Lesson Three: When You Dance, Your Moves Are Everything
"Now that you're done with hip hop, pop and rap, let's try some partner dance." Saeko said as she stopped the music and walked to Hinata. "I'm sure this will be the most useful one - after all you have to dance in all the parties where your husband is invited to." the woman informed.
She helped Hinata to find the right hand positions - as he was dancing the female part his left hand was on Saeko's shoulder and his right arm was resting on top of Saeko's arm. Finally Saeko slipped her free hand to Hinata's lower back - closer to the hip, actually - which made the boy to jump in surprise.
"Oi, don't dare to do that when you dance with your husband." Saeko smirked, making Hinata blush hard. He wasn't afraid of being touched to hip, the sudden move was completely unexpected. He hadn't waited for it so of course if took him off guard - it was clear that he would get surprised.
"Okay, first let's try some moves without music." Saeko led the younger boy. Her teaching and clear explanation helped, but in the end the tempo and moves were too complicated for the beginner. He managed to step on top of Saeko's feet almost every single time.
"I'm so sorry." the ginger-bush apologized to the woman who had her feet completely trodden. Saeko shook it off with a painful smirk. Well, almost did.
"Don't worry about me. You should be more worried about your dear husband who most likely will be very angry to have his feet being trodden by you." Saeko said casually when walking to turn on the music. She then returned to Hinata's side.
Hinata gulped loudly. He really needed to learn how to dance, or Kageyama would end him.

Lesson Four: How Would You React In This Situation?
"Your boyfriend is two-timing you with your best friend."
"Ho- Ho- How could you do this to me!"
"TOO WEAK! Put more feeling into it. Try to imagine yourself in those shoes! And don't forget to kick and punch him will all of your power. She too deserves to have a good bitch-slap, so much for a best friend." Saeko yelled at Hinata for being a weak hearted.
The orange-head sighed in desperation. So far he had somehow understood the reason for each lesson, but this was just insane. Why he had to learn the girly way to react in different situations? Could they just spare the trouble? This was just meaningless.
"You're going to marry a completely unknown man. What do answer after the priest asks you if you want to marry him?" Saeko then continued. They had continued doing to for almost two hours, and so far Saeko had approved only two or three of his answers.
The situation seemed familiar to Hinata. Somehow, the words once again slipped away. "By any means no..."
Before he could even try to correct himself to "I do", Saeko was already laughing her ass off while trying her best to stay on the chair. "Truly, that was the best answer any woman could say." she told, drying her wet eyes. After that she huffed for the air to calm herself down. "I think we're done for today."
Hinata sighed of relief. Finally one of his answers was approved... but then it hit him. The boy's eyes widened and he stared at Saeko with pale face and small pupils.
His answer back then had been girly?
(Most likely not, since Saeko was only playing around with Hinata...)
Kiyoko Lessons - The Perfectionist
Lesson One: Don't Underestimate Japanese Dance
It was agreed that Hinata would meet with Kiyoko that day. He waited at the appointed spot - under a clock tower at Akairo plaza - for the older woman to arrive. He felt uneasy, wearing only skirt and t-shirt in public and being seen by others. He wanted Kiyoko to arrive soon so that they could leave the place.
Soon Hinata could sigh of relief as he spotted Kiyoko walking towards him. Unlike the other times when he sad seen the girl wearing casual clothes, Kiyoko was clothed like a shrine-maiden. She was wearing a red hakama and a white haori. Her hair was tied up on red ribbon.
"Good Morning." Kiyoko greeted the boy and added. "Today we're going to my place."
Hinata could only nod in silence. Not like he could object; nor she would even listen to his opinion. Kiyoko led him to her place, which was a shine located not far from his house. Hinata stared at the shrine with amazed look. He did remember Saeko telling about Kiyoko being a shrine-heads daughter but still it caught him in surprise. It was completely different to hear about it and see it with ones very own eyes.
As the two of them walked in, Kiyoko spotted two women sweeping the yard. The two of them greeted Kiyoko, who nodded kindly. After that she glanced at Hinata. "Could you please prepare Kimono for her? I'm waiting in the dance hall." with that she bowed and left.
Hinata was quickly taken to the dressing room and the two women prepared a Kimono for him and helped him to put it on. He was surprised that the women didn't notice him being actually a boy - or even if they did, they most likely didn't mention it. After all Kiyoko had referred him as a girl.
When the boy was dressed up, the women took him to the dance hall where Kiyoko was already waiting for him. She was also dressed into a Kimono. Her dress was ocean blue and had bubbles and dolphin as design. Kiyoko stared at Hinata's nature green Kimono with autumn-leaf design and smiled. "It really suits you."
