Author's Notes: A few days ago, I was browsing for stories at FanFiction.Net when I stumbled upon Kaze's Falling In (read it, it's soooo good! a two-thumbs up!!). I was really surprised because Ami's personality there was very close to Ami in my story, though I can assure you that I didn't or wouldn't copy anything from anyone.
The reason why I made Ami's personality like that is because of the movie Ami-chan no Hatsu koi or Ami-chan's First Love, and that thing between her and Ryo Urawa during the first season. It seems that Ami has this tendency to fall for guys whom she sees as her rival. You see, developing a crush with your rival is pretty cute, ne? But, it only works in love stories, not in real life, because THAT would be a disaster. ^_^
I may sound a bit defensive, but hey, I'm just providing some explanations in case some of you were wondering. No harm in that, right?
And to Kaze (in case you're reading this), I read your post on Shitennou.com. You're right, they are very similar indeed. Though, I find it funny how my story turned out to be as similar as yours although I just read 'Falling In' last week. *sigh* Wish I could write like you do... Well anyway, good luck to us all!
And as for my wonderful readers... waaaaaa, don't hate me! Don't hate me!! *disappears into oblivion, cowering in fear*
Seriously speaking, sorry for ending the last chapter like that but... come on you guys, can't you appreciate a little cliffie once in a while? I mean, they make the story a bit more exciting, isn't it?
......
*sweatdrops* I guess not.
Anyway, I apologize for the delay since my schedule is fully loaded (imagine, going to work after school, tsk, tsk, tsk). Still, it is not an excuse for me not to write, right? Right!
Domo arigatou gozaimasu, by the way, for the wonderful reviews (how shocking they may be ^_^ ). Hearing from you people inspires me to write more so please keep those reviews coming! Thanks.
Chapter Five: Love at First Fight
"No way!" Makoto suddenly shrieked, surprising the other senshi.
Nephrite turned his gaze and smiled warmly at the brunette who just slept on his shoulder yesterday. "It's nice to see you again, ojo-san."
Usagi turned her gaze at Makoto, and then at the tall man beside her. "Hey, wait a minute here," she said, earning the two's attention. "You knew each other?"
"Stupid question, Usagi-chan," Rei muttered. "From the looks of it, it is very obvious that they know each other."
Slowly scratching her head, the blonde's eyes turned into small dots. "Oh."
Mamoru sighed hopelessly and walked closer to the group. Rei shot her a menacing look as soon as she noticed his presence.
"Mamoru-san," the miko bit out in a dangerous tone. "You've got some explaining to do."
The other senshi, sans Usagi, also gave him a dirty look.
Mamoru shook his head and chuckled. "Relax, Rei-chan," he said with a grin. "He's Akimatsu-kun, a friend of mine. He also studies medicine and we're classmates in most of our major subjects. My car broke down and he gave me a lift, and since he's here, I want to introduce him to all of you."
Usagi snorted. "So that's why you're extremely late."
"Well, I'm sorry."
Makoto cast a glance at the auburn-haired man as Mamoru began the introductions. Frowning, she realized that Minako is terribly right. How can a villain look this sinfully attractive? Most of all, how come she didn't recognize him earlier? And to think that she acted like a freaking idiot in front of him and even made him a pillow! Makoto shook her head vigorously, stopping herself from blushing. Pull yourself together, Mako-chan, the voice in her mind screamed. He's bad, he's evil, and he's dead!!
She forced herself to look the other way but it seems that her eyes were glued to his face. My old senpai is definitely nothing compared to him. She sighed dreamily. Hmmm, my kind of guy...
"And this is Kino Makoto, though I believe you've known each other," Mamoru said to Nephrite. "We all call her Mako-chan."
"Actually, we just met at the park yesterday and I haven't introduced myself to her," Nephrite replied.
Makoto felt a tugged at her sleeve and she immediately snapped back from her trance, her green eyes blinking at the longhaired blonde beside her. "N-nani?"
"Mako-chan," Minako whispered fiercely.
Meeting Nephrite's amused gaze, she felt herself blushing furiously. "I, uhm..."
She heard him chuckle.
"How do I fare?" Nephrite asked with a smile. "Did I pass your standards?"
Her friends giggled at his question.
Frowning to hide her embarrassment, Makoto turned sideways and lifted her chin defiantly. "I'm sorry but you have failed."
"I did?"
Makoto nodded.
"Oh."
Nephrite smiled, placing his hands on the pockets of his trousers. "Then I guess I have to work hard to pass your standards, ne?" And then he winked at her.
