After Kinta-kun's invite to the detective club, Kyu's mind hasn't been able to think of anything else! Well, almost nothing else…
His 7th period class, Biology, had a disturbing teacher who went by Ketia Yosmin. The way she talked about the human organs was almost as if she had seen them personally. What was worse was the evil light sparkling in her crimson eyes, just screaming out the word "Murderer". "Oi, oi Ketia! I thought you'd be scaring your students witless by now…" Another female voice called from the doorway. This turned Kyu's head to only gasp in surprise.
The young lady in the doorway looked similar to his current teacher. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that said biology teacher had narrowed red eyes, while this one had wide, practically innocent hazel eyes… Then he would've guessed they be identical twins! "What do you mean 'Scaring my students witless by now', Kit?" Ms. Yosmin practically deadpanned, pouting almost! "Well, considering most of my students that have you before me come in looking paler than a ghost…." She then shot a glare at the science teacher, "It wouldn't take two and two to figure out it makes a fish…"
A random student decided to question this, which caused the biology teacher to smirk and call the student an idiot who deserved to fail because he was an idiot who couldn't even learn the basics of logic. "KETIA!!" The other teacher shouted, sighing softly before saying, "Geez… How the hell did you even get this teaching job to begin with? Threaten them?!" A thick, almost eerie silence befell the class then. And everyone could almost swear of two things. One was that the temperature in that classroom dropped at least several degrees that day. The other, was that their already scary biology teacher looked even scarier with that secretive smirk plastered on her face.
"Geez…. See! And you're the one who wonders why we don't have that many in the detective's club to begin with! You're scaring all of them along with that stupid security guard with those scary mugs of yours!" The hazel-eyed innocent looking twin grounded out as she huffed, "That's it… RYU! Be a sweetie and tell everyone that home economics are to group with either of my elder brothers as a free period, and that for club I'm making a special surprise to calm myself because of this irritating "Other me" as you guys call her…."
She then stormed out with Ketia trailing behind her with a "Wait! What do you mean "Irritating"? Kit!!" Kyu was left speechless as Ryu merely sigh in annoyance at his troublesome tasks. "Again? It's a wonder if the two are a married couple or not…." A brave random student spoke up after the two teachers reached far past hearing distance. (. No…. Most certainly not! The two are like the heads and tail of a coin!)
--- Scene Change! ----
"So…. Myosin-sensei and Yosmin-sensei are always like that?" Kyu asked curiously as school ended and they were headed to the room for Detective Club. Ryu nodded simply as he spoke, "That's one of the reason our club is so small despite the fact most everyone here worships Dan-sensei…." The innocent, naïve detective merely gave a soft "Wow…." As he
became lost in thought, not realizing his friend watching him closely as they were nearing the room.
"Oi! Kyu-kun! Over here!" Kinta called brightly, "We've still yet to introduce you to the rest of the club!" Kyu's face brightened at this as he chirped a rather cheerful "Hai!" and hurried to Kinta for introductions. There, he got to meet again Megumi and Kazuma (As well as his biology and home economics teachers, who at the moment were arguing as Myosin-Sensei was holding a plate of Kyu-shaped cookies….) but he also got to meet several newer faces.
Sakura Yukihira, a popular high school novelist, was a junior with short black hair. Her attitude showed seriousness, but underneath it was the hint of a caring person. Or at least to Kyu it seemed that way. Then, there was the annoying brown-haired student with an unnatural high IQ (180) Yutaka Saburomaru. He always bragged about some achievement and that he went to some center that collected gifted children like he and Megumi. "Megu…. You're gifted as well?" Kyu asked curiously as his wide eyes shown in amazement. "Only because I have photographic memory…." Megumi replied with a hint of a blush, looking away from the cute scene Kyu made, since she also noticed a slightly stiffer Ryu… Odd….
Next we've got the two sophomores. Hayato Shiramine, the magician (In Ryu's case… Since it was Hayato's father that is the magic man.), and Kuniko Toya, the expert on Aikido, it seems… Hayato mentions that magicians are the better detectives. Kuniko was just too shy and timid to really greet Kyu herself. It wasn't until Kyu lightened things did she speak to him louder than hushed whispers. All in all, the club seemed great!
