Hello my lovely readers, it's me! Anyway here ya go, chapter 12 and it's entirety, just like I said. Enjoy and leave a comment, please. It helps me out a lot, more than you would think. Anyway, here ya go.

Currently, everyone had finished eating while Yui and Noda were arguing once again.

I looked down to see Kanade by my side, giggling as Ooyama was still thanking Yurippe. Yurippe was leaning against a wall, clearly not entirely listening to Ooyama, but she was in one of her stages where you could clearly tell she was thinking up one of her plans.

I was half wondering what it was, but I knew that she would decide to announce it later.

"Hey, Yurippe," Hinata started "Were should we meet up at?"

Ooyama had stopped talking, thinking about what Hinata had just said. "Maybe at the park?" He asked, turning to Yurippe.

"No, that'd be too public to discuss things that go on in the SSS." Yurippe stated simply.

Kanade piped up. "My parents own a cafe that we could meet up in after business hours." She said, drawing the attention back to her

"Sounds like a fair idea." Hinata said.

Yurippe nodded "It would be good for temporary use. That is, until we are able to find somewhere suitable for the whole lot of us later to come."

"Yeah, there were a lot of us." I agreed quietly.

Kanade had written down the address on pieces of a notepad that Ooyama had provided. She tore it off, handing the same handwriting containing the address and hours the cafe opened and closed.

Ooyama had stood there, admiring her handwriting on the torn paper that she had given him, making a small giggle erupt from Kanade.

After traveling in the small circle we had, she stopped beside me. "I could show you the cafe myself," she said quietly, "you can have the address anyway, just in case you forget." She had handed a small piece of paper, containing the same information everyone else had received.

I nodded quietly, silently agreeing to what she had said.

"Well tomorrow it is then." Hinata said casually, walking towards the front door with a still hyper Yui.

"Yep! Tomorrow, cya later morons!" Yui called out cheerfully.

Luckily Yurippe was quick enough to hold back an annoyed and rather pissed looking Noda, grabbing his arms and pinning his body to the floor so fast that I had to think twice on what I had just seen.

"Get back here you brat!" He bellowed, wriggling beneath Yurippe as she put more pressure on his arm, making him wince and give up the fight.

"You really don't know when to stop, do you?" She said, a hint of amusement in her voice as she was trying to hold him down grunting in the process.

He had sighed, letting the fight go for now.

"Done?" Yurippe asked, loosening her grip some.

I could only hope he was.

"you three can go ahead without us." she said quietly.

Ooyama nodded fervently, rushing out the front door, as me an Kanade followed behind at a much slower pace.

"I hope to see everyone tomorrow." Kanade said quietly, as I had opened up the door for her.

My phone had buzzed, the ringtone going off, signaling that I had gotten a text from Hatsune.

Hey, mom said that the interview didn't work out with your boss, er your new one at least, thought I'd let you know is all. Anyway, tell Kanade I said hi, I talked to Hinata and he said that you were at a restaurant with some friends. Also, mom says to try not to be home too late.

I started to text back, Okay, thank you for letting me know, and I'll give Kanade your regards. I quickly finished, hitting send, and catching up with Kanade.

"Is something wrong?" She asked quietly, not wanting to be rude.

"Nah, Hatsune says my interview won't be today is all. She also says hello."

"Oh" She said giggling slightly. "That's very sweet of her."

I looked down at my watch, seeing that we had plenty of daylight to burn.

As Kanade grabbed my hand, leading me somewhere, I had found my thoughts wandering back.

*Thought start*

What the hell was that with her though. Her black hair, dark as ink. I couldn't help but to be unnerved at the sight of her, whoever it was, it certainly wasn't Kanade, it was some girl that I had never seen before. Maybe it was just an illusion? Perhaps it was just me. It seemed so real though, I know for fact that it wasn't Kanade. Maybe it was her Guard Skill acting up, since she was in the normal world. How did she even go acquire that thing?!

Whether it was an illusion or not, the entire situation felt wrong, plus she was acting a little different, the attitude around her seems almost alien. She just seemed different since the hospital. Did they give her some sort of weird medicine? What type of medicine could break apart her looks and replace them so quickly? I'd have to ask Yurippe about it tomorrow.

I sighed in frustration, my mind wanting to say it was just me, although it felt real. Maybe I should talk to my doctor? I don't know, perhaps I was just stressed. Yeah, that's it, school just got out, you're quitting your old job, stuff happens... Yeah, stuff...

*Thought end*

So in conclusion, I had decided to talk to Yurippe in private, so that way I wouldn't worry anyone.

My previous worries were paused my Kanade grabbing my hand gently, bringing it up to her cheek. "Yuzuru, your hands are so warm, are you worried about something?"

"Ah, no worries, I was just thinking, everything is fine." I said, smiling down at her, still letting her lead us.

"Okay." she stated quietly.

I let her lead still, taking in the scenery passing by us, slowly, flowers starting to bloom more than ever, shops open and children's laughter heard around the corner from a game of Ohajiki, and some coloring on the sidewalk with chalk, creating pictures of animals, dragging their mother over to show them their artwork as she smiled, praising them on their beautiful scribble creatures.

Further up ahead, down to the next corner, I could see vendors selling silk scarves, many types of food, a large variety of clothing and such. I had been taken in by such a scene, so many people congested in one area, you would think that there was no street under. Kanade kept leading me past the crowd, careful to not loose my hand. I was somewhat curious where we were heading, as the crown cleared up the more we were walking.

Suddenly Kanade had stopped, I hadn't noticed this, however, until I had ended up running into her, almost knocking her over, quickly reaching for her shoulders, to make sure that she wouldn't fall over. I had practically apologized a thousand times before wondering why she had stopped.

"Hmm?" I peered over her shoulder to see a small cat standing in front of her, dark fur with bright red eyes. I backed up as Kanade crouched down to persuade it over to her outstretched hand.

I smiled as I had watched her try to pursue the creature.

WELL ISN'T THIS CHAPTER BORING...

Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed, and here is a Labor Day gift, way to go working people! Here is chapter 12 (finally) and I hope you enjoyed... Please a comment, it always helps out, letting me know your thoughts and such, let me just overall know what's on your mind, heck it doesn't even have to be on the story, just say 'I like cats or something' I may end up keeping the cat though... anyway, I'm getting carried off... I met to say hi, but it turned out like this. So... bye!

PS I'm pretty sure Ohajiki is similar to marbles, only using stones and pebbles? (don't quote me on that)
