Preview of ch. 4 of SnK

Because I'm nice, and because I'm evil....

Yaoi alert.

Pg 117

Tomoya is observing Takamura-sensei teaching his class.

Tomo: The flow of the lesson is smooth; his strong and penetrating voice vibrates in every corner of the room. And he also uses easy to understand words so that the concepts can be internalized.

Tomoya blushes slightly.

Tomo: *sigh* As expected.

The word next to him is 'spellbound'. Suddenly he notices that the students have turned around in their seats and are staring at him.

Student: Look out! Nakazawa-chan is spellbound.

Student #2: Even after looking for three years in high school he can't get enough of Takamura's face.

Now Tomoya is really blushing!

Pg 118

Tomo: Th... that's not-!

The boys are laughing. All except one, who's glowering.

Tomo: Masamichi!

Tomoya sweatdrops.

Tomo: I just started my teacher-training at my old alma mater (which is now Masamichi's high school) four days ago.

Pg 119

Later, in the hall.

Takamura: How was it, Nakazawa?

Tomoya's head is drooping over his armful of books.

Tomo: I was only watching and I was already stressed.

Takamura: Well, you've only been watching because you just started. But in two weeks you'll be standing behind the rostrum too. A practice lesson!!

Tomoya looks a little green around the gills at the idea.

Tomo: Sensei... you saw what happened today. I was picked-on by the students. I'm definitely going to fail...

Takamura sweatdrops, then sobers up to pat the now teary-eyed Tomoya on the back.

Taka: It's like that for everyone in the beginning. Hold out for three weeks and you'll get the hang of things.

Pg 120

Taka: I'll be there to help, right?

Tomo: Sensei...

Naka: Right, then let's get to the next class.

Tomo: He's still the same helpful man he was when I was a student.

He breathes a sigh of relief. A moment later he's caught in a strangle-hold.

Voice: Oi!

It's Masamichi.

Masa: You're in a very good mood.

Tomo: Gu! Masamichi!

Pg 121

Masa: You told me not to get all clingly at school. Mou-- You're so harsh!

FX: Cling. Cling.

Suddenly the sound of approaching students can be heard.

Student: Man, I've got phys. ed. next.

Tomo: Ha! H-hold it! Come this way!

He grabs Masamichi by the wrist and drags him off.

Sign on door: Traingin Teacher Waiting Room.

Tomoya has his arms crossed and an annoyed expression on his face.

Tomo: Now listen-- I don't come here to goof off.

Masamichi is leaning back against the desk.

Masamichi: I know that. That's why I've been patient, even though you've been flirting with Takamura right in front of me......

Tomoya flushes with anger, and his fists are clenched.

Tomo: I'm not flirting!!

Pg 122

Masa: I want to hold you more.

He has the darkly intent look on his face once more.

Masa: Is it wrong if I touch you? If I get this close to you?

He buries his face in the crook of Tomoya's neck.

Masa: Tomoya...

Tomoya looks slightly startled, as he always does when Masamichi turns serious.

Tomo: Masamichi...

Pg 123

Although it never lasts... As Masamichi prooves when his light hug turns into a chest-crushing bear hug.

Masa: Never let go. I don't want to let go!

Masamichi gives him a big smooch. Tomoya looks less than pleased.

Tomo: Bastard~~ Didn't you understand a thing I said?

Tomoya swings at Masamichi, but misses as Masamichi leans back. Then he glomps back on once more.

Masa: Never, ever let go!

Tomo: C-cut it out~~~

Pg 124

Between one second and the next, Masamichi is back in adult mode.

Masa: Did you forget our promise?

Tomo: Huh?

Masa gives him a cute smile and sticks his finger in the air.

Masa: To con-tin-ue that time.

Images of the time they almost had sex flash through Tomoya's mind.

Masa: You said to give it nine months, didn't you? And I've been studying like I should.

Tomo: Uwah! No!

Pg 125

Tomo: Other students come in here!

Masamichi gets an evil SD look.

Masa: Students...

He raises his fist in the air.

Masa: I see!! This is their fault to begin with! This is why I can't go to your house! Those bastards are making nuisances of themselves at your home...

He hugs Tomoya tightly.

Tomo: M-Masamichi, you're hurting me.

Meanwhile, someone has opened the door and is watching Tomoya's struggles to get away.

Sedaka: And what does that make me? Sorry. Tomoya's house is closer to school, which makes it more convenient.

Pg 126

Tomoya's head whips around.

Tomo: Se... Sedaka!

He shoves Masamichi back, and the young man falls onto the desk.

Tomo: Look, this...

Masamichi smacks his head on the desk, and then continues to fall, right over the edge.

Sedaka: Ah!

Alerted by the panicked look on Sedaka's face, Tomoya looks back.

Tomo: Eh?

Pg 127

He turns white as he see Masamichi has landed directly on his head.

Masa: Uhh...

Tomo: M...Masamichi...!

Pg 128

Masamichi opens his eyes to see Tomoya and Sedaka peering down at him worriedly.

Tomo: Masamichi... Masamichi, geez you worried me! Are you alright? Did you get a bump?

Masamichi is rubbing his head and looking up at them blankly.

Masa: Uhh... Oww...

Sedaka: Maybe it would be better if we took him to the hospital?

Tomo: Masamichi, can you sit up?

Pg 129

Masa: .....?

Tomo: Oh no. Can he not hear us? Ooooiiii

Sedaka: Oi, this isn't good.

Masa: I can hear you.

Tomo: What. Geez----. Here, sit up, Masamichi.

Masamichi does, though he's clearly still in pain.

Masa: I'm sorry, but... Am I 'Masamichi'?

The entire last chapter will be posted soon!

Interlude

Alright, so I told a little white lie. You didn't think I could go 2 weeks without checking my e-mail, did you?

*big grin* Squeal~!! I finally, finally got the last volume of KKnH. After a 6 month wait. It is absolutely the cutest, sweetest thing ever! I feel a little cheated on the ending, after 10 volumes of UST, but well... Anyway, for all you Seifuku fans, if you like SnK, you will adore Kusatta Kyoushi no Houteishiki. I guarantee it.

My KKnH manga page will finally be getting an update over break. Heh, I haven't done much with it since I got volume 7. I finally realized there was a little ryhme and reason to the style changes -- it was partially because of the aging of the characters. Doh! And I love the final results for Masayoshi & Atsushi at least. Just wait....

Back to studying... Wish me luck! ;p

pain...

I've got the world's most persistant headache. It's not improving my mood, or the fact that I have a s__t load of work to do this weekend.

This is the worst year ever. Somehow I remember senior year of high school being the easiest. What the hell is wrong with this university!?

Anyway, this is to inform everyone that I'm not dead, and will be supplying major updates once this nightmare is over. In... 2 weeks. *whimper* Until then I'm banning myself from the internet, since I have no will-power at all. I'll see everyone in a few weeks.
