-Chapter 10-

"Thanks for helping me out Brief. I'm still not use to using these stupid crutches yet." Kneesocks said as Brief walked beside her. Currently, Brief was walking with Kneesock's books, as well as her backpack. Normally, this isn't a problem for someone like him. It was the fact of how heavy everything turned out to be...

'She's in the same grade as me and yet she has all of these advanced classes. That just goes to show how smart Kneesocks-sama is.' he thought as they walked into their English class. Mr. Lopez, who still had his forth hour class in progress, turned and smiled at them.

"Ohaiyo Mr. Rock. I see you're helping Kneesocks again?" Brief nodded and mentally sighed to himself. Mr. Lopez could never say the hello correctly... "You two can wait in the back of the room for now. Class is just about over so no need to send you out." Brief nodded and led Kneesocks to the table that became their normal 'hang-out' when the roof was taken by the other students.

'At least today's the day we're going on our date-I mean scene hunting!' Brief blushed at the thought of it. He even brushed his hair back, making everyone that saw him beside Kneesocks either surprised or angered at him. Not only that; but, when ever he had his hair like this, people think he's another person! Kneesocks placed her hand on his, making him look at her smiling face. 'When her smile isn't evil, she looks cute.'

"So Brief, do you have everything for our date? It wouldn't be a problem if we have to drop off by your place for you to get something." Brief shook his head and briefly flashed his wallet.

"I have my wallet and you by my side. I got everything." Brief said with a smile until he realized what he had said. "I-I, what I meant to say was-" Kneesocks giggled and placed a finger on his lips.

"It's okay Brief. It's my first date as well. I'm quite happy sharing it with you." Kneesocks never went on a date before this? That came off as a surprise to Brief, considering how popular and well liked she at Daten High.

"This can't really be your first date right?" Kneesocks lightly jabbed him with her crutch, though he still gasped in pain due to it hitting his little rock.

"Unless you count Father-Daughter events as dates."

'Apparently she didn't notice where she hit me... Ouch.' he thought as the bell rang, letting him get a glance of everyone in forth hour leaving the classroom. "So where do you want to check out first?"

"How about the mall? There are a lot of things we can use there as source material." Brief nodded as he began writing on a new page in his notebook. The two were close to being done with their project, as they wrote out the characters, antagonists, unimportant characters, or NPCs as he kept on referring them to, and the basic storyline. All they needed to do was go to each 'scene' for additional details.

'I'm so glad I've been saving up cash for this day. I don't want to end up broke or having her pay for me. That's one of the mistakes Garterbelt told me.' Garterbelt, now there was someone who was kind to him. He kept on showing support after that horrible day, letting him have his own key to the church, and even allowed him to go through Panty's stuff, though the last one he politely rejected. It was one thing to go through your girlfriend's stuff; but, it was another to go through one of your friend's things.

Girlfriend...

That was something Brief never expected for himself to have unless he brought out the comb. Kneesocks and him were still on their 'trial' period; but, every time they had a bit of privacy it was very, very hot.

'Who knew she could use her tongue like that in my mouth?' he thought as he remembered their first kiss. It, like most of the things Brief did, was a total accident. It started a few days after Kneesocks got done with her surgery and he had a few gifts for her. A bag of Lindor Truffles, her schoolwork, and few cds to go with her cd player. 'Wouldn't of figured she liked Malice Mizer, Versailles, or even Vocaloids of all things.' Well, after he walked into her room, he was given the opportunity of looking at Kneesocks lifting her shirt, giving him a good view at her breasts. Not knowing what to do, Brief placed his stuff on her bed and was about to walk out; however, she pulled him towards her. Fearing the worst, he pulled on her arm, making their lips meet. The next thing he knew, he fell on his back, putting force into his lips as she clung to him.

"After the mall we can check out the library since it's only a few minutes from there. After that we can head to the movies."

"Or," Kneesocks leaned to his ear, placing a hand on his inner lap, "we could have a very interesting session at the library Brief."

"AHEM!" Brief turned to see a slightly glaring Stocking and a smirking Scanty, who was eating a few grapes. "What are you doing Kneesocks? You have Brief here lit up like an angry fire." Kneesocks simply moved away, something that, while he was thankful for, also saddened him to no end.

