"Waiii! Ideas just come spontaeneously!"

"Why is this chapter mushy again? And why do I have to be here?" Akaya crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"It's because this fic is in the Romance genre, and you have to do the Disclaimer part." he whined. Then a certain man with a height of around 6 feet came in, with silver hair in leather outfit. He wore a cool red glove and a pair of shades.

"The name's K Dash. I'm from The King of Fighters. Could you write a fic for us?" he said, tipping his shades a little lower with his signature grin. K' fainted.

"Ooookay..." he said as he looked at the author of this fic lying on the ground.


A Bento Made With All Her Love

It was a fine Friday afternoon and it was lunch break. Kirihara then ventured into the junior high building to sleep in the rooftop. Let's say it has been his ritual since he came to Rikkai.

Once he arrived at the rooftop, he climbed the top of the exit and lied down. Suddenly a song played itself in his mind. He heard it twice this morning over the radio. The song was 'About a Girl', he forgot which band performed it but then, it just continued to play in his thoughts. He closed his eyes.

One song about a girl

Can't breathe when I'm around her

I'll wait here everyday in case she scratched the surface

She'll never notice

He suddenly stirred and woke from his trance. He heard voices coming closer, a voice of a boy and others, which he recognized, are from girls. They emerged from the doorway and into the rooftop; they found a place to sit and started chatting. He listened, more like of an eavesdropping, and recognized a voice that was familiar to him. Then the first verse of the song repeated itself in his mind,

One song about a girl

Can't breathe when I'm around her

I'll wait here everyday in case she scratched the surface

She'll never notice

'God! The song is right!' he thought as his chest started to tighten while hearing the giggles of the girl whom he secretly admired yet he denied in himself. He knew the very reason why he went there; he unconsciously wanted to meet her. 'No…' he denied again. He heard his name and flinched. Sakuno called his name and he was sure that his senses weren't betraying him.

"Kirihara-senpai!" she called again, somehow she knew that her senpai would always be there whenever she ate lunch in the rooftop. At her call, there was no response.

"Kirihara-senpai!" she called again. Kirihara really wanted to come down and join them, but there's something in him that stopped him.

'Marui-senpai likes this girl; I can't be too close to her. And besides she's annoying!' he thought, putting in mind that he has to be really cautious around the girl. He ruffled his hair in confusion; he doesn't know what to do anymore.

He was pulled from his thoughts by a sudden call. He got struck when he heard her voice call him. "A-Akaya-kun, I k-know you're t-there and I want to g-give you somet-t-thing!" she half-shouted, enough for him to hear.

He scowled, 'This girl is annoying!' so he responded with a gruff "What is it!?"

She smiled, happy that her senpai was there, and told him, "I-I made a b-bento for y-you!" she stuttered; she didn't know as to why she made him that.

Kirihara sat up, and looked down at her from where he was, "You're pretty insistent, aren't you?" he glowered at her, but to his own surprise, he came down and sat beside her. 'What the f*** am I doing!?' he thought. His body just acted on its own. "Who told you to call me that name?" he said, annoyed.

Sakuno handed him the bento box and smiled with a blush on her face and he gladly accepted it. "Anou… Niou-senpai told me to do so."

'That friggin' bastard!' he thought but he didn't let his anger show through; it would sadden the girl.

"Thanks." He said. He never forgot to thank others, even if it's her or any other person. He started to eat and the boy beside Sakuno broke the silence. He talked to Sakuno openly, without traces of hesitation and they were pretty close. The girl beside Kirihara didn't talk, she was afraid to do so (she's the one that Kirihara scared along with the group of boys). While he was eating he eyed the boy beside Sakuno, since she appeared to be fond of him. Sakuno gave a very genuine smile at the boy which gave a tingling sensation to Kirihara.

The song then started to play in his mind again. 'What the!? Last Song Heard Syndrome to the max!' he shouted in his thoughts. He can't get it out of his head.

