"Seun Yeung?! What are you doing here?!" Mei Mei exclaimed.

"I... Found out I have an Alice... The Alice to be able to make plants grow faster and talking to plants..." he blushed.

"Raiden, you thought Mei Mei's hand was mine?!" I yelled at him. Now I wasn't going to have a date with Raiden. Now it was with Seun Yeung...

"It's not exactly EASY you know!!" he yelled at me.

"And I was aiming for Mei Mei..." he blushed again.

"ME?! Is it really that hard to guess my hand?!" Mei Mei was pissed at him. Did Mei Mei...?

"Sorry!" he sarcasticly shot back at her. Great. JUST GREAT.

"Now calling for the Fire and Lightning Battle, all people, make your bets! Would our performers please come to the stage!" the announcement called.

"I might as well go along with you Raiden!" Mei Mei glomped on him, and that got me mad.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled at her.

"He chose me! He takes me wherever he pleases!" Raiden was about to push her off, but instead... He held onto her arm!

"Fine, let's go." he swifted his nose from me, and I burned with anger.

"Come on Seun Yeung, let's go!" I swooned and held him romantically. Raiden looked at me again with a fiery look of jealousy, and so did Mei Mei.

"What...?!" she gritted her teeth.

"Fine by me." Seun Yeung held my arm and brought me along.

I waited at Seun Yeung's arm to watch the performance. Mei Mei was in the back, waiting to announce the match. I bit my tongue softly in agony. She yelled to start, and the music to announce the match started. Then I saw the boys. Each one of them were beautiful. They wore a half open white dress shirt, and black gym pants. Girls all squealed at the sight of the sexy boys. Even I, Raiden's girlfriend, felt my heart thump. Raiden shot lightning into the water below, Natsume shot fire into the wood under Raiden, and now it was a sea of death. Natsume grabbed swords he made of fire, and Raiden did the same with his powers. Natsume did a handstand on the thin rope, and everyone gasped. Raiden used his feet to walk on it. Natsume then flipped back to his feet, making the rope bounce hard, pushing them 10 feet in the air. Their swords slashed in the air, as their bodies revolved in a circle, landing perfectly back on the rope. They did a whirl of tricks, flipping, cartwheels, more handstands, air gymnastics... But now Natsume wanted to finish the fight, even though the audience was plenty entertained. He threw both his swords in the air and they disappeared. Raiden was nervous about what he was doing. Natsume had to have a plan. Suddenly, 2 fire swords came from the air and shot down at him, and they got sucked into an orb around his neck.

"It's all right ladies and gentlemen, Raiden felt no pain! The blow was sucked in by the HP orb, which can determine how much HP he has left!" Mei Mei said into the microphone. The bar on the screen with Raiden's picture above it decreased by 1/2.

"Raiden..." I said worriedly. Seun Yeung looked at me sadly.

"Does anyone have any words of encouragement? Please say it now!"

I ran to the podium where no one was standing, high above the arena, and called to him.

"Raiden!!" I yelled at him. He noticed me and looked up.

"Ayame...!" he looked at me. I smiled, and sang a song to give him courage.

Though our tires are cut on the asphalt
We still race into the night
I let my body have this cheap thrill
because tomorrow I’ll be too afraid
It’s your pain or my pain or somebody’s pain
If I have to live for someone else’s sake
It’s your dream or my dream or somebody’s dream
There’s nothing I’m scared of

Get wild and tough
Though I’m alone, I embrace an unsolved puzzle of love
Get wild and tough
I can’t rely on anyone else in this city
Get chance and luck
The one I want to protect, must be out there somewhere
Get chance and luck
Though I’m alone, I’ll get back my painful dream

"Words of love to Raiden, and he takes it well!" Mei Mei smiled cheerfully.