After that Kiyoko closed her eyes and offered Hinata a fan. "Let the lesson start." Kiyoko positioned Hinata before her and told him to follow her every move and mirror them. The confused boy did his best to follow her but it was no luck - it was had to move in the Kinomo and his arm started to get numb for holding the fan.
"No no! Raise your hand more! The angle between your legs and arms is wrong. Put your chest up! Your holding the fan the wrong way!" after thirty minutes of helpless training, Hinata fell on the floor exhausted. How could something like dancing be so tiring?
Kiyoko looked at the boy with troubled look - the training was going absolutely no where. "What do I do with you?" In reality Kiyoko had never trained anyone so she wasn't sure what to do. She just repeated how she had learned the dance.
"Oho ho ho. Are you having trouble, my child?" the duo suddenly heard a voice asking. When they turned around the saw a short old woman with white hair entering the dancing hall. She was wearing simple navy blue Kimono and had kind expression.
"Kanno-san." Kiyoko seemed to be surprised to see the woman. The dark-head then turned her glance to Hinata and sighed lightly. "I'm supposed to teach this one traditional dance, but things aren't going very well." After Kiyoko's words the woman turned her attention towards Hinata and let out a laugh.
"My child. How about you first dance the song fully and then you work on it in parts?" Kanno suggested and already sat down next to Hinata. Kiyoko's eyes widened for a second, but after a look at Kanno, she took a deep breath and took the starting pose. "Watch closely, young one."
The moment Kiyoko started dancing, Hinata couldn't take his eyes off her. The movements, her posture and what more her expression was so alluring. He was captured into her world, following her every movement and staring at her face trying to figure out her expressions. It was as if she was telling a silent story to him; a story of a girl who was lonely and wanted more friends.
"You know, young one." Hinata was pulled back, when he suddenly heard Kanno speaking. He glanced at the older woman, but quickly changed his stare back to Kiyoko. He nodded lightly, implying that he was listening. The woman shot a light smile too staring at the young woman dancing.
"Kiyoko-sama, is currently the best dancer in the shrine. Her father is very proud of her... But it hasn't always been that way." Kanno was silent for a moment. "That child used to be the slowest learner and it seemed as if she was never going to catch up to others. But then she secretly started to practice on her own, and after practicing for hours and hours again she was finally able to master the dances like no one else."
Hinata's eyes widened and concentrated on Kiyoko's dance even more. Even though he knew nothing about traditional Japanese dance - he still could tell that Kiyoko was great dancer. Never ever had someone captived him with their dance. This woman was something else.
When Kiyoko was finished, Kanno walked to the woman. "Good work, my child. Now tell me, how long did it take for you to perfect this dance?" Kiyoko, who was huffing lightly glanced at the smiling woman. Her eyes widened and she lowered her head.
"I'm so sorry." Kiyoko apologized; as much as she was doing it to Kanno, Hinata and herself. "I panicked about the fact that we have only one week." Her face had flushed red and she did her best to hold her tears back.
Kanno closed her eyes and caressed Kiyoko's cheek. "Now, now, my child. You have to remember that everyone has their own pace of learning things. Don't panic and teach every move properly, that way the young one can perfect this dance." with that Kanno bowed at both Hinata and Kiyoko and excused herself.
She was about to exit from the door but took last one peek at her disciple and her pupil. Great, it seemed that Kiyoko had finally managed to calm down - even though the fact that she was perfectionist would remain. Kanno then glanced at Hinata and for a moment her face darkened.
"He has the same aura... as that young one."

Lesson Two: Every Woman Knows How To Serve Tea
When Kiyoko and Hinata were done with the dances, it was already time for the afternoon tea. Kiyoko glanced at the boy, who was lying on the floor and huffing loudly as every part of his body hurt. Dancing really was tiring.
"This time, we're going to serve tea." Kiyoko said, glancing at the clock. She waited for Hinata to get up and then lead the boy towards the other end of the shrine. The room - which seemed to be a tea ceremony room - was quite simple with some tatami mats and ikebana flowering. In the middle of the room was a strange hole with something like a pot in it.
"Here take this." Kiyoko said, offering a small box to Hinata. When the boy opened it he saw a bowl, caddy, scoop and various other equipment. His arms trembling, Hinata turned to Kiyoko with confused look. What was he supposed to do with all that?
"Just follow my example." Kiyoko shot an assuring smile, which only made Hinata even more nervous. This wasn't good. Kiyoko would surely show her true colors again. The colors of perfectionist.
