Alright so I've been wanting to do this for some time now. It's been dancing around in my mind for a while and I just decided to say F it, I'm gonna write it. I have other stories that I'm still working on, but I needed a brake from that and I just can't get this idea out of my mind. Well, this is my first A S N fic so don't be too hard on me.

I don't own After school nightmare.

Mashiro Ichijo was growing tired. He desperately wanted to decide what he wanted to be, but neither his body or heart would give in to the other. He loved Kureha and wanted to stay by her side as the man he knew he could be, but his body yearned for Sou. For some reason his body reacted fiercely when he was in contact with Sou.

He wanted to make them both happy. He wanted to be happy, but how? Choosing one over the other would surely bring heart ache to someone and he didn't want to see either of them hurt. He sat in class and looked over at Sou. He was listening to the teacher and writing notes. Mashiro smiled sadly then turned his head.

Ever since Kureha's teacher quite, her class has been split up so Kureha was now in class with Mashiro and Soa. He looked at her and she seemed to be too lost in her own thoughts to pay any attention to anything at the moment. She was looking out the window so she didn't see Mashiro looking at her either. He gave her a sad smile as well.

What was he to do? He had decided a while ago that he would no longer attend the after school dream classes. It wasn't helping him as much as he wanted it to and to be honest he didn't want to graduate that way. If he did that meant that he would forget all about both of the people that understood him the most. They both seemed to understand him more than he did himself.

Why would he let that go?

As the day went on Mashiro continued to think. He could come up with only one solution to the odd predicament that he was in. It may not solve his problem completely, but it would work for the time being. All he had to do was get both Soa and Kureha to agree to it. Well, that wasn't gonna be easy. They both couldn't really stand the other all that well. They looked at each other as rivals.

No matter. He would bring his idea to their attention and either they would agree to it or neither of them would have him. It was as simple as that...right? Well, at least it'is worth a try. He would have to do it at the perfect time and make sure it went right or it would all end in disaster.

" Mashiro! Are you going to have lunch with me today? I made you something special. " Kureha said with a smile.

" Yes, of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I have something I want to talk to you about ok? " Kureha nodded and smiled even more at Mashiro then reached up and placed a soft kiss on his lips before running off in the opposite direction.

Mashiro watched as she disappeared in the crowd of students. He loved how cheery and energetic she was at times. It brought a smile to his face to see her that way. He placed his fingers to his lips and blushed. Every time he thought about kissing her it brought back memories of the night they shared together. With that thought he frowned. Even as special as that night was for him he wasn't completely satisfied.

He knew that the part of him that wasn't satisfied was the part that longed and needed a mans touch. He knew that in a way Kureha probably felt the same. He was a man, to some extent, but he could never fill her up the way a man should. The way he wanted to be. That's why his plan just had to work. For all of their sake. If it didn't then he was afraid that none of them would ever truly be happy.

Mashiro walked into the kendo club's dojo and, just as he had expected, he found Sou. He always tended to go and practice when no one else was around yet he never went when they really had practice. Mashiro slowly opened the door and hesitantly approached Sou.

" Mashiro...why are you here?"

" I needed to talk to you. "

" Have you finally come to terms with the fact that you are actually a woman? " Mashiro just stared for a moment.

"...No, Sou, I'm not a woman. I'm a man. "

" In that case there is nothing for you and I to discuss. Now leave me. I have to practice. "

" Actually I wanted to talk to you about something that has to do with that. Will you meet me today during lunch? "

" ...Where? "

" In the northern garden. I'll be sitting under the Sakura tree. "

" Fine " With that said Sou went back to practicing and Mashiro turned and walked out of the dojo.

Once he was out he smiled. Well, the easy part was done. Now all he had to do was convince them to do what he thought was the right thing for them all. Boy was that gonna be difficult.

Mashiro walked to the home economics class as soon as his class was over. He did this every time he and Kureha had lunch together. They smiled at each other when she noticed him standing outside of the class. They were still cleaning the class before lunch. All of the girls in the class smiled and cooed at him with heart filled eyes, but they all knew that he was now dating Kureha.

Her friends all smiled and told her how lucky she was to have Mashiro Ichijo as her boyfriend then the lunch bell rang. She just blushed and ran out the class to him. They held hands as they walked to the northern garden to have their lunch. Kureha pulled out some ootoro and okaki and sat in out on a small paper plate for Mashiro. His eyes were wide with surprise. She usually brought something like a sandwich or onigiri, but nothing like that.

" Well? Go ahead Mashiro, try it. " She smiled at him as he picked up a piece of the tuna sushi and placed it on a rice cracker. He took a bite and, much to his surprise, it was delicious. The rice crackers were buttery and crispy and the sushi was flaky and tender. He turned and looked at her, but couldn't say a word. She blushed and looked down.

