter at their freaked out faced which turned dumbfounded. - Hahaha… if you wanted to visit me all you had to do was ask? And, yes, I enjoy reading comedy novels from time to time.-
- Wha…?! How did you know that?- the girls shrieked.
- We could hear you down the hallway. - the boy bemusingly replied with a half-amused half-knowing smirk. Cartoonish sweatdropped behind his head in all.
- Oh. - the girls bowed their heads down shamelessly with an embarrassing hue taken resident on their rosy cheeks. This was humiliating, they were discovered before they even knew it. - Sorry…-
- It's OK. - Sonic scratched the side of his face - Just let me know ahead of time, I'm still settling in. - The girls sighed in relief that he wasn't mad at them and forgave them for intruding into his room. He really is a sweet, good-natured, and considerate person.
- Ahem. - Kiriya cleared this throat to get everyone's attention. - Seeing how everyone is eager to learn more about our new student. I recommended a more…equitableoption by simply taking Sonic out into Asakusa City and the Kagurazaka Shopping District? To help him familiarize himself with the surroundings. As I recall, he has ventured around the district a few times with Asuka before, but still hasn't remember all the routes yet.-
- Ah, that sounds like an excellent idea Kiriya-sensei. - Asuka pressed her fingers together in utmost joy. - Sonic-kun hasn't really been to any places aside the area around my family's sushi store and the store itself since he got here.-
Grrrrooooowwwwwlllllll~!!!
Everyone looked at the young man as he rubbed his belly as he smirked sheepishly. - Hehehe… yeah, and I could get some grub as well. I'm famished!-
The girls giggled as he doesn't seem the least bit embarrassed.
-You know, I've wanted to try eating Ramen when I heard about how delicious it is. Eating the package bits is OK, but I want to eat the genuine traditional Ramen from its home country. - Sonic expressed himself with sparkled eyes as he mentioned this and entered into a dream-like trance thinking about it.
Katsuragi's ears perked up upon hearing that. - Ramen, you say?-
The blonde buxom vixen swung her arm around the young man's neck and pulled his head into her massive pillows as she purred at him. - So you like ramen, huh? You keep on getting better and better. Hehehe… don't worry I know the best place to get ramen!-
- Um… thanks… could you ease up a bit on the hug?- Sonic stuttered out as he tried to pry himself from his Senpai's iron-grip chokehold. As Katsuragi pulled him in even more as she enjoyed the boy's squirminess and just couldn't help herself. If this is what he's like with a little tease Katsuragi can't help to show him however-so-lovingly she can be and giggled evilly at the thought.
- Katsu-nee let him go!- Asuka yanked Sonic from Katsuragi's grip surprising the older student at the sudden outburst as she unconsciously pulled Sonic's face into her chest by mistake. - You'll suffocate him!-
- Are you sure you're no better?- Katsuragi pointed out with an index finger and smirked at her cute Kohai.
Asuka looked down to notice that Sonic's face was buried in her bosom and his face hot red and was stunned into silence as Asuka's face began to match her friend's color and lets out a scream. Both she and Sonic shyly looked away from each other… how could she do that all of a sudden?
Kiriya raised his brow at Asuka's sudden reaction. Was she jealous perhaps? It's true she knew him first and has become close to the boy in the yesterday or perhaps she just wanted to save Sonic from Katsuragi's harassment. Seeing as there's no need for him to be here the instructor quietly leaves the students to be on their own and grab a nice hot cup of coffee for the day. What his students do on their off hours is their business.
Katsuragi grinned mischievously as she wrapped her arm around the blue-haired youth. Her massive bust rubbing against his arm causing the boy to blush crazily again, as she pulled him away. - Come on Sonic-kun! We're burning daylight let's go grab some Ramen!- Then ran away with him before the young man could protest.
- Wha-!? Katsu-nee… bring him back here, um… I mean wait for us!- Asuka screamed out to her Senpai as she darted off after them leaving the three girls behind.
Sighing at the antics Ikaruga massaged her forehead and hurried along to make sure Katsuragi doesn't do anything indecent to their new classmate and Hibari and Yagyū hurry along as well.
Kiriya watched as his students went to spend time together. He turned around and a small smile appeared on his face. - It promises to be a very interesting time. Now, I think I should let her know about our new student. - the teacher went towards his office to send a letter to his eldest sdudent of this academy, and then call it a day.
Unknown place...
In the dense forest stood a tall, muscular woman with long, flowing black hair and reddish-brown eyes. She wears a tattered gakuran with a cap and metal epaulets, a rope belt and a pair of tengu-geta. She wraps her bosom in a sarashi, and her wrists with the bandages typical of open-hand fighters.
The woman was reading a letter that was sent with an arrow, which she holds in her right hand.
- New student, huh?... I will see for myself how much this student is worth. - the woman smirked and went to the academy. If what her teacher wrote about him, she wants to see for herself if it is true.
All right, new chapter is here! Sorry about it took so long. I had little time because of school, work after school, but that doesn't mean that will stop me from continuing the story.In the next chapter, Sonic will face Doudouji and meet the girls of Crimson Squad.In the future I plan to make some drawings for this story on DeviantArt, but I don't mind if someone else draws them too.
