A/N: Hey there, I'm back with another chapter of... Upside Down. Let's try to grant the requests of the reviewers. I'll try to make it less comedic, but some scenes won't be that serious. I'll just try. The other one, I'll try to use more words. Again, thanks for the reviews and feel free to point out anything. I'll appreciate it. Now, On With The Fic!

Disclaimer: I don't own To Love-Ru, if I did, Gid will be much taller.


The morning sun rays had greeted the Yuuki household. This made the poor boy stir up from his slumber. He stretched his body parts while still lying on the bed and smiled. His smile was replaced quickly by a frown. The question Mikan had questioned him quickly returned back in mind. Which made him shrudder.

He stood up and looked at the clock which is resting on the top of his desk, it was reading…

7:23 am, he is late!

He quickly moved out of the room and prepared for school. His preparations might be a little rushed but there wouldn't be any problems there. The only problem that he had right now is how will he deal with his huge harem.

He'll also meet Yui on the way, how will he interact with this girl right after their little experience? He could only sigh in disbelief because his life turned upside down since yesterday. How worse could it be in the future?


Upside Down

Chapter 3

And So, I Met You Again


Rito walked outside his cold home. He still can't remove the thing that Mikan told him last night. Who wouldn't be surprised if your sister had confronted you in the middle of the night about your lovelife? One more thing, how would the girl make thingss better for him? He didn't even tried to eat breakfast because of the problem that he had encountered this past day.

Rito just brushed the thought away because he wants to have a better day today. The fact that he had shared a kiss with Yui yesterday wasn't making his mind stable. He can't imagine how would Yui react when they saw each other again after that experience that they had. Rito could only rub his head in a fast manner because of irritation. His world really turned upside down since yesterday.

But, there are still more problems that will arise, the dream Rito had last night is also one of the things that had bothered him since the time he woke up in the dawn. What could that dream mean to his life now? Rito imagined everyone vanishing one by one, there, he realized what does that dream meant.

Good thing that his little sister, Mikan, had realized that her brother is daydreaming in the middle of their front gate. She quickly shouted his name to attract his attention.

"Rito! don't just stand there! Go to school already!" Mikan shouted, which made the orange haired boy quiver out of his thoughts. He quickly turned around to look at his little sister who had been acting strangely lately. He gave her a genuine and thanking smile and he waved his hands towards her direction afterwards. He ran through the streets just right after his meaningful thank you.

Mikan walked back inside the house after the orange haired boy ran outside the streets, she gave a rueful sigh and spoke to herself:

"If you only knew..."

Rito's pace on his walk towards school is fast because he is quite afraid of being late. He don't want to spent some time on detention or being deducted points by Yui. The thought of Yui made the orange haired boy shiver because of the sudden heat coursing through his body. He really can't conclude what does this feeling meant to him. It really had made him uncomfortable since yesterday.

His pace slowed down when he came through the intersection where he usually meets his beloved Haruna-chan. Well, Rito still can't say that she is his 'beloved' one, there are still so many girls who is after him. Dealing with one girl is already hard, but if you will deal with a whole bunch of girls, it's another story. It's quite hard to manage a harem just like Rito's.

Just right after Rito's halt, the girl that she had been thinking a while ago had appeared right before his eyes. Rito's crush since middle school, Haruna Sairenji was now standing right before him with the two of her friends, Risa and Mio. The three of them gave Rito a cheerful smile.

"Good Morning Yuuki-kun." Haruna said, the two of her friends soon followed.

"Good Morning." Rito replied to them, with a hint of. depression which didn't really floated all throughout the conversation. Little did Rito knew that Haruna had noticed him. She didn't put the topic up because she was shy.

The smile on the faces of the three girls immediately disappeared when they noticed the sudden absence of a certain someone. All of them asked at the same time,

"Where is Lala-chan?" The trio said in unison. This made Rito's face divert from a normal looking, to a depressed looking face. He shook his head ruefully and replied to the question of the three.

"I-I...don't know what had happened...but it seems that Lala and I haven't got along normally lately...it could explain the question of yours, maybe she went earlier than I did." Rito faded of, depression was obviously hinted all over the sentence.

"Maybe, you had done something that can make her mad?" Risa asked, in a questionable manner. The memory of Lala seeing him and Yui kissing yesterday rushed back to his mind. His cheeks quickly became rosy because of the insertion of kissing in his mind. This quickly flicked the teasing switch of Risa's.

"Oh, Rito-kun, why are you blushing? Are you making up with another girl?" Risa mocked out of nowhere. Rito could only rant mentally because of the coincidental mind reading of Risa's. You may call the thing that he did to Laala yesterday 'Making up with another girl' but he just can't imagine him being a playboy. He needs to think of an answer quickly.

"U-U-Um..." Rito stuttered because of confusion, the two other girls remained oblivious of th whole situation, Mio is busy making something beneath her and Haruna is busy thinking about Lala.

