Should I, should I knock? Ryūji Takasu stood right outside of his assigned classroom in St. Chronica's Academy in Tooyashi. Great... and when me and Taiga just started going out, we had to move... and once again, everyone is going to start to hate me... oh well... Here I go. Ryūji knocked on the door twice, and opened it, despite the fact that he was already late to his first day transferring.

Inside the classroom looked, for the most part, normal. There were students who were once looking at the board, but now focused on Ryūji. The teacher looked very slender and pretty, with charcoal black hair and beautiful hazel eyes, wearing a navy blue office dress. She looked a little concerned at the boy standing in the doorway. However, she already lost all interest in her lesson, making it seem like she wanted a distraction.

"May I help you?" The teacher inquired. Ryūji handed her the note from the admissions office, informing her of everything that she needed to know. "Ah... I understand. Class, we have another new member. Please introduce yourself." The teacher said to the classroom.

"Oh... Hi, I am Ryūji Takasu. Nice to meet you all." Ryūji said to the class, directly repeating what he said the last time he transfers. The class looked at him with ambivalence. Ryūji concentrated just a little to overhear what his would-be classmates were whispering.

"Another delinquent?"

"His... eyes... they're terrifying!"

"Is... Is there going to be a gang war?"

"A rival to... the other thug in our class..."

"Get his name before he kills us! His name is Kodaka, a name that truly inspires fear..."

"But this one... he looks scary too..."

"He was from Ohashi High, and people always thought of him as thug... he's not though... He's a good guy, if you could believe it."

Wait... someone here knows who I am? Ryūji started looking around the classroom. The teacher said... another new member. Someone must have transferred, but who? The teacher lightly tapped Ryūji's back.

"Um... you may have a seat in the back, next to... Haruta-kun was it? After all, you two seem to know each other." Ryūji's eyes widened. Kōji is here? So, here's where he transferred. I wouldn't ID him as a Catholic though... Ryūji walked towards the empty desk next Kōji's, and sat down. "Hey Takasu-kun! How've you been? Haven't seen you since... well... when you and Taiga were together." He said. More whispers sprang up from the classroom.

"He spoke to the thug? Is he crazy?"

"Maybe what he said was right..."

"I don't know, I still wouldn't trust him."

"But then again, I was expecting him to be killed already, but he's looks fine."

"Maybe this... Takasu isn't so bad..."

"You have no idea how happy I am that you're here. Seriously." Ryūji replied, completely ignoring Kōji and his intro. "Thanks, Haruta." Looking at him, he was scratching his long blue hair, and giving one of his signature wide grins that seems to always have on his face. "No problem, Takasu-kun. Don't say embarassing things like that though, okay?" They both chuckled.

"Okay class, back to the lesson..." The teacher started frowning, as if she was being tortured. "So, go back to page 495 in your textbook." Textbook? I didn't get mine yet, maybe if I... "Haruta, do you have a textbook?" Ryūji asked. He shook his head no. "I'm new too. I only came about two hours before you. Coincidence, isn't it?" "Yeah, it is. But... we still need to attend class so..." Ryūji said to Kōji. Figures. He's a good guy, but he isn't one for learning... Ryūji tapped the back of the person in front of him. The person turned around.

Ryūji began to ask him if he could borrow a textbook. "Um... excuse me. I was wondering if-"

"You... you're so... so lucky... lucky... bastard..." The person said coldly, and turned around. Whispers began again.

"The war is coming! We have to be careful!"

"This is the end, isn't it?"

"Why'd I have to be in this class, out of all other classes?"

"Tale shall be told of the ultimate gang war between Kodaka Hasegawa and Ryūji Takasu."
