Chapter Three: Somewhat of a Bit of Love

7:00 PM

Fuji and Eiji were walking home from school that day to go play tennis. They were chatting and laughing like usual. All of a sudden they see two people sprinting by. Tsuki and Aya.

"In a rush?" Fuji said as they passed him. Aya let out a quick "Yeah" and Tsuki came into a complete halt.

"Um…Yeah. I'm guessing you guys are going to play tennis?" Tsuki said. Aya started tapping her foot in annoyance.

"TSUKI!!!! LET'S GO!!!!" She finally screamed. Tsuki yelped and mumbled a quick apology for being rude. Eiji and Fuji stared in awe at how fast they could actually run.

"What was that about…" Eiji pondered.

"Who knows" Fuji said as they continued to walk to the tennis courts.

-Plop- -Plop- -Plop-

The greenish yellow tennis balls bounced on the gray courts where Eiji and Fuji were perfecting their already awesome skills. Hitting the ball back and forth over and over again. The bystanders watched in awe at there skills. Fuji was of course in the lead of their little practice match.

"Nya Fuji, I wonder why those two new girls ran out of class."

"Why do you ask, interested?" Fuji smiled.

"W-what!?" Eiji stumbled over his words and missed the ball Fuji previous hit.

"You were staring at her most of the time."

"No I wasn't!" Eiji snapped.

"Hai, hai. Whatever you stay." Fuji said, hitting the ball back.

"I mean it! I WASN'T STARING!!!" Eiji complained.

Fuji being the great genius he was saw a bright flash of blue light coming from the bushes. 'I wonder what that was?' he thought. He paid no attention to the rustling of the bushes and continued with his game.

-----------------------------------------------------------

The same time

"WHERE THE HELL IS REINA! WE SENT HER 20 MINUTES AGO!!" Aya yelled!

"How the hell should I know?!" Tsuki yelled back.

"We could have gotten this before it latched on to something. BUT NO YOU HAD TO STAY THERE AND TALK!!" Tsuki could find no come back to this so she just shut up. While this giant tree demon ran after them.

"Congelo!" A light blue beam came from Tsuki's palm and froze one of the tree's roots.

"HA! TAKE THAT" Tsuki yelled in pride. The tree swung a branch at her and released a set of razor leafs and vine whips!

"You get it! It's not really affected by water!" Tsuki claimed.

"And why would you think it would be affect by the SAME THING IT IS??!!! HUH!!!!" Aya was getting snappy. She sighed. They needed fire, which they didn't have and a level five was getting the better of them.

"Gramen Vesica!" Two broad swords materialized in Aya's hand.

"TAKE THIS!!!" She swung at the thing recklessly getting a few scrapes here and there.

"Glacies Ignis!" Tsuki yelled! The tree froze and started to combust. And it did, flinging ice chips everywhere. At the end Aya was the one most hurt for her recklessness and she didn't even get one hit at it, poor her. Aya's hat was shredded and she tied her greenish hair in a pony tail. Tsuki was snickering at Aya's state. Aya was mad and Reina and Madoka still was no where in sight.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Back with Eiji and Fuji

Fuji once again saw a flash a light and heard bickering and snickering. Through the bushes Fuji saw Aya and Tsuki looking at a black slimy slug type thing. 'Heh' Fuji lobbed the ball over and in to the bushes.
"Ah. Fuji you did that on purpose! How mean!"

"Eiji go get it."

"Fine!"

Eiji walked toward the bushes to where Fuji lobbed the ball. He sighed and climbed through the bush.

"Got it!" He picked up the ball of the ground and looked up to find Tsuki capturing the seed. He looked dumbfounded at the flash of light. He dropped the ball catching the attention of Aya who stared evilly. Tsuki who still didn't know Eiji was there saw the tennis ball and went to pick it up. Eiji on the other hand ignored the flash of light and went to get the tennis ball as well. They both reached for the ball and their hands touched slightly. Tsuki got startled and jumped back. When she looked up to whose hand she touched she got somewhat relieved. Aya on the other hand was confused. She had never met Eiji and didn't know who he was.

"What was that light back then?" Eiji asked. Aya and Tsuki just froze. 'Crap! He knows! Where going to die! Crap! Crap! Crap!!!!!' Aya screamed in her head.

"Um.. well you see it was my watch." Tsuki flustered

"And the cow went moo and the duck died" Aya said

"Yeah, and the duck died cause it ate a bug."

"And that's why the thing flashed." Aya continued.

"It was all an optical illusion!"

"You know what never mind. Forget it." Eiji finally said. Aya and Tsuki sighed in relief. Fuji was trying to hold in snickers from the other side of the bush where he was eavesdropping.

"Hey do you guy want to try to play tennis?" Eiji said changing the subject.

"SURE!!" Aya chimed in excitedly. Aya ran through the bush because she couldn't wait to try the sport she wanted to try. When Tsuki made her way through the bush her shirt got caught on the branch.

"What are your names?" Aya asked

"I'm Eiji." Eiji said

"I'm Fuji." Fuji said. Aya picked up the extra racket Fuji handed to her.

"Um…Fuji-san, hold do you hold the racket?" Aya asked Fuji.

"Like this." He showed her. Tsuki was still struggling to get out of the branched clutches.

"Here, let me help." Eiji untangled her shirt and Tsuki blushed. Fuji noticed this and smiled. "Psst. Aya do you want to help get those to together?" He whispered. 'If Tsuki finds that I'm trying to fix her up… she would kill me.'

"Um….sure, why not." Aya smirked she did love meddling with peoples affairs after all.

-----------------------------------------------------------

At the train station

Madoka sighed for the millionth time. She had received a message from Reina that she was going to pick her up. 'I can't wait anymore.' She got up and went to go down the crowded stairs. On her way down she got shoved and started to fall down the stairs. She waited for the impact of the hard ground. It didn't come. She opened her eyes to find herself in the arms of a blonde haired man with glasses. He was beside a mischievous looking guy who had small ponytail. Madoka blushed at the tall and handsome man who was holding her.

"Um… can you put me down please?" She meekly said.

"Oh, sorry." He hadn't realized that he had been holding her for quite awhile.

"Thanks for helping me." She said with a bow. The first thing he and his companion realized was that the girl was from Seigaku.

"May I have your name?" The gentleman said.

"Oh. Whoops how rude of me. My name's Madoka and yours?"

"My name is Yagyuu Hiroshi." He bowed.

"And I'm Niou Masaharu. Nice to meet you." Madoka just nodded.

"If I may ask, why is a Junior High girl at a train station alone when it's almost night?" Madoka fidgeted at this question.

"Um…Well you see I got lost, so my friend picking me up."

"Please allow me to accompany you until your friend gets here."

"Um…..sure I guess that's alright." Yagyuu looked at Niou.

"Since we're early I'll wait for the team myself." Niou said. Madoka and Yagyuu stood near a wall talking. Madoka felt like she connected to this person.

"So how old are you?" Madoka asked.

"I'm 15." Madoka just nodded at his response. Madoka was holding on to her school bag.

Silence fell upon them and they just stood there quietly talking once in a while.

"When your friend said 'team' he meant?"

"The tennis team. I'm part of it."

"So does that guy make him your doubles partner?"

"Yeah," It was once again quiet and Madoka started to fidget.

"So are you in any clubs?" Yagyuu asked.

"No, I moved here yesterday." She replied 'Why did I tell him that.' She wondered.

"Oh." The silent moments started to become more awkward and more unbearable.

"How is your time in Japan so far?" he asked

"Ok, I guess."

"Where are you from?"

"…." 'Where did Tsuki say we were from????? DAMN I CAN'T REMEMBER!'

"I'm from Australia!" She smiled. Yagyuu was surprised at her smile. He like her smile though, it made him smile too. She noticed his smile and blushed at the sight.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere else in the Station

Reina was running all over the place. She just couldn't find her. It was so crowded. 'Damn it! Where is she!?' She searched just about everywhere. 'THE STAIRS!' She rushed towards them. She peaked over the mad flash of yellow people to see Madoka standing against the wall. She leaped over a couple of stairs to save time. She bumped into a red head holding a ice cream cone, knocking the ice cream all over him.

"OMG! I'm soooooo sooooo sorry!!" Taking out her handkerchief and handing it to him. He took it gladly trying to wipe the pink stain on his shirt.

"HA HA Marui-sempai! You got creamed! Get it! HA CREAMED!" The guy laughed.

"Shut up Kirihara!" He looked back at his shirt "My ice cream." He whined.

"I am sooo sorry once again!!!!!" Reina pleaded.

"It's ok…I guess." Marui said. Reina bowed and ran off.

"Madoka there you are." Reina yelled from the stairs catching Madoka's attention. She turned and waved back. Madoka bided Yagyuu goodbye. Reina wondered who she was talking to.

"Reina!" Madoka ran and hugged her.

"Let's go." Madoka nodded and they walked into the train. When the doors closed, Reina saw that Madoka's bag was open.

"!!!"

"You must have dropped it. You can always get a new notebook." Reina shrugged.

"You don't understand!! It had all of our recording of our travels in there and Tsuki's pictures of the four magic castles and parts of the other realm."

"WHAT!!???!?!??"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Back at the tennis courts

"GAH!" Aya missed the ball and landed on her bottom. Fuji laughed.

"Hey! Don't laugh at me!" She looked over at Tsuki and was at least happy that she could at least hit the ball once in awhile. Tsuki and Aya were laughing of how stupid they must look in front of them.

"Tsuki your hair, is it dyed at the ends?" Fuji asked

"Huh? No it has always been like that." She replied.

"Interesting."

"So how do you two know each other?" Eiji asked.

"Family friends." Aya said.

"Do you and your friends want to go our tennis practice tomorrow?"

"SURE!!" Aya excitedly said.

"GUYS!!" Reina shouted getting Tsuki's attention.

"Let's go!" Madoka added.

"Bye-Bye, see you tomorrow." Tsuki said.

"Wow it's so late!!" Reina whined.

"What time is it?" Madoka asked

"It's 8:00" Aya said flatly.

"I'm so tired." Tsuki added. They walked up the stairs to their apartment. A little ball of glittering light appeared. A small pink fairy was swirling around them.

"Yo!" the fairy said.

"Bubbles!" Tsuki shouted with glee!

"What are you doing here?" Aya questioned knowing Bubbles only comes to scold them.

"I saw what happened at the tennis courts." Bubbles replied

"What happened?" Madoka and Reina asked.

"THEY ALMOST GOT DISCOVERED THAT'S WHAT!!!"

"Bubbles, it wasn't our fault." Aya quickly added.

"You must stay away from them, I bet there suspicious."

"How do we do that? We're in their class." Tsuki said.

"Just ignore them." Bubbles said coldly. "I'll be back tomorrow to make sure you don't slip when you go to that tennis thing."

"Fine." They all chimed.

"Good." And with that said she pooffed away.

When they entered the apartment they sighed and sat on the unfurnished floor. It was dark and they all felt lazy not wanting to do anything. After a while everyone took turns in the small cramped bathroom and got changed into their PJ's. Tsuki was wearing a white cotton night gown. Aya was wearing a pair of long-thin cotton shorts and a baggy t-shirt. Madoka was wearing blue flannel ones with snowflakes on them with 3 quarter length sleeves. Reina was wearing blue ones with multicolored color blobs on them and says 'Sweet' all over it. Suddenly all their stomachs growled.

"You go get the food." They all pointed at Aya, except Aya who was pointing at Reina.

"Why me??!" She whined.

"Because, I went to get Madoka, Madoka got lost, and Tsuki didn't go suicidal at the tree demon." Reina pointed to all the cuts and scrapes Aya had bandaged up already.

"Fine!" She bursted through the door and left angrily.

"Why me?! This is so not fair." She mumbled to herself. She placed her hat over her head and headed out the apartment door. Light was minimal in the crowded streets. 'I sure don't want to get lost in the dark.' She thought as she took a deep breath and started walking to the store. She observed just how many couples were out and making out on the streets. 'THAT'S DISGUSTING!!' she shouted in her mind. 'What's with all the couples!' She sighed, she hated romance no matter what, and it annoyed her. She walked past girls and boys holding hands, laughing, which made her somewhat lonely. She turned the street and bumped into somebody making her stumble backwards. She was about to apologize at the person, until she looked up. 'Oh shit! It's Mr. Straight face. Crap.'

