Title: Always with you (Kai X Acchan & other pairings) [30/30 COMPLETED]
Post by: kaed3 on March 02, 2015, 03:14:02 AM
Hey guys,

This is my first attempt for a fanfic...I always enjoy reading fanfic on Kai X Acchan...which make me want to write something too  :D...hope you enjoy reading it
 
PS Sorry for my bad english  :P

Chapter 1:

INTRO:
Akiba Academy is a escalator school where the students study from middle school to university. Currently,the students are having their school break.

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"OHAYOOOO Minna!! How have you guys been?" Kai greeted happily while running towards the guys.
(Kai is cute guy standing at 148.5cm tall. A reliable person who everyone looks up to. A hardworking person who never gives up easily and always
a positive energy to the people around.
)

"Where do all these energy come from? By the way, we see each other almost every day Kai." Riku said as he led out a big yawn.
(Riku is the most handsome guy in school. A friendly guy who is always surrounded by girls, yet is afraid to start a real relationship.)

"Well,  that's our Kai. Endless amount of genki-ness." Sae said with a big smile on his face.
(Sae is the most popular guy in school. He is sensitive and gentle to the people around him. Kai's pillar of strength if he ever feels down.)

"No no no...You are the 'Genking' Sae! Nobody beats you to it." Kai said with his hands crossed.

"Will I get to see her today?" Jun wondered while the other guys were chatting happily.
(Jun is the most daring person in the group. A honest and straight forward guy who always speaks his mind without hiding. But when it comes to girl,
he is extremely shy and indecisive.)


"Pssssss!" Kai said as he points at Jun, signaling the other guys to pay attention to Jun.

Kai, Riku and Sae grinned at each other, with a common evil plan in their mind. Sae 'volunteered' to execute the plan while the others looked on.

"LOOK! Its Matsui senpai!" Sae said while pointing towards the entrance.
 
Jun quickly stood up and turned towards the entrance, ready to greet Matsui senpai. But to his disappointment, entering the basketball court is
not Matsui senpai but Kuu.


The three guys led out a big laugh while Kuu walks towards them looking puzzled.  Seeing Jun turned to slap Sae's head, Kuu laughed finally
understand what happened.


"Stop that! That's not funny at all." Jun said angrily.

"Fallen for the same old trick again Jun?" Kuu asked as he put down his bag and sat beside the guys.
(Kuu is the trustworthy guy who is always there for his friends whenever they are in trouble. But he always keep his feelings to himself.)

Jun had always admire Matsui senpai since he started middle school. The guys always teased him knowing his affection towards Matsui senpai.

"Beeeep!"

Upon hearing the whistle, the guys quickly stood up and gathered around as the coach, Akimoto enters.

"OHAYO Akimoto sensei!"

"Ohayo! Anybody not feeling well?" Akimoto asked.

Being the captain of the basketball club, Kai asked his team mates.

"MINNA! Daijoubu desu ka?" Kai asked.

"OSUUUU!!" Everyone replied with a loud and energetic voice.

"Good! Now start warming up and then run 20 laps around the court!" Akimoto said as he took up his whistle to blow.

Kai lead the team to warm up exercise. After warming up, Sae the vice-captain lead the run. Just then, a group of girls entered the basketball court.
They are from the volleyball club. As the basketball court has three courts, the two clubs always share the training area.


"Look! It's Matsui senpai!" Riku who is running next to Jun, whispered to him.

"Shut it! Stop making fun of me!" Jun said while turning to face Riku with a annoyed look.

As they were about to run pass the entrance, Jun faced forward and saw Matsui senpai.

"Its really Matsui senpai!" Jun shouted with excitement in his mind.

"Ganbatte kudasai!" The girls cheered while Matsui senpai simply smiled.

The guys, upon hearing the encouragement from the girls, started to pick up more speed. As they wanted to impress the girls by acting tough.
However, Jun reacted quite differently. Upon seeing that smile, a strong current seems to be electrifying his body and he started to sprint.


"AHHHHHHHHH!" Jun shouted and started to run faster, overtaking Sae who is the lead runner.

"Jun! Slow down! Run with the team!" Sae shouted at Jun who is running far ahead.

Seeing Jun running fast ahead alone while the others were shouting at him to form back to the team. It made the girls laughed as the
scene looks funny, except for Matsui Rena. She look worried insteadof finding it funny.
.

"I wonder what happened to him...it's dangerous to run with that speed..." Rena thought in her mind.

Knowing the perfect reason to Jun's sudden 'crazy mode'. The coach looked at Rena and signed.

"Not again...that fool..." Akimoto said and shook his head.

After 30 mins, the team finished their ran and started to do their routine practice. Except Jun, who is laying on the ground as if he's dead,
due to his crazy sprint.


"Daijoubu desu ka?" a familiar voice asked while handing Jun a bottle of drink.

"Dai...jou...bu desu..(pant) A...ri...ga...to....(pant)" Jun replied and grab the bottle to drink.

As he drink, he finds the bottle familiar but was too thirsty to bother who it belongs to. In his mind all he can think of is to finish the water if not
he will die. Jun was gulping down the water quickly like his life depends on it.


"AHHHHH! Arigato....I'm saved dude!" Jun said in a refreshed tone and stood up.

Jun frozed the moment he saw his savior, he was unable to make any movement. Its Matsui senpai, who handed him the bottle of water.
Seeing Jun's reaction, Kai and Riku ran towards Jun.


They thank Matsui senpai for her kindness and drag their frozen friend back to practice. Matsui senpai smiled and then head back to
her team practice.


"Time to unfreeze and back to practice Jun!" Kai said while slapping Jun's face, trying to get his sense back.

Jun finally snapped out from his frozen state. Jun's can't believe what has happened. He can't believe that Matsui senpai would show
concern towards him and kept thinking the possible reasons as if he is solving a Math equation. Throughout the 2 hours practice,
Jun was smiling like an idiot, thinking of Matsui senpai.


"Beeeep!"

"Everyone gather!" Akimoto said while signaling his team to gather around him.

Everyone stopped whatever practice they were doing and quickly ran towards sensei.

"Today we will end the practice early. Everyone rest well for today and be here at 9 am tomorrow with your white uniform. Don't be late!
Akimoto said in a serious tone and then he turned to look at Kai and Sae.

"Kai...Sae... make sure warming up is done before I come in." Akimoto said

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other with a beaming face. They all know the reason. They will be having a practice match tomorrow!
Something they have been looking for since the start of their school break. And they knew in their heart who they will be playing against even though
the coach did not mention which school. They knew their coach would always end their practice early and get them to put on the white uniform if
they were to have a match against 'That' school.


"Is that understood?" Akimoto asked in a stern tone.

"OSUUUU!!!" Everyone replied loudly.

"Kai...Sae...take charge from here. Minna  otsukaresama." Akimoto said while he starts to walk out of the court.

"HAIIII! Arigato gozaimasu " Kai and Sae said while bowing to their coach with everyone following.

After their sensei left, Kai and Sae lead the team to do cool down exercises. They also set the meet up time at 8 am before dismissing the team.
The volley girls continued their practice.


As the basketball club members begin to pack and leave, Kai and the others noticed Jun was not packing up. He was waiting for a chance to
talk to Matsui senpai and return her the water bottle. However, his plan was destroyed by Riku.


"Jun! Lets...go! What...are...you...waiting...for...?" Riku asked in a cheeky tone even though he knows what Jun is up to.

"I...I...I...erm...you can go ahead first! I have a urgent matter to attend to..." Jun panicked.

"Come on lets go...The girls won't be ending their practice early. Your matter is not as urgent as mine...we need to go grab some katsudon now!
So don't waste your time here, lets go!" Kai said while picking up his bag.

"But I need to return this to senpai!" Jun said confidently while showing the guys the bottle, he thought it was a good excuse to stay and wait.

"Did you wash the bottle?" Kuu asked.

"YABAI...." Jun said with a shocked expression. He just realized he have forgotten to wash it as his mind is too busy solving the 'Math equation'
and basketball practice.

The others can't believe the usual dare-devil would turn out to be such a airhead. So they decided to help Jun out before he make a fool out
of himself again.


"All the more you should come with us! You need to wash the bottle CLEAN and get a thank you gift...how can you just return it without showing thanks..."
Sae said.

"But...senpai will not be here tomorrow...there is no volley practice tomorrow...so I won't be able to return this to her tomorrow...I won't be able to
see her tomorrow...what if she needs the bottle tomorrow.......And tomorrow..." Jun said sadly and before he can finish his sentence, Kuu locked
his arms on Jun's neck and pulled him down.

"STOP YOUR TOMORROW! You speak like a sissy! Come back to your sense Jun!!!" Kuu said while locking his arms around Jun's neck.

"No point worrying about it now. Maybe you will get to see her tomorrow, since the volley girls SOMETIMES come back to practice on their own.
Especially the 'bottle fairy'...." Sae said.

"But...I..." Jun tried to stand firm to his stand on staying back and wait. But was interrupted by Kai.

"Can we now go grab some katsudon now?" Kai asked impatiently.

"Hey Kai, you are not helping here..." Sae said.

"What? Can you fight with a empty stomach? Kai asked.

"Growl~"

"....." Everyone silently look at the same direction.

Embarrassed, Jun gave up and quickly packed his bag before leaving  with the group for lunch. After lunch, they helped Jun choose a gift and
went back home separately. Jun held the gift carefully, as he walk alone the streets. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the gift.


"Please come to school tomorrow...senpai..." Jun made a small wish in his heart before making his way back home.

Chapter 2:

At Kai's house

"Tadaima..." Kai said as he enter the house and sat down to take out his shoes.

"Okaerinasai Kai..." a unfamiliar voice came to greet Kai.

As Kai looked up, he was surprised to see a girl standing in front of him. Its Yuki, Kai's twin sister. As he was unsure if she is really his twin sister,
it took him some time before he starts a conversation with her.


"Yuki...?" Kai asked.

"Hai! It has been such a long time...how are you? Yuki asked with a smile.
(Yuki is Kai's twin sister. Borned minutes later, she is the younger sister of Kai. She is a cheerful girl and talented girl who likes to sing.)

Having a bad heart condition, Yuki have been away from Tomonobu and Kai for a long period of time. Leaving Kai to Tomonobu, their mother,
Minami took Yuki to America to get treatment and recuperate.  It has been almost 10 years since they last saw each other. Yuki is always weak
so their mother forbid visiting, wanting to make sure Yuki gets lot rest.


"Erm....fine...thank you?" Kai replied in a awkward tone.

Just then, their father walked in and interrupted their awkward conversation.

"Okaerinasai Kai...Why are you sitting there like a rock...come on in and go greet your ka san. " Their father, Tomonobu said.
(Tomonobu the father of Kai and Yuki. A businessman with a chain of performing  theaters in Japan and overseas. A strong- willed man
who never gives up easily and a father who is like a friend. Someone you can trust and count on always.)


"Oh...ok..." Kai said as he grabbed his bag. Thanking his father in his mind, as he had no idea what to talk to Yuki and that their awkward conversation ended.

"Yuki, you too...don't just stand there. Don't over exert yourself ok?" Tomonobu said in a worried tone before he starts walking to the living.

"I am fine otou san. You worry just like oka san." Yuki said and followed Tomonobu.

Together, they head towards the living room. As Tomonobu and Yuki was walking in front of him, Kai had this weird feeling overwhelmed in him.
He had many questions he wanted to ask, but decided to wait till he greet his mother.


At the living room

A slim figure was standing in the living room, looking at the rows of photos and adjusting the frames nicely whenever she finds it crooked. Tomonobu eye signaled Kai, telling Kai to greet his mother himself. 

Kai looked at his father with wide eyes as he thought his father would help him. He was lost for words as he was unsure how he should greet his mother.
10 years, he has not seen his mother for 10 years. She seems like a stranger to him and he had forgotten how he should address his mother.


"Erm...erm...Oka...san?" Kai finally pluck out the courage to call his mother.

Minami turned around. But she wasn't looking at Kai, she was looking at Tomonobu with a displeasing look after what she just heard.

"Is this how you taught our son all these years? What kind of greeting is this?" Minami asked Tomonobu in a fierce tone.
(Minami, mother of Kai and Yuki. A heart doctor specialist, who decided to get Yuki treated in America upon discussion with her husband.
Due to Yuki's condition, she cannot tolerate simple mistakes as she put Yuki's well-being as priority to everything else.
)

"Ahahaha...our boy is kind of shy...don't mind don't mind..." Tomonobu said in a joking tone, hoping to break the ice cold atmosphere but Minami
stared at him instead.

"Oka san...I believe Kai is like what otou san said. Please don't be angry?" Yuki plea.

Minami looked at Yuki and Tomonobu and sign. Minami can never hold her anger when she sees Yuki. She always tried to keep her composure
so that her bad emotions would not be a stress on Yuki.


"Ok fine...But I expect a better greeting next time Kai...No more excuses of being shy...I'm your oka san, not your girlfriend." Minami finally
looked at Kai and said.

"Hai...." Kai replied, looking as if he have been wronged.

"Lets go get some rest before dinner time Yukirin." Minami said to Yuki. Yukirin is Yuki's nickname which Minami gave.

"Kai... See you at dinner time." Yuki said with a smile before following her mother to their bedroom

"o...ok...see you later." Kai replied still in a awkward tone which made Tomonobu laughed.

Minami and Yuki then went up to their perspective bedrooms. They had a tough day from several hours of flight in order to come back home.
After seeing their loved ones got into the bedroom, Tomonobu asked Kai to drop by the study room first as he have something to tell Kai.
Once they reached the study room, Kai started to ask his father questions.


"What's going here? Why wasn't I informed that Oka san and Yuki is coming back?" Kai asked his father in a serious tone.

"Well...It was meant to be a surprise!" Tomonobu said.

"But it turned out horribly! Tou san, you should have told me! I almost had a nervous breakdown there and now mum is displeased with me...
I wasn't prepare to see them and suddenly they just came here...." Kai said sadly.

"Sorry son, I miscalculated...hahaha...don't worry...I think oka san is just tired from the flight...eventually you will get used to it...." Tomonobu said.

"What do you mean...are they going to be here permanently?...like forever?...So they wasn't here for a vacation or something? What about Yuki?
Is she ok now? Did something bad happened?" Kai asked seriously.

"Slow down on your questions son...yes they are will be staying here permanently as Yuki's condition is stabilized...so ka san and I decided
 to let Yuki move back and start schooling here...it is Yuki's wish too, to come back to Japan..." Tomonobu said with a wide smile while looking at Kai.

It had been tough for his father. Tomonobu have to travel frequently to America to see Minami and Yuki. Despite how busy he is with his
business on hand, Tomonubu always tried his best to keep Kai company.Making sure Kai's birthday is never spent alone.


For Kai, Tomonobu is his role model. He is grateful to have such a wonderful and supportive father with him all these years without his mother.
Seeing his father wished finally came true, Kai was really happy as it has been so long since his father had such a smile filled with happiness.
He always knew how badly his father longed to have the whole family stayed together.


"Yokatta ne...ka san and Yuki is back...Arigato tou san...for everything..." Kai said while giving a pat on his father back.

"....." Tomonobu paused upon hearing the words Kai said. His eyes started to well up with tears. But Tomonobu tried to fight back as much
as he can as he does not want to let his son see him in this state.

Seeing that, Kai knew exactly what he needs to do. So he stood up and said to his father.

"Ehhh...tou san...I'm all sweaty from the practice....so...I'm heading to the shower..." Kai said, then hurriedly exited the study room.

"....." Tomonobu simply nodded his head without looking at kai.

As the door gently closed, Tomonobu cried. He tried his best not to make any sound with his hands over his mouth. All the loneliness and
sadness within him are all unleashed. How much he missed his wife and daughter, how much guilt he have for making Kai lonely on the
days he went to America or managing his business. He was unable to contain his emotion anymore.


On the other side of the door, Kai was standing there. He lied about going for a shower. Kai knew his father has been acting tough for his sake.
So even if just a little while, he wanted to console his father behind the closed door. Hoping to be his father strength even if his father does not know it.

 
That night, the four of them finally had the long awaited dinner. As a family.

Really having fun writing this fanfic...hope you enjoy reading it as I write it. :inlove:

Chapter 3:

THE NEXT DAY MORNING
At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

Riku, Sae and Jun was the first to reach the basketball court as usual. They were practicing some shooting while waiting for the other members to arrive.

"Ohayo...." Kai greeted the guys as he enter the court.

Noticing something is unusual about Kai, Sae stopped his shoot and approach him.

"Hey buddy, everything ok?" Sae asked.

"Huh...what do you mean?" Kai said as he put down his bag.

"You don't look like your usual self...so..." Sae said in a worried tone.

Sae never fails to notice whenever Kai is down, since they have been best friend since their elementary  school. So Sae knew everything about Kai,
including his family issues.


"Just some family matters..." Kai said.

"Something happened to your sis?" Sae asked seriously as he pull Kai to a corner to talk.

"No...hmm...maybe...its just some stuff happened..." Kai said.

"Ic...I know its hard...are you able to play later? I can talk to the coach for you...as for today, let me take charge...let your mind take a rest ok?"
Sae said as he offer to take charge for the day for Kai.

"Nah its ok...I'm alright...no worries...Arigato." Kai said with a faint smile.

"Ok...if there is anything I can help...let me know...I got your back." Sae said as he pat Kai's back to show his support for his best friend.

"Ohayo..." Kuu and the other members greeted them as they enter the basketball court.

"We'll talk about this later...Lets win this Kai!" Sae said with his fists clenched.

"...." Kai nodded in agreement.

Kai and Sae then ran to the center of the court to muster all the members. As they starts to warm up, a familiar girl walked into the
basketball court, carrying a container.


"Ohayo gozaimasu..." the girl said.

"Ohayo Acchan...you are very early today...the match starts around 9 am...Didn't Kai tell you?" Sae said. Sae knew they were neighbors and
Kai would always inform Acchan, whenever the team have a match.

"He did...But I happened to wake up early today...So I thought of dropping by early to show my support." Acchan replied cheerfully.
(Atsuko, nickname Acchan. Is a childhood friend of Kai and Sae. A petite girl who likes to sing. Likes sports but was never involved in
any due to her asthmatic body. She always come and support them whenever they have matches.)


"What is that?" Jun asked, pointing at the container as he do his stretch.

"This? I borrowed this from Kai the other day...so I am returning it back to him." Acchan said with a smile.

"Huh?" Kai said while looking at Acchan, as he does not remember lending anything to Acchan.

"Oh that! Don't you remember? Come on...go and collect it from Acchan before you forget..." Sae said as he pushed Kai to get the container from Acchan.
Sae knew that there is something special hidden in
the box that will definitely cheer Kai up.

Kai run over to Acchan. Acchan then carefully handed over the container and ask Kai to open it. Confused, Kai opened the container. Its katsudon
with meat forming the word, Gabatte. Kai was surprise, but was very touched by Acchan's effort.


"It must be hard preparing this...Arigato Atsuko." Kai said with a smile.

"Gabatte, Kai..." Acchan said smiling.

Kai nodded and then carefully put the container into his bag. He then resume warming up with his team mates while Acchan
went up to the audience sitting area.


-Flashback-

At Acchan's house

"Gochiso sama...Oka san, I will be up in my room..." Acchan said as she put her dishes away.

"Don't stay up too late....." Acchan's mother, Haruko said.

Acchan went up to her room and looked out the window. As she looked out, she saw Kai storming out his house. They were neighbors along
Akihabara street since elementary when Acchan moved in with her parents when she was a grade 2. She always go to Kai's house to play
with the twins before Yuki moved to America with Minami.


"What happened?" Acchan wondered.

For she know Kai will only reacted this way whenever he is sad or angry. Acchan once asked Kai the reason for this behaviour
and Kai told her that he needs to exhaust his own energy before he starts using these bad energy on others. He does not want to
blame or vent our his anger at anyone.


"I better go after Kai....." Acchan thought and quickly went out her room.

She told her mother that she is going out for a little walk and will be back soon. Haruko knows where Acchan will be so she did not ask much.


Acchan manage to find Kai at the same old place, sitting behind a big sakura tree. Its Kai's favorite hideout.

"Pant..."

Kai heard the pant and turned around. He saw Acchan running wobbling while taking frequent stops to catch her breath. He quickly stood
up and run towards Acchan, helping her to stabilize.


"Are you crazy? You are not suppose to be running around!" Kai said with a harsh tone.

"I...(pant)...I...was...just...(pant)...taking...a walk...then...I saw... (trying to catch her breath)...you " Acchan said.

"Do you think I believe you being the state you are in now?" Kai said worriedly as he helped Acchan sit down under the sakura tree.

"So......you saw me ran out the house..." Kai asked.

"......" Acchan nodded.

They sat down for a while, enjoying the night breeze. Acchan did not ask any question, she was waiting for Kai to speak whenever he is ready.

"My mother and Yuki.....they are back..." Kai finally broke the silence.

"Ic..." Acchan said, she know there is definitely more to it so she was waiting for Kai to disclose more.

"Yuki will be attending our school starting from our next term...she wants me to quit basket..." Kai said as he stood up and lean against the tree.

"Yuki said that?...thats..." Acchan said, as she can't believe Yuki actually said that. Before she can continue, Kai interrupted.

"No...its not Yuki who said that...its my mother...she wants me to be a 'escort' for Yuki...take responsibility for her well-being to and from school..."
Kai said sadly.

"What did uncle say?" Acchan asked.

"Of course...tou san is on my side...and...Yuki too....." Kai said.

Acchan finally understands the situation. Kai is angry with his mother, forcing him to quit his favorite sport without giving him any chance
for further discussion. He is also angry with himself when he refused to comply to his mother's request.
Pushing away the responsibility of taking care of Yuki, which will definitely cause problems to his father. And despite his selfishness,
his father and Yuki still side him, which made him even more guilty.


"It will be fine...like always...you will definitely be able to find a way to strike a balance and convince auntie..." Acchan said while she stood up and lean
against the tree beside Kai.

"You have uncle's and Yuki's support isn't it? I believe Sae and the others will too..." Acchan said.

"Of course...Mine too..." Acchan said softly with a smile.

"....Arigato Atsuko...I am feeling better talking to you...Arigato..." Kai said as he looked at Acchan.

The two of them then looked up the starry star. Enjoying the cool night breeze and silence together.
 
-After an hour-

"Well...Shall we head back now? I have a important match tomorrow morning..." Kai said excitedly.

"Feeling better? Match against them?" Acchan asked.

"Yes...them...I better rest early and get myself 100% ready!" Kai said with a energetic tone.

"What time? Place?" Acchan asked.

"Our school...Sensei wants us to be there at 9 am" Kai replied.

"You coming?" Kai looked at Acchan and asked.

"Of course! I am the no.1 fan of Akiba Academy basketball club!" Acchan said as she strike a no.1 pose, with her right hand on her hip and
left hand pointing up the sky.

That made Kai laughed. And the two of them then made their way back home.

-End of Flashback-

"Warm up done, lets start with the shooting practice!" Kai said with a energetic and loud voice.

"Osuuu!"

Jun was looking at the entrance at that time. Wondering if there is any possibility that Matsui Senpai will come today as what Sae said.

"....Jun?" Sae said while walking towards Jun.

"Jun!" Sae said as he slapped Jun's back.

"Ouch!! What are you doing!" Jun retorted.

"I have been calling out to you but you wasn'tt responding...so I thought that will slap you back to earth...that is...if you happened to be
in some bottle fairy land." Sae said seriously while trying to hold his laugh.

".....What do you want?" Jun asked in a impatient tone.

"What do YOU want? Everybody is practicing while you are standing guard, looking at the entrance." Sae said.

"Don't worry, fairies are meant to come out when you are in a pinch..." Sae said confidently.

"Huh...I don't know what you mean..." Jun said, acting ignorance and joined the practice.

It was 9 am. Footsteps can be heard afar. Kai and the others stopped practicing and looked at the entrance. Its them, Majisuka Academy. 
Majisuka Academy basketball team wearing their dark blue uniform entered the basketball court with their coach, Togasaki sensei with
Akimoto sensei leading them to the court.


"Ohayo gozaimasu!" The two teams greeted each other.

"Arigato gozaimasu! Togasaki sensei, thank you for taking time for a practice match with us." Kai said with a bow. Together with Sae as they
ran to Togasaki sensei.

Kai and Sae then went over to Majisuka Academy's captain, Sato Takeru and vice captain, Itano Tomohisa to exchange greetings.
After that, both teams starts to gather and prepare respectively.


"Kai, Sae, Riku, Jun and Kuu...you guys are up first...start with formation 4..." Akimoto said.

"The others watched carefully, we will change players accordingly. So be prepared to get in anytime!" Akimoto said.

"HAI! Akimoto sensei" Everyone replied.

As usual, the aces of the team will be in the starting team. Kai and Sae then discuss tactics with the team.

"Beep"

The school referees of both school blew the whistle.

"Lets win this! Today we will avenge our lost during the championship!" Kai said and lead the shout out with everyone gathered in circle.

"Yossha ikuzo!! AKIBAAAA ACADEMY!!"

Not losing in spirit, Majisuka Academy's captain also lead their shout out.

"Rappapa! Majisuka!!! WE ARE THE BEST!!"

Standing on the same court, the startup players are all ready to start the face off. Sae and Takeru will be jumper for their team.
With everyone in position, the referee start off with the ball tossed in the air.


Let the match begin!

Chapter 4

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"Beep!"

"White 04! Charging!" said the referee as he blew the whistle.

"Yabai...3 fouls half way to the match...Coach will definitely substitute me if I get another...DAMN! Jun concentrate!" Jun shouted in his mind.

Jun was struggling to concentrate. Throughout the match, he keep looking at the entrance or around the court. Hoping to catch a glimpse
of Matsui senpai somewhere. Just then, the referee blew another whistle.


"Beep!"
 
"White team! Player change!" said the referee.

"Jun!" a voice called out.

Jun turned towards his team. It seems his worse fear came early. Akimoto signalled Jun to head back to the team's rest area. Kai, Sae, Riku and
Kuu was shocked by their coach's decision and can only look on as Jun walked out the court. They have no choice but to continue on without Jun.


On the other hand, Togasaki see this as a chance to widen the score point. He hand signalled Takeru to change their formation, going for full offensive.


"Form A now!" Takeru said to players.

As soon as the match resumed, the score between the school widen drastically. Kai and the others had no choice but to go full defensive in order
to stop the score from widening. Akiba Academy is now 12 points behind Majisuka Academy. Previously with Jun around, they were able to keep
the points gap within 4
.

"Coach! I need to be in there! Please sub me in!" Jun pleaded.

"......" Akimoto simply ignore Jun's plea.

"We can't win like this! Kai and the others needs me now!" Jun pleaded once again.

"Win? With you like this?" Akimoto asked not looking at Jun.

"Akimoto sensei!!" Jun called out several times but Akimoto does not answer him.

At this moment, Jun is filled with anger, he felt that his coach is picking on him. Unable to contain his frustrations, he kicked the bench a
nd stormed out the court. Seeing Jun walked out the court angrily, Kai was worried but was not able to do anything except fighting on
to reduce their lost points.


"Don't worry...I believe somebody else will help us get Jun back...so now lets concentrate...we can't afford to lose anymore points..." Sae said to Kai.

"Right....." Kai replied and continue the match.

At the water basin area 

"Damn! What is wrong..." Jun said while splashing water to wash his face, trying cool down. 

"Why doesn't sensei let me continue to play...why!" Jun said angrily and he slammed his hands on the basin.

Jun keep venting his frustration out by splashing the water to his face. Making himself drenched. Just then...

"Kyaaaa...Stop it! Stop it!"

Jun heard a girl's voice protesting.

"Yabai..." Jun said as he knew he must have accidentally splashed someone with water.

Jun quickly turned off the tap. And turned around, bowing down to apologize without looking at the person.

"Gomennasai!" Jun said.

Jun then looked up. Nobody is there.

"Did I hear wrongly? Jun said.

"Anoo...who are you apologizing to? I am right here." the girl said.

Jun then turned to look at his right, following the voice. Its Matsui senpai!  Now Jun is really embarrassed, he did not expect to meet
senpaiin this manner. Worse of all, while he is splashing water like a mad man, he splashed it on senpai! Once again, he froze there.
Not knowing what to say.


"Anoo...daijoubu desu ka? You seems to be not in your usual form today..." Rena said as she took out a hand towel from her bag to wipe herself dry.

"What do you mean senpai?" Jun defreeze and asked, surprised by what Matsui senpai said.

"You were looking everywhere...you don't seem to blend into the team play...mistakes which I think you hardly commit actually happened today...
like passing the ball to the opponent or losing grip from balls passed to you..." Rena said honestly.

"So you were there! You came to see me!...NO! I mean...I mean US! Our team!" Jun said excitedly.

"Oh no...Matsui senpai was looking at me all this time? Am I dreaming?..." Jun thought happily in his mind. His happiness however, is short lived,
as what she said strike him.

"I was looking everywhere...I don't blend into the team play? Meaning...I lack in focus?" Jun asked himself in his mind seriously.

"Gomen! Senpai...I need to go back to the court...." Jun said realizing his mistake.

Before Rena was able to reply, Jun ran as fast as he could back to the court. He accidentally knocked down a trash can and then clumsily put the
trash can back to its position. She laughed, as she sees of how silly Jun looks.


"Looks like he is back to himself..." Rena thought.

Rena then kept her hand towel and walked towards the basketball court.


At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

As Jun enters the court, he saw the scoreboard showing  48 : 62. Majisuka Academy is leading 14 points now. Everyone on team
Akiba is cheering frantically. Time left to end of match, 12 minutes.


"Come everyone...defend!" Kai shouted to his team mates.

"Kuu...man no.8!" Sae shouted.

The opponent wearing jersey no.4 preparing to make his shot. As he take aim and shoot out, Kuu ran as fast as he could and made a leap.

"NOT SO FAST!" Kuu said as he tried to block his opponent's shot.

"YATTA!!!"

Kai ran to Kuu and hugged him. Kuu managed to block off his opponent's shot. As Kuu was the last man to touch the ball when it went out the court,
Majisuka Academy get to start the ball.


"Here it comes!" Riku said.

Seeing his friends fighting hard, Jun cannot bear this anymore. He walked up to Akimoto and said.


"Sensei! Gomenasai! Please reconsider on letting me play for the team! I realized my lack of conviction. Please forgive me." Jun pleaded as he bows to Akimoto.

"Sensei! Please forgive Jun! I believe he realizes whatever mistakes he committed...Please give him another chance..." the other team mates helped Jun plea.

"......" Akimoto simply concentrate on looking at the team play without saying anything.

"SENSEI! Onegai!" Jun pleaded once again.

"Beep!"

Majisuka Academy scored. Bringing the score points to 48: 64, with the lead of 16 points. Akimoto stood up, and made a hand signal to the referee.

"Beep"

"White player change!" said the referee.

"Go..." Akimoto said as he tapped on Jun's shoulder.

Jun looked at Akimoto. He was surprised by Akimoto's sudden decision of letting him play. In order not to let his coach and team mates down.
This time, he is full of determination to win by giving his all.


"HAI!" Jun said and went into the match court.

"Okaerinasai..." Riku said while exchanging hi-five with Jun.

"Time to payback..." Jun said confidently.

"Of course! That why we are here." Kuu said.

"Lets go! Akiba!" Kai and Sae said.

With Jun's comeback, the team spirit is high again. Jun is the sharp shooter in the team. With 7 minutes remaining, he scored three 3-pointers,
narrowing down the gap to 7 points. They were also able to stop the opponent from scoring any more points. Successfully defending against Majisuka.


Seeing a change in Akiba's formation, Togasaki signalled Takeru to change formation. To full defensive and offensive for the remaining 7 minutes.
Takeru nodded. As he was about to tell his team mates, he notice a girl was cheering energetically
.

"Who is she? I remember seeing her at every match..." Takeru thought to himself.

"Captain!" Tomohisa shouted.

Hearing that, Takeru snapped out from his thought and convey their coach's message to his team mates. Now, everybody is man marked.
Which made it harder for the Akiba team to score with each of them being shadowed by a opponent.


With 1 minute left, the Akiba team was able to narrow down the gap to 2 points. The score now is 63 : 65, with Majisuka Academy still leading.

"Kai!" Riku shouted as he passed the ball out to Kai.

Kuu and Sae ran towards the opponent shadowing Kai, helped block him away from Kai. With his friends help, Kai sprint his way towards the
basket while bouncing the ball.


"STOP HIM!" Tomohisa shouted and everyone sprint towards Kai.

Kai then made his shot.

"Beep"

"Blue no.7! Shooting foul!" said the referee.

When Kai was making his shot, Takeru accidentally knocked into him and that caused both of them to fall. Everyone of the Akiba team was cheering
happily when Kai was awarded two foul shots.


"Focus Kai! I can do this..." Kai said to himself as he prepare for his first attempt.

As the referee blew the whistle, Kai made his shot. He leap forward lightly and slowly released the ball.

"Bong"

The ball hit the ring and bounced off. Kai shook his head upon seeing the rebound.

"KAI! You idiot!" FOCUS!!" Kai said to himself as he held the ball tightly.

"Its ok Kai..." Sae said as he looked at Kai.

Kai took in a big breath and prepare himself for the last attempt. He jumped and made the shot. As he put in much more strength than his previous,
the ball bounced off as excepted. This is because Sae was the one who suggested it. Before the last attempt, Sae used his eyes to signal where Jun
is while talking to Kai. Kai knew exactly what he meant and put in more force for this shot.


"GET THE REBOUND!" Everyone in the court shouted.

"AHHHHH!!!! ITS MINE!!!" Riku shout out as he grab the ball.

"Jun!!!" Sae shouted and Jun quickly run into his best position.

"Makaseru!" Riku said as he pass the ball to Jun before he land on the ground.

Jun made his shot at his 3-pointer position as soon as he got the ball and the ball went into the basket!

"Beep"

"No count! 63 : 65. Majisuka Academy win!" the referee said.

What a waste! Jun made his shot right after the referee blew whistle. That is why his 3-pointer was not counted. Hearing the referee's declaration,
the Akiba team members stopped in their motion while the Majisuka Academy team celebrates their win.


"If only I score all the foul shots...we would be able to draw with them and go for extra time..." Kai said angrily to himself as he dropped to his knees.

"If only I passed the ball to Jun faster...Why didn't I jump higher?" Riku reprimanded himself in his mind.

"Its my fault that we lost...its my fault..." Jun said to Sae, while Sae tried to assure him that it wasn't that case.

"......" Kuu was just standing there, trying to cool himself. He was really disappointed with the result. He does not blame anyone since this is a team
effort and he knows that everyone did their best.

"Come on guys...lineup..." Sae said as he pull everyone to form a line.

With both teams lined up, they bowed as they greet each other with  "Thanks for the match!" followed by a handshake with the other team members.

"Your team has matured, Akimoto...We were lucky this time." Togasaki said as he shakes Akimoto's hand.

"We definitely will win next time with our skills and with all the luck on our side." Akimoto said confidently.

"Good...I look forward to that." Togasaki said and then he left the school with his team.

As Akimoto walk towards his dejected team, he knew consoling them is useless. Even though he felt that they actually performed well,
as compared to the previous match with Majisuka. But, a loss is a loss. Knowing his team well, Akimoto believe they would be able to reflect
by themselves without him saying anything.


"I have nothing to debrief for today... tomorrow there will be no practice... all of you are dismissed...go back and have a good rest..."
Akimoto said as he leave the court.

"Arigato gozaimasu....." Everyone said and bowed to their coach.

"Alright...Everyone, pack up and have a good rest. See you at the next practice." Sae said as he clapped his hands to gather attention.

The members started to leave one by one, while the 5 aces of the team stayed on. Acchan not knowing what to do, continued to sit at the
 audience sitting area with Rena as company.


Moments ago, the court is filled with shouts and bouncing ball. Battling to win. Now, it is filled with the cries of 5 bitter guys. Who have lost.

Chapter 5

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

The guys walked back to the court after their shower and start to pack up.

"Wanna eat lunch before heading home?" Kuu asked.

"Ok..." Riku and Jun said.

"Nah...next time..." Sae said.

"Not today..." Kai said.

Sae wanted to continue the conversation with Kai earlier on before the match while Kai remember Acchan's handmade katsudon. So they decline the lunch offer. Just then, Acchan and Rena came down from the audience seat and walked towards them. Sae then remember another important task.

"Jun...didn't you make arrangement to meet up with Matsui senpai?" Sae said.

"HUH? What are you saying..." Jun said, revealing how shock he is from his facial expression
.
"Oh that..." Riku said cheekily as he see Rena approaching them.

"Looks like its just us today...bye guys...bye senpai!!" Kuu said as he leave the court, with Riku following behind.
 
"Sae, Atsuko lets go...bye senpai..." Kai said and walked towards Acchan with Sae. Together, they left the court.

"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME! COME BACK!" Jun pleaded in his mind as he looked at Sae.

"Where do we go next?" Rena asked.

"Erm...senpai...if you don't mind me asking...why...are you here today when there's no practice?" Jun asked while trying to hide his nervousness.

"Wasn't you who asked me out? Thats why I'm here today." Rena said.

"......" Jun frozed. He knew its Sae's doing but don't know what to say.

Looking at Jun's reaction, Rena laughed. She then took out a note from her bag.

"I suppose...this is not from you?" Rena said as she flash out the note.

-Flashback-

The volley girls is having their 15 minutes break. Upon seeing that, Sae fake a excuse of needing to use the toilet and walked out the court.

"Kitahara...Pssst!" Sae called out his classmate.

"Nani...Miyazawa kun...Aren't you guys having practice?" Kitahara asked.

"Haha...never mind that...need a favor from you...Can you help me pass this to Matsui senpai?" Sae asked.

"What's this? Love letter?" Kitahara's eye lit up as she asked.

"Sort of...but not from me..." Sae said.

"Then who?" Kitahara's asked excitedly.

Knowing Kitahara would not stop asking unless he have something else to draw her attention away. Sae flash out his ultimate 'weapon'.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH! AKB UDON VOUCHERS!!!" Kitahara said excitedly and tried to snatch the vouchers.

Knowing Kitahara's love for udon and hot spring eggs served by the AKB's, he knew that his plan will definitely succeed.

"So?" Sae asked as he hand over the vouchers to Kitahara.

"DEAL!!" Kitahara said.

-End of flashback-

Jun paused for a while, looking at the note. Thinking if he should tell Matsui senpai the truth. After awhile, he made his decision.

"Actually...its from..." Jun said. Before he can finish his sentence, Rena interrupted him.

"Miyazawa kun?" Rena asked.

"......" Jun nodded, surprised that Rena actually guessed correctly.

"Souka...so...where do we go next? Rena asked.

"Ehhhh...senpai...you don't mind hanging out with me? Even if its not me who gave the note to you?" Jun asked nervously.

"But its true that you wanted to return me my bottle and have something for me?" Rena asked.

"......" Jun nodded his head vigorously while looking at Rena.

"Then that is a fair enough reason. Lets go." Rena said while looking at Jun's silly action. His reaction totally cracks her up.

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

Jun and Rena walked in and sat down. They placed their order and were waiting for their food and drinks to be served.

Jun was feeling nervous and dare not look at Rena. While Rena was still browsing through the menu wondering if she should order a dessert.
The silence between them is making Jun feeling awkward and wanting to hide himself away.


"So...when are you giving me back my bottle?" Rena asked with a smile while she close the menu and look at Jun.

"Ehhhh..." Jun replied in shock.

"My bottle?" Rena asked again.

"OH! That!!" Jun said and quickly dig into his bag to look for the bottle.

Unable to locate the bottle, he almost take out his dirty jersey to put on the table. Luckily, he was able to hold his composure and avoid embarrassing himself again.

"Ehhh...HERE!" Jun said and present it to Rena.

"Arigato..." Rena smiled and thanked Jun when he hand over the bottle to Rena.

It have been 'beautified' with LOTS of ribbon and wrapped up with bubble wrap as protection.

"Erm...senpai...And also this...this is for you...thank you for lending me your bottle..." Jun said softly as he hand over the gift to Rena.

"Arigato...may I open it?" Rena asked.

"..." Jun nodded his head vigourously while facing down. He felt a hot sensation on his face, not waiting Rena to see his embarrassed face. He kept his
face down and occasionally peek at Rena to see her reaction.

Rena carefully open up the wrapped gift. Its a melon pan coin purse.

"Wow...thanks Jun kun...I like it very much..." Rena said, smiling while exploring the melon pan purse.

"Yes! Thanks Sae!" Jun thought in his mind. Then he realised something.

"Jun kun?" Jun accidentally say it out.

"Hmm? Sorry..Is it ok for me to call you that? As I find it weird to call you Matsui kun as I am Matsui as well." Rena said.

"NOT AT ALL!" Jun suddenly stood up and declare loudly.

"Giggles"

The other customers was laughing at Jun's sudden reaction and declaration. Embarrassed, Jun sat down and hide his face. The waitress then
walked towards them to serve them their lunch.


"Its such a waste..." Rena said looking at her pasta.

Upon hearing that, Jun look at Rena's pasta.

"The pasta looks fine...did the chef put in any ingredient you find it a waste?" Jun asked.

"No...I don't mean the pasta...I'm talking about the match... Your last shot that was planned splendidly ..." Rena said.

"You know thats was our plan? Wow..." Jun said as he was amazed. He never know anyone would have thought that that was pre-planned.

"Well...Miyazawa kun is your team's tactician right? When I saw his reaction and actions, I sort of know it since I also do that with my team mates." Rena
said as she smiles.

"Wow...no wonder you are senpai." Jun said.

"Hahaha...what do you mean by that? I am your senpai because I am older than you and not because of other factors..." Rena said as she laughed,
upon hearing Jun's silly way of interpreting things.

"Hmm...senpai...Can I ask you a question?" Jun asked.

"Sure." Rena said as she wipe her mouth with a napkin.

"Do you hate guys who cry?" Jun asked.

Rena was surprised. She did not expect Jun will suddenly ask her this question. As Rena and Acchan witnessed them crying earlier on, Jun was bothered
by how Rena will think of him.


"Hmm...I wouldn't say hate...I think it is a normal reaction anyone would portray out when they are sad..." Rena said.

"So you are fine with me even if I cry?" Jun asked seriously.

"Haha...With a reason I guess and not anyhow..." Rena replied.

"YES! I'm not hated by senpai!" Jun thought happily in his mind.

After that they finished their meal. Jun then mustered his courage to ask Rena something he feel outrageous. 

"Senpai...Can I walk you back home?" Jun asked as he blushed.

"Sure...but can we stop by SKE bookstore for awhile? I have some books I need to collect from there..." Rena said.

"Of course! Anywhere you want! You can stop by any place! Even my place!" Jun said excitedly with multiple hand gestures with realizing what he just said.

Seeing Jun reacting agitatedly in a funny manner. Rena laughed while Jun looked confused. Wondering what he did or say that made her find it funny.

"You never fail to make me laugh, Jun kun..." Rena said as she try to hold her laughter.

"Really?" Jun asked shyly.

The two then left the cafe. Heading to the destination Rena wanted to go before going home.

At Sae's apartment

Sae currently is living alone in a apartment. He moved out from his family main house after his father's remarriage. Not wanting to get in the way
of his father new found happiness.


"Come on in..." Sae said as he open the door.

"Ojama shimasu..." Kai and acchan said as they enters the apartment.

"Wait at the living room...I'll be right back after I change..." Sae said and then he head into his own bedroom.

Kai and Acchan then proceed to the living room.

"Let me make some tea while we wait for Sae..." Acchan said and walked towards the kitchen.

Sae's apartment is like their own house. They can freely do whatever they want without asking. Kai then switched on the TV, browsing the channel.
He stopped when he saw this channel currently screening Acchan's favorite drama, Ikemen Idol.


"Atsuko...your favorite..." Kai called out.

Just then, Acchan took out a tray with 3 teacups and walked out the kitchen.

"Started already?" Acchan asked excitedly.

"Erm...no...it just ended..." Kai replied.

Acchan then look at her watch and realized how late it is now. It's 2.15 pm now, her favorite show started about an hour ago.

"Sorry for the wait...Shall we start eating as we talk?" Sae asked as he walk towards them.

Sae and Acchan bought some origiri from a nearby supermarket on their way to Sae's apartment. Kai did not buy anything as he has Acchan's homemade katsudon. As they eat, Kai told Sae everything about what happened last night while Acchan listens.

"So...any plans you have in mind?" Sae asked as he chew his riceball.

"No...Nothing particular in mind..." Kai said.

"Did uncle or auntie mention anything this morning?" Acchan asked as she slowly takes a few slips of the hot tea.

"Well...I did not get to see them this morning...I think they are still sleeping as I left the house earlier than usual..." Kai said and then he gulp down his katsudon.

They spent about 2 hours at Sae's apartment, trying to help Kai. But they were not able to come out with a concrete solution after much brainstorming.


"Ringgggg"

"Moshi moshi...tou san? Hai...hai...I will ask her later...bye..." Kai said as he answers his call.

"Uncle looking for you?" Acchan asked.

"Yea...And you. Tou san asking if I will be back soon...Apparently Yuki still remembers you and tou san wants me to ask if you are free to have dinner with us..." Kai said.

"KAI! Thats mean! Of course Yuki remembers me..." Acchan retorted.

"Hahaha..." Sae laughed as he see them debating.

"So Atsuko san, are you joining us for dinner?" Kai asked politely while acting like a gentlemen with his right hand out, gesturing to invite Acchan.

"Hmmm....I'll think about it..." Acchan replied cheekily.

"Ok bye." Kai said and stood up, preparing to leave.

"HEY! KAI! Wait up!" Acchan said while pulling Kai's bag. Trying to stop him from leaving.

"Stop flirting guys! Hello~ I am still here and this is my apartment...my territory...go elsewhere..." Sae retorted with his arms crossed.

"Opps..." Kai and Acchan said as they look at each other, sticking out their tongue.

As Sae seldom lose his cool. They like to tease Sae by having this 'couple' talk, where they can really see Sae being annoyed with their conversation.

"Well...enough of this drama...I really got to go..Arigato Sae...See you at the next practice." Kai said as he walk towards the entrance with Acchan.

"Bye Sae... See you." Acchan said.

"Bye...help me lock the door when you leave..." Sae said.

Outside Sae's apartment corridor

"So Atsuko... Are you joining us for dinner?" Kai asked Acchan again.

Acchan know the main reason why Tomonobu and Yuki invite her for their family dinner. It is to help ease the tension between Kai and his mother.

"Sure...but can we stop by my place before we go over? I need a change of clothes and inform my oka san." Acchan said.

"Ok...I'll message tou san that you will be coming...Arigato Atsuko." Kai said with a sense of relieve.

After what happened last night, Kai feels that it might be awkward for him to face his family. He knew that the way he reacted is kind of extreme and he owe them a apology. Having Acchan accompany him back home makes him feel better. And so, as discussed. They drop by Acchan's house before heading back home.

Chapter 6

At KAI'S HOUSE

"Tadaima..." Kai said as he enter the house, he then sat down to take out his shoes.

"Ojama shimasu..." Acchan said as enters, following behind Kai.

Hearing the door opening at the entrance and their greetings. Yuki walked quickly from the living room to greet Kai and Acchan
at their house entrance.


"Okaerinasai Kai...Welcome Acchan!" Yuki said as she lean forward to hug Acchan.

"Ohisashiburi desu! Yukirin!" Acchan said and she hugged Yuki back.

"Sorry to interrupt your heartwarming reunion, but it is kind of cramp in here..." Kai said.

"Gomenasai..." Yuki said as she released Acchan from their hug.

"Kai! Stop being a meanie..." Acchan said as slaps Kai's shoulders.

"Ouch...itai!" Kai retorted.

"Where's uncle and aunite?" Acchan asked.

"......" Kai rubbed his shoulder hit by Acchan as he listens on.

"They went out for some grocery shopping...they should be back soon." Yuki said.

"Ah souka...Yukirin~ Lets go in and chat! I have so much to tell you!" Acchan said excitedly as she lead Yuki towards the living room.

"Erm...ok" Yuki said while looking at Kai.

"..." Kai just followed behind without saying anything.

AT THE LIVING ROOM

The three sat down at the sofa. Yuki and Acchan sat together and started to chat while Kai sat separately from them. Distancing himself from them.
Kai was not keen in joining their chat. So he switched on the TV and browsed the channels one by one. Acchan noticed that Yuki keep looking at Kai,
she knows Yuki wants to chat with Kai too. Acchan then thought of a topic to break the ice.


"Yukirin...We haven't seen each other about 10 years?" Acchan asked.

"Erm...yes.." Yuki said as she turned to look at Acchan.

"What happened to you these 10 years?" Acchan asked.

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked with a surprised look, opening her big eyes.

"Hmm...You changed so much...I almost could not recognize you..." Acchan said, pretending to be serious.

Kai is now interested in the topic, so he turned down the TV volume. Adjusting himself closer to the girls.

"Really?" Yuki asked while looking at Kai.

"Yes...Your overall look, your character and your height...As Kai's sister, I didn't except you to treat Kai in this way right after you are back...
I am really disappointed..."Acchan said disappointedly.

"So I have changed so much...No wonder Kai hates me..." Yuki said sadly. What Acchan said cause her eyes starts to well up with tears.

On the other hand, Kai is shocked by what Acchan said. Seeing Yuki about to cry, that made Kai very angry.

"Atsuko! How can you say that? I can't believe you say that about Yuki! She DID NOT CHANGE AT ALL! Yuki is still very understanding!
The only things that changed is how pretty she is now and how much taller she is than me! And Yuki, I don't hate you at all!" Kai retorted
as he stands up, looking at Acchan angrily.

"Hahahahaha...Sounds like you're having a sister complex...So you realized Yuki is taller than you..." Acchan said as she laughed loudly,
rolling on the sofa.

"Ehh..." Yuki said as she tries to understand what is going on.

Upon hearing what Acchan's said and her overreacted actions, Kai realized he has fallen victim to Acchan's bad joke.

"ATSUKO!!" Kai walked over and pinched her cheeks.

"KYAAA!! GOMENASAI!!! IT WAS JUST A JOKE!!" Acchan beg for mercy before her cheeks got stretched out by Kai.

"HAHAHAHAHA" Yuki laughed loudly.

Kai released his grip on Acchan's cheeks and they both look at Yuki. Then the three of them burst out laughing together.

"Phew...that hurts..." Kai said as he rub his stomach.

"Acchan...Arigato..." Yuki whisper softly to Acchan.

"Doitashimashite..." Acchan said.

"What?" Kai asked.

"What do you mean?" Acchan said.

"Didn't you just say something? Kai asked.

"Did I?" Acchan said, forging ignorance while Yuki tries to hold her laugh.

"Ok fine!" Kai said.

Looking at them, Yuki feel as if the time never stop at all. Both of them are still the same old Kai and Acchan, who cares and never fails
to cheer her up. All these years in Amercia, she was always surrounded by nurses and doctors with no one to talk to. Even with Minami
around who cares so much for her, Yuki still feels lonely. With them around her now, she felt like she never left at all. 10 years in America
felt like a bad dream. Think back, tears begin to roll down Yuki's cheeks.


"Yuki?" Acchan called out when she saw Yuki's tears.

"Gomenasai...I think I laughed too hard..." Yuki said while wiping her tears with her hands.

Kai knew exactly what ran through Yuki's mind. So he decided to say this.

"Okaerinasai Yuki..."Kai said walked over to Yuki and passed her a tissue.

Hearing that, Yuki burst into tears. Ever since she is back, things have been happening which distance her from Kai. She wants to
be welcomed by Kai and is worried he hates her
.

"Tadaima..." Yuki said as she wipes her tears.

The girls continued to chat while Kai listens on. There is no room for him to interrupt once they start their girl's talk so he continued to watch
programs on TV.


"Door opening"

"Tadaima......" Tomonobu and Minami said.

Yuki stood up from her sit to welcome her parents back. Acchan quickly pull Kai up from his sit.

"Okaerinasai otou san and oka san." Yuki said.

"Ojama shimasu." Acchan said while she bow.

"Okaerinasai tou san and oka san." Kai said while he walked over to help his parents carry the groceries.

"Help your mother...Kai..." Tomonobu said.

"Let me do the carrying oka san..." Kai said as he bend over to lift the grocery bags from Minami's hands.

"Arigato..." Minami said softly.

"Hahaha...Well son, since we will be putting these in the kitchen...Might as well we do the cooking today...Right?" Tomonobu said as he elbow his son.

"Kai knows how to cook?" Minami asked, surprised by what Tomonobu said. She have discovered something new about Kai.

"Yes oka san...I cook my own meals whenever tou san is not around...I learnt from auntie Haruko..." Kai replied.

"Wow...Teach me next time Kai..." Yuki said excitedly.

"Sure..." Kai said with a smile.

The father and son then head to the kitchen and start preparing dinner.

"Oka san...sit down and chat with us?" Yuki said as she make space for Minami to sit.

"Sorry Yukirin and Acchan, I have some reports I need to rush...you girls chat on and please make yourself at home, Acchan."
Minami said and went back to her bedroom.

Yuki is eager to find out more about Kai. Thats why she wanted to meet Acchan as soon as possible. As the girls chat and update each
other about their happenings, they felt closer than before.


AT THE KITCHEN

The father and son carefully put the grocery bags on the table.

"What are we having for dinner?" Kai asked as he rummage the bags.

"STREAK!!!" Kai said as he lift up one of the bags up high as if holding a trophy.

"Both of you loved it...Right?" Tomonobu said while he wash the vegetables.

Kai put down the bag. He know how his father is referring to. It his mother. Coincidently, both of them loves katsudon and hamburger steak.

"Tou san... Gomenasai!" Kai said as he bowed to his father to apologize for his rudeness last night.

"Kai...its ok...I understand." Tomonobu said.

"What about oka san..." Kai asked softly.

"We will find a solution somehow...so don't worry..." Tomonobu said, trying to avoid Kai's question.

-Flashback-

LAST NIGHT AT THE DINING TABLE

"Is the food to your liking?" Tomonobu asked Yuki.

"Yes otou san...It is very delicious." Yuki said.

Kai was just gulping down his food while his parents and Yuki were chatting over dinner. Minami is disturbed by how Kai eats.

"Look at the way you eat...so untidy...how am I suppose to entrust the responsibility of looking after Yukirin to you..." Minami said while
shaking her head.

"(Cough)......What?!" Kai said.

"......" Yuki stopped eating.

"Hahaha...Minami...you scared the boy...the way you say it sounds like you are marrying Yuki to Kai..." Tomonobu said with a laugh.

"Anata...I am serious here...Stop laughing..." Minami said seriously.

"Kindly explain the meaning  please..." Kai asked seriously. He got a feeling that there is a deeper meaning in his mother's words.

"Didn't you inform Kai?" Minami asked as she looked at Tomonobu.

"Not yet...I thought of telling Kai when you and Yuki are back..." Tomonobu replied.

"What's going on?" Kai asked as he look at his father.

"......" Yuki remain silent. As she does not know what her parents are going to say.

"Yuki will be attending Akiba Academy starting from next school term and I requested to have her be in the same class as you." Minami said.

"Ok...then?" Kai said as he wait for his mother to disclose more. He believes that being in the same school and class is no big deal.
But the way his father reacts makes him suspicious it is something far worse than he can imagine.

"I want you to quit basketball." Minami said.

"WHAT! Did you just tell me to quit basketball? What do basketball have to do with Yuki? " Kai asked in a angry tone.

"Minami! That wasn't part of the agreement!" Tomonobu said. He was surprised by what his wife just said.

Kai was surprise by what his father said. So his father knew about the arrangement and also agree upon it without discussing it with him at all.
He is very disappointed.


"Tou san you wanted me to quit too?" Kai asked with a disappointed look on his face.

"No! I did not agree to that! I didn't even know your oka san have such demand from you!" Tomonobu tried to explained to Kai.

Even Yuki is surprised by what Minami just said. She felt apologetic towards Kai, for all these happened because of her. She finally broke
her silence and speak up.


"Oka san! What are you saying? What do Kai being in the basketball have to do with me? He does not need to quit basketball and
I can take care of myself!" Yuki said.

Kai finally understands the whole situation. His mother's request for him to quit basketball is her own opinion. Looking at how his father and
Yuki tried to stand up for him. He is touched, yet filled with guilt.


"Listen, I have my reasons. I know the agreement is just to get Kai to accompany Yuki to and from school... But didn't you notice's Kai's behavior?
Being so rude without manners and see how he eats...Must be basketball...since its such a rough sport...I need him to put in 100% effort in
looking after Yukirin...with his basketball practicing...he will not be able to do so...so..." Minami explained. Before she can finished, Kai interrupted her.

"ENOUGH!" Kai said as he stood up and banged the table with his fists.

Everyone looked at Kai, shocked by his behavior. Kai then stormed out of the house.

"KAI!!!" Tomonobu and Yuki called out.

"What's the meaning of this?" Minami exclaimed.

"Stop!" Tomonobu said.

"Kai will not quit basketball...As for Yuki, I will make the arrangements...We should discuss and sort it out together...Why are you forcing your
selfish thoughts on Kai?" Tomonobu said as he walk away from the dining table.

"Oka san...if you want Kai to quit basketball...I rather not go to school..." Yuki said with tears in her eyes.

Minami was shocked by what Tomonobu and Yuki said. She thought her husband and daughter would always agree with her. Not only they
do not agree, she even caused her son to run away from her.


"What have I done....." Minami asked herself.

Later at night Minami had a long talk with Tomonobu and agreed to listen to whatever Kai has to say before any decision is made. She also
assured Yuki that she will not be forcing Kai anymore and will let their father make the decision.


-End of Flashback-

AT THE DINING TABLE

"Wow! Looks like we have a sumptuous feast tonight! Thank you for inviting me over uncle!" Acchan said happily.

"Hahaha...help yourself Acchan...don't be shy!" Tomonobu said.

"Itadakimasu..."

Everyone started to eat without exchanging any conversation as they still remember the argument they had last night.
Acchan looked around the table, everyone is just focusing on their own plate of food without any eye contact.


"This is so awkward..." Acchan thought.

Noticing Acchan's uneasiness, Kai try to strike a conversation. Following the way his father says.

"Oka san, is the food to your liking?" Kai asked.

"It is delicious." Minami replied.

"Ok." Kai said.

-Silence for the next 10 minutes-

Acchan stopped eating and played with her food on the plate. Knowing his mother is strict when it comes to table manners,
Kai wanted to warn Acchan. As he lean nearer to Acchan to see what she is doing, he saw something amazing.


"Daijoubu...Gabatte"

Acchan use the food and arrange those words. She knew Kai would definitely take notice of her since he is a curious person.
Leaning back to his seat, He took a deep breath and decided to give it a try again.


"Oka san..." Kai called out.

"Gomenasai" Kai stood up and bow towards his mother as he apologize.

Minami stopped eating. When she was about to say something, Tomonobu put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head.
Signaling her to listen what Kai have to say first.


"I'm sorry for my rude behavior and action displayed...But I really love basketball...I don't want to quit..." Kai said while still bowing.

"Sit down...we will talk about it and sort it out like what your otou san said..." Minami said.

"I have no objection if you want me to take care of Yuki to and from school..." Kai said.

"I have my own responsibilities which I need to deal with too. As I am the captain of the club..." Kai said.

"Is it possible to have Yuki join me whenever I have my club practice?" Kai asked.

"What? In that noisy environment? Are you seriously thinking?" Minami asked.

Tomonobu tried to calm Minami. Yuki finds Kai's proposal acceptable and wanted to agree to it. Hearing what her mother just said, she knew.
Even if she agrees, her mother wouldn't. They are back to square now, with nobody agreeing to anybody.


"Anooo...Yuki do you want to join my club?" Acchan asked as she raise up her hand to seek attention.

"......" Everyone looked at Acchan.

"Auntie you might not know this but I belong to the Composing club... Yuki told me she likes singing and will try to write her own lyrics...
so I thought...maybe she can join my club's activity while waiting for Kai..." Acchan explained.

"Are you sure? Can I?" Yuki asked Acchan.

"Of course! I would love to have you!" Acchan said.

Seeing Yuki displaying interest and also something Yuki has been doing all these while. Minami decided to find out more from Acchan.

"Will it be noisy? How many people are there? With that many instruments around, does Yuki need to learn all?" Minami asked.

"Don't worry auntie...its not noisy at all...the instruments used is just guitar and its just me in the club..." Acchan said as she smiled.

Tomonobu and Kai knew long ago. They tried very hard not to laugh after looking at how speechless Minami was.

"Let me join oka san...Please? Doesn't Acchan's club fit all your criteria?" Yuki pleaded.

"I think this plan is splendid!" Tomonobu said.

"I guess...I have no right to object to that...for the time being..." Minami said.

"Yatta!!" Yuki said.

"Arigato." Kai whispered to Acchan.

With that arrangement, Kai is able to continue to play basketball while Acchan just gained a new club member.

Another long chapter :cathappy:...This time shifting its focus to others...Enjoy! :cow:

Chapter 7

At Kuu's house

After their match with Majisuka, Kuu and Riku ate lunch together as the others already have plans. Kuu invited Riku to his house for a stay
over and play video games since there is no basketball practice tomorrow.


"Tadaima..." Kuu said as he enter.

"Ojama shimasu..." Riku said as enters behind Kuu.

"Where's your parents?" Riku asked.

"Oyaji is out on a business trip while oka san followed him for a shopping trip." Kuu replied.

"Souka...then Kukai-ni? Riku asked again.

"No idea...Let go upstairs." Kuu replied.

As they walk towards Kuu's bedroom, they heard the sound of crashing buttons. They opened the door and saw a slim figure.
Pressing the game controller buttons agitatedly, as if her life depends on it.


"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOO!" the girl said as she dropped her hands to the floor.

"What are you doing here? How did you get in? Kukai at home?" Kuu asked.

Hearing Kuu's voice, the girl turned around to face them. Riku amazed by how she looks, he is excited to know who is she.

"Wow...Kuu...You have such a beautiful girlfriend? Intro please?" Riku whisphered to Kuu.

Hearing that, Kuu slammed his bag into Riku's chest.

"She's Kukai's girlfriend...Shinoda Mariko." Kuu said.
(Mariko is Kuu's elder brother girlfriend. She is 5 years older than Kuu. Currently working as a model. A cheerful and witty girl.
But always pretend and act like a airhead.)


"Woooo...itai...." Riku said as he rub his chest while looking at Jun.

"Hello! Kuu's tomodachi...I'm Shinoda Mariko." Mariko said as she wave at Riku.

 "Hello Shinoda san...I'm Kojima Riku...Kuu's classmate and we also belongs to the same club." Riku said.

"Wow...Best friends?" Mariko asked.

"Can you leave the room NOW? We have something IMPORTANT to do? So you cannot be here... " Kuu said impatiently.

Hearing what Kuu said, Mariko displayed a stunned face. Riku noticed and felt sorry for Mariko.

"Hey Kuu...that's rude..."Riku said to Kuu softly. He was surprise that Kuu would react this way.

"Shinoda san...Please don't mind him...You can continue to play the games if you want..." Riku said with a smile.

Suddenly, Mariko's face brightened up. She faced Riku with a serious look in her face.

"Don't worry Riku kun...I know why Kuu reacted this way...With you GUYS around...I must be a hindrance..." Mariko said.

What Mariko is about to say almost made Kuu faint.

"Huh? Wait a second...What do you mean?" Riku asked.

"Since we already come to this...I just have to do it...Right?" Mariko said seriously.

"What? Do what?" Riku asked excitedly.

Mariko suddenly kneel down before Jun. Riku was shocked and took a few steps back. Kuu simply stood there, waiting for Mariko to finish
whatever she wants to say and then he will make him leave the room.


"Gomenasai!" I accidentally got your Robot Mii-chan killed!!!" Mariko said with her hands clapped together. Apologising to Kuu.

As he wasn't paying much attention to Mariko in the first place, it took him a few seconds to visualize what Mariko just said.

"WHAT!!!" Kuu walked over to his game station and manage to catch a last glimpse before the game reset itself.

This is the game Kuu wanted to show Riku. It took Kuu 100 over hours to capture Robot Mii-chan. The legendary robot which is the
most powerful in the game. Due to the difficulty level of the game. If a character dies, the game player have to recapture them again.


Losing match against Majisuka even though they worked so hard as a team together. Plus now, his favorite legendary robot after working
hard for long hours is gone . Kuu is devastated. Riku seeing the situation does not know what he should say.


-Silence for the next 10 minutes-

"Sorry Riku...I guess today is not good after all...Come stay over the next time instead..." Kuu said sadly.

"Ok...I understand...I'll make a move first...Take care...Bye Shinoda san..." Riku said.

After Riku left, Mariko walked towards Kuu and kneeled in front of Kuu.

"Sorry for the loss..." Mariko said softly while patting Kuu.

"DAMN!!! WHY DID THIS HAPPENED! I TRIED SO HARD! SO HARD...WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!!!" Kuu shouted with tears flowing out.

-Flashback-

At Mariko's house

"Ringgging"

"Mo..shi..." Mariko answered.

"Mari?" Kukai called out.

"Hmm...." Mariko said sleepily.

"Can you do me favor?" Kukai asked.

"Hmm..." Mariko replied.

"Kuu is out early for a basketball match and he forgotten to carry his keys when he left the house...I have a meeting today so I won't be
home early...Can you go to his school to pass it to him? Kukai explained.

"Leave it in my mailbox...I will pass it to him later..." Mariko said.

"Arigato Mari! Do you have any photoshoots today?" Kukai asked.

"No....." Mariko replied sleepily.

"If I finish early, shall we go catch a movie?" Kukai asked.

"Hmm..." Mariko said.

"Sweet dreams..." Kukai said.

"Beep...." End of call.

At AKIBA ACADEMY

"May I help you?" the security officer of the academy asked.

"Hello...How do I get to the basketball court?" Mariko asked the security officer.

"May I know what are you here for? the security officer asked.

"I'm here to look for Minegishi Kuu, Class 2-4 of High school division. He forgotten his house keys and I'm here to pass it to him." Mariko explained.

"May I ask how are you two related?" the security officer asked.

"......I am Minegishi Kuu's brother girlfriend." Mariko said.

The security officer then check the school student database system to verify whether Kuu is really a student in this school . He then logged down
her particulars and gave her a visitor pass. Before giving her directions to the basketball court.


At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"So quiet...Is the match over? Mariko wondered.

As she is about to enter to the court, she saw 5 figures sitting down on the court.

"DAMN!!!!"

Suddenly, one of the boys shouted. Mariko was shocked and paused in her steps.

"Why am I so slow in shooting...I should have put in my best at the start...Minna...gomen..gomenasai..."
A boy wearing white jersey no.4 cried out (Jun).

"No! Why can't I jump higher...Why am I so slow! " A boy wearing white jersey no.8 cried out as bang his hands on the floor(Riku).

"We will work harder...Even harder than anyone else...Majisuka! We will not lose next time!" A boy wearing white jersey no.9 said
while crying out loud (Kai).

"DAMN!! WE WILL DEFINITELY WIN NEXT TIME!!" A boy wearing jersey no.12 shouted as he cried (Sae).

"......" A boy wearing white jersey no.22 did not say anything but just he cried (Kuu).

Knowing that it is not the right time to interrupt, Mariko left the school ground. She decided to wait for Kuu at his house.

-End of flashback-

"We worked so hard...Harder than anyone else...Why did this happen...why..." Kuu said while wiping his tears.

"I know..." Mariko said as she lean forward and hugged Kuu.

SPORTS APPARAL SHOP

After Riku left Kuu's house, he decided to drop by the sports shop. As he browse through the items, he heard some argument at the
cashier counter. He decided to walk over and see what is going on.


"Onegai tenchou! Please sell it to me cheaper!" A girl is begging the tenchou of the sports shop.

"No no no...it is already the best price I can offer...any less is unacceptable..." the tenchou said.

"I really like these shoes and need them for tomorrow...Ah! Why not we do it this way, treat it as I ordered this and help me keep it while I
go back home to get more money now...Please tenchou!" the girl continue to beg.

"I'm really sorry ojou-san, even if you preorder it...You have to pay in full amount as this is our shop's policy...Why not you come back later
when you have enough..." the tenchou said.

"But this size is the last pair and I can feel the customers around here are eyeing it! Please tenchou!" the girl said as she holds the shoes
tightly in her arms.

Actually, there is only 2 customers in the shop. Riku and that girl.

"How much are you still lacking?

The girl turned around and saw Riku standing behind her. She was surprised at how handsome he looks.

"How much? Riku asked again.

"2000 yen..." the girls replied.

"Tenchou...Please help her wrap up the shoes nicely...here's 2000 yen..." Riku said and then he left the shop.

Passing the shoes to the tenchou, the girl chased after Riku.

"Hey! How do I return you the money...Wait up!" the girl shouted outside the shop but Riku just continue to walk on.

The girl then went back into the shop. As she walked towards the cashier counter. She saw something on the floor.
She bend down and picked it up. It is a basketball design keychain with a name carved on it.


"Ko..ji..ma Ri..ku?" the girl said as she wonder if that's the boy's name.

