[Chapter 1]

The harsh scribbles of a dull pencil lightly echoed throughout the cozy café, as a petite black-haired female sighed eyeing her hard-working red-haired friend.

"What's wrong with you? It's our day off! You should have fun~!"

Kimiko looked up and narrowed her eyes at Airi.

"Shut up~! I'm not even working. I'm writing a letter~"

Airi smiled at her feisty friend and took a seat across from her. Airi gazed out the window while munching on a delicious cookie. Today was sort of a bore for her.

Suddenly, Airi jumped up nearly spilling her drink on Kimiko's letter.

"Look! Kimi-chan, it's Lenalee! She's shopping with Russel!"

Kimiko merely ignored Airi's statement; she was never fond of Lenalee, unlike Airi.

Airi frowned at Kimiko's behavior, but sat down again, only to jump up again when she saw a queer sight.

"Kimi-chan! The guys are stalking Lenalee~! Let's stalk them both!"

Unfortunately this time Airi's excitement could not be contained, and poor Kimiko got dragged along for the ride.

Airi tried to suppress her giggles as Allen fought with the strange, but oddly cute, octopus that was practically glued to his head. Kimiko rolled her eyes at his pathetic attempts, but joined in Airi's chime-like giggling.

"Komui, sure thought this out~" Kimiko said cheerfully.

"Yup! Poor Allen." Airi agreed, her voice laced with sadness and disappointment. She had always been the most sympathetic out of the two.

Kimiko's raspy laughter and boyish snorts brought Airi's attention back to the group. She gasped loudly as Lavi was hit with a dart and collapsed.

"Oh my god! What an idiot~!" Airi managed to say between her laughter. So much for being the sympathetic one.

Kimiko agreed and looked at Airi mischievously as the group walked away, leaving a vulnerable and unconscious Lavi on the ground.

Airi sighed when she noticed the devious look Kimiko was giving her.

"I guess we just can't leave him there."

Kimiko smirked and laughed darkly.

"Wouldn't dream of it~"

With a struggle, Airi and Kimiko Lavi behind a bush and concealed him from everyone's view. They giggled quietly as Reever returned for Lavi. After a couple of minutes of vain searching, a confused Reever finally headed back to Komui.

"We should take him back! They're going to get suspicious!"

Kimiko rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to retort, when –

BOOM!

Airi and Kimiko jumped up with surprised shrieks.

"W-What w-was that?"

"I don't know…Let's go find out, Kimi-chan~!"

Airi swiftly imprisoned Kimiko's arm with hers, and dragged her towards the scene of crime, with Lavi in tow.

"Just leave him, Airi-chan! We'll go faster and then come back and get him!"

Airi rolled her eyes at her impatient friend, but let go of Lavi's hand, letting him fall like a rag doll.

Pretty soon, they arrived at the scene and were astonished to find Komurin 4…with Lenalee standing on top him while abusing her brother.

"Russel was helping me pick out a present for you!"

"Why didn't you say that then~"

Lenalee growled in anger and hit him on the head.

Upon seeing that, Airi and Kimiko to giggle quietly, but it quickly turned into a loud and obnoxious laughing session.

Unfortunately for them, Allen heard feminine laughter and investigated it. He automatically stopped struggling with the octopus as he saw a laughing Airi grabbing her stomach, nearly to the floor, and a crazily laughing Kimiko, which was now rolling on the floor.

Allen's silence quickly attracted the attention of the others, and they were all quickly observing the peculiar scene.

"Airi? Kimiko?"

Their laughter stopped immediately as they heard Komui's voice. Airi and Kimiko looked at each other and smiled nervously when they saw everyone looking at them.

"Uh…got to go! Bye~!"

They were gone in a flash, leaving Komui and the others to wonder what they had been up to.
