A/N: I FOUND MABUSHII MIRAI YEAH!
Okay, don't mind me. Now…I'm asking you all…is the news about new Chrono Stone character songs are real, or not?
I only know Bokutachi no Shiro and Seishun Oden will be there, that's for sure.
Anywho…we're getting near Valentine's Day now…so, I'm thinking about a chapter for Valentine's Day! And since I don't know when will I be online again, I decided to upload this as soon as possible.

Normal POV
"EEEEEEEEEEH?"
"Two new members in a day? R-really?" Tenma asked, which made the others nearly fell.
"Is that why you also shouted…?" Kurama asked with a 'who-am-I-kidding' face.
"Well…yeah! And both of them are transferees!" Tenma added, and she still couldn't believe the situation herself.
Shindou quickly shook his head. "Say…will this be okay with kantoku?"
"Kantoku won't even come today!" Hikaru shouted, to which the others looked at her in surprise…yes, including Kariya.
"Err…sorry, was my voice too loud?" Hikaru sweatdropped at her own actions. "Well, kind of…anyway, why was that?" Shindou asked, back to his serious self.
"W-well…it's nearly Valentine's Day and-"
"VALENTINE'S DAY?" Kirino, Aoyama, Kurama, and Shuu yelled, to which the other three stared at Shuu. Why on earth did he yell too?
Unfortunately…
"…why were you all yelling?" Tenma asked as she didn't get the idea. Kirino only facepalmed…why does her friend need to suffer Endou-kantoku's syndrome?
"Oh for the love of boys…VALENTINE'S DAY IS NEAR!" she yelled right at Tenma's ear. "EH? WHAT? VALENTINE'S DAY?"
…
"Okay, not funny," Kariya muttered. "Um, I don't mean to bother but…what's with the yelling?" Hikaru asked.
"Wait…Himeka doesn't know?" Kariya thought. "Maybe it has nothing to do with the girls after all…"
"…you know what Valentine's Day is, right?" Kirino asked Hikaru with a bit of 'answer-me-correctly-or-I-will-kill-you' glare.
"Um…it's a day filled with love right?" Hikaru replied innocently. "And…? What usually happens at that day?"
"Girls usually confess their love and-"
…
"VALENTINE'S DAY IS NEAR?"
"…Kariya, not you too…" Shindou nearly can't stand all this commotion. What's wrong with Valentine's Day anyway? It won't be a problem for him since he's 100% single and…wait, THAT IS A PROBLEM!
"If Valentine's Day is near…then White Day is getting nearer too...wait, why did I just think like that? It's not like a girl will confess to me or something!" Kariya suddenly hit his forehead for his dumb thoughts. And why did he just suffer the 'slow-thinking' syndrome? And Hikaru couldn't help but sweatdrop at the commotion!
"Anyway…am I in or not?" Hakuryuu reminded them to get back to the original topic.
"Ah yeah sure, you're in! Let's practice!" Kariya said and quickly grabbed Tsurugi outside. "W-why Tsurugi?" Tenma's eyes widened a bit.
"Um…I'm not sure, but…I think we should practice too…" Hikaru said with an awkward smile. "Good call, Kageyama. Let's go, minna!" Shindou ordered and MOST of them went out to the field.
As for the rest…
" Valentine's Day is near…I nearly forgot!" Aoyama would probably curse herself to forget such an event! And it would also be her first Valentine with Ichino! What kind of idiot would forget that?
"I KNOW RIGHT?" Kurama said. She was just as frustrated as Aoyama was. And she was even worse, since she wants to confess to Minamisawa but doesn't know how. And yeah, she's also a crossdresser!
"Valentine's Day is near…Valentine's Day is near…" and Tenma had kept repeating that for the last 5 minutes.
"Seriously, you guys are still in a better situation! Shumizu, you already got a boyfriend and he knows that you're a girl! You too, Tera! As for you Kurama…or should I call; Nami, Minamisawa knows that you're a girl! As for me and Himeka…well, Shindou doesn't know if I'm a girl and Himeka is not in very good terms with Kariya and she's busted!" Kirino explained while her heartbeat was still beating DAMN fast.
"Wait, so you finally admit that you like Shindou-senpai, huh Ran-san?" Tenma teased.
