From one point of view, it could be said that Takei Hisa was slacking off and not fulfilling the obligations set by her position. From another, it could be said that she was doing her duty, only in a strange way. From a third perspective, she was doing everything that was supposed to.

The people that were of the last opinion were the ones that were aware of the fact that chasing a person around the entire school for a certain magazine was technically part of the job.

This particular magazine was created from scratch by a group at school. Except for the paper. And the ink. And the bindings. So, really, the only thing that was done at the school was the text and the pictures. Which the staff argued were the most important parts. However, despite the producers' efforts with the magazine made almost entirely from scratch, their work just hadn't gained any recognition throughout the school. For one, they had never done any advertising at all, which meant that nobody knew they existed in the first place. Secondly, most of those those that did know the magazine existed discovered quite quickly how false the articles were, and didn't bother any more. It was just a waste of time. The only ones who actually read it were the ones who were new to the school or really wanted to know what wasn't happening at school.

Last year, there was an effort to get rid of the group, as it was seen as completely useless and a waste of resources, but some very careful wording in the contract signed by the writers allowed for a loophole to appear and save the magazine.

Despite only existing on a technicality, the magazine was still part of the school, and required a quick looking over to make sure that nothing written inside would be terribly damaging to the school. Terribly being the key word.

However, for some strange reason, the book failed to show up in the box by its deadline. Having left all the other works to her fellow members, Hisa decided she had nothing better to do than to go out and try and figure out what was going on.

It hadn't taken too much work to find the lead organizer, as he was hanging around just outside the school building, looking rather nervous. After a quick scan of the scene, the girl decided that the thing he was nervously hiding behind his back was her target, and moved in.

"So, why are you hanging around here?" Questioned the mahjong player, having carefully moved up next the boy. "Well, I suppose that doesn't matter. Magazine. Here. Now." She demanded, holding out an arm. To some small gland of surprise, but not much, he began running away,

And, having done the logical thing by chasing after him, Hisa found herself running throughout the school trying to procure one simple magazine. Despite the slight lead he had gotten by suddenly taking off, the writer just could not run very efficiently, and had been cornered in no time. With a look of triumph on her face procured the "not-so-precious" book and sent her latest victim off.

Now that she had procured the cargo, the next thing the girl did was skim through the magazine. After all, if there was something that they wanted to keep a secret so badly it was worth running away for, then it must be interesting. As she came across a certain spread, a smirk spread across the redhead's face, knowing she had found the problem. It was-

"Hm? President? What are you doing here?"

Speak of the devil.

An idea quickly finding itself into her head, Hisa smiled a bit and simply handed the magazine to Saki, who accepted it somewhat hesitantly, before trying to get away as naturally as possible. She wouldn't want to be nearby when Saki realized what she had seen.

Saki, on the other hand, was simply confused as to why the president had just handed her a magazine. Figuring she was meant to read it, the brunette took a glance down and...

Why was there a picture of her and Nodoka-chan kissing?

So, uh yeah. There's a lot of stuff I want to say here, but most of it is just pointless and would take up space, so I'll refrain and keep to the basics. First off, apologies for the shortness. I was planning to make the entire thing one, big, chapter, but that would just take too long, and it worried me. So I decided to split it up. Which... also worries me, since I haven't had the greatest luck with chaptered stories. Anyways, I'll try to get the next one up soon, but I make nothing definite.

Please Review.
