A joker can be fine at times, but not when it comes to love…

"Sengoku-senpai!" a flock of girls, called, running towards Kiyosumi.

Kiyosumi turned to them, with his million dollar smile.

The girls squealed, their face the shade of different kinds of crimson (me: Some lighter shade of crimson, some as in super dark… Jeez, that's not very good for your skin…).

"Ohayo gozaimasu, minna-chan's," Kiyosumi said, gently, but loud enough for the whole flock of them to hear.

Name: Sengoku Kiyosumi

Age: 15

School: Yamabuki

Tennis club rank: Regular/ Vice captain

School Rank: School Heartthrob

"I enjoy life," Kiyosumi said to his friends, as he ate his lunch.

"What do you expect! You're the school heartthrob!" Kiyosumi's other friend, Kira said.

"Kira-chan… how I'm flattered with your words, though you could say them a bit nicer, maybe I'll finally date you," Kiyosumi said, with a smirk.

"URUSAI! Why would a girl like me go out with a play boy like you!" Akin squealed, appalled.

"Kira-chan, Kira-chan… how you love me so much," Kiyosumi said, jokingly.

"Urusai, Sengoku! I might throw up my food!" Kira said, taking her seat back.

"Ne, Sengoku, should I remind you about practice again, or would you rather end up late, as usual?" Kiyosumi's other friend, Kentarou Minami, his tennis Buchou.

"Ah, don't mind, don't mind (me: he's using Kikumaru's words for some reason…)! I promise I'll be early this time! Anyways."

"Sengoku-senpai! Sengoku-senpai!" Dan Taichi yelled, running towards Kiyosumi.

"Nande, Dan?" Kiyosumi asked, nicely.

"Ano, I need help with."

"Tying your shoes? No problem! Ne, gomen Kentarou, but this might take a while. I don't think I can make it in time for practice… I know! I'll leave now so maybe I'll make it in time for practice! Yeah, that's a good idea, but I won't keep any promises! Ja na!" Kiyosumi said with a wide smile, as he pushed Dan out the cafeteria.

Kira and Kentarou just watched Kiyosumi and Dan leave the cafeteria, blankly.

"He's going out with a girl after," Kentarou said, taking a scoop out of his pudding.

"Yup," Kira said, not bothering to look back at Kiyosumi

Meanwhile, Kiyosumi and Dan, "Wooh! Glad I got out of there! Ne, domo, for your help, Dan. Now, what is it you need?" Kiyosumi asked, his smile not leaving his face.

"Well desu… Banda-sensei told me he needed to see you desu. Is something wrong desu?" Dan asked, in his cute, sweet little self (me: Gomen, demo you've got to admit, he is so cute!).

Kiyosumi's smile left, and sighed.

"Ah! Gomen desu! I shouldn't have asked desu! It's your business after all! Senumase, senumase!" Dan said, bowing.

"Ah? Iie! Daijobu, daijobu, Dan-san. I'm just thinking if I did do anything," Kiyosumi said, his smile returning.

"Ah, I see desu. Well… Gambate kurasai desu," Dan said, with a smile.

"Aa, now you… don't show yourself to Kira-senpai and Kentarou-senpai until practice, ne?" Kiyosumi said, with a smile.

"Hai desu," Dan said, leaving, but not before giving a bow to Kiyosumi.

'Sweet kid,' Sengoku thought as he walked through the halls.

-Pause!-

Sengoku: Ne, what are you pausing for!

Amy-chan: Nandemonai, I just want to do this to make the story longer.

Sengoku: Nande!

Dan: Please do not shout Sengoku-senpai desu.

Amy-chan: Awe! Kawaii no Dan-kun!

Dan: blushes Arigato Amy-chan

Sengoku: What are you doing! He's only a first year!

Amy-chan: Yeah, so what? I'm a first year too… well… going to be…

Dan: What grade are you in desu?

Amy-chan: 6th grade :D

Dan: Hoe! I'm your senpai desu!