Kirino blushed, "for me to know and you never to find out."
"Right…anyway, so Himeka really likes Kariya then?"
"…I-I never said I do," Hikaru also blushed. "Well, then explain how can you two become so close?" Kirino demanded.
"Well…it's just at that time when I was really worried about Amagi-senpai and…um…"
"Ah right, he seemed to be so concerned towards you and then he flashed that evil grin and you started to fall for him," Kurama explained.
"H-how did you know?" Hikaru asked with her face turned redder. "I'm a good stalker."
"Nami!" the other girls scolded her. "But, seriously? I kinda find Kariya's personality is creepy…" Ran stated, to which the other girls agreed.
"Well…you haven't known him that much. He's really sweet."
"ACHOO! Did I catch a cold again?"
"Kariya, take care of yourself, the final exams are coming," Shindou warned him. "Like I care…"
"Apparently I'm not a smart type like you, Shindou-senpai," Kariya grinned. "Exactly, he's more like the lazy type and you might wanna ignore him for this one, captain," Tsurugi joined in.
"Um…not exactly, but-"
"By the way, has anyone seen Kirino?" Shindou suddenly asked. "Now that you mention it, Tenma's not here either," Tsurugi said as he looked for the brunette.
"Himeka too…I wonder what happened…"
"Minamisawa IS nice! You just don't know him that well, that's all!" Kurama insisted to her friends. "I don't know Nami, he's a bit of…narcissist to me," Aoyama said awkwardly. "Yeah…I agree," Kirino shrugged.
"But the fact that he IS nice cannot be denied," Tenma cut in. "Or maybe he's only nice to Nami-san?" Hikaru guessed.
"Yeah, I think Himeka's more accurate!" Kirino agreed. "Or not!" Kurama still denied, to which the other girls laughed.
Meanwhile, a pair of eyes were watching there the whole time…
"…hmm…interesting…"
"Anyway, let's all get back to the field or the guys will notice," Kirino reminded them. "Hai!"
"Shuu, wanna go home with us later?" Tenma offered. "Ah, no thanks…I'm currently in a hurry…" Shuu replied with a sad smile. Yep, the 'girls' haven't changed yet…as usual; still waiting for the time to go to the restroom.
"Ah…that's too bad. Maybe some other time?"
"Sure!"
Staring at the two, another figure started to chat.
"Hakuryuu, mind to come home with me later?" Tsurugi asked.
"N-not at all, Tsurugi. Why?"
"Nothing…just wanna know you better. You're new here, right?" Tsurugi raised one eyebrow. "Well yeah…"
As for the others…
"Himeka, will you be working again today?" asked Aoyama. "Um…yeah, why?"
"Well, I can't accompany you today and Nami is busy so…" Aoyama didn't know how to say it, while Hikaru only smiled.
"That's okay. I can go by myself."
"So…Hakuryuu?" Tsurugi started up. "Um…what?"
"About 'Shine', who is she…if I may know?"
Hakuryuu stayed silent in return. Tsurugi suddenly felt that he shouldn't have asked that in the first place.
"Sorry, you don't have to tell if you don't want to."
"N-no, it's not that. Shine is…well, I can't describe it into words," Hakuryuu grinned. "I see…"
"She's just; very special to me. Like how a certain girl to you, Tsurugi," and that nearly made Tsurugi froze.
"Wh-what are you talking about?"
"You're in love with someone in Raimon, I know it. Because I know the look of someone who's in love…" Hakuryuu said while looking at Tsurugi.
"How can you tell, really?" Tsurugi was still confused. "Well…" Hakuryuu stared at the sunset.
"When I see your expression…it's like I can see my own reflection…"
"Himeka-chan, more coffee please!"
"Himeka-chan, over here!"
"Himeka-chan!"
"Himeka-chan!"
"Y-yes!"
Oh, honestly…poor Himeka. Not only the maid café where she works is the number one in town, but she was also the most popular JUNIOR maid there. Come on, who can resist Himeka's cuteness?
"Why is everyone all goes 'Himeka' and 'Himeka'…" muttered one of the other maids there. "Eh? Isn't it good? I mean, we don't get much customers before she joined in…" the other maid reasoned.
