School's been my first priority lately so yea sorry.

Review please!

Shizune Takatsuki and one of her classmates were talking in class 1, the room which our main character gets beaten up-I mean taught in.

"Hey Takatsuki."

"Yes?" She looked up from her work before going back to it.

"Do you like Orimura at all?"

"What? Where did that come from?" Takatsuki looked up from her work briefly before again going back to it.

"Well you do seem to hang out with him a lot, and you two seem to have good chemistry."

"I guess, but I am a friend of Alcott's, so to see Orimura is not unusual." She replied while continuing her work.

"Oh-ho, I see, but are you sure you don't like him, I mean he did say that you are one of the most reliable people in this class, he must be interested in you in some form." Her friend gave a not so subtle nudge with her elbow.

"I really doubt it; he usually just says things like that without it meaning something too deeply." She replied like it was an everyday occurrence…which it sadly was.

"Your right, he is a bit of a dense person isn't he." Her classmate sighed.

"Maybe, I never really noticed…or really cared." Takatsuki shrugged.

Of course this conversation was not missed by his harem, or rather 'close friends'.

"Ichika would never like her right?" Rin asked uncertainly.

"What does he mean by her being the most reliable person in class?" Houki said while bringing out her training sword.

"My wife! You cannot cheat on me!" Laura exclaimed.

At that moment Ichika walked in, spotted Takatsuki, and walked over to her.

"Oh Orimura what do you need?" Takatsuki asked, looking up from her work for the third time.

"Takatsuki let's go on a date!"

(…)

(…)

"WHAT!"

(In a different room)

"Wait hold on a second, you mean date as in help you pick out some clothes?" Houki questioned in disbelief.

"Um yea did I say something wrong?" Ichika asked, clueless as per usual.

"Ichika do you even know how you misinterpret words sometimes." Charlotte said while shaking her head.

"Well sorry for being stupid."

"I think dense is more the word." Charlotte said.

"Hmm? Did you say something?" Ichika, who had not been listening, asked.

"Oh nothing…nothing at all." She sighed.

"Ok then well if that's all, I'm going to go out with Takatsuki."

The room's temperature seemed to go down.

"Um take her out?"

The room got even colder.

"I'm asking for a reliable friend's advice."He sighed.

And the room got a little warmer again.

"Well i-if you n-need advice on clothes then I could…" Houki was getting red in the face.

"No it is my duty to my wife to help pick his clothes out." Laura exclaimed.

"Well I should be the one to, I mean after all I am from a prestigious family so I would know the latest fashion trends…" Nobody was listening to wht Cecilia was saying

"No that's fine, I thank you for the offers but I want to go with her this time…so…yea later!" Ichika said nervously before dashing out of the room.

(Later that night)

"AH that was a good date!"

"A good date huh."

"Wah! Tatenashi what are you doing! Better yet what are you wearing!"

"Oh this? I just came out of the shower, that's all," She replied like it was an everyday thing, which, as she was Ichika's roommate, it was. "Problem?"

"It's definitely a problem, put some clothes on!" All thoughts of the outing with Takatsuki were quickly forgotten.

"Well if you say so." She started to undo her towel, and just as it hit the floor, Ichika hit the floor too, unconscious. If he had not fainted he would have seen that she was wearing a bikini underneath.

"Hehehe, sleep well my dear Ichika." She grinned.

(In another part of the academy)

Do I like Orimura? Takatsuki asked herself as she lay in bed.

She fell asleep before she was able to answer the question.
