A/N: alrite, the previous chapter was utter CRAP. Hopefully this one's better, neh? Anyways, moving on....

"WAAAAAAAAIII!!!!!!!!! HE ASKED YOU!?!?!?!?!? SUGOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sakura cried when Chiharu told her the news at lunch. Chiharu blushed and nodded, looking at her lap.

"KAWAII!!!!!!!" all girls but Chiharu cried out.

"What's so 'kawaii'?" a deep male voice asked from behind.

Chiharu nearly died thinking it was Takashi, but turned around to see all the guys except him.

Syaoran noted her relieved expression and figured something happened with Yamazaki but he wasn't there. "He's in the classroom, still trying to convince Mrs. Piquado that the history books are all wrong."

None of the girls looked very surprised, but then Tomoyo jumped up and down, giddy expression still on her face.

"YAMAZAKI-KUN ASKED HER TO THE PROM!!!!!!" she screeched at the top of her lungs, causing Chiharu to blush darker and avoid everyone's eye contact.

"Tomoyo you are so dead...." she grumbled, but instead of the ridicule she thought she would receive, all the guys were speaking to her.

"Wow, really? He finally got the guts to do it?"

"Sugoi!"

"Congratulations!!"

"I didn't think he had it in him!"

Chiharu blinked in surprise as everybody gave her supporting smiles and pats on the back.

"B-but it's nothing to celebrate! We're just going as friends! It's not a big deal!!! MOU ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING TO ME!??!?!"

Everyone stopped their conversation.

They all stared at her, blinking for a couple seconds, turned to each other, then back to her.

"Nope." they all chorused.

Chiharu really felt like killing them all.

"'Nope' what?"

[THERE IS A GOD!!!!!]

Chiharu looked up and saw her knight in shining armor, Takashi, looking as if he had just run to the Sakura tree, their special lunch spot.

"Finally gave up, Yamazaki?" Syaoran asked, leaning forward from his perch against the tree and giving him a high five in greeting.

"ME!? GIVE UP!? NEVER!!" he cried, but his face split in a goofy grin. "Sensei threatened to flunk me."

Eriol frowned. "You're already flunking, you don't need her help for that!"

Takashi frowned and blinked.

"BY GEORGE, YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!!!" he cried in surprise. "THAT DAMN BITCH TRICKED ME!!!!" Takashi looked like he was about to run off again, but Chiharu-chan decided it was mallet time.

WHAM

"Ah, Haru-chan! Pleasant day, ne?"

"It's lunchtime, Bakashi. Join us back on Earth will ya?"

"Alright, alright, but first I need to tell you something.

He was about to lean in and whisper something in her ear, but she broke him off with an angry growl, saying "If it's another lie, Bakashi, I don't wanna hear it."

He backed off immediately with a grin on his face and rubbed the back of his head, chuckling.

"Guilty as charged, 'Haru-chan"

Chiharu sighed and sat back down. "You're hopeless, 'Yami...."

Everyone grinned at the unofficial and very oblivious couple.

Takashi twiddled his thumbs innocently, not noticing the grins. Chiharu, on the other hand, blushed and glared at them all.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL SMILING AT!???!!"

The rest of the gang turned away simultaneously.

"Nothing."