"I had to whisper something into his ear. It's as simple as that." Kneesocks ran a hand on her knee, making it look as if she wanted to take off the cast and scratch it. "Out of all the human things to annoy me, this thing is the worst." That made the three of them chuckle at the comment.

"I bet that isn't as bad as the cast I had to get on my middle fingers. You remember how much I tried to rip them off and scratch them, only for father to enchant the dam thing. 'This is your punishment for breaking a rruuurruuu~' he teasingly said! I bet he just wanted to see me squirm as I tried to focus on anything but the dam cast!" Kneesocks and Stocking were laughing at the statement as Brief patted her back, mumbling 'there there...'

"Well that's nothing compared to the sling casts I had to get on my right arm. Panty one day decided to put some mashed up food in it when I was asleep and got ants inside the thing! I got her good though, made sure to put a bear in her closet." Brief went silent and looked at the Gothic candy lover.

'A bear? Panty's closet is full of clothes, shoes, and other stuff. So how could she of gotten a bear inside?' "You got a baby cub inside her closet?" Stocking shook her head before she took a bite out of a cookie.

"Nope, I think it was an adult black bear. I had it unconscious thanks to so me blow darts and tied its nuts to the handle of Panty's closet. That way, when she went to yank it out as she normally does, it would wake and claw off her face!" Brief watched as the three girls laughed. He just couldn't find that funny at all, considering that a BEAR was used.

"What about you Brief."

"Huh?"

"Did you ever have to get a cast for anything?" Kneesocks asked. It was then that he felt his face drain of color. He looked at the wall, trying to push away the flashing memories that stirred to come up.

"Nope. I've always been careful and the bullying keeps me fit enough to avoid such things." 'Oh shit. I shouldn't of said that.'

"Bullying?" the three girls said at the same time. Before Brief could avoid the topic, the bell rang right as Mr. Lopez walked back into the room.

"In your seats everyone! I have an announcement to make!"

'Thank you Kami-sama! Thank you for the save!' he thought to himself as he watched Mr. Lopez sit at his desk.

"As you know, two things have happened in this classroom. The first is that most of you are still acting like little children with your diapers on your heads. The second, being more important, is that Panty Anarchy is in a coma. So-yes?"

"Why did you say Panty's name first?" a random queen bee asked. Brief only hoped that she wasn't another ghost in disguise.

"You can blame my relatives in America coming to visit. As much as I love them and all, they tend to screw around with my teachings and what-not. Anyway, the goal of today is to make Panty get-well-soon cards while I take the time to skim through what you all have for your stories. You still have time to complete them; however, anyone who I deem doesn't have enough will get a penalty attached to this project. Trust me when I say you don't want this penalty." Brief, as well as everyone else in the class, gulped at the teacher's words. The last time he gave penalties, it involved the students to do embarrassing things through the hallways of the school. If they didn't do it, they'd get another penalty; but, if they got caught by the principal, then he wouldn't come up in their defense as to why they did it. "Row A, bring your story material up to my desk. Everyone else, the cardboard, markers, and other materials are on the heater. Get going!"

"Do you have your materials Brief?"

"Yea, never leave home without them."

"Then I'll go and get us some supplies while you take out your material okay?" Brief watched as she walked away, looking at her curved ass that was hiding under her short skirt. A shake of his head later, Brief began thinking of Panty as he emptied his bag.

"As you can see here, her mind has been under a lot of stress. An amount like this is known to make people act out in a crazed manner."

If only Brief ran faster, if only he had wings to catch her...

"This stress could of been caused by too many 'negatives' appearing rapidly. Either way, the force of her fall hitting the roof of the main floor was the only thing to save her. If she hit the concrete, then she... Anyway, she is stuck in a coma, and we're trying all that we can in order to realign all of her broken bones. It's a miracle her spine had such little damage; but, she IS an angel after all..."

He was a human, and Panty was an angel. In a way, he should of accepted that answer long ago and gave up his crush on her. Something held it there, even if it was a small needle in the growing hay stack that was rising for Kneesocks.

For once in his life, he was HAPPY with a girl that wasn't family!

