Supps~ -w-

So I figured I should update today, and I did write quite a bit, but since I didn't finish the part I had written, I decided to cut it at about 2000 words so that it would be the 'regular' chapter length.

I am also, throughout this week and maybe a bit after, going to be re-writing the first 15 or so chapters. Yeup. And that's because one of my friends found it, and they made the comment "It's a lot like an online diary" and figuring she has a point, since my author notes are usually wayy too long, so I might as well fix typos. I'm also going to be changing a couple details here and there. Mainly trivial, such as Kasumi's birthday (because I realized I input my own birthdate without realizing =w=" it's still going to be in December though lol) and Houdini's full name. It's still going to be long, and obviously include Stefan, so as not to get you too confused. I think that's about it, so let us continue on to more awesome matters.

OHMAHGODWEHAVEREACHED100! OHMAGODDD!

CONGRATULATIONS TOOOOO: oh that's funny. Ahem. CONGRATULATIONS TOOO: anonymous! Yeah. Anonymous. Couldn't you have picked a name or something? Really? Whatever, YOU GET A COOKIEEEE! OHMAHGOD TAKE TWOOO YOU'RE THE 100TH!

Soooo… do you want me to do something? Idk what I should do… I was thinking a oneshot or an extra chapter of your choosing, but my skills aren't quite that good yet =w=". So yeah. Enough spazzing.

Oh, and I should mention, to my great sadness, that there is no Hibari in this chapter. 'Kay? Oh and it ends as if it's going to be some awesome encounter or something, but really, don't get your hopes up. I just cut it there because that was where 2000 words was. Yeah.

Enjoy~

~o~o~o~o~o~o~

"Okay class, as I told you last week, there is a test today!"

What.

When was this decided? Well, apparently last week, silly Kasumi.

Okay, so I'm in class, and we have a test, and I didn't know we had one, so I kind of didn't study.

Oh, who I am I kidding, even if he told me last year I wouldn't have studied one bit. I hate studying. It never works out for me, not to mention that every time I study I get a low-average mark. Don't ask me how it works. Although I think I have touched on the subject before.

My subconscious? Remember it? Yeah, that's what keeps all the information. I don't pay attention in class at all, unless the teacher stares at me and looks like they're going to ask a question. Then I have to pay attention since my subconscious doesn't come in when I'm expected to say the answer right then and there while being stared at by everyone like I'm some animal in captivity.

In any case, the teacher started handing out the test papers as he told everyone to quiet down. After he finished handing them out, he went to the front of the class again. "Alright! You may begin."

I heard a synchronized sound of everyone picking up their pencils and starting to write. I did too, but… just for my name. And the date, but that was all I knew so far. So now starts my usual routine I usually follow for writing tests which I don't remember anything about.

Stare at the paper.

Actually read the paper.

Figure out which ones are common sense; solve them. If there's multiple choice; cross out the ones that are obviously not it, and then make a final deduction. Or do eenie-meenie-miney-mo, but the problem with that method is that if the teacher sees you think, 'uh, yes it does'. Of course, I only do that for the ones that I don't have the slightest idea of what the answer is. The problem with doing that is that younger me thought she'd spend some of her time figuring out which one would be picked if she did that. For example, if there's two choices, it will be the second one. Unless you go out of your way to make it the first one, but then that's not choosing via eenie-meenie-miney-mo, is it?

Anyway, after that, skip any questions I don't know – this usually results in me flipping every page except for the random question that makes sense, and then get to the end of the test.

Then you weep, silently, and ask yourself why you didn't pay attention in class.

Yup. This is how tests go for me. The only exceptions are when the class is interesting and I actually feel ready for a test. That's when I write like mad, because I'm trying to write it all out before I forget it. Oh, wait, have I mentioned I only study at the very beginning of class plus whatever time the teacher gives us? That's because my studying at-home sessions start out with:

"Yosh! We're gonna take notes, do a lot of high-lighting, make it pretty, and then quiz ourselves at the end!"

And five minutes later it's like:

"Hehehe, silly cat… I should really start to study… nah, I know it pretty well anyway."

Yeah.

Now then, the final step is to try and remember any formulas he wrote before. This is gonna take a while…

=3=3=3=3=3 (after the test)

I lay in my usual post-test position, which consisted of my arms straight out in front of me on my desk and facing down.

"How did you do Kasumi-chan?" I heard a sickeningly sweet voice behind me. At the moment, there's only one thought going through my head:

'Why are you talking to me?'. It's a genuine question. I have no idea why Kyoko had this random urge to come and start a conversation. I mean, it's not like I was one of the people who found her to be super annoying and useless, because, while kinda true, she… she uh… okay she doesn't really do much except support. But I still don't hate her. Don't ask me why, I don't even know anymore. In any case I need to respond, and with this brain of mine, obviously I would forget the fact that I had the whole "studious" part to my persona.

"Frankly I think I failed. You?" I facepalmed at myself. You're not supposed to say that Kasumi~. Of course, Kyoko being Kyoko, she thought I was trying to be funny or something, and giggled slightly. Or maybe there were markings on my face from laying it on my sleeve.

"I think I did pretty well. The last question had me stumped for a while though!" She beamed again. Okay, I think not liking her might be possible. Well, maybe not. I need someone to suck positive energy out of anyway. Not in the literal sense; I'm not secretly some mystical creature.

