I'm not that sure ok.

To some of my reviewers:

ClassicElfRyoko: I really like your idea, and I'm thinking about it. But, I think I'll rather have Hoto like Miaka but then he'll fall in love with Houki after Miaka rejects him. I'm not that sure, but I'll think about it ok?

Minako-hime: School, and my other fanfic are the only ones that are holding me back, and my brother is always on the comp so its really hard for me, but I'll try to make chappies longer.

Umei-Akki-Tadashi-Ozawa: U feeling lots better now? Maybe you were sick or something? Hope u feel better now.

And to all my other readers, thanks to you guys too. WEll, here's chapter 3, enjoy!

Chapter 3: Dreadful Project and Yui's crush

Miaka stood up as the bell, signaling for lunch break, rang. Miaka grabbed her backpack and slung it on her shoulders, and she carefully picked up her books and nestled it on her arms.

"Miaka, let's go!" Yui cried. She stood at the doorway and waited for Miaka.

"I'm coming," Miaka headed to the doorway and followed Yui outside. They both walked through the hallway and talked nonstop, both heading to the quad area to meet Yui's friends.

"Come on Miaka, it'll be fun, and besides he seems to like it."

"I don't care! I don't want to have him as my partner for my first project for English." Miaka reminisced about the most dreadful thing that happened to her in her first period class.

Flashback

" Okay, I really don't want to give any home works, or projects to you guys yet until next week, but I think it will be better if you guys had something to work on," Mr. Takon announced to the class, " so I have decided to give you guys a small project and you guys will be partnered with someone."

The class sighed when they heard that they're getting partners to work with. Miaka looked at Yui and smiled at her. She was really hoping that she could get Yui as her partner for this one. She listened intently to Mr. Takon as he announced whom they're partnering with.

"Don't you think it would be better if he partnered us both Mi-chan," Tamahome whispered in her ear. Miaka completely forgot that this handsome guy was sitting beside her, and she shivered at the mild contact she had with him.

"No, I don't really think that's a good idea at all, and stop calling me by that name ok."

"Whatever you say Mi-chan, but I really think that it's a good idea. Working with you means that we'll be having lots of time..together."

Miaka's heart started beating fast, she clearly knows that Tamahome is flirting with her, or maybe she just likes teasing her. Miaka felt her face turning red, she turned her head away and looked at Mr. Takon instead. Miaka tried to ignore him but she couldn't until she heard Mr. Takon announced Yui's name.

"Yui, you will be partnering with...Nakago."

Miaka's smile disappeared and it turned into a frown. She looked at Yui and Yui mouthed 'Sorry', and Miaka mouthed back ' that's okay' and smiled a bit but she couldn't hide her disappointment.

"So you wanted her to be your partner huh?" she looked at Tamahome and glared at him. Tamahome just smiled at her, and he cocked his head to the side.

Miaka looked at Yui once again, and she caught her looking at this blonde haired guy, who supposedly is Nakago. Miaka smiled at that, and she knew that thisguy is the lucky person that Yui has got a crush on.

Yui didn't tell her, but she can always tell when Yui has got a crush on someone and vice versa. Miaka looked at Nakago and thought,"He's not that bad, he's okay for Yui."

Tamahome caught Miaka looking at Nakago and back to her bestfriend and wondered what was going on. He just can't take his eyes away from this girl; it seems that he's starting to fall for Miaka. Tamahome ignored that thought," No I can't fall for her, I won't let myself. I'll just let it stay on the teasing, and stuff, but no I won't fall for her. I mean I've only met her today for chrissake"

Miaka turned her full attention back to Mr. Takon as he announced the remaining students to their partners. She finally heard him say her name out loud, but the words that came out of his mouth after that totally shocked her.

"Ms. Miaka Yuki, you'll be partnering with Mr. Tamahome Sairo," after that was said, Mr. Takon headed to the back to announce the other's partners.

Miaka covered her face with her hands and muttered," No, no, no, no, no, no," over and over again. Tamahome looked at her, and grinned. He leaned over to her ear, and whispered, "Well, it seems that Mr. Takon thinks its a good idea too."

Miaka looked at Tamahome and glared at him with evil eyes, and in return Tamahome just grinned back at her. Miaka looked at Yui once again, and Yui motioned her to calm down and accept it. Miaka sighed and she placed her head down on the desk.

" Ok, so now that you have your partners , let me tell you what the project will be all about," Mr. Takon said," you and your partners will be spending time with each other, trying to learn some insights about this person. You guys will have to gather infos about your character, things about their cultures, family, backgrounds, and that sort of stuff. You have a week to work on this and you'll be having an oral presentation for this. That's about it, remember one week everyone, so you can start workingon this maybe after school, or before school, or maybe even at lunch. Now, onto the lecture."

Mr. Takon proceeded on teaching the class, but Miaka couldn't seem to hear anything that the teacher says. All she could think about is how she's gonna be spending time with Tamahome.

She saw Tamahome, his chin in his upturned palm, with a wide set smirk on his face.

End of flashback

"Oh, Miaka, quit your whining. Tamahome isn't that bad, as I told you he's nice once you get to know him," Yui scolded.

"Easy for you to say. You don't even care anymore because you got that good looking blonde guy whom you have a crush on...what's his name again? Oh yeah, Nakago." Miaka said slyly.

"Huh? What are you talkin about Miaka. I don't have a crush on him, he's just a partner." Yui blushed furiously. Miaka instantly knew that Yui was lying and she started to giggle at how Yui's face turned beet red.

"Come on Yui, what do you take me for. I'm your best friend for God's sake, and I can instantly tell when you like someone."

" Alright, I had a crush on him since I first laid eyes on him, and he's actually one of my friends."

" Oh that's great!"

"No, its not. He treats me as a friend, and I don't see anymore than that," Yui sadly replied.

" Maybe you just don't see it, Yui, but I bet he has a crush on you too. I'll be looking on that."

"Thanks Miaka, for being such a great friend, but really its ok. Anyways, enough about me, Tamahome seems to like the idea of you two being partnered with each other."

"But can't you see I'm not. Yui, isn't there any other way for me to change partners with someone," Miaka plead.

I don't think so Miaka, Mr. Takon is pretty strict. The more you hate his idea, the more he will push it towards you. Come on, Miaka, give Tamahome a chance. He's a tease but, as I told you over and over again, he really is nice."

" Hmmm, maybe you're right. Alright, I'll cut him a slack, but I just hate the way he keeps calling me by this pet name."

"A pet name?" Yui looked at her with an intrigued look," so what is it?"

"Mi-chan."

"Oooohh, that's cute, and whatever you say anymore he won't stop calling you by that nickname."

" I'll make him regret it someday."

" Whatever Miaka, anyways, let's go!" Yui motioned for her to hurry up. Yui had a smirk on her face as she remembered the time when she and her friends played this game where you have to say something true about things you do, and as she still remembered, Tamahome confessed that he makes up pet names for girls that he seems to be falling for.

Yui's smirk widened as she realizes that Miaka's the first, and who she hopes would be the last.
