Roll fanfic! Enjoy, forgive typos, errors, etc.

ALSO-SoapBoxDerby does not own The Power Rangers XD

Yuki stared out the window. The leaves were brown now and most of them littered the ground. He saw the wind blow through them and wished he could just blow away. He sighed heavily and thought about how great it would be to just crumple up and go wherever the wind took him. To have that kind of freedom.

He was so lost in his thoughts he almost didn't hear Tohru talking to him.

"-ki?" Yuki had just caught the end of her sentence. He snapped his head toward her and blushed.

"I-I'm sorry Miss Honda…Could you repeat that?" He said. Tohru smiled up at him.

"I said, don't you have a meeting to get to, Yuki?" She said again. Yuki hung his head in dismay.

"Yes…I guess I should go…" He heard Tohru laugh softly.

"Do your best Yuki…" She said, her smile brightened somewhat. He returned the smile and turned, heading down the hall.

"YUN-YUN!!" Yuki froze and his shoulders went rigid. He turned, his eyes half closed and a tired look on his face.

"Yes, Kakeru…What is it?" Yuki sighed. A thin boy with black hair bounced up to him and smiled.

"I came to tell you the meeting was cancelled!" He said. Yuki stared.

"What? Why? Who authorized that!?" Yuki blurted out. Kakeru just gave him a bored stare and scratched his head.

"Kimi and Chibi-suke are absent today. Everyone's out with a cold, don't you know this is flu season?" He replied. Yuki sighed and nodded.

"Alright fine…Then I'll head home…Are you going home too?" Yuki asked. Kakeru put his hands behind his head and stared up at the ceiling. He shrugged.

"I dunno….There's not really anyone at my house right now…It'd be boring." He said. Yuki stared at him. He wished he could have half the carelessness that inhabited Kakeru.

"Hey Yun-Yun, did your mom ever sign that thing to get you your phone?" Kakeru asked. Yuki's eyes widened and he nodded, pulling a small black phone from his pocket.

"AH! IT'S SO COOL!!!" Kakeru said. He grabbed it and stared at it, pressing buttons.

"Oh! It has a camera and games and even e-mail! You got a good one Yun-Yun!" He yelled. Yuki shrugged, staring at the strange boy.

"You don't have any pictures on it Yuki! You need to take pictures of all your friends! You can set them up as a background if you want!" Kakeru said. Yuki froze. A blush crept across his cheeks and he sighed heavily.

"What….What good would it be…." He muttered. He closed his eyes and opened them slowly. A bright light caught his gaze and he staggered as circles swam in front of him.

"Wow! You're really photogenic Yun-Yun! You didn't even pose and you still look princely!" Kakeru said. He held a small blue phone in his hand and was smiling up at a disgruntled Yuki. Kakeru pressed a few buttons then threw the phone toward Yuki.

"There see! Now you're my background!" Kakeru exclaimed. Yuki stared at Kakeru's phone, a small picture of himself staring back at him.

"Wha-Why would you want me as a background!?" Yuki muttered. Kakeru stared.

"Are you kidding me! Haven't you ever watched The Power Rangers?!" He yelled, grabbing his phone back from Yuki. Yuki gave him a dismayed stare and Kakeru took that to mean no.

"The Red Ranger and the Black Ranger are always best friends! It's the natural order of things! I mean, you're the leader, so you're red. And I'm black because I've already called it! Kimi is obviously pink and Machi can be yellow! I figured we'd make Chibi-suke blue since no one really liked the blue one…" Kakeru said. He had a finger to his lips and he stared hard at the floor. Yuki stared hard at him.

"Best friends….you want to be my best friend? Really…?" Yuki stuttered. Kakeru snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Yuki.

"I've actually wanted to be your friend for a while….You always seemed like you could use one Yun-Yun…you always looked really unhappy." Yuki stared hard at Kakeru and blushed.

"You really are…friendless aren't you…?" Kakeru whispered. Yuki's eyes widened and he stared hard at him.

Kakeru smiled and laughed a little.

"You don't have to look so scared. It's just…everyone loves Prince Yuki…But…I've always wondered if anyone liked Yuki-Yuki. If anyone would like you if you weren't being princely. That's what a best friend is for Yuki. It's someone that'll like you no matter how you're acting. Whether its throwing a tantrum, or scarfing down food, or even something simple like drooling when you sleep…I guess I've just always wanted to be someone who saw you doing those things…" Kakeru turned and walked out of the front doors. He inhaled deeply taking in the sweet smell of autumn. Yuki ran out the doors after him staring, transfixed. He couldn't think of anything to say.

Kakeru sat down on the ground and sighed.

"Friendship grows in…unlikely places…its like mold!" He exclaimed. Yuki gave him a confused look and Kakeru laughed.

"It is! It's sneaks up and grows when you're not looking, and once its there….its almost impossible to get off…I'd like to see you angry…or sad…I want to be there when it happens and I want to stay there until you're over it. That's what best friends do….I guess I've just always thought we'd make a great team. Yuki and Kakeru….or Kakeru and Yuki? Which one sounds better!?" Kakeru looked up and saw Yuki staring down at him. His face was unreadable. Kakeru frowned, then patted the ground next to him. Yuki hesitated a moment, then sat down. As soon as his butt touched the ground, Kakeru grabbed him in a headlock and yelled,

"SAY CHEESE, YUN-YUN!!" Before snapping another picture with his phone. Yuki barely had time to stare up into the lens before a bright light flashed, and blinded him again. Kakeru laughed softly.

"There! Another one of the dynamic duo of Yuki and Kakeru!" He said. Yuki blushed slightly.
"Hold on!" Kakeru yelled. He took out Yuki's small black phone and smiled, taking a picture of himself. He fiddled with some of the buttons before tossing the phone back to Yuki.

"There! Now you've got me as a background! We make a good team, huh Yuki? Like peanut butter and banana's!" Yuki made a disgusted face and Kakeru frowned.

"Bad match?…Ok, lets see….Like Power Rangers and Monsters!!" Kakeru exclaimed.

Yuki stared and smiled.

"How do those two things go together?" He asked. Kakeru smiled a little and thought.

"Well…without monsters, you'd just have a bunch of crazy teens in tight costumes….so…we complete each other!" He exclaimed. Yuki stared and nodded slowly.

"Maybe…" He said. Kakeru held up his phone again.

"Ok! This time you have to smile! Go on, show me that famous princely smile!" He said. Yuki blushed a little and produced a small smile.

"Wow, that's terrible!" Kakeru exclaimed. Yuki looked taken aback and glared.

"Wh-What do you mean?" He asked. Kakeru put his phone in his mouth and leaned toward Yuki. Yuki did his best to try and scoot away, but soon felt hands tickling up and down his stomach and under his arms.

"AHHAAHA! ST-STOP! STOP IT!!! AHHAHAAAHAAA!!" Yuki yelled between laughs. Kakeru stopped, taking his phone out of his mouth and quickly snapped a picture.

"There! Now that's something only a best friend would see! This'll make a great background…" He said. Yuki blushed and stared at him. He spun around and laid his back against Kakeru's. Kakeru eased his head back onto Yuki's shoulder.

"This is the start of something great…I finally get to meet the real Yuki…" Kakeru muttered. Yuki shrugged.

"I don't think I can live up to your expectations…" He mumbled.

Kakeru laughed.

"That's the great thing about best friends Yun-Yun! There are no expectations…" He said. He sighed and Yuki felt his body relax.

Yuki's eyes widened and a small smile crept on his lips. It grew, and soon he was chuckling softly to himself.
