The next day morning, they went to the elementary part as schedule. "Hi Ichigo, how are you today?"
"Fine, I can't wait for today, Hikaru-nechan."
"Why don't you call me Hikaru instead…?"
"Why…"
"Never mind…"As they were heading toward the piano, they meet up with Anna and Aiko.
"Hi Anna and Aiko, how are you?" Hikaru asked. Ichigo went hiding in her Hikaru's back, while Anna and Aiko were turning around.
"Hi to you, Hikaru-chan…and that must be Ichigo…" Anna bows down to say hi.
"Hi Ichigo…hi Hikaru-nechan…" Aiko said happily.
Anna corrected her, "No, no, no…Aiko…it's Hikaru-nichan…not nechan…"Aiko look confused so Anna explain, "when you see a girl that is a few years older than you then you will call them ne-chan…when you see a boy that is a few years older than you then you call them ni-chan…"
Aiko look at Anna for almost a minute or so then said, "But…Hikaru-nechan is a girl…at that picnic, I went to…she said she was a girl, who wears a puffy jacket, underneath was her ten-top and 'you known what'…"
"What the 'you know what'…" Anna asked curiously.
"Her undie…" Aiko sound so innocent.
While Hikaru was blushing beat red and give out a fake simile, "Aiko…do you need to tell her that…"
"Well, that's what you said…" Aiko look at her with those innocent eyes that no one can say no.
"Are…you…really…a…" Anna Asked."
"Yes!" Hikaru bark loudly.
"Are you angry, ne-chan…?" Ichigo ask frighten.
Hikaru take a deep breathe and try to clam her self down. She start, "No…I was…just embraced…and Ichi…try to forget the part where Aiko talks about me in that puffy jacket and beyond, Okay…" Ichigo nodded.
Anna asks Hikaru, "Why would you ever say that?"
"Oh…it's nothing at all…he…he…" Hikaru try to get out of this topic. Then Hikaru pulled Ichigo toward the piano.
After school…
"Chibi Usa, I…"Anna sneak up to her.
"Yes, Anna…" She turns her head.
"I have something to tell you…" Anna pulled Chibi Usa out of the cafeteria and into the bathroom.
"What's so secret about it, that you have to tell me in the bathroom…?" Chibi Usa joke happily about.
Anna looks around to check nobody is in anyone is in the bathroom. "Do you…about Hikaru-chan…"
"What…!" Chibi Usa bark and it scared the heck out of Anna. "Sorry…"
"I want to tell you about Hikaru are a…girl." Anna closed her eyes.
"So…what with that…?" Chibi Usa give her the 'so what' smirk.
Anna inhale and blew the words out, "Akari have a…tinny…tiny feeling for the 'boy'…Hikaru…"
"Yea…"Chibi Usa pause then turn to the closed eye Anna and lay her hand on Anna's shoulder while Anna open her eyes slowly.
"What…!" Her voice was shack the ground. A moment later Chibi Usa started to shack Anna hard that made her bobble back and froth.
"I…said…Akari…like…Hikaru…" Anna was still wabbling and bobbling around the place. As on their way out of the bathroom, they meet Akari walking by.
So Chibi Usa pull her inside the bathroom. "Akari…I know that you like Hikaru…" Chibi Usa said.
Akari pause then redden, then all the sudden she saw Anna was bobbling around the place and marked her, "Anna…you told didn't you…!" She was quite upset but a little angrily. "I told her not to tell, but really…I really like him…"
Anna stop wabbling and join them. "But…" Anna frowned.
"Don't tell me that you like him too…"
"But…we know that Hikaru is new and all…but do you know how many boys like you, Akari-chan…they might do bad things to him…" Chibi Usa wick an eye to Anna, to continue on the sentence, "Uhm…yeah…And don't…you forget he is quiet popular…" Anna gives them a fake simile. Chibi Usa tries not to stair at Akari's eyes because it made her guilty. So she looks at her watch. "Oh…look at the time," She fake simile, "we should have gone to lunch tight now…"
Anna continued on with her, "Yeah, we should, so let's go…oh wait…I need to go to bathroom and so does Chibi Usa, right?" She beamed at her hard like a pin stab into a insects.