Their conversations were always interesting, giving each other something new to learn, Corset was a decent man when he didn't try to put him in the leather pants, and the physical things they got into...

'Being caught by Scanty when we were in the girl's bathroom was embarrassing, though not as embarrassing as when she took a picture of Kneesocks giving me my first hickey as blackmail material.' he thought as he felt a shiver run down his spine. 'I'm still waiting for Scanty to make some type of demand. That, or for someone to find the hickey on me.'

"So Brief," he shook his head and turned to see Stocking standing above him, "do you have any plans today?"

"Yea Stocking. Kneesocks and I are going to go and look over a few places for our story. What about you?" Stocking pulled out a small candy and gave it to him. "Thanks."

"Scanty and I should be going back to her place and start writing the real rough draft instead of these small snippets Scanty decided to write." Brief nodded and began working on the prologue of the story.

"As much as I like seeing you talking with Brief, he and I need to start working on these cards Stocking. Don't worry, we can all talk at lunch today." Kneesocks stated as she sat back down, handing him his half of the supplies. Stocking looked at him with a rather curious expression before she returned to her seat, leaving the two alone once more. "Now that she's gone, we can work on these cards without the distraction."

'Well, Stocking isn't a distraction like Kneesocks thinks; but, it would make things easier if I didn't have her around when I'm making this. Besides, a jealous Kneesocks is a funny Kneesocks that ends up being cute.' Brief thought as he began to highlight the edge of the card pink. 'Heh, pink is usually a virgin color isn't it?' Brief chuckled to himself as he wrote 'Get Well Soon' on the front in red marker. Pulling out a duplicate picture of him, Panty, and Stocking taking a picture with Chuck being held by all three, he taped it to the inside of the card and wrote some kind things before coloring the backside. As soon as he was done, he heard a small horn blow.

"Row two plus Brief, get down here and show me your papers! Brief, you get to bring yours and Kneesock's work up here."

"Why do I got to go up there?" Brief muttered to himself as if he lost a contest. Kneesocks chuckled and hit his shoulder with her crutch. "Ow!"

"You'll live Brief. Besides, this gives us more time to work with each other on the story. My stuff is behind me." Brief collected their things before walking to the line in front of Mr. Lopez's desk.

"This is lame. A story about someone getting a video game? Pointless! NEXT!" Mr. Lopez handed the paper to Robert, a fellow nerd who liked Star Wars a bit too much for Brief to ignore. "A sappy romance that deals with a love triangle, and a crossover with another book? PITIFUL! NEXT!" The girl took her papers and walked back to her desk.

'Wow, I guess Mr. Lopez had a rough weekend.' Brief thought as Ashley, another friend who liked yaoi a bit too much, was literally thrown to her desk with her stapled book tossed on her head.

"As much as I respect your choice of fandom, warn a guy next time before you make him read YAOI OF ALL THINGS!" Brief gulped as he handed Mr. Lopez the papers. "Oh my, you and Kneesocks gave me the most papers yet. I take it these are your rough drafts?"

"No sir. These are the basic story-lines, the story chart that starts from the prologue, rising action, climax before leading to the resolution, as well as other things such as character sheets, character relationships, the references for our story, and other things." Brief watched as Mr. Lopez began going through the pages, stopping on one page every now and then to read before moving on. By the time he stopped, Mr. Lopez handed him back the papers and began rummaging through his pocket before placing something on top of it. When he moved his hands, Brief saw that it was a condom. "What the-"

"Next time, leave the page that has your date plans out of the stack Mr. Rock. Have fun you two." Brief was blushing bright red at Mr. Lopez's words as he hurried to the table.

"Is something the matter Brief? You could pass as a relative with that shade of red." Kneesocks asked as he sat down with the condom in his pocket.

"The teacher gave us so much praise it made me blush." he lied, hoping that no one would of noticed him getting a condom. Kneesocks nodded and took back her half of the assignment.

"Mr. Lopez," the principal asked through the speakers. "Can you send Stocking and Brief out for the moment? There is a ghost that they must take care of." Brief felt himself being flung out of his chair and thrown out the classroom door.

