That morning when Yankumi came in, the class was surprised to not be greeted by her.

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Yuki asked Ryu worriedly. He simply shrugged to her as the other guys exchanged looks. Yuki decided to ask since they were just wondering and not doing anything. "Yankumi-sensei, what's wrong?" Yuki jumped as Yankumi began to cry dramatically while embracing herself in a ball position.

"Nothing is wrong!" She cried. "I'm perfectly happy see?" Yankumi looked up and bared her teeth at them, causing the guys to scream or just back.

"You look horrible!" Hayato commented, earning a slap on the head from Yuki. Ryu sighed at his teacher and bent down to her level.

"Yankumi," Ryu said. "We're not kindergarteners, we can see you crying." Everyone stood there awkwardly as Yankumi dragged the poor boy to the ground and sobbed out of control into his shirt. As sad as her teacher seemed, Yuki couldn't help but giggle at the scene of Ryu struggling to get up, but looked like he was getting molested.

"After you guys graduate I'm going to be fired!" Yankumi blurted out, causing protests from everyone in the class.

"But you're such a great teacher!" Okuma, a boy eating, yelled as he continued stuffing his face. Kosuke stood up and slammed his hand on a desk. "This school needs a teacher like you though!" Everyone continued yelling for about ten minutes while Ryu and Yuki sat next to Yankumi, rubbing her back. Soon everyone tried to suggest ideas for their teacher.

"Well it's not hard to find part time jobs," Kosuke said. "You can be a tutor!" Another boy called up, "Or teach cram school." However Hayato then announced a secret of Yankumi's secretly.

"Why don't you just take over your family business?" Hayato asked absentmindedly. "You're the fourth generation." Yankumi, Ryu, and Yuki immediately whipped their heads to Hayato's comment as everyone else began asking what it was. It was then Hayato realized his mistake and began to cower against the wall, pleading Yankumi for forgiveness and that he didn't mean to let it slip. Ryu smirked while Yankumi stuttered, trying to explain. Glaring at him, Yankumi pretended to blow a poison dart at Hayato, who in turn pretended to be suffering from it, and ended up making Yuki giggle.

"What is it?" Tsucchi asked her.

"You're asking me?" Yankumi repeated panicking. "What was it again?" Hayato finally recovered from his shock and ran over to the group as Yuki tried to save them.

"Hayato-kun! You know why she can't take over the business!" Yuki pretended to scold him. Hayato and Ryu looked at her confused, trying to figure out where she was going. "Yankumi's family business has been bad lately, they're closing it down in a week!" Yankumi vigorously nodded, trying to make the other students buy the story.

"It's true," Ryu added. "The only ones there last time were Yuki, the workers, and me." The guys stopped caring for Yankumi's family business and started randomly blurting out suggestions again. Yuki and Ryu pulled Hayato to the side.

"You need to be more careful," Ryu warned. "Think before you talk." Hayato nodded nervously.

"Ryu's right," Yuki chimed in. "What would you have said if I didn't come up with that story?"

"Soba joint?" Hayato suggested with a laugh. The two shook their heads at their leader and went to their seats to chat while Yankumi talked about part time jobs again.

The next day Yankumi came in, Yuki smiled seeing their teacher bright and cheery again."

"Good morning guys!" Yankumi greeted, earning greetings back from the class. "Tsucchiya! Omori! Kojiyama! Hamaguchi! Be happy. Joyful company is allowing you to interview for work!" The four guys jumped up in joy as their friends congratulated them."

"Joyful Company is the one for the game arcade right?" Kosuke asked with a grin.

"Which means you can play as much games as you want!" Takeda chimed in. Yuki giggled, knowing that's just the job Tsucci would love.

"Congratulations you guys!" Yuki cried and clapped her hands. She sat back down next to Ryu as he chuckled.

"No it's not," Ryu commented.

"But I have no confidence for an interview!" Omori cried.

"We're having practice interviews starting today!" Yankumi announced, earning confusion from the class. Tsucchi, Omori, Kojiyama, and Hamaguchi were then forced outside by Yankumi as she made everyone else move desks around to set up the setting for things. "Mr.Tsucchiya, Mr. Omori, Mr.Kojiyama, and Mr.Hamaguchi, please enter." Tuscchi came in looking tough and fanning himself. "Tsucchiya, don't fan yourself." Tsucchi looked at her annoyed, but continued doing so. "Mr. Kojiyama, no hats." Kojiyama grabbed his hat as if saying 'the hat stays!' "Omori, last person closes the door."