The first part of the ceremony - the preparations - went well, if Hinata could say so it himself. He knew that Kiyoko wasn't going to be satisfied with just it, though. The biggest mistake Hinata could do, happened when he was supposed to start pour tea. He actually spilled it over, staining his Kimono.
"Don't mind it, I did that also on my first try." Kiyoko said, and for a moment Hinata actually felt like she was trying to encourage him. After all it was no use crying over a spilled tea, right? Finally, came the words that drove Hinata into desperation.
"Your form is off though, for 10 degrees. Remember to keep your back straight and expression calm. Don't waver or smile. Don't let any kind of expression show on your face."
Hinata wanted to cry. His inner-self was crying a lake of tears as they continued the ceremony for another twenty minutes.

Lesson Three: Ikebana - The Way Of Flowers
By the time the couple went to train Ikebana, Hinata's inner tears had already changed to real ones. This was just awful. He got tired of Saeko's spartan way of teaching, but Kiyoko's perfection was even more tiring. His mind had completely given up already.
"That flower needs to be five centimeters closer to the middle."
"Ah, you cut the branch too much. Now it doesn't look good."
"I would rather use red flowers here, in stead of blue ones."
"That flower needs to be put deeper, or it doesn't look good."
"That flower would look better if it was on the other side."
"That flower..."
"That flower..."
"That flower..."
Somehow the one hour practice was enough for him. He was sure that he wouldn't able to look at flowers properly now. Hinata sighed in exhaustion when the lesson was over. Hopefully the next lesson would be something he liked. Knowing Kiyoko, most likely not.
He wanted to go home.
Kiyoko Lessons - The Perfectionist
Lesson Four: The Perfect Wife Knows How To Cook
"Even though you already have a housekeeper who cooks for you, it's recommendable for a good wife to know how to cook and bake." Kiyoko informed the ginger-head as they walked towards the kitchen. She took two aprons and gave one to the boy.
Hinata couldn't stop his smile. Finally it was training about something he already knew how to do. His smile widened even more when Kiyoko announced that they would be making obento.
Kiyoko was expecting for the boy to look confused and ask questions from her. Well, he did come, but each and every time it was to find an ingredient. The woman watched from the sides as Hinata cooked and smiled proudly. At least it would save her from the trouble to teach him, if he already knew it.
After sometime had passed, Hinata walked to Kiyoko showing her a complete bento. Kiyoko observed it and gave an approved smile. "It very well done. Expe-" she was about to start, but stopped her words. No she should get over worked by it. This was Hinata's way of doing things and it was enough. Even though it wasn't the way she liked it, it was enough.
"Where did you learn to make bento?" she asked instead. Hinata glanced at the girl, and smiled with a blushing face. For the first time she had completely approved him.
"Our parents were busy with work - they left early and returned back late. Some times they were away for days or even weeks, so I was in charge for making obento for Natsu and myself." Hinata explained, his expression dropping at the mention of his sisters name. A sudden pain entered his whole body, and he did his best to keep tears from coming. It still hurt, mentioning Natsu's name hurt.
"I guess we don't need any cooking lessons, now do we?" Kiyoko suggested. At the mention of it, Hinata's eyes widened. He had finally found a lesson he liked and now she was going to take the joy away from him. "Ah... if only possible... I would like to continue the lessons..."
Kiyoko was taken aback by Hinata's words. She smiled. "Then as your first homework, you have to create the perfect obento for your husband and make it to him to work." Hinata felt chills at the thought of it - at the thought of doing something for that intimidating bastard. But he was prepared to take on the challenge.
At home Hinata immediately started making various sorts of the food changing the measurements just a little in order to find the one his husband liked the move. When Hinata had more than five variants of bento ready for his husband, he heard the entrance door opening.
Kageyama who had returned from work, walked to the dining hall hoping that Miharu had already prepared food for him. "Miharu-san what we have-" his words were cut short, when instead of his housekeeper he saw his wife running around in apron while placing different dishes on the table.
Hinata glanced at Kageyama and greeted him with unusually cheerful smile. After that he lead his husband to the dining hall and sat him down. "I would like you to try all of them, and tell what's your favorite." Hinata said and then started skipping towards kitchen to take off his apron.
Kageyama stared at his wife going and then at the seven bento variants before him. So this days dinner was obento prepared by his wife. He had important meeting the next day so he hoped that he wouldn't get poisoned by it. Kageyama gulped and reached towards the chopsticks. He was afraid to eat the meal prepared by his wife but the intense the stare he received from the kitchen was far too troubling.
After the first bite, which luckily tasted better than he had imagined, it was easier to test rest of them. Kageyama happily tasted each bentos main dishes, along with some of the side dished. He ate all of the chicken and tamagoyaki, but left the salmon and plums out.
