"Well, it seems there are some cute girls here! Sadly, my heart has been taken." The spiky-haired one said. "Maybe Tadase can score a girlfriend?"
The blond one, who I guess was Tadase, blushed and hid behind the gang.
"It seems is going to be short." The glasses-guy said.
"I see.. 2 midgets and one mini-midget." Tsukiyomi Ikuto smirked. "Oh, and it seems they have a babysitter."
It took me awhile to figure out what he was saying. Yaya, Rima and I all didn't look our age, for Yaya was very childish, Rima was like a small french doll, and I just looked like an eleven or twelve year old.
"Wh-"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Rima interrupted me. Her eyes were filled with fire while her hair seemed to sway like Medusa's. "Did you call me a mini-midget?"
"Well, I didn't call you a mini-midget. I just said 'one mini-midget'." He reminded. Veins popped in Rima's head and we tried to hold her down, but she grabbed her sundae and threw it at him. Time seemed to slow for all but him as he grabbed Tadase and used him as a shield. SPLAT when the sundae, hitting the poor guy right in the face. He froze for a second, then walked out the door.
Mental note: Don't get Rima mad.
"Err, yeah. Anyways, we're doing a survey on girls and the songs. Did you enjoy the songs? Mostly, somewhat, not much, not at all. Did you think there should be more song genres? Yes, I don't mind/care, no. Did you.." Kukai went on saying the questions, then handed the board to us. I was going to point out that there was no point in reading them out first then giving us the paper, but I decided not to because it wouldn't make a difference. Soon we were all having fun, singing songs and chatting. Except Tsukiyomi Ikuto.

This is getting boring. Everyone else is having fun, but karaoke isn't my thing. I tried to get Tadase drunk by putting alchohol in his tea, and it would have worked, only Tadase thought it tasted weird and tossed it away. I wonder if I should leave, Yoru won't sleep in my bag forever.
I started staring at the pink-haired girl for awhile. Amu Hinamori, was it? She looks like a 12 year old. Hmm. She's blushing.
"Wh-what are you looking at?" She stuttered. Now she was the colour of a ripe strawberry.
"Just you turning into a strawberry." She seemed at a loss for words at a second.
"!!.. You perv!" She turned back angrily towards the girl who was singing.
I ignored the other girls. The girl with pigtails was like a spoiled little brat, though a lot more childish then Utau. The blondie was more like an arrogant rich girl. And then the girl with blue hair.. She reminded me of a princess from hundreds of years ago.
"Hey, Ikuto, you seem bored. Let's make a bet!" Kukai offered.
"Hmm?" I asked, mostly uninterested.
"If I win, you let Utau and me go on as many dates as we want. If you win, I'll get Utau to stop taking pictures of you in bed." It was very tempting, but I knew Kukai's bets were usually not worth it.
"Go on." I answered.
"Okay, lemme think." He shut his eyes and put both fingers on his temples. "Ahah!
"I know," Kukai practically shouted. Then he dropped his voice into a low whisper. "Go out with Hinamori Amu for the rest of the term!"
[Amu +++]
I wonder what the guys are thinking about. Kukai's rowdy, Tadase is polite and smiling, and Kairi is reserved. And Ikuto.. From what I know, he's a haughty rich kid who doesn't like his step dad. At school I've heard him lead a gang of 4 (the guys) around and rule the school. No one dares to oppose him because they're scared of him. And he's a pervert.
I turned to listen to the music, but I soon felt Ikuto's piercing stare. I started to blush.
"Wh-what are you looking at?" I stuttered.
"Just you turning into a strawberry." He smirked. I felt uncomfortable and shy underneath his glare, although I also felt another, I guess bubbly, feeling.
"!!.. You perv!" I shot back. I angrily turned my gaze towards the platform, not wanting him to see me hide my unexpected smile. Soon it was Rima's turn at the mic, and I heard Kukai announce loudly, "I know!" Then he stuck his head back in the guy's half-huddle. Guys are so weird.
[Ikuto xxx]
"What? Not a chance in hell." I protested. I mean, Hinamori was cute and all, but I never go out with anyone. Besides, she's probably a squealing fangirl.
"Oh, come on, Ikuto! Just listen. If she dumps you, I win. But if you manage to ask her out and get her to say that she loves you, you win. You can't dump her either. Don't ignore me! Think about it!" Kukai negotiated.
"Not worth it." I shot him a withering stare.
"C-come on, Ikuto.. I'll tell her it was all just a bet at the end of the term!"
"99 days.." Kairi added silently.
"What?" I said, eyebrow raised.
