Koushiro smiled at nothing in particular, just mostly his thoughts. Sure his mind would usually be on those hard equations that are seeming impossible to solve, but at this moment...it was on a much more southing problem. The young boy kept his eyes upon his computer screen, slowly typing up finishing touches to his essay before school started. `Why is this so hard?´ The young red head sighed despairingly and slouched back away from his elusive keyboard.

"What´s wrong?"

"Huh?" Koushiro peered toward the doorway of the room and say his two friends grinning at him. "Oh..." he slowly sat up and grinned. "Nothing much Sora-san, I am just thinking."

The girl giggled and walked up to Koushiro. She leaned upon the back of his chair and looked down upon him warmly. "About what?"

"Yeah! Tell us!" Taichi foolishly pranced toward Sora and Koushiro. He stopped in front of the two and crossed his arms. "So?"

The red head smiled and looked at his friends. Taichi looked as if he had a dirt fight, and Sora was also a tad bit filthy along with a small book she held onto tightly. He sighed and turned back to his computer. "Nothing important." Silence followed. Koushiro got a little uneasy and pondered upon the silence. He turned back to Taichi and Sora who were giving strange looks to him. "Nani?"

"Koushiro-san! Everything you think about is important! I mean...you always like to discuss your thoughts. What´s wrong?" Sora came around from behind her red headed friend and placed a hand upon his shoulder.

"Yeah man! You never, once in your life, gave a response like that!" Taichi pulled a chair and sat in it backwards to where his legs were separated around the back. He leaned forward and raised an eyebrow.

Koushiro, a little uneasy, sweat dropped. "Guys? Quit it!" He slowly leaned away from his two friends. "Nothing is wrong."

Taichi and Sora looked at each other for a second before sighing. They looked at their friend and shook their heads. "Lier."

The young teen girl walked over to the computer table and pushed herself to sit on top of it. "Come on! Tell us!" She smiled. "Does this have something to do with Miyako-chan´s birthday?"

This caught Koushiro off by surprise. "Her birthday?" Koushiro´s voice went a little soft with embarrassment. "Why do you say that?" He looked away from his friends and stared at his computer sideways, slowly giving off a blush. He rushed his hand through his hair nervously and with uncomfort.

"It is, isn´t it!" Taichi laughed. He leaned his hand upon the palm of his hand and placed his elbow on the back of the chair that was in front of him as he sat.

"Aww! How kawaii!" Sora clasped her hands and giggled.

"Yamato-san?" Miyako peered into the auditorium for her little rock star friend. Miyako knew she would find her friend her, for he was always practicing before school. She grabbed her long velvet hair and twisted it to the side of her face in nervousness. "Yamato-san? Please be here...Izumi-sempai already gave me a..."

"Miyako?"

The girl shook with a jolt of fright and turned to see the young blonde friend standing in the doorway with a smile. The younger teen girl glared at him. "Why does everyone always do that to me!" She whacked Yamato in the shoulder harshly.

The boy obviously had no clue what she was talking about, but he laughed at her petty scare. "Sorry Miyako." He walked past her, rubbing his arm from where Miyako hit him, and sat down in front of a speaker. "What are you doing here any..." He was silenced by a quick motion of Miyako´s hand. A small piece of paper was held in front of his face. "What´s this?" The boy began to look it over.

"It is an invite to my birthday party!" The girl smiled widely, but it soon faded when she saw Yamato with a blank expression. "Nani?"

"Gomen nasai Miyako. I can´t make it."

"But why!" She pouted and griped her fists in anger.

The blonde boy stood up and sighed. "Because I have to go to Kyoto tomorrow for a concert. I wish I could go Miyako, but I doubt I can cancel this concert. It is already sold out." He walked over to Miyako and placed his hand upon her shoulder in comfort. "I am sure your party will be great without the awesome Ishida Yamato there!" he joked.

A smile formed on Miyako´s lips. "Very funny. I guess it doesn´t matter," she sighed.

"I can give you your birthday present now if you like?" The boy smiled slyly and began to chuckle at his thought. He leaned forward and kissed Miyako lightly upon the cheek, catching the girl by surprise. "Happy Birthday! Now you are one of the few girls that got to be kissed by yours truly."

