I decided I wanted to get this last chapter up for the morning… but I might do another chapter at night if I can get online! So… enjoy!

Disclaimer: For the 14th depressing time, I do not own S.A. Cry, sob, break down… all that. Mentally, or I wouldn't have the sense to say I don't own the manga…

Chapter 14: 'N' is for…

Yahiro sat on his couch on Sunday morning, two days after his last letter. For now he stared blankly at the door, remembering a time Megumi had come in asking him t go out with her. Of course, back then he was staring out of the window, not sitting on the couch.

"Master Yahiro? Breakfast is done." Sota walked into the room, without his trademark grin. "It looks great too…" His grumbling stomach reminded him that it was Yahiro's fault he hadn't eaten, and he was delivering Yahiro's breakfast.

"The mail?"

Sota sighed. And there was the source of the problem. Since the canceled Hawaii trip, and Yahiro reading the 'L' letter, Sota had been made Yahiro's personal slave, running errands that basically consisted of making sure he ate and checking the mail. Of course, since it was Sota delivering Megumi's letters, it made his job easier, but Yahiro made his life hell. "I've got the mail here."

For the life of him, Sota just couldn't see what Megumi liked about Yahiro. Yeah, Yahiro had his moments, especially when he was protecting his friends, but Sota much preferred Megumi with her ex at the moment. Sota would do anything for Megumi, but this… was wearing a bit on the nerves.

"Hand it over." Sota obeyed, wishing Megumi and Mitsuru had never broken up and he didn't have to deal with this. He even envied Kenta at the moment, and Kenta's workload was twice as taxing.

"Make sure you eat some food as well," Sota said, fleeing before Yahiro could come up with another task for him. He also didn't want to be in the same room as him when he found Megumi's letter. He'd been watching, and Yahiro's reactions weren't always safe for bystanders.

Yahiro found the letter and tore it open.

Hello Yahiro. I saw you at the destruction derby. Well, through the videos. I couldn't be there unfortunately.

Yahiro frowned. He hadn't seen any cameras there.

One of my friends did me a favor and videotaped it for me so I could watch all those stupid motorcycles get crushed. He caught you on the tape, so I know you were there. You're figuring out some stuff pretty quickly. I'll have to be more careful, won't I?

No, she wouldn't. Yahiro was having a hard enough time finding her already.

Anyways, I watched the tape and seeing all the motorcycles get destroyed… only a seven layer cake with lots of frosting could possibly be better than that.

Yahiro grinned. These letters sent his emotions into a crazy mess, but Megumi made most of them enjoyable. Some weren't so amusing, but… still! Plus, even if she was mad, and that's why she was tormenting him, as soon as Yahiro found her, he'd buy her a cake and be in Megumi's good graces again.

Anyways, this will be another short letter, because I don't really have that much time today. So here it is!

() () () () () () () () () ()

'N' is for notebook. Which really is to be expected seeing as I wrote in a notebook daily.

Which is all of it really. That's the importance of it. I wrote instead of spoke, and when I tried to talk to you, you told me to shut up and write down what I wanted people to know. After you said it was weird. Can you blame me for doing both? Because that seriously confused me.

I still use a notebook by the way. I don't speak to people that often.

So your hint this time is… hmm… I don't want to make this too obvious… Well, just look where I dropped a notebook into a large body of water.

() () () () () () () () () ()

Twelve letters left Yahiro. This one was shorter than I thought it would be…

-Megumi

"A large body of water?" Yahiro frowned in thought until he heard running in the hall.

"Get back here you little brats!" As Yahiro heard Sota yell, two identical boys charged into the room, holding a bunch of papers and a tray of more food. They grinned at Yahiro, both having a mischievous spark in brown eyes.

"Ko! Kohaku! Get out of there!" Sota entered the room after them and tried to grab at them, only to get the tray of food thrown at him.

"Help us!" The boys ran towards Yahiro and hid behind him. Hiding behind Yahiro, only small bits of brown hair peeked out from his sides. The boys couldn't be more than eight years old, so they were much shorter than Yahiro.

"Master Yahiro, I'm sorry about my brothers," Sota apologized. "I don't know what they're doing here. They're supposed to be with my parents. Now you two, get over here!"

Yahiro noticed a brochure in one of the boy's hands. "Hold on. You…"
"I'm Ko!" the boy was beaming at Yahiro.

"Can I see that?"

"Sure!" Yahiro opened the brochure. The view was very familiar… "Planning a vacation Sota?"

"We want to send our parents on a honeymoon after their wedding next month," Sota replied. "They won't go on one unless we plan it."
"I see…" So the boys here were to be Sota's stepbrothers. No matter. That was easy enough to check up on. "Sota, cancel my appointments for the next week. I have a trip to make."
"Another… I am not a secretary! Aargh, fine!" Sota waited until Yahiro was long gone to send his grin at the twins. "Good job guys. Let's tell Megumi about all this, and then I'll get you guys some ice cream."

Yep… short. Again. Megumi doesn't spend a lot of time to write long letters anymore… hmm… that has to be fixed… EVENTUALLY! Long letters will resume soon! Anyways, please review!
