''Class 135'' - Chapter 4

The class proceeded on till they got their two hour free period. The bell chimed to signify its start, and everyone began to get up and group up. Kiwi of course got together with Willow and Cross. Heather surprisingly approached them and said, "Hey Kiwi, I was hoping we could hang out?"

"OH? Er, well I guess. We were just going to spruce up the greenhouse a bit, so you can tag along. Is there something you wanted to talk about?" Kiwi walked alongside her, the other girls following.

Kiara looked like she wanted to go after them or say something, but she clammed up and teared up, scurrying from the room alone.

Jin looked after Kiara as she made her way out. "......" Notes down "social issues" on the roster.

Kristi scurried after Lana, who smiled and walked off with her, both seeming to talk about a book they each had a copy of in hand. Pamelo's eye twinkled and she followed after them. This made Verila roll her eyes, but then she got an equal twinkle in her eye as she followed after Nightshade in a discreet manner.

Zani and Tiffany passed a glance at each other with a huff and went opposite ways. Pocky followed after Tiffany. Meanwhile Maya seemed to be heading off to the roof, followed by a smirking Toph with a determined look on her face.

"Maya heading up to the roof again? I guess it's her "spot" or something."

Silvia and Beth got together, and Sasha quickly followed after them looking eager to talk to Beth. Marin seemed to follow them too with a tired yawn. Tina and Noodle clung to the arms of Donna, who looked immediately stressed as she sighed and dragged the giggling girls along with her.

Ava and Asia went off together, and Rosha seemed to panic and ran off in the direction Tiffany and Pocky had gone. And the last group to leave included Gazet and Naga. Gazet called out, "Yo Aqua, I'm gonna run some tests. Can you come help out?"

Aqua nodded and said, "Sure, I'd be glad to. Y-Your not rally gonna dress up Naga again are you? I don't think she likes it." Gazet just laughed and they hurried off together.

And thus, Jin was left in the classroom all by himself. ".....Well, not like anyone was going to ask me to come with them, right?" He chuckled a bit, but his smile quickly faded. "........I'm not gonna sit her like some damn loner....though that is what I am....mesh..." He got up and walked out of the classroom and headed down the left hallway.

He stopped halfway and looked to the stairs that lead to the roof. "...mmmmight as well check in at Maya, just in case." He said to himself and started making his way up to the roof.

When he got to the roof he saw Toph and Maya, facing each other. Toph had a big grin as she said, "Just you and me Maya. Now are you going to join the martial arts club or am I gonna have to do this the hard way."

"I don't want to have to kick you ass, Toph."

"What'd you say?!" She glared and grit her teeth.

"Besides, maybe you wouldn't need me if you'd let Heather participate."

"Shut yer trap! I'm not letting that cross eyed geek ruin our reputation, even if she's the headmasters daughter! I want you, and I'm going to take you!"

"Oh? Toph... I had no idea." She began feigning bashfulness, fidgeting cutely.

"Gah! Th-That's not what I... GRRR, I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!" She rushed forward and threw a punch at Maya, but she uppercutted the other woman's wrist and then decked her in the chest. Toph flew backwards and skid to a halt, and her eyes seemed to go... cat like, a feint growl emanating from her.

"Oh? Woah..." Jin hid away behind the barely open door, watching the two fighters. He was amazed by Maya's handwork, and by Toph determination, which he could sense just by looking at her.

Toph's teeth began to reshape to become sharper, and her nails became claws. Maya opened her eyes, scowling, and adjusted her scarf to expose her face more, tying only one end around her neck so it hung off almost like a cape. She looked like a ninja, and Toph looked like a beast.

They rushed towards each other, and Toph swiped at Maya's legs, but the ninja leapt over it and knee'd her in the face. Toph stumbled back, but quickly tried to grapple Maya. She slipped between ther legs though, sliding on the ground, and twisted around to kick her as she got up.

Toph caught her leg, and then swung her around like a ragdoll, slamming her into the ground repeatedly before throwing her against the fence with a mighty beast like roar.

Jin's eyes widened in shock and a bit of fear. This was brutal, and could end up pretty messy, baring the damages done to the roof by now. Jin grit his teeth and pushed the door up, hurrying towards the two. "HEY! Give it a rest you two, you're going to seriously hurt one another!"

Toph looked at him surprised. "S-Sensei! This isn't wha-"

She was cut off by Maya who took advantage of the distracting, flying jump kicking Toph in the side if her face. Lightning pulsed from her foot, and an angry determined look was on her face, and to top it off cat like ears and a tail had grown from her lower back.

Toph hit the ground and sat up, suddenly covered in fur. She looked like... an anthropomorphic tiger! She held up her hand, and her thumb was now protruding from the opposite side. A fireball seemed to burst from her palm, but Maya quickly held up a sheet of paper with a design etched into it. The paper seemed to become some sort of floating clear symbol, and when the frrieball hit it, it was flung back at a shocked Toph, who flew with a squeal and landed near Jin's feet.

The tiger girl's eyes swirled and her uniform was tattered. Maya just stared for a moment, before taking a deep breath and slipping out another sheet of paper, which he could now see she was keeping in her scarf somehow. Then, all the damage to the roof seemed to slowly repair itself as an eerie glow flowed over the area.

".......What just- Never mind that!" He shook his head and knelt down to the tiger-fied Toph, lightly patting her cheek. "Hey...hey...! You can't just lay her in what is basicly just your underwear at this point, you'll get sick!"

Toph's clothes repaired themself from the spell Maya was casting, and Toph groaned softly. "Mreow-ow. What just hit me? ERK! S-Sensei!"

Maya loomed over her with crossed arms and a mean glare. "Picking fights on school grounds, causing damage. You could get expelled for this."

