If I could rearrange the alphabet… ten of twenty-six;
Jay; and the rumors went a-flying.

Some found her too much of a gossip, but she didn't mind.
She thrived on local scandals, and reveled in the undivided attention she got when she was the one who brought the news.
Besides, Kurimi Naoko was damn good at her self-proclaimed calling.
Who had overhead Seiyo's oldest couple breaking up? And all the filthy details (he wanted sex, she didn't, he cheated on her with her best friend)? That's right, her.
Who had been the first that knew about the hot transfer student from England? That's right, her.
Who had seen said transfer student try and harass middle school girls at night, while he seemed like such a charming prince on the surface? That's right, her.
She had a gift, really. The uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time, matched with excellent hearing and sight, not to mention her interrogation skills, allowed her to find out every little detail that went around in school.
These abilities were only honed over the years and now, at fifteen, she was what could be called a pro.
Don't misunderstand, she didn't want to boast, but it was true; ask anyone!
Also, she was quite proud to say that her field of expertise was love.
In every movement she could see affection, in every touch and fleeting look, no matter how minute, attraction. Was it a crush, one-sided, reciprocated, secretly dating, in love? Naoko would find out in a heartbeat.
Never ever did she forget to mention that her love for other people's love had nothing to do with the inability to get a boyfriend herself, of course. She was just waiting for the right person, and killing time until then.
Because she had made sniffing out fresh couples out her hobby, Naoko was currently stealing around the courtyard, humming sneakily to herself.
That's where she saw them.
Fujisaki Nagihiko and Hinamori Amu.
Two of few people she had never found any serious dirt on.
(though there was still that rumor flying around that he had killed his twin sister and taken her place here at Seiyo, but that remained unconfirmed.)
She squinted, getting a better view of the two.
The joker and the jack, huh?
They way they were talking looked pretty intense, and suddenly, he leaned in, and she saw the pinkhaired girl blush profusely and swat him lightly.
They looked.. dare she say it.. like a couple! Of course! Fujisaki Nagihiko and Hinamori Amu were going out! How could she not have noticed before? Her specialty was love, after all, it couldn't not be true!
Naoko covered her face with her hands to muffle a squeal as she scurried away.
She just couldn't wait till the others heard of this!

a/n haha, silly humors. They amuse me (:
This is very un-Amuhiko-fluff-ish, I know. I aim to better myself in the future. At least it mentions them as a couple? (and Naoko is always right what regards love, so it must be true!)
Naoko means 'honest child', which I thought was pretty fitting. She's so honest, she can't keep anything to herself!
Also, I'm not sure if it's used anymore, but a 'jay' is a chatterbox, which I connect to 'gossip'. I found it in my English/dutch dictionary, so it exists, but I hadn't heard of it before..
I apologize for last chapter, which, I agree, pretty much sucked, with a faster-than-ever update. (don't expect this from the next chapter though)
Also, I edited the first chapter of Let Your Heart Speak! It is now (I hope) typo-less, better, and officially an Amuhiko story (: check it out ;)
Thanks so much for reviewing, Mizumi-cham (and here's another one! :D what is Xenith? What I get on google is pretty weird XD), Kyeru (*showers with cookies* don't worry, everyone's got a bad day sometimes! Just take it easy for a bit and you'll be back in no time ;) Okay, so it wasn't Joker in the end, haha. This one's a bit longer (; ), Kayuki Fujisaki (yeah, I wanted to write it in Nagi-POV but then it ended like this T_T sorry. I'm pretty bothered by your icon by the way. Tiny, it looks like the most awesome Amuhiko pic, but when I go to your profile, it's this lilahaired girl O_O), NadeshikoEverdeenHimeSama (YES! SOMEONE WHO LIKES! XD *huggles* Haha, thought I forgot you? ;D NO! and NO! But those would've been so great! *kicks herself* when you reviewed, half of this chapter was already finished D: -really, I've been writing allll day yesterday, so at least for the last part of this story, there won't be a long wait cause they're already done~ except for X then.), Calm and Crazy (oh, nice! I'll think about that, thanks :D) and ..- (SOMEONE ELSE WHO LIKES *hugs* haha, those are actually things he really said XD like I said, this was a rewrite-ish thing of epi 25 ;D)!!
Next chapter; K stands for... ? somerandomthingi'llthinkofsometime.
I believe R&R doesn't stand for Read&Run, but for Read&Review!
So don't R&R, but R&R ! (:
