So here is my Chapter 3! Please enjoy and have a good time! Yoroshiku! ;)

It was already late in the midnight and I am still wide awake. Lying on the bed, facing the ceiling and staring emptily at the 'glowing in the dark' stars.

Yes, it may sound childish but I liked this 'stars'. It erased the idea of total darkness and replaced it with an illusion which portrays a beautiful starry night sky.

"Hmn… now that I think about it, It resembles Kanou-kun's beauty."

I smiled as I imagine Kanou-kun lying on the grass looking at the starry night sky. And it was unexpectedly followed by the scenarios we had in the clinic.

"E-eh!?"

My face increasingly turns red. I immediately buried my face on the elongated huggable pillow. I roughly rub my face side by side asking myself what I was thinking during that time.

"Kanou-kun must be feeling awkward with me now!"

Then the moment we had, when my face was already an inch-near to Kanou-kun's face that was about to meet our lips. My head release a steam of embarrassment.

-"You don't have to be scared now… I won't let it happen anymore... Because I will always be by your side…" –

I could feel my heart is rapidly knocking on my chest.

-"Umn, since sempai is helping me conquer my fear of girls. So that is why I am helping you…"-

As soon as I realized that the rising excitement that I was feeling instantly drop and was replaced with an instant sadness.

"Why…."

And I slowly closed my eyes.

..

A refreshing sunny morning came and I am now heading to school.

"haaa…"

I release a deep exhale. My mind was loaded with questions relating to Kanou-kun.

Will Kanou-kun starts to avoid me?

If that happens should I avoid him too?

I guess I cannot do that…

So should I explain and find an excuse like: "it was too dark so I wasn't able to notice that our faces were near."

*PUK* my head drop down like a puppet and sighed again

"Kanou-kun must be thinking that I am taking advances…"

I whispered to myself as I was staring to my walking feet. My hands were both gripping the handle of my hand bag that was hung on my shoulder as I was still exploring my thoughts. Until someone tap my shoulder from behind.

"Good Morning, Yukimura-sempai…"

I had instant goose bumps and strands of blushes marked my face. I slowly look at the person.

"O-oh… Kanou-kun, good Morning."

Kanou-kun had his hood and suit on again. Somehow, I must admit that I missed his usual appearance. It made me unconsciously smiled.

"It's good that we had a fine weather today right?"

My eyes widen and gave him a small nod in response.

"S-Sempai? Are you alright? Did you catch my flu yesterday?"

I flustered and my swayed my head rapidly.

"That's good, so shall we hang out tomorrow?"

"huh…"

Hearing him say that made me affirm that his voice didn't show even the slightest tone of loathing or even a single gesture of awkwardness that I was expecting to see. And the worries I had earlier slowly forfeited.

"Umn! I would love too!"

Fireworks of happiness explode in my heart and I had a wide smile and gave him a big nod of approval.

...

We are now entering the school gate when a girl with long straight black hair appeared before us. I found out that she came from behind the tree with her friends who seem like cheering for her.

"I-I was waiting for you,Kanou-san. I-It is me, Moriyama Kaori. W-we are on the same class,ummm... Pl-please go out with me tomorrow!"

Kanou-kun was silent. I looked at the girl named Kaori and found out that she has the look of a soft-spoken lady and she is very formal, I bet she came from a traditional family.

"I-I-I'll be waiting for you here tomorrow, until the sun settles down! P-p-p-p-please excuse me!"

She ran away with her face that was really red. It gave me a hint on what she is planning to do. I admire her courage. I blink twice and look at Kanou-kun who was still silent. And I was shock to see that he was already frozen.

"K-Kanou-kun!? Get hold of yourself!"

And my voice echoed to the whole campus.

...

Class hours, I was listening to the teacher yet my mind was still thinking about the event a while ago. The red face Kaori-san and frozen Kanou-kun. I felt troubled about it.

It was now break time; I was walking on the hallway carrying two melon juices when three girls approached me.

"You are Yukimura-sempai right!?"

The girl in the centre asked which suddenly place her hand on my both shoulder which cause me to accidentally let go of the two juices. I nodded and smiled.

