June 1st 2060 - Neo Domino Academy - Chemistry Room 6- AE

*Pit pat Pit Pat*

The sound of the rain hitting down on the ground nearly shocked the city at its core. Everyone had expected a sunny day on the first day of summer but instead they got a large drizzle of rain that draped over the city like a wet blanket.

After a short weekend, Reishi had gone back to school. The inside of the classroom was decadent with depressed and needy students who were tired of their boring everyday lives lining the desks of the lab. They all sat in the chemistry classroom with vulgar looks on their faces.

Sakoshi: Keep your hands on the beaker everyone!

Sakoshi: -And Be sure to mix the zinc with the vinegar brightly! You Don't want the beaker to overflow or worse….

The teacher- Kaido Sakoshi was at the front. He was instructing the class on a short chemistry lecture and experiment. Reishi and Shima were partners for the day and were sitting by each other.

Shima: God, I hate this class! Sakoshi is such a degenerate.

Reishi: ….You're not wrong.

Sakoshi: -And make sure you guys stroke the beaker nice and sensually! The chemicals react nicely to feelings….. Or something.

He said.

Sakoshi: I'll check your vinegar in 4 minutes.

Sakoshi Lamented. The debauched teacher returned to the front of the classroom where he turned on his computer which spouted lewd sounds and illustrious moans.

Reishi: Welp, We better get started.

Shima: RIght. First off, We need a base chemical. Reishi will you pour some water into the beaker?

Reishi: Yeah sure.

Reishi grabbed the water bottle from underneath the lab desk and poured it calmly into the glass object known as a beaker.

Shima: Next, it needs to be fermented. So lets add some ethanol!

The girl's looked through the cabinet at the bottom their desk. A green bottle covered in dust was there. It read: Ethanol.

Shima: Got it!

Reishi: Be careful Shima, I hear that pure ethanol is pretty dangerous…

Shima: I know that, Baka….

The tsundere said.

She then poured the toxic chemical into the beaker and sighed a relief.

Shima: Vinegar is known for its briny taste, right? We should add Sodium Chloride next.

Reishi: Sodium Chloride? You mean salt?

Shima: That's what I said - Sodium Chloride.

Reishi: No shima, you said sodium chloride. Yes it's the same as salt, but you could've just said salt instead. Everyone in this school knows you're a genius shima, you don't need to say overly large words to sound more intelligent. If anything, calling simplistic objects by their scientific name ironically makes you seem less intelligent and more pompous. I know you're smart enough to be better than this.

Shima: ….!

Shima was at a loss for words.

Shima: U-Umm. I'm sorry?

Reishi: No! I'm sorry, Shima. Didn't mean to go on a rant! I'm just a little stressed out.

Shima: What's wrong?

Reishi: I'm worried about hattori…

Shima: She'll be fine. Her mother's taking care of her.

Reishi: Nah, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the fact that hattori is gonna miss more school. I'm pretty sure she's already failing.

Shima: Meh. Even if she was in school, I doubt it would make a difference. Girl is as dumb as a bag of rocks.

Reishi: Shima!

Shima: What? You know it's true.

Reishi: I know but….

Shima: Don't worry about her, Reishi. Hattori's somehow made it to the 10th level of school, Pretty sure she weasel her way to a passing grade again.

Shima exclaimed as she began to finish the batch of vinegar they had concocted up. The vinegar smelled of acid and of fine wine as its smell permeated throughout the room.

Sakoshi: Ok! Time's up! I'm coming~

The teacher got up from his lubricant and began to come around to students desks. He walked around and tasted the vinegar from each beaker. Each time, he licked the inside of the beaker and either said: "Good." Or "Meh." If he said good, it would be followed by a tap on the backside.

After a couple rounds of this; he made his way to reishi and shima's desk.

Sakoshi: Hamami-San, Kind of cliche to wear a labcoat in this class, Don't you think? Hmmm?

Shima: This is what I always wear….

Sakoshi: I know, btu I liked you better in that cheerleader outfit.

Shima: Of course you would….

Shima snarled.

Sakoshi: Anyway, Lets have a look at what you two concocted shall we?

He looked at Reishi and shima's beaker which was simmering brightly. He put his finger into the beaker and pulled it out quickly.

Sakoshi: *Lick Lick Lick*

He suggestively tongued the inside of the glass, licking it from side to side with his long sexy tongue.

Shima: …

Reishi: ...

Sakoshi: Mmmph! tastes Great, you two! Good job!

Sakoshi prepared to slap reishi's behind, But she quickly moved her body to the side and dodged the hand-slap.

Sakoshi: Woah! Cool dodge, Sakamoto.

Reishi: Whatever, Creep.

Reishi mumbled under her breath.

Sakoshi: If you keep those reflexes up, you might be able to dodge the many guys who are going to charm you later in life.

Reishi: …?

Sakoshi: Anyway, Remember what you have to do today, Hamami-Chan.

He chortled.

Shima:...

Sakoshi: Silence? That's not like you... Ah well.

Sakoshi said as he drank the rest of the vinegar and burped loudly.
Reishi and shima had no doubt of there hate for and his class. They doubted the hope that would come from attending his class but still went because they had to. If hope was a dagger, it sure could stab Deeply.

1 Hour Later...

It was lunch time at Neo domino Academy.

A smell of food circulated throughout the academy as the four main classes began to chow down. The academy like most japanese schools did not have a lunch room but rather had lunch in their regular classes. Reishi was in her favorite professor's class. Where she sat down and waited for the lunch carts to come.

Reishi: (...)

