Past

"I want to know which one of us is stronger." Yanagi Renji declared looking at his best friend, also double's partner. He watched in determination the look that his double's partner gave him at his declaration. He knew somehow the other felt the same.

"Is it that important? Together we can conquer the world." Inui Sadaharu answered as he pushed his glasses. He was trying his best to ignore that feeling. The feeling of dominance, to overcome the only partner he has ever had was overwhelming him too.

Yanagi held his racquet and pointed it at Inui, "I need to know." He declared. "I need to know which one of us is stronger." He repeated firmly.

"So be it."

As the two young boys passionately played against one another with determination; a young girl not far away watched the two with pride and love. Her heart was also beating fast; she had never seen such aggressiveness from any of them before. It was as if they were trying to prove something. Mishima Fay watched as they had battled throughout the day with the outcome almost there when…

"Hey, you three! What are you doing here? The court has been closed for hours now." A man shouted not far away from them.

Yanagi and Inui stopped their movement at the call. The girl looked at the man and rushed to him, "We're sorry." She apologized bowing, "We will leave now." She said motioning for the two boys to follow her.

Later when they both had cooled down; they sat on a bench by a noisy park filled with elementary children. The three of them were quiet while they just observed at their surroundings.

"There is an 87.2% that the girl in pink will topple down the slide and start crying." Inui stated.

"99.2%" Yanagi and Mishima said together.

Inui sighed looking wryly at them, "You two won't quit, will you?"

Fay smiled at him and then turned to look at Yanagi. "Well, I am glad that you two are not fighting anymore." She said softly as her eyes moved from Yanagi to Inui.

"We were not fighting." Yanagi stated.

"Poo." Fay let out as she made a face as she stood up. She looked at them both and smiled, "I have to go now." She spoke softly. She leaned down and kissed each one of them on the cheeks, "Let's always stay together, okay?" she shouted as she ran off.

Present Day

Rokkaku

"Amane, don't you dare say another bad pun!" Kurobane shouted after kicking his double's partner to the ground. He glared at the boy on the floor and smoke was almost coming out of his ears. There were times he just couldn't take the puns.

"Bane-san! Stop it." Fay exclaimed running towards him, "He can't play if you keep hitting him like that." She reasoned holding onto his arm.

"Che…" He muttered moving away from the beaten up boy on the floor. He turned around looking at his classmate. "Why are you here?" He asked. "Didn't you say you had to go and do something special?"

She smiled at him and nodded as a reply, "Yes, but I wanted to make sure you don't kill Amane first." She giggled as she eyed the beat up tennis player on the floor. "Well anyway…" she smiled as she straightened herself, "I will see you all later." She waved as she left.

"She is rather happy." Kurobane muttered annoyed.

"She is probably going to see one of them." Saeki spoke as he walked towards them with his hands in his pockets.

"One of them?"

"Data freaks."

"Che…"

Rikkai Dai

"Out by 92.2%."

"Out! Game and match Yanagi." Bunta announced.

Yanagi walked back to his seat and took a towel wiping his forehead with it.

"That was a good practice." Yagyuu spoke walking towards him.

"Yes." Yanagi nodded.

"Your data was a bit distracted though, you kept being off by 0.5%." Yagyuu noted as he crossed his arms.

A light smile touched Yanagi. "It's fine."

"Renji~!"

Both players stopped doing what they were doing and looked towards the voice. In fact most of the players on the court stopped and wondered who would dare interrupt Rikkai Dai's tennis practice.

"Who is that?" Nioh asked as he stood behind Yagyuu looking curiously at the figure that was approaching them. "Isn't that Rokkaku uniform?"

"Whoever it is…" Bunta snapped his gum, "Should not come closer." Glancing at their vice captain, "Sanada is not happy." He said grinning.

"Sanada's never happy." Nioh muttered stretching his arms and crossing it behind his head. "She's cute though." He grinned.

Bunta rolled his eyes at Niou's comment.

"Renji!" The girl smiled approaching him. "Hi." She waved.

"You're early."

"I am learning from you."

"Renji! Introduce me to this young girl here." Nioh whispered with charm while he put an arm around her shoulder.

"There's an 82.3%..." Renji declared.

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Nioh stammered.

"That he will almost get his arm cut off." Yagyuu finished for him.

While Fay looked at Yanagi speaking to him softly; Yagyuu was helping Nioh off the floor as he held onto his aching arm from the hold she had on him earlier. It was then the strict vice captain of Rikkai Dai made an appearance.

