Chapter Two: Enter Imai Hotaru

An extremely pissed off Sakura Mikan stormed through the hallway.

"How dare he? THAT WAS MY FIRST KISS!," were the thoughts of the very angry brunette as she glared at everyone in the room.

But, you know Mikan. She can't be angry for even over an hour, and sure enough, in an hour she had forgotten about the incident, and was looking for her best friend Imai Hotaru. (A/N: Ta da! Hotaru finally enters the scene!)

Imai Hotaru was Sakura Mikan's best friend. Personally, she didn't know why she was, but that wasn't the matter of the question. It was how she was. For all of you who know, Imai Hotaru isn't the world's most err... giving person. While Mikan was the hyper, energetic type, Hotaru was the emotionless kind that gave off the mess-with-me-and-you'll-regret-it vibe.

So imagine the surprise she received when a loud knock banged onto her door.

"Hold your horses,"she mumbled under her breath, taking off the goggles and lab coat she had been wearing for an experiment she was ready to try out, before she was interrupted.

The door flew open, and out revealed Hijiri Youichi.

A/N: I'm REALLY sorry the story was so short, but this chapter needs to be short in order for the next chapter to work. Thanks again for all your support! D
