Hey all! Jinchuuriki here. I'm new to this sort of thing… I'm more of an artist than a writer, but I think this is fun too! This story is kind of of like a bonding thing for the group.

Disclaimer: I do not own Juvenile Orion. I totally wish I did though!

This is my first story. Hope you like it!! Please review!!

The Rising Sun

Mana Kirihara looked up at the clock. 5 minutes until school got out. She restlessly looked around the classroom. Most of her fellow students were either snoring, or acting the same way she was.

Finally, the bell rang and class was over. She ran over to Amou and Itsuki, and said breathlessly, "Hello Amou-kun! Hello Itsuki-kun! Are you excited for today?"

Itsuki grinned. "Hey Kirihara! Of course we are! I mean, what could possibly be better than sleeping over at Kaname's house?! Oh man I can't wait!"

"You seem unusually excited, Itsuki. Why can't you be this excited for school?"

"Nakaura-sensei! Hello!" Mana smiled cheerfully.

"Hey. Is something going on today? I can tell it's something that doesn't have to do with academics…" Nakaura stared at the bouncing Itsuki.

Amou suddenly cried out, "Oh no! I'm so sorry Tomonori-san!! I forgot to tell you about… uh, um…"

Nakaura looked concerned. "Tsukasa, what is it?"

"Kusakube-kun is having a sleepover at his house, and Itsuki-kun, Shiba Sempai, and Kirihara-san are going. C-can I go too?" Amou seemed like a sad puppy who had known had done something wrong.

"Of course, but… Kirihara is just staying for a few hours… right?"

Mana smiled again and replied for Amou, "No… I am also staying."

At this time, Kaname and Shiba walked up, sweaty from after school basketball practice.

"Hey guys… you ready?" Kaname nonchalantly wiped sweat off his forehead. Nakaura stared at Kaname (A/E whoa… Nakaura-sensei likes to stare, huh? 0o)

Kaname looked as if he already knew the question/lecture was going to be. "Hey, you trust me, right? I'll protect Mana." Nakaura sighed and said, "Alright… but don't do anything stupid!"

Shiba then added, "I won't let Kirihara-san get into any trouble." He coughed, "Itsuki"

"Isshin Sempai, it was a memory! Nothing could have possibly hurt here in there!"

Kaname looked at the setting sun. "Come on guys… by the time we reach my house, it'll be dark. Everyone dropped their stuff off at my house right?"

"Yeah!" everyone cried excitedly. "Wait! Since I didn't tell Tomonori-san, I don't have my stuff, so…" Amou looked worriedly at Nakaura.

Nakaura ruffled his hair. "It's okay Tsukasa. I'll come by later and drop off your belongings."

Amou hugged Nakaura. "You're the best Tomonori-san!" "Awww… I… I think I'm going to cry… I'm so touched." Mana sniffled. Nakaura looked up, startled, and blushed.

And so, they walked off in the direction of Kaname's house, with Itsuki crying, "Kaname! Is your sister catering this party?"

Haha lol… not exactly the best ending, but at least I got it done. More chappies to come. This story might not be long, so I apologize in advance. Please review!