"Ah, you too Kyoko-chan?" Some other guy whose name I didn't bother remembering – okay I lied, his name is Misowa Shu(1). I remember everyone in this room and every piece of information they – or anyone else - has given me. Some take a little more than others to remember, but in the end I remember.

"What did you get?" asked Nidori Isana, some other random girl.

Eventually, almost everyone in the classroom was engaged in a conversation about the last question on the test. This meant that after about five minutes, I was effectively shut out of the conversation.

Therefore, I backed away, and slowly but surely made my way out the classroom door.

"Hm... where to?" I asked myself. I could go to the Committee room, but I feel like I've been going there too much lately. Stefan has already established himself as a popular dude (the traitor) and Tsuna and them were who knows where. Maybe they were in the classroom; I don't really care for them as much as I did at the beginning of all this. Okay that sounded mean, but it's true. To me they are just another group of people, like in my old world. Just another group of friends… albeit one that has its own manga series.

I started heading off in a random direction and let my thoughts take over my mind. Ones such as, will I ever get back? How could I get back? Do the people – in my world, not a parallel one – know and care that I am missing? Did my family call the police? And even if they did, was I just another number more to the statistic of how many kids run away from home every year ? But the question most prominent in my mind was,

If there was a way to go back home, would I take it?

My life in my original world was very boring; not like I tried to make it any less boring. I never joined any school teams, or camps, or even made that many friends. I can probably count how many actual friends I had on one hand. But if I think about it, I don't exactly have that many friends in this world either. The only one that kind of counts is Hibari, and maybe Stefan, if he hasn't already completely forgotten about me. I mean, you should see him; he's about as popular as Yamamoto and Gokudera. As for Tsuna and Yamamoto and Gokudera…Tsuna probably thinks I'm just another girl, Yamamoto probably forgot about me, and same with Gokudera.

I'm just a minor character. One of those that appeared in filler chapters that no one gave a second thought about unless they were mean to Tsuna. Then again, I don't think I would have even been introduced, since the manga doesn't follow Tsuna during every waking moment. And even if it did, I probably still wouldn't be introduced since I'm from, uh, my world, and they'd basically be crossing the fourth wall.

Since I hadn't been paying attention to my surroundings, or where I was walking, I ended up bumping into some random muscly guy. Not Ryohei; this guy had black hair, and squinty eyes. He wasn't even that muscly, just big.

"Watch where you're – oh, it's a girl." He smirked and looked back at his friends. He turned back to me, "Why are you alo- huh?" Or at least, where I had been. I had let out a small 'excuse me' and continued walking. I do not care for the majority of this planet. The only people so far have been Hibari and Stefan, although I'm not so sure about the latter anymore. Gah, stop being so negative, Kasumi! Be happy for him! He made friends.

'Unlike you.' A voice sneered in my head.

'Go. Away.' Why am I arguing with myself, I don't know.

'Hahaha, you're just jealous that he made friends and left you to your own devices, aren't you?' It kept going on.

'No, you see, I prefer to be alone' And now I'm trying to convince myself. Whatever, it passes the time. It's lunch time right now… well, I hope so. Otherwise Hibari will have my head for skipping.

'Keep telling yourself that. Face it, you want cuddles.' Well, the tone in which that was said wasn't really mean anymore. Sigh, that's me trying to cheer myself up.

'Ahaha, yeah, no. ' I made sure that I was keeping a straight face as I walked aimlessly through the halls.

'You thought it.' The voice pointed out.

'Thought what?' I tilted my head subconsciously.

'The who would want to, anyway thought. You've had that one a lot.' Okay this is getting creepy. Kasumi, stop talking to yourself.

'Baha, what if it's not you? What if I'm a split personality or something?'

'No, split personalities take over one and one can't remember what happened during the period of time in which the other self took control of the body.' I explained… why am I explaining to myself? I know this!

'Because now you are now convinced you have split personalities. '

'Even if I thought that for the slightest moment, I can just explain to myself again why this isn't a split personality. It's just me being weird.'

'Whatever you say sunshine. By the way, someone has been following you for a while now. I don't know who it is since you don't, but you've been noticing the presence ever since they started.'

'And you decide to tell me now. Instead of when they started.'

'Well, this way you got a lot of self-enlightenment, didn't you? I'll be here if you need me.'

…

Oh-kay! Ignoring the weird sense of self I got there, it's true that someone is following me. Yes, the halls are somewhat full, but the same person has been following me and I'm guessing they think I'm not aware of them. Well, there's always the chance that they're just going in the same direction, so I'll just make random turns from here on out…

Where am I? I don't think I've been to these halls before.

Now that I'm looking around, I'm in what would be considered, the 'shady' part of the school. It's not like it's completely filled with smoke or something; Hibari would never let that pass. It's just filled with big guys and oompa-loompas.

In any case, they're all kind of staring at me as I walk by, and I'm guessing it's because they're wondering what the beep a girl who doesn't look like them is doing here. Either way, the person following me still is, so once I leave this hallway, it should be clear whether they are following me or just going in the same direction.

You would think everyone would just quietly talk among themselves, but noo. They had to notice the random girl who decides to go through their hallway.

"Yo!"

~o~o~o~o~o~

FUN FACT OF THIS CHAPTER: This was originally just the start of what this chapter was supposed to be. It was just supposed to be like an intro, but I ended up going on and ooonn and yeah. I still haven't gotten to the part I wanted =3=. I've got about 1000 words of the next chapter, so yeah.

Review please~
