The next day at school is like any other. The students stay out beside the water fountain at break, and the cherry blossom blooms and falls down gently in the breeze.

Ayano-chan walks across the yard, right outside the Dojo, where the Martial Arts club is held. The window of the Dojo is open, and while Budo is busy teaching a lesson to the class, he looks out of the window to see Ayano outside.

Ayano is under the cherry blossom tree, and although she knows that Budo is watching her, she pretends not to know. The wind gently blows, making her pony tail and fringe flutter. As the blossom petals dance around her, Ayano laughs and reaches out to touch them. She allows the blossoms to fall in her hair like a beautiful, fragile crown.

"Hey, Budo-kun? Budo!" Sho Kunin rested his arm on Budo's shoulder. "What are you looking at?"

Budo turns away from the window, his cheeks lightly dusted pink. He grins at his friend. "Oh, I just got a bit distracted, sorry. Where were we?"

Sho shakes his head. "The others already packed up and left." Sho's glance turns towards the window, and he smiles, understanding.

"Oh, I see! You were busy staring at that girl, hmm?" Sho raises his eyebrows at Budo.

Budo frowns "No, no..." He says airily, scratching the back of his head, smiling gently "Nothing like that..."

Suddenly, Ayano-chan turns her head around to face the Dojo, pretending to spot Budo behind the open window. Her face breaks into a cheeky, cute grin, and she waves over to Sho and Budo, who wave back.

"I don't really recognise her," Sho ponders, staring off in the distance "But obviously she must go to our school."

"Her name is Ayano Aishi, and she's in the class below us." Budo murmers. He couldn't take his eyes off Ayano-chan.

"You seem to know a lot about her. Oh, she's coming this way now, I'll leave you two to it!" Sho winks at Budo, and before Budo can say anything back, Sho quickly grabs his bag and exits through the door.

Budo places a hand on the window sill, trying to organise his thoughts. The wind felt gentle and calming on his face. Budo imagines Ayano-chan playing outside under the blossom tree, the sakura falling around her.

...Only this time, Budo was with her, holding her hand as the cherry blossom fell around them together. Budo would sit under the blossom tree in the shade, with Ayano's head resting on his lap, and he'd tell Ayano stories about the greatest Karate masters in history- no.

He'd whisper words of magic into her silky, dark grey hair, words he made up, words she wanted to hear, so long as she would flash that beautiful smile at Budo again and again... Just for him.

"Budo Senpai?"

Budo's eyes widen after being woken up from his lovely daydream. Ayano was here! Quickly setting himself to his usual, enthusiastic composure, Budo spins around to face Ayano with a gentle smile, arms folded over his muscular chest like usual.

His cheeks start to flush as soon as he turns around; Ayano-chan still has petals in her hair. Ayano grins as soon as she sees this reaction. Everything is going according to plan.

'Now I understand why the girls always wear flowers in their hair' Ayano thinks to herself, understanding.

As the two happily speak together, Sho watches them, admiring how they get along so well, as he sneakily pokes his head through the dojo door. He is happy for his friend Budo. Sho sighs, smiles and wonders when he'll find his loved one.

As the second-class bell rings, Ayano and Budo go their separate ways. As Ayano-chan rushes out of the Dojo, the petals swiftly fall out of her hair and onto the karate mat. Ayano stops dead in her tracks, however Budo, yet again, collects them for her.

"Budo Senpai... You really don't have too..." Ayano says, a little smug as she watches Budo crawling on his knees, collecting the petals she dropped.

"Haha, it's okay." Budo jumps to his feet again, with his arms folded, swaying side to side a little, and grinning very cheerfully. "I'm always happy to help you with whatever, Ayano-chan! That's a promise."

Ayano is very pleased to hear this. She leans closer to Budo, sliding a fingernail under his chin. Budo tenses a little, but remains silent.

"You better keep that promise, then... Budo Senpai." is all she whispers to him.

She winks at him, and walks out of the Dojo to her next lesson, sashaying a little.

"Yeah... Of course..." Budo mumbles, spell bound and love struck, but it's too late. Ayano had long gone to second class.

Ayano scowls and returns to her usual pace as she enters the next classroom.

'Just keep going... This is all for Senpai..."
.
.

Budo felt the slow, light pink flush on his cheeks.

'What's up with me today? I'm usually so collected and together.' Budo wonders to himself. 'Do I... Have feelings for Ayano-chan?'

Budo goes to his next class in confusion, his mind whirring with thoughts about Ayano Aishi.

Her beautiful, dark grey eyes seemed like pools of every colour in the rainbow to Budo, that if he explored to deep into Ayano's world, he may just fall in.

Budo would be prepared if Ayano was to wear petals in her hair everyday, so long as he could pick them out every day, just for her

And her soft pink lips and amazing smile... Budo would do anything, anything for Ayano, just to keep her happy so that he may get a chance of seeing her stunning smile once again.

Budo smiles to himself, lost in the colourful world of daydreams and not the stuffy classroom. After thinking his feelings for Ayano through properly, Budo decides his feelings for her are true and decides to confess to Ayano tommorow, by the water fountain.

Besides, Budo was so dedicated to Martial Arts, so he could totally be the perfect person for Ayano, totally dedicated to her.

If only he knew it was all a lie...

After stalking Taro Senpai afterschool and watching him go safely into his home, Ayano arrives at her own empty house.

She logs onto the computer before going to bed, and signs on to a website.

Ayano-chan laughs wickedly at her plan. Now all she had to do was get rid of that Osana Najimi.

Her phone beeps with a message:

'Waiting for good results tommorow. The information on Osana is sending now' ~Info-chan.

Ayano couldn't wait for tomorrow.