"Yes, I am. Is there something that I can do for you?"

I asked and the girls looked at each other while having their small signals. Their faces are familiar to me.

"We are Kaori's friends!"

"Uun?"

I tilted my head in confusion. Ah, I remember now, these girls are together with Kaori-san that was hiding behind the tree.

"We heard that you are the closest friend to Kanou-san. So we would like to ask your help to convince him to go out with Kaori."

"uh…"

I was paused for a moment. And honestly, I am hesitant to answer.

"B-but it wasn't for me to decide…"

The girl who was holding my shoulder drops her hand.

"It's just that… Kanou-san is Kaori's first love; we want to help her as her friend. So please! We asked your help Yukimura-sempai!"

They bowed their head in front of me. I felt bad to myself in the sight of it. It made me feel I became selfish.

"H-H-hey! Please lift your heads up! I get it! I get it! I'll… I'll do my best to talk to Kanou-kun about it."

"Yeeey!"

The girls jump out happily and they appeared to each other's palm.

"Thank you very much, Sempai!"

And they had their small bow again and ran away while waving their hands to me. I wave back and smiled with my eyebrows curve. When they were completely gone, I picked up the thing that I accidentally dropped and I looked at it, it was the two pairs of melon juice.

I am supposed to be glad because I manage to help my kouhai and I brought joy to them. But why…? My heart is in pain, it really hurts… I closed my eyes and clenched my chest.

...

Kanou-kun and I was on the way of delivering the papers to the student council. I couldn't bring myself to open the topic regarding Kaori-san. It's not that I do not want to, but because I do not know how to start.

"Is something bothering you, sempai?"

"Uhh… nothing, I think."

"Hmn… then I'll just ask you where you want to go tomorrow then…"

"H-heh? W-what about Kaori-san? You have to meet up with her tomorrow right?"

"What about you? I promise to hang out with you right?"

My heart skips a beat Kanou-kun is thinking about my wellbeing… My heart was starting to panic again as I had this thought. But I was glad to know that Kanou-kun is treasuring his promises. I shoved my head.

"Nnn, you do not have to worry about me Kanou-kun. We can have it on the other day anyway!"

"But…"

"Besides Kaori-san might be the right person to cure your fear of girls."

"…."

"Do not worry; I'll be cheering for you Kanou-kun!"

I force a smile, Kanou-kun let out a sigh.

"Fine..., I'll come but only if, Yukimura-sempai is coming with me."

He said while his eyes were hidden behind his light-reflected eyeglasses.

"Alright, I'll come if that's the only way I could convince you…"

I smiled. Not until I realized

"HEEEEh!? N-N-N-N-no! no! nO! I-I-I-I couldn't do that!"

"But sempai already said it…"

Kanou-kun said as he walks ahead of me and entered the student council room.

"T-that's quite mean! It shouldn't be like that! O-oy! Kanou-kun! Wait up!"

I exclaimed following him as I bloat my cheeks.

...

Tomorrow came

My soul was escaping from my mouth as I was walking beside Kanou-kun. We are now reaching the School's entrance gate. We saw Kaori leaning on the wall, waiting. Until her eyes caught us coming.

"Ah! Kanou-san!"

She smiled brightly and she runs towards Kanou-kun. She looks pretty as always, she was wearing a pink dress matched with a cute heart bling. She clipped her long black hair with ribbons at the sides.

"G-good morning, Kanou-sa-… Yukimura-sempai?"

Her bright smile slowly darkened when she saw me standing beside Kanou-kun and gave me confused look. It's like she was telling me to explain.

"ah..eh.. G-good morning, Kaori-san."

I tried to chuckle while my index finger was rubbing my cheeks. I wouldn't be surprise if she was surprise to see me. I shouldn't be here from the very beginning. Right, I must find an excuse for me to be out of the picture.

"Ahaha…I was going to the market to shop when I happened to meet Kanou-kun on the streets, so I'll head on my way now..."

"I see, please take care of yourself, Yukimura-sempai."