Makoto's heart lurched violently that if it weren't for her rib cage, her heart must have reached the next table. "By all means." Letting out a sigh of relief, she praised herself for not stammering.
He let out a throaty chuckle and smiled. "You'll give me a fair rating, then?"
"Of course."
Minako snickered softly. "I smell roma-ugh!"
"I heard that," Makoto said through clenched teeth after elbowing the blonde at the side.
"Nephrite-san, why don't you take a seat and join us?" Usagi offered cheerfully. "Mako-chan could buy you some ice cream." And then she cast a taunting look at Makoto's direction. The brunette glared daggers at her but she didn't mind a bit.
"Yes," Ami agreed. "So we can get to know each other better."
Smiling, Nephrite gently shook his head. "Thanks for your kind offer, ladies," he replied. "But I'm afraid I can't. I still have classes at the university, and in fact," at this, he glanced at his watch, "my next subject would be starting in about half an hour."
"Oh, that's bad," Minako said this time, batting her eyelashes. "Mako-chan would be reeaaally disappointed."
"Disappointed?" the brunette blurted out indignantly. "What the hell are you talking about? Why would I be disappointed?"
"I bet she will," he said with a grin. Then he turned at Mamoru. "Thanks for introducing me to these young ladies, Chiba-kun."
"Hey, no prob," Mamoru replied, smiling. "Thanks for the ride, by the way."
"Well ladies, nice meeting you all," Nephrite said, smiling charmingly. "Hope to see all of you again soon." Then, his gaze lingered for a moment at the tall brunette. He gave her a curt nod before stalking off.
"I'll walk you out," Mamoru said.
"No need, Chiba-kun," he said behind his back, waving his hand. "I'll just find my way out."
Just like what she did the day before, Makoto followed his retreating form until he was gone. She cleared her throat and was suddenly taken aback by her friends' intent gazes. "What?" she asked annoyingly.
"I can't believe your flirting with him in broad daylight!" Rei amusedly said. And then she stared at her knowingly. "Are you going to convince us now that he's not evil, like what Minako-chan did?"
Makoto frowned. "Cut if out guys, this isn't funny."
"Mako-chan is blushing!" Minako taunted in a high-pitched voice. "I'm wondering why..."
"Then, I guess I have to work hard to pass your standards, ne?" Usagi mimicked, her voice a few octaves lower than normal, and then giggled helplessly.
The brunette rolled her eyes and crossed her arms on her chest. "I can't believe you're ganging up on me," she grumbled moodily.
"Welcome to the club, Mako-chan," Rei teased, tapping her shoulder. "Tell us what it feels like being caught staring dreamily at someone?"
And the three hooted with hilarity.
"Stop it already!" she exclaimed exasperatedly, her brows twitching. "Or else, I'm going to leave!"
The three continued to laugh and just ignored her.
"Did you hear the music, ne Mako-chan?" Ami suddenly asked with a teasing smile.
"Ami-chan!" she admonished surprisingly. "Don't tell me you're siding up with them?!"
The blue-haired genius just giggled softly.
Makoto then stared at Mamoru, her eyes turning into slits. "Are you going to make fun of me, too?"
He just smiled tauntingly at her and said nothing.

"Please come and see our play, Hino-sama ."
"The whole cast would be glad if they saw you there."
Rei smiled at the two younger students before her. "Actually, I have lots of things to do but... I'll try."
The two beamed. "Really? We'll look forward to that!" they exclaimed in unison, making her laugh softly.
After saying their goodbyes, the two bowed and left.
"Those girls really have the highest respect for you, Rei-san," Sarashina Kotono, who was standing beside her, commented with a sigh.
"I admit it is a bit flattering," she said with a smile, and then they started walking towards the school's exit. "By the way, the student council meeting today was quite in a ruckus. I don't like it. They were all disorganized."
"I agree," Kotono replied. "You should have intervened. Most of the officers listen to you than to the chairman."
Rei shook her head. "That is not necessary. Besides, I don't want them to lose their respect for Takeda-senpai even though she doesn't deserve it."
The other girl chuckled. "You really have this way of speaking your mind out, and I admire you for that."
"I'm just telling the truth," she said unemotionally. "Whenever she comes to meetings, which she rarely does, she always asks the people if she looks good or if her hair was in disarray or something. It is really a shame to the junior classmen. Sometimes, I do wonder how she won the chairmanship of the student council."
"There's a rumor circulating around the council's office that she would be leaving her post soon," Kotono said.
Rei momentarily shifted her gaze at her. "Really? This early?"
"Yes. Probably so that she could prepare for the college entrance test," she replied, shrugging her shoulders. "And as Vice-chairman of the council, you are to succeed her."
"That's a pity," Rei said with a wry chuckle. "Because I have no plans of becoming the council's chairman. The only reason why I run for vice-chairman is because Sr. Akane convinced me to. I'm allergic to politics, actually."
"It's in the blood, Rei-san," Kotono teased. "You can't deny the fact that your father is a great politician and you must have inherited his good leadership abilities."
Rei frowned at the mention of her father. "That's enough, Kotono-san," she said in a quite odd voice. "I'm not even proud of it."
"Gomen ne, Rei-san," the other girl hastily apologized. "I didn't mean to be so blunt."
She smiled. "It's alri--"
But before Rei could finish her words, her face smacked on someone's hard chest and fell flat on her behind. Gasping, Kotono immediately helped her up.
"Hey, what's your problem?" Rei asked with annoyance as she straightened her uniform. She bent over to brush the dust that clinged to her skirt away. "Don't you know where your eyes are for?"
"Maybe it's you who doesn't know where your eyes are for," replied the voice amusedly that belonged to the person that Rei bumped into.
Rei straightened up and opened her mouth to give that person a piece of her mind but unknowingly closed them back. A dark scowl registered on her face as soon as she saw the tousled blonde hair, the mocking blue eyes... and Juuban High's navy blue uniform.
"Great," she muttered with sarcasm. "Just great."
"Konnichiwa, Rei-chan," Jadeite said nonchalantly as he slowly picked his bag up from the ground. "You're as beautiful as ever." He then flashed a mocking grin at the miko's direction that made her even more furious.
"Rei... chan?" Kotono repeated with disbelief. Then a smile gradually formed at the corner of her lips.
"And you're as horrible as ever," Rei retorted.
Jadeite just chuckled at her response and said nothing. Then, he cast a glance at the girl beside Rei. "My, what do we have here? A beautiful maiden whose smile could light up the entire galaxy. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name, fair lady?"
Kotono blushed to the roots of her hair, obviously not accustomed with the advances of the opposite sex since they study in a conservative all girls' school.
"Spare us your theatrics, senpai," the miko cut in, emphasizing the last word. "You haven't even apologized to me yet."
"That," he said with a smirk, "is what I'll do later." He then took a step towards them and stared at Kotono in the eyes. "But first, let me introduce myself. I'm Akimatsu Jadeite, 18 years old and very much available. Now, may I know your name, ojo-san?"
Rei snorted, rolling her eyes.
Kotono smiled meekly and blushed. "I-i'm Sarashina Kotono. Nice to meet you, Akimatsu-senpai."
Jadeite smiled his heart-melting smile and nodded courtly.
Fowning, Rei flipped her hair and sighed impatiently. Look at that jerk! His head must be probably the size of a float. Talk about monumental ego...
"And since I'm a true gentleman," Jadeite then said, turning to her. "I apologize for bumping into you although it is not my fault that you have a faulty vision." At this, he chuckled dryly.
"Nani?!!?" Rei exclaimed exasperatedly. He just grinned at her again, showing her his perfect set of white teeth. She clenched her fists on her side, a vein popping on her head. "Why you--"
"Jadeite-kun!"
The three slowly whirled around at the sound of the newcomer's voice.
"Takeda-senpai?" Kotono muttered with mixed surprise, annoyance, and disappointment. Rei just merely raised a dark brow and glanced at the student council's chairman.
Takeda Mitsuki, a stunning brunette with amber eyes and a very attractive body, beamed charmingly and clinged at Jadeite like a shellfish. "Sorry. Did you wait that long?"
Rei shuddered. What a great couple they make. They are truly perfect for each other...
"Nope," he replied, grinning from ear to ear. "I just got here myself."
Takeda sighed lovingly, her eyes shining with admiration. "Yokatta ne."
The miko rolled her eyes. Oh boy, I think I'm gonna throw up.
The newcomer then cast a glance at the raven-haired miko, a devious smile creeping slowly on her lips, as if telling Rei to back off because Jadeite is her property. "Hino-san, I would like you to meet..."
"Oh don't bother, Takeda-san," Rei interrupted. "We've already known each other." Then, it was her turn to smile. "Unfortunately, that is."
Wryly, Jadeite's lips twisted into a smile though he said nothing.
