Chapter 1

Enter Kamiya

Takuya Kanbara sighed as he lay back on the tree branch. He was beyond tired. He was downright exhausted. Kouji had dragged him off to a kendo match...again. But this time, instead of just letting him catch up on his sleep through this one as he had the ones in the past, the announcer had selected someone out of the audience to participate in the competition also. Of course, who had they picked? Takuya, without a doubt. He had barely won his first three matches out of sheer fear for his life. But when he got to his fourth match, he had lost, almost willingly. He was glad though, for now that he didn't have to compete, he was free to sleep until Kouji's matches came up, when he would awaken and watch them, and then fall back asleep. Or so was the plan.

"Takuya? Is that you?" a male voice called out from behind him.

"Oh! Hey, Makano." Takuya said, scooting over to make room for his classmate.

Makano scooted in next to Takuya, and another boy and a girl followed him. Takuya's eyes widened at the sight of the girl, and once Makano saw the glance, he blushed, and turned away. Takuya simply laughed, making Makano's blush grow a brighter red.

"And, who is this?" Takuya asked, trying to take Makano's mind off of things.

"U-Um...This is Arisa Ogawa. You may know her from school, Takuya." Makano explained, motioning toward the girl sitting next to him.

"Yeah, I know her. Hey, Arisa." Takuya said with another laugh.

"Hiya, Takuya!! I never dreamed I'd see you here! I didn't even know you liked kendo." Arisa said with a smile.

"Well, I have a close friend who's fighting in the matches today." Takuya quickly explained.

Even though Takuya and Kouji had been dating for a good almost two years now, no one knew about their relationship, with much luck. They simply referred to each other as "close friends".

"Who's the other guy?" Takuya asked.

"Oh! This is my cousin, Daisuke Motomiya." Makano said quickly.

Takuya extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Daisuke." He said.

"Nice to meet you too." Daisuke responded, taking the boy's hand in his own and shaking it.

"And now, in the next match, and the final one, the contestants are...KOUJI MINAMOTO and KAMIYA LEE IGUNO!" the announcer cried out.

The audience erupted into cheers for the last two contestants. Takuya was shocked. He had no idea that Kouji had so many fans. He also had no idea why the other contestant's name sounded so familiar. Kouji and Iguno walked to their assigned sides and prepared for the fight. Then, a shot rang out, and the two rushed at each other. Takuya sat on the edge of his seat the whole match. He was horrified. This girl was good! Kouji didn't really stand much of a chance, yet he still held his own up until the very last second, in which Iguno dealt Kouji a devastating blow to his shoulder, sending him sprawling. Takuya stood, tears threatening to fall from his eyes in fear at any given second, and watched as the announcer proclaimed the girl the winner. As she stretched out a hand to help the raven haired boy up, he simply scoffed and brushed it off, then walked off the field.

"Couldn't he have at least been polite?" Daisuke spat.

"Ah, give him a break. He's had a hard day. Then to get beat by a girl?" Makano said.

"I resent that..." Arisa said with a glare.

Takuya smiled at how easily the two could show their affections in public as they hugged and kissed. He hid his jealousy well. But deep down inside his heart, he hated the fact that all the other couples that surrounded him and Kouji could just hug and kiss and all without a second thought of the people around them. He sighed, then felt an arm wrap around his shoulders.

"Something the matter Kanbara?" Arisa asked.

"Nah." Takuya said, shaking his head to both sides. "Just kinda tired is all. But I am supposed to be meeting Kouji down there in a bit, so I'd better get going."

"Oh! Take Care!" Arisa said.

"I'll see you on Monday, Kanbara, okay?" Makano said.

"Alright. Se ya!" Takuya said.

With a wave, he was off. Soon, the sound of running footsteps and someone calling his name was to be heard all around Takuya. He turned around to see Daisuke running to catch up with him.

"Hi, Takuya. Can I call you that?" he asked.

"Sure, but only if I can call you Daisuke." Takuya said.

"Deal. So anyway, I have a question, as long as I'm not imposing." Daisuke said.

"Go ahead." Takuya said, unsure of just what the boy's question could be.

"Are you and that Kouji guy dating?" Daisuke asked.

Takuya froze and looked at the boy. How did he figure it out? Now there was no sense in hiding the obvious fact, so he simply nodded, a blush spreading across his pale face. Daisuke just laughed.