"Young lady," Sanada began sharply, "You are disrupt…"

Yanagi stood up and interrupted the vice captain, "This is Mishima Fay, Genichirou."

Fay smiled at him. "It is nice to meet you, Sanada-san."

Sanada sighed and looked wryly at her, "Same as well."

Fay grabbed Yanagi's wrist. "I will take him away for today, Sanada-san." She announced playfully. "It is his birthday and I owe him one."

"Its' hard to imagine Yanagi has a birthday." Nioh grinned. "May we join you in this celebration?"

She pulled her tongue out yet playfully again, "Sorry." winking at him, "This is a special one." She called out as she dragged Yanagi away while he carried his bag.

"Who is she?" Jackal asked. "I wasn't aware that Yanagi was seeing someone."

"They are just friends." Sanada answered as he lowered his cap. "And now everybody get back to practice." He ordered.

Now moving her hand from his wrist to his own; Fay pulled him as she ran towards the bus. "Come on." She said as she hopped on with him behind her. "We're picking up Sadaharu." She told him while she took a seat on the bus.

Yanagi sat down next to her. "You don't have to do this."

Fay looked at him sincerely as she placed her hand on his, "Renji…" she said softly, "I want to."

Upon Fay's words, he smiled gently at her and nodded.

Seigaku

It was sometime later that they arrived at Seigaku. Fay got down and pulled Yanagi with her yet again as she ran towards the tennis court. They made an obscure combination and did stand out as well. A lot of people were wondering why a Rikkai Dai and Rokkau student were on the Seigaku campus. Fay was excited as she got there, she found the players practicing when her eyes caught on that someone special, "Sadaharu~!"

Most of them stopped as they saw the over excited girl running towards them with a surprised guest.

"Isn't that Yanagi Renji?"

"What is Yanagi doing here?"

"Sadaharu!" Fay yelled running towards him as Yanagi walked calmly behind her. Fay ran to Inui hugging him tightly, "Hi." She greeted in excitement ignoring the gaping from others at her for hugging the data man.

Inui looked at her, "What are you doing here?" He asked. "And you brought Renji with you."

Fay nodded. "It is his birthday, remember?"

Inui sighed opening his data book, "Yes it is." He recalled flipping through the pages. He then closed it and looked at her. "And you're…"

"Also, 99.99% you're coming with us so we can celebrate." Fay interrupted with a wink.

Inui sighed again with Fay's own date analysis.

"Oy! You're interrupting our practice!"

Fay turned to see a tall boy walking towards her. He was with another boy who wore a bandanna. She calculated something, "Momoshiro Takeshi." She spoke, "You're a second year, loud, annoying, impulsive…."

Momo placed his finger on her forehead, "I didn't know data freaks came in girl form as well." He interrupted.

Fay scowled at him as she slapped his hand away, "and rude too." She added with her arms crossed.

"Momo, please refrain yourself from being rude in front of Mishima Fay." Inui said seriously as he jotted down some notes on his book.

Fay pulled her tongue out at Momo who scowled at her. "Come on, Sadaharu we're going." She commanded taking his hand.

"I have practice."

Fay stopped, her eyes watered, her lips turned into a pout, and she…

"I'm coming." Inui gave in with a sigh.

"100% that always works." She said cheekily dragging Inui away while Yanagi followed behind.

"They are weird." Momo muttered.

"Freaks." Kaidoh muttered as well, more to himself than anyone else.

"It's been a while, Sadaharu." Yanagi spoke while they sat on a bench in a park when Fay went to get something.

"Yes." Inui agreed. "She always brings us together for a special occasion."

"My birthday is hardly called anything special."

"There was an 83.7% you were going to say that."

Inui sighed, "One thing's for certain though." he added. "We still can't say not to her."

"True."

"Here you go." Fay exclaimed running back holding three cans of drinks. "Ice coffee for Sadaharu." She said handing him the ice coffee, "Coke for Renji and me."

They both thanked her as she sat in between. She opened her can of coke and drank it whole. "So cold…." She smiled happily as she swayed her legs.

"How is Rokkaku, Mishima?" Yanagi asked her.

Fay made a face, "No talking about school on your birthday, Renji."

"Every time we ask you that question, you avoided it." Inui pointed out.

"He is right."

Fay stopped swaying her legs and held her hands lightly, "I'm fine." She said softly not looking at them.

