Thinking about You

Hi I'm Emichii! This is my thirteenth fanfic and my first Angelic Layer fanfic! It's Misaki/Ohjiro and Tamayo/Kotaro. Oh and it might have some minor Chobits references! (DUH! CHOBITS is the sequel! Icchan got married to Ms. Hibiya!)

Kya-hahaha! Yeah! Hurray! Read! Read! Read!

Well, here you go! The first chapter! YAAYYY! Read and review!

Chapter 1: Rematch!

Misaki Suzuhara hurried through the streets as the crowd grew. She stomped her boots in the snow as she ran.

"Wah!" she said. "There are too many people! I need to get back to Shoko!"

Just as she was about to get trampled, a hand reached in and rescued her from the crowd.

"Ohjiro!" she cried.

"Hi Misaki," he smiled.

Misaki felt her face grow warm. He had a beautiful smile…

"Um, hi… Thanks for rescuing me from that crowd. I though I was gonna get trampled!"

"You're welcome." Ohjiro inspected Misaki. She was sweating from all that running and in her hands was her schoolbag and Hikaru.

"Oh, you have Hikaru with you," he said. "Can I challenge you to a battle?"

Misaki said, "Oh but I can't. I have to go home. Shoko told me to get home early. Usually I go to Tamayo's place but not today. I really have to go,"

The older boy shrugged and smiled again. "Well, then I guess it will have to be a short battle. PLEASE, Misaki-chan?"

Misaki glanced at her watch. "well… maybe a quick one…"

"Great!" Ohjiro gave her a warm smile and Misaki felt her knees go weak. Oh c'mon! Not now! I have a battle!

"Angel wings! Please guide me and Hikaru!"

Misaki released her Angel Hikaru into the Layer. Ohjiro sent Wizard into the Layer.

Ohjiro looked so serious when he was battling, and Misaki could tell he was certainly not about to lose this round. It scared her whenever he looked so serious. He could be such a strong merciless Deus.

Misaki always felt so shy around Ohjiro, and he was understanding. He was always so nice and polite, and his smile made her blush but he was so different when he was battling.

Misaki stopped herself from being led away by her thoughts. She concentrated on the game.

Hikaru, attack Wizard's left!

Hikaru dove forward at Wizard's left side at a huge speed. Against her other opponents, this move did a lot of damage but obviously Ohjiro and Wizard had been doing a lot a training since.

Wizard jumped out of the way and aimed a series of fast-paced punches at Hikaru. Hikaru fell back, jumped back up and breathed hard.

Ever since Ohjiro had stopped relying on just Magic Guard, battling against Wizard got so much more exciting.

Misaki wasn't concentrating and since Ohjiro knew her so well, he could tell. So Wizard took this chance and attacked again.

Misaki grimaced. Naa! Why can't I concentrate! This made her so infuriated she stopped thinking altogether and beat Ohjiro mercilessly.

"That was a great game, Misaki," said Ohjiro.

"Thanks," Misaki smiled. She looked down at her feet. "Um… You've gotten a lot stronger, you and Wizard…"

Ohjiro smiled. "Yeah. But we're still not good enough to beat you," he said. He placed his hand on Misaki's shoulder and she shivered under his soft touch. He bent down to look at her.

That's right; he's still so much older than me!

"You're really great at this, Misaki," he said softly, "but Wizard and I are gonna train even harder and we're gonna beat you next time!"

Ohjiro said the next line loudly with one hand clenched into a tight fist. His smile had disappeared and his eyes looked angry and determined.

Misaki shrank back again. She always fell for that. She loved his smile, his looks, and his sweet personality but then he became a strong and angry Deus. It always surprised her and it made her vulnerable.

Ohjiro offered to walk her home. Misaki just couldn't turn him down.

They walked along quietly next to each other, their boots scuffling in the snow. Every now and then, Misaki could feel the back of his hand brush against hers and she blushed.

When they got there, Ohjiro smiled and said, "Thanks for that match Misaki. It was great."

"Um… you're welcome. Thanks for walking me home…" she said in a whisper.

Ohjiro stretched his arms out above him and said, while looking into the distance, "I'd really like to battle again," he said offhandly.

"We could have another battle soon," said Misaki quickly.

Ohjiro agreed, "Yeah." he looked down at Misaki and said, "Okay then, Misaki. We'll have another match in a month. Exactly on this day, at this time. Okay?"

"Okay," she said.

"Good,"

Ohjiro turned to leave. Then he turned, smiled and waved to Misaki, "I'll see you later, Misaki-chan,"

Misaki was all spacey the next morning at school.

Tamayo ran into her while she was putting away her shoes.

"Oi, Misakichi! What's up?" she tackled Misaki in a huge hug.

"Oh, nothing much," Misaki choked.

Tamayo let her go and raised an eyebrow. "I don't get it. You're acting so weird."

Misaki didn't hear her and just went away. Kotaro came up. "Hi, Tamayo… where's Misaki?"

Tamayo didn't answer. Instead she pulled off a new move she had learnt on Kotaro.

"OW!" Kotaro pulled Tamayo off him and said, "Tamayo, I don't want to be your human wrestling mat anymore."

She looked dismayed. "What?"

Kotaro said, "I don't wanna be tackled all the time," He looked really angry. "I hate it when you do that, why can't you just act like a girl?"

Tamayo looked sad. She didn't look at Kotaro but looked away. "First you tell me, you've never thought of me as a girl before, and now you're refusing to be tackled? ...but we've been like this since kindergarten!"

Kotaro looked defiant, "Yeah, Tamayo, this thing is really getting up my nerves!"

"…" she turned away from him and started to move away, "Kotaro, I thought we were best friends…" she broke into a run now, "BUT YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER IDIOT LIKE THE OTHERS!"

Tamayo ran off leaving Kotaro in the dust.

Hi! Emichii here! YAAYYY! Chapter 1 is complete! Hm, speaking of fighting, I was in Karate today and we were doing sparring. And there was blood on everyone's gi. Wait, don't get the wrong idea! It was just specks of blood! And everyone was wondering what was up and it turned out that my fingers had been bleeding so every time I punched someone I left blood on their gi. Oops!

Anyway, read and review! Flame if you like, it amuses me.
