-Beep Beep-

Lala woke up and turned off her alarm "Today is the day!" I say as I went to eat some leftover burgers. Once she was done there was a knock on the door, "Yes? Oh Harry and Tougou, what are you guys doing here?" "Walk to school together." Harry stated "And also to win the battle! We will win!" Tougou said while lifting his fist in the air. "Yes!" Lala said as they all walked to school.

-Skip to athletic meet-

"Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to impress you with this. Don't get hurt because of thoughtless behavior like of 2-C, oops, I mean like a certain class." Some 2-C students were questioning what he said. "Next I present Ms. Tae Anegaski. She is the new school nurse, so if anyone gets hurt, be sure to check with her." Tae waved her hand with a cheerful aura around her "Everybody! I will be waiting!" And of course all the guys were excited and ready to get hurt.

For the first event it was against 2-C and 2-D. "Oh boy, 2-C and 2-D… violent dead heat from the beginning!" Said the speaker. Harry dodged the balls gracefully and Tougou appeared next to him. "Harry, you're are pretty good!" "If they don't hit you it's no big deal." The cheerleader of 2-C started cheering them on and got everyone's attention. "Wow, the hottest girls are on the top!" "I wanna join 2-C!" The boys said in the background.

Then it went to the 2-D girls, and well Lala wasn't enjoying herself or so it seems. "She doesn't seem to be enjoying herself…" "And she looks mad…" Commented some boys. "Japanese girls are supposed to cheer, so Tougou forced her." Lala looked at her pompoms "If you don't want to do it, you don't have too." Harry stated. "Really?!" Lala said as she got rid of them.

During the break Lala went behind the school with the pompoms and started dancing. 'I like these!' she thought. Harry popped out of nowhere "So you actually like them huh?" Lala blushed and denied it "I gotta go!" She says as she runs away "Heh…" Harry chuckled.

"We are getting close to the climax! Next up is the Calvary Battle! Three boys and one girl make one horse team."

Harry and Lala formed a team together. "Ichijou..." she said as they faced each other on their 'horses'. Everyone wanted to win, however only one class could one, and one team could get the credit. "Ready…" The speaker said about to shoot his gun and Karasuma came and blew into a shell and everyone went charging at each other.

"Oh it's a furious battle from the start! A grand melee!" Suddenly the players headbands started to disappear. "Whoa who is that? They were extremely fast! Oh, it's the team of greatest interest of this meet! Harry and Lala had made their move! Fight! Fight! They are overwhelming! Is this unlimited speed?! Watch for the opportunity!" Mikoto looked at them "What should we do? Should we go after them?" "Leave them alone! We have to wait until the numbers are smaller. The others will get in our way!" Asou said. "Alright." "Wow! Ah! Ichijou has collected her seventh headband already!" The speaker said.

As many teams fell down an unexpected arrival came onto the scene. "What happened here?" Mikoto asked and saw Akira on the ground "Save yourself…" Akira said "Hmph, that's the end of them." Harry said "That's the way it is." Tougou said "Behind you…" Akira said Mikoto turned around "Its class D's Tennoji!" The speaker screamed. Classes started charging at Tennoji but failed.

"With the appearance of Tennoji, every class is being annihilated!" The speaker screamed. Lala watched as Sawachika and Harima challenged Tennoji, and well they defeated him, but Lala wondered if Sawachika injured herself since her slammed the ground basically. In the end Sawachika took the credit, "Thank you, but Harima-kun and the others worked hard too!" Mikoto said.

"Ooh, at another place, rider Suou is in a pinch! She's surrounded by two of the Class D's aces! She completely open at her back!" The speaker said as Harry charged "Crap!" Before Harry could hit from behind Imadori's face got in the way. "Banana boy!" Harry shouted "G-Go… Miko-chin!" "Imadori!" She said as she watches him fall 'It's… enough for me to be in your heart like this… A man who fought for you… and fell." "Don't act on your own!" Mai said as they fell.

