I didn't know what to call this chapter haha.

Normal POV

It's May and it's lunch time now. Kido has not called Kano any mean names yet. She could actually win this bet. If she did win the bet, what would she make Kano do? What would Kano make her do if she lost the best? Kido decided to ask their teacher to supervise the club. Kano was with her of course. Kido is still not exactly nice, so she could screw up on this. When they approach the teacher, he immediately got nervous around Kido. Fortunately, Kano was there. They asked, mostly Kano, and the teacher had agreed to supervise the club's activities when they had enough members.

Kido was putting up posters of the club on the bulletin board in the hallway by herself. Kano watched her from the classroom. He smiled.

Kano's POV

She's so determined to make this club. Now, we only need one more member and we can make this club official. Why does Kido want to make a music club anyways? She told me that she would answer all my questions soon. Geez. This girl...I was walking up to her from behind. It didn't seem like she noticed me. Then, she suddenly turned around and our foreheads collided together. Ouch! Her forehead was so hard. She dropped her posters and she closed her eyes from the pain. Her hands covered her forehead.

"Tch. That really hurt, you bastard!" She yelled out. Wait a minute...did she just...No way...

She opened her eyes. Her eyes widened as she finally realized who was in front of her and what she just said. She instantly covered her mouth with both her hands, wishing she could take back those words from earlier, but she couldn't. Kido just lost the best so easily like that. We were both quiet for a while, until I had burst out laughing.

"Ahahaha! I can't believe you lost so easily." I said as I clutched my stomach. Kido looked like the world just ended. Her knees landed to the floor and she still had her shocked expression. She said, "I lost...I told you it was impossible for me to be a nice girl."

I stopped laughing. I looked down towards her figure. She looked kind of sad. I bent my knees down.

"No."

"Huh?" She asked.

"You're wrong. You only said that it was impossible for you to not call me any mean names yesterday. Just because you call me mean names, it doesn't mean that you're not a nice girl, Kido. You are actually really nice, Kido." I said with a big smile. She looked at me with a doubtful look.

I stood up and left to go back to class. Before I left, I could have sworn I heard Kido whispering, "Not as nice as you, you idiot."

A few minutes later, Kido returned to class and sat behind me. I guess she finished hanging the posters. We said nothing, until...

"Oi, idiot."

I jumped from hearing that. "What do you want me to do now? I lost the bet remember?" I heard Kido say.

"What?!" Momo exclaimed out of nowhere. The gang sat near us. Shintaro smirked and laughed. He said, "I told you, Momo. Now you owe me 1,000 yen." Momo groaned. Kido looked at them. "Wait you guys were betting on who was going to win the bet?" She asked. They both nodded. Mary said, "Momo was betting on Kido and Shintaro was betting on Kano. Seto added, "We tried to stop them." I high-fived Shintaro. Momo groaned, "Man...I was really hoping Kido would win." I laughed and said, "Well Kido didn't exactly know who she was calling a bastard." I told them the whole story. The whole gang was laughing.

Momo said, "Oh man. Kano, thanks to you Kido lost the bet."

"Eh?" I asked.

"If you hadn't bumped into Kido, she still would have had a chance to win the bet and I wouldn't have to lose 1,000 yen to my stupid brother!" Momo replied.

"Wait. Stupid? Look who's talking." Poor Shintaro...

"Woah. Are you saying it's my fault? I asked.

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Momo said casually.

Kido sighed. "Well I still lost and a bet's a bet. So idiot, are you going to tell me what you want? You better not think of anything dirty or I'll murder you." Everyone laughed nervously.

"You're so cold, Kido. I can't believe you would think that." I said back.

"I think we all can." Shintaro said. Momo punched his arm.

"Okay. Let's hang out after school." I said.

"Idiot, we already do that." Kido replied.

"Then, just me and you at your house. I've never been to your house before, even though we walk there all the time." I said.

"You want to go to my house?" Kido, surprised.

"Mhmm." I nodded.

"Really? Out of all the things, you chose to go to my house." She asked

"Yup. I just want to hang out with you." I answered.

"Fine." She sighed. "But we're going to have to go to the clubroom first before we go home."

"Okay." I said cheerfully.

After the school bell rang, Kido, Shintaro, Momo, and I went to the clubroom. We just sat there. Kido was listen to her music as always. Shintao and Momo were arguing as usual. I just sat there, hoping that a student would join soon. Damn it. I'm so tire and so bored. I rested my head onto the table with my arms as a pillow. I couldn't sleep,, though. I don't know why, but I just couldn't...