"From your data, it is always 92% that you don't look at people when lying." Inui added.

"And 82% you're clutching onto your hands."

Fay sighed, "I'm fine, really." She said standing up. "I just missed you guys." She whispered turning around with a smile on her face. "I miss the good old days where we used to hang out."

"You could've just come to Seiagku."

"Or Rikkai."

She shook her head, "I told you I wasn't going to choose." She turned walking ahead, "Let's go to my house now. I have prepared a feast." She invited as she walked ahead with them following her.

Past – when they were 9

"I'm not choosing." Fay stubbornly proclaimed looking at the two boys in front of her.

"You have to choose." Yanagi pressed and persisted. "One of us will have to do the math quiz with you."

She shook her head, "No."

Inui sighed, "Fay…"

"I will not choose between you two." She added looking away from them, "I will choose Aki to help me."

"Aki?!" they both exclaimed.

"Yes."

Past – when they were 11 (white day)

"No."

"No?" Yanagi asked surprised as Fay refused the gift he gave her. "I have to return it in favor of Valentines Day."

"No." She repeated refusing to accept it, "I will not accept gifts from you or Sadaharu."

Yanagi was confused at Fay's response but she never answered him.

Past – when they were 13

"Seigaku? Rikkai Dai?" Fay asked surprised as she stood in front of the two boys.

Feeling tears form in her eyes; she wiped them with the back of her hand. "Why?" She asked in a shaky voice.

"We believe it's time we realize our own potential." Inui answered pushing his glasses back.

"He is right." Yanagi agreed.

Fay felt her lips tremble. She knew that one day they would separate, but she was not anticipating it to be so soon.

"Will you come to Seigaku?"

"Or join Rikkai Dai?"

Fay stopped upon hearing their questions. She looked at them and moved her hands behind her back. "None." She said softly.

"None?"

"I will never choose." She whispered walking away and not giving any more explanation.

That was the last day for the three people to be in the same school together.

Present Day

Fay was washing the dishes as Inui helped clean the table while Yanagi went to wash his hands. "That was delicious, Fay."

She looked at him tenderly, "Thank you." She answered putting the last dish away. "I hope Renji liked it." She remarked as she took a towel and dried her hands.

Inui watched her and smiled. Mishima Fay was the first girl whom he was relaxed with. "On a serious level, how is Rokkaku?" He asked again. He also had the tendency to worry about her a lot.

"It's fine…" She said softly.

Inui did something unexpected. He walked up to her and placed his fingers under her chin, "You're not very good at hiding your feelings." He said quietly raising her face to his.

If you all knew how good I am at hiding my feelings, she thought. She was going to say something when Yanagi walked in. Fay took a quick step back from Inui her face flushed. She knew the way they had stood a minute back looked compromising. Her heart fluttered as she turned to Yanagi. "Present time." She said smiling at him.

"Thank you for the meal, Fay." Yanagi sincerely spoke. "You're good as always." He remarked as he watched her rummage through something. Mishima Fay had cooked almost all her life. Being an only child, she also didn't have a mother and lived with her father who was always busy writing his novel.

"You made a cake?" Inui asked.

"Nope." Fay added, "I actually bought him something. Or actually I bought the both of you something."

"The both of us?" The two boys asked surprised.

"It's only fair." She replied handing them each a perfectly wrapped gift.

"It is only Renji's birthday." Inui pointed.

"You know my policy, Sadaharu." Fay said with a smile, "You're both equal and will get everything the same."

Inui sighed, "Yes." He replied out loud as his mind went to that 'stupid policy' that she had made up. Since the three of them were always together; a lot of people had teased about Fay ending up with one of them. She valued their friendship so much that she did not want to risk losing any of them. She had always been kind to both of them and treated them equally. During valentines, gifts, and anything else; she had always made sure they both get the same thing. But she never accepted anything from either of them, and somehow Inui knew that his feelings for Mishima Fay were beyond friendship.

"Ipod?" Yanagi asked surprised. He was expecting a gift, but an ipod? And not only one, but she had bought two. One for him and the other one were for Inui. Yanagi watched her as she smiled at him and his heart made a dance. Mishima Fay was one of the only female friends he had and she understood him very well. Her data was as accurate as his, maybe even better. He knew that he didn't look to her as a friend, but something more. At the same time, he knew he would never do anything to compromise their friendship.

Fay stood next to him and flipped the ipod in his hand, "Look." She said pointing to an inscription that she had asked to engrave on it.

