Takeru stood there, wide-eyed, and furiously scarlet. "H-H-Hikari... Did she really say that?" he thought. Soon, he started to go into a stride.
"Hikari! WAIT!!!"
Takeru ran down the halls that Hikari had went through, Daisuke following, his face still red from the door. After what seemed an eternity, Takeru, and unknown to him Daisuke, found Hikari at her locker, hiding her face in it. It was evident that she was still embarassed. Takeru placed a hand on Hikari's shoulder.
"HEY TS! LAY OFF MY GIRLFRIEND!" shouted Daisuke that startled both Takeru and Hikari. They both turned around, Takeru sneaked a glance at Hikari. She was still blushing furiously red, and trembling madly. Takeru took her hand, but that ensued another rambling of Daisuke...
"HEY TL, WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT LAYING OFF OF KARI!?!?"
"Shut up and go away," said Hikari, suprisingly. Daisuke took this as a blow to the chest."I rather have TK rather than you any day." Now, Daisuke was pissed. He egged on Takeru, calling him a bunch of different names:
"TA!" shouted Daisuke.
"TK." corrected Takeru.
"TV!"
"TK."
"TR!"
"TK."
"TC!"
"TK."
"TZ!"
"IT'S TK!!!!!" Takeru has finally snapped, as he leaned forward and gve a right forehand punch straight at Daisuke's jaw. He then followed up with an uppercut to the chest. Daisuke countered with a rapid jab at Takeru's stomach and a straight punch at Takeru's face. I won't lose. he thought. "I'M FIGHTING FOR HIKARI!!!!" he unknowingly shouted out loud as he gave a clothesline punch straight at Daisuke's face, which had enough force to push him back to the next row of lockers. And all this time, Hikari stood there, wide-eyed, particularly when he had said he was fighting for her. The bell soon rang, and classes began to file for next class. Takeru was fighting... for me? thought Hikari. When the fight was over, she approached Takeru, and saw that he was bleeding from his mouth, which came from the punch Daisuke gave him.
"Takeru, here, take my handkerchief." said Hikari, pulling a cloth from her bag.
"No, it's okay." replied Takeru, rubbing it off with his hand. However, Hikari clung to his arm.
"Takeru... were you fighting... for me?" Takeru blushed, and Hikari started to get a little redder.
"Y-Yeah... because..." started Takeru, but then the bell rang, signaling for next class. Takeru took his arm away from Hikari, and started to run off. "If we don't hurry, we'll be late Hikari!"
"Takeru... why..." she said softly as soon as she walked after him. Takeru... if only you knew what I was hoping you would say... But what were you going to say? thought Hikari.
Upon reaching the locker rooms, Takeru was told he received another week of detention, for fighting with Daisuke. Within a few minutes, everyone was on the basketball court.
"Okay boys and girls," said the basketball coach. "Today is co-ed basketball. Captains, Takaishi, Motomiya, pick your teams. "Takaishi, you go first."
"I pick..." started Takeru, "Hikari."
Everyone was looking at him in amazement. His basketball buddies were all staring wide-eyed at him. Hikari felt herself blush, as everyone turned to look at her now. She silently walked towards Takeru, and when she reached him, she whispered:
"Thank you, Takeru..."
"Don't mention it." replied Takeru, whispering.
The selection went on, and the game started. Takeru half the time passed the ball to Hikari, who passed it back to him immediately, which Takeru transformed into a lay up. Takeru's team whooped Daisuke's team, 40-15, leading in points was Takeru, and leading in assists was Hikari.
After the game...
Hikari was thinking hard. Why did he choose me first? I'm not that good in basketball... Maybe he does like me... But as much as I like him? she thought. School was over for the day, and Takeru was ready to walk home, until Hikari caught up to him.
"Hey Takeru."
"Yeah?"
"Are you..." she stopped. She couldn't get out what she wanted to say.
"Hikari... are you free on Saturday?" asked Takeru. Hikari was half-shocked, and half-glad. She wrapped her arms around him and said very happily:
"YES!"
"I'll meet you at your house at 6 then."
"Okay!" replied a delighted Hikari, and she kissed him on the cheek, leaving him wide-eyed as she left in Taichi's car. Taichi started to make some conversation with Hikari.
"So Kari, what did TK talk to you about?"
"N-Nothing."
"He's your boyfriend isn't he? Of course it has to be something."
"I-It's nothing!"
"Probably asked you out on a date..."
"I swear, Yamiga Taichi, if you don't stop I'll kill you!"
"Ooh, I'm scared, Kari."
"You better be!" retorted Hikari, before Taichi shut up. From her bag she pulled out a little notebook. In it she scribbled Takeru's name multiple times, dreamily, with a pink pen. With each time she wrote it she drew a heart sround it. Taichi, who had sneakily put a mirror in the back, saw what she was doing with the rear view mirror, and what she was writing, with the add on mirror.
"Writing TK's name again, are you, Kari?"
"H-Huh? I wasn't writing anything!" shouted Hikari, quickly closing the book.
"Look up, lil sis."
"Wha?" Hikari looked up and saw the mirror that Taichi had put up without anyone noticing before. A furiously red Hikari soon screamed. "YAMIGA TAICHI!!!!!" All Taichi did then was snigger. The scream was loud enough that Takeru heard it, only a few blocks away from their car.
"Hikari...?"
