Chidori Kaname let out a deep sigh, as her friend, Kyouko Tokiwa, took pictures of an origami swan.

"What's wrong, Kaname?" Kyouko inquired innocently, "Did Sagara do something again?" Kaname put her head in her hands.

"That's putting it lightly. For some reason, Sergeant Bonehead decided it would be funny to blow up a shoe locker."

"Ah." Kyouko took another picture. "But isn't that pretty much a daily thing now? It might piss you off a bit, but it shouldn't make you so depressed."

"Yeah, I know." Kaname mumbled into her arms. "I shouldn't be surprised. And I wouldn't be, if he hadn't blown up someone else's locker." Kyouko looked at her.

"Eh? Someone else's locker?" Kaname sighed again.

"Yup. That moron mistook someone else's shoe locker for his own, and naturally, since the owner switched his shoes out, it had been 'disturbed'. I don't care how much he likes blowing up his own stuff, but to blow up someone else's locker? And a girl's at that!" Kaname groaned, "Her shoes were really expensive too! Geez. Who wears imported 'Miss Sixty' heels to school anyways…what a showoff…"

"Hmm?" Kyouko took a picture of Kaname's depressed face, "Well, Sagara-kun's going to pay her back right? So everything's fine then."

Kaname looked up, "Yeah, I suppose. But when is this guy going to get used to life here, anyways. It's driving me nuts!"

"Neh, Kana-chan, I know I've said this before, but even though you complain about Sagara-kun so much, you really like being around him." Kaname's head shot up, and she started sweating like crazy.

"M-Mah, Kyouko, what are you talking about!" She stuttered, "Sure he's a bit stupid, but he's still my friend, of course I would like being around him!" Kyouko stared, slightly suprised, and then put on an evil smile.

"But y'know, Kana-chan, you seem like you reeeaaaaaallly like being around him." She leaned in and stared Kaname in the eyes. "Reeeeeaaaaaaaallly like it." Kaname drew back, her face frozen in an awkward smile.

'Someone save me!'

Slam!

"Will you guys quite down?!" Kagurazaka-sensei slammed the door open. "I could hear the bunch of you from the teachers lounge!" She stormed in and smashed a file on to her desk, kicking the door closed. "Jeez, even though this class is already full of problems!" She glared directly at Sousuke and took a deep breath, regaining her calm. "Okay, okay, first things first. Today-"

Slam!

"Hey, guys!" Ono-D rushed in, "Did you know? There's supposed to be a new transfer student today!" He skidded to a halt at the sight of his now extremely agitated teacher.

"Uh...hey there...Kagurazaka...sen..."

Kagurazaka-sensei glared at Ono-D with the fury of a thousand suns, and with a quiet "excuse me...", the poor boy slunk to his seat. Kagurazaka-sensei took a deep breath, and let it out, forcing a smile onto her face.

"As I was saying until someone rudely barged into the classroom, we do have a new transfer student. He has come all the way from California to study with us, so please get along with him." She glared at Sousuke. "Sagara-kun!"

"Yes Ma'am!" Sousuke snapped to attention, while still in his seat.

"Please refrain from nearly killing our new friend this time, if you will."

"Understood!" Sousuke saluted, full of confidence, "I will ensure that the enemy is completely eliminated, leaving no chance for him to recover!" A vein popped in Kagurazaka-sensei's forehead, and she turned her attention to Kaname.

"Chidori-kun?" She asked politely, "May I ask that you keep Sagara-kun on a short leash so he doesn't kill the new transfer student?"

Kaname, who was hiding behind her briefcase, muttered a meek "Yes ma'am..." before sliding down her chair, using her desk as a refuge.

"Very well then! Let me call him in." She walked over to the door, and poked her head out. "Eh? Yukiochi-kun? Yuuukiiioooochiiiiiii-kuuuuun! Where did that boy go...." She came back in, and tapped her chin, perplexed. "Hmm, well, it seems he's run off somewhere. Did he need to use the restroom?"

"Well now, that's a bit rude, don't you think?" A voice in the back of the room piped up.

"True," Kagurazaka-sensei nodded in agreement, "he should have at least told me he was leaving..."

The same voice replied, "So impolite! Maybe you should chew him out a bit, let him know he can't push you around, just because he's a foreigner."

"Hmm, it sounds a bit harsh..."Kagurazaka-sensei furrowed her brows, thinking, "But I suppose I should scold him a bit."

"That's good." The voice sounded consent with her decision, "In fact, after you scold him, you should forgive him! It'll effectively assert your position as the teacher in the classroom, without creating a bad image for yourself."

"That's a wonderful idea!" Kagurazaka-sensei looked up, having reached a decision. "Thank you very much! I never knew we had such a bright student in this class, Mr..." She scanned the students for the speaker, her eyes falling on a figure leaning against the back wall, "Yukiochi-kun!" The speaker slowly walked towards the front of the classroom, throwing the befuddled teacher a lax, two finger salute before picking up a piece of chalk from the chalkboard. He was tall, had broad shoulders, and wore his brown hair in a ponytail. His jacket was unbuttoned, and he had a white cotton tank top underneath. The diamond studded earring he had in his right ear shone in the light, and his hands were wrapped in bandages, leaving only the fingers exposed. He rapidly started writing on the chalkboard, in large strokes, spelling out a name. As he wrote down the last stroke, he flipped the chalk into the air like a coin, and snatched it out again, slamming it into the holder.

"Name's, Yukiochi Akiyama! Good to meetcha!"
