Finally took the liberty of typing this chapter up! X3 Sorry for the delay D: I haven't had access to the computer that allows me to upload this story!

This chapter is a little longer than the others. Every time I tried to end it in a specific area, I'm like "grrrrr this wouldn't make it end well!"

Enjoy the latest chapter! :D

After a couple days of letting his cheeks heal from Miku's and Rin's intensive slapping punishment, Kaito comes out of hiding from his room. Miku and Rin are apparently sitting outside of his door as if they had waited to come out. The two drag Kaito into the kitchen to formulate the plan(s).

Munching on some ice-cream, Kaito asks, "How am I gonna confront her?"

The teal-haired girl then tells him, "Approach her with confidence, but show sensitivity. The first step is to apologize to her. However, the chances of her being sober are slim, since she is ninty-five percent drunk."

"It's impossible then. She probably hates me," Kaito agonizes.

"You sound like a depressed puppy! Man up!" Rin slaps his back, causing him to lurch forward, almost dropping his ice cream.

"Can you stop slapping me?-! The last time you and Miku slapped me, which was when you two kidnapped and questioned me in Miku's room, Haku actually walked in on us and thought we were playing S and M games! I had to waste my ice cream supply by putting it on my face than in my mouth!" Kaito yells, causing the blonde to shrink back. The blunette then realizes what he did and apologizes immediately, hugging her tightly, begging for forgiveness. Rin forgives him, even after she is almost squished to death.

"Now, let's discuss how we're gonna hook you and Haku up," Miku points at Kaito, who gives her a determined nod in reply.

Haku is in her bedroom, sitting at her small work desk, actually trying to write a song. A lead pencil with a Yowaneko eraser on top is in her hands. Lined white paper is in front of her. Nothing is written on the paper yet, since Haku does not even have a clue on what to write. The only thing playing in the albino's mind other than buzzing noises from constant drinking is her encounter with Kaito two days ago.

Haku actually avoided him for two days. She has considered actually coming up to him and apologizing for kicking him and running away, but she went out drinking instead.

"I can't write anything…this is terrible! This is as bad as my singing!" The albino says aloud in despair. She then squeezes her eyes shut, trying to concentrate.

"You didn't sound horrible! You sounded great!"

Those words echo in her mind, causing her eyes to open. Then Haku lays her head down on her desk, calming herself down. Red tints appear on her cheeks as they become hot.

'Maybe…I shouldn't stress out as much about these things', Haku thinks to herself. She then says aloud, "I won't back down this time! I will go apologize!"

The albino gets up from her seat and motions to the door. Being a drinker, Haku does have a couple of beer bottles lying around. And being naturally clumsy, Haku does not notice these bottles until she slips on one of them. She lands on the floor and her dazed eyes stare at the ceiling.

'Not before I snooze in my blackout moment…'

MEANWHILE…

Before Haku fell, Kaito happened to be outside of her room, mustering up the courage to knock on her room.

The ice cream lover wishes he had his muffler to give him some form of strength, but the two devils (also known as Miku and Rin) took it from him. They said that they will keep it until "Operation IcexSake" is a complete success.

Besides, he got changed into an outfit that was lying around in his closet. The outfit actually came from filming the ACUTE music video with Miku and Luka a while back. The entire thing was black; there are black dress pants and spiffy shoes, as well as a V-neck-almost-bare-chested dress shirt that comes to his elbows and a choker to match. His hair is styled like in the video, courtesy of Luka. Kaito even went out to buy a banquet of roses for Haku.

'This is stupid', He thinks to himself, 'She's going to think I'm gonna try to seduce her or something!'

Kaito looks at the banquet and debates with himself whether or not he should knock. He inhales deeply through his nose and closes his eyes. The blunette then turns his back to the door and then walks away slowly, putting his head down in shame for chickening out.

"I won't back down this time! I will go apologize!"

Kaito lifts his head immediately in surprise when he hears that from Haku, who is inside of her room. Then a crash noise follows, causing Kaito to go back and knock on her door many times. He calls her name but receives no response from inside. The door is locked so no one can come in.

Kaito calms himself down a little even though he considers this to be very serious. He coincidentally finds black sunglasses in his back pocket. 'Probably Miku's…' He thinks. Kaito leaves the banquet of roses on Haku's doorstep.

The blunette knows that Haku leaves her window wide open when her door is locked. Running outside to the front, he is correct. His face brightens a little, only to turn serious.

"Haku I'm coming!" Kaito yells out. He takes out a grappling hook attached to a rope, which he took from the shed, and aims it at the albino's window. Once he throws it, the hook attaches itself to something in her room. Kaito checks it to see if it is secured by tugging it.

Sadly, the hook falls down and hits him on the head, causing him to get a bruise and bleed and say curse words that children should not even hear.

The sound of Kaito cursing is enough to wake Haku up. She feels her bruised head before turning attention to the outside of her window.

Looking out the window, the albino sees the blunette cross-legged in a fancy outfit and in pain. His hands are on his head where the bruise is.

"Kaito, did something happen?" Haku calls out from her window.

Kaito looks up at her, wincing and trying to smile, and says, "I wanted to apologize, but when I heard a crash in your room, I had no way of checking since your door was locked. Then I went outside with a grappling hook to check on you through the window."

"Wait there!" She orders him.

The albino leaves her room and almost trips on the roses. Red tints appear on her cheeks, knowing that they are from the idiot who is sitting outside.

Just as she is grabbing ice for Kaito's head, she can feel herself being dragged by four pairs of unknown hands.

"No, wait! I can't leave Kaito out there with a bruise!" Haku exclaims out loud, clearly worried about the blunette.

"He'll be fine. You'll see him, don't worry," Haku hears Miku say.

'I wonder what's taking her?' Kaito thinks, a little worried about her.

Bzzt

A phone in one of Kaito's pockets vibrates. The blunette questions how the phone got there, but nevertheless answer it.

"Hello?" Kaito asks.

"Go to the tree behind you and wait there. There is a small present for you," Rin's voice is heard through the phone.

The call is then disconnected. Kaito walks up to the tree, curious and a little anxious to see what is there.


XxXxX


Any guesses as to what could be behind the tree? :3

Don't worry, I have that part planned out ;D

That's all for now folks! Next chapter will be up in a day or two!
