Wow you guys are back? I'm so happy! *hands out Pie* this time I'm sure Kazemaru didn't make it because I didn't steal if from his kitchen this time. :3 So no one turns random colors. :3 (if two of you readers remember out little chat about stealing his cookies)

Oh and Angelwing my Avi Pic has a short haired Kazemaru if you would like to take a look. ^^

I ran down the stairs and opened the door happy to finally escape boredom.

"H-hi." stuttered Kazemaru who could not keep eye contact with me.

"Hi." I replied coolly.

"I hope it isn't too late to take you up on your offer to um… hang around." He mumbled softly.

"No it's not." I said in my usual tone.

Ichi-chan's POV

"Okay." I replied feeling happiness over take me.

"Want to come in for a bit?" he asked in his usual cool voice he always had.

"S-sure." I stuttered almost tripping over my own feet.

He looked at me with and almost unchanged expression.

His eyes show a glint of worry.

"S-silly me… I'm fine." I muttered feeling the need to explain my self.

He nodded solemnly as he closed the door.

We stood at the door way awkwardly as I wondered what he could be thinking about and how stupid I felt.

Tobi's POV

Wow he's here…he's really here. I'm so happy… I wonder what he'd like to do…ah he looks so cute when he acts so shy. I want to hug him. His hair is still short. Well it wouldn't grow long over night so I'm sure it'll be short for awhile now. Though it would be nice if it was long again…

Then my thoughts when to dream Kazemaru.

Long hair… why is his long? … is it because I prefer Kazemaru with long hair? And why does he act…so…seductive…and

"T-tobitaka um… what would you like to do?" Kazemaru mumbled lightly as he pulled me from my thoughts and fiddles with his index fingers.

"How about a card game?" I asked with a causal smile.

"What kind?" He questioned tilling his head only millimeters from where it had been.

He's even cute when he's curious. How can some one be so cute…so beautiful…so wonderful… I just want to take him away from the world and keep him for myself.

I suddenly felt as though a death glare was pointed at me…but the only person around was me and Kazemaru who was looking innocently at me with curiosity.

Maybe I shouldn't shelter him from the world…there would be people who would miss him.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Oh some one is here." Kazemaru said as I realized we were still at the door.

I opened the door to see, to my surprise, Endou.

"Hi Tobitaka! I thought I might come by and visit. I was thinking it would be really cool to get every one together again some time… Oh Hi Kazemaru!" Endou greeted, commented, and greeted again as he waved and Smiled brightly.

I spent a second to wonder if there was something wrong with this overly peppy and happy kid. Though I didn't hate him…it just made me wonder how some one could be so happy all the time.

"H-hi Endou." Kazemaru greeted back seemingly shyly.

Shy…why does he seemingly act so shy? Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Wait…is he turning pink? Why is he blushing?

My heart sank as I feared that the one I loved may have a crush on the boy who stood at my door.

"May I come in?" Endou asked enthusiastically.

"Of course." I said trying not to let my emotions show.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no! please don't let that be true. Please.

"What are you guys up to?" Endou asked making conversation.

"W-we were just going to play a card game." Kazemaru answered seeming more chipper then what I had seen in the past few days.

"What card game?" Endou questioned with a bright smile.

"Haven't decided." I answered not showing my dismay.

"Oh I have an idea!" Endou announced happily.

"What is it?" I asked wishing I hadn't.

"Why don't we go to the river side and play soccer?" Endou suggested.

"…If Kazemaru doesn't have a problem with it." I said as coolly as I could.

"I don't." He replies with a now red blush.

"Okay! Lets go!" Endou beamed happily running out the door.

Kazemaru with a smile I have never seen followed him out the door.

Me… I had nothing better to do so I followed them. After all I agreed to it.

We (as in me and about two others) would know who is glaring… Mai has to protect her precious cherry. *nods* Just as I (and Sakuma) have to Protect our precious (and adorable) Pepe-chan!

Oh and is it just me or am I the only one who thinks of Yu-gi-oh every time I read/type card game?