"Ryu…. Myosin-sensei mentioned a security guard….?" Kyu asked as he seemed to suddenly remember something. A booming chuckle was heard behind him, "That would be Hongo-sensei… Kyu-kun…." Everyone then bowed as a chorus of "Welcome, Dan-Sensei!!" rang out loudly. Kyu could only stare in amazement at the four adults before him. One was a slightly elder gentleman in a wheelchair, and he was being pushed by an orange-ish haired lady…Next to him on either side was a man. These men were opposites like night and day! One was much meaner looking with a stronger build, the other leaner with a playful smile on his lips.
"This is… You are Dan-Sensei?!" Kyu's voice squeaked. Katie looked confused as she said, "Kyu, Honey…. Why the shock?" "Because he's the guy who was at the first major case of my life!" Kyu exclaimed. It was then that Ketia shouted, "Oh! Story time!" As everyone looked between a now reddened Kyu and coolly collected Dan for said story. But unfortunately (Or not in Kyu's case, since he was getting nervous…) Myosin-sensei clapped her hands together twice as she called out, "Hai, hai…. Let's get off this topic now…. We should be checking our mail for cases, no?"
A simple nod and few noises of disappointment (Who are we kidding? Most EVERYONE was disappointed!) told the home economics teacher that she had their attention and got them doing what she wanted to. Kyu began to watch everyone head to small mailboxes with his or her own names on them. "Why does-""Oh, right!" Myosin-sensei cut Kyu off as she continued, "Kyu, Sweetie… We gave everyone their own personal mailbox so they can have their own cases and such! Also, sometimes people who, let's say lose a cat more than once, refers to the same person to help them…"
"Ah man…!" Kintaro groaned, "D. Myosin-sensei lost his pet bird again!!" Katie couldn't help but laugh. "I'm thinking Deven does that on purpose just to make fun of you, Kintaro…. Go to the next one….." She then looked at Kyu, "See what I mean? But the best thing is, these mailboxes were made by them… So each one is personalized… And today, my dear Kyu-kun… You and I shall be making YOUR mailbox!" Kyu had a look of excitement as he nodded, following the home economics teacher to a different, more private room to create his mailbox.
"Well, if Kit's taking Kyu-kun…. Hey, Ryu! Anything in your mailbox?" Ketia called out as she saw a simple head shake for "No" from said student. "Good… I've been wanting help on finding my missing lab decorations…." She then dragged Ryu off. Everyone shivered at the thought of the lab decorations…. They STILL had nightmares about them!
The rest of the day was spent with Kyu learning how to make his mailbox. Who knew one single home ecs teacher had learned how to deal with wood working as well? She gave pointers and helpful advice as she helped the black-haired boy every step of the way. It was fun, to say the least. And when he got finished, he was relatively pleased with the results.
The next day at club, something unusual happened. Inside Kyu's mailbox was a single black rose. "Oh, wow…. Kyu's got an admirer!" The hazel-eyed teacher called out cheerfully. This caused most everyone to look at Kyu in shock. "Dang… Second day here and already you've got someone with a crush on you!" This caused poor Kyu-kun to blush as he stuttered out, "Wh-Who would want to send a flower to me?!"
Needless to say, that day was spent with people without cases to try figuring out who Kyu's secret admirer could be. They couldn't even figure out why a black rose instead of red! Needless to say, that day had rather fruitless attempts.
It wasn't until he got home, that the answer was awkwardly revealed.
"What'd you need Ryu?" Kyu asked as let his friend enter his humble abode. It was odd to see his friend here… How did he even know where he lived? "Is your mother home…" It sounded more like a statement than question, but the smaller boy barely noticed as he shook his head with a strong no. "She left awhile ago to get groceries…. Why…?"
"Because I know who your secret admirer is…" Ryu claimed as he set somewhat chapped lips upon Kyu's. Shocking the boy as he later heard the whispered words, "Did you know that black roses ment 'You are mine forever'? Kyu-kun…?"

Okay…. I know I deserve a good explanation… But all I'm gonna say is I've token a wrong turn in life…. I may not update too quickly, sorry…. And I may/may not have more chapters like this…. Ja ne!