"Now!" Tougou says as he charged "Its one – on – one I will not lose!" Mikoto said as she grabbed the girl's headband. 'Thank you… Imadori' Mikoto thought. However she said that a little too soon as Imadori rolls towards her. "Hey! You're in the way!" They stopped but maybe that was a bad idea, because Lala took her headband.

Now it was the time for Ichijou and Lala to fight. "I was waiting for you Ichijou!" She says and she threw punches at her. But Ichijou dodged all of them, then both teams went back to take a breather and Lala said go back and Lala was getting ready to kick her, but Hanai threw Ichijou in the air so she would land back on him. "What's that? It didn't work?" Lala asked. Harry explained to her what happened. The teams faced each other and Harry decided to kick Hanai in the stomach. "What?" His kick wasn't getting to him and all of the sudden Hanai got a hard 6 pack!

"That won't work!" Hanai shouted. "What… What is with this guy?" They charged back at them. "I came to this country… To fight!" Lala tried to hit Ichijou, but I was too late because Ichijou took Lala off her 'horse' and slammed her on the ground. Crushing Lala's pride and dignity at that moment. Ichijou turned around "Ah, sorry!" 'So she reacts unconsciously when against a stronger opponent… interesting' Harry thought.

"The one who has won this battle is Class C!" The speaker said excitedly. Harry went up to Lala and held his hand out to her. "I don't need your help!" Lala shouted at him. Harry stared at her and pulled her up anyway "What kind of friend would I be if I didn't help you up?" Harry asked. Lala had a slight blush but walked away angrily. Harry walked over to Tougou "Well put it behind you." Tougou suggested "I can't do that!" Harry yelled at him "It all started as a recreation but I made up my mind. I'm going to beat them!" Harry yelled and thought of Lala and his pride.

-A couple minutes later-

"The boys relay! In the second year separation, Class D is on the top! And Class C is on the bottom. I wonder who will win this one, oh I can't wait!" Says the speaker. "For us to win, we have to take first place…" Makoto explained. "It will be alright, we will win!" Tenma encouraged. "How about a penalty game if we lose?" Asked Akira.

"The heroic fighters are now entering the field!" The speaker shouted. Lala looked at the Class C students and saw Imadori, then she glanced at Ichijou. 'Looks worried…' Lala thought. "Imadori." Mikoto called out "Oh Miko-chin!" He hurried to her "What's the matter?" "You better make up for what happened in the Calvary Battle!"

"I know that, I will I promise Miko-chin." "Ah…" "Hm?" "Thank you for protecting me from Harry's kick…" –Pervert meter going up- "Really?! You'll give me a kiss if we win?! Miko-chan!" He said hugging around her chest area. "Did I say that? You idiot!" She said elbowing him in the head.

"Asou-senpai!" "Huh?" "I'm rooting for you! Good luck!" shouted Sara. Asou blushed "That so sneaky of you! When did you become so close?" "It's not like that!" Hanai happened to be in front of them and thought Yakumo was watching him. "Harima! Do your best! Go shadow warrior!" Tenma shouted 'Tenma is watching…' 'Yakumo is…' 'Tenma is…" Then they went into super relaxed mode. "Huh, what is?" "Hey look at the faces of those two!" "They don't look ready for this!"

"Oh? What is going on with Class C? For some reason the morale of the troops have been disturbed?!" The speaker commented. "Look at how fragile they are." Harry stated "Women are specters. They are fools after all. I had thought they were good opponents. But it seems I overestimated them" Tougou joined.

Suddenly Class C stopped "Huh?" They said in unison. "Remember! This relay is different from other ones! I'm giving you a plan of victory so listen up!" Hanai shouted "In a relay, the handling of batons is everything. The timing of the hand-off must be reckoned." Imadori advised "I was just going to say that!" Hanai shouted. "You're pretty knowledge about that aren't you Imadori?" Asou asked.

