Okay, sorry for taking so long, but I needed time to figure out how this chapter should play out. And I was playing Pokémon. X3

Disclaimer: I don't own SiH, but I do own my characters. I also don't own any franchise or characters from franchises that may be mentioned.

Now, lets get moving.


Chapter 2

Darla woke up to the sound of the door slamming as if someone had left the apartment. Katerina was still asleep and snoring away.

"What time is it?" Darla asked herself.

"It's time for video games." Katerina whispered in her sleep.

Darla decided to shake the girl awake so they could leave and continue their search.

"W-wha-" Katerina yawned as she started waking up.

"Katie, we have to go." The curly haired girl said. "I think the person that lives here left."

"Just five more minutes." Katerina said while trying to fall back asleep.

"No, we have to leave now." Darla said as she tried to pull the shorter girl towards the door.

Suddenly, Darla heard foot steps coming from the bedroom. The curly haired girl then scurried behind the counter again and dragged Katerina with her.

Chiaki had come out of the bedroom and looked like hell. He had barely gotten the manuscript in on time...again, and Hatori had to rush out today because the clocks were all a bit off. So, the young mangaka decided to just rest on the couch and try to regain his strength.

"Okay, I think he fell asleep. I'm going to make a run for it." Katerina said as she started to quickly crawl towards the door.

"No wait, Katie!" Darla whisper-yelled as she tried to reach out towards the other teen, but failed.

Katerina was actually making progress towards the door, but unfortunately her left eye was covered and she accidentally bumped into the wall and let out a loud yelp.

"Owww, my head!" Katerina yelped.

"What? Who?" Yoshino asked himself as he sat up, still a bit dazed.

"Uhhh..." Katerina stood up slowly and put her face in her hands.

Darla slowly stood up from behind the counter and walked over to her best friend and pet her head.

"Okay, I definitely worked too hard this time." Chiaki told himself. "I'm either hallucinating or I'm still asleep."

Then, Katerina totally lost it. "Okay, send us to jail!" Katerina said as she fell to her knees. "Just don't send me back to my mother!"

"I'm sorry, she's just...confused and doesn't know how to handle situations like this." Darla explained.

"So, are you real or hallucinations?" The mangaka asked. "Because if you're real, I don't really know what to do in this situation. I mean, I can't offer you anything to eat 'cause I can't cook."

"Oh you don't need to do that." Darla said. "Right, Katie?"

Katerina's stomach growled before she could say anything.

"Uhh, well if you two need something to eat, I have some bags of chips." Chiaki offered.

After the two girls and Yoshino got bags of chips, they all sat down on the couch.

"So, who are you two anyway?" The mangaka asked.

"I'm Darla Dalia and this is my best friend Katerina." Darla said as she introduced herself and her friend. "We come from America and I'll just leave it at that."

"Wouldn't be the first time a teen has come from The U.S." Chiaki said. "Anyway, I'm Yoshino Chiaki."

"You're name is like Yoshi from Mario." Katerina giggled. "I'll call you Yoshi-san."

"You'll be shocked to know that that isn't the weirdest thing I've been called." Yoshino said. "There is this girl that walks around calling almost everyone uncle."

"Well, that's odd." Darla said. "Anyway, thank you for not calling the cops on us, Yoshino-san."

"Well, it's not like you guys are doing any harm by being here." Chiaki said. "Besides, I don't have any work today and Tori is working and probably won't be back 'till really late."

"Oh, so that was who left." Darla concluded.

"Are you and him close?" Katerina asked.

"Yeah..." Yoshino said, with a bit of a blush. "We were best friends when we were younger and I guess you could say we're closer now. For most of my life it was just Yoshino Chiaki and Hatori Yoshiyuki."

"Just like me and D.D." Katerina stated.

"Do you think Hatori-san will freak out if he suddenly walks in and there's two teenage girls in his apartment?" Darla asked.

"Well he's walked in on me passed out from exhaustion, so I'll say that you two wouldn't be the freakiest thing he's ever seen when he walks in." Chiaki said with a laugh.

"Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Darla said.


Okay, so how will Hatori react to this? I mean, how would you react? If you guys could comment and tell me how I'm doing so far, that would be great. And I'll try to upload faster.

Again, SiH is not mine and I own my characters.

See y'all next time.
