Wow, I had you all upset didn't I? Lmao, you all fell for it, na na na na naaaa na!
Sorry, I'm quite immature, but happy. I wrote 9 chapters for this story, YESTERDAY! in just 24 hours! omg, how good is that?
And now, I got a shoutout, to a miss KittyCat. x from her friend Dale! This chapter is now officially for her, because she is made of pure awesomeness, and is funny, and random, and a goor friend, who also happens to love Takashi... shame he belongs to Saori. I feel the same way as you hun, a figament of my imagination stole Takashi Morinozuka.
I hate her. lmao XD
But yeah! Glad to hear you like the story, and hpe you like everything I have planned ;)
I'm also planning to write a six-shot, perhaps seven, because I feel like it, and I had a request from... someone (forgot your name, but I'll look it up) to do one about Nekozawa, so I shall get to work on that.
But as for the rest of you, enjoy!
"Righto everyone! The bidding is over! Here's the people that won you, go find them and break the bad news." Yelled Suki, bouncing about and handing small cards to everyone with our winners names on them.
"Bad news?" asked Kanie, taking his card, glancing at it and gaving a satisfied smirk.
"Yeah, they're gonna havta spend a weekend with us." she laughed, bounding over to Thunder and Storm.
"Whatever." muttered Kanie, slipping the card into his pocket and heading for the door.
Once Suki came to me and I glanced at the card, I couldn't help but smile.
"Lee..."
The idiot had bid eighty thousand on me... winning by one yen over someone else who went by the name 'Sunny'. A small fortune, but ah well.
And apparently I was popular.
I got up, made sure I looked presentable, and walked to the first library... Lee was probably there 'studying' on a computer.
-x-x-x-x-x-
"Lee, what are you doing?" I asked, sitting next to him on the computer.
"Preparing myself for alien attacks." he muttered, blasting another UFO on his game.
"Dude, a new version of space raiders is not going to help you."
"Whatever..." he grumbled, looking at me when he got blown up. "What brings you here anyways?"
"Eighty thousand yen." I said, grinning.
"...Oh... I won?"
"Congratulations! I'm yours for a weekend!" I cheered, throwing my arms up for emphasis (and in slight sarcasm).
He just laughed.
"Awesome, now, wanna help me defend the galaxy?"
"No. I have a life." I said, getting up, giving him the card, and walking off. Smiling to myself when I heard him laughing.
-x-x-x-x-x-
It was on my way back to club I saw Amatiro skulking the hallways.
"Amatiro, what's up man?"
"I'm looking for Belzeneff... he's my dad's, and he said I could use him in DM club, but someone's stolen him."
"Ah, crap... want help looking for him?" I offered. Bur Amatiro only shook his head and looked out the window.
"No, I found him."
I looked out the window, and saw the cat doll stuck on a high branch of the tree outside, with a sign hung from him saying 'ha ha'.
Some people are bastards.
"Who stole it? Once we get him back, we'll curse them or something." I suggested, opening the window wide enough for me to jump through... I only hope I make it to the tree.
"Nah, it's okay... Mai, whatcha doing?"
"Getting Belzeneff." I said, hoisting myself through the window and standing precariously on the windowledge. I heard Amatiro make 'ahh' sounds, obviously hesitating to let me jump from a window to a tree about ten feet away... but I could do it.
And I did.
It was then only a matter of climbing to the branch the doll was on, unhooking it from the twigs and then jumping back to the window where Amatiro was waiting.
"Mai... you didn't have to..." he said, smiling at me.
"No problem." I said, giving him a one armed hug, and smiling as he slipped the doll back into his pocket.
"So, what you up to?" he asked, walking down the hall with me.
"Well, I just went to tell Lee that he won the auction bidding on me. He beat a guy called Sunny by one yen, pretty gutting."
"Majorly." he noted.
"Now I got to go home and pack. Should be fun."
"Yeah... anyways, thanks. And have fun this weekend, and if Lee pisses you off, I got enough curse dolls."
"Shouldn't have to use them, but thanks!" I said, laughing. And he laughed too, waving bye to me.

"Mum! I can't find my sandles!" I screamed, running downstairs because I thought they might be in the closet that we hung all our coats up in.
"Are they not under your bed?" she yelled back, sitting on the sofa, but taking a moment out of her busy schedule of 'Jerry Springer repeats' to glance at me.
"No, I checked!" I cried, almost paddying.
"Oh.. fine, I'll help look." she grumbled, pressing the magic pause button so she could wander around freely and not miss the woman fight with her sister because she was sleeping with her husband.
She went right into the kitchen, opened the cupboard under the sink... and pulled out my sandles.
"What the hell?" I asked, taking them from her.
"Hatori hid them and told me not to tell you." she said, smiling slightly.
"Remind me to kill him when I get back." I grumbled.
"Sure thing babe, now let me get back to watching people murder one another."
"Fine mum, bye."I muttered, running up the stairs two at a time to pack my case.
-x-x-x-x-x-
All the hosts had piled into a limo, while all the guests were picked up in another. We made our way to the Ootori family resort seperately (and we set off an hour or three earlier to set some things up), and on the way, everyone except Molly, Cali and myself fell asleep.
I took this opportunity to mull over what was wrong with my life. I was in high school... that was bad.
I had a little brother that hid my shoes... scrap that, I had a little brother.
And... my dad had cancer. Possibly dying? I don't know how long mum and dad have known this, or what the hell is going on, or... how long he might have left... or if he's recovering, or anything.
This sucks.
"Mai?"
I snapped out of my trance, and looked across to Molly and Cali.
"What?"
"What's bumming you out?" asked Cali.
"I... I just found out something."
"Oh?" the girls asked,
"It's nothing though."
"You're lying." muttered Cali, narrowing her eyes.
"Tell us, it's not good for you to keep things bottled up." added Molly, nudging her glasses up.
"Well, you would know." I snapped back, but sighed... "My dad isn't well."
"What? Takashi isn't well?" Cali whispered, eyes widening like a doe.
"No... I snook into the hospital, tailed my dad and hid in a closet. I heard him talking to Kyouya and he said..." I gulped, and averted my eyes "he said 'How do you tell your children that you have cancer?'"
"He's dying?" cried Molly, so I dived on her and clapped my hand over her mouth.
"Shut up brainiac! He didn't say dying, just cancer... and I don't fancy jinxing it. Plus the 'rents don't know I know, and I don't plan on letting everyone else know!"
"Your mum and dad didn't tell you?" Cali asked quietly. I shook my head in response, and we were all silent for a moment.
"So that's why dad's been stressed lately... he's been consulting your dad?" Molly mused, looking apathetic, but her eyes were sad.
"Probably." I muttered.
"And my dad's been off too... him and your dad have always been really close."
"They've all been close." I said, hugging myself.
"You do know you should tell your dad you know. You deserve to know."
"I'd like to, but I don't want to get in trouble."
"For what?" Molly asked, looking at me sharply. "Wanting to know what was wrong with your father and taking the matter into your own hands?"
"Yeah." I said, with a small chuckle, because I would be in trouble for that.
"Well, that's stupid." Cali spat, pushing herself into the seat and glaring at the roof.
I hummed quietly in response, looked out of the window and sighed.
Somehow, I don't think that this little trip is going to be very enjoyable now.
