Hello! Today I present you my new story about Akihisa and Minami (she's better than Himeji)! I hope it will be good and that you will like it.

And that I will put here my favourite Tsuchiya soon :)

Read and review, please!

I, Shouko and time limits

Daruma.

It's a head without eyes, thing connected with a New Year's tradition in Japan. If you have a wish and you want it to become true this year, you draw one eye. If the wish becomes true, you draw the second eye. If it doesn't, you burn daruma during the next New Year's night.

"I wish Yoshii Akihisa will fall in love with me" Shimada Minami said with a daruma in her hands.

Then she put it on the shelf and sighed. I will probably have to burn this daruma next year…

"Summon!"

Students of Fumizuki Academy already came back to school after the New Year's break.

They are all idiots, Minami thought. To start a year fighting… That's just stupid.

She didn't pay much attention to fighting students, though. Shimada was looking through the window, at the square in front of the school. Many students were standing there, talking and laughing, taking this opportunity to meet friends from other classes before the lessons start.

I guess I started to like Japan after all, Minami thought.

She then noticed a new person that appeared on the square.

Aki!

Her heart started to beat faster, but then she noticed that he wasn't alone.

He was with Himeji Mizuki.

Shimada didn't even have time to get sad.

"Shimada Minami."

She heard someone behind her and froze. At first she thought it was Akihisa or Mizuki, but she knew it was impossible and silly.

She then recognized the voice.

"Kirishima-san?"

Kirishima Shouko nodded.

Shimada looked at her. Why representant of class A, the best one, spoke to a student of class F, the worst one? Suddenly, Minami realized it.

"I don't know where Yuuji is" she said simply.

Shouko shook her head.

"I'll find him myself later" she replied. Shimada seemed to be a bit confused. Shouko looked through the window. "Yoshii Akihisa and Himeji Mizuki" she said, maybe more to herself than to Shimada.

She noticed them quickly, Minami thought. Kirishima looked at her again.

"You have some problems" she stated.

Minami stepped backwards, totally surprised. Shouko made a step forward.

"With Yoshii."

Shimada looked away, blushing. Shouko continued.

"I understand you."

Minami froze. This time it was Shouko who looked away.

"I… owe Yuuji really much" she said after a moment of silence. "But he always rejects me. That's sad and disappointing" Shouko looked at Minami, "but I will never let him go."

Shimada was already staring at Kirishima for a while.

"Shimada" Shouko said calmly "tell me what's wrong."

Sakamoto Yuuji really liked his friends. Akihisa, Hideyoshi, Muttsurini, they all were reliable (to some extend) and fantastic.

But they were idiots and Yuuji always appreciated moments when he was alone, like now.

He didn't even know where they were and he didn't care about it. It was the beginning of the year and he hasn't met Shouko so far.

Sakamoto sat more or less comfortably on his pillow (he was in class already) and sighed.

"Yuuji."

Shouko.

Damn.

He quickly stood up and turned to find himself face to face with his nightmare. It took him a while to notice that Minami was standing behind Shouko. She looked quite embarrassed.

He concentrated on Shouko, though.

"Hi, Shouko."

Kirishima narrowed her eyes.

"Hi, Minami" Yuuji added quickly.

"Oh, hello" she replied quietly.

"What do you want, Shouko?" Sakamoto asked. Apart from marrying me…

He noticed she was hesitating for a while.

"We need your help" she said finally.

Eh?

"Yuuji" Shouko continued. "Shimada really likes Yoshii and she wants to be his girlfriend."

Yuuji glanced at Minami and she saw it, suddenly realizing what Shouko just said.

"Kirishima-san exaggerates!" she shouted. "Don't listen to her! It's not like that!"

Yuuji kept looking at her and then he grinned and looked away.

"I always knew it…"

Shimada looked at him, confused.

"I knew you loved him."

She turned red.

"NOOO! I don't!" she screamed and ran to Yuuji. "You know I don't, you know!"

Yuuji was laughing, but unexpectedly Shouko appeared between them and hit him without hesitation.

"You're too close to a girl, Yuuji" she said calmly.

Minami's face turned to its normal colour as she looked at Sakamoto curling up on the floor and started whispering "I'm so sorry" all the time.

Shouko took an inhibitor out of nowhere and Yuuji suddenly felt better and stood up.

"Yuuji" Kirishima said "we have to make Yoshii love Shimada."

"Of course, I understand" he said, staring at the inhibitor like hypnotized. Minami remained silent.

Yuuji looked at her.

"Minami."

She turned to him.

"If you don't want us to…" he started, but Shimada interrupted him.

"It's not about wanting help or not" she said.

Yuuji thought that she sounded like she wanted to cry. He didn't understand many things and he didn't know how to act. He look at Shouko, seeking help.

Kirishima noticed he was looking at her and returnem the stare.

"Shimada will probably go back to Germany after this school year ends."

What?

Yuuji couldn't believe his ears.

That's impossible.

He really liked her.

She can't go away.

She can't leave their class.

"Minami…" he started, but he was interrupted once again.

This time, the door opened and Sakamoto, Kirishima and Shimada turned to see who came.

Akihisa and Mizuki.

"Oh, hi everybody!" Yoshii shouted with a big smile on his face. Mizuki also smiled and waved her hand to greet the rest. They both didn't notice the bad atmosphere in the room.

Yuuji, worried, turned to Minami, but she was already running away, leaving Akihisa and Mizuki completely surprised.
