Author Notes.

Riogh: Wow! I'm loved by millions of people all over the world! So Many Reviews. I could Cry…* Grabs and Tissue and Blows *

Haruko: Ewww….But I must admit, people do miss the guy.

Naota: They MISS HIS STORIES…not him, don't get his hopes up

Eri: Naota, Do you always have to be so Rude, What if they do miss him?!

Naota: All the reviews Said to update the story. Not to come back.

Riogh: But Without The author this story wouldn't be what it is!

Eri: Therefore they want him as much as the story.

Riogh: Or I'd like to think so!

Riogh: Anyway, I must apologize again, it's hard to update. Homework. 8th grade. Too much to do and with so little time!

But Here the fourth Chapter! Hope yell enjoy it.

Mall Girls+ Naota= Pure Insanity and Torture.

(AU: Doesn't that sound so Pleasant Naota." Naota: NO!!! SAVE MEEEeeeeee)

Hunger is one of the many problems with the world. I mean, how many of you have like missed a Meal or two in a day? It hurts doesn't it? Or Like..a True Football Game. With your buds and Pals..? No pads Or Helmets..? But where you're playing..is right beside a Road..and you trip ?

Or Like A Woman coming out nowhere one Vespa and smacking you in the head with a guitar..! …Ok so that narrows down to about Me.( AU: Hey..If anyone has had this happen to them TELL ME, or something like it )

But the point I'm trying to make is, there are a lot of painful things in the world. Now see that list, its Nothing compared to this

" OOHHHHH A SALE AT DILLARDS!!! NAOTA HURRY UP WITH THOSE BAGS"

That's where I am at the moment. Dillard's. In a Mall. With a Woman and A Girl. I'm beginning to fall for. Weird Hmm? Now I Know all those American guys like to go to mall. But here, guys and malls DO NOT MIX. Malls are for girls, guys shouldn't have to go..

SO WHY AM I HERE?! I don't know. I don't care to know. So long as I sit here on the bench, look up as one of the girls come out of the dressing room, ask if it looks ok and nod..Im ok.

Until..Out of nowhere, im in one of those dressing rooms. Looking at clothing that just appeared in my hands. And with a clear mind except for..TRY IT ON.

Dear Gods Why?

Oh I know why. Cause of what Haruko and my dad did. Cause I Couldn't stand the harsh reality. And Cause I Ran into Eri. Cause she's being so nice.

Reluct, I pull off my pants….

Why was I doing this again?

 Girls are Crazy.

I sip at the soda calmly. Looking down at what can only be described as an endless pile of clothing stuff in bags. Food Court. The only Manly thing in this place, Aside from the sword store down the hall. But Food is a man thing. Eating to eat. Living to Eat. He had a new outfit on. A Black Sweater on the inside, red strips on the arm and shoulders. A Blue T-Shirt in front of that. And Blue Jean Pants. Eri was wearing a new outfit as well. A Short Jean Jacket with a pink shirt on. A Large Star in the middle. Black loose jeans.

(AU: Naota: Has Anyone Notice He's not good at Clothing…?")

Eri's Friends suddenly showed up. Calling out to her, She grinned and rose from her seat and raced to talk to them. I sit it and Sip My Soda. I don't think ill ever understand girls. They don't add up. I Show Emotions, Sometimes. But in Mabase, it's hard for most guys to show emotion. My Fathers a Looney. So he's excused. But women…could be happy or sad..Joyful or Depress. They were As Odd as it comes. He continued to watch Eri out of the corners of his eyes. But thinking he didn't look it. The woman Grinned.

" If you stare to long..Youll burn a Hole in her..Ya Know..?"

" Hmmm…staring at her….At Ninamori..?"

" Don't play dumb…Boys are easy to see through "

Naota gave her a dry look and shrugged. Looking at his empty Plate of food. He sighed. It was hard not to look at her. She was just too weird.

" Do you…like her..?"

" Like her how..?"

" Like..You know…* Kissy Noise *"

" What does it matter to you anyway..?"

" You do doncha.."

" Maybe So..?"

" Do you…love her.."

