howdie everyone. I no, it's been taking me so long to update the last few chapters. Gomen! I've had little to no time to write them. It'll prolly be this way until I finish it up, or until school ends, but I don't know if I'll be able to hold out that long. Thischapter is really really short btw.

Chapter 9: Doom

Takenaga stared at the door, unable to move. He couldn't handle being in the same room as Ranmaru right now. As he stood there, the banging got louder, turning into pounding.

"TAKENAGA! Open this door right now!"

Takenaga was both relieved and surprised to find that it was not who he had originally thought to be on the other side of his door. He opened the door to an annoyed Kyohei, allowing him into the room. Before shutting the door, Takenaga poked his head into the hall to make sure no one else was there. He then stepped into the room, quietly shutting the door behind him.

Kyohei made himself comfortable in Takenaga's desk chair. He studied the wall in front of him in silence while waiting for Takenaga to sit on his bed. When neither of them had spoken after a few moments, Takanaga decided to start the conversation.

"What's up Kyohei?"

"…What are we going to do about Ranmaru?"

Takenaga pondered the question for a moment before replying.

"There's not much we can do except try to keep it from him. But I don't know how long I can keep it a secret if he decides to corner me with questions."

"I know. But, no matter what we do, he's gonna find out sooner or later. Preferably later. "

"I agree with you there. What can we do until then? We cant avoid him, it will only fuel his fire so to speak."

"I know. Just act as normal as possible around him so he doesn't become suspicious."

"Too late, he already is."

"What!"

"Yeah. This morning in the kitchen when you and Sunako-chan had the encounter in the doorway, he asked something and I kind of went into a daze thinking about what happened between you guys. He caught me in the process. Yuki had to wave a hand in front of my face to bring me back."

"Oh no. This cannot be happening to me. Sunako-chan is gonna be in danger if he finds out any more. I cant believe this is happening."

"Don't panic. Sunako-chan can fend for herself, remember? She sure can kick your ass if she really wanted to."

"Your right. I wont panic. Not yet anyway. Alright, I gotta go. See ya later."

" Bye Kyohei."

Kyohei looked at his friend, then left the room leaving Takenaga some time to think before he had to get ready for dinner.

Author's Note:

I'm gonna try to add more to this chapter when I get the chance because its really short. but it's short for 2 reasons: 1) I have had very little free timebecause i have a lot to do outside of school, and 2) I'm running out of ideas. I would really like some suggestions on what y'all want to see happen, then, I'll see what I can do from there. Plus, I feel like its getting boring even though things are only getting started. please tell me what you think, I would really appreciate it.

I also want to try and get Noi-chan in here sometime, andif not by the end of this chapter, preferably in the next one to two chapters. Suggestions on that would be great too.

Now that I feel I've ranted long enough, please leave some feedback by pressing the little button down below…come on, you know you wanna press it…if you don't press it, the world will blow up…okay, maybe it wont, but I tried –sigh-.

alright, I'm done. Toods everyone!
