Thanks to those who reviewed, you made me very happy and eager to continue. Here is the second chapter for you.

Chapter Two: Love Should Go To The One It's Meant For!

Shichijo Omi sat at the desk typing away at his laptop when a little window popped up. He let out a slight sigh and started typing even faster. Once again, Nakajima Hideaki had started a virus war with him.

Saionji Kaoru looked up from the book he was reading and mentally rolled his eyes. "Omi, how many times do I have to tell you not to allow him to provoke you?"

Omi didn't turn to his best friend, he had to keep typing or the newest virus would surely eat his files with little chance of him retrieving them. "Do not worry, Kaoru, he isn't provoking me, however if I am not careful, this latest virus will surely do a lot of damage."

A sigh came from the queen of the academy. "Why do you two always keep up this childish game anyway?" he murmured as he picked up his porcelain teacup and had a dainty sip from it. He decided now would be a bad time to read the book, so he just kept his eyes on his friend's back, silently cheering him on in this latest battle of wits and speed.

Niwa Tetsuya yawned loudly, not bothering to cover his mouth while doing so. He knew his un-necessarily loud yawns would annoy the vice-president of the student council, but at the moment he couldn't care less. He hated that once again he was doing boring paperwork while his companion was on his laptop having yet another war with Omi. "Come on, Hide, let me out of here already," he whined like a child.

Hideaki didn't look away from his screen, nor was he smirking. "It's your own fault that the paperwork keeps piling up like that, I'm not letting you leave this time," he stated in all seriousness.

"And yet, while I'm dealing with this monotonous task, you're having fun on your laptop." Tetsuya rested his head in one hand as he resumed to fill out the paperwork.

"This isn't fun, this is war." Hideaki was smirking this time.

"Isn't that the same to you?"

"Finish your work and we can have fun tonight."

Tetsuya was suddenly more motivated at what Hideaki was promising him.

Keita, Kazuki and Tracey were walking around the campus grounds, both Keita and Kazuki giving Tracey a tour of the academy. Kazuki noticed Tracey was holding something in his arms. "Is that your portfolio, Tracey?"

The watcher nodded. "I was going to show it to the art club president. However..."

"I remembered halfway there that Iwai-san wasn't on campus and won't be until this evening," Keita concluded.

Kazuki nodded. "I see. Tracey, is it alright if I have a look at your portfolio?"

"Yes, it's fine, Kazuki." Tracey spotted a bench they could all sit on. "Let's sit over there while you have a look."

"That's a good idea." All three males walked over to the bench and sat on it. Kazuki accepted a couple of sketchbooks from Tracey and started to have a look at each of the images. "This really is impressive, Tracey, I can see why you were selected to enroll here."

Keita knew Kazuki's secret, and knew it was to be kept secret, so he didn't say anything concerning his best friend and lover's statement.

Tracey blushed lightly and rubbed the back of his head. "Thanks for the compliment, but I think they could use some improvement."

Kazuki turned to the watcher and smiled a gentle smile, not similar to the one he only gave Keita. "Since I never saw the real Pokemon myself, I am unable to say I agree or disagree. However, I can tell you worked really hard on these sketches, and to me they look perfect. You don't have to be modest."

Tracey nodded. "It does make me happy when someone praises my work because I do put all of my effort into them. However, they say that one always criticises their own work because they feel they can always do better, and there are times I think that I could do better on some of my sketches. I wish to achieve a certain level one day, and some of my sketches aren't even close."

"A certain level?" Keita asked curiously.

"I wish to achieve the same level my father was able to achieve."

"Would it be alright if I saw some of your father's work? That way, I can tell you if you are close to achieving that level or if you still need to work on it," Kazuki commented.

"Sure, I always carry my father's last sketchbook with me, to remind me of him, of how great he was, and how I can achieve his same level and make him proud of me."

Kazuki and Keita stayed silent. They could see where Tracey was coming from, his words explained exactly why he wanted to work so hard. To carry on a family legacy.

Shinomiya Kouji and Iwai Takuto were on the bus on their way back to the academy campus. Kouji held a trophy in his arms. "Once again, congratulations, Kouji," Takuto stated softly, a light blush forming on his cheeks.

Kouji smiled. "And once again, I thank you, Takuto. But, it meant more to me that you had attended the tournament."

"Of course, how could I not? You are my best friend and someone I really care about."

"I feel that same way for you too." He frowned slightly. "I was unable to monitor your eating habits today, did you have anything to eat at the tournament?"

Takuto's golden eyes widened slightly. "Oh no, I seemed to have forgotten to have lunch."