"Huh?!" Omori chellenged. "Man, you're annoying."

"Hamaguchi, you can't wear your glasses," Yankumi chastised, ignoring Omori. He angrily pulled his glasses off, surprising Yankumi. "He's got round eyes surprisingly." Yuki giggled as she leaned into Ryu more. "Tsuchiya, why do you want to work for us?"

"Because Yankumi encouraged us," Tsucchi announced cluelessly, causing Yuki to slap her head.

"Tsucchi," Yuki called. "You need to say something else. Like, 'I heard Joyful Company is a highly respected organization, and I know I can evolve into a man because of your amazing company.' Or I'm experienced at games so I would be perfect for this job.'" She blushed as most of the guys stared at her as if she grew a second head. Ryu chuckled at her reaction and decided to help.

"She means, make it sound like it's something you want," Ryu translated. "And sound a bit more mature." The guys said "Oh..." in usison until they realized Ryu basically called them immature and yelled protests at him. He simply shrugged them off.

"Then I'll say... 'I'm great at a gay-cen(Short for game center)'" Tsucchi suggested and fanned himself proudly.

"No!" Yankumi rejected and looked like she was about to cry. "Don't say gay-cen!" She wrote something down on her paper before continuing. "Mr.Omori, please tell us your favorite saying." Everyone leaned in to hear something intelligent from the blond student.

"Favorite saying?" He asked and thought for a bit. "No, I don't think I have one. Maybe, money?" His reply caused the others except Ryu to lose their balance and nearly fall over.

"That's not what I asked," Yankumi replied, annoyed. "I meant a proverb or maxim."

"What the heck is that?" Omori asked frustrated and kicked the ground.

"Oh!" Kojiyama's sudden shout caught their attention. "Like, 'It's good to fight!" Others began agreeing and yelling their own favorite sayings as they got less intelligent each time.

"Are you guys trying to make fun of me?!" Yankumi demanded as she slammed her hand on the desk again and stood up. Ryu, Hayato, Takeda, and Kosuke rushed to Yankumi's side to hold her back as Omori, Kojiyama, and Hamaguchi grabbed Tsucchi. Yuki ran in between them and pushed them back. Yankumi began yelling at them as Ryu stopped the commotion with a simple suggestion.

"Why don't you just show us how it's done?" Ryu asked.

"Yeah, we've never been interviewed before," Hayato added.

"Yuki-chan! You should do it too!" Takeda suggested.

"Yeah Yuki-san!" Yankumi chimed. "We're the only two who've even done anything like this before." Yuki nervously shook her head as Yankumi dragged her out the door with her. Ryu gave her a sympathetic look but smirked at how cute she was.

"Why was I dragged into this?" Yuki whined outside.

"Don't worry!" Yankumi said a little too enthusiasticlally. "Let's show those boys how it's done!" Yuki looked down.

"Enter!" Hayato ordered.

"Fighto-OH!" Yankumi yelled and pushed the door open. "Excuse me." Yuki's heart rate sped up as she closed the door and felt eyes on her. Yankumi and Yuki froze at the door when they saw what the guys had on. Hayato had ed a few bottons at the top of his shirt and wore reading glasses while Takeda, Tsucchi, and Kosuke wore glasses with mustache. Yuki couldn't help but snicker when Kosuke wiggled his eyebrows and smiled. Tsucchi made her begin to laugh when he smiled dumbly while fanning himself. However she noticed there was an untouched pair of glasses on Ryu's desk as his gaze stayed on her. He decided to make her nervous by his lips seductively as Yuki sat down next to Yankumi, causing Yuki to blush all shades of red.

"Alright, bring it on," Yankumi challenged. Yuki's lip quivered as she looked back up at Ryu.

"This isn't a fight," Ryu chuckled and caused Yankumi to relax a bit.

"And you aren't supposed to be checking out one of the interviewers," Takeda teased. Yuki looked back down blushing as the guys hooted.

"Why do you want to work here at Kurogin academy?" Hayato asked. Yankumi replied with so much words that it made Yuki's head and many others spin.

"What language are you talking?!" Hayato damanded angrily and everyone turned to Yuki for her reply.

"I'd like to work here because not only can I teach the students, but the students can teach me valuable lessons also," Yuki made up. The guys clapped for her, causing Yankumi to complain.