-Flashback-

"Hey? Hello? Are you alright?" I heard a girl's voice. I was sleeping by a tree in a park, until she woke me up. My eyes slowly opened and I saw a pretty girl. She had long dark brown hair, A long, red scarf was wrapped around her neck. It's so hot. Why would she wear that? I also noticed that she was wearing a black school uniform and wearing two red clips on her hair. She looks like the same age as me. Her middle school uniform is different from mine, so she must go to a different school.

A sigh of relief escaped from her mouth. "Oh. You were just sleeping. Thank god. I thought you were dead. I was going to call for help if you hadn't responded." Is she an idiot? She thought I was dead. I laughed at the thought. Nobody would really mind, though right. I smiled widely.

"I don't like the way you smile." I heard the girl say. I totally forgot about her presence. My smile disappeared. "Yeah. So what? It's not like I care what you think." I said a little too harshly. It didn't seem to bother her, though. She bent down and leaned towards my face. I backed away as she did that. My head had hit the tree. She put her pointing fingers to my cheeks and moved them up. What is she doing?

"There. That's better. This is how you should smile from now on." She said with a triumphant smile.

"Are you an idiot? You know I can't see how I look right now, right?" I pointed out. I saw her laugh nervously and rubbed the back of her head with her hand.

"Y-yeah. I totally knew that." She said.

I laughed. This girl is pretty funny and stupid. I stopped laughing at her. She looked at me with a gentle look on her.

"You smiled!" She said cheerfully. She sat down right next to me and pulled her knees up.

"Yeah and what's your point?" I asked.

"For a moment, you looked sad and angry at yourself." She said and smiled sadly.

"Hey. What's your name?" She asked with a smile. Is she always smiling like this?

"It's Shuuya Kano." I replied.

"Kano...I like that name." She said.

"Thanks." I muttered.

"So Kano, you have a really nice smile. Whenever you're feeling sad or angry, just smile. It'll make you feel better! All your pain will go away." She said cheerfully.

I looked at her, with a surprised expression. How can this girl be so optimistic? Just who is she? I have never met any girl like her.

"And why should I listen to you?" I said, being back to my old self.

"Oh my god. You're just like my best friend. You're just as cold as her." The girl said.

"I feel bad for your best friend." I said to tease her. She pouted and then asked, "Do you want to be my friend?" I have never had a friend. "Um.." I started. Then, she realized something. "I forgot that I told my best friend to wait for me when I saw you sleeping nearby the tree. Uh oh. She might be angry at me now for making her wait so long." She said. She got up and was about to run away.

"Wait!" I shouted to get her attention. She turned around and looked at me curiously.

"What is it? Is something wrong, Kano?"

"What's your name? I told you mine. Now you tell me yours." I said.

She smiled and said "It's Ayano. I hope we meet again, Kano..."

"Same." I said back.

When she was about to leave again, I asked, "Why do you want to be my friend?"

Ayano turned around and smiled...again...She said, " I don't need a reason to be your friend. I just want to." I could feel warmth in my heart. My eyes widened and I could feel a smile on my face.

"So are we friends?" Ayano asked.

"Definitely. Thanks, Ayano. You should go now before your best friend get mad at you." We both laughed.

"Yup. I'll see ya." She waved and continued running.

I turned around and heard, "What took you so long Ayano?" This was probably her best friend.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Oh look, there's a puppy." I heard Ayano say to cheer her friend up.

"What?! Where?!"

-End of Flashback-

Ever since that day, I've been smiling like Ayano. I hid my sadness and anger, just like she did. I feel like one day my happy act will be found out by someone, though.

"Hey are you alright?" Kido asked with a concerned look on her face. Well this is a kind of ironic. Ayano just said the same words in my flashback. Even, Kido worries about me.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired." I said. Kido said, "You were spacing out." "My bad." I said to her.

Knock. Knock.

"Excuse me. This is the music club, right? I want to join the music club." A voice could be heard from outside the door.

I got out of my seat and walked towards the door. I opened it up and saw...

Kido's POV

Who is this girl? I've never seen her around at school. Probably because I don't pay attention to anyone. Oh. There's another guy behind her. I haven't see him either.

"Hey. My name is Haruka and my friend here is Ene. We would like to join the music club."

