"It's official. Our class has voted to operate a rice ball stand," said Yuki.

"Next, I'd like to hear opinions on what fillings we should use."

Tohru raised a hand and stood up. "Yes! What about tricolor rice balls? It would be fun to have three fillings in one rice ball! And a good deal!"

"That's cute. I like it."

"Seriously?" one of his admirers started. "We should drop that idea. Yuki-kun!"

"Yeah, what if she suggests a tuna, kelp and pickled plum combo?" another says.

"Ugh, how gross!" they started laughing.

"The 'gross' thing here are your personalities, morons," Tohru's friend said.

"Don't bring steel pipes to school!"

"What about battle rice balls?" Kyo suggests.

"Battle?"

"One-on-one matches, first to score an Ippon wins. The only rule is 'no killing'. Weapons are allowed. People fight for their rice balls, even if they bleed, even if they lose an arm!"

Then they'd just rather make one, stupid.

"Idea rejected," the whole class says.

"What's with that attitude?! I'm cooperating and giving my idea!"

"Yours is too violent Kyo," I chuckled. I could hear whispers, from the girls, I couldn't understand what they're saying but it makes me feel uneasy.

"What if we mix in some duds?" Yuki suggested. "Maybe people who buy three could choose one more for free, but some of the choices are duds?"

"Idea accepted!"

"Why'd you accept his idea?!"

"Don't pout about it, Kyon-Kyon."

"Don't call me 'Kyon-Kyon'!" Kyo shouts.

I'm too uninterested in their conversation so I just daydreamed instead.

"Let's play Rich Man-Poor Man!" Tohru cheerfully said.

"Go to freakin' Yuki for that," Kyo denied.

"But Sohma-kun isn't here."

"Way to spoil my fun," I heard her blonde friend said.

I got up from my seat and walked in the hallways until I heard a familiar voice.

"I'm sorry," it was Yuki. "I'm just not interested in dating anyone right now. So I can't be what you-" he got cut off.

"No, I don't want to hear this!"

I couldn't resist myself not to take a peek on what's happening.

"Yuki-kun!" the girl was about to hug him, but was stopped when he cupped her face.