Yanagi looked down and a light smile hit his face, "Are you never going to let go of Doc and Professor?" he asked amused. Doc and Professor had been a nickname she used for both of them. She had always teased them about it and she knew they hated it when she publicly says it.

"Nope." She said innocently, "That is my nickname for you two."

A light smile touched both of their lips.

They chatted for some time when finally Inui stood up. "I am going to go now." He announced. "Thank you, Fay."

Fay nodded, "Thank you for coming." She replied watching him leave. Just as Yanagi stood up as well after Inui left. Fay's father walked in, "Fay…"

She turned around and smiled, "Yes, father?" her eyes admiring the older man who she so loved and adored. She looked at the older man, he had still not aged that much yet. But she had to laugh at his attire; his shirt left hanging outside of his pants, hair all messed up, and he looked like he hadn't slept.

Mishima Jin looked at Yanagi, "Oh, hello Renji."

"Mishima-San." Yanagi said with a bow.

Fay looked at her father, "Did you want anything from me?"

Jin pulled a sheet of paper from his shirt pocket and handed it to Fay. "Grocery shopping." He told her, "I need to finish my novel before deadline and don't have time to do it." He explained, "So be an angel and do your father a little favor."

Fay rolled her eyes snatching the paper, "Daddy…." She said softly. "Its 8 PM at night." She argued, "You're going to send your little angel out now?"

"That's why Renji will help you." He said smiling, "Anyway I need to go and get this story done."

Fay sighed, "Renji…"

He took his jacket and hers, "Let's go, Fay." He said smiling, "It's the least I can do for today."

She slipped her jacket on and smiled back at him. "Thank you." She smiled following him outside. They walked out and enjoyed the cool breeze surrounding them. Fay felt a slight chill from the cold and hugged herself as she walked quietly.

"Wear my jacket." Yanagi ordered removing his and placed it over her shoulders.

"I already have one on!" She exclaimed, "And you'll catch a cold."

He ignored her proclamation and zipped the jacket with her in it. "I don't get cold easily." he explained.

Fay rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah…" she muttered hugging herself.

A light smile touched his lips as she walked closer to him. It was a nice fair walk until they reached the grocery store. Fay looked at the list and picked out everything she need. "Why is he buying for ten?" she muttered as she picked out some fresh milk while Yanagi pushed the cart.

"Knowing your father and his time issues, he probably thinks that 89% it's best if he buys everything you two need for the next month to save another trip of not coming here again."

"I know that already."

Yanagi looked at her, "Then why ask it?"

Fay sighed looking at him, "It was a rhetorical question…." She muttered picking out some chips for her to munch on at nights when she was either reading or playing games on her PC.

It took them another good half an hour to get everything she needed and at the cashier Fay got an idea. "Renji?"

"Yes?"

"I'm going to ask them to deliver this." She told him, "Free to go somewhere with me after this?"

He looked confused, "Sure, but…"

"Don't worry. As long as you're with me; you know father's alright with what time I get home." Not like he will notice I am gone, she thought wryly.

"Ice cream?" He asked surprised as she bought him and herself a cone. "I'm not really into ice cream…." He muttered, but he took it from her hand.

"Not in public, you're not." She teased as she sat on a bench at the park while enjoying her vanilla cone. She loved going out at this time of the night, it was eerily peaceful, but she enjoyed it. The darkness surrounding them gave a nice sweet chill to it. One might call her weird or a freak, but she enjoyed it. Instead of feeling afraid being alone in the park at this time; she knew she shouldn't be. Not with Renji sitting next to her. "Renji?"

He turned to face her, "What is it?"

"Did you enjoy today?"

"Very much." He nodded. "I thank you."

"You owe me a promise, did you forget?" She said softly.

He finished his ice cream and looked at her. "No." he said softly. He smiled at the thought as well. He knew what she was asking. She had been the only one to see his eyes when they were younger and what he liked about her that she didn't push it. But she had surprised him when she told him that she wanted to see them when they were older and she was asking now.

Yanagi looked at her again and opened his eyes slowly.

Fay's breath caught her in throat. It was funny how Yanagi could look like a whole new person with his eyes open. She found herself absorbed by the beautiful pair of hazel eyes that were watching her. He reminded her of many people she knew who possessed eyes like that. Without even thinking, her hand found itself on the side of his face, "You have beautiful eyes, Renji." She said softly. "I don't know why you hide them."