"Thought so." He said. "I noticed the way you looked at him, and I had my suspicions, but in the end, it was the look you had on your face when he got that last blow that gave it away. Don't think I'm gonna hate you or anything for this. In fact, I have a boyfriend myself. Here, let me show you a picture."

Daisuke pulled out his wallet and produced a picture of himself and a boy with shoulder length hair that was straight and a bluish-greyish-purpleish-blackish color. The two were smiling, and they were sitting on some school bleachers in soccer uniforms. The taller boy with the darker hair had his arm wrapped tightly around Daisuke, and their hands were clasped between them. Daisuke had his head resting on the other's chest and his eyes were closed. It looked as if he were about to go to sleep. The taller, with his right arm resting around the Daisuke and his left hand in Daisuke's right also had his eyes closed, but he looked more content than tired. Takuya smiled.

"That's a nice picture. What's his name?" Takuya asked.

"Ken Ichijouji. We have been dating for around three years." Daisuke stated with a smile.

"Wow. It sounds like you two are rather happy." Takuya said.

"Yeah, we really are." Daisuke responded.

"Oh! Who are you here to see?" Takuya asked.

"I need to see Kamiya for some things. I have a message for her to relay to her...boyfriend. Plus, it's been a while since we actually sat down and talked, so we need to catch up too." Daisuke said with a smile.

"How long have you known Kamiya?" Takuya asked.

"I lost count." Daisuke said. "Why, do you know her?"

"No, but her name does sound really familiar..." Takuya said.

"Ah, well I gotta get going. It was really great meeting you!! Good luck with your boyfriend, 'kay?" Daisuke said.

"Same to you! Bye!" Takuya waved at Daisuke as the boy ran off.

He slowly walked toward where he knew Kouji would be backstage. Unfortunately, as much as he may have tried, there was no way he could ever get back to where Kouji was, since he couldn't fight his way through the crowd of screaming fangirls. In the end, he wound up sitting in a tree, waiting for Kouji, which is where he lay now, and thinking back on the events of the day.

Unfortunately, when he had gotten up onto the branch, he had underestimated his own weight. Now, he heard a cracking noise and began to panic. The branch snapped suddenly under him, and he began to fall. He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth and simply waited for the pain of the ground. But the ground never came. Someone had grabbed him by the back of his jacket, and how he hung, suspended in mid-air, staring at the ground from at least twenty feet up.

"Thanks Kouji." Takuya said with a sigh of relief, letting out the breath that he was unaware he had been holding.

He turned around to face who he thought was Kouji. Instead, staring back at him was the Champion Girl Kamiya. He gaped.

"You really should be more careful, Kanbara." She said, climbing down enough to lower him onto his feet. Then, she too jumped down.

"Yeah I know I just....Waitaminute...how'd you know my name? They never said it at the match!" Takuya said, shocked.

With a flip of her blonde, blue-streaked hair, she smiled and laughed.

"Don't tell you don't even remember your old childhood friend Kamiya, Takuya?" She pulled on a puppy dog pouty face. "Oh, now I feel hurt!"

"Kamiya...Kamiya...KAMIYA?!?!?!?! No way!! That can't be you!! You're too grown up!!" he screamed, hugging her tightly.

"Well, I am 16 now, you dunce! It's been nine years!" she said. "You don't look any different though. Still got those goggles and gloves I gave you, I see."

"Yeah," Takuya replied with a bright blush. "But man. Who would've thought, huh? I haven't seen you since you were seven!"

Kamiya took off his hat and ruffled his hair. "And you, my friend, were five. You were adorable, love. Not like you're not now, but..." Kam was cut short by Takuya's next comment.

"Hey, where'd that accent come from? You left with that Osakan accent you've always had, but now you have a stronger accent. I've only heard that kind of an accent come from one place! Where have you been, anyway?" Takuya asked her.

"America! First, I lived all over Japan, and then we moved to America, where I lived in nearly every state for at least a couple months. From there, I told dad I didn't want to stay with him anymore, so I went with mom to France and then Germany and England, but then I got tired of being with mom all the time, and I got a job, so I saved up my money, and now I'm back here!" She explained. "At first, I was just moving because of my parents' work, but now I have a job to do too. I have some people I have to protect."

"No way! You've really been to all those places? No wonder you have an accent! That's amazing!!" Takuya said.