"I see," he just simply said.
Rei linked her arm with that of Kotono's, startling the girl in the process. "Well, Takeda-san, please excuse us." She then turned at Jadeite. "Senpai," she said, bowing and then giving him a mocking smile.
Kotono just merely smiled politely and let herself be dragged by the raven-haired girl.
Furrowing his brows, Jadeite watched as the two girls made their exit towards the sidewalks. "What's with her?" he muttered with a slight annoyance, still staring at Rei's retreating back.
"Oh don't mind Hino-san," Takeda said, waving her hand. "She's always like that. Snobby and always have this air of superiority around her. She probably thinks she's better than everybody else since she's Representative Hino's daughter." She rolled her eyes and sneered.
Jadeite turned to her and chuckled dryly. "It seems that you don't like her at all."
"As a matter of fact, I don't," the brunette replied. "The only reason I put up with her is because she's my vice chairman and we have to work together."
The two proceeded to walk down the street.
Takeda went on with her tirade. "I still don't get it, though, why the boys in Moto Azabu are practically drooling over her."
Not to mention those fools at Juuban High, too. Jadeite snorted.
"She's just plain-looking," the brunnete said exasperatedly. "Why, I look better than her, anyway!"
He shook his head and clucked his tongue disapprovingly. Women and their vanity...
"So," Takeda tugged his sleeve, bringing him back from his reverie. "What do you think of her?"
Jadeite stared at the brunette with disbelief in his blue eyes. "Excuse me?"
"How do you find her?"
He pursed his lips with annoyance though he hid it well. "Why are you asking me this?"
"I just need to know."
He chuckled wryly and shook his head. "To tell you the truth, I..." ... find her interesting... Jadeite hastily cleared his throat and smiled. "She's not my type."
"Honto?"
"Uh-huh," he replied with a brief nod. "She's too... difficult."
The brunette squealed and dragged him joyfully. "Come on, let's go somewhere private."
Jadeite just sighed and complied unwillingly.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the street, Rei and Kotono are walking towards the nearest bookstore.
"So much for being available..." Kotono sighed with disappointment.
"That jerk really has a good taste," Rei, smirking, said with sarcasm. "I didn't know that the likes of Takeda-san were his type. Maybe this reborn thing dislocated some gears on his brain, though I have every doubt in the world that he has one."
The other girl slowly turned to her. "Reborn?"
Rei gulped audibly and stopped. "Uhm, er, it's nothing," she replied sheepishly. "Come on, Kotono-san. Let's go faster." And then she started walking. "I have to go find a replacement for that stupid manga because I accidentally spilt some chocolate on Usa-chan's collections."
Upon reaching the bookstore, the two girls went inside and Rei immediately started to look for the manga.
"Did you see how Takeda-san clinged to Jadeite-senpai?" Kotono asked with a playful smile.
"Yeah," the miko replied as she rummaged through the array of mangas and comics on the shelf. "As if she's stuck with a super glue or something."
Kotono giggled. "And, she wouldn't probably even introduce him to you if not for good manners."
"True. She stared at me as if I'm going to snatch her boyfriend away from her!" she agreed with dry amusement.
"Takeda-san knows a threat when she sees one."
Rei paused briefly to stare at her classmate. "Flattery won't get you anywhere, Kotono-san," she said. She then turned her attention back at the stack of Manga. "He's not even my type! In fact, I don't like boys. They are extremely stupid."
"Are we?"
Kotono eeked and jumped back after hearing something that resembled Jadeite's voice. Slowly turning to her left, the sight of him confirmed her speculations. The blonde guy placed his index finger on his pursed lips, motioning her to keep quiet.
Rei whirled suddenly around, startling him. "Oh indeed, senpai," she said with a sly smile. "You probably think I didn't notice you back there, did you?"
Jadeite grinned sheepishly. "Oh hi, Rei-chan. Didn't see you there."
She slowly pulled the manga from the stack and tucked it in her arm. "Where's Takeda-senpai? She's with you, wasn't she?"
"She left me after I accidentally told her that arguing with you is much amusing than listen to her rant and rave," he replied, shrugging his shoulders.
Rei raised a brow. "Is that an insult?"
"It depends on how you take it." Then he grinned at her.
"I'll take that as a compliment, then," she muttered dryly.
Kotono giggled softly but abruptly stopped when Rei blankly stared at her. "Gomen," she whispered, but then again, she kept on giggling.