Yanagi surprised her by taking her hand and holding it still. He placed his other hand on her shoulder and pulled her towards him gently. "Renji, are you…." She began alerted, but he placed his lips firmly on hers.

"100%." He said against her lips as he gave her a light kiss.

The taste of ice cream still lingered on both of their lips as they kissed lightly. Fay shivered against his touch and found herself leaning closer as his arms came around her. In the haste of the kiss, she opened her eyes and found him staring back at her as well. With that realization, she quickly moved away immediately feeling cold at her withdrawal and she stood up hastily. "I…." she stammered. "I'm going to go…" she said turning to flee, but he caught her upper arm.

"Fay?"

"What?" she whispered not looking at him. She couldn't look at him. Not after what she had said. Not after wanting to treat them both equally. Not after Renji kissing her like that.

"I'm not letting you run back home alone." He said firmly moving his hand from her arm to her hand so she would not escape. "Come on." He ordered as he led the way.

The walk back home was quiet. It was not the comfortable quiet they were used to. It was the awkward kind; the kind that made both people felt like they were strangers. Finally when they reached home; Fay stood by the door. "Thank you…" she said softly still avoiding his gaze.

"Fay…." Yanagi said softly. "Please forget about what happened."

"But it happened."

He walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "It was impulsive." He explained. "You know I would never do that to any of you."

For the second time in an hour; Yanagi pulled another impulsive act. He held her hands and pulled her in for a hug. "There's an 85.2% that you're not angry at me, but stunned at what we did." He analyzed, "Also a 100% that you're going to forgive me."

In spite of herself she chuckled as he held her. Her arms were restrained by his, but she was comfortable. "I forgive you." She said softly, "But it won't happen again." She said sternly.

"I know." He kissed her forehead. "Good night."

"Good night, Renji." She said softly walking back in. She didn't turn to look at him once. But it was only when she was inside; she realized that she still had his jacket on.

"What?" Fay demanded angrily looking at Amane who was hovering over her. It was the morning after and she was pissed off. Not only had she not fallen asleep, but the stupid kiss Yanagi had given her kept replaying all night in her dreams and thoughts. Therefore, it had resulted in her looking and feeling like crap for not getting any sleep at all.

"She's in a biting mood today, Dabide." Kurobane shouted from the other side. "Stay away."

Amane immediately walked away. There was no telling what Fay would do to him in this mood. She was more vicious than Kurobane when she was in a bad mood.

Fay ignored him and sat down on the bench. She was frustrated and she didn't know what to do. She was going to snap again when she saw another shadow towering over her, but she stopped. "Sadaharu?" she asked surprised.

Inui smiled at her. "I forgot to give you these yesterday." He explained his reason for being there by pulling out some books in front of her.

She received them feeling her heart aching. She knew she didn't do anything wrong, but she was feeling guilty. She stood up hugging the books to her chest. It was the data she had requested from him about some players for her own game. She exchanges data with both Inui and Yanagi, but they never used it the advantage of their teams. This was more of a personal hobby for the three of them.

"Is something the matter?" Inui asked.

Fay stood up and shook her head. "No." she said softly. She pushed her hair behind her ears annoyed that the wind was blowing it into her eyes. "Since you came all the way here; do you want to have lunch or something?" She offered.

"Lunch would be good."

She nodded as she picked up her stuff. "I'm leaving." She announced at the group.

Kurobane sighed as she left. "Something's not right." He muttered.

Saeki stood next to him watching Fay leave with Inui. "Love problem?" he asked.

"Mishima? Love problems?" Kurobane asked surprised. "I doubt it and with whom?" he asked.

"You're such an idiot." Saeki muttered. "She's always with Yanagi and Inui." He explained. "Maybe they're not friends anymore…" he said more to himself than Kurobane.

"You look very upset."

Fay looked up. That was the first thing Inui had told her since they sat down and ordered. Instead of going to a café, they had ended up sitting in the park as usual waiting for a hotdog stand to pass by so they could order. "I'm fine really." She said softly. "I was just shaken up a little."

"Renji kissed you."

Fay froze.

And not only that, but she turned into a thousand different shades of red.

"It's alright." Inui said softly. "It had to be one of us." He said placing his hand on her palm.

"N…No you idiot!" she snapped angrily surprising him. "That took me by surprise! I am not going to choose between any of you!" she yelled. All the frustration that had built inside her came pouring out.

"B…but…"

"Don't interrupt me!" She snapped. "I will fix this."