"Yeah but, don't you find it a bit annoying?"
"Apparently I don't …" the second maid smiled. She has got waist-length, straight black hair, with some hair pulled out at the front. She's nearly as sweet as Himeka…from the looks of it.
"Hey Himeka! Your shift is over! Come back here!" the first maid called out. She has crème-yellowish hair that was split into long, curly pigtails. In her pink maid uniform, she's just as sweet as the other maids are. "Y-yes, Kanae-san!" Himeka quickly rushed to the staff room to change. But before that…
"Okay guys, we have a new maid joining us. Well, not exactly new…she's already a maid here but she had to go for a while to somewhere and she finally came back," Kanae gave a slight introduction, but the 'new' maid then introduced herself as well. She was the maid who talked to Kanae back then.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shine. I…just got back here, and it will probably take me a while to adapt back so…yoroshiku onegaishimasu," she said.
"SHINE?" Himeka thought. "Why does that name seemed to be familiar…?"
Flashback
"Guys, this is Hakuryuu. He's a transfer student and wondered about this girl called Shine."
End Flashback
"Could it be…this girl…?"
"Oh, and the purple-haired one is Kageyama Himeka. She's new here too and I already told you a bit about her. She's currently the most popular junior maid around here," Kanae explained. Apparently she was introducing all the maids there to Shine. "Ah, so you're Kageyama Himeka. Nice to meet you," Shine said.
"Eh? What?" Himeka was definitely zoning out.
"Himeka…Shine said it was nice to meet you…" Kanae glared. Well, she's not known as a strict leader for nothing!
"Ah, sorry! Nice to meet you too!" Himeka quickly bowed. Kanae only sighed, "okay girls, your shift is done for today. Don't forget to come again on 15th of February…"
"15th huh? Great, a holiday!" or at least that's what Himeka thought.
"…except for those who should enter on Valentine's Day," Kanae continued to which some of the maids groaned and pouted.
"Seriously! We can't let the café closed during one of the most important and romantic events of the year! Though we'll only be open for a short while and only a few maids will come…and it's all based on my decision. No complains, or you're fired. Understood?"
…
"Yes, Kanae-san," all the maids chorused. "Good, the list is near the refrigerator. Hope you're lucky enough," Kanae said and left the room.
The other maids then made their way to the refrigerator; wondering whether their name was on the list or not.
" 'We need the most kawaii maids around! So if you think you're cute enough, then sorry if you're on the list. Though for those who are not on the list…don't worry, you're all still kawaii. Now, here are the maids…'. Hmm…Alice, Eri, Meta, Shine, Kanae. Phew…" Himeka exhaled.
Though the idea may not be so good for the other maids…
"Work, huh? Well, master better be prepared…"
"EH? Why didn't you say so?" Ran asked…nearly yelled. Apparently Ran, Nami, and Shumizu had gathered around at Shumizu's to discuss about 'something', and too bad Tera was having ANOTHER date with Taiyou!
"I completely forgot about it! Something's probably wrong with me today!" Shumizu freaked. It's like she was attacked by an alien or something.
"She's right. She even forgot about Valentine's Day," Nami stated, still with her 'Kurama' looks. "Well, we all did that!" Ran sweatdropped and went back to the topic.
"Anyway, so master called you last night?"
"Yeah, she said she was …disappointed…"
Kirino suddenly flinched. "No way…she knows?"
"Knows what?" Nami and Shumizu asked. "Oh honestly…when she says that, she'll probably send another person to watch us!" Ran said.
"But who?" Nami asked again. "Now that you mention it…I did feel something eerie from that new guy, Shuu…" Shumizu muttered. "Why didn't you say so in the first place?" now it's Nami's turn to get frustrated.
"Again, something's wrong with me today…" Shumizu sighed.
"Okay, look; whoever master sent to Raimon, don't let your guard down. Since master knows about us, the spy will probably be in the soccer club. And since today we got two new members, it's either one of them. Hakuryuu's voice was definitely manly…there's no way he's a girl. So…"
Ran stopped for a while.
"Let's just watch out for Shuu."
…
RING
"Thank you all for today, see you tomorrow," the teacher said and left the classroom, leaving some students happy, some anxious, and some…
…crazy?
