Mitsuki was on edge. All the shinigami found her unusually tense aura immediately noticeable.
Takuto's eyes bulged staring at Mitsuki. "Wh… What the hell is her problem!" His thought seemed to echo across the room.
Mitsuki turned to him so slowly and harshly that it was almost painful. Seeing Takuto's appalled expression, she immediately surrendered her nauseous storm of anger into a depressed fit of anxiety.
She stood, quivering a little. Cautious to keep her back out of view to her friends, and she exited the site cautiously.
Meroko smoothed her skirt casually, deep in thought.
Takuto's small kitty jaw dropped. He was too shocked to think of a smart remark to follow her out the door, like the usual, "What's her deal?" or, "Lighten up, would ya?"
The calm expression on Izumi's face unleashed him from shock into rage. "Did you see that!" Screeched Takuto.
"See what?" remarked the dog, looking at his ghostly companion polishing his shoes.
"You prissy rich boy…." Sneered Takuto, clenching a threatening fist.
"Rich?" Snickered Izumi, clearly amused by the cat's inaccurate statement.
Before Takuto could release his rage in a swath of mass destruction, Meroko's voice rang, "Puberty,"
Takuto's and Izumi's glare immediately became a blank expression, to an earth trembling blush.
"Wh…..What!" Takuto faced her; still red with humiliation she said that so comfortably. Jonathan lifted his focus from Izumi's shoes. "It's obvious," He sneered.
Takuto almost shook with frustration, "You damn ghost! When did you're opinion matter!" He yelled shrilly.
"He didn't notice because he's going through the same thing," Izumi laughed haughtily. Takuto fell over with dismay. "YOU SON OF A…." he began, advancing towards Izumi.
Meroko doused him with a tub of water sitting beside her. He simmered with anger but stopped, from lack of energy.
"Basically, it's a storm of hormones…" She concluded.
"Hear that, Takuto boy?" Jonathan started. "Now's the time to take advantage and DO IT,"
Izumi crushed the ghost with his foot, and rubbed his temples. His movements looked choppy and broken.
Suddenly, a shriek echoed through the hall, hat could be heard probably all through the hotel. "MITSUKI!"
