Disclaimer: I want to buy a pot, but PoT doesn't belong to me! XD

How're you guys doing? I'm sorry for the long wait!

University is REALLY hectic and I'm trying to find new friends because simply, I don't wanna be doing things on my own! WAH!!

Ahem, yes, this is Sanada and Kasumi's one shot! I really hope you WILL enjoy this!

My apology for the lateness and please don't forget to review! I'm sorry I can't reply the unsigned reviews this time… So sorry!

Set during high school!

"Sanada, when are you going to ask her out?" Masaharu's voice came from behind the clubhouse's door. "You know you can't keep her waiting too long."

I paused from opening the door and felt my heart start beating faster. Gen-chan is going to ask someone out? But I thought he liked me!

…Yes, I knew I sounded self-centered, but times I spent with the stoic fukubuchou of Rikkai's tennis club had given me a lot of clues, you know?

The soft looks in his eyes, the gentle, sweet and caring side of his appeared from time to time whenever I was alone with him, and I was willing to put a bet on the fact that no other girl apart from his family would've seen this side of him.

…I doubted that even his family has seen this side of him, period.

Anyway, back to eavesdropping on the boys! Mwahaha!

"Keep yourself out of my business, Niou." Yup, that sounded like Gen-chan… "I'm working on it, if you think you should know."

"Of course we need to know, fukubuchou! This is my nee-san you're talking about!" Akaya screamed at Genichirou again… I probably need to sign him up for another manner course this summer! "And buchou will murder you if you are going to lead her on, right buchou?"

Oh Kami NOOOO… What did I do to deserve being put into the devil in disguise's hands!? Wait a sec, they're talking about Gen-chan asking me out!?

Ooh, this I must see!

"Sanada, please do something about you and your love life soon, hopefully before we take the situation into our hands, ne?" I shivered at the deadly sweetness dripping off from Seiichi's every word…

TOO SCARY! WAH!

But I wanna know what Gen will say back!

"…I'll ask her out when I feel we're both ready." That was the last sentence I heard before I heard footsteps shuffled towards the door. So I ran out of there.

…I can't wait till he asks me out! He can come to me himself and I'll wait! YEAH! I LOVE YOU KAMI-SAMA!

Rikkai's High School, Monday, 8AM…

…I hate Mondays…

Why? Well, Monday is the start of the week, my least favorite classes are all crammed into Monday and today I have to take care of the Monkeys again…

"Darling, I miss you!" Masaharu tackles me into a hug from behind, and I almost die from the lack of air. "You don't know how hard it was to be unable to see your face for the whole weekend!" He tightens his grip on me!

ACK! Need air, I can't breath!

"Let her go now Niou!" YEAH! My knight in shining armor, Gen-chan! "Or else you'll be running extra laps at the practice!" The usual scowl is on Gen-chan's face, meaning he's totally serious.

I LOVE YOU, GEN! Take that, Masaharu!

I grin victoriously as Masaharu releases me with a pout. "Thank you, Gen." I turn to smile sweetly at the stoic fukubuchou. Ooh… He's blushing! "Are you on your way to class?"

"I need to speak with Yukimura about the practice," I sigh inwardly as I hear the word 'practice' out from my crush's mouth. Che! Fine, think about tennis and other stuff for all I care!

If he doesn't ask me out soon, I'm SO going to move on from him!! CHA!!!

I proceed to ignore Genichirou and stomp towards my seat. HMPH! Let's ignore him for the rest of the day for being insensitive! "Shouldn't you be going back to your class now, Sanada? School is about to start, you know?" I rummage through my bag without looking at him.

The awkward silence ensues, and I'm saved by the bell that I usually hate so much. Yeah for the bell for once!

"Alrighty class, today we have a transfer student! Make him feel welcome, ok?" Yamato-sensei walks into the class and announces so cheerfully despite our blank, dead stares we direct at him…

…He's way too cheerful on Monday; it's scary!