The archer let out a sigh. "Then when we get back, we're going straight to the cafeteria and you'll be having a huge dinner to make up for missing lunch."

The artist nodded and smiled gently. He knew Kouji was just concerned about him, and for that he was glad. Not that he'd made his friend worry, but that his friend cared. He rested his head on his shoulder and felt an arm wrap around his shoulders.

Shunsuke was lying on the grass after finishing his final delivery for the day. He was hungry, but he didn't want to have anything to eat yet. He was still feeling a little upset about how Yukihiko hadn't seemed to have noticed his feelings. Then again, even if he did know how I felt and he returned the feelings I have for him, how would I know his are really sincere? I don't know if he even really loved Keita and he barely knows Tracey. His stomach let out a loud growl. "Oh, shut up already, I'm still thinking here..." he mumbled. He heard another growl. "Oh fine! But I'm going to be thinking for the rest of the night because of you!" Wow, this really is troubling me, I'm blaming my stomach for my problems...

Tracey's eyes widened as he took in the size of the cafeteria. "I don't think even the cafeterias in Pokemon Centres come close," he whispered in awe.

"Hey, you can sit with us if you'd like," Keita said to him.

"Are you sure I wouldn't be in the way?"

Kazuki nodded. "The more the merrier, right?"

Tracey smiled, he was glad his experience at this school wasn't as bad as in his past. He followed Keita and Kazuki and found himself standing in a line. "So, what would you say is the best here?" He really hoped they didn't say the food was awful, but they had to eat something.

"They have some great Japanese food here," Keita stated.

"Personally, I prefer the hamburgers," Kazuki added with a chuckle. "But, the food here is great, so you don't have to worry."

"Like I said, this school spares no expense to make it comfortable for the students."

Tracey nodded, he remembered Keita had said that.

They were sitting at their table eating their dinner when Yukihiko came over. "Hey there, everyone!" He then moved beside Tracey. "Especially you, Honey," he whispered in a seductive tone.

"Please don't call me Honey, it makes me feel uncomfortable," Tracey replied quietly yet firmly.

"I'm sorry, but it's such a cute name for you! Better than any others I could give you."

"Please just call me Tracey, not Honey."

"Um, so, Naruse-san, how was practice?" Keita asked, hoping to break the tension.

"Oh, it went alright for a while. Kakeru managed to get hit in the nose with a fast flying ball," Yukihiko replied.

All three of them winced. "Is he alright?" Kazuki questioned.

"Yeah, he will be fine, his nose wasn't broken, Wataru told me that."

"That's a relief," Tracey sighed. "Even if I have yet to meet either of them, I would never want anything bad to happen to anyone."

"Oh, Honey, you are such a caring person," Yukihiko sighed.

"Please address me by my name..."

"Anyway, I'm sorry to have to leave so soon, but I need to hurry with my dinner and finish one of my assignments. Bye, guys. Bye bye, Honey."

All three of them said see ya to him and watched him walk off to another table. "How many times do I have to tell him not to call me Honey?" Tracey sighed.

Kouji and Takuto entered the cafeteria and noticed someone new was sitting with Keita and Kazuki. "I wonder who that is..." Takuto commented.

"He must be one of the new freshmen. We'll get dinner first and then we will talk with them."

"Very well, Kouji."

Keita spotted them and waved. He saw Takuto wave back shyly and Kouji nodded in acknowledgement. He gestured for them to come over to the table, but then he noticed they didn't have their trays yet, so he changed his gesture to come here when you're ready.

"Seems Ito-kun wishes for us to join them," Kouji commented. He liked Keita and Kazuki, he really did, however he wished to sit with just Takuto, it made it easier to make sure his friend was actually eating all of his food. "Don't forget to get something with a good amount of iron, you've been rather lethargic lately."

Takuto nodded in response. He would've said you worry too much, but he knew it wasn't fair on Kouji to say that because he did tend to make him worry with his poor eating habits.

Keita and Kazuki listened to Tracey recounting some of his greatest memories of travelling with a couple of his friends, both were pretty amazed at what it is that Tracey had been able to experience. "So, you really saw a lot of pink Pokemon?" Keita questioned.

Tracey nodded. "We wound up on the island by accident, but it was something I couldn't pass up, checking out all of the different types of Pokemon on the island I mean."

"So, did you get in trouble when you were found?"

"We were let off with a warning because we helped save a pink Rhyhorn that was in great danger." Tracey continued telling about more islands he'd been on, more Pokemon he had seen and of some of his greatest experiences. "A journey is never boring to begin with, but because of who I was travelling with, it was even more exciting."

