My bad for delaying the next chapter... hopefully by next week I will update my KHR fics, PA is with my beta already and I am waiting... nobody get paid for writing fic or beta fic so just be patient and we will try our best!
Hopefully by this weekend I finish ROTS next chap and sent it to Alia ^^
ps: I would suggest you read "Yamada Tarou no Monogatari" in mangafox before you read this :) you can enjoy it without reading though. You can just see them as OCs then, there is no need to read the manga it's just a suggestion.
Basically Yamada Tarou is a handsome student that perfect in looks and brain, good personality too... everyone is under impression he is a rich kid but actually he is freaking poor. Torii-sensei is dedicated sensei, who is fidgety and kind, She is one of few people who knows Tarou is poor and strife to help him to get into a good university with hilarious connection with one of the university professor.
More or less this is the gist and Tsuna... happen to be around and involved in Torii-sensei's martyr effort to get Tarou a good university.
Nokoru I mentioned in this omake is Clamp's, this boy is famed for his sense of justice for woman. A young gentleman but not quite a casanova since he never play with maiden's heart. So when Tsuna run into woman's trouble is no wonder he hope this boy is around.
Enjoy the show
Being the Student Council President is 'almost' as hard as being a Mafia Boss.
Tsuna, for the hundredth time since he became the President of this school, wondered how he could be roped into this position. If he was not the president he would not be in this situation, nor would the whole school have become his responsibility. Not as bad as what happened in memory of Vongola Decimo, where he was in charge of a giant crime organization, but still bad nonetheless. At times like this he really felt he had been hoodwinked by the Imonoyamas, and wanted nothing but to escape from his office.
"Hic… hic "
Though it was next to impossible for him to escape, his moral code would never allow him to leave people in hardship alone if he could help it.
"Sensei…"
In front of him was a teacher in her late twenties with long, black hair, dark gray eyes, and fair skin, crying her eyes out. She was a beautiful half-Chinese woman who was dressed in a long chinese dress, her hair in a ponytail, and oval shaped glasses, giving her a prim and proper look. Her bawling, however, ruined that image of 'stern woman'. Tsuna was staying a bit late after school to finish some paperwork when, suddenly, a high school teacher barged into his office, bawling her eyes out and crying for help.
"Torii-sensei." Tsuna offered a third tissue box to the crying woman who accepted it after she threw the other one in the nearest trash bin. "Please…" He was seriously pleading, because… "You have been crying for the last hour already Torii-sensei. Please calm down and stop crying… it tires you. How about you rest in the infirmary for now and we will talk again later?" he offered as he smiled at the crying female teacher; he needed a break from this!
"B-bu-but." she stuttered nervously. "I need… hic... to tell you now…" She sobbed again, "Sawada-kun… hic hic…"
Tsuna face palmed, he had tried to get her to tell him what she wanted for the past hour but she just kept crying! "Torii-sensei, that's what you said an hour ago." He pointed out genially, "But you see…" He trailed off, "You are in no condition to tell me, and delaying this conversation for a few hours or maybe til tomorrow will help you." Tsuna suggested kindly, mentally adding and me too. "My office's door is always open for those in need." Not that he could close it even if he wanted to, his responsibility jammed the door anyway.
Torii-sense sniffed as she wiped off her tears, "No Sawada-kun." She gulped, "I will say it now."
Tsuna sighed mentally in relief, finally… "So what is it, Torii-sensei?"
She fidgeted nervously in her seat, "I feel a little uncomfortable taking your time to discuss this with you Sawada-kun, you are in Junior High while I am a teacher in Senior High School."
"You already told me that too." Tsuna reminded her gently, and she froze on her spot again.
"Gomen nasai! Gomen nasai!" She bowed down repeatedly.
The brunette smiled sheepishly, "I don't mind Torii-sensei, I am the one in charge of this school." He pointed out loftily, "From Kindergarten to Senior High, all are under my jurisdiction." Much to his displeasure, unfortunately. It still baffled him how no students from the Senior High School uttered a word of protest that a Junior High School student governed them. Why did the headmaster set those very high qualifications to be a Student Council member anyway?
"Ah… well then." Thankfully, Torii-sensei managed to gather her wits once again. "It's about Yamada Tarou."
Tsuna felt like he wanted to bang his head on the nearest wall, Yamada Tarou was the last student he thought would be the cause of Torii-sensei's dilemma. Tsuna never singled out any student but Yamada Taro was a special case. The boy was ranked first in all exams, in short he was top student of Namimori Senior High School. He, by all rights as the holder of the top score slot, was supposed to be the president for the Senior High Division but…
"You know about his condition?" Torii-sensei asked timidly.
