Sunlight illuminated the brightly colored paper birds and butterflies that decorated the walls of the classroom where some of Clamp's brightest students were hard at work. Pushing fashionable black rimed wire glasses up the sharp angle of his beak like nose, third grade teacher Ran Imometo glanced down at the two papers he was holding in his hands. A satisfied smile flowed across his chiseled face as he compared the list of student names with the available assignments. All the jobs had been filled save for one. That very special duty was reserved for his newest pupil. "Ijyuin Akira," Ran called out laying the papers down on his desk and brushing his long brown bangs away from of his face. Scanning the orderly row of students with his dark chestnut eyes, he fastened his gaze on the upturned heart shaped face of the new transfer student. "Hai, sensei " the student dressed in the school uniform of black shorts and a crisp white short sleeve shirt responded shyly jumping up from his seat as his name was called. A self-effacing smile encompassed most of his blushing face when he settled back into his desk chair at Imometo sensei's nod. Ample silver gray eyes framed by a wavy fall of midnight silk followed the sensei attentively. "You will be the reporter for our class project." Ran looked down at his notes missing the looks some of the other students had given Ijyuin upon hearing of his assignment. Wondering how Ijyuin-kun had taken the assignment he lifted his eyes to meet that sliver stare. Ran congratulated himself on his clever thinking as he smiled at the adorable panicked expression on Ijyuin's cherubic face. <Ijyuin has been so shy and reserved since transferring in to CLAMP campus he hasn't made hardly any friends at all. It might be a little frightening, but the experience will be good for him. Being the reporter is an important post. I am certain he is up to the task. Succeeding in this task will be a good way for Ijyuin to develop his self-confidence.* Gulping audibly Akira tried to swallow around the sudden lump in his throat. *He wants me to interview the Kaichou? But I'm just a transfer student. Shouldn't someone who has been here longer be asked to interview someone as important as the Kaichou?* "Tomorrow you will interview the grade school's Kaichou for our class documentary on the governing of a school. The interviewer supplies the questions for the interview. You have until we start filming tomorrow to come up with questions. I have every confidence in you, Ijyuin. I know you will make your class proud." The clear musical tone of the bell rang then and Ran waited for it to finish before he continued speaking. "I know you will all work hard on your various assignments for the class project but do remember you need to get some rest too. You can't be at your best if you're asleep on your feet. Now go on and have a good afternoon." Ran began gathering up the papers from his desk so he could put them away as the classroom started to empty out. So he didn't notice when Ijyuin bounded up in a rush of nervous energy his body tense with worry. Akira darted from the room dexterously weaving through his classmates with a nearly acrobatic series of twists and turns..
