Yo! Sorry for the long wait - my muse ran away, climbed up a tree and refused to come back down till I bribed it with AMVs and K soundtracks.
Please enjoy!

Misaki highly regretted attending the girl's gossip group meeting. She really shouldn't have let the demon known as Kudo drag her to it. She would have rather made Yamamoto sad and deal with her kicked puppy look and Kudo's demonic glaring then be forever traumatised by teenage girls like she had been.
-LINE-BREAK-
A few hours earlier…
-LINE-BREAK-
Though the girls gathered together on the roof during breaks every day, the 'girl gossip group' only happened every second Monday, unless someone deemed a piece of information necessary to be spread as soon as possible. If so, they can go to either Yamamoto or Kudo and they would then gather the others to hear of it.
Despite being invited to join, Misaki skipped the first few, wary of what a large group made up of mostly teenage girls would talk about. In the end, she had to be dragged to the next meeting by Kudo, apparently on Yamamoto's orders.
Well, not really orders, but not even the tough girl Kudo was, Yamamoto's best (over-protective) friend, could resist the power of the popular girl's puppy dog eyes.
Misaki kind of wished she could use them, but her eyes were too sharp and 'intimidating' – whatever that meant; hey, she was 8, she didn't know everything – to be able to copy its cuteness factor, according to the other girls and Misaki really should learn what the heck their names were.
(She was getting off track.)
"For whatever reason, Midori really wants you to come to a meeting at least once. So, whether you want to or not, you're coming or you'll upset her. Got it?" Kudo smiled, and Misaki would later swear the older girl had horns and fangs. Lightning flashed in the background for added effect.
Misaki gulped, paling. "R-right," she choked out weakly.
Kudo returned to normal. "Great! Let's go."
'No wonder guys are so scared of girls,' Yata thought faintly. 'They're frightening. At to think, I'm one of them.'
Misaki's thought process veered off course, and an evil grin briefly crossed her face. 'I wonder if I can learn how to do that…'
Had it not been so cliché, she might have started laughing evilly.
It was probably a good thing Kudo had her back to her and the halls were empty, otherwise people might've started to question Misaki's sanity.
-LINE-BREAK-
For the chestnut haired girl, school couldn't end fast enough. As soon as the bell rang, she was out of the classroom and running to meet her 'follower' near the gates, not bothering with her usual patrol of the hallways or grounds.
"Yata-san?" Rikio looked worried, but Misaki hardly noticed. "Are you alright?"
Yata turned to him with wide eyes. "Kamamoto." She said seriously. "I don't think I'll ever be able to look another teenage girl in the face without remembering."
"What?" The blond frowned in confusion. "Remember what-"
"Don't make me say it!" Misaki practically screeched, a faintly ill look crossing her face. She grabbed her stomach like she might be sick. She certainly felt like she will be. "Girls are scary and talk about… stuff…"
Rikio blinked. "Did you finally go to one of those gossip meetings? What, exactly, did they talk about?"
The younger cringed. "You don't what to know. You really, really don't. Trust me on that."
One of the girls that was at The Meeting – and yes, it needed the capitals – came skipping past. Aika was her name if Misaki remembered correctly. One of the few names she remembered.
"Bye-bye, Yata-chan!" The girl waved cheerfully.
To Misaki's horror, she felt her face start to turn red.
"S-see-ya!" She managed to splutter out. Aika, bless her denseness, didn't notice anything wrong and only smiled and continued on her way.
A few minutes passed in silence as the two children walked, with Misaki finally managing to fight the flush back from her face and return her panicked breathing back to normal.
Finally, Rikio spoke.
"… I think you were right, Yata-san. I really don't want to know."
The blush returned with a vengeance. Misaki started spluttering again.
"I-idiot!"
(Thankfully for Misaki, baseball started soon afterwards and she was never dragged to another gathering again.)
(Unfortunately, she would continue to recall 'The Meeting' for many years to come.)
(By age 19, she still couldn't face other girls properly.)

You have no idea how hard it was to write this, no matter how short. I don't know when the next chapter will be up so don't hold your breath for it.
Pairings:
Misaki/Mikoto - 6
Misaki/Chitose - 2
Izumo/Seri - 1
Suggested pairings
Mikoto/Fem!Tatara (if not with Misaki (considering the votes, this is unlikely to happen))
Izumo/Fem!Tatara (if not with Seri)
Seri/Munakata (if not with Izumo)
Kuroh/Neko
I took down the Shiro/Neko pairing from the list because I just realised that it was kind of creepy. Reminds me of Bella and Edward from Twilight.
(Remember people, Shiro is Adolf which means he's, like, 50 years older than her. Really creepy if you give it too much thought.)
Bye-bye baby!
