~Normal POV~

"Okay, so the order in which the relay will go in is, Yaya and Kairi are first, then Nagi and Rima, Amu and Ikuto then me and Kukai," Utau said. Everyone nodded before going to their places.

"Good luck," she screamed to everyone before jogging to catch up to Kukai. Yaya waited patiently at the start of the race...while Kairi was jumping up and down excitedly.

"So do you think we'll win? Do ya? Do ya?" Kairi yelled at Yaya making her twitch unconsciously.

"Well, my hypothesis is that we will come...last,"

Kairi stared at her shell-shocked. He gripped both of her shoulders and shook her back and forth violently.

"How could you say such a thing? Why on earth will we come last?" he complained still yelling. Yaya sighed.

"Well based on my guesses, I expect us to come last for quite a few reasons. First of all, I am not a very energetic runner so therefore this will slow us down. Secondly Utau has made poor decisions on the pairs because all of them despise each other and they will constantly bicker at each other. This meaning we will lose a great deal of time," she concluded. Kairi stared at her quizzically.

"Kairi doesn't hate you though," he muttered, a small blush forming on his cheeks. Yaya stared at him and also blushed, now averting her gaze to something else. They stood in awkward silence for a while.

"Thankyou," Yaya whispered.

"YOUR WELCOME," Kairi burst out. Yaya jumped at the outburst and gave a giggle.

"Why are you laughing?" Kairi asked, even though he secretly was enjoying seeing her laugh and smile. Yaya just shook her head.

"First pairs that will be running for the relay race, please go to the starting positions and goodluck," the teacher directed.

Kairi grabbed her hand making her go red and gently dragged her to the starting mark.

"On your mark, get set, go!" the teacher yelled, blowing the gun signalling it was time to go. Yaya started to run but only being good at studies fell flat on her face. People in the crowd laughed, some pointed and murmured. Yaya sat there blushing as hard as she possible could staring down so they couldn't see her face.

~Yaya's POV~

This could not get more embarrassing. It just couldn't. But I will not cry. I felt something hot and wet fall on my cheeks. I lifted my hand to slowly touch it. Tears. Salty fucking tears.

"Don't laugh!" someone yelled. I gasped and looked up. Kairi. He was looking at everyone with an angry expression on him. I couldn't help it, even though he looked angry he still looked...sorta...cute with his cheeks all puffed up. I shook my head. I am not going to have affectionate feelings for him. That would lose my train of focus on school work.

"How would you feel if you were in her position? Would you like it if people laughed at you?" He paused as if waiting for an answer. "Kairi didn't think so," he huffed. Then he glanced at me and put out his hand waiting for me to grab it. I hesitated then looked at him. My heart drummed. I reached up and grabbed it. I couldn't help it. It was like some sort of force, pulling me towards him. Together we jogged to try and catch up to the others.

"I apologise for making us come last," I whispered. He stared at me and smiled. I blushed and looked away.

"It doesn't matter. As long as we don't give up , maybe we might actually get first place?" he said still thinking if we even had a chance before energetically running, dragging me along. Dammit. I've fallen for this happy idiot. I've fallen for him hard. And I haven't even known him this long.

"So...by any chance do you have, well, a girlfriend?" I muttered staring away. Ahh...I'm getting so tired I don't even know what I'm saying.

"Err...what?"

I shook my head furiously. Stupid. Stupid.

"N-nothing! Don't worry, I'm so exhausted I don't even know what I'm saying. My apologises!" I whispered, half panting and half blushing. How can he run this far without even panting? It's incredible. He stared at me for a moment then laughed. I glared at him.

"Hahaha...sorry it's just that you're so cute when you blush," he muttered. I looked away. Crap. My hearts beating faster...again.

"And no Kairi does not have a girlfriend," he continued, gripping my hand tighter. Inside, I sighed with relief. Get a grip! You do not like him. You do not like him...but he's so adorable...SNAP OUT OF IT!

I kept talking to myself until suddenly I felt Kairi's hand touch my forehead.

"Wha-at are you d-doing?" I yelled.

"Well, you kind of look sick and your really red, so Kairi is just checking if you have a fever or not," he said sheepishly. So are you implying that I'm lazy and slow? I tried not to glare at him.

"Are you saying that I'm slow at running?" I said glaring at him. He looked at me.