I groan as soon as the female students start squealing like a bunch of hormonal crazed girls… I'll bet one hundred percent that this transfer student is a guy, and must be quite good-looking at that.

…Oh well, no one can beat Gen-chan! Even though he pisses me off right now… Grr…

I roll my eyes and look up to see this 'transfer' dude. Probably it's just the girls' being over reactive again at the sight of the carrier of Y chromosome AKA boys!

Brilliant amber meets my blue ones… HOLY HELL…

HE'S BURNING HOT!!!! CALL 911!!! FIRE DEPARTMENT!!!

Hold on a moment… He looks familiar… Tall, athletic built, slightly tanned skin, sharp, brilliant amber eyes and stylishly layered black mane… I've seen him before…

Oh. OH! Now I know who!

"Nikolai? What are you doing here?" I exclaim despite the incredulous stares I'm receiving from the teacher and my classmates. Who cares! This is my childhood friend and my first crush, you know!

Nikolai Lucas Reyes of the Reyes Noble House in Spain! His family is my mother's family's friend!

Amber eyes sparkle in delight as he chuckles. "It took you long enough to realize, honey." He grins, and I see the girls swoon. "I'm here for you, of course. Didn't I tell you I'll definitely come to study in Japan some day?"

…Shite, he did, but I don't remember… Oh well, not like I'll tell him, right?

"My name's Nikolai Reyes, please call me Nikolai." He grins boyishly. Aww, he still has those charms of his! "Pleasure to meet you all," he speaks with perfect Japanese!

…And he is greeted with really loud screams from the girls… (Sans me, of course!)

"All right, settle down, ladies." Yamato-sensei says with a clap to get our attention. "Since Nikolai and Kisaki seem to know each other before, Nikolai, you may sit next to her." YEAH! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SENSEI!

Thank you for giving me another sane person to talk to in this class!

Nikolai and I share a wicked smile as he sits down on my left hand side (Masaharu sits behind me, and Seiichi in front of me). "I hope you will take a good care of me, princess." He grins.

I laugh lightly. "Oh, I'm sure I will, Niko." I wink discreetly, and he chuckles.

It's going to be more fun with Genichirou now when Nikolai is around… If Gen doesn't make his move soon… Then I'm sure Nikolai will be more than willing to ask me out in his place. After all, the worst thing to do is holding on to someone who doesn't want to be held on to…

And I don't think I'll mind… After all, why bother stick around so much if all my efforts are going to be futile?

…And so super Kisaki Kasumi's special plan begins! MWAHAHA!!!

Lunch…

I hum happily as I pull Nikolai out of the classroom with me. Yup, we have a lot of catching up to do! And no worries that the Rikkai Dai's tennis boys shall starve because I've given the lunchbox to Seiichi already!

I'm going to eat my lunch with Nikolai! Mwahaha!

I wave at Bunta and Jackal's surprised looks, Hiroshi's curious stare, Renji's closed-eye stare, Akaya's puppy dog look, Genichirou's scowl and last but not least the smiling Seiichi and Masaharu.

…They're up to something, but I'll get that out from them later!

"They are the tennis guys you always told me about, right?" He asks as we walk along the corridor and receiving the stares from many students we pass. "Why don't we eat with them?" Amber eyes watch me amusedly, and I scowl.

Damn Nikolai for being able to read me well!

I grin sweetly. "Well, let's just say that I'm currently annoyed with one of them."

"You mean your crush? I'm hurt, hun." He gives me a mock-dejected look before laughing. "So you're using me to get back at him, huh? That's so like you," amber eyes sparkle mischievously. "But that's what I like about you any way."

I pull up the biggest puppy dog eyes that can even melt Nii-san's foul mood to aim them at my childhood friend. "So this means you'll help me?" I ask hopefully with a pout.

He groans but smiles nonetheless. "Yes, yes, I can never win against your puppy eyes. I'll just make him jealous and annoy, right?"

YES! You're a genius, Nikolai! Watch out Genichirou, here we come!

