It's been a while, hey. Honestly, I swear I just end up rewriting these chapters, instead of editing, because so much has changed, both within my story and within my head. I guess there's no helping it...

Kay, here's chapter 14, and Chihiro's first spoken lines in canon. Hip hip hooray!

Though it's crazy... It took 14 chapters to officially start. I think if I was to cover the whole of canon, I'd probably get close to 100 chapters. Still, I'll aim big.

Chihiro is worth the effort.


When I looked up at the sky, it was drizzling lightly… It wasn't hard enough to make me cold or wet, but I know the moisture would cause my fringe to fluff up annoyingly.

I didn't seem to be holding my bag, so I couldn't shade myself, but I didn't have to, because the school building was right there, just a few feet away.

My eyes snapped open, and I was looking face to face to a tilted glass of water. I naturally raised my arm to stop my head from getting wet.

"What the hell, Chitose?" I sat up and glared at my brother, who straightened the glass and stepped away. Even still, a few drops did trickle down my face, so I had woken a little late.

"Don't get mad at me, Nee-chan," he smirked, "Okaa-san told me to wake you up, and you didn't respond to my calls." Even though he said that with a really innocent voice, the smile on his face… most likely, he didn't even try waking me up before he brought the water. Besides, I'm not a heavy sleeper, and I only slept at 11 last night. There's no way I wouldn't have woken up without an alarm…

I glanced at my phone and nearly fell out of bed. Because of my stupid non-ringing alarm, I only have five minutes before I had to leave, unless I wanted to be late.

Despite my concern, I still somehow got dressed, and left the house before it was too late, but I could tell that I was running late, because the crowd was pretty small.

"Chihiro-saaaan!" I turned around, and Elsie Katsuragi was behind me, her broom trailing behind her. Hehe… so we're both running late today…

"Morning, Elsie-san," I replied, though that just felt weird on my tongue.

"Good Morning, Chihiro-san," she slowed down when she was in step with me, "did you do the English homework from yesterday?" Oh crap… I didn't do it… Eh, I've never been up to date for school anyways, so I can't say I care much. Still, the look on Kodama's face… Egh, I should try sneaking that in during first period. While I was making plans, I noticed Elsie-san was still talking.

"So Kami-nii-sama went off this morning without waiting for me. He wouldn't even help me with English yesterday, so I know everything is wrong now," she looked like she was nearly in tears, which made me want to curse at Otamega. No one should make a cutie like her cry.

"Trust Otamega to be mean to you, and It's only your first day here. I'd help you myself, but I'm not that good at English," I sighed… At least that excuse is better than telling her I didn't even open our English workbook last night. Still, she was touched by my words, because she gave me a quick hug.

"Thank you for caring, Chihiro-san. Though It's Kami-nii-sama who should help me. I'll ask him at lunch," She went to her seat, and I went to mine, kind of bemused. She really is adorable… I could just take her home… except that sounds too creepy for words. Though why does she call Otamega 'Kami-nii-sama'? He's barely acted like an older brother… why would he need God in his name as well?

Eh I guess it's just one of those things…

When I sat down, Nikaido-sensei came to start first period History… Her words were lulling me to sleep, so I decided to be at least a little productive and do that English homework Elsie-san was telling me about. I propped up my history textbook and pulled out my English book so I could at least try to answer the comprehension we had. Still, the words flew over my head, like it was nonsense... Peesh, school is nonsense... Will I even need to answer an English comprehension in real life?

"So she made a promise to…" I muttered as I wrote.

Suddenly, my own promise from yesterday came back to me. I had to get Otamega's email address for Chitose… Ugh, why did I promise that?

I contemplated how to ask that for a few minutes, when I felt someone touch my arm. Elsie-san was holding a folded note and pointing at her annoying brother. I looked at it for a moment, wondering what any girl in the world would possibly have to say to that hopeless dweeb, even if she is his sister.