"WE'LL BE LEAVING RIGHT AWAY SIR!" Stocking shouted. Before he could stand up properly, Stocking grabbed his hand once again and ran down the hall with him.

'What did I do to deserve this?'

-Scene Break-

"Brief, what can you tell me about the enemy?" Brief looked through his binoculars from the cliff. Below them was a ghost that was three times their size and was on fours. Its mouth had a large pair of pincers that were shaped like chainsaws, a small stinger on its backside, and had gem like eyes. For the moment, it was chewing on some random trees that were too close to a park that was used by the surrounding elementary schools, daycare centers, and the occasional random couple.

"From what I can tell, this ghost relies on its pincers to break down things so it can chew and digest things easier. It has six legs altogether and that stinger is simply too small for it to cause much harm. If I had to bet on it, I'd say this ghost was a lumberjack with two chainsaws who got swarmed by multiple insects and died by his own chainsaws." Stocking started to laugh at him as he watched it spit up some roots.

"That's such a memorable way to leave the world though. So how should I go about killing it?" Brief looked at her, the image of her in a bra popped back into his mind before he looked back at the ghost. THAT image from the car was still stuck in his head whenever she was around him.

'I can't believe her tits are so big! They were so round and, stop it! You're with Kneesocks dammit!' he thought as he looked at the ghost once more. "Well, you could try getting on top of its head and stab it in the eyes. You should be stabbing into its 'brain' and that should kill it. If not, then you'll be causing it tons of pain. You could try to cut off its legs before trying this, that way it can't throw you off as easily." Brief suddenly saw Stocking sliding down the cliff with the lid of a trashcan. By the time she got on the ground, the ghost noticed her and began to meet her head on. "STOCKING!" Said angel at this time already had both katanas out and flipped off of the lid and stabbed the ghost in its right eye. The thing screamed as she ran along its back, letting her blades cut through it, and swung them at the stinger. Much to his surprise, the blades couldn't cut through the stinger, giving the ghost enough time to force her off.

"Ugh, this bug needs to get exterminated!" Stocking shouted as the ghost jumped into the air and extended its stinger.

'Dam, it's so big and thick...' Brief thought as it tried thrusting it towards Stocking.

"Ewww! Get your junk away from me ya creep!" the ghost landed on its back due to the failed attack, giving Stocking enough time to run on top of its underbelly and stab it as much as she could. Right as she stabbed it through the jaw, it seemed to freeze in place and turned to stone before it started to crack.

"Stocking, get off of it now!" Stocking complied with him, letting him watch as the ghost turned into an explosion, leaving nothing but dust and four heaven coins. "Yatta! You did it Stocking! You defeated the ant ghost!" Brief slowly walked down the cliff, hoping to not fall and hurt himself. However, one abnormally shaped rock caused him to loose his balance and roll downwards. 'This is gonna hurt!' he thought as he felt himself land on something soft. 'Oh man, please don't tell me...' Brief looked up to see that his head was right in the middle of Stocking's breasts. "S-Stocki-ing, I'm sorry. I-I didn't-" Brief didn't expect for his head to suddenly be pressed into her breasts, leaving him little to no room to breath.

"If you were so curious about them Geek Boy, then you could of just asked me." Stocking giggled as she pushed him off and helped him up. Right as he stood up, he placed his hands on her breasts and rested her head on his shoulder. "I would let you do this, and oh so much more..." Brief could feel little rock starting to harden; but, Stocking pulled away and whistled, causing See-Through to land a few feet away from them. "Now lets go get us some victory dessert!" Stocking giggled as she walked away from him, swaying her hips in a hypnotic fashion. Brief shook his head before he simply nodded to himself and rushed to the passenger seat to buckled in. He knew how crazy Stocking's driving style could be if the main goal is to get a snack.

'I wonder if Stocking action back there was caused due to her need for sweets?' Brief sighed as he watched the world pass by them as she drove. He didn't know if how she ate more sweets than usual was a good thing or a bad thing.

"So how is your story coming along Brief? Mr. Lopez seemed very pleased with what you had."

"Mr. Lopez gave the story some high points with very little to fix on it. He said he couldn't wait to read the finished project." 'There's no need for her to know about the condom bit. I don't think I could live with the teasing she would give me.'