"It's not all that great." Kam began. "I mean come on. You never get to make friends, because even when you do, you have to leave them. You can never truly get close to anyone. You end up making horrible grades, can't keep a steady job, and get into fights constantly because no matter what, your reputation of beating the crap outta people that piss ya off won't follow ya, so you're safe."

Takuya stood there, wide eyed. He had had no idea just what all Kamiya had gone through since she left. He also had no idea that she was now crying. Kamiya stood and ran a quick hand across her eyes. Then she looked at Takuya with a smile. She hadn't wanted to upset him in any way. She just wanted to correct him on his ideas about just what life was like when you keep moving. Now, all she wanted to do was talk to Takuya and catch up a bit.

"So, how have you been since I left?" she asked.

"Great! Well, mostly great. But hey, I've even found myself a lover." Takuya said, puffing out his chest in pride.

Kamiya gaped. "You, little Taku-chan-chan...A LOVER????" she said.

Kamiya put a hand on her forehead. "Now I have truly seen it all. Well, who's the lucky girl?"

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes next to where Takuya was standing. He jumped, and Kamiya backed away. As she did, however, she managed to trip on a rock and land flat on her ass behind another bush. Kouji walked out of the bushes and smile at Takuya. He walked over to the boy and hugged him, running a hand through the chestnut hair and nipping at the boy's neck.

"Hey, baby. Look, I'm really sorry I didn't get the chance to see you right after the match. Damn fangirls came in flocks. I really only wanted to see one fan." Kouji muttered, lifting up Takuya's head with two fingers under his chin.

Right as the two were about to kiss however, there was a loud "awwwwwww" behind them. The two whirled around and Kouji pulled Takuya closer, as if to protect the brunette. Takuya grasped Kouji tighter as well. Kamiya walked out of the bush, her hands clasped tightly together and an adorable look of love on her face.

"Is this the lover you were talking about, Taku-chan-chan?" Kam asked.

Takuya nodded, blushing wildly, and buried his head in Kouji's chest. He took a deep sniff. Smelled like...Kouji. Simply Kouji. This was enough to make anyone's head spin. Kamiya approached the two and ruffled Takuya's hair a little bit.

"Hello, Minamoto-kun. You fight well." Kamiya said with a joy-filled smile.

Kouji let his normal frown set back in as he muttered a quick thanks. Kam grew a confused look on here face. She cocked her head to the side, and then shrugged, putting back on her smile. She extended her hand for Kouji to shake. He reached out, scowling, just long enough to brush it away again. Kam put her hands on her hips and frowned.

"You don't have to be so rude about it. I was just trying to be polite!" Kam spat.

"I don't consider it rude, and I certainly don't consider you polite." Kouji's reply was harsh.

"What the hell do you mean by that, you bastard?" Kam asked, walking toward him.

Kouji released his grip on Takuya and walked toward Kam, glaring all the way.

"I mean what I said. I don't consider you polite. In fact, you are quite the opposite. You're a bitch." He said.

"Kouji! That was uncalled for!" Takuya spat.

"Damn straight!" Kam spat.

She reached forward.

"What the hell did I ever do to you?! I tried to be nice! Not my fault you're such an asshole!" Kamiya retorted angrily.

"What did you just say about me?" Kouji asked.

"Um, guys? Could we settle this some other way? Please?" Takuya said.

"I called you an ass. What are you going to do about it?" Kam said with a smirk. She was winning.

"I have no reason to fight with a parentless, friendless, bitch like you." Kouji said.

Kam's eyes widened, and brimmed with tears. She walked over to Kouji, and with all her strength, slapped the boy. Kouji's head snapped to the side, and his eyes widened with the force of the slap. Takuya's mouth dropped open. Kam's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Kouji's collar.

"Don't you ever ever talk about my family like that again!" Kamiya spat.

Kam turned around and began to walk away.

"Kamiya! Wait!" Takuya said, as he began to chase after her.

Kamiya turned to face the thin, tanned boy. She pulled him close in a hug.

"Look, Takuya, I'm really sorry for that, but I refuse to put up with that kind of treatment from someone I just met." Kam said.

"Kam, just please come back. I'm sure he's sorry, I really am. But please don't leave. Kouji's wonderful once you get to know him. Please come back?" Takuya pleaded.

Kam sighed. She never could resist Takuya's begging. She grabbed his arm with another loud sigh.

