THIS CHAPTER WAS ADJUSTED AS WELL, IT WAS RUSHED AS WELL, AND I HOPE IT'S EASIER TO UNDERSTAND. I DONOT OWN OOFURI BUT I DO OWN THE PLOT AND EXTRA CHARACTERS!

Kenkyona sips her juicebox and turns her head to spot Takaya staring out the window in the hallway. He looks mesmerized. She sips all the juice out throws it away and heads towards him. She leans her head out the window to face him.

"does someone need a kissie for their booboo?" she teases him with a kissie face.

He looks at her and chuckles. "nah.."

She blinks and sits on the window. She looks where he's staring at and sees Mihashi pitching rocks to a tree. Theyre both silent for a moment. But she breaks it with a conversation starter. "Hes interesting" she says staring at Mihashi.

Takaya looks up at her and then looks at Mihashi again. "yeah, he works really hard, I kind of admire him I guess." he says shrugging."That idiot...I told him not to practice pitching outside the team's practice."

"Hes kind of cute," she says giggling at his reaction to her intertwining fingers thing.

Takaya hesitates a moment. "do you like him?" he asks.

Kenkyona blushes a bit but then recovers. " I dont even know him." she laughs." Is...he better than Haruna?"

Takaya sighs."He has better control than that bastard ever did, Im just glad he doesnt throw off my signs. In fact he hits them perfectly."

Kenkyona smiles. It almost seems as though Takaya is in love with him. Kenkyona hops off the window. "well anyways im mad at you so im going to my afternoon classes." She starts to walk.

Takaya grits his teeth and grabs her hand. "what the hell? What is wrong with you! Cant you see-" He stops midsentence. No, he cant. He cant confess just yet.

Kenkyona stands there. "see what?" she asks confused.

They hear a teacher's footsteps and then seperate. The teacher lowers his glasses examining them, "get to your afternoon classes." He warns them and walks.

Kenkyona and Takaya bow as he leaves.

Kenkyona then walks after the teacher flustered. Takaya walks the other direction.

After school Kenkyona goes to class 9 since she was told that Hamada has that class. He must be the leader. She slides the doors to find a busy classroom, she spots the only person who stands out (since he has a mitt)

mihashi. She blushes then turns her attention to the person who called out her name.

" hey its kenkyona!" yells Tajima ever so loud as always.

Izumi whips around. " Oh hey what brings you here?" he asks.

Hamada on the other side of izumi, sowing a banner lifts up his head. "kenkyona eh? Ah! youre that girl who wants to join the cheering squad." He says congratulating himself.

2 other boys pop out behind him. " no way, a girl cheerleader!" They look at her blushing with starry eyes.

Kenkyona's sweat drops. " well I was kind of asked to join."

She says still flustered from earlier.

Tajima after a while of pure silence,(which is really weird of him.)Suddenly suggests, "kenkyona, do you wanna go out?"

Mihashi, Izumi, and Hamada both drop in shock, from Tajima's bold move. "gah!" they say.

"What?" She says also shocked, "may I ask why?" She asks.

"im just playing!" He exclaims, with a big grin. They all sigh relaxed. "Call me Yuuichiro, I like hot babes calling me by my first name, it gives me a reason to masturbate!"

Kenkyona hesitates a moment. "Kay.." She thinks about, she'll make it sound cuter. "Well im off now, see ya , Yuu-chan!(Tajima's first name)"She says and slides the door closed. That was so weird, she thinks,but I like Yuu-chan! She walks proudly to class.

On her way home, Kenkyona spots a dog rummaging through the trash. She picks it up. "hey there!" she spoils it as she looks for the collar. "Awwee, you look just like Taka-chan! An grouchy face, but an adorable personality!" she squeals happily, as it wags it tail.

Kenkyona enters the temple with the dog. "Reira! Look doesnt this little puppy need a home? Can I keep him! Pleaaaaaassssseeeee!" she exclaims already throwing a tantrum.

"alright, just until his owner appears, alright?" she says washing the dishes.

"Kay! Im going to name him Taka-chin!" She squeals jumping onto her bed. She strokes Taka-chin as she tries to determine what happened today. Takaya confessed! She practically squeezes Taka-chin.

"I dont get it Taka chin! I think I might like Taka-chan, but why do I feel like Im cheating on someone?" She lifts Taka-chin in the air. "Do you think I could have feelings for Mihashi-kun?"

Taka chin begins to bark,as if he despises Mihashi. Nununnuununu!,he must be thinking.

Kenkyona sighs and laughs.

The next day, Kenkyona is practically avoiding Takaya. She jolts each time she hears his voice or even sees him.

Takaya notices and plays along to her ignorance game. Kenkyona cant stand it anymore and breaks the awkward tension. "Taka-chaaaaaaaan!"

Takaya bonks her head with a book. "Shut up!Youre so fucking loud!"He sighs.

"I-im sorry." Kenkyona bows blushing. Takaya sets the book down.

Kenkyona sits next to him and hugs him. "I think I might like you Taka-chan!" She lets go of him."But, there's this boy, that I cant stop thinking about,"She pulls her bangs back. "And, I have a feeling that...he.."She flashes back to 1st grade,after her mother's death.

"That he might be mihashi."He suggests,knowingly, he is the only other person that knows about Kenkyona's past.

Kenkyona looks at Takaya,tense, a bit scared. "Is he?"she asks.

"You'll have to find out."He says laying back. "Have you even asked him?"

She looks down. "I havent even had a full conversation with him."

Takaya chuckles."Dont take it personally, it's hard to converse with Mihashi, considering how he has absolutely no self confidence."

"Really?"She asks. "How?"

"His teammates treated him like crap, made him think that the reason why they lost all their games was because of his lack of talent. Its actually because of his catcher's lack of cooperation with his pitcher."

Kenkyona thinks about it. Their stories are similiar theyre both due to their lack of cooperation. She feels that maybe it's fate that brought Takaya and Mihashi together. "Oh..." She realizes that Mihashi let an event change him just like her. She wonders if he's ever thought about changing...

The next day, during practice, Kenkyona spots mihashi franticly trying to scrub a baseball. She scurries towards him, and scooches right next to him.

She doesn't say anything she just sits there smiling. Mihashi jolts and blushes. "h-hi,"he says with his little face.

Kenkyona giggles and looks at the baseball. "oh, are you scrubbing the base balls?"she asks.

"mhm! Except, this one has a tough stain."He stares at it.

Kenkyona examines it. "ah! Can I see it?" she asks.

Mihashi hands her the baseball.

She grabs the white out, and sprays the baseball. "ha! See? The paint was scratched off!"

She smiles happily at him, he blushes and tries to smile back."I-im Mihashi r-ren."

Kenkyona remembers how Takaya had told her that Mihashi has no self confidence because pf how his team treated him. If Mihashi is the boy from her past, could she also be part of the reason?

"Im Kenkyona Koetsuji, nice to meet you!"She smiles just as Chiyo introduces herself.
