Hello there. I'm not exactly so sure on how to start off a new chapter but I would like to address my gratitude to all those people who reviewed and gave some comments.

KevinCruelz: Actually I'm not too sure about the areas of adding the place, time and POV but I'll try to do my best to add in as I improve.

To the rest of the reviewers: I'll try to do my best to continue this story with the standard expected. I hope that my story will continue to interest you.

Lastly, I don't own Love Live.

The very first thing that Nico felt when she came to was a warm sensation gripping her left hand. When Nico turned her head to the source of the warm sensation, she got a huge shock. Umi was holding on to her hand tightly despite sleeping soundly. Nico, not wanting to wake her homeroom teacher and to also gaze at her serene face later on, tried to gently slip out of Umi's grasp. The results were, unfortunately for Nico, opposite of what was intended.

"Yazawa-san! Thank goodness you're awake! You really scared me when you collapsed on to the ground. How are you feeling right now? Are you suffering from anaemia? Or did y-" Umi bombarded with such frightening speed that it took Nico quite some time to interrupt her barrage of questions concerning herself.

"Sonoda-sensei, I'm fine now. Although… I think it would be better for both me and you if you phrased your sentences clearly. On another note, this is Nishikino's office right? Who brought me here?" Nico asked with a slightly drowsy tone and a small blush on her face from recalling Umi's decision on teaching Nico literature.

"Ah… That's good. The person who brought you here was me, though I don't understand what you mean by 'phrasing my sentences clearly'..." Umi replied Nico, confusion evident on Umi's face.

"She meant that you shouldn't say that you'll teach a student all night long. Even Rin-chan and I misunderstood that sentence completely." Maki's voice cut through the air. Umi turned to look at the school nurse while still being confused if not, frustrated at her words. "Know what? Ask Yazawa-san yourself, Umi-chan. I've matters to attend to." With that, Maki promptly left her office, leaving Umi and Nico alone with a somewhat tense atmosphere.

"I-I t-thought you were…" Nico started off, trying to break the tension. It was hard however, as Umi's face expression made it hard for Nico to explain her interpretation. "I… Ithoughtyouweretalkingabouthavingsexwithme!" Nico said in a rushed tone, praying that Umi would not understand. After that, Nico dashed out of the office, blushing.

"Having…SEX?! Oh god… I can't believe that Yazawa-san actually misinterpreted my words… I better apologise the next time I see her…"Umi sighed while sporting a blush across the face. With Nico's cause of nose bleeding settled, Umi left Otonokizaka High School and headed towards a particular Japanese sweets shop she likes to visit.

"Welcome to Kosaka's! Please take your ti- Ah, it's just Umi-chan! How's your day?" A ginger haired girl with some of her hair tied into a ponytail asked before realising that it was Umi who entered.

"Honoka, shouldn't you be treating me like a customer? Geez… Also, what's with that convenience store-like greeting? Seriously, you don't sound one bit like a store owner!" Umi lectured the ginger haired woman, Honoka , who happens to be running the Japanese sweets shop.

"Sorry, sorry! But it kinda feels weird greeting a childhood friend right?" Honoka asked, maintaining a grin on her face. Umi sighed before purchasing five red bean manjus. "That'll be 450 yen, Umi-chan." Honoka told Umi while she was calculating the amount of money she had in her hand.

"450 yen right? Here, anything else you want to tell me Honoka before I leave?" Umi said with a lethargic tone. Honoka shook her head and retrieved Umi's payment when all of a sudden, high pitched voices filled the atmosphere.

"Hey onee-chan, can we get some manjus? Please? We know it's close to dinner time but can we?" A girlish voice rang out. A single thought crossed both Honoka's and Umi's minds. 'Who the heck buys manjus at DINNER TIME?!'

The shop door rattled open and revealed two young girls, one young boy and one female high school student that immediately paled when she saw Umi in the shop. Umi also paled a little when she saw the very student that she managed to cause a nose bleed.

"S-Sonoda-sensei… P-Please tell me it's coincidence that we met and not you anticipating I would come here to r-r-rape me right? Nico stuttered out, fear and embarrassment apparent in her tone. Umi's mouth gaped open while Honoka stood there amused at the student's choice of words. Honoka mentally made a note to later ask Umi what made the student felt that Umi would rape someone.

"Yazawa-san…" Umi started. Nico had the very same expression her class wore when Umi ordered her to see her after school while her younger siblings, who were the three kids with her, immediately selected their manjus before realising that they lack ample money to buy what they want. Honoka, deciding to use this opportunity to tease Umi, gave a thumbs-up sign to the three of them and wrote something on a piece of paper. Afterwards, she gave the manjus to them, implying that they were free.

"See me at 6.30 am in the morning. You don't have a club so don't think you can get away with it." Umi spoke with a murderous intent in her voice. Just like before, Nico could only dumbly nod and led her younger siblings out of the shop immediately.

"Hey Umi-chan, here. Read this piece of paper." Honoka said with a glint of mischief in her eyes. Umi crumpled the piece of paper after reading the contents. The paper read 'Please pay for our manjus, thank you very much! Signed, Yazawa'.

"That Yazawa… Who does she think she is to ask her homeroom teacher to pay for her siblings' manjus?! I'll address this matter to her tomorrow first thing when I see her!" Umi furiously said. Before she could continue her rant, she was cut off by Honoka.

"Umi-chan, why did that student said that you're gonna rape her?" Honoka asked Umi innocently.

Honoka woke up the next day with a huge bump on her head.

Alright, this is this is the second chapter. I know it's a far worse standard than the first one and I'll try to improve. As usual, I greatly welcome reviews and criticisms as it would help me to know what you guys expect from me. Once again, I'm sorry for this terrible standard.