"Maybe...,"

"Do you want to die?"I screamed glaring at him. He chuckled and ran faster, dragging me along. I sighed. I just couldn't stay mad at him no matter how hard I tried.

~10 minutes later~

Ahh, I am so tired. Kairi continued to run. My hand felt sweaty against his.

"Can...we...just...stop...for...a little bit," I panted. I swiped my forehead. Why does today have to be so hot? Kairi shook his head and looked at me apologetically.

"Sorry, but we're nearly there. When we get there you can rest all you want,"

I nodded.

My legs felt weak.

I felt dizzy.

I wobbled slightly. Kairi looked at me concerned. I gave him a small smile to show him I was okay.

"Come on, just a little more. Look you can see Rima and Nagihiko," he soothed, trying to encourage me. I smiled. It was true. I could see them. I saw Rima beckoning for us to come but in a patient way.

"Come on, nearly there," Kairi continued. He kept going, comforting me along the way. This gave me strength. I ran faster and finally reached them. We tapped their hands and I fell to the floor, utterly exhausted. I felt Kairi pat my head.

"You did well," he said cheerfully. I gave him a appreciative smile and grateful nod.

"I couldn't off done it without you,"

"Kairi knows," he said chuckling. I laughed and gave him a light smack on the shoulder as he sat beside me. And together, we sat in silence, watching Rima and Nagi run off into the distance.

~Rima's POV~

I jogged energetically, gripping firmly on Nagihiko's hand since I was kind of scared he would let go.

"So...," I drawled out. He just glanced at me.

"Pfft," he muttered looking away. I twitched. What is with this guy? So here I am, trying to be nice and polite. Being kind and cheerful when he has been...well lets face it. A pain in the ass. And how does he return the favour? How does he freaking return the favour? The answer is...he doesn't. There are no thankyou's or other kind caring words. I sighed and took a deep breath. Maybe I'm over exaggerating. But still. He is...well excuse me for my bad words...simply to put it... he's a dick.

"So your pretty good for a guy who likes to cheat," I continued. He glared at me. I laughed.

"And your pretty bad for someone who's short and likes to dance,"

I growled at him. I would've slapped him but being the polite lady I am, I resisted the urge...or the other reason was that I didn't slap him because well I was kind of holding his hand.

"Don't comment on my shortness!" I yelled. He smirked and continued to run, little beads of sweat forming across his face.

"I'll say what I like to thankyou very much," he said looking smug. I glared at him. That's when I realised something.

"Wait a second. Who told you I like to dance," I questioned curiously. I saw his face freeze for a moment before he quickly recomposed himself. Gotcha.

"Well what do we have here. A stalker?" I said taunting him. He frowned. I laughed inwardly. I gave a fake gasp.

"Maybe a rapist or a pedophile?" I said pretending to be shocked. I heard a low growl. I laughed. Hard. Was this fun or what? I wiped the tears from my eyes.

"But seriously how did you know," I asked. He glanced at me.

"Honestly?"

"Honestly,"

"Well... I kind of...did a bit of background investigation on everyone," he muttered scratching his head and looking away. I looked at him.

"On everyone?" I asked. Woah he really was a stalker huh?

"Yeah, but just only the basic info,"

"Like what?" He sighed and took a deep breath.

"Well, I found out that for her whole life, yaya has gotten straight A's. Kairi has always acted as if he was 6. Ikuto has always put on a facade. Amu has been a playgirl for 8 years. Kukai has loved singing from the age of 8. Utau has loved to play soccer from the age of 6. And you like to dance," he said. I glanced at him. Wow. Thats insane. I gave a small smile.

"I know something about you too," I said looking at the sky. He scoffed.

"Like what,"

"Do you really want me to say it," I asked slowly. Nagihiko gave me a weird look.

"Yeah sure...whatever, it can't be that bad," he muttered.

"Okay. I know that you secretly like to read manga," I announced. He froze, his face going instantly pale. Gotcha big time buddy. He looked away.

"Pfft, why would I like man-" I laughed.

"Don't deny it, you know its true,"

"No it isn't,"

"Yeah it is,"

"No,"

"Yes,"

"No," I sighed.

"Are we really doing this?"

"Yes," he muttered. I smirked.

"So you do like manga,"

"Wha- no...aww crap," he said sighing. He glared at me.

"How did you find out?" I rolled my eyes.

