Hiccups: the Sequel

"And so, Hitler was overall a very, very bad man," the teacher said, slapping shut the teachers' addition text book, effectively ending the most boring World War II lecture since World War II.

"But Hitler was insane! Like, certifiably. Doesn't that mean it could have been a birth defect or autism or something like that?" a girl with curly red hair and freckles asked, her hand shooting into the air and almost knocking off her black-framed glasses.

"Mayu-chan, I'm sure we'd all love to hear more about your fascinating theories on Hitler's mental issues, but I've got a class to teach," the teacher said, bored out of her mind. "And what's in here," she said, holding up the textbook, "Is what's on your final exam."

As Mayu retorted back about her theories and the teacher responded again, blowing it into a full argument, Cross Yuuki was in the fifth row beside her best friend and roommate, Yori. Yuuki was also asleep. Again.

"Yuuki-chan... Yuuki-chan..." Yori said, shaking her friend's shoulder lightly. Yuuki woke with a start, peeling her cheek from the slightly glossy page of her textbook.

"Huh?" she said, looking around. "Oh, Yori-chan, it's just you," she said, sighing and leaning back in her seat. "I thought Takai-sensei had called on me again."

Yori sighed. "She's arguing with Mayu-san again," Yori said, filling in her friend on what she'd missed. "Lecture was on Hitler. Main idea: he was evil."

"Alri-," Yuuki yawned in the middle of her word. Her voice caught a little as the air was cut off, then rerouted.

"You need to get more sleep," Yori murmured.

"I know, it's just- hic!" Yuuki's hand flew over her mouth as a rather loud hiccup pierced her sentence.

Yori giggled slightly as Takai-sensei, Mayu, and the rest of the class turned to Yuuki.

"Something wrong, Yuuki-san?" Takai-sensei inquired, noting how Yuuki was now blushing scarlet in addition to her deer-in-headlights eyes and hand-over-mouth position.

"Fi- hic!" she said, a hiccup slipping out before Yuuki could stop it.

Giggly twitters permeated the room's former near-silence.

"Yuuki-san's got hiccups," Mayu giggled.

Yuuki blushed harder. "Do no- hic!"

More giggling and twittering.

"Want some water, Yuuki-san?" Takai-sensei asked lightly, trying not to laugh at her student's expression.

Yuuki nodded, hiccuping again through her hand. She rushed up to the water fountain, which was located at the very back of the lecture hall. She heard people turning in their seats to watch.

"Hold your breath, ten seconds!" Mayu called.

Yuuki nodded, her mouth now full of water, and counted to ten in her head easily. She swallowed the water and grinned, "It worked, Mayu-cha- hic!"

The entire class erupted into laughter.

"Does anyone know a better way to get rid of hiccups?" Takai-sensei called over the sound of her students, looking around.

"I do!" a guy said, standing. He grinned and pushed his bangs out of his eyes as his friends wolf-whistled and a certain Kiryuu Zero glared. "You've got to scare them out."

"That's right!" another girl said, standing as well.

"How -hic!- will that -hic!- help?" Yuuki asked. They both shrugged.

"Just does, I guess," the guy said, shrugging and sitting down. The girl did the same quickly.

"Boo!" someone shouted, jumping on Yuuki's shoulders from behind her.

Yuuki jumped. "Ack! Hic!" she said in surprise. The entire class groaned, it hadn't worked.

"Well, we'd better just try to get her later," Takai-sensei called. "Everyone, back to your seats."

Yuuki made her way back to her seat beside Yori. "You aren't going to try to scare me, are you?" she whispered anxiously as the teacher started reading from Hitler's memoir, following her question with a loud hic!

"Wouldn't dream of it," Yori promised.

Class proceeded pretty much as normal, other than Yuuki's loud hiccups and the class-wide attempts (minus Yori and Zero) to scare them out of her. All attempts were completely random, from someone flickering the lights to an origami spider in her hair to muttering extremely long words. Yuuki in turn proved she was afraid of neither the dark nor spiders nor long words nor much else, really.

Then, something frightening to Yuuki did happen.

Zero had been sitting a few rows behind Yuuki, pretty much the only one in the room even pretending to listen to the lesson, when a girl sitting next to him got a paper cut. She apparently had a very low tolerance for pain, because as soon as the paper slit the skin of her finger, she started yelling. "MY ARM!! MY ARM!!! MY HAND MY ARM MY HAND MY ARM MY FINGER!!!" she shouted. Yuuki spun around in her seat, and saw the girl waving her hand frantically in front of Zero's face. A drop of dark red blood splattered onto his cheekbone.

"Kyoko-chan, really," Takai-sensei said, exasperated. "It's a paper cut, leave it alone and it'll be fine!"

Kyoko refused to listen though, waving her arms and flicking more blood onto Zero, seeming as insane as the person they were (supposed) to be studying.

Yuuki watched in horror, what would Zero do?! What would Zero be forced by his instincts to do?!

But Zero didn't react, merely wiping off the splatter of blood with his thumb and leaning away, giving Kyoko a look of loathing. She didn't notice, still screeching about her arm. After about a minute of rifling through her desk, Takai-sensei found a bandage, which she gave to Kyoko. "Thank you!!" she gushed, putting the bandage on her 'wound'.

Only after another four minutes did Yori notice something.

"Yuuki-chan, you're not hiccuping." It was true, Yuuki had been completely silent for the past five minutes, even since Kyoko had started streaming.

"I'm not!" Yuuki laughed happily.

"I suppose Kyoko-san's 'injury' really scared you," Yori teased.

Yuuki laughed again, knowing she couldn't tell Yori everything, "Yeah, I guess so."

"Yuuki-san, Yori-san, something you want to share?" Takai-sensei said sharply.

"Yuuki-chan's hiccups are gone!" Yori said.

"That's great!" Mayu and the guy who had given the idea said.

"Wonderful, Yuuki-san," Takai-sensei said, bored with it already. "Now as I was saying- hic!"

Silence.

Then, the entire class erupted into laughter, Yuuki and Yori the loudest.
