1 Maki's Story
----------------
Author's Note:
Maki is yet another one of the characters that I really like from SD – though I don't think Takehiko developed him much 'til near the end. Anyway, seems that Maki been pretty neglected from fanfics – the only two I found were yaoi at that (aarrgghh), though of course understandable, what with Mitsui, etc., to write about - so anyway, I just thought that well 'if I can't read one, I'll make do with writing one!' Let me know what you think =)

Maki despite his athletic capabilities had only a glimpse of the girl charging straight at him, before he had his breath knocked out and his books and papers went flying.
Running into Maki, or anyone else made up like a brick wall, was not that much fun either. And the girl had only a moment to register the collision before she landed hard onto the cold grounds of the school corridor. Surprisingly though, with an exception to a sore behind, she was relatively uninjured and managed to pick herself up without any help.
Pushing up her wide-rimmed glasses back into to place, she started to grab his books and papers off the floor, heaping them together hurriedly. Shooting him only a momentary glance to make sure he was listening, she started to talk, firing words at him rapidly.
"Look, I'm sorry I ran into you, very sorry actually! It's just that I have an advance class in about-" Flicking a quick glance down at her watch, she continued "2 minutes!! And the room being all the way on the other side of the building, it's probably going to take me at least ten to get there. Even if I could fly I wouldn't likely make it – and of course that's not scientifically possible now is it?"
Trying to keep up with what she was saying, he managed to catch the last part and was about to respond when she cut him off.
"No, don't talk to me!! I don't have time to talk right now. Anyway as I was saying, I was rushing so much to get to the room in the 4 minutes I'd had, which we've already established isn't possible – but it was worth a try as I hate being late, though I hate waiting even more – boy, you sure have a lot of books with you – anyway, .. where was I?"
Noticing Maki's lips twitching, she help her a hand up to stop him from talking.
"Please don't distract me, I'm thinking ….. ah, sodesu, I was rushing, yes? So I didn't quite see you standing there. I mean you're quite uh, big, but I was really not looking – so very sorry. Which reminds me, why didn't you move out of the way?? You look like one with quick reflexes, sporty – hang on, are you not that basketball guy? Ah, captain of the school team?"
By that time, Maki had given up on trying to get a word in and was now crouching along with her collecting his scattered things. He was not even quite listening to her - she seems capable in carrying the conversation on her own just fine – so now he was a little lost to say the least.
=Did she ask me something?=
"Did-"
Before his managed to voice aloud his thoughts, she cut him off yet again.
"Oh well. No worries."
She had briefly paused to glance over at him as she had waited for an answer. Upon seeing his blank looked, she wondered whether it was because he couldn't comprehend what she was saying to him, or whether he was just a little slow … she vaguely remembered reading somewhere that big, sporty guys like him tended to be a little less intelligence that the average – but of course there wasn't any statistics to back that up …. like she said, 'Oh well, no worries.'
Grabbing up the last piece of paper from the floor, she checked the time again.
=Arrghh .. 3 minutes past – Late. Gotto go. Gotto run=
Walking quickly up to him, she dumped the whole piled of it all into his hands.
"There you go. Sorry again - Have a nice day. Good-bye."
Without waiting for a reply, or giving another glance back, she hurried along the corridors. Maki, still a little dazed from the whole 'experience,' watched her retreating back as she turned a corner and ran out of sight.
Looking back at hand, the mess of his notes and books, Maki couldn't help but *sweat-drop*
=What was that?=
And he couldn't shake off the feeling that he'd seen her somewhere before.