"Okay." I simply said. I finally have enough members. I handed them papers they had to sign to join the club. Momo asked them, "How come we haven't seen you around at school?"

"We're in a handicapped class." Haruka said. The girl, Ene, hit his arm. I guess she didn't want us to know. That's understandable.

"Oh okay. Cool. Thanks for joining the club. Why do you guys want to join anyways?" I asked.

"I'm joining any club Ene joins." Haruka said cheerfully with a smile. I saw Ene blush a little.

"My parents are making me join a club. I chose this one, because I really like listening to music." I saw big headphones around her neck. Holy shit. I think I found my long lost sister.

Finally, I got our teacher to supervise the club. I'm finally done with finding members. Kano finished the paperwork. We turned it in and made the club official. I kept my promise to Ayano. Ayano, will you keep your promise? Now I'm walking home with the idiot.

We arrived at my house. I got my key to open the door and invited him in. We took off our shoes and had put slippers on. We went to my bedroom and did our homework on my bed.

"Hey, Kido." He said.

"Hmm?" I looked up from my homework and stared at him

"Where are your parents?" He asked.

I froze. How was I supposed to answer that? They died in a car accident? No way! I have to come up with a lie quick.

"Um..T-they're on business travel." I lied.

Kano looked at me suspiciously. "And where's your sister?" He asked. Wait. How did he know that I had a sister.

"How do know that I have a sister?" I asked, surprised.

He pointed at something behind me. I turned around and saw a picture frame of my family. My sister and I were in the center with my parents by our side. I was the only one not smiling in that photo. My sister...She left the house after my parents' death. She was in shock when she found out about it. I still remember the last words she told me before she left.

"This is all your fault!" She shouted while packing a suitcase.

"W-what?" I asked, really surprised and scared that she said that.

"Mom and Dad because of you, Kido! Y-you killed them! I hate you! I hate you! I wish you were never born at all." She yelled out and left the house.

"Don't go, please. I can't lose you either..."

She didn't seem to know how much that hurt me. I never said it to her, but I did love her just as much I loved my parents. You would think that after our parents died, we would stick together and be there for each other. I don't have any clues about my sister's whereabouts. She must be at college right now.

"She's probably at college." I answered.

"Eh? Probably? You mean don't even know where your sister is right now."

"It's not like I care about her!" I snapped. Woah. Where did that come from?

Kano looked at me with widened eyes. I gasped a little and covered my mouth.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell." I apologized looking down.

"Your parents are not on a business trip. Am I right?" He asked.

"You're wrong. T-they are." I said.

"I know you're lying, Kido. I can see right through you. You're not a good liar." He said. He was talking seriously. I've never seen him act like this before.

I looked up at him. "Shut up! Maybe I lied because I don't want to tell you about my family." I shouted at him.

"Why not?!" He asked.

"It's none of your business!" I screamed out at him. Why is he so nosy? He's making me angrier every second.

Kano yelled."It is my business! You're obviously upset about it. I want to know why. I just want to help y-." I slapped him. His faced turned. He rubbed his cheek.

"I don't need your help." I said coldly.

"Fine then. I'll just leave you alone." He got up from my bed, packed his backpack, and left my room. After that, I heard the door close. I don't need him to comfort me. I already told him that I was fine being alone. Why does he care so much? I just don't understand. Man, this is the first time we ever fought. It took me a few minutes to cool down.

I was so angry at him. I just snapped at him. We started yelling. Then, I slapped him. I shouldn't have slapped him. He's my...friend! Oh no. I screwed up! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I hurt him. Why didn't I stop him? Why didn't I tell him to stay with me? He has always helped me. All I have ever done was injure him and call him mean names. I'm a terrible friend, I know. I don't deserve his kindness, but I don't want to lose another person! I lost my parents, my sister, and Ayano. I can't lose Kano next! I got to make things right. I ran out of my house. I have to find Kano.

Oh wait. I just realized something...I don't even know where he lives...How can I not?! I've never walked to his house because we always arrived at my house first. Damn it. Good going, Kido. Okay maybe one of our friends know. I got my iPhone and looked through my contacts. I don't want to call Kano because I want to speak to him in person.

Contacts

Shuuya Kano

Mary Kozakura

Momo Kiseragi

Kousuke Seto

Shintaro Kiseragi

Seto...Seto...Kano and Seto seem pretty close. Maybe he knows where Kano lives. I dialed Seto's number and waited.