"How could you not see the mangas hidden under your bed," I said sighing. He took a deep breath as one hand went up to rub his temples. I smiled. Aww...wasn't he cute when he's pissed. Wait. Not he's not cute. He's not cute. ...damn.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," I said bringing my finger to my lips and winking at him. He stared at me. I think I just saw a small blush. Woah. Thats not right. I might Nagihiko blushing? As if. As I started thinking, I wasn't looking where I was going.

"Hey Rima! Watch out!" I heard Nagihiko yell. I stared at him.

"Watch out for wha-" I asked, before tripping over something. I felt Nagihiko desperately try to keep a firm grip on me but ended up falling with me. Before I could realise what was going on, darkness swallowed me up.

~10 minutes later~

I woke up to find myself in someones arm bridal style. Where am I? Then everything came back to me. I looked up to see who was holding me. I came face to face with Nagihiko.

"Finally your awake," he muttered. I smiled.

"Thanks," I said before getting out of his arms. Well at least trying to get out of his arms.

"What the fuck are you doing," he yelled. I looked at him curiously.

"Getting down?"

"You can't get down, you only just woke up!" he said looking away.

"Not like I care or anything...," he muttered quickly. I giggled. He was acting so adorabl- No! Don't think like that Rima. Don't fall for this cold hearted dick.

"Thanks for caring but I'll be fine," I said jumping out of his arms before he could protest. Not a good idea. As I landed and started to walk, I suddenly felt dizzy. I wobbled and collapsed. Before I could touch the ground, Nagihiko caught me with strong arms.

"What did I tell you?" he said sighing.

"Sorry," I said apologising. He just shook his head.

"Anyways, I'll just carry you the rest of the way since its not that much further," he muttered. I gave a weak nod. Slowly my eyelids started to close, sleepiness starting to take over me. I struggled to stay awake.

"Just go to sleep idiot, I'll wake you up when we get there," Nagihiko muttered bluntly. I nodded, letting sleep take me away.

~Ikuto's POV~

This is so retarded. I glanced down at my hand. I was holding...Amu's hand. I shuddered. I can't believe I'm holding hands with a playgirl. We stood in awkward silence. I looked up to the the clear blue sky. Not a cloud in sight. I looked at Amu. She was wearing the sports uniform...just that...well her shorts...were well...short. Yeah I know short's are supposedly short but hers were well...really short. I shook my head and stared at her face. Everything was perfect. She was what every girl would want to be. But I hate to admit it. What I liked most about her face. Was her eyes. Her golden orbs. There were alluring. Just trying to pull you in. They were mysterious as if it would take ages to figure out what she would be feeling. But if you look really close. Like extremely close. You can see a little bit of sadness. Suddenly I saw her smirk.

"Hey! What are you looking at my face for?" she said with a smirk. Damn. I've been caught.

"I wasn't looking at your face,"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah,"

"Then why are you so close?" she asked her smirk widening. I froze and abruptly took a step back. She gave a small giggle before looking out for Rima and Nagihiko. When I made sure she wasn't looking, I took a peek at her face again. That's when I realised something. Her hair was short and layered. Last time I saw her, it reached her waist and was curly.

"Woah, since when did you cut your hair?" I asked curiously. She looked at me while slowly raising one eyebrow.

"What are you talking about?" I pointed at her hair. She sighed and shook her head.

"I've always had short, layered hair,"

"B-b-but you had long hair the first time I saw you," she rolled her eyes.

"Those were hair extensions dumbass," she muttered.

"Oh...okay. So is your hair naturally pink?" I asked. I mean, who the fuck has naturally pink hair. She sighed and blew her bangs out of the way.

"Oh and is your hair naturally navy blue? No duh," she said sarcastically while imitating my voice.

"Hey! My voice is not that high pitched," I said complaining. She chuckled.

"Sure it isn't,"

"Oh come on!" I yelled. She chuckled more.

"Geez you are such a kid," she said shaking her head. I looked at her in disbelief.

"You did not just call me a kid," I shouted.

"Who's a kid?" someone muttered bluntly. I glanced to where the voice was coming from. Nagihiko. And he was holding Rima bridal style. I raised at eyebrow at him. He looked away.

"She tripped and fainted so I had to carry her. I don't want to come last," he explained quickly. Amu smirked.