"Uhm…yeah…so go on now…we'll catch up…by the way…save me dessert."
"Okay…" Akari are leaving but still looking back at them.
They both relax when she went out. They sigh heavily and with those 'ohmigod I don't want to do this' face on it. "Chibi Usa Chiba, how can you…!" Anna said, while her face frowns.
"What…what was I suppose to do…just go break her heart." Chibi Usa answers her worries.
"What's next…? Chibi Usa, I'm bad at lying…"
"Don't worry as long as you stick with me and think twice before speaking…Okay?" Chibi Usa point at her and said.
"Okay…" Anna nodded and obeys.
"Okay…let's go to lunch…we haven't ate yet."
"How could you still think of food at the time like this…!" Anna cried but not anyone could notice.
"I can't think without food and right now…I'm hungry…" Chibi Usa put two hand join Anna's shoulder to comfort. "We will think later…let's go to lunch…"
As Chibi Usa and Anna went out of the restroom, Rika walk out of the toilet. She looks shock as ever and kind of still like a stone. Her brain was summing with though, what…just happen…Akari like Hikaru and Hikaru is a girl…Chibi Usa and Anna is telling a lie...uhm...I should help them out..." So she storm out of the restroom and into the cafeteria she go, knocking everyone in her way.
At lunch, Hikaru was seated at the end next to her was, Akari, talking to her which she never listen until she finish with her food. Right next to Akari was Rumiko, trying listen to anything of Akari so she could gossip about it. Across from them was Chibi Usa in the end, and Anna, then Rika.
After lunch when they were walking out, Rika walk Behind Anna and Chibi Usa, listening to their words. Then sneak up to them and whisper, "I know the secrets…" Anna and Chibi Usa look back at her, follow by looking around, while Rika was chain by Chibi Usa. Then dash to the place behind a big tree.
Chibi Usa starts by asking, "What have you know…?"
Rika lean and relax against the tree while talk. "Hum…I know Akari like Hikaru…Hikaru is a girl…you two is liars…"
"Okay, she knew everything…"Chibi Usa went to conclusion. With her face frown, Chibi Usa sigh heavily and that would make other around her frown too.
Again Anna's 'worry' face shown. "But…" She continued, "How did you know?"
Rika simply answer, "The last toilet in the restroom…"
Anna covered her head with her hand and sigh, "I should've checked…"
"Don't worry…I'm here to help…" Rika said.
Chibi Usa smirk, "What can you offer?"
"First, Chibi Usa, you have to think twice before you talk and Anna, you should try acting it would help more with your plans…"
"How about you…?" Chibi Usa looked at her with innocent eyes. "What are you going to do?"
"Since no one actually knew about my appearance…so I could just pretend nothing ever happen …and by the way I would be looking over you two…"
After school, when everyone finish packing their bags. Hikaru went to the archer club for the try out. In the back, Chibi Usa, Anna, and Rika follow Hikaru like a shadow and creep faster when Hikaru walks. Anyway they don't actually know why they are following her too. When Hikaru turn and check who or what was behind her, Chibi Usa and the other two hide to the nearest item of them when Hikaru turn her were often when she almost approach the archer club. Eventually Hikaru spotted Chibi Usa because she was the most special looking; she have pink hair and pink is very showing.
"Can you all come out now?" Hikaru turn her body fully around and stare at the pink stuff. They walk slowly out of their hiding place.
"Hikaru-chan…" Chibi Usa said weakly and sound kind of scared.
"What do you want?" Hikaru beam at them from the beginning they come out.
"We were just…" Rika carry off. But unfortunately, Anna burst it told out loud, "Akari like you…" Hikaru look so dump and have no idea what have happen, "but she don't know you're girl…" Chibi Usa and Rika narrow face Anna with their eyes nail to her.
"What's with that…?" Hikaru ask innocently and carelessly.
