Marie's POV, first person

What were they talking about? Haou? Yubel's powers? I was lost. I did know that I wasn't listening in on any normal conversation. (A/N: Um, the kid hadn't aged in ten years, that should be pretty obvious, Marie ^^') There was definitely some deep history between them, and I was determined to find out what happened. (A/N: ^^')

"I know that, Asuka," Judai answered, suddenly speaking up. A long silence settled over the two again.

"Oh, and my name isn't Asuka anymore, it's Miss Tenjouin. You better remember that I'm your teacher now," Miss Tenjouin said, laughing.

Judai laughed with her and added, "And you better remember that I sleep in class."

"Oh, don't worry, I'll have a special punishment just for you," Miss Tenjouin sneered.

"Please don't tell me you've turned into another Chronos-sensei!" Judai chuckled.

"Nobody could be as bad as that guy!" Miss Tenjouin replied. She stopped giggling and her face got serious again. "It's good to have you back, Judai."

"It's good to be back, uh, sort of."

"I just hope you can have a normal school life now."

"I hope so, too. It gets a little tiring to keep saving the world!" On that note, they both turned to re-enter the classroom. That was my cue to scuttle back the way I came. I slipped in unnoticed as Judai was going back to his seat and Miss Tenjouin was going back to her desk. All the other students were chattering excitedly.

The rest of the day passed normally, with Judai sleeping in class and Miss Tenjouin pretending to get mad at him. I really wondered how that kid slept so much. He slept in all the classes. That kind of made me wonder what he did at night...I didn't dwell on it too much.

I was so tired by the end of the day that I forgot to tell Mr. Thompson what I found out. Oh, well...
