~Chapter 2- I'll be watching you~
Megumi sat up in her room all night filling a notebook of ways to win Kouki's heart, and breaking Tanpopo's. She decided that the most efficient way of getting to his heart is finding out what he wanted in a girl.and the only way to do that is to follow him, at least that's what she thought. "Hey Kouki?" Tanpopo said quiet so no one could hear. He turned to her and made a questioning noise. "I have this weird feeling like we are being followed." she whispered while eyeing the area for any 'stalkers'. Megumi hid in a bit pit which took all morning to dig. There came a rustle from the bushes which made Tanpopo jump into Kouki's arms, Megumi growled. Her growling was drowned out by another growling. "Hrm?" Megumi said to herself as she turned around to see what was growling. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Megumi jumped out of the pit and ran down the road as fast as she could. "Kon!" the animal jumped out of the bushes and into Tanpopo's arms. "Poplar!! Where did you go?!" Tanpopo smiled as she greeted her pet fox. ~Meanwhile~ "*huff.wheeze* I'll get you Kouki Kugyou! *huff.huff*" panted Megumi as she smeared the dirt on her face and continued on her way to school. Tanpopo and Kouki finally made it to school, after sending Poplar home, to be greeted by Aoi, Saionji, and Arisa. "What took you so long?" Saionji bitterly said, probably still in a bad mood from when Arisa called her annoying the day before. "Well guess what happened to us when we were walking?" Kouki asked. At that moment Megumi stormed past.her hair all out of place, her outfit dirty, dirt smeared across her forehead, and her shoes looked very worn in. "Ohayo Megumi-chan!" Tanpopo cheerfully greeted as Megumi just ignored her and walked past. "Nyo? Megumi-chan?" Tanpopo looked rather confused, Megumi never overlooked her before. "OH! It's loud girl!" Aoi said loud enough for Megumi to hear him, Megumi stopped but then just continued to walk. "Loud girl?" Tanpopo questioned as she looked at Aoi who was laughing a little at how he annoyed her. "Yeah, yesterday before we ran into you guys, she was standing in the middle of the road yelling at the top of her lungs" Aoi explained to the ever-so-curious Tanpopo. 'She was always so quiet in class and stuff' she thought to herself as she turned back in the direction of Megumi. She was yelling at people for getting in her way and she was shoving her way through the crowd. *sweat drop* Tanpopo entered her homeroom and walked over to Megumi. "Yes?" Megumi coldly replied as if she thought that everything/one in the room wasn't good enough to talk to her. Tanpopo became a bit angered by her new attitude, "You have dirt on your face," she said as she walked away. Megumi looked a bit surprised by Tanpopo's actions, but she just imagined that it was natural when someone as beautiful as herself was competing for Kouki's heart. She wiped her the tiny dot of dirt off of her face (only to leave the humongous streak of dirt that was across her forehead). Aoi and Arisa start looking over at Megumi who by now thinks that she is the queen of homeroom 3-C, and discuss how they think that she is planning something. "I have an idea." Aoi said as he started to whisper to Arisa. "Excuse me, Tamashii-san" Arisa said happily as she stood next to Megumi's desk. "What do YOU want?" "I was just going to tell you that I really admire your backpack" Arisa smiled cheerfully. "Well you should, it is much better than yours ANY day!" Megumi chuckled at her own cleverness as Arisa picked up the back pack. "It really is tasteful, and I should know since I was in Tokyo and I was the most styled in the entire school" Arisa made a nippy comeback and secretly placed a tracking device which Aoi made himself (which was so tiny that it wasn't noticeable at all) into her backpack. "Well now that I think of it.it's not really that nice, more like something a hick would wear. It suits you" Arisa replied and walked back to Aoi. "Tracking device on!" She whispered as she gave him a thumbs up, "You are amazing, Aoi. Making a tracking device! What a genius!" ~After school~ Aoi is typing and watching little red and blue dots move on his computer screen. Above the blue dot is Kouki and above the red is Tanpopo. Then on the screen a little green dot came on with Megumi's name above it. "I was so lucky that I put tracking devices in all of my friends backpacks" He said to himself as he watched the dots. He then picked up his cell phone which was ringing for the longest time. "Arisa? She's following Kouki and Tanpopo" Aoi said into the phone and then hung up "What a conversationalist." Arisa said as she waited for them to come in sight. ~Meanwhile with Saionji~ "Hm? WHERE IS EVERYONE?!?!?!" Saionji yelled.poor Saionji was left out of all the fun..;-; ~Back to Arisa~ They finally come in view and she tries to remember what Aoi told her to do again.. Then she suddenly ran out of the bushes and starts screaming. "Arisa?" they both said with a confused tone of voice. "Can't talk now!" She said as she grabbed their hands and ran into the woods surrounding them. She pulled them past tree to tree and threw thorns. "NYO!? What are you doing, Arisa?" Tanpopo yelled as she almost tripped over a rock sticking up from the ground. "SHHHHHH! She might hear us!" Arisa yelled as she continued to pull them deeper into the forest until finally they were lost. Arisa picked up her cell phone. "Aoi? I got them! And SHE is no where to be found" she said into the receiver. "Great job Arisa!" he replied "But there is a problem.we are lost in the woods." "*sweat drop* Arrrrrrrriiiiiiiiisaaaaaaa!!" Aoi moaned, "Sometimes I wonder about you." Aoi just closed the Tetris game and then went back to the screen with all the little dots. "OH! You are right near me!" Aoi said as he started walking. "We are?" Arisa asked. There was a sudden tap on her shoulder, Arisa jumped. "Yo." Aoi greeted "Umm guys..What's going on???" Kouki asked as they just sat there confused.