"But first thing first, let's go have lunch with your 'boys', I wanna get to know them." He tugs me towards where the tennis regulars' are sitting.

WHAT!?

I splutter incoherently and fail to free myself from Nikolai's EBIL grasp. WAH!!!! I'm going to shoot him! I shouldn't have asked him to help me!!! "Yo guys, can we sit with you?" He asks Seiichi with a friendly smile, and I want nothing more than beat him to a mere pulp.

He should be asking me, not Seiichi, dammit!

I wanna die right there and then when Masaharu and Seiichi share a mischievous grin. "Any friend of Kasumi-hime is our friend too, please, come sit with us." Seiichi smiles sweetly. "Renji, move over a bit, would you?" The data man of our team shrugs and moves to give more space for me and Nikolai.

…And I just have to be put right in front of Genichirou out of all people… To make it better, I'm stuck in between Nikolai and Seiichi!

NOOO!!! Kami-sama, please don't give me another hell to deal with!!!

"So, Nikolai, right?" Masaharu's silver-blue eyes gleam mischievously, and I gulp. "Tell us about Kasumi and your relationship, would you?" He smirks despite my 'I'm-so-going-to-maim-you-and-you'll-wish-I'd-just-kill-you' glare. "Give us all the details, mate."

I grab a sandwich from the bento in front of me and shove it into Nikolai's mouth as soon as he opens it. "Oops, sorry, Nikolai, you should eat faster, you know? Our lunch break ends in about twenty minutes!" I exclaim dramatically.

Yes, I know that sounds lame. But I'd do absolutely anything to stop Nikolai's tongue from wagging right now!

Five minutes before the lunch bell sounds, I jump out of my seat and drag Masaharu back to the classroom with me. I purposefully leave Nikolai behind with Genichirou and Seiichi… Hehehe! This will be fun to know the outcome later!

I start cackling and rubbing my hands together in the EBIL way. "Babe, as much as I love you, you're quite scary at the moment…" Masaharu sweatdrops slightly, and I ignore him.

"Shut up, Haru. I'll get the details from Nikolai later."

A sleek silver-blue eyebrow shots up. "You purposefully left that dude there?" He snickers. "Damn, you are a genius, love." He leans over my shoulder to see things going on between Nikolai, Genichirou and Seiichi (Akaya already went back to class, Bunta, Hiroshi and Jackal, too. As for Renji, he stays at the sideline to observe). "So hard to hear what they're saying though… Tell me the details later."

I shush him. "They're talking. Let's go."

If I miss out any part, Nikolai will be running a few laps that can rival the number of hair on his head! CHA!

Normal POV

Sanada glares at the Spanish boy in front of him in open disdain as the said boy smirks at him. Europeans and their holier-than-thou attitudes… "I'm sure I don't have anything on my face, Reyes." Rikkai's boy's tennis team's vice captain scowls. "If you'd please excuse me," he turns to leave.

Nikolai laughs, "Well, Sanada, thanks for the head-up." Amber clashes with onyx as Sanada turns to scowl at the Spanish.

"Explain yourself, Reyes." He snaps impatiently at the newcomer.

How dare he waltz into the scene and snatch Kasumi's attention away from us, from me!

The Spanish shrugs nonchalantly while sporting a satisfied smirk on his face. "It seems that you're not going to do anything soon, so how about you leave the job to me instead?" He straightens himself to his full height, towering slightly over the tall tennis' fukubuchou. "I know Kasumi since she was young; I was her first love and she was, and still is, the one I hold dear. She's interesting and I like her. But unlike you, I'm not afraid to let her know." Amber eyes clash with onyx in a challenging manner. "And for hesitating and refraining yourself, I thank you for giving me this opportunity." The taller boy bows mockingly before turning away elegantly.

Sanada frowns deeper. "What makes you think she will say yes to you?"

"What makes you think she'll say no, Sanada?" Nikolai smiles mysteriously upon seeing Sanada hesitates to answer. "That's exactly my point, good day." The young noble walks away swiftly. "I'll give you until Valentine's day, do something or you'll lose her."