"I'll definitely find you." the girl said and left the shop happily with her shoes.

AT KOJIMA RESIDENCES

"Okaerinasai Riku sama!" Riku's personal butler, Noro greeted.

"Tadaima..." Riku said.

"Wasn't Riku sama going to Kuu sama's house for a stay over today?" Noro asked.

"Its a long story..." Riku said as he walked towards the living room.

"Have you eaten, Riku sama?" Noro asked.

"Are they at home?" Riku asked.

"No sir...Master and Madam went to a charity ball at Shanghai. They will only be back tomorrow night." Noro said.

"Good...I will have my dinner in my room then." Riku said.

"What would you like to have for dinner, Riku sama?" Noro asked.

"Instant noodles. Serve it later, I'm going for a shower first." Riku said.

"Wakarimashita." Noro said.

AT RIKU'S ROOM

After dinner, Riku lied on the bed tossing his basketball. He is thinking how should he spend his time tomorrow since there is no practice.
While he is drowned in his thoughts, he missed catching his tossed basketball and it ended on the floor. Riku walked towards his bag to take
his basketball. Then he realized something missing.


"Where is the keychain?" Riku asked himself.

He rummage his bag and looked around his room, but could not find it. Not wanting to disturb his butler, he waited for Noro to sleep before
sneaking out. Looking around the area he walked, since he came back home.


Still unable to find it, Riku decided to wake up earlier than usual the next day to avoid morning crowd. He tried to recall the places he went and
listed them down. Just when he wanted to message Kuu to ask him help look around his house. He recall what happened today at Kuu's house.


"Hmm...Maybe tomorrow...Let him have a good rest today..." Riku said to himself.

THE NEXT MORNING

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

The sound of ball bouncing can be heard a far as Riku walked towards the basketball court. This is the last area in his list. As he move closer to
the entrance. He saw a girl jumped up high, trying to reach a ball that is tossed up high.


"SPIKE"

The girl just spiked the ball across the court as Riku look on.

"Amazing... she should be around 1.5 m? Yet she can jump so high and deliver such a powerful stike..." Riku thought in his mind.

"Ringgg"

"Yabai..." Riku said as he tried to silent his cellphone.

Noticing someone else is there, the girl stopped her practice and walked over to the entrance.

"Who's there?" the girl asked.

"Gomenasai! For intruding in your practice. I am looking for something." Riku said.

As the both of them walked towards each other.

"Ah...2000 yen-san" Riku and the girl said, pointing at each other.

"Puu...HAHAHAHA" They both laughed as they didn't expect they will name each other the same.

"I'm Kojima Riku. High school 2nd year. Nice to meet you." Riku said as he offer his right hand for a handshake.

"I'm Oshima Yuko. High school 2nd year. Tenkousei. I will be attending Akiba Academy starting next term." Yuko said as she reach out
her left hand to shake Riku's.
(Yuko, is a sporty and cute girl with 2 dimples when she smiles. Always gives her best in whatever she do. When she decided on something,
she will go for it without hesitation.)


"Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu." Riku and Yuko said to each other.

"You mention you were here to look for something...Need my help?" Yuko asked.

"Its ok...I will just take a look around...it won't take long...thanks for offering..." Riku said.

"I should be the one saying thanks! See!" Yuko said as she points to her shoes.

"Wow...It looks really good on you...Nice!" Riku said with his thumbs up which made Yuko very happy.

"Oh...Wait a moment please...I got the 2000 yen with me...I will return it to you now..." Yuko said, then she ran to her bag pack.

"Uh...ok..." Riko said.

Riku starts to comb the court area while waiting for Yuko. He carefully check around with every steps he takes, making sure not a spot is missed.

"Here...Arigato gozaimasu! You really saved me back there..." Yuko said as she handed over 2000 yen to Riku.

"Oh...You are welcome..." Riku said looking at Yuko.

As Riku take the money, he realized there is something more. He open up the folded bills and saw his keychain.

"This!" Riku said excitedly as he hold the keychain.

"Is this what you have been looking for?" Yuko asked.

"Where did you find this?" Riku asked as he nodded to Yuko's question.

"After you left the shop, I found this on the floor...Since this is the only clue I have about you, I decided to keep it and return it to you together
with the 2000 yen." Yuko explained.

"Arigato..." Riku said.

"If you don't mind me asking...Why are you willing to help me even when we don't know each other..." Yuko asked.

"Because I can feel that you sincerely like those shoes...Plus...I think you will look really cute in those..." Riku said with a wide smile on his face.

Upon seeing it, Yuko is totally smitten and captivated by his smile.

"Kawaii..." Yuko said softly.

"What did you say?" Riku asked innocently with his smiling face.

As if the switches in her body is all being switched on. Yuko made a bold declaration.

"I like you! Riku-nyan!" Yuko said and she pulled Riku down by his collar and kissed him.

Yuko's sudden attack shocked Riku and he totally froze in his position. After a while, he regained his senses and quickly pushed Yuko away.

"Oshima san! What are you doing?" Riku asked angrily as he cover his mouth.

"Kiss of acknowledgement for our love! Riku-nyan~" Yuko said and hugged Riku while looking at him tenderly.

Riku is terrified. He break himself away from Yuko and ran out of the court.

"Kawaii..." Yuko said, smiling and revealed her cute dimples.

OUTSIDE AKIBA ACADEMY

Riku stopped and looked back to make sure Yuko did not run after him.

"Pant..."

"What have I got myself into...Damn..." Riku said while trying to catch his breath.

"Ringggg"

"Woahhhhh..." Riku was startled by his cellphone.

"Moshi...(pant)..." Riku answered.

"Riku? Kuu here..." Kuu said.

"Yeah...(pant)...what is (pant) it...? Riku asked.

"Erm...Is this a good time to talk now? Kuu asked softly.

"What...(pant) do you mean...? Riku asked back.

"(pant)..." Kuu tried to imitate Riku in a more extreme version.

Then realizing what Kuu actually meant. Riku retorted.

"NO!!! I wasn't doing anything indecent!" Riku shouted to the phone.

"What makes you think I think that way?" Kuu tease Riku.

"......" Riku is irritated now.

"Anyway, I looked around and found nothing...Are you able to find your lucky charm? Need my help?" Kuu asked.

"Yes...Found it...along with a disaster..." Riku replied softly.

"Huh? Disaster?" Kuu said.

"No! I mean YES! I found my keychain...someone returned to me..." Riku said.

"Great! So are you free to meet now? I called Sae and he said he will be there with Kai." Kuu said.

"Sure...Where?" Riku asked.

"Let's meet outside 'FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE'. I heard their new items is awesome from Jun...especially the Fried Ebi mango sushi!" Kuu said excitedly.

"Ok..See you there." Riku said.

"Beep" End of call

Riku then take out his keychain and secure it tightly to his cellphone.

"There... Lets have a great day together ..." Riku said and then he make his way to the meeting place.

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

Meanwhile, the volleyball girls club was introduced to a transfer student who will be joining their club activities, starting from today

Chapter 8

At Kai's bedroom

"Ohayo~ OHAYO~ Ohayo~!" A familiar voice was singing with some giggling at the background.

"SHUT UP!!!!" Kai shouted as he lift up his pillow and threw it at the direction where the noise is.

The pillow flew right passed the singing voice. Kai missed.

"Katsudon! KATSUDON! Katsudon~!" The voice continue to sing.

"STOP IT!! DON'T MAKE ME HATE KATSUDON FOR SPOILING MY SLEEP!" Kai retorted and continue to sleep.

The singing stopped for a few minutes.

"Auntie Minami! Kai does not want to wake up!" The voice called out loudly.

That made Kai jump out of bed.

"Oka san..." Kai said, frantic with worry.

Kai looked up. Its only Acchan, Yuki and Sae in the room. Realizing that it's Acchan's stupid jokes again, he sat down on the bed.

"Where's tou san and oka san?" Kai asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Oka san got a emergency call from the hospital regarding a patient. Otou san then left with oka san, sending her to the hospital. Otou san
say they will be coming home late tonight, so we have to settle our meals ourselves." Yuki said.

"Anyway, Kuu asked us out. We will grab lunch at the cafe before choosing the guitar for Yuki." Sae said.

As Yuki just joined Acchan's Composing club, she wants to get her own guitar. Acchan excitedly messaged Sae last night,
telling him Yuki is joining her club. Sae then suggest they hang out together the next day since they have no basketball practice.


"Ok...Gimme 15 minutes to prepare." Kai said as he make his way to the bath room.

"We'll wait downstairs then...Come down when you are ready..." Sae said and left Kai's room with the girls.

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

Kuu was first to reach the cafe. He told the waitress he need a table for 6 people and went in to sit down. As he sat down, he starts to
wonder who is the mysterious 6th person.


"Me, Riku, Kai, Sae, Acchan...then who is the 6th person? Sae's girlfriend?" He wondered.

As Kai and Acchan look like a couple, he couldn't visualize him having someone else as girlfriend.

"Kuu..." Riku called out.

"Where's the others?" Riku asked as he sat down.

"Jun said he won't be joining us as he was here yesterday. The others are on their way here with the mysterious 6th..." Kuu replied.

"Huh? Riku said, confused.

"You mean Kai and Sae is bringing someone else? Is Acchan coming?" Riku asked seriously.

"Acchan is coming...Include Acchan and us...we are 5..." Kuu said as he took a slip of water.

"Must be Sae's then..." Riku said.

"I think so too..." Kuu said.

"Anyway...Is everything ok after I left?" Riku asked.

"Yeah...I got my Robot Mii-chan back..." Kuu said.

"So lucky...how much time you spent on it?" Riku asked, amazed that Kuu is able to capture it again.

"100 over hours..." Kuu replied.

"I don't get it..." Riku said

"Alright...it  didn't die...it's a hoax...a bad joke by Shinoda Mariko...the scene we looked at is actually a video clip..." Kuu explained.

-Flashback-

At Kuu's bedroom

"Feeling better?" Mariko asked as she release the hug.

Kuu took in a deep breath. Then he look at Mariko.

"Why...are you here?" Kuu asked.

"How did you get in?" Mariko asked back.

"Door?" Kuu replied.

Thinking back, he remembered he opened the entrance door without using his keys. He is used to it as his mother is always at home.
But since his parents wasn't around, the doors should have been locked.


"Arigato..." Kuu said softly.

"What?" Mariko teased. She heard him, but pretended didn't.

Kuu know what Mariko is up to. He told himself he won't fall into her tricks.

"Nothing!" Kuu said as he stands up. Accidentally knocked off his video player.

Kuu looked at the TV screen, it was pitch black. The cables of the video player he knocked off, got detached from the TV console. He then
check his game console. It wasn't connect to the TV at all! Which means all along, Mariko wasn't playing his games, she was acting to play
with the game controllers.


"What's the meaning of this?" Kuu asked in a angry manner as he lift up his game console cables.

"Haha...I was...You know...Practicing! I want to be a actress!" Mariko exclaimed.

"You!!" Kuu said and grabbed Mariko's hands.

At that moment, they looked at each other. Without exchanging anymore words.

"Ringggg"

Kuu was startled by the cellphone and quickly let Mariko's hand go. He then quietly tidy his game station, reconnecting the cables of the
game console to the TV.


On the other hand, Mariko opened her handbag and took out her cellphone to answer.

"Moshi..." Mariko said.

Mariko chatted on the phone for a few minutes.

"Beep" End of call.

"Got to go..." Mariko said as she takes her handbag.

"Kukai?" Kuu asked.

"Yes...Ja ne..." Mariko said as she nods.

Kuu lied on his bed as Mariko leave his room. Listening to the faint sound of walking high heels along the walk way towards the entrance,
followed by the sound of closing door.


"She left...again..." Kuu thought to himself.

-End of flashback-

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

"No wonder...I  find it weird too...Normally when its game over, it requires the player to 'press any button'. If not the game would not
reset by itself..." Riku said as he browse through the menu, thinking what to eat.

"Damn! Why didn't I notice it?" Kuu thought to himself.

"That Mariko..." Kuu said angrily.

Noticing angry aura oozing out from Kuu who is usually cool.

"Seems like you hate Kukai-nii's girlfriend very much..." Riku said.

"......" Kuu remained silent.

"Sorry for the wait..." Sae said with Yuki following behind.

"Not at all..." Riku said as he smiled at Sae.

"...Whats with that...creepy..." Sae said as he saw Riku's smiling face.

"Care to intro that lady behind you? Kuu asked.

"Oh sorry...This is Yuki...And Yuki...this is Minegishi Kuu and this is Kojima Riku...We all belong to the same class and club since middle school..."
Sae politely introduce them to each other.

The 3 of them then exchange greetings and sat down together.

"Nice!" Riku said to Sae with his thumbs up.

"What?" Sae asked.

"Where's Kai and Acchan?" Kuu asked Sae.

"Acchan forgot to bring her inhaler so Kai ask me to come here with Yuki first while he accompany Acchan." Sae explained.

"We were right." Riku whispered to Kuu and Kuu nodded in agreement.

"Do you live around here? Never seen you around..." Riku asked Yuki.

"I just came back from America...Thats why you don't find me familiar around here, Kojima san..." Yuki replied politely.

"Just Riku will do...Without formalities..." Riku said.

"Yeah...Just call me Kuu...any friend's of Sae is ours too..." Kuu said.

"Call me Yuki too..." Yuki said as she smiled.

"Why not we take a look at the menu while we chat..." Sae suggested.

The 4 of them then browse through the menu while they wait for Kai and Acchan. The food all looks so delicious and they have a
hard time choosing what to it.


"Coughs..."

"Are you alright?" Sae asked worriedly as he gently pat Yuki's back.

"Yes I'm fine." Yuki replied, rubbing her chest in a momentum.

Sae asked the waitress for some warm water.

"Here...have some warm water...it will make you feel much better..." Sae said to Yuki as he pass it to her.

Yuki carefully take a few slips. Just then Kai and Acchan reached the cafe. Kai saw Sae patting on Yuki's back and walked over quickly
to the table where his friends are with Acchan.


"What's wrong?" Kai asked in a worried tone as he sat next to Yuki.

Now, Kuu and Riku is confused as to why Kai is so concern over Yuki.

"Erm...Sae..Is your girlfriend alright?" Riku asked.

"Girlfriend?" Sae said as he point to Yuki.

"COUGHS" Yuki choked on water as she listens.

"No...Yuki is not my girlfriend...She is Kai's..." Sae explained half way and then his cellphone rang. He excused himself from the table to answer the call.

Kuu and Riku was shocked as to what Sae said. They looked at Acchan and gave Kai the expression of 'What about Acchan look'.
Seeing his friends reaction, Kai knew they have misunderstand the whole situation here.


"No no no no...What you think is not what you think it is!...Yuki is my twin sister!" Kai explained as he look at Kuu and Riku.

Kuu and Riku looked at Yuki and Kai.

"I know you have a twin sister...but..." Kuu said.

"Twins? How come the height is different?" Riku asked seriously.

"Bwahahahaha..." Acchan burst out laughing.

"......" Yuki and Kai were too embarrassed to make any comments.

After Sae end his phone call, he joined back the group. They then settle down once again and ordered their food. While waiting, Kai tried to
summarize the recent events in his family to Kuu and Riku.


"So...anything we can help with?" Kuu asked.

"I think we are fine as we are...I just thought I should let you guys know about Yuki...Since..." Kai said and before he finish his sentence,
Yuki interrupted.

"Actually..." Yuki said.

Everyone looked at Yuki. Yuki looks like she wanted to say something, but was hesitating. Seeing that, Kuu decided to encourage Yuki.

"Just speak your mind...We will try to do whatever we can to help since Kai is our best friend...his sister is our sister too..." Kuu said.

"......" Yuki nodded.

With her right hand on her chest, Yuki tried to calm herself down and took in a big breath.

"If possible...I want you all to keep my condition a secret..." Yuki said.

Thinking about what Yuki requested is not logical, Kai retorted without hesitation.

"That's not possible... You know it!...Oka san definitely will not agree to it...What are you trying to achieve from hiding?"Kai said.

Yuki understands Kai's worries. But her desire of not wanting to be any different from the others is stronger.

"I don't want to be different from others...I do not want to be pitied...I want to feel alive like you..." Yuki said sadly.

Not able to do anything freely and always under protection. Just like Acchan. The only difference between Yuki and Acchan is they
have different parents. Minami would discourage Yuki in everything she want to do unless she thinks it is safe. While Haruko would
encourage Acchan to try, even though it is not possible. Kai never expect Yuki to feel this way. It must have really hurt Yuki badly.


"Guys...Please do as Yuki says..." Kai pleaded.

Everyone remained silent for awhile. Thinking hard about this.

"On one condition..." Sae said.

"What?" Kai asked.

"You must not hesitate to seek help from any one of us whenever you need it...that's the condition I have for you..." Sae said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Ok...Arigato..." Yuki said.

"Arigato minna..." Kai said gratefully.

"Sorry for the interruption...Fried Ebi mango sushi roll for which customer?" The waitress asked.

"Here..." Kuu said.

The waitress then starts to serve all their orders and they begin to eat. Kuu asked Kai their plans for the day and Acchan told Kuu instead
as Kai's mouth is full of Katsudon.


Kuu and Riku then decided to tag along with Kai as they have no other plans in mind. Jun also will be joining them  as Sae told him over the
phone call about Kai's twin sister. As soon as they finished their lunch, they left the cafe and head towards the musical shop to meet up with Jun.

Chapter 9

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"DISMISSED"

"Arigato gozaimasu Sensei!" The volley girls shouted out with a bow as they see their coach off.

Then the other girls also starts to pack up and leave. Rena was about to leave when she saw Yuko standing at the entrance way. So she walk
over to find out more, to see if Yuko is ok.


"Click click click click..." Yuko is using her cell phone to check something.

"Oshima san..." Rena called out.

Yuko turned around and look at Rena.

"Yes Matsui senpai?" Yuko asked as she put down her cell phone.

"Are you ok? Is the practice too tough?" Rena asked with a concern look on her face.

"Not at all...I mean...I am ok and the practice pace is manageable senpai..." Yuko replied with a smile, revealing her dimples.

"Good...Looking for something?" Rena asked, pointing to Yuko's cell phone. She saw the screen displaying google search.

"Oh this! I am searching for the list of shops around here..." Yuko said as she show Rena her cellphone.

"What are you looking for? Need my help?" Rena asked.

"Actually, I am searching for a instrumental shop...My bass guitar strings broke while moving here..." Yuko said sadly.

"Ic...I know one shop around here that might have what you need...Shall I bring you there?" Rena said as she offer her help.

"Maji de? Yatta! Arigato Matsui senpai!" Yuko said while cheering loudly.

Yuko suddenly stopped in her 'celebration' mode.

"Is it really ok? Don't you have something you are busy with, senpai?" Yuko asked.

"Its fine. I have no plans after the practice. Shall me go now, Oshima san?" Rena said and started to walk.

"Yuko! You can call me Yuko or Yuko chan!" Yuko said with a wide smile.

"Then...You can call me Rena. Yuko chan" Rena said.

"Ok Rena san! " Yuko said.

Together, they left the school ground and walk towards the shop.

AKIBAHARA MUSIC STATION

"Welcome~" The tenchou greeted the 6 people who walked into the shop.

"Minna...I'm here!" Jun said as he waved at them.

They walked towards Jun, who is at the guitar section, with a wide range of guitar on display. Acchan was really excited and pulled Yuki with
her as she picked up a guitar to try on.


"Found any nice ones?" Kai asked as he walk towards a guitar that caught his eye.

"I think all looks great...Depending on what your sis likes..." Jun replied.

"We are going over there for a look..." Kuu said and Riku followed him to the CD section.

"Maybe we can ask the tenchou for recommendation..." Sae suggested.

"Yuki...What do you think? Anything you like around here?" Kai asked.

"Yukirin! Why not you try that one? There!" Acchan said as she points at the guitar Kai is looking at.

"Go ahead and try it ojou san..." the tenchou said with a smile.

Yuki take the guitar and position her hands. She took a deep breath and begins to play.

"Kodomo no koro kara
kyoudai no you ni
issho ni otona ni natte kita yo ne
SHORTCAKE no ue
ICHIGO de kenkashite
futari wo kikazuni
toukou shita...."


We grew up together
like an older brother and younger sister
from our childhood on
Arguing over who'd get the strawberries
on the shortcake, we'd go to school together
without speaking to each other


(Taken from http://beautifulsonglyrics.blogspot.sg/2013/02/kashiwagi-yuki-shortcake-lyrics.html#.VPeVcOGM61w (http://beautifulsonglyrics.blogspot.sg/2013/02/kashiwagi-yuki-shortcake-lyrics.html#.VPeVcOGM61w))

The sweet voice and melody echoed around the shop. Everyone unintentionally closed their eyes, carefully listening to the lyrics.

"SUGOIIII!" A girl ran towards Yuki.

Everyone was startled by the sudden loud voice and Yuki immediately stopped playing.

"Why did you stop?" The girl asked innocently.

Kai, Sae, Jun and Acchan looked at the girl. They were speechless. It is so obvious that Yuki stop because of her. Yuki was interrupted by the loud girl.

"Arigato gozaimasu..." Yuki said politely with her face blushing.

"Yuko chan! Wait for me..." Rena said as she ran into the shop.

"Senpai!" Jun said with his beaming face.

"Jun kun..." Rena said, surprised to see him here.

"Jun kun?" Kai, Sae and Acchan said in their mind while they look at Jun.

"Konnichiwa...senpai..." Sae greeted Rena. Followed by the others.

"This is...? Kai asked. Pointing at Yuko.

"Hajimemashite! Oshima Yuko desu~ Douzo yoroshiku!" Yuko said cheerfully.

Rena told them about Yuko. They were surprised that they will be classmates soon. They welcome Yuko and then take turns to introduce themselves.
Rena was surprise to know Kai have a twin sister.


"Just you guys for today?" Rena asked.

"Nope...Kuu and.....Riku is with us too..senpai" Jun replied and point towards the door entrance.

Everyone turned around. Riku frozed with Kuu thinking "Sorry pal, can't help you anymore...".

"Where are you going? We were just introduced to a new..." Sae said and was interrupted.

"RI...KU...NYAN!!!" Yuko shouted happily and dashed towards Riku to give him a hug.

"Woooah..." Kai said.

-Flashback-

AT THE CD SECTION

While the others were helping Yuki choose her guitar, Kuu decided to check out the CD section. Riku followed him as he have something
in mind to buy.


"Hey Riku..." Kuu called.

"What?" Riku asked as he look at the CDs in the slots.

"Your lips..." Kuu said as he point at his lower lip.

Riku then touched his lower lip. It was bleeding from a cracked area.

"That girl..." Riku said softly in a angry tone.

"Who?" Kuu asked as he pass Riku a piece of tissue.

Taking the tissue that Kuu passed to him, Riku wipe the blood and told him what happened this morning.

"You finally meet your match..." Kuu said as he laughed.

"Shut it..." Riku said.

Because of Riku's popularity, normally the girls in school will run away in shyness whenever he talks to them. This is the first time he actually
runs away, from a girl.


-Guitar music playing-

"Hear that?" Kuu asked.

"Yea...The melody is nice...and that singing voice is really sweet..." Riku said.

"Do you think its Yuki or Acchan?" Kuu asked.

"Let's go find out then..." Riku said.

As they walked towards to their friends, they saw a girl running towards Yuki.

"Its her!" Riku exclaimed and pull Kuu back from proceeding forward.

"Huh?" Kuu said, puzzled.

Seeing how frighten Riku is, he looked at that girl again.

"Thats the girl?" Kuu turned and ask Riku, with his finger pointing at the lower lip.

"..." Riku nodded his head vigorously.

"Help me..." Riku pleaded.

Seeing the others were chatting and not noticing them. Kuu pointed to the entrance.

"Let's sneak away...We will inform the others later..." Kuu whispered.

-End of flashback-

BACK AT THE GUITAR SECTION

Everyone was speechless. Trying to analyze what is going on around here. A new transfer student hanging around the lady killer, Riku. And Riku,
who looks like the one being killed instead.


"Your...Girlfriend?" Acchan asked Riku, breaking the silence.

"Yes!" Yuko said happily while Riku shakes his head in denial.

Seeing the situation, Kai and Sae decided to help their friend out.

"Oshima san...Are you here to get something?" Sae asked.

"I almost forgot! Strings!" Yuko said as she released Riku from her hug.

"Jun...You know where is it right? Why don't you show Oshima san and senpai the way..." Kai said.

"Uh..Ok...This way..." Jun said and started to walk away from the group.

"Let's go go Riku-nyan~!" Yuko said as she drags Riku with her.

"Sorry Oshima san...Riku is needed here...Right Yuki?" Sae said as he winked at Yuki.

"..." Yuki nodded.

Rena saw it, so she decided to help out too.

"Yuko chan, let's go get the strings. As long we get it, we can join them back soon. Since they are choosing a instrument, it will take a while.
Let's not disturb them."Rena said as she lock her arms with Yuko and walked.

"Since Rena san say so..." Yuko said and started to walk.

The two girls then walked away with Jun. The others signed out a sense of relief.

"That was closed...Luckily the most wise senpai is here..." Kai said.

"Most wise?" Yuki asked.

"In short, she is well respected by everyone...nickname 'Heart breaker'..." Sai explained.

"Sounds...Is it bad?" Yuki asked.

"No...Likewise...We mean it in a good way...Senpai is the true beauty in our school...She can easily talk to anyone and everyone likes to talk to her...
without airs and really caring towards her kouhais...As you can see, even Oshima san..." Kai explained but before he finish his sentence,
he felt someone staring at him.

Kai knew who person is. Its Acchan. He turned to face Acchan and saw her pouting face.

"What else? Why are you stopping?" Riku asked in a teasing tone.

"Shut it! Don't forget who helped you out..." Kai said as he slap across Riku's chest.

"What happened actually?" Sae asked in a concern tone.

Hearing Sae's question, Riku reacted like a deflected balloon. Kuu then told the others what Riku told him. Yuki and Acchan were embarrassed,
yet they admire her boldness.
While Kai and Sae reacted differently, they were worried. Kai decided to think of a way to get Yuki and Acchan away while they talk.


"Yuki...I suppose you want this guitar?" Kai asked.

"Yes... I like this very much..." Yuki said with a smile while holding the guitar.

"Let me hold this for you..." Sae said as he takes the guitar from Yuki's hands.

"Arigato." Yuki said.

"Atsuko...Can you go with Yuki to get some spare strings before we make the purchase?" Kai asked.

"Sure...You guys not coming?" Acchan asked suspiciously.

"I want to go there to take a look...I will come and find you girls later..." Kai said as he points at the piano section.

"Ok~ .Don't take too long." Acchan said and went with Yuki to get the spare strings.

Kai likes the piano here very much. Whenever he comes to this shop. He definitely will play a tune or two. With him saying that,
Acchan suspicion eased.


"Let's talk as we walk..." Kai said.

"How are you going to deal with this?" Sae asked.

"I don't know..." Riku replied.

"Your parents?" Kuu asked.

"Shanghai now...But they will be back tonight..." Riku said.

"So you don't have much time..." Sae said.

"Any chances she is your fiancee?" Kuu asked.

"Knowing my parents, they would definitely totally blow the whole matter up with days of celebrations. Where we will be like puppets,
made to walk down the aisle here and there if she were to be the one..." Riku explained.

"True." They all agreed.

"You have to reject her formally..." Sae said.

"You are right Sae...I just have to do it...But how?" Riku said.

"Let's go invite them to hang out then. We'll work accordingly from there..." Kuu said.

"Ok..." Riku said.

Then they went to look for Acchan and Yuki. Jun, Yuko and Rena were with them too. Hearing from Jun that Rena and Yuko have no other plans,
Kuu invited them to hang out. After making payment, the 9 of them decided to walk around the shopping district to spend the rest of the day.

Here's Chapter 10A!

More on Riku and Yuko :cathappy:

I accidentally made it into a long chapter that I have split this up :P2

Enjoy!!!


Chapter 10A

ALONG THE SHOPPING DISTRICT

"I'm hungry...Riku-nyan..." Yuko said as she locked her arms with Riku.

"When did you have your lunch?" Riku asked.

"Yet to have lunch...I came to see you as soon as I ended practice." Yuko said as she smiled.

"I think we just happened to meet each other..." Riku said for he know it is just pure coincidence.

"You thought so too? It must be fate!" Yuko said excitedly and tried to kiss Riku but Riku pushed her faceaway.

The guys who were walking behind them, pitied Riku. Except Jun, wondering when will he have a chance to get lovey dovey with Rena.
Acchan and Yuki was blushing with embarrassment while Rena find them a cute couple.


"Came right after practice? I suppose Matsui senpai have not eaten too..." Sae said, hinting Jun.

"Are you hungry senpai? Let's go get something  to eat! But where do we go?" Jun said as he look around the shopping district for a place to eat.

"How about there?" Rena said as she point towards the street food corner.

They walked towards the street food district and started to buy some light snacks.

STREET FOOD CORNER

"Is it heavy?" Yuki asked.

"No...Its fine." Sae replied. Sae is helping Yuki to carry her guitar.

"I'll take over in a while...Gomen..." Kai said.

"Just take care of yourself..." Sae said smiled, pointing to the bags of street food bought by Acchan.

"Wow! Takoyaki!" Acchan said and walked quickly towards the store.

As there was a long queue, Kai asked the others to proceed while he wait for Acchan. Rena, Yuki, Sae and Jun also detached from the group.
As Rena wanted to get a melon pan while Yuki looks tired, they decided to sit at a nearby bench.


"Let's eat there..." Kuu said, pointing at the park.

"Is that ok with you Riku-nyan?" Yuko asked.

"I will be more than ok if you stop calling me that..." Riku replied coldly.

"Mohhh...Riku-nyan is shy~ Kawaii~!" Yuko said as she tried to kiss Riku again but failed. As Riku walked faster to shake her off.

"Poor Riku..." Kuu thought in his mind.

They sat down and Yuko started to eat while clinging on Riku. Kuu is finding a chance to run away but Riku ask him not to until he is ready.
Seeing Yuko eating her onigiri so happily, makes Riku a little hungry. Noticing Riku staring at the onigiri, Yuko offered hers.


"You want some, Riku-nyan?" Yuko said.

"Hmm...I will just have a bite..." Riku said, unable to resist the temptation of the food anymore.

Just then, Yuko moved her face closer to Riku. Upon seeing that, Riku pushed Yuko away. Kuu is totally sympathizing Riku at this point,
while he eats his fried ebi.


"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Riku retorted.

"Share with you onigiri..." Yuko said while she points to her mouth full of onigiri.

"..." Riku is speechless.

"It's going to be hard to shake her off...Good luck Riku." Kuu said in his mind while he prays success for Riku.

"AHHHHHHHH...." A shouting voice can be heard afar.

Startled, Riku and Kuu stood up from the bench and looked around. As the voice gets nearer, they saw a guy running out from the
street food corner. It's Jun. Jun saw the 3 of them at the park. He lowered his face and ran with all his might, passing them without stopping.


"What happened? Kuu said worriedly.

If Yuko wasn't here, Riku and Kuu would definitely go after Jun together.

"Go after Jun! I'll handle the things here myself...Go now Kuu!." Riku said anxiously and gave a pushed Kuu.

"Good luck then..." Kuu said and ran after Jun.

"Daijoubu?" Yuki asked Riku.

"With Kuu gone now, if I don't say it now then when? I have to do it fast and catch up to them." Riku said to himself.

"Oshima san...I have something to tell you...Let's sit down..." Riku said as she pull Yuko to sit at the bench.

"Are you sure you don't want to go after Jun kun?" Yuko asked as she points to the direction Kuu and Jun ran.

"I'll let Kuu handle it first..." Riku said.

"What do you want to tell me?" Yuko asked excitedly while she adjust herself.

"Riku you can do this... Riku you can do this... Riku you can do this..." Riku chants in his mind.

"Oshima san...I don't know what you like about me but I don't see you as my love interest at all..." Riku said seriously as he look at Yuko.

Yuko was surprised. She did not expect Riku would reject her as she thinks up till now everything seems fine.

"Is there someone you like?" Yuko asked seriously.

"No...But..." Riku replied and was interrupted by Yuko before we can finish his sentences.

"Then it would be me! I will make you like me..." Yuko said confidently.

"It won't ever happen! We just met only! I don't even know who you are except your name and that you will be my classmate today...
Even if you consider it as love at first sight, it's you who thinks that way but not me! So can you please listen and try to understand?"
Riku shouted.

"This is not a reason...I will not accept it...There must be more to it! Who is that girl?" Yuko said as she teared.

Riku tried to be as straight forward as he can but Yuko just won't accept his explanations. Yuko keep insist that Riku have somebody
else he likes. Not wanting to waste any more time, He decided to tell the truth. Something he never told the other girls.
A secret of his that only Kuu, Kai, Sae and Jun knows.


"I have a fiancée!" Riku finally say out the real reason.

"Liar!" Yuko retorted.

"It's true! That is why I never dated everyone!" Riku said and stood up, dropping his cellphone.

"Really?" Yuko said as she wiped her tears.

Seeing how serious Riku is, Yuko finally accept his words. She then stood up and picked up his cellphone.

"Is this from your fiancée?" Yuko asked, pointing at the keychain as she lift it up for a closer look.

"No...It isn't...it was from someone else...Someone I have hurt unintentionally because of my status..." Riku explained.

"Someone you loved?" Yuko asked.

Riku did not answer her question. He feel he doesn't have the right to consider it as love. Because he had cause the girl more hurt than love.
Not getting a response from Riku, Yuko turned around and picked up her bag pack.


"I will not give up!" Yuko said and then she pull Riku down by his collar to plant a kiss on his lips.

Yuko then lifted Riku's right hand, placing his cellphone carefully on his palm and ran out the park. Leaving Riku alone.

Tears rolled down Riku's cheeks. He felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"Why do I feel this way...Why is this familiar pain coming back..." Riku asked himself.

"Ringggging"

Riku wiped his tears and answer the phone call.

"Moshi..." Riku said.

"What?" Riku said as he display a shocked expression.

"I'll be back soon..." Riku said and ended the call. He then ran out the park.

AT THE RIVERBANK

Kuu chased Jun all the way to the side of the riverbank. No matter how much he called out to Jun, Jun would not response or stop.

"ARGHHH!" Kuu shouted and jumped on Jun.

The two of them lost their balance and fall into the river. Jun struggled to get out of the river. Not wanting to let Jun escape, Kuu locked
his arms around Jun's shoulder from the back of Jun.


"Let me go! LET ME GO!" Jun shouted as he continue to struggle.

"JUN! STOP!" Kuu retorted.

Both of them wrestled, lost their balanced and fall again. Jun was sitting lifelessly. Kuu crawled toward Jun, wanted to ask him what happened.

"Dup...Dup..."

The sound of water droplets can be heard. The water source is from Jun, Jun is crying.

"Jun...What happened?" Kuu asked worriedly.

"Just leave me alone will you?" Jun retorted.

"Jun! How can I do that...We are best friends aren't we? What just happened?" Kuu shouted.

"We are not! Best friends don't steal girlfriends their friends love!" Jun retorted and throw a punch at Kuu.

"What are you talking about?" Kuu asked, as he press his right hand on his cheek where Jun punched.

Jun sees Kuu as his punching bag, so he continue to pull a few punches at Kuu. However, Kuu did not throw a single punch at Jun.
He knew Jun is not a right state in his mind and he have nothing against him. If he punch Jun, it might make things worse. So he just
tried to dodge his punches as much as he can.


Exhausted. Both of them lied on the grass patch. Kuu managed to dodge most of the punches. So he got away with some minor bruises
on his face and hands.


"Why didn't you return the punches..." Jun asked.

"For those are not punches...They are your pain...So I can handle it..." Kuu replied as he pat his chest.

"Idiot..." Jun said, but he was really touched by Kuu's words.

"Hey..." Kuu called out.

"What..." Jun said softly.

"Who is it?" Kuu asked.

"......" Jun did not reply, forging ignorance.

Kuu tried to recall. Kai and Acchan was the first to leave the main group, followed by Jun, Sae, Yuki and senpai.

"Sae?" Kuu asked.

                 Haha...I like to twist here and there so...
                 Here's 10B! Let's see the which possibilities you list out is correct! Hahaha


Chapter 10B

-Flashback-

STREET FOOD CORNER

The 4 of them sat on a nearby bench after Rena bought her melon pan. They decided to wait for Kai and Acchan before they go find
Riku and the others. So they started to eat.


"Yosh..." Sae said as he gently put down Yuki's guitar.

"Arigato..." Yuki said and took out a tissue and wipe the sweat on Sae's forehead.

"Anybody want a drink?" Rena asked.

"Are you thirsty, senpai?" Jun asked.

"Kind of...And I finished my drink..." Rena said as she shake her water bottle.

"Senpai you stay here and eat! I'll get it!" Jun volunteered.

"Jun, I'll go with you..."  Sae said and stands up.

"You want anything?"  Sae asked Yuki.

"I'll go instead...You stay here to rest awhile..." Yuki said.

"You should rest...Not me..." Sae retorted.

Yuki stared at Sae and pouted. Seeing that, Sae gave up. Jun and Yuki took their orders and went to get the drinks together.

"You really are a nice guy, Miyazawa kun."  Rena said.

"Meaning...?" Sae asked.

"Being so nice to the people around you...Even willing to be their cupid..." Rena said.

"What are you trying to say?" Sae asked as he looked at Rena.

"Is she the girl you like?" Rena asked.

"I don't have anyone in mind..." Sae replied.

"Are you forging ignorance? " Rena said.

"No I'm not...Just what do you want from me?" Sae said impatiently.

"Is she the reason why you rejected me?" Rena asked in a serious tone.

"No! Didn't I already make myself clear last time?" Sae retorted.

"The way you treat and care about her...You still deny she is not the reason? Prove it to me then...Can you swear to me that you
don't love Yuki san at all?" Rena said agitatedly.

Rena made a demanding request to Sae. Which makes Sae feels that this conversation is getting ridiculous. He decided to go look for Jun and Yuki.
Allowing Rena to cool her head off.


"Where are you going!" Rena asked.

"I'm going to find them...You can try to keep your cool here..." Sae said.

"Wait! I said wait!" Rena said agitatedly and quickly follow Sae from behind.

"Paaa..."

Rena hugged Sae from behind.

"What are you doing senpai!" Sae said as he tried to release himself from Rena's grip.

"Why are you treating me so coldly...You know it...You know how much I loved you..." Rena said as tears started to roll down from her eyes.

"Senpai! Get hold of yourself!" Sae said as he grabbed Rena's hands and manage to release himself from Rena's hug.

Hearing Rena's feelings towards him again. He realized he have unintentionally caused hurt to Jun and Rena. As he thought Rena had moved on
from him, developing feelings for Jun. Knowing Jun likes Rena too, he encourage Jun to confess and tried his best to help him think of ways to ask
her out. But he was wrong. Seeing Rena calmer now, he released Rena's hands.


"I thought you moved on...Gomen..." Sae said.

"No...I just can't...I can't stop myself from loving you, no matter how hard I tried my best for these 2 years... I thought as long as I do my best,
you would notice me..." Rena said while she cries.

Hearing that, anger starts to build up in Sae.

"Then why are you being so nice to Jun when you don't even like him? Even I misunderstood...Don't you know he might misunderstand too? "
Sae asked angrily as he looks at Rena.

"I just treat him like a younger brother and nothing else! Wasn't you the one who try to push him to me?" Rena retorted.

"Pakkk..."

The water cups dropped on the floor. The sound came from a advertisement board in front of Sae and Rena, not too far away from them.
Jun walked out with tears in his eyes and looked at them.


"Liars!" Jun shouted and ran off.

"JUN!!!" Kai, Acchan and Yuki called out.

-End of flashback-

AT THE RIVERBANK

Regaining his composure, Jun starts to think through. Actually he cannot put the blame on Sae, as it is Rena who likes Sae. Jun starts to recall
how Sae tried to help him out with Rena. Recalling the conversation earlier on, Sae and him read the signal from Rena wrongly. That leads to how
things are now. In the end, it's the mind's fault. Over thinking and reading the situation.


"No...Sae did nothing...Since we have no girlfriend to start with...Nothing to steal and best friends don't do such things to each other..." Jun said.

"Oh...Ok..." Kuu said with a sense of relief.

The 5 of them have been best of friends since middle school. Kuu can't imagine if they were to fall out now. With Jun saying that, Kuu is impressed
at how mature Jun is. Even though there is definitely something going on between Jun, Sae and Rena. He decided not to ask any questions further.


"Kuu! Jun!"

They stood up to see who is calling out to them.

"Riku!" Both of them shouted and wave at him.

"Kai needs our help!! Emergency!!" Riku shouted.

Hearing that, Kuu and Jun quickly ran towards Riku. Riku was shocked to see Kuu having bruises on his face and hands while Jun is not hurt at all.

"What happened between you 2?" Riku asked in a worried tone.

"I'll fill you in later...But first...What happened to Kai?" Kuu asked.

"Sae says he fell when he wanted to chase after Jun... Then Yuki fainted too... So he want me and Kuu to go help...But Kuu is chasing after you too...
So I decided to look for you 2 first before heading back.." Riku explained.

"It's my fault... " Jun reprimanded himself.

"It's an accident Jun...We can't waste time anymore! Let's go find them now..." Kuu said.

"Kuu's right...Let's go..." Riku said.

They ran quickly back to where Kai and the others is.

STREET FOOD CORNER

"KAI!!" Called out.

Riku, Kuu and Jun ran towards Kai.

"Kuu...your face..." Kai said worriedly.

"That's not important...What on earth happened!" Kuu said with a cracked voice as he see the amount of blood oozing out of Kai's leg.

"Riku...take over Acchan...We need to apply more pressure to stop the bleeding." Jun instructed and quickly ran over to the bench where Yuki is lying.

"Let me do it..." Riku said and quickly take over Acchan.

"How is she? How long is she unconscious? " Jun asked like a professional doctor as he look at Sae.

"About 10 minutes..." Sae said.

Jun then check for the presence of Yuki's pulse and breathing.  Jun was taught basic medical knowledge as he came from a family of doctors.
He is expected to take over his family business one day.


"Breathing and pulse present...However the pulse rate is unusual..." Jun said.

Back at where they introduce Yuki at the cafe, Jun wasn't around. Over the phone chat with Sae, Jun came to meet up with them because he is
curious how Kai's sister looks like. So Jun doesn't know Yuki's condition is far more serious than he can imagine. Hearing Jun's 'analysis' about
Yuki, Sae told him Yuki have a heart condition.


"We better call an ambulance and send both of them to the hospital...We cannot drag any longer..." Jun said seriously.

"Ok...Right away..." Sae said and then made the call.

After 5 minutes, the ambulance came. Taking Kai and Yuki while Sae and Acchan accompany them.

"You coming?" Riku asked while Kuu and Jun just sat in the cab quietly.

"No..." Rena replied.

"Please take care from here then Senpai..." Riku said and he closed the cab door.

The rest went to the hospital via cab except Rena. She is feeling really guilty and does not know how to face Jun, who she had hurt.

"What have I done..." Rena said as she sees them off.

Chapter 11

AT THE HOSPITAL

The doctor looked at the printed report the nurse passed to him. He then start to do the necessary diagnostic test on Yuki. Kai is getting
his deep cut on his right leg stitched and Kuu getting his bruises cared by the nurses. The others waited patiently outside the emergency unit.


"Hello...This is Matsui Jun...Can I speak to Dr.Watanabe Mayu of the Heart Specialist Department?" Jun made a request using Riku's cellphone, as
his is drenched.

"Where are they?" A voice called out to them.

They turned and saw Tomonobu. Sae explained the situation to him.

"Uncle...Kai and Yuki will be fine...Please take a sit first." Riku said and offered his seat.

"Uncle...I already informed the heart specialist...They will be coming right now to see Yuki...She will be ok..." Jun said as he tried to assure
Tomonubu that Yuki will be well taken care of.

"Arigato gozaimasu..." Tomonobu said with a bow,  to show his appreciation.

"No Sir...I just did what I think is right..." Jun said as he tried to stop Tomonobu from bowing to him.

-Door opening-

"Kai!!" Acchan said.

"Are you guys alright?" Riku asked as he walked towards to help Kai who is crippling.

"The doctor accessed that we are ok...So they say we can be released..." Kuu said.

"Kai! Where's Yuki?" Tomonobu asked with a worried tone.

"Yuki has woken...But because of her...condition... They need to conduct some test on her to make sure everything is ok...Arigato Jun...
For getting the heart specialist to attend to her..." Kai said.

There is nothing more they can do but wait for the results .They remained silent as they wait outside for about an hour.

"How did all these happened? Can anyone kindly explain to me?" Tomonobu asked, breaking the silence.

Seeing Kuu all bruised up, his son getting a bad injury and his daughter's condition still unknown. Tomonobu demanded an explanation from them.

-Flashback-

STREET FOOD CORNER

Worried about Jun, Kai decided to go after him.

"Wait here! I will go after him!" Kai said anxiously to Acchan and Yuki.

"Be careful!" Acchan said.

Just when Kai started to run off, Yuki fainted.

"Yukirin!!" Acchan shouted and tried to hold on to Yuki, preventing her from falling back.

Sae and Rena quickly ran over to help Acchan hold Yuki. Kai startled by Acchan's shout, tripped and fell. Kai got his right leg badly cut by a big rock.
Despite the pain, he quickly get on his feet and ran back to Yuki. Giving up chase on Jun. Sae carried Yuki to the bench with Kai.


"Kai...It wouldn't stop...What should I do?" Acchan cried as she use her hands to apply pressure, attempting to stop the bleeding on Kai's right leg.

"It's ok Atsuko...Please don't cry..." Kai wiped her tears as he assure Acchan.

"Yuki san! Wake up..." Rena called out.

"I better get Riku back to help us..." Kai thought in his mind as he looked at Yuki.

"Hmm..." Yuki said.

Just then, Yuki starts to regain her consciousness. Kai decided to change his initial plan.

"We need more help...Call Riku and Kuu to help...Ask them to go after Jun if they see him...We can't leave him as he is now!"
Kai said in a serious tone while holding his pain.

"But you and Yuki..." Sae said as he hesitated.

"Just tell Riku what I say...Please!" Kai shouted.

Sae called Riku and told him about the situation they are having now. Then he conveyed Kai's message to Riku. But after awhile, Yuki fall back
into unconsciousness.


-End of flashback-

"It was..." Jun said halfway but was interrupted by Kai.

"I had an argument with Kuu and accidently tripped...Yuki must be in shock for the behavior we displayed...Tou san...Gomenasai..." Kai said as
he tried to stand up and bow.

Kai lied. With Yuki's condition now, he would definitely unable to keep this from his mother. If his mother were to know what exactly happened,
she will definitely make a big fuss. He doesn't want Jun, Riku and Sae to get into trouble. So before he and Kuu exit the emergency room, they
came up with this lie together.


"Acchan...Is it really true?" Tomonobu asked Acchan seriously.

"Uncle..I am sorry...I didn't stop Kai in time and did not take good care of Yuki...Letting her see the barbaric side of Kai...She must be very shocked..."
Acchan said as she sobbed.

"Arigato..Atsuko.." Kai thought in his mind.

"Stop crying Acchan, it is not your fault...I understand now, so stop blaming yourself. Why don't you guys go back and rest? I can handle from here..."
Tomonobu said as he gesture them to leave the hospital.

"Tou san...I will wait with you..." Kai said.

"It's already a very bad day with this. I need to think of how to break this news to your Oka san. So please go back first. Let me be alone Kai..."
Tomonobu said as he lean his head back with both his hands on his neck.

"Gomensai.." Kai said and bowed to his father.   

They left the hospital, leaving Tomonobu alone.

"Why Kai...why you..." Tomonobu said.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL

"GOMENASAI!" Jun said as he bow to Kai.

"It's still early isn't it...I still don't want to go home..." Kai said, ignoring Jun's apology.

"But you need to rest...So let's go back now!" Acchan insisted.

"Why don't we go there?" Sae said.

UNDER THE SAKURA TREE

"Wow..." Kuu said, admiring the scenery around.

"Never ever will I get tired of this..." Jun said as he spread out his arms, enjoying the breeze in the late afternoon.

"Yupp...Best place on earth!" Kai said in agreement with Jun.

"Sorry for the wait...Here's your keys..." Acchan said.

Riku and Sae followed Acchan to Kai's house to grab some snacks and drinks.

"Arigato..." Kai said as he take his keys back.

"When was the last time we came here all together..." Kuu said as he tried to open the chips.

"Hmm...About a year ago? After the basketball championship..." Riku said.

"Bad memories..." Jun said.

"We lost...to them...like yesterday..." Kai said sadly.

They lost to Majisuka Academy last year during their debut High School Basketball Championship.

As they were the pioneer batch of basketball players during their middle school, they do not have enough high school basketball players
when they graduated from middle school. The high school division team only consist 7 people then.


"We might be able to win if they are still in the team..." Riku said.

"Let's not talk about them..." Kai said.

"Yeah...We are already in a bad shape..." Kuu said as he rubbed his cheeks.

"Gomen..Kuu..." Jun apologized.

"Rather than hearing you apologize...I rather know what happened..." Kuu said.

"......" Jun stopped in his thoughts.

"Why not I start first?" Riku voluteered as he sees Jun hesitating.

"What do you mean?" Acchan asked as she popped a cherry tomato into her mouth.

Riku told them he already told Yuko the truth of having a fiancée and how she refused to give up. He did not mention the part where he
actually felt his heart broken as he blame it on the mood, not because he has feelings for her.


"You have a fiancée?  Wow..." Acchan said and was amazed by the new discovery.

"Yeah...He has one 'Unidentified Final Onna' in his life...'UFO' in short..." Kai said.

"What's that?" Jun ask.

"A person he doesn't know and the final woman in his life...The end..." Kuu explained.

"BWAHAHAHAHA..." Everyone burst out laughing except Riku.

"Hey stop it...That really hurts...Not being able to be with the one you love and to be surrounded by girls but can only admire them as if they
were paintings...Unlike the two of you..." Riku said sadly as he points at Kai and Acchan.

"What?! Who would love this midget who eats katsudon everyday! Eating that does not help you grow taller!" Acchan said agitatedly.

"Huh? Who would actually fall in love with THIS LOUD GIRL who claims the songs she composed is the best but dare not take part in any
competition?" Kai retorted.

"You..." Kai and Acchan said as they stare at each other.

"Pass me the coke..." Kuu asked Jun.

"Here..." Jun said as he pass Kuu the coke.

"Where's the choco bar..." Sae said as he search the plastic bags.

"Hey! Listen to us!" Kai and Acchan said.

"Now you are making me really sad...Couple talk somewhere else please...shoo shoo..." Riku said, gesturing them to go elsewhere.

"Ok...Enough of these Kai X Acchan moments...We still have issues to sort out here..." Kuu said.

"What happened between you and Jun then?" Riku asked.

"Well..." Kuu said, wondering how he should explain.

"Actually..." Jun said.

Jun explained the sequence of events that happened. The reason why he ran off and how Kuu stopped him at the riverbank.

"Gomen Kuu..." Sae said.

"You should be..." Kuu said.

"Wow...Shocking...Rena Senpai likes Sae?" Riku said.

"Sae...You did nothing wrong...I should be the one apologizing..." Jun said softly.

"No...Kuu is right...I should have told everybody about it...I guess I am too naive...Thinking that since I rejected her...Everything will be back
to normal..." Sae said.

"Well...I think nobody expected this...So don't put the blame on yourself..." Kai said.

"Hmph..." Acchan said, pouting.

"What are you pouting for?" Kai said as he pinch Acchan's lips.

"Ouch! I am a girl! So Sae, you should have discuss with me...A girl's heart is very delicate...You should not take it lightly..." Acchan said as
she slaps Kai's hands.

"You got a point there...Acchan..." Kuu said as he munch the chips.

"We really got surprised there...I thought Senpai is interested in Jun...I never notice it was Sae all along and for 2 years..." Kai said.

"I was even surprised that the 4 of you managed to hide behind the advertisement board nicely...When were you guys there?" Sae said.

"Well...We met Jun and Yuki at the drinks stall and then we walked back together. Then we saw you and Senpai...So we thought we could
give you and Senpai a surprise...That board there is the only thing available to conceal our identities...After that, well you know...But Senpai
being so bold is really unexpected..." Kai said.

"Like I always told ya...Never toy with a girl's feeling...We can be nice or NASTY~" Acchan said proudly.

"No...We just heard and realize that from you...It wasn't before..." Kai said.

"Slaps..."

"Ouch! My back hurts!" Kai retorted.

"So you heard everything we said? Sae asked.

"No...starting from 'Chapter 4.8' where you say "I thought you moved on...Gomen"...While you look at Senpai's eyes tenderly..." Acchan said.

"You are exaggerating things! You watched too much dramas and this is not funny at all..." Kai said.

"Hehehe...Gomen..." Acchan said.

"Can I know what happened between you and Senpai?" Jun asked Sae.

"......" Sae is thinking where should he start with.

"Does it help knowing it now?" Riku asked concernly.

"Yes...To give myself a reason to give up..." Jun replied.

                Here's chapter 12!


Chapter 12

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

As Rena make her way back home, she passed by the park where she first confessed to Sae. Rena decided to rest at the park while she sort out her thoughts.

-Flashback-

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

(2 years ago where Rena is a 1st year high school student and Sae, a final year middle school student)

"SPIKE"

"Ehh...There's someone earlier than me..." Sae said as he enters the court.

Rena stopped practicing as she see Sae walking in.

"Ohayo..Matsui Senpai..." Sae said as he bows as soon as he saw Rena.

"Ohayo..." Rena said.

"Gomen Senpai...I didn't know the high school division practice is still on ...Sorry for the intrusion... I will make a move first..." Sae said.

The schedule of the court is planned as alter day usage for the middle and high school sports clubs. Today the high school sports clubs decided to take a break from training.

"No..I'm on my own...Feel free to use it if you want..." Rena said and went back to her own practice.

"Arigato gozaimasu..." Sae said and started his own practice.

-2 hours passed-

"Pant"

Rena was still practicing hard by herself. Suddenly, a sharp pain strikes her. She slowly drag her body towards the rest area while squeezing her stomach.

"Senpai..." Sae called out.

"What is it? How come I help you? Rena asked as she tried not to show the pain she is having now. So she forced a smile.

"Can I borrow 100 yen?" Sae asked politely.

"Mmm...Sure..." Rena said and took out 100 yen from her purse, passing it to Sae.

"Arigato gozaimasu Senpai , I will make a move first... Otsukaresama!" Sae said as he bows.

"Take care on your way back..." Rena said.

Sae then ran out of the court as fast as he can.

After Sae left,  Rena look around the empty court. A sense of loneliness starts to build up in her. Not able to hold it any longer, Rena cried. Thinking how useless she is.
She had an argument with her volleyball Senpais yesterday as she meddle too much in how they should train. And now, having a gastric pain and nobody is around to show her concern.
She felt really lost.


"Why am I here?" Rena asked herself.

"Anooo...Anybody here? A girl voice called out loudly.

Startled. Rena quickly wipe her tears.

"Hai..." Rena said.

Rena tried to pull her painful body up and walked towards the entrance.

"Ah...Matsui Senpai...Konnichiwa!" Acchan said as she bows.

"Konnichiwa...You are...Maeda san? Am I right?" Rena asked.

"Hai! Maeda Atsuko desu!" Acchan said.

"How come I help you?" Rena asked.

"Here...Your order!" Acchan said as she hand Rena a big plastic bag.

Puzzled. Rena carefully take the bag from Acchan and look inside. The bag is full of melon pans with a can of ice cold melon soda by the side.

"I did not order these..." Rena said.

"Ehhh...He said you ordered and asked me to pass you this to you...That is weird...Did I get the wrong person?" Acchan said as she wonder.

Just then, Rena notice someone is hiding behind a big pillar near the water basin area. It's Sae.

"Miyazawa?" Rena asked.

"Yeah...He told me to pass it to a Senpai at the basketball court...Is there another Senpai here?" Acchan nodded and ask Rena.

"No...I ordered this, I was just joking with you...Arigato gozaimasu Maeda san. Help me convey my thanks to Miyazawa Kun too..." Rena said with a smile.

From then on, Rena starts to develop interest in Sae. As Sae, Kai, Riku, Jun and Kuu are the famous 5 in Akiba Academy, getting to know more about Sae is not difficult. But Rena tries to know all
about the 5 of them to avoid suspicion. Getting most of the information from Kitahara and Acchan, as they are their classmates. She would talk or show her concern to each of them like any Senpai
would say or do to their Kouhai.


AT AKIHABARA PARK

Rena was on her way home after her volleyball practice. Today's practice was much later than usual, it was already pitched black when the club session ended.

 "MMM!!!"

Suddenly, someone covered her mouth and dragged her into the bushes. Rena is in shock.

"Let me go..." Rena said as she struggles.

The attacker took out his knife and pointed her Rena.

"Give me your bag!" The attacked demanded.

Rena was appointed to help collect funds from the volleyball club members for their upcoming camp. There were about 50,000 yen.

"No...I can't give it to you..." Rena said as she hold her bag tightly.

"Give it to me now or I will kill you!!!" The attacked said angrily.

"No...Please...It's really important to me..." Rena begged.

"You little..." The attacked said and raise his knife.

As the attacker was about to stab Rena, somebody grabbed the attacker from behind.  It was Sae. The attacker is really furious now, he shake Sae off him and Sae fell to the ground. He then
charge towards Rena with his knife!


"AHHHH!!"

Sae grabbed the attacker's knife with his bare hands.

"Run...Senpai! Quick!" Sae said.

"But..." Rena said as she hesitated.

"Beeeeep! Beep! Beep! Beeeeeep!"

Hearing that, the attacker panic and starts to run. However, he was too late. The police caught him as he was surrounded and nowhere to run to. Before Sae confront the attacked,
he informed the police.


"Are you ok?" Sae asked.

"Gomenasai...gomen..." Rena said as tears roll down her cheeks. Looking at the cut on Sae's left palm.

"It's just a cut...Otherwise, I am perfectly fine! Most importantly Senpai, you are ok..." Sae said with a smile.

The police took Sae and Rena to the hospital and also took down their testimony. Their parents were informed and they were waiting for them to arrive.

"Arigato Miyazawa kun..." Rena said.

"It's nothing actually..." Sae said as he shakes his bandaged hand.

"I never seen you around there before...What are you doing around there?" Rena asked.

"I was on my way to find Otou san..Then I saw Senpai walking in front of me...When I was about to call you...Erm well...Things happened..." Sae explained.

Then Rena remembered something.

"Oh no...You have a practice match tomorrow right?" Rena asked seriously.

"Yar...How did you know that?" Sae said.

"Matsui kun told me...Gomenasai...I caused you trouble...Gomenasai..." Rena said as she started to cry.

"It really is fine...I still can play...You were not at fault..." Sae said.

"How...Your palm got cut...How are you going..." Rena said and was interrupted.

"This is nothing...My will power is stronger than how pain feels..." Sae said as he flexed his arms.

"..." Rena looked at Sae's hand.

"Senpai...Come watch our match tomorrow...I will show you that this is really nothing and we will win with this..." Sae said confidently as he points at his left palm.

THE NEXT DAY

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

Sae wore a hand guard and with his best friend's support, he was able to play throughout the match without any problems. They also won against their opponent with a big margin.
Rena was really amazed by Sae's determination and will power to overcome any odds. She realized that Sae had unknowingly become her pillar of strength whenever she is down.


Hence, she decided to muster her courage to confess.

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

"Senpai!" Sae called out.

"Konnichiwa...On your way to go find your Otou san?" Rena asked.

"Yes...Were you out shopping?" Sae asked.

"No...I was waiting for someone actually..." Rena replied.

"Oh...Ok then...I won't disturb you any further...Take care Senpai.." Sae said and waved goodbye to Rena.

"No! Wait! Don't go..." Rena said as she pull Sae's bag and looked down.

"Wasn't you waiting for a friend?" Sae asked.

"It was you..." Rena said and looked at Sae

"Erm...Senpai?" Sae said as he was confused.

"I like you! Please go out with me, Miyazawa Sae kun..." Rena said as she looked at Sae, blushing.

Upon hearing the confession, Sae paused to think.

"Arigato senpai..." Sae said softly.

"Then..." Rena said happily but was interrupted by Sae.

"I am really honored but...Gomenasai! I cannot accept your feelings!" Sae said and bowed down.

Rena was shocked. She thought Sae had accepted her confession when he thank her.

"Why? Was I not good enough? Or do you have someone you like?" Rena asked with tears forming around her eyes.

"Senpai...I don't deserve you, it wasn't because you are not good and I do not have...anyone I like...I am not ready to commit to any relationship at this moment...Gomen..."
Sae explained.

Rena does not believe this is Sae's main reason. She is determined to find out more.

"Yuki..." Rena said.

Sae is shocked that Rena would mention Yuki's name.

"What? How did you know that name...Who told you that?" Sae asked anxiously.

"And so, you were lying to me? Is this Yuki the person you like?" Rena asked after she saw Sae's reaction upon hearing that name.

"No! She is just...a sister to me!" Sae retorted.

"Why can't you be honest with me? Why are you cruel?" Rena asked.

What Rena just said totally hit Sae badly. Someone told him the same thing before.

"I am disappointed in you, Senpai...I didn't expect you to be such a person...Digging into other people's privacy..." Sae said coldly.

Hearing that, Rena ran off. She is really sad and hurt by Sae's words. She decided to give up on Sae. She tells herself she will become a much better person which will make Sae regret
rejecting her confession.


-End of flashback-

UNDER THE SAKURA TREE

"Whenever she is in a slumps, you were there...Maybe that is the reason she likes you..." Kai said.

"That is why you should not treat girls too nice...They might misunderstand..." Acchan said.

"What are you talking about? Wasn't you the one who say a girl's heart is delicate? So isn't treating them nicely the right way?" Kai retorted.

"I mean treat ALL GIRLS! There is a deeper meaning of delicate...You wouldn't understand..." Acchan said.

"Now I totally get it...A girl's heart is very complicate! Especially yours, Atsuko..." Kai said

"KAI!" Acchan said and pinched his cheeks.

"Jun?" Kuu called out.

"Hmm..." Jun said.

"Gomen..." Sae said.

"For?" Jun asked.

"Everything..." Sae said.

"Everyone...Look at that..." Jun said and pointed at the sky.

The sun begin to set down accompanied by the orange sky light.

"Do you think Senpai is looking at what we are looking at now?" Jun said as he look at the sky.

"Jun..." Kuu said.

"Well...All I can say is, at the time and place where Senpai doesn't want people to find her or need someone to help her...Sae is  always there...I couldn't match all that..."
Jun said cheerfully.

"I'm glad you think that way and I am really glad to have you as my friend..." Kuu said.

"Wait! What about us?" Riku asked Kuu anxiously.

"Hahahahaha.."  Everyone laughed at Riku's silly question.

The night sky slowly took over the evening sky. Under the dark sky, stars begin to shine. Revealing the brightness they have been hiding before night falls.

"I will not hide anymore..." Jun said to himself as he look at the starry stars with his friends.

AT AKIHABARA PARK

"Beautiful..." Rena said as she looked at the sky.

Feeling determined, she decided to do something she has been hesitating to do.

"I will not hesitate anymore..." Rena said and make her way back home.

All of them went back home. They were really tired as their rest day was really chaotic. It seems like a whole series of drama that should be running for days is being jam packed into 1 day.
 But they all know, their friendship is definitely stronger than before.

Chapter 13

THE NEXT DAY

AT THE HOSPITAL

Yuki opened her eyes and saw Tomonobu sleeping on the chair beside her.

"Hmm..." Tomonobu started to open his sleepy eyes.

"Ohayo...Otou san.." Yuki greeted Tomonobu with a smile.

"Yuki?" Tomonobu said.

The sound of fast walking footsteps echoed through the hallway of the hospital. It became louder as it comes closer to Yuki's room.

"Yukirin!" Minami called out.

"Oka san...Ohayo..." Yuki greeted with a smile.

"Are you ok? Are you in pain?" Minami asked anxiously.

"I'm fine Oka san..." Yuki said.

"You are not fine if you are here...We just came back and now you are hospitalized...We should have stay in America..." Minami said worriedly.

"Oka san...You are over worrying things..." Yuki said.

"Ohayo...Takahashi san" Dr Watanabe said.

"Ahh...Mayuyu?" Minami said.

Dr Watanabe is shocked when she hears her nickname. It took her quite some time before she recognize Minami.

"Sou-chan?" Dr Watanabe said.

(Minami and Dr Watanabe are University classmates. They were at the same hospital when they were an intern doctor. They even choose
the same major and understudy the same Professor. They lost touch after Minami went to America with Yuki.)


"Long time no see!" Minami and Dr Watanabe said.

"It's really good to see you again..." Minami said as she holds Dr Watanabe's hands.

"No wonder I find Takahashi san...Familiar...I didn't realize he is Sou-chan's husband... And Yuki...She's all grown up now..." Dr Watanabe said.

"Yes...She sure is ..." Minami said tenderly.

"Erm...Is my daughter alright?" Tomonobu asked.

"Oh sorry about that... Based on the diagnostics test we did, she fainted due to fatigue and have minor cold...She can be discharged..."
Dr Watanabe said.

"Fatigue...What did you do yesterday?" Minami asked Yuki seriously.

"Erm...Arigato Dr Watanabe, so Yuki can be discharge now?" Tomonobu asked, trying to help Yuki avoid answering to Minami's question.

"Yes..The nurse here will help you handle the discharge procedures from here...Now if you please excuse me, I have to attend to another patient..."
Dr Watanabe said.

"Arigato Mayuyu...We'll catch up again soon." Minami said.

After Dr Watanabe left. Being used to handle Yuki's matters, Minami asked Tomonobu to help Yuki pack up while she settle Yuki's discharge procedure.

"Otou san...Is Kai ok?" Yuki asked.

"He should be at home resting..." Tomonobu replied as he help Yuki get out of her bed.

"Yokatta.." Yuki said and she head to the bathroom to get changed.

After that, Tomonobu and Minami took Yuki back home.

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

While the other basketball members were practicing.

"What is the meaning of this? Care to explain?" Akimoto shouted at Kai and Kuu.

"We..had a small fight...Gomenasai Akimoto Sensei!!" Kai said as he and Kuu bows to Akimoto.

"What! I told you guys to have good rest yesterday and was hoping that you can reflect on your own actions or differences! I did not ask
you to conduct any actions or settle any difference with each other!" Akimoto shouted.

The whole court is filled with Akimoto's reprimanding shouts towards Kai and Kuu. The volley girls was wondering what happened to
Kai and Kuu. As they are having self practice today, they acted as if they were practicing. Actually, they were trying to follow the conversation
between Akimoto, Kai and Kuu.


"It wasn't their fault...Why did they say that...Why did they lie..." Rena said sadly.

"Rena san? What did you say? What's wrong?" Yuko asked.

"Nothing..." Rena said upon hearing Yuko's question posted to her.

Remembering when Riku, Kuu and Jun came back to find them after what happened, she realized Yuko was nowhere to be seen.

"Yuko chan...Where were you yesterday? I didn't see you when Riku came back to find us..." Rena said.

"Oh that...I was rejected by Riku-nyan and was really sad...So I went back home." Yuko said as she practice tossing the volleyball.

"You were rejected? Erm...Are you ok?" Rena asked with a concern look on her face. She was amazed to see how calm Yuko is despite
being rejected.

"I am ok...Why?" Yuko asked as she hold the volleyball.

"You were rejected yesterday and now...Do you want to take a rest today? Sensei is not here so it's ok if you want to leave early..."
Rena said with a concern look.

"I am prefectly fine! What happened is yesterday, it's different from today! I will give it my best today!" Yuko said cheerfully.

"But being rejected...Won't you be thinking of giving up when you went back home?" Rena asked seriously.

"Yupp, I gave up yesterday and went back home is because I need to think of ways to counter attack Riku-nyan the next day...I will not give
up so easily! He is mine!" Yuko declare proudly.

Rena is totally amazed and respect Yuko's attitude of not giving up easily.

"Beeep"

"Take 10!" Akimoto blew the whistle and said. Letting his players take 10 minutes break and went for his too.

Sae, Riku and Jun ran over quickly to Kai and Kuu.

"What did..." Riku was asking Kai and Kuu halfway, was interrupted.

"Pakkkk..."

"Riku-nyannnn!" Yuko said as she jumped on Riku.

Yuko's bold action shocked her volleyball team mates. They were really excited to see what will happen next and all of them were looking at
their direction.


"..." Riku signed.

"Wow...Oshima san..." Kuu said and showed his thumbs up. He is amazed that Yuko is still so clingy on Riku despite yesterday's rejection.

"What's did Sensei say?" Jun asked as he is not interested at Yuko's bold action towards Riku.

"Just the usual stuff...Don't fight, control our temper...Me being captain should set good example...nothing much..." Kai said.

"What about practice?" Sae asked.

"Well...Kai is to do shooting practice until his wound is healed while I can continue normal practice since its just bruises..." Kuu said.

