I'm so sorry for not updating my story 'Hikaru and Lantis Fic' sorry…. forgive me…please…Anyway I was too busy with my school work and without noticing the time, a year had past… I'm so deeply sorry to all my readers… As I promised in my story, 'Eternity love?' I'll bring you the latest chap of Hikaru and Lantis Fic NOW! HAHAHAHA!

Hikaru: what took you so long?

Hikaru1989: As I had just said, I'm busy with my schoolwork… (nn)

Umi: but you shouldn't have left us a year… DO YOU THINK I WILL FORGIVE YOU SO EASILY! (Fire appears around Umi and Hikaru1989 had shrunk)

Hikaru1989: I'm deeply sorry, Umi… I'll start the story right away now!

Chapter 20: Lantis's newest and deadliest rival

As Takako had said, Akane did come to pass Lantis the tuxedo as promised. And Asamoto Soshi within a day had become the most popular guy in Cephiro High. And Lantis could sense that Soshi had some idea of what had happened to Hikaru.

"Oh man…why must he be sitting next to me?" said Lantis to Eagle when they were on their way to the Science Laboratory.

"That you got to asked your favorite teacher, Lafarge Sensei!" said Eagle, smiling happily at what was happening to Lantis and Hikaru.

'Bang!' Lantis had just used a white fan to hit Eagle. (Where did he get that? )

"Hey, what you do that for?" asked Eagle as he rubbed his head painfully.

"You're hoping that I'll break up with Hikaru soon…aren't you?" asked Lantis as he was very fumed.

"Not exactly…I just feel that the show is getting more and more interesting isn't it, Lantis?" asked Eagle as he walks off smiling and rubbing his head.

"Interesting?" asked Lantis as he quickly catches up with Eagle.

"Yeah…" said Eagle. "Interesting…"

Eagle dumbfounded Lantis.

In the laboratory, Lantis sat next to Eagle. Lantis as usual was sleeping while Eagle just copy the notes that were written on the black board. And our most popular guy in the school now, Asamoto Soshi, is sitting right behind Lantis. He sure is a hardworking student who understood the formula written on the blackboard well enough.

"Now, I'll need to get a student to answer this question," said Taki Sensei, who had black long hair and eyes, which wore a scientist's coat.

Taki Sensei eyed across the room. Everyone was praying that Sensei would not choose him or her and the formula he asked is too complicated. Taki Sensei saw this as an interesting play, seeing everyone worrying, he smiled. But when he saw a black-headed young man lying on the table sleeping, he was furious.

'Lantis Sol AGAIN!' thought Taki Sensei, angrily. 'THAT YOUNG MAN! Who would have thought that Cephiro High top student, LANTIS, always sleeps in class without fail and passes his subject well? Who would believe?'

Feeling pissed off by Lantis's attitude, he decided to ask Lantis.

"How about Lantis?" asked Taki Sensei causally.

'Oh No…here we go again…' thought Eagle who knew what's happening. He woke up Lantis from his peaceful slumber by kicking Lantis hard on his leg.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, EAGLE!" Lantis woke up in a rage.

"Taki sensei asked you a question." Said Eagle causally as he was too used to Lantis's anger.

"Lantis…are you ignoring my presence again?" asked Taki Sensei.

"Huh! Err…no…I was just…thinking of something…" said Lantis, awkward.

"Thinking of Hikaru Shido?" asked Kitty and the whole class started laughing.

"Of course not! Why are you guys always doing this to me?" said Lantis, pissed off by everyone's mocking of him and Hikaru.

"Hikaru?" a voice was heard behind Lantis. Lantis could smell a rat now. He knew that these mocking if they continue, Lantis is getting to have a problem dealing with Asamoto Soshi.

'why should I be afraid of him? I can just admit that I'm dating with Hikaru now and what can he do about it?' thought Lantis.

"Yeah. She's my girlfriend." Said Lantis, turning towards Soshi.

"So you're the one father-in-law was saying. There's a guy who seems to be dating with Hikaru. That guy is a trouble if Hikaru continues to be with him. He will be the one who would stop Hikaru from coming back into our family." Said Soshi as he glared at Lantis.

'Mmm…I'm smelling fire sparks here.' Thought Eagle.

After school, Lantis and Eagle went to Hikaru's class to fetch her.

"Hey, Hikaru!" called Eagle as he and Lantis stood by the door.