…I need to do something or I'll lose her…

I need to do something… It's only one and a half week away from Valentine…

…But what do I need to do?

Kasumi's POV

14th February, Rikkai Dai High School…

…I'm in deep shite…

Why? Let me tell you something scary… It's VALENTINE DAY!!!

I swallow thickly as Nii-san drives his black corvette coupe through the main entrance of the school. From my last two Valentine's experience at this school I can safely say that it'll be the same as the previous years in this one…

Helmet? Check! A wooden katana? Check! A pair of running shoes, running shorts and light and snuck bag pack for school? Check, check and check!!!

YOSH! I'm ready for school today! CHA! Kasumi fight-o!!!

"…You look like you're about to enter a war zone," Nii-san comments amusedly as he watches me preparing to get off the car. "Is this the reason why you ask me to drive you here today?"

I give my brother a puppy pout, "At least I can be sure that I'll be safe until I enter that building if you drop me off, Nii-san." I give him a puppy dog look.

Mwahaha! Even Nii-san can't stand this look!!! He's so not immune to it and that's how I got him to drop me off here today! CHA!

Kenta Nii-san gives me an affectionate smile as I give him 'the look'. "Take care of yourself and don't get crushed, hm? I'll pick you up after school to make sure you survive." He reaches over and pats my head slightly. "Now, as for your bodyguard of the day…" Nii-san pulls out his mobile phone and starts typing rapidly into it before smirking. "He'll be here soon," Nii-san announces.

…Do I even want to know what he's doing? I think not!

I keep giving Nii-san a confused look until somebody taps the side of the car lightly and Nii-san rolls the window down, "So you've been keeping her, huh, Kenta?" NOO!!! Why does it have to be Nikolai!? "C'mon then, princess, everybody is waiting for you, hun." He holds the door open for me, and I've no choice but to step out from the car.

…And just by stepping out of the cars I can hear the guys' voices in the background shouting 'she's here!', 'she's only with Reyes!', 'I hope I'll get one of her chocolate this year!', etc, etc. I gulp at the feeling of expected eyes upon me…

Now you see why I'm so scared of Valentine in Rikkai Dai? I have all rights to be, dammit!

"Make sure I get her back in one piece, Nikolai!" Nii-san's shout makes me want to dig a hole and hide in there forever. Nii-san! I'm touched you're worried about me, but you don't have to shout it out for the whole school to know! "And don't you dare try anything funny with her!" The black car speeds off before I can shout back at Kenta Nii-san…

ARGH!!! I'm going to slip some poison into Nii-san's chocolate later on!!! He's so getting it!!!

"Are you ready, princess? Here comes the princes," Nikolai sweeps his arm out dramatically as flashes of black and red crash against me, sending me flying into someone's arms quite painfully at that!

RAWR!! Let's kill them for hitting us! DIE!

"Nee-san/Kasumi, I want my chocolate!!!" …I should've known that it'd be Akayaand Bunta who do this kind of thing… They did it in the previous years as well, so it's no surprise that they're doing this again this year! "Hey! I say it first!" They start bickering at each other.

Perfect time to sneak away! Get a move on, agent Kisaki! You shall not be discovered by the enemies' eyes if you move fast!!!

The chocolates are mine!!! You're not getting them!!!MWAHAHA!!!

A minty scent wafts through my nose and I curse slightly as I realize who grabs me just now. "Going somewhere, babe?" Masaharu's familiar amused drawl greets me. "Not that I don't understand why you wanna get away from those two idiots, though." He smirks as Bunta and Akaya turns to glare at him.

I smile at my best friend's comment, "Not getting any chocolate this year, Haru? Your popularity sure is dropping," I tease the trickster and smirk at him. "I bet Hiroshi gets a lot, didn't he?"

The trickster of Rikkai grins wolfishly at me. "Well, for your information, darling, we're all waiting to get chocolate from you first." He drawls and leans forward until his silver-blue bangs touch my forehead. "I wouldn't mind a kiss instead of chocolate either." He teases.

