APOV

The weeks passed by quickly, a little too quickly. Before I knew it a month and a half was gone. Christmas would be soon, a holiday I always loved. It was scary how close I'd become with Sparky, Little Miss Sunshine, the God and even Princey. I never thought I'd make friends like that. Soon I'd grant Satomi's wish and invite them over for dinner.

Going over to Shigure's after school became the routine even if I didn't need that much help with my work anymore. My grades had gone up and I was surprised how good I'd been acting. I'd even quit smoking! I hadn't heard from Hibiki in ages and I'd like to keep it that way.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I swore as I continued to grab all the random things around my room that I would need for the day. My phone, stray books, make up, IPod. Damn it, I was running late.

"Bye!" I called back into the house before I slammed the door behind me and took off down the foot path. With enough luck I'd make it just in time.

And make it I did. With two minutes to spare. I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself. Like I was saying I'd changed. Yet I still had a long way to go before I was back to being me even though I didn't even know who I was anymore. Oh well, the mysteries of life eh?

"You're cutting it close Shortie." Sparky mocked as I passed his desk.

"Shut it Sparky before I sit on you." I retorted, dropping my bag onto my desk and watched as Sparky turned around to face me. I notice Little Miss Sunshine was talking to Princey.

"You always say that yet you never follow through. I think it's an empty threat." He smirked leaning back on the two legs of the chair.

"If you lean back to far you're gonna fall." I told him in a motherly voice.

"No I…"

Crash.

"I told you." I mocked in a sing song voice.

"Shut it Shortie." He snapped, picking himself up off the ground as the students around him laughed at his stupidity. Oh Sparky you offer me such amusement.

So yeah, I still didn't know how to deal with the whole love thing. The flip flops my stomach did still happened everyone now and then at unexpected times yet I could act normal around him. And it was so clear that he was in love with Little Miss Sunshine. What was a hormonal sixteen year old girl to do?

The bell for classes to begin rang before I could get my comeback in. Damn that annoying bell. I didn't get why school had to start so early any way. Or why it had to go on for so long. It felt like I spent the better part of my life stuck indoors with teachers shouting numbers and letters at me as if the world was about to end. Why we had to learn how to find x was beyond me. Honestly it only seemed useful if you were a pirate.

"Yo Shortie! Earth to Shortie!" Sparky's hand flew across my vision repeatedly.

"What?" I hissed, catching his hand with my incredible reflexes. Yeah ok, it was a fluke.

"School's over so unless you want to stay here by yourself hurry your little ass up."

"Stop making fun of my height." I growled and swung my bag violently over my shoulder. As most of you know by now annoying Sparky plus lack of caffeine equals one pissed off Aimi.

By the time we were out on the foot path the others were ahead of us. I, being the lazy person that I am, just hung back. And Sparky being the weird person that he is strolled along beside me, his hands buried in his pockets.

"You've gotten skinnier." He suddenly blurted out causing us both to blush. What. The. Hell?

"Didn't know you were stalking me Sparky. That's sort of creepy don't you think?" I giggled, trying to brush off his comment.

"I'm being serious. You've gotten really thin. Are you sick?" he asked. Ok that just made me mad.

"Just because a girl loses a few pounds does not mean she's sick. Jesus Sparky!" I growled, my gaze cold as I stared at him.

"It's not just a few pounds Shortie. You've gone from being all curvy to bony in under a month. And you're not eating as much as you used to. So either sort it out or I'm going to tell Tohru." He threatened. Ok, I know it didn't seem that much of a threat but Little Miss Sunshine would beg and cry like there was no tomorrow if she found out I wasn't eating properly.

"Ok." I agreed, my gaze falling onto the cement. "Fine, juts don't tell her ok?"

"Fine." He smirked, knowing that he had just won at least one of our mini battles. But the war wasn't over yet!

Somehow it felt nice to know that Sparky took such notice of me. But he was right. I had lost more than a few pounds. And I planned on keeping my end of the promise slash blackmail. I was just going to do it sensibly and put back on the weight eventually. Eventually being the key word in that sentence.

Entering the woods caused my heart beat to increase just that little bit. Damn, I never would get over my fear of the dark. It was irrational, I know, but I just couldn't help it or control the fear that had wormed its way into my brain.

By the time I was inside the house Princey was already working hard, his neat script flowing across the dog-ear free copy. Damn him and his perfection. It was beginning to get on my nerves. I took my usual seat across from him and began my own work. I was surprised when Shigure joined us, taking a seat, erm, cushion at the other end of the table. He normally stayed hidden in his study. That was so very weird.

"Hey Shigure." I greeted, batting my eyelashes.

"Hello Aimi." He smiled right back at me. Apparently my flirtations stopped working long ago.

"You've decided to grace us with your presence today." I continued, scribbling down a sum in an almost illegible HB mess.

"Well I can't be cooped up in my stud all day. A writer needs his inspiration." He gazed at me with his chocolate brown eyes over the rims of his silver framed reading glasses.

"And have you found your inspiration yet?" I asked, stretching my hands behind my head and giving Shigure a slight glance of my pale and now washing board flat stomach.

"Oh yes." He smiled. "You've been a great help Aimi. Imagining you in all those different positions has given me such stimulation to write!"

Princey looked fit to kill him as did Sparky who had appeared from behind the sliding door dressed in his cargo pants and tight t-shirt. I smirked at Shigure who seemed to think that I was smiling at him when I was really smiling about what was about to happen.

"Care to help me even further by living out these fascinations of mine?" he smiled, unaware of Sparky and Princey's death gazes.

Smack.

"Damn pervert." Sparky growled while Shigure clutched his aching head.

I giggled and watched as Shigure stood up from the table, his face outraged. He winked at me before throwing his nose into the air and storming into the kitchen.

"Aw poor Shigure." I pouted at Sparky who frowned at me, his thin lips turning down at the corners.

"You really should stop messing with him Shortie." Sparky glared at me, his red gaze tightening.

"It would be in your best interest." Princey advised, glancing up from his book.

"I'm going to get a drink." I said, ignoring both of them.

Now, me being the clumsy idiot I am (and this being your typical Furuba story) in the process of stand up of course I had to fall over my own feet.

My decent to the floor was suddenly interrupted by someone's arm wrapping around my waist. I blinked a few times and there was a small 'poof' before I face planted onto the floor. Owie.

I sat up and glanced behind me but the air was thick with a pink smoke. Yeah I'm not kidding, pink smoke. And that poof had been a real 'Poof!' like they have in cartoons. It was weird, really weird. I glanced at Sparky who was sitting there, his eyes wide.

Eventually the smoke cleared. In a pile on the floor was a bunch of clothes that looked like our uniform. I stared at the small pile as it began to move. Sparky seemed to hold his breath as I leaned forward and lifted up the material.

Beneath the uniform was a small, silver rat. His strange purple eyes glanced up at me. If he wasn't a rat I would have said he looked sheepish. And so I did something that any fascinated sixteen year old girl would do. I poked it.

It seemed to blush at the contact. Seriously, the rat blushed. I stared at it for a minute longer before I came to my conclusion. That rat was pretty damn cute.

"Aw. Look how small it is." I cooed, picking it up and setting it on my palm.

"W-what?" Sparky asked, choking on the air.

"It's so cute!" I continued, staring at its purple eyes.

Its haunting purple eyes. Holy crap.

"Princey?" I whispered, my eyes widening.

Hey guys! So yeah, another odd place to leave it! I'm sorry it's so short but I wanted to leave the next plot point for the next chapter! Thankies so much to all of you!

Thankies and enjoy,

Spread A Little Happiness!