The velvet haired girl was in a deep blush, before coming to. She laughed, "Don´t kid yourself Ishida-sama!" She stuck out her tongue. Yamato laughed and tackled Miyako to the ground. "Ah! Yamato! Stop!"

Yamato grinned and began to unmercifully tickle his friend. "This´ll teach you to insult me!" The boy laughed loudly as the girl under him squirmed with uncontrollable laughter.

"Stop!" Miyako shook with laughter as Yamato´s hands went all around her stomach. "I mean it!"

The blonde rock star took one final laugh and got off his friend. He smiled and looked down at the deep breathing violet haired girl. "I guess that teaches you." He stuck his tongue at her childishly and helped the girl off the floor.

A hand whacked the boy in the shoulder playfully. "Yeah, whatever!" Miyako smirked. "Well to bad you can´t come."

"Why?" Yamato began to fixed his uniform.

"Because," she giggled devilishly, "I plan to have a boy-girl sleep over, and Mimi-chan was coming to visit for my weekend party."

The boy went wide eyed. "Are you serious!" A groan escaped his throat. "Dang! But on your invite, it said an all girl´s sleep over." He pouted a bit.

Miyako looked up innocently. "Yep, but Sora-chan came up with the idea."

Yamato slapped his face, "Sora came up with it! I should have known." The boy sighed. "So Mimi and Sora are going to be there and not me. Curse my bad luck." He smirked at the young violet haired girl. "Nah, but happy birthday anyways Miyako." He turned and walked away, grabbed his guitar from a chair, and sat down. "You want to watch me practice? I´ll play a song just for this occasion."

Miyako sighed despairingly and nodded, "Sure, I have nothing else to do before school starts."

The blonde teen grinned, "Uh huh." He turned his attention to his guitar and began to tune it up and fix the amplifier.

`Who else do I need to invite,´ Miyako thought to herself as sat down upon an empty chair and listened to Yamato begin to play his soft music. `Let´s see. Mimi, Sora, Taichi, and Izumi-sempai are coming. So, I need to invite Takeru, Hikari, Daisuke, Ken, Iori, and Jyou.´ I sigh escaped her lips. Her deep brown eyes peered up to look at her blonde friend. `I just hope they can come...´ She smiled as she listened to the music that filled the room magically like a dream. She slowly pulled some of her hair behind her ear and slowly began to hum along to the parts she already knew.
~~~~~~~~~~

"So that´s my problem..." Koushiro bit his lip and waited for Sora and Taichi to laugh at him, but instead...their goofy looking grins were splashed across their faces. He let out a groan and crossed his arms. "Quit smiling at me like that!"

Sora touched her cheek and had these jiggly eyes that seemed to want to cry. "I can´t believe it!"

Taichi smirked and chuckled a bit. "Sora, you are always clue-less." The boy laughed loudly, only to receive a whack in the arm.

"Oh you baka! And nani?! You knew?" She glared at the bushy haired boy.

Taichi nodded while Koushiro blushed wildly. "Come on guys. Don´t let this slip out." The red headed boy turned back to his computer to get his mind off the thought that he let out a deep secret. His hand went straight to his mouse and clicked away saving his essay that he was working upon before.

Sora and Taichi looked at their computer expert and tilted their heads a bit clueless. Sora hopped off the computer table that she sat upon, clung to her diary, and fixed her skirt. "Don´t worry to much Koushiro-san. We won´t tell anyone, right Taichi-san?" No response came. "Taichi-san?" The girl turned around to see Taichi staring off into space. "TAICHI!"

The boy snapped out of his so called space wandering and smiled. "You say something Sora?"

The girl huffed and stomped her foot. "You baka! I said that we won´t revel Koushiro-san´s secret!" She placed her hands upon her hips as her fearful glare shot at her friend.

"Of course I won´t Sora. I would never in a hundred years!" He got up from the chair he sat upon and walked toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Sora crossed her arms.

"Huh?" Taichi looked back with a smirk. "I was just going to tell Yamato about Koushiro´s secret." He slapped his head playfully and laughed sarcastically. "Oops. I forgot!"

Koushiro laughed to himself as he watched his two friends duke it out. He trusted them fully, even though Taichi does joke a lot. He stood up from his seat and clicked his mouse over to print his essay. Ever so often he would look over at Sora who was slapping Taichi, and Taichi who was laughing like a fool, and smile. `They are great friends.´ A frown soon played on his lips. `I just hope their support won´t make them do anything drastic.´ Koushiro thought about the consequences of telling them. `Stupid Koushiro...really stupid.´ The boy slapped his forehead and shut down the computer.

RIIING

Sora blinked as she looked blankly with surprise. "The bell is ringing already?"

"Sora! Ack! You´re choking me!"

The girl looked in front of her to see Taichi flapping his arms wildly as she held his throat. She gasped and released the boy. A giggle filled the room. "Gomen Taichi-san." She smiled down upon the boy that was now on the floor gasping for air.

Koushiro came up from behind the two teens, tucked his newly printed out essay papers in his leather briefcase, and smiled. "Ready to go to class Taichi? Or do you and the floor want some privacy?" He laughed and Sora went along with the simple joke.

Taichi groaned and glared. "Very funny!" He stood up and straightened his uniformed jacket collar. "Ok ready." He smiled at his friends like nothing happened and turned to the door. "Race you guys to class!" He sped off leaving Koushiro and Sora dumbfounded. When they finally realized what happened, they smirked and took off after Taichi.
~~~~~~~~~~