…Some times I just wish that Genichirou would have this kind of flirtatious personality like Masaharu! If he does I'd be up on cloud ninety-nine by now!

Wait; if he's flirtatious and flirts with other girls then I don't want that any more! ARGH! It's so hard to make up my mind!!!

I fake a dramatic sigh and reach into my bag, "Oh well, here's yours, Masaharu." I toss him a medium-size box, and Haru catches it with a 'cat-got-the-cream' smirk.

"Is it hand made for me? I'm touched, sweetheart." He snickers as I glare at him playfully. "Oh well, I'm off to get the rest then. This one's going to be my lucky charm," before I can reply Masaharu leans forward and kiss my cheek!!! "Later, babe, idiots!" He runs off with a smirk, leaving me to splutter at his action…

…DAMN HIM!!! DAMN THAT TRICKSTER!!! ARGH!!!

"Kasumi," Seiichi's 'angelic' voice comes from behind me as I give Bunta and Akaya their chocolates. I turn around and find myself staring at Seiichi and Genichirou. "We should head to class now, the first period is about to start," Seiichi says casually.

I gulp back the sudden nervousness. "Seiichi, how long have you been here?" I ask slowly.

Seiichi gives me a very innocent smile. "Why, I've been here long enough to see Masaharu kissed your cheek, isn't that sweet, right, Genichirou?" He turns to ask the stoic fukubuchou besides me.

NOO!!! Genichirou saw that as well!? ARGH!!! I wanna die!!!

"I can explain that," I say sheepishly. "Masaharu just want to play around as usual, you know that." I look at Genichirou, half-expected him to at least show a sign of jealousy.

…Why am I so disappointed not to see anything there? I should've been prepared a long time ago ever since I've known Sanada Genichirou and his personality!

"Is that mine?" Seiichi asks as he looks at the two boxes in my hands. I nod blankly and hand him one, "Thanks, dear. Then that other one's Genichirou's, right?"

I snap myself out of my thoughts and blush slightly. "Yeah, here is yours, Genichirou." I offer the box to him. "I hope you'll like it."

ARGH!!! I'm so embarrassed!!! I don't know why, but I shouldn't be! I've been giving the boys chocolate for two years already!!!

To my surprise, Genichirou simply stares at the box in my hands. "I don't like sweet. If you would excuse me," he gives Seiichi and me a curt nod before stalking away without glancing back even once.

…How can I say this? It's… painful… It's like he doesn't see me in his eyes any more…

I must admit I've imagined the pain to be somewhat raw, but it might be because I've given the thought of giving up on Genichirou for some time now that helps numbing the pain a little…

It also may be because Nikolai is here, too.

I ignore Seiichi's worried look and drags my feet towards the classroom, enter the classroom and sit down quietly without even greet back any one who greets me. I only look up when I notice Nikolai sitting down beside me with a serious look on his face.

It's not often that I see this side of Nikolai, but whenever he's serious, he's still hot as hell!!!

…I'm not in the mood, conscience. Nice try, though.

Amber eyes sweep over me before those orbs burn bright with rage, "He hurts you." For anyone else that sentence would sound like a question, but I've known Nikolai long enough to realize that it is a statement…

…AVERY angry statement at that.

I try to give him a smile but it comes out as a grimace instead. "Estoy bien, Nikolai, soy realmente fino." I try to appease my obviously enraged childhood friend. "Esto no dolió, no preocupar."

(A/N: She's saying "I'm fine, I'm really fine" and "it doesn't hurt, don't worry" to try and soothe him!)

"Tonta," Nikolai hisses in a low voice because the teacher has just entered the classroom. "Lo mataré, él hace daño a usted!" And before I can say anything else he whips his head back to concentrate on what the teacher is starting to say.

…See why I hate Valentine? Too much drama, that's why!!!

(A/N: Nikolai said "bullocks" and "I'll kill him, he hurts you" respectively!)