"Kosaka, continue reading," Nikaido-sensei called. I had no cooking clue what line, or even what page, I had to read from, so I did the next best thing. I slipped open the note and stood up.

"To my dear brother and Divine One," I peeked at Otamega, who had been leaning on one arm, when he nearly slipped. I knew this was totally mean, but it was still a bit funny. The rest of the class started looking at me as well, so I continued.

"I, Elsie, am so happy we can live together now," I kind of rolled my eyes at that… Who would want to live with Otamega? I wasn't really sure what I expected from that letter, but it's more boring than I expected. Well, there is a bit more…

"On that note, can we talk during lunch today? P.S. Please forget about what happened in the bath. It was embarrassing."

I smiled inwardly… Just the gold I was looking for. By this point, Otamega was so embarrassed that I swear he was trying to be absorbed into his desk. Elsie-san wasn't much better either.

"Why are you reading it out loud?" Elsie squeaked out from under her desk. I felt a twinge of remorse for scaring her like that, but my amusement topped it all.

"Why not? You wanted him to know, didn't you?" I looked over at Otamega, who had his head on his desk. He was so disturbed he wasn't even pressing his PFP buttons anymore. An even more evil question flitted to my brain.

"So what happened in the bath?" I smirked.

The boys in the class repeated the question over and over again, with their heads forming a pyramid. How they did that so quickly and perfectly in synch, I guess I'll never know. Probably the perverted parts in their brain are calling to each other.

I nearly snickered as I imagined these little perverted monsters in their brains standing up to attention and screaming through microphones.

Nakaido-sensei plucked out the note from my hands.

"Everyone, sit down. Kosaka, that's a detention for you after school for invading other student's privacy and not paying attention, and Katsuragi-imouto, you have to do lines at break for writing notes in class. And if I see anyone mentioning that letter again, I will shove it down your throat."

Just from being in her class for a month, no one doubted her… She's really scary when she's mad.

Still, at lunch, the topic of the letter came up anyway. I was sitting with Ayumi and Miyako, when Ayumi brought it up.

"So do you care what happened with Katsuragi in the bath?" Ayumi casually sipped her juice box. I nearly choked on my Yakisoba bread.

"D-does it really matter?" I swallowed down some juice, and Miyako hit my back to stop me from choking.

"You tell me… You're the one who asked, after all?" she smiled cheekily.

"Eeh, I thought it would be funny to ask. I wasn't curious or anything…" I half-lied… Truth is, I was kind of wondering. No one ever has anything to say to him, is all… I pulled up my juice box, and realized it was empty. Had I really drank all that? I was still thirsty, so I got up.

"Yeah, I'm going to get some more juice. I'll be back," the two of them shrugged, so I left. I met Mappy-chan outside the juice machine, incidentally.

"Nee, Chiho-chan…"

"What's up?"

"I was wondering…" I held my breath… hoping if this wasn't another comment about the letter. So I was curious… Big deal…

"Are you planning on confessing to Shinji-kun?" I felt both relieved, yet I knew that this could quite easily become another awkward conversation.

"Umm… I probably won't… I doubt he likes me anyway, so I don't want to embarrass myself," she seemed a bit disappointed in my answer.

"Can I maybe come with you next time you go watch their practice? I think he might like you back, so I'll just try to confirm then."

"Why not? And if you get bored, there are other cute guys to watch."

So we made that plan… Still, not today… Today, I have detention… And I still didn't get Otamega's email address…

For the rest of the day, minus the few conversations I had, I was pretty bored… I wonder if my life has always felt this boring…


So I guess it's really over now... After 268 chapters, we finally reached the happy ending.

I was definitely satisfied with this ending, for obvious reasons, but my heart still goes out to Tenri and all her fans. I don't really want her to have another shot with Keima, but I hope she finds her happiness. She deserves that much at least.

Though if anyone wants to discuss the new chapter, or anything else TWGOK related, feel free to send me a P.M. I'll definitely answer.
