Hey guys. I put this on the Sekaiichi Hatsukoi section because there were more Sekai characters in here, but the Junjou characters do get their moments.

Like right now, for instance.

Misaki POV

Hi, I'm Takahashi Misaki, 18 years old.

...

I live here in this apartment building run by two siblings; Sumiko (Succhan) is 22 years old, and Aito is a little younger than me, but we're about the same age.

The rent isn't that much, and everyone here is pretty much like family. My actual family, my older brother, got married and work transferred him and his wife to Osaka. Our parents died some 10 years ago, leaving my Nii-chan to take care of me.

Now though, Nii-chan's away, and I support myself now with my part-time jobs and going to university. Well, I'm not actually by myself, but you know...

I live in a room on the second story, in between two guys named Yoshino Chiaki and Takatsuki Shinobu. Chiaki-san is a mangaka for shoujo manga (but he uses a penname) and Shinobu dropped out of his family and is working part-time jobs.

Chiaki-san is older than me, about 29, but he looks pretty young. Shinobu is a little younger than Aito, and he is at his last year of high school. Chiaki-san is nice, but doesn't really like huge crowds, and doesn't cook. Shinobu on the other hand, tries to cook, but he isn't really good. I've been trying to teach them, but it's very tiresome...

On the third floor are Onodera Ritsu, Yokozawa Takafumi, and Kamijou Hiroki. Ritsu-san is a librarian at the library closest to the hospital. He tends to be shy and is a bad drunk (not that bad, but he thought so)... because of that he is the official responsible person you call for if you're intoxicated since he refuses to drink now. He's 25 years old.

Yokozawa-san is a sales person for comics. He is a cat person, and he may seem mean on the outside, but he is actually very nice. He can also cook well and teaches Ritsu-san sometimes, who actually improves for some reason, unlike Shinobu and Chiaki-san. He just turned 27.

Kamijou-sensei is one of my university teachers at 29 years old- really strict and likes to throw things. He's really scary, but Ritsu-san says he's really nice, but he just can't express well. When he's drunk, he's pretty talkative. He has two adoptive daughters, Shizu and Arashi.

Shizu is actually named Shizukesa, but I tend to call her Shizu. They both didn't have names until Kamijou-sensei named them after 'the calm before the storm' because that was the order of when he found them one stormy day. Shizu is about 4 years old while Arashi is still a baby. We still don't know where they came from.

On the fourth (and last) floor are Kisa Shouta, Kohinata An, and a lounge/game room. Kisa-san is a shoujo editor who works at the same place as Yokozawa-san and Chiaki-san, Marukawa Shoten. He's a 30 year old with a baby face, and is short. He tends to go out with a lot of guys, and sometimes they come disturb us when Kisa-san rejects them.

Times like these, we're grateful Succhan and Aito can fight very well being the children of a dojo master.

Other than that, Kisa-san is a fun guy to hang out with. Kohinata An is about Ritsu-san's age, and was his former fiancée. She tends to go travel a lot, and brings stuff back when she comes home. She is like the big-little sister of this apartment building. The first time I met her though, I seriously thought she was Ritsu's sister. That's their relationship now anyway.

The lounge-and-game room is one of the most fun places to be; it has a karaoke machine, a huge television, and shelves of CD's and DVD's we watch and listen to most of the time. Also a snack bar and other necessities. It's where we have our 'Game Night', like a family gathering.

For some reason, Ritsu-san, Chiaki-san, and Succhan get competitive during the karaoke portion...

Oh, and on the first floor is Succhan and Aito of course, along with a smaller lounge and a drink machine.

On the topic of the drink machine, the first time we got it...

Still Misaki POV

"Why did you call us out here all of the sudden?" asks Yokazawa-san once all of us sat in the lounge on the first floor. It's about late afternoon on a Sunday, and all of us were mostly in our rooms. The only one missing was Shinobu, and he was out shopping. Please Kami-sama, don't let him bring home more cabbage.

"Look at what I bought!" Succhan goes to the entrance and pushes in a drink machine. "Dun dun dun! Isn't it beautiful?"

"..." We all just stare.

"...I'm going back to the room," Kamijou-sensei says sounding annoyed as he feeds Arashi her bottle, and Shizu follows him as he goes back into his room.

Soon enough, Kisa-san laughs and says 'sorry' as he leaves, followed by Kohinata-san and Chiaki-san.

Aito shakes his dark haired head at his sister. "I told you they won't care."

She pouts. "Geez..." She looks to Yokozawa-san and Ritsu-san. "What do you guys think?"

"Ah, well... How much did you pay for it exactly?" asks Ritsu-san.

"Eh... Not much. It has nothing inside, but I plan to-" Suddenly, a drink pops out of it.

"Are you sure it was emptied out?" asks Yokozawa-san.

"Yeah, I," she picks it up and looks at it curiously, "Wow, it's cold."

"Maybe it's haunted?" I ask, walking over to touch it. Sure enough, it was cold.

Ritsu-san and Yokozawa-san walk up to it now, and Ritsu-san touches one of the panels and it lits up. "E-eh...?!"

Yokozawa-san looks behind it. "It's not even plugged in... the hell?"

Succhan looks awed and hugs it. "Wah~ Internal battery, I'm so happy!"

Suddenly, it begins to shake, and we all step back except for Succhan who got pulled away by Aito.

"I really think it's haunted," I say.

"Take it back where you got it," says Yokozawa-san.

"I can't," says Succhan. "When I turned around the guy and his cart were gone."

The hell? "You got it from a guy with a cart?" She nods.

"The guy looked so funny too, with a beard and bad American accent."

We all just stare at her. Like, where does she do her shopping at?

"Hey guys," Shinobu comes through the entrance, "What's happening?"

I look at his bag full of only cabbages.

Dear Nii-chan and Nee-chan in Osaka, and my parents in Heaven, please wish me luck for my impossible student.

Shizukesa and Arashi are from my fanfic Doll Masters (SIH fanfic) while Sumiko and Aito are from We meet again (JR fanfic). They're my OC's.

I don't own any of Shungiku Nakamura's works.
