Special A 2011 chapter: #1
I don't know what to call these. "Oneshot"? "2011 oneshots"?
I am making this available for the public to read because...it's Special A.
I feel like I must repeat it, uwa. This was released back in June. This is not the 2nd oneshot that was released today.
The chapter begins with an introduction to the school, the S.A class, Hikari's position, and her reason for attending a elite school such as Hakusenkan. I assume everybody already knows these facts, right? Just one thing to mention: Hikari and Kei are 17-years old.
Hikari kicks a locked door open, apparently to help a group of girls get something open. They thank her graciously. On another end, a group of boys thank Kei for giving them pointers on their basketball practice. Kei politely brushes it off.
Hikari demands to know how many coins Kei has collected and boasts about having 35 so far. Kei smiles and states that he has 50 so far. "Well, at this rate, I'll win again, Miss Number 2."
What do they mean by "coins". There is an event going on in the academy in which the S.A students grant the requests of new students. Once they complete a request, they receive a coin from the new students. Hikari used this event to challenge Kei. Kei had no problem with it. He said that if he won, then she would have to greet everyone at the next assembly like, "I am Kei Takishima's girlfriend, Hikari Hanazono^^"
Lately Kei has been coming up with all sorts of embarrassing conditions. It's driving Hikari to the edge of humiliation. Kei teases her as she walks away. He puts emphasis on the fact that they're lovers, so it's alright. (Again, this is Japan we're talking about.) An idea then pops in Hikari's head. Perhaps Kei is doing all these embarrassing things because he wants to push her to win even more. She becomes excited and jumps right into the challenge. Kei is left a bit confused^^.
While out looking for those who need help, a 1st-year girl comes to her and asks her for a favor, which is...
...
...to be a fill-in as a bride at her sister's wedding.
The girl's sister is getting married, but there is a stalker after her that they fear will put the bride in danger at the wedding. Hikari resembles the bride, so she's going to fill in for the bride and catch this stalker. Everyone thinks this is a bit too dangerous, but Hikari isn't worried since there will also be a bodyguard there. Above all that, this assignment is worth 10 coins. This girl is in love with challenges. She could marry the concept, just ignore this.
Akira is all for it! This is her chance to pick out a wedding dress for her dear Hikari, right? Seeing her in a dress excites her to no end. Tadashi insults Akira, like he usually does, which lands him with a punch into the air.
Ryuu notes that Kei will probably say no, which is right on the button. Kei immediately agrees with Ryuu's assumption. He tells Hikari that he'll give her 20 of his coins if she rejects that request, but Hikari says this goes beyond their challenge and jumps into helping someone in trouble. The girl told her this is something only she can do, but Kei could care less. Hikari has a reputation of not being able to see danger even if it's right in front of her eyes. Hikari says it not true. He has no need to worry because she's still strong. "...Ha ha! What are you saying? MISS NUMBER 2." Hikari is pissed.
======
Akira takes Hikari to her bridal collection and urges her to take a look through them all. Hikari and the 1st-year girl are amazed at the variety. Anything to see Hikari in a wedding dress, of course^^.
Hikari spots Finn and Sakura on the side looking through dresses. They're having a rather...sismance moment. Finn lifts a dress and comments that Sakura would look great in it. Sakura denies it, but lifts another dress and says Finn would look great in the one she's holding. Finn brightens up and decides that will be the dress she will wear when she and Ryuu get married. Sakura backs up and says, "Wait, it's too early to be thinking about that...!"
Hikari thinks about a time when everyone saw her in a dress like these. (Was that in the original series? I don't remember) Hikari recalls Kei telling her it would be impossible for her, which pumps her up on catching this stalker!
Right on cue, Yahiro steps in, loving her enthusiasm, clapping and smiling like the schemer he is (Yahiro~). He pats Hikari on the shoulder, saying he wanted to participate as soon as he heard what was going on. He already went ahead and prepared a more glamorous and secure wedding. He plans on making a DVD of the event as well. Everyone except Megumi looks...I dunno.
"So, is Kei going to be the groom?"