Yep, it's finally…
"VALENTINE'S DAY IS TODAY!" Tenma kept yelling even though everyone can see it already, because the Valentine's Day's banner was hung EVERYWHERE. "One thing Tera…WE CAN READ!" Kirino shouted and it was loud enough that everyone in the hallway stared at her.
"Sorry everyone…" Kirino apologized and the other students went back to what they were originally doing. "Anyway Tera, have you decided yet?"
"Yeah."
"And?" Kirino asked, to which Tenma gulped.
"Still the same," and Kirino sighed. "I feel bad for Tsurugi."
"Does this have anything to do with Tsurugi?" Tenma suddenly confused. "Well, you did say you like him," Kirino stated, remembering what happened a few days before with Himeka.
"But I still prefer Taiyou in this case, Ran-san…" Tenma sweatdropped. "Obviously…you better save some giri then…"
"By the way, I never thought that you would actually give honmei to captain, Ran-san!" Tenma changed the topic.
Kirino blushed furiously, "H-HOW DID YOU KNOW?"
"Nami-san's stalker side kinda affects me…" Tenma shrugged as Kirino facepalmed. "She really shouldn't be a stalker…I'm starting to have a feeling that she's the spy…" Kirino whispered, but loud enough to Tenma can hear.
"Eh? What is that, Ran-san?"
"N-nothing," Kirino lied. "Anyway, let's check on how the others are doing," she offered, and Tenma nodded. Well we definitely don't want Tenma to know about the 'spy' thing now, do we?
As for the boys…
"That's a LOT of chocolate, Tsurugi…" Kariya joked. "Shut up, you don't know how it feels like."
"Oh, you haven't seen my locker yet," Kariya replied in a not-so-nice way. Seeing Kariya still carrying his history book all around, Tsurugi only stayed quiet.
"Eh? Kariya-kun, you didn't put your book in the locker?" asked Aoi. "N-not this time…it's completely booked," Kariya answered…nicely, to which Tsurugi shot a deathglare at him.
"Are you just trying to be a lady's man?" Tsurugi asked. "What makes you think like that…of course not," Kariya raised one eyebrow. "Are you jealous or something?"
"As much as I want to be jealous at you…I think you're the one who should be jealous at Kirino…"
"Wh-what do you mean…?" Kariya asked as he looked backwards to see…
"Wow…I wonder what's wrong with girls these days…" Kurama shrugged. "I know right…?" Kirino asked desperately as she tried to tidy up her locker to fill up ALL the Valentine stuff she gets.
"I feel lucky that I'm not as popular as you, Ran-san…" Tenma admitted as she looked at how many stuff did Kirino get…AS A BOY.
"Though you did get some," Kurama muttered. "You did too, Nami-san!"
"CALM DOWN YOU TWO AND JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NOT AS POPULAR AS I AM!" Kirino yelled, again; leaving both of her friends quiet.
However, Kariya still dared himself to glare at the pink-haired…which will probably kill him sooner or later…
"...what are you looking at?" Kirino asked with a deadly aura. Kariya only replied, "nothing," and left. Hello…it's not easy carrying a history book while being angry! Except if you want to hit the other person with the book, that is.
"…what' s going on?" Hikaru asked to the three as she just passed the hall. Kirino sighed deeply because she needed to softened her heart for this one.
"Trust me Himeka…you don't want to know…"
"Do I miss something, captain? Why are you so red today?" Kariya asked teasingly to Shindou before practice. Although Kariya was correct, Shindou couldn't admit it that easily.
"What? I'm fine!"
"Well…did you just get a-"
"Captain, this strawberry chocolate is so good…where did you get it?" Tenma suddenly ran into the clubroom. Kariya turned his head around.
"…yeah, I think I got it correct…"
And Shindou's reaction…?
"…WHO TOLD YOU TO EAT IT?"
"Why captain, you said…"
Flashback
"Captain, got a lot today?" Tenma asked as she passed Shindou's locker. "Yeah…you can say it like that," Shindou answered as he closed his locker and holding a pink heart-shaped box.
"Eh…captain, what is that?"
"…wait, eat this for a while, I gotta run!" Shindou said as he gave the box to Tenma and ran outside.
