School Days

By: Takeru's Lost Angel

 

 

Hikari skipped around her apartment enthusiastically as her husband continued to write the ending to his latest book. He had nearly choked on his dinner when he found out what Hikari had done to get her job. “Hika…” He whined while rubbing his head in concentration.

 

Hikari twirled a couple more times before sitting on Takeru's desk. “Yes, my love.” She whispered seductively.

 

Takeru rolled his eyes. “I need to concentrate; I have to finish this last chapter tonight! I have to get it to the editors by tomorrow.”

 

Hikari pouted. “Takeruuuuuu.” She whined. “Do you not want to spend some time with me, before I am totally dedicated to the education to these young minds?”

 

Takeru cocked a brow. “Is that all?”

 

Hikari frowned. “Well what about before I get fat?” She pointed out dryly, while pointing to her stomach.

 

Takeru frowned. “I guess I could end this book with Tai heading off to the real world with Koromon. This way I can talk to Taichi and get the real deal.” Takeru smiled pleased with his decision. He leant over to kiss his wife.

 

Hikari wrinkled her nose in repulsion. “Takeru that cologne you are wearing stinks! She covered her mouth in disgust. She leapt of the desk she was sitting on and ran to the bathroom.

 

“Hey! I am not wearing any cologne! It is that stupid soap you bought! Wait come back Hikari.” Takeru began grumbling to himself.

 

----*----*----*----*----

 

Hikari paced around her classroom rearranging the desks and placing them in test formation. She had now been back at the school for three weeks, and today was the start of the practice exams. These exams would take the week to complete; each day was dedicated to a different subject. The test would take two hours; once completed the tests would then be sent out to be graded. Once the exams are graded the results will be released, the purpose of the practice exams were to determine where the students strengths and weaknesses lay.

 

The warning bell rang signaling the start of the day. She waited anxiously for her students to enter the classroom. Slowly one by one the group arrived with less then excited faces. Hikari chatted nonchalantly as the class took their seats. She was just explaining the process of the exams when the classroom door slammed open.

 

“Akiyuki! You are late!” Hikari barked not even looking at the disgruntled teen.

 

Akiyuki wiped his lip clean from the blood that was trickling down. “Sorry.” He mumbled before taking the empty seat.

 

Hikari shook her head in frustration. “Honestly, how can you guys earn an education if you are not in class on time? I thought we discussed this at the beginning of the year.” Hikari marched down the aisle's slapping the exams on the desk.

 

Meitetsu gulped before addressing the sensei. “Takashi-sensei, Akiyuki would have been on time; but he got stopped by those teens. You know the ones that started the fight at the dance.”

 

Hikari narrowed her eyes towards Meitetsu. “Did I ask you to speak?” She snapped.

 

Katsu bit her lip in contemplation. She knew something was wrong, Takashi-sensei never behaved like this. She looked towards her left were Saori was sitting; who had the same awe stricken face as her. Katsu pushed her chair back and stood to face her teacher. “Takashi-sensei, you are being unreasonable!”

 

Hikari turned her attention towards the new voice who spoke out. Her face was tough and strong but softened when she looked at the young girl. Her hand flew towards her mouth in shock. She was acting as if she was infected by a dark spore. “Oh my.” She whispered as she backed towards her desk, tears beginning to fill her eyes.

 

The class exchanged looks with one another. One moment their teacher was screaming and next she was crying. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. No one moved everyone was too afraid; not one knew what to do.

 

“It is these damn hormones!” The young soon to be mother bellowed, as she buried her head in her arms.

 

“Hormones?” Asuna mouthed to the other girls in the classroom. It was in that instant that a light bulb went off in Asuna's head; she remembered that her mom saw her beloved teacher at her mom's baby shop. “Takashi-sensei's pregnant!” The girl blurted out, jostling everyone out of their thoughts.

 

The girls shrieked of joy while the male population of the class raised their eyes in skepticism.

 

“Oh Takashi-sensei, is it a girl?” Saori smiled as she strummed her fingers against the desk.

 

“Have you thought of a name?” Isa chimed in.

 

“Are you really having a baby?” Tsukimi questioned.

 

Hikari rubbed her temples in a circular motion. “Girls, girls; please calm down. Yes I am having a baby, no I do not know if it is a girl and no I have not thought of a name.” Hikari wiped her tear stricken face before further addressing her class.

 

“Please take out a pencil and eraser; read all of the questions carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Do not leave any blanks, you have two hours to complete the test; if you finish early please bring your notebook up and place it on my desk, you then may be excused. Remember tomorrow will be your language arts test. You may begin now.”

 

The classroom was silent as the test was taking place; Reiji was the only student to finish their test before the allotted time was over. Hikari had to practically tear the book away from Meitetsu who consistently begged to have five more minutes. The first day had been a success; Hikari had hoped that all of her time and effort had paid off and that her class would pass all of the practice exams.

 

The week was uneventful; each day was the same routine; come in, take test, go home. Hikari could not complain; it at least made her days short. It was now the waiting game; in a weeks time the test results would be back and then it would be cram time for the final exams.

 

-----*-----*-----*-----*------

 

It had been a week since the practice exams were taken and Hikari held the results in her hands. She contemplated how she should delivery the news. When she thought back when she first started, she thought it would be a miracle to have made it this far. She remembered clearly the lack of support and discipline this group of kids had; yet they held a special place in her heart.