"Thanks Nagihiko," she said happily. Nagihiko looked at her weirdly.

"For what exactly?" he asked curiously. She shrugged her shoulders.

"You just gave me an idea- I mean, I just wanted to thank you for carrying my friend when she was in trouble," she said with a big smirk. I looked at her. What was she up to?

"Anyway, we better go, we don't want to come last," Amu said grabbing my hand and skipping away.

"Thanks Nagihiko again!" she yelled behind her shoulder.

~Nagihiko's POV~

"Thanks Nagihiko again!" Amu yelled behind her shoulder. I just waved back at them. Oh how Ikuto is screwed. I sat down, gently laying Rima so her head was in my lap. Geez, she is such an idiot. Tripping over something and making me carry her. Ahh, so troublesome. I looked at her peaceful face, my heart started to beat faster. I quickly looked away, dammit why is she making me react this way? I looked back at her again, my fingers slowly making their way to her hair. I snatched them back. No! Don't you dare Nagihiko. I sighed. Rima is such a nuisance. I glanced at her again. Screw it. My fingers weaved into her hair, gently stroking it. So soft. Suddenly I felt Rima move slowly as if she was waking up. I quickly took my hand back and pretend to wake her up. I gently shook her shoulders.

"Rima wake up!" I muttered. Rima peeked an eye open and slowly sat up.

"Oh, have Amu and Ikuto gone?" she asked while rubbing her eyes slowly adjusting to the sun. I nodded.

"Thanks Nagi," she said with a big smile on her face.

"For what?" I asked curiously.

"For carrying my through like half the race,"

"Meh... I didn't do it out of consideration but because I just didn't want to lose," I explained looking away. Geez Nagihiko you are such a bad liar.

"Sure Nagi, sure," replied Rima.

"But I d-did! Honest! And anyway, who told you, that you can call me Nagi," I protested. Rima looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"You did," she said smoothly. I twitched. Liar.

"No I didn't,"

"Yeah you did,"

"No I did not!"

"Sure sure," she said then waving her hand as if to say that it was the end of the argument. I sighed. She was such an idiot.

~Amu's POV~

Now to put my plan into action.

"So...," Ikuto said awkwardly.

"Yeah?" I said looking at him.

"Ack, nevermind," he muttered staring away. I smirked. He was just too cute. I squeezed his hand. He glared at me.

"What are you doing?" he said, voice raising. I smirked.

"I just didn't want to get lost," I said, pouting while saying it in a childish voice.

"But there is no crowd to get lost in," Ikuto growled.

"Haha yeah I know. I'm just messing with you," I said laughing. I looked at Ikuto to find him twitching which made me laugh harder. Now to actually put my plan into action.

~ 5 minutes later~

I pretended to look really tired.

"I-i-ikuto, I feel sick and I feel really dizzy," I whispered pretending to look exhausted. I closed my eyes.

"What? Amu!" Ikuto yelled. I smirked a little before pretending to fall. A pair of strong arms grabbed me before I could even touch the ground.

"Ahh shit! Amu wake up!" Ikuto whispered. After a minute of silence, I felt the exact same arms pick me up bridal style just like Nagihiko had to do with Rima. Perfect. Hmmm...Ikuto actually smells pretty nice. Woah, pervert alert. Meh... its my nature.

"Ahh...your an idiot, but your actually really light," Ikuto whispered to himself. I smirked again before snuggling against his chest. Ikuto froze.

"Amu are you awake?" he asked hopefully. I pretended to lightly snore. Better effect.

"Guess not," he muttered sighing. I laughed inwardly. So what should I do now? Hmm...something that would definitely piss him off. I brought my arms around his neck and buried my face into it. I felt his body go rigid and stiff. Bingo.

"Amu," he said in a warning tone. Might as well show that I'm awake now.

"What?" I muttered, my voice muffled as I was still hugging him.

"Get off me please," he asked, gritting his teeth. I laughed.

"Make me,"

"Oh I will," he said again this time he tone threatening. I froze, he wouldn't dare...drop me...would he?

"Okay, I'm going to count to 3 and if you don't let go, I'm going to drop you," Ikuto explained. He wouldn't fucking dare.

"3,"

"2," Oh, shit. I smirked, one last thing before hop down. Since I still had my hands around his neck, I pulled myself up to his ear.

