Chapter 1

The blue haired lad leaned on the wall as the other students passed by him, chatting with one another happily, ignoring the humid weather.

Ichijo Raku was a man of many… qualities. Son and heir of a Yakuza family, he was stuck to being named as the – Delinquent. Something you don't see too often in schools.

He leaned on the wall wearing his regular school uniform as he waited for someone. He was currently outside the school gates, staring at the azure sky as he thought, "Why's she so late…?"

Just then, a familiar voice spoke to him.

"O-Ohayo… Ichijo-kun…" a girl with brown long hair greeted him as she clutched her bag tightly, looking at the ground instead of him. A faint blush could be seen on her face but Raku didn't even notice it, being dense himself… Surprised by the girl's greeting, he chocked on his own words. "O-Ohayo Onodera …" Onodera Kosaki was a girl with many of the waifu qualities. Like literally. An adorable girl who's cute, nice and gentle… and caring…

A short girl wearing glasses suddenly walked beside Onodera. (I'm just using Onodera since it's more common)

"Kosaki, hurry up we're gonna be late…" when she looked at Raku, she changed her emotionless expression to a … somehow surprised but still emotionless… "I'll go first." She looked at Onodera, as if giving her a sign before heading in.

Miyamoto Ruri. Onodera's best friend and also the quiet girl. She helps Onodera with the thing most of the time and yeah…

Now there was an awkward silence between the 2 teenagers. Just staring at their feet not knowing what to say or even do, they just walked together and went inside the school, Raku totally forgetting who he was waiting for. As they headed to their class, Raku decided to start up a conversation that he hoped, would last for some time.

He cleared his throat and began. "So… What're you gonna do for summer break..?"

Onodera flinched at his sudden question but responded back, still not looking directly at him. "My family and I are gonna go to Hokkaido…"

"Hokkaido hmm?" he replied.

Onodera just nodded and then continued walking. A thought then came in to Raku's mind.

Family? Then Haru's also going with her then… seems like I won't be able to invite them then… Deep in thought, he didn't notice that both of them had already reached the class.

"Ichijo-kun, we're here…" she said as she slowly walked in, not wanting to part with him. Though they were in the same class, their seats were actually quite far away from each other. "Ah gomen."

After that short and I'd say awkward conversations of theirs, both of them parted ways and went to their designated seats.

A boy with short messy blonde-ish green-ish hair approached his table. He wore a cat-like smile and then grinned at Raku. "Raku, how's it going with Kosaki-chan?" he asked in a teasingly tone.

"… No progress…" Raku hung his head down in disappointment as he replied to his best friend's question. Meet Raku's best friend, Maiko Shuu! The boy who always annoys our adorable Ruri-chan and MOST of the time play pranks on his best friend and the other girls.

Shuu chuckled to his best friend's response and then sat on the table in front of Raku. "Raku… I think you're gonna have to make a hard choice this year man…" He scratched his cheek with his finger and then continued, "You know? We're already in our 3rd year…"

"Choice? Why would you say that?" Raku asked in disbelief. He looked up from his table and lifted an eyebrow. Shuu closed his eyes and then smirked.

Their homeroom teacher, Kyoko-sensei then came in. Shuu quickly went down from his table and then patted Raku on the shoulder. "It's just a feeling man…"

After that, he went back to his seat, returning back to his happy-go-lucky self.

Choice…? What kind of choice do I have to make? That Shuu…

After they greeted Kyoko, they sat back down and waited until the attendance recording was over. Raku on the other hand, was still thinking about what Shuu said. He took a glance over at Onodera to see what she was doing. Kawaii… She was there sitting still, looking at the teacher with her usual adorable face. Kyoko-sensei then called Raku's name.

"Here!" Raku raised his hand and then sat down after his name was recorded. "Kirisaki-chan, you here?" Kyoko called her name. No response… When Raku looked at the seat beside him, it was empty. A thought then came up in his mind. Areh…? Chitoge…

He closed his eyes and then crossed his arms. He thought hard for about 2 minutes and then it hit him.