Chibi Usa look frown and sigh, we need your help…to…"
Hikaru raise an eye brow. "You mean you want me to tell Akari-chan that I'm a girl…?" the three of them nodded quickly. "Umm…I have a weak point…"Everyone looked at her nervously, "I'm bad at confession or tell or describing thing as you can see right now…" Those three automatically fell like their soul have been taken or something.
"What kind of thing is that…!" Chibi Usa shouted at her.
Anna and Rika both turn their body around and with blue wriggly line hand above them. Rika move slowly, "I though you would help…?" She sounded like weeping for mercy.
"Fine…I'll try to help…but if I can't work this out…..don't blame me…" All the sudden they return to their usual 'all happy' face toward Hikaru.
Chibi Usa chain Hikaru, "Yay…now let's go to the archer club before its too late…"
"Ain't archery boring…I mean there not much people like it…?" Rika wander and think it kind of dead too. (Not to mention, superb traditional…superb old…superb yuck…!)
"That's the whole point of this thing…its superb boring….and no body never care or anything…"
"Oh!" Those three said.
"Oo…I wanna join too then…" Chibi Usa suggested and that make the other two want to join too.
Hikaru look at Chibi Usa, "I don't think that a good idea for you…"
"Why…?" She whined which everyone is disgusted to hear.
"Why…" she said in an innocent way, "Your brother's in there along with that Tora dude that make you ran for your life when you see him…" Hikaru sound so harsh; it sounded more like yell instead of saying.
"OHMIGOD! Tora is there…then I'm so in…now let's go…" Rika chain the two and drag them like some dude with a flags. In the archery area, Rika was so excited and all that, "Is anyone there….?"
"Hey, it's you…" Tora look at surprise.
Hikaru start to him; the main reason is that. "I ain't 'Hey', 'Hey'"
Then Ken walk out from nowhere, "I though we agree that…"
She smirked. "I said I won't bug you…but that doesn't mean that I couldn't have friends visiting me…" Then she continued, "And beside, Chiba, one of them is your lito sister…"
Ken looked around to sreach the familiar face, "Where …"
"In the back of the two girls…" Hikaru whispers next to Ken's ears.
"What are you doing here…!" Ken narrow his eyes on her.
"I wanna join too…" Chibi Usa try to be more innocent on the face.
"No way…" Ken said harshly.
Tora pulled him back, "It would be safer to keep an eye on her in here…you know…"
His eyes glance at Hikaru then back.
"Do you know the word 'dangerous' mean...? It means letting my sister join the archery and letting her, the pink headed her, kill us…!"
Tora then think and said, "Good point…"
"I'm not that dangerous…I think…?" Chibi Usa whined loudly. "Then I could be an equipment manger…"
"Yeah, me too…I would keep an eye on Chibi here…so she won't get you all killed…" Rika said happily but was thinking, "and the other eye for Tora-kun."
Ken and Tora said, "Deal…and how 'bout you…" They were looking at Anna annoyingly.
Anna just said, "I don't have time for archery…so yea…"
"Yo, what 'sup…" A voice come from the back but froze half way when coming in the door.
"Haiyaku, my man…." Tora pertend everything is okay.
Haiyaku started slowly and unpleasant, "what the hell is going on in here…"
"ahum…"
"One more time…WHAT THE FREAKEN HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE…!" Big loud speaker Haiyaku was very piss at them.
Hikaru cross her arms and get piss because no body could tell at her like this except her parents. "HEY!" She yelled back. "What's with that attitude of yours…?"
Ken then told Haiyaku about the deal they have but Haiyaku just said, "Sorry kid…this is for advance so either prove yourself or go to the elementary side of the archery club…"
"May I barrow and an arrow please…." Hikaru ask them politely.
Tora went and get the equipments while Ken cover his head and feel its burning. When Hikaru ready to shoot, everyone was gasp. She curl-up a smile and target her aim; and she shoot. She scored! Right in the middle of the red spot. Ken and Tora was stunted when they saw where the arrow is.
"So I'm in, right?" Hikaru said happily.
"Yeah…you're in…" Haiyaku, who wanted to slam his head into the wall, announce. Ken was relief, also felt horrified because about her sister in the same club as him.