"Yokatta..." Riku said while trying to shake Yuko off him.

"Gomen...I got you into this because I am such a child..." Jun said sadly.

"Slaps"

"Didn't we agree not to bring this up anymore?" Kuu said as he slapped Jun's back.

"You were great help...Honestly...We wouldn't know what to do with a situation like that...You really save us back there..." Sae said.

"What happened?" Yuko asked as she tighten her hug over Riku's back.

"Senpai..." Jun said as Rena approach them.

"Jun kun...Do you have a minute to spare?" Rena asked.

"...Ok..." Jun said and followed Rena.

"Confession? Is Rena san going to confess?" Yuko said excitedly.

"Shut up!" Riku said and finally managed to 'pluck' Yuko off his back.

"Let's go back to practice..." Kai said the guys left.

"Wait up! Riku-nyan~" Yuko said and followed them.

OUTSIDE THE BASKETBALL COURT

"Jun kun...Gomenasai!" Rena said and bowed.

"Don't do that! Senpai! Get up...Everyone is looking, they might get the wrong idea! Please stop bowing..." Jun exclaimed.

"I am in the wrong...I don't mind them seeing it...Gomen!" Rena said and refused to get her back up.

".....What if they thought you were confessing to me?" Jun said.

Hearing that, Rena lift her back up and looked around.

"Looks like being with me is really bad..." Jun said sadly.

"No...I don't mean it that way! Gomen!" Rena said and starts to bow again.

"I was just joking! Senpai...I think I, being the person who confess to you is more believable. They probably thought you were
rejecting my confession kindly..." Jun said with a smile.

"Gomen..." Rena said as she look at Jun.

"Is that all you have to say to me?" Jun asked.

"No...that's not all...I wanted..." Rena said halfway and was interrupted.

The other guys were on their way back to the basketball court after their break. They were looking intensively at Rena and Jun.
Eager to find out what happened.


"Are you free after practice? Can I talk to you later?" Rena asked softly.

"Ok..." Jun replied. Then he turned to face the other guys.

"Hey! Mind your own business! Stop eavesdropping on others!" Jun retorted and went back to the basketball court.

"Senpai..." The guys greeted Rena one by one as they went back in to the court.

-2 hours later-

"Beep"

"End of practice for today...Make sure you clean and pack up the court before you leave. Understand?" Akimoto asked.

"HAI!"

"With Inter-high up next, do not get yourself into any more troubles these few days before the new term starts! Understand?!?"
Akimoto said as he looks at Kai and Kuu.

"HAI!"

"With that, see you next week! Dismissed!" Akimoto said and left the court.

"ARIGATO GOZAIMASU SENSEI!!!"

Togther with the volley girls, they were able to finish cleaning and packing quickly.

"Lunch anyone?" Riku asked.

"ME!!" Yuko said and cling on Riku again.

"I'm not asking you! Get off me now!" Riku said and try to push Yuko away.

"Who is this new face?" One of the team mate asked Riku.

"I am Riku-nyan's girlfriend! Oshima Yuko desuuuu! I'm a transfer student and will attend school next week! Yoroshiku~"
Yuko said cheerfully.

"Riku-nyan?" The team members said and tried to hold their laughter upon hearing Riku's nickname.

Seeing how 'lovey dovey' Riku and Yuko is, his team mates decided not to join Riku for lunch. They started to leave one by one.

"..." Kuu looked at Riku with a sympathetic face.

"Don't give me that look Kuu! Help me out!!!" Riku cried out.

"Hahaha...Don't worry...We will still eat lunch with you...But..." Kai said with a smile.

"KAI! You really are the best!" Riku said with gratefulness in this eyes.

"Separate table of course..." Kuu said and high-five with Kai.

"......" Riku is speechless.

"Somewhere near would be great...We shouldn't let Kai walk too much..." Sae said.

"Gomen...I got something on...so I won't be joining today..." Jun said while he points at Rena who is standing at the entrance,
waiting for him.

"So it really is confession just now? Are you 2 going out? Are you?" Yuko asked excitedly.

"Please control you 'girlfriend'...Minna ja ne..." Jun said with a laugh and left with Rena.

"Why not my place? Since its near to Kai's place...We can grab something from the convenient store... " Sae said.

"No objection." Kuu and Riku said.

"Thanks..." Kai said.

"As for Oshima san, sorry but I can't invite you in..." Sae said.

"WHY!" Yuko retorted.

"Because I promised my Otou san that I will not bring girlfriends into my apartment...Gomen...Family rules..." Sae said while
acting apologetic.

"Sou?" Yuko asked as she looked at the others and they nodded their head.

"Your team mates just left...If you leave now you might catch up to them...Why not you go spend some time with them today..."
Kai said.

"Ok then...Byeeee!" Yuko said and kissed Riku's cheek before she ran off.

"Oshima san is just like weather. You can never predict what she would do...Good luck to you Riku, hope you find a good weather
forecast station..." Kuu said calmly.

"......" Everyone looked at Riku and nodded.

"Please gimme a break..." Riku cried out.

They then make their way to Sae's apartment and ate their lunch there. Enjoying the peace, without any interruption.

Chapter 14

AT AKIHABARA PARK

As most of the cafes are full and noisy. Rena suggest to come at the park and they ordered takeaways from one of the cafe.
There, they found a nice corner and sat on the bench.


"Is this the place where you confess to Sae?" Jun asked as he took out a sandwich.

Rena was surprised that Jun actually know about it.

"Miyazawa kun told you everything?" Rena asked.

"Yupp...We never hide anything from each other...Except...For this time..." Jun said.

"Gomen..." Rena said as she looks at her bento.

"Senpai...If that is all you are going to say to me...I will leave..." Jun said as he look at Rena.

"Gon..No I mean...Arigato..." Rena said and looked at look.

"Thats the way! But what is there to thank me?" Jun said with a smile.

"For willing to talk to me despite all the horrible things I did..." Rena said.

"Horrible things? What kind?" Jun asked as he munch his sandwich.

"Wanting to get Miyazawa kun to notice me more...My actions leads you to misunderstand...I am horrible..." Rena said
with her watery eyes.

Jun starts to think through what Rena said.

"When you gave me a drink when I need it...Were you thinking about scoring points from Sae?" Jun asked seriously.

"No...I didn't! I really thought you need it, that is why I gave you the drink..." Rena explained.

"When I was feeling down at the water basin area...You encouraged me...Were you expecting me to let Sae know about it so he will
think of you differently?" Jun asked again.

"NO! I didn't think of any of these things...I was just trying to help...I wasn't thinking of anything else..." Rena said and started to cry.

"Arigato, Senpai..." Jun said.

Hearing that, Rena is surprised. She looked at Jun while wiping her tears.

"Thanks for letting me know I am not being a stepping stone...Those things you do and said to me is real...Senpai is sincere in caring for me..."
Jun said with a smile, he is trying hard to hold his tears.

"Jun kun...I..." Rena said.

"I think I should clarify something first. The coin purse I got you is chosen by me, not by Sae although he accompanied me to choose the present.
Knowing your love for melon pan is not because Sae told me, I know it by observing Senpai having that for breakfast almost every day." Jun said.

"Arigato...I really like the coin purse..." Rena said.

"Senpai...I think I would prefer that you address me back as before..." Jun said.

"But..." Rena said.

"If you continue to call me by my name...I might not be able to take it..." Jun said as he feel his heart in pain, as if he is being stabbed.

Seeing his painful expression, Rena agreed by nodding.

"Now as I think of it, the way I reacted when I see Senpai back then...I was just like a child who is excited to see their favorite idol...
Don't you agreed?" Jun said as he tried to lighten the mood.

"Yeah...You were really panicking..." Rena said with a smile as she starts to recall the images of Jun's reactions.

"So I think...Maybe I don't actually like you as much as I think I am...See! I have no problem talking to Senpai now..." Jun said as he put
his sandwich aside. He stood up and stands in front of Rena.

"Ju..Matsui...kun..." Rena said.

"That is all I have to say! Well! I feel so much better! Arigato Senpai...For listening to me..." Jun said cheerfully.

"No...Arigato...For sharing with me..." Rena said and she stood up, bowing to Jun as thanks.

"Senpai...As I am now, I might not be able to support...your love...But I just want to tell you...You really made the right choice! You deserve better,
someone like Sae...Sae is really one of the greatest guy I know." Jun said as he smiles.

"Di...Di di di..."

"No...I..." Rena said but was interrupted.

"Di...Di di di..."

"Di...Di di di..."

"Excuse me...Gimme a second..." Jun said and took out his cellphone to read the message.

Jun was annoyed by the multiple messages and wanted to switch off his phone. Before he could do that, he saw the title of the messages.
It's messages requesting Jun's help.

Jun then looked at Rena who is looking at him with a pain look, he feels that his heart is going to burst soon with the overflowing feelings.
If Rena continue to look at him this way, he might not bring himself to give up on her. Seeing the urgent matter he needs to attend to as a
opportunity before he starts harboring hope towards Rena, he decided to leave now.


"Gomen Senpai! I got something on. Thanks for the lunch! Please take care on your way back...Ja ne!" Jun said.

After saying goodbye to Rena, Jun quickly ran out the park. Crying.

"Don't look back! Jun! Don't look back!" Jun said to himself as tears fall.

Jun ran as fast as he could, slowly fading away from Rena's vision.

"Gomen...Arigato...Jun kun..." Rena said softly.

At Sae's apartment

"Everything ok back home?" Kai asked as he chew his katsudon.

"Yeah...There's nobody at home so I am ok..." Kuu said.

"......" Riku just eat his bento as he listens.

"Oh right...Your parents are overseas and Kukai-nii is seldom at home..." Sae said.

"Yah...He have too many girlfriends...365 days is not enough for him..." Kai said.

"......" Kuu munch on his bread, not wanting to make any comment to that.

"Riku...Why are you not saying anything? Did something happened when you are back home? Your parents know about Yuko?"
Kai asked anxiously.

"Nothing...They didn't say anything to me...That is what makes it so scary...I hope they are not scheming something...I don't want
Yuko to be harmed because of me..." Riku said.

They looked at each other. Did they just hear Riku called her 'Yuko'? Normally Riku would address her as 'Oshima san'. They felt that
something is changing in Riku.


"I think you have to worry about how to deal with Oshima san first before you try to figure whether they are scheming something..."
Kuu said.

"OH MY GOD! I don't understand! Why can't she understand? She is like the real UFO! I don't know when she will come flying to me!
Minna! Please help me!!" Riku cried out.

"This is really tricky...Maybe Acchan is able to help..." Sae said.

"Yah...I think we need to do more research on this issue...I think Acchan can give us more information..." Kuu said.

"You should go ask Atsuko...Since they are both girls...Complicated girls..." Kai said.

"Really? I should get Acchan's help?" Riku asked.

"This is also tricky...They might become best friends..." Sae said.

"Yah...I think they might use Riku as their research and share information with each other..." Kuu said.

"Since they are complicated...Things might be more complicated than before..." Kai said.

"YOU GUYS ARE NOT HELPING AT ALL!!!" Riku retorted.

"Worst case...Let's just see what your parents will do...Then we will see what we can do..." Kai said.

"Meanwhile...Just try to talk to Oshima san and try to get her to understand as hard as you can..." Sae said.

"Agree..." Kuu said.

"......" Riku nodded.

After their lunch, they all went home. Sae accompany Kai home as he still have problems walking.

At Kai's house

-Door opening-

"LikeI say...We should consider increasing our practice time to prepare for inter high." Kai said to Sae.

"Erm...We'll talk about that later..." Sae said as he points to the living room.

Tomonobu and Minami is sitting at the living waiting for Kai.

"Tadaima...Tou san...Oka san..." Kai said.

"Ojama shimasu..." Sae said.

"Okaerinasai...Kai and Sae, welcome...It's good to see you..." Tomonobu said.

The atmosphere in Kai's house is really gloomy. Feeling that Kai's parents had something to talk to Kai, Sae think he should
 head back to his apartment.


"I'll make a move first...Update me later..." Sae whispered to Kai.

"Ok..." Kai whispered back.

"Sorry for the intrusion, I will take my leave from here..." Sae said as he bow to Tomonobu and Minami.

"Miyazawa kun right? Long time no see...Sorry to ask this from you suddenly...Could you join us here? I have something to talk to you,
if you don't mind sparing me few minutes of your time." Minami said.

Sae looked at Kai, Kai nodded. Knowing his mother, she definitely wanted to ask more about what happened yesterday. So they all sat
down at the living room.


"Where were you?" Minami asked Kai.

"I was at Sae's apartment with Riku and Kuu..." Kai replied.

"From morning till now?" Minami asked.

"......I was at...practice in the morning...Then I went to Sae's apartment for lunch..." Kai said.

"Kai...Why are you not resting at home? With that injury, you still went for practice? I am disappointed with you..."
Tomonobu said angrily.

"At practice? Went to Miyazawa kun's apartment? I see... Enjoying your day without realizing you actually have a sister right?"
Minami said sarcastically.

"I did not forget about Yuki! There are important things I need to settle for the day and I was planning to visit Yuki after coming
back home for a quick wash up!" Kai explained.

"Important things? So you mean Yukirin is not important and will never be your priority?" Minami said angrily.

Seeing the heated argument, Sae wanted to help Kai but he knew he have no right to intervene their family matters. Sae could only
sit there quietly and pray hard for Kai.


"No! I don't mean it that way! Why can't you try to understand? I think even if I try to explain, you wouldn't listen...I think there is nothing
more I can say...Think what you want..." Kai retorted.

"Kai! Is this how you talk to you Oka san? Apologize to your Oka san now!" Tomonobu said angrily and grabbed Kai's arm.

Kai refused to apologized and simply sit there without saying a word. He felt that he have be wrongly accused. Given the situation now where
Yuki is involved. He knew that whatever he say, his words will never get to his mother's ears until he admit he is in the wrong. Seeing that,
Minami made up her mind.


"Miyazawa kun, I heard from my husband you are the vice captain right? Minami asked.

"Yes Auntie Minami..." Sae replied.

Sae got a really bad feeling about this, he is praying hard in his heart that it's not what he thought it might be. Kai also think and felt the same
way as Sae. He tried to prepare himself for the worse scenario where his mother will ask him to quit basketball. But he trust his father will definitely
help him out.


"Can you help us convey this message to your coach? Kai will quit basketball starting from today." Minami said calmly.

"Us? Did you just say us?" Kai asked as he look at Tomonobu. But Tomonobu was avoiding eye contact with Kai.

"Wait! Auntie Minami...Shouldn't you discuss this with Kai? Please reconsider! Onegaishumasu!" Sae said and bowed to Minami.

"Tou san...Look at me...Is it true? You agree with Oka san?" Kai asked with a disappointed look in his face. He cannot believe his father would
actually agree with his mother. He wanted to confirm it no matter what.

"You should have apologize for your wrong doings Kai..." Tomonobu said sadly.

"I thought you would understand me! How can you do this to me! Why didn't you give me a chance to explain before making this decision?
Don't you care about my feelings? Tou san!" Kai said agitatedly.

"Slap"

Minami slapped Kai in a fit of anger. Sae was shocked, he didn't expect things would turn out this way. Kai looked down and placed his right hand
on his right cheek.


"Oka san!" Yuki said as she slowly walk down the stairs with her weak body.

Hearing that, Minami regained back her senses and looked at her hands in shock. Tomonobu walked over to Minami and shaked her.

"Why did you slap him?" Tomonobu asked angrily.

"Kai! Are you alright?" Sae asked concernly as he look at Kai.

"Hmph..." Kai said as he smile smirkingly.

"Kai...Are you alright?" Yuki asked with tears in her eyes she walked towards Kai and tries to console him.

"Don't touch me!" Kai said as he push Yuki's approaching hands away from him.

Seeing that, Minami's anger starts to build up.

"What do you think you are doing? Have you consider Yukirin's feelings when you  do that?" Minami said and raise up her hand again.

"Going to hit me again?" Kai asked as he look at Minami, angrily with his teary eyes.

Tomonobu never hit Kai. Even when Kai did something wrong, he would try to explain to Kai what he did wrong. Since they were young,
whenever Kai did something wrong, Minami will get Tomonobu to handle Kai. Putting all her focus on Yuki. This is the first time Kai got hit
and is by his mother who is almost never present  in his life.


"Kai..." Sae said as he hold Kai. He is worried that Kai might turn violent against his mother, seeing how angry he is now.

"Oka san...No..." Yuki pleaded as she cried.

"Why did you give birth to me? Whatever I do or say is never up to your expectations...I am not a slave chained to you...I have the right to
do the things I want...I don't need your..." Kai retorted.

"Slap"

"Enough of your nonsense! As long as you are in this household, you have to listen to what I say and do what I tell you! You are our son and
Yukirin's brother! You have no right to demand anything from us! Is that clear?" Minami shouted.

"Minami! What are you saying!" Tomonobu shouted and grabbed Minami's hand.

"Oka san...Don't do this to Kai...Onegai...Please stop..." Yuki said agitatedly and felt pain in her heart. She then kneel down, trying to battle
 against the pain.

Seeing that, Minami and Tomonobu rushed to attend to her. Seeing that, kai felt really hurt.

"Looks like I am not needed here after all...If I have to br tied down by all these rules...I rather not be a Takahashi!" Kai said as he ruffle his
hair. He then ran out of his house even through his leg is hurting.

"Gomen..." Sae said and ran after Kai.

"Kai! Come back!" Tomonobu said.

"Kai...No...Kai...Please...Don't go..." Yuki said in a weak voice as she sobbed.

"Let him be! Anata! Help me get Yuki up on the sofa...We need to get her relax at a more comfortable place..." Minami said.

"O...Ok..." Tomonobu said in a trembling voice.

Tomonobu carried Yuki up and place her carefully on the sofa. Minami ran up quickly to Yuki's room to her medicine and fed her.
After a few minutes, Yuki's pain subsided. Yuki stayed in her room the rest of the day, refusing to eat or talk to anyone. Minami was
crying while Tomonobu console her, she is regretting what said and did to Kai.


"What is going on with me? What I have I done again...I shouldn't have come back...I am messing everything...I am such a horrible mother...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Minami said, sobbing.

"Kai is a intelligent boy...He will definitely understand...That who he is...Our Takahashi boy never hold grudges...He definitely will be ok..."
Tomonobu said as he hug Minami.

Even though Tomonobu said that, he is actually just trying to console Minami. This is the first time Tomonobu hear Kai saying hurtful words
towards them as Kai always run away to cool himself off whenever he is sad or angry. This time, they have hurt Kai very badly that he is not
able to control himself and rebuke them with hurtful words.


"Please forgive us Kai...Please come back...Gomenasai...Honto ni...Gomenasai..." Tomonobu said in his mind as tears starts to roll down.

Oh man... That's world war...

What's going to happen with Kai?

Would Kai choose to move out?

What about Yuki?

Also Yuko... would Atsuko help get Yuko to back off?

Would Riku's parents do something to Yuko?

Poor Jun... Would he be able to move on?

What about Rena?

I can understand her reason as to why she fell for Sae

Since he was always there when she was feeling low

Does Sae really like Yuki more than siblings love?

What's going to happen next?

Can't wait to find out

Thank you for the updates

Haha...I feel refreshed after a good rest and all ready to write more! Hope all the readers too! :cathappy:
As the story progressed, I realized I will feel my heart in pain just as what the characters felt...
Hope I am not getting weird! :panic: Do you feel the same as me?  :yossi:

@kuro_black29: Sorry about it but there will not be MaYuki here :bow:

@cisda83: Haha...That's a lot of questions you have there...Let me think where to start...
               After thinking about it (About a few seconds :cathappy:)...I think an update is better than having me answering it :thumbup
               Here's Chapter 15!

Chapter 15

ALONG AKIHABARA STREET

Acchan was singing happily her new composed song on her way back from somewhere.

"Kokoro no katasumi
Flower
Chiisana hana ga saita
Ano hi no negai wa
Yukkuri to
Hinata no naka saita..."

In the corner of my heart
Flower
A little flower bloomed
My wish from that day
Slowly
Bloomed in the sun

(Lyrics taken from http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html (http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html))

"KAI!! STOP RUNNING! DAMN!! STOP!!!" Sae shouted.

"OUCH!!!" Acchan said as she fell down, hitting her bum.

"ARGH!!!" Kai said as he bummed into Acchan and fell down. He then use his hands to hold his bleeding right leg.

"Kai?" Acchan said as she looked at the culprit who knocked into her while she rubs her painful bum.

Sae finally managed to catch up with Kai with Acchan's 'help'.

"(pant)...KAI YOU THIS IDIOT! (pant)..." Sae said as he tried to catch his breath while he points at Kai's leg.

"DAMMIT!" Kai said and starts to hit his injured leg.

"NO...What are you doing Kai! No...Don't...Stop it..." Acchan said as she tried to stop him.

However, Kai is too strong for Acchan. Unable to stop Kai's hand from hitting himself, Acchan hugged him. Hoping that will stop him
from hurting himself any further. Kai finally stopped hitting himself but he started to cried out loudly. Feeling the grieve in his cries,
Acchan and Sae also cried.


At Sae's apartment

Sae bought Kai back to his apartment with Jun's help. They helped him to wash his wound and replace the bandage.

-Flashback-

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

Jun was interrupted by the multiple messages and stopped his chat with Rena. Scrolling through the messages, he was shocked.
These messages are from Sae, asking Jun's help as Kai's wound starts to bleed again after he ran out from his house.


-Message 1-

Title: Emergency!!
Kai's leg starts to bleed again! Should I sent him to the hospital?


-Message 2-
Title: Untitled
He refuse to go...Is there anything I can do to stop the bleeding?


-Message 3-
Title: Untitled
HELP! KAI FAINTED! What should I do? Should I call an ambulance now or wait for him to wake up?


After reading the messages, Jun said goodbye to Rena and quickly ran out of the park.

"Dooo...Doooo"

"JUN! Help! Tell me what I need to do!" Sae said over the phone.

"BAKA!" Jun shouted while he is crying.

"Gomen! Are...you ok? Are you crying?" Sae asked.

"Don't send me messages when it's about such an important matter! BAKA! Where are you guys now!" Jun retorted.

"I thought you were with Senpai so I dare not call you..We are at Akihabara street, somewhere near Kai's house... " Sae said.

"Stay right there...I will be there in a minute!" Jun said.

"Ok! Anything else I need to know?" Sae asked

"I AM NOT CRYING!" Jun shouted and ended the phone call.

-End of flashback-

"Luckily the stitches are still in place. However, if he starts to develop fever...We must bring him to the hospital as his wound might be infected...
So for now, let him have a good rest..." Jun said as he wipe his hands dry.

Sae nodded while Acchan stare at Jun's intensely.

"What?" Jun said.

"I'm trying to imagine you wearing a white coat with a doctors' scope hanging over your neck..." Acchan said seriously.

"Arigato...Dr Matsui..." Sae said.

"What! Stop that...Anyway...What's with Kai?" Jun asked as he sat down on the sofa to relax himself.

"Auntie Minami...Right?" Acchan said as she knew it have to do with Kai's mother. Since they bump into each other near their homes.

"..." Sae nodded.

Sae then explained to them what happened at the Takahashi household. Upon hearing it, Acchan started to cry while Jun clench his
fist in anger.


"Why doesn't Auntie Minami understands? When will she stop hurting Kai..." Acchan said, sobbing.

"I can't let Kai take all the blame! I have to tell them the truth!" Jun said agitatedly and stood up.

"Quiet down! Kai is sleeping..." Sae said softly.

They turned to look at Kai, trying to make sure he is still sleeping.

"I know how you feel Jun...But we should not be too hasty in this...We might make things worse...I believe Kai do this to protect all of
us and have already considered all the factors...We know it don't we?" Sae said.

"I know but...I just can't leave it as it is now...I hurt Kai...I am causing harm to him..." Jun said as he reprimand himself.

"Jun...Don't you trust Kai? Don't you understand the reason why he lie even if it might hurt him badly?" Acchan asked.

"I know...I fully understands...He wanted to protect us...Protect our promise...Protect the basketball team..." Jun said and started to teared.

"If Auntie Minami knows it's us who caused these...She definitely would make a big scene, our basketball club reputation might be at stake...
As all the argument, fighting and injury was caused by us...Not Kai and Kuu..." Sae said sadly.

"I know...But I don't understand one thing...Yuki fainted not because of what we did...It was due to fatigue and minor cold...Kai shouldn't be
blamed for all these..." Jun said.

"Other than wanting to protect you guys...He is feeling guilty towards Yukirin..." Acchan said.

-Flashback-

At Kai's house

"Gomen...I took longer than I thought...Let's go now..." Kai said as he walked down the stairs.

"(Coughs)...."

"Yuki...Are you ok?" Kai asked.

"Yes...I'm fine...(coughs)" Yuki replied while rubbing her throat.

"No..You don't...You look rather pale..." Sae said.

"We should stay at home...Why don't you guys go ahead without us..." Kai said.

"No...I am really fine...I am just too excited about today's meet up..." Yuki insisted.

"From the looks of it...You didn't sleep well last night? I do too when I write songs as I can't get it out my head..." Acchan said.

"All the more we should stay at home today...You should go back up and rest..." Kai said.

"Please! I don't want to stay at home! There's so much I want to do today...I want to meet your friends, walk around the town
and buy my guitar...I will be fine because you guys will be with me...I promised you if I really feel unwell...I will let you guys know
straight away...Please?" Yuki pleaded.

Kai, Acchan and Sae looked at each other.

"Kai...I think it should be ok...Lets just eat quickly, walk quickly and buy quickly...Me and Sae will help you look after Yukirin!"
Acchan said as she plead for Yuki.

"......" Sae nodded in agreement.

"No...We can't do that!" Kai rebuked.

Yuki is really sad and Acchan is consoling her while Sae is thinking of how to help Yuki persuade Kai again.

"We should not eat quickly as it is bad for digestion...We should not walk quickly as Yuki is not well...We should not buy quickly as we
must choose the guitar carefully, something you will like very much...If you can fulfil that...I guess...We can go..." Kai said. Hearing that,
Yuki totally brighten up with a wide smile.

"Then let's go before Kai changes his mind again!" Acchan said and pushed Yuki towards the entrance.

"Hey...Don't be so rough..." Kai said.

The 4 of them then left the house and make their way to the cafe.

-End of flashback-

"Letting Yuki go out despite knowing her condition..." Sae said.

"To atone for his wrong judgement? I think that is a harsh way ...He shouldn't be blame for that..." Jun said agitatedly.

"No...Not just that...He wanted his parents to vent out their anger at him as he know his parents would definitely blame themselves
for not realizing Yuki's condition that day..." Acchan said sadly.

"Thats Kai...For the sake of others,  williing to be hurt..." Sae said.

"Yes...But I really did not expect Auntie Minami to say that to Kai...Her expectations towards Kai is too high and she don't know anything
about the Kai...Even Uncle is siding Auntie...I thought he would be the one who understands the most..." Acchan said as she cried.

"Is there anything we can do?" Jun asked.

"I think let's just let Kai rest now...He must be physically and mentally drained...Maybe we can talk to him tomorrow...Acchan, I think
you better go back home...Please help me inform Uncle that Kai is with me and I will bring him back tomorrow..." Sae said.

"Ok...I can do that..." Acchan said.

"I will not go back..." Kai said.

"Kai! You are awake...So...You heard everything?" Jun asked.

A crippling figure begin to walk out from Sae's bedroom.

"If you want me to go back...I will leave now..." Kai said in a serious tone.

"Kai! Do you really have to do it this way? Ok...You can stay here as long as you like...I won't force you to do anything..." Sae said.

"Kai...If you don't go back...What are you going to do about school?" Acchan asked Kai as she help him walk to the sofa to sit down.

"If I need to go back home because of school...Then I rather not attend school..." Kai said in a cold manner.

Kai is very determined, he meant what he says. Sae, Acchan and Jun is speechless. At this point, its useless to try persuading Kai
to go home.


"Why don't I go your house to get your necessary items? I will let Uncle know and...We can work things out from there..." Acchan said.

"Yeah...Inter-high is coming...We need our captain to lead us to victory no matter what...You promise to bring us up to the top no
matter what...You have to come to school..." Sae said.

"If you don't go to school...I will rather tell Uncle, Auntie and coach the truth...I rather not participate...If you are not in the team,
we have nointention to play in Inter-high too..." Jun said.

"What can I say...I am fine with any arrangements as long as you don't ask me to go back there..." Kai said.

Kai told them the items he needed as Acchan help jot it down.

"Thats alot of things we need to get..." Sae said as he look at the list.

"Yes...We need more help...Let's ask Riku and Kuu..." Jun said as he take the list to look from Sae's hand.

"No...I don't want them to know what happened..." Kai rebuked.

"Kai...You can't hide it from them...They will know sooner or later...After what happened these few days...You should understand
it more than anyhow else..." Acchan said.

"......" Kai did not say a word and continue to listen.

"With so many of us around...I think Uncle will feel more comfortable to let you stay out for a while..." Sae said.

Even though Kai is disappointed with his father. He could never ever bring himself to hate or let his father worry about him.

"Ok...But IF! If...He says he wants to see me...Tell him I am ok...There's nothing...for him to see...I am busy now..." Kai said.

"Ok...I will let him know...Leave it to me..." Acchan said.

Jun accompanied Acchan to Kai's house before walking her back home. Sae is tasked to explained what happened to Kai to Riku
and Kuu since he was there. Riku and Kuu agreed to help without any hesitation. Sae, Riku and Kuu will be going to Kai's house
tomorrow afternoon with Acchan while Jun will stay at Sae's apartment to help Kai change his bandage.


Outside Kai's house

Acchan explained to Tomonobu and Minami, Kai's intention for now.

"Tomorrow, we will come after lunch...Uncle? Are you ok?" Acchan asked as Tomonobu seems to be in a trance after she explained
Kai's plan.

This is the first time Kai actually asked to leave home. It is also the first time Kai leaving home without a notice as to when he will be back.
What Tomonobu assured Minami earlier on where Kai will definitely understand and not holding grudges towards seems like a lie. Tomonobu
felt Kai is no longer the son he knows because they have broke him with their selfishless and expectation towards him.


"Uncle...Kai is still the same old Kai..." Acchan said with a smile.

"No...We hurt him...We did not give him a chance to explain...We forced our thoughts on him...He must have hate me...He will never want
to see me again...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Tomonobu cried out.

"Gomenasai..." Minami said and ran back into the house.

Minami, unable to suppress her feelings of guilt, ran back to her room and cried loudly.

"...." Jun remained silent, he do not know what he should say at his time.

"Its true Uncle, that Kai is hurt badly this time...But trust me, he will never ever hate you...He asked me to tell you he will be ok,
don't worry about him...Give him some time..." Acchan said.

"Ok...Tell him...I'll be waiting for him...To come home any time..." Tomonobu said, feeling a bit more relieved after what Acchan said.

Jun and Acchan then left.

"Did Kai say that?" Jun asked Acchan softly.

"He sure did! We didn't even ask him if he have anything to say to Uncle and he blurted it out himself..." Acchan said.

"Oh that! You really understand Kai more than any of us..." Jun said.

"Well...We are childhood friends after all~" Acchan said while turning round and round.

"I just don't understand...Why are the 2 of you still at the stage of childhood friends? I think you and Kai is way beyond that...
Like long time husband and wife..." Jun said.

"(Giggles)...Why don't you ask him?" Acchan said.

"Come on...Disclose some details please?" Jun said and act like he is begging with his hands clapped together.

"Mind your own business with Matsui Senpai first! Bleah~" Acchan said.

Hearing that, Jun stopped walking. He started to remember about Rena. Seeing that, Acchan knew she just stepped on a landmine,
exploding Jun's saddness.


"Gomen...I said something I shouldn't say...Gomen..." Acchan said and bow to apologize to Jun.

"It's ok...Everything is over between us...I will be moving on from here..." Jun said with a forced smile.

"No..It shouldn't be this way! You love her so much! Don't give up! She definitely should know it...Maybe she just didn't realise it...
But you..." Acchan retorted and was interrupted before she can finish what she wan to say.

"2 YEARS! Acchan...She never notice me at all for 2 years...My feelings for her never reach her for these 2 years even when Sae
rejected her confession...Don't you get it? I have no other choice but to give up before I start hating myself for being such a coward
who always hide behind Sae...Relay on Sae because I don't have the confidence to get Senpai to go out with me...So this is what I get...
This is the ending I deserved..." Jun said agitatedly.

"Gomen..." Acchan said as she feels sad for Jun.

"No...It's ok...Sorry for being such a spoilt spot...Yelling all these things..." Jun said.

"No...Not at all...Arigato...For sharing with me your thoughts...." Acchan said and smiled.

They started to walk again and soon, Acchan reached her house. Jun make sure Acchan went into the house before he make his way back home.

"I will be fine...Because...I am not alone..." Jun said to himself as he walk back home, thinking about his friends who is supporting him.

Yeah... I thought if Kai just went home after all that.

I can only say Kai would be a saint or he was  masochits

It's only normal, Kai's reaction.

Very realistic.

Poor jun... For 2 years he's harbouring love for Rena

Eh.. Mariko was one of Kukai girlfriends?

Really Kukai have lots of girlfriends

Why didn't Kuu say anything to Mariko?

I think he has feeling for Mariko

And Mariko seems very kind and care for Kuu

What's going to happen there?

I guess sae is going to be paired with Yuki in this story.

What would Yuki do about Kai's moving out?

Would she feel guilty and blame herself?

Would her condition worsen?

Would Kai avoid Yuki too?

Would sae be there to help Yuki as he helped Rena?

Could be Yuki and jun though?

In term of condition, Yuki's illness and Jun's medical knowledge

Very perfect fit... And Minami would be happy to marry off Yuki to Jun

What's going to happen next?

Can't wait to read it

Thank you for the update

Chapter 16

THE NEXT DAY

At Kai's house

Sae, Riku, Kuu and Acchan came to Kai's house as planned and started to pack the items accordingly based on the list Acchan wrote.
Yuki is standing outside Kai's room, looking at the busy bees and she felt really sad.


"Yukirin...Are you ok?" Acchan asked Yuki as she see Yuki looking really sad.

"Kai...He really won't be coming back anymore?" Yuki asked as tears started to well up.

"Of course not...He will definitely be back...Trust him, give him some space and time to think...Ok?" Acchan said and Yuki nodded.

"Is there...Is there anything I can help? I want to...at least be useful to him..." Yuki asked.

"Why don't you help Acchan by double checking if the items he requested is correct and what did we missed out..." Sae said.

"Ok...I can do that..." Yuki said and walked into Kai's room. Helping Acchan verify the items.

"Where's Uncle and Auntie?" Riku asked.

"Oka san went to the hospital this morning...Otou san...He is inside his room..." Yuki said.

"Oh...Ok...Is there anything we miss out?" Kuu asked.

"No...Everything listed is cleared..." Acchan replied.

"Shall we?" Sae said and lifted up the heavy bag, filled with Kai's personal items.

"Wait...Can I come along too? I wan to...see...Kai...and talk to him..." Yuki said.

The guys looked at Acchan since Acchan knows what Kai thinks the best.

"Gomen Yukirin...Today is not good...You see...We have so many things need to unpack and Sae's apartment is a bit small...
So it might be messy...School's starting next week anyway...You will be able to see Kai... in 3 days time!" Acchan said.

"Good job..." Kuu said in his mind as he show his thumbs up to Acchan behind Yuki's back.

"Ok...Can I call him?" Yuki asked Acchan.

"Well...I think that should be fine...I will let him know that you cares..." Acchan said, smiling.

"Arigato...Acchan...Please help me take care of Kai..." Yuki said and bowed to Acchan.

"Hey...We are friends! Even if you never ask me, I will still take care of him...Please don't do that again.." Acchan said
as she help Yuki back up.

"We will be there too...So don't worry and get well soon..." Sae said.

They left the house with 3 big bags. Yuki see them off at their house gate and went back into the house after their walking figures faded
from her sight. All these while, Tomonobu just stayed in his room as he can't bear to see them taking the things away which will make Kai's
room look empty.


"Kai...Otou san will be waiting...Waiting for your return...Please be well..." Tomonobu said as he looked out the window, facing the direction
of Sae's apartment.

At Sae's apartment downstairs

"AHHHH!"

Someone bumped into Riku as he was about to go inside the lobby of Sae's apartment.

"OUCH! Watch where you are going!" Riku shouted out in pain.

"I found you! Riku-nyan!!" Yuko said excitedly and kissed his cheek.

"What! What are you doing here?" Riku said. He is totally shocked by Yuko's sudden appearance.

"Wow...You really are amazing Oshima san...Able to find us here." Kuu said.

"Don't be amazed! Its freaking scary! How do you know I am here? Did you hire someone to check on me? " Riku asked in a loud voice.

"I was exploring the streets around here and then I saw you guys~ This must be fate...Riku-nyan~" Yuko said and hugged Riku tightly.

"Ic...Sorry but we have to go now...Enjoy exploring around here then...See you in school next week...Bye." Sae said and walked into the lobby.
The others followed Sae.

"WAITTT!!" Yuko said and quickly ran into the lobby to stop Sae.

"Why is Maeda san here? Didn't you say that your 'Family rules' does not allow girlfriends?" Yuko asked seriously.

"Well...She is not under that category...Acchan is my childhood best friend...Please excuse us...We really are busy today..." Sae explained and
tried to escape from Yuko again.

"WAITTT!!" Yuko said and stopped them again.

"About your 'Family rules' that does not allow girlfriends...You mean your girlfriend or your friend's girlfriend?" Yuko asked again.

"Wow...She is really smart...Lucky you..." Kuu whispered to Riku and Riku kicked his leg upon hearing it.

"Ouch..." Kuu said softly to avoid attention.

"Erm...Both...We really really need to go now...Bye again..." Sae said and quickly press the button for the lift.

"Can you call your father? I want to ask him which is it...I have to be sure about this..." Yuko asked Sae seriously.

At Sae's apartment

"Taidaima..." Sae said.

"Okaeri...What is Oshima san doing here?" Jun asked as he see Yuko walking into Sae's apartment, locking arms with Riku.

"Its fate..." Acchan said and went in to look for Kai.

The guys helped Kai unpack his belongings while Acchan prepare some food with Yuko's help at the kitchen.

"Oshima san...You are really good at cooking don't you?" Acchan said as she look at Yuko frying the pork cutlets.

"I always try to make my own meals...Anyway...just call me Yuko...Can I call you Acchan like them?" Yuko asked.

"Of course, Yuko..." Acchan said as she smiles.

"See...They became friends..." Sae whispered to Riku as he points at the 2 girls.

"How long have you known Riku-nyan?" Yuko asked.

"Since middle school...About 5 years I think..." Acchan replied as she fry the egg."

"Hear that...They are exchanging information now..." Kuu whispered to Riku and Riku kicked him again. Luckily, this time Kuu
was fast to react and avoid getting himself kicked.

"Why do you still like Riku? Even when he told you he has a fiancee?" Acchan asked as she put the egg on a plate.

"Riku told you that too? Don't tell me you are that fiancee?" Yuko asked and look at Acchan sternly.

"No...I'm not..." Acchan replied calmly.

"I KNEW IT! Well...I just like him...I don't care if he has one or many fiancee...I will never give up!" Yuko said confidently.

"It really is complicated...Just what are they thinking..." Kai said.

"I did not hear anything...I did not hear anything..." Riku said. Thinking in a self denial state.

"Whats the matter?" Acchan asked as she brings out the food with Yuko to the living.

"Nothing...Whats there to eat?" Kai asked and looked at the dishes as Acchan place them on the table.

On the table, there are onigiri, french fries and egg salad. Seeing these, Kai is disappointed.

"Thats all?" Kai asked.

"Here's yours! Tata~ Acchan and Yuko's special katsudon!" Yuko said and gave it to Kai while Acchan went back to the kitchen
 to prepare tea.

"Wow..." Kai said with his eyes beaming with joy.

"Arigato! Itadakimasu!" Kai said and starts to dig himself to the food.

"Why is it special?" Riku asked.

"Because we cooked it~ Riku-nyan...Ahhhhh..." Yuko said and take a onigiri up from the plate and tried to feed Riku.

"Stop it! STOP IT! YUKO STOP IT!!" Riku blurted out Yuko's name without realizing it.

"......" Yuko stopped attempting to feed Riku.

"Oshima san...Oiii...Moshi...Moshiii..." Kuu called out but she did not respond.

Yuko was just sitting without a word. The others wondered what happened to her suddenly. Tear drops were seen dripping down
from Yuko.

"Are you ok? Are you...hurt any where? Riku asked concernly.

"Wahh...Ri...(sniff) ku...nyan...(sniff)..." Yuki said as she lifted up her sobbing face.

"Why are you crying suddenly? Please don't cry...Tell me what's wrong...Is it about the onigiri? See...I am eating it now..." Riku said as
he get flustered. He then hold Yuko's hand and eat the onigiri from Yuko's hand.

"Wow..." Kuu said as he observe them.

The others are watching Riku and Yuko intensely while they eat as if they are watching a drama. They are all excited to see what is going to
happen to the lead 'actor' and 'actress'.


"Yuko...What's wrong?" Acchan asked as she put the tray full of cups on the table.

"(sniff)...Yuko...Riku-nyan called me Yuko!! Now he eats the onigiri I feed him!!" Yuko said.

"......" Riku was shocked. He just realized he have called her name unintentionally.

"Isn't that great, Yuko?" Acchan said with a smile.

"Hai! I will work even harder!" Yuko declared and cling on Riku.

"Good luck to you Riku...I think they just became best friends..." Sae said.

"I think they will work together for the 'research'...May you be useful the mankind...Good luck..." Kuu said.

"It wasn't that complicated before...Now you made it complicated..." Kai said.

"Don't leave me to die!" Riku cried out.

"What are you guys talking about?" Acchan asked.

"Riku-nyan! Why will you die? Are you hunger? Riku-nyan here! Eat more!" Yuko said and offer more onigiri to Riku.

They finished all the food together with laughter. Then Acchan and Kai head to the kitchen to wash the dishes while the guys continue
to help unpack Kai's belongings with Yuko's help.

"Oshima san...Aren't you going to ask us what are we doing?" Jun asked.

"This? Isn't it obvious you guys are unpacking things?" Yuko replied.

"You are not going to ask what happened?" Riku asked out of curiousity.

Yuko stopped and starts to think how she should answer them.

"I believe  there must be a good reason for doing this. I learnt from you, Riku-nyan. I will not force you to tell me, I will wait for
the answer patiently whenever you are ready." Yuko said and smiled, revealing her cute dimples.

The guys were really amazed, they are now seeing Yuko in a new light. Riku is touched by Yuko's words. Just like Kai, his parents
are always forcing their thoughts on him. So he never thought of telling them anything when something happened. He would always
discuss his problems with his best friends and is always thankful to have them in his life. Althrough they always make fun of him, but
they will never force him to do anything he dislikes and is always there to help him even if they say they will not.


"Oshima san, I think that should be enough...It will be TOO LATE if you continue...Don't you have to go back home for dinner?"
Sae asked. Riku is pulled back to reality by Sae's words.

"Oh...It's already this late...I am meeting my parents at the ramen shop near our school...Gomen! I need to make a move now..." Yuko said.

Hearing that, Acchan and Kai walked out of the kitchen.

"Arigato Oshima san...For helping me unpack and the food is really tasty." Kai said.

"Not at all! I am glad I am able to help out in any way that I can! And, if you all don't mind, call me Yuko...It's weird to be addressed as
Oshima san all the time by you guys...I prefer to be called Yuko instead...Take care Takahashi kun, hope your leg get well soon..." Yuko said.

"Alright then...Take care on your way to meet your parents then, Yuko..." Kuu said.

"Ja ne~!" Yuko said and walked out of the apartment.

When Sae is about to close the door, Yuko turned back and stopped the door from closing.

"Wait! I can still come here right?" Yuko ask Sae seriously.

"Erm..." Sae said as he look at Riku.

"I don't care...This is not my place to start with..." Riku said.

"You heard him..." Sae said as he points to Riku.

"YATTA!!" Yuko said and ran into the lift.

"She is finally gone..." Kuu said.

"What are your plan's now?" Kai asked.

"I...don't know...anymore...What should I do?" Riku asked.

"I think she is a really nice girl...She deserves a chance and you deserves the right to choose..." Acchan said.

They all looked at Acchan. She must be serious when she says that since she know Riku's situation like they do. What Acchan said
starts to spark a small fire in Riku's heart, a miracle he is wishing for.


"Are you willing to take the risk? If you are, we will fight with you..." Jun said.

"I think Yuko is really someone who is worthy of deserving the right to have you... Someone who is pushed to you without trying to get
to know you and waiting to be married to you, don't have the right to complain if someone else takes you away..Yuko does not give up
and is always fighting to gain your affection even when you keep pushing her away...I believe she is someone who you have always wanted...
Someone who is able and willing to stay with you no matter what..." Kai said seriously.

He observed Riku's reaction and attitude towards Yuko has change drastically over these few days even when they just met few days ago.
Riku starts to think deeply while listening to his friends.


"Whatever you choose, we will be supporting you. "

"She really is mysterious, the way she is able to stir your feelings...Riku, you never fails to keep a safe distance from others girl whenever they
 try to go beyond friends...This time, you failed badly not because you wasn't firm enough...Like I said, Yuko is really like the weather. She can
make you storming with anger, shock you with her actions like thunder, soak you with saddness like rain, freezes you when she suddenly call out
to you like snowing...But in the end, she always light up your mood like the sun..." Kuu said.

Riku starts to recall back from the day he met Yuko. She never fails to bring surprises to him, making him flustered and yet he can't bring
himself to hate her. He actually finds her very cute and funny whenever she is so active towards him. Her smiles and her dimples, really melts
his heart whenever he sees them.


"I...really should give it a try?" Riku asked.

"I think you already made up your mind...Wasn't it?" Kai said.

"We will support you...You can count on us..." Jun said, assuring Riku.

Seeing his friends being so supportive, Riku finally found the courage to face himself and Yuko. He is now determined to fight for his rights,
just like what Kai did. Putting his past aside, Riku decided not to give in and run away from what he loves this time.


"Yuko...Be prepared..." Riku said in his mind as he plots something 'evil' to 'get back' at Yuko.

Well at least, Kai parents respect his wish for some spaces

But what about Riku's parents for wanting to find another girl?

He wanted to choose his wife not the fiancée!

What will Riku do to Yuko?

What's going to happen next?

Thank you for the update

Chapter 17

At Sae's apartment

Night fall before they noticed. They finally finished helping Kai unpack and arrange his stuff.

"Arigato minna..." Kai said while the guys lay their tired bodies on the floor.

"Thanks for the hard work..." Acchan said while she pass them a glass of ice cold tea.

"Arigato Acchan..." Kuu said as he sit up to get the glass from Acchan.

"I am too tired to go out for dinner...Shall we order pizza for dinner?" Sae asked.

"Sansei!" They all said in agreement. Then Sae took their orders and make the call for delivery.

"You 2 sure looks like a newly weds. And we are like helping you to move into your love nest..." Kuu said and slip his glass of tea.

"Atsuko you hear that? Aren't you happy?" Kai asked.

"Yes Anata...With their help and blessings, we definitely will be happy living here on now on..." Acchan replied and acted as she is
tearing from the happiness, with her hands 'wiping' the 'tears' from her eyes.

"Don't go declaring other people's apartment as your own...Stop your flirting..." Sae said when he heard their 'Couple talk' and threw
a cushion at Kai. But he missed as Kai dodged his attack.

"Actually...Why aren't you 2 an item?" Jun asked.

"Ask her~" Kai said, passing the baton to Acchan.

"Hey! I told Jun to ask you already!" Acchan retorted.

"Hahaha...Why not the both of you tell us? I am eager to know about how you think of each other..." Riku said.

Kai and Acchan looked at each other, blushing heavily. Sae, Riku, Jun and Kuu looked at them and was really looking forward to
what they will be saying next.


"Ringggg"

"WHO DID NOT SILENT THE PHONE! Just when the best part is about to start!" Riku said agitatedly.

"Opps...Gomen...It's mine..." Kai said and took out his phone and look at who the caller is.

"WHO? Just don't answer it! Switch it off first!" Riku demanded.

"It's Yuki...You guys go ahead...Please excuse me..." Kai said and went outside Sae's apartment to answer the call.

"Yuki? Did you?" Sae asked Acchan. He is surprised that Kai is willing to talk to Yuki.

-Flashback-

At Sae's apartment kitchen

"You really don't need my help?" Kai asked.

"Just sit here and chat with me, I can handle these dishes myself...And kai..." Acchan replied as she clean the dishes.

"What is it? You got something to say to me?" Kai asked.

"Yes...Actually, we weren't the only ones who helped you packed...Yukirin was helping too...Crying while she helps..." Acchan said.

"......" Kai did not say anything, he was waiting for Acchan to finish what she wants to say while he thinks.

"Every item she picked up, she would say...Gomenasai..." Acchan said and looked at Kai, checking Kai's reaction to know when to
stop before she agitates him.

"Mmm..." Kai said, signaling Acchan to continue.

"She actually wanted to come with us today...But I told her not to...And..." Acchan said.

"And?" Kai asked.

"She asked if she could at least call you and talk to you...Onegai Kai, please listen to Yukirin...I know you cared alot about Yukirin
even if you act like you don't...She truely cares about you deeply ...Please let her know that you care and stop letting her guess...
Even through you 2 are twins, words said is still easier to understand than to rely on feelings..." Acchan said and paused, wondering
if she should continue.

"So you told her it's ok to call?" Kai asked. Acchan looked at him and nodded.

"Gomen...I know shouldn't say that but...I really hope you can at least hear her out, even if it's just a little...I really don't know
what to say to her...She was really sad and...and..." Acchan said and starts to sob.

"Later?" Kai asked.

"What?" Acchan asked back.

"Is she going to call me later? I am tired, I will be sleeping early...If she calls me during my sleeping time...I will not answer her call..."
Kai said and helped Acchan wipe the plates dry.

"Oh...I think it will be soon! Maybe after we finished cleaning up..." Acchan said happily.

-End of flashback-

Outside Sae's apartment

Kai picked up Yuki's call without saying anything.

"Kai...Is that Kai?" Yuki asked with a weak voice.

"Have you been crying?" Kai asked, showing his concern towards Yuki upon hearing the condition of her voice.

"..." Yuki did not reply his question and starts to sob.

"What are you crying for? You should rest more and not make yourself more tired by crying...Don't make me...I mean US...
worry about you" Kai said.

"Yokatta..." Yuki said after she is able to calm herself down.

"What are you talking about? What's good?" Kai said, he is getting irritated as he does not know what happened to Yuki. 

"I thought you would never ever want to talk to me again...I caused you troubles again, because of my selfishness..."
Yuki said and cried again.

Remembering what Acchan told him, Kai decided to say whatever he has been wanting to say to Yuki.

"Yuki, I will only say it once and I want you to remember it..." Kai said.

"Ok..." Yuki said and stopped crying.

"As your brother, I wasn't able to do anything for you all these years when you were enduring all the pain while I enjoy...
having the luxury to have this healthy body...You could have hate me or blame me for being healthy... But you did not...so...
I could never bring myself to hate you and I will never ever leave you alone...Is that clear?" Kai said.

"Kai...Arigato...Arigato Oni...chan..." Yuki said and cried again.

"Please stop crying...You must take care of yourself when I am not around...And..." Kai said.

"And?" Yuki asked and wipe her tears with a tissue.

"Tell Tou san I will fulfil my duties, I will bring you to and back from school with Atsuko's help...See you next week then...Ja..."
Kai said and ended the call. He is feeling embarrassed and after he sorted out his thoughts, he walked back into the apartment.

At Sae's apartment

The others asked Kai what he talked to Yuki and he told them its about the arrangements of commuting to school for now on.
Minusing the heart felt thoughts he said to Yuki. Acchan and Sae knew everything is cleared up between the 2 siblings from the
relaxed look on Kai's face. They were really happy for Kai and Yuki. They continued to chat while they eat the pizza.


"Jun...Thanks for helping me out and walk Acchan home... " Kai said as he puts down his pizza.

"It's really nothing to be thank for...I have a great chat with Acchan too..." Jun said with a smile.

"Hey! What's that...Don't you steal Acchan from Kai..." Riku teased.

"Hahaha...Maybe I should consider Jun?" Acchan said in a cheeky manner.

"I think Jun wouldn't consider you at all since he have..." Kai said but was stopped by Sae before he can finish his sentence.
Kai then realized he almost mention a name he shouldn't mention.

"Gomen..." Kai said.

"It's ok...Its already over and we are just Senpai and Kouhai now...We have the relationship sorted out yesterday..." Jun said.

"Mmmm...Ok..." Sae said.

"But Sae, I am really curious...Why you don't like Senpai? Is it really like what Senpai said...That you like...Yuki?" Jun asked.

All of them looked at Sae and was waiting for him to answer.

"Hey...Why is the topic shifting to me? Kai and Acchan has yet to tell us about their love story..." Sae rebuked. Trying to use
Kai and Acchan as a way out.

All of them looked at the flustered Sae and they are hungry for more. While they continue to interrogate Sae, Kai starts to wonder.

"Did what happened 10 years back caused Sae to be in this way?" Kai wondered.

"What's wrong?" Acchan asked.

"Nothing...I was just thinking about some stuff...Did I miss out somthing?" Kai asked Acchan as he saw the other guys staying far away
from Sae.

"Oh that? Sae just confessed he likes guys..." Acchan replied calmly.

"HAHAHAHA........ Are you serious? Kai laughed. Looking at how serious they all look, he asked Acchan again.

Acchan nodded and Kai dropped his jaws upon seeing her reply to his question.

"BWAHAHAHAHA!"

"Whats...Whats going on here?" Kai asked.

"We were just kidding! What were you thinking about when all of us are talking here?" Sae asked.

"You of course! 10 years ago till now..." Kai blurted out without thinking.

All of them now stays away from Kai and starts to gossip about him.

"Poor Acchan..." Jun said.

"I was cheated all along...For 10 years..." Acchan said as she act to sob.

"Gomen...I cannot return the feelings you have for me..." Sae said.

"Wow...so...Wow..." Kuu said.

"Kai...Be brave to love..." Riku said.

"STOP IT! I don't mean it that way! I was talking about what happened between Sae and Yuki 10 years back! Come back here
everyone!" Kai retorted.

"Hey!" Sae shouted angrily.

Everyone stopped their jokes and looked at Sae. They were surprised with his reaction when Kai mentioned him and Yuki 10 years ago.

"Sae?" Acchan said.

"Gomen minna...I am really tired and its getting late...Why not you guys go back home today..." Sae said as soon as he realized he
unintentionally shouted at them.

"Yea...Right...Look at the time...Sorry for intruding so long...Ja..." Riku said.

"Please help me walk Acchan home...." Kai said to Jun.

Everyone left, leaving Sae and Kai.

"Gomen...Sae...I don't mean to..." Kai said.

"No...Its nothing...I will pack these up...Why don't you go rest first..." Sae said and starts to clean up the pizza boxes and
drinking glasses.

"Ok...Oyasumi..." Kai said. He knows Sae wants to be alone now. He then went into the bedroom to prepare his bed.

"What are you making me remember now..." Sae said as he sat down near the basin, leaning against the kitchen drawers.

At Kai's house

-Yuki's room-

Yuki is practicing playing guitar and singing. She is looking forward to the club activities with Acchan.

"Knock knock"

"Come in please..." Yuki said and put her guitar down.

"Yukirin...You should stop practicing and rest...Its late..." Minami said as she enters the room with Yuki's medication and
a glass of water.

"Gomenasai Oka san...I forgot about the time..." Yuki said as she looked at the clock hanged on the wall.

Yuki quickly took her medications from her mother and swallowed them one by one.

"Gomen ne...I must have made you really sad and angry yesterday..." Minami said as she caress Yuki's cheeks.

"No Oka san...Its Kai...Not me..." Yuki said.

"I must be a horrible Oka san to him...He must have really hates me and Otou san..." Minami said while trying to hold
her tears from coming out.

"No Oka san...Kai didn't say anything about hating you or Otou san at all...Even during the heated argument yesterday or on
phone with me just now...He never mention it at all..." Yuki said.

"He was on phone with you just now?" Minami asked as she is surprised.

"Kai said he will still accompany me to and from school...He wants me to let you and Otou san know he will fulfil his duties..."
Yuki said with a smile.

"He said that? Really? After all the things I have done to him...He is still willing to..." Minami said sadly.

"Oka san...Because we are a family...Thats why, please try to put yourself in Kai's shoes before you and Otou san make him fit into yours...
The situation now is like forcing Kai to wear high heels when he is used to wearing sports shoes. It wouldn't fit in if you and Otou san keep
forcing him to..." Yuki said.

Minami hugged Yuki. She thought Yuki will also hate her for what she has done. Hearing Yuki being so understanding towards her and Kai,
Minami feels very happy.


"I will take note...Thank you for not remaining angry at Oka san...Arigato...Yukirin...Arigato..." Minami said.

"Mohhh...Oka san...I could never bring myself to hate you...I love you so much, Oka san..." Yuki said.

"Arigato Yukirin...Oka san and Otou san loves you too..." Minami said and kissed Yuki's forehead.

They chatted for a while before going to bed. Minami is sad when she heard from Yuki she have no idea when Kai will be back as she dare
not ask Kai yet. Yuki assured Minami that Kai is well taken care of by their friends and he will definitely be back home soon. So just give him
some more time.


"I will update as much as I can to Oka san and Otou san everyday....Oyasumi Oka san..." Yuki said and tug herself into the bed.

"Arigato...I will let your Otou san know later...Oyasumi..." Minami said and switched off the lights as she walked out Yuki's bedroom.

Minami slowly closed the door of Yuki's room behind her. While she leaned against the door, she is thinking of something.

"But we don't have much time left..." Minami said in her mind before she walk back to her bedroom.

The next 3 days before their term break ends, each of them spent their time respectively at home.

Riku is trying to get more information on his fiancee from his butler while making sure his parents did not harm Yuko. With Kuu's help,
they thought of all sorts of plans to counter his parents if needed.


Other than helping Riku, Kuu is staying at home all day, playing games. Mariko will occasionally pop by his house to irritate him.

Jun is studying at home about medical knowledge. He still visits Sae and Kai everyday to help Kai change his bandage. After what happened
that day, they tried to avoid talking about what happened 10 years ago. They discussed how they should prepare for the upcoming inter-high instead.


Acchan goes to Kai's house everyday to play music with Yuki. Yuki and Acchan will chat on phone with Kai everyday but Kai still have no intention
of coming back home yet.  Acchan will accompany Yuki until Tomonobu or Minami comes back from their work before she can go home. Yuki would
update Tomonobu and Minami about Kai's well being over dinner everyday. But it always end up with them feeling disappointed.


Rena and Yuko still go to practice everyday in school. As it is Rena's last Inter-high, she decided to put all her focus on the championship.

Yuko is thinking about Riku everyday but was not able to find him anywhere after her practice. As Riku stayed at home these 3 days. She uses
her free time to think of all sorts of ways to make Riku like her and is looking forward to go to school to execute them.


Their short term break ended dramatically. As they welcome their new school term, they will also be welcoming new challenges. The Inter-high
championship and something that will bring a whole new impact in their lives.

Hi everyone! Here's Chapter 18! Its school reopening day for them! Yayyyy! Please enjoy reading~

Chapter 18

MORNING

At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 2-4 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

"Ohayo!" Kai greeted Riku and Kuu. Following behind him is Sae, Yuki and Acchan.

"Ohayo.." Riku and Kuu greeted back.

"Where's Jun?" Sae asked.

"Washroom..." Kuu replied.

"It's finally here soon...Inter-high..." Kai said.

The others nodded while Yuki and Acchan looked on.

"RIKU-NYAN!!!!" Yuko shouted along the hallway.

Everybody at the hallway looked at Yuko as she ran across the hallway to classroom 2-4. Spotting her prey, she ran towards him and
tried to hug him but Riku stopped her before she could do that. Knowing that it is the perfect time to execute his 'evil' plans, Riku points at
the signboard hanged outside their classroom.


"Be quiet at all times...Do not run on the hallway..." Riku said to Yuko as she look at the board.

After that, she turned to look at Riku and he winked at her. She was dumbfounded at the sight of Riku's wink to her. Looking at Yuko's reaction,
Riku is extremely happy.


"Got you!" Riku thought in his mind.

"Wow...Instant kill..." Kuu said.

Yuko was standing there like a statue and not moving. She did not expect Riku would be proactive and treat her nicely. Jun who just came
back from the washroom saw all that and walked towards Yuko.


"Yokatta ne, Yuko..." Jun said to Yuko.

"Hai..." Yuko said with a wide smile. Looking at Riku with eyes full of affection.

The other classmates were really surprised by what they saw. They all wondered who is this girl. After they put down their belongings, they
walked together to the assembly hall for the welcome address by the school principal and head back to class again.


"Minna...We have 2 transfer students who will be joining us." Their teacher said and gesture them to step forward to introduction themselves.

"Hajimemashite...Takahashi Yuki desu...I just moved back from America. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu..." Yuki said and bowed.

Right now, their classmates are whisphering among themselves.

"Wow...Isn't she pretty?"

"Do you know? She came to school with Takahashi and Maeda...Do you think they might be related somehow?

"Do you think they are twins?"

"I think they are cousins...Their looks and height are so different...Twins looks the same..."

"Quiet please! Oshima san... Please introduce yourself to the class..." Their teacher said.

"Hajimemashite!  Oshima Yuko desu~ I transferred here from Hokkaido! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!" Yuko said.

"She is cute..."

"Do you think she got a boyfriend?"

"What's her relationship with Kojima?"

"Maybe I should try asking her out after school..."

"No!" Riku said after what he heard about Yuko from the class gossipers.

Everyone looked at Riku. They are puzzled and wondered what is his 'No' about.

"Can I add on?" Yuko asked the teacher. And the teacher nodded.

"KOJIMA RIKU IS MINE!! He is off limits starting from now!" Yuko declared.

"Oshima san! What did you just say!" the teacher said.

Now they looked at Yuko. They finally understand what Riku's 'No' means. Hearing that from Yuko and seeing Riku's reaction, the Riku's
'Fan club members' are all heartbroken. Everyone is excited and is getting louder in their 'gossiping'.


"Quiet class! Takahashi san and Oshima san, please go back to your seat...We will start homeroom now!" The teacher said.

AFTERNOON - LUNCH TIME

"Riku-nyan! Let's eat together!!!" Yuko said and put her bento on Riku's table.

"Gomen... Why don't you eat with Acchan and Yuki... They have something to ask me..." Riku said as he points to a group of girls outside
his classroom.

"NO!!!!" Yuko rejected and cling on Riku tightly.

"Yuko...I believe its urgent matters...Just let Riku go..." Kuu said.

"Yar...Normally its just a few girls...Today is a big group...It must be really important..." Kai explained.

Kai knew Yuko's declaration must have spreaded across the whole school, thats why the girls are here.

"Ok...Be safe...If they do anything to you...Just shout my name ok?" Yuko pouted.

"Ok.." Riku said. Seeing her pouting face, he pinched Yuko's face before he leave with the girls.

Yuko is in a trance after what Riku did. She doesn't know what to do anymore for she is in deep deep love.

"Is he the same Riku I know?" Kuu asked.

"Isn't that a bit too extreme?" Sae asked.

"What have we done to Riku..." Kai said.

"Aww...Isn't that sweet?" Acchan asked.

"Are they together now?" Yuki asked.

"Should we resuscitate her? I think she is not breathing..." Jun said, pointing at Yuko.

"Leave her as she is...Let's go for lunch..." Kai said and left the classroom.

"Just like that?" Yuki asked.

"I think only Riku can defreeze her..." Kuu said and followed Kai.

Agreeing with what Kuu said, the guys left to get their food at the canteen while the girls stay to keep Yuko company.

AT THE CANTEEN

Kai, Sae, Kuu and Jun bought their bread and was looking for somewhere to eat. They saw Riku alone at the water basin area through
the windows at the canteen. They decided to go find out what happened.


AT THE WATER BASIN AREA

"Hey...How's everything?" Kai asked and tossed a curry bread to him.

"What are you guys doing here?" Riku asked and managed to catch the bread.

"Well, we saw you alone here...So we thought we should come here and take a look." Kuu said as he munch on his sandwich.

"I see...Well, all I could say 3 left..." Riku said.

"That big group of girls but only 3 left your 'club'?" Jun asked.

"Wow...How many Yuko's are there? What an unexpected turn of events..." Kuu said.

"NO! There's only one Yuko...If there are so many, I would rather stick to my parents arrangements...The 3 girls left that is willing to stay
beside me is Yuko, Acchan and Yuki...That's what I meant..." Riku said.

"Having regrets?" Sae asked.

"Not really...Somehow I feel much better without them...I feel I can be myself more..." Riku replied, smiling.

"Thanks to Yuko..." Kuu said.

"Hmm...Maybe...But I couldn't have done it if not for you guys..."  Riku said with a sense of gratitude towards his friends.

"We heard from Kuu about what you guys did these 3 days...Found any thing from Noro san?" Kai asked.

"Nothing...He says he doesn't know anything...But I believe he is keeping something from me..." Riku said.

"I see...So are you and Yuko going official?" Jun asked.

"I don't know if I should do that now..." Riku replied.

"Didn't you made up your mind? What are you hesitating now?" Sae asked.

"If we go official...Its means offically putting Yuko in danger...I don't want to take the risk as I still have no idea who that so call fiancee is..."
Riku replied.

"Just go for it...I rather take the risk than regret it before its too late..." Kuu said seriously.

They were all surprised that Kuu would say that and it seems that Kuu is regretting something. Riku looked at Kuu, he was wondering if it
has to do with Mariko.


"Ding dong"

"Let's head back to the class...We'll talk after practice today...Dinner together?" Kai asked.

"Sure..." The others said and together they head back to their classroom.

They were stuck with lessons after lessons for hours and finally class is over.

"Me and Sae will accompany Acchan and Yuki to the music room first...You guys can go straight for practice first..." Kai said and left with them.
They are helping Acchan and Yuki carry their guitar.

"Riku-nyan lets go!" Yuko said happily and dragged Riku with her.  Jun and Kuu followed behind.

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

Everyone is putting in all their best in the practice. Kai is still doing shooting practice as his wound is not fully healed. Just then, the volley girls
have a small dispute.


"Matsui Senpai...What is wrong with you? She just joined our club not long ago and you recommend her to be the libero?" Girl A asked.

The Sensei of the volleyball club has just announced the team members for the Inter-high. Yuko, having joined the club less than a week was
chosen as their libero with the support of Rena. Some club menbers are against Rena's choice.


"This has nothing to do with when she joined our club...She has the skills and I believe you girls have seen her play..." Rena rebuked.

"Are you trying to say she is better than us?" Girl B asked.

"I don't mean it that way...Why must you say it in this way?" Rena asked.

"Stop your nonesense! Are you girls doubting my judgement as your coach!" Sensei shouted.

The volley girls kept quiet but they were feeling really bitter in their heart.

"All go back to practice now! What are you waiting for!" Sensei shouted again.

Jun saw Rena crying as she resumed her practice with the team.

"Jun..." Sae called out and signal him to fall back to the team practice.

Both clubs continued their practice for the next 2 hours.

"Beeeep"

The basketball players gathered around Akimoto when they hear the whistle. Akimoto then announce the main players chosen for Inter-high.
Kai and his friends, as usual was chosen. Akimoto then passed them their match schedule.


"Kai...Its them..." Riku said as he looked at schedule.

They will be playing against their past comrades who left them to attend a new academy at Inter-high.

"Sure did not expect to be seeing them so soon..." Sae said as he shook his head.

"Our first match is against them..." Kuu said.

"We will definitely win...It does not matter who is it...We will win..." Kai said.

-Flashback-

At AKIBAHARA SPORTS STADIUM

Majisuka Academy won against Akiba Academy by a large margin due to insufficient of substitutes and poor stamina of the remaining members.
Kai and his friends are resting at their allocated control room after their lost.


"Didn't I tell you try to control your temper? Look at what you guys have done! 2 players out of 7 fouled out before half time...Come! I clap for you...
That's the greatest achievement you have set for the team, for the academy..." Akimoto shouted.

"It was them! They were not playing by rules and the referees are definitely biased!" Rinnosuke rebuked and walked towards Akimoto angrily.
(Sashihara Rinnosuke is a short tempered person, he is part of the pioneer member of Kai's basketball dream.)

"What did you just say? You were in the wrong and you dare to talk back to your coach?" Akimoto shouted.

"Sashi! Stop talking back to the coach! Chill will you?" Kai said as he tries to pull Rinnosuke back from confronting Akimoto with Sae and Kuu's help.

"What is wrong with you guys? We have fallen victim to their scheme! I thought you all will understand because we were there, playing in there...
Not coach!" Yuichi said agitatedly.
(Yokoyama Yuichi is the vice captain of the team. Sashi's best friend and is very loyal. He is the pioneer member and is the 1st person to help Kai
set up the basketball team.)


"Yuichi! Not you too...You should be helping to stop Sashi...You are the vice captain!" Sae said.

