Chapter One

It's kinda funny how things in life turn out. For example, one day you could win the lottery, and then the next you get robbed. You may blow every bit of money on you at the casino, and then find a hundred dollar bill on the ground. You basically get a whole harem of women to choose from, and you pick the most unlikely one to fall in love with. Or maybe that last one only applies to me.

You see, over time, I realized that I did love Lala and Haruna; I loved them more than anything else. However, they weren't the only ones I loved. I also loved Lala's sisters, Momo and Nana. I loved my sister, Mikan (not like that, you perverts!). I loved Run (and a somewhat brotherly love towards Ren). I loved Oshizu (despite the fact that she's dead). I loved all of my friends and family; Saruyama, Mom, Dad, Peke, Zastin, Akiho (Haruna's older sister, for those of you who don't know), Yami (even though she claims to hate me), Celine, Kyouko, Risa, Mio, Tachibana, Saki, Rin, Aya, and Yuu. We act like a dysfunctional family, and that's exactly what we are; we just somehow make it work.

There is one person who I've failed to mention. And that's the cause of all of my current problems. See, as I said, I thought I loved Haruna and Lala. But, as time grew on, I grew to care for everyone else in a similar manner (some people call that a 'harem'). It wasn't long after I began to truly care for everyone the same way that I noticed something…different. Lala and Haruna no longer stood out in front of everyone else. Before, if either of them entered a room that I was occupying, all of my attention would instantly go to them, and them alone, regardless of who else was in the room at the time. I would get the most flustered around those two than anyone else, simply due to my strong attraction to them.

Yet, as time went on, they faded just enough to the point where I could also see everyone else; no longer was I ignoring my perverted best friend, Saruyama, in favor of those two beauties. No longer did I neglect Mikan because I was paying more attention to my love interests. I even became calmer around women, being able to converse with them normally (although I still tended to have accidents every now and then). But, as my attraction towards Lala and Haruna declined, I noticed my feelings shifting towards another.

And with that, I was gulping as I knocked on the door of the Kotegawa household, hoping against hope that Yuu would be the one to answer…

And Lady Luck seemed to love me today, for it was indeed him who answered the door.

"Ah, Rito! What a surprise. I didn't expect you to drop by; You should've called, I would've been more prepared!" He said brightly, before frowning as he noticed the look on my face. "Something wrong, bud?"

"…Um, actually, yes. You know how you said that if I ever needed to talk to someone, I could come to you?" He nods. "Well, that's what I'm here for. This isn't something you talk about to Saruyama about, since he always gives the same advice, and well…"

He held up a hand. "Say no more. I understand. Come in, come in."

I hesitate before asking, "Yui wouldn't happen to be in…would she? Because this isn't something I want anyone else overhearing…yet, anyway…"

"Nah, she went out earlier. Something about keeping an eye on Lala so she doesn't act 'indecent'…" He replied.

"Ok…good." I sigh in relief, before following Yuu inside.

After he came back with some tea, passing a cup to me, he shifted to a more comfortable position and gave me a look. "Well? Shall we cut to the chase then?"

I gulped, and proceeded to tell him everything. After I had finished, he had a huge grin on his face.

"Well well…That's rather surprising, actually. …So I'm assuming that you didn't come here just to talk to me, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah…Any idea on when Yui be back?"

He looked at the nearby clock. "Probably an hour or so…You want me to make myself scarce for this? Or would you rather have me somewhere in the shadows, just in case?"

I mulled it over for a bit, before finally giving my answer. "I'd like to be alone for this. If all else fails…well, I can trust you to picking up the pieces on this end, can't I?"

He smirked, and said, "You bet, although I highly doubt that's gonna be necessary. She's got the hots for you so bad, it's not even funny anymore. She just refuses to show it. Don't worry bud; Just tell her what you've told me, and you'll be fine. And try not to have any accidents, alright? Even though I'm sure she secretly enjoys it-" Somewhere in town, a certain young rule-obsessed female sneezed, "-I don't think that will help your cause any. …On that note, what of everyone else? What's going to happen if she accepts? If she refuses? What then?"

"…I never thought that far ahead…well, I'm sure one way or another, things will work itself out. They always seem to, anyway." I said, shrugging.

He laughed, clapped me on the shoulders, then stood up, grinning broadly. "That they do, bud. Look, I was planning on visiting Akiho, anyways. So use this remaining time to prepare yourself for the ride your about to be sent on, whether it be good or bad; I get the feeling that you're gonna need it. So, good luck, and remember, don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Laughing, he slipped on his shoes and walked outside, heading for his girlfriend's house.

I gulped nervously as I looked at the clock. 'Half an hour left…Well, for better or for worse, it all ends tonight. Finally, I will tell her how I feel…And hope that I survive in the chance she rejects me and then tries to kill me,' I thought, before I began to think of what exactly I was going to say…
