I was supposed to be publish this on the 26th day as well... but i changed my mind. I'll update the next chapter, "the celebration of her birthday" on the exact day of her birthday :D

~His Gift Is Not A Pet~

DATE: February 26

Staring blankly at the window, Kahoko was leaning her chin on her palm, waiting for something interesting that might happen. She was at school, in their classroom. Though the whole room was filled with noises from her classmates, in her ear, she hears nothing but the gust of wind and the sways of leaves in the tree.

"Kaho-chan." Someone called, but she didn't seem to hear her.

"Kaho-chan…"

"Kaho-chan—"

"Huh? Oh! Sorry!" she snapped out from her reverie.

"You've been spacing out all the time. What's wrong, Kaho?" the other girl said, Nao.

"I-It's nothing! Don't mind me." She shook her hands.

"Anyway, Kaho-chan. That girl, Nami-san is outside, looking for you."

"Amou-san?" she asked, the two girls nodded. She immediately stood up to approach the said girl at the door. Her mind was filled with things, and also wondering why she would look for her.

As soon as she stepped outside, Nami surprised her. "Hino-san!" she stepped back, gasping.

"Amou-san! Please don't startle me again."

"Sorry, sorry! Anyway…" Nami got her mini notebook and pen, and positioned her hands to write. "What do you want on your birthday?"

"What do I want on my birthday?" she repeated, already on the verge of laughing.

"All I want is a pet." She joked, but Nami mistaken her as being serious with her answer and quickly wrote it on her notebook.

"That's all I want to know. Thank you, Hino-san! Jaa!"

Kahoko continued laughing as she went back to her seat. "Geez, what was that for?"

A big imaginary question mark appeared on top of the head of her two best friends while mumbling; "Huh?"

~Meanwhile~

Kahoko was walking through the Music Ed's building to hand some books to Ousaki Shinobu who is currently assisting the orchestra.

While passing through the hallway, she saw Yunoki Azuma walking in her direction.

"Ohayoo, Yunoki-senpai!" she greeted, pausing her feet from walking.

"Ohayoo." He stopped in front of her, gradually leaning closer to her face, his fingers were playing with the tip of her hair.

He smirked mischievously. "Be sure to take care of it." he said.

He started walking away, leaving her dumbfounded.

Confusion occupied her mind until she reached the place. "Take care of what?"

She pushed the door open, a certain green-haired lad beamed in her sight. He was about to blow his trumpet but didn't continue when he noticed her presence.

"Kaho-chan!" he waved his trumpet in the air.

"Hello, Hihara-senpai." She entered.

"Kaho-chan, I'll be sure to pick the best!" he said, which gives another confusion to her.

"Pick what? What's going on?"

As soon as she finished her business there, she bid goodbye to every person in the room, bowing before closing the door behind her. When she faced the direction, she let out another gasp when she saw Shimizu Keiichi standing in front of her.

"Kaho-senpai…" he muttered sleepily.

She placed her hand on her chest, sighing in relief.

"Shimizu-kun, don't scare me off like that."

"Gomen, Kaho-senpai… I just want to say that I want you to look forward to it." he said, smiling. His angel look mesmerized her before snapping out.

"Look forward to what?"

When she passed by "Class 1-A's" room, she walked away quickly, preventing someone to say odd things to her again.

She kept walking, mind set on thinking, reminiscing the scenes earlier.

"Be sure to take care of it." she shook her head, trying to get it off her mind.

"Hino."

"I'll be sure to pick the best!"

"Oi, Hino!"

"I just want to say that I want you to look forward to it." she slapped her forehead.

"Hino!" the person behind following her called for the third time.

"Tsuchiura-kun? G-gomen… I didn't notice you…"

"It's alright. What were you thinking anyway?" he walked closer to her.

"Just some… uh…" she said, poking her index fingers. "Nothing important!"

"Hontou?" he leaned closer to her, giving a suspicious look.

Kahoko sweatdropped "H-hai…"

Ryou placed a hand on her shoulder before passing through.

"I'll grant it." he uttered, which led her to drown in the confusion world. Before she could ask anything, he was already gone.

Back to their classroom, she thought she was already safe, but…

"Hino-san! It's already waiting for you." The golden-haired lad, Kaji Aoi said to her.

"Eeh? Waiting for me…?"

The teacher, who suddenly walked in, saved Kaji from getting questions to Kahoko.

After that, none of the guys who said those confusing things to her ever showed up in dismissal time.

~While on the Boys' Part~

Ryoutarou, Kazuki, Keiichi, Aoi and Azuma were all walking together in the sidewalk, probably planning on going somewhere.

They met Len along the way.

"Oi, Tsukimori!" Ryou called him, which in turn just receive a quick glance from the lad.

"Where are you going?"

"Home." Len simply answered.

"Do you want to come with us, Tsukimori-kun?" Aoi kindly asked, trying to keep his patience.

"No."

"Aren't you gonna buy it for her?" Kazuki added.

"I don't have time for that."

"But it's already tomorrow, Tsukimori-kun. You don't want her upset, do you?" Azuma asked.

"I can handle it on my own." Len answered, and walked away from them.

"At least he has still some concern." Ryou said and the others nodded, making their way to the place they are going to.

When Len got home, he went straight to his room; he pulled out his shoes and sat on his bed.

He picked up an empty boxed wrapped in pink wrapper.

With a small card saying: "To Kahoko"