"How peculiar..'' Risa said as she put a finger onto her chin, not waiting fo an answer from Rito. This made Rito sigh mentally because he had passed through this mindreader.

"Does it have something to do with Yui-chan?" Yui's name quickly popped out of Risa's mind. She doesn't know how did her name came in but her mouth did what does it needed. Rito's reddened cheeks intensified because of the sudden luck of this mind reader. This made Risa praise herself because of her awesomeness. This shenanigan quickly attracted Haruna's attention. She gave herself a confused look because of Rito blushing when Yui was mentioned, 'there is something wrong here.' Haruna thought.

Mio tapped Risa's shoulders which made the odd atmosphere between Risa and Rito break. Risa turned around to spot Mio looking at her wattch, signalling her that they are late. This is going to be the first time Rito will thank the fact that they are running. Without further ado, the three of them took off from the current intersection they stood in more than 15 minutes.

They quickly moved out of that certain intersection and started walking towards school. The students who are walking with them are now gone because it is only some matter of time before school starts. Their walk soon turned into a run because of time pressure. Good thing that they had arrived in school without any problems. They had arrived just in the nick of time just right before the bell ring.


It has been just another abnormal school day for Rito, when he saw Yui, she'll always walk away with a pink tint in her face. Rito could only stand there in awe because she didn't expect the Yui here to act weirdly. The students of the class also had noticed the unusual activities of their class president. Rito could also feel that everyone inside the room are pertaining him as the culprit. He really didn't know, he just felt like it. Who wouldn't feel guilty if you are the one who did it to that person?

Also, Lala isn't talking to him. He really felt odd about it because she wasn't the person that won't talk to him. She is always talking to him and she even shows affection to our orange haired boy every time that she sees him. But now, she is just quiet in one corner. With a plain look on her face. Her cheerfulness was already gone. Rito can interpret it from watching from behind them.

It's already lunch time and Rito is talking with Saruyama.

"How is your life Rito? It seems that you had been luckier than before?" Saruyama asked, with a goofy smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" Rito asked, not caring about the conversation that he is having with the monkey look alike.

"Great doing with Yui." He whispered through Rito's ear, which made him shiver in mixed anger and embarrassment. How could Saruyama knew about the thing that he had done with Yui? Did someone said it to him? Just right after he jumped away from Saruyama's proximity, he screamed.

"What do you mean?" Rito asked for the second time, making Saruyama grin in excitement.

"Don't play jokes with me Rito, I already know what you did!" He said, making some weird poses from time to time.

"What do you mean!" Rito asked, for the third time now, this made Saruyama raise an eyebrow from confusion.

"You really don't know? Lala-chan told me!" He said, his nose had emitted lots of smoke now, because of the thought of him that the one that had happened to Rito is 'hot'

"I'm really jealous Rito, how would you and Yui-chan... prrf prrf prrf." Saruyama can't finish his sentence because Rito had already covered his mouth. His mind is blasting with thoughts right now. Lala is talking about the thing that I did with Yui on school? To how many people did she said that to? I'm really dead... That are the thoughts are going through Rito's mind.

"prrf prrf prrf" Saruyama said as he kept on struggling on Rito's grasp.

"Stay there or else!" Rito said, him being serious isn't normal so Saruyama just sat there calmly, not wanting to have a fight with Rito.

"Don't tell anyone, or else!" Rito said, making Saruyama nod in fear. Rito and Saruyama had attracted lots of attention since the time that he had started plunging Saruyama's mouth. Rito could only give the people around him a weird smile as he made up some things for them to get through this confusing situation.

"Ahaha, we are just playing..." Rito said in a nervous voice.

"prrf prrf prrf" Saruyama added as he waved his arms, wanting to be heard by the crowd but to no avail.

Good thing that the whole class had ignored them. Lala didn't even managed to look at the two while they are having their quarrel. She is just sitting in her respective seat, talking with some girls that she knew. She had already talked to Haruna, Risa and Mio. Did she told the three of them about Yui?


The class had passed through them and it's already late in the afternoon. Rito can't stop thinking about the quantity of people that she had told about that incident. Why aren't there many people who are confronting him? Maybe, she had only told Saruyama that thing? Just maybe. Yui didn't looked at Rito that same day, same with Lala because she was really upset about the current situation.

Just right on the time when the classes were dismissed, where everyone was gone to go to their respective homes. Rito slowly packed his things. He really don't know what he's going to do about his life. Now with Lala and Yui not talking to him, with Saruyama knowing that he had shared a kiss with Yui, it really bothered his unstable state of mind.

He is walking alone through the school hallways. Everybody was gone, Lala didn't even manage to wait for him. She had been outside the room since the time the bell rang. He really needed to talk to her, but she kept on ruining the situation by escaping. He also didn't talked to Yui that time, she hadn't looked at him even once this school day.

'What a life!' Rito thought out loud as he passed through the school library. Just right after he passed through the door, he was pulled out of his feet to a single corner inside the empty library. The voice called.

"I need to talk to you..."

Rito stared at confusion when the girl revealed herself...
