Wow, this is way overdue. Apologies for the late updates, there were problems involving my computer and internet.

Just as usual,
When I turn around that corner,
I merge into the sea of people,
And melt away into nothing...
CHAPTER 1
The Setup Part 1
He was asleep and didn't hear the knocking on his door.
Tatsu-kun...
His reputation had increased, but not to his liking. People were afraid of him now. Not afraid of Tatsumaki Karagae, the infamous narcoleptic, but of the girl he was holding hands with everyday at school. The girl who no one wanted to mess with.
Of course, Tatsu never noticed really seemed to care.
Kyou was a completely different girl towards the boy she loved when they were alone. Sweet, cute, sexy in a way. Lunch was never the same. Now, lying in bed, Tatsumaki dreamed of their alone time.
Tatsu-kun... don't move, or you'll ruin all the fun!
Kyou...
You like...?
Yes...
Kyou jiggled the door handle on the other side. Locked. She put her ear to the door, and heard him snoring.
"You little..."
She kicked the door down in anger, only to find him sleeping in a heap on his bed.
Not only did I knock on his door, I kicked it down... he really can sleep through anything...
She walked up to her sleeping boyfriend with her chin in her hand. "What the hell do you expect me to do with a worthless idiot like you..." She bent down and observed him. Even when he's sleeping like this, drooling like a fool... he's still pretty cute. She leaned in close to his face. "Wake up."
Tatsu smiled and hugged his pillow tight. "Kyou, you're so soft," he whispered.
"THAT'S IT!" She jabbed him in the ribs. He woke up screaming.
...
Kyou sighed as she sat down on her boyfriend's bed. "You need to get an alarm clock."
Tatsu, sitting with his legs crossed on the floor of his dorm room (still in his pajamas), pointed a thumb at the clock on the dresser. "I already have one. I sleep through it."
"Of course you do," she said with a hint of disgust. "I know you're a narcoleptic, but the least you could do is try to wake up at a decent time. I mean, I kicked down your door and you were still sleeping."
"Door? What are you..." He turned around and almost screamed at what he saw. A yawn came out instead. "You kicked down my door!? Sigara is going to kill me for this!" A pillow smacked him in the face as he turned to back at Kyou.
"Relax, I'll fix it." She got up, walked past him and bent down to pick up the door. "I'm surprised you're even at this school considering you're always getting up late."
"I usually get up on my own, usually ten minutes before my alarm clock goes off. Gives me one hell of a scare." He said this while looking away; he knew Kyou hated perverts. Looking up her skirt (or even at her rump) would be suicide.
"Anyway," she continued, "I need your help with something." She snapped the door back into place. "You're not going to like it."
He yawned. Again. "What's up?"
She turned around, stretching. "I... sort of lost a bet."
"A... bet?"
"Yeah... I had a bet with a girl in my class, her name is Majo Tsuchi. Do you know her?"
"With a name like that, I'm not surprised that I don't. What's she look like?"
"Short, black hair," she said, closely examining the door. "Big spectacles. Not very popular from what I've heard."
Tatsu listened with his chin on his palm. Dark hair and glasses? Those were my preferences in girls... before I met Kyou, of course... he looked rather odd, lost in thought wearing nothing but a white t-shirt, boxers and socks. "So what does that have to do with me?"
Kyou sat with her legs crossed in front of him. She lowered her head. "I need you to... go out with her."
Nothing was said for about ten whole seconds. Birds chirped. Sigara's cat meowed from another room. Finally, Tatsumaki Karagae said: "Is this a test?
Kyou gave him a half-smile. "No, it's not. But I appreciate that you care." She leaned in and kissed his mouth. Tatsu blushed slightly. "Still blushing, eh?" She smirked, thumb to her chin. "Don't worry. You'll get used to it."
"I love it when you make that face," he said, his face growing red. "So, you lost a bet?"
"Yeah. Thing is, she sort of has a crush on you."
His eyes narrowed. "I don't even know her. How long has she liked me?"
She shrugged. "Apparently it's been a 'love from afar' sort of thing. Anyway, she hates me right now since you and I are dating."
"What was the bet exactly?" He scratched his back.
"We had a pop quiz yesterday so she told me that if she got a higher mark than me, 'Tatsu-kun would be her's.' If not, then she'd leave me alone for the rest of the year."
"Hold on, you didn't ace it? Here I thought you were going to be a teacher when you grew up."
She gave him another smirk. "I said I'd be a Kindergarten teacher. Not a High School one."
"Don't you still need to get good grades?"
"You gonna help me out, or not?"
He sighed. "Do I have a choice?"
She leaned in again, this time on her hands and knees. Instead of kissing him, she whispered in his ear:
"Nope."
