Let us give her a welcome party ...
Brrrr!
As if being electrocuted, Kazuha suddenly shuddered, the fine hairs on the nape of her neck stood up.
"What's wrong, Kazuha?" Heiji asked as he raised an eyebrow when he saw Kazuha looking around in confusion.
"Huh? Ah, uh ... I don't understand either? Suddenly I get goosebumps? Hiisshh!" She replied as she began rubbing the back of her neck while shuddering.
Hearing her answer, Heiji's lips gave a proud smile, or rather, a cocky grin.
"Heh, of course! You're walking alongside with this handsome and popular Prince Heiji Hattori! Not every girls get the chance, you know? You should thank me!".
Kazuha glanced at him in disgust before finally shaking her head in a disdainful way. "Haish! Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk ... How lucky I am. Thank you!", she said sarcastically, then as usual, she began walking ahead of Heiji, made that black-skinned prince groan in annoyance.
Again? She left him again?
He couldn't believe this! Has it become a kind of her bad habit, to behave like that?
She's such a pain in ass! She ...
However, Heiji did not continue his words when suddenly Kazuha turned and looked at him with an annoyed face but looked adorable to him. "Why are you walking so slowly, Mister Prince? Your legs are longer than mine, so do please hurry up! I don't want to come late on my first day of school, that gives me a bad impression!".
Heiji rolled his eyes.
'Hmph! We're already late, Your Majesty, Troublesome Princess!'.
At first he wanted to say that, but eventually he didn't, because his eyes suddenly caught a back figure that looked familiar to him, walking confidently while spreading his charm especially at the girls around him. Seriously, there are people who are that confident! Heiji thought irritably without realizing that he himself was also one of those people.
Heiji could conclude easily without anyone needing to tell him that the guy who was spreading charm was none other than a pervert who was trying to flirt with Kazuha earlier, Heiji hurriedly followed Kazuha and pulled her to walk right next to him.
Upset because she was suddenly pulled back, even slightly rude by Heiji, as if she's a thing, Kazuha had just glanced annoyed at him and prepared to insinuate him hotly, when she realized that Heiji was already staring at something that was now in front of them. His gaze even tends to be, uh ... violent, a mixture of annoyance and alertness. Wait, did she just hear him growl faintly? Oh yes, he did.
"What now? A group of mice passing by?" Her intentions were only sarcastic insinuations, but Kazuha didn't expect it when Heiji answered with her a serious tone and equally serious face too.
"More precisely, a thief rat!".
Exhaling in exasperation, Kazuha only shook her head when she realized who was in front of her.
Just like Heiji, just by looking at his back, Kazuha spontaneously knew who he was.
The cheeky man who this morning flirted with her. It looks like he's looking around in confusion, maybe looking for where the class is.
No wonder Heiji is angry now, even though Kazuha also didn't know why he had to be angry. But, nevermind. She was, well, actually happy if Heiji was angry too, which meant she didn't need to face him.
"Is that ...?"
Instead of answering, suddenly and unexpectedly, Heiji's hand grip on hers slightly tightened.
Only when Kazuha winced, Heiji realized that he was squeezing Kazuha's hand a little tighter than he meant to be, then he hurriedly loosened his hold on her, even though he didn't let go.
"Oh! He is ..."
Heiji had not had time to finish his sentence, when the annoying boy, Heiji called him that way, instead turned his head and, unfortunately, immediately faced them. There's no time to hide or avoid him.
"Aahh! Hi, you guys!" The boy, annoyingly, smiled and waved his hand as he saw the faces he familiar with. How strange, for Heiji, everything he did was annoying. Really, really annoying.
Unfortunately, the boy is not a shaman or psychic, he could not read Heiji's mind. With confidence and a slightly excessive smile he walked towards them.
"Thank God we met here! Apparently I'm lost, hahaha ..."
Heiji didn't know what was funny about his words which made him laugh, while Kazuha winced, slightly uncomfortable.
"So, ahem, I mean, can you help me find where my class is? I don't want to be late on my first day ..."
Heiji raised an eyebrow.
What? What did he just say?
Does he not realize who he is talking to?
"Do you want to di ..."
Kazuha hurriedly elbowed him.
"Ah, I'm sorry, but we can't help you! You see, this is also my first day at this school, I don't know my class either. And besides ..." She sighed dramatically "Looks like we're already too late!".
Either he is insensitive, or just pretends to be stupid, that boy instead casually answers while scratching his head, making Heiji want to spread lice in his hair.
"Is that so? Well, but I guess, I still should go with you guys. After all, at least you're going to a class, aren't you? I can ask the teacher in that class or ..." He held his chin, pretending to think, before finally pointing at Kazuha while glancing flirty "Who knows we might be in the same class, right? Hehehehehe ..."
If he's not a prince who had to maintain his self-image, Heiji might have thrown his bag at those disgusting face.
However, Heiji didn't miss to notice, that apparently Kazuha also seemed annoyed at him. She repeatedly blew her bangs.
Strangely, it made him a little calm ... and happy.
Suddenly thrilled with excitement, before he giggled, Heiji hurriedly 'saved' his face and pride.
"Come on, Kazuha! We have to hurry to class, before we're getting even more late!" Without looking back at the annoying boy, Heiji took Kazuha's hand, hurriedly wanting to get away as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, the boy was not only annoying, but apparently too, shameless. With both hands in his pocket, he walked casually following the royals, even humming with whistling.
"Hiiihhh! He's really annoying! Should I hit him once ...?" Heiji actually grumbled to himself, but Kazuha who heard him immediately squeezed his hand, asking for his attention.
"Don't mind him! Say, is the class still far away? You can still be patient, right?".
Heiji sighed. Since the one who asked was Kazuha, so, yeah, of course he would try to be patient, be extra patient.
When they finally reached the door of their classroom, Heiji exhaled with relief.
Finally!
But unfortunately he only felt relieved for a few seconds, because after that ...
"Aahh! I know following you guys is the right decision. Look! It turns out we are the same class! See?". The annoying boy who turned out to be named Okita Soshi, pointed right at his name which was posted on a piece of paper glued on the door of their class, under Kazuha's name.
And that was one of the most annoying moments in Prince Heiji Hattori's life.
Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there.
Since entering class earlier, Prince Heiji's mood became really bad. But if his previous frustration was for Okita only, now it has changed targets, still to Okita and Kazuha.
Excuse me? You still ask what the reason is?
What else?!
Because that ahou, named Kazuha, chose to sit in the back row of the empty seats, and not surprisingly, Okita immediately sat next to her. Grrrr ...
And he, since he's Prince Heiji, he sat in the front row of seats, surrounded by the most beautiful girls in his class, even in the school, which he usually enjoyed very much, now he's not comfortable. It feels like, his body and brain, want to always turn toward the back of the class.
Plus, the smell around him ... Oh Dear God! Are they usually really this fragrant? Or did they take a bath with perfume today? Geez! He got dizzy!
While his head was dizzy, still added his ears suddenly became extra sharp, like a ninja. He could faintly hear that crazy Okita endlessly babbling with Kazuha, since after the two of them introduced themselves in front of the class. He wondered what they were talking about? Why doesn't he stop talking?
Hhhh! No, no! He can't take it anymore!
"Sensei!" Suddenly and surprisingly, Prince Heiji raised his hand, calling for the teacher, which also surprised the whole class.
"Uh, yes, Sir?".
Hearing this, Kazuha snorted softly.
Hhhh ... This Prince Heiji is really ...
What she meant was, in this school, he's the student. So it should be he who respects the teachers, regardless of his title as prince.
"Sensei, I want to change seats. The smell is really stinging here and my head is getting dizzy so I want to move as far as possible from here" He pretended to look around the class, totally ignoring the shocked faces of his fan girls. "Ah, I know! How about I just move to the back row ..."
Actually, the poor teacher was also confused, so he couldn't immediately answer. Isn't the prince himself who sets his seat in the front row and surrounded by girls?And there have never been any problems or protests before, so why now ...