"But I could of sworn he gave you something." Stocking's sentence put him on full alert. He didn't need for anyone to assume that he was fooling around with Kneesocks.

'Her father would kill me! No, he would torture me until I begged for death, let me rest, and then kill me!' "Oh that! He gave me a small part to my PKE meter I left in class yesterday. It was the reason why my PKE meter couldn't suck up as many ghosts as it usually does."

"Ah, that's why that one ghost was able to hump your face. That was a riot!" Stocking began to laugh as he blushed. THAT was something he wished to erase from his mind. It reminded him of a zombie from one of the zombie games Scanty loved to play. Who would of thought Scanty was a video game expert. "And we're here! HEAVEN"S DELIGHT!"

'Didn't I promise myself that I was gonna be the one taking her here and not the other way around?' Brief thought as they pulled into the busy building. The building in general just had this holy feel to it that made you relax as you waited in line. It was most likely some type of mechanical device doing that; but, he had no reason to complain. Brief opened the store's door for Stocking, who happily thanked him as they went over the selection of desserts. Brief was happy with a slice of strawberry shortcake, a muffin, and a few cookies with a glass of french vanilla coffee. Stocking, on the other hand, couldn't help but to get several cups of Jean-Paul Heaven's pudding, some Belgian chocolate fondant, jelly beans, and some tea.

"Oh my, this pudding is so delicious! Mmmm..." Stocking let out a soft moan as she bit into another scoop of pudding. Brief smiled at her antics before focusing on his own sweet tooth and ate the cookies he picked. "So anything you wanna do after this Brief?"

"Well I can't do much. I still need to head back to school and meet up with Kneesocks."

"Project work I take it?" Stocking asked before taking a sip of her tea. Brief nodded as he swallowed his peanut butter cookie.

"We agreed that we're ready to start writing our story; but, we're not sure on who's going to write each chapter."

"Chapter?"

"Yea. The chapters," Brief took a sip of his coffee, smiling at the creamy taste that dove into his stomach, "will be written in a different perspective each chapter. The first chapter will be our main character; but, we're not sure as to who's gonna write the first chapter. Once we pick who, that's going to be the order unless it's an emergency." Stocking nodded to him before taking another sip of her tea.

"So are you going to write it?"

"Most likely, though it's mainly due to me being more in tune with the role. It would be awkward for a girl to write from a boy's perspective ya know?" Brief watched as the sweet loving Anarchy girl giggled and took several more bites of her pudding, inspiring him to finish his shortcake.

"I don't know Geek Boy. That gives a woman the opportunity to explore how a man feels. Plus, if I could control a man's body for a day, I'd be having so much fun." Brief didn't know what to say to that. So, he simply nodded and drank some more coffee. "Then again, I get to tease all the guys with my tits or skirt, so I guess I know a thing or two if you or Kneesocks ever needs a hand writing it."

"Thanks Stocking, I'll keep that in mind." Stocking gave him a bright smile as she took several more bites of her pudding. Some of the pudding landing on her cleavage, making her release a soft moan as he went to hand her a napkin.

"Don't worry. I got this." Stocking lowered her collar until her bra was in full view, and used her free arm to lift her breasts up. She moved her head low enough to lick off the pudding, swirling her tongue to get it all into her mouth. By the time she was done licking the pudding off, Brief had a hard-on and was awkwardly trying to look away from the sight of her breasts. When she pushed her breasts back into her shirt, the saliva that covered her tits darkened her shirt, though he noticed there was a bit of pudding on her cheek. Before he could even mention this, Stocking ran her finger against it, getting all of the pudding on that finger and began to slide it into her mouth. All in all, it looked as if someone came on her shirt and she was sucking on some in front of him.

'Come on Brief! AH, not on her ya dumbass! Think of horrible things to get you soft, like your grandmother, or Corset torturing you the first time you bet him. No, those leather pants had to of been the worst of it all!' Stocking looked at him with a blush before she excused herself and walked to the bathroom. That was the miracle he needed for him to get little rock to cool down and go back to sleep. Brief finished his desserts and looked at his watch. 'It's already that time already! I gotta get Stocking to drop me off at the mayor's office after this!'

