I apologize everyone! I've been extremely busy with school since it's my senior year and homework had taken over my life. Seriously! There have been quite a few days where I've come home and done homework for nine hours straight! But I've finally found a chance to write the next chapter and I'm taking it. In other words, I'm not gone, I haven't stopped writing, I've just been unable to write, because of homework. I apologize and I hope you can all understand why I've been unable to update the story recently.

Lol, we'll see what happens to Harry. I'm sure Luna will have a revenge plot up her sleeve. As for Luna and Lara, I think that them being rivals will be obvious, but that plot point won't appear until season 2. (25 chapters a season.)

Soaring Crow Ver2.0 2011-09-04 . chapter 22

Well I'd rather choose Akira far than Eri. I just don't like her. She's a kind of girl who directly jump into conclusions. How can he suddenly fell over for Harima because he unacidentally confessed to her, mistakingly her as Tenma? And he even looking bad on Mikoto. Uh, talk about worse personality. I wish there some bashing, but oh well.I'm following the manga, and felt so adapted to it than from the anime. So since the beginning, I'm only saw Eri as a character who come from nowhere in the later chapters. And what makes it worst is she's so arrogant and look-down to any people. Honest speaking, Yakumo is fits far better for Harima than Eri..Sorry i rambling too much. These are my reviews! I'd love to know what this Ami and Chika looks like. Could it be they meant for Hiro and Kiyo? And it seems Kiyo have some kind of a bitter past with a girl, isn't he?Just some suggestions, maybe you could include charas appearance in the fic. Because my image for the OCs are starting to blurred, and forgot what are they looks ..that was long. Update, and keep up the great work!~Crow

I decided to only respond to your most recent review. And I also like Akira over Eri, but I like to keep the story as canon as possible. That's why Harima still danced with Eri. And yes, Kiyoshi had a bitter past with a girl… this will become important later on, so keep a note on that. Thanks for the review.

Daichi's House, The Weekend

Daichi had set up a date with Riku, do to the fact that they hadn't gone anywhere nice together for a while. Daichi had saved his money and he was going to meet her tonight. He dressed in a nice button up shirt and slacks. As he ran downstairs, he ran into his mom, who was in a dress.

"Hello Daichi." said his mom.

"Hello mom."

She quickly brushed her hair.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"You look great."

"Thank you. You don't need to worry about Yoshi, because I'm having grandma baby sit him. I'll be gone for a few hours. You have fun on your date too son."

"Thank you. Goodbye mom."

Daichi left the house, and his mom stayed inside, because she was going to get picked up. As he turned the corner, and headed to Riku's house, a car came passing him, turning onto his street. Daichi figured it was his mom's date and continued to walk. He then thought for a bit and realized that it looked a lot like the car in front of Riku's house. This bothered Daichi as he continued to walk, but he decided to put it out of his mind, figuring that it could have been someone else.

Riku's House, A Few Minutes Earlier

"I'll be out for a while." said her father.

Riku nodded as her dad put on his shoes and grabbed the car keys.

"Don't burn down the house while I'm gone." he said jokingly.

Riku laughed and waved goodbye as her father left the house. As soon as he left, she quickly headed up the stairs and got ready for Daichi to pick her up. They would be walking, but she really didn't mind as long as she was with him. She hadn't told her dad yet and she felt guilty for it, but she knew how her dad was and he would shun Daichi before he even got a chance to meet her. She knew that he just wanted to protect her, but she couldn't let that get in the way of her love. As soon as she had finished getting ready, there was a knock on the door. She opened it to find Daichi.

"Hello." she said.

"Hello. You look beautiful tonight." he noted.

"Thank you." she said with a smile.

The two then headed out the door, in order to go to their restaurant.

At The Restaurant

"Who thought of calling this place 'The Restaurant?'" asked Daichi.

"I have no idea." said Riku.

The two simply shrugged and went into the building. They were met by a greeter.

"Do you two have a reservation?" she asked.

Daichi nodded.

"Daichi Tanaka and Riku Fujii." he said.

The greeter checked the list and smiled.

"Right this way." she said, as she gestured for them to follow her.

The two headed off with her and were soon placed in their seats.

"Thank you." they both said to the greeter.

"You're waiter will be here soon." she assured them.

The two then looked at each other and began to talk.

