Amanogawa High School.

Not my first choice as far as first school to teach at goes, but considering my other 'job' it's probably the one where I'll be needed the most. I actually find it sort of amazing that the school is still running, let alone keeping the regular attacks on the students and faculty a secret. I only know about it from Ein and Zwein's careful surveillance from Beet-Vizor.

It's been almost six years since I've seen them in person - about as long as it's been since I've seen Gordo and Patora, but I assume America isn't as dull as being in space - I hope they're not lonely up there in orbit by themselves. I wish I could see them once in a while, but then, I barely see Takuto anymore with all his traveling, and Ad's taken to wandering in recent years too.

Stop that, Kane, I stop in my steps to breathe in and out and shake my head to clear it, get my focus back. It won't do to go and get all weepy on your first day of proper teaching.

I push my glasses up my nose and fix the sleeves of my jacket. Ad was supposed to be joining me here soon, I won't be completely alone for much longer.

There are also fellow teachers and my new students to get to know. Not to mention I have to keep my eyes open for signs of the dark forces at work here. Lots of things to keep my mind busy.

I'm alone for once, without my brother or Mio around. Not to mention a certain over-enthusiastic classmate who thinks I should be dating Kaoru-san.

I don't recognize this teacher, but I don't know every teacher in this school. I bow at her slightly as I go by, mind intent on heading to the engineering lab before I make my way to class.

"Yo, sensei!" I say companionably, throwing an arm around his shoulders as he walks. "Kisaragi Gentarou! Nice to meet you!"

Enables certain people. >.>

I tap on my steering wheel idly, waiting for Go to come back out of the school. Why does he always get these calls on his day off, damn it?

[solidliketheearth]

I hate doing these things, I really do. Especially since it's my day off. I never FIND anything at this school.

Ah, there's a new guy. "Sensei? Do you have a moment?"

[hinooo]

Gentarou-kun invited me for lunch, so I signed in at the office and now I'm wandering into the school.

"Hey, Ankh," I say affectionately as I pass him.

...

I stop, jaw down to my knees, and take two steps back. "Ankh?"
