Title: Love Panic
Author/Artist: MK
Pairing: Sawada Shin x Yamaguchi Kumiko
Fandom: Gokusen
Theme: #28, Wada Calcium CD3
Disclaimer: I don't own Gokusen.  I'm starting to worry that if I did, it would all 
go to pot.

	The men of the Ooedo clan lived by their guts, by the strength of their 
actions and emotions.  Logic and sense, sadly, did not often enter into the picture.

	"Congratulations!" Grandfather was beaming, hugged her, and slapped 
Shin on the back.  "From now on, Shin-san, you should call me Grandfather!"  
Shin was smiling a little, his ears pink as she suspected her own were.  Kyo was 
crying, tears streaming down his face.

	"Pst, Ojou!" he whispered, tapping her on the shoulder.  He had something 
in his hand.

	"What is it, Kyo?"

	"Take this."  He had handed her a small container of pills, unlabeled.  She 
opened it, crushed it between her fingers and touched the powder to her tongue.  

	"It's not drugs."  Something was weird. What did these pills have to do 
with their announcement?

	"It's calcium pills. When you have a baby, you" WHAM! "Ojoooou!"

	"Who's having a baby?! Dumbass!"  



	"Oi."  
	
	"Oi."
	
	"The cops are at the door and want to know why you spray-painted the 
station pink."
	"LIES!"  Oh.  Kumiko found herself face to face with Shin's stomach.  "Eh? 
What's going on?"
	"It's time for breakfast, get up already."  



	The problem now was that she couldn't remember whether or not that had 
really happened, or if it had just been a dream.  Kyo didn't show any signs of 
injury, but it wasn't like she had hit him that hard.  Grandfather seemed happy, 
but he always did, and Shin was justShin.  Mussed and a little grumpy in the 
morning, and smelling of soap.   She would have to wait to see what he called 
Grandfather.

	So she waited.  And waited. And waited.  Was Kyo making an 
embarrassing comment about babies something she would dream into that 
situation?  It was hard to tell. Had they honestly told her family they were 
involved?  

	She couldn't tell. Not at all. 



	He trained with Kyo, which was normal.  He showered, read near her for 
part of the day, helped with lunch, trained, washed down again, relaxed with her 
in the evening.  No one gave any sign of anything unusual going on.

	She was starting to doubt her own sanity.  "Oi." he plopped down next to 
her after dinner, looking at her from under his bangs, "You're thinking too hard 
again."  

	"What hap---" she paused.  Would she look incredibly stupid if she actually 
asked him outright?  Probably.  "Uh Whathappened to dessert?"

	"Dessert?"

	"Yes. We need dessert, definitely!"  

	"Don't youstill have chocolates left?" Ah! That was cute!  He had 
looked away entirely, avoiding eye contact.  Kumiko grinned.

	"Just one, but I'm saving it!"

	"For what?" 

	"I forgot to take pictures! If I don't have photos, who will ever believe I 
actually got them?"

	"Baka," He leaned over, turned his head finally back to hers.  Was he going 
to kiss her again? 

 He poked his finger into her cheek. Yankumi frowned, disappointed, when 
he leaned in and kissed her slowly.  "I'll make you more next year."  

"Aaah, Red Lion's making a move! Pst, Ojou! Are you sure you don't want 
those calcium pills?"

"KYO!" WHAM.  

It was a sad fact, but one that followed throughout history.  Ooedo men 
lived by their guts, by the strength of their actions and emotions.  It was a good 
thing that the Kuroda family had only ever borne girls.

NOTE: Until now, Shin has been calling Grandfather "Uncle" as younger 
men often refer to older men, even if they're unrelated.  From now on he calls 
him "Grandfather". The difference is "Oji-san" (Uncle) and "Ojii-san" 
(Grandfather).
