Chapter 15: The Birthday Challenge and Wish

Part 1

"Hohohoho!" a very sharp laughter was heard in Cephiro High main gate. Everyone who was walking inwards their school shoes lockers room, turned around and see.

A girl with black hair tied in a high ponytail and had black eyes, wearing the Cephiro High Uniform that is a light blue skirt and white western shirt. She was holding onto a gymnastic light green ribbon spinning it around and around.

"Minna-san! I'm Haruka Maki!" said the girl introducing herself.

"Why is Maki here, Takako?" asked Eagle who is standing next to Takako, who is giggling all the way.

"Huh? What? What's up, eagle?" asked Takako.

"Maki! She! Why is she here?"

"I don't know." Said Takako still giggling.

"Forget it. Just pray that Lantis will not suddenly go mad or what." Said Eagle very worry what will Lantis do.

The couple, Hikaru and Lantis as usual is walking to school but today Hikaru seems very troubled by something. Lantis took no time to notice it.

"Hikaru, are you okay? You don't look well." Said Lantis, worry.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Hahaha!" said Hikaru as she smiles.

Lantis thought for a while and look at his watch. And sigh.

'No wonder. Must be eagle who told her about it.' Thought Lantis.

At school, while Eagle is talking to Takako, suddenly sneeze.

"What's that for?" asked Takako.

"Mmm. I think that must be Lantis-chan scolding me." Said Eagle.

"What did you do again?"

"Hahaha! That's for you to remember what day is it going to be in 5 days' time."

"5 days? Ahhhh! That day is______!" said Takako but before she could finish Eagle put his index finger on her lips.

"Shhhhhh! Be quiet about it." Said Eagle as he winked.

"Sure!" said Takako very happy.

"Ah____ ah choo!" Eagle sneeze again.

Back to the couple, Lantis was still cursing Eagle under his breath.

~ Hikaru thoughts ~

What should I get for him?

I have no idea at all.

~ Flashback ~

Hikaru was doing her homework till the phone rang. She quickly went towards the phone.

"Hello? This is Shido desu." Said Hikaru.

"Hi! Hikaru-chan! Eagle here!" said Eagle happily.

"Oh, eagle. What's up?" asked Hikaru, wondering what happen.

"Haha! You will never know..." said Eagle giggling all the way.

"Eagle!" said Hikaru.

"Hehe! Joking. I guess that Lantis have not told you about his birthday is coming right?" asked Eagle.

"WHAT?! HIS BIRTHDAY IS COMING!" exclaimed Hikaru.

"I knew it." Said Eagle, sighing. "And you're too loud Hikaru!"

"Sorry!"

"Anyway, hope you can get something for him as soon as possible!" said Eagle laughing at the other end of the phone.

"Ja ne! Hikaru! See ya!" said Eagle.

~ End of Flashback! ~

Finally, the couple enters the school and saw Maki.

"Ma-ki!" said Lantis all shocked.

Eagle and Takako who is still looking at Maki looked up when they heard Lantis's voice. They were shocked to see Lantis starting to flame his anger out that they shouted:

"Ohayo! Lantis-chan! And what have we had here! Maki! Takako's cousin!"

Lantis quickly got a shocked when Maki saw him. He started to escape but he was too late. Maki caught him with her ribbon.

"Lantis-sama! It had been long since we last met!" said Maki very happy.

Lantis was struggling to get out of Maki's grip but it was in avail. Hikaru who was watching the 'show', sweat dropped.

"Ano! Are you Haruka Maki from St. Burke?" asked Hikaru.

Maki noticed Hikaru. And said "I'm indeed! I'm the black rose from St. Burke! Hohohohohoho!" said Maki, laughing again.

"I'm Hikaru desu. Shido Hikaru " said Hikaru doing her curtsy.

"Hikaru here! Is Lantis's current girlfriend!" said Eagle as he walks towards Hikaru, happily!

"Eagle! You're dead!" shouted Lantis.

"What?! Girlfriend? My Lantis-sama!" said Maki angrily.

"I challenge you! Challenge you to a gymnastic martial arts match!" said Maki angrily.

"Huh? But..." said Hikaru, shocked.

"I, Takashi Primera, hereby now, that I'll join the challenge too!" said Primera who happens to hear everything.

"So! You're joining too! I'm sure that Hikaru here will not reject right."

"Of course!" said Hikaru.

"Well then! Hohohohohoho! Eagle, you'll be the judge! Prize is she will alone celebrate Lantis's birthday without any interruptions! Battle begins in 3 days!" said Maki.

"Sure" said Primera and Hikaru, who flare up their fighting sprite together.

"Never knew Hikaru to be so fierce!" said Eagle.

"And you're dead, Eagle!" said Lantis, who finally stood up.

"Ma ma! Lantis. Relax! By the way, this was Takako's idea!"

"Eagle!" shouted Takako, who is shocked.
