Sakamoto was fascinated with the cite of fanfiction(dot)net. It told her lots of interesting data on her own teammates though she stopped going there because Emi and Katou threatened they wouldn't be best friends anymore thus she doesn't attempt to locate the author and try to destroy her (phew…).

Sakamoto was figuring out formulas and strategies for the planned field trip. After summer there would be exams and then a field trip to the mountains for both of the tennis teams. Sakamoto was trying to figure out how she can have an entertaining time and help make each relationship grow.

She was also trying hard to forget the possibility that Inui would like someone. She wondered about it countless times. Maybe it would be a girl that was beautiful like Usio, shy like Amane, or even as wild as Yumi. The possibilities were endless.

Sakamoto did not like the idea of Inui liking someone else because she already knew from the moment her heart sped up faster when she saw him for the first time; she had already fallen in love with him. That's why she didn't want any other girl in the picture.

'There is no way I could have missed anything. I know his movements and how he reacts to different people for different things so why? Who is this girl that caught his eye?' Sakamoto questioned.

'And why can't he tell me? Is the girl so important that he has to keep it from me, his best friend? Well… it would make sense since I would absolutely try my best to get the two together but my will to help is lower than my will to sabotage…' Sakamoto grimaced at the thought.

Sakamoto shook her head and focused more on the field trip. She wanted to make sure that she would be able to entertain herself the whole trip. So Sakamoto began working on a few inventions until a certain data man came to visit her.

As soon as Sakamoto heard the bell ring, she snapped her fingers. In a matter of seconds, the robot maid was waiting for further instructions from her master. "Open the door and let him in." Sakamoto said.

She already knew the data man would visit her since she has a camera in the doorway and a TV connected to the camera was in her room where she was planning/inventing stuff. When he entered, she had already been drinking her tea.

"Good evening, Inui." She said formally.

"Good evening, Miharu." He said, taking out his notebook.

"Should we talk about our team's growing relationships?" Sakamoto asked.

"Hmm, they've made progress over the summer." Inui said.

"Yes, but some of them are a little slow like Yumi and Eiji pair. Eiji seems to have small sparks and Yumi likes Eiji but she's a bit dense." Sakamoto explained.

"That's right." Inui agreed, jotting some notes in his notebook.

"…and I also noticed that we are the only two who don't have a pair…" Sakamoto added.

There was an awkward silence between the two. This has never ever happened before. Sure there were times when they were silent but it was comfortable not like how it is right now. They were both tense. Sakamoto decided to speak first.

"But you have someone you like, ne? Why don't you tell me and I'll help bring you two together." Sakamoto business smiled. She was trying hard not to torture Inui for the answer.

"That's impossible…" Inui muttered under his breath. 'After all, the girl is you…' He silently added in his head.

Inui Sadaharu, the data man, is in love with his best friend, Miharu Sakamoto. He had been ever since he first met her. A mutual love yet still unknown due to either their density or unwillingness to accept the fact might be true. Either way, it might take a while for these two to get together.

"Really? How about you tell me and then I'll figure out if it's impossible." Sakamoto persisted, clutching her pencil tightly.

"No." He said.

"Inui." Sakamoto managed to say, through slightly clenched teeth.

"No." Inui stated, more sternly.

Sakamoto popped at that moment. She got up and shoved Inui against the wall. Inui, shocked by the sudden push, dropped his glasses. Sakamoto could clearly see his slightly shocked green eyes. Sakamoto smiled sadistically and pressed herself against Inui.

"Tell. Me. Now." She emphasized, making her point more clear.

Inui could see the dangerous look in her eyes and grew scared. Inui cleared his throat. "No." He answered back. Sakamoto's smile grew scarier. She pressed her lips against Inui's. The kiss was sloppy yet passionate.

A new serge of emotions ignited in both Inui and Sakamoto. Sakamoto was glad for watching and reading all of those romance novels, movies, and fanfics for almost the whole summer. She knew exactly how to kiss the right way. Sakamoto tilted her head to deepen the kiss. She felt all nice and fluttery from the kiss.

Inui, obviously shocked and confused, just stood there. He was trying to take it all in. In all of his data experiences about love and dating, it never applied to him, mainly because he was too into tennis and data. Sakamoto kissing Inui was a great shock. Yet he was feeling a new sensation in his body. He felt comfortable and happy.

Sakamoto stopped kissing Inui and smirked. Yes, she smirked. Sakamoto never smirks and that means something is up. "M-Miharu…" Inui stuttered for the first time in probably his whole life.

"You're so mean, Sadaharu. I asked for who you like. I'm your best friend right? When did you become so naughty and stop telling me things? I guess I'll have to torture you until it comes out." Sakamoto chuckled. Inui shivered. Was Sakamoto that serious?

She threw in another kiss only this time is was more neat yet deeper. Sakamoto absolutely loved Inui's flustered face and Inui not having his glasses on was another boost. Inui was naturally handsome and he looked hot without his glasses but due to his sucky vision, he had to lock away his good looks behind his dorky glasses. Sakamoto didn't mind his nerdy glasses. She found it rather cute.

Inui tried to stop kissing Sakamoto because technically she is kind of raping Inui. Inui broke the kiss and turned away, his face still flustered. Sakamoto was angry.

"Why did you turn away, Sadaharu? Look at me." She commanded. Sakamoto cupped both of his cheeks and kissed him again.

And again.

And again.

And AGAIN!

There was no way Inui was going to leave any time soon. His heart was pounding and he felt as if he could die from just a kiss, a kiss from his best friend. Then he remembered.

Sakamoto is his best friend.

"Miharu, we're friends, best friends." Inui said through gasps.

"In America, best friends kiss each other." Sakamoto said.

"It's on the cheek!" Inui said, blushing.

"It's still a contact from skin to skin, like a handshake." Sakamoto said, reverting back to her business smile.

"A handshake and a kiss on the cheek hold an entirely different meaning from a kiss on the lips." Inui said, trying to escape.

Sakamoto pressed harder. "You're not escaping, Sadaharu. I won't let you go until the morning so I can fully humiliate you." Sakamoto chuckled sadistically.

Inui's mouth and eyes were wide with shock. Sakamoto was scary when she was serious.

-Next Morning-

Inui had finally got out of Sakamoto's underground mansion. He was in a daze. His hair was even more messed up than usual, his glasses were slightly off, and his shirt was half tucked in. He staggered as he walked. He could not believe he just kissed his best friend and stayed there all night making out with her.

Meanwhile, Sakamoto was in her mansion, cursing at herself.

"What the F*ck did I just do to my best friend!? I kissed him! And kept him here all night and made out with him! I'm so screwed!" Sakamoto felt guilty.

Only when she was alone or with someone she trusts can she show her emotions. "Ah…I can't be friends with Inui anymore…our friendship is screwed up…and gone…" Sakamoto was laid out on the bed, wallowing in self-pity.

'How am I supposed to fix this…?' She asked to no one in particular.