"Hello? Kido? I didn't think you would actually call us? I heard Seto answer.

"Haha." I said sarcastically.

"So what's up? Do you need something?" Seto asked politely.

"Yeah. Do you know the idiot's address? I need to speak to him." I told him.

"Yeah. I'll text you it. Wait isn't Kano supposed to be at your house?" Seto asked.

"Yeah, but we had a fight and he left." I answered.

"Oh okay. Sorry to hear that. Oh when you get to his house, I have to warn you that you might not like his family." Seto said.

"And why is that?" I asked.

"No time to explain. You should go to Kano now. I already texted you the address." Seto replied.

"Okay. Thanks, Seto." I told him.

"No problem and good luck, Kido." He said. We hung up after that.

Okay, Kano. I'm coming to your house now. I wonder what Seto meant when he said that I might not like his family. I guess I'll find out. Kano wait for me. I looked at the address Seto texted me. Kano doesn't live that far from me. I put my phone in my pocket and ran as fast as I could to the address. I arrived there in ten minutes.

I was panting from all the running. Then I heard a man's voice, "Everything's your fault! You killed my wife. I wish you were never born. I hate you so much. You're a monster and a murderer!" This guys sounds very much like my sister. Wait is he saying this to Kano? What a horrible thing to say. So this is what Seto meant. I heard some glass breaking from inside the house. I was hiding behind a tree. It's so loud I can I hear them from outside. I didn't hear anything else. Where's Kano? I looked up at the house and saw him through a window. He must be in his bedroom. I don't really want to knock at their door and ask to speak to Kano, so I decided to climb to his window. I climbed onto the tree, which reached to his window. It took me five minutes and it wasn't easy. He was sleeping on his bed. I knocked on his window. He woke up and looked at me with a shocked and worried expression.

"Are you going to let me in or not, idiot." I asked him. He finally opened his window for me and helped me into his bedroom. We sat on his bed. He didn't say anything to me, though. I guess I have to start the conversation now.

"Look I just came here to apologize about the fight. I'm really sorry about slapping you and snapping at you when you just wanted to help, but you can't help me." I said."I-it's okay." He said with a sad smile."It's not okay. And I heard what that person earlier say. What did he mean when he said you know..." I asked."M-my mom died when she gave birth to me. It's my fault she died, right? " Kano said to me. My eyes widened and I gasped. I never knew...

Kano is just like me. Kano was blamed for his mom's death, like how my sister blamed me for my parents' death. Kano was in so much pain and I couldn't tell because he was always smiling. Behind that smile was sadness and loneliness. Kano was alone, too.

"You're wrong." I said softly.

"Shut up! How would you know? You would never unders...Why are you crying?" Kano said to me.

"You're wrong. I do understand, Kano. You have no idea how much I understand you. You were really sad all along behind that stupid smile. I'm crying for you because you are too stubborn to cry. Please just smile for me. " I told him. We heard some glass breaking and it startled us. I pulled out my earphones and put some music on. I put one of the sides to Kano's ear, so he could hear my words with his other ear.

"When you do cry, you can come to me. I'll be by your side." I said to him and smiled. He looked at me with sad eyes. I wish I could comfort him. I never really cheered up Ayano, because she was never sad. Then, he leaned onto my shoulder. I leaned towards his head. This is all I can do for him. What a friend I am...

"Don't listen to your father, just listen to music, Kano." I said gently.

"Thanks, Kido." I heard him say. I nodded and we stayed like this for a long time. I finally got up from his bed and said, "Well I should go home now. I'll see you tomorrow, Kano. You better smile."

He laughed and replied, "I'll see you at the club, leader. Hey, I told you that you were really nice."

I glared at him softly. As I was about to get out from the window. He said, "Wait." I turned around. As I soon as I turned around, he hugged me. I awkwardly hugged him back. Then, he said, "Whenever you're feeling sad, you can come to me, Kido." My faced turned a little red and I got out of his hug. I said, "That's my line." He smiled and I went back to the window and climbed down from the tree.

Do I like Kano? No. I don't hate him, though. This idiot always makes me feel weird. Idiot. Idiot. Idiot...

Sorry I didn't update last week. That's why I made this chapter a little longer. So who did you guys think would win the bet? Haha I made Kido lose so easily like that. Also, is Kido starting to like Kano or vice versa? Find out by reading future chapters...when I start on them. Please review. Thanks for reading. Okay bye! c:
