Chapter 1-January: Meeting

It was dawn, and the windows at Horitsuba High were dark, save for one. Grumbling could be heard from inside, then a loud crash, followed immediately by a loud oath.

"Damn that witch..." Kurogane grumbled. "It's 5:30 in the bloody morning!!!" Kurogane continued muttering, heaving great stacks of chairs off the stage, and placing them in rows across the large floor. Kurogane's already impressive scowl deepened, as he recalled Yuuko (the witch)'s instructions.

"Come now Kurogane-sensei! You know I would only ask the STRONGEST person in the school to do this." Yuuko smirked, crimson eyes flashing as she stroked Kurogane's bicep with a long, pale finger. Kurogane jerked away roughly.

"No way in hell." Kurogane growled. "Shit, why do I have to set up the damn auditorium?!" Yuuko wagged her finger in front of Kurogane's face.

"Language, Kuro-sensei! I do not allow the teachers in my school to speak in such a manner! Tsk tsk!" Kurogane scowled.

"You didn't answer my question witch!"

"What a rude thing to say! What a mean person Kuro-sensei is!" Yuuko said, waving her hands dramatically. Kurogane's eyebrow twitched.

"Hmph."

"I have two very important people coming today and I want everything ready for them! And..." Yuuko's eyes darkened, her face suddenly became serious, and she placed her long fingers gently on Kurogane's chin. "....i might have to lower your pay for disobeying your boss." Kurogane visibly twitched. He fixed his gaze on the wall just behind Yuuko, burning a hole into the white stucco.

"Fine." Yuuko's insane smile came back, and she turned around quickly, her black hair swinging in a wide arc.

"As long as you understand!" Yuuko said and began prancing down the hall. She stopped abruptly at the corner. "Oh! And make sure you are here to begin at 5:30 a.m. sharp! She then dashed quickly around the corner snickering.

"WHAT!?!?!?!"

Kurogane slammed the stack of chairs on the floor. A crack appeared in the floor but Kurogane ignored it.

"There must be a million chairs I have to put up in here!" It was actually somewhere around 954,867, but who was counting? "Damn!" Kurogane yelled. "I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for the fact that creepy witch is probably watching me!" He considered putting his middle finger in the air for said witch to see, but decided against it. Damn disagreeable woman. Kurogane sighed loudly and continued to set up the chairs. When he finally finished, he looked up at the clock. 7:50. Over an hour until the "brats" got here. Kurogane groaned, putting his hand on his forehead.

"Ugh, might as well do some grading or something." He left the auditorium and walked through the dark halls of the school, coming to his office. He fumbled with his keys and unlocked the door. He flipped the light switch, stepping inside. He walked over to his desk, collapsed in his chair, and began going through the pile of papers on his desk. When he was done, he looked at the clock again. 8:01. Kurogane was strongly tempted to band his head on his desk. He taught gym, of course there wasn't much paperwork, thats why he liked it. He grunted and stood up. He walked to the equipment room, growling, and resigned himself to organizing it. He wasn't a very "organize-y" person, but he sure as hell had nothing better to do. He scowled again and began organizing. Once he had organized the kickballs by serial number, he glanced at the clock again. 8:58. Finally.

"And cue the brats." Kurogane grumbled. He opened his door, and sure enough, floods of teenagers. A loud beep sounded, and the students looked up at the intercom.

"Ohayo minna-san!!! The lovely Miss Yuuko speaking! I want everyone to come to the auditorium right away! We are welcoming two newcomers to our school today and I want everyone to be there!" there were murmurs and some "heh"s of curiosity as the students began chattering.

"Oh! And that means you too Kurogane-sensei!!" Yuuko's voice added. Kurogane, his head still poking out the door, growled darkly as the students started looking at him and giggling.

"Oh come now, Kuro-kuro-sensei! Don't make such a scary face!" Yuuko laughed. The students giggles increased in volume.

"Yeah?! How do you know what my face looks like right now you creepy witch!?" Kurogane bellowed, even though he knew very well she could not hear him, much less see him from her office. Though sometimes he wondered.

"Oh Kuro-sensei! Don't say such mean things! Stop yelling and get yourself to the auditorium!" Kurogane stormed out of his office, slammed the door, and pounded down the hallway. Students stopped giggling and scattered, quickly getting out of the enraged gym teacher's path. It was well-known what an angry Kurogane-sensei could do. Kurogane stomped all the way to the auditorium, all the way up to the front row, where the teachers were required to sit, and slammed himself in his chair.

'Damn' Kurogane thought. 'first day back from New Year's break and I already want to leave. Tch.' Kurogane folded his arms and closed his eyes. 'Damn I'm tired' He contented himself to dose off, hardly paying attention as the auditorium filled with students, so tired he could barely hear Yuuko as her normally loud voice was amplified through the microphone on stage.

"Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's! Saa! We're all here to welcome two new additions to our school! A new teacher and a new student! First our new teacher!" Kurogane, who was still dozing, jumped violently, eardrums ringing, and was almost blown out of his chair as every single girl in the audience started squealing EXTREMELY loudly.