"SHUT IT! You don't have the right to tell me what to do!" Yuichi rebuked.

"Enough! If you don't admit to your mistakes...You are not welcome in my team!" Akimoto shouted.

"Fine! That is the best thing you have said today!" Rinnosuke said.

"As if I want you to be my coach! I can alway request for a change of coach..." Yuichi said and start to pack his bag.

"Sashi! Yuichi! Apologize to Akimoto Sensei now!" Kai retorted.

"Never! So what would you do if I don't?" Rinnosuke challenged Kai.

"......" Kai did not say a word. He is trying to keep his composure.

"Coward!" Rinnosuke said and pushed Kai.

"Hey! What are you doing! You this idiot!" Jun said angrily and pulled Rinnosuke's jersey.

"Why? Want to start a fight? Come on! I can easily take on 5 of you weaklings!" Rinnosuke challenged them.

"Enough! You clowns! Sashihara and Yokoyama, you are fired! Get out now! You don't deserve to be in my team!" Akimoto shouted.

"Kai! Do something about it..." Riku said plead.

"You are going to agree to that Kai?" Yuichi asked as he look at Kai sternly.

"Just ...Do whatever you want...I don't care anymore..." Kai said as tears flow out from his eyes.

"I am very disappointed in you..." Yuichi said and left with Rinnosuke.

After a few weeks, Rinnosuke and Yuichi transferred to another academy.

-End of flashback-

"That's all for today...Everyone dismissed!" Akimoto said and left.

"Arigato gozaimasu Akimoto Sensei!"

"Let's pack up and go back have an early rest!" Kai shouted.

"OSUUU!"

Meanwhile, at the other side of the court.

"Arigato Sensei!"

After their coach left the court, the volley girls started to leave.

"Where are you going? We still have to clean the balls and the area..." Rena said.

"Ah gomen Senpai, I am not feeling well...I need to go see a doctor..." Girl A said.

"Senpai, if SHE can be part of the school team so fast...I believe SHE is able to clean up fast too...We might be a hinderance if we stay..."
Girl B said.

Rena looked at the other girls but they just look away, avoiding eye contact with Rena.

"Just go if you want..." Rena said angrily and starts to pick up the balls on her own.

"Let me help you..." Yuko and Rie said. They then begin to pick up the balls.

Seeing that, Riku wanted to go over to help Yuko but is stopped by Kai.

"We should not interfere in their club's business...Wait till when they are all gone..." Kai said.

After all the girls left, Kai got some of his members to help out the volleyball club. They were able to finish their cleaning and the basketball
members slowly starts to leave.


"Arigato gozaimasu..." Rena said to the basketball members.

"Senpai...Gabatte!" The guys said and left.

"Yuko...Are you ok?" Riku asked.

"Of course I am Riku-nyan! Hehehe..." Yuko said and hugged Riku.

Jun ran towards Rie and Rena.

"Kitahara..." Jun called out.

"Na ni?" Rie asked.

"You might want to have this..." Jun said and gave Rie the match schedule.

Rie and Rinnosuke used to date each other. They fall out when Rinnosuke insisted on leaving Akiba Academy. Till now, Rie is still in
love with Rinnosuke.


"Arigato..." Rie said and wave the match schedule list.

Rena suddenly felt disappointed that Jun did not call her first.

"He used to call me first whenever he sees me..." Rena said to herself.

"Senpai? Senpai?" Jun called out.

"Gomen...Yes?" Rena asked.

Jun smiled and took the basket of balls from Rena's hands, helping her put them into the storage room.

"Jun! Meet outside the gate...We are going to pick them up..." Sae said and went to the music room with Kai.

"OK!" Jun said.

"Rena san...I will be leaving too then...Riku-nyan let me tag along with them!" Yuko said happily and then she ran after Riku and Kuu,
who just stepped out the entrance.

"Senpai...I am leaving too if there is nothing else for me to do..." Rie said and bowed.

"Ok...Take care and see you tomorrow..." Rena said with a smile.

Now the court is left with Rena and Jun. Jun walked back to Rena after he place the volleyballs in the storage.

"Senpai...Busy after this?" Jun asked.

"No...I'm going back home..." Rena said.

"I see...Take care on your way back then Senpai...I'll make a move first...Ja ne..." Jun said and bowed to Rena. He then ran to get his
bag and ran after Kuu and Riku.

Rena then walked to her bag feeling disappointed and looked at the volleyball keychain hanged on her bag.

"Baka Rena..." Rena said to herself.

Chapter 19A

At AKIBA ACADEMY SCHOOL GATE

"Hey!" Kai shout out to the guys waiting at the gate.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..." Yuki said.

"Let's go...I'm hungry..." Riku said.

"Oh no! Riku-nyan is hungry...We better hurry!" Yuko said as she cling on Riku.

They then left the school to have their dinner at a cafe.

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

They managed to get a table and sat down. After that, they placed their order and chat while waiting.

"So...Are we resuming the topic we were talking about during lunch break?" Jun asked and looked at Riku.

Hearing that, Riku is totally freaking out. He stared at Jun.

"Na ni! What topic? Tell me!" Yuko said with her eyes beaming with curiousity.

"Well Yuko...I'm afraid we are not continuing that topic anymore...If you wan to know it in deeper details...You have to ask Riku yourself..."
Kai said with a smile.

"Oh...Ok...I shall not ask anymore then...Tell me when you feel like telling me~" Yuko said as she smiles at Riku.

Seeing that, Riku turned away to look elsewhere as he does not want Yuko to see his blushing face. This made Yuko sad and confused as she
have no idea what is going on. At one moment, Riku being nice to her and now he is being 'nasty'.


"How's your club session today?" Kuu asked Yuki to change the mood.

"It's really fun! Acchan is totally awesome!" Yuki said excitedly.

"Glad that you are having fun..." Sae said as he look at Yuki.

Everyone looked at Sae and was grinning.

"What! Stop that freaking smiles on your faces!" Sae retorted.

"HAHAHA" Everyone laughed.

The waitress served them their dinner and they begin to eat.

"Itadakimasu!"

"Kai kun...Do you like katsudon?" Yuko asked. Remembering the katsudon she and Acchan made for Kai.

"Totally...It's a must have for me everyday!" Kai said happily.

"He said that 'A katsudon a day, keeps his worries away'...Isn't that silly?" Acchan said.

"I think its admirable...Isn't that his way of showing his conviction? Reminding himself not to bring his worries with him everyday?" Yuko asked.

"Wow...Interesting way of describing Kai's weird habit..." Kuu said.

"Hey! It is not weird at all...That's right Yuko! Totally hit the jackpot!" Kai said.

"I think you and Yuko looks good together..." Acchan pouted.

"NO! I only belongs to Riku-nyan! I don't want to eat katsudon everyday!" Yuko retorted and hugged Riku tightly.

"Althrough its not saying directly at me... It still feels hurt..." Kai said sadly.

"HAHAHAHA"

"Minna hear this out! Acchan passed the first round audition!" Yuki said excitedly.

"What audition?" Sae asked.

"Really? You really sign up for that? When you go sign up? Why didn't you ask me go with you?" Kai asked.

"Yupp...AKB Composing Talent Search...On that day you...bumped into me..." Acchan said.

"Oh...That day..." Kai said softly.

"Hahaha...It does not matter when...We should congratulate Acchan!" Jun said with a fake laugh as he know that's the day where Kai left home.

"Congratulations!" Everyone said.

"When is the next round?" Kuu asked.

"In a month's time...Around your Inter-high period..." Acchan said.

"We'll definitely be there to support if we can..." Sae said.

"It's ok...I will definitely be there..." Yuki said.

"Wow! I can't wait to hear the songs you composed! Can I come by to take a look?" Yuko asked.

"Sure! I'll be really happy if you do..." Acchan said.

"Riku-nyan...Are you ok?" Yuko asked as see Riku is really quiet during the whole conversation.

"Yeah...I'm fine..." Riku replied and focused eating his baked rice.

OUTSIDE FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

"We are heading this way...See you guys tomorrow!" Yuko said and left with Riku. Riku is sending Yuko home as its already late.

"Ok then...Ja..." Kuu said and left with Jun.

"Let's go..." Kai said with Sae, Yuki and Acchan following his lead.

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE SHOPPING DISTRICT

"Look Riku-nyan!" Yuko said as she points at the sports apparel shop where they first met.

Riku looked at the shop and starts to recall the event where Yuko is begging the Tenchou for discount for a pair of shoes. He then thinks
about the events that happened between them.


"Riku-nyan? " Yuko called out. Riku was brought back to reality upon hearing Yuko calling out to him.

"Yuko...Can I talk to you for a while?" Riku asked with a serious look.

"Ok..." Yuko said and follow him to the park.

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

"This is the place where I told you I have a fiancee right?" Riku said.

"Yes..." Yuko said sadly.

Riku and Yuko sat on the same bench where they first came here together. Seeing Riku so quiet, Yuko dare not ask any questions as she is
reminded of what happened last time when they came here.


"You know...The topic we were talking about during our lunch break...Is about my fiancee...And you..." Riku said.

"I see..." Yuko said and looked down.

"I think...You have the right to know...and choose...If you really want to be with me..." Riku said.

-Flashback-

(6 years ago where Riku is in his grade 6)

AT KOJIMA RESIDENCES

"I WILL NOT AGREE TO THIS! I DON'T WANT A FIANCEE!!" Riku shouted at his parents and ran out his house.

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

"BUMP"

As Riku was not looking at where he was running, he bumped into a girl.

"Itaiiii..." A girl said.

"Argh...Gomenasai..." Riku said as he tries to stand up.

Riku have bumped into a chubby girl.

"Gomenasai...Are you ok?" The girl asked as she try to help Riku up.

"Yes...Its was nothing..." Riku replied but actually he was in pain. His got some scratches from the fall.

"Ah...Please sit here first...I'll be...right back..." The girl forced Riku to sit down after seeing the scratches.

The chubby girl ran out of the park. After more than 15 minutes, she came back with a plastic bag from the pharmacy. The distance from the
park to the pharmacy is about 5 minutes walk, but the girl took more than 15 minutes to get back. Because of her chubby figure, it was actually
difficult for her to run. So on her way to and from the pharmacy, the girl took a lot of time to catch her breath.


"You should have walked there...There's no need to rush..." Riku said.

"But...(pant)...You...(pant)...are in...(pant)...pain..." The girl said as she points at Riku's eyes.

Realizing what the girl meant, Riku wiped away his tears.

The girl helped Riku clean his wound and was distracted by Riku's shoes.

"The shoes you were wearing...Looks unique...The design is different from the other sports shoes..." The girl said.

"Oh...These are basketball shoes...Its made to protect the wearer's ankle, thats why its collar is higher than normal sports shoes..."
Riku said proudly as he lift his feet up to show the girl.

"Wow...That's cool..." The girl said as she look at the shoes.

"Well...You can easily get them anywhere...I got mine at the sports shop along the shopping district...I always wear this to play with my friends..."
Riku said. He then realized the girl looking very sad.

"Even if I got one...It will be no use to me...I...don't have any friends to play with..." The girl said sadly.

"Why?" Riku asked.

"Because of this body...They say I run too slow...Even if we play hide and seek...I am always be the catcher as I can never hide myself well...
So they won't play me anymore..." The girl said and begin to tear.

"No! You have one now! I will play with you..." Riku said.

"Really? You will play with me?" The girl asked as she wipe  her tears.

"I am Kojima Riku..." Riku said.

"I am Ikoma Mayumi..." Mayumi said.

After that, they play together after school everyday. Sometimes, Riku would bring Kuu along.

"Mayumi chan!" Riku shouted as he ran towards her.

"Riku?" Mayumi said while she is holding a box.

"What are you holding?" Riku asked.

"Ri...ku...This is...for..you..." Mayumi said shyly and gave Riku the box.

"Wow! A gift for me? Arigato!" Riku said and open the box.

Riku opened the box excitedly while Mayumi is feeling really nervous. She is scare that Riku does not like the present.

"Keychain! Its a basketball keychain! Awesome!" Riku said.

As he picks up the keychain and saw some words carving on it.

"It's my name! Yay!" Riku said excitedly.

SOMEWHERE AT AKIBAHARA PARK

"Is Riku there with that girl?" Kazuto asked.  Kazuto, is Riku's father.

"Yes Kazuto sama..." Noro replied.

"Get the girl out of the way...I do not want anyone to spoil the engagement plans..." Kazuto said.

"Yes Sir..." Noro replied and the call ended.

AT KOJIMA RESIDENCES

"Riku san...Where have you been these days after school?" Himiko asked. Himiko , is Riku's mother.

"Oka sama, I was playing with friends at the park..." Riku replied.

"Do not go there anymore, you are to come back home straight after school." Kazuto said.

"Why can't I?" Riku asked.

"We are in the midst of preparing for your engagement. So we need Riku san to be around." Himiko said.

"NO! I don't want any fiancee! I don't need one! I want to have the freedom to choose what I want!" Riku shouted.

"Watch you attitude! What are you saying Riku san! Don't be such a child and listen to us. We are doing this for your own good." Himiko said.

"But I am a child! You are not doing me any good! I don't like fiancee and I don't want one!" Riku retorted.

"Ikoma Mayumi? Are you talking about that chubby girl you meet everyday?" Kazuto asked.

"How did you know that! Don't tell me...You get someone to follow me? That's cheating!" Riku said and looked at Noro.

"It doesn't matter who...Just break off any ties with her now...Don't blame me if anything happens to her if you insist on meeting her and spoil
the engagement plans..." Kazuto said sternly and left the house with Himiko.

"Why are you so cruel to me!" Riku shouted.

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

Mayumi is circling around and looked really nervous. Then she saw Riku walking into the park.

"Riku kun!" Mayumi called out.

"Mayumi chan..." Riku said.

"Riku...What's wrong?" Mayumi asked.

"No...Nothing..." Riku said with a force smile.

"Riku...You know...I have been wanting to tell you..." Mayumi said.

"What is it?" Riku asked.

"I...I always liked you Riku! Please accept...my feelings!" Mayumi said and hand out a box of chocolate to Riku.

Riku likes Mayumi. He had lots of fun with her and talking to her makes him feel really comfortable. Looking at her always trying her best
even when she is very timid, makes him want to protect her more. If it wasn't because of his parents demands, he would accept her. And the
fact that he is still a child, getting Mayumi to hate her is a better choice than getting her hurt because of him.


"Are you serious? Are you trying to be funny?" Riku asked and smack the box of chocolate on the floor.

Mayumi is shocked and did not know what to say.

"Look at you...Do you think that is possible? I don't like girls like you..." Riku said but he was really hurting inside.

"What's wrong with me? I can change..." Mayumi said while she cries.

"I like girls who are confident, who are smart and pretty...You won't ever be able to fit in to all that..." Riku said.

"Why are you so mean to me...You wasn't like this before..." Mayumi said and cried loudly.

"This is the real me! I'm sick of playing a good boy..." Riku said.

"Playing? You was not serious of being my friend?" Mayumi asked.

"Yeah...thats...right..." Riku said.

Hearing that, Mayumi ran out of the park. Riku then pick up the chocolate, they are handmade chocolates with the shape of basketball.
He begin to eat them even if its dirty. Apologizing to Mayumi in his heart with every bite he takes.


AT KOJIMA RESIDENCES

Riku would get Kuu's help to help him look out for Mayumi everyday. It has been weeks and Mayumi has not seen or heard any where.

"Riku san, we have a good news to share with you. The other party has agreed to the engagement." Himiko said happily.

"What? This is crazy! This thing is still going on?" Riku asked angrily.

"Of course...You have done well not meeting with that girl." Kazuto said.

Hearing what his father said and not hearing any news about Mayumi. Riku suspect it must be his father's doing.

"Did you do something to Mayumi's family?" Riku asked.

"I did not do anything, there's no need for me to do it..." Kazuto said.

"Meaning..You got someone else to do it?" Riku asked and looked at Noro.

"I have no idea what are you saying..." Kazuto rebuked, forging ignorance.

"Why are you so cruel?" Riku asked.

"I don't care what you think but as long as you are a Kojima, you do what I tell you! The engagement is already agreed by both parties families
even if you don't accept it! Prior to the engagement, you are not allow to have any form of relationship with other girls as long as you are engaged!
Don't blame me if something happens..." Kazuto said and left with Himiko

"I HATE YOU!" Riku said and kicked the table.

From then on, Riku always keep his distance from the girls.

- End of flashback -

"That's why..." Yuko said.

"Yuko...I like you...I really like you...But I want you to think carefully...As I don't want to put you in any form of danger...I don't want..."
Riku said and before he can finish his sentence, Yuko sealed his mouth with a kiss.

Feeling Yuko's love through the kiss, Riku felt that he was right in following his heart. He is more determined to fight for his love. With that,
Riku and Yuko is officially a couple.


"Riku-nyan, did you know? Ever since the first time I see you...I am dangerously and madly in love with you...So I am not afraid of anything
else as long as I have you by my side..." Yuko said after she break off from the kiss.

"Me too.." Riku said and he kissed Yuko.

SOMEWHERE AT AKIBAHARA PARK

"Is it confirmed?" Kazuto asked. 

"Yes Kazuto sama..." Noro replied.

"You can now execute the plan I told you to...You can leave now. Remember...Keep it low." Kazuto said.

"Yes Sir..." Noro replied and the call ended.

Noro then left the park as instructed by Riku's father.

Chapter 19B

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE SHOPPING DISTRICT

"Wow! Look at that Kuu? Isn't she gorgeous? " Jun said as he pointed at a photo displayed inside a boutique.

Kuu turned to look at the photo. It's Mariko, wearing a white one piece dress. Kuu was stunned by the beauty of Mariko.

"Kuu? Moshi moshi! Kuu!" Jun called out.

"Uh...What?" Kuu said.

"Dumbfounded by her beauty?" Jun teased.

"Nah...She is just average..." Kuu said and walked off.

"She looks familiar...Have I seen her somewhere?" Jun asked and starts to wonder.

"Kukai's girlfriend..." Kuu said.

Just then, a familiar figure walked pass them.

"Hey Kuu...Isn't that Kukai-nii? That girl doesn't look like his girlfriend we just saw at the photo...Who's that person? " Jun asked while
he points at a man with a girl beside him.

Kuu looked at the direction Jun pointed. It is indeed Kukai and the girl beside him is definitely not Mariko, as Mariko has short hair.

"Kukai!" Kuu called out.

Kukai turned around and saw Kuu looking at him angrily. Knowing a 'storm' might be coming, Kukai asked his 'girlfriend' to wait for
him in front while he talk to his brother.

"Why are still here this late? Shouldn't you be at home now?" Kukai asked.


"I just had my dinner with friends after practice...What about you...Why are you still here and who is she? What about her? Didn't you
2 have plans together?" Kuu asked angrily.

"Woah woah...Chill there boy...You talk like a jealous little girlfriend...She is just a colleague of mine...Who is this her you are talking about?
Gomen...There too many 'her' and I don't know which 1 you are refering to..." Kukai said with a smirk.

"Don't play dumb with me! You know who I am talking about! Why are you doing this to her! You idiot!" Kuu retorted and pushed
 Kukai against the wall.

"Hey Kuu! What are you doing to your brother! Stop that!" Jun said and tried to pull Kuu back.

"So what if I know who you are talking about...What I do or how I treat them is my choice...I'm playing dumb? I think you are the one
who is playing dumb! You think I don't know you like Mari? You liked her since middle school!" Kukai shouted as he pushed Jun away
to talk to Kuu.

Kuu was shocked that Kukai would know that. Jun was stunned by the new discovery,  as Kuu never talks much about himself when
he is with them.


- Flashback -

(4 years ago where Kuu is a 1st year middle school student and Mariko is 18 years old)

At Kuu's house

"Taidaima..." Kuu said.

"Okaerinasai Kuu...You are early today." Kumi said. Kumi is Kuu's mother.

"Practice ends early today...Is there a guest in the house?" Kuu asked his mother as he saw a pair lady's shoe at the entrance way.

"Oh its Mari chan...Kukai's new model in his agency...She will be staying at our house for the time being..." Kumi  said.

"Again? Why can't he just get them a hostel to house them in..." Kuu said.

"Shh...Don't say that Kuu...Mari chan and your brother is at the living room...And it's just for a while..." Kumi said.

"How long this time?" Kuu asked.

"Erm...Around 3 months?" Kumi said.

"WHAT!!! Are you kidding? The previous ones stayed less than 1 month...She is going to here for 3 months?" Kuu exclaimed.

Hearing their conversation, Kukai and Mariko walked towards them.

"Gomenasai...I am really sorry for intruding you..." Mariko said as she bowed to Kumi.

"Thats very rude of you to say that...Don't you have any empathy for others? Mari came all the way from Fukuoka to live her dream...
Even to the extent of falling out with her parents..." Kukai explained.

"Ara...Kuu don't mean anything bad...He is just surprised...Boys at his aged react like that...haha...Let's so in and sit...I will go brew
us some tea now..." Kumi said and walked into the kitchen.

"Auntie...Please let me help you..." Mariko said and followed Kumi to the kitchen.

"Kuu...You have 1 hour...Go clear your stuff and bring whatever you need to my room..." Kukai said and walked to the living room.

"Why always me..." Kuu said and walked to his room to pack his belongings.

At Kuu's bedroom

While Kuu is bidding 'goodbye' to his game station, he heard foot steps approaching to his room.

"Don't rush me! It's not even an hour yet...I'm finishing soon..." Kuu said.

"Gomenasai...I am sorry you for causing you inconvienence...Is there anything I can help?" Mariko asked.

Kuu is embarrassed of what he just said to Mariko. Not knowing what to say, he decided to move to his brother's room earlier.

"Yeah...Help yourself to this room...I am done here and you can bring your belongings here..." Kuu said and walked over to Kukai's bedroom.

THE NEXT DAY

At Kuu's bedroom

"Beeep...Dong...Dong...BIIIIIII"

Kuu just came back from his practice and was walking up to Kukai's room. While walking up the stairs, Kuu heard some noise coming out
from his room.


"Hey! What are you doing!" Kuu shouted.

"I am playing game...Wah...This is difficult...Talk to you later..." Mariko said and continued playing.

"How can you touch my stuff without permission!" Kuu said angrily.

"Without permission? You told me to help myself to this room...So I am making full use of the facilities here..." Mariko said.

"You really helped yourself when I tell you to? Thats ridicu..." Kuu said. He cut his sentence halfway as he is distracted by the tv screen.

"AHHHH!" Mariko said and pressed the buttons on the controllers simultaneously.

"YAYYYY" Both of them said and hi-five each other.

"How did you do that? I tried for hours and I couldn't kill that boss! Tell me how!" Kuu said excitedly.

"Well...There is a trick to it..." Mariko said.

The 2 of them discussed and played games for hours.

Dining area at Kuu's house

Mariko and Kuu are still discussing about games happily while his family looked on.

"What's the happy occasion?" Kukai asked. Breaking their conversation.

"Kukai! Mariko is awesome...She knows alot about games!" Kuu said happily.

"Really?" Kumi asked.

"Not really...I'm just a little better than Kuu..." Mariko said and everyone laughed.

- 2 months passed -

At Kuu's house

"Taidai..." Kuu said halfway and was interrupted by Kukai's shout.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"  Kukai shouted.

Kuu quickly took off his shoes and walked to the living room to see what is happening. He saw Mariko is being lectured by Kukai.
She is crying.


"Be it your expression, poses and catwalk... Everything about you is STIFF! Its like a moving stone! I want a true model! Not a stone!"
Kukai said angrily.

"Gomenasai..." Mariko said and bowed.

"2 MONTHS! Thats all I have been hearing for 2 freaking months! Do you know the seriousness of this? You are not getting any job!
 You are not paid! Do you want to keep on living here!" Kukai retorted.

"Pak"

Kuu accidentally knocked off some shoes with his bag. Kukai and Mariko is distracted by the sound and looked at Kuu.

"Gomen...I don't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation...I just came back..." Kuu said and point at the entrance door.

"Think about it on your own...Don't disappoint me anymore..." Kukai said and left the house for a meeting.

Mariko sat down on the sofa. She is still crying. This is the first time Kuu see her like this. Since she is always so bubbly when they talk
and play games together.


"Mariko? Are you ok?" Kuu asked.

"Maybe I should give up and go back to Fukuoka...I'm not cut out to be a model..." Mariko said while crying.

Hearing that Mariko wanted to go back to Fukuoka. Kuu is flustered.

"NO!" Kuu shouted.

"......" Mariko looked at Kuu.

"You should not give up! You have the potential...I know it! Those people are blind!" Kuu said.

"I tried...I really tried to do what I am told to...I tried to be like them...I just can't meet their standards..." Mariko said.

"NO! Thats wrong!" Kuu said angrily.

"Just what am I suppose to do!" Mariko shouted.

"Don't do anything! Just be yourself! Why are you trying to be like others...I like the real Mariko more!" Kuu said.

Mariko was stunned by what Kuu said, hearing that made Mariko blushed.

"Arigato...Thats really sweet of you..." Mariko said and wiped her tears.

"I don't mean that kind of like... I mean I...I mean I mean...I don't know!" Kuu said and dashed up to Kukai's room,
embarrassed by what he just said.

After that incident, Kuu started to avoid Mariko as he is still embarrassed by what he told Mariko.

- Few days later -

Kuu is lying on Kukai's bed, munching chips while reading his favorite manga.

"Kuuuuuu..." Mariko called out to him as she ran up the stairs.

Kuu was startled by the shout and accidentally knock off the packet of chips onto the floor.

"Kukai's gonna kill me..." Kuu said and quickly get off the bed to clean up the mess.

"Kuu! So you are here! Why didn't you reply me when I call you!" Mariko said and knock on Kuu's head.

"OUCH! You are too loud...See what you have done to me..." Kuu said as he points at the mess.

"Never mind that now...I have a great news to tell you!" Mariko said excitedly as she pushed away the mess.

"Wow..Impressive...Its not good but great...Must be a really great thing...What is it?" Kuu asked.

"I have been chosen to be one of the models for AKB fashion show!" Mariko said while jumping up and down.

"WOW...That is really impressive! Congratulations Mariko!" Kuu said and join Mariko in jumping.

Suddenly, they lost their footing and landed on Kukai's bed.

"Gomen..." Kuu said and tried to get up.

When Kuu tried to get up, Mariko pull Kuu towards her.

"Daisuki..." Mariko said while looking at Kuu. They looked at each other.

"Tadaima..." Kukai said.

Hearing Kukai's voice, they quickly get up from the bed. Mariko went back to Kuu's room, leaving Kuu behind.

"You are back? I thought nobody is at home..AHHHHHHHH!" Kukai said halfway and started to scream at the sight of the mess in his room.

"Hahaha..Gomen...I will get it clean up right away..." Kuu said.

The next few days, Kuu is being punished to sleep at the living room. Kuu and Mariko still talked and play games together normally.
None of them brought up what happened that day.


- 1 month passed -

"Mari chan...Do you really have to go? You can continue to stay here you know?" Kumi asked. She is feeling sad that Mariko is leaving
as she treats Mariko like her own daughter.

"Auntie, I will come back frequently to see you...Thanks for letting stay here...I cannot impose on you any more..." Mariko said.

"Mohh...Otou san...Say something...Don't just stand there..." Kumi said as she elbowed Takashi. Takashi is Kuu's father.

"I like your curry very much, please feel free to come by any time to cook it..." Takashi said.

"Otou san! What are you talking about! I am asking you to help me ask Mari chan to stay!" Kumi said and slapped Takashi's back.

"Ouch!" Takashi yelled.

"Kuu...Anything to say to me?" Mariko asked.

"I will miss you..." Kuu said softly.

"The ride is here...Let's go..." Kukai shouted. He is standing outside their house, waiting for the cab.

"What did you say?" Mariko asked as she did not hear what Kuu said due to Kukai's shout.

"Nothing...Ja.." Kuu said.

"I will still come back to find you...I want to complete the game we played together so wait for me and don't complete on your own..."
Mariko said and left with Kukai.

For the next 2 years, Kuu and Mariko's relationship still looks like a pair of siblings in the eyes of Kuu's parents. Mariko would frequently
come to their house to have meals with them. Occasionally staying over to play games with Kuu.


- During the last year of Kuu's middle school -

SOMEWHERE ALONG THE SHOPPING DISTRICT

Kuu and Mariko went out together to have their lunch after playing games for hours.

"Hey look at that! Isn't it pretty? If SOMEBODY bought this for me I will marry him..." Mariko teased as she points at the ring by the
window, displayed by the jewerly shop.

"It looks pretty decent...But don't suit you...You are toooo OLD for that..." Kuu said and ran off.

"Hey! What's the meaning of this!" Mariko said and ran after Kuu.

- Few days later -

"Wow...Mari chan...Thats a very cute ring you have there and it suits you...Can I see it?" Kumi asked.

"Thanks for the compliment Auntie..." Mariko said and showed Kumi the ring.

"Wow...Who is the lucky guy to be able to win this fair maiden's heart?" Takashi said.

"Otou san...Don't tease Mari chan...But I am very really sad...I thought my son could at least win your heart so I could get you as
my daughter..." Kumi said sadly.

"Aunite...Your son sure did...It's from your son..." Mariko said.

"Kukai! Well done!" Takashi said.

"Kukai! I knew you would be able to help me get such a wonderful daughter!" Kumi said happily.

Hearing that, Mariko looked at Kuu. But Kuu was not looking at her, he is hesitating whether to tell his parents that the ring actually
was a gift given to Mariko by him.


"Of course...Mari is a really nice girl. I am really a lucky guy to have her as my girlfriend..." Kukai said.

Kuu is shocked by what Kukai said and stared at him. Kukai lied. Kuu realized that Mariko is looking at him and avoided looking at her.
Disappointed with Kuu's reaction, Mariko looked at Kukai.


"Yes...Kukai is really nice to me and even chose this ring for me..." Mariko said.

"Aww...That's sweet of you Kukai..." Kumi said.

All of them chatted happily except Kuu. He remained quiet throughout the dinner. From then on, Kuu would avoid talking to Mariko and Kukai.

- End of flashback -

"What I do is none of your business! Like it anot, Mari has agreed to my proposal. So you better stop harboring thoughts about her."
Kukai said and left with the girl.

"DAMN!" Kuu shouted and dropped his body to the ground.

Jun quickly walked over to Kuu and helped him up. But Kuu will push Jun away.

"Let me be...Don't touch me..." Kuu said angrily.

"No...You stand up right now!" Jun said as he attempt to pull Kuu up again.

"Just leave me alone...Please..." Kuu said.

Knowing that Kuu would not get up so easily. Jun decided to sit down with him.

"I know you wanted to be alone...Just treat that I am invisible..." Jun said.

"You don't have to do this...Just go!" Kuu shouted.

"No...I'm staying...I'm just doing what you did for me...I will not leave unless you leave with me..." Jun said.

"Baka..." Kuu said as he looked at Jun.

"We sure are..." Jun said.

They sat down and looked at the people passing by without exchanging any words.

"Hey...Is the person Kukai-nii proposed the one you regretted?" Jun asked, breaking the silence between them.

"......" Kuu simply sit there and did not answer Jun's question.

"Do you want to regret again?" Jun asked.

"Just what am I suppose to do? I am still a child then and now...I do not even dare to admit the ring I gave her...How am I suppose to
fight against Kukai!" Kuu retorted.

"Don't compare yourself to a child! Even a child will fight for their rights to eat the sweets they want! Toys they want to play! You are a coward!
You did nothing! Stop using child as your way out!" Jun yelled.

"She has already chose him! What more can I do!" Kuu said agitatedly.

"ASK! Did you ask her? Did you tell her you love her? You didn't give her a choice! How is she suppose to choose you! Idiot!" Jun retorted.

Hearing that, Kuu started to calm down and think about what Jun said.

"Kuu..You have to tell her and let her know... Even I, knowing that Senpai likes Sae...Did not give up until I get the answers or reasons I need
to know before I can give up..." Jun said.

"Yours and mine are different...She agreed to marry him despite knowing Kukai's deeds..." Kuu said.

"Listen Kuu...You knew and saw how Kukai-nii is like...Can you really bear to throw away the happiness of the person you love and care?
Can you really bring yourself to their wedding and congratulate them with your heart?" Jun asked.

Hearing that, knocked Kuu out in his denial. He cannot hesitate anymore.

"No...I have to stop her...I cannot let Kukai destroy her happiness...Kukai don't deserve to have her..." Kuu said.

"Thats the Kuu I know...Welcome back..." Jun said and gave Kuu a pat on his back.

"Arigato..." Kuu said.

Kuu decided to confess to Mariko after hearing Jun's words. He does not want to have any more regrets without trying. He is determined
to win Mariko over no matter what, even if his family is against it
.

Chapter 19C

OUTSIDE KAI'S HOUSE

"Kai...Are you leaving now?" Yuki asked.

"Yeah...Go on in now. Its late, you should get some rest...Ja..." Kai said.

"Ja ne! See you tomorrow Yukirin..." Acchan said.

"Oyasumi..." Sae said.

Kai, Sae and Acchan then turn towards Acchan's house direction.

"Kai..." Tomonbu called out.

"Otou san..." Kai said and turned around.

"Aren't you coming in?" Tomonobu asked.

"Gomen...It's late and I have to walk back Atsuko back...Ja...Otou san..." Kai said. He then turn to Acchan and Sae, walking off without
saying much to Tomonobu.

"Otou san, at least Kai is willing to talk to you...Just give him some more time to think..." Yuki said when she noticed Tomonobu's sad face.

"Yeah...I have to be patient...Let's go inside..." Tomonobu said and usher Yuki into the house.

Tomonobu and Yuki walked into the house after the 3 of them walked off.

"Kai..You are so mean!" Acchan said.

"What! I don't know what to say...What do you expect me to say and do..." Kai retorted.

"So you are nervous?" Sae asked.

Hearing that, Kai walking faster to avoid answering Sae's question. Leaving Sae and Acchan behind.

"Acchan!" Sae shouted.

Kai heard Sae's shout, turned back to them. Acchan is laying on the floor gasping for air.

"ATSUKO!" Kai shouted and quickly ran over to Acchan. He then quickly search Acchan's bag for inhaler.

"Giggles"

Hearing that, Kai stopped his search and looked at Acchan angrily.

"Don't do that! I almost freaked out from that!" Kai said and knocked on Acchan's head.

"Hehehe...Gomen..." Acchan said.

"Don't ever ever do that to me again..." Kai pouted.

"Gomen..." Acchan said and cupped her hands on Kai's cheek.

"Seriously stop that moment of yours...I am very TIRED so let's go..." Sae said and walked away from them.

"Hey wait for us!" Kai said and quickly pulled Acchan up.

Together, they safely walked Acchan back home and is now returning to the apartment.

ALONG AKIHABARA STREET

"Kai...May I say something?" Sae asked.

"What is it? Sure..." Kai said.

"I seriously think that...You and Acchan should start going out..." Sae said.

"Not yet...Just a little bit more time..." Kai said as start.

- Flashback -

1 year ago

Kai's bedroom

"Ohayo Ohayo Ohayooo!" Acchan singing while tapping on Kai's study table.

"STOP IT! What are you doing here again!" Kai exclaimed.

"Uncle asked me to come wake you up! Get up now lazy bum!" Acchan said and went to pull Kai's blanket.

"Mind your own business! Just go away now!" Kai shouted and pulled back his blanket. Covering himself under it.

The room remained silent for a while. Curious about the silence, Kai peeked from his blanket.

"ATSUKO!!" Kai shouted and quickly jumped out from his bed. At the sight of Acchan laying on the floor motionless.

Kai shaked Acchan, hoping to wake her up.

"Atsuko! Atsuko! Please open your eyes! Please don't scare me..." Kai said and started to tear while hugging Acchan in his arms.

"Giggles"

Hearing that, Kai stopped his panic state and looked at the giggling Acchan. Knowing that he had been tricked, he his hug and stood up.

"Itai!!!" Acchan yelled as she bumped her head onto the floor when Kai released his hug.

"Serve you right! Don't do that! I totally freaked out!" Kai said and knocked on Acchan's head. Then he quickly wipe his tears.

"Are you crying for me?" Acchan asked when she saw him using his hands to dry his watery eyes.

"There's dust! I'm not crying...It's itchy around my eyes so I'm rubbing it away...What do you want from me..." Kai said.

"Uncle is worried about you and Sae asked me to drag you to go practice..." Acchan said.

"Busybody...There's nothing to worry about and I don't want to go for practice anymore...It's meaningless now..." Kai said.

"Meaningless? So you are not serious when you confessed to me?" Acchan asked.

Kai have confessed to Acchan on the first day of their high school. He have been wanting to do so since middle school once he
grows taller than Acchan. But sadly, his plans did not go well. So he decided to wait till when they are in high school.


Acchan is not going to agree to it easily and so she posted a test to test Kai's seriousness. Knowing that winning against Majisuka
Academy has always been his dream. Acchan promised to go out with him if he can win against them. However, Kai's team lost to
them and his team synergy now is at a very bad state.


"NO! I AM VERY SERIOUS! I mean what I said when I confessed! I swear!" Kai exclaimed.

"Then wash up and go practice now...If you don't practice, how are you going to win against them? I think you are not serious in
wanting to go out with me..." Acchan pouted.

"So you are willing to wait for me?" Kai said as his face brighten up at what Acchan said.

Acchan made a funny face at Kai and went out his room without answering his question.

"YATTA!" Kai said and quickly wash up to go attend practice.

- End of flashback -

"Time?" Sae wondered and finally get what Kai meant.

"Don't tell me its about that stupid promise?" Sae asked.

"Hey! Its not stupid! I am betting my happiness with the seriousness I have in wanting to win against Majisuka..." Kai retorted.

"But I know...Acchan would still go out with you even if this bet is not on..." Sae said.

"Hey Sae! Are you say we won't ever win against them?" Kai asked.

"NO! I mean, even if Majisuka never exist...Acchan would definitely still go out with you..." Sae replied.

"You maybe right...But I think its better this way...I want to prove to Atsuko I am definitely worthy to be someone she is can rely on
and trust at all times...I definitely will fulfil the promise to her no matter what..." Kai said confidently.

"Yeah...For you and Acchan...I will try my best too..." Sae said.

"I rather you try your best between you and Yuki..." Kai said.

"What's there to try my best for Yuki?" Sae asked, forging ignorance.

"Sae...Stop running away and face it like a man...What happened before is not your fault at all...We are still kids and how much
 can we actually do! What Yuki said and react is just a child throwing a temper then! I believe she don't really mean what she said..."
Kai said seriously.

- Flashback -

( 10 years ago when they are 7 years old )

UNDER THE SAKURA TREE

"Quick! Hide here!" Kai said.

"Wait...for me..." Sae said while he tried to run as fast as he could to Kai while carrying Yuki on his back.

Yuki's condition is getting worse each day. Not wanting to lose hope, Minami suggested to have the whole family move to America
as she believes Yuki will be able to be well taken off there. However, Tomonobu's business is here, it would be difficult for him to give
up everything here and just go with his family.


After much discussion, Kai will be taken care of by Tomonobu while Yuki will go with Minami to America to further her treatment.
However, Kai and Yuki were strongly against it and posted a challenge to their parents. If Yuki can avoid not going to hospital for a month,
she will be able to stay here.


"I think nobody seen us...We should be safe here..." Kai said as he peeked out to see the surroundings.

"Yuki chan...(pant)...Are you ok?" Sae asked while he slowly put Yuki down to rest.

"Yes..." Yuki replied but her face is looking really pale and she is sweating.

"You are so cold Yuki chan...Are you alright?" Sae said as he tried to use his handkechief to wipe off the sweat on Yuki's head.

"I am...just...tired..." Yuki said while she squeeze her hand tightly on her chest. She is in great pain.

"Kai...What do we do now?" Sae asked seeing Yuki in pain, Sae is about to cry as he is scare.

"Breath! Tou san say when you are afraid, take in big breathe! It will give you courage!" Kai replied.

Together, they breath in and out. However, it was useless as Yuki's heart pain seems to intensified with every deep breathe taken.

"Yuki chan? Yuki chan don't sleep! You have to walk back yourself later! I am not going to carry you back later!" Sae said.

"Yeah! Oka san will bring you to hospital if you don't walk back yourself! Wake up Yuki!" Kai said.

Since the start of the challenge. Kai with Sae's help, will carry Yuki on their backs to the secret hideout. So that when Yuki is in pain,
their parents will not find out but will instead thought that she is getting well when they returned back together everyday.


"Kai... Is she ok? Maybe we should go back now...I'm really scare..." Sae said and begin to cry.

"SHE IS JUST SLEEPING...I think Yuki is...Erm...Just sleepy...SLEEPY...WAHHHHHHH...I am scare...." Kai said and burst out crying.

For the past 20 over days, althrough Yuki is still having pain in her heart, she is able to endure it without fail. B now, Kai and Sae is
experiencing something different from what they usually see.


"Lets go back...Yuki chan is sleeping...I don't want Yuki chan to sleep here...Its scary sleeping here..." Sae cried out.

"Yuki will be angry at me if we go back without waking her up...I don't want Yuki to hate me..." Kai cried out.

The cries of the 2 boys alerted some nearby police who were patrolling area that area.

AT THE HOSPITAL

- Outside Yuki's ward -

"Slap"

"Look what you have done!" Haruto shouted as he slapped Sae. Haruto is Sae's father.

"Haru! He is still a child...He doesn't know anything...." Tomonobu said as he tried to stop Haruto from slapping Sae again.

"Isn't Yuki chan just sleeping? Otou san why are you so angry?" Sae asked as he cried.

"You almost caused to her to be like your Oka san! Do you not realized the mistakes you have committed?" Haruto shouted.

Sae's mother just passed away due to an traffice accident. Tomonobu and Haruto are long time friends and Tomonobu have been
helping Haruto out in taking care of Sae, ever since his wife passed away. The 2 families are really close.


"Oka san? Yuki is not coming back anymore?" Sae asked and cried loudly.

"I don't want to go to America! I want to stay here! Onii chan baka baka baka! I want to see Sae chan! You are liar liar liar!" Yuki shouted.

Not wanting to get Yuki agitated anymore, Kai came out crying with Minami.

"Tou san...Yuki hates me...What should I do...WAHHHHH!" Kai said and ran into Tomonobu arms and cried out loud.

"Sae kun...Can you go inside and talk to Yukirin? Can you help Auntie get Yukirin to go to America?" Minami asked.

Sae and Yuki are very close. They would always share their strawberry shortcake together whenever they have one. However
when it comes to strawberries, they will fight till the winner gets the last piece but Sae would definitely give to Yuki at the end. Sae
would always take extra care of Yuki as Kai is clumsy and Sae always keep his promises towards her. So she trust Sae more than Kai.


"Minami! What are you saying to a child?" Tomonobu asked.

"Anata...Yukirin says she only listens to Sae kun now...She won't go unless Sae kun say she should go...What should I do? Her body
is getting weaker and we can't drag the treatments any longer...Can't you understand how I feel?" Minami cried out.

Tomonobu and Minami are lost. They do not know what they should do now and is really sad. Seeing their sad faces reminded Sae
how his father would like every night when he goes to bed, after his mother passed away.


"Auntie Minami,  I just have to tell Yuki chan to go America? If Yuki chan go to America, you and Uncle will be happy?" Sae asked
as he wiped his tears.

"Hai..Sae kun..Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Minami said and hugged Sae.

- Yuki's ward -

"Are you ok?" Sae asked as he peeked through the door way of Yuki's ward entrance.

"Sae chan! Where have you been?" Yuki asked.

"I was waiting outside with Otou san...You are not sleepy now?" Sae asked and walked towards Yuki.

"I am now genki seeing Sae chan...You know...Onii chan is a liar...He promised he will not hand me over to Oka san...He broke
our promise...Baka onii chan!" Yuki pouted.

"Yuki chan...You should go America with Auntie..." Sae said.

"Huh?" Yuki said.

"Auntie say you will get better there..." Sae said while looking down.

"Sae chan... Are you handing me over to Oka san like Onii chan? You said you will protect me and won't let Oka san catch me... "
Yuki said as she started to sob.

"Yuki chan is better there than here...Auntie and Uncle will be happy and...I will too..."  Sae said and tears started to form around
his eyes. He dare not look at Yuki so he is still facing downwards.

Looking at the Sae who is looking down and not facing her, Yuki is very sad.

"Why are you so cruel to me! I hate you! I don't want to see you anymore! SAE CHAN BAKA!" Yuki said and cried.

After that, Minami took Yuki with her to America. Sae and Yuki did not contact each other. Sae gets updates from Kai every now and then.

- End of flashback -

"I pushed her away...I broke our promise and I couldn't protect her at all...Whenever I think about how sad she must be by herself in America,
I just can't forgive myself...I don't deserved to be loved by anyone...I am better off  being alone by myself before I hurt anyone again..." Sae said.

"You loved Yuki all these years don't you? You never fails to show your concern whenever we talk about Yuki. Sae, its already 10 years...We were
just 7 years old, what can you expect a child to do...When Yuki went for her treatment, nobody knows how well it would go and she might not be
able to come back at all...But now, she is finally back! How many 10 years do you want to waste..." Kai said.

"I think the way we are now is fine...I...want us...to stay just like this now..." Sae said.

"Sae! Wake up please! Both of you love each other! Don't act ignorance anymore! You heard her! At the music room just now..." Kai retorted.

- Flashback -

AT THE MUSIC ROOM

"Kodomo no koro kara

We grew up together
like an older brother and younger sister
from our childhood on
Arguing over who'd get the strawberries
on the shortcake, we'd go to school together
without speaking to each other

The friends around us
started to marry,
and I thought that
before long
happiness would come my way

I'd have been glad to be able
to say I loved you, but I was stubborn
the whole time, obstinately
not even touching hands...
You were my childhood friend,
not the object of love, but
little by little,
something changed
Even though my heart didn't beat fast,
as if somehow suddenly relieved,
I noticed my affection for you

Kai and Sae are listening outside the music room.

"Why did you stop? Something on your mind?" Acchan asked.

"Acchan...Do you think a person's affection can be conveyed through songs?" Yuki asked.

"Definitely...Thats what I always thought..." Acchan said.

Yuki pondered.

"Is this song...refering to Sae?" Acchan asked excitedly. Yuki nodded.

"Yay! I knew it!" Acchan said happily.

"But...Is it alright for me?" Yuki asked.

"Why not! So the 2 of you are the same about all..." Acchan said.

"Same?" Yuki asked.

"Feelings! Yukirin's and Sae love each other!" Acchan said loudly.

"Acchan not so loud! What if somebody heard us..." Yuki said anxiously.

"Did you come back here to confess?" Acchan asked seriously.

"That's part of the reason...That's why I tried my best to come back here no matter what...I don't want any regrets..." Yuki said.

"Giggles"

"Acchan? What's so funny?" Yuki asked.

"Nothing...I was just thinking how Kai would react if he knows that...Luckily, confessing to Sae is just part of the reason...Your main
reason is to come back to Uncle and Kai right?" Acchan asked.

"Hai...I missed them badly..." Yuki said.

The 2 girls continue to chat happily while waiting for Kai and Sae. Meanwhile, Kai and Sae is struggling when to go inside.

"Hey...Where are you going?" Kai asked Sae softly.

"I will wait downstairs..." Sae said and went down.

"Hey!" Kai said softly.

"Who's there?" Acchan asked after hearing voices outside the music room.

Kai walked into the music room.

"It's me...Just me...Ready to go?" Kai asked.

"I thought I heard you talking to someone?" Acchan asked.

"JUST ME! I...was...cursing at Sae!" Kai said and acted angry.

"What happened? Something happened during practice? Where is Sae?" Yuki asked worriedly.

"Downstairs...Of course something happened! I heard you like him..." Kai said.

"You heard everything? Yatta! Save me from telling you again!" Acchan said while cheering happily.

"Kai...I...I..." Yuki said and blushed.

"I'm happy for you...Yuki...I will definitely support you...Let's go then...the others are waiting for us at the school gate..."
Kai said and helped them with their guitar.

- End of Flashback -

"I can't just sit back and see the both of you suffer anymore...It's obvious that you both love each other... If Yuki can be brave enough to
come back here to confess, why can't you? Don't let Yuki wait anymore..." Kai said.

"I am not confident that I can be a person who can take care of Yuki...I am scare...scare of losing her..." Sae said.

"She is not looking for a bodyguard to take care of her! All Yuki wants is to love and to be loved by you...If you are scare of losing her,
 just make sure you hold her hand tight this time...Don't ever ever let it go again..." Kai said.

Sae starts to think through his mind but he still felt that he is not ready yet.

"Gomen...Just...Just give me some more time..." Sae said and walked away.

@Haruko: Yeah!  :cow:

@junrena: Here is something you might like :cathappy:

Here's the last part of chapter 19! Enjoy~

Chapter 19D

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

Rena stopped and look into the park. She is thinking of the events that took place here. Her failed confession between her and Sae.
Jun and her clarifying their misundestandings. Her, getting confused by Jun with Sae's kindness.


- Flashback -

- 2 days ago -

Rena is sitting alone at the park after her night run. Closing her eyes, she is enjoying the cool night breeze blowing at her.

"Senpai..." Sae called out and Rena looked at Sae.

"On your way to meet your Otou san?" Rena asked.

"Nope...I'm on my way back after meeting him. I thought I should drop by to say hi since I saw Senpai..." Sae said.

"I see..." Rena said.

"Senpai...I heard that Jun and you have things sorted out...Is everything ok?" Sae asked.

"Hai...We are just...Senpai and Kouhai relationship from the start...So it doesn't really make any difference from before..."
Rena said sadly.

"Is it really impossible for you and Jun?" Sae asked, upon seeing Rena's sad expression.

"Miyazawa kun...What is that suppose to mean? Are you going to push me to Jun kun again?" Rena asked angrily.

"Senpai...What you see may not be the actual facts...What you feel might not be your actual feelings..." Sae said.

"What do you mean by that?" Rena asked.

"I know I promised not to tell but I really can't let this misunderstanding go on..." Sae said.

"What misunderstanding are you talking about?" Rena asked seriously.

"The person who is always looking out and caring for you is Jun, not me..." Sae said.

"Stop pushing Jun kun into the picture...Why are you so cruel! He is your friend!" Rena said angrily.

"I will be really cruel if I don't tell you the truth and let Jun's effort gone to waste!" Sae said seriously.

Rena is confused. She has no idea what Sae is trying to tell her.

"What are you saying? Even if you don't like me...Stop giving me excuses to confuse me..." Rena said angrily.

"Remember that time when you and I were alone at the basketball court?" Sae asked.

"That time when you gave me a full bag of melon pans?" Rena asked.

"I was there because Jun asked me to...He said you are feeling down and needs some company..." Sae said.

"You are lying...Even if you want to make me give up on you...You don't have to make up lies..." Rena said as she can't
believe what she just heard.

"I am not lying...Do you think its possible for me to get all the melon pans by myself at such a short time?" Sae asked.

"Indeed, with that full bag of melon pans. The buyer would definitely take a long time to purchase it from different stores. The stores are
quite some distance away from the academy too." Rena thought.

"Jun knows you like melon pans, which I have no idea at all...This silly Jun even used up all his money to get the pans. Thats why I
 have to borrow 100 yen from you because I did not bring my wallet. If you don't believe me, you can always asked Acchan...She was there
to give you the bag of melon pans..." Sae explained.

"Ok...Let's just take it that Jun is really the one who bought me melon pans. Anything else I need to know?" Rena asked. She is still not
convinced by what Sae said.

"And...That night where you were almost robbed..." Sae said and was interrupted by Rena.

"Miyazawa kun...Enough! Thats really overboard...Are you trying to tell me all along you were just following instructions? Enough of your jokes...
Say anymore, I am really going to be angry..." Rena said.

"Why would I lie about such things...If I would...I could have told you about it 2 years ago! Then we wouldn't be so hurt and messed up now!"
Sae retorted.

"True... He could have just told me about it 2 years ago when he rejected me...Instead of giving me other excuses..." Rena thought.

"Senpai...Jun really loves you very much and would do anything to protect you..." Sae said.

"If what you say is true, why didn't he show himself up instead when I was in danger?" Rena asked.

"It could have been Jun to save you but he has to attend a family hosted dinner...Thats why I was asked to help even through I have no
appointment to meet up with Otou san..." Sae said.

"That is really a wonderful story you made up...You made it sounds like he knows I will be in danger any time..." Rena said.

"You may not believe this but this silly guy decided to watch over you everyday after he read on news that there are chain robberies
happening around here...Senpai, I really did not make these up...Take a look at this news article and thats why Jun decide upon himself to
protect you till the robber is caught..." Sae said and showed Rena the news article on his cellphone.

Rena read the article. It was indeed talking about the chain robberies that is happening around this residential area 2 years ago.

"Senpai...I don't want you to miss out such a great guy althrough he can be clumsy and silly at times...He already missed out the chance to
be with you because of his lack of confidence and courage..." Sae said.

"Why are you telling me the truth now? Does that makes you feel better?" Rena asked.

"Senpai, I am really guilty claiming credits from Jun who really cares and loves you... I don't want both of you to miss out each other because
of these hidden truth...I am really sorry for not telling you earlier which caused you so much pain..." Sae said.

"If you have told me earlier...Jun kun wouldn't be so hurt because of me..." Rena said.

Tears were flowing down unknowingly from Rena's eye when Rena thought about Jun. Seeing that, Sae knew his guess is correct.

"Senpai...I think you actually loves Jun...What you feel about me is more like gratitude...Whenever you are down..." Sae said.

"What...What are you talking about...I can't be loving...him..." Rena said.

"Among us, Jun is the only 1 that you feel comfortable calling by his name..." Sae said.

"No...Thats because we are both Matsui...I thought it would be better to call him that..." Rena said.

"You might not notice Senpai...But the smile you displays when seeing Jun is the sweetest smile I ever seen and that would only happens
when Jun is around...You can comfortably laugh being with Jun...Jun never fails to bring a smile to you when you see him..." Sae said.

"Thats because...because..." Rena said and was stuck as to what to say.

"Senpai...You do like Jun...I am just the confusion element between the 2 of you..." Sae said.

Rena is trying to process the informations that is running through her mind. Sae then took out a box and gave it to Rena.

"Senpai...Take this...This might be a little late but this is from Jun..." Sae said.

Rena open the box. Its a volleyball keychain inside.

"Jun wanted to gave it to you but...With all the current situation that is happening around us, he said you would be happier if I was the one
who gave it to you..." Sae said.

"Baka Jun..." Rena said as she smiles while looking at the keychain.

Seeing Rena's reaction, Sae feels that Jun might actually have a chance.

"Senpai...I really hope you would think about it and consider giving Jun a chance..." Sae said.

Too many things is happening at the same time. The person that Rena thought is always standing by her is not Sae but Jun. Rena thought all
along she is in love with Sae but now, Sae told her that she actually likes Jun. Hearing that from Sae, she actually felt something different in her
when it comes to Jun. However, she is really confused and lost now.


After thinking through, Rena decided to put all her time and effort on Inter-high. She does not want any relationship problems to cause her to
lose any focus.


- End of flashback -

"Why am I thinking of this now? I have too much things to take care of now...Focus! Rena! Focus!" Rena said to herself and left.

At Kai's house

- Yuki's bedroom -

"Knock knock"

Yuki stopped her practicing and look at the doorway from her room.

"Okaerinasai...Oka san..." Yuki said.

"Still practicing? You should rest early Yukirin..." Minami said.

"Oka san...You should rest more...You have been staying up late and have to go to hospital so early everyday..." Yuki said.

"I will try...There's so much work at the hospital...How I wish I can spend more time with you?" Minami said while she caress Yuki's cheeks.

"Oka san...I am not a little girl anymore so I can take care of myself...You should take a break Oka san...You never had 1 because of me..."
Yuki said sadly.

"Silly...Aren't I having now? Being with my family is the best break I ever have..." Minami said and hugged Yuki.

"Oka san...Arigato...I am really happy to have you as my Oka san..." Yuki said and hugged Minami tightly.

"Mohh..Aren't you still my sweet little girl? It's really getting late and you have school tomorrow..." Minami said while she helped Yuki put her
guitar back into the casing.

"Hai...Oyasuminasai Oka san..." Yuki said and tuck herself into her bed.

"Oyasuminasai...Yukirin..." Minami said and kissed Yuki's forehead.

- Tomonobu and Minami's bedroom -

Minami walked into her bedroom and lied down on the bed. Tomonobu is at his working desk, reading some files.

"Okaerinasai...How's everything today?" Tomonobu asked and put his files down. Then he walked to Minami who is resting on the bed.

"I'm so tired...I am really so tired..." Minami said with a cracked voice.

Tomonobu saw a stack of files fallen out of Minami's working bag on the bed. Seeing that, he became worried. Minami would never bring
work related files into their room. She would always put them in the study room so that she can work there. It must be something that cannot
be seen by Yuki or Kai.


"Is that...the report of..." Tomonobu asked.

"Anata...What should we do?" Minami cried in Tomonobu's arms.

"What did...What did the report says?" Tomonobu asked.

"6...6 months left...Unless we get it operate on...But chances are...only 40%..." Minami cried out.

"......" Tomonobu's heart sank. He hugged Minami tightly.

"We just came back here finally...We waited so long...Why now?" Minima cried out.

"Does...Yuki know?" Tomonobu asked.

"No! We mustn't  let her know now...Not now..." Minami said.

"Then when? She has the right to know...and Kai..." Tomonobu said sadly.

"Please don't tell them yet...I want to get more analysis done first...If its still the same, I will talk to Mayuyu about it...Maybe she can help us..."
Minami said.

Tomonobu's heart really hurts for Minami. She always have to shoulder on all these by herself.

"Gomen...I wasn't able to help out much...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Tomonobu said and started to sob.

"Anata..." Minami said and hugged Tomonobu tightly.

Great knowing what happened between Yuki and Sae 10 years ago

Also knowing the mystery behind Minami's weird mumbling a while back....

Well now that Sae might have put a light into Rena feeling for Jun

What would she do next?

Would she confess after her match?

Would Jun be able to believe that Rena really has feeling for him?

What about Yuki?

Would she be safe?

Would she even get a heart before she expires?

What about Sae?

Would he be brave to confess to Yuki?

Would he know what's happening to Yuki?

Ah... so that was the reason as to why Kai and Atsuko never get together yet.

Also Kuu and Mariko????

Can't wait to see the next chapter

@cisda83: I think chapter 19 kind of summarized their individual relationship of their past... :twothumbs
               From here on I would say, more challenges are coming their way :cathappy:

Sorry but I am getting lazier so I am going to fast forward the time more and more :cathappy:

Here's chapter 20A! Enjoy!

Chapter 20A

2 weeks has passed since their school term started. Everyday is just a normal school day except for some. Kai's classmates
still can't get themselves convinced that he and Yuki are twins. Every since Riku's 'fan club' disbanded, the girls are now jumping to Sae,
Kuu and Jun.


The basketball team and the volleyball team are practicing really hard for their upcoming Inter-high championship. Acchan is busy practicing
her song for the composing competition with Yuki's help.


At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"Beeeep"

"Take 15!" The volleyball coach shouted.

All the girls went out for their 15 minutes break except for 3. Rena, Yuko and Rie are sitting on their bench, drinking water.

"Gomen...Rena san...Rie chan..." Yuko said.

"Again? Yuko chan...Stop that...I really don't mind..." Rie said.

"But...If it wasn't because of me...Everyone would still..." Yuko said and was interrupted by Rena.

"Still be ok? Yuko chan...Its not your fault...This is a team synergy problem...Even if you are not around, they will still make a fuss out of
this...Since it happened last year too..." Rena said.

"Last year too? Majide?" Yuko asked.

"Yes...Last year...Its me who got into this situation as I am the only first year to be chosen for the team play for Inter-high...So I understand
how you feel Yuko chan..." Rie said.

"But...We can't let this go on...I should apologize to them..." Yuko said.

"There's no need for that...If they are really unhappy, they wouldn't have come for practice...They just need time to clear away the clouds that
is clouding their minds...Its going to be ok...Trust me..." Rena said.

"If that's what you say..." Yuko said.

On the other side of the court

"JUN!" Riku shouted and passed him the ball.

Upon getting the pass from Riku, Jun made his shot and it went in. The 3 girls are looking the basketball team practice while they chat.

"Good shot!" Sae said and hi-five with Jun.

"Thanks...Let's get more points!" Jun said and ran back to his position to defend.

"Wow...Matsui sure is good at that..." Rie said.

"Huh? What did you say?" Rena asked as she thought Rie is talking to her.

"Opps...I mean male Matsui...Not you Senpai...Maybe I should consider calling him Jun when I am with Senpai...So it won't get mixed up again..."
Rie said.

Rena pouted when she heard Rie call Jun by his name. Yuko saw Rena's pouting face and grin as she can sense some jealously aura from Rena.

"Beep"

"Take 10!" Akimoto said.

All the guys rushed out like a pack of thirsty wolves, to get themselves a drink. While the usual 5 just walked towards the entrance.

"How's your leg Kai?" Sae asked.

"Good...Great to be able to join in the practice...Arigato Dr Matsui..." Kai said.

"Nah...I was just..." Jun said halfway and was interrupted.

"Matsui kun...Would you like to have this?" A girl asked.

One of the volleyball girls offered Jun a sports drink when they guys are on their way for their break and the girls are returning from theirs.

"Ah...Somebody confessed to Jun..." Yuko said.

Rena accidentally spill water out from her mouth when she heard what Yuko said. She then quickly look at what is going on near the entrance.

"Yuko chan...Thats not a confession...She is just giving him a drink...That doesn't count as a confession..." Rie said.

"Who would suddenly give a drink to someone? Obviously she likes Jun...Kai, Sae and Kuu are there but they didn't receive any...So Jun must be
special...Luckily she gave it to Jun, if she give to Riku-nyan...I will bite her nyan...Grrrrrr..." Yuko said seriously.

"Hahaha..Who dares to go near Kojima now with you around? I think all his previous fans are jumping to Sae, Kuu and Jun...Sudden explode of
popularity..." Rie said.

"Really?" Rena asked.

Looking at Rena's worried expression. Yuko and Rie are getting excited.

"Who is it? Who is it? Miyazawa, Minegishi or Matsui Jun?" Rie asked excitedly.

"Sae!" Yuko said.

"Wow! How did you know that Yuko chan? Rie asked.

"Erm...Maybe Jun?" Yuko said.

"So Senpai, which one?" Rie asked.

Since Yuko and Riku are a couple now, they would share everything under the sun. So Yuko knows what happened between Rena, Sae and Jun.

"I think Miyazawa might be someone Senpai would fancy...But Miyazawa is a bit mysterious I think..." Rie said.

"No..not him..." Rena said softly.

"What?" Yuko and Rena asked as they did not catch what Rena just said.

"Nothing!" Rena said and continue to drink from her bottle while she look at the entrance area.

"Erm...Arigato...But I prefer plain water...So save it for yourself and do your best for the rest of the training..." Jun said and then he quickly walked
out the court with the other 4 following him behind.

After the 5 guys left, the other volleyball girls which was with the girl started to gossip.

"Aww...What a pity...Just when you finally have the courage to talk to Matsui kun..."

"But at least he rejected her offer in a nice way...He is so adorable..."

"I think Matsui kun is totally hot these days, don't you all agree?"

"I'm going to refill my bottle...I'll be back soon..." Rena said and went out the court.

"Erm...Ok..." Rie said, surprised by Rena's sudden reaction. She then looked at Yuko who is grinning by herself.

"Love is in the air..So its not Sae..." Yuko thought in her mind.

"Creepy..." Rie said as she look at Yuko.

AT THE MUSIC ROOM

"What's taking Yukirin so long?" Acchan wondered.

Yuki went to the washroom and has yet to return. Its has been more than 10 minutes.

"I better go take a look..." Acchan said as she is worried that something might have happened to Yuki.

Acchan quickly walked out the music room to look for Yuki.

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

Everybody resumed their practice after their break.

"Pant"

"Kai!"

Kai looked up and saw Acchan. She looked really exhausted and is gasping for air. He quickly stopped his practice and ran to her.

"Kai...(pant) Kai...Yu..." Acchan said while she gasp for air.

"Sae! Get the inhaler from my bag! Hurry!" Kai instructed Sae upon seeing Acchan's condition.

After the previous incident where Acchan act to have a asthma relapse. Kai decided not to take chances and asked Haruko for one in case
of emergency.


Sae quickly ran and get Kai's bag. Then he ran towards Kai while he search.

"Here!" Sae said and quickly pass Kai the inhaler.

The basketball and volley team members stopped in their practice and gathered around.

"Everyone move back! Don't crowd around them! They need fresh air...Please stay clear away from them..." Jun said while he usher the
others to move to the other side.

"Kuu...Go to the nurse office to get some help..." Akimoto instructed.

"Hai!" Kuu said and ran as fast as he could.

"Kai..." Acchan said.

"Relax and breath in this...Here...Its going to be ok...Atsuko...breath..." Kai said.

After taking in the medication, Acchan feels better and is calmer.

"Did you run all the way here? What happened? Where is Yuki?" Kai asked anxiously.

"Yukirin...Yukirin is missing! Kai...Please go and find her now...I can't find her anywhere...Gomen...I didn't take good care of her...
I should have accompany her to the washroom..." Acchan said and started to cry.

Hearing that, Sae ran out of the court to search for Yuki.

"Please be ok...Please be ok...Please be ok...." Sae chants in his mind while he runs.

"Hey! Come back here!" Akimoto shouted as Sae ran out without his permission, abandoning practice.

"Akimoto Sensei! Gomenasai!" Kai said and ran out of the court too.

"What is going on? Why is my captain and vice captain abandoning practice? What is so urgent that they don't even have the time to
explain to me!" Akimoto said angrily.

"Sensei! Please forgive them and allow me to join them too!" Jun said as he bowed down to Akimoto.

"Even you? Give me a reason! If not, I am not allowing anyone to leave this place until the practice is over!" Akimoto said sternly.

"Yuki has heart condition!" Riku blurted out, he is also very worried and wanted to help Kai search for Yuki.

"Who is Yuki?" Akimoto asked.

"Kai's twin sister...She just transferred here...Sensei...Please allow us to go search for her! Onegai!" Riku pleaded.

Hearing that, Akimoto made a decision.

"Everyone! Stop practice and go help them search...Go now!" Akimoto shouted.

Seeing the basketball members is being activated to aid in the search, Rena also want to help.

"Sensei! Please allow me to help them!" Rena pleaded.

"Ok...Go...It's better to have some girls around to help them if need to..." The volleyball coach said.

The other volleyball girls decided to volunteer themselves after hearing what Rena said.

"Rena Senpai...Let us help too..." Girl A said.

"Ok...Let's split into teams for the search then..." Rena said.

"Hai!" The girls then ran off.

"Yuko chan...I think you stay here with Maeda san...Take care of her until the school nurse comes..." Rena said.

"Ok...Leave it to me..." Yuko said.

With the girls help, they were able to cover the school grounds quickly. Searching every corner and place they could think of.

"How is it?"

"Nothing here..."

"Let's go over there..."

"Hey wait...We just came back from there...Can't find anyone..."

"Ok...Then let's go there then..."

The combine search went on for about 1 hour.

"Damn!" Sae said as he kicked the trash can.

"Sae! Calm down!" Jun said as he pick up the trash can.

"Where could she have go! We searched everywhere! Damn! Think! Think! Think! Stupid Kai!" Kai reprimanded himself.

"Kai! Get hold of yourself! Sure there are places that we left out...Lets concentrate and think again together..." Kuu said.

"Maybe...There..." Kai said and ran on his own.

"Hey Kai...Where are you going?" Jun asked.

Not wanting to lose sight of Kai, everyone followed him.

SCHOOL TRASH COLLECTION AREA

"Yuki...Yuki...Can you hear me?" Kai shouted.

"K..ai..Here...he..re..." Yuki said in a weak voice upon hearing Kai's shout for her.

"YUKI!!!" Everyone shouted.

"I'm...he...re...Kai...Jun...Riku...Kuu...S...ae..." Yuki said.

"Kai..You sure this is the place?" Kuu asked.

"This is the area none of us have covered...Let's not waste time...Just search..." Jun said.

"Bam!...Bam!...Bam!"

Kai hit the metallic door of the trash house. Trying to see if there is any respond from inside.

"Kai! What are you doing?" Riku asked.

"Why can't this stupid door open! ARGH!!" Kai said angrily.

"Kai! Its locked...I will get the security officer to open this...But are you sure Yuki is in there?" Jun asked.

"I don't care!" Kai said and picked up a metal rod laying nearing the trash house. He tried to break the lock pad.

"Let me help you..." Sae said.

Together, they managed to break the lock pad. Riku and Kuu helped to open the metallic door.

"It's Yuki!" Jun shouted as he points at a motionless figure on the floor.

All of them ran into the trash house to see if Yuki is ok. Rena and some of the volleyball girls who heard the banging of the metallic door,
found them and ran into the trash house too.


"Is she alright?" Rena asked.

"Give me a minute...Everyone stand clear first...Don't crowd around her..." Jun said as he tried to do his 'assessment' on Yuki.

