The Springtime of youth. It is that time when young men and women go through their high school years with the hopes of finding that special someone. The someone who they will date and hopefully will complete them. Boys and girls were all the same in that regard. And so, a young man sat on a bench underneath a tree with melon bread in his hands. The bread looked tantalizing enough to devour whole.

Shinku Faulkner. Typical high school student. A Kid who went to this school at the behest of his childhood best friend.

A small black dog barked and rubbed itself against its leg.

"Come on girl. I told you not to follow me to school." He bent down and stroked the dog's fur. The dog barked, sitting down on its haunches and panting.

"You know that no matter what you do, she'll always follow you here. I think it's time you ask the Class President to let you bring her with you, Shin".," a voice said from his head.

"You know I can't do that." He shrugged and bit into his bread. Oh? His brown eyes caught sight of something interesting.

Issei Hyoudou, Tanigo Motohama, and Yatsuhiro Matsuda. The Perverted Trio. The bane and enemy of women everywhere. The three were at it again, standing outside the changing room and hiding in a bush.

What do you think's going to happen this time? Do you think they'll get caught like all the other times?" the voice asked.

"Vivi, you know why I eat lunch out here right?" he asked.

Sometimes, you should just leave him. It's not like Murayama will beat him up too badly," Vivi the voice said.

Shin sighed. As if on cue, the two heard a scream coming from Issei's direction.

"And that's our signal," Shin said, crumpling up his wrapper. He got up and saw Issei, Matsuda, and Motohama running in his direction.

As the three passed, Shin reached out and grabbed Issei by the back of the collar.

"S- Shin!" Issei the idiot's face looked relieved.

"Come on. This way," he said, running in the opposite direction. The two ran back into Kuoh through another door as the Kendo Club girls passed them brandishing their bokkens with righteous fury.

"Thank God! If you hadn't shown up!" Issei said, tears of happiness streaming down his face.

"No problem man."

Issei and Shinku were best friends. And thus, Shinku was extremely familiar with Issei's habits. He didn't know when and how it started but it started. Issei's perversion. He surmised that it had something to do with Irina leaving, but he recalled the two made a pinky promise. And from what he read in Issei's diary, he banished that thought from his head. This situation to Shin was normal. Rescuing his best friend from getting beat into oblivion by the Kendo Girls.

A bark made itself known behind them.

"Eh? Ran? Ran is here?" Issei looked behind and saw a small black Shiba inu running behind them.

"No time, just hurry!" Shin said. Not wanting to get caught and face the to be honest righteous fury.

The two burst into the classroom panting, their hands on their knees. Issei gave Shin a thumbs up to which the dark-haired boy did the same. Ran barked, running around them and inadvertently catching the attention of every girl in the classroom.

"Look!"

"It's so kyuuuuuuute!"

"I want to take her home!"

"Ran-chaaaan!"

Ran was popular. Very popular amongst the female populace of Issei and Shin's classroom. The dog was known for coming to school every day to be with her master. Shin sighed as the girls swarmed him, knocking Issei to the ground. He gave his friend a pleading look that Issei immediately understood.

"Hey. Hey, girls! I'm here too and… Ran, here girl!"

The dog barked happily and ran towards Issei, hopping into his arms. Almost immediately, the girls dispersed and headed back to their seats. Sadly, that really showed what Issei rep has gotten to. Not even a cute puppy can make a girl want to be 3 feet close to Issei.

"Why does Shin-kun hang out with that pervert?"

"That pervert should go die."

"Death to all perverts."

Shin glared at the class, walking over to Issei, who had a wide smile as Ran licked him all over his face.

"Ran, come here."

Ran hopped off Issei's arms and right into Shin's. The two walked back to their seats. Coincidentally, Issei and Shin sat next to each other.

"Should we have brought Motohama and Matsuda too?" Issei asked.

"Nah, we're fine. Besides, I'm sure Murayama is straightening them out good." Shin reached into the pocket of his blazer and tossed Issei a melon bread.

"I just hope Yuki doesn't really… you know." Issei flinched as he involuntarily crossed his legs, As a very not nice mental image appeared in his mind.

"Thanks. Thanks for that. I totally needed that image in my head." Shin grimaced as the image of Yuki hitting Motohama and Matsuda so hard that their testicles exploded appeared in his head.

"Anytime," Shin said, fist-bumping him.
