Mitani: The hot-tempered first caption.

Koike: The short little kid that joined the GO club after Hikaru came back for a visit.

Natsume: The one who tried to drag Mitani back.

Kaneko: Mitani's worst enemy? The lovely volleyball player.

Kumiko: The second girl to ever join the Go club

Akari: The Hikaru obsessed? Only now, Hikaru-ism is Yuuki-ism.

Harisa and Mina: Made up characters to fill in the storyline

Chapter three

Akari plumed through the flower petals. "He loves me, he loves not me. He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he-"

"Hey."

Akari looked up to see Harisa sitting down next to her, swinging her legs on the marsh inlets of the grass.

Harisa twirled around with a stand of her blue hair. "Is this what you do all the time, stare at the lake while foretelling your future with a flower?"

Akari laughed. "Of course not."

"Then what are you doing here? The GO club is right across campus."

The brunette paused. "I just wanted a peace of quite, that's all."

Harisa snorted. "While making everyone worried? Kumiko's looking around for you, she just had a 5 handicap tie with Mitani. And pretty happy too."

The other girl smiled. "She should be, Yuuki-kun is a wonderful GO player."

"Tisk. Yuuki-kun?" The Blue haired girl smacked her gum playfully. "Since when are you on a first name basis with him."

Akari shrugged. "I don't remember. Since a years ago?"

"Ah. Young love." Harisa teased, leaning over the other girl. "Here we all are, studying hard for the high school entrance exam; and miss GO lover still have time for flower petal fortunes?" She snatched the flower out of the other girl's hand.

"Anyway, you should get going. At least, before Yuuki-kun gets worried." She smirked, then ran through the bridge. She paused halfway, then turned around to see that Akari had already picked up another flower.

"He loves me, he loves me not. He loves me, he loves me not. He-"

"Hey, dreamer girl!" Harisa shouted from midway through the bridge. "He's standing right behind you!" giggled, then ran away.

"Ah." Akari jerked around.

To find her self face to face with Mitani Yuuki.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



Mina sighed. "What did you do this time?"

"Who, me?" Harisa raided such innocence, one can only tell. "All I did was to ask Mitani to look for Akari."

"But you knew here she was." Koike pointed out, fixing his side of the mess on the GO board.

"So I did." ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"So, do you ever see him?"

"Who?

"Shindo."

Akari paused. "Hikaru? He lives near me, but that's about it."

"He tied with Touya in his last tournament." Yuuki pointed out bluntly.

"So he did." Akari nodded. "I always knew there was something with Hikaru and his GO board. But its kind of funny, I only took on GO because he did. Now look where he is, and I'm only the second caption of the junior high GO club."

Silence.

"Yuuki-kun, why do you hate Hikaru so much?" As soon as she said it, her hand reached up to cover her mouth.

He stared at her. "I don't hate Shindo."

"But you always get so mad whenever someone talks about him." She said softly.

"It's just that I always had this feeling, he only used me as a stepping stone to his own success." He paused. "Shindo always gets everything he wants."

"At first, I felt that way too." Akari replied. "But the more I think about it, it's his success. As his friend, the only thing I can ever do is be happy for him. And if I can't do that, I might as well be the one using him."

"Shindo is a lucky guy." Yuuki said slowly. "He only started GO four years ago, and now he's on top of the charts." Yuuki shrugged. "He always had his head up high for no apparent reason, and he always had you."

"Excuse me?"

"Shindo always had you, didn't he?" Yuuki leaned down to face the girl. "All you ever did was following him, right?"

Akari swallowed, his face was a little too close for comfort. "I.... I just wanted to support Hikaru, that's all. I never thought of myself as his."

"But we all did." He stated flatly.

She paused. "Wait a minute. Are you jealous of Hikaru?"

He automatically backed up, flushing. "Who me? Who should I be jealous of him?"

Akari giggled.

Yuuki snorted. "Oh yeah, whatever. So he's the most popular GO prodigy, and has his own personal assistant. And even before he was famous, he always had this cute girl following him everywhere around-"

He was cut off when Akari jerked on his suspenders, so he was face to face with her again.

She smiled. "If you like me, Yuuki, just say it."

"I do not."

"Okay then, I'll just ask Hik-"

"Okay, FINE!" He yelled, giving up. "I like you, okay? Is that so wrong?" He tried to glare at her, but never less failed.

"That's fine, because I like you too."

"See? That's what I'm talking about! You always center around Shi-" He paused. "What did you just say?"

Akari smiled. "I said, I like you too."

"Oh."

She giggled. "Wow, now isn't this awkward?"

He smirked. "You're telling me."

She paused. "Can I get a kiss from the great Mitani?"

He leaned down. "Granted."

- FIN

I have NO idea what color hair Akari is suppose to have, it look kind of pink-ish.

Also, sorry for the OCC-ness here, and I have NO idea where Akari learned to trick guys like that. lolz

Don't know where the idea came from, but its down, do there?!

Reviews, please?