She said with the sign of relief.

I smiled wearily and I am now taking some few steps away.

"Errm."

Kanou-kun cleared his throat after he caught my back collar.

"Waah!"

"This guy is coming with us, if you wouldn't mind, Moriyama-san."

"Y-yes, I wouldn't mind. It's fun if it's the three of us."

"huh…"

There was sadness in her voice. I looked up to Kanou-kun and I couldn't imagine he was this dense.

As we walked on the streets, none of us started talking. I was on the middle and I keep glancing on the both of them. I really feel bad for coming along. So I think It's time for me to do something.

"I-if you two, does not know where to go, then I could suggest one place!"

"And what is it? Yukimura-sempai?"

Saori-san asked.

Dark room filled with flashing neon light, and crowd noise is all over the place. Different sound effects can be heard like "you win!" or taiko drums and whoooing. Yes, we are inside the –Arcade-. I was wearing my big smile as my eyes explore my surroundings until my sight met the two who was just standing.

I went behind and approached their backs trying to push them.

"c'mon what are you waiting for, aren't we supposed to have fun?"

Sweat slide from the side of my temple as I said 'we' which I shouldn't be part of.

I made them play dual games like zombie hunt.

Kaori was holding the toy-gun but she doesn't know how to use it. Her face looked worried. I sighed.

"K-Kanou-kun! How about helping Kaori-san?"

"Eh?"

They both exclaim with blushes on Kaori's face. Kanou-kun's eyes look at me and I just smiled teasingly.

"Alright, then…"

Kanou-kun pushes his eyeglasses and his eyes were hiding again. He went behind Kaori-san and assists her to hold the gun. I could see Kaori's face look nervous and had her cute smile.

I stared at them and they look perfect for each other. As I was having that thought I was having a hard grip on my gun... I wanted to run away.

"Are you ready? Yukimura-sempai?"

Kanou-kun's voice waked me up from my senses and flustered. I had my mini-heart attack and replied.

"Ah! Y-y-yes! I am."

My eyebrows curve as I face the monitor. I felt liked Kanou-kun was stared at me longer than before shifting his gaze to the screen.

The game began and tons of zombies came out, I could hear Kaori-san fret. It was difficult mode yet it was so fun. People from the Arcade began to surrounds us and started cheering. Until the final wave of zombie rushes in and the cheers went intense. And both at the same time we hit the final zombie together. The crowds wooed together with the mixed of whistles. The score was displayed we managed to defeat the top one highest score.

"We did it! Kanou-kun!"

I had my wide smile.

"Ah!"

He replied and smiled back at me.

"… s-shoudnt we try another game again?"

Kaori-san suddenly suggested. I guess she had fun too and wanted some more.

I smiled at her and nodded.

We different games, when it was versus game Kaori-san would cry in an instant defeat with Kanou-kun. And when it's me versus him, he gets gloomy lines in his defeat. I patted Kanou-kun's back and look at me as he loses the Kaori-san would then pull our arms and point another. Lastly, we went to the Purikura. It was a picture booth.

"I-2-3! Cheese!"

*Flashed*

The machine was now printing it out. Kaori-san pulled it out. Her eyes widen for a second then keep it from behind.

"C-can I keep it?"

She asked. I think she doesn't have any intentions of showing it. Or is maybe she was really happy to be on the same picture with Kanou-kun and wanted to keep it right away.

I smiled in agreement.

It was already night when we got out from the Arcade. I stretched out my arms.

"ohhh! Time surely flies inside the gamehouse, right?"

Kaori-san looked at Kanou-kun who nodded and smiled slightly.

"Y-yeah..."

She bowed down her head.

It was seven o' clock in the evening.

We are sitting on the bench facing the playground there was silence build up again which makes the night breeze much colder.

"waha! Did you enjoy? Kaori-san?"

"Umn."

"…"

She replied. I thought I could uplift the mood but I think I failed.

"Why did you bring us there? Yukimura-sempai?"

I was surprised to be asked by Kaori-san her voice seems tired. My eyes met kanou-kun's eye. I paused before I answered because I only had one answer in my mind.