Amy-chan: Aa! Can I call you Dan-kun-senpai?

Dan: Ano… Dan-kun is fine desu blushes

Sengoku: Will you stop that! In your other story, PoL, you were a junior, when you were supposed to be a freshman… what? Are you going to make Echizen take a pep test in order to get accelerated! And another thing… you have Fuji!

Amy-chan: Gasp Ohmigosh! Nobody was supposed to know that yet! How did you know!

Sengoku: ….We are not getting anywhere here…

Dan: Hai desu…

Amy-chan: Hmm… I guess your right, demo… since you're so mean Sengoku-san, I'll make this story longer than ever… well… maybe a couple of pages until we reach the romance part.

Sengoku: Nani! I won't have any romance for a while! Gomeansai! I didn't mean to anger you! Please be a nice little 6th grader and write as fast as you can nervous smile

Amy-chan: laughs

Dan: We should continue the story desu.

Amy-chan: Oh right! Gomenasai mina! Here we go!

-Unpause!-

Anyways… where were we? …Oh yeah!

Kiyosumi was walking through the halls, heading to Banda-sensei's office.

He knocked on the door which had a sign that said, "Mikiya Banda."

"Banda-sensei. It's me, Kiyosumi. Moshi moshi."

His words were cut for a coat hanger suddenly fell in front of him. Luckily, it didn't hit his face.

"Ah… Lucky," he said, in his usual tone.

"Ah, Sengoku, come in, come in," Banda-sensei said, welcoming him in with a smile.

"A-Aa…" Kiyosumi said, wondering if he's bad luck or something.

"Did you need me for something?" Kiyosumi asked, politely (me: He respects his elders no matter what bad trait they may have :D).

"Ah, I wanted to ask you a favor," Banda-sensei said, while holding his coffee.

"Nani?"

"… I need you to help out with the girls tennis club, so."

"Oh sensei, you don't need to ask me twice! I'll do it right away! Ja."

"Matte! Chotte matte, Sengoku! I'm only holding you as temporary assistant, okay? Kira-chan, will get mad at me if I put you as one for long," Banda-sensei said, scratching his head.

Kiyosumi got out of his dream world and turned to Banda-sensei.

"Kira-chan!"

"Hai. She is the captain of the girls tennis club… I wouldn't mess with her if I were you, though you two 'are' pretty compatible… but I can never imagine Kira-chan being interested in you, so I guess."

"Ne, ne, Banda-sensei… are you picking a fight with me?" Kiyosumi said, blankly (me: Okay… maybe he doesn't respect his senpai's… that much…).

Banda-sensei gave his usual smile.

"What I mean is, if you want to catch a girl like Kira-chan… try acting like more of a kinder person… and stick with one girl," Banda-sensei said, knowing he could never do his last sentence.

-Pause!-

Sengoku: I can too stick with one girl!

Amy-Chan: Ohmigosh! Did you just pause my story! looks at him threateningly

Sengoku: turns into chibi Gomenasai… I will unpause It now…

-Unpause!-

Kiyosumi sighed at the advice Banda-sensei was giving him.

He had known Akin for more than 5 years, and yet… he still had no luck with her (Sengoku: I will!).

"Banda-sensei… I treat Kira as nothing but a friend. That's all," Kiyosumi said, his smile smaller than before.

"Aa… you treat her as a friend, but you feel of her as more. Am I correct?" Banda-sensei said, wrapping his arm around Sengoku's shoulder.

'Okay, if I didn't know Banda-sensei better, I'd say he's homosexual…' Kiyosumi thought, cautiously.

"Ano… will you let go of me, onegaishimasu?" Sengoku asked, politely.

Banda-sensei took his arm off of him, and went back to his seat.

"Well… you'll start tomorrow, because today you have to protect the first years from Jin, okay?" Banda-sensei said, getting some papers out of his drawer.

"Aa. I'll inform Kira-chan about it," Kiyosumi said, dully.

'Tomorrow will be a long day…'