"I know." Of course he knew, he had investigated it personally. He had no idea how the whole school could have such a crazy imagination about Yamada Tarou, that he was a sophisticated rich boy with a humble upbringing. In fact… "Students of this school, according to our rules, are not allowed to do part time jobs outside of the working place that's owned by the Imonoyama family." Tsuna explained, "I gave him special permission." Which was quite easy for him to obtain from the headmaster.
"Oh… thank you very much Sawada-kun" Torii-sensei sighed sadly, sniffing slightly. "His family is very poor."
Tsuna rolled his eyes mentally, the poor part was an understatement to the point that it was so real it's surreal. Tsuna, Gokudera and Yamamoto had dropped their jaws close to the ground at the sight of the wooden house they thought was built in the second world war era. The tattered door that would fall any second and the rumored rich boy perched on the roof, waiting for the paint on the roof to dry. His siblings were littered all over the house, doing laundry, weeding their small field, wiping their broken window, etc. It was a very pitiful sight that even got Gokudera on the brink of tears.
"Ah yes… I offered him our financial help but Yamada-san refused because of his life principle to never borrow money he can't return." Tsuna sighed at the memory, the older boy was very stubborn and Tsuna was almost on the verge of forcing him to accept the money.
Torii-sensei's eyes widened, "You did?"
Tsuna nodded, "He refused to take the money but in the end he accepted the fifty kilos of rice every month." Strangely the boy never refused food, he still remembered how the Yamada family were literally sparkling at the sight of the cakes Kyoko and Haru brought for them. "Our green house also supplies them with vegetables and fruits, then again Yamada-san is working there from time to time so it's a result of his labor too."
"Ah…"
"By all rights, he is suppose to be the Kaichou for Senior High Division." Torii-sensei nodded in agreement, "But his circumstances didn't allow him, so here I am… the Kaichou of the entire gakuen." Tsuna explained with a sigh, "Anyway Torii-sensei, if it's his finances you are worried about, I have tried to help him. Yamada-san refused everything but food."
Torii-sensei shook her head, "On his behalf and as his homeroom teacher I can't thank you enough Sawada-kun!" She bowed again; Tsuna was too tired to ask her to not bow, not to mention it would probably fall on deaf ears. "But I come because Yamada-kun… he… doesn't want to advance to college."
Tsuna raised an eyebrow, so this is what Torii-sensei was so upset about? She was a dedicated teacher, and an elite student like Yamada, to not advance upset her so. "Well… I can guess why he won't…" Tsuna stated loftily, "But Torii-sensei, what can I do for you? You are a teacher, and with this school's reputation you can easily find a scholarship for Yamada-san." Tsuna pointed out. "Even Tokyo University is not impossible for Yamada-san."
"I told him that but…" Torii-sensei trailed off, "He doesn't want to teach to pay back for his scholarship because it will take most of his time away from home, he also doesn't want to live in the university, and he wants to keep working part-time…" She listed on sadly.
The brunette rubbed the bridge of his nose, "How about Clamp university?" He asked, "It has the same policy as our school and I can relay a message to Headmaster so Yamada-san can get special privileges."
"A school that can't be reached by bike won't do." Torii-sensei explained with tears in her eyes. Clam Gakuen was in Tokyo, that was at least ten stops by train from Namimori.
Tsuna was really tempted to pull his hair at this point, "Well then, what you want me to do Torii-sensei?"
She fidgeted again nervously, "Ano…" The dark haired teacher mumbled, "You know that Namimory College is under construction so is it… possi-"
Tsuna cut her off, "I am Student Council President, not a miracle worker Torii-sensei." Sometimes he wondered why even the teachers thought he could do anything in this school. "The college won't be open for another two years, and there's nothing I can do about it."
She looked down sadly, and Tsuna was baffled. She really thought he could help with that? "Oh…"
He sighed wearily, his hands raised in a placating gesture. "Now now… Torii-sensei, Yamada-san will not agree to attend any university in regards to his family so unless you can convince him the school could benefit his family in the long run it would be pointless…" Tsuna explained, and the older woman's eyes lit up at that, pressing Tsuna to continue. "He has interest in biotechnology and agriculture because his biggest concern is feeding his family." So pitiful and touching, but admirable in Tsuna's opinion. Most teenagers would have run away from the Yamada household if they were in his shoes. "Do you know any university in Namimori that offer these majors?
The older woman suddenly went deep in thought for a few minutes, and then her face became paler and paler and took a sick shade of green. "Ah…"
"Torii-sensei?" Tsuna asked worriedly. Was it something he said?
"In the end…" She sobbed, her lips quivering.
He paled, she wouldn't burst into tears again, would she? Where was Nokoru when you needed him? Women are Nokoru's forte not his!
