MBP: Hi everyone… It's me…

Rini: HI! How are you guys? Enjoying the story? Is it funny? Cute? Enjoyable?

MBP: And the source of trouble appears…

Rini: She knows she loves me… deep, deep down… hee hee… Well anyways, here's the disclaimer!

MBP does not own S.A. She wishes she did, but all she owns is the idea of this fan fiction, and the crazy voice in her head…


Chapter 3

Ten Things I Hate About Takishima

1. You call me Miss Number Two.

Kei only did it because her reaction was so entertaining. Plus, she was number two, so it wasn't like he was going to lie to her. That would make her even angrier. And it never failed to get her attention on him without her feeling awkward.

2. You beat me without even trying.

Oh, he tried. Kei smirked to himself. He tried to beat her so badly, and mess with her so much that she would never stop challenging him.

3. Your hair.

Wait... that was on Tadashi's too! What was wrong with his hair? His hair was just fine, and it worked for him. He didn't have to do anything to it to be presentable in a hurry.

4. Your smirk when you beat me.

Kei didn't smirk, he just… smirked. Okay, but it was his trademark smirk, so he couldn't get rid of it. Nor could he get rid of his sarcastic smile. However, he could modify to get her to pay him a little more attention…

5. You skip class to work.

Yes, and he hated every minute of it. School was his time to be around Hikari, and his company and work ruined it. Dense as she was though, Kei knew Hikari just didn't see it that way.

6. You think you have to do everything alone.

Not anymore he didn't. Not since they had all planned the party together. But things just moved faster when he worked alone, so he did it that way.

7. Your penalties.

Did she mean the penalties he gave her for losing? He enjoyed them, mainly because she still didn't realize he was in love with her after everything… even though she was nervous and awkward enough that you would think she did. Hikari was just too cute and tried too hard not to give her the penalties.

8. You confuse me all the time.

Kei scoffed. He wasn't the confusing one, she was. He was always forward about how he felt, she was just too dense to realize it.

9. You're training Sui to be just like you.

Sui made his own choices, following him around. Kei didn't train him in any way whatsoever, and Sui didn't have his ability to remember everything. Plus, Sui spent a little too much time with Chitose… The two couldn't be more different.

10. You've treated me like a helpless weakling.

He just didn't want her to get hurt! Honestly, she may be stronger than a lot of people, but she was still a girl, and he had to keep her safe. Besides, if he wasn't harsh and didn't treat her like she was weak, she wouldn't listen! Not like she listened either way, but still… she overworked herself so much, he couldn't help trying to protect her in any way he could.

Kei frowned as Tadashi and Yahiro laughed at his letter.

"I don't think Hikari realizes how hard she hit him with this!" Tadashi laughed, apparently forgetting about Akira's list to him.

"Poor Kei-kun, having his beloved Hikari-chan write this about him!" Yahiro teased, laughing out loud with Tadashi, a rather rare sight.

"Let's read yours then!" Kei growled, stopping Yahiro's laughing suddenly.

"How about I read it alone?" Yahiro replied easily.

"Then do it!" Kei returned.

"I will!"

"Good!"

"I'm glad you know!"

"I'm glad you know I know!"

"Go read it!"

"I am!"

"Great!"

"Fine!" Yahiro stormed to the table and took his envelope and stormed to another empty corner. The sooner this was done, the better. He could find out who had caused the entire thing, and then he could make them pay.

Ten Things I Hate About Yahiro…

Yahiro scowled, already recognizing the handwriting, dreading and half-anticipating the coming words.


MBP: This chapter's done!

Rini: Yay! Yay! Yay! Tell them what's next!

MBP: I'm not giving them spoilers! Honestly Rini!

Rini: (sighs) I am ashamed of her… oh well, it was worth a shot. Anyways, that's it for this chapter! Review for me please, and I hope you enjoyed it!

MBP: Ignore her! Review for me, the actual author, not her insane voice! Please send me a review telling me what you think… (whispers) …And tell me any ideas on how to get voices out of your head… she's stuck in mine!

Rini: I heard that! (pulls out knives)

MBP: Eeep! Well, bye bye now!