The other teens nodded. Keita noticed someone approaching their table. "Hi, Shinomiya-san, Iwai-san."

Kazuki greeted them as well.

"Good evening, Ito-kun, Endo-kun," Kouji replied. He turned to Tracey. "I am Shinomiya Kouji and this is Iwai Takuto."

"Pleased to meet you both. My name is Tracey Sketchit," Tracey greeted politely as he shook hands with both of the older males. "Is it alright if I address you both by your first names?"

Takuto nodded. "Yes, it is fine with me."

"Very well then," Kouji agreed.

"Thank you. Please address me by my first name as well."

"If you want. So, are you one of the new freshmen?"

"Yeah, but I am still amazed I was able to come here in time."

"In time?" Takuto asked.

"Oh, I'm not from Japan."

"Do you mean that you are the student from the distant land?" Kouji asked.

"Correct."

Keita turned to Takuto. "Iwai-san, we went to find you before to show you something if you were willing to have a look."

"What was it, Ito-kun?" Takuto asked.

"Tracey's portfolio."

Takuto turned to Tracey. "Are you an artist?"

"I'm a Pokemon watcher, but I do make sketches of the Pokemon I observe. If it's not too much of a bother, would you be willing to have a look at my portfolio?"

"It's not a bother at all." Takuto smiled gently. "I'm afraid I cannot go over your portfolio this evening, would tomorrow afternoon be alright with you?"

"Yes, that will be fine."

"Then I will be in artroom 5-G, please do come see me."

"I will. Thank you."

"Well, we need to get going now. Remember not to miss curfew tonight," Kouji stated as he and Takuto left.

Tracey smiled to himself.

"Hey, we should consider helping Shunsuke out with his problem," Keita stated on their way back to the dorms.

Tracey thought about it. "A friend of mine would say the same thing."

Kazuki smiled. "You're a kind person, Keita, however we should leave this to Shunsuke and Naruse-san."

"I know, but if it becomes too much, then can we help them?" Keita asked his best friend and lover.

Kazuki nodded. "If it becomes too much."

"I'd like to help too if I may. I can see Shunsuke really does care about Yukihiko and it hurts that his feelings aren't being returned," Tracey stated.

"Okay then, Tracey. Then, if things don't work out, then we should work together and help them."

They sat in Keita's room, both Keita and Kazuki were on the bed while Tracey was on a desk chair. "So, if worst comes to worst, what should we do?" Keita asked.

"A while back, Misty, Ash and myself met two trainers who were in love with each other, but they always put their rivalry first. Misty decided to send them identical love letters along with gifts," Tracey recounted.

"Did it work?"

"Unfortunately not. Emily was allergic to the flowers and Ralph thought the model plane meant he was being mocked for his airsickness."

"What about receiving the letters themselves?"

"They both demanded to know why they received those letters."

"So, did they finally realise their feelings?" Kazuki questioned.

"They did. It was when they were battling against Team Rocket and saw that their Nidoran were in love and finally realised they were upsetting their Pokemon with the rivalry they had going on."

"I wonder how we can get Naruse-san and Shunsuke together..." Keita pondered.

"If worst comes to worst, we could maybe send them on a secret date? You know, send them an invitation to meet at a cafe but it's from an anonymous sender. Then, they arrive and meet at the table."

"That would be phase one then. Even if Shunsuke were to tell him his feelings, Naruse-san may need time to consider his own feelings...and even then, we don't know if he even loves Shunsuke..." Kazuki pointed out.

Tracey nodded. "That's true, Kazuki..." He thought hard. "How did you two fall in love with each other?"

"We were actually best friends as children."

"I see."

"And Kazuki was my first friend here, always taking care of me and just showing how much he cares about me," Keita added as he cuddled up to Kazuki.

Tracey smiled. His smile suddenly became a smirk. "Aww, aren't you such a cute couple?"

Keita blushed and snuggled closer to Kazuki, trying to hide his blush. "Tracey..."

Tracey laughed. "Sorry, I'm just teasing. But, in all honesty, both of you are very cute together, you do make a picture perfect couple."

"Thank you." Keita pulled back slightly, still cuddling with Kazuki, but no longer hiding his face.

"In the meantime, we should consider just watching Shunsuke and Naruse-san before we take action," Kazuki commented.

"Yeah, for now that would be the best thing to do," Tracey concurred. He realised it was getting late. "I should consider going to bed now, classes are tomorrow and I don't want to be up past curfew."

"Sure."

"We'll see you out," Keita added.

"Thank you, but you don't have to do that," Tracey stated.

"It's no problem, really, you are just next door."