"My answer was much more intelligent!" Yankumi pointed out. "How come you didn't clap for me?"

"Because we actually understood what she said," Tsucchi pointed out.

"Isn't it bad to compete with each other?" Ryu asked and Yankumi nodded and sat back down.

"Who do you respect the most?" Tsucchi asked.

"My grandfather who took care of me as a parent," Yankumi answered. Yuki looked at everyone with a pout as she realized she couldn't think of anything. Yuki would've said Ryu, but then she knew they would get teased from it.

"Well then let's have your measurements," Kosuke joked, trying to lighten the mood when he noticed Yuki's nervousness, but ended up making it worse. Ryu glared over at his erted friend.

"Well starting from the top, 95-58-88," Yankumi lied. "REALLY?!" A student from the back accused. "Why do you have to ask that question?!" Yankumi asked offended.

"You shouldn't lie," Ryu stated. Yankumi nodded her head again with a pout as Yuki shook her head, indicating that she didn't want to answer.

"Well," Takeda started. "Do you have  a boyfriend?"

"Yes," Yuki replied smiling, knowing she didn't have to worry about that one. Ryu smiled back at her as everyone gave looks to Ryu.

"I have someone I like," Yankumi confessed. "But it's not going well with him."

"We didn't ask for such details," Ryu commented again, causing Yankumi to glare at them.

"Don't ask such questions!" Yankumi yelled and stood up from her chair.

"Tsucchi," Yuki said. "Your picture looks too scary, I think you'll scare them and they won't hire you." They had gone to a nearby cafe after school to help Tsuchi with his resume, but the picture he chose for it had him growling, not something an interviewer would like.

"I don't want to be looked down on," Tsucchi stated.

"I don't think this works," Kosuke laughed as he pointed to the picture.

"I understand what you mean, but..." Ryu's voice trailed off. Takeda pulled out a tiny picture from his pocket and handed it to Tsucchi.

"Here use this one we took recently," Takeda chimed. Tsucchi replaced his tough looking picture with Takeda's, but everyone stared at it with disbelief. The picture was of Tsucchi and Takeda, which wasn't good since there should be only Tsucchi. What made it worse was that there were hearts all over the picture.

"Take-san," Yuki said, trying to think of how to say it. "I think this is better if you were taking it with Maki-san."

"In other words," Ryu said. "It makes Tsucchi seem...crooked if you know what I mean." He leaned back and put an arm around Yuki's waist and held her hand on the other side. Seeing their sad faces, Yuki quickly waved her hands.

"Why don't we just go take a picture now?" Yuki suggested, and their faces brightened up again. The group left the cafe and searched for a photo booth. Even though there was only one thing they were searching for, they ended up being distracted by other things like the arcade and girls. Ryu and Yuki had to drag them away and remind them about the photo booth. They finally found one and Tsucchi took a few just in case he didn't like the others. As the guys helped Tsucchi choose the perfect picture, Yuki pulled on Ryu's arm.

"Ryu-kun, can we take some pictures of us?" Yuki requested. She realized they hadn't took many pictures of themselves since they became official on Valentine's Day.

"Let's go then," Ryu replied and put in some money. For the first picture, Yuki and Ryu formed half a heart with their hands and placed them together, with their faces in the middle. Yuki's face was smiling brightly, and even though Ryu's smile was small, Yuki knew he was really happy doing things like this with her. For the second picture, Yuki put both her arms around Ryu and he used one hand to poke her cheek on the other side as Yuki pouted cutely and Ryu was sticking his tongue at her. She had wanted one where they seemed cute like that, so Ryu agreed to do so. The third picture had Yuki making a cute pose and smiling sweetly while Ryu did her pose and stared at her lovingly with a smile. Although it wasn't planned, Yuki still loved that picture because it showed the love in his eyes. Their fourth picture had Ryu sitting and smiling at the camera while Yuki laid her head on his chest. Simple, but still a sweet picture. The fifth picture was Yuki's favorite. Ryu had said to just do a regular one where they just smiled at the camera. Yuki nodded and put up a bunny sign while smiling. Ryu wrapped an arm around her and smiled at the camera also. However right at the last two seconds, Ryu moved her head towards him and kissed her right when the camera snapped a picture. When Yuki looked at the pictures, she blushed at their last one. Ryu's eyes were closed in the kiss while Yuki sat there wide-eyed and blushing.