"Because Kanou-kun and I used to hang out there!"

I had my small chuckles. Kanou-kun's eyes widen, and Kaori's shoulders stiffen.

I stood up.

"You two, wait here for a while, I'll just buy some beverages!"

I turn around and walk ahead.

After few meters, I reached the vending machine. I lean my hand on the glass and mirrored my reflection. I left them alone… I looked down my knees and it was shaking.

"… I wonder what drink I should buy…"

I grip my hand.

...

Kanou-kun and Kaori-san was still silent. Kaori-san was playing with her thumb.

"ahh..anou.. Kanou-san…"

"yes?"

Her heart skips a beat after hearing Kanou-kun's response.

"Since… there was only the two of us here.., there are lots of thing I wanted to say…"

". . And what is it?"

"You see… My family was quite old fashioned…"

She chuckled then continued.

"They wanted me to marry a man that I never knew… But I was really against it… and I was thinking that if I could show them that I am already dating someone, they might consider postponing it…"

"Ahh… so you were using me?"

"!?"

She suddenly stood up.

"I-it's not like that! I would never do that! I never dated someone because I don't feel anything for them but… K-kanou-kun is…"

Kanou-kun widens his eyes.

"Kanou-kun is…"

There were tears pouring from her eyes.

"You are my first love! I LOVE YOU!"

Kanou-kun gulped down as his eyeballs were trembling the moment he heard that.

*CLANG!CLANG!CLANG!*

Simultaneous drop of a metal cans was heard. They both look were it come from. It belongs here,to where I was standing. I was stun; I am having a hard time to react.

"a-a-ah! S-sorry to intervene! I-I-I forgot my change on the vending machine!"

I take few steps backward and I was about to trip but I managed to turn and run away.

"Yukimura-sempai!"

Kanou-kun was about to follow when Kaori-san called his named.

"K-kanou-san!"

Kanou-kun stopped and looked at Kaori-back.

Aargh! I hate myself! Why am I running! And there is no way I could get change from vending machine!

My steps were slowly getting smaller and I fall down to my knees. I could see water drops from the ground. Was it my tears? I faced my palm and I could feel my tears landing on my skin.

…Why?

…Kanou-kun…

…someone is going to take him now…

…why?

….why Am I crying?

… Why does it hurt? ... So much…

I covered my face with both of my hands.

Kaori-san was now standing behind Kanou-kun.

"Kaori-san…"

Kaori clenched both of her hand on her chest.

"I couldn't return your feelings…"

Kaori-san bit her lips then loosens her clenched and drops her hand.

"but.. may... I know why…?"

Kanou-kun grip his hand.

" … I already loved someone…"

Then he run-away.

"I knew that would say that… I'm glad to realize that earlier… "

Kaori-san gazed at her as he runs away. She picks up something on her pocket it was the purikura picture.

"…In this picture Kanou-kun was having his gentle look staring at Yukimura-sempai cuddly smile…"

...

I am now walking in this dark streets

"I think I should just go home…"

I was wiping my tears when I bump into someone.

"Kora! Watch out you way will yah!?"

"!?"

It was a group of delinquent men.

"I-I-I I am very sorry!*

I bowed down but the man grab my cheek and press it which makes my lips to pout.

"look,look what we have here. A cute girl! Wahahahaha! Did you bump me on purpose to hitch me!?"

The man had his wicked laugh.

"I-I am sorry! You got it all wrong! I am boy!"

"You might be boyish! But that is my type! Come with me! Let's play! Wahahaha!"

The guy was grabbing my arms when somebody holds his wrist.

"Let go of her."

"huuh!?"

The man looks at the person who holds his wrist. I also looked at the person; he has this blonde hair with white bandana on his head. His height was fair and he was wearing a light purple shirt and a necklace. His eyes were fierce filled with bravery.

I think I saw him before… My eyes widen as I remembered.

'this person' was also a delinquent who brought his whole gang in front of our school gate and kidnapped me once!

Ah! He is Gouki Aratake, the strongest delinquent in Seisen Middle School!
