Author's Note: I get so happy whenever you guys save this story and favourite the chapter. What have you guys been up to lately?

"... then you fold the wrapper like so and then... Uhm, n-no, Mera, you can't eat the filling raw! Where was I? Uhm, if it doesn't stick, you can dab very little water on your finger and spread it on the edge of the dough to make sure that you seal it. After that, you're good!" Emiko said as she finished demonstrating how to wrap a Gyoza (dumpling).

The girls from Class Three (Rei, Yuuki, Chiyo, Kokomi, Tora, Mera and a couple others) were at Emiko's house for their sleepover and making dumplings for their dinner. It was Kokomi's idea to make dumplings as she bashfully admitted that she really enjoyed the Gyoza their pink haired friend cooked for New Year's and that she'd been craving it ever since.

"Like this?" The blue haired girl asked with a perfect dumpling on her palm. 'Well, I know it's perfect because I'm perfect!'

"Exactly! You got the hang of it right away!" Emiko said cheerfully. "Okay, so I'll flatten the dough to make the wrappers and then you girls fill it and fold it! M-Mera, stop. Please don't eat the dough. Wait here." The hostess went to the fridge and brought out a couple of sandwiches for Mera. "Sorry, they're cold, I can heat them if you li-"

Mera didn't wait for them to be heated up before she gobbled them all.

As the girls were wrapping the dumplings, Tora, who'd been brimming with curiosity since the day before finally burst.

"So, Yuuki, I heard that you received chocolates from a certain class rep, hm?"

Yuuki blushed. "Th-they were obligatory!"

"Maybeee! But you guys have become quite close I think. Didn't you have lunch together yesterday?"

"Well, we happen to have the same hobbies and such so we have plenty to talk about."

"Do you like Hairo?" Chiyo asked cheekily.

Yuuki sighed. "Yes..."

All the girls gasped. "Aw! We knew it!"

"Yeah yeah, I guess I'm not the most subtle but Hairo seems to be dedicated to his athletics, academics and life, generally, to notice me in that way, yah know. Which I respect. It's not like I wanna force him to be in a relationship it's just a happy crush and yeah, I don't see us happening."

They all sighed. Romance didn't seem to be in Hairo's list of yet.

Chiyo, however was adamant to play cupid, being that she was the only one in the group who has had a boyfriend, thus, she claimed that she was the most experienced one (in romantic affairs) out of all.

"Don't worry, Yuuki! I promise by the end of High School, you guys will be together and I as your wing-woman!"

They had a lovely time making dumplings and getting to know each other a little bit better. One, being that they learned that Rei could make a mean noodle dish that paired well with their Gyoza. While eating, Tora, the most curious one of all had to start ask something again.

"Neh, Emi-chan. You and Saiki seem rather close, yeah? You walk home together after school and all. Is there anything going on between you two?"

Chiyo and Kokomi, both having a crush on the said boy choked on their drinks.

"Y-y-yeah, Emi-chan! A-anything going on?" Chiyo asked. 'If he's dating Emiko, I should totally back off! There's no way I can compete with her!'

"Tell us! We'll keep your secret!" Kokomi said perfectly though inside she was totally freaking out. 'If she and Saiki are together, how could I have allowed myself to think about a taken man? What's something that Emiko has that I don't that made Saiki choose her over me?'

Waving her hands in front of her to form an x, Emiko laughed nervously "No no no! You got it all wrong! We're best friends! That's all."

"Really... Just best friends?" Tora asked waiting for a confession of sorts.

"Yes, Tora. Just best friends."

"Still quite impressive though. The new transferee becomes his best friend when non of us could even become his friends for years. I mean, it's not like we tried. It just seemed that he didn't want company." Said Rei.

"That's true! Saiki has been quiet for as long as we've known him. He's got this reputation as the quiet, brooding, mysterious guy." Yuuki said.

"You know, thinking about it, Saiki is quite cute. I'm sure if he didn't have pink hair, many will have the hots for him." Said one of the girls.

"Well, I think his pink hair is cute." Emiko said. "Kind of like a stern piece of bubblegum."

"Are you sure you don't like him?" Tora asked trying to push the issue.

"I don't. He's a really great guy though. He cares about the class but he doesn't like showing it. " Emiko stopped herself knowing Saiki would not appreciate her praising him in front of others. "And I don't think he's the type to go into a romantic relationship any time soon."

"Unattainable, guy, huh?" Unknowingly, Chiyo and Teruhashi sighed. Emiko got a text.

"Speaking of Kusuo..." She said.

"Kusuo?" All the girls asked shocked at her use of his first name.

"Yes, Kusuo. He messaged me now and-"

"Why are you using his first name?"

