Ryu is late for class and is standing out in the hallway. =w=;

*sigh* "How did things turn out this way? I only have five more days till…well…you know. What should I do?~~~~~"

"Confess to Mio-chan!"

"hmm…yeah. I'll confess to Mio-cha- WHAT?"

Turns to see Mugi right next to him.

"M-Mugi! Since when-!" *sweat drop*

"tehe~ I 'forgot' my homework so here I am." *grin*

"….Mugi. =.=;;;;"

"HEY! No talking!" The teacher yells from the classroom.

"H-Hai!" the two says in unison.

"….I only have five more days, Mugi." Ryu speaks in a quieter tone looking out the window across from him.

" Five days till What?"

"Till my time runs out in this world."

"…well…Better confess before then, huh?~ "

"As I said before, there's just no way. Mio has only known 'Ryu' for a couple of days, and what if she doesn't feel the same way?" Ryu's brows furrow in frustration.

"Hehe~ don't worry, it'll be fine. I think Mio has taken an interest in 'Ryu-kun', and some her fan club members seem to encourage the hook up. Although, I think some of the other boys are jealous."

"uh…word spreads fast, doesn't it? Ha ha."

"Anyway, I'll help you too!" Mugi's eyes beaming in determination.

"Uh…That's okay, Mugi. I think I can manage...somehow."

Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of the classroom door opening.

"Come on you two, come in for the rest of the class period" says the teacher, beckoning his two students to come back in.

"Hai, sensei."

After class…Lunch break. Mio, Yui, Nodoka, Mugi and Ryu arrange the desks to make a table for themselves.

"Ryu-san, I hear that you've joined the HTT club?" a certain short-haired with glasses asks.

"Hai, Nodoka..san."

"hm? How do you know Nodoka-chan. Ryu-chan?" Yui says, while stuffing her face with food…again.

"Oh um…M-Mugi told me about her. R-right, Mugi?" turning to the blond haired girl for backup.

"Yup~ I told Ryu-kun about how Nodoka-chan would always help us out. Like with filling out the forms and even organize the funding for the club."

"S-See?" =w=;;;

"oh~"

At that moment, Ryu feels a tap on his shoulder and looks behind him to see who it was. It was Asakura Kazumi (A Mahou sensei negima character whom I'm borrowing to be the school's paparazzi person ;b )

"Ryu-kun~ My name is Asakura Kazumi, from the school's news paper. May I ask you a couple of questions?"

"um…..well, I uh-…" Ryu was unsure of whether to answer them or not because Asakura was known to ask the most uncomfortable questions, and get the answers she wants from people…A very dangerous paparazzi.

"Great! First question! Is it true that you and Akiyama Mio dating?"

Mio spurts out the juice she was drinking, and Nodoka almost chokes on a piece of food she was eating. While Yui and Ryu's eyes were wide open in shock, and Mugi just sat there smiling. Everyone in the classroom stares at the group.

"WHAT? Is that true, Ryu-chan?" Yui slams her hand on the table, her eyes gleaming in excitement.

"What? NO I-!"

"C-congratulations you two," says Nodoka while wiping her mouth with her napkin.

"Yes~ Congratulations!" Mugi claps her hand happily.

"…." Mio just sat there trembling, too embarrassed to speak.

"M-Mugi! Even you, Nodoka? That's not it! I-!"

Yui goes over to Ryu's side and grabs his hands, making him blush even more.

"Please take good care of our precious, Mio-chan!" Her eyes tearing up and beaming.

"You're not listening to me!" X(

Other classmates join the mayhem.

"Kya~ Congratulations Akiyama-chan!"

"So, Mio's been taken huh?"

"Who does that guy think he is?"

"Wow! The new guy takes on Akiyama Mio!"

"So how far do you think they've gotten?"

"It's only been a couple of days, but-"

"Kya~ oh no~ Ryu-kun's been stolen by HTT's basist!"

"SHUT UP!"

Mio snaps and screams at the top of her lungs as she stands up abruptly from her seat; causing the chair to fall down. Everyone was silenced…

"Mio-chan…." Yui says quietly, her hands still gripping onto Ryu's.

"heh~ So is it true?" Asakura asks, getting closer to Mio with her note pad and pen.

Mio shoots a glare at the journalist and speaks in such a very dangerous tone that everyone seemed to take a step back from her

"Cut. It. Out. KAZUMI. And the answer is NO."

Everyone was still silent until Mio walked out of the room, saying that she needed to use the 'toilet'.

Asakura scratches her head. "Hmm…I think I might've pushed it too far, huh?" *sweat drop*

" 'might've?' more like 'pushed over the edge.'" A classmate remarks.

"well…it's partly our fault for making such a big deal out of it."

"We should apologize to her when she comes back"

"IF she comes back"

"yeah. From the looks of it, It seemed like she was gonna walk right out of the school."

Ryu, Nodoka, and the rest of the HTT members stare out the door where Mio had exited from.

"Mio…." Ryu whispers.

The situation has become much more dire!


Heheheh~ Sorry about ending the chapter this way, but I need to think more about how Ryu's gonna 'capture' Mio's heart after something like THIS happens. Even I'm not too sure how things will turn out! ;b Thanks for reading, and please R&R if you will~ *Bows*


EXTRA:

Ryu: The heck is with this situation old man?

Angel: Hey, don't look at me. I'm not the one writing the story…and well…The story wouldn't be as interesting then, would it? Ohohoho~

Ryu: WHY YOU! *grabs the old man's neck*

Angel: *GAKK AUGH COUGH* ST-TOP! YOU'LL KILL ME!

Angel falls to the floor and Ryu just looks at him.

...

Angel: JU~~~ST Kidding! I can't die! Cause I'm already dead! (kinda) *makes a 'victory' sign*

Ryu: Will you just shut up? =.= *vein pops*