"OH!" He abruptly stood up from his seat, slamming his hands on the table, causing everyone to stare at him in question. "Ichijo-kun, what's wrong?" Kyoko asked him. Raku then grabbed his bag and then pushed in his chair.

"Gomen, I forgot to tell Chitoge bout something! I'll bring her here later!" He quickly left in a rush and left the classroom, causing everyone to being left confused. Onodera just tilted her head in confusion as she lifted her eyebrow. Ruri, same as always, just sat on her seat, not giving a care about anything while Shuu just grinned at his best friend's actions.

Damn it, I forgot to tell Chitoge that I was gonna wait for her in school! He whacked himself in his mind and continued running to Chitoge's house. Then again, Chitoge isn't that dumb you know… But, he still went to go get her. He knew that Chitoge was gonna kill him if he goes to get her but hey, he's already running to get her. No turning back now.

After 30 minutes of non stop running, he finally reached his destination.

"What… I… should have… used… the bus… instead…" he muttered under his breath as he tried to catch some air. He stood behind the tall and 'fancy' gate before using his phone to call Chitoge.

After a few rings, she finally picked up.

"Oi, what took you so long to pick up? Hurry up and come out already." He told her in an annoyed tone as he wiped his sweat away. Here it goes…

"Ha? Oi stupid beansprout, you're damn late ya know? Rather than that, I'm already late because of you!" she shouted to him on the phone, causing Raku to slightly ALMOST lose his hearing.

After a minute or so of bickering, Chitoge finally hanged up and soon came out of the house with her blonde hair down as usual and her noticeable red ribbon up.

The gates then opened, letting Chitoge out of the house. Both of them then glared at each other before walking to school. Seriously, still walking?

Now that both of them were there, the awkward silence over took them… Raku, again, started to make a conversation with her.

"Is Claude following us?" he asked, looking at her as he dangled his bag over his shoulders.

Chitoge looked at him with her royal blue eyes and responded, "I don't think so…" She then turned away from him and averted his gaze, looking at her shoes instead. She could feel her face heating up from his stare.

She frantically thought to herself, Damn it Chitoge, act cool around him! Don't lose your composure! She mentally slapped herself and then took a breath in real.

She continued to walk with him and then looked at his pendant around his neck. "Say, is it fixed now?" She pointed to his pendant as she lifted her eye brow. Ever since that night when she confessed that she had a key and both of them tried to unlock the pendant, it broke because of Chitoge's key stuck inside the key hole.

Raku looked at his pendant and replied, "Still nope. Old man said that it's pretty hard to fix since it's actually some type of rare type of pendant…" he held his pendant in his hand and then placed it back.

That pendant was a goodbye gift from his very first love. There are currently 3 girls who hold the key to unlocking this secret memory of his. If it opens up, the girl who holds the key to unlocking it, is the girl who he made some promise with when he was 4… So far, the girl who fits the girl in his memory, judging from her personality is Onodera. Then again, Chitoge knew about the word, Zawse in love and even held a key…

If it's Chitoge… what am I gonna do…? He thought in his mind. All this time, he's been thinking that Onodera was the girl. But, he's starting to doubt about that thought now…

Almost nearing the school after 1 hour of walking since they walked, he asked her a question. "Say Chitoge, are you free this summer?"

Chitoge flinched at his question and then looked at him, blushing. "Why…?"

"I wanna go to the beach this summer. Wanna come? I'll invite the others too." He responded with a smile on his face. Chitoge stopped for a moment and then replied with a smile. "Sure!"

After that short talk of theirs, they stopped at their school and then quickly came in before the gates had closed. Everyone was probably in class, studying but them. It was already 10 am, so it's now their PE period. Raku quickly went to the boy's locker and changed into his track jacket and track pants while Chitoge changed into her Track shirt and blue track shorts.

"Can't you run any faster Raku?" a vein popped on Chitoge's head as they ran for the field. Totally far ahead from Raku, she got annoyed and then slowed her speed. "Oh shut up. Unlike you, I'm not a gorilla…" A fist then stopped near his face and then he immediately took back his words.

