There she stood. His longtime neighbor and close friend. Konoka Takeuchi, the daughter of Tamori Takeuchi, one of Japan's leading caterers of confectionary cuisine. Basically, Yasuchika's older brother's source for sugary cakes, chocolates, and candies. Anyway. She was beautiful. Far more beautiful than Chika had ever remembered her. Her hair had grown to a long length, and she had apparently permed since the last time he had seen her. Her smiling face had lost its mischief and was now filled with maturity. She was the most beautiful student in Chika's class, or so he thought so. He was amazed at how the (literally) girl-next-door had changed.

HANINOZUKA MANSION, EIGHT YEARS AGO

"Happy birthday, Konoka-chan!" Mitsukuni Haninozuka, better known as "Honey," congratulated his neighbor. His OTHER neighbor, Takashi Morinozuka, nodded his own congratulations for the 6-year-old girl.

"Yeah, Noka-chan… Happy birthday." Chika had turned red when Konoka gazed at him, eyes brimming with happiness. It was her sixth birthday, a few months after him. That was probably the first day that Chika noticed his feelings.

Konoka, a bit sugar high from the cake her 9-year-old senpais had bought for her, glomped Chika, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a sticky kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you for your present, Chika-kun! I love the bunny plush toy you got me, Chika-kun, you're so nice!"

Yes, Chika had fallen in love. His six-year-old self had identified his feelings justly.

Coincidentally, this was before Chika had grown increasingly frightened by Honey, cakes, and bunnies.

However. There was a cloud in Yasuchika's happiness. A big, ominous cloud of darkness and anger. As he watched Konoka from a distance, he saw the reason for his anger appear as if by magic.

"Konoka-chan! Want to hold my bun-bun?"

Konoka laughed as her adorable senpai clung to her, offering his plushie. Mori-senpai, another one of Konoka's favorite people, picked her up and lightly tossed her a little bit in the air, catching her lightly. She giggled, her cheeks turning pink in the spring heat.

"Hello, Honey-senpai, Mori-senpai! How was your first week of being third-years?" she asked sweetly, causing Chika (about 10 yards away, and hidden) to redden at the sound of her voice.

"Great, Konoka-chan! How about you? You're a third-year as well! In the middle school. Are you going to go for the class council?"

More lighthearted smalltalk. Those three looked like a happy family.

"AAAARRRRRGGGHH!!" Chika hollered, using a karate chop to slice one of the branches off of a nearby sakura tree. A passerby jumped away, staring bewilderedly at Chika and his glasses. As the boy tiptoed away, Chika heard him whisper "the demon captain!"

It was SO unfair. Konoka looked like a major fan of Mitsukuni, especially now that he had denounced all things manly and was cuter than ever. AND joined the host club. Was there to be no chance for Chika himself?!

THE GIRL HE LOVED WAS IN LOVE WITH AN ALIEN!

That was what added insult to injury. A-Konoka loved his brother. And B-HIS BROTHER WAS A FREAKING ALIEN!!!

Chika slumped to the ground in despair over his unrequited love as he heard a rumbling behind him.

"YA….SU….CHI….KA!!!!"

Chika ran, oh yes, he ran. Satoshi Morinozuka was hot on his heels, and the alien-lover, the girl he wanted, Konoka Takeuchi, was still with his creepy cake-loving brother.

Life was not fair for Chika.

A/N Heya! Whoa, my third fic so far. Yay! I decided to use a less popular character for an experiment. This will be a very short fic, but it's experimental. Please review~! Thanks for reading!

I got the idea when reading the manga chapter when Chika fights Honey. I wondered what would happen if Chika liked a girl who sorta liked Honey? Haha. Chika's awesome.