"Jounan is the only one!" She sobbed but didn't burst into tears yet, but she was about to from how her eyes were glassy with tears.
Tsuna smiled, trying to ease the crying woman. "That's great, Jounan is a good university. Their agriculture and biotechnology major second only to Yezo Uiversity in Hokkaido." Though sending Yamada-san to the former was never recommended, Tsuna thought grimly. "Their scholarship also fits with Yamada-san's preferred criteria and I am sure our school can arrange something to smooth things out." He offered genially.
The last part got Torii-sensei to quiet down, she looked shocked for some reason. "Smooth things out?"
Tsuna nodded slowly, "I am uncomfortable to tell you outright but since you are a sensei, I am sure you know our school," Tsuna's forefinger tugged something in the air, "can pull some strings for their students? Always?" He asked unsurely, "The Imonoyamas loves their students…"
Her jaw dropped to the floor and she quickly put it back, thankfully the floor was very clean. "So… I don't have to…"
Tsuna's eyes perked up at that and he leaned closer to hear what the absentminded teacher was about to say. "I don't have to… sell…" Tsuna raised an eyebrow, what did Yamada-san's university have to do with her selling something? "I don't have to sell my body…" Tsuna's eyes went wide. Did he hear that one right? "I don't have to sell my body to Nakahara-senpai!" She exclaimed happily in tears, looking at him as if he was some sort of Messiah.
The esteemed Kaichou fell on the floor loudly at the revelation, she was about to do what? "Thanks goodness!" She cheered.
Tsuna stood up, eyes wide with panic. "Sensei, what was that supposed to mean?" The next thing he knew he was enveloped in a tight hug by a bawling Torii-sensei.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you Sawada-kun! I owe you my life! You saved me!" She cheered, thanking every God above for sending Sawada-kun to earth. She stood up, dusting non-existent dirt from the Kaichou's shoulders. "Now I can go to Yamada-kun's house to tell him the good news."
"Erm sensei, I think you still have to explain about…" Tsuna trailed off, that selling your body part. Their school would be in an uproar if that one got out to the public! Not to mention the board governor would be furious!
"Oh! What should I bring for those children! Pudding? Cakes?" She wondered out loud, "I should hurry! The cake shop will close in twenty minutes!"
"Sensei, I think…" Tsuna tried again.
Torii-sensei turned around then bowed deeply to him, deeper than appropriate for a sensei to a student. Tsuna was speechless, "Thank you very much! Sawada-kun, I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me and Yamada-kun!" I have done nothing… just telling you our school policy, you should know either way… Tsuna thought. And being in the middle of his thoughts Tsuna was barely aware the sensei was already excusing herself with another bow and rushing out of his office, leaving him standing there like an idiot.
"Ah!" he exclaimed in shock, "Wait Torii-sensei! Please come back!" Tsuna pleaded helplessly.
Three days later Tsuna found out that Torii-sensei's senpai was one of the eccentric professors of Jounan who had been in love with her since they were in college. Thankfully the man was just eccentric, if not a little blind because of love. Asking Torii-sensei to sell her body in exchange for Yamada-san's scholarship was just his unique way to court Torii-sensei. The man had not done anything criminal other than freaking Torii-sensei out with his creepiness. The man eerily reminded him a little of a certain illusionist, and almost as creepy. No wonder Torii-sensei avoided him like the plague despite his handsome face. Tsuna didn't know what to comment when, three months later, Torii-sense was spotted wearing an engagement ring, it seemed Nakahara-hakase one way or another managed to court the fidgety sensei after all.
Tsuna soon found himself almost regretting helping Torii-sensei when he came to visit the High School teacher's office, Hayato and Takeshi were ecstatic especially the former because teachers in this school were paying Tsuna the respect he deserved. He had a feeling he will have teachers from the High School Division coming to his office soon, not to mention next year Hibari would be in high school.
Oh the headache… what was the councilor of this school doing anyway? Is it allowed to take a vacation for months like this? Tsuna wondered.
Tsuna didn't know that their esteemed councilor was taking a long deserved vacation in Namimori Hospital since the start of school year after he tried to counsel Hibari Kyoya. The said prefect had threatened the hospital director to keep quiet about it and the news never reached the ears of a certain Kaichou. As far as Hibari was concerned, Sawada Tsunayoshi did a much better job than that herbivorous meddling councilor who tried to redeem his carnivorous attitude. And Imonoyama Reika was more than happy to pay the hospital fee and other compensation, because watching as Sawada Tsunayoshi counselled the whole school was very interesting.
Review please!
There you go, hopefully you can hold on with this for now dear readers!