"Fine, let's go." Kam said.

Takuya smiled brightly, and then he and Kam walked back to where Kouji was standing amazed. As they approached, Kouji turned away, blushing. Kam cocked her head in confusion. He stuck out his hand toward her. Kami's brow furrowed in confusion.

"If you're not willing to shake, then just forget it!" Kouji said. "But no girl has ever been brave enough to hit me before. So, if you want, I'd like to try and be friends."

Kamiya's face brightened.

"You really mean it?" she asked.

Kouji simply nodded. With a squeal, Kam leapt at him, throwing her arms around his neck. Takuya blushed, desperately trying to pull her off of him. But all the while, Takuya had the distinct feeling that this was the start of a wonderful new friendship.

♠♣♥♦

TWO WEEKS LATER...........

There was a knock on Kouji's door. He leaned his head backward over the couch to look at the clock upside down. It said 10:30 PM on it. As Kouji got up, he wondered who in the hell would be knocking on his door at 10:30 at night. He opened the door, just in time to reveal Kamiya, standing on his porch.

"Kamiya?" he asked. "Might I ask just what in the hell you are doing here at this time of night."

"Well, ya see, it's kind of a funny story. Well, I kinda accidentally locked myself out of my apartment, and I can't get Yamato over here to unlock it for me until next week, so I kinda have nowhere to go for awhile." Kam explained.

"Then try Takuya's." Kouji said, attempting to shut the door in her face.

Kam stopped the door with her foot and carefully began to push against it with her own weight.

"Don't you think...I've already...tried that?" Kam said, gasping for breath in between. "I would much...rather be...there than trying...to get in here!"

Kouji stopped trying to shut the door and backed away from it, causing Kam to fall face first into his apartment. She was in a jean miniskirt with rainbow striped spaghetti-strap tank top, and her four inch high shoes that tied around her ankles. Her blue-streaked blonde hair was now spilling out around her on the floor, and the bags she had been carrying were now lying on either side of her. She looked like she had just run away from home with all the stuff she had.

"Fine. Come one in. And what's with all the stuff?" Kouji asked.

Kam sighed. "Well, I was coming back from somewhere where I had picked up some of my old stuff just to find out that I had been locked out of my apartment. So I pulled out my cell and tried to call Taku-chan-chan's house, but his mom said they were occupied, so I kinda wandered around the streets for a little bit until I decided to come here and try to see if I could stay here for a couple days or so until Yama-kun can come and unlock my apartment for me." she explained.

Kouji sighed. "How in the hell do you manage to get yourself into these messes, huh?" he asked. "And what would you have done if my parents were going to be here for the week and they said no?"

Kam thought for a bit. The, she finally piped up with an answer: "Begged them until they said yes?"

Kouji laughed a bit and shook his head. This girl was too much! It was still summer and she had already managed to get herself locked out of her apartment, gotten into a fight with him, and some other things that would have been enough. But this was Kamiya they were speaking of. But she was unbelievably cute, and if Kouji didn't already have Takuya, his heart would definitely be set on her. But Kamiya seemed like the kind of independent girl who wouldn't date a guy anyway. Kouji finally stood up.

"Well, you can stay here until my parents get back. Then you're gonna have to leave, because if they find you here, we are both dead. The room in the back is free, so feel free to use it or the couch, I don't care which one. But keep in mind that before you leave whichever room you use will have to be returned to the way it was when you first set eyes on it, got it?" Kouji asked.

Kam leapt up and hugged him.

"Thank you sooo much!! I promise I won't be in the way!! Promise, promise, promise!!" Kam said happily.

Suddenly, the two were interrupted by Kam's phone ringing loudly. Kam pulled it out of her pocket and answered it. There was a raspy voice on the other end.

"Kam?" it asked.

"Yeah? Who is this?" Kam asked.

"It's Taku. Look, I can't move. I need your help. Can you come pick me up?" Takuya asked on the other end.

"Um yeah, sure, where are you?" Kam asked.

"I'm about a block away from my place. I'm right outside your old front door." He said.

"Alright. Let me get to my moped. I'm on my way." Kam said. She turned to Kouji. "Hey, that was Takuya. Would it be alright if he stays here for the night? Sounds like he's had it rough tonight."

Kouji nodded. "That'd be fine."

"Alright. I'll be back in a few." Kam said.

And with that, Kam took off out the door.
