My name is Erika Lynn. You've never heard of me, and I've never been too outspoken. I watch from a distance, the man who caught my heart. I believe he is part of a large family and I hear he wants to be a doctor someday. I wonder why such a highly prestigious man would hang around with a sicko, long hair weirdo and a regularly peculiar man.

I have pictures of him through the years. I made it a months goal to get every picture I could. It amazed me at how many had the two other Sohma's in them. It only took a month to gather plenty of pictures. I took my own of him that didn't consist of them and they are in a separate book altogether.

Then that idiot became school council president! I don't understand how, but it's good that his trainer got second in command.

I know I'll probably never win his heart. But for now, while I gather my strengths, he's a porcelain doll too delicate to touch.

Hatori walked toward school with Shigure walking next to him and talking about some 'little flower' he met the other day and planned to actually talk to today. Aya was walking around smiling because he'd annoyed Hatori and so he'd told him to walk, not talk.

Erika walked past them as they entered the school yard. She didn't always mean to, but she just had to, to get to her class. Their class. She had a light blush on. At these times, it was the closest she ever got to him and it always made her blush, but she's been able to keep it to a light pink lately.

"Ha'ri!" Ayame said quietly.

"Ayame, you can talk now." Hatori sighed.

"Yay! Anyway.. Ha'ri. Have you ever noticed that girl? The one that just passed us?" Aya asked.

"You mean the one with the blue ribbon in her hair?" Hatori asked with little interest.

"So you like her enough to notice her ribbon? Ha'ri!" Aya smiled.

"No... she just happens to always wear that ribbon and you always point her out in large crowds when that's all you can see of her." Hatori looked at his snake friend.

"Oh. Well ....."

"No Aya. I am not going to go talk to her, or ask her out, nor do I keep a shrine of her. No matter how romantic you think it would be." Hatori sighed again.

Aya pouted. Then smiled. "Ok. There's always tomorrow!" And Aya hopped off ahead of them.

"Hatori? Is it okay for him to be alone like that?" Shigure asked.

"Sometimes. Come on, lets go." Hatori looked back at him.

"Hellooo!!!" Aya called to the only girl in the room. It was Erika. She looked up and would said something like 'get out' except this was one of Hatori's friends.

"Hi." she replied. 'Good. Keep it short-sweet and simple.' Erika went back to drawing on the paper she had out.

"What's that?" Aya asked. Erika looked up to glare at him but found he wasn't there. He was behind her, looking over her shoulder.

"How'd you.." "Is that Ha'ri?" Aya grabbed the picture and held it up. "It is!" Aya handed it back to her. "You like Ha'ri?" he asked. Erika flushed. "Wonderful!" Aya was extremely pleased about this.

"So.. why don't you ever talk to him?" "I'm.. uh..." "Nervous?" "Ya." "I'll introduce you if you like." "What? I.. I.." "Great! Then it's settled! Meet me out front after school!" Aya jumped from the room.

Hatori and Shigure had passed the room and thought Aya was just talking to her. And when they paused to watch, the noticed she was blushing. Shigure raised an eyebrow.

"So Ayame has a fan?" Hatori asked. "It appears so." Shigure answered. Surprised, they both walked off to class.

What do you think? should I continue? I haven't read all the manga. only 1-5! How do you people get a hold of all those other copies?! I'm doing my best from what I know.