"Fix this?"

"Kiss me."

"K….kiss you?" he asked startled, his voice louder than usual. He looked at her and was trying to contemplate if she had indeed lost her mind or not. "Fay…"

"Then it's fair." She said grabbing the collar of his shirt and pulling him towards her. "You're thinking I'm crazy a 100%."

"I'm more thinking I'm crazy a 100% because I'm not obje…." He tried replying, but it was muffled as a pair of warm lips found themselves on his. Inui kissed her so lightly. It was barely a touch. He was afraid of hurting her, and worse. Renji had kissed her last night, and what if she's analyzing whose better?

"Sadaharu, you idiot! You're analyzing while kissing me." She muttered.

That jolted him and he took action. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her thoroughly. She responded to him and moved her hands to his face removing the frames that he used to cover his eyes.

Inui moved away gently as she held his glasses. He watched her as she sat away from him their faces so close. She was flushed from the kiss and she was looking at him. He moved his face away, but she caught his jaw. "You have the bluest eyes I've ever seen." She smiled. "Don't hide them from me."

"How did you know?"

He turned to her when she asked that questions. "How did I know what happened last night?"

She nodded.

"Mizuki Hajime."

Fay groaned and smacked her forehead. "That blabber mouth." She muttered, and then she stopped. "Oh no…" she whispered. "If….If….If Mizuki told you, then…." She stammered paling at the same time. "Oh no!" she said horrified. "Everyone knows!"

"Hmmm…" Inui thought rubbing his jaw. "That is a dilemma."

"When did this happen? No one was around? How did he see what happened?" Fay demanded looking at Inui as she stood up. Then she sighed smacking her forehead in a groan and collapsed back onto the grass. "Sadaharu!~" she wailed in defeat.

Inui sighed, "Calm down."

"I will not calm down!" she yelled. "And how could you be so calm!?" she demanded. "You're involved in this as well…."

It had taken Inui a good half an hour to calm her down and he hated leaving her, but he had practice and he had better not slack off. Fay sat there annoyed and feeling all alone as well.

"Love problems?"

Fay immediately scowled at that voice. "Get lost you pompous ass!~!"

Mizuki Hajime stood there with his arms crossed. He twirled a strand of his hair amusingly as he watched her sit there. She was obviously annoyed at his presence, but he didn't care. The more annoyed she was, the more enjoyment he would get out of it.

Fay stood up and pointed her finger at him, "You've been spreading rumors about me!" she said angrily. She was glaring murderously at him and Mizuki knew if looks could kill then he would be dead by now.

"Something that happened in front of my eyes is not a rumor." He explained.

Fay looked at him exasperated. "How dare you go tell people that I kissed Renji~!" she yelled angrily. "What you saw was none of your goddamn business."

"You kissed Renji? Yanagi Renji?" Someone asked interrupting Fay's outburst.

Fay paled, and not only did she pale, but she wanted the sky to strike her down and kill her right there and then. She turned embarrassingly towards the source of the voice. It was none other than… "Bane-san?!"

Kurobane stood there holding his jaw. He had one arm crossed against his chest and he observed the environment around them. "Is this boy bothering you, Fay?"

Fay let out a sigh. "I'm so screwed." She muttered softly as she shrugged her shoulders. She picked up her bag and started walking away.

Kurobane frowned and ran after her totally ignoring Mizuki who just stood there dumbfounded. He ran after her and put a hand on her shoulder, "Fay?" he asked quietly asking her to stop. "Are you alright? Maybe you need an ear?"

"I'm so confused…." She said softly. "I'm always 100% aware of my surroundings and my feelings. But I'm so confused." She said softly falling onto the floor. She sat there bending her knees and hugging it to her. "I think I did something stupid."

"Kissing Yanagi Renji?"

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." She muttered softly. "I kissed Sadaharu as well." She groaned smacking her forehead.

"Wait a minute?!" Kurobane said confused. "You kissed them both? Together?" he asked surprised.

"No, you idiot!" She snapped angrily. "We're not like that."

Kurobane let a sigh and sat down next to her. "Fay…. Are you in love with any of them?"

Her cheeks heated. "No." she said softly.

"Mishima Fay, it's obvious that there is only one of them that you love." He insisted. "It's human nature." He explained. "You've been with them both for many years now. I'm sure your heart leans towards one of them."

"No." Fay argued shaking her head. "I promised myself never to choose."

"Do you think the promise you made to yourself is fair to you?"