Lunch time, that day… (Time sure flies in this one shot, no? XD)

Normal Point of View

An enraged Nikolai is the image the students of Rikkai Dai have never seen before. Even as a foreigner who stands out, Nikolai Reyes is a very polite and friendly person, thus making him very popular and well-liked to all.

What makes him furious, indeed? That is the question in all students' mind as the Spanish teen storms through the corridors towards the other third-year class, ignoring the stares directing at him altogether as he swings the door open violently.

Amber eyes flash a hell-fire at the sight of the object of his search, promising death to any thing, or rather someone, who dares piss the owner of the said orbs off. "Sanada, I need to talk to you." The Spanish growls at the stoic fukubuchou surrounds by the female students. "Now, Sanada," Nikolai grits out.

A female student walks over to the male tennis' team's fukubuchou with a box chocolate in her hand, "Sanada-san, please take this," she begins shyly.

Sanada's emotionless onyx eyes meet Nikolai's furious amber for a brief moment. Turning to the girl, the stoic fukubuchou of tennis team nods slightly, "Thank you."

Everybody is sure they hear something inside of Nikolai snaps. Well, literally any way.

Amber eyes burn so bright despite the calm look on the Spanish boy's face, "Very well, then, Sanada, I believe I've got my answer now." Nikolai Reyes smiles mysteriously, "Thanks for giving me the chance to propose to her, Sanada. I'll remember to get you an invitation to our wedding," with all that said and done, the noble stalks off elegantly in the way that is worthy of every ounce of his noble's blood at everybody's confused look.

Sanada follows the heir of the noble family out. "Reyes, wait."

Amber clashes with onyx as Nikolai's face breaks into a slow smirk, "Why, Sanada, you want to be my best man?" He jeers at his 'rival'. "Or do you have suggestion to what Kasumi likes?"

Sanada glares at the Reyes' heir, "Do explain yourself, Reyes."

His answer comes with a shrug and a leer, "do you think an heir to the noble family gets that many choice for his bride? I can tell you right now that I don't." Nikolai pauses dramatically. "But guess what? Nobody in my family opposes having Kasumi as an addition to our family, and I don't mind being with her for the rest of my life. I must thank you for giving me a chance, indeed."

Onyx eyes burn with determination as they look into the bright amber eyes, "I'm not giving her up without a fight, Reyes." Sanada replies seriously.

After a long staring competition, Nikolai smirks, "I wouldn't think so, too." The Reyes' heir tosses the tennis' fukubuchou a familiar box, "I'm giving you another chance to correct your mistake. Open it, now."

Sanada gives him a weird stare, "Why do I have to open it in front of you?"

"I'm helping you, baboso. Just open it," Nikolai sighs tiredly, "open it and tell me what shape your chocolate is."

If Sanada thinks it's a weird request, he hides his emotion well as he carefully opens the box. A piece of familiar flower-shaped chocolate greets his sight, "…It's a tulip."

The Reyes' heir nods, "I would never expect any less from Kasumi." He smirks. "Do you know what a tulip means, Sanada? I'll tell you what it means…"

(Kasumi's point of view)

Later that afternoon…

Left coast?

Clear!

…Right coast?

Clear!

I poke my head out from the corner to look around the corridor but quickly duck back in as a group of third-year boys walk pass. "Have you seen Kisaki-san?" One of them asks another.

"No, keep looking and maybe we will." The sound of the footsteps pass by the room I'm hiding in… WAHH!!! I HATE VALENTINE!!!

…ARGH!!! Where is Nikolai!? Don't tell me he's off wreaking havoc already!

I scowl as I continue to search for my childhood friend through the building discreetly and avoiding run-in with any group of boys trying to look for me. I so don't like this! Even Seiichi's evilness doesn't keep these boys away on Valentine day! I don't know why, maybe Seiichi's EBILNESS is decreasing and they're not scared of him that much so they're chasing me?

…You're crazy to even think it's decreasing! Remember last time he made Bunta and Jackal run until those two collapsed because they were messing around in the practice!? You call that not ebil!?

