Woooooot! Part 2!! I hope you like it~ please review!!! (wow, that rhymed…)

To chipmunkluvr96: Heehee! Thanks for your review it made me laugh! Psst…I actually haven't played the game… Blasphemy I know! I just fell in love with the characters! So I don't know when Chase/Chihaya comes into play…sorry. This lack of game playing would also explain why I may change a character's personality from what it is in the game. I'm so sorry if that offends anyone! But anyways, thanks a lot and I hope you keep reading~

To SheNeverWasGoodEnoughForLove: Thanks! I love Gill too! He's the cutest!!

This means WAR!

Let the battle begin!!!

Chihaya and Akari's mouths hung open in shock. She was mildly aware of the little bit of liquid that had been in her mouth now was dribbling down her cheek.

"Wait, what!?" she peeped.

"I need to talk with you." Gill explained giving her a disgusted look.

"Ohhh…" the other two said simultaneously.

"Whatever," he growled. "Come with me outside for a moment."

She and Chihaya exchanged looks.

"I suppose." she hissed, standing up and pushing past him into the twilight.

Gill glared at Chihaya before following her outside. Chihiya just smiled. Maybe they will become friends! he thought hopefully.

Once the door was shut behind him, Gill walked out into the clearing looking for Akari.

"What do you want?"

He spun around to see her leaning up against the bar wall with an irritated expression on her face.

He gave an annoyed sigh, "My father sent me to give you this." he said, handing her a folded piece of paper. "Apparently you left before he had the chance to give it to you."

Yeah, because he was creeping me out…

"I don't get why he didn't just find you himself. Instead he waited around all day for me to return home before sending me on this wild goose chase. I swear sometimes that man is just so…." and then he sighed again. "Anyway, it's a map of Waffle Town and the surrounding areas," he said in answer to her unvoiced question.

"Oh" she mumbled, unfolding it and examining the drawings on it. There was a star where her farm was, with a little drawing of a girl who was smiling and waving that vaguely resembled her. There were stores and farms also depicted on the map along with where the best fishing spots were. How convenient… But what really caught her attention was the big blue arrow that pointed to the mayor's house. Next to it was a chibi version of a frowning Gill holding a pink heart with a speech bubble that said "Come and visit, Akari!"

Oh please…

She looked up at the real frowning Gill with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"You haven't see this have you?" she said quietly.

"No, I think I would know my way around town without it." he replied smugly.

She decided to ignore that curt remark.

"Is this all you came for?" she asked slipping the map into her pocket.

"Yes, why?" he said tilting his head up slightly.

"Its just I thought you might apologize… or something…."

"Why should I apologize to you?"

"When I fell--when you opened the door--"

"That was your own fault. I wont apologize for your stupidity."

Are you kidding me…?

"But I was hurt, you could have--"

"You told me that you were okay, it is not my responsibility to read your mind and know when you are lying."

Her patience was getting a little short.

"You could have at least helped me up!"

"I was in a hurry, as you obviously noticed, you were in my way."

She stared at him in disbelief trying to take deep breaths to calm herself. But when he turned his back on her she snapped.

"Look here, you rotten little pretty boy!! I don't care who you are or who you think you are, you cant treat people that way!!"

He turned around slowly feeling her furry hit him like heat from a flame. She stood in her power stance, legs apart, fists clenched, teeth bared, and was nearly frothing with anger.

"Why shouldn't I?" He taunted with a little raise in the pitch of his voice.

"Well, for one thing, you probably would have some friends."

"Friends are a waste of time, people are a waste of time, you are a waste of time, and if you would please stop wasting my time I will go finish my work."

He said all this with an emotionless expression on his pale face. His dark blue eyes stared through her vacantly. The slight breeze of the wind ruffling his white blond hair that curled around his face. It really was a pity, he was beautiful….but he was evil! And she had had it….

"Oh, you….your lucky I'm not a man…" she hissed with venom on her lips.

"Your wrong. If you were a man your face would actually suite you and maybe you could actually be successful on that farm--"

He lay sprawled in the dirt now. His fancy clothes rumpled and filthy. His pulled himself into a sitting position wincing and holding his stomach where she had punched him. His big blue eyes blinked up at her with genuine shock as he gasped for air.

Too bad I didn't hit him in the face. Then I would have the satisfaction of seeing him everyday wearing a black eye. But I knocked the wind out of him, and that feels good.

Akari stood over him, a wicked smile on her face, as Chihaya ran from the bar and grabbed her by the shoulders. He had seen everything, and now had to restrain his grin at seeing the fallen prince struggle to pull himself to his feet.

Gill's blue eyes were locked with Akari's brown ones in a silent challenge. His cheeks suddenly flushed red with embarrassment and he turned and ran as fast as he could down the road straining to breath.

"Yay, Akari the conqueror!" Chihaya cheered, pumped the air with his fist, and released his previous pent up smile. "So how do you feel, Akari?" he said impersonating a t.v. newscaster with his 2 pencil as a mic. "You've defeated the demon ogre man with a single hit! Amazing, simply amazing! What are you gunna do next!? Fight some dragons!? Save some damsels--er--men in distress!? Find Atlantis!?"

She suddenly had become mute, he spun around and saw the blank expression on her face.

"Now, you don't feel bad do you?"

"Did you see that look on his face?"

"Well, yeah! He was so scared he was gunna wet his pants! That's the cherry on the cake right there!"

"He was afraid…I feel like I have sunk to his level…"

"Now, now, you did nothing like that!" he said putting his arm warmly on her shoulder. "He had it coming. Maybe it will humble him a little bit to be taken down by a girl. Even just a little bit would help…" he held his chin thoughtfully. "You know what? I think you have actually done him some good. Yeah, that punch in the gut was the friendliest act ever bestowed upon him!"

She had to laugh at that. "He did deserve it."

"Yep, for sure."

"And I did it."

"Yep, you did."

"He called me ugly…or manly I guess…" she said remembering.

"Well, your not. You are neither of them. Well, maybe you can slug kind of manly, but you look like a woman, no mistake. Pretty too…uh…" he rubbed his head uncomfortably with a little blush on his cheek.

"Thanks…" she mumbled. "He doesn't think I'm going to do well on the farm too." And for some reason that is what hurt the most. He could have called her anything he wanted, but those were the words that stung. Those were the words that fueled her anger into her fist.

"Forget about him." Chihaya said comfortingly. "All he can do is talk. And all you can do is prove him wrong. Make him eat his words!"

"That's right!" she exclaimed. "I'll make that farm thrive! I'll make it the best in Waffle Town!"

"That's the spirit!"

"And then he will see how badly he underestimated me!"

"No doubt!"

"And of course we are going to torture him along the way…"

"What have you got planned?" He said with an evil grin.

"Well, tomorrow after work, lets--"

They both turned toward the bar as a muffled voice called out for Chihaya.

"Well, looks like this is my cue…"

She frowned slightly. "Oh, shoot. Well, meet me here when you get off work tomorrow and we'll go a-ogre huntin!"

"Sounds like a plan."

He offered her his hand with a cute crooked smile on his lips, and she gladly took it.

"Nice to meet you, Akari."

"Nice to meet you too, Chihaya."

More, more, more to come!!!! Again, please review, I really could use the help!

P.S. Check my page for a poll on who you prefer, AkariXGill or AkariXChihaya. I thought I knew when I began the story, but I'm not so sure anymore… some advise would be very helpful!
