Disclaimer: I do not own K-On! and I never will

The entire way back home I couldn't stop thinking about Ritsu hugging me. It was so sudden and un-expected that I was at a loss for words "You've been pretty quiet Zen. Can't get Ritsu's hug of your mind?" Sean asked me with his cocky smile.

I oh so wanted to scream out in joy because I finally gained enough of her respect for her to accept me as a friend but something kept holding me back and I just stayed silent until we got home "Holly can I speak to you for a moment?"

"Sure Zen." I motioned for her to follow me and I took us both to the upstairs hallway

"Normally I wouldn't say something like this to you since I'd know you might get offended or something but today, Ritsu, Sean, and I all walked home together since Ritsu's house was on the way to ours." I took a deep breath and continued "Sean slowed down and let me and Ritsu get in front, so we talked for a bit until she got to her house and I asked "So were friends now?" and she screamed out no. But once she was halfway to her house and quickly turned around and hugged me."

"Wait, Ritsu did that?"

"Yes."

"And why are you telling me this?"

"I don't know, I just figured since you were a girl you'd probably know why she would do that."

Holly put her hand on my shoulder "Zen if I tried to explain a girl's mind to you it would just confuse you to no end and we'd have a vegetable on our hands. That and every girl's mind is different so what I think, Ritsu might think about the same thing completely different."

"Well thanks for clearing that up."

Zen-kun?

Yes my sweet angel?

Why do you love me?

Because you are the most beautiful girl ever to walk this earth and not even Aphrodite can match your beauty.

Ritsu woke up from a nap she had taken and was in a bit of a cold sweat because of that dream *What is going though me head? Why do I keep thinking about Zen this way? And to think this all started three days ago when I had a long dream about him in Sawa-chan's class.*

She looked at her phone and went into her contacts. She highlighted Zen's name but quickly put the phone back where it was.

The next day Sawako came into the classroom with another new student but he was actually from Japan "Class, this is Ithago Kyoko."

All of the girls gasped in surprise after they heard his name *What is he some kind of celebrity? Sure doesn't seem like it.*

Kyoko sat behind me and I turned around to greet him "Hello there Kyoko-san."

"Piss off peasant."

*Piss of peasant? Well looks like we've got a high-class celebrity on my hands.* "Ben cazzo anche voi buddy."(Well fuck you too buddy in Italian)

Kyoko stared at me knowing that I probably said something bad to him but because it was in Italian he couldn't understand me.

*Just wish I could insult more but that's the only insult other than Japanese and American insults, that I know.*

Throughout the rest of Sawa-chan's lesson I swear I could feel Kyoko's eyes burning straight into my soul and from that point on I knew I had a rival. *Man it feels good to be an enemy to someone.*

Before I could go to the light music club I had to drop something off at the guidance office for Sawa-chan and on the way there I saw Ritsu and Kyoko standing by the guidance office and talking like they were old friends *Don't think anything of it Zen. I'm sure it's just because she wants his autograph or something.* "Hi Ritsu-chan." I said waving to her

"Yeah hi Zen. So anyway."

*Yeah hi Zen? I could of swore we became friends just two days ago.* I sighed silently *She probably to wrapped up in meeting that ass that she didn't want to talk to me.*

"Here ya go Moka-san." I gave the girl at the counter miss Sawako asked me to and walked out and to the light music club.

Ten minutes after I came in and began my regular chit-chat with the girls and Sean, Ritsu came in with Kyoko and she was laughing like no other "Hey guys, Kyoko has asked me to join our band as our rhythm guitarist."

"Rhythm guitarist? Why in world would we need another rhythm guitarist when that's Azusa's job?"

Ritsu was about to give me a dirty look by Kyoko stopped her and walked over to me "Look I think you and I got off on the wrong foot." he stuck his hand out "So how about we start anew? And become friends?"

With a bit of hesitation I took his hand and shook it but he tightened his grip and brought his face close to my ear "But Ritsu is mine and if I ever catch you near her I will fuck you up."

I smiled all cocky like and said "Well considering that I'm in the club as well I gotta be near her. Which leaves your earlier statement invalid."

Kyoko let go of my hand and I knew I had won this battle but I knew that there were going to be many to come.

Ah love triangles how they are always so fun to write.

Anyway expect some more MugixSean in the next chapter.
