Hah?! Another story of Shintaro x Yuko! Requested by AutumnPisces. I hope you'll enjoy this story too. Luv you readers!

Yuko woke up to da sound of her alarm clock. "Ahhhh!!!! I'm late for school!!!" She cried, running into Kano's room and started shaking him.

"Wake up!!! We're late for school!" Yuko cried, pushing Kano off the bed. Kano hit the floor and sat up in an instant.

"I'm awake! I'm awake!" His vision cleared and he started smiling like an idiot. "Heheh... Nee-san... Today is Saturday. There's no school." Kano said, smiling cheekily.

"Huh? Oh! Mai bad~" Yuko chuckled and started sweat dropping. Kano gave Yuko a quick 'I want to change so get out' look and shoved her out.

Yuko rolled her eyes and walked back to her room, slouching in process.

A head popped in front of her. "Good morning, Yuko-san!" She chirped.

Yuko jumped back in surprise. "E-eh?! Cheryl! Don't scare me like that! And how'd you get up there?"

Cheryl merely shrugged and landed on the ground with her feet. "Whatever. What are you doing in my house?" Yuko asked with raised eyebrows.

"Uhh... Jade-san wanted me to invite you and Kano to breakfast. Also, Momo is not cooking. Shintaro kinda forbade Momo to ever touch the cooking utensils ever again, y'know being the big brother and all, so me and Jade are cooking. " Cheryl explained.

"Okay, sure!" Yuko smiled. Cheryl said a quick 'goodbye' and ran off to invite Bold, Hibiya, Kido, Seto, Mary and the rest of the Dan. (Hahahahahah... Author-chan is a teeny-tinny bit lazy to type the rest of their names.)

Yuko got ready and knocked on Kano's bedroom door. "Kano? You ready? We need to go to Jade and Cheryl's house." Yuko said. All she got back was a muffled 'Yeah. I'm ready. Just gimme a sec.'

Yuko smiled as she started thinking of Shintaro wearing his red jacket and forbidding Momo to ever touch the cooking utensils ever again. She pitied Momo a bit but it was worth it for Momo's cooking is simply uneatable.

Kano soon came out. Yuko got her keys and they both walked out of the house towards Jade and Cheryl's.

Breakfast was nice but Yuko couldn't shake the feeling that someone was staring at her. She turned and all she saw was Shintaro arguing with Ene about some random topic. Shintaro soon went to get some coke out of the fridge but was stopped by Cheryl.

"Heh... Why don't you go hang out with Kano or Yuko, NEET?" Cheryl growled. Shintaro looked over his shoulder and saw Kano with Jade cuddling together. Yuko it is. He walked up to Yuko and muted Ene, much to Ene's dismay. They both chatted until it was time to leave.

That night, Yuko watched some Spongebob and got ready for bed. That was when she started thinking about Shintaro. "Eh?! Why am I thinking about Shintaro?" She tried to sleep but ended up with her butt on the floor.

Shintaro, on the other hand, muted Ene because she was annoying. (Poor Ene) He thought about today and found out he was thinking about Yuko. "Huuuuuhhh???? Am I thinking about Yuko?"

They both walked towards the windowsill and asked the exact same thing at the exact same time. "Do I like him/her?"

A star in the sky shone brighter than the rest, like it had the answer. Both of them looked at the star and smiled. Shintaro walked back in and plopped himself on his bed slowly drifting off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Yuko smiled at the star and whispered softly, "You're so pretty." And she walked in a little after she said that.

The next day, Yuko decided to take a walk. The weather was lovely that day. Birds are chirping merrily, bees busy with work, fishes coming to 'smile' at her and there was a......................................... PROMOTION FOR ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yuko walked into Baskin Robins and bought a chocolate ice cream. She walked out and sat on a bench in the park while eating her ice cream and thinking about last night.

"Oh, Hello Yuko." A voice said behind her suddenly. Yuko quickly turned and hurled her ice cream at the person's head. When she saw who it was she kinda freaked out.

"OH MY GOSH!! I'M SO SORRY!!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE AN ENEMY OF MINE!!!!!! I'M SO SORRY SHINTARO!!!"

Shintaro stood there with ice cream dripping from his head. He started laughing at Yuko's idiotic apology and went to the bathroom to wash the ice cream off. (Imagining Shintaro with chocolate ice cream dripping from his hair right now. XD)

Yuko waited for him and she mentally kicked herself. "Shintaro is going to hate me for this..." Soon, Shintaro came out and Yuko apologized with a 90 degree bow. Shintaro forgave her and decided to walk with her.

Without warning, Shintaro took Yuko's hand into his which made her blush. He looked at Yuko who avoided eye contact with him. "Are you blushing?"

"N-n-n-n-no!! Totally not blushing!" Yuko stuttered.

