They were sitting next to each other.

They were sitting next to each other.

They were sitting next to each other.

It was only the other day when Aoba was proclaiming just how much she hate, hate, hated the guy. But there they were, sitting next to each other.

It shouldn't have been that much of a shock, especially after what happened at the Finals against Ryuou, but it was.

You couldn't blame them. Until that day, that very moment, anyone would have sworn Aoba liked Azuma.

To Azuma, Akaishi, and Nakanishi, this was totally expected. It wasn't that hard to see that the two had feelings for each other, even after the lengths the two went through to hide it.

In her sea, Aoba was getting more and more irritated at the stares the other team mates were giving them. Should it have been that big of a deal just because she was sitting next to Him?

Next to her, Kou could tell Aoba was about to blow. He briefly wondered if taking her hand would cause an even bigger scene before actually doing it. He inconspicuously slipped his hand on top of hers.

Aoba was a little surprised by the sudden act of intimacy. With the roll of paper she was conveniently holding in her other hand; she gave Kou a whack on the head.

Everyone watching wondered what Kou did this time to anger her since it didn't seem as if he had done anything at all. But three who weren't watching knew, just knew what it was.

Despite the act of violence, Kou noticed she didn't pull her hand away. He grinned out the window at the speedily passing scenery.

They were going to Koshien.


A/N: PLEASE Review! I'm begging...really, I am.