"We're best friends. As I was saying he-"

"CONFESSED?!" Said the once again overly eager Tora.

"Uhm, no. He messaged me because he forgot to tell me that-"

"HE LOVES YOU?" Tora asked again with her big blue eyes wide with eagerness.

"What is it with you about Kusuo confessing to me? Erm, no. He said that..." She looked at Tora to make sure that she won't interrupt her again "That, some boys in our class are planning to peep on us during our sleepover at around ten o clock."

"Wow! Saiki is such a gentleman to tell us that!" Chiyo said with her eyes sparkling and all the girls agreed.

Emiko suppressed her laughter realising that her friends were starting to look at Kusuo as an eligible young man, but she had to tell them not to pay him so much mind because, well, we know why.

"Yeah, but don't make a fuss or anything. He'll have my head if he suddenly receives attention. He hates it ahaha. Ahem. My point in telling you guys about the Peeping Toms is because I wanna know..." Emiko's aura got darker and more mischievous "What are we gonna do about it?"

The girls caught her drift and rubbed their hands together gleefully.

"You got the binoculars?"

"Yeah. You got the snacks?"

"This is gonna be great! Hiro and Teruhashi in one sleepover? Call us lucky!"

"Hell yeah! Well, come to think of it, most of the girls are good looking!"

"I can't wait for them to start a pillow fight! You know how hot that can get!"

Three boys say excitedly on a rather large tree branch.

'Yare yare. How troublesome. To think I'll spend my night off here. Making sure that the plan of these bakas don't go as planned.' Saiki said as he sat invisible on the sidewalk in front of Emiko's house. Being the gentleman that he was, he didn't have a view of the girls as it would be a violation as we all know. Apparently, Takahashi, Shuugi and Jaga, didn't.

*Hey! Sorry, I forgot to message you back. Thanks for letting us know. Don't worry though! The girls and I planned something for the trolls. :D* Emiko replied to his message.

Kusuo smirked. He was hardly surprised. Whatever it is they planned, knowing Emiko, he was sure it was bound to teach the boys a lesson. He stood up and teleported back to his house. Though he was curious on what will happen, he'll wait for Emiko to tell him.

*All right. Lemme know what happens. I'm very curious.*

*Fosho! Thanks for looking out for us, Saiki!* She replied. Not a second later, she sends another message *Oops! I meant Kusuo! :)))*

Saiki lay on his bed with a ghost of a smile. 'Kusuo, hm?'

"What's happening? Is something happening?" Shuugi whispered.

"Nothing yet. They're just talking! They aren't complete, though!" Jaga whispered back. Just assume they were all whispering.

"Darn! Maybe they went to the kitchen." Takahashi concluded.

*Crunch*

"Shhhh! Walk carefully! They might hear us! What if Hiro-san has a dog?" Takahashi scolded.

"Wasn't me!" Shuugi defended himself.

"Not you?"

"No!"

"Maybe it was the wind?" Jaga suggested.

A silence blanketed the boys as they were trying to confirm if it was indeed the wind.

"No wind." Jaga said.

"It's fine! It's nothing! What are the girls doing now? Is Emiko back?" Takahashi asked.

"No. They're still in the kitchen I think." Shuugi assumed.

"Shoot! Look! Mera is removing her shirt! Damn it seems like she has a nice rack!" Jaga whispered loudly

"Let me see!"

They were all trying to get a glimpse of Mera who was taking an absurd amount of time removing her shirt.

"Why is she taking so long?" They said impatiently.

*Crunch*

"Shut up! She might hear us!" Takahashi nearly spoke loudly.

"It wasn't me! Stop blaming me!" Shuugi said frustrated.

*Crunch.*

"Wasn't me either!" Jaga said fearfully.

The boys stilled.

*Crunch*

"Shit!" Takahashi whispered loudly.

A very faint and sinister laugh reached the ears of the boys making the hairs of the skin stand.

"What the hell! Where did that come from?" Jaga asked shivering.

"Maybe it's just someone's television!" Shuugi tried to comfort himself.

The laugh was heard again.

"Fuck! That's so scary!" Jaga said tearfully.

They heard steps approaching their position.

"Fuck! You think someone heard us?" Takahashi asked.

"Maybe!"

The foot steps approaching them came to a halt and once again, the boys were enveloped in silence. Thinking they were safe, the boys climbed down the tree.

"We gotta go! We might get caught!"

Grabbing their things they prepared to crawl out then climb out of Emiko's fence when the laughter was heard from the bush right next to them.

Nearly peeing their pants, the boys froze.

"Don't grasp my arm!" Takahashi angrily whispered.

"It wasn't me!" Shuugi said frustratedly.