But before the teacher had a chance to make a decision, which was not really necessary, Kazuha did not waste this opportunity.
Heiji wants to move to the back seat? What a coincidence as well as luck! She really could not stand it anymore with her 'new friend' who didn't stop blabbering.
"Sensei! Then, let me switch seats with him! Him ... Ah! His Highness Prince Hattori!".
Extremely shocked and unexpecting, Heiji even involuntarily staggered backwards, while Kazuha's grin was only returned by dumbfounded faces in her class and annoyed twitch in Heiji's temple, as soon as his brain managed to digest what was happening.
What-the-heck? Did Kazuha just ...?
The girl he meant suddenly was right in front of his face, already carrying her bag.
Wait, she even packed? But, when?
Heiji was just about to scold her, when Kazuha instead sweetly whispered, "Thank you for offering to swap seats, Heiji. I can't stand it anymore. He's so fussy!" With one swift and subtle move, Kazuha moved her head back, where Okita was sitting, now with a slight frown.
Not knowing what to answer, Heiji took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
He's a ladykiller, doesn't he? Then why in the world, this young lady is so insensitive. Ugh! So, so frustrating!
Unless he wanted to embarrass Kazuha, then he had no choice but to switch places with her and sit next to her, that annoying boy. Well, besides, Kazuha did thank him, because she thought he was doing it because he wanted to help her, so ...
Nodding once to answer her, Heiji then started packing his books and stationery without saying anything else, shouldered his bag and walked heavily toward the chair in the back row to his new seatmate, praying he won't have nightmares tonight.
Yes, Prince Heiji has just been hit by a second strike that day.
Two blows apparently still isn't enough.
At history class, Mr. Satou, one of the most killer teachers, immediately gave a pop quiz, despite of the students protests, if that could be called a pop quiz. More precisely it's an impromptu little test. He's widely known to be cruel and happy to see when his students were confused about answering questions from the impromptu exam.
One thing to be thankful for, this annoying Okita hasn't opened his mouth at all since Heiji moved to sit next to him.
Right, back to this damned exam.
Heiji himself, even though he was a Japanese prince, but he didn't really like history lessons. He wasn't even born at that time, for goodness sake! So it wasn't his fault that he didn't know why Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi ...
Kenshin ...
Heiji's stomach suddenly felt heartburn while reading the name, even though it was written with a different kanji.
Spontaneously he looked up at the ponytailed girl who sat far in front of him where the girl seems to be daydreaming, and unfortunately, Mr. Satou realized that. With an evil grin, the teacher walks slowly toward the student, like a predator ready to pounce on his prey.
"Daydreaming, are you?" He deliberately spoke softly, to frighten, even though his voice was horribly shrill.
The other students, they'll surely turn pale and freeze in fear. But Kazuha, with her innocent face, calmly turned towards the killer teacher. "Oh, yes. I'm sorry, Sir. I was daydreaming".
Mr. Satou's grin widened, along with Heiji's fan girls.
Gotcha!
You'll be dead this time!
Inwardly, simultaneously both Mr. Satou and Heiji's fan girls think the same thing, even though they express it through different words.
"That's not the problem, young lady! Don't you have a test you have to do instead of daydreaming? That's why I don't like foreign students, they don't respect ... Hmm? Did you just mumble something?".
"I said I'm done!".
Even though her voice was flat, she said it with confidence, so spontaneously stunned Mr. Satou.
Trying to save his pride, Mr. Satou cleared his throat, to cover up the sudden nervousness.
"Where? Let me check your paper! There's no way you can finish it that fast! You must be just making up the answe ..." Satou couldn't believe what he was reading. Not only does she fill all of the questions with the right answers, even her writing is also very neat and beautiful, almost like a neat cursive kanji letters, as if typed on a computer.
"Well, Sir?".
"Ah, um ... Yes, it ... It seems like you did complete the test well ..."
"Then, may I wait outside the classroom? You didn't let me daydream here ..."
"Do as your please!" Satou returned to his haughty attitude. He's not willing because of this little girl, he lost his image as a killer teacher who was feared by the students!