…Yeah, I totally forgot about that! Anyway, I'd take those words back… Yukimura Seiichi is ebil and there's no point trying to argue about that, period!!!

Aha! I think I've found him!

"Niko-, oh, sorry, Sanada," I offer the tennis team's fukubuchou a sheepish smile and look any where but into his onyx eyes. "I thought you were Nikolai from far away… But anyway, I'll be on my way now. See you at the practice, Sanada." I quickly turn away from the stoic boy and about to break out in a dash for my life and pride…

…But Sanada Genichirou grabs me by my wrist, spins me around and pulls me against him that is!!!

OOH, this feels so good! His muscles are so taut and rippling underneath that shirt! Let's rip his shirt off to see those muscles!!! MWAHAHA!!

…ARGH! Keep that pervert thoughts away for once, would you? Help me figure out how to get out of here!!!

"Sanada, what are you doing?" I ask him stiffly as his manly bergamot scent overdrives my senses. He smells good… He always does smell so damn good! "People will see, you wouldn't want that, right?" I force back all the feelings of hurt and rejection I've felt from the morning to the back of my mind…

"Reyes told me everything," I blush at the hot breath fanning against the crook of my neck… Too close! This is not good for my heart!!! "I'm so sorry if I've hurt you, I really am."

I feel my heart thumping madly against my chest. However, I keep my cool exterior… Why does he even care? He doesn't like me, doesn't he? If he doesn't like me, then stop giving me all false hopes already! "I forgive you, Sanada. If you're done apologizing please let me go." I say in a monotone. "You don't feel anything for me, don't you? So please stop making me think you like me and let me go," I give myself a mental pat on the back as I manage to keep my voice still.

…He's already hurt me more than I deserve, how can he be so cruel?

…And I love him more than he deserve, how can I be so foolish? And should I just smile at him and tell him to let bygones be bygones, and that we are friends again. Or should I cry because that's all he'll ever think of me as?

For once when it comes to Sanada Genichirou, I don't know what to do. I really don't have a single clue as of what to do when it comes to him. He just drives me crazy!

"El mayor obstáculo para el amor es el temor secreto de no ser dignos de ser amados…" Is he saying what I think he is saying!? "I thought that I was going to lose you to others so I pushed you away because I don't want to get hurt, I'm sorry. I thought you were just playing with me. I'm sorry I thought of you that way."

Oh, so he doesn't want to get hurt, but he hurts me instead! Nice excuse, Sanada!

"What did Nikolai tell you?" I ask in a bored voice. "Did he order you to apologize?"

If Nikolai says something funny, I'll definitely tie him up to a post and have him as Strike's playmate! CHA!

"He…told me about how he would take you away with him." The arms around me tighten, and I feel the heat on my cheeks increasing. "I-I don't want to lose you… Not to Niou, not to Reyes, not to anyone.Iloveyou." The last part comes out in a soft whisper and I practically strain my ears trying to catch the words he said.

Wait, he said he loves me! HE SAID HE LOVES ME!!! YES!!!

THANK YOU KAMI-SAMA! I swear I won't secretly plot the way to kill the Regulars anymore!! Let's see, I'll try to be more discreet by feeding them my invention bits by bits every day! MWAHAHA!!!

…But first thing first… Let's play a 'get-Gen-to-talk-more' game!

I look up into his dark onyx eyes. "What did you say?" I demand innocently and pretend to be oblivious to the blush on his tanned features. "I didn't hear the last part quite well."

Mwahaha! This is fun! YEAH!

"I-I… I said I want you to go out with me," I almost grin at the dark blush on his face. He's so cute like this! "S-So… Can we…uh…date?"

I pretend to think, "I'm sure it was shorter than that. It was only three-syllable sentence." I hum thoughtfully. "You sure you got it right, Genichirou?"