"It wasn't me either."

They froze again.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck!" They were all shaking. "We gotta get out of here."

"Why so soon?" A feminine eerie voice whispered to them. It seemed like it was coming from behind the tree.

"What was that?" The boys were so terrified that they were sure they did pee their pants.

"You think we'll let you leave?" Another voice asked from behind them.

They boys felt their soul leave their body as more footsteps approached them. They tried to find their way in the dark with the light in Emiko's room as their only source of brightness. It was difficult to see either way. Suddenly, the light in Emiko's room went out and they were left in the complete darkness.

"Someone grabbed my arm!" Jaga said forgetting to whisper.

"Mine too!" The other boys cried.

A bright spot light was fell upon the boys revealing their location. Not knowing what to do, and being in the dark for so long, the boys averted their eyes from the light source.

"Hello, Takahashi, Shuugi and Jaga." Emiko said with her arms crossed. "Lovely evening, hm? Welcome to my home, though, we see you let yourselves in."

"We're so sorry!" Takahashi cried with utter embarrassment and fear. As hot as Emiko was, she had a reputation for being a strong woman who beat up a thug. Then he remembered that Rei was a red belt in Karate. Oh they were gonna get it now.

"We're sorry!" The three boys said in unison as they bowed so low their forehead was on the ground.

"Can't believe you guys would do that!" Chiyo exclaimed.

"Yeah, no respect for your classmates at all." Tora chimed in.

"I'm quite saddened by this." Teruhashi sighed. This made the boys feel worse than they already did.

They apologised again.

"What should about this, girls? I'm afraid an apology isn't enough for trespassing and violating not only our trust but our privacy." Emiko said with a smirk on her face. Oh, she could be scary when she wanted to be.

"I could beat them up!" Rei suggested (all the girls knew it was a joke) making the three boys shake to their core.

"Oh, you could? How nice." Emiko said too sweetly.

"Please don't! We'll do anything for your forgiveness!" Takahashi cried.

"I don't know... Hm. Anything? You mean it?" Yuuki asked slyly.

"YES!"

"Well, I guess you can start by giving me all your snacks." Mera said eyeing their snacks.

"ALL YOURS!"

"Does anyone have an idea on what the boys can do?" Emiko asked her friends.

Kokomi bit her lip. She really wanted to suggest something but as she had to maintain a perfect image who didn't punish others, she kept quiet.

"I have an idea!" Chiyo said excitedly "In different days, all of us are assigned to cleaning duty at the end of the day. What if, these three boys take over the duties of all the girls until the end of the school year?"

Everyone was quiet for a while. Then suddenly all the girls started laughing.

"Good idea!" Yuuki said.

"I think so too!" Emiko laughed. "Well, boys, what do you think?"

"We'll do it! We'll do it!"

"Wonderful!" Rei clapped. "You can't bully anyone into doing it for you unless you want a visit from me."

"WE PROMISE! PLEASE LET US GO!"

"All right!" Emiko said. "Leave your snacks with Mera and I'll show you the door."

Dressed in their pyjamas, all the girls were giggling about how they scared the three boys out of their wits.

"Did you see their faces?"

"Totally!"

"They deserved it! They've been really perverted and mean ever since I can remember." Tora said.

"Yeah?" Emiko asked being the newest student.

"Oh, yeah! During class trips, they always had some plan to peep on girls in the onsen." Chiyo remembered.

"Well, they learned their lesson!" Teruhashi said.

"I don't know." Rei said. "People like Takahashi take a while before they change for the better."

"Well, the next time they try to pull anything, I'm sure they'll regret it." Emiko said.

"Scaring them was fun though!" Tora said.

"Yeah! Who knew Chiyo could make such a scary sounding laugh."

Chiyo repeated her scary laugh sending all the girls into a giggling fit.

*How'd it go?* Kusuo texted Emiko.

*Extremely well. :)) I'll tell you what happened the next time I see you.* She replied.

*All right.*

*I owe you one.*

*No need. It was something you needed to know.*

*Ok. :) But...*

*There's a but?* Saiki frowned.

*Well, how would you like to be one of eligible bachelors of Class Three? :D*

*What did you do?*

*Nothing! The girls just decided that you were a cute guy.*

*Emiko...*

Ellipses were scary in texts. *I'll do something about it! WOW LOOK AT THE TIME HAHAHAH! Goodnight, Kusuo.*

*... Goodnight, Emiko.* She was adorable, yes, but unpredictable at times. Saiki sighed as he went to bed.

Author's Note: I hope you were at least amused with this chapter. Hahaha! I never liked Takahashi and crew so there. The next chapter will reveal a little more on Emiko's past! I'll post that within a few hours.
