6/23/13: Edited three chapter in one day thats a new record for me haha. Anyways enjoy.

Sarah was sitting across from Akira in a room of the old school building. Akira lifted her tea cup to take a drink. "Akira me and Yakumo are in love with Harima." Sarah yelled out.

Akira spit out her tea, some of it came out of her nose "Come again?" she asked wiping her nose.

"Me and Yakumo are in love with Harima." Sarah said more calmly. Akira stared at Sarah for a while and this was making Sarah nervous. "Well say something!" Sarah says.

Akira poured herself another glass of tea "Harima huh? I could never see someone like you falling for someone like him." She said taking a drink.

"Give me a dollar every time I heard that…" Sarah said under her breath. This whole mess was starting to wear on Sarah. She had wanted to tell Harima for a couple months now. With her best friend now in love with the same guy, Sarah hoped Akira had some kind of way to solve it.

Akira smiled "you want me to solve this problem for you guy's right?" she says closing her eyes.

"Well I don't know how to deal with it! I don't want to her hurt yakumo." Sara says finally taking a drink of her tea. To her displeasure it was cold.

Akira thinks for a while "Well…Have you tried finding a new guy?" she says.

"That isn't going to work! I was hoping there was some other solution!" Sara yelled.

Akira raised her right eye brow "Are you sure you want me to do this? Because there something I've wanted to try for a long time." She said.

Sara thought for a moment "Yes…" she said under her breath.

Akira put down her tea cup "Ok…Be at the Library tomorrow and I'll have something for you to sign." She said.

"I have to sign something?" Sarah said raising her eye brow.

Akira stood up "I have to get to work…remember tomorrow at the library…be there. I'll take care of Yakumo and Harima." She said walking out the room.

Sarah sat in silent for a minute then it hit her "Oh god! What the hell did I get myself into!" she yells.

Elsewhere

"Yakumo why did you turn down Harima!" Tenma asked as they walked home from school. This caught Yakumo way off guard, but she must have talked with Harima. "Don't you think he's handsome? I mean I think he's a handsome guy! Why wouldn't you go out with him? It's ok with your big sister!" Tenma said.

It was very hard for Yakumo to lie to Tenma. But she knew Tenma was only trying to make her happy. "It's not that I don't like him…it's just someone else liked him before me." Yakumo says.

"Sooooo…that's when you fight for him! Love is a brutal battlefield! Who is this girl! Give me five minutes alone with her!" Tenma said pounding her fist into her other hand.

Yakumo couldn't help but laugh a bit at Tenma. Her views on love were that of a 5 year old. But Yakumo remembered reading somewhere that childhood love was the purist form of love. Not the smartest love but it was love.

"I'm ok Tenma…Harima is close to this person…she just hast to tell him." Yakumo said. Tenma wasn't happy about it but she would somehow fix this. She ran though the people she though liked Harima and only one person came to mind…Eri.

The next day

Sarah was waiting in the library for Akira. She looked around the corner to see Harima with Eri at a table. "What the heck?" she said walking towards the table.

"Congrats Harima you beat your record of 7 correct answers to 8!" Eri said sarcastically.

Harima scratch his head "There's no way I'm going to pass this test!" Harima cried.

"Hey Harima…"Sarah said walking up to the table.

"Hey Sara it's good to see you…" Harima said rolling his head over to look at her.

"Sorry Sarah but whiskers needs to focus on this." Eri said.

Sarah wanted to slap Eri so bad but held it back. "Oh sorry…talk to you later Harima." She said grinding her teeth.

Sarah walked away to find Akira sitting at the table with a stack of papers. "Sarah have a seat." Akira said. Sara took a seat. "This can go really fast or it could take hours your choice." Akira said siding the stack over to her.

"I never sign anything without reading it." Sara said taking the first page. Her mouth dropped at the number of words on the page. The words were almost too small to read, Sarah glared at Akira "Your evil you know that." She said taking a pen and signing the bottom.