When Kageyama had finished what he could, he stood up from his seat and walked to the kitchen. Hinata panicked when he saw Kageyama walking towards him, and he quickly tried to find a place to hide. He wasn't fast enough, though, as Kageyama was already patting his head. "Thanks for the meal. It was good." with that the raven-head disappeared into the second floor.
Hinata immediately ran to the dining hall, to check what his husband preferred to eat. He was surprised that out of the seven bentos only one was completely finished. Also he noticed that Kageyama had eaten tamagoyaki from all dished. The boy smiled happily.
"Tori bento and rolled eggs, huh?"
It was finally a Sunday evening, a week had passed by in a flash. Hinata finished his cooking lesson with Kiyoko and after a call from Saeko, they headed to her studio. It seemed that Shimada had finally finished making the school ID card. When the duo entered the studio hall, Saeko and Shimada were already waiting for them.
"Otsukare." Saeko greeted Hinata and Kiyoko - she seemed to be more merry than usually, was she buzzed? The two of them nodded their heads and then turned to greet Shimada. He showed and week smile, which made Saeko to smack him on the back. "Greet~ them properly." she puffed, but then laughed joyfully.
The cause of Saeko's merriness was found in no time - the three empty beer cans gave her out right away. Shimada let out a deep sigh and glanced at Kiyoko with apologizing look. "She wanted to celebrate the successful week and forced me to accompany her as neither one of you drink."
His words made Saeko to smack his back again and he almost fell from his chair. A light crimson appeared on Saeko's cheek - most likely due to the alcohol and she puffed loud. Another sigh escaped Shimada's lips. He then stood up and walked to Hinata. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Here's your student ID card." the man told, and hold out a small card to the ginger-head.
Hinata took the card and stared at it. It looked so perfect, just like his old card. The only difference was that it was falsified one, and referred Hinata as a female. He was now, Kageyama Natsu a female student of Teikoku Academy. The picture was the one they had taken the week earlier. There he had his hair open with the hairpieces falling to his shoulder and just slight amount of make-up to make him look more girly.
"Th- Thank you so much." Hinata's voice cracked, as he panicked to thank Shimada. The dark-blue haired man laughed embarrassed of the sudden politeness. "It was very easy job." he then admitted. When Hinata saw his smile - which this time was so innocent one - he once again got goosebumps. He shouldn't forget it - no matter how kind this man was, he was still professional forger.
Finally Shimada turned to look at Saeko, who was opening yet another beer can. "I know that it's rude for me to ask my clients need for the items, but mind answering to one of my questions? If this young man is already eighteen and finishing high school, then why the needs to make him into a sixteen year-old female freshman?"
Saeko took a deep drink from the can and placed it on the table while making a satisfied cry. Oh, how she loved the taste of beer. After that she turned her attention toward to dark-blue head. At that very instant her smile faded away and the expression on her face got serious. She took a deep breath, the pupils of her golden-brown eyes sharpened.
"No that's a very good question. I'm not even sure how should I answer to you." she swirled around the half-empty beer can in her hands. "Let's say that Hinata's and Kageyama's fathers are very close. That's why when Hinata-father agreed to marry his daughter into Kageyama family of course Kageyama-father knew that he was meaning the sixteen year-old Natsu. Now wouldn't it be strange that this 'Natsu' suddenly transferred into third-year when she was supposed to be a first year."
"In order to completely deceive Kageyama family, even their son Tobio, we had Hinata to become the perfect Natsu. To the point he'll be entering the same school year as her." Kiyoko told boldly. When she realized that everyone was staring at her, her eyes wavered and she looked down while blushing. "Th- That's at least the order we got from Hinata-father."
Saeko sipped from the can. "Satisfied?"
Shimada sighed. These people were really working with a seriously warped up matter. Having a poor high school graduate acting like he was a female. He really wasn't the one to speak, though. His cases weren't always so innocent. More like, when someone needs documents to be falsified the case can never be harmless.
The honey-head stood up from her chair. Her intentions were to head towards Hinata, but the sudden rise made her to lose her balance. Thankfully Shimada managed to catch her just in time. "I think you have had enough for today." the man told and helped Saeko back to her chair. "EHH? Not fun!" the woman complained.
As she acted to be angry at Shimada, Saeko then glanced at Hinata. "Tomorrow's your first day at school, right?" When the orange-bush nodded his head, she continued. "Then let's have a break from training... and let's see... on Tuesday you'll be training with me." she let out a childish laugh.
