ASUKA'S BOOK OF LOVE

Author's Note: Trouble, trouble and more trouble for our protagonists is finally here! Remember, Fubuki has the journal now and, since he's extremely bored in class, he sits next to Misawa in order to tell him his plan through it. Simple right? Nothing could go wrong... or could it? Well, read to find out! After all, only one more chapter to go and then we will have the midchapter... the moment of the revelation of the one Asuka likes. So, enough with that... Read and have fun!


Chapter Eight: 10join F.C. featuring Misawa and Manjyome

Fubuki: My beloved Asuka, if you are reading this it means that my plan will have worked! See, I told you that being in love was fabulous and you owe the experience of this newfound emotion to me, the Lovemaster aka, your brother. Well, scrap that, at least for now. Ladies and gentlemen, today at 10join F.C. we have with us a very honourable guest, for whom this …journal broadcast takes place. Please greet Daichi Misawa, who is about to learn how he is going to win my sister's heart.

Misawa: Um… thank you very, very much for your help, Fubuki but you don't have to be so dramatic, again. It's only a journal.

Manjyome: It's not ANY journal! It's Asuka's Book of Love, you Ra scum! How can you say that you care about her and not pay the proper respect to an object she has held so close? This journal is sacred. Oh, let's see, does she mentions me too?

Fubuki: INTRUDER ALERT! Manjyome, what are you doing here? I was about to explain to Daichi here how to win my sister's everlasting affection. There's a whole plan involved with a karaoke party and duets and bringing them closer –argh! You certainly don't have anything to do with it!

Manjyome: Yes I do. I love Asuka too and I'm better than this trash! Why don't you help me instead?

Misawa: Sorry Jun, but you've had your chances and it seems you are NOT the lady's choice. Why don't you let someone else try for a change? After all, empirical evidence on which I based my calculations support that your chances of getting out with her are nil.

Manjyome: Huh? Well, don't bother to repeat anyway. Since I'm sitting next to you and I love Asuka, I have a right to spy on… gaze at your writings too. Otherwise, I'm telling Dr. Chronos right here and now that two of his favourite students are scribbling in a stolen notebook like girly girls in the middle of his class. And I don't think that'll make him very happy!

Fubuki: Oh, Manjyome my friend. I want you to know that I'd rather prefer you dating Asuka than this nerd… sorry, mathematically inclined guy but in this case, he is right. As impossible as it sounds (well, not really!), my sister doesn't seem to like you. But I know another girl who's obsessed about you and she'd die for an invitation to the graduation party.

Manjyome: You mean Junko?

Fubuki: Exactly. Don't underestimate her, pal! She's as obsessed with you as… you are with my sister and she'd do anything to become closer to you. So, would you like to come in my karaoke party with her? I'm hosting one tonight at my room and Daichi can come too as the general plan is…

Misawa: Shh! Dr. Chronos announces the difference between a continuous spell and a quick spell. That's not a tricky one but these exceptions need to be fit into my calculations…

Fubuki: Geez! Do you even like Asuka?

Misawa: Like her? I love her more than math! I want to duel her badly!

Fubuki: Right. Now a quick question… Which part of Asuka do you like the most?

Misawa: Her rich …bust.

Manjyome: Idiot! Tenjouin-kun has the most beautiful eyes ever, reflecting the current state of the world they perceive. Her hair is flowing and warm, like the sand when kissed by the sun. Her posture-

Fubuki: Ok, now we're talking, Misawa. I know well that my sister is a vixen, not a freaking equation or a weird poem (Manjyome that's for you!) Please cut the math crap from now on and concentrate on the plan. To make things clear: you are invited to the karaoke party, she is invited to the karaoke party, you sing a duet together because I say so, as host and ta-da you suddenly come very close. I can't do more, from there on; you need to experiment all by yourself.

Manjyome: I love that plan! If only it was conceived with me in the place of the protagonist!

Misawa: I like your plan too. It uses elementary logic and simple axioms in order to solve the greater problem that we are facing. Your step-by-step analysis is clearly and distinctly structured, constituting of a harmonical and elegant approach that is characterized by originality.

Fubuki: Yeah, whatever.

Manjyome: Lucky mustard (b'st…) I wish I were in your place. Oh yes, Fubuki, I'm so coming to that karaoke party, but only to see your plan in action. I'll prove you it's no use.

Fubuki: If you keep quiet, I'll give you a one-of-a-kind Asuka type card, the Manjyome Fangirl Asuka, specially ordered from Hayato. I believe this edition has no underwear on!

Manjyome: Oh yes, yes please! blushes, his face transforms into a mask of lust Give it to me! I'll do anything for such a card.

Misawa: Guys, I don't want to interrupt but you have problems. You are making to much noise and professor Chronos is looking at you.

Fubuki: Please, just ignore the old hag. I mean who is interested in trap cards anyway? My deck has all powerful monsters who can dispose of the opponent in just one turn. Add my genius into the mix and you have the future King of Games.

Misawa: No, that's wrong! Dr. Chronos should be the least of your worries. Asuka has seen you too and she certainly doesn't seem happy. Maybe she's seen you writing in her journal.

Fubuki: Oh-uh! Wait… what is she doing? Is she coming this way, in the middle of the class? And is that her dueling disk she is holding?

Manjyome: Asuka-san! I adore you!

Fubuki: Gasp! She seems very angry. I've never seen her like that again. SMACK. Ouch…

Detention Note from Professor Chronos di Medici

Miss Tenjouin, I am unhappy to inform you that your act of hitting your brother, Fubuki Tenjouin in the middle of the class with your dueling disk is totally unacceptable and will thus be punished with detention. Mr. Tenjouin, you leave me no choice but to assure you follow her, as you were extremely noisy in class today. I am very sorry to have two of the Academy's best students having to spend today's night in detention, but your conduct in my class matters as much as academic achievement. Mr. Misawa and Mr. Manjyome are exempt from their punishment, as they were slightly less irritating today. Mr. Judai Yuki, however, will be joining you.

Misawa (after a while): So… I suppose this means the plan is cancelled? I mean, you can't host a karaoke party if you're in detention, right? Well, at least you'll have good company there… Asuka and Judai.

Fubuki: Sadly yes, but don't worry, I'll come up with something soon! There's a part I don't get though. I mean detention for Judai, why? What did he do?

Manjyome: He deserves it, that Slacker. After all, don't you ever read the entire detention notes? There's a most clarifying PS in there…

Fubuki: Yeah, I guess… Weird, that teacher gives me the creeps. I mean, he is too bored to write three different detention notes for three people and puts everything in one instead... It's not even clear who he is addressing! Well, I shouldn't complain. By some odd turn of events, I still have the journal, even though this time, Asuka knows…

PS: My writing style as well as the reasons of Yuki's punishment should not interest you, Mr. Tenjouin. Yet, I feel obliged to tell you that sleeping in class is another example of intolerable behaviour, at least that's what my PHD says.


Since most of you voted for Judai, it is to him that Asuka will be revealing her crush in the next chapters. But then, since a lot of you (including me) voted for Fubuki, I'll make sure he will be somewhere in the mix, as a great guest star (or the centre of the spotlight, as he's indeed my favourite character in GX...) If you want to see what happens, well stay tuned! I love you all and I send you lots of kisses, if you R&R, that is! If you just don't feel like reviewing, you still get the love but not the kisses! (Lol, that was just too random!) See ya!