" Y...you don't like it. I understand. I won't get mad if you spit it out. I just wanted to make you someth- " He cut he off when he kissed her. She was a bit shocked at first. He never really kissed her like that with out her asking him to, but she didn't think too much about it. She wanted to enjoy that kiss while she could. He pulled away and they both blushed.

" Did...did you make that yourself? " He asked

" Actually yes! I did this time. I wanted to make something for you myself since everything else before now was made by others with my help. I chose to take home ec., even now that I'm a third years, so that I could make sure that I am a great cook for you. I want to make sure that you have a nice and healthy meal everyday. " Mashiro smiled, but then he heard foot steps approaching them. His heart started beating faster and faster.

Sou looked out the window at the northern garden. He could see Mashiro's legs as he sat under the tree, but that was all. He couldn't even see if he was already eating or not. He hoped that he hadn't already started eating. That way they could eat together. He walked out of the school building and started walking towards Mashiro.

He decided to try and surprise him by walking up on him from behind, but when he walked around the tree he stopped. He had no idea that Kureha would be there as well. Why would she need to be there? Mashiro didn't mention that she would be there at all.

" Why is she here? " Was the fist thing that came out of Sou's mouth as he stared down at them. Mashiro's heart was racing now. He looked over at Kureha when she grabbed his hand and held it.

" Mashiro? What's going on? What is Sou talking about? "

" S-Sou...please have a seat. "

" I'd rather stand. " Mashiro tightened his grip on Kureha's hand as he tried to convince his self to talk.

" What are you doing here Sou? " Kureha asked

" I was invited here. Why are you here? "

" This is where Mashiro and I always have our lunch together. "

" Tch...I'm going back inside. " Sou looked at Mashiro then turned to leave, but was stopped when he felt something grip his pant leg.

" Wait! Don't go! " Both Sou and Kureha stared at Mashiro. He was holding on to Sou's pants, but still had the fingers of his other hand interlaced with Kureha's.

"...Mashiro...? " Mashiro turned and looked at Kureha with pleading eyes when she called his name. She quickly understood. She gripped his hand tighter and nodded. He smiled at her then turned to look at Sou. He looked down then began to talk.

" I need you to stay Sou. I have to talk to the both of you about something that's very important to me. " He looked back up at Sou. " Please...? " Sou looked away from Mashiro. He could never say no to him, no matter how pissed off he was.

" Fine " Mashiro let go of his pants. Sou turned and leaned on the tree then spoke.

" Talk "

" D-Don't rush me! "

" Tch..." Kureha looked up at Sou with a frown then back down at Mashiro. He let go of her hand and looked down.

" From now on, I've decided that I will no longer be going to the sleep classes. I've put a lot of thought into this. I don't want to graduate like that. If I do then I will forget about everything...including both of you and that's not something I want. I am going to stop attending school after this semester since it is our senior year. I want to continue to live my life as it is. I don't need that class to have happiness. All I need are the two things that mean the most to me. You two. "

" What are you trying to say Mashiro? " Kureha asked.

" What I'm trying to say is...I want to get my own place and live my own life...and I want both of you to come with me. " He looked at Kureha then up at Sou. They both seemed to be thinking about it as they stared.

" But...does that mean that you've decided which you want to be? A boy...or a girl? " Mashiro looked down at Kureha's question.

" No...I'm not exactly sure which I am, but...I've come to the conclusion that...I don't really care. I've lived all my life up until now as a boy, but not a very masculine boy. I'm neither a girl or a boy. I'm both and because of that I am in love with the both of you. That's why I made this choice. I'm gonna do this whether you come with me or not, but...I think that we could all be happy together. "

" That's stupid. How could the three of us be happy together when she and I want you to our selves? We can't stand one another. " Sou said.

" I thought about that as well. The only logical answer to that is if we are all together. "

" What do you mean by ' together' ? " Kureha asked

" Instead of me being with just Kureha or me just being with Sou, I could have a relationship with both of you and...you two can have a relationship to. "

" Wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you actually implying that I date you and...her? Aint no way in hell. No...I won't do it. I only want you Mashiro."

" And what's wrong with me? It's not like you are anything special to me either Sou. I think it would be better if you didn't come along anyway. That way it will be just me and Mashiro."

" Get real! Like I'd just let you have her that easily. I didn't say that I was giving her up. "

" You mean him! HE...is my boyfriend. "

" No...she isn't! "

" STOP!! Would you two just stop it. I won't have either one of you if you don't both agree to this. I will just live my life with out you both. I want you to get along and I want us all to be happy...together. I want you both to at least think about it." Mashiro got up and looked down. " I'm going back early. I'll see you both in class." With that said he walked away, leaving both Kureha and Sou with shocked expressions. They looked at each other then away. They both had a lot to think about.

Well? What do you think? I am just trying my luck with something other than Naruto. I've tried an Ouran High fic as well, but it was only for a challenge. It's not a real story just a one shot. Well, let me know what you think of it so far. If I get enough reviews I'll update this.

Good bye for now, but hopefully not forever!
