SEASON 2

Episode 1: New Beginnings

"What an amazing outfit! Asa really outdid herself wearing that!" Rin laughed to himself as he walked back to his apartment. He felt his cheeks turn red as he pictured her in the waitress outfit again. He smiled and then looked at his watch. He smile quickly turned grim. "Oh crap!" It was nearly six-thirty and he had forgot about the 100 page report he had to turn in the next morning to Ms. B. "Damn! Now I'll never finish it in time!" Just then he was running by the Fuyou house where he quickly turned and ran to the door. "Kaede! Are you there?" he shouted as he knocked on the door. A young girl with blondish-yellow hair and a red bow in her hair opened the door. "What? Rin? What's the matter?" She answered looking a bit tired and rubbing her eyes. Rin couldn't get the words out of his mouth. He was looking nervous wondering why she just opened the door wearing only a towel. Suddenly, guys walking down the street saw them and started rushing toward them.

"TSUCHIMI! YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM US!", one guy from the front yelled out as they closed in. Not even thinking twice, Rin started running into the house, knocking Kaede over onto the floor. In the instance he got in shutting the door behind them, the two of them tripped over each other and Rin's head and back slammed into the floor with Kaede on top of him. "Ah Kaede are you okay?" he asked, his eyes stilled closed from the pain. "I think so…" he heard her mutter softly. His vision became clear and what he saw made his whole face fill up completely red. Kaede's towel had come undone just enough to where her breasts were laying softly on his chest. "Kaede!" he screamed. "What?" she answered, opening her eyes and suddenly noticing her exposed chest, let out a loud scream.

"I'm so sorry Kaede!" Rin said as he had his back to her. She had fixed her towel but was still feeling embarrassed at what she had unknowingly shown him. "It's all right. You don't need to apologize. It was an accident." Then her cheeks went red. "As long as it was you…and only you." Rin looked up surprised, wondering if he heard her correctly. "Kaede." She turned back to him. "Well just tell me one thing…" She asked, twiddling her fingers. "What did you think of them?" He really thought he should be used to this but apparently he wasn't. "Well…."He had to think hard about it. What should he say in this situation? "They were very soft and…looked very pretty." He then saw her embarrassment in her reaction. She quickly threw her arms over her breasts. "Really?" she asked. He just looked at her and then looked away. "Well its not like I was trying to look at them but….yes." She looked at him and suddenly ran toward her room upstairs.

Rin just stood there still picturing them in his head, then started shaking his head. "Come on Rin! Snap out of it. There just breasts. That's all. Besides, Kaede has been my friend since we were kids. She trusts me in seeing those." He started to go upstairs, but stopped. "Maybe I shouldn't. After that, How could I ask to borrow her notes from class today?" Just then as he started walking out the door, Kaede came back down the steps fully dressed, hair still somewhat wet. She saw him and asked, "Oh. Were you leaving? I thought you needed something." She looked sad like she did something wrong. He smiled. "Yeah, actually, I was hoping I could borrow your notes from school today. I need them for that assignment Ms. B gave me." He remembered her screaming face just then: "You've got a lot of nerve sleeping in my class Tsuchimi…..BECAUSE YOU OWE ME A 100 PAGE REPORT TOMORROW!" His face suddenly drooped. "How am I going to get that done when I have to wake up at 5am to deliver papers." They both laughed. "Well I can let you borrow my notes and if you want I can make you some fresh coffee hot in the morning." He smiles. "That would be great. Thank you Kaede." She smiled back. "You're welcome."

As she handed him the notes, Kaede and Primula both said goodbye to Rin. From there he raced home knowing he very little time to do the assignment already. "I guess I'm gonna have to pull an all nighter again. My life sucks!" Just then he pictured Kaede, Asa, and the other girls all cheering him on and he suddenly felt stronger. "No! I can do this! I know I can! There all there for me and with them backing me up…I know I can do anything!" He runs off into the night with the greatest amount of courage he's ever felt.

The next morning the school bell is ringing and Rin has his head down on the desk. "TSUCHIMI!" His head suddenly jerks up at the sound of what sounds like the A-bomb being dropped on Hiroshima. "DO I NEED TO GIVE YOU ANOTHER ASSIGNMENT?" No ma'am! Of course not!" Suddenly, Nerine jumps out of her seat. "Ms. B, Rins just been through a rough time. Hes had to get his own place and he almost lost someone close to him recently. Please don't be upset with him." Rin looked at her with surprise. "Well Rin, is that true?" Ms. B looked back at him. "Yes ma'am." Ms. B puts her hands on her hips. "Well okay Tsuchimi, in that case you can leave for today to get your affairs in order. But you better come back tomorrow well rested or ill make you run laps around the school." Rin nodded and looked back at Nerine as he walked out. She smiled and waved as if telling him your welcome.

He walked home rather quickly, really exhausted, dropping his stuff inside the door and collapsing onto his bed. He didn't even realize how quickly he fell asleep, or how abruptly he was going to woken up by someone he didn't expect to be in his house.