Kazuha retracted her words about students having to respect their teachers.
If the teacher is the type to abuse their position like Mr. Satou then ... Never mind, this time she relented. Anyway, the important thing is she can immediately leave the classroom for a moment to breathe fresh air.
Seeing Kazuha walking towards the door, Heiji became agitated himself.
Damn it! Just one more question then he too is finished! Although for other questions, whether he answers right or wrong, he relied on his brain. 'So now, think, you brain! Give me the answer to this question!' Silently, Heiji commanded his brain to exert all its abilities.
Alas. The more Kazuha approached the door, the more Heiji couldn't think anymore.
'Aaah ... Well, hmph. Leave it blank without an answer, then. It's not his fault, after all. It is indeed Mr. Satou's fault who gave an impromptu test, he hasn't studied yet!'.
Heiji then stood up from his seat. The sound of the feet of the chair rubbing against the floor, re-seizing the attention of the whole class, including Kazuha, who immediately stopped walking and turned towards him.
"Sensei!" Heiji walked forward, was about to hand over the paper to Mr. Satou, "I'm done too, so let me also go out of class to get some fresh air! Wow, by the way you have gone too far, Satou Sensei! Every time you always give us an impromptu test. Did you really do it on purpose? Don't make me report you later as a teacher who likes to abuse your position!" Satou Sensei was wide-eyed when he was too shocked to hear the 'threat' from the Prince, and could only gasp without sound, like a fish.
Without saying anything else and without waiting for Mr. Satou's answer, Heiji immediately walked across the room to the door. When he met with Kazuha at the door, he winked at her. "Come on! I'll give you a tour of the school for free!".
"So, this is where we usually exercise, run around the field. Then at the other end, there's an indoor sports hall. There's a basketball court, badminton court, ah, and even an indoor pool. You know, the girls here are usually spoiled, when they swim they don't want their skin to get sunburned, so they are the ones who whine for an indoor pool".
"Ooo, why am I not surprised?".
Prince Heiji giggled, as if what Kazuha said was hilarious. "Yes, you're right. Looks like you're the only girl I know who isn't spoiled. Even if you have to swim in the middle of the desert, you'll still do it, right?".
Kazuha raised an eyebrow "Hmm ... I guess for that, I'll think again. Isn't that the same as boiling myself alive?".
Heiji increasingly chuckled, making Kazuha stunned and grimaced a little and then shook her head. Hhhh ... It would be better if she didn't know what Heiji is currently thinking until he got out of control like that.
"Ahah ... Hah ... Hhh ..." Heiji tried to control himself again from his laughter then he cleared his throat. "E-erhm ... Where were we? Ah, okay, let's continue. That building, you see? That is the kendo training gym. You must already know what kendo is, don't you? " At this, Kazuha turned to look at him, because. Heiji's voice suddenly became arrogant.
Seeing Kazuha catching the clues he gave, Heiji became more and more boastful "And do you know, who is the Captain of Kendo, the pride of this school? Me!". He pointed at himself with his thumb, in a pretentious manner.
"Oh, really? You are the captain of Kendo Club?".
Heiji's back suddenly turned cold. 'E-eikh ... Isn't this voice ...?'.
Kazuha peered over Heiji's shoulder. "Oh, it's you? Did you finish the test too?".
Heiji turned to confirm his suspicions. And sure enough, the owner of that voice was that damned Okita boy.
"Well, of course. I'm quite good at history. Pretty good at guessing, I mean, hehehe ... Back to the Kendo captain's matter earlier. What a coincidence, I was also a Kendo's captain in old my school!".
Okita now smiled mockingly "If so, how about we try each other's abilities, then?".
Hearing himself being challenged before his own eyes and worse, in front of her, Heiji clenched his fists tightly while Kazuha spontaneously glanced at him worriedly.
How dare this impudent child challenge him! In kendo matters anyway, where Heiji is really good at. Does he really want to die?
But apparently, Okita really dig his own grave. He still wasn't finished with his words.
"That and ... The prestigious position as captain of Kendo in this school? Your Majesty ..."
