(Someone's teaching me Japanese! YAY! )

Warning: Not really so much as a warning, but there's going to be TONS of Japanese words in here… heehee

'-'-'-'-'-'-

Sometimes, I wish that I didn't have almost every class with Dark. Just my luck…he's in my math class too. I think he's staring at me from the back of the classroom; good thing I sit in front and he sits in the back. Far back to be specific. A teacher with short white hair that came down to her shoulders and pale green eyes came in the room; I haven't seen her before. She seems really nice though.

"Ohaiyou! (Good morning!)," the new Math sensei said. "Hajimemashite! (Nice to meet you!)"

"Doozoyorushiku! (Nice to meet you too!)," the classroom responded. It makes me wonder why she speaks Japanese rather then teach math right now. I think she would make a good Japanese teacher.

"Nani o namae wa desu ka? (What's your name?)," a student said who was sitting in front of Dark. "I haven't seen you before. Are you a new teacher?"

Sensei smiled. "Hai! Watashi wa namae Towa desu! (My name is Towa!) But call me Sensei To - to as of right now if you want!" Then she started to laugh nervously. "I'm kind of new at doing this type of occupation, so can you please tell me where you left off in your math textbook?" No one said anything. "Is there something wrong?" She asked us.

"Iie (no)," a student from behind me said. "Our old Sensei didn't use the textbooks, so there wasn't any real reason to bring it anymore. Instead he gave us worksheets to do." (Same thing with me in my math class)

Sensei Towa sighed as she sat on her desk. "Tomorrow I want to see you all bring your math textbooks to school, wakata? (Understand?)"

"Hai!" the whole classroom said, scratch off Dark. No wonder he's failing almost every class I have with him. He's not even paying attention. He's just looking out the window! Wait…why am I looking in his direction!

The teacher sighed again. "Hm… Since you none of you have your textbooks, and since I forgot mine too… How about we do a couple of math equations?" I could tell she was going to have a hard time being the new teacher and all. Maybe I could help her sometime… The whole class moaned at the fact of doing math equations.

"Aww, come on! I'll go easy on you!" So she started to write simple equations like what does 2 plus 2 equal, and what does 3 times 2 equal. But soon it got harder as the numbers increased, so she gave us about the whole class period to finish fifty math problems.

Thirty minutes passed by, and I'm halfway done. Then I heard some loud snoring. Just as I expected, Dark was sleeping.

"Mr. Mousy!" the teacher shouted while slamming her ruler on his desk. "Wake up!"

Dark immediately jumped up from his desk and fell back to the floor. The class laughed at him, excluding Sensei and myself. Dark looked up at her, looking pretty mad. "Aww, I was having a nice dream too…"

She slammed the ruler on his desk again. I was trying to back away from her; she's really scary. I think I could see her horns… "You can go home and yume (dream) all you like!" Then she practically stomped her way back to her desk. "So is anyone done?" Now she was looking all nice, happy, and angelic. I sweat dropped, in fact, I think the whole class did.

The class was about to end, and still no one finished the class project we had to do. I was staring at Dark again. I'm kind of surprised that he even did the work. Before I knew it, I was done. Yay! I handed in the paper to Sensei Towa. "Here you go!"

She smiled at me. "Arigatou gozaimasu.(Thank you.) You may return to your seat." While I did so, I could tell that everyone else in the class was glaring at me. What did I do wrong now? I mentally cried to myself. Finally the class bell rang. I saw the younger Harada-san walking over to me.

"Konnchiwa, Niwa-kun!" she said. "Can I ask you a question, since you did do well on your English test?"

"Sure!" I think I could tell where this was going.

"Can you be my tutor today?" she suddenly blurted out.

…Eh? "Dame (No can do) Harada-san. I don't know. I mean I have to help my kaa-san (mom) around the house today and there's shopping to do…"

"ONEGAI! (I beg of you!)" She was begging. I couldn't say 'no' to her after what she got in English. I think she was about to cry! AHH!

"Okay, I will!"

"Ii! (I'm so glad!)" She hugged me really tightly. Can't breathe… need air…

"Risa, hayaku! (Hurry up!) You're going to be late for your next class!" the older Harada-san shouted.