The other looked on. The volley girls were impressed with Jun's calmness and way of handling the situation now.

"Breathing...Pulse...Normal...No other abnormalities of fall or head injury...We can move her...Let's bring her to the nurse office to
treat her scratches on her hands and legs..." Jun said.

"Arigato Jun..." Kai said and carried Yuki up his back with Sae's help.

AT THE NURSE OFFICE

"Kai...Kai..." Acchan shouted as she opened her eyes.

"Yes?" Kai asked.

"Where's Yukirin? Did you find her? Is she ok?" Acchan asked anxiously and got herself up from the bed.

"Wait wait wait...You should lie down...We have found her...She is resting over there now..." Kai said as he points to the other bed.

Acchan looked over to the bed, Yuki is resting there. Sae is sitting by her bed, holding Yuki's hands tightly.

"Gomen...I didn't take care of Yuki...Gomen..." Acchan said.

"No...Don't apologize...I want to thank you instead...Trying your best for us...Arigato Atsuko...I am glad that both of you are safe...Arigato..."
Kai said as he grab and hold Acchan's hand and teared.

"Gomen...I made you worry again..." Acchan said while she wipe away the tears from Kai's cheeks.

Yuki opened her eyes and saw Sae. She is really happy and teared.

"Sniff"

Sae looked up and saw Yuki crying. He then realized that he is holding Yuki's hands and thought he might have hurt her.

"Gomen..." Sae said and let go of Yuki's hands.

"No! Don't let go!" Yuki said.

"Ok! I won't ever let it go!" Sae said and hold Yuki's hands tightly again.

"Giggles"

Sae and Yuki are embarrassed. They have been seen by Kai and Acchan and now, they are laughing at them.

"Atsuko...I will never let you go.." Kai said.

"Kai...Make sure you hold my hands tight and never ever ever ever ever...Let me go...Even if you want to wash your hands...
You must never let it go...Think of ways to wash it without letting it go..." Acchan said.

Irritated by their acts, Sae let go of Yuki's hand and stood up. He walked towards the curtain and draw it. Now the 2 bed are separated
from each other through the curtain.


"Idiots..." Sae said angrily as he sat down beside Yuki.

"(Giggle)...Kai and Acchan never fails to make me laugh..." Yuki said.

"Hey! They are laughing at us! You shouldn't laugh with them..." Sae protested.

"Ok..Ok...Gomen..." Yuki said while trying to hold her laughter.

"Are you ok? Who locked you there?" Sae asked sternly.

"Sae...Are you worried about me?" Yuki asked.

"Hey...You haven't answer..." Sae said but was interrupted by Yuki.

"Do you?" Yuki asked seriously.

"Yes...I am almost going crazy when I couldn't find you anywhere...I thought I might lose you...lose you again...I don't want that..."
Sae said sadly.

Yuki hold Sae's hand and look at him in his eyes.

"Sae...I am really glad when I open my eyes...You are right in front of me...Holding my hands..." Yuki said with a smile.

Seeing that, Sae can longer contain his feelings. He wants to be by her side everyday, making sure she is safe. He wants to be able to hold Yuki's
hand and tell her how much he love her everyday.

"Yuki..I love you...I love you very much..." Sae confessed.

"Sae...I  love you too..Since we were young...I love you..." Yuki said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Sae caressed Yuki's cheeks gently to wipe her tears. As they looked into each others eyes, they became closer and closer till their lips touched
each other, feeling their love blossomed through the kiss.

Chapter 20B

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"Akimoto Sensei! Gomenasai!" Kai and Sae shouted and bowed to Akimoto.

"Mmm...Everything ok?" Akimoto asked.

"Hai...Nurse Sensei say they will be fine after a rest...So they are staying at the nurse office..." Kai said.

"I see...You 2 can leave now...Go pack your belongings..." Akimoto said.

"Sensei...I am really sorry...I don't mean to skip practice and..." Kai tried to explain but was interrupted halfway.

"It's better for them to go back home and rest...I heard from Kojima that you 2 have been taking care of them...So...Don't keep them waiting..."
Akimoto said.

"Sensei..." Sae said. He is shocked by Akimoto's understanding as he thought Akimoto is angry with them.

"Faster go...Don't disturb our practice..." Riku said and push them to their bags.

"Leave it to us...Update us later..." Kuu said and make a call sign.

"Hurry up and go!"

"Faster go before Sensei changed his mind..."

"You want to be punished?" Akimoto said when he heard one of his players said that.

Kai and Sae left after they thank the coaches and all the members of the basketball and volleyball club for their help.

- 2 hours later -

"Beeep"

"That's all for today...Thanks for the hard work everyone...Pack up and have a early rest." The volleyball coach said.

"Arigato Gozaimasu!"

Rena, Yuko and Rie started packing up.

"Here...Put the balls in here..." Girl A said as she bring the basket to Rena.

"Arigato..." Rena said and put the balls into the basket.

The volleyball girls are all helping to clean and tidy their training area. The basketball members were just dismissed from their practice
and were packing up too.


"They finally behaved like a team..." Kuu said as he look at the other court.

"Girls...Really like Acchan said...Nice or nasty..." Riku said.

"So which category your Yuko falls into?" Jun asked.

"Nice and tasty..." Riku said.

"Whats that?" Kuu asked.

"Her onigiri...The food she made is really nice and tasty..." Riku said.

"Seriously...That's disgusting..." Jun said.

"Gross..." Kuu said.

"I know you 2 are jealous...Its ok...I won't blame you..." Riku said as he pat on Kuu and Jun's shoulder.

"Get off me..." Kuu and Jun said and sweep away his hands from their shoulder.

"Hey!" Riku said.

Finally, all of them finished packing and started to go home.

"Riku-nyan!!!" Yuko said and jumped on Riku.

"How's practice? Are you tired?" Riku asked.

"Riku and Yuko...I am making a move first...Ja..." Kuu said and started to walk off.

"Hey wait up! Bye Riku..Bye Yuko...See you tomorrow!" Jun said and followed Kuu.

"Riku-nyan...What's wrong?" Yuko asked as she noticed Riku is looking at his friends sadly.

"I think I might have lost 2 friends...because I have a girlfriend..." Riku said sadly.

"Aww...Kawaii...I think you are over thinking...They must be tired with so many things happening today. Kuu and Jun didn't just walk off...
They said goodbye to you properly right?" Yuko said.

"Ahhh...I'm glad I have a girlfriend...Arigato Yuko..." Riku said and hugged Yuko.

"They are at it again...They seriously don't know when to stop..." Rie said as she look at Riku and Yuko.

Meanwhile, Rena is look at Jun who is walking out the court.

"He didn't say goodbye to me today..." Rena said in her mind.

"Senpai...Rena Senpai..." Rie called out.

"Mmm...Sorry...You were saying?" Rena asked.

"What are you looking at?" Rie asked.

"Huh...Nothing...Everything done?" Rena asked.

"Yupp...All the balls are in storage and rubbish cleared..." Rie said.

"We were able to finish early thanks to everyone..." Rena said.

"I'm glad that they returned back to normal..." Rie said.

ALONG AKIHABARA STREET

"Are you tired?" Yuki asked.

"Nope...Not at all..." Sae replied.

Sae is carrying Yuki on his back while Kai is carrying Acchan on his back. They wanted them to rest more so the guys insisted of
carrying them.


"Kai...You are too short...My legs are dragging on the floor...I think it would be better if I walk by myself..." Acchan said.

"Nonesense! Both of your legs are right beside my waist level...Don't ever think of getting down until we reach your house..." Kai retorted.

"But...Its embarrassing...Everyone is looking at us..." Acchan said.

"Let them see all they want...Your health is more important than their stares...I don't care!" Kai said.

"Mohhh..." Acchan said and hugged Kai's back tightly while she rest her head on his shoulder.

"If this were to be a drama...I would definitely change channel..." Sae said.

"Why? I think Kai is really sweet to Acchan..." Yuki said.

"You like something like that?" Sae asked.

"Hahaha! Sae...You are doooom~" Kai teased.

"Shut it! Continue your drama there...Don't come here..." Sae said.

"Sae is shy~ Look Kai! He is blushing~" Acchan teased.

"Shut it! I'm not!" Sae retorted.

"......" Yuki signed.

"Whats wrong?" Sae asked.

"I want to come down..." Yuki said.

"Why? You stay right on my back till you get home..." Sae said.

"But...I can't see your face here..." Yuki said.

"Wow...Bold..." Acchan said.

"Yuki...You should stop hanging out with Yuko...You are getting all the bad influences from her..." Kai teased.

"......" Sae is blushing.

Kai and Acchan looked at Sae. They decided to stop teasing before he gets really angry.

"Yuki...Actually...Why are you being locked in the trash house?" Sae asked.

- Flashback -

ALONG THE CLUB ROOM WALKWAY

Yuki is walking back to the music room after she finished using the washroom.

"Takahashi san..." A girl called out.

When Yuki turned around, she was covered by a sack by some girls. She tried to struggle but the girls were too strong. The girls then
carried her to the trash house and locked her there.


"Why are you doing this to me?" Yuki asked.

"Because we don't like you!"

"We hate girls like you...Always acting to be pitiful...Gross!"

"Let me out please!" Yuki begged.

"This place suits you the best...Stinker!"

"Hahahaha!"

"What have I done to deserve this...What wrong have I done..." Yuki cried out.

"Because you are always hogging on Miyazawa kun..."

"Acting as if you are his girlfriend..."

"I did not...We are just friends...Please let me out..." Yuki said.

"Friends? Just because your so call twin brother is his best friend so you can take Miyazawa kun's kindness as his weakness?"

"I did not...Me and Sae are childhood friends..."

"Childhood friends? So you 2 are not dating?"

"We really are friends....We are not in a relationship..." Yuki said.

The girls are discussing now. Thinking whether what Yuki said is true and what should they do next.

"Prove it to me then...If you and Miyazawa kun is really just childhood friends..."

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked.

"Tell us that you don't like him, then we will let you out..."

"Yah...Say it"

"Prove to us then..."

"I..." Yuki said.

"Well...Say it! If you want to come out..."

Yuki took in a deep breath.

"I LOVE MIYAZAWA SAE!" Yuki shouted.

Yuki rather stay locked inside the trash house then to deny her love towards Sae. The girls then left her alone there.

- End of Flashback -

"I'm really tired...Are we home soon?" Yuki asked, avoiding Sae's question.

"Yeah...Its just right in front..." Sae said.

Sae, Kai and Acchan decided not to asked anymore as they know Yuki must have her reasons. Thats why she does not want to tell them.

OUTSIDE KAI'S HOUSE

Tomonobu and Minami are waiting outside their house, waiting for Yuki to come back. Kai have informed them what happened and told them
he and Sae will be bringing her home when they wanted to go to their academy.


"Yukirin...Are you in pain? Are you hurt anywhere? Let Oka san give you a check up..." Minami said.

"Tou san and Oka san...I will come in later...I'm going to send Atsuko back first...Auntie Haruko is very worried about her..." Kai said.

Hearing that Kai will be coming into the house later, Tomonobu and Minami is overjoyed. It has been nearly 3 weeks that Kai left the house.
Occasionally they would see Kai when he walk the girls back home. But everytime he would think of all sorts of excuse to reject them when they
ask him to come into the house.


"Gomenasai...Uncle...Auntie...I did not take good care of Yukirin..." Acchan said sadly.

"It's not your fault Acchan...You have been doing us a big favor and we are really grateful for your help...Please continue to look after Yuki from
now on if you don't mind..." Tomonobu said.

"Acchan...Arigato...If it wasn't for you...Yukirin would missed out a lot of fun...Are you ok? Need me to help you have a quick look?" Minami asked.

When Acchan is young, Minami would help her check her body whenever she got a asthmatic attack as Acchan hates going to the hospital.

"I am ok Auntie...Arigato...Lucky Kai is there so everything is under control!" Acchan said cheerfully.

"If thats what you say...But don't hesitate to get me if you are feeling unwell..." Minami said.

"Can we go now?" Kai asked

"Opps...Sorry Uncle and Auntie...My ride is getting impatient...Goodbye..." Acchan said.

Kai then send Acchan home and they went back into the house.

AT KAI'S HOUSE

Minami accompany Yuki back to her room to rest while Tomonobu and Sae sat at the living room, waiting for Kai.

- Door open -

Kai walked in and took off his shoes.

"Okaerinasai Kai...." Tomonobu said.

"Ta..daima..." Kai said and walked to the living room.

"Oka san will be coming down shortly..." Tomonobu said.

The 3 guys sat down without exchanging any words. 3 weeks away from home, Kai feel that being back home is really great. Coming in
here makes him missed being home.


"Is Kai back?" Minami asked while walking down the stairs.

"Yes...He is here with us..." Tomonobu replied.

All of them sat down. Kai and Sae then tell them what happened and where they found Yuki.

"How can they be so cruel? Don't they have any empathy?" Minami said angrily.

"Calm down Minami...Luckily Yuki is alright with some scratches...Our daughter is a brave girl...Able to endure this..." Tomonobu said.

"Yes...She is very brave." Sae said.

"This is obviously a case of bullying...I am going to school tomorrow...I demand an answer and I want to know who did this to Yukirin!"
Minami said agitatedly.

"Oka san...I hope you can calm down and listen to me..." Kai said.

"Minami...Let's hear what Kai has to say first..." Tomonobu said.

"Oka san...I agreed with you that this is definitely a case of bully...But I disagree with you on demanding any investigation from the school..."
Kai said.

"Why? We can't let those people have their way and..." Minami said halfway and was stopped by Tomonobu.

"Let Kai finish first...There must be a reason..." Tomonobu said.

"Arigato Tou san...Oka san...I too...want to know who did this to Yuki...But I feel...Yuki doesn't want the matter to be blown up...So I
hope that Tou san and Oka san will let me investigate this on my own instead of getting the school involved..." Kai explained.

"Yes Uncle and Auntie...When we ask Yuki...She is not keen of revealing any details...I agree with Kai that she does not want the matter to
be blown up...I will also help Kai out so I hope you will trust us with this task..." Sae said.

"Are you sure that you can handle it all? Is there anything we can do?" Tomonobu asked.

"Tou san...Trust us...We can handle it...All you and Oka san have to do is to keep Yuki company and update us how she is...I think she is
exhausted, it would be better for her to rest at home..." Kai said.

"Wakarimashita...I will leave this to you, Kai...You must let me know once you find out anything..." Minami said.

Kai and Sae are surprised that Minami will agree to this easily.

"Hai! Leave it to me and Sae...Oka san..." Kai said.

"And Kai..." Minami said.

"Yes Oka san?" Kai said.

"Arigato...Yukirin said you found her...Like always...Arigato..." Minami said.

When Kai and Yuki are young, Yuki would always hide herself as she doesn't want to go to the hospital. Kai would always be the one who found
her and bring her back to their parents. Minami once asked Kai how was he able to do that and Kai said that he can feels Yuki's fear whenever
she is in trouble.


"It's getting late...Let's go back..." Sae said to Kai.

"Ok...Tou san and Oka san...Me and Sae are going to head back now..." Kai said.

Hearing that, Tomonobu and Minami is really sad. They did not ask Kai when he will be coming back home as they don't want to force him again.
Seeing his parents disappointed look, Kai decided.


"Is it...ok for me to move back here?" Kai asked.

"Kai..." Tomonobu and Minami brighten up upon Kai's words.

"Thats great! Finally I get my space back..." Sae said.

"Hey!" Kai retorted.

"HAHAHAHA" They all laughed at Kai's reaction.

Kai told his parents that he will only be able to move back his belongings over the weekends and then he went back to the apartment with Sae.

"Yokata ne...Kai has forgiven us..." Minami said.

"Minami...Since Kai is coming back...Should we tell them about it?" Tomonobu asked.

"Just a little while more, once I get the reports from Mayuyu...I don't want to burden them with such heavy news yet..." Minami said.

"Ok..." Tomonobu said and hugged Minami.

Chapter 21

THE NEXT DAY

At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 2-4 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

Kai messaged his friends to meet up early at school to help him investigate the incident that happened to Yuki yesterday.

"Is Yuki and Acchan ok?" Jun asked.

"Yes...But they will be resting at home for today..." Kai said.

"Great to know that both of them are fine..." Kuu said.

"That's right...How can we help?" Riku asked.

"We must not let them get away! How can they be so horrible!" Yuko said angrily.

"Shhh...We can't be letting others hear us..." Sae said.

They sat down to discuss but was not able to think of any good ideas.

"How are we suppose to find the culprits who did these to Yuki? There are so many students here... " Kai said.

"Hmmmm..." Yuko is thinking hard.

"We can't be asking around...They might be on alert if we happened to ask them since we have no idea who they are..." Jun said.

"Mmmm..." Yuko said.

"I don't think they have anything against the composing club since Acchan is fine all along..." Kuu said.

"Yuki is always hanging out with us...I don't see her making contact with other people. Then they must be against Yuki because of us......"
Riku said.

"SAE!" Yuko shouted.

"WHAT!" Sae is startled by Yuko's shout.

Hearing what Yuko said, they all looked at Sae and nodded in agreement.

"Why didn't I think of that...Sae has the higher possibility to be the cause of it..." Kai said.

"That's ridiculous!" Sae said.

"It's not...Ever since Riku is taken off the shelf...We are getting a lot more unwanted  attention than before..." Kuu said.

"We are getting 'molested' by the eyes of the girls everyday...Thinking of it makes me freak out..." Jun said.

"Hahaha...What's that...Getting 'molested' just by being looked at..." Yuko said.

"It's true Yuko...These girls don't get near you but always look at you...It's kind of scary..." Riku said.

"WHAT! So anybody still do that to you Riku-nyan? Grrrrr...." Yuko said agitatedly.

"Who dares to do that now? Your affection towards each other is so disgusting till the sight irks them..." Kai said.

"Really? Althrough I don't like our sweet relationship to be called disgusting...As long they get away from Riku-nyan its fine!"
Yuko said cheerfully and hugged Riku.

"Go else where please...That's disgusting..." Jun teased.

"I will forgive you...I know you are jealous..." Riku said.

"Enough of that...So what do we do now? I can't let them harm Yuki again...I will definitely protect her this time!" Sae said agitatedly.

Everyone looked at Sae. It's rare that Sae is so proactive. Kuu, Riku and Jun looked at Kai, wondering if what they are thinking is correct.
Kai nodded.


"Wow...Finally..." Kuu said.

"Yeah...Finally..." Jun said.

"What?" Sae asked.

"What else?" Everyone said as they tease Sae with a smirk look.

"Stop it! That is so creepy!" Sae said.

" Tell me tell me! What's going on?" Yuko asked.

"Stop it! We need to focus on the main issue here! Any ideas?" Sae said.

"Hmmm..." Kai wondered.

"Got an idea Kai?" Kuu asked.

"Don't do anything...Wait for them to find you...Since Acchan and Yuki are not coming to school today...These people sure will be anxious
to know whether Yuki say anything to us...So Sae...You will be alone today..." Kai said.

"I get it...As bait?" Sae asked and Kai nodded.

After that, they discussed their roles and responsibilities.

"Are you sure about this?" Sae asked.

"(Giggles) So thats why you are so proactive..." Yuko said.

"That's a great idea Kai...Good job!" Kuu said and showed his thumbs up.

"Definitely will be a success..." Jun said.

"That will definitely shun they away..." Riku said.

"Ok then..." Sae said.

- Lunch time -

Sae is having lunch alone at the school garden area while Kai and the others are monitoring through their classroom window.

"Kai...There..." Kuu said as he points at 3 girls that is behaving suspiciously near the fountain.

"Riku, any idea who they are?" Kai asked as he suspect the girls who treated Yuki this way is from Riku's past "fan club'.

"No...I don't remember seeing them..." Riku said.

"Hmm...1st years? Maybe they don't belong to Riku's but has always been Sae's all along..." Jun said.

"I think belonging to Sae's is higher possibility..." Kuu said.

"I think they look familiar..." Yuko said.

"Really? Please think carefully Yuko...You seen them somewhere?" Kai asked.

"AH! They are from next door...Class 2-3!" Yuko said.

"You sure? How did you know them?" Riku asked.

"Because...I thought...They were always looking at Riku-nyan...So I..confronted them and realized that actually they are not into
Riku-nyan...hehe..." Yuko said.

"Riku...You girlfriend is really scary...You better be careful..." Jun said.

"But thanks to Yuko's scariness, we got the clues we needed...Arigato Yuko...Your scariness is not so bad and I am glad to know a
scary friend..." Kai said.

"Hey! You just insulted my girlfriend 3 times in your sentence!" Riku said and knocked on Kai's head.

"Awww...Kawaii...Riku-nyan!!" Yuko said and jumped on Riku.

"Shhh...They are approaching the bait..." Kuu said and took out his cellphone.

SCHOOL GARDEN

"Miyazawa kun...Having lunch here today? Just you?"

"Yes...They are not in a good mood today..." Sae said.

"Why? Where is the others?"

"Just stuff...They are having lunch in class..." Sae said.

"Erm..."

"Something to ask me?"

"Is...Maeda san here today?"

"Are you looking for Acchan?"

"No...Just wondering because...I don't see her today...and her friend..."

Sae realized that one of the girls is panicking. He recognize these girls, they are from the class next to them as he have seen them
before. He suspect that they are the ones who locked Yuki and its unusual that they would be asking about Acchan.


"Something bad happened to them...Acchan's asthma relapse when she ran to look for Yuki...Yuki was beaten up and has 'serious' injury
on her body...They are at 'hospital'...Their parents have informed the 'police'...The 'police' are currently conducting an investigation...
Hope they can find out what happened soon..." Sae said, exaggerating the situation to scare them.

What Sae said made all of them panic right away.

"What! That is not possible!"

"She was fine when we locked her in!"

"We didn't hit her or anything! There shouldn't be any injuries!

"The police is going to find out...What should we do?"

"So YOU girls are behind it!" Sae said agitatedly.

"Miyazawa kun...We really didn't cause those injuries..."

"We just wanted to ask her some questions..."

"We did not expect things would turn out this way..."

"What questions do you have for her?" Sae asked angrily.

The girls told Sae everything that has happened.

"So...In the end, it was all because of me again..." Sae reprimanded himself in his mind.

"Miyazawa kun...Is Takahashi san injuries really serious?"

"What about Maeda san? Will she be ok?

"They are both ok..." Kai said.

The girls were shock to see Kai and the others. Kai and the others have been following up their conversation through Kuu's cellphone.
Kuu's job is to call Sae to alert him and then Sae will pick up the call without letting the girls notice.


"Its all recorded in here..." Kuu said as he and Sae flash out their cellphone.

"What you girls did is really horrible! If you want to fight, fight head on! Not using dirty tricks like this!" Yuko said angrily.

"Gomenasai!"

"We are really sorry!"

"We will go to the hospital to apologize and please don't tell the police!"

"Too late...The 'police' already know what you have done..." Kai said.

The girls break down and cried as they were really afraid.

"Yuki and Acchan are at home resting and...we are the 'police'..." Jun said, not wanting to scare them any further.

"Really?"

"Yes...The hospital Sae said is actually home and the police is us...We are investigating it ourselves... We will let it off this time
since both of them are alright...BUT...Don't ever do that again! Understand?" Kai said.

"We are really sorry!"

"I believe our Sae here has a VERY strong message to tell you girls..." Kai said as he elbowed Sae.

Everyone is really looking forward to this moment except the 3 girls. They have no idea what is going on.

"I, MIYAZAWA SAE LOVE TAKAHASHI YUKI!" Sae shouted as loud as he can.

Sae's love declaration was heard by most of the students since the garden is near the classrooms.

"Is that Miyazawa kun?"

"Seriously? Did he just confessed?"

"I am so jealous of that Takahashi girl..."

"Aww...Now the Akiba 5 is down to 2..."

At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 3-2 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

Rena heard Sae's confession towards Yuki. Instead of feeling sad, she actually felt relieved.

"Finally...He admitted..." Rena said and smiled while she look out the window.

After school, they went to practice as usual and then, all of them head to Kai's house to visit Yuki and Acchan.

At Kai's house

All of them are sitting at Kai's living room with his parents while Kai explained to his parents, Yuki and Acchan
( She was there to have their club activities continued inside Yuki's room ) what have they found out today.


"Yukirin...That's very brave of you..." Acchan said.

"I am so touched...You rather suffer than to give in! That's true love~" Yuko said.

However, Tomonobu and Minami is very worried about what they heard. Yuki loves Sae.

"Is it worth? Just because you...love Sae kun...You almost got your life in danger..." Minami said.

"Auntie...Gomenasai...It all started because of me...If you want to blame...Please put all the blame on me..." Sae said and bowed to Minami.
Seeking her forgiveness.

"Sae...We are not blaming Yuki...We are just worried...As you know...Yuki's condition can be...very complicated...We don't want her to
strain her body further...It's not easy...for Yuki..." Tomonobu said.

"Uncle...What do you mean?" Jun asked.

"In short...Uncle and Auntie...Are you against their relationship?" Kuu asked.

Everyone is shocked when Kuu said that. Tomonobu and Minami just looked away, avoiding Kuu's question.

"Otou san and Oka san...Are you really against us being together?" Yuki asked sadly.

"Uncle and Auntie! I am serious about Yuki. I will definitely protect her and I can assure you that this will never happen again!" Sae said.

"We are not doubting you...We just don't want to put you guys through this pain before its too late!" Tomonobu shouted.

"Tou san...What do you mean? Whats going to be late? Are you hiding something from us?" Kai asked seriously.

"I can't...I really can't...keep it anymore..." Tomonobu said as he looked at Minami and she decided to break the news to them since it
has come to this.

"Kai...The reason Oka san and Yukirin came back...is to unite with the family...before Yukirin goes for her heart transplant..." Minami said.

"Oka san! I thought I was fine all along...Why didn't I know this?" Yuki asked and started to cry. She is scare.

"Gomenasai...I didn't tell you this is because...It wasn't confirm yet...I have to run more test to check the stability of your status...This is a
major operation...I want to minimise the risk as much as possible..." Minami explained.

Everyone were stunned by the discovery. They were devastated by the news.

"When will the operation take place?" Kai asked.

"Within...6 months...From now on...Yukirin have to go to the hospital for check up regularly...Once we get a suitable transplant...We will
conduct the operation straight away..." Minami said.

Everyone kept quiet. The news came too sudden. They only have around 6 months to be with Yuki. Yuko and Acchan are crying as they
are scare of losing this wonderful friend.


"6 months..." Kai said and looked at Yuki sadly.

"Sae...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Yuki cried out.

Sae looked at Yuki. It pains him to see her crying and it pains him even more when the person he loves might disappear from
his life forever.


"Uncle and Auntie...Please allow me to continue to stay by Yuki's side!" Sae said.

"Sae...You don't have to do this...I'm used to being alone...I don't want you to be sad because of me...My life is ending soon...I want you
to carry on yours without me..." Yuki cried.

"I already regretted once and it took away 10 years from me...Now, I rather be sad than having regrets for the rest of my life if I leave
you now! I want to be with you even if its just 6 months, I want to spend all the time I have with you!" Sae said.

"Yuki...Please don't be used to being alone...This time, we will all face it together with you...We will be always with you..." Kai said as he teared.

"That's right...It's not the end yet...Auntie said that its within 6 months...So if everything goes smoothly...It means that...Yuki will have a new
lease of life...We can't lose hope like this..." Jun said.

"Yea...We shouldn't lose hope..." Riku said.

"Sae..." Yuki said and hugged Sae, crying in his arms.

"Sae kun...You don't have to do this...Its..." Minami said as she cried.

"Oka san...I believe that...If Sae is with Yuki...It will give Yuki more courage... " Kai said.

"Auntie...I believe thats what Yuki wants too...Please don't separate them..." Acchan pleaded.

"Oka san...I really like Sae very much..." Yuki said.

"Are you sure about this?" Tomonobu asked Sae.

"Yes uncle...I will never let Yuki go through this alone...I will be with her no matter what happens." Sae said and hold Yuki's hands tightly.

Tomonobu and Minami looked at each other. They don't know if they should continue to let Sae and Yuki be together as they don't want to
put Sae in a difficult situation.


"Miyazawa Sae! Remember what you just said and don't chicken out...If you ever break any your promise to Yuki...I will make sure you are de..."
Kai said and was interrupted.

"Kai! Don't be so rude! Sae kun...Please continue to take care of Yukirin..." Minami said and bowed down.

"Nice!" Kuu thought in his mind.

"Arigato Oka san...Arigato Otou san..." Yuki said.

That night, they asked Minami a lot of questions because they wanted to help out in any way they can. Minami is really happy for Yuki, having
so many good friends and someone who is willing to love her unconditionally. Seeing Yuki so happy, Minami cried.


"Aren't you glad? Yuki has made so many wonderful friends?" Tomonobu asked Minami.

"Yes...Anata...Arigato..." Minami said.

"Mmm...For?" Tomonobu asked.

"For Kai...These are Kai's friends who accept and treat Yukirin wholeheartedly as their friend...You have brought up our son well with so many
wonderful people around him...And Kai brought them to Yukirin...It's been such a long time that Yukirin is so happy...Arigato Anata..." Minami said.

"No..I have to thank you...For bearing me such wonderful kids. Arigato...It's been hard for you, Minami..." Tomonobu said and hold Minami's hands.

Hi! This chapter 22 will settle some relationship problems for the characters. Lets find out who are they!
Please enjoy Chapter 22A :cathappy:

Chapter 22A
For the next few days, Acchan and Yuki went back to school as per normal. However, Jun and Kuu's life has changed. Ever since Sae
made a public confession, the number of girls adoring Jun and Kuu has increased tremendously.


Finally the day where Kai is moving back to the Takahashi household has come. Kai moved back with Riku, Kuu, Jun, Yuko and Acchan's
help as his parents and Sae are accompanying Yuki for a body check up at the hospital.


At Kai's house

"Finally...You are moving back. And finally, a off day from school and practice...Most importantly, those girls..." Jun said.

"But sadly...You guys have to come and help me move my things back from Sae's apartment..." Kai said.

"We moved your things there...So we also have the responsibility to move them back..." Kuu said.

"Arigato...I really appreciate the help you all have given me..." Kai said.

"Nah...We just did whatever that is within our means...Anyway...What is taking them so long?" Riku asked impatiently.

"Ri...Ku...Nyan~" Yuko said loudly as she walk up the stairs with Acchan.

"Wow...Just when you were asking about them..." Kuu said.

"Here's the onigiri!" Yuko said and ran to serve Riku first.

"Kai...Have a drink..." Acchan said and walked to serve Kai first.

Kuu and Jun looked at each other.

"We shouldn't have come here..." Jun said.

"Yah...We are like light bulbs here...Let's go that corner...It's darker there...We can balance the lighting..." Kuu said as he points to the
corner of Kai's bedroom.

"Ok..." Jun said.

"Hey! Stop that...You can have this first..." Riku said and pass his onigiri to Kuu.

"You must be very thirsty!" Kai said and pass his drink to Jun.

Kuu and Jun looked at them.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"It's never dull being with you guys..." Jun said while he laughs.

"Seriously...Just can't get enough of this..." Kuu said.

"Many things has happened...But I am really glad to have guys by my side..." Kai said.

"Me too..." Riku, Kuu and Jun said.

"Oh right...Oka san want me to ask you guys...Are you guys staying for dinner?" Kai asked.

"Gomen...Not tonight..." Riku said.

"Riku-nyan not staying...Yuko not staying..." Yuko said.

"Me too..." Kuu said.

"No for me too..." Jun said.

"Ok...Next time then..." Kai said.

They rejected because they don't want to spoil Kai's family gathering after so long. After they finished helping Kai, they returned back home.

That night, Kai and his family had a wonderful and peaceful dinner with Acchan and Sae. However, not all his friends did.


At Kuu's house

- Door open -

"Pant"

Kuu ran up to his room as fast as he could when he see a pair of high heels.

"Yo!" Mariko said as she see Kuu enters his bedroom.

"(Pant)...Wh..." Kuu said.

"What am I doing here? As you can see, I am playing games..." Mariko said as she wave the controller.

"No...I mean...Where have you been these past few weeks?" Kuu asked.

"Oh that...Bridal shoots..." Mariko said.

"With Kukai?" Kuu asked.

"Mmmm...Who else..." Mariko replied.

"NO! You are not suppose to marry him! You are already married to me!" Kuu blurted out.

Just then, Kuu's mother who heard what he just said was shocked. Kumi went after Kuu because she wanted to tell him dinner is ready.
But Kuu just ran up the stairs without noticing her.


"What on earth are you talking about? Mari chan is your brother's girlfriend! Are you out of your mind!" Kumi shouted.

"No! I am serious! I love Mariko! I love Shinoda Mariko!" Kuu shouted.

"HAHAHAHAHA" Kukai laughed as he came out from his bedroom. He heard everything Kuu said.

"Kukai! Are you insane! Kuu said Mari chan is married to him! Just what is going here? This is not a funny matter!" Kumi said agitatedly.

"Gomen..Gomen...My tummy really hurts..." Kukai said while trying to hold his laugh.

"Is this your doing?" Mariko asked Kukai.

"Who else? Aren't you happy to finally hear that from Kuu?" Kukai asked.

"What...are you talking about?" Kuu asked.

"Hahaha...Let's talk over dinner...I have something important to announce to Oka san and Otou san..." Kukai said and walked down the stairs.

Kuu's house dining area

"Itadakimasu!"

Kukai starts to dig in while his mother stares at him.

"Kumi...What's wrong?" Takashi asked.

"Ask your sons!" Kumi said angrily.

Takashi put down his rice bowl and looked at his 2 sons. Wanting to get an explanation on why Kumi is so angry.

"Otou san...I like Mariko." Kuu said seriously.

"I laughed...That's why Oka san is angry with me..." Kukai said.

"Serious?...Then who does Mari chan likes?" Takashi asked.

"Kuu..." Mariko said and smiled at Kuu. Kuu is really happy to hear that from Mariko.

"Mari chan! What are you saying? Aren't you and Kukai dating?" Kumi asked. She is shocked.

"Oka san...Otou san...Gomenasai! Actually the ring that Mariko wears...Is bought by me...Not Kukai..." Kuu said.

"You finally admitted..." Mariko said.

"Kukai! Is that true? Why did you claim that you are the one who gave Mari chan the ring?" Kumi asked agitatedly.

"Well...Actually..." Kukai said and starts to explain what happened 2 years ago.

- Flashback -

( 2 years ago when Kuu's final year as a middle school student )

At Kuu's bedroom

Mariko found a pink box on the game station addressed to her. She open the box and found the ring that she and Kuu saw few days ago at
the shopping district. She carefully took out the ring and put it into her ring finger.


"Mari...The schedule..." Kukai said and stop halfway when he saw Mariko is admiring the ring on her finger.

"Is that ring from Kuu?" Kukai asked.

"Kukai...Gomen...I didn't realize you were there..." Mariko said as she quickly hide the ring.

"Nice ring...From Kuu?" Kukai asked again.

"Hai..." Mariko replied.

"Seriously...Are the 2 of you dating?" Kukai asked.

"No..We are not...yet...I confessed to him before...But he didn't say anything..." Mariko said sadly.

"Mariko...Kuu is still a child...You should not take him seriously..." Kukai said.

"No...I believe he is serious about me...If not, he would not get me this ring...This is the prove that he feels the same as I do..."
Mariko rebuke.

"But he did not tell you that he loves you...This maybe a gift to thank you or for a big sister he respect...He is still a middle school student...
He is too young to give you any promises..." Kukai said.

What Kukai said makes sense to Mariko. She is now confused.

"But...I...What should I do?" Mariko asked.

"Let's test him then...Wear that ring to dinner later...See what he would say if my parents ask about it..." Kukai said.

Knowing Kumi likes accessories very much, noticing this unique design ring is not difficult.

- End of flashback -

"Since Otou san and Oka san thought that ring is bought by me...I said that Mari is my girlfriend to further test on Kuu..." Kukai said.

"Then why did Mari agree too?" Kumi asked.

"I am disappointed with Kuu that time...I was just saying it out of spite...Gomenasai..." Mariko said.

"So Kukai and Mari never start dating?" Takashi asked.

"Hahaha! How to start when we were never in love with each other in the first place..." Kukai said.

"Kukai say we should continue the act until the day I give up on Kuu...So I just go along with it...Gomenasai..." Mariko said.

"Kukai-nii..." Kuu said.

"Wow...Its been such a long time since I hear that...I'm glad you finally come out from your shell...My efforts are not gone to waste..."
Kukai said with a smile.

"What are you saying?" Kumi asked.

"Oh...I told Kuu that I proposed to Mari..." Kukai said.

"Hahaha...No wonder Kuu is so agitated when he heard I went for bridal shoots with you..." Mariko said with a laugh.

"This is confusing...You like Kuu but you are going to marry Kukai even through you don't like him...What is going on here?" Takashi asked.

"I am against this marriage! Mariko is already married to me!" Kuu said and hold Mariko's hand up, flashing the ring he gave her.

"Kuu..." Mariko said as she looked at Kuu.

"I am fainting..." Kumi said.

"Hahaha...The Mari I am going to get married to is not Mariko...Its Marina...She is also a model from my company...That girl you saw
that time Kuu..." Kukai explained.

"I was there for the bridal shoots because I am the bridesmaid...Marina is my best friend..." Mariko said.

"So you are not marrying Kukai?" Kuu asked to reconfirm again.

"I said before...Whoever get this ring for me...I will marry him...So...I am already married to you long ago..." Mariko said.

"Looks like everything is cleared up! I can get married happily now..." Kukai said.

"Wait...Not yet...Mari chan...Are you serious? Kuu is still a high school student...Its..." Kumi said.

"I know its hard to accept...But Auntie...I really love Kuu and I am very serious...Please allow me to be with Kuu..." Mariko said.

"Oka san...I was childish and immature then...Thats why I ran away...But now...I am really serious when I said that I like Mariko and
 I want to be with her...I am not going to let myself regret again...Even if Oka san and Otou san disagree...I will not give up until you
 accept us..." Kuu said seriously.

Takashi and Kumi is touched by Kuu's words as they can feel that it was full of sincerity.

"Kuu has really matured alot and I believe he meant what he says...Oka san you said before you want Mari as your daughter...I am
not the 1 who can fulfil it...Kuu is the one..." Kukai said.

"This is too sudden...I will let Otou san decide...I might need some pain killers..." Kumi said.

"I have no objections as long I get to eat Mari chan's curry..." Takashi said as he winked at Kuu.

"Otou san!" Kumi said and slapped his back. She is not happy with Takashi's reasons.

"Ouch! Of course I think they are really serious about each other...I was just kidding about the curry..." Takashi said.

"This is too sudden... I need time to adjust myself...Mari chan is Kuu's girlfriend...Not Kukai's..." Kumi said.

"Arigato Otou san and Oka san!" Kuu said.

"Arigato Uncle and Auntie..." Mariko said.

"Mohh...Mari chan...Please take care of Kuu like always...And Kuu...You better be serious about Mari chan...Don't give me such
a surprise again..." Kumi said.

"So you don't disagree us being together?" Kuu asked.

"What more can we say...Even if I disagree, you would still act on your on and I really want Mari chan to be our daughter..." Kumi said.

"Arigato...Auntie..." Mariko said.

"Well...Let's eat while we hear more about Mari...na chan...Kukai...You are serious right?" Takashi asked.

At Kuu's bedroom

After dinner, Kuu and Mariko came up to rest while Kukai is discussing his marriage plans with his parents.

"I'm so tired..." Kuu said as he throws himself to the bed.

"You sound like an old man..." Mariko said.

"Just nice for you...OLD lady..." Kuu said.

"Hey! What's the meaning of that!" Mariko said and jumped on Kuu.

"Ouch!" Kuu cried out.

"Serve you right!" Mariko said.

Kuu can't believe that Mariko is right before his eyes as his girlfriend. They wouldn't have to go through such a long and pain process if it
wasn't for his cowardly acts and childishness.


"Yeah...I deserve it...Gomen...I was such a coward...Arigato...For loving me as I am..." Kuu said.

Tears starts to flow down on Mariko's eyes.

"Baka Kuu...I hate you...I waited so long...I wanted to give up but I can't...I am scare to see you with someone else...I..." Mariko said and
was stopped by Kuu's sudden kiss.

"This ring on your hand is my love for you...I told myself, until the day you take it out...I would never ever stop loving you..." Kuu said.

"So you mean if I took it out you will stop loving me?" Mariko asked and pinched Kuu's face.

"Ouch...Ouch...Well...Because you are Kukai's girlfriend then...So I thought of that as a reason...But I knew you would never take it out...
I just knew and I don't know why..." Kuu said.

"You are so evil...Giving me a 'cursed' ring..." Mariko said.

"I'm glad that the 'curse' works...Because it bring you back to me..." Kuu said and kissed Mariko again.

At Jun's house

"Tadaima..." Jun said.

"Okaerinasai  Jun sama" Yoshida said. Yoshida is Matsui  house keeper.

"Jun sama is back so early today...Have you eaten?" Yoshida asked.

"I'm tired so I came back early...Please help me prepare a light dinner..." Jun said.

"Certainly...I will get the dinner prepared right away." Yoshida said.

"Where's Otou san and Oka san? Any message from them?" Jun asked.

"They are still at the meeting and will be back late. Jun sama, Master have some files that requires your opinion, I have already left it
on your table." Yoshida said.

"Arigato...I will take a look after dinner." Jun said.

After dinner, Jun starts to study the files his father gave him. Being the only heir in his family, he was introduce to his family's medical
empire bit by bit from young.


"There's so many...Where should I start?" Jun said as he spread the files.

Jun read through the details stated inside the files carefully. He then make his own notes to compare the pros and cons so that its easier for
him to discuss with his father.


"Medical Institute of America? Their curriculum looks interesting...Maybe I should consider this..." "Jun said.

Jun put a label on that file to signify it as important, then he continue to read the other files.

AT KOJIMA RESIDENCES

"Tadaima..." Riku said.

"Okaerinasai  Riku sama...Master and Madam are waiting for you at the dining area." Noro said.

While he is taking out his shoes, he saw shoes that is obviously not his parents. Plus, It's rare to see his parents at home so early. So he knew
there were guests in his house.


"Who else is there?" Riku asked.

"Riku sama...It's the future in-laws of Kojima." Noro said.

"Damn! Why wasn't I told before this?" Riku asked.

"Master said to keep it as low profile as possible." Noro replied.

"Is Riku san back?" Himiko asked as she walk towards the door entrance of the house.

"Oka sama.." Riku said coldly.

"Noro san...Didn't Kazuto san instructed you to bring Riku san to the dining room as soon as he reach home?" Himiko asked.

"My deepest apologist Madam...Riku sama was asking me some questions...I will bring him there right away." Noro said.

Riku is staring hard at Noro. He hates his butler because he doesn't help him at all. To him, Noro is more like a spy sent by his father to
check on him.


"It's ok. Since I'm here, I will walk there with Riku san." Himiko said.

AT THE DINING ROOM

Riku and Himiko walked into the dining room. Kazuto is chatting happily with the guests and they stopped once they see Riku and Himiko.

"Riku...Meet Ryusei san and Ayumi san. They are our future in-laws." Kazuto said.

"It's my pleasure meeting you two...I am Kojima Riku." Riku said and bowed to them.

"My my...Kazuto san and Himiko san...Your son is such a fine young man...I'm glad our musume is engaged to Riku san." Ayumi said.

"Indeed, It's definitely our musume's fortune." Ryusei said.

"Hahahahaha"

"So fake..." Riku said softly.

"Riku san, did you say something?" Himiko asked as she stare at him.

"Oh...I was wondering...Are we missing someone here?" Riku asked as he realize his so called fiancee is not at the table.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..." A girl voice can be heard behind Riku.

@mgxx: Haha! The answer will be revealed here! :cathappy:

@Claito: Read the part B to know the answer :thumbsup

Who is Riku's fiancee? Will Riku and Yuko be together? Here's Chapter 22B!

Chapter 22B

AT THE DINING ROOM

Riku tried to calm himself down upon hearing the girl's greeting.

"I want to be with Yuko...I want to be with Yuko...I will definitely reject this marriage...I will definitely reject this marriage!"
Riku closed his eyes and chants in his mind, hoping that would give him the courage to annul the engagement.

"Riku san...Riku san...Are you alright?" Himiko asked.

Startled by Himiko's called out, Riku was shaken out from his chant.

"Ah...Yea...I mean Yes, Oka sama." Riku replied.

"Tidy yourself please Riku san..." Himiko said.

Riku tried to hold his composure and stood up, getting himself ready to greet Ryusei and Ayumi's daughter.

"Riku san, sorry for the late introduction. Meet our musume, Yuko." Ayumi said.

"Yuko, this fine young man here is Riku san." Ryusei said.

"Yuko?" Riku said and quickly look up front.

Standing in front of him is Yuko. Oshima Yuko. The true identity of his fiancee is revealed. It is his girlfriend.

"Why...Why are you here?" Riku asked. He is really shock.

"Gomenasai...Let me introduce myself again. I am Oshima Yuko. Your fiancee." Yuko said and bowed.

"What's going on here? What are you talking about? You mean you knew it all along and you didn't tell me?" Riku asked.

"Riku-nyan! Gomenasai...Gomenasai... I have been waiting for a chance to tell you and so I asked Uncle Kazuto not to mention
a word to you..." Yuko said.

"How could you! Of all people...Why did you deceive me?" Riku asked angrily.

"Riku...Stop your nonesense and sit down. They are our guests so mind your language! We can save the questions later." Kazuto said.

"Otou san...So knew about us...You knew everything and you don't even bother to tell me? Do you know how scared I am when I think
of what schemes you might be doing to the people I love?" Riku asked.

"Riku san! What you talking about? How could you say that about your Otou san! Kazuto san would never do such things!" Himiko rebuked.

"Oka sama...What do you mean? So you knew everything too? Then you should know it better! What Otou san did to Mayumi! He caused
Mayumi to disappear just because he wants me to get engaged!" Riku shouted.

"Riku-nyan! Uncle Kazuto did not do anything to Mayumi!" Yuko said.

"What? How did you know? You weren't even there!" Riku retort.

Yuko was stuck. She didn't know where should she start from. Seeing that, Ayumi decided to help Yuko.

"Please allow me to explain, Riku san. I am Ikoma Ayumi. My daughter is Ikoma Mayumi. After I got married to Ryusei san, my daughter's
name is changed to Oshima Yuko." Ayumi said.

"What? Mayumi is Yuko? Are we in a drama? Is this a hidden camera? This is ridiculous!" Riku said. He can't believe what he just heard.

"Gomenasai...I'm sorry if our family circumstances have confused you. Many years back, I broke up with Ryusei san and went to Tokyo alone.
I didn't know that I was already pregnant with Ryusei san's child. Without telling Ryusei san, I kept the child and named her under my family name."
Ayumi explained.

Ryusei looked at Ayumi and nodded in agreement. Then he looked at Riku and tried to explain more.

"I didn't know I have a daughter until I met Ayumi san again. She then told me we have a daughter who is a sixth grader. Just then, Kazuto san
suggested the engagement after knowing that I have a daughter around his son's age. As I wanted to unite our family, I got married with Ayumi san
and we moved back to Hokkaido. After our move, we discussed this with Yuko and she agreed to the engagement." Ryusei said.

"What's the meaning of this...So all along I have misunderstood Otou san...Otou san did not do anything to Mayumi? What is going on...Are you all
 treating me like a fool? A toy? You think its funny?" Riku shouted as he felt cheated.

"Calm down Riku...You are not totally wrong. I did have the intention to get Mayumi away from you. But definitely not the kind of extreme way
 that you have imagined. All I asked Noro was to go talk to the girl's family. It just happened that she is your fiancee after Noro met up with her
parents. Then they moved away like what Ryusei san said." Kazuto explained.

"Riku-nyan...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Yuko cried out.

Looking at Yuko, Riku suddenly felt that Yuko is like a stranger. He can't believe after what they went through together, Yuko is actually the
fiancee that he always wanted to get rid off. Thinking of that, Riku cannot contain his emotions anymore.


"Liars...ALL OF YOU ARE LIARS!!" Riku said and ran out of his house.

"Riku san!"

"Riku-nyan!" Yuko shouted and ran after him.

"Noro! Go after Riku and bring him back now!" Kazuto instructed.

"Yes Master!" Noro said and joined in the chase.

While Yuko is chasing Riku, she tripped and fall.

"Ahhh...." Yuko yelled.

"Pak"

Riku heard Yuko's yell and stopped. Seeing Yuko fall, he wanted to go back and help Yuko but his pride told him not to. After struggling
for awhile, he continued to run away from Yuko.


"Riku-nyan...Please don't go...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Yuko cried out while trying to reach out to the disappearing running figure in
front of her.

Yuko tried to stand up to run after Riku again. But the cut on her legs is too painful for her to continue the chase. Yuko cried loudly and her
cries attracted the onlookers attention.


"Did she have a fall?"

"What happened?"

"Should we go and help her?"

"Must have been ditched...I saw her boyfriend ran off..."

"RIKU-NYAN! YOU CHEATER! YOU SAID YOU WILL ALWAYS BE BY MY SIDE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!" Yuko shouted.

"So that guy who ran off is two-timing? What a jerk!"

"Poor thing..."

The onlookers starts to crowd around Yuko as she cried louder and louder.

"Hey! Please move aside! Let me through! Let her have some air! Emergency!"

Suddenly, someone carried Yuko up in a princess style. Yuko was shocked and quickly looked up. It was Riku.

"Ri..(sniff) ku-nyan...I thought...(sniff)...you (sniff)...don't want...(sniff) me anymore..." Yuko said.

"BAKA...Shut it and don't say anymore..." Riku said.

AT AKIBAHARA PARK

Riku carried Yuko to the park and sat down at the usual bench they always sit whenever they are here.

"It's going to sting a little...Bear with it..." Riku said and apply antiseptic solution to clean Yuko's cuts on her legs.

"MMMMM...." Yuko cried while trying to hold her pain.

After cleaning Yuko's wound, Riku helped her dress up her wounds.

"There...its done! Are you still in pain?" Riku asked.

"Mmmm..." Yuko said.

"That's all? Not going to ask me why did I come back?" Riku asked.

"Mmmm..." Yuko.

"Ok...You look fine now and since you are not going to talk to me...I'm leaving!" Riku said and stood up, acting to walk away.

"NO! DON'T GO!" Yuko shouted.

"Oh...So you can actually speak?" Riku teased and turned back to sit down beside Yuko.

"You...told me to shut up and don't say anymore...So I don't dare to say anything..." Yuko said softly.

"Silly girl..." Riku said and knocked on Yuko's head.

"I thought you don't want me...Why are you back?" Yuko asked as she rubs her head.

"Did I say that?" Riku asked back.

"But you ran away even through I fall down and asked you not to..." Yuko said.

"Oh that...Your wounds all clean up right? How was I able to do so if I don't go to the pharmacy?" Riku said.

Yuko started to cry again.

"What's wrong? Did I hit you hard? Is it very painful?" Riku asked worriedly.

"Riku-nyan...I thought you are very angry with me...Why are you being so nice to me? Is that your way to break up with me?
I don't want to break up with Riku-nyan...I want to be your girlfriend...your wife forever...Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Yuko cried out.

"Who says I am not angry with you? I am just not very angry with you as I know that you are Mayumi from Kuu..." Riku said.

"What do you mean?" Yuko asked as she wiped her tears.

"You see...I am curious about you so I got Kuu to help me find out...He got some relatives at Hokkaido so they helped me...From the
informations Kuu gave me...I know that you are Mayumi and your family circumstances...Just like what Ayumi san said..." Riku said.

"You checked on me?" Yuko asked.

"Gomen! It's not that I don't trust you...I just got the feeling that you might be Mayumi...If you are, I do not want you to disappear
from me again..." Riku said as he clapped his hands to seek forgiveness.

"No...I am the person who is not honest here...I have no right to blame you...But I don't understand..If you know who I am...Why didn't
you verify with me?" Yuko asked.

"Well...I don't know what you are up to...So I decided to go along with it...With that being said, I am toying around...I know you are serious
about me and so do I...I was waiting for you to tell me the truth...The fiancee is you was really unexpected through..." Riku explained.

Yuko was really happy about what she heard. She is also glad that Riku is accepting her even when she hide her true identity from him.

"You know...I was trying hard to be the perfect person you wanted...That's why I decided not to tell you anything until you actually tells me
that you likes me..." Yuko said.

"What perfect person are you talking about? Did I say that?" Riku asked.

"Yes...When you rejected Mayumi...You said that you want a girlfriend who is confident, smart and pretty...So I am working really hard to be
 recognized by you, loved by you..." Yuko said.

"I said that because I don't want Mayumi to be harmed...Well..I thought she is going to get harmed by Otou san..." Riku said.

"After you told me about your past...I mean our past...Plus the fact that I am your fiancee...I really have no idea where to start from..."
Yuko said.

"I see...I have a question...After I said those hurtful things, why are you still willing to agree to the engagement?" Riku asked.

"Because...I really love you...I believe that I can change to the person you like...So I agreed to the engagement with a condition to Uncle Kazuto..."
 Yuko said.

"Arigato Yuko, for loving me so much that you are willing to change and forgive for me...Anyway, What condition did you proposed?" Riku asked.

"I asked Uncle Kazuto and Auntie Himiko not to mention anything about me to you and I will agree if they keep it low profile...I want to make
you like me and accept me as Oshima Yuko, not because I am your fiancee..." Yuko said.

"No wonder...It's rare that my parents would actually keep such a low profile...But what if...I reject you?" Riku asked.

"I will...ask the engagement to be break off...Riku-nyan...I will never force you to do the things you don't like..." Yuko said sadly.

"Silly girl...The engagement will go as planned...There's no way I can leave you now after knowing that you are my first and will definitely be
the last person I love..." Riku said and pull Yuko into his arms. Hugging her tightly.

"Riku-nyan...Gomen...I really love you very much...Gomenasai...I don't mean to lie to you...I'm really scare...really scare of losing you..."
Yuko cried out.

"I know and fully understand now...You really have me freaked out when I see you at my house..." Riku said.

"I also don't know I will be introduced to your family today...My parents only told me that we are invited to have dinner at their friend's house...
I was so shocked when I see you there..." Yuko said.

"It must be my Otou san's evil doings again..." Riku said.

"Riku-nyan...I thought it's over between us when you behave so agitatedly that made you to run out of your house..." Yuko said.

"Well...I just want to get out from there...Eating dinner with my parents is really boring..." Riku said.

"Mohh Riku-nyan..." Yuko said.

"Yuko...Don't you find how we met each other fascinating?" Riku asked.

"What do you mean?" Yuko asked.

"When I first met you here, I had a fall and you helped me cleaned my wound...After so many years, it's me who helped you clean your
wound when you have a fall..." Riku said with a laugh.

"That's right! Why didn't I think so that? We are totally meant for each other!" Yuko said.

"After going through so much, it seems we are back to square again..." Riku said.

"Are you having regrets meeting me?" Yuko asked sadly.

"Of course not! The only regrets I have is not being able to tell you how much I love you then...So now, I will love you more than ever!"
Riku said and kissed Yuko's forehead.

"I love you too Riku-nyan..." Yuko said and kissed Riku.

As they kissed, Riku and Yuko felt their love is stronger than ever. They are able to love openly without any fear of objections and nobody
can ever break them up again.


"Riku-nyan~ What do we do now?" Yuko asked.

"We will go have dinner elsewhere by ourselves...I am very hungry..." Riku said.

"But shouldn't we at least inform our parents first Riku-nyan?" Yuko asked.

"Easy!" Riku said and smiled.

Riku released his hug. He stood up and took in a deep breathe.

"NORO! TELL OTOU SAN AND OKA SAN I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK FOR DINNER! I AM GOING ON A DATE WITH MY FIANCEE!" Riku shouted.

SOMEWHERE AT AKIBAHARA PARK

"Riku said that?" Kazuto asked. 

"Yes Kazuto sama..." Noro replied.

"Ok. You can leave now." Kazuto said.

"Yes Sir." Noro said and the call ended.

Noro then left the park as instructed by Riku's father.

Yuki is pretty much waiting to get a heart...

Hope she can get one before her expiring date

Next... would be Atsuko and Kai... follow by Rena and Jun

Chapter 23

At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 2-4 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

"Ohayo..." Jun greeted.   

"Hey what's wrong?" Kai asked as Jun looks very tired.

"Been reading reports tasked by Otou san...My eye lids are sagging down soon..." Jun said as he rest him head on his table.

"Wow..Serious? Need some coffee?" Kuu asked.

"Or some energy drinks? I have it here with me..." Sae said as he offer some to Jun.

"It's ok...Just let me rest a while...I hope there are free periods today..." Jun said.

"Ding dong"

"Class is starting...Catch up later..." Kai said and went back to his seat.

"Ok..." Jun said.

10 minutes has passed but the teacher is still not in class. The class iinchou then went to the staff room to check.

"Class! Sensei is having a cold and won't be attending classes...She say we are free to use her free periods to conduct any activities
we want...." The class iinchou said.   

"YAY BANZAI" Their classmates cheered.

"Let's go kick soccer!"

"Let's go get some food at the canteen!"

"I want to go to the library!"

With that said, everybody left the classroom except for Kai and his friends.

"This is unbelievable! Your wish came true...Do you have a magic genie with you or something?" Riku asked.

"It's just a coincidence! I really need to get some rest...Wake me up when its lunch time..." Jun said and starts to sleep.

"Oh ok...So what do we do? Basketball?" Kai asked.

"Disagree...We should save our energy...We have practice after school..." Sae said as he look at Jun.

"What do you girls have in mind?" Kai asked.

"How about coming to the music room?" Yuki said.

"That's a good idea! I want to hear your songs! Let me hear you sing!" Yuko said.

"Erm...I am not ready yet..." Acchan said as she is not confident.

"Agree...Let's go then..." Kai said and left with Acchan's guitar.

"Hey! Give me back my guitar!" Acchan said and went after Kai.

They all left to the music room, leaving the Jun who is sleeping behind.

AT THE MUSIC ROOM

"I really can't do this...this is so embarrassing!" Acchan said.

"Come on! We are helping you out now...If you are embarrassed now...What about the actual day when you have to sing in
front the audiences?" Riku asked.

"Just do it like you always do Acchan!" Yuki said.

"Sing sing sing! I want to hear your singing! Onegai..." Yuko said.

Everyone is trying very hard to encourage Acchan but she is just too nervous and is not confident in her singing.

"Kokoro no katasumi
Flower
Chiisana hana ga saita
Ano hi no negai wa
Yukkuri to
Hinata no naka saita..."

In the corner of my heart
Flower
A little flower bloomed
My wish from that day
Slowly
Bloomed in the sun

(Lyrics taken from http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html (http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html))

Everyone looked at Kai as he sings.

"Eh...Did I get the tune and lyrics correct? Atsuko, did I remember it correctly?" Kai asked.

"Mohhh...It sounds very very bad when you sing it...Too manly! I almost could't recognize this song!" Acchan retorted.

"Then can you demostrate? I really like your songs...Your voice...Will you please?" Kai said and smiled at Acchan.

Not able to reject Kai's request, Acchan took a deep breathe and begin to sing.

"Kokoro no katasumi
Flower
Chiisana hana ga saita
Ano hi no negai wa
Yukkuri to
Hinata no naka saita
Sore wa nagai michinori
Kaze ni fukarete
Ame ni utareta
Ima dekiru koto dake wo
Tada shoujiki ni
Shinji tsudzuketa..."

In the corner of my heart
Flower
A little flower bloomed
My wish from that day
Slowly
Bloomed in the sun
It’s been a long road
I’ve been buffeted by the wind
Lashed by the rain
And all I could do
Was stay true to myself
And believe in my abilities

(Lyrics taken from http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html (http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html))

"Riku-nyan~ Isn't it beautiful..." Yuko said as she hugged Riku.

"Hai...It's like talking about us..." Riku said and kissed Yuko's forehead.

"Hey...The 2 of you...Don't spoil the imaginary of this song..." Sae said.

"Its a really well written song...The lyrics is very Acchan..." Kuu said.

"I will never get tired of listening to it...Acchan really has a very sweet voice..." Yuki said.

"Atsuko is really talented...No doubt about it..." Kai said as he looks at Acchan.

Everyone clapped when Acchan finished singing her song.

"I'm your fan! Acchan!" Yuko shouted.

"I will definitely buy your CD!" Riku said.

"Hahaha...I don't have a CD to sell..." Acchan said.

"This is a really good song Acchan!" Sae said.

"Isn't that great Acchan? I told you everyone will love it!" Yuki said.

"You will definitely get through the next round!" Kuu said.

"NO!" Kai said.

Everyone looked at Kai. They are wondering they he meant by 'NO'.

"Hey Kai...What do you mean?" Riku asked.

"Is there something wrong with the way I sing it or is it about the tune?" Acchan asked seriously.

"No...They are the best!" Kai said.

"Then what's wrong?" Yuki asked.

"Not just getting through...She will definitely WIN the competition...CHAMPION!" Kai said.

"I thought it was something else...Complete your sentence please!" Acchan said.

"Hahahahaha"

"So when is the 2nd audition round?" Yuko asked.

"Actually..." Acchan pondered.

"When is it? When is it?" Yuko asked excitedly.

"It's this Saturaday! Acchan is scheduled to perform in the afternoon!" Yuki said.

Everybody is shocked by the sudden announcement.

"That's really fast! Do your best Acchan!" Riku said.

"Atsuko! Why didn't you tell me?" Kai asked.

"Well...You might have practice that day...So I..." Acchan said.

"I will definitely be there." Kai said.

Acchan looked at Kai upon hearing that. She is very happy and displayed a wide smile.

"Don't worry Acchan, we will make sure that KAI is there..." Kuu said.

"Even Akimoto Sensei can't stop him if KAI wants to be there..." Riku said.

"Who says I want to see Kai...I want to see everybody there!" Acchan said as she blushed.

"Hear that? Acchan wants to see us there and not you..." Kuu said.

"Kai you can count on us...We will cheer your part for Acchan..." Sae said.

"Hey! You really don't want me to come cheer for you?" Kai asked.

"Hmm...You can come if there are extra seats available..." Acchan said.

"Thats mean! But I will still come even if you don't let me!" Kai said.

"Kai...You are so sweet to Acchan..." Yuko said.

"Hey! What is that suppose to mean!" Riku retorted.

"Aww...Kawaii...Riku-nyan of course is the SWEETEST!" Yuko said and hugged Riku tightly.

"Please stop! The ants are coming..." Sae said.

"Sae...Don't be so mean...Don't you think Riku and Yuko are so sweet together?" Yuki asked.

"You like that?" Sae asked.

"Hahaha...You are really really DOOOOM!" Kai teased.

"Shut it! If its just being sweeter...I can handle it..." Sae said.

"Are you Sae? What has love turned you into!" Kuu said.

"A sweeter Sae..." Kai said.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"Too bad Jun is sleeping...He missed out the fun." Kuu said.

"Let him rest...He has been working really hard these days..." Sae said.

"Shall we have our composing champion sing us a few more songs?" Kai asked.

"Kai! What are you saying? I'm still far from being a champion!" Acchan retorted.

"Acchan...You are already his champion...Same goes for you right? He is your champion!" Riku said.

Kai and Acchan looked at each other and blushed.

"I want to hear Yuki sing..." Sae said.

"Why not the both of you sing?" Kuu said.

"Yeah! Thats a great idea!" Yuko said.

"Shall we?" Acchan asked.

"Of course...I'm be glad to." Yuki said.

Acchan and Yuki then sang a few of their original songs. They had lots of fun singing and chatting at the music room.

"Ding dong"

At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 2-4 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

"Matsui kun...Matsui kun..."

"Hmmm..." Jun said as he opened his eyes.

"Matsui kun? Are you ok?"

"Hmmm...Gomen...I am just sleepy..." Jun said as he looked up to see who woke him up.

"Really? That's great...I thought you are unwell...Where's everyone?" Rena asked.

"Senpai? This must be a dream...See you later..." Jun said and fall back to his sleep.

"Matsui kun? Matsui kun!" Rena said.

Rena tried to wake him up but Jun thought he must be dreaming and he continue to sleep.

"JUN KUN!" Rena shouted.

"HAI!" Jun said and jumped up from his seat.

"Giggles"

Jun look around the empty classroom and realized that its only him and Rena here.

"Where's everybody? Jun asked.

"I should be asking you that...Why are you alone here?" Rena asked.

"I'm alone here? Why am I alone here?" Jun asked as he rubs his sleepy eyes.

"Mohhh...Jun kun! Wake up!" Rena said loudly. Hoping that would wake Jun up.

"Ah Gomen...Sensei is not around...We have free periods so everyone went to do their stuff...Don't you have classes? Why are you here Senpai?"
Jun asked.

"I see...  As I did not select the elective lessons that some of my classmates is having...Like you now, I have free periods ...I happened to walk
pass here on my way to the library and saw you alone in the class...So I was wondering what happened..." Rena said.

"It's just that...I fall out with the others so they left without me..." Jun said sadly.

"Serious? What happened?" Rena asked worriedly.

"Hahaha! Gomen Senpai...I was just joking with you...I was really sleepy so I asked them to go ahead with their plans while I sleep...
Gomen..." Jun said.

"Mohh...Baka Jun kun..." Rena said.

"Jun kun?" Jun said as he looked at Rena.

"Erm...Like I said before...We are both Matsui so I think its better for me to address you that...Gomen...Even through I promised
not to..." Rena said.

"Senpai...Arigato...I think I still prefer to be called Jun kun by you..." Jun said as he smiled at Rena.

As Jun and Rena looked at each other, they have a indescribable feeling going through them.

"Actually Jun kun, Miyaza...." Rena said halfway but was interrupted.

"JUN! LUNCH TIME!" RIKU SHOUTED.

"KYAA! Riku-nyan is so manly with that shout!" Yuko said.

"Please stop being so disgusting! See my goosebumps!" Sae said.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

The guys came back to the class as promised to wake Jun up for lunch and they were surprise to see Jun and Rena.

"Opps...Did we came at the wrong consultation time Dr Matsui?" Kuu teased.

"What do you mean?" Jun asked.

"What else but...?" Kai said as he points at Rena.

"Not at all...I just happened to meet Senpai here!" Jun said.

"HERE? Our classroom?" Acchan asked.

"I mean Senpai happened to walk pass here and thought something happened to me..." Jun said.

"Something happened to YOU?" Kai asked.

"NO! She was just wondering why is our classroom so empty and came in to take a look!" Jun said.

"Oh...I see..." Riku said.

"Ahhh...I didn't bring my lunch together...Let's go to the canteen now! See you later Senpai!" Jun said and ran off to the canteen,
accidentally knocked off some files from his bag.

"Jun kun must be really hungry..." Rena said.

"HAHAHAHAHA" Everyone laughed except Rena.

"Gomen Senpai...Please excuse us..." Kai said and walked off with Acchan, Sae, Yuki and Kuu.

"See you later Rena san~!" Yuko said and walked together to the canteen with Riku.

After everyone left, Rena helped Jun picked up his dropped files on the floor.

"Medical Institute of America... Is Jun Kun going to study there? " Rena wondered.

Rena put the file back into Jun's bag and left their classroom, feeling sad.

After school, the guys went for their practice as usual. With the guidance of Akimoto, they have confirmed their team's start up and
formation for next week's match. The volleyball team is also well prepared and ready to show their skills in next week's match.


Acchan is preparing hard for her upcoming audition with Yuki's help. After she played her audition song to Kai and the others, Acchan is
more confident and is looking forward to the competition.

Chapter 24

SATURDAY AFTERNOON

AT AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

Yuki and Yuko accompany Acchan to the audition theater early to help the guys get seats.

"Riku-nyan! We are over here!" Yuko shouted as she waves at the Riku.

"Kai! Yuko and Yuki is over there..." Riku said as he points at Yuko.

The boys saw Yuko and quickly ran towards them.

"Phew~ We made it just in time...Arigato Yuko and Yuki..." Kai said as he sat on the chair.

"Arigato Yuko...If not, Yuki can't come here today..." Sae said.

"No problem! Since I have no practice today..." Yuko said as she smiled.

"My Yuko is the best!" Riku said.

"Stop that! You 2 are not the main here today..." Kuu said.

"Sae...Are you tired? How is practice today?" Yuki asked as she use a tissue to wipe the sweat off Sae's head.

"Luckily, Akimoto Sensei have something on today...If not we might not be able to make it to the opening..." Sae said.

"Thanks to Jun and his genie...Totally spot on!" Riku said.

"It's just a coincidence! All I said is we will definitely make it in time for the opening...Thats all!" Jun said.

"Where's Auntie Haruko?" Kai asked Yuki.

"Auntie is at the backstage with Acchan..." Yuki replied.

"Hey! Its about to start!" Yuko said as she saw the theater lights started to dim.

As the lights dimmed off, the curtain of the stage slowly draw again and the contestants of the 2nd audition is revealed.
When they saw Acchan, they started to shout like fans.


"ACCHAN!"

"ATSUKO!"

"Minna...Arigato..." Acchan said softly as she hears her name begin shouted.