Raiden was energized by the love of his girlfriend now. He started juggle his lightning, then shot them at Natsume. A huge amount of damage was done, a whopping 3/4 was taken off Natsume's HP! But Mikan did the same thing I did. She yelled to him,

"Natsume! Fight, fight!!" she cheered with a smile. He got a smirk on his face, as he was now more brave than before. He bounced on the wire, making Raiden lose his balance. I gasped at the fall, but right before he was about to fall to the fiery pit below, he grabbed onto the rope and swung around, and hopped back onto the solid platform. I made a sigh of relief, but Natsume gritted his teeth. He wanted to impress his girlfriend. He cartwheeled on the rope, over to his side! This was it! Either Natsume or Raiden would win! Raiden pushed him back onto the rope, which made Natsume a bit shaky, and gave Raiden the perfect chance to attack. He went really fast to Natsume and put the lightning sword to his throat. The pendant sucked in the energy, and the game was over. Raiden won. But Natsume took it well, surprisingly. They each took their sword and clashed them together, showing respect for the opponent at the end of a match. Everyone cheered loudly, they were so excited.

Now, here's what I need to tell you. The bets they took were 5 rabbit per bet, and whoever got a winning bet got to dance with the winner at the ball, and stay in a separate private room with him at a sleepover. Natsume was pretty glad he didn't win. He got to dance with Mikan (and if he wanted, sleep together)(not in the naughty way). Me, on the other hand... I didn't make a bet. And I had NO IDEA that he would be in a harem of pretty girls, dancing with them, even sleeping in the same room with them. But I couldn't tell anyone we were going out, because then they would get pissed off at me, and maybe attack me. Raiden just wants to protect me, I know, but...

At the dance that night, all the girls who bet on Raiden gathered around. There were TONS, a hundred at least. Serina-sensei was nice enough to save a room for them all to have a sleepover. He was trying to pay attention to all the girls, when I tapped on his shoulder. MAN, did he blush. I had put on a beautiful blue velvet dress with my hair up. A sapphire necklace was around my neck.

"What...? You saw me in a dress already today." I blushed.

"Well, yeah, but..."

"Aizawa-kun, who's this girl?" one of the harem glared at me.

"Is she part of the sleepover? Ew..." one of the others scrunched up their face.

"We can't have this low-class girl come to the party... Gross..." another one pretended to be disgusted.

"Oh, I know I'm ugly," I smiled fakely, "But at least I can REALIZE I'm ugly." All the girls were furious. They were going to try and clobber me when...

"Don't you dare touch her!" Freya stepped in front of me.

"Get out of the way!" they yelled at her. Paula walked softly in front of them and looked at them with cute puppy eyes.

"Please? Leave us alone, OK?" All the girls fell in love with her cute looks and moved away with Raiden.

"It's OK. You'll get to spend some time with him soon." Freya patted me on the back.

"Wanna dance with me?" Paula stretched out her hand. I nodded and took it. We swirled around the ballroom, and everyone looked at us strangely. Apparently, it wasn't normal for a girl to dance with another girl in Japan. But it was OK. I was having fun.

"Mei Mei..." Yeung asked her. She sifted her drink a little in her glass. Mei Mei was absolutely beautiful in her Chinese style dress.

"What? Don't you have to go dance with Aya-chan?" Mei Mei pouted.

"That was one date. I want to dance with you."

"Why should I believe you?!" she exclaimed, but her came to her and kissed her on the hand.

"My lady, please, will you dance with me?" he smiled. Mei Mei blushed and said nothing, but took his hand and danced gracefully to the music.

"Well, isn't that great for them?" I giggled, now dancing with Freya.

"Yup!" Paula smiled, and took our hands to make a 3-person dance circle.

"I'm getting a bit tired." I yawned.

"Yeah, probably, you hate being in big crowds of people." Freya patted me on the head and started to lead me back to the dorms. We parted at the crossroads, but then...

"You're... Ayame, right?" a boy asked me. He was about my age, and had dark skin of an African American. His black hair was cut short, and his eyes looked like a deep pool. I nodded my head. Memories flowed through my head painfully for some reason.

"Really...? Then you're Sarah...?" he hugged me tight in my arms.

"Who are you?! Let me go!!" I yelled. He stroked my hair and made me feel warm and happy...

"Sorry... It's been a long time... 4 years..."