Tracey unlocked his dormroom door. "Well, good night, Keita, good night, Kazuki. I'll see you two tomorrow morning. Let's walk to class together."

Keita nodded. "You and I have Biology together first thing tomorrow. Good night."

"Good night, Tracey," Kazuki said as he and Keita entered Keita's room.

Tracey entered his own room and closed the door behind himself. Wow, this has been some first day. I wonder how the professor is going...

FLASHBACK

"Are you sure you'll be alright, Professor? The Symposium is in a week and you still have to prepare your speech about your latest discovery, and then there is mating season issues for some of the Pokemon, it's not easy for one person to handle, even yourself."

Professor Oak nodded. "You don't have to worry, Tracey, I'll be fine. You were selected to go to that unique school, you really can't pass it up. I have heard that only those of exceptional talent have ever been accepted into that school, and for you to receive a platinum paper means that you have exceptional talent. Don't let it go to waste, take this opportunity."

"Very well then, Professor, if you insist."

"I do insist. In fact, it's an order from me that you're to attend that school."

Tracey laughed. "Alright then, I'll go."

END FLASHBACK

While recalling that memory, Tracey had changed into his pyjamas and set his alarm on his new mobile phone. I'll give it my all here, I won't allow myself to leave. The professor's right, it means something if I was selected to enroll here. Mom, Dad, Professor, I'll make you all proud of me. He switched on the lamp and went to switch off his main light and lock his door. He could hear some talking coming from the next room and smiled to himself. This time I'm not alone. I have friends like Keita and Kazuki, I'll be alright here. He climbed into his bed, switched off the lamp and fell asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Omi was making final checks on his laptop, making certain no surprise viruses had been left while he and Kaoru had dinner. He smiled in satisfaction and shut down the laptop before leaving the treasury office and making his way to Kaoru's room.

Hideaki checked his own laptop making sure Omi hadn't left any surprises on his laptop and smirked. Finally the dog of the treasury has learned to behave himself. He left the student council office, not bothering to wake Tetsuya who had fallen asleep doing more paperwork. Looks like he'll miss out on our fun tonight. Oh well, if he should drool on any of those sheets he has to start over. That'll teach him a good lesson.

Kazuki received a message on his phone and moaned. Why did a meeting have to take place now? He sat up and nudged Keita. "I'm sorry, Keita, but something just came up."

Keita sighed. "Now? Why won't they let you sleep? You're a student and the chairman..."

"I know." He leaned down and kissed Keita on the lips, feeling Keita kiss him in return. "I'm really sorry, Keita, I promised to stay with you tonight."

"It's alright, Kazuki, it was unexpected. You still have a suit in the wardrobe."

"Thank you, Keita. I'll try not to wake you when I return." Kazuki climbed out of the bed and walked over to the closet. He felt really bad about this, why did his business life always find some way to interfere with his love life?

Shunsuke flopped back on his bed and resumed thinking about what he was upset about. How can I get him to notice me?

Keita/Tracey: HAMU-HAMU HEAVEN!!

Once again, Tracey in his chibified hamster form was walking through Bell Liberty Forest when he found he'd bumped into someone by accident. "Oh, sorry about that-hamu."

The someone turned around, it was Yukihiko also in chibified hamster form. "Honey-hamu! It's quite alright-hamu. I'm not hurt-hamu. Oh, but are you-hamu?"

"No, I'm alright-hamu."

"That's a relief-hamu. So, what are you doing, Honey-hamu?"

"Please don't call me Honey-hamu, I don't like it-hamu. To answer your question, I'm looking for something special to draw-hamu. But I can't seem to find anything-hamu."

"You're in luck-hamu! I know something you can draw-hamu!"

"Really-hamu?"

"Yep-hamu!" He took Tracey's paw and smiled lustfully. "You can draw both of us on our date-hamu. That's special-hamu."

"A date is special-hamu." He pulled back. "But, I'm afraid it's still not special enough-hamu."

"Well, let's go on a date anyway-hamu!" He grabbed the paw again and started to drag Tracey away. "Come on, Honey-hamu!"

"Please don't call me Honey-hamu," Tracey replied as he was dragged off.

Tracey stood by the blackboard and tapped the next title repeatedly, a slight frown on his face, still upset about being called Honey.

Yukihiko jumped in front of the board holding a flower. "Honey-hamu's first day at Bell Liberty is over-hamu. But, the party's just getting started-hamu." He offered the flower to Tracey. "Next time in Newest Student At BL Gakuen: Class Is Important. Read it and I'll give you the adult treatment-hamu." With those words, he winked.