"...No...The groom has already been provided."
"" *heh* Oh myyyy. Poor, Poor Kei-kun~ ^.^ "
======
Hikari checks in on Kei, who is bullying his keyboard through his irritation. Yep, he's not liking this at all. At first she thought that it would all be worth it if it is to aid someone, but...
Hikari recalls Yahiro putting things in perspective from Kei's POV. His girl is pretending to get married to another man. To top it off, he is madly in love with his girl [Hikari]. Something like that is definitely going to screw with his head (^.^).
Tadashi steps up to Kei and tells him to knock off his pouting (mostly because he's scaring him). If Yahiro is cooperating, then there will be nothing to worry about. Kei argues that his concern is necessary! Tadashi realizes he's really angry about this. Kei turns to him, scary demon-possessed face as usual and says, "YOU THINK?" Tadashi (and Hikari) are terrified.
======
Ryuu finds Hikari working out with her punching bag labeled "Stalker". He asks her what could be the cause of her seemingly built up frustration. She pauses for a bit and then asks him if he would be angry if Finn went through with a fake wedding with another guy, even if it were to help someone. Ryuu admits that it makes him incredibly angry just thinking about something like that.
======
Wedding day.
Jun, Tadashi, and especially Akira oogle over Hikari in her bride dress-up. The 1st-year student thanks her again for what she's doing. Hikari doesn't comment. She remembers what Ryuu told her about the situation. The image of seeing the girl he loves standing in a wedding dress next to another guy is upsetting. This is probably what Kei is feeling now. Hikari finally realized what this was doing to Kei and feels remorseful now.
However, she's walking down the aisle now. She's in the middle of it and can't stop now. Perhaps this will end once the stalker is caught. Once it is over, she will apologize to Kei. While she's still in her train of thought, the priest grabs her arm, startling her. A creepy smile crawls upon his face as he states, "Finally, I have you. I've always wanted to meet you." The priest is the stalker!
Meanwhile in the security room, Yahiro admires the stalker's ability to easily get through security as the priest.
Suddenly, the groom (OMG Senri Kudou) swings his foot and trips the stalker, putting his foot on top of him to prevent him from moving. The groom grits his teeth and says, "If you lay your hands on another person's bride...you won't get away with it." By now, the "groom" has taken off a dark-haired wig to reveal Kei. The stalker stands up and lunges for Kei, saying that the bride is his bride. Before he can do anything more, Hikari smacks the heck out of him.
"Anyone who tries to interfere with the wedding of two lovers becomes Hikari Hanazono's enemy!"
======
In the end, the stalker was safely caught and the real wedding finished without problems. Yahiro wonders how many DVDs of the event he should try to sell to Kei. Tadashi comments that Yahiro must really like Kei^^. Yahiro tells him to shut up.
Hikari and Kei are sitting on the stairs. She apologizes, to which he asks why. It really surprised her that Kei was the groom. Kei says he was worried about her. That and some other guy being her bride isn't funny. At all. (Hikari gets the chills.) Again, Hikari apologizes and says it's because she wasn't considering what he felt during the ordeal. Kei understands that Hikari wasn't doing anything bad, so there is, again, no reason for her to apologize. However, there is something he's always wanted to hear here say as an apology. He grabs her by the hand and brings her to her feet. He asks her how she feels about him, making her turn red. She stutters at first, but manages to tell him she loves him (both still in wedding gear, awww). Kei smiles gently, still grasping her hand.
[I love Takishima. And someday...]
Hikari sees the results of the coin event. Akira is 3rd with 20 coins, Hikari is 2nd with 42 coins, and Kei is number 1 with 85 coins. Kei reminds Hikari of the conditions of her defeat to tell the assembly that she is Kei Takishima's girlfriend.
[I will defeat you, the one I love!]

I was overjoyed back in June to find out that another oneshot would come out in September. I was overthrown with joy today when I found out the September oneshot is a Ryuu/Finn oneshot. YES, IT IS!!!!!!! There is a 4-page preview to it on ZA Hana to Yume's site.
