And so it begins…

"Hm, I guess Nakatomi and Sawanoguchi are running a little late today", I stated to Aburatsubo as I glanced down at my wristwatch. I raised my eyes to achieve eye contact when he said, "Well while we're waiting let's do something fun!" As soon as he said the dreaded word and cringed some and he clamped himself around my body. I let out a scream and fidgeted to try and get away, "Goddamn it! Aburatsubo! No means no! Get off of me!" "What was that? You want me to get off on you? Oh Takeo! That sounds so kinky!" he exclaimed as he wrestled me to the floor of the clubroom. I know I let out a scream of fear and know sooner did I do that than the door slid open and Sawanoguchi and Nakatomi stood in the door way.

Aburatsubo quickly got off from being on top of me and glared at Sawanoguchi as if it were her fault. I quickly jumped up as well more or less just happy that the little "fun" didn't go any further. "So now we're all here. Heh. Heh. We'll everyone except Aikawa, she's at another photo shoot," I said while look at Nakatomi then letting my gaze rest on Sawanoguchi and soon my eye drifted from her face down to her chest. I felt my face start to heat up some and wonder what that bit of green color stuff was on her club uniform. I felt Aburatsubo jab me in the side with his elbow I pulled my eyes away reliantly from her chest area. "Um, Sawanoguchi," I started, curiosity getting the best of me, "What's.. Um.. That green stuff on your uniform?"

Nakatomi brought both her hands up to her mouth as if to stifle a laugh while Sawanoguchi eyes grew large and she tried to brush the green stuff off. I felt myself go into some sort of trance as I watched her hands. "Oh, damn that Jell-O!" Sawanoguchi exclaimed, "Takeo, Hun, well you be a deer and help me get it off my club uniform?" "Erm, uh, what? You want to.. Heh.. Heh.. Oh, I really shouldn't.." I started but she cut in, "But, Takeo, pleeeaaaassseeee?" I felt my body go tense when she slid her uniform off with ease and clung to my side.

"Uh, Takakura? You with us?" inquired Nakatomi as she pulled me from my little fantasy. I wiped the small bit of blood that had started to trickle down my face from my perverted thoughts and answered uneasily, "Erm, yeah! I was just, uh, thinking what type of magic we'd be doing today!" Sawanoguchi locked a respective gaze on me while Nakatomi just raised an eyebrow. Aburatsubo nudged me in the gut and on instinct I looked in his direction and he muttered to me, "I love it when your so perverted. I just hope they were thoughts of me", he winked seductively at me and I backed up against the sidewall. "Anyway!" I started, "Why don't we start with a simple object transformation to warm up?" "Yes! That's sounds great, Takakura. I promise I'll try my best!" replied Sawanoguchi enthusiastically. With her simple words I felt my heart melt, Nakatomi nodded and added a "Sure" and Aburatsubo did the same.

"Alright then! First will transform this," I paused a second and pulled out a kiwi from a small box under the fold out table, "into a pineapple!" Nakatomi gave a slight smirk and added, "Good, pineapples are better than kiwis anyways." The others and I gave a slight laugh at Nakatomi comments for she had been having this stupid little "fight" with one of her friends since middle school and I had completely forgot about it until now. I ran my finger under the magical text in the book, "OK, we will all chant this spell and picture this simple kiwi transforming into a pineapple."

"Eh ehto alpeh beito to ehm," we all said together in some sort of rhythm. The kiwi began to shake slightly on the tabletop and we all concentrated more on turning it into a pineapple. The kiwi gave one last shake before it turned into a pineapple all "poof-like". All of us look at the pineapple and smiled happily for this was the first time we had done our first spell of the day and it went right! No soon than I said, "We did it!" than the pineapple began to shake. We all looked at it questionably wondering what was going to happen when the pineapple exploded and went all over the place in nice bite sized bits.