 

She looked at the now brightly decorated walls and windows. She smiled proudly as the once bare and dirty walls which are now transformed into brilliantly decorated art work. However something still tugged at her heart. The major increase in school violence and vandalism; yes it could not be eliminated completely, yet one person in particular seemed to be in the middle of it all. Yet still, he would not let her know what was the cause this trouble.

 

In the past week alone Akiyuki had managed to receive two black eyes, three fat lips, and two stitches across his brow. She sighed inwardly as much as she respected Akiyuki's privacy she still felt that things were getting out of hand. She knew Wataru would never believe her that it was the other kids who started the fights, but she wanted to do more to protect them.

 

She remembered the speech that Takeru had given her at the beginning on the term, she remembered clearly how Taichi and Yamato fought constantly while in the digital world, and she could definitely remember the arguments between Takeru and Daisuke. She could not understand how it was a guy thing and that was why they fought. Maybe it was her soon to be motherly instincts that were making it hard for her to understand the logic between fighting. The bell rang, jostling the young teacher out of her thoughts.

 

The door slid open slowly as nervous looking teens wandered their ways through the classroom. Asuna approached Hikari's desk and placed a small parcel on her desk. Hikari looked at it skeptically before Asuna spoken. “My mom said that you should take these all natural herbs; it should help with morning sickness.”

 

Hikari smirked, she remembered Miyako trying to get Sora to try these `magical' herbs. Sora ended up getting even sicker. “You know Asuna bribing the teacher will not get you higher marks on your practice exams.”

 

“So Takashi-sensei, how did we do?” Fukashi asked while crumpling his coat into a pillow.

 

Hikari looked at the brown envelope in her hands. “I have not looked at the results yet.”

 

The class looked at her in shock. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THEM YET?” Akiyuki shrieked jumping out of his chair.

 

Hikari laughed. “Calm down Akiyuki, I did not think these marks mattered to you? Are you not the one who said you were not going to high school?”

 

Akiyuki sat back down in his chair slowly. “Oh you're right; who cares about school?” He said coolly while placing his legs on the desk in front of him.

 

Hikari rolled her eyes before tearing the envelope opened. The tension rose in the classroom, students began to squirm in their seats. Hikari carefully read over the results. “Oh…uh-huh…really…I see…oh that is not good….not to bad…okay…”

 

“Takashi-sensei! Stop toying with us and tell us the results!” Saori yelled becoming very impatient.

 

Hikari looked at her class solemnly and took a deep breath. “I have some very important news.” Her face was straight; the class was unable to detect its emotion.

 

“Is it good news?” Meitetsu questioned.

 

Hikari shook her head.

 

“Is it bad news?” Reiji asked, fearing for the worst.

 

Once again Hikari shook her head.

 

The class looked at their teacher dumbfounded. “Well what the hell type of news is it?” Akiyuki snapped.

 

Hikari broke out into a huge grin. “Excellent news!” The young teacher yelled. “Everyone passed their exams, however there is much work to be done.

 

“What do you mean? We all passed! What is there to possibly do? Meitetsu questioned.

 

Hikari rolled her eyes. “You may have all passed, but some of you need to work on certain areas, which mean more homework and lessons. Everyone take your notebooks out and let us begin.”

The class groaned before taking out their books and copying down the note on the board.

 

----*----*----*----*----*----

 

Hikari dragged Takeru through the department store. “We need this, and this, oh and we definitely need this.” Hikari began pulling baby supplies off the shelves and placing them in the cart. “Come on Takeru, there is so much we need.”

 

Takeru groaned while pushing the cart. “Did you just drag me here to push the cart?”

 

Hikari swatted at his arm. “Of course not! You have the shopping list!”

 

“Oh great, lucky me; not only do I get to push the shopping cart but I get to hold the all powerful shopping list.” He stated sarcastically, while following Hikari down yet another aisle.

 

“Takeru not only are you the carrier of the all powerful shopping list as you call it, but you get to assemble the baby furniture and paint the spare bedroom.”

 

“Great.” He mumbled.

 

“So, we need to clear out the spare bedroom, we can put everything in the closet in the office.” Hikari directed as she wandered towards the paint chips. She picked up a few potential colours. “Beige?” Takeru shook his head, she picked up another colour. “Yellow?”

 

“Nah.” He rummaged through the paint chips. “What about blue?”

 

“We can not do blue, it has to be a neutral colour. We have no idea if we are having a boy or girl.” Hikari pointed out, while picking up other colours.

 

“Why can we not just look at the file and know for sure.” He argued back.

 

“And ruin the surprise! Come on Takeru where is your sense of excitement?”

 

Takeru rolled his eyes. “What about green?”

Hikari smiled. “I like green.” Takeru smiled in return, now they could go home.

 

“Alright Takeru, time to…”

 

“Go home?” He interjected.

 

“No, look at baby furniture and accessories.”

 

“Sounds like fun!” He said sarcastically.

 

Author's Notes: Yes, it's short! Next chapter is much longer and much sweeter. There's about a month left at the school, so who knows what could happen in that month? Enjoy! Until next time keep writing! I'll give you guys a sneak peak! Just because I'm in an extra good mood!

 

Wataru placed a hand on the teachers back and ushered into her room. “Oh come now, I know we've had our differences, but I know you're good. You are one of the best teachers that I've got.” Wataru buttered up.

 

“You fired me.” She spoke icily.

 

“Oh that.” He said nonchalantly. “I was having a bad day. I didn't mean it really!” He laughed whole heartedly.

 

Hikari eyed the man skeptically. “What do you want?”

 

“I'm offering you a full time job.”