The MC of the day then announced the start of 'Round 2' of the Akiba Composing Talent Search and the contestants presented
their original songs one by one.


"Seriously...I don't understand what is he singing..." Kuu said. As he listens to the contestant performing metal rock.

"My ears hurts...I might need to go to the hospital to check my ear drums..." Jun said as he covered his ears with his hands.

"Yuki are you ok? I will request him to stop singing if it hurts..." Sae said.

"Don't worry...I am just not used to this music..." Yuki said.

"What a master piece...He's going to get into the next round..." Riku said.

"Are you serious? I didn't know you are into metal..." Kai said.

"Kyaa! Riku-nyan is so wild!" Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"We should have separated our seats from them..." Kuu said.

"Now not only my ears hurts...My eyes and skin hurts!" Jun said.

"I can understand why your eyes hurts...Whats with the skin?" Kai asked.

"Outbreak of goosebumps!" Jun said.

The performance finally ended and they can finally relax as the contestants right after the metal rock is all smoothing love songs.

"Hey can you feel it?" Kuu asked.

"Yeah...Sleepiness is in the air..." Kai replied.

"The tempo is too slow...I feel like I am in outer space..." Riku said.

"Riku-nyan...I am feeling sleepy..." Yuko said and rested on Riku's shoulder.

"This is really ridiculous...How are they able to get into the 2nd round..." Jun said.

"I think...High possibility is not enough contestants..." Sae said.

"Sae...Thats mean! I really hope Acchan comes out soon...They will definitely be amazed!" Yuki said.

Finally after a long wait, Acchan enters the stage with her guitar.

"It's Acchan's turn finally!" Yuko said.

"Atsuko...Ganbatte!" Kai said and pray hard for a smooth performance.

"Minna san, konnichiwa. I am Maeda Atsuko, number 14 from Akiba Academy. Kiite kudasai, 'Flower'." Acchan said and walked
to the chair and sat down.

Acchan took a deep breathe and adjust her posture. She then strummed her guitar to play her song.

"Kokoro no katasumi
Flower
Chiisana hana ga saita
Ano hi no negai wa
Yukkuri to
Hinata no naka saita

Sore wa nagai michinori
Kaze ni fukarete
Ame ni utareta
Ima dekiru koto dake wo
Tada shoujiki ni
Shinji tsudzuketa..."

In the corner of my heart
Flower
A little flower bloomed
My wish from that day
Slowly
Bloomed in the sun

It’s been a long road
I’ve been buffeted by the wind
Lashed by the rain
And all I could do
Was stay true to myself
And believe in my abilities

(Lyrics taken from http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html (http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html))

The sleepy audiences were suddenly alive when Acchan starts to sing her song.

"The song is really beautiful..." Yuki said.

"Yes...I think I can relate to what Acchan is trying to say..." Sae said.

"The melody is really sweet..." Riku said.

"This is the best I heard so far..." Yuko said.

"Acchan definitely will make it to the next round..." Jun said.

"I think it sounds different from what we heard at the music room...It sounds so much better..." Kuu said.

"Of course...Acchan belongs to the stage...She is a natural born performer..." Kai said.

"Marude ai no you ni..."

Just like love...

The whole theater is now filled with loud cheers and claps. Seeing and hearing the cheers and claps, Acchan cried as
she bows to the audience as thanks. She then walked quickly to Haruko and hugged her.


"Atsu...Oka san is so proud of you..." Haruko said and started to cry when she hugged Acchan.

"Oka san...It's so scary...So scary..." Acchan said.

"Atsu...You have done well enduring it and delivered such a wonderful performance...Oka san is so happy for you...." Haruko said.

"Arigato...Arigato Oka san..." Acchan cried out.

The remaining contestants went on performing after Acchan's performance. Soon it came to an end and they are having a short
break to let the judges decide which contestants will proceed to the next round. Kai and the others are praying hard for Acchan.


"Atsuko...Please let Atsuko be selected!" Kai chants in his mind.

"Acchan...Please be Acchan..." Yuki prayed hard in her mind.

"If Acchan is not selected...Something is wrong with the judges ears...I will get a referrel letter for them to go to my family's hospital
to have them checked..." Jun said softly.

"Counting on you for that..." Kuu said.

"Riku-nyan...I am so nervous..." Yuko said.

"Hold my hand then...It's going to be alright..." Riku said and holds Yuko's hands.

"Please stop it! Acchan should be the one who is nervous...What are you nervous for Yuko..." Sae rebuked softly.

"But...This is so different from sports where we can see the results by points...This is completely new to me..." Yuko said.

"True...I am feeling nervous too." Kuu said.

"Serious? You look totally fine to me..." Jun said.

"Hey quiet! The MC is about to announce the results!" Kai said.

Finally the time has come to reveal who will advance to the next round. The MC walked onto the stage with a card on his hand.

"Sorry to keep you waiting...I will announce the contestants who will proceed to the next round." The MC said.

Hearing that, each contestant's families and friends who is supporting them started to shout their number.

"Contestant number  4, 7, 8, 10, 14, 16 and 23 will be able to advance to the next round!" The MC said.

"ATSUKO! ATSUKO IS NUMBER 14!" Kai cheered loudly as he hears Acchan's number being announced.

"Yokata yokata...Omedetou Acchan...Omedetou..." Yuki cried out.

"Acchan definitely deserve it..." Sae said and wiped the tears off Yuki's cheeks.

"I'm glad the judges ears are fine...Acchan definitely is the best!" Jun said.

"I knew Acchan definitely can nail this..." Kuu said.

"Riku-nyan! Acchan got selected! Acchan got selected!" Yuko cried out and jumped on Riku.

"Yupp...I am so happy for Acchan..." Riku said.

OUTSIDE AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

After the results, everyone left the theater and waited outside for Acchan as she needs to stay back a while for
briefing regarding the next round.


"ACCHAN! OMEDETOU!" Everyone shouted when they see Acchan.

"Arigato!" Acchan said and walked to hug Yuki and Yuko.

"I'm glad I came...Your performance was really awesome..." Kuu said.

"Can I have a record of your song? I really like it!" Yuko said.

"Thats cheating! Acchan I want your song too!" Riku said.

"Riku...I thought you are into metal rock? Don't make Acchan play it in metal rock style...That's weird..." Jun said.

"I would like to try hearing it once..." Yuki said with a laugh.

"Are you serious?" Sae asked.

"Erm...Where's Kai?" Acchan asked as she can't see Kai among the group.

"Kai went to get us some seats at the cafe...To celebrate your victory!" Yuko replied.

"I see...Then I have to tell Oka san..." Acchan said.

"Where's Auntie Haruko?" Yuki asked.

"Washroom...Ahh...There she is! Help me take my guitar...I will be right back!" Acchan said as she saw Haruko
walked out from the theater.

"Ok!" Everyone said and Jun helped Acchan with the guitar.

After informing Haruko her plans later, Acchan went to the cafe with them.

"Kai's there!" Yuko said as she points at Kai who is sitting at a corner of the cafe.

"Let's go in then..." Sae said and walked into the cafe holding Yuki's hand.

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

They walked towards Kai and saw him behaving suspiciously.

"KAI!" Kuu called out.

"WOahhh..." Kai said and was startled.

"Did you just...?" Jun asked as he sat down on the chair. The others then join in the table.

"What?" Kai asked nervously.

"Kai...Did you?" Kuu asked.

"WHAT? What did I do?" Kai asked as he gets more nervous.

"Must be...Look at his face..." Sae said.

"He's got a really guitly look since we got here..." Riku said.

"I see...Kai you are a bad boy! No wonder you want to come to the cafe first..." Yuko said.

"Kai...How could you..." Yuki said.

"Yuki...Even you...Just what are you guys talking about?" Kai asked.

"I SAW YOU LOOKING AT THAT GIRL! You startled when I called your name..." Kuu said.

"WHAT! I didn't!" Kai retorted.

"I am disappointed in you Kai...I always thought you only have me in your eyes..." Acchan said while she displays
a disappointed look.

"Acchan...I think I will get a referrel letter for Kai to have his eyes checked...He already have such a good GIRL FRIEND
but he still looks at others..." Jun said.

"Hey! I did not look at others girls and never will I look at others girls since I only have 1 in my eyes, heart and mind!"
Kai declared loudly.

The other customers in the cafe laughed at Kai's declaration and that made Kai blushing in embarrassment.

"Kai is so sweet to Acchan..." Yuki said.

"I can be sweeter..." Sae teased.

"You mean towards Acchan? Sae, you can't do that to Yuki..." Kuu said.

"Of course those words I said is meant for Yuki!" Sae said.

"HAHAHAHA"

"So Kai...Why are you looking and behaving so suspiciously if you are NOT looking at that GIRL..." Jun asked as he
points at a girl opposite their table.

"NO! I was...was..." Kai said and was getting really nervous again.

"Are you hiding something under the table?" Yuko asked as she saw Kai's hands are under the table.

"Huh?" Everyone said and looked under the table except the girls.

"What is it?" Yuki asked.

"Kai...You are disgusting!" Kuu said.

"How am I suppose to tell Yuki..." Sae said.

"What are you talking about!" Kai retorted.

"All I can say its a NATURAL way of showing AFFECTION to a girl..." Jun said.

"Oh my...Kai...Don't tell me you got a..." Yuko said.

"Yuko! Don't say it!" Riku said.

"......" Acchan is blushing.

"Hey! Atsuko what is with that face and everyone stop saying misleading things...All I got is..." Kai said and took out something.

"You are setting the standards way high..." Kuu said.

"I was planning to get for Yuki...You have stolen my idea..." Sae said.

"A bouquet of flowers...I want some too Riku-nyan~" Yuko said.

"Now I have to get them for Yuko..." Riku said.

Kai gave Acchan a bouquet of white carnation mixed with some sweet olive flowers.

"You remembered..." Acchan said happily as she smell the flowery scent.

"I never forget the promises I promised you..." Kai said.

"What promise?" Yuki asked.

"Kai said if I take part in composing competition...He will get me a bouquet of flowers..." Acchan said with a smile.

"Just why aren't you 2 together yet? This almost can be considered a marriage proposal!" Riku said.

"I am curious too...But Riku-nyan...You no need to propose to me...I will definitely marry you~" Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"Argh...Please stop that...Wait till I introduce my girlfriend!" Kuu said.

Everyone looked at Kuu, this is the first time Kuu actually mention a girlfriend.

"You succeeded?" Jun asked.

"Yeah...I asked her and...Yar...We are together now..." Kuu replied shyly.

"WOW...MORE DETAILS!" Kai said excitedly.

Kuu then summarised what exactly happened between him, Kukai and Mariko.

"Kukai-nii is awesome!" Riku said.

"Kuu...You are lucky to have Kukai-nii to watch over your love..." Sae said.

"I know...I am indebted to him..." Kuu said.

"I want to meet Mariko...She is so COOL!" Yuko said.

"Sure...I will introduce Mariko to you guys next time..." Kuu said.

"Kuu...Omedetou..." Yuki said.

"You must treasure her..." Jun said.

"I will...Enough of me...Let's go back to Kai...Why are you not with Acchan?" Kuu asked.

"Well...Its a stupid promise..." Sae said.

"Hey!" Kai and Acchan retorted.

"You know about it Sae?" Yuki asked.

"Well...I shall help the awkward 'couple' explain..." Sae said.

Sae then told them all about Kai's and Acchan's promise to each other.

"For Kai...We must definitely win against Majisuka!" Jun said.

"Yeah! We can't stand watching them lust for each other but can't go beyond it because of this stupid promise..." Riku said.

"Hey!" Kai and Acchan retorted.

"It pains me to see them being restrict to this promise...For Kai and for us...We will win!" Kuu said.

"Win Majisuka so Kai gets the girl!" Sae said.

"I appreciate all of your kind thoughts...But can you lower your volume? Everyone is looking at us!" Kai said as he
looks around the cafe.

"......" Acchan is blushing.

"Yuki...Kai is so sweet..." Yuko said.

"Hai...He always is..." Yuki said.

"Anyway...Riku...You told me you have something to announce to everyone...What is it? About your fiancee or did
your parents start to do anything?" Kuu asked.

"Actually..." Riku said.

Riku and Yuko then told their friends what happened.

"Are you serious? This is so dramatic!" Kai said.

"Yuko really is Mayumi and she is your fiancee? No way..." Kuu said and looked at Yuko.

"I'm happy for you Yuko..." Acchan said.

"Arigato Acchan..." Yuko said.

"Insane...Totally insane...We worried for nothing..." Sae said.

"I'm glad everything turns out ok...Omedetou Yuko..." Yuki said.

"Arigato Yuki..." Yuko said.

"You girls sure can take things in stride...So complicated..." Kai said.

"Hey Kai...Don't think I don't know what you want to say..." Acchan pouted.

"Opps..." Kai said.

"Acchan...The flowers Kai got you are really pretty...I like the sweet olive..." Yuki said.

"Me too...It's small but its fragrance is not losing to the carnations..." Yuko said.

"Any meaning as to why you choose this combination?" Jun asked.

"Well...I don't really know about flowers...I think the carnations smells nice but the sweet olive's fragrance is not
losing to the carnations despite being smaller...So I hope Acchan song's will be spread to everyone and make them
remember...Keep on moving people and make more people aware of her music..." Kai explained.

"Wow...I never thought you would actually think that far..." Kuu said.

"Kai you are really very sweet..." Yuko said.

"I'm impressed Kai...I must work harder to be better than you!" Riku said.

"We better win against Majisuka...Don't make Acchan wait for Kai anymore...Acchan want action not just words!" Jun said.

"Acchan...What's wrong?" Yuki asked as she saw Acchan looking at the flowers and not chatting with them.

"Kinmokusei...Kai Arigato...I will definitely do my best!" Acchan said and smiled at Kai.

"Let's do our best." Kai said and smiled at Acchan.

"So when is the next round?" Yuko asked.

"2 weeks later...Actually, I have a request for you guys..." Acchan said.

Everyone looked at Acchan and wondered what is her request.

"Sure...What is it about?" Kai asked.

"If its something I can help with...I will help you..." Jun said.

"Just tell us what we need to do..." Sae said.

"Really! I want all of you to perform with me!" Acchan said.

"EHHHHHHHHHH" Everyone is surprised.

"How come? Isn't this a composing competition that restrict to only 1 performer?" Kai asked.

"Are you sure about having us?" Sae asked.

"Oh yeah! We will rock the house!" Riku said.

"Riku...I believe its not metal rock..." Kuu asked.

"Ehh...Really?" Riku asked.

"You better think carefully Acchan..." Jun said.

"This will be so fun!" Yuko said.

"Something to do with the next round theme?" Kai asked.

"Hai! The theme they proposed is friendship and they allow us to get our friends to perform together..." Acchan said.

"I see..." Kai said.

"Yukirin and Yuko will be singing with me..." Acchan said.

"Are you sure about Yuko?" Kuu asked.

"Hey! I can sing!" Yuko retorted.

"My Yuko is multi talented! Don't you doubt her!" Riku said.

"You heard her singing before?" Jun asked.

"Hahaha...Nope..." Riku said.

"Then what do we have to do? I am ok with anything else but not dancing..." Kai said.

"I want Kai to be on keyboard...Jun to play the violin...Sae to play the drums...Kuu and Riku to play the electric guitar..." Acchan said.

"Of course! If you need, I can play the bass!" Yuko said.

"I'll be glad to be able to be useful to Acchan..." Yuki said.

"Awesome! I can't wait for the next round!" Jun said excitedly.

"This will be so much fun! Like having our own band!" Riku said.

"Sure...I guess you already have a song in mind to house all of us?" Kai asked.

"This!" Acchan said and hold the bouquet of flowers up.

"Didn't you just performed 'Flower'?" Jun asked.

"New enhanced version?" Riku asked.

"Hope its not metal rock..." Kuu said.

"Kimokusei!" Acchan said.

Everyone looked at Acchan and is confused. Acchan did not explain further and simply told the guys to look forward to it.
They ordered their food and then discussed their plans and practice timing so that it will not clashed with their basketball
and volleyball practice or matches.


With her friends encouragement and support, Acchan is overloaded with inspiration. That night, Acchan came out with the
lyrics and tune for her new song and named it 'Kimokusei'.

               Let's see how it goes :cathappy:

@Naoru_chan: Thanks! :twothumbs

Sorry but I am not going into details on their basketball matches...Its way too long!
Here's chapter 25A...Enjoy!

Chapter 25A

3 days has passed since Acchan's 2nd audition. All of them has been practicing together at the music room everyday
during lunch time and after their club session. Today is finally the day for the basketball team to have their first Inter-high match.


At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 2-4 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

"Ohayo!" Jun greeted.

" Jun! Looking good!" Riku said and hi-five with Jun.

"Of course...We have been waiting for this day..." Jun said.

"Great...We will definitely win!" Kai said.

"Good luck guys..." Rie said.

"Kitahara...You coming later?" Jun asked.

"No...I have practice after school..." Rie said.

"Do we have practice after school? Yuko asked.

"I remember Yuko said she doesn't have practice today..." Acchan said.

"I mean SELF PRACTICE! I am going to do self practice..." Rie said.

"You have a match tomorrow so don't overwork yourself..." Kuu said.

"Arigato...All the best later!" Rie said and went back to her seat.

The guys knew the reason, she doesn't want to go see Rinnosuke.

"Atsuko...Will you be coming later?" Kai asked.

"Of course! I am Akiba basketball team no.1 fan! Remember?" Acchan said.

"Of course! I am Kai's no.1 lover! Remember?" Riku tried to imitate Acchan in a exaggerated way.

"Hey!" Kai and Acchan retorted.

"Ding dong"

"Sensei is coming...Catch up later..." Kai said and went back to his seat.

All of them went back to their seats and sat through their lessons.

"Ding dong"

"Finally! Let's go!" Kai said as he stood up and went out of the classroom.

"Osuuu!" Kuu and the others said and followed Kai.

"Basketball club! Fight on!"

"All the best!"

Their classmates cheered them on. Acchan, Yuki and Yuko also followed them to the basketball court as that is the
meeting place for the team players and supporters. After that, they board the bus and head to the stadium.


Kai and the others remained silence throughout the bus trip as they are trying to prepare themselves. Acchan, Yuki and
Yuko took another bus for the supporters.


"I'm so nervous..." Yuko said.

"Me too...This is my first time seeing a basketball match..." Yuki said.

"Acchan...What's wrong?" Yuko asked as she noticed Acchan is not saying anything.

"Huh..Nothing...Why?" Acchan asked.

"Acchan...Did you give it to Kai?" Yuki asked.

"What? Give what?" Yuko asked.

"Not yet...I didn't get the chance to give it to him..." Acchan said sadly and took out the lucky charm she made
for Kai and showed the girls.

"Don't worry...You can always give it to him later.." Yuki said.

"Yeah right..." Acchan said with a smile.

"Ahh...Is that the stadium?" Yuko asked.

"Hai...We are arriving soon..." Acchan replied.

OUTSIDE AKIBAHARA SPORTS STADIUM

Finally, they reached the stadium and got down from the bus one by one.

"Acchan! Kai's over there! Go now before they leave!" Yuko said as she points at Kai.

"Gambate Acchan!" Yuki said.

"Hai..." Acchan said and walked over to Kai with the lucky charm.

"Pak"

Somebody bumped into Acchan and she accidentally dropped the lucky charm.

"Itaiii..." Acchan said.

"Opps! Gomen..." Rinnosuke said.

"Isn't this Maeda san?...Long time no see..." Yuichi said.

"Kai! It's them..." Sae said and points at Rinnosuke and Yuichi.

"What are they doing to Atsuko...Let's go take a look..." Kai said and ran towards Acchan. The others followed him.

"There's something underneath my shoes?" Rinnosuke said and lift up his feet to check.

Rinnosuke lifted up his shoes and saw Acchan's lucky charm underneath. Acchan quickly pick up the lucky charm and
tried to clean the dirt off. Seeing that, Yuko and Yuki quickly walked over to Acchan.


"What should I do...It won't get off..." Acchan said and teared.

"Opps...Gomen...I didn't mean to step on it..." Rinnosuke said.

"Sashi! What have you done to Atsuko!" Kai said angrily.

"Kai...I..." Acchan said.

"We didn't do anything...It's just a small accident..." Yuichi said.

"What do you mean by small accident? Acchan is crying!" Sae said angrily.

"Acchan are you alright?" Yuko asked.

"The charm..." Acchan said.

"It's really a accident...I don't mean to step on her charm..." Rinnosuke said in a irritated tone.

"Acchan...Is this very important?" Jun asked.

"It's for Kai...Now its covered with dirt..." Acchan said sadly.

"For Takahashi? You still need to rely on this useless crap? Looks like Akiba is going to be like this charm...
Lose like dirt...Hahahaha!" Rinnosuke said and laughed.

"What did you say!" Riku said agitatedly.

"Rinnosuke don't go overboard...Let's go." Yuichi said and went into the stadium.

"See you later! Losers!" Rinnosuke said and followed Yuichi.

"They are so mean...Acchan please don't cry..." Yuki said and wiped the tears off from Acchan's cheeks.

"What are you guys doing there! We are going in now!" Akimoto shouted.

"Give us a minute Sensei!" Kai shouted.

Kai took the charm over from Acchan's hands.

"Kai...Don't take this...It's dirty..." Acchan said sadly.

"Then all the more I should take it! This charm will remind me no matter how bad the situation is,
I always have you by my side..." Kai said and kissed Acchan's hands.

"......" Acchan blushed.

"Woah...Breakthrough finally!" Riku cheered.

"Aww...So sweet!" Yuko said.

"Acchan! Don't worry! We are here to win!" Jun said.

"I believe they will definitely win..." Yuki said.

"We will show them who is the real dirt here." Kuu said.

"Arigato Atsuko! Make sure you watch closely to our match! We will definitely win!" Kai said and ran to join
the other club members.

"See you later Yuko!" Riku said and ran after Kai.

"Let's go!" Kuu and Jun said and ran after Kai.

"Go in and sit first...Don't over strain yourself..." Sae said to Yuki.

"Gambate ne!" Yuki said.

"I will definitely win! Watch me!" Sae said while he pats Yuki's head. After that, he ran after the others.

AT AKIBAHARA SPORTS STADIUM

Both academy players are resting at their own control room, waiting for their match to begin. Their coaches had a final
run down with them before they leave for the match.


"Remember! Control your temper and you will be able to get a good tempo! Always look around and know where your team is...
Most importantly, communicate!" Akimoto said.

"Osuu!"

"Are you ready to go?" Akimoto asked.

"Hai!"

Meanwhile, at Nogizaka Academy...

"I want you guys to act accordingly to Sashihara and Yokoyama! I'm counting on you guys..." The coach said and looked at
Rinnosuke and Yuichi.

"Just go for their weakness I told you guys before...They will definitely by trashed by us!" Rinnosuke said.

"Hai!"

"Let's win this! Nogizaka Academy!" Yuichi shouted.

"HAI!"

The supporters sat down at the audience seat area are getting excited as the match is about to begin. Finally, the time has come
and the teams started to enter the court to do their warming up.


"Ahhhh! Riku-nyan! Riku-nyan!" Yuko shouted once she saw Riku enter the court. Riku waved at Yuko.

"Yuko...Stay calm! Everybody is looking at us..." Acchan said.

"I don't care! Supporters are meant to do this!" Yuko retorted.

"Well...At least do that when the match starts?" Yuki said.

"Mohhh! Acchan and Yuki are too quiet! You should join me in supporting them..." Yuko pouted.

"Them? I only hear you cheer for Riku..." Acchan said.

"Hehehe...Cheering for Riku means cheering for everyone too!" Yuko said.

"Giggles" Acchan and Yuki laughed at Yuko.

"BEEEP!"

"Hey look! It's about to start!" Yuko said and pointed at the referees who have entered the court with a basketball.

As usual, the Akiba 5 are the starters for the game. Kai lead his team mates to do their cheer.

"Akiba Academy! Are you ready!" Kai shouted.

"Yossha ikuzo!! AKIBAAA ACADEMY!!"

Rinnosuke and Yuichi are also part of the starters in Nogizaka Academy. Yuichi lead their shout out.

"It's showtime! Let's show them who we are! Nogizaka Academy ikuzo!" Yuichi shouted.

"WIN WIN WIN! ALL WE DO IS WIN! NOGIZAKA ACADEMY!"

Standing on the same court, the startup players are all ready to start the face off. Sae and Rinnosuke will be jumper for their team.

"Loser..." Rinnosuke said to Sae.

"We shall see..." Sae said and focused on the ball on the referees hands.

"BEEP"

With everyone in position, the referee start off with the ball tossed in the air.

As soon as the ball is tossed up, Sae and Rinnosuke waited for the best time to jump for the ball.

"Yuichi!" Rinnosuke shouted and passed the ball to Yuichi.

"Sae! Fall back and defend!" Kai shouted as he saw Sae lost the jump to get the starting ball.

The Akiba 5 quickly got into their defending position. Yuichi is amazed that they have improved so much.

"Everyone! Let's reorganize and get this point first..." Yuichi said as he did some hand signals to Rinnosuke.

As the Nogizaka players re-adjust their position, Rinnosuke found a good spot to score the first point.

"Here!" Rinnosuke shouted as he ran towards a unmanned corner.

"Take down the first point! Go Rinnosuke!" Yuichi said and passed the ball to Rinnosuke.

"JUN!" Kai shouted.

Hearing that, Jun made a fast break away from his friends and ran as fast as he could.

"Not so fast! Score the first point Jun!" Sae said as he snatched away Nogizaka's ball when it was about to be passed to
Rinnosuke. Sae then passed the ball to Jun.

Dribbling the ball with him, Jun is about to reach his opponent's basket. Because of his fast break, the Nogizaka players
was not able to go back to defend in time.

"AHHH...GO IN!" Jun said and scored.

"YAY! One more time! One more time!" The Akiba supporters cheered when the ball went in.

"Damn! Almost..." Rinnosuke reprimanded himself.

"It's ok...Just give them a little treat first...We will pay back starting from now!" Yuichi said.

However, things were not going to the way Rinnosuke and Yuichi expected to be. Halfway into through the match, Akiba is
now leading Nogizaka 26 points with the score of 48 : 22.


"Beep"

"Half time!" The referee said.

Both teams quickly went back to their coach for further instructions and to rest.

"Good! Stay calm and play by ear! Do not get agitated by what they say and do...Just keep this pace!" Akimoto said.

"Hai!"

"Can you guys still fight on?" Akimoto asked.

Kai looked at his buddies and they nodded.

"Yes Akimoto Sensei...Please let us continue the match till the end! Onegaishimasu!" Kai said and bowed to Akimoto with his friends.

"Good! Have a good rest now...Show Sashihara and Yokoyama that you are not what you used to be!" Akimoto said.

"HAI!"

Meanwhile at Nogizaka...

"WHAT IS GOING ON? Didn't you say that no.4 (Jun)  can only shoot on the right side and no.8 (Riku) is bad at getting rebounds?
Do you know they actually scored the most points since half time?" Nogizaka coach shouted angrily at Rinnosuke and Yuichi.

"Sensei! It is just their scheme! Don't be lead by them!" Rinnosuke said.

"Enough of your nonesense! With this score now you think I still want to continue taking advise from you? We will now reorganize the
play with the formation I am going to tell you!" Nogizaka coach said.

"No Sensei! As long we just concentrate to attack like before...They will definitely lose as their stamina is bad!" Yuichi exclaimed.

"Stop it! Their stamina is bad? They have not been subsitute out even once! I don't want to take the risk so now, listen to my instructions
or you get out from the game!" Nogizaka coach said.

"Why can't you understand! We are the ones playing there not you!" Rinnosuke rebuked.

"Hey Sashihara! Don't talk to Sensei that way..."

"Yokoyama...Just follow what Sensei wants us to do...We can't afford to lose here..."

"Hey! You guys don't know anything! Get lost!" Rinnosuke said.

"Who are you to tell us what we need to do!" Yuichi said.

"How come you say that! We are a team!"

"I had enough of you 2...Just because you are better than us, doesn't mean you are the best!"

"What did you say! You losers!" Rinnosuke said and grabbed one of his team mate's jersey.

"Enough! Sashihara and Yokoyama, I'm taking you 2 out from this match..." Nogizaka coach said.

"Are you stupid? Taking us out, we will definitely lose!" Rinnosuke retorted.

"Our play is perfect! What is the reason that you want both of us out?" Yuichi asked.

"No team work and too full of yourself! Nogizaka don't need players who can't work and communicate with others!
THIS IS MY TEAM! You play it my way! Now go sit at the bench and reflect upon your actions!" Nogizaka coach said.

"You will regret it..." Rinnosuke said and walked out of the court with Yuichi.

"Hey! I said to the bench! Where are you 2 going!" Nogizaka coach shouted.

Kai and the Akiba club members looked on. Akimoto signed and shook his head as the scene reminds him one year ago.

"They are still the same...It's really a pity...They really have great skills..." Akimoto said.

"Sensei..." Kai called out.

"Instead of blaming others, you all chose to work harder than anyone else to polish up your skills because you are willing to
acknowledge your weakness... You guys really deserves to win this...Get in there now!" Akimoto said.

"Hai!"

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and both teams quickly got into court in their positions. The rest of the game continued without
Rinnosuke and Yuichi. Without the 2 of them, Nogizaka is losing more points and was not able to stop the Akiba 5's reign on the game.


"Beep!"

"73 : 31. Akiba Academy win!" the referee said.

The Akiba supports led out a thunderous cheer to celebrate their school's basketball club's win. Kai and his club members were
overjoyed and group hugged each other. Acchan, Yuki and Yuko were crying tears of joy while they looked on.


"Damn!" Rinnosuke shouted in the control room when he heard the announcement and the cheers.

"We should be the ones who should win!" Yuichi said and cried.

After that, the Akiba players went back to the control room for their debrief while the Nogizaka just left the stadium without Rinnosuke
and Yuichi as they were too bitter to conduct any debrief.


"Knock"

- Door open -

Rinnosuke and Yuichi looked at the entrance and saw Kai and Akimoto.

"What do you want? Akiba's control room is over there!" Yuichi said and points to the room opposite their school's.

"I have something to say to you..." Kai said.

"What do you want to say? Congratulations on losing?" Rinnosuke said agitatedly.

"No! I just want to say..Gomenasai!" Kai said and bowed to Rinnosuke and Yuichi.

"What do you mean by this? We don't need your pity!" Yuichi said.

"No! Don't misunderstand me...I just feel that I owe Sashi and Yuichi this apology since 1 year ago...I failed badly as the captain
and was not able to face you guys after what happened...I was weak and I chose to run away...I'm really sorry!" Kai said and
bowed to them again.

"Are you here to give us a hearing?" Rinnosuke asked as he looks at Akimoto.

"I always thought that Yokoyama being the point guard and Sashihara being the center is the best combination Akiba ever had.
But today, your actions proved me wrong. Basketball is a team effort, but I only see the 2 of you playing against our team..."
Akimoto said.

"We don't need a team! We can do it by ourselves to win!" Rinnosuke shouted.

"Don't be naive! Without a team, how are you suppose to play in Inter-high...Basketball is a 5 man sports not 2 man...Remember!
You are able to come here because of your team, not because you are in the team...Even for me, I am nothing without the team...
I am here because the team needs me...If you don't change your attitude, you will not win any games..." Akimoto said and left
the room with Kai.

"Damn! Whats the use of telling us now!" Rinnosuke cried out.

"Why didn't you say anything then...Damn!" Yuichi said and started to cry.

Kai and the others meet up with the girls after their dismissal and went back to school to continue practice for Acchan's competition.

Chapter 25B

AT THE MUSIC ROOM

Not wanting to lose any practicing time, Kai and the others came back to school right after their match. However, Kai noticed
the girls seems to be looking out of sort.


"Did something happened during the match?" Kai asked as he prepare the keyboard.

"Huh?" Yuko said.

"Yuko...You are not happy for our win? Or are you tired? Maybe you should go back and rest...Tomorrow you have a match..."
Riku said and caress Yuko's head.

"Riku, why don't you send her back? I can handle here..." Kuu said.

"No...I'm fine...It's just that..." Yuko said and looked at Acchan.

"Atsuko, what's wrong? You are not feeling well?" Kai asked worriedly.

"I'm just...Don't know what should I do and how to tell you guys..." Acchan said.

"It's too sudden...Acchan is worried and don't know what to do..." Yuki said.

"Just let us know and see if we can help...What is it?" Sae asked.

"Just say it Acchan...We definitely can solve it together..." Jun said.

"Atsuko...Is it about the competition? Did they make changes to the theme?" Kai asked.

"Wow Kai! You really know everything about Acchan..." Yuko said.

"So it's really about the competition...We still have time...We definitely can make the changes together if we start now..." Kai said.

"It's impossible...Time is too short and I can't think of anything now...They just informed me through text messages that they are
increasing the difficulty level to perform 2 originals..." Acchan said.

"Serious? Same theme?" Sae asked.

"They are adding another theme...So Acchan have to prepare another original song..." Yuki said.

"Are they serious? They should have pointed it out long ago..." Jun said.

"Hmm...What's the theme? Something different from 'Friendship'?" Sae asked.

"They are expanding it from 'Friendship'...So the 2nd theme is 'Graduation'..." Yuki said.

"Wow...That's tough..." Kuu said.

They sat down to think together as they no longer have the mood to practice after knowing that they have to perform 2 songs
and is lacking of 1 now.


"Graduation? Does it have to be new?" Kai asked.

"Of course it has to be new and not heard by anybody before...What are you talking about!" Riku said.

"I mean if nobody heard it before and only just us...It's acceptable?" Kai asked.

"Hai...As long its a original song and nobody else heard before..." Acchan said.

"AHHH! I get it Kai! Are you talking about that song?" Jun said.

"What song?" Yuki asked.

"Hahaha! I remembered! It's a song Acchan composed after seeing the actions we always do and she named it after that..." Sae said.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that, we were made to play with her almost everyday to perfect the tune!" Riku said.

"......" Acchan is thinking hard.

"What is it! What is it!" Yuko asked.

The guys looked at each other and high fived each other. Acchan straight away remembered the song upon seeing the guys action.

"High five? That's a rather unqiue name..." Yuki said.

"No! It's Give Me Five!" Acchan and the guys shouted.

"Hahahahaha"

"Why didn't I think of that?" Acchan asked herself excitedly.

"Like I told you...You can always count on us..." Kai said and smiled.

"Us? Are you sure using us is the correct word?" Kuu asked.

"Shut it!" Kai said and kicked Kuu.

"When did you wrote that song?" Yuki asked.

"During our final year at middle school, even through we will still go into the same high school...I still think, graduating is a sad thing...
so I cried..." Acchan said shyly.

"I told her we should celebrate it instead, we will still be friends even if we graduated...So to cheer this silly girl up...We high fived each
other and did a silly dance..." Kai said and laughed.

"How is it like Riku-nyan?" Yuko asked.

"ROCK!" Riku said.

"Kyaaa! This is so exciting! Riku is going to be so cool rocking that guitar!" Yuko said.

"No...It's not totally rock...It's just a faster pace song...That's all..." Kuu said.

"I wonder if I can keep up..." Yuki said worriedly.

"Don't worry...You can definitely do it...I will always be there for you..." Sae said and smiled at Yuki.

The others looked at Sae and Yuki after hearing what Sae said.

"Yucks...Sae's is getting disgusting nowadays..." Kuu said.

"What! What did I do?" Sae retorted.

"I agree..." Kai said.

"Sae needs to go for a check up...I'm worried about your health..." Jun said.

"I think I can no longer recognize him..." Riku said.

"Just what are you talking about!" Sae shouted.

"I can't believe you can easily say out those mushy words to Yuki..." Kuu said.

"Not too long ago THIS GUY still comments how scare he is...Now look at how confident he is now, saying those words without
fidgeting...Yuki, are you sure about Sae?" Kai asked.

"There's a sudden rise in your sweetness level...I am worried about your blood sugar so you better go have a check up.." Jun said.

"Nonesense! I am perfectly fine!" Sae rebuked.

"You are like a walking sugar cube...I really can't recognize you..." Riku said.

"Whats that! I still looks the same! I did not change my shape!" Sae said agitatedly.

"Hahahahaha"

"So all agreeable to use this song?" Kai asked.

"Let's hear it! Let's hear it!" Yuko said excitedly.

"I have no objections...Can we have a demo?" Yuki asked.

"Do you guys still remember the lyrics and tune?" Acchan asked.

"Of course! We played it for almost a year to help you perfect the song..." Jun said.

"So shall we?" Sae asked.

"Let's rock it on!" Riku shouted.

"GIVE ME FIVE!" Acchan and the guys shouted and played the song.

After their demo, Yuko and Yuki tried to join in while trying to learn by singing and playing. They have lots of fun singing that
song and it was not as difficult as they thought it would be. They practiced for 2 hours before they head home.


THE NEXT DAY

They attended all their classes except Yuko and Rie as their Inter-high match starts earlier than the basketball club.

- Lunch time -

"Stupid schedule...How come the volleyball team can have such a early match slot..." Riku grumbled.

"You are jealous that they can skip their classes?" Jun asked.

"Of course not! I can't go support Yuko because of this stupid schedule! Grrrrrr..." Riku retorted.

"You sound just like Yuko...Perfect couple..." Kuu said.

"Even if their schedule is not set this way, we can't go support them at all...We have practice this afternoon..." Kai said.

"I know..." Riku said sadly.

"Don't tell me you actually wanted to skip practice to support them..." Acchan said.

"Riku you are so daring...If you do that, Yuko sure will be so happy..." Yuki said.

The guys stared at Riku, giving him the 'Don't you dare skip our practice look" which gives Riku the chills in his spine.

"NO! At least let me have lunch with Yuko! Argh! I miss her so much!" Riku shouted.

"Gross..." Kuu said.

"Just go skip practice...We are fine without you..." Jun said.

"Daring...I believe you would definitely skip for Yuko..." Sae said.

"I am disappointed with you Riku..." Kai said.

"Hey! I won't skip practice! Can't I even grumble?" Riku retorted.

"Did you record it?" Yuki asked.

"Yes...Loud and clear! Sent!" Acchan said.

"Ringggggg"

Riku took out his cellphone and answered the call.

"Mos..." Riku said but was interrupted.

"RIKU-NYAN! I MISS YOU TOO! DON'T YOU SKIP YOUR PRACTICE! DON'T LOOK AT OTHER GIRLS WHEN I AM NOT AROUND!
WAIT FOR ME AND I WILL COME BACK TO SCHOOL AS SOON I'M DONE HERE!" Yuko shouted.

"Hey Yuko chan...It's time to gather...What are you doing?" Rie asked.

"Gimme me a second...I still have something to talk to Riku-nyan!" Yuko said.

"Ok! Times up! Let's go..." Rena said and drag Yuko.

"So fast! I haven't say anything yet!" Yuko retorted.

"Your time is up when you talked to us..." Rena said.

"Sorry, we are in a hurry...Await our good news!" Rie said as she snatched Yuko's cellphone.

"Do...Do...Do..."

"Is that Yuko?" Yuki asked.

"......" Riku nodded.

"What did she say?" Acchan asked.

"Looking at his face...Yuko must have asked for a break up..." Kuu said.

"NO!!!! She's been kidnapped!" Riku shouted.

"Somebody would actually do that?" Jun asked.

Hey! What is that supposed to mean!" Riku retorted.

"Kidnapped? Are you serious?" Kai asked, giving Riku a face of doubt.

"Do you know the kidnappers?" Jun asked.

"Matsui Senpai and Kitahara!" Riku shouted.

"What? That's not kidnap!" Acchan said.

"They took away our precious time! They snatched Yuko from me!" Riku said.

"Hey...Let's go back to class...I want to study the music scores..." Kai said and left.

"Let's go..." Sae said and together with the others, they followed Kai.

"You bunch of heartless people! Can't you at least console me! Hey! Wait for me!" Riku said and chased after them.

After school, the guys went for their practice. Acchan and Yuki went to the music room to practice on their own while
waiting for them to finish their practice to join them.


AT THE MUSIC ROOM

Acchan and Yuki are having a short break after 1 hour of practice.

"(Cough)..."

"Yukirin...Are you ok?" Acchan asked.

"Gomen...I choked myself accidently when I swallowed too fast..." Yuki said while holding a bottle of water.

"Let's stop for today shall we? I will text Kai to let him know..." Acchan said as she felt that Yuki might be tired since they
practice everyday.

"No! I'm really fine...Don't worry about me and if I really don't feel well, I will let you know..." Yuki said.

"Promise?" Acchan asked.

"Promise...Sae would definitely be angry with me if I over strain myself..." Yuki said.

"True...You have a knight with you now...(giggles)" Acchan said.

"Mohhh..." Yuki said and blushed.

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

Meanwhile, the basketball members are having their breaks too.

"The girls are back!"

"I think someone is injuried..."

"Who?"

Kai and his friends were sitting at the bench resting. They stood up when they heard their club members conversation.
Just then, the volleygirls walked into court except for 3.


"Where is Yuko?" Riku asked his basketball club members.

"I'm not sure...But I saw her and another 2 girls went to the nurse office..."

"Yeah...Heard one of the volleygirls had a sprained ankle.. .What a pity...Even through they won the first match..."

"To get an injury at the start of their first match...How is she going to play for the rest of the match..."

"SERIOUS?" Riku asked agitatedly.

"Riku...You better go take a look...We still have 10 minutes break time left...I will let Sensei know if you are late..." Kai said.

"Why don't you bring Dr Matsui with you? Maybe he can help out..." Kuu said.

"Sure...I will see what I can do..." Jun said.

"Arigato...Let's go now..." Riku said and ran as fast as he could with Jun.

"Hope everything is ok..." Sae said.

AT THE NURSE OFFICE

Girls crying voices can be heard along the hallway to the nurse office.

"It must have hurt badly! What should I do if its Yuko?" Riku asked.

"Don't panic...Let's go in and see first..." Jun said.

Riku and Jun entered the nurse office and saw Yuko crying loudly.

"Yuko! Are you alright? Are you in great pain? Where is the injury?" Riku asked as she examined Yuko to check for visible injury.

"Riku-nyan! It's not me...(sniff) It's Rena san...She can't continue to play with us anymore..." Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"You really freaked me out! I'm glad you are ok..." Riku said.

"Stop it Yuko chan! (sniff) You are not the one who should be crying!" Rie cried out.

"Senpai...Are you alright?" Jun asked as he saw the ice packs on Rena's right ankle.

"It's...just a light sprain...I am fine...They are...exaggerating things..." Rena said and forced a smile.

Not believing what Rena said, Jun examined Rena's swollen leg.

"What did nurse Sensei said?" Jun asked.

"I will be fine after a few days rest...I...I..." Rena said but was interrupted.

"Rena Senpai can't continue playing for a while...Nurse Sensei asked Senpai to resign from the games..." Rie said sadly.

"What? Serious?" Riku asked.

"It's my fault...I accidentally knocked into Rena san when I tried to hit the loose ball...It's my fault! I failed as a libero..."
Yuko cried out.

"Don't say that Yuko chan...Like you said, it's an accident...So don't be sad anymore..." Rena said while trying to hold
back her tears.

"But it's your last Inter-high! I should have been the 1 who is injuried...Not Rena san..." Yuko cried out.

"What should we do without Rena Senpai...What should we do..." Rie cried out.

Rena is fidgeting. Jun realized Rena is trying hard not to lose control of her emotions.

"Riku...Why don't you bring Yuko and Kitahara outside...Let them calm themselves down..." Jun said.

"Ok...Yuko and Kitahara...Let's go outside and let Senpai rest..." Riku said and led the 2 sad girls outside.

"Senpai...They have left...You don't have to hold back anymore..." Jun said as he looked at Rena.

"I'm really fine...I'm...not holding back anything...Jun kun...Don't you have practice? You should go back now...
I am fine here...I am..." Rena said with a forced smile.

Seeing that, Jun hugged Rena's head towards his chest.

"Senpai...Nobody will see or hear you if I do this...Just treat me as a pillow...I will not say a word..." Jun said.

Rena could no longer hold her emotion and started to cry.

"Why must this happen now? We just had a good start and why did it end up this way? Why...." Rena cried out.

After a while, Rena felt so much better.

"Arigato Jun kun...I am ok now...You should head back to practice...Sensei will be mad if you skip his practice..."
Rena said as she pull herself away from Jun's hug.

"Senpai...I still have 3 minutes left...I will stay here for another 2 minutes and use the last minute to run back to the
basketball court..." Jun said as he points at the clock inside the nurse office.

"Arigato..." Rena said and smiled at Jun.

"Senpai...Do you still want to continue playing?" Jun asked seriously.

"Even if I want to...Its over for me..." Rena said sadly.

"No. There is still a chance...If you are willing to take the risk..." Jun said.

"As long as I can play and I don't want any regrets...I'm willing to take the risk...What do I have to do?" Rena asked.
After what Jun said, her eyes are now beaming with hope.

"You just have wrap up your ankle correctly to compress the pain and you must not over strain yourself..." Jun said.

"Wrap it up correctly? How do I do that?" Rena asked.

"I can help you but on 1 condition..." Jun said.

"What is the condition?" Rena asked seriously.

"Until the next match...You are not to do any running or practicing..." Jun said.

"Ok...Anything else?" Rena asked.

"Just do your best..." Jun said with a smile.

Rena and Jun looked at each other and smiled. Rena then realized that she has something which she has been wanting to tell Jun.

"Actually Jun kun, I...." Rena said halfway but was interrupted.

"JUN! LET'S GO BACK!" Riku shouted.

"Just nice...1 minute left...Gomen Senpai, I have to rush back for practice...Let me know when is your next match and take care!"
Jun said and ran out the nurse office. Together with Riku, they dashed back to the basketball court.

Yuko and Rie then walked into the nurse office after the guys left.

"Rena san? Are you ok?" Yuko asked as Rena is hiding herself under the blanket.

"Rena Senpai? Are you in pain? Should I go get nurse Sensei?" Rie asked as she tried to pull the blanket off Rena.

"Rena san? Rena san? Moshi moshi?" Yuko called out.

Rena did not respond to their calls as she is angry with someone.

"Baka Riku...Why are you always interrupting?" Rena said in her mind.

Hello! Thank you everyone for the support!  :bow: :bow:
Here's chapter 26A! Enjoy!

Chapter 26A

1 week has passed since then. The basketball team managed to fight into the top 6 in their region after winning 4 more games.
The volleyball team also managed to get into top 8 after winning 2 more games. Today, both clubs are given a break from their practice.


- After school -

"ARGH...." Kuu said as he stretched.

"Finally...End of classes and no club practice..." Jun said.

"Gomen...You guys must be tired but still have to practice with me..." Acchan said.

"Not at all! We are having fun doing it together..." Kai said with a smile.

"Are you sure? But last night you said that..." Yuki said halfway but was silence by Kai's killer stares.

"Hey! I saw that! What's with that look you have? Don't you bully Yuki..." Sae said.

"Woo~ Sae is so protective! Don't be afraid Yuki! So...What did Kai say! What did Kai say!" Yuko said excitedly.

"My brains cells are dying? I can't do this anymore?" Acchan asked.

"Acchan! How did you know that?" Yuki asked as she is amazed.

"Kai always says that when he is really tired..." Sae said.

"Maybe we should rest for today..." Acchan nodded and said.

"NO! I am not tired at all!" Kai retorted.

"You don't have to force yourself...I know how to play keyboard...I can handle it..." Kuu said.

"NOOOOO! Don't take away my job! Concentrate on yours!" Kai said.

"Awww...Kai is so adorable..." Yuko said as she looked at Kai.

"Hey! Yuko! Look here! Don't look elsewhere! Your man is here!" Riku retorted.

"Aww...Riku-nyan is jealous? Kawaiiiii..." Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"Not again...When will this stop...Can we see something else?" Kuu asked.

"Hahaha...Let's just go to the music room and stop wasting time..." Jun said and carried his bag.

"Good idea! Let's go..." Kai said and followed Jun.

"Sure you don't need to get some rest?" Acchan asked Kai.

"I'm really fine! The competition is this week...We have to practice as much as we can so don't worry about me ok?"
Kai said as he pats Acchan's head.

"......" Acchan nodded as she blushed.

"Yuki...Are you tired?" Sae asked.

"I'm fine...Why?" Yuki asked.

"No...I'm just worried that you might have over strained yourself with all the practices..." Sae said.

"Don't worry...I will definitely ask for a break if I need one..." Yuki said with a smile.

"Good to hear that...Don't hesitate in letting me know ok?" Sae said.

"Hai..." Yuki said.

They then left the classroom and went to the music room.

AT THE MUSIC ROOM

- 1 hour later -

"Argh! I'm so thirsty...I'm heading to the canteen...Drinks anyone?" Kuu asked.

"I'm coming with you...I want to get something to eat..." Jun said.

"Knock knock"

"Who is it?" Sae asked.

"No idea...Please come in...It's not locked..." Kai said.

"Sorry for the intrusion..."

The music room door opened and they saw Rena outside the music room.

"Rena san!" Yuko said.

"I'm here to deliver some refreshments..." Rena said and lifted up bags full of drinks and snacks.

"Wow...Senpai you came at the right time..." Kuu said and quickly ran over to Rena to help carry the bags.

"Senpai...How did you know we are here?" Jun asked.

"Yuko chan told me...So I thought of dropping by to take a look..." Rena said.

"Hehehe...Rena chan asked me so I told her...Is it ok?" Yuko asked.

"Whats the point of asking it now when you already told Senpai..." Kai said.

"Hey! Don't be mean to Yuko...It doesn't kill to let 1 or 2 more people know..." Riku said.

"Arigato Riku-nyan~ Daisuki..." Yuko said and kissed Riku's cheek.

"Argh...Godness sake...Please don't make me waste the food I am eating..." Kuu said.

"Kuu...Even so, we have to carry on eating! It's their scheme to make us lose appetite so that they can eat more!" Jun said.

"Tsk...Yuko...They have found out our plans...We have less 2 onigiri to eat..." Riku said.

"Let's think of something else then Riku-nyan..." Yuko said seriously.

"No wonder I have been eating less whenever I am with them...Arigato Yuko and Riku...You helped me succeed in my diet plans..."
Acchan said cheekyly.

"Atsuko...Are you serious? I thought you actually gained weight..." Kai teased.

"Hey! You must be blinded by basketball...Thats why everything you see is round!" Acchan retorted.

"Yuki..Please don't go on a diet...I like the way you are..." Sae said and smiled at Yuki.

"Tsk...Sae is getting stronger each day with his sweet talks..." Riku said.

"Even if I want, Oka san won't let me...So don't worry about me going on a diet..." Yuki said.

"That's good...You must take care of your health and eat more..." Jun said.

"Arigato Dr Matsui, we definitely will heed your advice..." Sae said.

"Do you guys do these funny talks everyday?" Rena asked and laughed out loud.

"Almost...Everyday..." Kai said.

"Senpai? Are you ok?" Jun asked.

"My tummy hurts but in a good way...It's been so long since I have a good laugh..." Rena said as she tried to control her laughter.

"Arigato Senpai...You bought so much for us..." Acchan said as she munch on the sandwich.

"So Senpai...You are here to look for Yuko or...." Kai asked as he look at Jun.

"I'm here to show my support for Yuko and also...to properly thank Jun kun for his help..." Rena said as she look at Jun.

Rena looks like she have something important to tell Jun, seeing that Kai decided to give them so privacy time.

"Ooooo...Gomen Senpai...Please excuse me...I need to go to the washroom..." Kai said as he signalled the others to leave the room
together. He then walked out of the room.

"Wait up...I'm going too..." Acchan said and followed Kai.

"Wait for me...Let's go together..." Riku said and left with Yuko.

"Yuki...Why don't we go out for a little walk as change of pace..." Sae said.

"Ok...Let's go..." Yuki said and followed Sae.

"Ahh! Come to think so it...I need to call my girlfriend...She asked me to call her after school...Please excuse me..."
Kuu said and act to make a phone call outside.

All of them left the room except Jun and Rena.

"I wonder what's wrong with them..." Rena said.

"Senpai...It's obvious that they wanted to give us some private time..." Jun said in his mind.

"Maybe I should leave...I might be hindering your practice..." Rena said.

"Not at all...They just happened to have something urgent to do I guess..." Jun said.

"Really?" Rena asked.

"Yupp...They always suddenly have something they forgot to do..." Jun said with a smile.

"Ne Jun kun...Arigato..." Rena said.

"Didn't you already thank me with these?" Jun said as he lift up the can of soda and a onigiri.

"These are for doing me a great favor in Inter-high...Without you, I might really have to resign from the matches and I would
really regret it for the rest of my life..." Rena said.

"Then you are thanking me for?" Jun asked.

"The things you did...for me before..." Rena said.

"Before? You mean the melon pan coin purse? Didn't Senpai already thank me?" Jun asked.

"Not that...Way before...Since 2 years ago..." Rena said.

Jun finally get what Rena meant, she is talking about the things he asked Sae to help him.

"So...You knew about them already...Sae told you?" Jun asked.

"Yes...I've been wanting to tell you but I didn't have the chance..." Rena said.

"Well...All these are the past...So let's not talk about them..." Jun said.

"It's not the past yet! To me, it's still the present! The way Jun kun cares for me and always looking out for me!" Rena retorted.

"Senpai...What's the use of saying it now...Didn't we agree, not to mention it anymore..." Jun said sadly.

"I know...But that is before I know the truth...Ever since I know what exactly happened between the 3 of us...I have been thinking
through again and again...The words Miyazawa kun said, my own feelings and...you..." Rena said.

"Come to think of it...I'm really stupid...So stupid that I have to get Sae to help me out..." Jun said.

"No! You are so silly...Letting your friends have the chance to get near the person you love...If Miyazawa kun never reject my confession
and dates me...What are you going to do?" Rena asked seriously.

"I...I will give you 2 my blessings...If thats what makes you happy or Sae happy...I'm willing to..." Jun said and was interrupted by Rena.

Hearing that, Rena hugged Jun tightly. Jun was shocked by Rena's reaction.

"Baka! You should have fight for me! Why are you giving me away so easily! Am I not worth for you to fight for?" Rena cried out.

"Senpai...I..." Jun said.

"Why are you so nice to me but treat yourself so badly? Why are you willing to let others have something you like but got yourself hurt?
Why do I like you even when I told myself its impossible..." Rena cried out.

"Senpai...You like me?" Jun asked.

"I take back when I say I treat you like a little brother...I was just too comfortable being with you that I thought you are like a brother to me...
When I saw other girls talking to you...Talk about you...I just can't stand it...I like you! I like you! I like you Jun kun..." Rena cried out as she
released the hug.

"Really? Do you really mean it? Senpai...Even through I told myself to give up but I can't...I have always liked you...Even now...
I like you Senpai..." Jun said and wipe the tears from Rena's cheeks.

"Then why are you leaving...I thought you have given up on me..." Rena said.

"Leaving? What do you mean?" Jun asked.

"Medical Institute of America...Wasn't you going there to further your studies?" Rena asked.

"Who told you that?" Jun asked.

"I saw the files about this institute when I helped you picked them up...That time when I was in your
class during your free period..."Rena explained.

"That? It's a misunderstanding...That institute is for the medical students under my family's scholarship scheme...Every year I need
to help my Otou san looked at the different institutes and discuss which school should we sent the scholarship holders to..." Jun explained.

"So...I have mistaken? You won't be going there?" Rena asked.

"Even if I were to go medical school...I would opt for local colleage, so that I can still help out in my family business..." Jun said with a smile.

"Honto?" Rena asked.

"Hai...And after hearing you say you like me too...All the more I can't bring myself to go overseas, even if my parents wants me to..."
Jun said and hold Rena's hands.

"Yokata...Yokata...I always know there's something fishy with Rena san when she keep asking me about Jun!" Yuko said.

Jun and Rena was shocked to see the others standing outside the music room. They quickly move away from each other and act
as if nothing happened.


"We heard everything...No need to be shy..." Kuu said.

"What do you mean by everything?" Jun asked.

"From the point we went outside...We were always outside the music room..." Acchan said.

"You can't blame us...The door wasn't close and you didn't check the hallway before confessing to each other..." Kai said.

"AHHH! What should we do! Senpai! They heard everything!" Jun panicked as he looked at Rena.

"......" Rena is blushing.

"Obviously...Be responsible! Start dating already!" Riku said.

"Omedetou Jun and Rena Senpai..." Yuki said.

"Jun! Act fast! Don't let Rena san wait anymore!" Yuko said.

"Jun...You should know what to do...Don't miss this chance again and ask Senpai properly..." Sae said and pushed Jun to Rena.

Jun then walked towards Rena and hold her hands. Jun and Rena looked at each other as the blush heavily.

"Senpai...Will you be my girlfriend?" Jun asked.

"No..." Rena said.

"Huh..." Jun said, he was shocked that Rena would say no after she already told him her feelings.

"If you want to date me...You must stop calling me Senpai..." Rena said with a smile.

"What are you waiting for!" Riku said.

"Just call her name now!" Kai said.

"Re...na...Will you be my girlfriend?" Jun asked again, this time calling Rena by her name.

Without saying a word, Rena kissed Jun's cheeks as acknowledgement. The other cheered on loudly and were really happy for Jun.

"Ahem...May we have the 'NEWLY WEDS' to say a few words?" Kuu said.

"......" Jun and Rena is blushing.

"Hey! I was going to say that!" Yuko retorted.

"HAHAHAHA"

"Hey Kai...You are the last! You better work harder!" Sae teased.

"I thought we are talking about Jun and Senpai...Why did it become me again?" Kai asked.

"Maybe I should really consider other available choices..." Acchan said.

"THERE'S NO OTHER CHOICES! I am the ONE and ONLY choice left for you! Just wait till I win against Majisuka!" Kai said agitatedly.

"Kai...My turn to say...You are dooom!" Sae said.

"Looks like Acchan has you under her control fully...(giggles)" Yuki said.

"You eat too much katsudon...Thats why..." Kuu said.

"What has this got to do with katsudon!" Kai retorted.

Riku and Yuko looked at Kai, then they hugged each other.

"Hey! What's that supposed to mean? SAY SOMETHING!" Kai retorted after seeing Riku and Yuko's reaction towards him.

"Kai...You are too loud..." Acchan said.

"What! It's too late for you to regret! Just wait and see...I will definitely win against Majisuka and those hands of yours...
I will definitely hold them tightly than anyone else!" Kai said.

"Awww...Kai is so bold!" Yuko said.

"Yuko is the bad influence...No doubt..." Kuu said.

"Hey! That is call being true! Being true to oneself! Not bad influence!" Riku retorted.

"Kyaaa! Riku-nyan!" Yuko said and jumped on Riku.

"Riku...I would suggest you have your back checked...Yuki jumps on you everyday...Someday, she might break your back..." Jun said.

"Dr Matsui is predicting the future of Riku..." Sae said.

"That sounds like a lot of pain...Riku please take care..." Yuki said.

"Luckily, Acchan don't do that..." Kai said.

"I don't do that because Kai is too short...I might jumped over him and land on the floor instead..." Acchan said.

"Hey!" Kai retorted

"Hahahahaha"

"I think we have rest enough...Shall we continue?" Kai asked.

"Yeah! Let's rock on!" Riku shouted.

"Kyaaaa...Riku-nyan!" Yuko said.

"Can I stay?" Rena asked.

"Of course Senpai...Please give us your opinion on our performance..." Acchan said.

They resumed their practice and played for 2 hours. After that, they went out for dinner together before they head home.

Chapter 26B

Finally the day has arrived. Acchan's composing competition 'Round 3' selection. If Acchan is able to get through,
she will be in the finals. Kai and his friends managed to get Akimoto's approval to leave their practice early today.


AT AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

"Minami! We are here!" Tomonobu said as he waved at Minami.

"Gomen...I tried to rush here as soon as I finished the operation..." Minami said.

"You must be very busy...You seems to have lost some weight..." Haruko said.

"Minami is hardly at home these days...Always busy with her work in the hospital..." Tomonobu said.

"I heard from Atsu about Yuki chan...It must be tough on you..." Haruko said.

"It's not tough as long as Yuki is able to get well..." Minami said.

"Yes...Thats what we all hope to see for our child..." Haruko said.

"I think its about to start..." Shidou said. Shidou is Acchan's father.

"Anata you must have come here very early...Our seats are near the stage and the view is not blocked by any audiences..." Minami said.

"Actually...I abused my authority as the boss of this theater..." Tomonobu said.

"Anata! How could you do that?" Minami said softly.

"But...I want to get a good view to do a video recording...It's such a rare opportunity to see them perform together..." Tomonobu said
and showed Minami the video camera.

"Arigato Tomonobu san...If not for you, we won't be able to enjoy the performance...This view is really the best..."  Shidou said.

Meanwhile, somewhere around the audience seats. Rena and Mariko came to the theater to support their love.
The light's begin to dim and the curtains slowly draw away, showing the contestants.


The MC walked to the center of the stage and did a welcome speech. Later on, the MC told the audiences the contestants
will be performing 2 original songs with their friends. They are also required to associate each songs according to the 2 themes
provided, which is 'Friendship' and 'Graduation'.


After that, the MC announced the start of 'Round 3' of the Akiba Composing Talent Search and the contestants starts to present
 their original songs one by one.


- Backstage -

"What are you doing?" Kuu asked Jun as he saw Jun inserting something into his ear.

"Ear plugs...You wan?" Jun said as he offer Kuu the extra ear plugs he brought along.

"What for?" Kai asked and took the ear plugs look.

"It will be very noisy since we are at the backstage...I don't want the other contestant's music to affect my music sense..." Jun said.

"True...Do you have any extra?" Sae asked.

"I got for everyone...Here..." Jun said and took out all the ear plugs.

Everyone took one and insert into their ears except Riku.

"Riku-nyan! Don't you need this?" Yuko asked as she points at the ear plugs in her ears.

"It will totally spoil the mood...Oh! They are ready to perform!" Riku said excitedly as he points at the stage.

Everyone looked at the stage. It's the rock metal performer from previous round and they started to play.

"With all his friends now, it's louder than his previous performance...And seriously, the singing is worse too...with so many people
singing this time..." Kuu said.

"Yuki...Stay behind me...It's going to be very loud..." Sae said.

"But Sae, I can't see from behind your back..." Yuki said.

"You are interested in rock metal?" Acchan asked.

"I'm just curious about the way they play...Won't they get dizzy and throat sore from all the screaming, shouting and head shaking?"
Yuki asked.

"I think you can ask Riku..." Kai said as he points at Riku who is shaking his head with the music.

"Riku-nyan is so cool! I think I have fallen deeper in love with him..." Yuko said as she looks at the shaking Riku.

Hearing that, they looked at Yuko and Riku and shook their heads.

"With the ear plugs, its still so loud...I might become deaf without it..." Jun said.

The rock metal contestant performance ended and the contestants right after is all smoothing love songs like before.
So they took out their ear plugs.


"Hey can you hear me?" Kuu asked.

"Yeah...Loud and clear..." Kai replied.

"Riku-nyan~ Did you enjoy the previous performance?" Yuko asked.

However, Riku did not respond as he did not catch what Yuko asked him. Everyone looked at Riku.

"What should we do? Riku-nyan has become deaf!" Yuko said anxiously.

"That's why I say we should wear the ear plugs! Let me think! Let me think! What to do when a person is exposed to loud music..."
Jun said and started to think seriously.

"Yuki...You better stick to normal genre music...Metal rock is too extreme..." Sae said.

"I know now...Riku has just sacrificed for metal rock..." Yuki said.

"This is bad! We will be performing soon!" Acchan said worriedly.

"Don't worry, just leave it to me..." Kai said and stepped on Riku's feet.

"Ouch! What are you doing!" Riku said, trying to hold his pain.

"Did I do anything?" Kai asked.

"You just stepped on my feet!" Riku said angrily.

"No he didn't..." Kuu said.

"What! All of you saw what Kai did to me right?" Riku asked.

Knowing that Riku is playing a prank on them, the others act like they did not see anything.

"Riku-nyan! You are not deaf! Why didn't you respond when I talk to you?" Yuko asked as she pulls Riku's ears.

"Ouch! I was just joking with you guys...Stop pulling it! They are going to be pulled out!" Riku said.

"Don't worry...I don't know how to treat deafness but I know how to put ears back with super glue..." Jun said.

"GOMENASAI!" Riku begged Yuko for forgiveness.

After a long wait, finally its their turn to perform.

"Sae...I am so nervous..." Yuki said.

"Yuki...Just look at me if you are nervous...Remember, I am right beside you..." Sae said as he holds Yuki's hands.

"Are you ready?" Kai asked.

"Yes...Because I am not alone this time..." Acchan said as she smiles at Kai.

"Yuko...Let's rock the whole stage!" Riku said.

"Riku-nyan~" Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"Just watch me...This performance I am going to dedicate to you...Mariko..." Kuu said in his mind.

"Rena...Rena...Rena..." Jun chant Rena's name in his mind to remind himself to stay calm.

They walked to the center of the stage and got into their individual positions.

"May the performance goes smoothly for Atsu..." Haruko and Shidou prayed in their hearts.

"Yukirin...You are looking so beautiful today..." Minami said softly.

"Kai looks like a kid there..." Tomonobu said.

"Kuu...You better don't screw up the performance after sacrificing our dates for the practices you have to attend..."
Mariko said in her mind.

"Jun kun...Gambatte!" Rena prayed in her mind for a successful performance for Jun.

"Minna san, konnichiwa. I am Maeda Atsuko, number 14 from Akiba Academy. Performing with me today are my classmates
and also best friends from Akibi Academy. Kiite kudasai, 'Kinmokusei and Give me five' " Acchan said.

Acchan took a deep breathe and signal Sae to give the cue. Sae then started drumming to play Acchan's songs.

"KINMOKUSEI kaoru koro
kono michi wo sou aruku no ga suki da
doko kara ka futo kaze ni fukare hakobarete

When the sweet olive is fragrant
I love walking this street like this
A chance wind blows in from somewhere, spreading the scent
And I become aware of the season

Happy days
Can't continue forever
Days when we're feeling down
Eventually come around

No one is really
That strong
Sometimes just living
Becomes unpleasant

Losing myself,
While hunched over
I gazed downward
And trudged along
I became exceedingly downhearted

Those sweet olive flowers
They're blooming somewhere
I don't see a tree, but there's a pleasant scent around
I feel relieved

(Lyrics taken from http://stage48.net/studio48/kinmokusei.html (http://stage48.net/studio48/kinmokusei.html))

Despite being on stage to perform in front of a large crowd for the first time, Yuki still looks confident and is able to sing beautifully.
Minami teared as she is happy to see Yuki performing on stage.


"Anata...Arigato...I 'm glad I came and thank you for getting us such good view seats...Arigato..." Minami said.

"I'm glad I took Kai's advice..." Tomonobu said.

"What did Kai said?" Minami asked.

"Kai said I should abused my authority and get the best view...So that Oka san can see Yuki's performance clearly..." Tomonobu said.

"Kai..." Minami said and smiled while she looks at Kai.

"nando mo nando de mo yarinaoseba iinda
kono kisetsu mata yatte kuru darou
chikaku ni iru dake de nanika wo omoidasu
hana no kaori ni naritai..."

It's okay to try again over and over
This season will come again
Just by their nearness, you'll remember something
I want to become the scent of a flower

(Lyrics taken from http://stage48.net/studio48/kinmokusei.html (http://stage48.net/studio48/kinmokusei.html))

Right after the end of the tune, they started to play their next song with a faster tempo.
"GIVE ME FIVE!" Together they shouted and started to sing.

"Sakura no uta ga machi ni nagare
Atto iu ma datta wakare no hi
Kousha no kabe no sono katasumi
Minna de kossori yosegaki shita

Seifuku wa
Mou nugunda
Haru no kaze ni fukarenagara
Donna hana mo
Yagate wa chitte
Atarashii yume wo miru..."

The sakura song plays on the streets
The day of farewells comes in the blink of an eye
On the corner walls of the school building
Everyone secretly wrote their own messages

There's no need to wear uniforms anymore!
Being swayed amidst the spring wind,
All sorts of flowers scatter about
to find a new dream

(Lyrics taken from http://stage48.net/studio48/givemefive.html (http://stage48.net/studio48/givemefive.html))

The audiences are fired up and started to clap as they sing. Seeing that, Acchan and her friends are now enjoying a
view that they will never forget. This moment, their hearts are stringed together as one.


"Atsu..." Haruko said as she cried. She is happy for Acchan.

"Haruko...Atsuko right now is shining like a super star..." Shidou said.

"Hai!" Haruko said.

"Sugoi! Its like a real concert!" Mariko said excitedly as she looked around.

"Jun kun...Why are you getting cooler and cooler..." Rena said as she fixed her eyes on Jun.

"Tomo yo
Omoide yori

Deguchi ja naku

My friends, let's believe in
a tomorrow that's shining brighter than memories
So, I think graduation isn't an exit,
but an entrance
My friends, meeting you by chance
was the best
I still couldn't speak of those youthful days,
so thank you, with a high-five...