I sighed and hung my head, "Well it almost went right." Aburatsubo quickly cut, "What was it you were thinking about this times?" he accused angrily at Sawanoguchi. Nakatomi just shook her head and patted her friend on the back as she began to speak, "Well, I was just thinking that I hadn't had my usual after school snack and that some pineapple did sound pretty good right now and that I'd want to share it with all of you." She quickly did a deep respective bow and sniffled slightly, "I'm really sorry! The thought only crossed my mind for a second and I didn't mean and harm by it." "Your always such a fuck up," Aburatsubo muttered and only I could really hear it. I gave him a sharp glare then turn my eyes to Sawanoguchi. "No, no, it's OK no harm was done except I'm a little sticky from the juice," I said softly and gave her a comforting smile. She smiled back some and I felt myself go numb with the feels that aroused in me at seeing her happy but I quickly shook it off as I got a little smirk from Nakatomi, "So, erm, let's continue, shall we?"

~*~*~*~*~ Time Passes all WHOOOOSH-like ~*~*~*~*~

I picked up and fiddles with my little paper crane I had made using the origami magic. It surprised me that it turned out so well and that it was actually better than it I had made it by hand. I glanced around to see how the others' cranes were coming along. Aburatsubo's was perfect, as usual, and on the final steps. Nakatomi was near done and slightly oddly shaped. I kept my eyes on Sawanoguchi's origami trying to figure out what she was doing for it didn't look anything like a crane, more like a little paper man.

Aburatsubo was the first one done, after myself, followed by Nakatomi then Sawanoguchi. "Sae, what the hell were you doing? We were suppose to make paper cranes not little men!" Nakatomi exclaimed slightly agitated. "I think it looks great," I started, "I mean, granted it's not a crane, but it's still very creative and well done." Sawanoguchi got a huge grin on her face and started at me happily, "Wow, you really think so?" I nodded and Aburatsubo cut in, "Creative or not, next time try to stay on subject so I don't end up with citrus fruit all over me again." Sawanoguchi hung her head some.

"Well, I think that's all we'll cover for tonight," I started when the door slid open to the clubroom. "Hi everyone! Sorry I'm late," it was Aikawa; she strolled in as if there was nothing wrong with her tardiness. "Wow, Akane you're here just in time to go home," Nakatomi said to her with her usual sarcasm. "Oops! I guess my date after the photo shoot lasted longer than I thought it would," and with that she giggled and headed back out the door, "See you guys later!" Nakatomi tried to hold in her rage until Aikawa left then slammed her fist right on the table, nearly causing the cheap little thing to break. "Takakura, may I asked why you let that little snob of a prep stay in the club when she's never here?" Nakatomi asked as she somewhat yelled at me. "Well, um, she is rather good at magic..," my voice trailed off some as I tried to think of a better way to put it. Nakatomi just sighed and replied, "Whatever, anyways, I gotta go home and finish up my homework that I didn't get done in English class."

            I nodded some, "Well, then I guess I'll see you all tomorrow at school." Nakatomi nodded some and waved as she headed out the door, "Bye! Hey, Sae ya coming or not?" Sawanoguchi's face turned a slight crimson and she replied, "Yes! I'm coming," and softy added, "I'll see you tomorrow then, Takakura," and dashed out the door with her best friend. I gathered up my things and started to head for the door when a hand clasped around my right arm, "Did you forget about me?" Turned to see Aburatsubo and smirked some, "See ya tomorrow," and attempted to continue my way out but he still had his hand on my arm. "Is there something wrong?" I inquired, being he's my friend and all, "Oh, Takeo! I thought you'd never ask!" and with that he wrapped his arms tightly around me in a hug. I started to freak some and gave him a slight friend-like hug back and dashed out of the clubroom as quickly as I could and yelled behind myself, "See ya later!"

            "Takeo! Wait up! Don't you want to do something fun before you go home?" I heard him shout but I continued to make my mad dash home so there would be no fun for, in fact, his idea of fun scares the shit out of me when it's only the two of us.