Genichirou seems to get all jittery at once, and I almost laugh out loud but keep staring at him. "I said I love you, Kasumi." He covers his face with his hand to hide his blush and tries to scowl as I grin at him. "I should've known you'll play with me again," he mutters irritably.

I give him a sweet smile and rest my forehead against his shoulder. "Tu amor vale más que
millones de estrellas..." I grin wider at his confused look and straighten myself to kiss his cheek. "Te amo, Sanada Genichirou, those three words have my life in them. So keep it here, ne?" I tap his left chest with a bright smile. "And yes, I was waiting for you to ask me, and what took you so long anyway?" I demand playfully.

Genichirou chuckles and I almost melt at the richness of his chuckle. SEXY! I just scored myself a boyfriend who can be very bad for my heart!!! "I'll make it up to you, really." He reaches for my hand, and I gladly let him holds it. "This feels good."

I nod and relish in the feelings of our joined hands. "Yeah, this feels really good."

I bet it would feel hell better if he gives me a strip show! Mwahaha!!!

"Kasumi," I stop and turn to stare into his dark eyes. "Reyes told me about the chocolate you made; I love it, thank you." He raises our joined hands to his lips and kisses it. "Reyes told me that tulips were for declaration of love or symbol of perfect lover, I'll try to be that for you." He gives me a soft look, and I blush. "Though you are already the best Valentine's present for me this year."

…I'm sorry, but the number you dialed cannot be reached. Please try later when Mini Kasumi is revived from her unconscious state due to Sanada Genichirou's certain action...

I smile sincerely. "Well, at least this means I get to pull strings and skip practices, right?" I snicker at his scowl. "I'm just kidding, Genichirou."

He smirks slightly. "If you skip, I'll call Shiraishi to send Zaizen to your house and I'll drag Kirihara to go there as well." He says simply with a raised eyebrow.

Oh hell no! No Hikaru and Akaya together in the same place, and definitely not my house, please!!!

I pout dejectedly. "You're so mean, Gen." I smile as he looks at me. "So are we going to tell the others?"

He smirks. "I'll let you do the job, I'm sure you'll love it." He bends down to kiss my forehead with such gentleness that makes me blushes madly. "If I know what love is, then it is because of you, thank you." He whispers with a soft smile.

Sometimes you love simply because you cannot help it… True love doesn't have a happy ending, because it doesn't have an ending… And for us, our love has just begun… And I'll make the most of it with him, I'll be sure of that!

But now… I'll get him to hug me with that gorgeous body of him first! MWAHAHAHA! Kasumi fight-o!!!

(In the corner of that corridor…)

"…Hey, Nikolai, you sure you're going to let her go easily like that?"

Shrug nonchalantly. "I wasn't lying when I told Sanada I'm giving him a chance, Niou. Besides, I get to torture him along with her big brother so it'll be more fun this way." Smirk. "You seriously think that Kenta-san didn't do anything to me when I first dated her? Can you imagine what he'd test Sanada with when he found out? Now that is what I call fun, my friend."

Smirk evilly. "Glad somebody is enjoying pulling pranks as much as I do," snicker.

"So when do you think we should tell Kenta?"

"Hmm… Let's give them a while to enjoy their time together, then we can start trying to piss Sanada off just to see how long he would take to snap at us."

"Yeah, let's go find Yukimura. I'm sure he'd love this plan."Evil laughters echo down the corridors. "He'd no doubt join in."

"I can never agree more on that."

…DONE!!!

I'm so tired and digging every thing I've got up to write this one-shot. Sanada is really hard to write, and I think I'm losing touch. (

A few translations from the story. Gen said that 'The biggest obstacle for the love is the secret fear of not being worth being dear', and Kasumi said 'your love worth more than million stars.'!

I tried making Nikolai looking like Genichirou in a way, save for the amber eyes part… I had fun imagining him while writing this story!!!

Now I can concentrate on the other story for a while and I'm trying to juggle my university works and this around as well, please bear with me, everybody!

I'll try my best to update and won't let you down! CHA! Cerberus fight-o!

Please review and tell me what you think!!! XD