"From now on," Ryu said, grabbing her attention. "We'll take more pictures so we can store all our memories okay?" Yuki nodded her head vigorously and giggled. Ryu sent her a smile that could make any girl melt and kissed her one last time before they walked out of the photo booth.

"Finally!" Hayato exclaimed. "Why were you two in there for so long? Making babies?" His joke caused Yuki to blush and deny it while Ryu jokingly punchd his friend in the arm.

"Let's go!" Takeda cried happily. "Let's go celebrate Tsucchi's interview! We got his picture."

"No one celebrates an interview," Ryu stated. Yuki pouted and poked his cheek.

"Ryu-kun!" Yuki whined cutely. "It's hard for a student from 3D to even get this chance, so it's an exception for us."

"Then let's go karaoke!" Takeda suggested excited.

"Okay, then let's go!" Hayato cried pumped up. Ryu walked hand in hand with Yuki as they followed the guys.

"Wait, where's Tsucchi?" Yuki asked when she noticed he was no longer with them. "There." Ryu's voice made them trail their eyes to where he was looking. Tsucchi was with five guys from another school. "It looks like they're about to fight," Yuki said worriedly.

"You guys trying to find work too?"

"What's wrong with that?" Kosuke challenged as he glared at the leader.

"Working? Are you guys stupid?" The leader taunted and ripped Tsucchi's resume.

"Why don't you stop it?" Hayato threatened and grabbed him by the collar. Ryu pushed Yuki behind him and stepped up.

"Stop it," Ryu ordered. "Don't pay attention to these knd of guys." His comment angered the guys from Todoroki as the guys walked up in Hayato's face, causing him to throw the first punch and bringing them to fighting.

"Stop it you guys!" Yuki yelled as she tried pulling the guys off each other. Ryu also tried stopping the fight, but had to dodge the blows thrown at him also. "Yah!" She screamed as she and another Todoroki student were thrown next to some business men. "I'm sorry!" She apologized and got back to trying to pull them apart.

"Man what's with high school kids nowadays?" The man asked annoyed as he and his partner left. Yuki paid no attention to them as she was trying to duck from an incoming kick.

"Stay away from her!" Ryu cried and threw the guy a few feet away. He kept Yuki behind him and took incoming blows to protect her. Yuki watched as Ryu ended up having to punch a couple times to keep them away, but she was glad he didn't punch unless it was necessary. Of course in the end, Hayato led the guys to victory as the Todaroki students ran away. Yuki made sure she pressed down on their bruises while applying the medicine to punish them for doing something for stupid. Ryu was the only one she was gentle with since he tried to avoid as much violence as possible.

"Why didn't you push down on his wounds?" Hayato complained. Yuki glared at him before throwing him a tissue for his nose.

"Because he didn't try to fight," Yuki replied. "Unlike you guys, Ryu tried to not resort to violence. You need to be smarter about your decisions. It's not simple as saying 'I'll take responsiblity.' You're almost graduates, so act a bit more mature!"

"You're getting really annoying!" Tsucchi yelled at her as he stood up. "Stop trying to act like Yankumi." He fanned himself as he walked away. Takeda gave her a sad smile before leaving also.

"You heard those guys," Kosuke stated. "Yet you say we shouldn't have fought." He turned and went his own way after.

"I'm the leader for Kurogin," Hayato muttered to her. "If I didn't do that, they'll look down on us and say I'm a weak leader. Understand that."His cold response sent Yuki into tears after he headed for his house. Ryu hugged her, whispering sweet comforts into her ear.

"Thank you for being mature, Ryu," Yuki cried softly into his chest. He looked at her as if she should be disappointed at him.

"But I punched them a few times also," Ryu replied.

"That's true, but you didn't do it like them," Yuki pointed out. "You only did it to protect me." Ryu pulled her into a tighter hug as her cries got softer.

"Don't cry anymore, I don't like it when you're sad," Ryu cooed. "You're my heart and right now it's in pain. Smile for me okay?" Yuki smiled softly at his sweet words and looked up at him. Ryu grinned and poked her dimple, causing her to smile bigger. He held her chin and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

"Aww what a sweet couple!" Some by-passers commented as they watched the two. "I wish I had a boyfriend like that!" A girl said. Yuki smiled into the kiss as she heard that.

"That's too bad for her," Ryu commented, breaking the kiss. "I only belong to you." Yuki tried to hide her smile but her dimples appeared, causing Ryu to smile. He kissed her dimples on both sides before the two walked home, forgetting about the drama just a few minutes ago.