Rei proceeded to the counter to pay for the item, with Kotono and Jadeite trailing behind her. Noticing that the other girl didn't buy anything for herself, she turned to her and said, "I thought you're going to buy something, too?"
She smiled and shook her head. "I've changed my mind."
"Oh okay," she said, nodding. "Let's go." Then they exited the establishment.
Kotono turned to her and smiled as soon as they were outside. "Well, see you tomorrow, Rei-san," she said.
Rei smiled in return. "Thanks and take care."
Kotono nodded. Turning to Jadeite, she said, "Nice meeting you, senpai."
Jadeite chuckled. "The pleasures all mine."
The girl waved her hand and left, leaving the two behind.
Rei started walking, but stopped abruptly after noticing that Jadeite is following her. She turned to him and frowned.
"What's your problem?" she snapped. "Why are you following me?"
"Following you?" he repeated in a mocking tone. "You must be crazy for thinking that I'm following you." Then he sauntered past her. "I didn't know that a snobby little girl like you read something like this." He raised something in his right hand and shook it.
Rei gasped and immediately glanced at her hand to look for the manga. And she's right, her eyes were not deceiving her. The stuck up jerk in front of her have already got it.
"Hey, give it back!"
Jadeite read the title. "The Adventures of the Pink Little Mouse." And then he turned at her and laughed. "What kind of story is this?"
"Why don't you read it and find out for yourself?" she retorted sarcastically. Rei snatched the manga back from him and placed it inside her bag.
"How could I?" he said, chuckling amusedly. "You've already took it."
Rei pushed him aside and marched briskly, still hearing his mocking laugh. Stopping at the nearby bus stop, the miko clenched her fist and gritted her teeth. Somebody's gonna pay for this humiliation tomorrow...
The next day...
"You owe me a strawberry cake, odango atama," Rei said balefully as she, together with the other inner senshi, strolled in the corridors of Juuban High.
"Hey, it's not my fault that Jadeite-senpai has this sick sense of humor," Usagi shot back indignantly. "If you didn't ruin my manga, you wouldn't have to replace it in the first place. And why did you have to show it to him, anyway?"
"I didn't show it to him," she bit out. "He took it from me, got it?"
"Yeah, whatever."
"By the way, Rei-chan," Ami asked. "How did your date with him go?"
Rei hastily stopped and turned to the blue-haired girl. "Excuse me?"
"Your date with him," Makoto repeated for the her. "How did it go?"
She stared incredulously at them. "What the heck are you talking about? I didn't go out with him."
"Well, that's what he said," Minako said, shrugging her shoulders.
Rei glowered, gritting her teeth. "That jerk..."
Not far from where they stood, something suddenly caught the miko's attention. "What's that?" she asked, pointing at a big bulletin board.
"It is a sort of a freedom board where you can write anything," Ami replied. "Your grievances, love notes, anything! Although, writing bad words are not allowed."
"Oh," Rei muttered and she slowly walked towards it, momentarily forgetting the thing about the blond guy. Her friends followed suit.
"It was Zoisite-kun's idea," Usagi said as they stood in front of it. "Isn't it great?" Then she turned meaningfully at Ami. The blue haired girl just looked somewhere else.
Rei scanned the notes and all sorts of graffiti, and laughed. "Tsukino Usagi, can you teach me how you fix your hair?" she read. She turned at the odango blonde, who was scowling, and snickered. "Hey, this is really funny. I hope we'll have something like this at TA, too."
"Get a load of this, Rei-chan," the brunette called out. "Wanted: Boyfriend. Anyone who's interested, look for Aino Minako of class 2-1."
"A little desperate, aren't we?" the miko said tauntingly at Minako.
The longhaired blonde rolled her eyes. "Mako-chan wrote that, not me."
Makoto grinned. "Hey, I'm just helping."
Rei resumed reading. "I love you Kino Makoto, signed MK." Furrowing her brows, she turned at her friends. "Who's this MK?"
The four all shrugged their shoulders.
"There are lots of students with initials like that," Minako provided. Then she grinned. "Just take a look at what Mako-chan had said."
To MK, Shut the hell up or I'm gonna kick your butt! Kino Makoto
Rei burst out laughing. "It's Mako-chan alright."
The brunette snorted. "If I find who wrote that blasphemy, I'm going to kick his butt so hard he'll gonna kiss the moon and the stars. Not to mention all the moons in Jupiter, too," she said.
Ami giggled. "That's only half of it," Ami chimed in. "The following day, Mako-chan found a note in her locker saying she could kick his butt anytime."