"Excuse me," Brief turned around to see a waiter in a fancy suit, "you came in with that, ahem, Gothic girl, correct?"

"Yes, I came in here with Stocking. What of it?" Brief didn't like how the waiter said Gothic; but, the waiter simply bent down to his head and sighed, making Brief shiver at the air going through his ear.

"Normally we don't allow this; however, this is a dire need. Your friend is crying, and won't come out of the bathroom. We've sent our own waitresses in there, as well as a few of our more handsome men; but, she simply rejects them and forces them out. We were wondering if you could go in there and talk some sense to her. If you succeed, your meal is free." Brief rushed to the girl's bathroom and took a breath of air before walking in.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"S-Stocking, it's just m-me." Brief heard a small gasp of air as he walked closer to one of the stalls. He heard a small click, which made him think that she just locked the door. 'It's been years since I've had to slide under the stalls. I don't think I would be able to it.' A small squeak of a noise told him differently, as the door slightly opened. Not wanting to rush into that stall, he slowly opened it and saw Stocking facing the toilet. "What is the matter Stocking?"

"Don't come any closer Geek Boy..." Brief took two steps, making her turn her head and glare at him. "I said don't come any closer!" she shouted, causing him to shiver as he leaned down and trapped her in his arms. At first, she squirmed in his grasp and tried to escape it; but, she turned to his chest and began to cry, clinging to him. "Everything around me is falling apart! The love of my life was taken from me, my sister is in a fucking coma due to her own actions, and I-I'm questioning myself now..." Brief, not knowing what to say in this situation, ran his left hand through her hair. It was quite soft to his touch, which seemed to make her snuggle more into him.

"Panty will pull through this. You know that all she craves is sex and spicy stuff. She can't get that good stuff in that coma of hers." Stocking began to chuckle, making him think he's getting her in better spirits; however, this was washed away when she punched the wall next to them.

"I hate it! I hate it! I fucking hate it all, including her!" Stocking pulled her head away from his chest and glared at him with glossy eyes. "She ALWAYS gets her fucking way! I'm killing the ghosts most of the time as she fucking fools around with the guys, talking to someone on the phone, or even simply doing nothing at all! The school's filled with nothing but jerks and perverts, this town is fucking BEYOND REDEMPTION! All I want to do is finish killing these ghosts and return to heaven. At least there I will be out of this horrible place!" Pain coursed through his entire body; but, it wasn't a physical one. No, it was something that he hadn't felt ever since his father did what he did back then. Brief slowly let go of Stocking and stood up, taking a look at her before turning to the door.

"Does this mean you hate me too?" Brief didn't wait for her reply, he simply couldn't hold it in any longer. "I don't blame you ya know. Everyone fucking hates me. My father for not turning out like him, the people in our school for being a nerd and an occult fanatic, the people in Daten City sneer or try to do other things to me as I walk through here, and I'm sure Scanty, Kneesocks, and their father hate me as well, despite how they've treated me so far...

"Brief..."

"If you hate me as well, I don't blame you. I was the one who kept on getting in your and Panty's way during your ghost hunts, who ended up letting some ghosts go instead of holding them off, and I kept on annoying you two all the time. I couldn't help it though, you were the only friends I had in such a long time. I bet in heaven you had a lot of friends for your innocent nature and your beliefs; but, I was despised and hated for my beliefs!" Brief could feel it coming up, the main reason she hated him. Neither of them could ignore it, so why should he hold it in? "It's also my fault for Panty being in her coma... If I was simply faster, or even jumped out of the window to grab her... I can understand as to why you would hate me. I fucking hate myself at times!" He opened the door and walked towards the main door, wanting to leave the bathroom and just disappear. The next thing he knew, he was forced to the ground and saw Stocking on top of him, tears falling from her cheeks.

"How DARE you say that I hate you Briefers Rock!" Stocking punched his chest, making his gasp for air. "Out of everyone in this horrid town, you've been the only one who was truly there for us whenever we needed someone! You made us laugh, you made us smile, you brightened the mood when at other times you darkened it, and so much more!" She continued to hit his chest, making him a bit sore until she simply pressed both hands on it. "Out of everyone here, you're the one person who is my true friend Brief. My one, true friend who I could never hate... What is it that drives you to Panty Brief?"