"I will! I was asking Daisuke to be my tutor for today!" With that she smiled and ran to her next class.

Harada-san came up to me. "I think it was a bad idea to let Risa use you like that. I mean being her tutor and all."

I sighed. "I know, but who knows it might work!"

She looked at me again. "Alright, but you asked for it…" We came to a fork in the hallway, and we went out separate ways for now. Then I saw it again. Masaka! (It can't be!) But I was right. Guess who it was. Hai, Dark was picking on that same kid from lunch. Why isn't anyone doing anything? Oh right, he's the bully.

"Leave me alone! I didn't do anything to you!" the younger boy said. Doesn't the bully ever stop picking on other people?

"As soon as you pay your fees! I'm not going to leave you alone until you do!" I saw Dark was opening a locker. He's not going to lock him in there is he! "Now here's your last chance before I shove you in your own locker. What's your choice gonna be?" This is why I hate it when I'm right.

"Hey! I thought I told you to leave him alone!" I shouted without even knowing it. I covered my mouth quickly. Kuso (Damnit). No place to hide now. Maybe I can open one of these lockers and hide in there. That's no good.

I saw Dark loosen his grip on his prey and let him go. I think the boy said thanks to me before he ran off. Better save that for later when Dark's done beating me up. Speaking of which, he's coming right toward me! Should I run again? No, that would make it worse. AHH! What am I going to do now!

"You're going to pay for that…," he whispered while passing right by me. Nani? That's odd. I thought he was going to beat me here and now. Wait, does that mean he's going to kill me later? Great… better write my will now. The second bell rang for my next class. AHH! I'm going to be late!

Gym, Science, and French. I could see Dark staring at me in class and stalking me in the hallways. Well of course he is… he's in five of my classes! Why doesn't Dark just kill me now, rather then make me wait for my inevitable death?

The last class, Science, was over. Which means school has ended, well for today at least. I looked around in every direction. No sign of Dark. My life is saved! I think.

"Niwa-kun!" I heard a familiar voice call my name. It's the younger Harada-san. "You did remember the yakusoku (promise) right? You being my tutor and all!"

"Hai!" I walked home with her to my house. Shikashi (However) I think someone's following us. What is Dark planning to do now? Killing me at my own home?

I got to my house. "I'm home kaa-san!" I shouted while opening the door for Harada-san.

"Dai-chan!" my mom said through the door to the kitchen. "DAI-CHAN! I didn't know you brought home a tomodachi! (Friend!) Konnchiwa! Watashi wa namae Emiko desu!"

I sighed once more. "Kaa-san, its Harada-san!"

"Oh my, it's been a while since I saw you that I thought you were a different person!" Mom said cheerfully. "In this case I should bake cookies!" With that she went back to the kitchen.

Harada-san giggled. "I see your mom hasn't changed a bit…"

Yeah, same old mom. "Come on, let's get the tutoring started."

"HAI!"

I tried to teach Harada-san the basics of math first, since she was failing it. "And that's how you get the answer! Wataka? (Understand?)"

"Hai… hai…" I could tell she was getting really bored. This is going to take a while. Now that I think about it, Harada-san wasn't doing very well in school as of right now. What would help Harada-san listen in school better? Then she fell asleep. Yeah, this is going to take a LONG while. The bell rang.

"Dai-chan, can you please get the door for me?"

"Okay mom!" I opened the door, and guess who was on the doorsteps of my house. "Dark, what are you doing here?"

He smirked at me. "Simple, didn't I say you'll pay?"

I gulped. "Yeah, so what are you going to do about it?"

"You're going to be my tutor, baka."

Silence.

"NANI? I can't do that, I have another-"

Dark pulled on my school shirt collar. Kuso…

"Look, we can do this the hard way or the easy way… I could punch you in the face right now, or you could just be my tutor…"

"I think I'll take the easy way…"

He dropped me back on the ground.

"Good…" He simply walked inside after I closed the front door.

"Dai-chan! Who was at the door?" My mom asked.

"Tomodachi… A tomodachi…" I replied back.

"Really? I should bake more cookies then!" She whistled to a merry tune.

Not. My. Day.