"There are 99 days left." I shot Kairi my best _ glare.
"Get Utau to surrender that picture of me with only a towel on, and you've got yourself a deal."
"Of course!" Kukai complied, and we shook hands.

"Bye guys, see you later!" I said as my new friends got on the bus. Time to walk home. Or drift home..
"Hey." I heard a voice whisper in my ear.
"Kya! Wha? Oh, it's you. I n-need to get home now, so bye, Tsukiyomi-sempai." I mumbled, backing up slowly. Ikuto matched my steps, advancing with me. Soon I was pressed against a tree.
"So, how was the karaoke?" He asked his face only 15 centimetres away. I couldn't think. My senses were clouded. I was breathing in Ikuto's scent, caught in his eyes, hearing his voice.
"Um?" I squeaked. He chuckled.
"How.. was.. the.. karaoke?" He repeated slowly.
"F-f-f-fine, Tsukiyomi-sempai. I-it was fun." I mumbled.
"Tsukiyomi-sempai? How stiff. Call me Ikuto.. Amu." I blushed hotly as he said my name.
"I..Ikuto.." Through the corner of my eye, I saw him smirk. A new surge of anger rippled through me. I shoved him back and said, "What do you w-want?!" Darn, I stuttered.
I saw Ikuto's shocked face at my courage. I don't know how I did it. He was a whole foot taller than me. Soon he recovered, and muttered, "Interesting." Then he looked back at me. "Sigh.. You know, Amu," Blush. "I thought you were really cute. So, I wanna ask you out."
"O-out? Outside? W-well, we're outside, so ask away!" I said, confused. Ikuto gave me a blank stare, then burst out laughing.
"What? What's so funny?!" I demanded.
"You, pfft, you thought.. Ah ha ha ha ha! So pitiful, Amu.. It means, do you want to go out.. On a date?" The world spun around me as I tried to process the information. I could almost see the little Amus inside my head. A team of pink-haired scientists would crowd around the words, and one of them shouted, "Eureka! He likes you!"
[Ikuto xxx]
Certainly, this girl is interesting. She actually shoved me! The nerve. No one shoves Tsukiyomi Ikuto. I would've beaten Amu up if she were a guy. But I wouldn't hurt a girl. Yes, this girl is more than I thought.
"Sigh.. You know, Amu," She blushed again. "I thought you were really cute. So, I wanna ask you out."
"O-out? Outside? W-well, we're outside, so ask away!" She said with a confused expression on her face. ..Outside? What is she talking about?.. Oh..
I burst out laughing at the patheticness of her words. "You, pfft, you thought.. Ah ha ha ha ha! So pitiful, Amu.. It means, do you want to go out.. On a date?" I waited for her reply. Moments passed.
"..Amu? Hello?" She seemed to be frozen. Is she really just a fangirl, shocked by her luck? Finally, she answered.
"WHAT?! NO! I don't even know you! And I'm 3 years younger then you! I'm not going to d-date anyone I just met!" Amu shouted angrily. She turned and stomped away angrily. ..What just happened? I didn't expect her to.. I stood there, partly leaning down towards where Amu was. Time passed.
"Mama, what's that person doing there?" I heard a young girl ask behind me. "Ami! Don't point!" Her mom hushed her away. This snapped me back to reality, and I plotted a new plan to win Hinamori Amu's heart.
Okami: Yaayyyy, it doesn't drag on! How is it guys?? Aren't the little Amu-chans cute?! x3! And I'm sorry Tadase doesn't say anything. I couldn't fit him in anywhere. Hehe.. ^ - ^..
So, lately I've been working on my art. I'm trying to draw Soi FonxYoruichi chibis. I just wuv that pair! I drew Soi Fon pretty well, I guess, but Yoruichi doesn't look tough. See, the pictures supposed to be Soi Fon standing behind Yoruichi with a childish, blushing face, and she's watching Yoruichi in a pose. I put Yoruichi in a punch pose, but I can't get the fists to look where it's supposed to be (one in front, one in back..). Any help would be welcome. But you know what else would be great? If you r/r! Yay! Maybe I'll even scan the picture for you guys to look at later. It's in pencil, though. I wish I had one of those tablet/touch pad things. Sigh.. Money's tight at the moment.
Ah, I don't wanna get into my troubles. Don't we all have our own troubles these days? Wars, the economy, then the little things that pick and nibble at you till you're just this weird, gross little fleshy thing that winds up being picked up by a tissue and tossed in the rubbish. Nevertheless, I wish you all well, and have a nice day. Arooooo ~!