"Sorry. Please Excuse me." Aya tried to use manners but it ended up sounding evil and insincere. Tezuka recognized the voice and frowned.

"You should watch where you're going." He grimly replied.

"Maybe if you were watching where you were going I wouldn't have bumped into you." She said meanly.

"What! Maybe if…" He got cut off by Aya's loud growling stomach. Aya's face turned red and she hung her head in embarrassment.

"I gotta go." She quickly said. She walked past him without making eye contact. 'That was so embarrassing!...Wait where am I going?' she spun around and said,

"Wait!" making him halt in his place.

"Do you know of any fast food places around here? And .um…. if you do…." She started stuttering 'this is going to be so embarrassing.' He raised an eyebrow. "If you do, can you show me where it is?" She quickly added.

"Sure."

The two walked side by side quietly not saying a word. When they reached the doors to the fast food restaurant, Aya finally realized that she was still in her PJ's. 'CRAP!' She thought "I must look sooo stupid! Maybe he didn't notice….What am I saying?! Of course he noticed." She mumbled to herself. "Wait. Where's my wallet….." She looked at her shorts, no pockets. "Shit!" She said loudly. "Nooooo, if I go back without food, they'll be like 'oh, that's soooo you' or like 'What you didn't bring back food?' I don't want to be scolded" she mumbled. Tezuka of course heard all of her silent rambling.

"I can pay for it." Aya was surprised at this.

"Thanks." She said quietly. "I'll pay you back."

"No need."

The two walked in to Mc. Friendly's and up to the counter.

"I'll have two #5, a #11, and one #2 please." Aya happily said.- r

"That'll be 12.87." The lady said. Tezuka paid. They s

"Thanks again Mr."

"…. My names Tezuka by the way,"

"Heh. My bad. Sorry Tezuka." She smiled.

"Aya-san what happened?" He pointed to the bandages.

"Oh this? I fell down a hill and crashed into a tree." Aya laughed.

"…."

"It happens all the time. I'm such a klutz." Tezuka stayed quiet.

"Do you ever talk besides when you're in school?"

"Yes I do."

"I was kidding." She said flatly.

"Here's your order ma'am."

"Thanks" Aya said, they headed through the door. "ACHOO!" Tezuka turned to Aya, who was shivering.

"Here." Tezuka handed Aya his jacket.

"Thanks" She hesitantly took it and put it on smiling softly. "I should get going. See you tomorrow. I'll return this tomorrow."

"Ok. Bye." Aya started walking first and walked back to the apartment.

"I'm back." Aya chimed when she entered the door. They all stared at her.

"Who's jacket is that?" they chorused.

"Um…a classmate that I bumped into."

"That's a guy's jacket!" Tsuki shouted!

"So what?! Here's the food" She hastily placed it on the counter and shuffled to her room.

"What the!?!"

"Anyways Eiji-kun and Fuji-san invited us to there practice tomorrow so remember after school. So meet at the tennis courts." Aya shouted from inside the door.

"O.K" They shouted.

"I can't wait to go back to Adoraia!" Reina said.

"I don't! I like it here!" Tsuki said.

"I thought you wanted to go back so you could use magic?" Madoka asked

"I did."

"I want to go back to Phaarin. I didn't even get to visit my parents yet." Aya whined.

"Come back out here and eat with us!" Tsuki shouted. Aya slowly crept out the door to enjoy her Big Mac. After their silent meal they stayed up talking about all the things they've done before they met in magic school. Aya ended falling asleep crooked on the floor.

"Should we wake her up?" Madoka asked.

"Nah, she'll be fine on her own. She always falls asleep like that, she can fall asleep anywhere." The three other girls left to go to sleep. A silhouette came over the main window.

"Heh! So this is where you girls are hiding. I'll make you regret opening my box that I left in the field. I'll make sure you pay for it. Hehehehe." It whispered before it disappeared.

Whoo! Done! This I think is the longest chapter I've written! I hoped you liked it. Please Review!