Akira opened the stack of paper to the middle "sign here and here." She said. Sarah signed several more papers "Thank you for your time Sarah…I will contact you soon." Akira said taking five pages out of the stack. Sarah then realized that most of the stack had nothing on the pages. It was just a stack of printer paper! Sarah banged her head on the table knowing she might as well sign her life away.

Akira's next target was Yakumo, but she wasn't going to Yakumo herself but to her guardian Tenma.

"Tenma can I ask you something?" Akira asks standing next to her.

"Yeah what's up Akira?" Tenma said turning her focus to Akira.

"I'm doing a little…project…and it involves dating and relationships…do you know anyone who's has a problem in either subject?" Akira asks.

Tenma put her finger under her lip and though for a moment. Then her pigtails sprang up "Yeah! My little sister Yakumo! She in love with Harima but someone else also loves him. Yakumo has given up but I'm working on a plan to get them together!" Tenma said with fire in her eyes.

"Well then I think you could be a really big help in my project Tenma." Akira smiled and explained the whole project to Tenma. As she told Tenma about her plan Tenma's eyes lit up. "So are you in?" Akira asked.

"Hell yeah! I can sign for Yakumo now! She's going to love this!" Tenma said signing the papers without a second thought.

The last target was Mr. Kenji Harima and Akira had something special planned for him. Since Tenma was a part of the project Akira got her to deliver the papers to Harima. Harima still felt very nervous another Tenma. So how could he say no to her, plus Tenma kept telling him it was for research. After he signed the papers Akira could now put her master plan into action. Plus this was a part of her bucket list so she was going to enjoy every bit of it.

But At the last second someone else came to Akira and wanted to be a part of this project. She wasn't surprise who it was and this would throw some drama into the project.

"Are you sure you want to do this Eri?" Akira asked giving her the last paper to sign.

"I don't see why it should just be those two. I should at least have a chance." She said signing the last paper.

Akira had a sly grin "If you say so…I'll be contacting you soon…if you don't find out before." She says taking the papers.

The Next day

For the first time in a long time Sarah got to spend time with Harima before school starts. They were on the roof talking about what's been going on in their lives. Sarah had agreed to accept the outcome of whatever Akira had planned.

Yakumo wasn't too happy about it when Tenma told her. But she agreed to give whatever Akira had planned a shot. It would settle things between the two best friends. Plus Tenma was kind of forcing her to do this.

Sarah and Harima walk down back into the hall to see a group of students around a post on the wall. Yakumo saw the two and join them "What's going on?" Yakumo asked. "Let's go find out." Harima say walking forward. Sarah had a feeling that it had to do with the paper she signed and her stomach turns. Yakumo has the same feeling and they both turn to each other to see if they felt the same. No words were need so they both continued behind Harima.

At first they couldn't make it out because of the crowd. But after a while they got a clear view of the poster:

The Battle of Hearts

Only one will get what she wants.

You will chose their fate!

DEC. 7 at 7pm.

Fee: 5 dollars

The poster had black figures of the man and three women. With the words in big print and at the bottom it was signed by Akira and Tenma.

Harima knew that Yakumo was one of the girls. According to Tenma this was another way to prove they belong together. He didn't know who the other two girls were.

Sarah and Yakumo looked at each other "Please don't hold back Yakumo." Sarah said.

"Just promise me we will accept whatever happened." Yakumo said. They both nodded and then turned their attention to the third girl. Akira said it was between her and Yakumo, who can it be? Sarah wondered.

This was all going to be decided on a game show Akira and Tenma came up with. It seemed a bit too public but it's not like they could bail out of this. Plus the stage was set to settle this once and for all. Yakumo was going to see this through and put her feelings aside. For once she was going to seek her own happiness. But if she lost then it was never met to be.

The details of the "Battle Of Hearts" were unclear, it must be a teaser to get people excited Sarah thought.

After school Sarah and Yakumo faced each other "just promise me will still be best friends no matter the outcome Yakumo." Sarah said.

Yakumo nodded "yes I promise…may the best girl win?" Yakumo said with a small but nervous smile.

Sarah nods "yeah…good luck…" she smiles.

"You're going to need it…"
