The Battle Royale...That Never Was: Side Stories
Chapter 24: Day 7 Revisited: Yoshio & Kaori
Day 7 2:00 PM
Kaori was lovestruck whenever it came to pop idols like Junya, whose picture was in her locket, which she carried with her around her neck every day. But although she loved recieving autographs from him, she never thought she would be more prettier enough to try and let her kiss him in front of the other crazy fangirls who were thinking the same thing.
She did look cute, however: despite her acne, she had on a pair of glasses, and although she thought of herself as an otaku at heart, she wanted to look more attractive by the time she can grow up into an adult. Trying to cope with being bullied by Hirono wasn't easy though: yesterday she refused to take on Kayoko at the balance square contest at the lake, making Mitsuko take over the role instead, and Kaori was called a chicken by the tall girl as well.
Yoshimi didn't think too highly of Hirono calling Kaori names, so she tried to break up the fight but the blue-haired girl told her not to intervene with her taunting towards the otaku until Mizuho challenged her to a staring contest and won, letting her leave the glasses-wearing girl alone...for now until perhaps dinner. And speaking of which, the otaku had been friendly towards Yoshio for the past few days, even comforting him after he lost yesterday to Kazuo at the same showdown.
Needless to say, she wanted to talk to him some more: thus Kaori went to find Yoshio reading a strategy guide for one of his favorite games under a tree.
"Um...Yoshio? Can I talk to you, please?" Kaori asked as she went towards him and sat next to him.
This surprised him but Yoshio smiled as he replied with, "Oh...sure. I don't mind. Hey, thanks for cheering me up yesterday. I was really grateful. So what's up?"
"You're welcome. If it weren't for me, you'd still be upset after losing to Kiriyama. I know he and his friends have been playing tricks on you the whole time. The same thing happened to me whenever Mitsuko and her friends picked on me. But one of the girls had recently been acting neutral towards Mitsuko lately, and had been trying to convince her friend to leave her and form her own gang." Kaori said.
"So it looks like there's hardly any loyalty between the three girls, huh? That's rather surprising, come to think of it." Yoshio said, nodding.
"But at least I'm glad that I'm talking to you instead of going on another random adventure with Mizuho and Megumi, although Megumi's been lovestruck lately." Kaori said, giggling slightly.
"Lovestruck? Over who?" Yoshio asked with a hint of curiousity in his voice.
"I think it's Shuya's friend Yoshitoki." Kaori replied as she managed to chuckle yet again.
"Wow...I didn't expect him to hook up with someone pretty." Yoshio said, surprised.
"Yeah, but...I don't think I'm pretty. Hirono always teased me that I'm hardly attractive." Kaori said with a small frown.
"Well...Kaori, I think you are cute...and pretty also." Yoshio managed to say while blushing brightly.
"Huh? I'm...cute? And I'm...pretty?" Kaori asked, her eyes widening slightly before she blushed as well, trying to hide a giggle. "Thank you...I'm very flattered." she replied and smiled brightly.
"And about you? I know you're tall yet somewhat on the chubby side, but I think you look handsome, too, nowadays." she added.
This bewildered Yoshio and his blush grew redder by the second. "Um...um..." he said, almost to the point of being very nervous, but managed to smile and reply with, "Thank you...Kaori."
Kaori smiled and kissed him on the cheek, giggling as she saw the bright blush on his face.

After their conversation, they parted ways and Kaori was able to get back to her friends, smiling brightly and clasping her hands and holding them against her chest as she said, "Hey, Megumi. Hi, Mizuho. You would not believe what happened while I was gone."
Mizuho noticed and managed to set her fishing rod down; both she and Megumi were fishing as the girl with the 'mysterious' pendant around her neck claimed that there was supposed to be 'sacrifices' for the kitchen to cook for today's dinner or perhaps tomorrow's.
"So, what's up? What are you so happy about?" she asked her with a small smile.
"Well, I was talking to Yoshio, and we ended up getting along with each other. He even complimented me and I complimented him back. We were also talking about love and romance. Have you ever fell in love with another boy before? Like me and Megumi?" Kaori asked.
Mizuho raised her eyebrows and scratched her head lightly before she replied, "Well...obviously not. Most of the guys think I'm too eccentric to date them, even though I am attractive."
"I see...Say, if Mitsuko and her friends have any makeup around, maybe we can sneak some of them out and we can pretty ourselves up to make them jealous and impress the boys, even Yoshio. What do you say?" Kaori asked.
"That sounds like a great idea." Megumi replied.
"I agree. Then we can show them that we're beautiful too!" Mizuho said, smiling brightly.
"Really? You will? I'm very honored...Come on, let's go!" Kaori exclaimed, and the girls finished fishing before they went towards Girls' Cabin 1 to sneak in and get some makeup.
"If I can look prettier than ever, then Yoshio might like me even more. Oh, I'm so lucky!" Kaori told herself as she smiled to herself.

Kaori and Yoshio managed to become best friends and their relationship grew stronger each day, often having him hang out with her and her friends as well. They also managed to become more confident in themselves and avoid getting bullied frequently, and after graduation from school and beyond, they began pursuing their dreams: he became a comic book artist while she became a member of a successful all-girl pop group.
They are still together, and have plans to marry soon.

See you with the next chapter!