(Lyrics taken from http://stage48.net/studio48/givemefive.html (http://stage48.net/studio48/givemefive.html))

The whole theater is now filled with loud cheers and claps as they end their performances. There are even calls for an
encore performance for them as if they are performing a real concert. The girls hugged each other on stage while the
guys high fived each other, they were really happy that their performance is so well received by the audiences.


Soon it came to an end and they are having a short break to let the judges decide which contestants will proceed to the
next round. Kai and the others are praying hard at the backstage together.


"Atsu...Please let Atsu get selected..." Haruko prayed in her heart.

"Haruko...Acchan is really talented...I believe she will be selected.." Minami said.

"Arigato Minami...Let's hope for the best..." Haruko said with a smile.

"Tomonobu san...Did you record down the performance?" Shidou asked.

"Of course...I will get Kai to do the editing...After that, I will duplicate a copy for you..." Tomonobu said.

"Arigato...Sorry for the trouble..." Shidou said.

Among the audiences, Kai and his friends suddenly got themselves new fan girls.

"Kyaaa...Don't you think these 5 guys are totally hot?"

"The guy playing the keyboard is so kawaii!"

"The drummer is really handsome!"

"I think I'm in love...Especially the guy playing violin!"

"The 2 electric guitarist is so cool! Especially the shorter guy!"

Mariko and Rena who is sitting at the audience seat is fuming with jealousy.

"Get lost girls...That little man is mine!" Mariko said in her mind.

"Looks like I can't let my guards down..." Rena said in her mind.

Finally the time has come to reveal who will advance to the final round. The MC walked onto the stage with a card on his hand.

"Sorry to keep you waiting...I will announce the contestants who will proceed to the final round." The MC said.

Hearing that, each contestant's families and friends who is supporting them started to shout their number.

"Contestant number  4, 8, 14 and 23 will be able to advance to the final round! Let's us welcome the final contestants on stage!"
The MC said.

"Atsuko! Go on! The MC announced your number!" Kai said.

"Omedetou!" Everybody said and gave Acchan a push forward.

"Arigato minna...Arigato..." Acchan said and cried. She then walked towards the center of the stage with the other final contestants.

"Here are the final 4 for our Akiba Composing Talent Search! Let's give them a round of a applause for their spendid performances!"
The MC said.

"Omedetou! Atsu!" Haruko shouted.

"Acchan! Omedetou!" Tomonobu shouted.

"Arigato Oka san...Otou san...Minna..." Acchan said in her mind as she teared.

OUTSIDE AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

"Sorry to have troubled all of you in helping Atsuko's competition..." Shidou said.

"Not at all Uncle Shidou...We all have lots of fun..." Kai said.

"Aunite Haruko...Are you alright?" Yuki asked.

"Arigato gozaimasu...I am fine..I am just so touched by the performance..." Haruko said.

"Mohh..Oka san...You are going to make me cry again..." Acchan said.

"Yukirin...You are so beautiful on stage..." Minami said.

"Kai...Well done! I am so proud of you..." Tomonobu said.

"Arigato Oka san...Thank you for coming here to see us despite your busy schedule..." Yuki said.

"Kai...Arigato..." Minami said.

"Ehhh...Oka san...Why are you thanking me?" Kai asked.

"Hahaha...I told Minami about the you know what...." Tomonobu whispered to Kai. Telling him about his suggestion to
abused authority to get the seats.

"Oh that! Hahaha...It was nothing..." Kai said.

"Sorry Yukirin and Kai...Oka san has a meeting to attend and needs to go back to the hospital..." Minami said as she looks at her watch.

"Really?" Yuki asked.

"Let me send you there then...And Kai, go have dinner with the others to celebrate the victory..." Tomonobu said.

"Uh ok..." Kai said.

"Atsuko...Oka san and Otou san are going back first...Go on and celebrate with your friends..." Shidou said and took
Acchan's guitar from her.

"Arigato Otou san and Oka san..." Acchan said and hugged her parents.

Acchan and Kai's parents then left together, leaving the young ones behind. They are eager to know about the new face in their group.

"Care to introduce?" Kai asked as he looks at Kuu and Mariko.

"Shinoda Mariko desu...Kuu's girlfriend...I'm glad to be able to meet up with you guys finally..." Mariko said.

" Erm...Mariko? Are you not feeling well?" Kuu asked.

"I'm fine..Why would you ask that?" Mariko asked.

"You looks like you're in pain...Your face..." Kuu said.

"That's not a face in pain...That's a 'Back off! Get somebody else and don't come near mine' face..." Mariko said as she pull Kuu towards her.

"Huh?" Kuu said.

"(giggles) I think I know what is that..." Yuki said and locked arms with Sae.

"What's that?" Sae asked.

"I think I get what you mean too..." Acchan said as she looked around her. There are alot of girls checking out the guys in their group.

"Riku-nyan!" Yuko said and hugged Riku tightly.

"Woah...Yuko...I can't...breathe...Too...Tight!" Riku said and tried to loosen Yuko's hug.

"Erm...Rena? What's...wrong?" Jun asked. He is blushing heavily as Rena locked hands with Jun.

"It's PERFECTLY NORMAL to HOLD HANDS with your BOYFRIEND..." Rena said.

"Wow...Bold...Another victim fallen to Yuko's bad influences..." Kai said.

"Hey! That is a good influences! We should always fight for our love" Yuko retorted.

Just then, a few girls approached Kai as he is the only person not 'occupied' by any girls.

"I really like the way you play the song..."

"Can you teach me how to play keyboard?"

"Can I know your name?"

Upon seeing that, Acchan gave Kai a kiss on his cheek and stared at the girls.

"I just want to let you know...Bye..."

"I think its better for me to enrol into a music school to learn...Bye..."

"Erm...Sorry...I got the wrong person...Bye..."

Everyone is shocked by Acchan's reaction. While Kai is blushing like a red tomato.

"Wow..." Kuu said.

"This girl is really awesome...I think we can become good friends..." Mariko said.

"They should just start dating already..." Yuki said.

"No...They should just get married already..." Sae said.

"Why didn't anyone approach me?" Riku asked.

"I will bite them! Nyaaaaaaa!" Yuko said.

"Acchan is fired up finally..." Jun said.

"I would do the same if anyone gets near to Jun kun..." Rena said.

The guys looked at girls and then looked at each other. In their mind, they finally came into a conclusion,
that is 'Do not mess with their girlfriends' and 'We are forever off limits from now on'.


After chasing all the honey bees that is after the guys, they went to their favorite cafe to have their dinner.

"So...They are dating..." Takeru said as he looked afar at Kai and his friends.

Chapter 26C

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

They managed to get a big table to sit everyone down and quickly made their orders. They then introduce themselves to Mariko.

"I'm so hungry...I want to eat now..." Kuu said.

"When are you never hungry? Just wait for the dinner to be served..." Mariko said.

"I did not eat my lunch...So I am very very hungry..." Kuu said and rest his head on the table.

"That's rare for you to skip meals...Are you on a diet?" Mariko asked.

"OF COURSE NOT! I got the perfect body...Why would I do that...We rushed here as soon as possible for the performance after
our practice...So we didn't have enough time to eat..." Kuu said.


"Perfect belly?" Mariko teased.

"HEY! I did not say belly! It's body!" Kuu retorted.

Everyone is looking at Kuu and Mariko. They have just discovered another side of Kuu, which is not so cool like what he usually is.

"Hey! Say something! Don't just look! Help me out here!" Kuu said as he realized the others are watching free show.

"Why? I think you are doing great there...Finally we get to see something new...Today Riku and Yuko can rest..." Kai said.

"Hey! What do you mean by that! Our love never rest!" Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"That's disgusting..." Kuu said.

"Wow...A really bold girl...I like..." Mariko said.

"Are you serious? That Yuko?" Kuu asked.

"Kuu...Not many girls dare to show their love out so openly...That's admirable of Yuko chan..." Mariko said.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Kuu asked.

"Knock"

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?" Kuu asked. Mariko knocked on Kuu' head.

"Where has the cool headed Kuu gone to...It's so obvious his mouth has bitten a landmine..." Kai said.

"They say love turns a person stupid...I think it's true...We better stay as the way we are now and don't date..." Acchan teased.

"Hey! Don't you break your promise!" Kai retorted.

"Wait till you can fulfil your promise!" Acchan said.

"I think the both of you are already stupid long ago since the promise started..." Sae said as he shook his head.

"HEY!" Kai and Acchan retorted.

"Sae...Don't say that even if its true..." Yuki said.

"Yuki! Don't support him!" Kai and Acchan said.

"Wow...These 2 have good chemistry as if they were twins..." Mariko said.

"Yes...They are a package of fools in love but binded by promises..." Riku said.

"Kyaaa...Riku-nyan is so poetic!" Yuko said.

"Riku...I think you and Yuko are of higher level than Kai and Acchan..." Jun said.

"IT'S DIFFERENT!" Riku retorted.

"What do you mean?" Rena asked.

"I will tell you next time...Their story is rather complicated..." Jun said.

"Next time? Why not now?" Yuko asked.

"Yuko...Obviously Jun wants to spend QUALITY TIME just with Senpai...So he used us as an excuse..." Riku said.

"Jun...You are so crafty!" Yuko said.

"Hey! I don't mean it that way!" Jun retorted.

"Jun kun...So you don't like to spend time with me?" Rena asked sadly.

"OF COURSE I LIKE TO SPEND ALL MY TIME JUST WITH YOU RENA!" Jun shouted.

Everyone looked at Jun, including the cafe customers.

"Is he proposing?"

"I think its a confession...They looks like high school students..."

"Kids these days are so bold..."

Hearing the gossipers words, Jun is embarrassed and tried to hide his face from the others.

"We should consider stop coming here again..." Kai said as he remembered a similar incident that happened to him at this cafe.

"Agree...I think the cafe staff might take us as their regular entertainers..." Sae said.

"You guys always do that?" Mariko asked.

"They take turns...(giggles)" Yuko said.

"We really are going to stop coming here? But i really this place..." Yuki said.

"This cafe has so many wonderful memories of us...I like this place too..." Acchan said.

"This cafe is the first place I hang out with Jun kun too..." Rena said.

"Sounds like we have a entertaining roaster...I hope I'm not planned inside..." Riku said.

"As long as Yuki likes it, we can come here as often as you like..." Sae said.

"That's wonderful memories for you girls...Our is embarrassing moments..." Kai said.

"Are you regreting giving me the flowers?" Acchan pouted.

"Of course not! I might be regretting not getting you some today..." Kai said as he pinched Acchan's cheeks.

"You can always go get some now since we are still waiting for our food..." Kuu said.

"Flowers?" The girls said and looked at their boyfriend with beaming eyes.

The guys stared at Kuu as he had just said something that is landing them in trouble.

"Ehh...I think our dinner should be here anytime soon..." Kuu said as he noticed he had just said something he shouldn't say.

"The food is not here yet...Why don't you go with Kai to help him GET some FLOWERS..." Mariko said.

"The flowers I got is always asking me to get well soon..." Yuki said and signed.

"Riku-nyan~ Riku-nyan~" Yuko is whinning, hoping Riku would understand.

"I never receive any flowers before..." Rena said sadly.

"I thought I would be able to get some today after the performance too..." Acchan said sadly.

"OK! I get it!" The guys said and went out of the cafe together.

"Hahahahaha"

"That Kuu is digging his own grave...That should teach him a lesson or two not to speak without thinking..." Mariko said.

"But thanks to Kuu...I get to receive some flowers finally from Sae..." Yuki said happily.

"I wonder what flowers Riku-nyan will give me..." Yuko said.

"Any flower will do...As long its given by the person you loves..." Rena said.

"I wonder if they are able to get some...Since we asked for it suddenly..." Acchan said.

"Mariko san...I always wanted to meet you! Ever since Kuu told us about you..." Yuko said.

"That Kuu? He would actually talked about me? That's rare, since he always keep things to himself..." Mariko said.

"Mariko san must be really special to Kuu...He looks so happy whenever he talks about you..." Yuki said.

"Really?" Mariko asked with a smile on her face.

"He is more cheerful after telling us he is in a relationship with you..." Acchan said.

Just then, the guys came back to the cafe.

"Gomen...These are all we can get from the florist..." Kuu said.

The guys presented a rose to their girlfriend.

"Arigato..." Mariko said and kissed Kuu's cheek.

"......" Kuu is blushing as he smiles.

"This is the best flower I have ever received...Sae...Arigato..." Yuki said.

"You will receive even better ones from now on...I promise..." Sae said and kissed Yuki's forehead.

"Ri..ku...(sniff) nyan...(sniff)...I will...definitely...sleep with it...(sniff) everyday..." Yuko said as she tried to hold her tears of joy from falling out.

"Just do whatever you like with it...As long as you are happy. But be careful of the thorns on it..." Riku said as he pats Yuko's head.

"Arigato Jun kun...I will definitely take good care of it..." Rena said as she displayed a wide smile.

"Rena...Please let me know what flowers you like...I will try to get them next time..." Jun said shyly.

"Gomen...Not much choices left so I can only get this for you..." Kai said.

"It's ok...It's the thoughts that counts...Arigato Kai..." Acchan said with a smile.

Now, the cafe is filled with gloomy and hostile aura. The couples around them are staring at them but Kai and his friends did not
realize the situation. For they only have eyes on the person they loves.


"Tenchou...We should consider selling flowers here..." The waitress said.

"That's a great idea! Since we have so many couples coming here everyday..." The tenchou of the cafe said.

The waitress then served them their meals and they continued to chat over dinner.

"So Atsuko...When will be the finals?" Kai asked.

"About 3 weeks from now..." Atsuko said.

"Will there still be a theme to follow? Let me know if you need any help!" Yuko said.

"Arigato...But I think I can handle it as I just have to come out with 1 original song and I can use back 1 song I had
performed previously." Acchan said.

"Thats great!" Yuki said.

"Hope there won't be any last minute changes..." Jun said.

"Well...Just let us know if it happens again...We can think about it together..." Kai said.

"Arigato...I think they are pretty firm on the arrangements this time...So it should be fine..." Acchan said and smiled.

"Acchan...Your songs are really good...I think you can go pro already..." Mariko said.

"I really like your performance most among the other contestants..." Rena said.

"Rena san...Are you talking about Acchan or Jun?" Yuko teased.

"Yuko chan!" Rena said as she blush.

"Definitely talking about Jun..." Kuu said.

"It's very obvious..." Riku said.

"That's sad...Did I get selected because of you guys?" Acchan asked.

"I admit I was totally into Jun kun during the performance but your original songs is really the best among the other contestants!"
Rena said agitatedly.

"Awww...Rena san so kawaii~" Yuko said.

"Good for you Jun..." Kai said.

"......" Jun is blushing.

"So good to be young..." Mariko said.

"So now then you realized that you are old?" Kuu asked.

"Ouch!" Kuu cried out when Mariko pinched his cheeks.

"Kuu...How can you say that to Mariko san..." Yuki said.

"Serve you right..." Sae said.

"Kuu still have a long way to know a woman's heart..." Riku said.

"Seems like you know alot..." Kai said.

"Riku-nyan! How many woman's heart have you know? I'm not your only one?" Yuko asked seriously.

"Ehhh... Other than my Oka san and the girls here...Of course just you Yuko...Just you!" Riku said.

"One wrong word...Riku will get bitten by Yuko..." Jun said.

"What about you Jun kun? Before we are together, there's SO MANY girls drooling over you...So didn't you fancy anyone else?" Rena asked.

"Those girls are from Riku's ex fan club...I never really talk to them since there's only 1 person that I like..." Jun said shyly as he looks at Rena.

"Wow...Jun is leveling up!" Kuu said.

"You should worry about yourself...You are still in progress...You wasted so much time stucked at the same level for so long..." Mariko said.

"Hey! I did not!" Kuu retorted.

"I get what Mariko san mean...You really still have a long way to go...Even through you managed to confess..." Riku said.

"Riku-nyan! You sound like a pro! Can you kindly fill me up on the details? How many girls have you confessed to!" Yuko said.

"Just you! I swear! Just you Yuko!" Riku retorted.

"I think...Riku and Kuu should just stop talking...Their grave is getting deeper..." Sae said.

"Really? Actually Sae, what about you?" Yuki asked.

"Yuki! Of course I never ever have other girls! I only have the heart for you all these years...." Sae said.

"Of course I know...I just want to see your panicking face...(giggles)" Yuki said.

"Sae...You are doooom..." Kai said.

"Shut it!" Sae said.

"Hahahahaha" Kai and Acchan laughed at them.

"Seems like we are being laughed at..." Kuu said.

"They are so free spirited now...Wait till they got into a relationship..." Riku said.

"Hey! What's that suppose to mean!" Kai said.

"Who says we are going to be in a relationship?" Acchan teased.

"Hey! I don't care! You are already my girlfriend in an unofficial way!" Kai said.

"......" Acchan is blushing.

"Kai...Don't worry! We will definitely do our best to make it official!" Sae said.

"Osu!" The guys said.

"Kai...I will definitely cheer you on..." Yuki said.

"You better make it quick...Before I turn to somebody else..." Atsuko teased.

"But there's nothing I can do to bring forward the schedule! I don't plan those!" Kai retorted.

"Mohh...Don't worry...Just as you always keep the promises to me...I definitely will keep my promises to you..." Acchan said.

"Aww...Riku-nyan...I will always keep my promises to you..." Yuko said and hugged Riku.

"Hey! Don't steal away my moment with Atsuko!" Kai retorted.

"Hahahahaha"

They finished their dinner and headed home for a good night rest after a tiring day.

I was really busy these days and was not able to update as often as what I used to :panic:
I will try to update as soon as possible! Please continue to look forward to future updates! :cathappy:


Chapter 27A
2 weeks has passed. The basketball team has finally made it to the final round and will be facing Majisuka Academy as expected.
Kai and his friends are putting all their time and effort into practicing whenever they can. The volleyball team however, only made it to be top four
in the region and that marks the end of Rena's high school volleyball career.


- After school -

AT THE MUSIC ROOM

As Yuko and Rena has less practices these days, they would hang out at the music room after school to wait for their boyfriend.


"Yuko...Can you look elsewhere? Your face is distracting me..."  Acchan said as she looks at Yuko who is displaying a stoning face with her
mouth wide open.

"At least close your mouth..." Rena said.

"Yuko is like a cyborg...No Riku no energy..." Yuki said as she poke Yuko to check her reaction.

"Riku-nyan...I wonder...Did he miss me? Should I go to the court and find him?" Yuko asked as she came out from her daze.

"DON'T GO!" The girls shouted in harmony.

They knew if Yuko goes there, she will definitely be a distract to the basketball team. They want their boyfriend to be able to train
without distraction.


"Yuko...Just endure 10 more days till their finals..." Acchan said.

"Yuko...I'm sure Riku misses you... But now,he is trying his best now in practice and also enduring the pain not able to spend more time
with you..." Rena said.

"Yuko...You should store all your energy now and cheer as loud as you can during their finals...Riku definitely would be happy to hear
you cheering for him..." Yuki said.

"Hehe...Guess I have no choice...I will just endure for 10 more days..." Yuko said.

"Safe..." The girls thought in their minds.

"Maeda san...Are you ready for the competition this coming saturaday?" Rena asked.

"Mohh...Rena Senpai...Just call me Acchan like them...I am not going to answer you anymore if you call me Maeda san again..." Acchan pouted.

"Gomen...I'm too used to call you Maeda san..." Rena said.

"Rena san...You know Acchan around the same time as Jun...How come you can call Jun so easily by his name but not to Acchan?" Yuko asked.

"Yuko...Acchan and Jun are different..." Yuki said.

"How different is that? Don't tell me...Rena san don't like Acchan? Rena san only call the people she loves by their name? Is that the difference?"
Yuko asked seriously.

"So...Rena Senpai hates me...No wonder she can easily call Yuko and Yuki by their names...I must have do something that makes Senpai hates me..."
Acchan said.

"No! I don't hate you! I'm just too used to address you as Maeda san thats all!" Rena said agitatedly.

"(Giggles) Senpai...Don't worry! Of course I know... I'm just kidding with you!" Acchan said.

"Mohhh...Don't scare me like that..." Rena said.

"Look at the time! Acchan...You should leave now..." Yuki said as points at the clock in the music room.

"Ahhh...I almost forgot from all the preparation...Got to go! See you later at the cafe then!" Acchan said as she quickly pack her belongings.

"Leave the guitar here...I will help you carry to the cafe later...Or should I say...Kai will be carrying it there later...(Giggles)" Yuko said.

"Mohh...Stop it Yuko...See you later!" Acchan said with a smile and put down her guitar. She then left the music room with her bag.

"Will she be able to make it in time?" Rena asked.

"Should be...There's still 1 hour left before the rehearsal starts..." Yuki said.

"Awww...How I wish I can go in the theater and see her perform...Acchan would not disclose the new song...Maybe I should sneak into the
theater later..." Yuko said.

"Yuko! Don't do that! Just wait till this Saturaday...It's definitely worth the wait!" Yuki said.

"Not fair! Yuki already know the songs Acchan is going to play!" Yuko pouted.

"Well...Yuki san is helping out...So she definitely will have to heard it..." Rena said.

"Ahh! Yuki! Why don't you play it for us as a sneak preview?" Yuko asked with her beaming eyes.

"Gomen...That song is too special...I can't play it without Acchan's permission..." Yuki said.

"NOT FAIR!" Yuko retorted.

"Special? Is it something to do with Kai?" Rena asked.

"Well...You have to find out yourself..." Yuki said with a smile.

"Not fair! I like Acchan too!" Yuko shouted.

"(Giggles) Looks like Riku got himself a rival..." Yuki said.

"Hey! It's different like! I still LOVE Riku-nyan the most!" Yuko said.

"We know that...You don't have to repeat it everyday while you wait..." Rena said.

"Well...These days...My patient is being tested...I have to wait for Riku-nyan to end his training and competition...Now I even have to wait
for Acchan...My favorite singer~" Yuko said.

"Sounds like Acchan really got herself a real fan..." Yuki said.

"I like her songs too...I think I can consider myself a fan too?" Rena said.

"Me too...Can't wait to see Acchan's performance...Hope it comes soon..." Yuki said as she look outside the window.

- 4 hours later -

AT FOR-TEA-EGG CAFE

"Here!" Kuu said.

"Gomen...Work just ended...Everyone order already?" Mariko asked.

"No...Still missing 1 more person..." Kuu said softly as he points at Kai.

"Oh...Acchan...Where is she? Wasn't she with you guys?" Mariko asked softly after she looked around the table for the missing person.

"She went for her rehearsal...We have not hear from here since..." Kuu said.

"Anyone called her? Did she leave a message?" Mariko asked.

"We have been trying to reach her through her cellphone for nearly an hour..." Jun said softly.

Hearing their conversation, Kai decided to go find Acchan.

"I should go find her...Her rehearsal should have ended an hour ago...Atsuko would definitely contact any of us if she were to be late..."
Kai said as he displayed a worried face.

"Kai...Just wait a little while more...Maybe the organizer stretched the rehearsal time?" Sae said.

"I think Acchan should be here soon...Let's just wait a little while more..." Yuki said.

"No...I have this very bad feeling since our practice ended...I really can't wait anymore...You guys can wait here...Call me if Atsuko is here..."
Kai said and stood up.

"Hey Kai! Wait...I will go with you...The girls can wait here..." Jun said.

"Let's all go instead since we don't know what time Acchan will be here...It's not nice to stay at the cafe too long too..." Mariko said.

"Agree...The more the better...We'll help too..." Kuu said.

"Arigato..." Kai said and left with his friends to search for Acchan.

- 1 hour later -

"Ringggg"

Kai took his cellphone out from his pocket to see who the caller is.

"Atsuko! Are you ok? Where are you now?" Kai asked agitatedly.

"Kai...(sniff)..."

"Who is this?" Kai asked as the voice over the phone is not Acchan.

"Its (sniff)..Auntie Haruko..." Haruko replied.

"Auntie Haruko? Whats going on? Why are you using Atsuko's cellphone to call me?" Kai asked seriously.

"Atsu..She is now...(sniff) in the hospital...She's...(sniff) in a coma..." Haruko said and cried.

Kai dropped to his knees and lost grip of his cellphone. Seeing that, Sae pick up the cellphone and answer the call. He too was shocked
by the sudden news.


"Hey...What's wrong...Who is on the line?" Jun asked.

"Its...Its...Auntie Haruko..." Sae said after ending the call.

"What happened?" Riku asked.

"Did something happened to Acchan?" Yuko asked agitatedly.

"She's...at the hospital...and...in a coma..." Sae said and everyone is shocked by the news.

"KAI! KAI!" Kuu called out.

"We should all hurry to the hospital!" Riku said agitatedly.

"Ac....chan..." Yuki said while squeezing her chest with a pain look. Yuki then fainted.

"YUKI!!!!" Sae shouted and ran over to catch the falling Yuki.

"Yuki!" Everyone shouted except Kai who is still dazed.

"Yuki! Wake up! Please don't scare me...Yuki!" Sae cried out.

"Jun! What should we do?" Riku asked.

"Yuki...Please don't scare me...Open your eyes..." Yuko said and cried.

Jun did a quick assessment on Yuki to check her condition and realised her pulse and breathing is very weak now.

"We better hurry to the hospital! Riku and Kuu please take Kai with you while I help Sae to look after Yuki...Let's go now!" Jun said.

"What's going on Jun? Is Yuki going to be ok?" Sae asked seriously.

"Lets not talk now...We got to hurry to the hospital now..." Jun said.

"I will drive you all there then...Wait for me here while I drive over..." Mariko said and ran to get her car.

"Jun...Please help Yuki san..." Rena said with tears in her eyes.

"Rena...Don't worry...I will definitely try my best..." Jun said as he wipes away the tears of Rena's.

"Damn...Why must this happen now?" Riku asked.

"Riku-nyan...." Yuko cried and hugged Riku.

"You guys better head to the hospital first...We can take care of things here..." Jun said.

"Ok then...We will leave Sae and Yuki to you...We'll meet there..." Kuu said and tried to lift Kai up.

"Keep in touch..." Riku said and ran over to help Kuu with Yuko.

Kuu, Riku, Yuko and Kai then took a cab to head towards the hospital first while Jun and the others wait for Mariko's ride. After a while,
Mariko drove her car and picked up the guys and drove straight to the emergency unit to have Yuki check by the doctors.


AT THE HOSPITAL

- ICU WARD -

"Auntie Haruko!" Yuko said as she ran towards Haruko who is standing outside Acchan's ward, looking at Acchan through the glass panel.

"Yuko chan..." Haruko said while wiping her tears.

Kuu and Riku dragged Kai towards Haruko and Shidou. They realised a familiar figure is sitting at the waiting area seats not far from them
but did not pay further attention to it.


"Kai...Get a grip! Acchan needs you more than ever..." Kuu said.

"Kai...Acchan would be very sad if you are like this...Get up and go talk to Acchan..." Riku said as he and Kuu pushed Kai to towards the glass
panel of Acchan's ward.

Kai slowly regained his composure and looked up. What he saw made him teared badly. Acchan is lying on the bed with breathing tubes inserted.
He wanted to call out her name but was unable to do so.


"Is it a asthmatic attack? But how come its so serious this time?" Kuu asked.

"The doctor said if Atsu were given her inhaler or sent to the hospital earlier...It...won't come to this situation..." Haruko said and cried.

"If only I was there with her...I should have go pick her up after practice...Why didn't I do that..." Kai blamed himself.

"Kai...Atsu will be fine...I believe she will definitely pull it through..." Shidou said with a cracked voice as he pat on Kai's shoulder.

"What happened? (Sniff) Acchan was fine just then when she say she is going to the rehearsal...." Yuko cried out.

"Yuko..." Riku said and hugged the crying Yuko tightly.

"Asthma? Maeda san has asthma? What have I done...." Takeru reprimanded himself.

"What did you say and why are you here?" Kuu asked the familiar figure sitting at the waiting area.

"I...I...Gomenasai! I am really sorry...I did not expect it will turn out this way..." Takeru said and stood up with a bow.

"What do you mean?" Kai turned to look at Takeru and asked seriously.

- Flashback 6 hours ago -

"Arigato gozaimasu..." Acchan said with a bow to thank the event coordinators. She then left the theater.

OUTSIDE AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

"Maeda san!"

Acchan turned to look and saw that familiar figure, but she decided to ignore him and walk away.

"Wait up! Maeda san!" Takeru shouted and ran to stop Acchan from walking away. Takeru managed to catch up and grabbed her hand.

"Let go! What do you want from me! Didn't I already told you its impossible between us?" Acchan said with a annoyed voice.

Ever since Acchan started to come for her rehearsal, Takeru would rush over to the theater after his practice to visit Acchan. Takeru
heard from his friends in Akiba Academy that Kai and Acchan are close but they are not dating. So he decided to confess to her
but was turned down.


"I just want to talk to you! Why can't you give me a chance to get to know each other better since you and Takahashi are not dating?"
Takeru asked seriously.

"I already told you that I and Kai will be dating soon...Will you please stop pestering me?" Acchan asked.

"Soon? When? You can't even tell me the exact day...So, until you and Takahashi are officially together...I still have the right to go after
you..." Takeru said seriously.

"I already told you lots of times its impossible! I don't have any interest in you and I am not someone that is easy to take care of...
Why can't you understand?" Acchan asked and shaked off Takeru's gripped.

"Of course I won't understand! You wouldn't give me a chance to understand you at all! How can you be so sure that I am unable to
take care of you?" Takeru retorted.

"I don't want to argue with you...I got to meet my friends and I am running late..." Acchan said and walked off.

"Hey! We are not finished here! I demand an answer from you right now!" Takeru said and grabbed Acchan's arms forcefully.

"Itaiiii!" Acchan said.

"I don't care! You are not leaving until you tell me the main reasons!" Takeru shouted.

"I already told you alot of times! Why can't you understand? I really have to go...Let go my arm!" Acchan said agitatedly and tried to
shake off his grip.

"NEVER!" Takeru shouted and tighten his grip.

Takeru grabbed Acchan's arm tightly and did not realise Acchan's uncomfortableness as he is fill with anger.

"Let...me...go....Kai...Kai...." Acchan said while grasping for air.

"Why him? Why won't you give me a chance?" Takeru shouted angrily and looked at Acchan.

Acchan's face is pale like a sheet of paper and is perspiring heavily while grasping  for air. Takeru freaked out when he saw Acchan and
let go his grip. Acchan is too weak to stand, fainted and fall to the ground. Seeing the situation, Takeru was unable to do anything and just
stood there. The event coordinators who happened to walk out of the theater saw the situation and quickly call an ambulance to send
Acchan to hospital.


- End of flashback -

Hearing Takeru's explanation, Acchan's parents is now filled with anger and confronted him.

"Why are you doing this! What wrong have Atsu done to you?" Shidou asked angrily and pushed Takeru against the wall.

"My Atsu...(sniff) You are so horrible...." Haruko cried out.

"Acchan already told you to back off! Why are you still trying to steal somebody else girlfriend!" Yuko cried out angrily.

"Just get out of here now! You are not welcome here!" Riku said angrily.

"Leave now..." Kuu said.

"Gomenasai...Honto ni Gomenasai!" Takeru said and bowed down.

Kai walked towards Takeru while he wiped away his tears. Riku and Kuu worried that Kai might turn violent against Takeru and standby
 to hold Kai back if needed.


"To your question to Atsuko... We made a promise to start dating after winning against your school...You get your question answered...
Please leave now...Let us have some peace now..." Kai said and turned to look at the 'sleeping' Acchan.

"You get it now? Just leave them alone..." Riku said seriously.

"You can never break the bond between Kai and Acchan...You can't handle it..." Kuu said.

"Leave now...I don't want to see you again..." Shidou said and hugged the crying Haruko.

"Gomenasai..." Takeru said and bowed. He then left.

AT THE EMERGENCY WARD

Yuki's heart suddenly stopped beating and the doctors is trying their best to resuscitate her now while the others wait outside the ward.

"Why is this happnening?" Sae asked himself and banged his fist against the wall.

"Sae! Stop that!" Jun said and tried to stop Sae from banging his fist repeatingly against the wall.

"Yuki san..." Rena cried.

"I believe she will be able to pull through...We have to have faith in her..." Mariko said as she comforts Rena.

"Sae!" Tomonobu called out as he ran towards them with Minami.

"Uncle...Gomenasai...I did not take good care of Yuki even when I promised..." Sae said and broke down.

"What happened? Where's Kai?" Minami asked anxiously.

Jun then told Tomonobu and Minami what happened.

"Sae...Everything just happened so suddenly...Don't blame yourself..." Tomonobu said with tears in his eyes.

"Matsui kun...Can I ask a favor from you?" Minami asked.

"Of course...What can I do for you, Auntie Minami?" Jun replied.

"Can you help me go see if Kai and Acchan is ok?" Minami asked.

"Sure...I will go right away..." Jun said. He then went to the ICU ward with Rena and Mariko.

"Sae...I know you have tried your best...Not only us...Yukirin knows too...I believe Yukirin will definitely be able to pull through...
She is much stronger than you know..." Minami said while she comforted Sae.

"That's right...Let's believe in Yuki..." Tomonobu said and wiped away his tears and pat on Sae's shoulder.

Just then, Dr Watanabe walked out from the emergency ward. Seeing that, Minami quickly walked towards her.

"Mayu...How's Yukirin?" Minami asked seriously.

"We managed to resuscitate her and she is fine...for now...We will get her warded and run more tests on her..." Dr Watanabe said.

"Will she be ok? When will she be able to get discharged?" Tomonobu asked.

"I'm afraid at this stage now...I can't give you a concrete answer until we have the test done and get the full report on her status..."
Dr Watanabe replied.

"Mayu...Tell me the truth...Is Yukirin condition deteriorating?" Minami asked seriously as she looked at Dr Watanabe.

Dr Watanabe tried to hold back her tears when she talked to Minami, as it is hard to break the bad news to her best friend.

"Gomen...I can't give you the concrete answer yet until further test is done...Please wait till..." Dr Watanabe said halfway but was interrupted.

"Stop that! You don't have to say that again...I am a doctor too! I know it now...Yukirin is not doing well...Why are you not telling us the truth..."
Minami said and cried.

"For now, we will have Yuki admited and do more diagnostic tests...Gomen...I have to go for my rounds now...Please excuse me..." Dr Watanabe
said to Tomonobu and left.

After that, Yuki was warded. The nurse then told Tomonobu and Minami her room and they went to visit her with Sae.

- Yuki's ward -

"Oka..san...Otou...san..." Yuki called out weakly when she opened her eyes and saw her parents.

"Yukirin...How are you feeling?" Minami asked as she stroke her hair gently.

"Are you ok?" Tomonobu asked.

"Gomen ne...I caused Oka san and Otou san to worry for me again..." Yuki said sadly.

"As long you are our daughter...We will not stop worrying about you..." Minami said and planted a gentle kiss on Yuki's forehead.

"Arigato Oka san...Otou san..." Yuki said with a smile.

Realizing Sae is standing outside the room, Yuki asked Tomonobu to get Sae to come inside.

"Door open"

"Go on in..." Tomonobu said as he open the door.

"No...I'm fine here...Uncle and Auntie must have a lot to say to Yuki...Don't mind me..." Sae said.

"Sae..." Yuki called out.

"Yuki wants to talk to you...Go on in..." Tomonobu said and pull Sae into the room.

"Have a good chat...Oka san is going to go talk to the doctor...I will come back later..." Minami said and left with Tomonobu, leaving Yuki
and Sae in the room.

"Sae...Why are you standing so far away?" Yuki asked.

Sae can no longer hold back his tears. All his worries and fear started to fall out as tears.

"Gomena sai...I can't do anything...I can't even protect you...I am so useless...Gomenasai..." Sae said and cried.

"Sae...Please don't cry...Gomen ne...I caused you to worry...Sae...Come here please...If you stand so far away from me...I will be scared..."
Yuki said with tears forming around her eyes.

Hearing that, Sae walked towards Yuki and sat beside her on her bed. He then wipe away Yuki's tears.

"Gomen...I am not a good boyfriend...I always caused saddnes to you...making you cried and I can't do anyting for you..."
Sae said while looking down.

"No...Sae is the best boyfriend...Do you know? I was able to come back to you because Sae never let go of my hands when I was unconscious...
I can feel it...Sae kept the promise of never letting me go...I was not lost because of you..." Yuki said.

"Yuki...I love you...I am afraid of losing you...I don't want to lose you..." Sae said.

"Sae...I love you too...Please continue to hold on to me and don't let me go...Promise you will hold my hand tightly so I won't be lost..."
Yuki said and teared.

"I promise...I will always be with you...I never let go of your hands and bring you back..." Sae said and planted a kiss on Yuki's lips.

The next few days, the others continues to go back to school and attend practices. However, Kai condition is not that well as he have to
juggle between school, practice and visiting Acchan or Yuki at the hospital.


At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"Beep"

Everyone stopped their practice and gathered around Akimoto.

"Takahashi..." Akimoto called out.

"Hai..." Kai replied.

"You can stop for today and you don't have to come for practice anymore until you get your matters sorted out..." Akimoto said.

"Sensei..Why? What did I do wrong? The final match is next week! I can't afford to stop the practice now!" Kai said seriously.

"The current you now is not in the right condition to take part...I don't want to see you get into any injury...I am taking you out until you can
prove to me you are capable of performing back to your standard..." Akimoto said.

"You can't do this! Hey guys! Say something will you?" Kai shouted.

"Kai...I agree with Sensei...You should rest..." Riku said softly.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Kai shouted.

"Kai! Get a hold of yourself! We are doing this for your own good..." Kuu said.

"WE? What do you mean by that?" Kai asked seriously as he looked at his friends.

"We suggested to Sensei and....Sensei agreed with our suggestion...that you should take a break until the match...You are spending all your
 time practicing or going to the hospital...Doing that without getting enough rest...We are worried about you..." Sae explained.

"Shut it! You are just worried that I will be a burden to the team right? Now you see me as a hinderance in winning against them! I can't believe
you guys will do that...You know how important this match is to me...yet you choose to do this to me..." Kai said agitatedly.

"KAI! We never thought that way at all! We just have your interest at heart! We don't want to see you have any regrets if you continue to do
things your ways and got yourself injuried!" Jun retorted.

"Are you cursing me?" Kai asked angrily and pulled Jun's jersey.

"KAI! Stop that! Why can't you understand!" Sae shouted and tried to break Kai's grip on Jun's jersey.

"STOP YOUR NONESENSE! Takahashi...Pack your belongings and get out now! Don't interrupt our practice...GET OUT!" Akimoto shouted.

Hearing that, Kai stormed out of the basketball court with his belongings.

"Kai!" Riku shouted and wanted to run after him.

"Let him be! Go back to practice!" Akimoto said.

"But Sensei...Kai..." Kuu said worriedly.

"Is our captain of Akiba Academy a weakling?" Akimoto shouted.

"NO!" Everyone shouted.

"We shall let our captain take a short break and shock him with our progress!" Riku said as he wipes his tears.

"I believe Kai would be able to come back here stronger...We have to keep up and not lose to him...Lets not slow our captain down
when he comes back!" Sae said with tears around his eyes.

"OSU!!!!" Everyone shouted and went back to their practices.

OUTSIDE AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

"Gomenasai...Minna..." Kai cried out in his heart while he listens on from outside the court. He then left the school ground and head to the hospital.

Chapter 27B

AT THE HOSPITAL

- Yuki's ward -

Kai sat down beside Yuki who is sound asleep. He looked at Yuki and starts to wonder about the things that has happened so far.
Within months, his life is like a high speed roller coaster. Thinking about the possibilities that he might lose the 2 person who he cares
deeply, tears started to roll down his cheeks unknowingly.


"Kai... It's going to be alright..." Yuki said.

"Yuki...Did I disturb your sleep?" Kai asked and was startled by Yuki's sudden awakeness. He quickly wipe away his tears and sit straight up.

"Not at all...I was about to wake up anyway...Why are you here so early today? Is everything ok?" Yuki asked worriedly.

"Yea...Everything...is fine so far...Don't worry..." Kai replied with a forced smile.

"It's not...Kai...You looked so tired...It must be hard for you since me and Acchan is hospitalized...And Acchan is...Kai...Please take care of
yourself...We will be sad and worried if you ever fall sick..." Yuki said with tears forming around her eyes.

"Arigato...I know..and understand fully about your concerns...I will definitely take care of myself...So don't worry..." Kai said with a smile.

"Kai...Please don't be angry with Sae..." Yuki said.

"What do you mean?" Kai asked as he is shocked by Yuki sudden mention about Sae.

"Sae told me yesterday...That he has proposed to Sensei to take you out from practice...." Yuki said.

"So you knew the reason why I am here long ago..." Kai said softly.

"I believe its not easy for Sae to do that...Even for the others...It must have pained them as much as how it pains you...Please don't be
angry with them..." Yuki said and started to tear.

"Yuki...Please don't cry...I admit I was angry with them just now...But I know they have my interest at heart...So I'm not angry at them
anymore after thinking through...Please don't worry about us..." Kai said and passed a tissue to Yuki.

"Honto?" Yuki asked as she wipe her tears away.

"Of course...It's going to be ok...Trust me..." Kai said.

"Ok...Kai...How is Acchan today?" Yuki asked softly.

"I have yet to go see her but I...I think she is still taking a lazy nap..." Kai said sadly.

"Door open"

"Konnichiwa..." Haruko greeted as she enters the room with Shidou.

"Auntie Haruko and Uncle Shidou...Konnichiwa..." Yuki greeted.

"Konnichiwa..." Kai stood up and bowed.

"How are you feeling today?" Haruko asked as she walked towards Yuki with Shidou.

"I'm much better today...Arigato...Thank you for visiting me, Auntie Haruko and Uncle Shidou..." Yuki replied.

"Not at all...Yuki...Actually...We have a favor to ask of you..." Haruko said.

"What is it?" Yuki asked.

"Me and Uncle Shidou hope that...You can...help Atsu deliver her performance tomorrow..." Haruko said while holding back her tears.

"Me? But this is Acchan's competition...Will the event coordinators even allow it?" Yuki asked seriously.

"It's...impossible...Yuki has yet granted the permission to leave the hospital grounds...So...I think she...will not be able...to help Atsuko
even if the event personel allows..." Kai said sadly.

"The event coordinators just visited Atsu and told us that they allow us get a replacement to help Atsu deliver her performance since her
songs are already cleared to take part...Onegai...This is Atsu's dream...We really hope you can help us out...Since you are the only 1 who
knows what songs she will be performing...Onegai..." Shidou said and bowed.

"Uncle Shidou! Please don't do that! I will do it...It will be a pity if such wonderful songs is not delivered and I am glad if I can be help to
Acchan...Please don't bow to me..." Yuki said.

"NO!" Minami said while she stands at the door entrance to Yuki's room.

"Oka san..." Yuki said.

"Minami..." Haruko said as she turned to look at Minami.

"I am really sorry but I have to reject this for Yukirin...She is not well enough to leave the hospital yet...Hope you understand..." Minami said.

"I'm really...sorry to ask of this so suddenly...But its just for a while...I promise to send Yuki back as soon as she finish the performance...
Please help us out in this..." Haruko said.

"Haruko...I hope you understand...I can't afford to let Yukirin take more risks...She is...not able to go out as freely as she used to now...
I am really sorry but we really can't help you out in this..." Minami said and bowed to Haruko and Shidou.

"Kai...Do something...This is not for me but for Acchan! Help me convince Oka san!" Yuki said to Kai.

Kai looked at Yuki and Minami, he is sandwiched between them and does not know what to do. Either way will cause hurt to one of them.
After thinking for a while, he made his decision.


"Gomenasai...I...agree with Oka san...We really can't let Yuki take anymore risk until she gets her heart transplanted...Uncle and Auntie...
Gomenasai..." Kai said and bowed to them.

"KAI! BAKA! I HATE YOU!" Yuki shouted and covered herself with the blanket, crying.

Haruko and Shidou understands fully their worries, they knew the chances are low but at least they tried. So they decided not to bother
them any further.


"Gomen...We made a demanding request...We have to speak to the doctor so we will take our leave here..." Shidou said sadly and left with Haruko.

Seeing how angry Yuki is now, staying here would only cause her to be more angry at him. Kai decided to go visit Acchan and let Yuki cool off.

"Uncle and Auntie...Is it ok for me to come with you? I would like...to know more about Atsuko's condition..." Kai said.

"Thats really nice of you...Kai...Sure...Let's go together..." Shidou said as he pats Kai's back.

"Arigato...and gomenasai...I wasn't of any help..." Kai said.

"Kai...We have to thank you instead...Always helping us take good care of Atsu...Arigato..." Haruko said.

"I'm sure our lazy girl will be bored of sleeping soon...So lets go see what the doctor has to say for now..." Shidou said with a smile.

The 3 of them then went to the doctor's office together.

"Yukirin..." Minami called out but Yuki is too angry to respond.

"Oka san have work to do..Have a good rest and I will come to see you tomorrow..." Minami said sadly and left the room.

THE NEXT DAY MORNING
"Yuki...Yuki...Wake up..."

Yuki opened her sleepy eyes to see who is calling her.

"Kai...What are you doing here?" Yuki asked while rubbing her sleepy girls.

"Hurry...Get changed quick..." Kai said softly and passed a bag of clothes to Yuki. He then stood at the entrance door to 'guard'.

Yuki look into the bag and Kai. Instantly, she knew what Kai is up to and quickly got up from her bed and went to change at the bathroom.

"Done...How do we get out now?" Yuki asked softly.

"Don't worry...I have my ways...Follow me closely..." Kai said softly and lead Yuki out the escape route.

"Kai...How come you know the place so well?" Yuki asked softly while staying close behind Kai. She is amazed that they are able to escape
so smoothly without alerting anyone yet.

"I asked Jun...Shhh...Hide here...There's somebody there...I am going to check it out...Wait for my signal to come out..." Kai said and
proceed forward alone.

Yuki hid herself behind a big flower pot and waited patiently for Kai's signal. Kai seeing the coast is cleared, wave to Yuki and Yuki quickly
walked towards Kai with light steps.


"Lets go...Just a bit more and we are out of the building..." Kai said softly and continued their escape plan.

AT THE BACK OF THE HOSPITAL

"Yuki...Get on quick!" Kai said as he pushed out his bicycle from the bushes.

"Ok!" Yuki said and quickly ride on the back of the bicycle.

As soon as Yuki gets on the bicycle, Kai pedaled as fast as he could. Hoping to be able to reach the theater in time for the performance.

"Kai..." Yuki called out.

"Hmm?" Kai asked.

"Gomenasai..." Yuki said.

"For?" Kai asked.

"I thought you don't care about Acchan and me...And I said hurtful things to you..." Yuki said.

"I know you wanted to help Atsuko and that you are just saying it out of anger...Don't worry...I am not angry with you and I will never be...
Instead...I want to thank you...Arigato Yuki, for helping Atsuko fulfilling her dream..." Kai said.

"No..I should thank you Kai...For believing that I am able to help Acchan...I really want to help Acchan no matter what...Because this song
is so important to her...And to you..." Yuki said and started to tear.

"I get it...I will listen to it carefully later...Please do your best..." Kai said.

"Hai..." Yuki said and hugged Kai's back tightly.

OUTSIDE AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

"KAI! Over here!" Kuu shouted.

Kai quickly ride over towards Kuu and the others. Everyone is waiting for them, including Acchan's parents.

"Minna.." Yuki said with surprised.

"I called them to meet here...We need more supporters don't we?" Kai said and slowly slow the the ride.

Sae then ran towards the stopped bicycle with Yuki's guitar.

"Let's go inside now...We have asked the events coordinator to put Acchan's performance last..." Sae said and lead Yuki to the performers
waiting area as instructed by Kai.

"Let me...Take..a break for now..." Riku said and took over Kai's bicycle. He then helped Kai secure it at the bicycle holding area.

"Here...Its going to be cold inside...Don't catch a cold..." Yuko said and offered Kai a towel to wipe off his sweat.

"Arigato..." Kai said and wiped himself dry with the towel.

"Kai...Arigato...Is it really ok?" Haruko asked.

- Flashback -

PREVIOUS DAY

Kai and Acchan's parents came out of the doctor's office after the update of Acchan's condition.

"Yokatta..." Haruko said while she wipe her tears.

"Atsu is really trying her best...She will definitely wake up soon..." Shidou said and hugged Haruko.

The doctor told them that Acchan can be transferred to a normal ward as she can now breathe on her own. She is also showing signs of
consciousness whenever they talked to her. Hearing that their daughter's conditon is getting better, they are now feeling hopeful and looks
forward to see Acchan again.


"Omedeto...Uncle Shidou and Auntie Haruko..." Kai said.

"Kai...Thank you for accompanying us today...You have been such a great help ever since Atsu is hospitalized..." Haruko said.

"I'm glad that I am of some help to you...I also hope I can help Acchan out in any ways I can..." Kai said.

"I know...I'm sorry that we made such a demanding request just now..." Shidou said.

"Uncle...Please don't say that...You are just trying to make Atsuko's hardwork not to go waste..." Kai said.

"Kai...Thats very sweet of you...Arigato..." Haruko said.

"Ringggg"

Shidou looked at the caller name displayed on his cellphone and quickly pick up the call to answer.

"Moshi...Maeda desu..." Shidou said.

Its a call from the event coordinators, calling to confirm about Acchan's performing items for tomorrow.

"Regarding the competition tomorrow we would like to..." Shidou said sadly.

"Continue as planned with a subsitute..." Kai said loudly.

"Kai..." Haruko and Shidou looked at kai.

Kai nodded with a smile and Shidou conveyed their wish to continue with the performance as suggested by the event coordinators.

"Are you sure Kai? Wasn't you against it?" Shidou asked after ending the call.

"That was when Oka san is around and out of respect...When she is not around...I do things my way...Plus...I can't let Yuki get upset any
further...Yuki will definitely be able to do it and I don't want her or Atsuko have any regrets..." Kai said.

"Arigato Kai...But are you sure about this? I don't want to get you in any trouble..." Haruko said.

"Don't worry about it Auntie Haruko...Things will work out as it goes on...Having been through so much...I believe Oka san will definitely
understand it somehow..." Kai said.

That night, Kai messaged his buddies to tell them his plans and instructed them what to do. They were all surprised but were really glad to
receive the message. For Kai is back to normal, that really loosen their worries towards Kai.


- End of flashback -

"Don't worry Auntie Haruko...I will handle it...Lets go in now..." Kai said.

"Kai...Pssst..." Jun called out and pointed Kai's back, signalling danger behind him.

Kai turned and saw his parents. He was shocked and did not expect that doomsday will come his way so fast. He is now in a
state of panic and trying to find an excuse to say.


"Oka san and Tou san...I...I..." Kai said panicking.

"I knew you would definitely do this...Let's go Anata..." Minami said.

"Ok..." Tomonobu said and led Minami towards the theater entrance.

"Oka san...Please let Yuki perform! Onegai!" Kai said and bowed.

However, Minami ignored Kai's plea and continue to walk towards the entrance.

"Oka san! Onegai!" Kai shouted.

"Shhhh...Kai! Can't you understand? We are running late for the performance...Lets all go in now..." Tomonobu said.

"Tou san?" Kai is now puzzled.

"Your Oka san knew you would definitely help Yuki out...So she asked me to come here with her..." Tomonobu said.

"So you mean Oka san is ok with Yuki performing? Why didn't she say so earlier! We could have come here together and I don't
need to cycle all the way from the hospital!" Kai retorted.

"Oka san say that is to punish you for going against her and your words about Yuki performing..." Tomonobu said.

"Oka san said that? Seriously?" Kai asked.

"Anata! Hurry up!" Minami say annoyingly as she can't enter the theater without the tickets.

"Arigato...Honto ni arigato..." Haruko and Shidou said and bowed.

"Don't be...Acchan is also like our daughter...I'm glad Yuki is able to help out in anyway she can...I really got to go...If not Minami
might change her mind..." Tomonobu said and ran towards Minami quickly. They then entered the theater first.

"Yokatta..." Rena said.

"Yupp...Everything turns out well like what you hoped..." Jun said to Kai.

"Seriously..." Kai said.

"Looks like your Oka san is really powerful..." Mariko said.

"She definitely is...And I know Kai's is like his Oka san...Thats why she can foiled his plot...Looks like you have a long way to go..." Kuu said.

"Hey...Its already very tiring and hurting for me...Stop adding and rubbing salt on me..." Kai retorted.

"Didn't Yuko just passed you a towel? Use it to wipe them off before the wounds hurts..." Riku said.

"Kyaaa...Riku-nyan is so caring!" Yuko said.

"Stop it! I better go inside first before I start to have more wounds...Uncle and Auntie...Lets hurry inside..." Kai said went walked
towards the entrance with Shidou and Haruko.

"Hey wait for us!" Riku said and followed Kai behind with the others.

AT AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

They quickly find their seats and sat down. Preparing themselves for Yuki's performance with light prayers in their heart. Hope that
everything will go smoothly.


"Ladies and gentlemen, before we let the last contestant perform her piece. I would like to make a short announcement...No. 14
Maeda Atsuko san unfortunately is not able perform today due to her sudden hospitalization..." The MC announced.

The audience were shocked by the announcement and started to comment.

"It's such a pity! I'm here for her performance..."

"Are they serious?"

"If she is not performing...Who is the last contestant? Did they call in other person to fill up the space?"

"They can't just get anyone to fill up the space...They should get someone to perform her piece and not let her effort go wasted!"

"Hope she is ok..."

"I'm a fan of Maeda san...Hope she is ok..."

Acchan's parents, Kai and his friends were really touched by the words said by the audiences.

"Atsuko would definitely be so happy if she knows so many people likes her music..." Kai said.

"Arigato...Arigato..." Haruko said with tears flowing out from her eyes.

"Yokatta ne...Our daughter is so well loved by everyone..." Shidou say and hugged Haruko.

"In view that this competition is about composing original music, the events coordinators decided to have Maeda Atsuko's songs
performed by her friend in her stead..." The MC said.

The theater is now filled with loud cheers. Almost everyone is glad with the arrangement.

"Without further ado, lets welcome Takahashi Yuki..." The MC said and left the stage.

Yuki slowly walked to the center of the stage and got herself ready.

"Minna san...Konnichiwa...Watashi...Takahashi Yuki desu...Kite kudasai..."Flower" and "Migikata"...By Maeda Atsuko.." Yuki said and started
to sing "Flower".

"Kokoro no katasumi
Flower
Chiisana hana ga saita
Ano hi no negai wa
Yukkuri to
Hinata no naka saita..."

In the corner of my heart
Flower
A little flower bloomed
My wish from that day
Slowly
Bloomed in the sun

(Lyrics taken from http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html (http://www.kiwi-musume.com/lyrics/maedaatsuko/singles/flower/flower.html))

Everyone in the theater were immersed with Yuki's sweet and smoothing voice.

"Yuki...Gambatte..." Sae looked at Yuki by the side from the backstage.

"Sugoiii...Yuki is like Acchan...I think I am her fan now..." Yuko said.

"Yuko...How can you be a fan girl so easily?" Riku asked.

"But they are both really great singers...The same song now have a different touch to it..." Jun said.

"Somehow...I feel that Acchan is right there singing with Yuki..." Kai said.

"Yes indeed...Acchan is also trying her best in her own way...Hope that they will win this competition..." Kuu said.

"With so many of us cheering them on...I believe even the judges feels the same way as us..." Mariko said.

"Yes...I believe so too...Acchan's song has this effect to string everyone together..." Rena said.

Yuki finally finished performing the first song and starts to play the last piece.

"omoidasu yo ima mo...

I remember, even now...
The summer I found love...
On the road where the blue passion flowers
overflowed from a spot of sun

In the clearing sky
the fluffy cumulus clouds
quietly multiplied in the blink of an eye
Why did I feel uneasy?
Even now, in the place I am and in the future

I tilted my head towards
your right shoulder,
leaning it against you slightly
I felt relief in just that action
and was happy

When things went badly
and I was bitter or sad,
just your listening to my grumblings
was a wonderful thing

The two of us, cuddled close quietly
on the porch of a house
as a sudden evening shower tumbled down,
worked out various things and laughed,
and even the rain became fun

Sometimes I'd rest on
your right shoulder,
and even when I had worries,
I could always be comforted
by your warmth

Should I even think about those times
that glimmered under each sky?

Even now, the two of us
seem to be walking together...
I tilted my head towards
your right shoulder,
leaning it against you slightly
I felt relief in just that action
and was happy

So beloved, so heartbreaking
Ah, that summer

(Lyrics taken from http://stage48.net/studio48/migikata.html (http://stage48.net/studio48/migikata.html))

Kai listened carefully every word Yuki sang. He knew it a confession song from Acchan to him through the lyrics. Thoughout performance,
tears were rolling down from his eyes and in his mind, he repeatedly said 'I love you' to Acchan. Hoping his feelings will get conveyed to Acchan.
The others and some of the audiences also teared. They were really moved by the song.


"Arigato gozaimasu..." Yuki said as she stood up to bow after finishing the performances.

The theater is now fill with thunderous cheers and everyone stood up and clapped for Yuki. They were even shouts of thanks to Yuki and Acchan.

"You really should see this Atsuko...You better wake up soon..." Kai said.

"Omedeto...Atsu...Everyone here loves your songs...Yokatta yokatta..." Haruko said.

"I'm so proud of you Atsu...I'm so proud of you..." Shidou said and teared.

They waited patiently for the judges to make their decision. Finally the time has come to reveal who will champion. The MC walked onto the
stage with a card on his hand.


"Sorry to keep you waiting...I will announce the champion for Akiba Composing Talent Search..." The MC said.

Hearing that, everyone in the audience seats started to shout Acchan's name. Haruko and Shidou were really touched and cried uncontrollably.
Kai and the others were amazed and burst out their tears of joy.


"YES! The champion for Akiba Composing Talent Search goes to...MAEDA ATSUKO!" The MC shouted.

"Yuki!" Sae said and hugged Yuki tightly.

"Acchan did it! Acchan did it! Omedeto Acchan..." Yuki cried out.

"Lets have Takahashi Yuki san represent Maeda Atsuko san and say a few words! Takahashi Yuki san please!" The MC said.

"Yuki...Go on..." Sae said and released the hug.

"But...What should I say? I don't what to say..." Yuki said panickingly.

"You know what to say...Since you are always with Acchan...I'm sure you know what Acchan wants to say...To Kai..." Sae said.

"Ok..." Yuki said and took a deep breathe to prepare herself. She then walked to the stage center.

Everyone stopped their cheers when they saw Yuki at the stage.

"Arigato minna san...I'm really glad that I can help my best friend present her music...First of all, I want to thank the wonderful event host of this competition...Thank you for not letting Maeda Atsuko's effort goes to waste with your kind arrangement..." Yuki said and bowed.

Everyone clapped and cheered.

"I also want to thank my brother...Kai...For taking the risk, just to fulfil this selfish wish of mine...Of wanting to perform in Maeda Atsuko's stead
and because of his selflessness...Both of our wishes came true...To our parents who are here today...Arigato...Thank you for believing in us and
always supporting us even when we are so selfish...Arigato..."  Yuki said.

Everyone clapped and cheered.

"Kai...I hope you remember every word of the song...Because that is what Acchan wants to tell you badly...I will leave the rest to her...Acchan
will definitely be ok...Lastly, thank you everyone here for your support towards Maeda Atsuko's music! Arigato gozaimasu!" Yuki said and bowed.

Everyone stood up once again to cheer and clapped for Yuki. The event organizer then went up the stage to present the champion trophy to
Yuki and Yuki also performed the songs again to celebrate the win.


OUTSIDE AKIBAHARA MUSIC THEATER

Everyone waited patiently outside the theater including Acchan's parents. Kai, his parents and Shidou are inside the theater with Yuki and Sae to
settle some administration stuff.


"Shall we go to the hospital right away to tell Acchan the good news?" Kuu asked.

"Of course! She would definitely be so happy to hear about it!" Riku said.

"Arigato...Atsu is really lucky to have all your support..." Haruko said.

"Auntie Haruko...Don't say that...I think we are luckier...Acchan is really a friend that I can't complain about...She is always supporting us in every
way..." Yuko said.

"Arigato..." Haruko said. She  is really happy to know Acchan has so many friends who genuinely cares about her.

"What is taking them so long?" Jun asked.

"They should be out here any minute I guess..." Rena said.

Just then, Sae carried Yuki out the theater with Kai, his parents and Shidou following behind. Yuki has fainted once again after the event ended.

"Oh my god..." Riku said and ran with the other towards them to see if they can help in anyway.

"Anata! Hurry get the car here!" Minami cried out.

"Wait for me here...I will be right back!" Tomonobu said and ran as fast as he could to his car.

"What's going on?" Jun asked.

"Yuki suddenly...Felt pain and...fainted...Its all my fault! Why did I come out with this stupid idea!" Kai said and hit his head.

"Kai! Stop it!" Kuu said and tried to stop Kai from hitting himself.

Just then, Minami fainted too as she is overwhelmed by what happened.

"Auntie!" Riku and Jun quickly ran over to catch the falling Minami.

"OKA SAN!" Kai quickly rush over to Minami.

The situation is now chaotic and Jun quickly reorganized everyone.

"Yuko and Aunite Haruko...You will help take care of Auntie Minami... Rena...Please assist me in helping Yuki...Lets sent Yuki to hospital
 as soon as Uncle Tomonobu drives over...Uncle Shidou and Mariko san...Please send Auntie Minami to the hospital with the others..." Jun said.

"Ok...I will drive over right now..." Shidou said and went to get his car.

"Ok..." Mariko said and went to drive her car over.

They then quickly got into the respective vehicles and drove to the hospital.

AT THE HOSPITAL

- Acchan's ward -

Tears were flowing out from Acchan's eyes. Seeing that, the nurse quickly informed the doctors and they quickly made assessments
 on Acchan's condition.

Chapter 28A

AT THE HOSPITAL

- ICU WARD -

Yuki is lying on the bed with tubes inserted. Everyone is waiting for the doctors to finish their assessments. The atmosphere is really gloomy now.

"It's my fault...It's my fault...I should have listened to Oka san..." Kai reprimanded himself continously.

"Kai...Nobody...Expect this to happen...Yuki...Yuki will be very sad if you continue to reprimand yourself..." Sae said while trying his best to hold his tears.

"Yuki..." Yuko said and cried in Riku's arms.

"I believe Yuki will be able to get through..." Riku said and hugged Yuko tightly.

Tomonobu is really broken now with Yuki and Minami down at the moment. He simply sat on the waiting area seat and did not say anything.

"Gomenasai...I really don't know what to say...Tomonobu...I am really sorry for my selfish request..." Shidou said.

"Gomen...Honto ni...Gomenasai..." Haruko cried out.

"Don't be...I...believe...Yuki...Is already prepared when she...made this decision...It's...nobodies fault..." Tomonobu said with tears in his eyes.

"Door open"

Dr Watanabe walked out from the ICU with her team of doctors. She then walked towards Tomonobu.

"Takahashi san..." Dr Watanabe called out.

Hearing that, Tomonobu quickly stood up and looked at Dr Watanabe. Everyone also snapped out from their dazed and gather to listen
to what the doctor has to say.


"How is my daughter?" Tomonobu asked seriously.

"I'm sorry to have to deliver this news to you...Yuki san's heart tissue is deteriorating fast suddenly...We need to arrange for a heart transplant
as soon as possible..." Dr Watanabe said seriously.

"Do we have a donor now?" Tomonobu asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid to say...Not at the moment...But we will try our best to get a suitable donor as soon as possible..." Dr Watanabe said.

"Please! Save my daughter! Please!" Tomonobu said and begged in his knees.

"Uncle!" Sae and Riku tried to stop the agitatedly Tomonobu.

"Kai! Say something!" Kuu said as he shakes Kai, hoping to get him out from his dazed.

The girls are now crying non stop while the others are trying hard to hold their pain in as they know they need to support Tomonobu and Kai
now. The doctors then left.


"Its all my fault..." Kai said and stood up and walked away from their sight.

"Kai...Where are you going?" Kuu asked.

"Kai..." Jun called out.

After settling Tomonobu and the girls down, Jun and the others became worried about Kai. So they decided to go look for Kai together.

"Uncle Shidou and Auntie Haruko...Please help look after Uncle Tomonobu..." Jun said and went to look for Kai with Sae and Riku.

OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL

- Garden area -

They searched everywhere they could and finally found Kai, sitting near the garden fountain.

"Kai!" They called out and ran towards him.

"What are you doing here? Let's go back..." Jun said and tried to pull Kai up.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kai shouted and shook off Jun's hands.

"Kai! Stop your nonesense! Come with us now!" Kuu said and tried to pull him up.

"LET ME GO! DON'T BOTHER ME! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Kai shouted.

"TAKAHASHI KAI! YOU GET BACK UP RIGHT AWAY! HOW CAN YOU LEAVE UNCLE, AUNTIE AND YUKI THERE! THEY NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!"
Sae shouted.

"Just back off! Leave me alone will you!" Kai shouted.

"Kai! Wake up will you...Stop wasting your time here!" Riku said.

"I can't face my parents or Yuki...It's my fault things turned out this way...ITS MY FAULT! HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO BRING MYSELF TO LOOK
AT THEM EVER AGAIN!" Kai shouted.

Hearing that, Sae can no longer hold his anger and punched Kai in his face.

"BAKA KAI! Wake up will you? Did anyone blame you now? We did not even point fault at you and why are you directing all the fault to yourself?
Don't use it as a excuse to make yourself feel better! You this jerk!" Sae said angrily and delivered another punch.

"Sae! Stop it!" Kuu said quickly stopped Sae with Riku before Kai gets more punches.

"Let him beat me! Don't let him stop! I caused Yuki to become like this!" Kai said and tried to provoke Sae further.

"You jerk! Why can't you understand!" Sae shouted and wanted to punch Kai again.

Just then, Jun pushed Kai into the water fountain. He then pushed Sae into the fountain too. Kuu and Riku was shocked but did not say anything.

"Stop it will ya? You think you are the only one who is hurt?" Jun cried out.

"Jun..." Kuu said.

"We are worried too...To the extend if we can...I believe any of us here is willing to share our heart if its possible...But things is not that simple!
Didn't you listen to what Yuki said just now? Didn't you see how happy she was when she knows she is able to help Acchan fulfil her dream? Did Sae
ever blame you? Did Uncle and Auntie ever blame you? Answer is NO! I believe if time were to go back...You or we will still make the same choice!
Because its something not regrettable!" Jun exclaimed.

"Yuki...Knows her condition best...Yet she chose to take the risk...Because she strongly believe in us...That we will always be there for her...She trust us...
That if things ever happened...We will definitely be there...be there to save her...Thats what she told me while waiting at the backstage just now..."
Sae said as he stood up.

"..." Kai teared.

"Kai...Look at us...Don't you trust us? You can rely on us! Don't bottle up everything by yourself...Please rely on us...Please..." Riku said and
started to cry.

The 5 guys cried their hearts out at the fountain, sharing the pain and burdens in their hearts together.

A few days has passed. Since then, Kai has been coping himself in his room. He did not attend school or visit Yuki and Acchan. He even refused
to see anyone, including Tomonobu.


At AKIBA ACADEMY CLASS 2-4 HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

"Do you think Kai would come today?" Yuko asked.

"That idiot...I thought after reasoning out with him he would definitely stand up on his feet again...I am so disappointed with him..." Kuu said angrily
and bang his fist on the table.

"He did not even go visit Yuki and Acchan since then...I should have punch him more...Punch his senses back to place..." Sae said.

"What do we do now? Today is the match...Kai is not with us...That is really demoralizing..." Jun said.

"That airhead! We can still do it without him and win it! When Acchan wakes up, I am going to tell her not to date this coward and badmouth him!
He is not serious in keeping his promise to Acchan..." Riku said angrily.

"Riku-nyan...Don't do that..." Yuko said sadly and tears started to form around her eyes.

"Ehhh! Yuko! I was just joking! Its a joke! My bad!" Riku said.

"Ding dong..."

"We'll talk later..." Sae said and went back to his seat.

They quickly settled down and prepare for their lessons. After hours of lessons,  they finally ended their lessons.

- After school -

At AKIBA ACADEMY BASKETBALL COURT

The time where the basketballers have to go for their final match is finally here. All of the basketball team members and their supporters
gathered at the basketball court, preparing to board the bus to the stadium.


"Did you see our captain?"

"Will he come today?"

The morale of the members were really low now, they thought Kai would definitely come for the match.

"Beep"

"Gather!" Sae shouted when he heard the whistle.

"Everyone here?" Akimoto asked.

"Sensei...Kai...is..." Sae said.

"Ok! Everyone is present! Move the equipment up and board the bus now...Lets have a good game today!" Akimoto said and left the basketball
court to board the bus.

"What do Sensei meant by that?"

"Captain is not here yet..."

"Are we really going to leave without him?"

"Alright...Move on! Don't waste our time here..." Sae said.

"Sae...What about Kai?" Riku asked.

"Didn't you hear what Sensei said? All is present..." Sae said.

Riku looked around him and felt a chill in his spine.

"You serious? You mean...Kai is...here?" Riku asked softly as he looks around again.