End Flashback
"…I think I kinda lost focus back then…" Shindou finally admitted as he tried to recall that event. "Oh that's okay captain; the chocolate is good," Tenma said as she kept eating the heart-shaped thing.
"That's not what I mean!" Shindou shouted with his head boiling in anger, though the other two find it kinda silly. "W-well…sorry captain," Tenma smiled awkwardly. "Wait, you didn't finish it, did you?"
"Of course not! I knew you would want to try it…so I left you one, the one which has another heart pattern on it," Tenma said as she handed over the mentioned chocolate.
…
Shindou looked at it for a while and decided to eat it.
After the first bite…
"..eh? There's a paper in it?" Shindou asked to which Kariya and Tenma were like, "let me see! Let me see!"
"Calm down both of you! It's my chocolate, not yours!" Shindou said which kinda sounded…teasing somehow. "Then you won't mind to read it to us, right captain~?" Kariya teased, though only Shindou who could feel the teasing tone behind Kariya's fake innocent personality, in this case.
"Yes, captain! Read it!" Tenma added to which Shindou felt like he needed to sulk in the corner of the clubroom.
"Come on captain…don't keep us in suspense…" Kariya slightly glared. Shindou gulped.
" 'I don't mind if you don't accept these. I don't mind if you act like you never read this note. But remember, I'm always by your side. I just hide it from you so that you won't know the real me. Right…sorry I need to hide myself for certain reasons. Anyway, these feelings are only for you…from the deepest part of my heart. I would say to my friends that it's for me to know and they never to find out. But for you, it's for me to know and you to know as well.' "
…
"That was so sweet!" Tenma unintentionally let out her Tera side. Shindou and Kariya only sweatdropped at the commotion.
"Ah, I mean…um, that's sweet."
"I know Tera-san is reckless and a 'secret-love-expert'…but I never thought she would be like that…" or so Kariya thought.
"By the way, do you guys have any idea about who gave this to me?" Shindou asked the two. Kariya and Tenma looked at each other, wondering if both of them had the same person in mind.
"I think we do…" Tenma muttered. "And…?"
"Well…"
Though that was not the only thing happening…
"Hey Tsurugi, what's that you're holding? A honmei?" Kirino asked to the person who just went through the door. "N-none of your business, Kirino-senpai," Tsurugi stammered.
"Yeah…you're stammering, who's it from?"
"I'm not telling you!"
"I see…so it's Sorano, eh?" Kirino raised one eyebrow as he smirked…though he only guessed. "N-NOT!" Tsurugi blushed and Kirino ended up laughing.
"Kirino, hurry up! Tenma's waiting!" Kurama called. "Pfft…y-yeah, I'll – I'll be right there," Kirino mumbled as she still tried to hold her laugh. Tsurugi only remained silent and continued to walk to…wherever he intended to walk to in the first place.
"Himeka, aren't you going to give yours?" Aoyama asked as she sat down next to the mentioned girl, who's at that time probably felt nervous about something.
"Eh? N-no, I…already did. I put it in his locker," Hikaru replied as he looked at someone's locker.
"Hmm…why don't you just hand it over to him?" Aoyama asked. "I-it's not that simple, Shumizu-san! Especially right now; we don't talk much these days, remember?" Hikaru said with a sad face and stood up.
"I'm going to look for Ran-san and the others. Good luck for your first Valentine with Ichino-senpai!" she suddenly smiled, to which Aoyama grinned.
"You too Himeka, hope you and 'him' will get along soon."
"I doubt it Shumizu-san. But, thanks."
"So…why are we outside again?" Kirino asked to both of her friends that sometimes cannot be understood.
"Well, we're waiting for the other members…and we need to discuss about what's been going on today…especially about the girls," Tenma replied. Of course, the somewhat- 'love expert' didn't want to miss a single thing on that lovey-dovey day.
"Okay, let's see. I only know that Tsurugi got a honmei; well, I believe he got a lot. But there's one that he brought to the clubroom, instead of leaving it in his locker," Kurama stated. "I know about that, too. I asked who was it from but he didn't want to answer it, obviously. So I guessed about it and…he kinda blushed at what I said; maybe it's true!" Kirino explained which made Tenma wondered.
"Who was your guess, Ran-san?"
