Okay, here's chapter two! I really like this story, so I'm going to try to update this a lot… but I have another one I'm working on too… Whatever gets the most reviews is the one I'll work on, so if you like this, review!
Disclaimer: I do not own S.A. Unfortunately. I'd be the happiest person on earth if I did.
Chapter Two: 'B' is for…
Yahiro picked up Megumi's next letter. It had been a week now, and he had been trying to think of what 'B' could stand for.
Hello Yahiro. If it went as planned, you had to wait a while for this one. Did you wonder what 'B' stood for?
Well, it doesn't matter if you did. The long wait is over for you. But first, think about 'A'. Reread it if you have to. I don't want you to forget where both we and these letters started.
Yahiro didn't need to reread it. He'd read it every chance he had in the last week, for any clues to her whereabouts and to 'B'. Now, he was going to find out.

'B'… stands for boys. Not what you expected, was it? Boys.
It seems like I was always being surrounded by boys, or boyish people. I lived with Ryuu and Jun, was in S.A. with Tadashi and Kei, and both Akira and Hikari acted like boys most of the time. Then there was you. But the others aren't the ones that matter now; you are.
There were times you seemed like you actually cared for me. Like when the boys from school came to me with love letters, you'd chase them away. Or when my parents wanted to set up a marriage, you used your family's influence to stop it. Yahiro, you acted like you were jealous, like you wanted me for yourself.
Were you?
Anyways, back on subject. Boys have always had a huge influence on my life, but I was always shy around the ones I didn't know. It was easy for any boy to get me to do what he wanted. The only way I had to fight back was to scream, and I had to protect my voice.
It hasn't changed that much I guess. I'm still surrounded by boys and tomboys, just not to the S.A.'s extremes. Boys tend to flock to me; it's a little uncomfortable.
They kind of remind me of everyone else though. In the smallest ways, having boys around reminds me of home. Its almost natural now. The boys I've met, the S.A. boys, and you Yahiro… all of you made me a different person.
Boys created who I am, and who I will be.

Twenty-four more letters Yahiro. How long until you get the next one?
-Megumi
Yahiro stared at this letter just as he had the last one. Boys. He wouldn't have ever expected that, or the bluntness of the letter. She was playing some sort of game with him, that was the only thing he could think.
Were you? The question circled around in his mind. "No!" he muttered angrily. "I was not jealous!" He plopped down onto his bed, ignoring the pile of paperwork he needed to do for work.
Boys. Even now, she was surrounded by boys, without someone to protect her. Yahiro frowned. Of course, he wasn't thinking of being her protector. Like she'd said before, Akira was the only one he wanted to help, not her.
"That idiot girl," he growled, sitting up. He wasn't going to be able to sleep tonight, but he'd never be able to focus on work.
He was too busy thinking of what 'C' could be.
And there's chapter two! Are you wondering what 'C' will be? Okay… here it is… NOT! You'll just have to read to find out! Review please!