"Don't be ridiculous Riku! Obviously Kai is not here...But Sensei believed that Kai would definitely come for the match..." Kuu said.

"Even Sensei said so...We got to believe in him too...Kai would definitely come...So lets go..." Jun said.

The basketball members then quickly load their belongings and left the school ground with the supporters in their respective buses.

"Rena san..." Yuko said.

"What's wrong?" Rena asked.

"Its really weird...Without Acchan and Yuki...." Yuko said sadly.

"Yuko chan...I know what you mean...But we have to help them cheer for Kai and Sae...Lets do our best for Acchan and Yuki..." Rena said.

"But...We have not seen Kai for days! If only Acchan is around...Only she can knock some sense into him..." Yuko said.

"Yuko chan..." Rena said sadly as she have no idea how to cheer her up.

Yuko looked at Rena. She knew she had indirectly made Rena worried for her with all the things she just said.

"Whatever! I am going to put all my energy to cheer for Riku-nyan!" Yuko exclaimed.

"Yuko chan...I believe Riku will definitely fight harder when you cheer for him..." Rena said and is really glad that Yuko spirits is lifted up once again.

"Ahhh! We are reaching soon!" Yuko said and pointed at the stadium.

All the buses arrived at the stadium and the students slowly get down the buses batch by batch. They then entered to the stadium and got themselves
seated at their respective places.


AKIBAHARA SPORTS STADIUM

- Akiba control room -

Loud cheers can be heard, these are cheers for the Majisuka Academy. They knew the Majisuka team players have entered the court already.

"Are you ready?" Akimoto asked.

"Hai!"

"Good! Everyone! Get out there now...I have nothing more to say now...Just give it your best shot!" Akimoto said.

"Osu!"

The Akiba basketball players then left the control room and walked into the court. They were greeted with loud cheers upon entering the court.

"RIKU-NYAN! GAMABATTE! YOU ARE A DEAD MAN IF YOU COME BACK TO ME LOSING!" Yuko shouted and Riku simply winked at her.

"Jun kun! Gambatte!" Rena tried to shout as loud as she can.

Jun lifted up his arm and clenched his fist towards Rena. Then he join his team mates for warming up and shooting practice. The supporters are all
quiet now as they are reserving their energy to cheer their lungs out for their school teams.


"Is this seat taken?" Tomonobu asked.

"Uncle?" Rena asked in surprised.

"Of course I'm here to support my son..." Tomonobu said and sat down.

"Kai is here!" Yuko said and looked at Rena.

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle, signally that the match will start in 5 minutes time. Hearing that, both teams stopped them shooting practice
and gathered around their coach.


- Majisuka Academy side -

"Looks like their Ace is not here today...Just stick to the game play and we will definitely win this!" Togasaki said as he looked at Akiba's players."

Takeru is feeling really guilty, he wonders if its because of him that Kai did not come for the finals today.

"SATO! SATO!" Togasaki called out.

"Hai!" Takeru said after his team mates elbowed him to signal to him that the coach is calling him.

"I am counting to you in winning this as usual...Don't let me down!" Togasaki said.

"Hai! You can count on me Sensei!" Takeru shouted.

- Akiba Academy side -

"We will go with the usual start up...Thats all..." Akimoto said.

"Sensei wait...What usual start up...Kai...Kai is not even here..." Riku said.

Just then, loud cheers can be heard. Sae and the others turned to look. Kai is now running towards them.

"Seriously...You this idiot...Made me worried for nothing..." Kuu said softly with a smile.

"Sensei...Gomenasai...I'm late..." Kai said and bowed to Akimoto.

"Are you? The match has not start yet...Are you ready to go for the shot?" Akimoto asked.

"Hai...Please allow me to play for the team!" Kai replied.

"Good! I leave the time now to let you discuss your game plan with your start up..." Akimoto said and then sat down on the bench.

"Hai!" Kai said and ran towards his buddies.

"You this idiot...I thought you really going to give up on us!" Sae said.

"I have no choice! Your punches caused my face to swell badly...I have to nurse myself back...If Sensei or my parents knew about it...
You think we can still play?" Kai explained.

"So thats the reason! Why did you refuse to see us then? Or ask for my help?" Jun asked.

"Are you crazy? I don't even let my Tou san see me...If I let you see me...You want me to become a dead meat?" Kai said.

"Nevertheless...I'm sure glad to have you back...Now I can play without restrictions!" Riku said.

"Of course...I am going to revenge for Atsuko and for myself...He caused our 'No.1 fan' who never missed any of our matches missed
it now..." Kai said and looked sternly at Takeru.

"Yeah!" The others said, agreeing to what Kai said.

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle and both teams quickly shout their cheers. Standing on the same court, the startup players are all ready to
start the face off. Sae and Takeru will be jumper for their team. With everyone in position, the referee start off with the ball tossed in the air.


"I am getting this!" Sae said and grabbed the ball. Before he land on the ground, he passed it to Kai.

"The first point is ours!" Kai said and dribbled the ball towards the scoring basket.

"Defend!" Takeru shouted and ran after Kai with his team mates.

They managed to stopped Kai but did not realized they have fallen to Kai's trap. Kai quickly passed the ball to Jun who is at the 3-pointer zone and
made his shot.


"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and made the signal of 3 points scored.

"YAY!" The Akiba supporters cheered loudly.

"Defend!" Kai shouted and they quickly got back to their defending position.

"Lets reorganized ourself and score this point!" Takeru said and signaled his team mate to pass his the ball.

Takeru dribbled the ball slowly to the half court and scanned around the position of his team mates and the opponents. He suddenly dashed
towards Kai and make a round about turn and got passed Kai. However, Kai already had plans in his mind and Takeru's ball is snatched by
Sae when he made the turn.


"KUU!" Sae shouted and made a fast pass to Kuu  who is already running far away from them.

"Make it 5!" Kuu said and made his shot.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and made the signal of 2 points scored.

"Again! Again! Go Go! Akiba Go!" The Akiba supporters cheered loudly.

Now the Majisuka is under pressure they never felt before. The players on the court looked at Takeru, hoping that he would issue new
 instructions to guide and lead them through. However, they did not know that Takeru was also shocked by the Akiba's counter attacks on them.
Takeru is surprised that they seems to know what they are going to do.


"Takeru! Is everything ok?" Tomohisa asked.

"Yea...Lets secure this point!" Takeru said.

"Right!" Tomohisa said and started to run.

However, the Akiba now is too strong for them to handle now. The score now  32 : 17, with the Akiba's leading with 15 points. Togasaki can
no longer sit there and not do anything, he decided to asked for a time out.


"Beep"

"Time out!"The referee said while he points at Majisuka who requested the time out.

The teams quickly ran towards their coach, not wanting to waste the precious time.

- Majisuka Academy side -
"Listen carefully! We are going all out now..." Togasaki said.

"Sensei...But its not even half time yet...If we do that, our stamina will be drained out fast..." Tomohisa said.
"I want to take this bet...We will have the players changed more frequently...So I want everyone of you to go all out when you are in there...
Understand?" Togasaki asked.

"Hai!"

"Sato...What's wrong with you...Whats with you play today...This is not like you! Where the aggressiveness you always displays?" Togasaki asked.

"Gomenasai Sensei..." Takeru said.

"Don't let us down anymore...Don't forget...You are the captain of this team! You are suppose to lead!" Togasaki said.

"Hai!" Takeru said.

- Akiba Academy side -

"Ok everyone listen! I believe they will definitely go all out now...We will player change accordingly...Any objections?" Akimoto asked.

"Sensei...Please allow us to play till the end!" Kai requested.

"Hai Sensei! Please allow us to play till the end!" Sae and the others pleaded.

"Are you sure? That will really drains out all your stamina if you continue to play throughout..." Akimoto said concernedly.

Seeing Kai and the others determination, the other team mates also pleaded for them.

"Sensei! Onegai!"

Akimoto is really touched by the unity of his team. Kai and his friends were really grateful to their team mates despite how selfish
they were.


"Yoshhaa...But if I find anyone of you slacking off...Be prepared to come sit on the bench! Is that understood?" Akimoto asked.

"HAI!"

"Arigato..." Kai said to his team mates.

"Captain...Win this for us!"

"Don't let us down!"

"Take our spirit and run!"

"You can count on us!" Kai said.

"Beep"

The time is up and the 2 teams then hurried into the court. Akiba has the right to get start off first.

"Let's get this party started..." Kai said.

"Osu!"

Riku passed the ball to Kai and he slowly dribbled to the half court. This time, everyone of them is being shadowed by their opponent.
 However, that does not stop them. Sae and Kuu keep circle around to confuse their opponents, making space for the others to break into
the zone. Seeing an opening, Kai quickly dash towards the basket and managed to draw 3 defenders to him.


"JUN!" Kai shouted and made a swift passed to Jun.

"Leave it to me!" Jun ran forward to get the pass and made his shot.

"Beep!"

"3 POINTS!" The referee said.

"YAY!" The Akiba supporters cheered loudly.

"JUN!" Rena shouted and jumped up to hug Yuko.

"Chill! Chill!" Yuko said.

"Ah gomen! But did you see that?" Rena asked excitedly.

"I know! Your man scored! I see it very clearly!" Yuko said.

"Jun!" Rena shouted and waved to Jun. Jun heard Rena's cheers for him and smiled at her.

This time, Yuko is fuming and exploded.

"Riku-nyan! If you never score any points today! I don't want to see you anymore!" Yuko shouted. Hearing that, Riku is shocked.

The supporters looked at Yuko, they are shocked by her sudden demands.

"Yuko chan! Are you serious?" Rena asked.

"Hmph~ OF COURSE! Its not real! I just want to scare my Riku-nyan~" Yuko replied softly.

"Kai..." Riku called out and looked at Kai.

"Ok...I get it...Lets get into position first..." Kai said.

"Ok..." Riku said and ran back to his position.

"Beep"

Majisuka start off the ball and made mulitple passes as soon as they got the ball in their hands. They wanted to prevent Akiba
from getting near them. However, their plot was not working and Kuu managed to intercept their passes and got the ball.


"KUU! RIKU!" Kai shouted as he points at the scoring basket.

Kuu quickly made a high long passed and everyone were now focused on the ball when running towards it. When the ball is about to
hit against the basket, Riku made a high jump and slammed the ball into the basket. Riku just dunk the ball into the basket and scored!


"Those idiots..." Akimoto said while covering his smile with his hand.

The whole stadium is now filled with thunderous cheers upon seeing Riku's slam dunk. The supporters spirits were lifted to the highest now.
However, Yuko was too surprise to make any comment and just froze there.


"Yuko chan! Yuko chan! Riku just slam dunked!" Rena said excitedly.

"Moh...I didn't ask you to score this way...When will you stop making me fall for you deeply..." Yuko said shyly as she looks at Riku. Riku
made a victory sign at Yuko and smiled.

The Majisuka basketball team is now in a chaos. They were shocked by Riku's performance and their team's morale is dropping with all
their counter attacks being foiled again and again. Even Togasaki is dumbfounded and does not know what to do. With that, Kai and his
buddies continue to lead on and scored time and time again non stop.


"BEEP!"

"71 : 36! Akiba Academy wins!" The referee shouted.

The Akiba basketball players and the supporters cheered loudly, celebrating their win. At this moment, Kai just stood there, enjoying the
loud cheers and the happy faces displayed by the people around.


"KAI!" Sae shouted and ran with the others to hug him.

"Minna...We did it..." Kai said and displayed a wide smile at them.

However, before Sae and the others were able to get to him. Kai started to wobble and bleed from his nose. He then slowly fall to his knees.

"KAI!" Tomonobu shouted upon seeing Kai fall and quickly ran down to the court with Yuko and Rena following behind him.

Screams and shouts were heard throughout the stadium as everyone is shocked. Kai tried his best to remain conscious. However, when he sees
his Otou san and friends gathering around him, Kai slowly fallen into unconsciousness.

Chapter 28B

AT THE HOSPITAL

- EMERGENCY WARD -

"Why did this happened? Kai! You can't do this to us..." Riku said and cried.

"Kai will definitely be ok..." Yuko said as she hugged Riku tightly.

"Jun! Do you think I caused him any internal injuries?" Sae asked Jun.

"I don't know...I...I really have no idea...Just what is wrong! Why are they taking so long for the diagnostics!" Jun shouted impatiently.

"Jun kun! Calm down please..." Rena cried out and hugged Jun, hoping that would calm him down.

"Uncle...Don't worry...I believe Kai will be ok..." Kuu said.

"I'm...I'm...prepared...for this long ago..." Tomonobu said softly as tears dripped on the floor.

"Uncle? What...What do you mean?" Kuu asked as he is puzzled why Tomonobu would say that.

"Door open"

"Who is Takahashi Kai's immediate family?" The doctor asked.

Hearing that, Tomonobu quickly stood up and meet the doctor.

"Mr Takahashi, we have tried our best but I am sorry to inform you the tumor in your son's brain has ruptured and the
next 24 hours is crucial for him." The doctor said.

Everyone was shocked by the news. This shocking news is new to them and Kai never ever mentions anything to them before.

"Ok..." Tomonobu said while holding back his tears.

"From this form that your son has signed previously, we just want to verify with you. Do you know that your son has opted to donate
his heart to Takahashi Yuki if any thing happened to him?" The doctor asked.

"Yes...I...am aware of it...." Tomonobu said with tears rolling down his cheeks. He can no longer hide the pain and saddness he had
been trying to hold on.

"Then I will proceed to make the arrangements with the heart specialist and let them know about this...Please take care..." The doctor
said and bowed. He then left.

After the doctor left, Sae and the others were really confused. They can't believe what they just heard.

"Uncle...What is going on? Wasn't him fine just a moment ago? What is going to happen to Kai?" Sae cried out.

"Firstly, Kai...Wants me to tell you this...Gomenasai..." Tomonobu said and tried to explain as much as he can.

- Flashback -

10 years ago, before Minami decides to take Yuki to America.

At Kai's house

"KAI! WAKE UP!" Minami shouted.

"Hmm?" Kai slowly opened his eyes and lift his head up from the piano.

"I told you a lot of times not to sleep on the piano and looked out for Yukirin! Did you know she had a heart attacked just now?"
Minami asked angrily.

"What! Majide? Is she ok now?" Kai asked as he jumped up from his piano seat.

"Why are you so irresponsible? From now on, you are not supposed to play the piano anymore!" Minami said angrily.

"NOT FAIR! You can't do this to me! I didn't mean to fall asleep like that! It was just an accident!" Kai retorted.

"Accident? This has been happening too frequently! No excuses! From tomorrow onwards, no more piano in this house! I will get your
Otou san to send it away!" Minima said and went upstairs to check on Yuki.

"OTOU SAN! Say something!" Kai said.

"Kai...Come here..." Tomonobu said.

Kai walked over to Tomonobu and sat beside his father.

"Kai...Have you been feeling tired recently? Is it about school? Was it tough for you?" Tomonobu asked concernedly.

"I...I don't know...I just have this feeling of getting smacked in my head and then I fall asleep...When I woke up, Oka san is
always scolding me for not taking good care of Yuki...But I did not do that on purposed!" Kai retorted.

Hearing that, Tomonobu started to worry about Kai. He decided to take Kai to the hospital for a full check up.

FEW DAYS LATER

AT THE HOSPITAL

Tomonobu and Kai is at the neurology doctor's office.

"Weeeeee...." Kai said as he spins around the chair.

"Kai! Stop it and behave yourself!" Tomonobu said sternly.

"Hai~" Kai said and stopped spinning.

"Door opening"

"Sorry to keep you waiting...Mr Takahashi..." The doctor said.

"Not at all...Doctor...Is my son...ok?" Tomonobu asked seriously.

The doctor looked at Tomonobu and Kai. He then asked the nurse to bring Kai out so that he can break the news to Tomonobu.
But Kai refused to get out of the room.


"I don't want to go out! I want to know what is going on!" Kai said.

"Kai...Follow the nurse and go out for a while..." Tomonobu said.

"No! I want to know what is going on with me! So Oka san cannot accuse me for being lazy anymore!" Kai said.

No matter how they tried to get Kai out, Kai simply refused to listen.

"Doctor...Just tell us...Its...Ok..." Tomonobu said as does not know what to do with Kai.

"Mr Takahashi...Are you sure about this?" The doctor asked.

"Yes...Please continue..." Tomonobu said.

"Very well then, Mr Takahashi...Based on the diagnostic tests we did on your son...I am sorry to inform you that your son...
Have a tumor on the right side of his brain...We believed that this tumor is the mean reason that causes him frequent headaches
and unable to control his sleepiness..." The doctor said.

"Tumor? Is he...Is he in danger? Is there any treatment for my son?" Tomonobu asked seriously.

"For now...I am sorry to tell you, we can't operate on it as the risk is really high and there's nothing much we can do about it..."
The doctor said.

Hearing that, Tomonobu broke down and cried. Although Kai does not understand fully what the doctor says, but seeing his father
behaving this way, something bad must have happened to him. Just like Yuki.


"Otou san...Please don't cry..." Kai said as he tried to wipe off his father's tears.

"Kai..." Tomonobu looked at Kai and hugged Kai tightly.

ALONG AKIHABARA STREET

"Otou san...Are you ok?" Kai asked.

"Yeah...I will let Oka san know once we get home..." Tomonobu said.

Kai stopped in his steps and pulled Tomonobu's hand.

"Otou san...Please don't tell Oka san..." Kai pleaded.

"Kai...Why? Oka san needs to know about this...If not she would not understand why you are always falling asleep...And...
This is a very serious matter...Do you understand?" Tomonobu asked.

"But...Oka san is already busy enough with Yuki and her work...I don't want to cause her anymore worries..." Kai said sadly.

"Kai..." Tomonobu said and was very touched by Kai's thoughtfulness.

"As long as Yuki is ok...I will be ok! I will try my best to take good care of Yuki! Please don't tell Oka san..." Kai said.

What Kai said striked Tomonobu. He realized that whenever Yuki is unwell, Kai would be unwell too. He wondered if its linked.

That night, Minami happened to talk to Tomonobu again about going America to get Yuki treated. Instead of the whole family going,
Tomonobu suggested that Minami and Yuki to go without him and Kai. He wanted Yuki to recuperate while letting Minami have full
concentration on her while he takes care of Kai himself.


- End of flashback -

"Meaning...Kai was never well whenever Yuki is unwell?" Jun asked.

"Yes..." Tomonobu said.

"Why is he pushing himself so hard! That idiot!" Kuu cried out.

"No wonder...Sometimes he would be in a dazed no matter how hard we tried to call out to him...Why didn't I notice it at all! Damn!"
Sae reprimanded himself.

"Don't he trust us? Why didn't he tell us...After all we have been through..." Riku said sadly.

"I believe Kai has his reasons..." Yuko said.

"I believe its the same reason...Kai doesn't want the people he cares to worry about him..." Rena said.

"Yes...Kai wanted to enjoy every single day without restrictions...He treasures every time spent with each of you...To him, the
friendship between you and him is the best gift he ever had...He said that...He want to have all the wonderful memories be sealed
within his memory and not the sadness...So please...Please forgive this silly son of mine..." Tomonobu said.

"No...This is too...too sudden...Why must it turn out this way...We were just celebrating our win and now...I just can't accept this....
What are we going to say to Acchan when she wakes up? I can't handle this anymore..." Jun said and walked out of the ward.

"Jun..." Kuu called out and wanted to follow him but was stopped by Rena.

"Let me go instead...Stay with Uncle..." Rena said and went after Jun.

"When did...When did Kai signed the donors form..." Sae asked.

"When Yuki came back...Kai wanted to make sure at least...One of them will be able to pull through if anything... anything happened to him..."
Tomonobu said sadly.

"Kai...Why are you always the one getting hurt...Why can't I do anything to help you? How am I suppose to tell Yuki...Why are you so cruel..."
Sae cried out.

Just then, the nurse approached them and told them which ICU ward Kai is in.

"Let's not waste any time...We should go and see Kai..." Kuu said.

"Uncle...Are you ok?" Riku asked.

"Yes...Lets go see him now..." Tomonobu said and managed to pull himself up.

- ICU WARD -

They walked into the ICU ward. Kai and Yuki happened to be warded side by side. Seeing both of them through the glass panel,
Tomonobu started to cry. The sight really pains him and he can no longer contain his pain.


"Uncle..." Kuu said as he tried to helped Tomonobu to the seats to settle him down.

"Dooooooooo...."

Suddenly, Yuki's heart monitor system displayed heartbeat flatline while Kai's ventilation level is dropping rapidly. The doctors quickly
went to their ward to do assessment.


"What's going on?" Tomonobu asked.

"Noo...Don't! Kai!" Riku shouted.

"KAI!" Kuu shouted.

"YUKI!" Sae shouted.

"Yuki! Please don't give up!" Yuko shouted.

"No...Don't take them away...Don't...Please..." Tomonobu said and fall on his knees.

"Door opening"

The doctor and nurses pushed their bed out, preparing to send them to the operating theaters.

"Where are you taking them?" Sae asked.

"Sorry...Is Takahashi Kai and Yuki's immediate family here?" The nurse asked.

"I...I am..." Tomonobu said.

"The doctors will be operating on them shortly...We would like you to sign these 2 forms of consent..." The nurse said.

"Is my son...already..." Tomonobu said but was interrupted by Kuu.

"Wait! This is too sudden...Kai! You this idiot! Wake up! I have so much to say to you!" Kuu shouted and wanted to stop the nurses
from pushing his bed into the operating theater.

"Kuu! Don't do that..." Riku cried out and tried to hold Kuu back.

"Kai...No...Don't go...Yuki...No...No..." Yuko said and cried.

"Sorry Mr Takahashi, time is really crucial now...The doctors needs your consent to perform the operations..." The nurse urged.

Tomonobu signed the form and asked the nurses to wait for a while. He then walked over to the 'sleeping' Kai and kissed his forehead.

"My time with you might not be long but...Arigato...I am really proud of you my son..." Tomonobu said and teared badly.

The nurses then pushed the 2 beds into the operating theaters.

-At Acchan's ward -

"Atsuko! Atsuko! Wake up you sleepyhead!"

"Hmm..." Acchan said.

Acchan slowly opened her eyes and saw Kai beside her.

"Why are you in my bedroom?" Acchan asked.

"Silly...You are in the hospital...Look around you..." Kai said as he pinched Acchan's cheeks.

"Itaiii...Moh..." Acchan said.

"Atsuko..." Kai called out and flashed out the winning trophy.

"You won?" Acchan asked excitedly.

"Yes...But....I'm sorry...I can...no longer fulfil our promise..." Kai said sadly.

"Kai? What...What do you mean?" Acchan asked. She hoped that she did not guess correct what Kai meant when he is not able to
fulfill the promise.

Other than Tomonobu, Acchan is the other person who knew about Kai's condition. She saw Kai's severed headache before and after
pestering Kai for a long time, Kai then finally revealed to her about his condition. Despite knowing Kai's condition, Acchan strongly believed
that Kai will be alright and they will be able to get together. They have been each others pillar of strength since then.


"I really have to go first...Please forgive me...I love you...And remember, I'm always with you..." Kai said and kissed Acchan's lips softly
before he vanished right in front of Acchan.

"NO! COME BACK! BAKA KAI!" Acchan shouted.

"Atsu!" Shidou and Haruko was startled by Acchan's shout.

Acchan slowly opened her eyes and saw her parents standing by her bed.

"Oka san...Otou san...Did you see Kai? He was just here not too long ago but suddenly went off!" Acchan said.

"Atsu...Kai is...Kai is never here...Otou san and me were the only ones here..." Haruko said and started to cry.

"Oka san? Why are you crying? Are you serious? He was right here just now! And this baka Kai took away my first...Anyway! I
want to see him now!" Acchan said.

"Atsu...Kai really wasn't here at all...And seeing him...I...I can't bring him here..." Shidou said sadly.

Seeing the expressions of her parents, Acchan have a very bad feeling about it.

"How long...How long have I been here?" Acchan asked.

"3 weeks...You have been sleeping for 3 weeks...I'm glad that you are finally awake...I will get the doctor here now..."
Shidou said and went out of the ward.

"Oka san...Did...something...Did something happened to Kai?" Acchan asked seriously.

Hearing that, Haruko can no longer hide her emotions and cried. Seeing her mother's reaction, Acchan did not asked further.
She realized the Kai who she saw and bidding her goodbye was all a dream. Acchan then started to cry.


"Why didn't you stay longer...I have...so much to say to you...Kai..." Acchan cried out in her mind.

- ICU WARD -

Yuki slowly opened her eyes and looked around her surroundings. She tried to move but realized that she cannot move much with
all the tubes around her.


"Look! Yuki is moving!" Sae shouted.

"Really?" Yuko asked and stood up from her seat to take a look.

"ITS TRUE!" Riku said excitedly.

"We should get the doctor here!" Rena said.

"Ok! I will get the doctor here right away!" Jun said and ran out of the ward.

Jun managed to get Dr Watanabe and she quickly run assessments on Yuki.

- After an hour -

"What is taking them so long?" Kuu asked.

"Just wait patiently...They have to check properly..." Mariko said.

"Jun...Do you think its...going to be alright?" Sae asked anxiously.

"Don't worry...The operation was successful and Yuki will definitely be ok..." Jun said.

The nurses pulls away the curtain and they saw the breathing tubes on Yuki were all taken away.

"Door opening"

"Doctor! Is Yuki ok?" Sae asked.

"She is recuperating well...We will be transferring her to normal ward later..." Dr Watanabe said with a smile.

"Yokatta!" The girls cheered.

"Can I go see her now?" Sae asked.

"Of course...But don't stay inside too long...We still need to get her transferred to the normal ward..." Dr Watanabe said.

"Got it..." Sae said and walked into Yuki's ward.

Hearing multiple footsteps approaching her, Yuki opened her eyes to see who they are.

"Sae..." Yuki said weakly.

"Shhh...Don't say anything...You just woke up..." Sae said.

"Yuki..." The others called out.

"Minna..." Yuki said.

Sensing something is missing, Yuki looked around and realized her parents, Kai and Acchan is not around.

"Is...Is Acchan ok?" Yuki asked.

"Yes...Uncle Shidou and Auntie Haruko just texted us that Acchan has woken up..." Kuu said.

"Thats great...No wonder I don't see Kai here...Kai must be really happy and went to see her right?" Yuki asked with a smile.

Everyone looked each other and did not answer Yuki's question. They tried to change the topic instead.

"Did I...Did I get a heart transplant?" Yuki asked.

"Yes you did...And the doctors said it was very successful and you are recovering well..." Jun replied.

"I see..." Yuki said.

"How are you feeling?" Rena asked.

"I feel great...I don't why but this heart beating in me...Feels...so...Feels so familiar and warmth inside me..." Yuki said with a smile.

Hearing that, Yuko is unable to control her feelings and started to tear. She tried to turn away, not wanting to let Yuki know that she is crying.

"Yuko? Whats...Whats wrong?" Yuki asked as she sensed something is not right when Yuko suddenly turned away from her.

Everyone did not say anything and kept quiet as they know its hard to hide from Yuki. Seeing that, Yuki had a very bad feeling.

"Sae...Where's Otou san and Oka san? Where's Kai?" Yuki asked seriously.

"They are...They are...currently busy...with some stuff..." Sae replied softly.

"I want to see them now...Can you ask them to come here now?" Yuki asked.

Everyone looked at each other and don't know what to say. Seeing that, Yuki knew they were hiding something serious from her.
Somehow, she got a feeling its about Kai.


"Did something...happened to Kai?" Yuki asked.

Ah... so kai was also sick...even worse than Yuki...

And his mother never knew about it....

And Kai already knew his time is coming... since Yuki needed his heart

There is a chance for Yuki to get better not never Kai...

He was always on borrowed time...

Just exist for Yuki...I guess...

Poor Atsuko... not being able to be with Kai even until the end...

What's going to happen next?

Can't wait to find out

Thank you for the updates

Wow! So much comments! I think I am quite a dramatic person...Please forgive me :bow:
Well, I shall not say much...Let this update do the job :cathappy:


Chapter 29

1 month has passed. Yuki is finally well enough to get herself discharged from the hospital.

- Yuki's ward -

"Is that all?" Sae asked as he looked at Yuki's belongings.

"Hai..." Yuki said as she looked at Sae.

"Let's go then...Uncle asked us to wait inside his car..." Sae said and carried Yuki's bag.

"Ok..." Yuki said and walked over to Sae.

They then walked out of the ward hand in hand, making their way towards Tomonobu's car.

"Sorry to keep you waiting..." Tomonobu said and opened his car door to get in.

"Moh...Otou san...You didn't shave today..." Yuki complained.

"You sound just like your Oka san...I will shave it later...Is that ok?" Tomonobu asked.

"Hai...Please do so later..." Yuki said with a smile.

They then drove towards the graveyard to do some visiting before they head back home.

- At the graveyard -

Yuki and Sae alighted first while Tomonobu went to park his vehicle. With a heavy heart, Yuki walked towards the grave she is
visiting with a bouquet of flowers while Sae bought a bento of Katsudon with him.


"Acchan!" Yuki called out.

Hearing that, Acchan turned to see who is calling out to her. She then waved to Yuki and Sae. Yuki and Sae then quickly walked
over to Acchan.


"Yukirin! Omedeto on getting discharged today..." Acchan said and hugged Yuki.

"Arigato...All these would not happen if not for..." Yuki said and started to sob as she looks at the tombstone.

"Yukirin..." Acchan said with tears in her eyes as she release the hug.

"Yuki...Please don't cry..." Sae said sadly as he tries to wipe away the tears on Yuki's cheeks.

"Gomen..." Yuki said and tried to regain her composure.

"Shall we?" Sae asked.

"Hai..." The girls replied.

The 3 of them prayed and bowed in front of the tombstone. They then lay the items they brought with them nicely on the tombstone.
Sae carefully open the bento box and lay it down.


"Here's your favorite...I tried my best to make it and hope you like it...I promise you...I will definitely take good care of Yuki from now on..."
Sae said while trying to hold back his sadness.

Yuki slowly knee down and wipe the dirt off the tombstone carefully. After that, she kissed the top of the tombstone and got up.

"Arigato...For everything you have done for me...Oka san..." Yuki said sadly.

- Flashback -

1 month ago

- ICU WARD -

"Kai is..."Kuu said and paused for a long time.

"Kai is alright..." Jun said.

"Then where is he?" Yuki asked.

"He is..." Sae said and looked at the others for help but no one is able to help Sae complete the sentence.

Yuki started to tear, as she knew her hunch was correct. Something happened to Kai and is more serious than she can imagine.

"Where's Otou san and Oka san? Get them here now! I want to see them now!" Yuki cried out agitatedly.

"Yuki! You just woke up...Please calm down..." Sae said as he tries to calm her down.

"No! I want to see them now! Help me get them here! I want to know what happened to Kai!" Yuki cried out.

They tried to comfort and calm Yuki down but they were not able to do so. Unable to hold her emotions, Yuko blurted out the truth.

"Kai is next door!" Yuko said and cried.

Hearing that, Yuki is shocked. She looked at Yuko and the others, hoping to get an explanation from them.

"What...What do you mean?" Yuki asked.

"Kai...He...He is a coma..." Kuu said.

"Coma? Like Acchan? What happened? Sae...Please tell me what happened..." Yuki said and looked at Sae.

Sae had no choice but to reveal the truth to Yuki. He then told Yuki whatever Tomonobu has told them.

"Kai got a brain tumor all along? So my presence.... is always causing nothing but pain and saddness to him...It's my fault
that Kai become like this...Its all my fault... " Yuki said in a state of shock.

"Yuki...Don't say that...It wasn't anyone's fault!" Sae said.

"Gomenasai...Kai...Gomenasai...Bring me there now...I want to...I want to see Kai!" Yuki said agitatedly.

Knowing that Yuki would not calm down unless she sees Kai, Sae and Jun went to talk to the doctor and asked for permission to
grant Yuki a visit to Kai's ward. With the nurse help, they helped Yuki up and sat on a wheelchair. Then they carefully pushed her
to the ward next door.


"Kai..." Yuki called out.

As Kai had a brain surgery to cleanse the tumor and blood clot in his brain, his head is swollen and bandaged up, which makes
it unrecognizable.


"Gomenasai...Gomenasai...Can you hear me? I am...I am Yuki..." Yuki sobbed.

"Yuki...Please calm down...Kai would be so sad if he knows that you are crying..." Sae said.

"Why didn't you say anything to me? Why are you always suffering alone? I'm really sorry...I took all the time of Oka san and
Otou san away from you...Gomenasai...Please wake up...Kai...Onegai..." Yuki cried out.

"Yuki...Please take care of yourself...If not Auntie would be really sad..." Kuu blurted out.

Everyone stared at Kuu. He just broke the promise they agreed on, which is not to bring out Auntie into the conversation.

"Kuu..." Mariko said softly and slapped Kuu's back.

Hearing that, Yuki starts to wonder where her parents are. Based on her past experiences, her parents would definitely be with her if
she were to be warded. And this time, she and Kai is warded. All the more her parents would worry and stay by their side. Especially
Minami. She suspects that her friends is hiding something from her, something might have happened to her parents.


"Where is...Where are my parents?" Yuki asked seriously.

"They are currently...currently busy...Didn't I told you just now?" Sae said while trying to remain calm to avoid any suspicion.

"Busy with what?" Yuki asked again.

"Busy with...some work..." Riku said.

Knowing that they are just giving her excuses, Yuki tried to push the wheelchair herself.

"Yuki! What are you doing?" Sae asked as he tried to stop Yuki from pushing herself out of the ward.

"Don't stop me...I want to go...to go find Oka san and Otou san..." Yuki said.

"Please stop...Yuki...Please..Don't do this..." Rena cried out.

"Why won't you tell me where my parents are? And now...Why are you all stopping me from looking for my parents? What is
wrong with you guys?" Yuki asked and cried. She stopped stuggling to push herself.

Everyone can no longer hold their emotions and started to tear. It was really hard for them. Their best friends are hospitalized
and they do not know if they should break the bad news to Yuki. About her parents.


"Sae...Just...say it..." Jun said.

Tomonobu had asked them to help him reveal the truth if Yuki were to wake up when he is not around. He knew it would be hard
to hide it from Yuki, since Yuki and Minami has always been so close.


"Yuki...I hope you will prepare yourself...Uncle...Uncle Tomonobu is now...is now at the funeral service..." Sae said.

"For who?" Yuki asked. Now Yuki had a very bad feeling and hope her guess is wrong.

"For...Auntie Minami..." Sae said with tears falling out from his eyes.

"What did you say?" Yuki asked again to reconfirm it again as she can't believe what she just heard.

"Auntie...Auntie Minami...has already passed on..." Kuu said sadly.

"No...It can't be..." Yuki said as she put her hands on her chest.

Feeling the heart beating from her chest, Yuki suddenly realized something.

"This heart...Is it...Oka san's?" Yuki asked with her eyes opening widely.

Everyone looked at Yuki as they did not expect her to ask them this question. Without answering her question, all of them
looked down and remain silent.


"Onegai...Please...Please bring me to my parents...I want to see Oka san...I want to see Oka san!" Yuki said agitatedly.

"Yuki...Please calm down...You can't leave the hospital yet..." Jun said.

"Yuki...Gomenasai...We really can't bring you out..." Yuko said.

They tried to hold and calm the agitated Yuki from movng too much.

"No...Why is this happening...I don't believe it...Bring me to Oka san...Oka...san..." Yuki said and finally fainted from exhaustion.

"YUKI!"

"Doctor! Come here please! Doctor! Anyone!" Sae shouted.

"Don't crowd around Yuki! Let her have more fresh air...I will go get the doctor here now..." Jun said and went to get the doctor with
Rena following him.

- End of flashback -

"Have you offered your prayers?" Tomonobu asked as he walks towards them.

"Hai..." Yuki said softly.

Yuki, Sae and Acchan moved to the side and Tomonobu walked to the center of the tombstone. He made a small prayer and bowed.

"Gomen...I was a little late today...Yuki asked me to shave first before I come here...Hope you are not mad with me..." Tomonobu said softly.

"Otou san..." Yuki said.

"Minami must be smiling when she sees you here...She must be very happy to know that you are well..." Tomonobu said with a
smile while he looks at Yuki.

"Oka san...I promise you...I will definitely take care of Otou san for you...With this new life you have granted me...Arigato..."
Yuki said as she looks at the tombstone.

"Auntie Minami...I will help Yuki too...And Kai...We will definitely take good care of them..." Sae said and hold Yuki's hand.

Tomonobu looked at the young couple and then looked up the sky. He then starts to recall back the happenings since Minami and
Yuki came back.


- Flashback -

Few months back

At Tomonobu and Minami's bedroom

"Minami...Is that all you have?" Tomonobu asked as he carried the box into the room.

"Hai...That will be the last box...Please be careful with it...Just put it down there...I will unpack them myself..." Minami said as she
points at a corner of the room.

"Ok then..." Tomonobu said and carefully put down the box.

After he put down the box, he stood at and walked towards Minami to see if she needs any help in unpacking.

"Ouch..." Tomonobu said as he accidentally tripped on a box. The objects inside the box fall out in a mess.

"Anata..." Minami said and turned. Seeing the contents falling out, Minami panic and quickly walked over to it.

Curious, Tomonobu picked up a few packets and looked. The contents fallen out are all medicines of different kinds.

"Yuki still needs to take so much medication? I just saw her medication box at the kitchen...It wasn't these..." Tomonobu said as he
carefully examine the color and shape of the tablets.

"Give me back!" Minami said anxiously and snatched the medicine back.

Tomonobu is shocked by Minami's reaction. He feels that Minami is keeping something from him.

"These medications...Is for who?  If its not for Yuki...Don't tell me its...Minami...Please...Don't hide anything from me..." Tomonobu pleaded.

"Anata...Gomenasai..." Minami said and started to cry.

Minami then told Tomonobu the reason why she suddenly decided to bring Yuki back home. Minami has been diagnosed with last stage cervical
cancer and only have months to live. She wanted to spend her last days with her family and also make preparation for Yuki to go through heart
transplant here. She decided to donate her heart to Yuki when she pass on.


"No...Tell me its not true...Why didn't you mention anything to me?" Tomonobu asked agitatedly with tears in his eyes.

"Gomenasai Anata...I just got his news a few months back...I don't want to make you or Kai to worry..." Minami said sadly.

"I don't believe you can't be cured...Lets go to the other doctors and get more diagnosis done...We can't give up just like that...What about
surgery or therapy? There certainly must be a way out..." Tomonobu said agitatedly.

"Anata...Calm down...I'm a doctor and I know what needs to be done...I already consulted...Its too late for surgery and I don't want to go
for therapy...I will be all weak and sick...I can't let Yukirin and Kai know about it..." Minami said.

"This is serious! We must let them know!" Tomonobu said.

"Please don't! Anata...Please...Please forgive my selfishness...Don't let them know..." Minami cried out.

"But I cannot see you just give up your life like that...I know you love Yuki but...I don't want to lose anyone of you..." Tomonobu said and broke down.

"Anata..." Minami said and hugged Tomonobu.

"Minami...Don't give up...Promise me...Please go for more diagnosis...Don't delay your treatment..." Tomonobu said and hugged Minami tightly.

The coupled cried their hearts out. From then on, Tomonobu would accompany Minami to and from the hospitals. Seeking different doctors and
trying different treatments. They would lie to Kai and Yuki that they are busy with work but usually, Tomonobu is accompanying Minami at the
hospital on days where she is too sick and needs to be hospitalized.


After going through all the diagnosis and treatment, the results is still the same.

"Anata...We should stop this..." Minami said.

"No...You promised me that you would not give up...We have to continue...We can't lose hope..." Tomonobu said.

"Anata...Look at these...These are the truth...All the reports...Its the same..." Minami cried out.

"Let's try again...Just one more time..." Tomonobu pleaded.

"Anata...Onegai...Stop this...Please follow what I have already planned to do..." Minami said.

"Yuki still can wait but you can't!" Tomonobu said.

"Anata! What are you saying...Yukirin and I...We both don't have the time...I have to make the arrangements fast...I can't waste
anymore time just on myself..." Minami said.

"No..." Tomonobu said.

"Anata...Look at me...Please..." Minami pleaded.

The 2 crying face looked at each other with pain displayed on their faces.

"Anata...Onegai...Please grant my wish...So that Yukirin and I can continue to live... It doesn't matter where I am...As long as my
hearts continues to beat...I want you to know...I love you very much and I will always be with you, Yukirin and Kai..." Minami said.

"I love you...I love you very much..." Tomonobu said.

"I know... Being part of the Takahashi, having you as my husband... is something I am always proud of...It's the best gift I ever had
in my whole life..." Minami said.

"You...Kai and Yuki...is my most important treasure in this whole world..." Tomonobu said.

Tomonobu finally agreed to go with Minami's original plans. They contacted Dr Watanabe and told her everything. Mayu is really shock and
sad. But she knew, this is the only thing she can help her best friend and started to make the neccessary arrangements for the operation.


On the day where Yuki is admitted into the ICU after the representing Acchan for the competition, Minami was also in critical condition but
nobody knows except Tomonobu and Dr Watanabe.


After struggling for a few days, Minami passed away on the day where Kai had his basketball finals. It was also that day where the 3 of them
were at the operating theaters, fighting to live on.


- End of flashback -

After visiting Minami, they walked towards the car and got inside.

"Let's go home then..." Tomonobu said.

"Erm...Uncle...You can join drop me off along the way..." Acchan said.

"Acchan...Where are you going?" Sae asked.

Yuki noticed the nicely wrapped bento Acchan is carrying.

"Having lunch with Kai?" Yuki asked.

"Hai..." Acchan said with a smile.

"Why don't I drop you off at the hospital then..." Tomonobu offered.

"It's ok...I can take a bus there...Uncle and Yukirin must be tired...You should head back home and rest..." Acchan said.

"Not tired at all...Please let me drive you there as thanks...For always accompanying Kai..." Tomonobu insisted.

"Acchan...Don't turn down the offer...Kai might be angry if he knows that Otou san never drive you to the hospital..." Yuki said.

"That might be true..." Sae said.

"Mohh...Alright then...Arigato gozaimasu..." Acchan said.

They then drove back to the hospital and Acchan got out of the car when they reached.

"Please let Kai know we will come and visit him in the evening..." Tomonobu said.

"Ok..." Acchan said.

Acchan waved goodbye and walked into the hospital. They then drove off and went back home for a short rest.

- Kai's ward -

"Konnichiwa..." Acchan greeted as she saw the nurse in the ward.

"Oh Acchan...You are here...Takahashi san is doing great as usual...No fever and his blood pressure is normal..." The nurse said and smiled.

"Arigato gozaimasu...Thank you for always taking good care of Kai..." Acchan said and bowed.

"Not at all...This is my duty...I got work to do...Please excuse me..." The nurse said and bowed, before making her way out.

After the nurse left, Acchan sat down at the chair beside Kai. She gently caress his cheeks.

"Baka Kai...I'm here again...Why are you always sleeping..." Acchan said.

Acchan then unwrap the bento and open up the lid.

"Does it smells nice? When will you wake up to eat this? Didn't you say before that a katsudon a day keeps all worries and saddness away?
Then why do I still feels sad and worry about you everyday..." Acchan said as she starts to eat katsudon from the bento while she looks at Kai.

"How long do you plan on making me eat katsudon? You know I will get fat if I take too much meat...Why are you so horrible...Are you going
to dump me when you see me all fat and ugly?" Acchan asked as she stuff herself to the katsudon and started to cry.

"Eww..."

Hearing that, Acchan stopped her cries and looked at Kai with her mouth full of katsudon. Kai slowly lift up his hands and sweep away the rice
Acchan accidentally spilled on his face. He then looked at Acchan.


"You are...Who are you?" Kai asked.

Acchan was shocked by Kai's question and choked herself. Spilling more rice out from her mouth. She calmed herself down and put the bento
down on the table.


"Kai...You...serious? You don't know who I am?" Acchan asked with teary eyes.

"Oh...Atsuko...I thought it was somebody else with that stuffed face..." Kai chuckled.

"Moh...You scared me!" Acchan said and pinched Kai's cheeks.

"ITAIIII!" Kai yelled.

"Serve you right...Baka...Baka Kai!" Acchan said and started to cry again. She then release the pinch.

"Gomen ne...I must have caused you to worry so much...Gomen ne..." Kai said softly.

"I'm so scared...I thought that I will not be able to see you ever again...The dream and seeing you lying here for so long..." Acchan said.

"What dream?" Kai asked.

"I had a dream where you told me that you won the against Majisuka...Then you told me that you cannot fulfil the promise and you left me
without giving me a chance to say anything...And you took away my first kiss..." Acchan cried out.

"Hahahaha" Kai laughed.

"What's so funny? I was really scared...Don't laugh anymore!" Acchan pouted.

Kai looked at Acchan cheekily. Seeing that, Acchan is really annoyed.

"What's with that look?" Acchan asked.

"Atsuko...I didn't know that..." Kai said.

"What?" Acchan asked.

"That you wanted me to kiss you soooo badly..." Kai said.

"Hey!" Acchan said and slapped Kai's arms.

"Ouch! I'm just kidding...GOMENASAI!!!" Kai said.

"I am so not going to bother you anymore!" Acchan said and turned away from Kai.

"Atsuko? Gomenasai...Please forgive me? Gomenasai!" Kai said.

"Hmph!" Acchan pouted.

"(Sighed)..." Kai sighed.

"What's wrong? Are you in pain?" Acchan asked as she turned to look at Kai out of curiousity.

"I'm just wondering...About the dream you say...Am I dreaming now?" Kai asked sadly.

"Huh? It can't be...This feels so real...And I just went visiting with Uncle, Yuki and Sae..." Acchan said.

"I see...You went to visit Oka san..." Kai said sadly.

"Kai...You know? You know what happened?" Acchan asked in amazement.

"Hai...Everything you told me...What they said...I can hear it but I just can't wake up no matter how hard I tried...I wanted to
see Oka san so badly..." Kai said and started to tear.

"Kai...Auntie...Is really brave and noble..." Acchan said.

"She always is...She gave us our life and used hers to extend ours...She will always be the greatest Oka san...But I...I wasn't able to
do anything for her..." Kai said.

"Kai..." Acchan said and hugged Kai tightly.

They hugged each other tightly and cried. After awhile, they felt their emotion calmer. Kai suddenly break away from the hug.

"Atsuko...Is this real? Are you real?" Kai asked as he wiped away his tears and Acchan's.

"Lets find out using your way..." Acchan said as she blushed.

"My way? What did I..." Kai said halfway but was interrupted by Acchan's sudden kiss.

Acchan slowly break away from the kiss and they looked into each others eyes.

"I'm real...I'm your Atsuko..." Acchan said.

"Its...Its better to double confirm our identities..." Kai said and kissed Acchan.

As they kissed, they felt that all the longing and worries for each other is gone. They knew that their love and bond is stronger and
they can always count on each other forever.


"Claps..."

The sudden clapping sounds shocked them and they quickly break the kiss. Kai and Acchan is blushing madly like 2 tomatoes.

"Great show there!" Riku cheered.

"Riku-nyan! I want a kiss too!" Yuko said and kissed Riku.

"Hey! Do that elsewhere!" Kai and Acchan retorted.

"So bold...At least close the door or draw the curtain..." Kuu said.

"Slapped"

"Itai! Mariko! What did I say wrongly this time!" Kuu asked anxiously while he rubs his back.

"If you have the time to go close the door or draw the curtains...That important moment would have dispersed! Baka Kuu..."
Mariko said and kicked Kuu.

"Thats what Rena always says..." Jun said.

Now everyone looked at Jun. They are curious to find out more.

"Jun!" Rena said agitatedly.

"Who is it? Who is it? Jun or Rena san? Who would make the first move?" Yuko asked excitedly.

Knowing that these people would not stop unless they get the answer so Jun decided to make the first move. But usually, its Rena who would kiss him.

"Rena..." Jun called out and kissed her gently as soon as Rena turns to look at him.

"..." Rena is now blushing heavily.

"Wow! I always thought that Senpai would be the one who is more proactive...I have underestimated Jun..." Riku said.

"Riku-nyan~ It doesn't matter who is more proactive as long we love each other..." Yuko said and hugged Riku tightly.

"..." Kuu looked on and did not comment.

"Kuu...You have changed...Normally you would protest..." Kai said.

"I only do that when Mariko is around..." Kuu whispered to Kai.

"Slapped"

"Ouch! Why did you hit me?" Kuu asked.

"I heard that...You need to work on your whispering skills..." Mariko said.

"Damn..." Kuu said.

"HAHAHAHA"

"Wait...Hold on! Calm down everyone!" Riku said.

"What happened Riku-nyan?" Yuko asked.

"Is this a dream? Kai...Is that really you? You are...You are awake!" Riku said as he points at Kai.

Everyone suddenly realized and looked at Kai. Since witnessing Kai and Acchan's kiss, they felt that everything looks so normal that they
forgot that Kai was in a coma state all along.


"We need to get the doctor here..." Jun said and ran to get a doctor with Rena.

"Hey! Whats is that suppose to mean? Don't put me back to sleep!" Kai retorted.

- Outside Kai's ward -

The doctors and nurses are currently doing following up checks on Kai's condition after he woke up. The others are waiting outside his ward to
wait for the results. Acchan informed Tomonobu and Yuki, they are now on their way to the hospital upon hearing the good news.


"Acchan!" Tomonobu called out with Yuki and Sae following behind him.

"How's everything? Is Kai alright?" Yuki asked anxiously.

"Kai has just woke up and the doctors are now assessing his condition...He should be fine...Lets just wait a while more..." Jun said.

"That's great! That Kai..Finally stopped being lazy..." Sae said while holding back his tears.

"Door opening"

"Doctor! How's my son?" Tomonobu asked as soon as he sees the doctor.

"Congratulations Mr Takahashi...Your son is recovering well and its really a miracle that he is able to wake up...But I still need to keep
him under observation for another 3 days and if everything is going well...He can be discharged..." The doctor said with a smile.

"Yokatta!" Everyone said with a sense of relief.

"Can I go see him now?" Tomonobu asked.

"Of course...If there is no further questions, I will take my leave now..." The doctor said.

"Arigato gozaimasu..." Tomonobu said and bowed. The doctor then leave to see other patients.

Knowing that Tomonobu might have alot of things to tell Kai, the others went to the canteen for a break. Leaving Tomonobu and Yuki with Kai.

"Tou san...You have lost weight...Gomen ne...I wasn't able to lend you any support..." Kai said as soon as he sees Tomonobu.

"No...Seeing you well...Thats the best support I could ever asked for..." Tomonobu said as he sat down beside Kai.

Noticing that Yuki is standing a distance away, Kai looked at Yuki.

"Don't you have anything to say to me? Like scolding me?" Kai asked.

"No! Why...Why would I want to scold you?" Yuki asked as she walked towards Kai.

"I hide my condition from you...And I watched on TV..After heart transplant, the character of the person will change to the donor's..
So I thought Oka san would want to scold me...For not...For not telling her..." Kai said while trying to hold his sorrow.

"Kai...You know about...about Oka san? Acchan told you?" Yuki asked in surprised.

"No...Not just Atsuko...You told me...Tou san told me...Everyone told me when I was still asleep...I heard every single word you said
and the hurt...you all felt...But I'm just so useless...I tried to wake up...I just can't..." Kai said and started to tear.

"Kai...I'm sure Oka san doesn't blame you...I am useless too...I didn't even notice Oka san is not well despite being with her most of the time...
I failed badly as her daughter...I am so sorry Oka san...Despite how bad I am...You are still willing to save me like you always do..."
Yuki said and cried.

"Yuki..." Tomonobu said as he teared.

"Gomen Tou san...It must be so hard on you...Taking care of us...and Oka san...How I wish I can tell her how sorry I am...Oka san...
I'm really sorry...I wasn't a good son to you...Always making you angry...Now its all too late now...Gomen...Gomena sai...." Kai cried.

The family of 3 hugged and cried. It was really had for them to accept the fact that Minami has already passed on.  But they know, Minami
will always be living in their hearts and will never ever be forgotten.

Ah... what a twist...

I was so sure... that Kai would be the one that gave his heart for Yuki

But plotting in their mother as a critical patient too... was brilliant...

That was why she was so persistent about wanting Kai to be with the family...

Minami wanted to spend more time with her children before she passed on

Well at least it's happy ending for the children

What's going to happen next?

Can't wait to find out

Thank you for the update

Hello people, sorry for the long wait. Presenting to you, the FINAL CHAPTER! :cry:
Arigato Gozaimasu! For reading this fic, supporting this fic till it reach it final  :cry:
Here, I would like to wish AKB a happy 10th Anniversary in advance! (That's why I keep putting 10 years in their lives :cathappy:)
Here's chapter 30! Enjoy reading!

Chapter 30 (Final chapter)

10 years has passed since then. Today is Minami's death anniversary and everyone gathered as promised every year to pay
respect to her. They brought their food and would be having a mini picnic near the open area.


"Faster! Faster!" Nami said.

"Nami! Wait for me! Don't leave me behind!" Mina said.

"You are too slow! Come!" Nami said and quickly hold Mina's hand.

"Mina! Nami! Don't run!" Sae said as he tried to catch the running twins.

Sae and Yuki got married right after graduating from their college. Sae currently is a basketball coach at Akiba Academy after Akimoto retired
and he continues to lead Akiba to victory after taking over Akimoto. Yuki currently is helping Kai and Tomonobu in the theater business.
But most of the time, she takes care of her twin daughters.


"Gotcha..." Yuki said when the 2 kids bumped into her.

"Phew...Arigato..." Sae said and kissed Yuki cheek. He then as carries 1 of his daughter up.

"Not fair! Otou san! Carry me! Carry me!" Nami said.

"Looks like I have no choice but to...Yosha!" Sae said and carried the twins and walked on.

"Mohh...Sae be careful...Let me hold one of them for you..." Yuki said.

"Its ok Yuki...I can handle it...Go help Otou san..." Sae said with a smile and continued to walk on.

"Yay! Otou san! Walk faster! Walk faster!" The kids demanded.

"Ok! Here we go...." Sae said and walked faster.

"Mina! Nami! Don't bully your Otou san!" Yuki said.

"Hahaha...Thats reminds me...You and Kai used to do that to me too...And I even have to carry both of you around the house..."
Tomonobu said with a laugh.

"Moh...Otou san...Why are you bringing this up now..." Yuki said and blushed.

"Hahaha...Ok ok...I shall not say anymore...Let's go..." Tomonobu said and walked with Yuki towards Minami's rest area.

"Yuki!" Yuko called out when she saw her.

"I'm glad we make it on time...I thought we were running late..." Riku said.

"Otou san...Are we there yet?" Haru asked.

"Just a little while more...Gambatte..." Riku said as he holds Haru's tiny hands.

"Hai..." Haru said with a smile.

Riku and Yuko got married right after they graduated from high school as planned by Riku's parents and moved into the Kojima residence.
Riku took over his family business as soon as he graduated from college. Yuko did not go to the college as she is pregnant with Haru as
soon as they got married. She is now a full time housewife, taking care of the household and their children. Currently, they are expecting
their 2nd child.


"Yuko...Be careful...Let me help you..." Yuki said and helped Yuko.

"Arigato..." Yuko said.

"We haven't seen since other for like...2 months? Look how big your tummy is now..." Yuki said as she is amazed by the growth within 2 months.

"This little one is eating very well...Thats why..." Riku said as he pat on Yuko's pregnant belly.

"Sister is SO greedy...She keeps eating! Even my share is gone..." Haru pouted.

"Aww...Haru...Your little sister is growing up well thanks to you..." Yuko said.

"Yuko...Did you snatched away Haru's food?" Yuki asked.

"Hehe...I just took some...I never snatched...I just can't resist it as his potions always looks so delicious..." Yuko said.

"Awww...My Yuko is so cute..." Riku said with a wide smile.

"Somehow I feel...Your characters switched..." Sae said with a laugh.

"Maybe..." Yuko said as she looks at Riku.

"Hey!" Kuu shouted and waved at them.

Seeing that Kuu and Mariko is earlier than him, Tomonobu made a joke out of it.

"They are earlier than us...Minami is going to be mad at me...We better hurry..." Tomonobu said jokingly and picked up his walking speed.

"HAHAHAHA"

Kuu went to study game design after his high school. He is now the creative director of a game designing company and the games
he produced is always very popular. He and Mariko got married 2 months ago. Mariko is currently one of the top models in japan and
has just opened her own modeling company with Kuu's help.


"Uncle...Let me help you..." Mariko said and helped Tomonobu carried his bag full of packed food.

"Arigato...Mariko san..." Tomonobu said and handled some of his bags to Mariko.

"Konnichiwa..." Greetings were heard behind Yuko.

Following behind them is Jun and Rena. Both of them are now doctors. Seeing how passionate Jun is about medical and hoping
to be able to help Jun out, Rena decided to take up medical knowledge too. With Jun's help and Rena's good grades, she is able to
get herself well prepared for the medical entrance exams. They then went to the same medical school and got married during Rena's
final year in medical college. Jun just took over his family's medical business and Rena is currently helping him to manage.
They have a daughter named Jurina.


"Mina! Nami!" Jurina shouted and ran towards the two sisters.

"Be careful! Slow down...Don't hurt yourself..." Jun shouted seriously.

"I will...Don't worry Otou san..." Jurina said and continues to run forward.

"Yuko chan...Look at your tummy..." Rena said.

"Its big right? Compared to 2 months ago..." Yuki said.

"Of course...Little baby is growing up everyday..." Yuko said.

"Have you got a name for this sweetie?" Rena asked.

"Mayumi..." Riku and Yuko said.

"Sounds familiar..." Sae said.

"Isn't that your name previously?" Kuu asked.

"Yes...We talked about it that if we ever have a daughter...We are going to name it as Mayumi...To remember our true love since
we were young..." Yuko said with a bright smile.

"Thats sweet..." Yuki said.

"Who else are we missing?" Jun asked.

"The celebrity couple of course..." Kuu said.

"Are they coming?" Mariko asked.

"Yes...Kai went to pick Acchan up at her workplace...They should be here anytime soon..." Yuki said.

"He said we can start off without them if he can't make it on time..." Sae said.

Kai went to college after his high school while Acchan was talent scouted to become a singer / actress. Kai is preparing to take over
Tomonobu's theater business with Yuki's help in managing it. Acchan is now a top composing singer and also a popular actress, winning
numerous awards in both singing and acting. After 10 years of courtship, Kai and Acchan are finally going to get married next month.


"They are always the last..." Kuu said.

"Kuu...What are you talking about..." Mariko asked.

"Last to date...Last to get married among us and now, last to reach here...Probably...Last to have kids..." Kuu said.

"Thats their style maybe...No point rushing them as long they are comfortable with their pace..." Riku said.

"Kyaa...Riku-nyan is so understanding..." Yuko said.

"Wow...Its been so long since I heard that from Yuko...Certainly brings me back to the good old days..." Riku said.

"You mean now you are having bad days?" Sae teased.

Hearing that, Yuko pouted and stared at Riku. That totally made Riku panick.

"OF COURSE NOW IS WONDERFUL DAYS! MARVELLOUS DAYS!!" Riku exclaimed.

"Silly...Of course I know...I was just teasing you..." Yuko said.

"Anyway...How can you predict that so quickly...We just got married only..." Mariko said.

"Of course I am confident of myself..." Kuu said as he tried to flex his muscles.

"If you are talking about the Kuu 10 years ago...Its more convincing..." Mariko teased.

"Hey! You should be helping your husband out and not step on me instead!" Kuu retorted.

"I think Kuu looks more like the one getting pregnant...Look at that belly..." Riku said and slapped his belly fats.

"Hey! Stop that! That's my pride!" Kuu retorted and tried to cover his belly fats.

"Pride?" Yuki asked.

"Erm...Pride of getting a wonderful wife who takes good care of me and makes me good food..." Kuu said.

"Hahaha...Sounds like excuses to me...You better go shape yourself back...Need me to help train your physical up?" Sae asked.

"No need! I am good as I am used to be...There's no need for any training...I am ready for kids anytime..." Kuu said as he looks at Markio.

"Lose that donut off your body first...And I don't plan to have kids yet..." Mariko teased.

"What! You told me you were ready! You can't back off now! Wait till when we get back...I am so going to pass on this piece of donut to you!"
Kuu said seriously as he squeeze his little tummy.

"HAHAHAHAHA"

"It's always such a joy to see everyone gathered here...Arigato...For always making time for Minami and me..." Tomonobu said and bowed.

"Uncle...We should thank you and Auntie...We have learnt and received so much from the two of you..." Jun said.

"Hai..." Everyone said.

"KAI! COME BACK HERE!" Acchan shouted.

They looked behind them and saw Acchan chasing after Kai.

"Help me!!!!" Kai said and hide behind his friends.

"Whats wrong Acchan?" Yuko asked.

"Ask that baka Kai!" Acchan said angrily.

"Its just a mouth! Why are you so stingy!" Kai retorted.

"What did you do this time?" Sae asked.

"I just ate a mouth of the katsudon Acchan prepared...Thats all..." Kai said.

"Thats all? Are you sure?" Jun asked.

"A mouth? How big is your mouth? You ate away half of the bento I prepared!" Acchan said as she showed them the half eaten bento.

"Kai...You are disgusting..." Kuu said while he moves away from Mariko.

"Why are you so far away Kuu? Don't worry...This time, I agrees with what you said..." Mariko said with a smile.

"You all find it disgusting right? Great! I can have all of it now! But Oka san...Don't worry...I will still share with you..." Kai said
and looked at tombstone.

"Kai..." Tomonobu said softly as he is pleased to see Kai treating Minami so kindly.

They quickly settled down and started to pay their respect to Minami. Each of them carefully placed a white rose.

"Arigato Oba chan...Hope you like these flowers..." Mina said as she carefully place the flower.

"Arigato Oba chan...We will be good girls and take good care of Oka san..." Nami said with a smile.

"Oka san...I hope I fulfilled the promise I made..." Sae said with teary eyes.

"I believe Oka san and I feel the same way...You have done well..." Yuki said as she leans on Sae's shoulder.

"Oka san...Gomen...I am late today...Hope you will forgive me..."  Kai said.

"Auntie...Please don't be angry with Kai...He was late because of me..." Acchan said as she locked arms with Kai.

"Don't worry, I believe Minami is more than happy...Knowing that you are finally bringing her a wife and not a girlfriend to see her..."
Tomonobu said.

"Tou san..." Kai and Acchan said.

"Go on and call her too..." Tomonobu said as he was touched hearing Acchan calls him Tou san.

"Oka san...I will be getting married to Kai next month...Arigato...For blessing me such a wonderful son of yours...and us..."
Acchan said and bowed.

"Oka san...Don't worry...I will still take care of Tou san like always and not neglect him...With Atsuko, we will give him double the
care and love...Arigato Oka san...For blessing me with this life that I can continue to see this world..." Kai said sadly.

"Kai..." Tomonobu said.

They all then paid their respect and started to set up their pinic at a shaded rest area not too far from Minami.

"Hows the preparation for the wedding? Need any help?" Jun asked.

"Yes please...This is really very important to me...Can you please check if this baka Kai can grow any taller until the day we get married..."
Acchan said jokingly.

"Well...You should have asked 5 years ago...He might still have the chance to grow another 2 cm then...Now its a little bit too hard and rush...
I might caused Kai to become shorter instead..." Jun said seriously.

"Hey!" Kai retorted.

"Sounds like its beyond hope...Looks like I have to lend him a few pairs of heels...But all of them are my favorite collections..."
Acchan said and signed.

"HAHAHAHA"

"Hey! I don't need that and I don't know how to wear those! Even if you want to regret now! Its too late!" Kai said.

"Are you sure its too late? I still have a month to think it over..." Acchan teased.

"NO! You can only think about me and nothing else!" Kai retorted.

"Moh...Look how cute my little man is..." Acchan said and pinched Kai's cheeks.

"HAHAHAHA"

While everyone is laughing at the silly couple, Riku noticed that Tomonobu is quiet and not eating much.

"Psst..." Riku said and points at Tomonobu.

Getting the hint from Riku, Kai and the others looked at Tomonobu.

"Gomen...Tou san...Is it boring for you?" Kai asked.

"No...Not at all...Seeing you all...Kind of reminds me about me and Minami when we were around your age...It just felt like...
time never passed us at all...." Tomonobu said sadly.

"Tou san...I'm sure Oka san feels the same too...But she would prefer to see you smile..." Yuki said.

"Grandpapa...Please don't be sad..." Mina and Nami said and hugged Tomonobu.

Suddenly, the wind blew a cool breeze at them. Tomonobu looked at the sky and was shocked by what he saw. He saw Minami smiling
from the sky. He could not believe what he saw and rubbed his eyes. Then he looks up again, Minami is no longer there. It is just blue sky
and white fluffy clouds.


"Tou san?"

"Otou san?"

"Uncle? Are you alright?"

"Hmm...What? Did you say something?" Tomonobu asked after hearing them calling out to him.

"Otou san...Are you unwell? Shall we go now?" Sae asked concernedly.

"Is it about the weather? Shall I open up the umbrella?" Kuu asked.

"Uncle...Tell me where you don't feel well...I can help you check right now..." Jun said as he stood up.

"Grandpapa...Are you hungry or thirsty?" The twins asked and offered food and drinks to Tomonobu.

"Wait here...I will drive the car over now...Bring Tou san down later when I call..." Kai said and stood up, preparing to walk towards the car park.

"I will go with you..." Acchan said and followed Kai.

"Wait up! There's no need for that...I am fine...I just thought that...That Minami must be very happy to see all of us here...Minami might have
left but...I feel so blessed to have all of you by my side...Seeing all of you all grown up and setting up your own family...I felt that I have
gained more than losing..." Tomonobu said with a smile.

Hearing that, the couples looked at each other. They are once again reminded, how blessed they are and are really thankful for it.

"Uncle..." Yuko and Riku said. Riku gently touched Yuko's tummy while he hold Haru's hand, giving his thanks in his heart, for being blessed
with a wonderful family.

"I love you..." Kuu said softly to Mariko.

"I know...I love you too..." Mariko said and rested her head on Kuu's shoulder.

"I'm sure Oka san feels the same as you do Tou san...I can feel that she is watching over us even now...She is always with us..." Kai said.

"Me too..." Acchan said and rested her head on Kai's right shoulder.

"Oka san never left us, she is right here in our hearts...Oka san is always with me..." Yuki said as she gently place her hands on her chest.

"Indeed...We are also blessed to have Mina and Nami too..." Sae said and kissed his daughters.

"The research papers that Auntie left behind were really useful...We were blessed to be able to witness all these medical breakthroughs..."
Rena said.

"Indeed... She remained as a doctor till the end...In every aspect..." Jun said and holded Rena's hand.

"I do not know her personally but hearing all the stories about her...I know she is a respectable woman...A wonderful mother..." Mariko said.

"Auntie has this very special presence...She plays one of the key roles in bringing us closer together...With all the things happening
back then..." Kuu said.

"She definitely someone I looked up to after becoming a mother myself..." Yuko said.

"She is like my mother too...In the ways she handles things and words she spoke...She made me realised that my parents are
always doing their best for me...Now I finally understand it after becoming a father myself...All the sacrifices my parents have done
just for me..." Riku said.

"Heard that Minami...Aren't you glad?" Tomonobu said and looked up the sky once again.

They then followed Tomonobu and looked up. Enjoying the cool sunny morning with the people they loves and cares deeply for.

Every year this day, be it rain or shine, they would take time off from their schedule to come together to celebrate their friendship,
family ties and lives they are leading on. It also acts as a day for them to give thanks for the life they are able to lead on. Reminding
them to give their best every day for they know, the people they love, will always be with them and everyday is a gift to be able to be
with their love ones.

@phoenix0i: Thanks! Maybe I updated too fast, thats why you can catch up to the ending..lols

                  Their cheesy moments always makes me smile whenever I write it down...Hahaha :cow:

@chrunoi: Thanks! I finally finished the chapters...Seems so long and I hope its not too boring with all the long dialogs
               I wonder if I should write a long or short story...Still thinking hard...

@cisda83: Thanks...I think our they deserved a good ending after all the trouble I put them through :cathappy:

@mgxx: Thanks!
             Season 2? I have no idea what to write if I continue from this storyline...Hahaha

@NightSky: Maybe I should pair Sae and Rena if I have a story to write...LOL

@junrena: Hahaha...Thanks...Sorry to cause pain to your fav pair at the beginning :bow:

I am in the midst of planning for a new fan fic but....
I really wonder if I should continue writing...As I think, I am long winded...This fic originally I wanted to keep it short...But as I write...It gets longer and longer :panic:
Really thankful to have your support and feedback for my first fan fic :bow:
So many questions in my mind now...Should I continue with the pairings from this fic? Or try other pairings? Still looking into it...So I might take some time off as I plan :cow:

The moment I read this fic, I am totally hooked with this. I guess I am a bit late in finding this but at least better late than never, right? This fic was amazing and consist of one of my favorite pairings and the flow of the story was really good and always keep me on edge. Great work author for this and I do wish that you still write. :)
