Chapter 20 - School

(A/N: this is Ide perspective)

=====================

Ide cried even louder as he watched his now father walked away from him, fearing that he was leaving him.

The male teacher tried to calm him down before they entered the building, so that they did not gain attention.

"Hey kid, your dad will be back at the end of the day, so stop crying" said the male teacher as softly as possible.

"H..how do you know?" said Ide as he chocked on his word, with ears still flowing down his face, wiping them away with his sleeve.

"All the other kids parents are going to pick them up like they normally do, do you want to ask them" said the male teacher

"O..okay", hiccuped Ide still wiping his tears.

"So let's get you cleaned up then" said the male teacher, as he grabbed Ide's hand and lead him into the school building.

After getting all the tears cleaned from Ide's face, they made their way to one of the classrooms. Sliding opening the door, causing all the attention of the students to turn to Ide.

The students started to mutter between themselves, before the teacher started to speak.

"What is the problem Mr. Tamotsu?" asked the teacher, as he slowly turned his attention to Ide who was standing behind Mr. Tamotsu.

"Well Mr. Nori, this child will be in your class for the time being until, proper paper is filled out" replied Mr. Tamotsu, as he pushed Ide to the front of the class.

"Introduce yourself" said Mr. Tamotsu with his arm crossed over each other.

"H..hello my name is Ide Tateno. Nice to meet you" announced Ide as he looked at the students for a reaction.

Silence filled the classroom, before Mr. Nori broke the silence.

"Well have a seat, somewhere" said Mr. Nori with a hint of annoyance, as he swatted him off with a wave of his hand, and walked back to his desk.

Ide walked up to an empty seat, and sat down, next to a kid with his head down on the desk.

"I know what you did?" repeated Kido confusion all over his face.

"What did I do?" asked Kido still confused as to why Uyehara said that.

Uyehara turning his face to Kido with tears in eye.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a son." questioned Uyehara, almost feeling as he had been betrayed trying his best not let the tears leave his eyes.

"I saw you in the mall with him, the other week" continued Uyehara, detailing where he caught him.

"Does our friendship mean nothing to you?" continued Uyehara, the now tears now flowing, his face crinkled up in sadness.

"hey hey, come here" said Kido as he walked towards Uyehara with his arm wide open for a hug, Uyehara accepting Kido hug. Uyehara then continued to cry for a minute, before leaving Kido's embrace and wiping his tears from his face.

"Can I explain, why I did tell you?" asked Kido just to make sure that Uyehara was ready for the truth, Uyehara nodded his head to Kido.

"That kid is a product of a one-night stand, his mother did not want him and wanted to abort him, but I did so I paid her to have my son. And once my son was born I sent him to my relatives in the country side, since I couldn't cope as a single father." explained Kido, Uyehara listening to Kido not even question the numerous holes in his story which made no sense.

thought as he sighed in relief.

"Oh my god, thats so sad, what's the kids name?" asked Uyehara covering his mouth with his mouth, his face showing pity to Kido.

"His name is Ide" answered Kido hoping to finish the conversation as quickly as possible.

"Is that so, what a good name, could i meet him?" asked Uyehara.

"I'll see what I can do, but I really have to get to class now" said Kido as he turned his back to Uyehara, as the bell chimed it rhyme, signalling the starting of the school day.

"Oh yeah, sorry for holding you up" said Uyehara as he waved to Kido, Kido waving back before shutting the door behind.

thought Kido as he made his way to his homeroom.

Kido walked into his classroom, the kids shuffling to seats.

"Good morning" said Kido to the class as he looked down on them from the podium.

"Good morning sir" said the students in unison.

"I'll be taking the register now, so don't not talk" said Kido as he flipped open the register.

Kido took the register, and started to talk about the coming Training camp programme that will be taking in a few weeks.

"Have you all signed the permission slip yet, if not tell me now so I can help you" said Kido as he scanned the whole classroom, before setting his eyes on a Kid with water for hair with his hand straight up in the air.

"Keido Mizuiro, why haven't you signed the permission slip yet" asked Kido as he looked into Mizuiro's eyes.

"I couldn't be bothered" replied Mizuiro, with a dry and emotionless voice.

"Haa..Anyway just meet me at the end of the day" said Kido as he sighed, as he was going to have to put in more work.

The bell signalling the end of homeroom rang, the students slowly starting to stand up and pick up the schoolbags.

"Remember that after the Training Camp week, there will be the midterm final exam!" added Kido as the Kids shuffled to the door of the classroom.

The kids visibly showing their annoyance on their faces.

Finally the end of the school day dawned upon everyone, and Mizuiro made his way to the staffroom, to talk to Kido.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"Come in" said Kido, as Mizuiro slowly opened the door to the staff room poking his head in first.

"Sit down, let's get this done with as soon as possible" said Kido facing Mizuiro, who was sitting next him at his desk.

"I have called your parents to get permission to allow you to go to the training camp" revealed Kido, as he looked at Mizuiro.

"Ok I'll need you to sign off this paper" said Kido as he point to a piece of paper with a pen on top of it.

"Done" replied Mizuiro as he put the pen down onto the desk.

"Good you can go home for now" said Kido as he waved Mizuiro out of the staffroom.

Kido looked at his watch, and put on his coat, packed his stuff into his backpack and walked out of the school gates.

Kido ran to the elementary school where he saw the male teacher, from the beginning of the day, and Ide standing in front of the gate.

The male teacher perked up as he saw Kido running to him in the distance, Ide also perked up, his face brightening up.

"Dad!" shouted Ide as he escaped from the male teachers grasp and ran towards kido. Kido swiftly picking him.

"How was school today?" asked Kido, a sweat trickling down Mr. Tamotsu face.

"It was pretty good" answered Ide, as he looked at the in Mr. Tamotsu's direction.

"Thats good, well Mr..?" spoke Kido before pausing.

"Tamotsu..Mr. Tamotsu" whispered Mr. Tamotsu, as he faced Kido.

"Yeah, I'll try to stop by tomorrow to fill out the paper work, for his enrollment" said Kido as he put Ide down, took his hand and walked away.
