A/N: Second chapter woo! Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Sorry for any plot holes/ grammatical mistakes.

Chapter 1 – Is This Spiritual?

I was just heading home from a completely boring day at school, when I saw a girl in the distance waving. Well, more like a combination of waving, flailing and doing jumping jacks. I knew she was trying to get my attention because she was yelling "KIRI-CHAN!". I hadn't the faintest idea of who she was until she run up to me.

Ayumi-nee-chan.

Back in town.

She threw her arms around me and pulled me in for a suffocating hug, but since she was taller than me and wearing three inch heels, I was forced into her chest. Then suddenly she pulled me away and placed her arms on my shoulders. I hadn't even said a word.

"Kiri-chan! It's so great to see you! How long has it been since I've been in Tokyo?"

About four months. After her big discovery and being in that magazine, more job offers came up, especially the one that wanted her to go to Osaka. She left two weeks after her first magazine debut and promised she would be back.

"It's been a while. I thought you wouldn't be back for a lot longer. Not to say I didn't miss you…" It wasn't much fun when she didn't come over anymore to feed Shampoo and hang out on our porch.

"Aw, is little Kiri-chan getting soft? I missed you too, you know that. But I'm back in Tokyo for only three weeks." She frowned at the statement, obviously wanting to stay longer.

"It's alright; I know how busy you are. So—" I was cut off by someone shouting my name behind me. I turned around to see Tarotard followed by Kanako running over to us. There were also three other figures running, but I couldn't quite make them out— oh god.

Narumi, Kei and Ochiai stopped behind Tarotard and Kanako, all of them greeting Ayumi-nee. I forgot about the group because we didn't have the last period together, thus I was the first one out of school. That and I walk faster than them.

"Ayumi-chan, you're back!" Tarotard was excited

"You look so pretty." and so was Kanako.

"Hey, aren't you that girl from the restaurant?" Narumi asked, and caused to look at him.

Kei smacked him on the arm and took out his lollipop to speak, "No, Naru-Naru, she's a famous model now! Everyone knows her!"

I looked around and noticed everyone looking at us. Have they been doing that since she came over to talk to me? Wow, I really am oblivious sometimes.

Ayumi-nee just laughed it off, saying she wasn't that popular. And she also said she was glad that Narumi still remembered her. He just nodded, all Naru-Naru like. I wonder if he'll get that frown off his face.

The S.P. were just heading in the other direction while Kanako, Tarotard and I were heading to my house. Suddenly Ayumi walked over to Narumi and asked him if he wanted to go somewhere tomorrow. I couldn't really hear where she asked him to go, but it didn't make a difference. I felt something in my gut twist when he nodded in agreement to her plans and her whole face lit up.

She waved goodbye to us, saying she would call me later, and walked in between Ochiai and Narumi.

I wondered why I had that sinking feeling. I knew Ayumi used to like Narumi, would it be such a surprise if she still liked him? Didn't she swear she would come back and make Narumi notice her?

Well, she accomplished that, I thought to myself somewhat cynically. I stopped staring at them when Kanako asked if I was ready to leave. I nodded and all three of us headed home. But the entire way there I was floating in my own thoughts.

Was it possible that I could…like…Narumi?

What absurdness! The thought was wiped away when I snapped my attention onto Tarotard's complaining about school.

A/N: Pretty short chapter. Hopefully the next ones will be longer. Thanks for reading, reviews are always appreciated!