Rei turned at the brunette. "Why don't you ask him out? Maybe you'll like each other." The brunette just stuck out her tongue in response. She glanced back at the board. "Hey, how come there's no message for Ami-chan?"
"Acutally," Usagi butted in. "Ami-chan got lots of them but she erased all of it since she arrive here early."
"Oh."
Rei let her eyes wander more at the messages and stopped. "What the..."
Jadeite-sama, please ask me out. And then, there's this one: Jadeite-senpai is really cute. And then: Support the Akimatsu Jadeite's Fans Club. Rei grimaced, refusing to look at the other messages. "I can't believe this."
"Jadeite-senpai is really popular among the girls," Ami said. "You don't know how much trouble we get everytime he talks to us."
"Yeah," Minako agreed. "If eyes could kill, all of us are probably dead by now."
"Minako-chan, it's 'If looks could kill,' not 'eyes'," Makoto corrected.
"They're pretty much the same to me," the blonde replied nonchalantly.
The miko smiled, an idea crossing her mind. "Can I write, too?" she asked, turning to them.
"Of course," Ami replied. "It's a freedom board, remember? Everybody could write."
Rei's grin grew wider as she borrowed Minako's black marker. She bent over and poised the tip of the pen on the board. She paused for a while before scribbling her message.
Her friends looked on.
Rei returned the marker back at the blonde as the four stood stupefied on the spot.
"Now, that's what I call a real message," she said, admiring her handiwork.
Her friends stared at her for a moment then glanced at what she wrote. "Jadeite is a jerk who pisses on his pyjamas every morning," they all read in unison.
"Oh, I forgot something," Rei muttered and quickly snatched the marker back from Minako. With a scholarly scrawl, she wrote 'Hino' in kanji. "There."
"You don't know what you're doing, Rei-chan," Minako mumbled anxiously.
"Of course I know what I'm doing," she said with a sly smile. "Well, come on guys. No need to stay here further." With that, she slowly strolled towards the school's exit.
Usagi snickered. "Rei-chan is as sick as Senpai, if you ask me."
"Yeah," Makoto agreed, nodding slowly. "My thoughts exactly." .

Jadeite whistled to himself, carrying his lunch, as he walk towards the back of the school where he usually eat. Every now and then, he flashes his dazzling smile to all of the girls that he come across to, making his popularity grow even higher.
Noticing that there were so many people in front of the freedom board again, he chuckled. "Zoisite's idea was really a hit. Why, I wouldn't be able to think of that in a million years!" He continued to walk, grinning stupidly. "But I still wonder, how come he's not writing anything?"
"If Akimatsu ever read that message for him, he'll probably explode." A snicker.
Jadeite stopped at the sound of voices not far from him. He slowly turned his head and saw two of his classmates talking.
"Yeah," the other one agreed. "It's quite shocking. Nobody have attempted to write something like that before." Then the two started walking away.
Furrowing his brows, he changed his course and headed for the freedom board instead. And just as the Red Sea parted for Moses, the mass of students flocking the board automatically splitted, allowing him to get closer.
"Hidoi!"
"That's so mean!"
"Whoever wrote that should be hanged!"
Jadeite smiled amusedly at the comments he heard. Obviously, those girls are trying to sympathized with him. He chuckled. That message must be really terrible, he thought to himself.
At last, he's finally in front at the board. Everybody went quiet as he read the infamous message.
To everybody's surprise, Jadeite burst out laughing, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably from mirth. "Whoever wrote this must really have a unique sense of humor," he managed to choke out in between laughs.
"You're not mad, senpai?" a girl, then, asked, obviously a member of his fan's club.
He stopped laughing and turned at the girl. "Of course not. This is really funny."
Majority of the girls sighed with disappointment. If they knew that this is the only way they could catch his attention, they have probably done it long ago.
Jadeite read the message once again, still smiling unbelievably. His smile grew wider as soon as he saw the kanji at the end of the message. "So, she was here." Then, he turned at the people behind him. "Does any of you have some marker that I could borrow?"
A handful of pens and markers were given to him in response. Mumbling his thanks, he took one of them and crouched to write his message. Smiling to himself, he started to write exactly the first idea that came to his mind...

A/N extras:
Hope you enjoyed it. By the way, Sarashina Kotono is also property of Naoko Takeuchi. If you had read the manga, the Black Moon Fmily Arc, she's the girl with silver hair. She's really cute, like a female version of Kunzite, hehee.
Well, goodbye for now. Till next time. Next chapter's about Minako!
