I haven't been able to get on the computer that much lately, due to my dad. :P to him. BUT I'm back on. Chapter three.

Chapter 3

"You had better take your hands off me!" I said

"Who'll stop me." The man said in my ear.

I had the sudden urge to cry. "No Yaten. Bad Yaten! You CAN'T cry. Crying shows weakness!" I thought.

I let out a scream as he put his hands on my chest.

"Get your hands off of her!" a firm voice said. It was Taiki.

"OK, tough guy,"

I saw the bearded man swing a punch at Taiki. I couldn't help but think he had landed a direct hit to my friend. I wish I could think of her as more than a friend, but she'd never, NEVER, accept me.

"Go away," Taiki said thrusting the man on his behind.

The man scrambled to his feet, and scampered away.

"Taiki," I mumbled.

"It's okay. I'm fine." He said. She had taken male form.

"That's not what I mean. I'm sorry for acting so childish earlier. I don't know what took over me."

"So you really were faking not knowing what had happened to get out of the mess. Weren't you?" he said putting a head on my head.

"Yeah, forgive me?"

"It's not me you should apologize to, it's Seiya."

"Oh, I did kick her pretty hard, didn't I?"

"Let's go back, before you attract any more attention."

"Can't argue with you there,"

"Yaten, where'd you go?" Seiya asked.

"Not far." I responded flopping down on the couch

She started tickling me, out of the blue, and I broke into uncontrollable laughter.

"You're so evil!" I finally managed

"Yes, I know. Thank you."

"That was-"

I caught a glare from Taiki and I stopped.

I pounced onto Seiya and paid her back for what she did to me.

"Yaten. YATEN!" she laughed "Stop… stop it!" she wailed

I got down from on top of her, and perched myself on the arm of the sofa.

I saw in the corner of my eye, Seiya approaching me with a look of naughtiness. However, she did catch me by surprise, and I toppled over.

"Itaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" I yelled out. My feet were over my head, and my hands were pinned under me. My head was in a very weird position, causing my neck to hurt immensely.

"Deserved it!" Seiya said

"Did not!" I shouted jumping to my feet, as if nothing had happened.

"Did too."

"DID NOT!" I said my temper going over the top.

"Calm down. Nothing good comes from being mad." Taiki whispered almost in my ear

"Taiki, I wish you would tell me what you feel for me." I thought

I calmed myself down enough to march to my room.

"Did you just calm her down?" I heard Seiya retort

"I don't know what I did." Taiki responded

"You were being you" I said to myself.

I threw myself on my bed.

"Yaten, dinner's ready." Taiki called out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I screeched as I clumsily fell off of my bed.

"What happened?" Taiki said appearing in my room's doorway.

I looked at her from where I fell. I rubbed my head slightly. "I'm okay." I said before I collapsed back onto the carpet.

"Yaten?"

"I'm okay." I said picking my head up. "Just trying to untangle my foot." I said wincing slightly.

"Oh." She said "Let me help you." Her smooth skin touched my bare foot. She untangled my foot with graceful hands, so unlike my hands, even thought they weren't 'manly' per se nor girly.

"Taiki. My foot's free now." I said

"Sorry." She said slightly blushing. But that wasn't anything compared to how red MY face was.

"I'm so glad that I have these bangs." I thought.

I stood up, and smoothed out my clothes. Taiki had already disappeared into the dining room.

I stuck my nose into the air. "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm." I thought. "Smells good." I said

"I hope it is." Taiki said startling me yet again. I tumbled down the six steps between the bedrooms, and the rest of the apartment. Hitting my head on every single step on the way down.

"Clutz!" Seiya scolded

"Whatever, baka."

"What'd you call me?"

"Baka. Baka Seiya, Baka Seiya!" I teased

"Uh-oh." I thought. Seiya lunged at me like a rabid animal.

Note: Baka means roughly "idiot" or "fool"
