Hey, hey!!! I decided to write this up fast. Anyway, Thanks for reviewing my fic! I really appreciate it!!!!
Now if you are wondering about the other characters, don't hesitate to ask me! I'll make a chapter for those characters. Besides, it'll give you a background for all of them since we don't have these people in the anime!
Once again, I am sorry Taka , Tamahome and T/M fans or any pairing fans which isn't H/M. This fic was made with a lot f passion and support for Hotohori and Miaka... and they will get married soon, I'll make sure of it!
Anyway, I have stomach problems and my mother let me stay in the house instead so I was able to write in this chapter. Made this on June 25 2003, but maybe I've posed this later. now on with the fic..
Please review after reading this....
And I dedicate this to HoshiHikari4ever who have been the first person to review the fourth chapter. If you want me to dedicate a chapter, don't be shy and review every chapter of this fic and I'll give you the honor of having a chapter dedicated to you!

"Anyway, I better go... bye Miaka-koi!" and Odou ran from his locker, and into the pouring rain.
Odou hurriedly ran from the school building. God! What did I do? Now, I won't be able to face her again!!!
It was an awful day for Odou. First my brother now Miaka! he thought to himself.
He ran to the nearest cafe. It was a splendid cafe owned by Odou's old friend, Subaru Kaze. Kaze was six years older than Odou, but this didn't kept the two from being friends.
"Good morning sir," came one of the waitress, "table for one?"
"No, I'm just visiting..." came Odou, "is Kaze here?"
"Subaru-san?" asked the waitress, "he's at the office. Shall I tell him?"
"No, I'll go there myself," replied Odou. He took his wallet and gave the waitress a big tip, and took the hall that leads to the manager's office.
Odou stopped at his tracks when he was at the manager's office's door. What the -- Why'd I went here anyway? he thought, oh well. might as well come in....
He knocked at the door, a bit nervously. When somebody answered for him to come in, he opened the door and said "Kaze? are you in?"
"Odou?" came Kaze, "why are you here? don't you have college today?"
Odou closed the door behind him and sat at the nearest chair available, "Yeah, but it was suspended..."
"Oh?" replied Kaze.
Kaze quickly made some coffee for Odou, and at the same time, talk, "It's been a while since you last came here, Odou..."
Odou smiled at him and said, "I know. I missed this place too. "
"So what made you come here, Odou? Me? I am so touched!"
Odou laughed at Kaze's words, ""well actually, I did"
"really?" asked Kaze, giving Odou a coffee bowl [you know, that big cup as big as a bowl], "you have a problem, don't you?"
"Thanks, and I do have a problem."
"alright let's hear it!"
Odou sighed. After twenty years, I still can't keep anything from Kaze! "Kaze, it's about my brother..."
"Sei? Did something happened to him?" asked Kaze, horrified.
"N-no," replied Odou, blushing for a while since he made Kaze worry, "nothing like that!"
"Oh." Kaze sighed with relief.
"Sei..." came Odou, staring at his coffee, "he's... I think he likes my friend..."
"go on..."
I can't go on, Kaze! What I'm telling you is half killing me! "Kaze, my friend... her name is Akaseikun Miaka. She very nice. Just met her yesterday..."
"And Sei's liking him? I thought he wasn't that shallow!"
"No, but you see, Sei said to me 'Odou, I feel like I've met that friend of yours from the past... only I can't remember when... and her surname seems so familiar!' and I also feel that way towards her but not the surname part. I don't know anyone with an Akaseikun. "
"So, Sei has become some psycho and insists that he've met that friend of yours? "
"He's not psycho!" cried Odou, defending his brother, "I told you that I also feel the same towards her!"
"Okay, okay! don't need to get all offended! Sheesh!"
Odou took a sip and spoke "I'm not sure about this. That Sei's in love with her I mean..."
"So, your brother's in love with your little friend... So? No offense but aren't you a little over-protective over your friend? I mean, sure, that's nice, but you know, Sei's pretty nice too. I'm sure he won't hurt your friend." said Kaze in a matter-of-fact-ly voice. he then began to drink his coffee.
"I think I'm in love with her... "
At that part, Kaze began to splutter and cough the coffee, "WHAT?!?!"
"I'm not sure if it's just lust... I think not. Miaka's not that sexy, but she's nice and funny and.... probably a crush..." came Odou, blushing a little at his little confession, "Oh Kaze! I can't believe it! I feel as if I have to compete with my brother!"
Kaze placed his cup at the table and smiled silently, "I can't believe you're already grown up, Odou. It wasn't so long that you were still in diapers, and now, you're already competing for a girl." He began to laugh
"Kaze! I'm serious! Remember, I'm now in college and most people find their lifetime mates during in colleges!"
"Odou, don't take it that seriously," said Kaze, "remember, you haven't courted Miaka, and Sei hasn't either. Wait for a month or so before confirming your feeling. It might change as you know her."
"But," came Odou, hesitantly, "a while ago, before we parted, I called him 'Miaka-koi'. It just slipped."
"Don't worry about that! Most girls ignores those things. Sometimes a guy would call his best girl friend 'Koi' especially around their boyfriends!
"sure?"
"Yeah."
Odou smiled at Kaze's comments. Maybe she'll forget about that....

Okay! it's done. If it's not as good as you expected, I am sorry. I am sick, remember? Hyperacidity... Damn it!
Anyway, don't forget to review. If you do not do that, you'll be seeing less improvement every time.
