Momiji ended up seeing Momo a few days ago, after he was forced to quit his violin lessons because of his father. Minami was first shocked, that the plot had changed that way, but since she hadn't gone to the Sohma house to see Kureno… it made sense that someone had to check on Momiji. Momiji was thrilled with seeing his little sister, though Momo wasn't sure if he actually was, and was looked like he was glowing the entire week.

The field trip to Kyoto had finally arrived and the entire group seemed ecstatic, not only were they finally getting a breather from school, but they would also be able to hang out amongst themselves. Minami looked up as her group walked through the bamboo forest. "It's so beautiful…" She said with a sigh.

"Yes… how true…" Hana said beside her. "It makes you want to read a haiku…" Hana smiled and closed her eyes and quoted the words from a Kamakura Shogunate 'Let's build a great country'.

"That's not a haiku!" Kyo said and Naomi released a light laugh.

"This isn't Kamakura." Uo said.

"I liked it." Naomi, Kyo's crush said, they walked along beside each other. There was always enough space between them so Kyo would be able to stop Naomi if she ended up bumping into them.

"Y'know, this really isn't the sort of place to go en masse like this? It kills the atmosphere." Uo said.

"But… given that it's a school trip, saying that sort of thing..'" Yuki trailed off.

"Not being free to do a food tour is a pain.." Hana. "I want to eat Nishin soba…"

" 'You' want to eat." Kyo said and Uo wrapped her arms around Minami and Hana.

"Let's come again some time; a trip for us three girls." She said happily.

"That sounds nice…" Hana said.

"You could always take Kureno here." Minami said and looked away as Uo blushed.

"That doctor of yours would love it here too." Hana said since Uo was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Hey hey. Are they the school trips' first couple?" Ken asked, he and Haruki had both been in our groups as well. The two boys had been friends since they were born. Minami looked over at the couple holding hands.

"Hyaa. You're right, you're right." Haruki said.

"Why does the rate of asking people to go out go up with events-?" Ken asked.

"Because they get caught up in things…?" Hana asked.

"The mood, having some alone time, it's the perfect chance." Minami added and looked over at Naomi who was blushing deeply, where did Kyo…?

"Minami." Uo said making her snap her head back at her. "Don't you think it's strange? If there's such a rush to ask people out. The 'Prince' should be getting pulled in all directions, so why is he here killing time?" Minami looked back at the group of girls that were hiding with heart eyes behind them.

"Not to mention, Kyo's more sought after. It seems he's been called aside right now." Yuki said and they looked around.

"Eh…. AA, YOU'RE RIGHT, HE'S REALLY GONE!" Uo yelled.

"SEARCH! FIND HIM!" Uo, Haruki, and Ken yelled though Hana was quick to follow.

"WAIT-" Minami tried to yell but they were already gone. Naomi looked down at the ground, her black hair flowing gently in the wind. "Tanaka-san." Minami said and Naomi jumped and looked up.

"Y-Yes?" She stuttered, her face bright red.

"Don't worry about him." Minami said.

"Kyo will be alright. He won't be won over." Yuki added and took Minami's hand. Minami stretched out hers and with a moment of hesitation, Naomi grabbed hers. Naomi was only a few inches taller than Minami herself, she was average looking but still cute, and much more timid than Tohru ever was. By the time they arrived, the confession had already happened.

"Why… Just why?!" A tall girl with long hair asked. "Why not go out with me. I've always liked you, ever since first year!"

".. So it's not like I like you or anything. I don't even know your name." Kyo said.

"You can get to know my name from here on. If we go out, maybe you'll come to love me." The girl said.

"They're at it; they're at it." Haruki said cheerfully.

"War zone?" Ken whispered.

"Kyon's looking obviously disgusted." Haruki said.

"It's not that sort of problem… enough already. Give me a break…" Kyo said and turned away and walked away from her.

"That's mean… Wait a minute1! Isn't that a little too cold?! Hey…" She grabbed his arm and Kyo snatched his away. A cold look of anger on his face.

"... Don't touch me. You're… annoying." Kyo said. "What're you doing fantasizing on your own about me." Minami felt her jaw drop but the shock didn't last long.

"KYON YOU IDIOT!" Haruki said and pushed Kyo to the ground making the fallen boy scream.

"Wh-What're you guys doing here...?" Kyo asked surprised.

"YOU HAVE TO BE A LOT NICER TO GIRLS!" Haruki yelled as tears fell down his face. It was comical.

"IF YOU'RE NOT NICE, YOU'RE NOT A MAN!" Ken yelled.

"Why the girly talk?" Uo asked.

"You guys; why would you be nice to a girl that you have no interest in?" Kyo asked as he stood up.

"IF YOU ACT LIKE THAT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET ANY GIRLS!" The boys yelled.

"Aa, I've never thought about wanting a girl!" Kyo yelled.

"That's an obvious lie." Minami said as she took a stand beside Kyo. He was about to say something when Haruki and Ken dropped down to the floor.

"I want to say that…"

"I want to say words like that…"

"I want a girl, I want a girl, Ahhh I want a girl. I want one so much."

"To the point of being annoying I want a girl. Because I want a girl."

"What's with you guys…?" Kyo asked.

"Really annoying…" The girl with long hair said, she was about as tall as Uo. "Coming to interfere is really low…" She stood by Uo and looked at her. "... You like Kyo don't you…!" Kyo and Uo heads fell back.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" They yelled in her face and making the girl startled.

"My my.. You're having fun.." Hana said.

"I think they've gone insane." Minami muttered. Yuki noticed a teacher coming and Minami, Naomi and Yuki made their quick escape. It took about ten minutes but the other group returned, the long haired girl nowhere in sight.

"... So You got yelled at by a teacher and came back….?" Yuki asked.

"Are… Are you alright…?" Naomi asked as she stood besides Kyo.

"Everything's fine, Tana-chan." Hana said.

"Tana-" Naomi went to say but Hana kept talking.

"I was with them the whole time so nothing major happened…" Hana said.

"Lair, you were buying snacks!" Kyo said.

"We were lucky it's Mayu-chan that caught us." Uo said.

"Aa-h but that really pisses me off! Assuming things and taking them out of me! I'm definitely not going to become like that girl." Uo said annoyed and Minami looked back and noticed Kyo talking to Naomi, with a small smile on his face.

"He looks happy, doesn't he?" Minami asked Yuki and he looked back.

"He does." Yuki looked down at her and they stared into each other's eyes for a long moment. He sent Minami a soft smile. "Without you being here, I wonder if I would have had as much fun here."

Minami blinked at him and felt heat on her face.

"Is this a confession?" Minami asked and his face turned red. He hide his face with his hands.

"N-No, I was just happy I met you." Yuki said and Minami was sure her face was the color of a tomato.

"I'm envious." Hana said and Minami snapped her head over to look at her only to see the entire group staring at them.

"W-what?" They asked. Haruki and Ken sent them a knowing expression. "It's platonic!"
