Chapter 14

"Rivals…"

Few days passed and the change had become a normal thing for everyone. The prince with blonde hair never left the silver haired princess. The mysterious knight, on the other hand, still seemed to not care of the feelings of the princess. This feeling irritates the prince. Rivalry has yet to come.

In the classroom…

"Shiki…" the normal hobby of Rima giving shiki his pocky has been sweet until now.

"Thanks…" he takes a bite and chews it tenderly. Their way of affection was just pretty sweet. Then Aidou began actions. Airi was eating her favorite melon bread when a crumb sticks on her cheeks.

"Let me help you…" Aidou licked it of her "it's sweet" he smiled. Airi remained silent blushing scarlet. Everyone began to look at them. Rima and Aidou began exchanging glances.

"Shiki…" Rima pulled his shirt as he was eating a long pocky. Suddenly Rima bit some of it, only few centimeters to a kiss. Everyone was shocked. Aidou hates defeat.

"Airi! ~!" he pouted as he hugged her from the back "feed me! ~!" a childish attitude, very nice plan.

"…." Airi never said anything and let him bite the other side of her bread, but, instead, he bit some from her part of the bread. An indirect kiss. Everyone was getting excited; it was a battle on being lovey dovey. For 15 minutes of battle, Airi and shiki was used as their weapons. Shiki didn't mind, he seemed to like, but, Airi, is at her limit. Then zero pop out of nowhere with takuma.

"If you want to be like that. Go somewhere private, I lost my appetite for breakfast just seeing both of you" he tossed in his chair a sandwich bag. Suddenly, airi's radar began to have something on.

"Zero…" she said in a shy manner "did you made that sandwich?"

"Uhhh…yeah…" he replied. Her eyes sparkled. Aidou didn't like it.

"Can I have it!?" she asked straightforwardly. Zero tossed the sandwich to her. Airi smiled with delight.

"Thank you for the-" she was about to take a bite when suddenly, Aidou took it.

"Hey!" she frowned "what are you doing?!"

"Poison testing" he tasted it. Then threw it away after a bite.

"Why did you!?" Airi was teary eyed *it was a one chance!!!* She taught. Then, Ichijo went forward.

"Here, tomomi…I mean Airi…you can have mine" Ichijo showed his sandwich.

"But how about you? You might get hungry?" she couldn't decline so casually.

"No its okay" he insisted. Airi sighed, took the sandwich, and took a bite, and smiled cheerfully.

"Its good Taku-san!" her words made him gives off a smile. Ichijo also smiled to it. Aidou didn't like this also. He covered ichijo's eyes and face.

"What…aid-" Ichijo can hardly breathe.

Aidou turned his head on Airi. Airi froze. He said "don't show that cute smile of yours to anyone but me!"

This made Airi smile even more. "Didn't I just told you?" Aidou pouted at her and everyone ended up laughing as Ichijo went to the infirmary.

"Thank you…" Ichijo took his leave, as he was about to take off, Kaname was waiting on the other side of his direction.

"How long will you take everything for granted?" Kaname asked.

"I don't know…everything keeps sticking up on my thoughts" he replied with a sigh.

"She seems fond of zero rather much than on Aidou"

"Yes…but…I can't compete at this game"

"Are you sure? You can't be like that in a chess game. You'll definitely lose"

"I know...that why I wave my white flag earlier than expected. They're just…"

"Yes?"

"They're better rivals. I have no chance…she just sees me as a sempai. It's impossible

"Well then…" Kaname pushed himself off the wall, and gave a pat on ichijo's shoulder "why not use the time together at the rose event?"

"Eh?"

"Well then good luck" Kaname went off. When he was a yard away, Yuuki came out of nowhere.

"Here's what you asked me to do" Yuuki showed him papers.

"Thank you..." he smiled.

"By the way…what is the rose event?"

"An event that is one chance in a million"

"I see" though still confused. Yuuki never spoke again.

The blonde prince has been overly protective. The silver knight, still with no care. And the blue eyed right hand of the king, still left with doubts. Who shall regain the princess' heart?