Before they even knew it, they reached the field with the boys doing basketball while the girls were playing soccer. Their PE teacher approached them with a strict face as he growled.

"Where were you?" he asked in a low and dark voice as he tapped his foot in the ground. Everyone in the class then looked at them, as if waiting for something to happen. That's where their acting comes in…

"Coach, we have to discuss with our family about our relationship because you know… about that." Raku scratched the back of his head and then wrapped his arm around Chitoge's waist, telling their coach that they were in fact, together for a reason. Chitoge then continued after him, "Coach, you can our parents about it but erm… you're making everyone stare at us you know…" she softly giggled as she tried to overcome her blush because of Raku's action… although he was also blushing from what he was doing.

Their PE coach then cleared his throat when he remembered about their family and then let them go off. Both of them went to their designated sports and then Chitoge chatted with her friends while Raku played basketball with his classmates, being on the same team as Shuu.

"Chitoge-chan, why were you late?" one of her friends asked her with a smile as some of the girls crowded her. "Oh… well I woke up late…?" Chitoge faked a giggle and then started walking to her position. After the game had started, she quickly kicked the ball to her classmate and then the ball was passed to her. When she was close enough to score a goal, she effortlessly kicked the ball and then scored. She raised her hands in the air and cheered with her friends with a bright smile.

The guys on the other hand, were staring at the girls with happy faces. "Watching girls play is fun hmm…?" one of the boys mumbled to his friends as they continued watching them. The other groups of boys, instead of joining in the others, were playing basketball.

"Ichijo, don't you think Kirisaki-san is hot?" one of his friends asked him with a teasing tone. Raku continued to dribble the ball and then passed to Shuu. "Ha? Well she is attractive… That's for sure…" he replied with a blush as he looked at t he girls and then looked at Chitoge. Her hair was somehow shining from the sun and she looked so … Beautiful?

Shuu continued to dribble the ball, showing off his skills to the other team until he looked at Ruri which she returned him with an annoyed expression. After that look, Shuu continued to dribble towards the other court, only tripping in process causing the other team to get the ball.

"Oi, Shuu! Eyes on the ball man!" Raku told him as he ran to the player who had the ball. He tried tackling him but failed to do so, causing the other team to gain a point. This eventually led them to a score of 13-19, causing Raku's team to lose.

Raku sighed at his defeat and then walked over to the girls' area, looking for Onodera. I definitely can't miss Onodera playing! He thought in his mind as he clasped his hands together, finding for her. Shuu suddenly appeared beside him wearing a cat-like smile.

He waved over to Ruri, causing her to take a ball from a basket and then kicking the ball to his face, leaving a red mark.

Raku sweat dropped at the 2's reaction and then went back to finding for Onodera. Finally, he found her. She was in the defender's position, running around as she tried to pass to other girl's which she failed to do so. Chitoge's voice suddenly called out.

She ran near Onodera and then shouted, "Kosaki, pass here!" she waved her hand, signaling for her to pass the ball to her. Onodera eventually passed to Chitoge which succeeded. Chitoge dribbled the ball towards the goal post and then scored.

Kirisaki Chitoge was a girl who had many talents of her own. A beautiful exotic blonde who was a half, was a student among the school to be in the top 5 in the exams and also was one of the most athletic students in the school. She was both a genius and a prodigy in many different things, eventually having a nickname – Beauty Prodigy. A very unique name that was given by her own fan club… Which half of the club were filled with boys and then the rest were girls.

After their PE period, it was finally lunch time.

As Chitoge walked to Raku's and the group's table with her lunch, the other students whispered with one another.

"Look, there's Kirisaki-sama!"

"The beautiful prodigy is here!"

"She looks gorgeous…"

Even though she was a completely normal girl, her lower classmen were thinking of her as if she was a celebrity or something…

She sighed and then finally sat on the chair. "Why do the lower classmen feel as if I'm something special?" she muttered under her breathe as she ate her noodles. Among the group were Raku, Onodera, Ruri, Marika, Shuu and Tsugumi.