Shintaro tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear which made her blush 50 shades of red. (50 shades of grey. XD) Somehow, on the outside Shintaro looked calm. But on the inside, Shintaro was freaking out. "OH MY GAWD!!!!! WHAT THE HECK AM I EVEN DOING??? I HANG OUT WITH KANO TOO MUCH..."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

They continued walking for a few minutes until Yuko cried out, "Oh no! I have to go now. Kano is probably expecting me home by now... It's my turn to make dinner anyways..."

She let go of Shintaro's hand. But, Shinataro slowly leaned in and kissed Yuko. Yuko just stood there, petrified. Soon, she started to kiss back ever so slowly. When they pulled apart, Shintaro whispered those words that Yuko had hoped to hear, "I love you."

When Yuko turned around to return her feelings, Shintaro was nowhere to be seen.

"Shintaro? Where are you?"

Three years later...

It has been three years since that ice cream incident. Three years since the confession. Three years since the kiss. Now, Yuko was sitting in between Cheryl and Bold, waiting for her turn to receive her certificate. Shintaro hasn't talked to her ever since the kiss. Shintaro was sitting far back so there was no way Yuko could reach him.

"Akiyama Yuko."

Yuko walked onstage to receive her certificate. She shook hands with the headmaster. "You have done well, Ms. Akiyama. I am sure you will use that knowledge you have learned here and do some good in the society. I see a bright future in you. Congratulations!"

She took some pictures with the headmaster and walked down the stage. Her friends were waiting for her at the bottom. "Congratulations, Yuko!" Bold patted her back.

"Congrats, Yuko!"

"Good job, Yuko!"

"Not bad, Akiyama."

Yuko was bombarded with compliments. "Heheh... Thanks, guys! Your the best!" Yuko cried, engulfing them in a group hug which was taken as a photo by their teacher who promised to give each of them a copy.

After the ceremony ended, everyone was eating in the canteen... except for Yuko. She was running through the corridors, searching for Shintaro.  He wasn't in the canteen for Yuko searching every nook and cranny of the canteen and of course the middle part while having to push through a crowd of laughing and talking students and teachers.

Yuko finally found him sitting alone on a bench by the school field while wearing his headset with loud music blasting through his ear. "At this rate, he might go deaf." Yuko thought walking up behind him.

"BOO!" Yuko cried, hugging Shintaro from behind.

"GAHH!!!" Shintaro screamed a very manly scream. "Y-Yuko?! Aren't you supposed to be in the canteen with the rest?"

"I could ask you the same thing but I need to talk to you right now." Yuko said with a smile.

She sat next to Shintaro and an awkward silence filled the air. "So... Um... How have you been?" Yuko asked, trying to start up a conversation.

"Not bad."

"How are your studies?"

"They're... Okay."

So, their conversation started up awkwardly with Yuko asking and Shintaro answering.

"Heh... Shintaro. It has been three years since that incident already..." Yuko said softly while looking at the setting sun in the horizon. "Three years since the confession. Three years since... that kiss..."

Shintaro looked at her then looked straight up, not wanting to make eye contact with her.

"After you confessed you disappeared. Why is that?" 

Yuko, not waiting for an answer, continued. "And you never talked to me after that. Every time I try to strike up a conversation with you, you just leave abruptly." Yuko chuckled at the memories of Shintaro walking away from her when she tries to talk to him.

"And I never even got to answer your confession..."

"This is it... She's gonna reject my confession from three years ago and I'll go back to staying in my room like what happened to Ayano."Shintaro panicked in his head.

"Well, I love you too."

"Woah! Totally wasn't expecting that answer..." Shintaro thought as he slowly stopped panicking.

When he finally turned to look at Yuko, he was cut of by Yuko pressing her lips firmly against his. When they pulled apart, they heard footsteps and Yuko's friends emerged.

"Yuko! There you are!"

"We've been searching the whole school for you!"

"Your science teacher wants to see you. You are her pet after all~"

Yuko rolled her eyes and Cheryl suddenly asked," Are you and Shintaro dating?"

Yuko looked down and realized that her hands were holding Shintaro's. She quickly let go, blushing and said a quick 'Goodbye' to Shintaro and went to find her science teacher.

Soon, they boarded the bus home and Shintaro grabbed Yuko's hand again. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

On the bus, Yuko sat next to Shintaro. Cheryl turned from the front seat and squealed, "Awww!!!! You guys look so cute together!"

Jade turned as well and started pestering them about when their gonna go on a date and stuff like that. Bold sat in the seat opposite to Yuko and smirked. "Yes, Cheryl. They do look cute together."

"In fact, I think they were made for each other! You two would make a super cute couple!"

Yuko blushed after hearing those statements while Shintaro laughed. In the end, Yuko was blushing the whole trip home.
