Being a high school teacher, you love helping your student. How can you not, when most of them are such little sunshines? Of course, many are too energetic for their own good, but still, their youth makes you feel like you're back in high school yourself.

"Thank you, sensei!" Tohru Honda chirps, bowing her head in a way too polite manner as you help her with the hometask you gave. "I'll make you some tea!"

You watch her disappear in the kitchen and glance around curiously. Somehow, you ended up at Sohma's house, tutoring Honda that stayed with them. Unfortunately, only after you set your foot there, you realised it was highly likely for you to meet Shigure here, since the house was, well, his. Your old friend's. Just when this thought rushes through your mind, the door slides open and an obnoxious sing-song tone rings in your ears.

"I'm back!.. Hmm? Well, well.. Who do we have here?" he drawls, narrowing his eyes slyly as he studies you. "An old friend, huh? Aren't you happy to see me? You might as well want to kiss me, hm?"

The audacity he has to say such nonsense out loud?
