My New Best Friend

Welcome to the club, Hinata. She will be the first of many Ocs that I'll put in this story.

-...-

"Akemi!" Kukai yelled to the girl.

Akemi was presently walking to school, as Kukai caught up to her. She froze. "Err… Hi Souma-san." She answered awkwardly.

Kukai stopped and turned her around so she faced him. "Akemi, what's wrong?" he asked.

Akemi stood still. "…Err…"

Kukai frowned. "Hey! What's wrong with you Akemi?" he yelled, shaking the girl.

Akemi realized that Kukai was holding her, and roughly pushed him away. "Gomen-ne, Souma-san." She said quietly, furrowing her eyebrows.

Kukai sighed. "I don't get you, Akemi." He said. "You give me mixed signals."

"I just… can't Souma-san." She whispered.

Kukai nodded. "I really don't want it to be that way, Akemi." He said, obviously determined.

Akemi stayed silent. Suddenly Kukai pulled her close to him. "Make up your mind Akemi." he whispered before clashing his lips unto her's.

Akemi stood fazed. "S-Souma-kun…" she stuttered, touching her lips.

Kukai winked. "No matter what you choose." He said. "Just don't forget me in the process."

"KAWAII!" A blonde haired girl said watching them.

Both Akemi and Kukai sweat dropped. "Who the heck are you?" Kukai suddenly yelled, pointing a finger at the girl.

The blue eyed girl smiled. "My name is Hinata Tachibana." She said.

Akemi clapped her hands together as if she remembered something. "Oh," she said. "You must be the new exchange student."

Hinata nodded. "I hail from the far land of New York." She said twirling around in a circle.

"I see," Akemi said calmly. "You must have had a hard time getting here." She said.

"Nope!" Hinata said excitedly. "It only took a simple plane ride to get to Tokyo."

Kukai glared. "Why didn't you just stay in New York?" He asked bitterly.

Hinata stared in amazement at Kukai. "You have a pretty girlfriend." She said randomly.

Kukai twitched. "What the heck."

Hinata suddenly bowed. "I hope we have a great year together." She said as if nothing had previously happened.

Akemi bowed, sweat dropping. "Err, me too, Hinata-san."

"Hey!" Kukai suddenly yelled. "Why don't you call me by my first name?" he asked irritated.

Akemi rolled her eyes. "Come on Hinata-san, Souma-kun, we'll be late for school if we don't get going." She said.

-...-

Kukai continued to secretly glare at Hinata every time Akemi wasn't looking. They were at her house, after a long day of school.

"Is something wrong Kukai-kun?" Hinata finally asked.

Kukai shook his head, then closed his eyes and fell back to the floor. While Kukai was lying down he spotted something under the bed.

Akemi saw Kukai and quickly took the object. "Were you looking at this?" she asked holding the picture up.

Kukai nodded.

"What's that?" Hinata asked excitedly.

Akemi happily turned the picture around. "It's a picture of me and my fiance Arthur." She said. In fact, it was a picture of Akemi in a white sundress, having tea with a boy her age.

Kukai furrowed his eyebrows. 'Fiance?' he thought to himself.

"Wow, he's adorable!" Hinata said staring happily at the smiling golden haired, brown eyed boy.

Kukai turned away. "Whatever…" he said lying back down on the floor.

"So how is he?" Hinata asked excitedly.

Akemi looked at her weirdly. "What?"

Hinata sighed. "Is he nice, sweet, smart?" she asked, leaning in with every word.

Akemi blushed. "W-well," she said. "…He's really sweet and smart, cool, kind, and he's really good at sports."

Hinata tilted her head to the side. "He's sounds a lot like Kukai-kun." She stated.

Both Kukai and Akemi looked at Hinata. "I'm nothing like Arthur." Kukai said bitterly.

Hinata giggled. "Deniaaal." She sang.

Akemi flushed and got up. "I-I'll go get some more tea!" she said rushing out of the room.

Hinata smirked when Akemi closed the door. "Kukai and Akemi sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" she said happily.

Kukai blushed. "Shut up," he said throwing a pillow at her. "Do you think I control my feelings?"

Hinata took the pillow and started balancing it on her head. "That's what makes this situation more and more fun!" she said.

Kukai groaned. "I can't do this anymore." He said. "I have to tell her how I feel."

Hinata sighed. "But I just got into this story." She said. "OH! Ask Akemi-chan out on a date!"

