[I promised Deathvoltz I'd have Chapter 3 up...So, to save disappointment = Here you go buddy! ;D]

Chapter 3 - How to Pin down a Tank Enthusiast

(Chapter Begin)

Miho woke up relatively early the following morning and went to school. She stood by the gates and waited. Yukari would be here soon. This much she knew.

Yukari was attempting to avoid her because she loved her...The more Miho thought about it, the more she understood. Simple put - If you thought your crush would hate you if you came out in front of them...

"Good Morning Commander"

Miho jumped and spun to see Midoriko looking at her. "You're here early"

Miho nodded. "I know"

Midoriko looked to the distance and sighed. "Great...More students. Lemme guess, are you waiting for Akiyama-San?"

Miho went slightly red in the face as Midoriko laughed. "Thought so"

Miho looked at her. "I assume you are waiting for Mako?"

Midoriko almost fell over her clipboard as Miho giggled. "Looks like we are two people looking for the people we are suspicious off"

"Suspicious? Nah"

Miho glanced at her. "What?"

"Simply put? I know she likes me, I like her back. Simple"

Miho was nervous in moments. "I...Uhhh..."

"What?" Midoriko looked at Miho. "You don't like Yukari?"

Miho looked down. "I do..." She shuffled. "I just...Don't know how to break it to her"

"Why don't you confess in front of the gate and be done with it?"

With her head down Miho didn't notice that it wasn't Midoriko that had spoken.

Miho fidgeted as she looked up at Midoriko and tilted her head to the right. "Eh? What? Didn't you just-"

Midoriko smirked as she nodded at someone else who was stood in front of Miho - Nigel Rivers.

Miho almost lost it as her eyes connected with Nigel's. She growled. "You..."

Midoriko sighed in frustration. "Look Nishizumi-Chan, he's obviously here to help you"

"No, he loves Yukari!"

Midoriko was about to express her shock when Nigel cleared his throat.

"I think you'll find I love both you and Yukari."

Miho froze in place. What did this...This guy just say?

"...What did you say?"

Nigel readjusted his suit he was wearing. "I said I love you and Yukari. Yukari has a soft yet bubble-like personality and you...Well, I don't have to say much do I?"

Miho was frozen as Midoriko waved her hands in front of her, then looked to Nigel. "You stay on this side of the gates until the principle arrives. School ord-AHHH!"

Miho came out of her frozen-like state upon hearing Midoriko's scream, looking at Nigel first, then to Mako who had grabbed Midoriko from the waist as she drags her away. "Attendance! ATTENDANCE! I HAVE A JOB TO DO!"

"That can wait Sodoko"

Midoriko gasped when she felt Mako put her hand somewhere she would rather she hadn't. "This is abuse of-" She was cut off as Mako kissed her - Pulling her into the hangers and Miho giggled nervously. "We won't be seeing them for awhile..."

Nigel smiled melancholy at the hangers and then glanced behind himself. "Good morning...Yukari Akiyama"

Miho snapped her vision up to see Yukari yelp and dive behind a car. "Too late...Yukari-San"

Yukari got up and smacked her head on the car earning the alarm to go off. "Owch..." She rubbed her head while the owner started to shout at her - Making her race up to Miho and cling to her.

"Now, now, what have we...Morning Rivers"

Nigel nodded at Midoriko who had returned - Albeit with frizzled hair. "I see you got away from Reizei-San"

"Barely, I mean you have no idea-HEY!" Midoriko felt herself be picked up and carried, bridal style, away from the school. "I'll have you for this!"

Nigel chuckled as he turned to Yukari and Miho. The former was being given a lecture from one of the teachers for smacking her head on his car - While Miho chuckled nervously.

"So..."

Miho and Yukari looked at him while the teacher walked back into the school - Smacking Yukari on the back of the head ("OWCH") and reminding her not to do it again...EVER. ("Sorry Sensei").

"Where should I start?"

Miho growled. "How about you start with how you met?"

Nigel put up his hands. "I already told you that" He got into a defensive posture when Miho balled her hands into fists.

"Talk...Or I deck you"

Nigel sighed. "No, I will not be threatened. I love you and Yuki here"

Yukari went red while Miho sighed. "I'm only trying to look out for her. For all I knew, you could have been a perv"

"You mean like Kay? Or Orange?"

Miho blinked. "What?"

Nigel chuckled. "Orange is more a pervert then I would ever be if I was one!"

Yukari turned around and grabbed Miho's arm. "Quiet place. Now." She ordered into Miho's ear who nodded.

"Let's go and get something to eat. School can wait I assume?"

Miho nodded slowly, feeling pressurised by Yukari now, she wanted to pressurise HER, not be PRESSURISED HERSELF!

Miho sighed as the three of them walked onward.

Today was going be a VERY long day!
