Hotaru's POV

Someone! Please get the stupid cricket out of Ruka's room! Obviously I'm not since Ruka won't let me. He's too scared that I'm gonna kill it. I was. Well Ruka is drinking too much coffee. He can't stop bouncing up and down all day. I have to shoot him with the baka gun all day! Well if the cricket isn't leaving of if no one catches it, I'll have no choice but to get it myself and the cricket wouldn't want that would it? I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

Ruka's POV

I NEED MORE COFFEE! I need to stay awake in class and it's so hard to. Stupid cricket. Everytime I try to catch it, it goes off and is too fast for me. I'm not letting Hotaru get it since she would kill the innocent cricket. I'm not letting the exterminator either since who knows what they would do to the poor cricket. Well I need someone gentle enough to do the job.

Yuu's POV

Stupid Misaki sensei. Giving me a D. How can't I go from having straight A's to a D! I don't understand! Everyone else said it was good. Well getting that off my mind, I need to think of a good secret Santa present for Ruka since I don't was to cosplay with Narumi. Embarrassing. I'm pretty sure going to the mall is useless since his he's rich enough to buy the whole mall. All of us are except for Mikan. Getting Ruka an animal seems weird since he can't get enough sleep because of one even though he loves them.

Then the random thoughts on my D is back. Get out of my head! I really want an A. I tried talking to Misaki sensei. But every time I do, I loose control of my anger leaving him trying to get away from me. Okay, back to Ruka. What is something he needs? A portable coffee machine? No, that would ruin his health. Ah ha! I know what to do. It doesn't even cost money.

The next morning was a school day. I went to Ruka's house and waited to watch him leave. Then I rang the door bell and Ruka's mom let me in.

Ruka's POV

Damm cricket. Still keeping me awake. I was leaning on my locker all tired when Yuu came up to me.

"Merry Early Christmas!" he said.

So he was my secret Santa huh? I opened it up and it was a cricket. On a little bit of peanut butter on it. Weird.

"You got me a cricket with peanut butter on it?" I asked.

"Nope. It's not just any cricket. It's the one that was keeping you up all night for the past month," he said.

"Shut up! How did you catch it? It's way too fast."

"Well this morning after you left your house, your mom let me in. Then I went into your room and used peanut butter to lure it into the box."

That explains the peanut butter.

"How did you know that crickets like peanut butter?" I asked curiously.

"Well...",he started while I was listening eagerly.

"Everyone like peanut butter," he finished.

What a disappointment. Well that was a fine present. At least I could finally get some sleep now. Right?

Later that night

Bump!Bump!Bump! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Well I take that back. It would take a while to get used to new noisy neighbors.

How was it? Please review!