On a sheet of paper, she was drawing something…. A person. He had blue hair and round glasses. Similar to someone she had met before…

Akihiko: Ah, Reishi.

Reishi: Yes professor?

Akihiko had approached her without her noticing. She quickly covered up the sheet of paper with another notebook.

Akihiko: You are great friends with Shimamura, correct?

Reishi: Y-Yes.

Akihiko: where is she? She usually doesn't miss class like this….

Reishi: Ah, Um…. She being disciplined at the moment, sir.

She responded with an awkward context.

Akihiko: Strange. She's usually not a troublemaker.

He said.

Reishi: Ah well.

Akihiko: I'll leave you to it then. Remember, The homework is on the net today.

Reishi: "On the net?"

Akihiko: Ah. Its something we said back in the day. I meant it's on the kaiba-network.

Akihiko shook his head.

Akihiko: Growing up in the 2020s and 30's has made me a bit out of touch with you kids.

Reishi: You know sometimes I forget that you're kind of old…. Professor Akihiko.

Reishi: You act kind of young in a way. Your always looking at stuff with an optimistic point of view but at the same time viewing it from the philosophical side just like a young intellectual.

Akihiko: Heh. I don't know if that's a compliment or not. - But thank you miss reishi.

Reishi: Of course, professor.

He said and walked away.

Reishi: …..

Reishi bemused, returned to her drawing. Her pencil drew the lines between his eyes and gave the boy some ruffles in between his eyes and glorious nose. She also dotting his eyes with sparkles and lining his ears with swirls. The drawing now seemed complete to her, although she questioned why she drew it in the first place.

Woman: Itadakimasu!

A woman called out from outside of the classroom. Her chant signified that lunch had come to the floor and that the lunch cart was coming into the classroom. The lunch cart was full of japanese delicacies like sushi,rice,Nimono,Noodles and tempura.

Akihiko: The lunch cart is coming everyone! Please try to clear your desks!

Akihiko ordered. The students followed his order and cleared their desks in preparation of the delicious and yummy meals that awaited.

*Creek*

The door opened and a black and brown cart came into the doorway. It was pushed by a girl wearing a cheerleader outfit with breasts that filled them out.

Reishi: S-Shima!

Shima: *Grumble*

Shima had an angry scowl on her face as she went around passing around the food students demands. Occasionally she would get a flirtatious comment from an opportunistic boy. She eventually came around to reishi's desk.

Shima: ….

Reishi: Shima…. Didn't I tell you to stand up to sakoshi?

Shima: I couldn't! He threatened to fail me if I didn't put on this damn perverted outfit!

Reishi: Shima! You can't let sakoshi walk all over you!

Shima: I know but... He's just too imposing-

Reishi: He is scum! To let him just have his way is wrong!

Reishi exclaimed heavily as shima put her head down.

Reishi: ugh, I swear one day I'll take care of him for you.

Shima: You don't need to protect me, reishi…

Reishi: Shima, You are my friend. -and I do feel a personal need to shield you from sakoshi.

Shima: Now you're starting to sound a bit too motherly….

Shima blushed and changed the subject….

Shima: Hurry up and order something from this cart so I can get out of this thing….

Reishi: uh.,... Right….

Reishi relented.

Reishi: I think I will have some sushi and tea, please…

Shima: No need to be so formal.

Shima bent over and reached into the cart. Her skirt barely covered her bottom, so while she was bending her panties were on full display to reishi, who nervously looked away….

Reishi: ….

Shima: Something wrong?

Reishi: N-Nope!

After digging around for a couple of seconds, shima got back up and had a plate of sushi in one hand and a cup of steaming tea in the other.

Shima: here we are-

Shima: -What is that?

Shima noticed the drawing on reishi desk.

Reishi: That is, um…

Shima: You trying your hand at drawing now, reishi? First Music, then dueling and now this! Do you have to upstage everyone?

She said, half-jokingly.

Reishi: N-No! I just wanted to try it. I'm trying to master it or anything.

Shima: Sheesh… you are such a show-off…

Shima sighed and put the rice and sushi reishi had requested on her desk.

Shima: So, Like I asked, What's on the drawing?

Reishi: Its um…..

Reishi struggled and took a sip from her tea.

Reishi: Well…. A couple weeks ago, I met a boy at the festival after hattori fell.

Shima: Was this after I uh…. Stormed out?

Reishi: ….Yeah.

Reishi explained how she and Arthur had connected through the encounter at the restaurant and her finding his cousin's dog.

Reishi: -And so after that, He asked me to go on a date with him. I drew this because I'm a bit nervous.

Shima: Reishi, You ol' dog.

Reishi: Huh?!

Shima: All of these years of celibacy and now you're going on a date? Yeesh.

Reishi; W-Well I couldn't just say no….

Reishi responded.

Shima: Don't get me wrong though, I think its good that your finally getting a boyfriend.

Reishi: He's not my boyfriend! We're just going out to get to know each other.

Shima: Righhhhhttttttt~

Reishi: I swear it's just platonic.

Shima: No need to get so defensive reishi, I'm a tad bit jealous. Boys never seem to want to hang out with me…

Reishi: Maybe because you treat men as experimentees?

Shima: Hah! I guess so.

Shima cackled.

Shima: Well, Good luck on your date. I have still have 8 more classrooms to go…

Reishi: Thanks, See ya, Shima.

Shima bowed and pushed the cart out the room. Her hips swaying side to side as she did. Reishi wondered what she was going to do once the day of the date had come. Would her hope come through and make the date a great one? Or would a despotic feeling take over? Only time would tell…..