"Wait..." I remembered. That day, my first day of 7th grade, me and the one I loved played soccer together. I was so happy to be with him again. But we got separated, and never saw each other again...

"Sean...? Is that you...?" I looked at him. He smiled and motioned yes. I smiled and started to cry.

"Sean, you IDIOT, IDIOT!! I kept trying to mail you, and call you, but all you did was ignore me!!" I hit him on his chest. He held me to his shirt and I felt warm.

In the room with Raiden and the other girls, when almost everyone was asleep, a girl crawled up to him.

"What?" he asked her, and she giggled. A beautiful girl with long forest green hair stroked at his cheek.

"That girl... Ayame, was it? She's unfaithful."

"What are you doing?!" Raiden whispered harshly and pushed her hand off his face.

"She's with another boy right now. One she hasn't seen since she had to leave her home. She loved him, and still does." she smirked.

"That's not...!" but then Raiden thought about it.

"He couldn't save me... The one I love..." she had whispered when she was attacked by Arina. The girl pointed to the window, where Sean was hugging me tenderly. Raiden got a grim look on his face.

I was in my room sleeping, or at least, I was trying. I thought about Raiden, sleeping in the room with all those girls, and here I was, alone. My heart was still pounding from the excitement from seeing Sean again. But out of the quiet, I suddenly heard a knock at my door. I left just my nightgown on and opened it, and there was Raiden.

"Raiden, what are you doing here?" I yawned, "You should be with the girls." He looked at me firmly, and said nothing. My eyes opened a little more, then he grabbed me in his arms.

"Raiden...?"

"I don't have to stay with them all night, do I...?" he kissed me passionately on the lips. I felt my heart beating so fast, I swore it would explode. He eased me gently down on the bed, and softly brushed one of my gown straps off my shoulder, then off the other. What was he doing...?!

"No!!" I screamed and slapped him. My eyes welled up, "Is that all I am to you...?"

"No...! I just...!"

"Get out Raiden...!!" I harshly said. He went to the door and put his shirt back on.

"Is it really me you love? Or is it that other guy?" Raiden asked me. I blushed and my eyes widened.

"You saw...?!" I asked in disbelief. He slammed his fist to the door frame, and I honestly thought it would crack.

"So... You are cheating on me..." he said softly. What did he say...?

"What are you talking about Raiden?! I'm not cheating on you!!" I yelled at him.

"Then what about that other guy?" he asked me. My eyes drifted towards the floor.

"As I thought. Good night." the door slammed loudly, and I placed the bed covers to my face to absorb my tears.

In the morning, I got up and thought how I would apologize to Raiden. Sean was very important to me, but...

"Good morning, Sarah." he smiled when I left my dorm.

"Sean...? You're still here?" I asked him. He nodded.

"I'm here to visit for a while."

"Cool, but..." I put my finger to my lip, "Didn't you have a girlfriend?" I asked him.

"Yeah, a while ago, but I love you Sarah. I didn't think we'd ever see each other again." Those words made my heart pound, but it made me kind of angry.

"Sean, I always tried to keep my hope up, even if it was impossible, and look, Freya, Paula and I are together again. You just gave up on me when I tried so hard to keep in contact with you. I didn't want to turn you into a memory, not Paula or Freya either."

"But I-"

"Could you leave me alone for a little while? You've got me in enough trouble as is." I turned my back to him and ran to the classroom where Raiden, Mei Mei and Kaori were talking.

"Oh, good morning Ayame-chan." Kaori smiled, and Mei Mei said the same.

"Morning guys." I turned to Raiden, "Raiden... Can you hear me out?"

"If it's about that guy, I won't." He pouted.

"For god sakes Raiden, I'M NOT CHEATING ON YOU. I just hadn't seen him in a long time!" I slapped my hand to my forehead.

"But you were in love with him, right?!" he demanded.

"Yes, I was, but the one I love most, and my first boyfriend is YOU Raiden!" I told him, and his face went red.

"...If that guy makes another move on you, I'll sock him." he hugged me, "'Cause you're MY girl."

"Yup, I am." I smiled.