Naota blinked and spat Soda.  Coughing. Eri blinked and eyed him as well as her Friends. Naota blinked and instantly began to clean up his mess, Blushing lightly on his cheeks, while the woman giggled. Eri's friend had to go and She returned watching the both of them calmly. " You Ok Naota…? " 

Naota hope the blush had gone, and nodded silently. Eri Smiled and Grinned. " Movie.."

Naota Blinked.. " Movie…?"

" Yes Movie.."

" What about Movie..?"

" We're going to the movies.."

" We are..?"

" Yes we are.."

" No and Why..?"

" Yes, and because my friends just saw a really good one.. I want to see it to.."

" No, and is it a gutsy cutie love movie.."

" Yes and No, Its got adventure and sword fighting.."

" Must I..? And Why would a girl want to see a movie like that.."

" If you want to avoid Haruko and because its funny and its got a romance in it"

" But Haruko's not here.."

Suddenly a Crash exploded from somewhere down the Mall's Hall. People Screamed and jumped out of the way. One man Crying.. " WHO DRIVES A VESPA THROUGH A WINDOW..CRAZY LADY.."

Naota blinked and stood, grabbing the bags and walking the movie theater.

" Sounds great, Whats it call, who's paying, and im sitting next to the aisle"

Eri grinned and rushed up after him. The woman laughing and following as well.

The Movie, as it turned out, was Pirates of the Caribbean. A Movie about a Captain trying to get his Ship back, and about a Blacksmith trying to get the love of his life away from zombie pirates. In a Sense, it wasn't that bad, the sword battles were quite well done, and story and plotline were cool as well. He actually likes the movie. Eri sat next to him, and the secretary next to her, they would sometimes lean over and whisper to each other. Naota ignored it. What did it matter, maybe they were talking about the cute blonde guy. Not that He thought he was cute, but some women in the back row must have thought so. He sat, sipping his soda calmly. It was getting to a scary part in the move. As The moon Shone in Pirates. Showing their true forms.

Someone was holding tightly to his arm, Clinging to it suddenly. He tried to ignore it, but he was going numb. But he couldn't take his eyes off the screen. He leaned in closer to whomever it was, prepare to ask them kindly to let go. But Suddenly, the bony monkey screamed, and popcorn flew, as there were two hands clutching his arm and head hiding her eyes in his arm. Naota Blinked. Smirking slightly.. " Ill tell you when its ok to look.." He said calmly.

Eri blinked and looked up at his face, so caring. So understanding. She almost melted Might then and there. She smiled, and curled up in her chair, loosened her grip on the boy, and leaned her head against his shoulder lightly. Smiling in pure Delight and bliss. She knew she was in love with him. There was no question, and with the incident, maybe..He could find time to love her more

Naota Didn't understand it..He simply..didn't get it. Haruko could shove her almost naked body on top of him, kiss him and yet..It met nothing. Absolutely, Nothing. And yet, here was a girl, nearly stopping the heart flow in his body, out of fear for some little zombie monkey, laying her head on his shoulder. And Somehow, he never wanted that movie to end, cause he liked it. It meant so much more when Eri Ninamori, would run to him when she was scarred, Cling to him in a movie theater..He didn't understand Girls. He didn't understand his own heart. But At this point in time, it didn't matter at all. Not the least bit..All that mattered, was there was another scary part in the movie, and Eri was scared again.

Riogh: WOW. Did that ever take me a long time? IM RELLY SORRY EVERYONE. Truly I am. But I had Writers Block and now it's gone. I Saw a Sweet Sweetheart Scene. And Ideas just flooded into my brain. Ill be starting the Fifth Chapter Tonight. Again I apprentice the reviews and patience, and I hope that everyone will be patient just alittle longer. I will plan to have 6 chapters, maybe 7. So only 1 or 2 to go.

Eri: Man, We were getting bored Riogh..

Naota: But I'm happy..

Haruko: Naota Just admit it, You Missed him too

Naota: Yer nuts, I'm sorry he's back!

Eri: Just Say GOODBYE

Naota: Reviews Please, Flamers ARENT Welcome. All those Language Arts Teachers out there…

Riogh: GET OFF MY BACK. I LACK PATIENCE WITH MY SPELL CHECK…a lot of patience