Hinata's eyes widened in shock. "You mean we continue the training?" But they had been talking about a week. He thought that they would stop once the week had passed. This meant that he still had to bear the harsh lessons of that spartan teacher and the perfectionist, right? No. No. No. He didn't want it.
Saeko smirked, having satisfaction of seeing Hinata so worked up. "But of course. We're going to continue till you become the perfect woman."
The hell was going to continue.
Hair, check.
Make-up, check.
Uniform, check.
Hinata glanced at the mirror once again, to make sure that everything was perfect before he exited the room. His hair had the hairpieces attached, making long straights fall down from his bush along the chest and back line. This made his hair reach till middle back. The make-up was also very simple one, just little mascara and face powder. Even if he was going to use make-up, he wanted to look as natural as possible.
What came to school uniform, he liked it more than the one in his old school (of course he wanted to wear the male one, not the female one). Just like in the male uniform he had a white blazer, a white blouse and black tie. The skirt was black-colored and in order to hide as much of his legs as he could, Hinata decided to go with black cotton tights. The sports bra with push-up-pads made it seem, as if he actually had breast.
When Hinata had confirmed his appearance once again, he headed towards the dining hall. Like usually Miharu had already prepared breakfast for him and Kageyama. When she saw Hinata coming wearing the school uniform, the woman smiled kindly. "So your school uniform finally arrived. It looks really good on you." she complimented the boy, which made Hinata blush slightly. How could he look good in female uniform. Was his body-build really that female-like?
As Hinata was about to finish his breakfast, Kageyama walked down the stairs. When he entered the dining hall, Hinata was surprised to see him in school uniform. For the third-years the school had already ended, so it was strange. "You're going to school today?" the orange-head asked as Kageyama sat down to enjoy his breakfast.
Kageyama glanced at the boy from the corner of his eye. He noticed that Hinata was wearing the school uniform, which meant that the transfer was complete. He stuffed a piece of the fried egg and then answered. "Yeah. We're going to have a match."
Hinata tilted his head, but as Kageyama didn't bother to continue he left the answer disappear into air. He did pursue his lips a little, though - to show the raven-head that he was satisfied. But sadly it didn't work as Kageyama continue eating his breakfast while completely ignoring Hinata.
The orange-head sighed and got up. Miharu immediately ran to take the dishes away from the table. Hinata stared at the dark-haired man, still wondering if Kageyama had deserved it. But in the end he had woken up five in the morning to prepare it so it would be waste of food not to give it to him. Kageyama glanced at the boy, as he felt intense aura being emitted from the person. "What?" he mumbled, switching then his attention back to the food.
Hinata made few forced faces, but then sighed and placed a box on the table. The boy was wrapped by a simple navy-blue cloth. Kageyama stared at the box and then raised his head. "What is this?" his eyes were literally telling the boy to already disappear from his sight.
The orange-heads cheeks flushed red and he turned away from the boy. "It's bento. I prepared it for you." he mumbled between his breaths. Kageyama stared at the box, not moving. Hinata felt his body temperature raise and finally he snatched the box away, his head steaming from over heat. "No, forget! I bet that you wouldn't even like i-"
"Give it to me."
"Eh?" Hinata's eyes widened in shock, when he heard Kageyama's words. They came out as a command and Kageyama looked as if he wasn't going to repeat himself. "A bento is always bento, even if it's made by the likes of you." the dark-head then told, taking the final piece of his fried bacon. Hinata wanted to yell at the words, but gave up and placed the box on the table again. He wasn't in the mood to fight as the first thing in the morning. No matter how much Kageyama insulted him, he wouldn't fall for it.
"Then I head to scho-" Hinata was about to say, but his words were cut short. He turned to look at Kageyama with glazed eyes. The man shot him a murderous look, as if asking just what more the annoying woman wanted from him. The orange-head laughed weakly. "I don't know the way to the school."
Miharu, who walked into the dining hall to take Kageyama's dishes away, smiled. "Then why don't you Tobio-sama escort Natsu-sama to school?" she left a question hanging in the air. It was so fragile and tense, neither of the boys dared to break it. Finally Kageyama sighed as he stood up from the seat. Why he had to do so much for this useless person and complete idiot? Couldn't she survive on her own without bothering him about every single thing?
"I take you but only this one time, shrimp." the fierce sentence was spitted out from Kageyama's mouth, holding in every single ill emotion and thought he held towards the orange-head.
This was the start of Hinata's first school day.
This was only the start of it.
A/N: I don't think I have anything to say. Next time we'll have Hinata's first school day in his new school. It's full of new characters, over flows of emotions, confessions and... I dun really now. But the one thing I know is that we're going to have a volleyball match. Sadly Hinata isn't the one playing though, stay tuned!
