Forbidden Love
Ep. II
Unfortunately for everyone, they had her class at the end of the day and Mikoto made everyone did a ten laps run around the track field before playing soccer. Most of them collapsed, complaining how the sub was even worst than their teacher. By the time the bell rung, everyone was glad that their time in hell was over and now they could crawl back to their dorm.
"Yo, how's first day?" Yuuki Nao asked as she headed out. It was a good thing that she's a Biology teacher, her way of talking doesn't seemed to make a lot of sense and her students got confused about it sometimes. "Good I guess," Mikoto shrugged as they walked on the same pace. "So how is it like to have to share your beloved cousin with that crazy dog?" Nao asked, obviously she doesn't like Natsuki. For good reasons too, as the gym teacher nearly ran her over quite a few times since their days in Fuuka Gakuen. "I don't know, but I'll have to get my own place when they come back from their honeymoon," Mikoto replied. "Hahaha... I can already imagine the dog pissing kaicho off by now," Nao snickered at the thought.
"I know that you don't like Kuga-sensei, Nao-chan but there's no need to be so hostile about her all the time." Munakata Shiho said as she joined them from her classroom. "I told you not to call me that in front of other people," Nao hissed at Shiho who just giggled. "You two make it sounds like I'm a stranger," Mikoto said shaking her head in disbelief. "We've known each other when we were so young that we would run out into the rain buttnaked." Mikoto added and that brought a blush to the other two teachers. "Anyway," Nao said after a moment of dead silence. "Why don't you come over for dinner tonight? Mom would love it if you come," Nao finished glancing at Mikoto as they finally made it to the parking lot. "Maybe some other day, I promised Yukino-chan to have dinner at her place tonight at Shi-chan's wedding." Mikoto said with an apologetic look on her face. "Just make sure you get some earplugs," Shiho chimed in reminding her friend about a certain blonde's boom voice. "Thanks for reminding me, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Mikoto waved as she rushed over to her bike and got on.
Meanwhile somewhere in the school's building, Senoh Aoi was grinning while her fingers tapped on the keys on the keyboard fluidly. "Minagi Mikoto, twenty-two years old and a Tokyo U grad." Chie read off the screen as Aoi somehow pulled up from the school's staff record. "What else can we dig up about her my sweet Aoi-chan?" Chie's words send chills down Aoi's spine. "You're going to owe me big time, Chie." Aoi replied as she continued typing and soon pulled up some more interesting information about their subsitute teacher. "She's cousin to Fuuka's famous idol: Fujino Shizuru kaicho, and a distance relative to Kuga-sensei. Well, that explains her icy demeanor," Chie said thoughtfully. "But look, it says here that she also attended Oxford for a semester on her last year of high school. Just exactly what is she?" Aoi murmured puzzled by the last bit of information. "That's odd, there's nothing special about her grades that would allowed her to attend either universities." Chie added rubbing her chin like a detective would be doing. "It seems that there's more dirt about Minagi-sensei than we thought it to be," Aoi said looking very much psyched up for some reason. "We should study her and find out about her hobbies and things if we want to help Mai-chan," Chie started. "Then again, how could you fall for someone that fast?" she asked no one in particular. "Maybe it's just a crush, I'm sure she'll get over it soon." Aoi shrugged though she wouldn't mind helping her friend out and get over the little crush on the teacher in the process.
Yet somewhere else, Mikoto took in a deep breather before ringing the doorbell to a decent size house in front of her. "I'm coming dammit!"was all that Mikoto heard before someone forcefully and nearly ripped the front door open, revealing a grumpy looking Haruka with a five finger print on her left cheek. Wow, lover's quarrel maybe I should come back to other times... Mikoto's mind went into that line of thinking, but before she could run off Yukino already appeared and pulled her inside leaving Haruka to slammed the door shut and probably loosen the hinges in the process.
"I give her a list and she ended up buying only chicken, and she was cursing the whole time because I made her help me with cooking something chicken." Yukino sounded terribly upset. "And I guess Haruka-chan hated chicken," Mikoto interrupted and Yukino just nodded her head. "So what did she do to deserve that slap?" Mikoto whispered. "Dumping all the chicken dishes we made into the trash, and now we have no dinner." Yukino started tearing up. "Ouch," Mikoto cringed but was glad that she took the liberty to bought extra foods in case and it was also for herself tomorrow. So they all had take-out dinner instead, and it was a heavily silence dinner as Haruka grumbled under her breathe while Yukino wouldn't even look at the gakuencho or talk to Mikoto.
At Fuuka Girl's Dormitory, Tohkiha Mai was enjoying dinner by herself as she didn't have a roommate. She was feeling so tired from all the running in gym class that she fell asleep before she could even finished her dinner. I will get you back for this, Minagi-sensei... She vowed to get back at Mikoto tomorrow but her eyes and mind had already shut down on her. Her phone ring stubbornly jolting her out of her sleep, grumpily Mai feels around in the dark for her phone and finally found it under a pillow on the extra bed.
"...'lo?" Mai said groggily. "Mai-chan, you would never belief this." Chie said over the line. "Wait, are you sleeping?" the girl asked. "Yeah, you guys were goal keepers didn't have to run all over in the field after a ten laps run." Mai replied yawning into the phone. "Nevermind that, it seemed that our sub-teacher likes to read novels from Kiyohime-sensei and takes walk in the park." Aoi said taking the phone away from Chie. "Please tell me you guys didn't hack into the school's database," Mai said sounding a bit irritated even though she's happy to know a bit more about her crush (and she's not the only one with a crush on her substitute teacher). "Do you really want us to answer that?" Chie asked chuckling on the other end. "Uh... no, good night you two." Mai said and hung up the phone without waiting for anything else from the other line.
As expected, the next morning, the teacher's desk were filled with flowers and boxes of candies, something Mikoto found to be repulsive. "Ahem..." she cleared her throat and everyone's attention is on her. "For those of you that actually did some snooping around about me, let me clear something up for you guys." Mikoto paused eyeing most of the male students in class and rested her golden eyes on Aoi and then Chie. She had been warned about those two, and knew of the reasons for all these flowers and candies. "Though I appreciate the gesture, I have to say that flowers should be left to bloom to its fullest instead of for one day. I do not have a sweet-tooth, so all of these sweet things are just a waste." Mikoto finished just as the door to the room slammed open and a certain red head poked her head in.
"Did I hear flowers and candies?" Nao asked her eyes glued to the pile of candies on Mikoto's desk. "Yuuki-sensei, I'm sure these would be a good test for your little experience." Mikoto said to Nao. At the mention of it, a strange yet devilish smile crept onto the young Biology teacher, and with one sweep all the flowers and candies somehow managed to moved onto the small bag that Nao seemed to always carried around with her. "I'll see you guys in a bit," Nao grinned at the students sending chills down their spine as she strolled out.