"What the hell..." Kurogane groaned, and looked up at the stage, one finger in his still ringing ear, to ascertain what had caused the deafening uproar. His mouth unwillingly dropped open. (just a little) Walking across the stage in a black turtleneck and pants, a white lab coat swirling around his legs, was a beautiful blond-haired man. He had a slim graceful figure, and a thin, delicately shaped face. A gentle smile graced his visage, and he possessed gorgeous light blue eyes. Kurogane couldn't help but stare (having the sense to close his mouth) as the man continued walking, almost dancing, such was his grace, to stand by Yuuko.

'No man should be that pretty.' Kurogane thought as Yuuko started speaking again.

"This is Fai Fluorite-sensei everyone, he will be taking Kazuki-sensei's place as chemistry teacher!"

"Yorushukuonagaishimasu!" Fai said brightly, face breaking in a large smile. Thuds and sighs rang through the auditorium as girls fainted.

'Damn even his voice is pretty' Kurogane thought still staring at the blond man. Light blue eyes slid to meet dark red ones, and Kurogane jumped, quickly switching his face to a scowl. Fai gazed at Kurogane for a short while before winking devilishly, causing Kurogane to turn his head away huffing. He refused to look at the blond again, and huffed again as a few more girls fainted.

"Hai! Now lets meet our new student!" Yuuko rang, and Kurogane glanced up to see the new student, keeping his eyes away from blue ones. A brown-haired, brown-eyed boy walked up onto the stage, dressed in the red Horitsuba uniform. He walked up to stand on the other side of Yuuko.

"Minna, this is Syaoran-kun! He will be joining the first-year D-block! Everyone welcome him properly!"

"Yorushikuonagaishimasu." Syaoran said, bowing his head politely. A few mutters ran through the auditorium, plus a few sighs, seems Syaoran had his share of fans as well. Kurogane sighed.

"Hai! Welcome to our school Syaoran-kun and Fai-sensei! Okay students, please return to your homeroom quickly!" Kurogane remained where he was and waited for the students to file out. He didn't have a homeroom class, so he had about an hour to kill. He decided to go to the staff room and get a coffee... a really BIG one. Just as he got up, he saw Yuuko sauntering towards him. He immediately went on the defensive.

"I don't care what you say witch, I am NOT taking the chairs down." Yuuko laughed, patting Kurogane's spiky black hair.

"Oh silly Kurogane! The student council will take care of that! What kind of person do you think I am?" Kurogane ruffled his now flat spikes growling.

"Tch" Yuuko draped one arm around Kurogane's shoulders, bringing her nose close to Kurogane's ear as she poked his cheek.

"So, Kurogane? What do you think of the new teacher?" Kurogane raised his eyebrow.

"Hah?"

"Fai-sensei, Fai-sensei! Isn't he absolutely gorgeous?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Oh sure, Fai was gorgeous, but there was no way he was going to tell Yuuko, of all people, he thought that blond was pretty. He was going to have to go home and look at some bikini models or something. Girl ones.

"Oh Kurogane, he's beautiful and even you know it! That aside, you better be nice to him! I'm counting on you to take care of him! Sayonara!" And just like that she flounced off. Kurogane just stood there for a second with a small sense of foreboding.

"What the..." He shook his head grumbling and decided on an even bigger coffee. He traversed through the halls until he came upon the staff room. He opened the door and walked in, beginning to pour his coffee, when he realized he wasn't the only person in the room. He turned around and almost had to do a double take. There in his white lab coat, sipping a cup of tea and smiling at Kurogane, was none other than Fai.

"Hello." Fai said. Kurogane just stared for a moment before nodding his head, turning back to his coffee.

"Yo" Kurogane heard a little tinkling sort of laugh, before Fai started talking again.

"You were the handsome black one in the front row." Kurogane blinked and turned around.

"Nani?" Fai gave a little laugh again before walking up to Kurogane and standing so they were about one inch apart. Kurogane twitched. This guy had the same disregard of proximity preferences as Yuuko. Not a good sign.

"So? Whats your name?" Fai said brightly, with a large grin. Kurogane's eyes narrowed. There was something strange about that smile, Kurogane didn't like it.

"Kurogane, Kurogane Yuou." Fai leaned back a little, touching his chin, face becoming contemplative.

"Kurogane, huh? Wah, what a scary name! Its not cute enough! I'll have to call you something else."

"Hah?" Kurogane's irritation was building. Rapidly.

"Something like..." Fai smiled again. "Kuro-pon?" Kurogane twitched.

"Kuro-tan?" A tic appeared in Kurogane's forehead.

"Kuro-chi? Kuro-pi?" Fai's eyes were dancing with devils as Kurogane started shaking. Fai pounded his fist on his hand.

"Ah, I know!" a radiant smile materialized on his face. "Kuro-wanwan!!" Kurogane snapped.

"You will NOT refer to me like a dog!!!!" Kurogane yelled, fist clenching and slowly inching its way in the air.

"Aww, but you are just like a big black puppy!"

"I AM NOT A PUPPY!!!" Fai threw his hands in the air before dashing out of the staffroom.

"Wah! Kuro-wanko is mad at me!" Kurogane roared like an animal and dashed out after a laughing Fai, his coffee forgotten. Students and teachers peeked curiously out into the hall, as Kurogane, who had now found a curtain rod, chased Fai madly around the school. In her office, Yuuko smiled over her glass of sake at the ruckus outside, It was the beginning of something wonderful at Horitsuba High.