"1," I whispered before giving his ear a nibble and hopping off. He froze and shot me a glare. I quickly covered my ears, knowing what was coming next.

"PERVERT!" he yelled.

"I know you are but what am I?," I said sticking out my tongue. He sighed. I held his hand tighter.

"Well, after my nap, I feel so re-energised. So lets go," I said sprinting to Utau and Kukai.

"I am going to kill you," he muttered. I laughed, was this fun or what? Plan a success.

~Utau's POV~

"You are so going to lose," I sang. Kukai glared at me, causing me to shut up. I held his hand tighter as I saw Amu and Ikuto run up to us. Right now, I was pretty sure our group was coming last but you know, got to think positive.

"Woah, you okay Ikuto? You look really...irritated," I asked slowly as the came closer. Ikuto glared at Amu. I laughed.

"Do I really want to know what happened?" Amu smirked.

"I don't think so," she replied smoothly.

"She tried to rape me," Ikuto muttered.

"Oh now your just exaggerating," she said rolling her eyes.

"Lets leave before it gets any worse," I whispered to Kukai. He nodded quickly.

"Well we're off," I yelled taking off as fast as I could, Kukai keeping up the pace.

"So whoever crosses the finish line first wins right?" he asked confirming it. I nodded.

~5 minutes later~

"Your actually pretty good," Kukai complimented. I nodded in approval. Damn straight I was good...wait no scratch that, I am better then good.

"For a girl," he continued. I glared at him. How dare he?

"You sexist pig," I said.

"Am not," he replied sharply.

"Well...a girl does have some good advantages," I muttered thoughtfully.

"Like what," he scoffed. I smiled. I took out the hair bands that were tying my hair up in pigtails, letting the luscious blonde strands drop slowly down. I shook my head just like the movies and gave him a stunning smile. He froze, his smirk faltering and his running starting to slow down.

"Like that," I said cheerfully taking the lead. He growled, snapping out of his trance, trying to catch up.

"I did not stop because of what you just did back then," he said stubbornly.

"What did I do?" I asked innocently, looking at him and tilting my head to one side.

"N-nothing," he gulped looking away. I giggled. Oh how this was fun. I saw him take a deep breath.

"Two can play at that game," he muttered. I stared at him. What was he talking about? He smirked at me and with his free hand, started unbuttoning his shirt.

"W-what are you doing," I whispered.

"Nothing," he said, innocently. I looked away, a blush forming on my cheeks.

"It's alright, I was just messing with you," Kukai laughed. I glared at him but ended up laughing with him.

"Oh look! The finish line," I yelled. Together we sprinted.

"Don't forget about the bet," he said.

"Pfft, how could I forget?" I laughed before stepping on his foot. His face twisted in agony.

"Opps, my foot accidentally slipped, are you alright?" I asked with a fake smile. He glared at me. I was leading.

"I'm fine," he muttered through gritted teeth.

"Are you sure?"

"You little cheater. Using dirty tactics. Bugger off," I laughed. Then together we ran across the finish line...me of course leading the way.

"Guess who owes me ramen?" I sang. Kukai glared at me before limping to the nurses office to get some ice for his foot. I smiled.

"So what did we come?" Rima asked, coming up next to me and hooking arms.

"Umm...I'm not actually sure," I muttered nervously, scratching my head. She sighed before shaking her head.

"We came last...just as I predicted," Yaya said coming up from behind us.

"Dammit," Kairi muttered, handing Yaya $5. I looked at them confused.

"We just made a bet at the last minute. I predicted that we would come last and Kairi though we would come first," Yaya explained. I sighed, she was so confident we were going to lose and we did.

"Where's Amu?" I asked looking around for her. No where in sight.

"Probably pissing off Ikuto," Rima said shrugging her shoulders. I sighed and started to walk to the nurses office. I wanted my ramen now while Kukai was still in pain.

~Amu's POV~

Oh shit.

"Hey Ikuto," I muttered nervously as I saw him come closer towards me, a dark aura around him.

"You are so fucking dead," he muttered walking closer and closer. I inched back.

"Hey! What are you doing to our Amu?" Yelled Tadase charging at Ikuto. Ikuto looked at him and instantly paled. I smirked. I was safe...for now.

"Crap," Ikuto muttered before running off. I watched in amusement as I saw my fan club chase him. Oh how I love my fanclub.
