Bimbo! Monkey!

Chapter 1

Riiing! Nakatsu's ears perked up and he backed a few steps to the common phone. He yawned and reached for the receiver. Riiing! He frowned and yanked the receiver.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Is Mizuki home?" A disembodied voice echoed through the phone line. The female voice was somehow familiar, yet Nakatsu could not remember.

"Er, may I ask who's calling?" he asked.

"Just tell her it's Julia."

"Julia?! You-you're that blonde hair bimbo! Hey, what do you want with Mizuki? He's mine! Isn't it enough that you took him from me during the field trip?!"

"Oh, god. It's you. Just get Mizuki on the phone, will you?"

"What?! No way! Whatever you want to say to him, you can say to me."

"What? Are you crazy? God, just get Mizuki."

"No--" A hand reached out and pulled Nakatsu's collar. "Aaaah! Hey!"

Nanba let go of Nakatsu's jacket and took the receiver from his underclassman.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Oh, good. It's not him. Can you tell Mizuki there's a phone call for him? It's Julia."

"Julia[It's you, my beautiful flower. How are you doing?"

"Oh, no...just...GET MIZUKI ON THE PHONE!"

"[Okay. Whatever you say. I'll get him now." Nanba holds the phone away from his ear. "Nakatsu, get Mizuki." Nakatsu's eyes widened.

"But!"

"Go!" Nakatsu stomped his foot and obeyed. Nanba turned back to the girl on the phone.

"So...want to talk while we wait?"

"No, thanks. I think I'll just stay quiet until he gets here."

---------------------------------------

Nakatsu stomped down the hallway towards room 205. 'Why would that blondie call Mizuki? What could she want? I know she's his girlfriend, but he's MINE now! Hey, now that I think of it...did she just call Mizuki a SHE?' Nakatsu stopped in his tracks. 'No, no, I must have heard wrong.' He stepped up to the door and knocked three times.

"Hey, Mizuki! You in there?" There was the sound of scrambling and the door opened. "Oi, Sano. Did you just get out of the shower? Put on a shirt! Hey, is Mizuki there? He's got a phone call. That annoying American girl is looking for him. The nerve! He's mine--"

"Yeah, yeah, he's here." Sano ran a hand through his mussy hair and opened the door wider. Mizuki stood facing the wall straightening his shirt. Sano cleared his throat. "Mizuki, there's a phone call for you. It's Julia."

"Oh-okay." Mizuki turned around and ran out the door with his head down. He slammed the door shut.

"Hey, Mizuki. You okay?" Nakatsu frowned. Mizuki looked up at him and smiled quickly.

"Yeah, yeah! I-I have to get to the phone. Bye, Nakatsu!"

"Uh, yeah. Bye, Mizuki."

Nakatsu cocked his head in thought. 'I wonder why Mizuki's face was so red? Hah, I bet he stayed too long in the bath. Yeah, that's it. Hahaha...'

---------------------------------------

Mizuki ran quickly down the hall and saw Nanba on the phone. He walked up to the phone and tapped his shoulder. "Nanba?"

"Hey, Mizuki."

"Was there a phone call for me?"

"Yeah. It's Julia. Here."

"Oh, thanks." Mizuki took the phone. "Hello? Julia?"

"[Mickey! Finally. I had to talk to the stupid monkey and then that player. God..." Nanba walked away to give Mizuki some privacy.

"Haha! Yeah, sorry about that. I was...um, occupied."

"Occupied?"

"Yeah...Sano and I were a little...busy when you called. But it doesn't matter! What's up?"

"Oooh, 'occupied'...I'm glad you guys are working out. Hehehe!"

"Julia!"