"Huh?" Brief was surprised by the sudden change of topic, let alone what she really meant.

"I fucking hate her Brief, yet you live her. What do you see that I don't?" Brief took a gulp of fear down his throat before looking at her.

"She's driven to her goals, is strong with her beliefs and morals, she's beautiful, and was the first person to actually notice me, next to you of course."

"She's a slut Brief! A fucking slutty whore of an angel that's a disgrace to us all. I can't stand her!"

"Stocking... If this is such a problem with you, then why don't you simply talk it out with her?" Stocking gave him a glare, though it seemed more curious than mad. "You hate how easy she is allowed to do this while you do the work huh? Well, you should simply talk to her once she's out of this coma, or even punish her for it. I don't know what to say Stocking, take away what she loves most, break her stuff, blackmail her, do anything that you believe is right in order to prove your point to her; but, explain it to her as you're doing this or else she won't understand your motive at all." The two were silent for a while, simply gazing into the other's eyes and sighed.

"She took the one guy I loved away from me though. If she didn't pop up and forced him to do what he did, then he would still be here." Brief's eyes widened at that. Panty had a hand in killing Stocking's boyfriend? It wasn't secret that Stocking dated a ghost last Christmas, it was even welcomed by the two groups that wanted to coexist with one another. Stocking stood up and gave him a hand up, making him smile as he stretched. "I could never hate you Brief. You haven't done a single thing against me. All you've been is a gentlemen, a kind, loyal person, and so much more." Stocking pulled out a napkin and wiped off her mascara. Even without her makeup, Stocking was still beautiful, if not more so in his eyes. Once she was done, she smiled at him and opened the door, letting Brief see the waiter that stood behind it. The two left the bathroom and quickly left the bakery, making both of them chuckle a little at the experience. Once they got into See-Through, Stocking turned and smiled at him. "So you want me to drop you off at school?"

"Na, I'll call Kneesocks at your place and she can pick me up there." Stocking merely nodded before they took off, leaving Brief to think back to everything that had happened.

-Scene Break-

"Thank you for spoiling me Brief. I haven't felt like this since I was a kid!" Kneesocks giggled as she clung to his neck, making him chuckle as he held multiple bags and boxes in his hands.

'Note to self, never offer to buy everything!' he thought as they finally made it to the hummer, which was hard to spot due to how dark it was outside. 'I can't believe we had to pick up a few orders for Corset though, that was messed up.' Brief placed their stuff in the trunk before closing it and getting in the passenger seat. "Still can't believe you like Vocaloid music. I'm not saying it's bad; but, it's quite surprising." Kneesocks blushed as she began driving.

"What can I say? Their voices are quite soothing, and Kaito is sexy with those girlish hips of his. Besides, what about you Mr. Touhoumon master, the ruler of all things Touhou?" Brief chuckled as he pulled out a Cirno plushie from his bag.

"Touhou is just awesome in general. All of their music, the official bullet shooters, the fan-games, fighting games, and thier plusies. In a way I'm like my favorite, Cirno, since I will be the best!" Kneesocks began to laugh, causing him to laugh as well at the hilarity of the situation.

"Maybe we can go to one of those events you talked about in class and dress as them?"

"You mean go to a convention and cosplay?"

"Yea, that's it. I bet I could make a killer Hatsune Miku."

"You certainly have the breast size for it." Brief muttered, though this earned him a light slap to the face.

"I don't know if I should be honored that you've looked at my breasts before, or insulted for comparing them to a 2-Dimensional girl."

"Oi! We're not getting into another I Otaku, Struggle in Akihabara conversation you two!" Scanty and Stocking shouted from the back seats, causing Brief and Kneesocks to chuckle at each other.

Originally, the date was to be just him and Kneesocks; but, Scanty pleaded with Kneesocks to come with while he was with Stocking. When Kneesocks came to pick him up, Scanty wanted to have a friend come along, which meant that Stocking was brought along. Considering what had happened earlier, as well as how close they were, he wasn't sure if it would be a good idea for them to come with. Despite this feeling, they all had fun at the mall doing various things, such as watching Stocking and Scanty tease the boys around them by groping each other.