On the Other Side of the Restaurant

Daichi's mom and Riku's dad were sitting together, also waiting for their waiter to come. The two talked for a while.

"Daichi Tanaka and Riku Fujii."

The two parents looked up at this. They then stared at each other awkwardly.

"Is something the matter, Sakura?" asked Riku's dad.

"Nothing, Tatsuya." said Daichi's mom. (Sakura)

Sakura and Tatsuya then attempted to look over to see who said the names of their children. At that moment the waiter walked in front of them, obstructing their view of the two people. By the time they did order and the waiter left, the two were on the other side of the restaurant, where they couldn't see the two. They simply sighed and went back to talking to each other.

A Few Hours Later

Daichi and Riku had finished their meal. The two then went outside of the restaurant, bought an ice cream and sat on the bench.

"Thanks for the date." said Riku.

"The pleasure was mine." said Daichi.

The two then looked at each other, eyes completely staring into each others. Their lips met and they kissed. Riku opened her eyes as they did and saw her father and a woman with her. She quickly pulled her face away from him.

"Dad…" was all that she could say.

"What're you doing here, Riku?" asked her father.

"I-"

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" he asked.

Riku sat quietly. Daichi stood up.

"Sit back down." he said, looking at Daichi.

Daichi sat back down, not wanting to get Riku in trouble. The two looked at each other. Daichi quickly worded "That's my mom." to Riku and she nodded, getting the message. Her father then grabbed her arm and tugged her away.

"You are never to see that boy again!"

"But dad…"

"He's trouble!"

Riku's father stopped to talk to Daichi's mom.

"I apologize for having to leave on such sort notice."

"It's fine…" she said, not really paying attention to him.

"Goodbye, Sakura."

The two then walked away and Daichi came up to his mom.

"I'm sorry for ruining your day, mom." he said.

"No, it's ok, Daichi." she said.

The two then began to head home. Sakura now wondered if Tatsuya even realized that Daichi was her son. As they walked, Daichi wondered how he would prove himself to Riku's father; all he wanted was to be with her.

At Riku's House

"You're wrong about him, dad…" said Riku.

"I don't want to here it," he said. "You're far too young to be wandering around places with a boy."

"But-"

"No buts." he said. "I just want to make sure you're safe."

"Dad, there's something I-"

"I need to go to sleep… I have work tomorrow. Good night, Riku."

Riku simply sighed. She knew that there was no convincing him of anything. Once his mind was set, there was no way of changing it. What concerned her most was that her dad was dating her boyfriends mom. This was not good at all; she needed to do something. A plan formed in her mind; she would wait for a day when her dad was in a good mood, then ask him to give Daichi a chance. She then headed up to her room in order to get some sleep.

Yagami High School, Class 2B Homeroom, Lunch

Riku sat at her desk, listening to Ami and Chika talking about boys. Hiroshi and Kiyoshi were messing around with Kaz, and Luna had just came back from who knows where. Daichi was no where to be seen. Riku sighed, as it was her only chance at all that she can spend time with him; while they were at school.

"Hello Riku." said Luna, as she came up to her to sit down.

Riku simply waved.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

Riku sighed and began explaining the events that took place last night.

"It's ok," said Luna reassuringly, "I'm sure things will work out. Daichi is a great guy, so there's no reason your dad should hate him. He just needs to get to know Daichi is all."

"Do you know where Daichi is anyway?" she asked.

Luna shook her head. Riku sighed. Mr. Sato then walked into the room and informed everyone that it was time for class to start back up.

After School

Riku began to walk home, still wondering where Daichi had gone. Did he get sick? Was he too sad to see her now? She simply sighed and continued walking home. When she finally reached her house, she came in and began to do her homework. As she attempted some math equations, she soon found herself throwing all of her work to the side. It was impossible to concentrate; all she wanted to do was talk to Daichi. Her father soon came home and went straight up to her room. He looked at his daughter, sitting depressed on her bed. He sighed.

"Riku… I was wrong about that boy. You can continue to see him. Anyone that dedicated to make sure that you two are still together must really care about you."

Riku smiled. She ran up and hugged her dad.

"Thank you dad! But what made you change your mind?" she asked.

He smiled.

"You should ask him tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Her father simply smiled and left the room. Riku was now filled with happiness. She went back to her homework, anticipating tomorrow; being able to be with Daichi again.
