Here we go again!

Kaorin had always been a fairly quiet, reserved girl. What most people knew though was that she was absolutely and totally obsessed by Sakaki, the one girl she had fallen in love with. Love at first sight, if you will. What most people didn't know though was that the obsession didn't stop after high school. She was floored when she had to leave her precious Sakaki for college elsewhere. She silently suffered through her college years in order to take part in her second love, astronomy. She had taken up work in a small Japanese observatory in the hills outside Osaka. She lived a simple existance of mornings, noons and nights alone and in constant near-depression. One escpecially lonely day she realized that she had run out of rice and had to make a trip to the store. Yet, little did she know that this trip would change the moment she decided to Keep It Daioh.

With a gracious air of normalcy she passed through the doors of the supermarket and entered the air conditioned cool. She immediately headed towards the "Grains and Beans" section. She hated being in crowded supermarkets, that made her quite claustrophobic. She quietly perused the rice choices until she noticed two women near the end of the aisle. To her abject terror, surprise, adulation, bone-marrow melting happiness, etc. she noticed that one looked exactly like Sakaki.

'Oh...my...god...It's Sakaki!!!!', she thought as various neurotransmiters bathed her brain in their confusing glory.

They women were loced in conversation. Everything about the one woman had 'Sakaki' written all over it. Her movements, her eyes, her hair, her well-formed...feet. Every bit of Sakaki threw Kaorin deep into her 'High School Crush' mode once more.

Deeply she wanted to run up to Sakaki. To confess everything. Confess the fact that she even still carried a picture of her in a skimpy swimsuit. Then it happened. The woman talking to Sakaki

GAVE SAKAKI A HUG

Kaorin's mind broke.

She decided to

Keep It Daioh.

Her brain roiled with a massive rage as she catapaulted herself straight at the woman. Grabbing her by the lapels she stared at her with eyes only Satan could love.

"HOW DARE YOU HUG MY PRECIOUS SAKAKI! SHE'S MINE!! ALL MINE!!", Kaorin roared as she literally hissed in the woman's face before tossing her nearly five feet down the aisle.

Wiping her hands on her skirt she turned with a smile to Sakaki.

"Oh, Sakaki I have so much to tell you...", she began but was interrupted.

"What the hell are you doing!?", Sakaki screamed.

"Huh?", Kaorin stood confused.

"And my name isn't Sakaki.", she explained before knocked Kaorin completely unconcious with one blow to the nose.

After a hospital stint for a broken nose and a quick assault case, Kaori Aida ended up serving six months behind bars. She even had to share a cell with a beastly sixty year old woman who had drowned her grandkids.

"Well...at least I Kept It Daioh...", Kaorin mused as she stared out the barred window.

"Hey, sweety. I got a surprise for ya later tonight...", the old woman chirped.

Kaorin shivered inwardly and went back to hoping that Sakaki would come on that same pale steed she had dreamt years ago.