"Lantis, Eagle!" said Hikaru, happily.

"Ahh…it is just a tiring day today…" said Umi as she, fu and Hikaru headed towards Lantis and Eagle.

"Oh! Is that so? Rowdy girl gets tired as well?" said Eagle, which seems like an insult to Umi.

"What! What did you just said!" said Umi, angry and rage of fire appearing in the background. And she started to use a white fan to hit Eagle's head. (Why do they fight all the time!)

"Hey! Stop it you rowdy girl!" said Eagle as he protects his head with his hands.

"Oh yeah! Hikaru! Listen to this! Soshi had already set a red card to Lantis." Said Eagle as he dodged Umi's violent movement. (Red card means Soshi wants to compete with Lantis for Hikaru's love.)

"Don't you dare change the topic? I'll kill you THIS TIME!" said Umi as she continues to hit Eagle.

"YOU ROWDY GIRL!" said Eagle as he got angry as well and fought back by using a white fan too?

"Huh?" said Hikaru and Fu, shocked by what they'd just heard.

"Yeah. He did that." Said Lantis as he looks away.

FLASHBACK!

After science, Soshi asked Lantis to meet him at the rooftop.

"So what you called me here for?" asked Lantis.

"Hikaru…" said Soshi, calmly.

"Hikaru? What has it got to do with Hikaru?" asked Lantis getting impatient.

"I want to compete…with you! I want Hikaru to know that only me is worthy of her. Only me can be with her giving happiness to her."

"what makes you think you would win?" asked Lantis as he thought of Hikaru.

"I'll win…definitely!" said Soshi confidently.

"Fine! What do you want to compete with me? And when?" asked Lantis as he stared at Soshi hard.

"Kendo! In 2 weeks' time!" said Soshi.

"I'm fine with it!" said Lantis, accepting Soshi's challenge.

END OF FLASHBACK!

"But it would be dangerous!" said Hikaru.

"Don't worry, Hikaru! I'm fine with it." Said Lantis trying to calm Hikaru down.

"Lantis! Listen to me!" said Hikaru as she stood firm in front of Lantis.

"Soshi would do anything to win this battle. It is too dangerous!" said Hikaru as tears started to form right in her eyes.

"Really! I'm going to be fine, Hikaru! Truly." Said Lantis while a fight was still continuing between Umi and Eagle.

"DIE!" shouted Umi as she hit onto Eagle's head.

"Oh yeah!" Eagle fought back.

Hikaru, Fu and Lantis sweat-dropped looking at the chaos situation.

A/N: I know this is short for my 1-year's disappearance but I've tried my best…I haven't written a story for the past year. I'm sorry…but do not worry! I'll be back soon, I hope…() Eagle is getting all OOC…sorry! Anyway, do you guys thinks that Umi and Eagle would become a couple in the end? And what's going to happen at the ball? What's Lantis going to do to win Soshi? What's going to happen to this story? Haha! I'm not telling anyone! Hahaha! (Evil laughter!)

Lantis: Man, must you always make things difficult for Hikaru and me?

Hikaru1989: I've just said I'm sorry! You idiot!

Lantis: idiot! Did I just hear you saying that?

Hikaru1989: what's the big problem?

(Lantis stared hard on Hikaru)

Eagle: Guys, please calm down. But Hikaru1989, why am I always fighting with Umi?

Hikaru1989: that's what makes the story interesting, Eagle! (Eyes sparked!)

Umi: she's insane!

Eagle: I agree!

Hikaru1989 and all characters look awe. Everyone is shocked by their agreement.

Eagle and Umi: WHAT!

Everyone: nothing…haha…

Fu: Hikaru1989, when's Ferio's story and mine coming?

Hikaru1989: Sorry, Fu. I'll try my best.

Ferio: you'd better be quick, Hikaru1989! (Ferio pointing a sword towards Hikaru1989)

Hikaru1989: what's the problem? Aren't you scared that I'll erase you from the story?

Ferio gulped and lay down his sword.

Umi and Eagle: for this, I agree she's totally insane.

Umi: why are you copying me?

Eagle: you're the one!

Umi: NOT ME!

Eagle: NOT ME EITHER!

Umi and Eagle: this is war!

Umi and Eagle starts to fight again with white fans. (;)

Hikaru: well, be sure to catch the next chapter! Coming soon…

Please r/r! thanks!
