The curtains suddenly got pulled aside, letting the morning sunlight flushed into the dark room causing the sleeping figure on bed to cringe and pulled the cover over her head. "Five more minutes…" comes a muffled murmured under the cover. "Ara, ara… Mikoto-han, it's already late and you should get going. The principle can be very scary if you come late," a sweet Kyoto-ben accent filled the bedroom. "Oh snap!" the young girl in bed sitting straight up and thrown the cover off with her eyes wide. "Natsuki and I are heading off to our honeymoon, and we're thankful that Mikoto-han was kind enough to sub her class in her absent." Fujino Shizuru said clapping her hands together smiling her oh so charming smile.

Minagi Mikoto, twenty-two years old and a graduate student from Tokyo U with a master degree in IT and a bachelor degree Physical Education. She was supposed to start working for her family's business but with the wedding of her cousin, Mikoto was left with little choice but to sub so that her cousin could go on a honeymoon with her wife. Scrambling out of bed, Mikoto quickly washed her face and got ready for work fairly fast. Grabbing the keys and the helmet, Mikoto downed her breakfast and rushed out the door.

"I think Natsuki is giving my dear cousin her habits," Shizuru said as she took a sip of her tea while the latter just blushed. "That's it, forget the honeymoon." Kuga Natsuki said grumpily at her wife. "Kuga Natsuki, say that again…" Shizuru said as something very disturbing flashed in her crimson eyes. "N-nothing, honeymoon… I can't wait…" Natsuki replied quickly sweating already.

Weaving in and out of traffic on her Suzuki GSX-R600 motorcycle, Mikoto managed to make it to Fuuka Gakuen ten minutes before class started. "Minagi-san, I expected for you to be here ten minutes ago with a plan for today's class." Suzushiro Haruka Gauken-cho shouted or rather said in her usual booming voice. Mikoto stuck her fingers in her ears to keep them from bleeding, while the principle went on about how reckless is it to drive to school on a two-wheel hunk of metal.

"Suzushiro-san, she will be late if you keep on lecturing her." Kikukawa Yukino, the Vice Principle said meekly trying to calm the woman with tousle blonde hair down. "Okay, but you show her where she's supposed to be. I don't trust her since she's related to that babazuke," Haruka murmured grumpily. "Excuse us then," Yukino give a slight bow at the blonde and headed out. "Later Haruka-chan," Mikoto said waving at the principle who was fuming red cursing at her.

"Don't mind her, Mikoto-chan. Haruka-chan is always like that and will never admitted to anyone that deep down she's really happy about their wedding," Yukino said softly as they walked down the hall drawing some attention on them. "I'll have to tolerate her since I love you too much," Mikoto joked and got a nice blush from Yukino in return. "I wish I'd meet you sooner, I would definitely ask you to marry me by now." Mikoto said with a serious face all of a sudden. "You're such a tease…" Yukino blushed a shade darker as they stopped in front of a classroom. She took in a deep breath to recompose herself before sliding the door open to the rowdy students within. "They're all yours," Yukino said as she avoid from entering the classroom. She knew too well there are enough delinquents in this class that only Natsuki could handle them. "Um, thanks?" Mikoto said stepping inside.

Just as soon as she stepped in, someone throw a football right at her. It seemed that they heard their teacher was on leave due to personal reason, so they decided to terrorize the substitute teacher as much as possible. With natural reflex, Mikoto caught the ball and flatten it without so much an effort causing all noises to cease completely. Tossing the deflated football into the trash bin, Mikoto casually strolled over to the board behind the desk and wrote her name down on it.

"Good morning class, my name is Minagi Mikoto. I will be your teacher for the next two weeks, and if you behave you won't suffer so much as when you don't. Let's start with roll call," Mikoto said as she pulled out the roster book in a drawer. Grabbing a handful of chalks, as she started the roll call while flicking chalks at a few students that replied rudely to her or sitting with their feet on their table.

Tohkiha Mai, a first year student and happened to in the classroom. She sat by the window and looked outside, thinking that the substitute teacher would probably be terrorized by the boys in the class and quit within five minutes of being in here. She didn't expect a young woman in her twenties dressing in slacks, shirt, and loose tie with a black motorcycle helmet in hand with god-given reflexes. A similar resemblance between her psycho teacher and the substitute, they both ride motorcycle and have nerves of steel. Mai was now having her attention focused completely on Minagi-sensei as soon as she started talking, her voice sounded like angels singing to Mai's ears.

"Sensei, do you have a boyfriend yet?" one of the male students asked right after Mikoto finished roll call. "Amatsu-kun, perhaps you would like to tell me the name of all of the character in Shakespeare's play: Hamlet." Mikoto said as she started putting an exercise list on the board. "Tch," the student murmured under his breath. "Since this is homeroom class, you should be studying for your next class," Mikoto said as she sits down at her desk and pulled out a thick book from her backpack.

Mai could read the title and the author clearly from her seat, and she was giddy because it was from the author she loved: Kiyohime. Mikoto was seen scratching her cheek from time to time while focusing on the book. Mai kept on staring at her substitute teacher while her mind started to fantasize about the two of them on a date.

The bell finally rung and pulled her out of her dream world, Mikoto closed the book erased the board and headed out leaving the students there for the next teacher (in Japan, it is not the students that moved around but the teacher). She headed down the hall and onto the first floor, sliding the door to another classroom open and announced that everyone to be in the gym in five minutes ready for class.

By lunch, Mai saw Mikoto talking to her English teacher: Munakata Shiho, and her Biology teacher: Yuuki Nao at the teacher's table. It seemed that Mikoto and Shiho were having a good laugh while Nao glared at them with her emerald cat eyes. Mai couldn't help but look their way and let out a sigh, causing her close friend to poked at her side.

"Ack!" Mai jumped. "Mai-chan got a crush on a teacher now?" the teen with shoulder length raven hair and glasses asked her friend with a sly smile on her face. "Chie, I'm not telling you anything. You will start a rumor about it and all hell would break loose," Mai said glaring at her best friend. "Come on, you can tell me. I promise," Chie probed her friend. "No means no Chie-chan," Mai said sternly narrowing her amethyst eyes at Chie. "Chie, stop teasing Mai-chan," a girl with brown hair said with a cheeky smile on her face. "Aoi, you got a plan don't you?" Chie leaned over and whispered to the other girl who just nodded her head lightly.
