It's been in my mind for almost a week. I've decided to give it a try. ^^ oh and i don't own p3p..pls let me borrow them for awhile. thanks!

MORNING

Among the cubicles of an unfamiliar office, a young man boringly clicks the mouse in front of his computer. Tired eyes glued to the monitor as he scans through the images of what seems to be women wearing bikinis.

Seeing his boss pass by, he immediately clicked the close button and the screen reverted to spreadsheets and records. A smack was heard followed by a loud yelp coming from the man.

"Iori! I don't pay you to look at women all day!" The boss exits the cubicle, eyeing the other employees.

*Yaaaaawn* the tired man punched a few keys then hit enter. An employee peeks inside the cubicle laughing, "Man, you got whooped again. Three times in one day! That's a new record!"

The young man looked at him pretty much annoyed, "Just shut up! Jeez! Talk about a boring day or what? If I have a choice, I wanna be a lifeguard somewhere and rescue some babes in beaches!"

Iori leaned on his chair, closing his eyes as he starts to daydream. "Yeah..don't worry ladies! Junpei Iori is here to save you!"

The other guy watched him start to snicker like a pervert. Unknowingly, a figure appeared behind Junpei as yet another smack resounded the walls and again followed by a loud yelp.

AFTERNOON

"Hey Junpei, we're going to Hagakure's. You coming?" , the guy earlier called out.

"Yeah dude wait for me. Im starving!" Having said that, Junpei started sliding all the paperwork in his bag and immediately ran after the group.

At Hagakure's , everyone sat and enjoyed their meal. Everyone laughed at Iori for his "job well done".

"I tell you man, that guy has eyes everywhere. It's like he can see what I'm doing every second. It would be nice if a girl would do that to me once in a while, but man…it's pretty freaky when a fat guy watches you," Junpei shivers at the thought .

A guy commented, "Well ya stupid, he has cameras installed in every corner of the office. Of course he can see what you're doing."

Junpei's eyes widened at that, "N-no shit? Damn he's freakier than I thought."

"But seriously dude, what is up with you lately?"

Junpei looked at him,"What do you mean?"

"Well…"

The man's words were cut off as Iori stood suddenly, spilling hot ramen on the table and unto one of the man's hands. "Oww oww! Junpei! What the hell is wrong with you?" The man shouted and immediately put his hand on his mouth to ease the pain.

They all look up at Iori. He stood there, eyes widened and unmoving. They followed his stare outside the shop only to find 3 girls, looking like highschool students, passing by.

"Hey! What's wrong Junpei? You look like you've seen a ghost." The guy waved at him.

Junpei did not waste any minute and bolted out of the store. His friends calling out to him. "What is up with that? Is he really that much obsessed with girls?" All of them looked at each other and shrugged.

Upon reaching the 3 girls, he stared at a certain red head. The other two holds on to the girl as Iori continues to stare with much bewilderment. "You….. look just like her." Saying that, he examines her face more closely, earning a nervous look from the said girl. He sniffs a couple of times and said, "you even smell like her."

"Get away from her, you perv!" One of the girls yelled still holding on possessively to the girl.

His friends finally reached him and pulled him away. "Dude! Wtf are you doin? You'll get arrested for invasion of personal space, or better yet assaulting a minor."

"But I didn't….!"One of them covered his mouth before he could say anything else.

They all bowed to the three girls and apologized. " Please excuse our friend here. He doesn't know what he's doing. You see…."

"Whatever! Just don't let it happen again!" The girl turned to the red haired teen. "Let's go Hamu-chan..honestly, people nowadays are getting crazier and crazier." The latter nodded quietly and looked at Iori worriedly before leaving with the other two. Junpei watched at her retreating figure, still fazed with wonder.

EVENING

The loud music of the club dictates the sway of movements among the crowd of people dancing on the dance floor. It drowns out the conversation of a group of men wearing suits, as one of them exclaims,"I'm telling you man..i know her!"

Junpei tried to convince his other colleagues. He was beginning to be pissed off at his current state. They keep giving him a disbelieving look and it's getting on his nerves.

"Yeah yeah…I didn't know you were into this kind of stuff too.." The man who said that inhaled his remaining smoke and dropped it in the ash tray.

Junpei looked at him, "what stuff?"

"You know..highschool girls. I mean I know you like young girls..but highschool girls? Damn.." He sighed and picked up the glass of beer in front of him.

Another guy butts in, "if you really know her..then what's her name? Where does she live? Does she have a boyfriend?"

"Her name is..Hamuko Tomoe. She used to live at our dorm. And her boyfriend is….heeey! " He stopped, realizing what the guy wants. "No way you're getting her.."

"So she does have a boyfriend then..bummer.." The guy drank his liquor. All of the other guys including Junpei are now staring at him dreadfully.

"That's not what I meant…you can't have her because.…..she's our leader…." He paused for a moment. "….was our leader.." Looking down, Junpei suddenly became quiet. It's been awhile before he sighed,"..ten years ago, we fought Nyx together…and then she..."

"Dude, what are you talking about? Leader? Nyx? Jeez! Is that booze getting into your head?" said the man who got his hand burned,"What you need is a grown woman….take your pick!" Having said that, he pointed to the girls dancing on the dance floor, unaware of the heated gaze from the group.

Junpei stood up and was preparing to leave when he was stopped by another, "You're leaving? C'mon man..lighten up!" He paid no attention to them and made his way to the door.

Meanwhile, 3 highschool girls were walking home. The one in the middle was looking down, lost in her thoughts. The two girls looked at her worriedly.

"Hamu-chan..are you alright? That must have scared you huh?"

Crimson eyes looked up to them and smiled. She slowly shook her head and said, "No..im fine. It's just that..i feel like I've seen him before.."

"Oh? So you know him then? "

She pondered on that question for a moment. "….no…I don't know.."

One of the girls hugs her. " Don't think about it..you're probably shaken because of what happened. Let's get you home."

Under the light of the moon..the end draws near yet again.