"The relay will redeemed us from our lost." "I was going to say that too." Hanai said crying. "Well, I can be serious about some things too." Imadori said with a lot of confidence. "We will be heroes is we win!" "Harima, we are counting on you to be the anchor." "Huh? Who do you think you are talking to stupid? Easily… Easily…"

"On your mark… Ready… Go!" "They are starting at once!" The speaker said. 'They're fast… What I would expect from Class D. Even this unknown runner is above level!' "Class D is on the top!" "Crap!" He said as he passed it to Asou. "So fast! Asou is running vehemently! He overtook the top runner in seconds." Commented the speaker.

"Imadori!" shouted Asou. "Leave it to me" He says as he goes to a crouching position. "What is this idiot doing?" "What?! Imadori is in a crouching start!" "I was stupid to have believed in him!" said Asou. "Here!" "What are you talking about, you idiot?"

"Okay!" "Oh! He suddenly began tumbling! A grand Tumbling display! And now he started to run, is this some new plan?!" "Did you see that? I started tumbling to build speed! It's called special rolling!" He said talking to himself. "He's been overtaken! A great miscalculation!" "Huh? How?!" Imadori shouted "With this lead we win… With me and Harry, it's a shoo-in." Tougou stated.

"Tougou, don't underestimate us…" said Hanai. "Oh? Us? You are putting a lot of faith in Harima… Don't make me wait, I'm not so patient." Tougou said and ran off. "Hmph." "Imadori's finally arrived!" "I will exert myself as much as I can!" Hanai said to Imadori "Special rolling…" "Don't do that!"

Hanai grabbed the stick and started yelling really loud and having his game face on. "Hanai's yell is tremendous! He's taken on the look of the demon! The wind god has swooped down upon us!" 'It can't be! Hanai's… He's closing the gap! He's putting pressure on me? No! My concentration!' Tougou thought "It's alright! We're still leading! I'm up next! We can win." Harry stated.

"Then why don't you go?" Harima suggested "What?" "Don't you know? A win from behind is most impressive." "Come after me, Japanese samurai!" Harry said and ran. Leaving Harima to think about his bald head. Harima had no time to plan out how he was not going to show his head because Hanai passed him the stick.

Everyone was shocked that Harima was actually trying to win, well however, he did win in the end and also showing his baldness to the whole world, but I guess at that time no one seemed to care.

-After the "Battle"-

All the classes had a bonfire/dance party, and well let's just see what happens.

Lala was calmly dancing with this individual who she didn't care to see the face of and it was peaceful until… "Hi." Imadori Lala turned her head to see that boy, so she put him in a head lock and beat him to the pulp. "Don't even think about doing that again!" Lala shouted and walk away "D-cup…" was Imadori's last words.

"Lala are you going home?" Harry asked walking to her side "Yeah…" "Hm, I see, I will walk you home then." "Why?" "So, you won't get kidnapped." Lala stopped "Are you serious? I will beat whoever that person is!" Harry smiled "Alright Lala, I'm just looking out for a friend." "Friend?" Lala said unsure "Yeah, I consider you my friend after everything we done so far." Harry said looking at her "Oh… Okay then. But just don't give me any trouble!"

Harry laughed "Of course, of course." "Hmph." She said as she walked ahead of him "Slow down a little…" "I'm here, you can go now." Lala said as she went in and closed the door. Harry stared for a while and walked to his house "Well, might as well go find Tougou."

When Lala closed the door the word friend echoed through her mind "I never really had a friend until now. I have an unknown feeling of something unusual." Lala thought about as she took a shower and went to bed.

Hey guys! I hope you all liked this chapter and will look forward to the future ones. About the end, I feel like Lala never had a real friend before, until she got to know Ichijou some more, so Harry telling her that will make her feel a little confused. But anyhow, see you all in the next one and will Imadori finally get some sense to stop messing with Lala?