"Thanks again for buying me that guillotine kit Brief! My science project will be an A+ thanks to you!" Scanty called from the back seat, making him chuckle again.

"Still can't believe you bought her that thing. Can't you imagine all of the stuffed animals and fruits she's going to experiment on? We'll be having fruit salad for weeks!" Kneesocks playfully hissed, causing him to chuckle and smile.

"Then I shouldn't of bought you that chemical kit then, or that book on how to torture your opponent physically and mentally?" Kneesocks chuckled in a guilty manner, causing him to laugh. "I'm kidding Kneesocks, no need to feel guilty about it."

"Yea, Brief here was happy to spend his money on making us all happy!" Stocking shouted with a bright smile as she bit into another candy bar.

"Still can't believe all of that fat and sugary stuff goes to your breasts."

"Well they do, unless you want to feel them for yourself?"

"Ohohoh-ho, if that's the case, then I would have to examine your entire body to see if it's just your breasts that have fat Stocking."

"Rruuurruuu~ Scanty, remember what happened the last time you did something like that?"

"Yea yea, it was only a pair of panties and boxers that were left in here!"

"That were soaking with sweat and cum sister. Father had both of our asses sore for months after that spanking with his favorite paddle!" Brief erupted in chuckles at the last bit.

"You two get spanked? My father just grounds me or makes me fend for myself with dinner for a month."

"Garterbelt does hit me, though I get too much pleasure from it for it to be effective." Brief, as well as the others, couldn't help but to look at Stocking as she blushed. "What? I'm into bondage, kill me."

"How about I strip you on my bed, tie you up to the bed-posts, and have my way with you?"

"Well, I HAVE been meaning to see how the taste of another woman was lately."

"Lalalalala, I can't hear you two!" Brief and Kneesocks shouted, causing both girls in the back to laugh. Due to how long they took at the mall, they couldn't go see the movie they wanted. So, they decided to go back to the Akuma sister's house and watch a movie on thier plasma screen HDTV.

'You just gotta take advantage of a situation.' he thought as they pulled into the parking lot. There were already people waiting for them, making him slightly confused.

"Don't worry about them," Kneesocks said as she pulled the keys out, "they're here to take the things Scanty and I got to our rooms." By the time they got up to their house, Corset was standing in front of the house. "Is there something wrong father?"

"Girls," Corset took a few steps and looked at them, "I have to go out of the country for several meetings. I should be back in about two weeks or so; but, I'll call if I'm delayed. And no, I don't mind if they spend the night tonight or any day as long as you clean the house, keep the fridge stocked, and do all of your chores. Oh yes, you must feed my pets. If you don't, consider your asses grazed." Both Akumas jumped on Corset and thanked them before dragging the two into the house. The last thing Brief saw outside was Corset's smirking face as he jumped onto one of those drop ladders helicoptors used before the door was slammed. He turned to see Scanty, Stocking, and Kneesocks smiling at each other as all of their stuff was now in the living room. How the hell it got up here before they did was something he would, and probably couldn't understand.

"It's time to set up our slumber party girls! Stocking, you and Brief go wait in my room as Kneesocks and I get this living room set up for all the FUN we're gonna have tonight!"

Why did Brief feel as if he just walked into a new torture session?

-Author's Note-

Slumber Party people! I'm sorry for the lack of update; but, my writing inspiration took a plunge as to how I was going to write this chapter out. You wouldn't believe how many fortune cookies, magic 8-balls, and other lucky things I went to in order to grant me ideas for this chapter. Hell, I figured this chapter should of been more focused on Kneesocks/Brief; but, the idea of Stocking/Brief stuck to me.

Any-who, this chapter is mainly as it seems, a bit of comfort for Stocking and Brief, letting Mr. Lopez give Brief a 'blessing' for a big moment, and you get a bit of foreshadowing if you can catch it. If not, then my work here is done. And yes, I'm also a Touhou fan. Who knows, I might just try out a Touhou/Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt cross some day. At least there Reimu will get more donations that she ever did at the shrine...

As usual, I don't own Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, and all that rather pointless information. Review and ask questions people!

Ja'ne!
