My Childhood Crush Isn't Just My New Classmate, But Also My New Neighbour?!

Continuation from last episode's cliffhanger

"H-hey! Don't 'Hi there Phenics' me! What the hell ya doing here?! And another thing, was that motorcycle we heard yours?"

Phenics exclaims, askance as he still stares flabbergasted, flustered and wide eyed at Yuki, still not believing his eyes and ears.

"I did say you would see me again way way sooner than you thought, didn't I? Don't be so flustered, it's just me you are talking to."

Yuki says calmly, her voice not betraying an emotion, just a cool calm radiating from her form and flowing from her lips.

(Kazuya From way in the back row, whispering to Miko) "So Phenics didn't exaggerate when he said Yuki's the epitome of poise and stoicism, huh, who knew?"

(Miko whispers back, in the same row)

"Oh Kazu, Phenics wouldn't say something if it wasn't true in the slightest, Yuki does seem too calm tho, almost... emotionless."

In the meanwhile the new homeroom teacher Jinkazu Pakuro, a grizzle bearded 28 year old redheaded, blue eyed man with an energy drink in one hand and a lit cigarette in his other watches with tightly concealed amusement, the corners of his eyes barely crinkling like he's smiling, but only with his eyes, he looked tired, he was keeping his spiritual energy signature low to conserve energy for nightly slaying.

"We were out of each other's lives for eleven years, why, Yuki, why show up now? I even thought you'd forgotten about me."

Phenics' tone calms down, but it is suddenly solemn, melancholic, accusing even, he suddenly seems very tired.

"Phenics, who said anything about me forgetting you? I looked for you for eleven years straight, I'm here, here with you."

Yuki stays calm, stoic and serene, as relief, joy and a little bit of sadness seep into her tone, only Phenics seems to notice.

"Alright, calm down class, now, hothead and ice queen and you two whispering to each other in the back row, you're chosen."

JP-Sensei says without any forewarning, a grizzle voiced tone in his voice, showing just how gruff the man is for twenty eight.

"Not to be rude or anything, teach, but you interrupted me and Yuki's reunion and also, what the heck are we chosen for?"

Phenics' tone of voice goes from depressed to annoyed at life in general again in short order as he glares at the young teacher.

"You're so quick to rev your engine aren't you, Phenics? It's always zero to a hundred with you or you brood, there's no in between with you, that said, sir, I, like my hotheaded friend, am intrigued, do tell."

An indignant "H-hey!" is heard from Yuki's left, she promptly ignores the offended "squak" from her best friend, looking towards the front of the class where the teacher stands, her tone "schooled" again.

"It's the Occult Research Class, isn't it, what's it say on your name card, Jinkazu Pakuro? Okay so is that it JP-Sensei?"

Kazuya asks from the back of the class, his tone inquisitory and sure footed, not missing a beat after Phenics and Yuki.

"Wait, that rumor about a new class last year wasn't just a rumor? Also, you look sleepy, I'll call you Nemupaku, not sensei."

Miko says, commenting on how JP-Sensei seems to look sharp, yet still sleepy currently, an effect from his energy drink.

"All valid questions, and yes little miss Aihara, you may call me Nemupaku, I've heard worse, in any case, yes, you four were chosen for exactly what mister Hayashi said, the Occult Research Class."

Whispers break out from other students in the class, things like "Such a class exists now?" And "They're investigating devil worshippers or something?", another "That's so sick, and not in a good way."

Bell rings

Later after a long school day Phenics and Yuki are going the same way and Phenics sees Yuki walk towards and get on a frosty blue colored motorcycle the same make and model as his except for the colour and she starts it... without even inserting any keys and it roars to life with a low decibel screeching sound, the same sound Phenics' motorcycle makes, Phenics is completely flabbergasted but his hunch was right.

"Wait! You also ride a demon subjugation forced possession motorcycle?! I mean it's cool and all you'd copy me, but it's weird."

Phenics starts in a harsh "whisper shout" in shock and then his voice goes normal level and shy as he says his last part.

"I just somehow knew you would do that once you found out about your quarter angel blood so I decided I'd do that too."

She says stoically, nothing pointing to her being shy about it, in fact she sounded pretty damn proud, stoicism and all.

"Well whatever woman! In any case I'm going to be heading home, let's go Kurokaze, time to head on home, buddy."

Phenics' says currently too flustered to add anything to his response, he starts Kurokaze, glances at Yuki and takes off.

Ten minutes later

Phenics is sitting in his kitchen eating Omurice and notices a second plate next to his own, his mother never sits next to him by the table so who's is it? He's wondering it when his mother suddenly just pipes up.

"Phenics-Chan, you're getting a live in neighbour today, she'll be in the spare bedroom next to yours, you will quite like her I think, she's pretty stoic, but she's also very nice, she may also even surprise you.

"Wait, her?! She?! You know there's only one ice queen I like mom, what are you doing inviting a girl to live here?"

The doorbell rings as Phenics hears a demonic motorcycle roar again, Wait, that can't be, it's impossible, I don't believe it

Phenics stands up and opens the front door, he is suddenly standing face to face with Yuki for the umpteenth time that day.

"Hi there, neighbour."

W-what?! It can't be! How?! "Wait, you're not just my new classmate, but also my new neighbour?!"