One song about a girl

Can't breathe when I'm around her

I'll wait here everyday in case she scratched the surface

She'll never notice

I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna' waste these words about a girl.

Last night, I knew what to say

But you weren't there to hear it

These lines, so well-rehearsed

Tongue-tied and overloaded

You'll never notice

Then at the second chorus he found himself singing along as he stopped eating.

"I'm not in love

This is not my heart

I'm not gonna' waste these words about a girl."

The others looked at him but he was staring at his food that he thought was made with love. He was still singing,

"I'm not in love

This is not your song

I'm not gonna' waste these words about a girl."

He was drifting off to his thoughts when he realized that he had sung aloud. He then blushed and he scanned through his companions.

He heard a soft clapping of hands and a very cheerful Sakuno. He stared at her and succumbed to her beautiful smile. Then Sakuno spoke, "Wow senpai, you can sing well!" she was still clapping and he just rendered another annoyed sigh and he continued eating.

Inside his mind he smiled and thought, 'I really got her attention there.' It took some time before he could reflect on his thought just now. 'Where the heck did that come from?' he thought disgusted by the fact that his thinking is already upside-down just being with this girl. But he was happy even though he denied it a thousand times.

When all of them finished eating, he returned the bento box and said, "Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu." while bowing down. He stood straight and found that Sakuno's friends had gone already.

He looked at her, who was blushing relentlessly. "Anou… I-Its okay, K-Kirihara-senpai!" she said while she shook her head. Kirihara smiled; he couldn't hold it in. He was just plainly amused by the little girl's actions.

By seeing her senpai smile, she smiled back and said, "Is it o-okay t-that I m-make these f-for y-you everyday?" she pointed at the lunch boxes that she held. She stuttered so much because she was afraid that her senpai would just get annoyed.

Kirihara was struck by the words he heard. He didn't know how to answer her question. He was blushing feverishly to boot. He bonked Sakuno's head lightly and said, "Fix the way you talk. You stutter too much." he smiled at her and returned to his peace while she nodded.

"See you tomorrow, Akaya-kun!" Kirihara then again, blushed. And then she left running; her face flushed. 'I'll take that as a yes, senpai.' She thought when she was half-way to her classroom.

He returned to his position before Sakuno and the others came. The song continued inside his head, from where it stopped.

To be loved, to be loved

What more could you ask for?

To be loved, to be loved

Everyone wants to be loved, to be loved

What more could you ask for?

To be loved, to be loved

Everyone,

Indeed, he felt he was loved somehow. He smiled to himself as he looked into the sky and sang aloud,

"I AM in love

And this is my heart

I'm willing to waste these words about a girl."

Then he merrily hummed as he want back to sleep, remembering that he still has a class and he didn't want to be late.

It was a fine Friday afternoon and it still was lunch break. Kirihara had ventured into the junior high building to sleep in the rooftop. Let's say it has been his ritual since SHE came to Rikkai.


"She's awake!" Kirihara shouted, but then K' fainted again after seeing K Dash.

"Hey wake up!" Akaya shook K' but didn't wake up.

"Well then, I'll be doing the Disclaimer part." K Dash said as Kirihara was busy waking the writer up.

"K' does not own The Prince of Tennis nor About a Girl. It's a song by The Academy Is. And one more thing," he paused, "She doesn't own The King of Fighters."

"And she also doesn't own me, but, she can if she likes to." he then produced a small sheet of paper from his pocket and read the things written on it.

"It says, 'This side story is dedicated to TheTensaiMaruiBunta. Thanks for the inspiration.'" he then looked at the back of the paper and found something else.

"Hmmm... 'There will also be a side story about Marui but still has to think on how to put it in the main plot.' There's something more. 'P.S. Thanks to rebeccasanfujieijilvr, TheTensaiMaRuiBunTa, windyelephant, and silverDoe02 for their reviews and to those who put this on their story alert. I really appreciate it." he huffed as he read continuously without taking a pause for breath.

"I'm outta here." then he disappeared.