She swayed back and forth through the song and loved listening to Yamato sing. In fact, she loved his voice. Miyako and Yamato have became very close friends ever since she hit high school. Everyone viewed her as the new geek of the school till Yamato came to her rescue. She giggled at the memory. On her first day of school, a huge group of kids had gathered around her and started to tease her harshly. She had cried during that time. `I was always told high school would be tough,´ she giggled and kept her look on Yamato, as he played with his eyes closed...as if he was feeling every note that was being played. When the group had teased her, Yamato came out of no where and guarded her strongly. He always stood up for her, even though in the past she and he never really conversed much. The velvet haired girl sighed as the lovely song ended, and Yamato opened his eyes after playing. His smile shined to her. "You liked it Miyako?"

"Hai! Very much!" Miyako stood up and clutched her leather school bag. She walked over to the boy, bent down, and gave him a huge hug. "Arigatou Yamato-san. It was very kirei!" She stood up and looked down upon him as a evil thought crossed her mind. Her eyes glowed innocently as she giggled. "You still need improvement though Yamato-san!" She smirked.

Yamato chuckled and soon pouted. "You think I play badly?" He had to hold in his laugh as he said this, trying to give as much of a hurtful impression as he could.

"Hai!" She giggled. It was always their inside joke. The young girl would always make fun of his talents and, Yamato would always pretend to take them seriously. Even though they both knew that he had great talent. "To bad you may never hit it big!" She laughed and soon...

RIIING

Miyako took one last look at Yamato before running off out of the auditorium. Yamato stared after his friend and laughed. "Come back here Miyako! No one makes fun of my talents and gets away with it!" The boy grabbed his leather bag and took off after Miyako.
~~~~~~~~~~

A day like any other day passed. School dragged by slowly, as Miyako stayed daydreaming about her birthday party, that was a day away, and hung around Yamato and Koushiro as much as she could. The girl was hyper all day like she was on sugar, and no one cared...they acted just as hyped on sugar as she.

Yamato joked around with Sora and Taichi, and at moments Miyako would join. He spent his time practicing for the Kyoto concert.

Taichi and Sora would duke it out like they were fearsome enemies even though they were best friends, and one would eventually win. More than 85% of the time it would be Sora.

Koushiro hung with Sora, Taichi, and Miyako a lot during the day...never giving away any evidence that he held a small secret that only Sora and Taichi knew, and hopefully wouldn´t tell. But, he knew full heartily that his two friends would take matters into their own hands and regretted fully for telling them.

Yep a typical day like any other day...so what will Miyako´s birthday day be like?