"Well…you know, your childhood friend?"
…
"Ah…Aoi? Yeah, they'll make a good one," Tenma responded. "Anyway," Kurama cut in. "What have you found? A-" she coughed, "love expert like you would've probably found some info around right?"
"Sure, I have! Shindou-senpai read aloud some sort of hidden note in one of the honmeis he got…I wonder who's it from…?" Tenma suddenly smirked at the azure-eyed female.
"…what?"
"You wrote a note inside one of the chocolates that you gave to captain, didn't you?" Tenma asked with a 'Tenma-like' smile.
"…is that wrong?" Kirino's cheeks turned red. "Well no, it's just…something new from you Ran," Kurama stared in awe. She never thought a girl like Ran would do it!
"I just thought that it would be nice…as long as I don't give out my true identity that easily…" Kirino said in a soft tone while staring at the sky.
…
Kurama's sigh kinda break the atmosphere.
"Say, Tera…will you have another date with Taiyou after practice?" Kurama asked to which Tenma nodded.
"Yup, it's my first Valentine to spend with him so…I think it'll be nice to surprise him with the honmei I got for him!" Tenma explained with 'rainbow-eyes'…or whatever you use to name Tenma's eyes when he was excited about something.
Kurama sighed even more.
"Lucky…"
"Um? Aren't you going to confess to Minamisawa-senpai?" Tenma asked, because she thought that Kurama already got plans for that year's Valentine.
"Maybe I'll skip that since…" Kurama sighed again. "Unfortunately his school got some sort of event that doesn't allow the student to get out of the school till tomorrow. And it wouldn't be funny to confess tomorrow, right?" she explained the situation, to which Kirino smirked.
"…Ran, why on earth are you smirking?"
"For me to know, and you never to find out," Kirino muttered.
Kariya have stared at the box for 5 minutes; even all of the members in the clubroom were confused at his actions. Though since they didn't want to ruin each other's Valentine's Day, they just act like nothing happened.
However, there was one person that couldn't help but to ask.
"Kariya, what's that?" and that person was…
"Nothing, Aoyama-senpai," the teal-haired replied while still staring at the box as if it was a mysterious thing that came out of a vortex or such.
"But you've been staring at it for minutes! It must be something!" Aoyama insisted.
"…it's just a honmei."
"Yep, just a honmei. What's with it?" Aoyama kept asking…until Kariya admitted it all.
"This is different than the other stuff I get…it has a note in it…"
"Himeka!" Aoyama thought.
"…what is it, Aoyama-senpai? You look…shocked."
"No, I'm fine but…why don't you read the note then?" Aoyama looked at the small white paper. Kariya gulped.
"I'm…just scared, I guess," he replied, to which Aoyama smiled.
"Silly…there's nothing to be afraid of. If you don't want to, then I'll read it for ya," Aoyama said as she grabbed the note from Kariya's hand…which surprised Aoyama that he'll let go of the note just like that.
"Yeah, I think it'll be better if you read it instead of me…" Kariya shrugged.
"O-okay…" Aoyama sweatdropped, but quickly read it afterwards.
"Um… 'To you; my best friend. I'm sorry about the thing that happened a few days ago. But I couldn't give it out just yet. For at least, thank you for being a very good friend, which somehow made me have this feeling towards you…yes, that's right. I like you.' " and with that, Aoyama finished reading the note…leaving Kariya's mouth wide opened.
"…what? I only read what's in here," Aoyama said, which didn't really change a thing.
"…you like the girl too, don't you?"
"Eh? Who?" Kariya snapped back. Aoyama sighed, "don't mind. You'll know what I mean soon enough…"
Kariya only stared dumbfounded…and will Kurama and the others have a good Valentine too? We'll see…
"Wait, Aoyama-senpai…you don't mean…"
A/N: Yep, it's not finished yet! But I'm afraid that it'll be too long, so I leave it at that. Anyway, happy Valentine's Day! Wish you all the best on that event, even though maybe you won't find anything special to do like I do…but, never mind.
Still looking for the Drama CD- okay, don't mind it…my syndrome's back. Anyone mind to review? Remember, no update till you do…ushishishi (?)
See ya in the next dimension, make it up to four…
