To Love-Ru Darkness 15

Tearju meets Yami again at school.

You'd pay more attention if Tearju was teaching your class... but probably not more attention than what she is teaching.

Summary:
Tearju becomes Rito's class' assistant homeroom teacher. Because Tearju is beautiful and klutzy, she is very popular with the male students. Lala, Haruna and the other girls in the class note that Tearju looks like a grown up version of Yami, but their personalities are completely different. At the library, Momo tells Yami about Tearju, but Yami doesn't seem to be in a hurry to see Tearju again. Momo then gets interrupted by Risa who starts groping Momo. Meanwhile, Rito is at the nurse's room talking to Mikado. Mikado reveals that she and Oshizu had tracked down Tearju and brought her to Earth. Mikado and Tearju were classmates in high school but they lost contact once Tearju joined the secret research agency. Mikado states that Tearju hasn't talked to Yami yet after arriving on Earth and both are reluctant to see each other.

After talking with Mikado, Rito tracks down Tearju and asks her to go to talk Yami. Tearju thanks Rito for looking after Yami, but then she admits that she feels guilty about leaving Yami behind and hasn't worked up the courage to talk to Yami yet. At this moment, the perverted principal arrives and targets Tearju. Rito grabs Tearju's hand and tries to escape from the principal. On the way, Rito sees Lala and asks for help, and Lala gives Rito her "new and improved" teleport bracelet. Tearju trips and falls chest first onto Rito's face and the teleporter activates. Rito and Tearju end up outside in the yard with only their socks/stockings on and with Tearju's chest pressed against Rito's face. Rito tries to explain what happened but he gets punched out by Yami who happens to be sitting on a nearby bench.

Momo arrives to bring back Rito (and probably Tearju)'s clothes. After getting dressed, Tearju goes to talk to Yami while Rito and Momo watch from some distance away. Tearju refers to Yami as "Eve" and is glad she is doing well, but Yami states that she goes by the name "Golden Darkness" now. Tearju starts tearing up and apologizes for leaving Yami behind. She wanted to take Yami with her but the organization was after her life and Tearju could only escape on her own. Tearju heard about the Golden Darkness years later and knew it was Eve, and she can't imagine what Yami had to go through to become a ruthless killer. Yami is moved by Tearju's tears and softens up a bit. Yami tells Tearju that there is no way to change how things ended up, but she is glad that Tearju is still alive. Yami then quickly leaves the scene. From the sidelines, Momo wonders why Yami just doesn't get to the chase and give Tearju a hug, but Mikado shows up and explains that it'll take sometime for Yami and Tearju to close the distance between them and rebuild their relationship.

Meanwhile, Nana mentions to Mea that Tearju had become the assistant homeroom teacher to Lala's class, and Mea seems have to some devious plans in mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So Yami was actually named Eve just like in Black Cat. It seems like To Love-Ru Darkness is an alternative universe version of Black Cat. Anyways, Tearju works her first full chapter of the series, and she is still the same busty and klutzy genius scientist character. This of course makes her a totally hot homeroom teacher, so no wonder all the guys in the class love her. Being an attractive female character also means that Tearju gets groped by Rito on her first day on the job. Tearju finally reunites with Yami again, but their relationship will be a work in progress. It seems that Darkness won't give away the emotional hug scene between Yami and Tearju this easily. Tearju looks rather harmless and useless at first, but I'm sure she probably has a plan or will come up with something to help Rito and Yami to fight against Nemesis or whichever villain that might show up. For the moment though, we'll have to see what kind of move Mea makes against Tearju.