Toph gulped and began to sweat profusely. "What?! N-No! No one needs to... y-you can't! Ah! Please!"

"Maya, is Toph always this explosive...? And that tiger thing, she's not human either, is she...?" Jin asked, keeping one of his hands on the downed girl's forehead.

Toph was still in tiger mode, and she was sweating worriedly. Maya shook her head and said, "She was careless, and now you've seen us. Toph is what one calls a Rakshasa, tiger folk from another dimension. You can identify her from her thumbs being on the opposite sides of her hands. And she's not normally so explosive, just when she gets a little too worked up."

".....Toph....I...I am disappointed, I.....I really don't know what to say right now..." He moved his hand away and took his glasses off with a sigh. ".....They're not gonna be happy with either one of us...."

Maya's ears flicked and her tail swayed about. "Don't worry. We can report this directly to Headmaster Dragonfruit."

".....Toph, change back. We're going to see the headmaster."

Toph's fur, fangs, and claws receded, and she hung her head. Maya readjusted her scarf and her out cat like extremities vanished. "And in case you were curious, Mr. hirai, I'm a nekomata."

"I see.....don't worry, I'm not gonna squeal on either of you." He said as he pressed his hand against Toph's back and making her walk forward.

Toph whined softly as she was pushed along, and Maya followed as a witness, her arms crossed and her eyes closed again.

"....unless.....Unless I give her the corporal punishment threatment instead.....wouldn't that work...?" He asked, not really wanting her expelled or anything.

Maya looked to him and said, "This is still something we need to report to the head master. I'm sure he'll decide how to handle this. He's a good hearted man, especially towards those of us with special needs."

"....So there are more of you. Alright then....." He sighed and kept walking forward with Toph.

They came to the headmasters office. The secretary was a women with dark skin and makeup that matched her pale purpleish hair. She looked up and pressed an intercom button. "Mr. Dragonfruit, you have some of THOSE kinds of guests."

"Send them in, I'm free."

The secretary, who's nametag on her disk read 'Ms. Terrin' said, "You three can go inside."

"Thank you..." Jin replied and went to open the door to the room, letting Maya and Toph in first.

Sitting at the desk in the office was a muscular and elderly man in a suit with blonde hair and eyes of pink and green, just like Heather. He had a scar on his cheek and the back of one of his hands, which he had together as he addressed them. "What is going on here Mr. Hirai?"

"Toph and Maya had a fight on the roof, sir. The damages has been fixed. The battle quickly turned ugly when Toph transformed, seemingly aiming to beat Maya to a pulp, for all I know.....I, dunno if she is a true threat or not...

Maya nodded and said, "I reapaired the damage after subdueing her sir. But Jin is more aware of the situation now thanks to her careless brutality."

"N-Now hold on a minute-" Toph began before a wift glare from the headmaster got her to zip her lip.

Headmaster Dragonfruit glanced at Jin and said, "So... Jin... How much do you know now? And how do you feel about what you know?"

Jin sighed a bit. "I know about Two others, but not sure what this is all about. As for what I know...my opinions on those things I do know...my opinons haven't changed for either of them."

The headmaster nodded softly and said, "That is good. You see, Jin, the girls in your class have special cases, and it's easier to keep things about them secret with them all in the same class. Most of them are unaware of even each other, but have begun developing special bonds of friendship. Your parents recommended you to me, but I wishd to maintain a level of discretion with you. I hope you are not offended."

".....Why would I be offended about you guys putting 28 of the most amazing girls I've seen, under my care? The info would've been good before, but it's fine, I understand how hush-hush this must've been."

"Oh? Good. Then you won't mind if I don't tell you anymore of their little secrets. I mean, after all, your parents want you to bond with them and make friends, and what better way? And besides, with an all girls class, you could certainly find a bride and make Rai and Sen very happy." He got a playful grin, showing he was teasing Jin and also friends with his parents.

Jin's face flushed fully red. "....You didn't need to bring it up...."

Maya seemed unphased, and Toph didn't seem to notice in all her worrying. The headmaster laughed and said said, "In any case my boy, I suppose theres this matter to deal with. You shouldn't be fighting like that and causing all that damage on school grounds Toph. But I don't have the heart to deny you the chances your parents are giving you here, so... I will instead let your teacher decide on a fitting punishment for you." Toph cringed and gulped.

Jin turned to Toph and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll see you in the last class of the day, then..." He said calmly. "I'm sorry, but your bum is going to face the consequences of your actions."

She blushed and pouted. Maya giggled and said, "She may be strong, but even Toph can be embarassed."

The headmaster nodded and said, "Ah yes, our corporal punishment policy. While not required, many teachers don't enforce it, but feel free to spank the girls in your class if they need it, Mr. Hirai. Now, will you be needing anything else?"

"No sir, everything is okay for now."

"Very well. You are on free period, so Toph, don't cause anymore trouble. You are all free to leave now." The headmaster motioned to the door. And as the girls left he said, "Oh, and Mr. Hirai? While I don't expect you to give my daughter special treatment, do take care of Heather."

"Of course I will, you can count on me, sir." He replied and bowed. "And thanks again for this chance, I guess." He added and proceeded to leave out the door.

Maya walked off, rubbing her stomach and looking hungry, and Toph hurried off, making sure to go in a direction away from either of them.

Jin sighed, feeling a bit sorry for Toph. He looks to Maya, noticing her rubbing. "....You hungry, Maya? I can threat you to something in the cafeteria."

She paused and looked at him blushing. "N-No thanks. I've got lunch I brought to school, it's fine. Y-You have better things to do anyways I'm sure."

"....How about tommorrow then? We can eat together on top of the roof, if you want."

"Ah... uh... s-sure." She turned away quickly, and hurriedly walked off.

Jin smiled a bit and walked in the other direction. "Now, where did Gazet go...."
