Yuka's P.O.V

I didn't see him again after that. He had gone the next day to challenge Shake, and when I walked into the school the next day, I saw several things. Shiiba and Marumo were fighting, and Marumo was winning. That wasn't shocking. But what was was the fact that he was fighting Shiiba, who he considered his friend. I moved past them and up the stairs. I saw Rina. She was standing there watching Shiro and Shake.

"I have to say that he is not giving up. But im glad that Shake is going to win. " she said as she looked at me. I looked at her as she turned and walked off up the stairs towards the roof. She was right, Shiro wasn't strong enough and i'm sure he knew that. I turned to see him get kicked into glass display case. I rushed forward just as Shake came walking over to watch him. When Shiro fell back down and his eyes closed, Shake turned and began to walk off.

"Shake! Thank you for not doing more than this." I told him and he turned slightly,

"He is stronger than he looks Viper. I didn't hold back. He will make a good top. Even if he won't be #1." he said and I smirked at him as he smiled at me. As he walked off, I looked down to see Shiro. I sat down on the ground and pushed him onto his back. His head landed in my lap. And I smiled down at him as he opened his eyes.

"I lost." he said and I smiled as I put my hand on his head.

"You lost." I confirmed and he sighed, I chuckled at him,

"But losing doesn't mean its over. The fact that you even came and challenged him, made him see you as someone stronger. Your not letting your fear run you." I said as I pushed him up,

"Now. Isn't there somewhere you should be right now?" I asked as I pointed up towards the roof. He smiled,

"But I thought you wanted revenge on Shake?" he asked as he slowly stood up. I helped him up the stairs, and to the roof,

"Revenge isn't what I want anymore Shiro. But you want to be Top, and so you should go and take it. " I said as I pushed him towards the door to the roof. I ignored Rina who was standing there with her other friends. After he had walked out, I turned towards Rina. I held out my hand.

"Truce? I don't want revenge anymore." I told her and she smiled at me. She took my hand.

the next day was boring. The fact that there was no fighting, since Shiiba, Marumo, Shiro and Urabe were on the roof again was making people nervous. I wasn't though. I knew that eventually Shiiba would win, and I would be allowed back up on the roof again. Only this time as part of the group on top. Shake was leaving today and I knew that he wanted to find someone worthy of being top.

"So Shake is going to let Shiiba have the top. He says he just wants to move on without having to worry about it." Rina said as she sat down next to me and looked at the grounds.

Around the same time, Hana was having her own troubles, and sense me and her were the same age we wouldn't be able to help each other. Not that she wanted my help. She didn't seem to want my help. Of course she didn't want anyone's help. But I was sure she would learn to take help when she needs it.

"So why don't you go and keep an eye on her. We still have about 6 months left. And maybe ill go with you. Since we don't have to fight our way to the top anymore, maybe we can help her." Shiro told me as he sat down on the couch next to me. I was sitting on the couch next to Shiro. Shiiba, Urabe and Marumo were looking at us.

"I have nothing better to do." Shiiba said looking over at Marumo who nodded his head. Urabe shrugged. Shiro chuckled at me,

"Shiro, she won't want my help. But maybe I can help my cousin keep an eye on her." I said as I stood up and started for the door to the roof.

"Im going to see my cousins." I said as I walked away,

"Wait. Ill go with you." Shiro said as he stood up and followed me.