Kukai raised an eyebrow. "Do you know my chances of her saying yes?" he asked. "Plus she has that stupid Arthur to marry."

Hinata shook her head. "Kukai, you're like the most popular kid in our school." She said. "And forget Arthur, if Akemi falls in love with you, she can just cancel the engagement."

Kukai shrugged. "I doubt it." He mumbled.

Hinata clapped her hands together. "Flirt with her!" she yelled. "Flirt with her till she can see red in her eyes!"

Kukai sweat dropped. "I don't really think that'll-"

"Do it or forever live with the fact that Akemi will marry someone else." Hinata said calmly.

Kukai remained silent.

At that moment, Akemi walked in. "Since it's cold out, I made hot chocolate before you two go home." She said.

Once she sat down it became silent.

"So… what did you guys talk about while I was gone?"

Kukai chuckled. "Nothing much." He said happily.

Akemi looked at Kukai weirdly. "Souma-kun, have you eaten anything weird today?" she asked.

Kukai shook his head and grinned lightly. "You just make me so happy." He said softly.

Akemi blushed. "Souma-kun, you're acting very weird." She said.

Kukai put his arm around Akemi's shoulder. "I just think you're being too conservative." He said.

Hinata got up, smiling to herself. "Well, I have to get home before my dad freaks out." She said.

Akemi sighed. "Wanna take the limo?" she asked. "It's not like I use it."

"Nope!"

Hinata slammed the door on her way out.

Kukai quickly fell down to the floor, taking Akemi along with him. "I'm so tired." He said simply.

Akemi groaned. "Kukai, get off of me."

"Aw," Kukai said. "But it's so cold in here."

"Use a blanket."

Suddenly, Kukai pinned Akemi down to the floor. "Somebody's nervous." He said.

Akemi blushed. "N-no I'm not!" she said, suddenly becoming frantic.

Kukai smirked. "Oh really," he said. "Then why are you so tense, Akemi-chan?" he asked.

Akemi flushed. "D-Don't call me that." She said.

Odaijini giggled happily in her half opened egg.

Kukai rolled his eyes. "You are in no position to speak to me that way." He said.

Akemi raised an eyebrow. "Let me go, Souma-kun." She said.

Kukai shook his head. "You can't make me." He said.

Akemi smirked. "I didn't want to hurt you, Souma-kun." She said. In a slip second, Akemi turned around her position with Kukai.

"What did I tell you?" Akemi asked.

Kukai grinned. "You know, I can easily pin you down again." He said.

"Yeah right," Akemi said. "Let's see you try-"

Suddenly, Kukai pinned Akemi to a wall. "Told ya." He said happily.

Akemi glared. "Let me go, Souma-kun." She said.

Instead of answering, Kukai kissed her. "You-can't-make-me." He said softly, before kissing Akemi again.

Akemi pushed Kukai back. "Sorry Souma-kun, it's not that I don't like you," Akemi said. "It's just that, every time…"

Kukai got a worried look on his face. "Akemi… tell me why." He said.

Akemi tilted her head to the side. "What?" she asked.

"Why do you keep leaving me in the dark like this?" Kukai asked.

Akemi shook her head. "You know Kukai, people leave you," she said. "No matter how much you love them, they always find some way to leave you."

Suddenly, a blue eyed, blue hair boy pranced in. "Akemi-chan, bonjour, comment vas-tu?" he asked.

Akemi stared wide-eyed. "Anthony, what are you doing here in Tokyo?" she asked.

Before Anthony could answer, Hinata hopped in through the window in her black orb transformation. "I want to meet the prince too!" she yelled.

Hinata then realized what she did. "Hehe… whoops…" she mumbled.

-...-

"W-Wait! He's the prince of France?" Kukai widened his eyes, pointing at Anthony, who just looked at him confusedly.

Akemi nodded slowly. "Yeah..." she mumbled. "And he's not suppose to leave the country grounds."

Anthony smiled. "But I had to see you Akemi-chan!" he said happily as he wrapped his arms around the purple eyed girl. "Akemi-chan daisuki!"

Kukai felt himself getting jealous.

"What's your relationship with Akemi, anyway?" Hinata asked for him.

Anthony sat there for a while, as if he was pondering his answer. "Akemi is my best friend! We used to sleep together, and take baths together, and I use to kiss her all my time-"

"Anthony," Akemi said flicking Anthony's head. "Don't make stuff up."

-...-