Onodera smiled at her best friend and then replied, "It's because you're so beautiful and kind, Chitoge-chan."

Chitoge smiled at her best friend's opinion and continued to eat until Marika butted in. "Raku-sama!" the red headed girl rushed to his side and then hugged him… almost squeezing. "Ah… Tachibana… where were you… you're choking me!" Marika then let go of her beloved sama and then answered with a cute smile. "I had to go for some check up to see how I was doing!"

"Are you fine then?" Raku asked as he coughed. Chitoge would usually try to tear them apart but she decided that it was futile even if she did…

"Yes!"

A short blue headed girl then approached them and hugged Chitoge. "Ojou-sama! I missed you!" The girl, Tsugumi hugged her tightly and then let go. "Tsugumi? Where were you?" she asked in a surprise tone. She didn't see her at all during PE… Or even at home last night.

"Claude-sama gave me a mission last night but I finished it." She gave a response and then looked at Raku, giving him a glare.

As usual, she was wearing her boy's uniform because it was easier for her to move around in.

"Neh, Tsugumi-chan, you like Raku right?" Shuu butted in with his cat-like smile as he asked her in a teasing tone. Immediately, smoke came out of her ears and her face became red. "WH-WHAT HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT YOU FILTHY CREATURE!" Tsugumi grabbed his collar and then yanked him. Mean while, Onodera was giggling while Ruri was just drinking her latte in silence. Though amused by what Tsugumi was doing to him. She softly mutters under her breath with a smirk. "Good for you…"

Finally, Raku decided to ask them. "Guys are you free this summer?" Everyone in the group looked at him in confusion so he continued.

"I wanna go to the beach with you guys, so are you free?"

Shuu was the first one to give a reply, "Swimsuits? Girls? Count me in man!" he wore a cat-like smile again, only to be punched by Ruri in the face after. "Of course I'll come Raku-sama!" Marika grabbed his arm and then positioned it to her chest, making him blush madly. This time, Chitoge yanked them apart and gave her a glare causing sparks to fly between them.

"I'll come if ojou comes…" Tsugumi answered. "I'm going Tsugumi!" Chitoge redirected her focus on Tsugumi as she gave a cute smile. She placed her hand on Tsugumi's shoulder and then wore a mischievous smile. Hehehe… I'll make her wear that again… Chitoge mentally giggled to herself in her mind. All that remained was Onodera and Ruri…

Raku looked at Onodera, as if wanting her to go as well. Unfortunately, she couldn't since she's going with her family to Hokkaido. "I can't sorry… We're going to Hokkaido…" Onodera showed a sad smile, making everyone silent until Ruri interrupted.

"Hello, Onodera-san. Yes. Ichijo-san is inviting us to go with him to the beach during summer break but Kosaki is going with you to Hokkaido right? Can she come with us instead then please? Yes that Ichijo Raku. Thank you very much. I'll see you again, bye."

She placed back her phone to her pocket and looked at them with a straight face. "Kosaki can come."

Everyone stared in shock at her… "Did you just call my mother…?" Onodera asked her with a surprised face. The girl just nodded at her question without an expression. "Why are you guys staring at me like that? You look like idiots…" she voiced out, not even trying to sound polite at all. She continued, "Anyway, I'm also coming so everyone's coming right?"

Raku nodded his head as he thought, everyone's coming hmm. "Say, can Haru also come?" he suddenly asked which caught Onodera off guard at his question. She thought for a second as she placed her finger on her cheek. "She can't… Remember? The first years are going on a trip to Osaka." She answered with a sigh of disappointment. All of the first years are going to a school field trip in Osaka and they're going to be staying there for 3 days and 1 night.

Everyone said at the same time, "Oh…"

"Then it's decided then! We'll meet at the Tokyo station at 9 am next Monday okay?" After Raku confirmed all the details, they returned back to their classes and then finally,

School ended.
