S.M: I finally am getting this Chapter up, 9 is finally here. I hope everyone's enjoying the story so far. I really hope I haven't made it too confusing I tend to do that, I also hope you'll let me know if I have, and maybe I can make it less confusing.
::Yuu, Yu-gi, Ginta and Gene.::
Yu-gi: What if she doesn't come back for us.
Gene: She will…
Ginta: YEA!!!
Yuu: Why do you think that?
Yu-gi: She will because she has to.
Ginta: She's not the type to leave her friends high and dry and with a bunch of psycho's who are trying to kill each other.
Neofire: (Panting) What makes you so sure. I know that bum and she probably will forget you, especially since she has my Quatre, and Duo.
Joe: (Stops running) SERENITY WHY?!?! How could you leave a cool guy like me for that blonde twerp, that guy with hair longer than yours and a 3-eyed freak.
Neofire: WHAT DID YOU SAY! (Yells at poor Joe and makes a hammer appear out of nowhere and chases him.)
::Invisible door opens and 4 people step put and go unnoticed by the chaos.::
S.M: STOP!!!
(All action freezes, and everyone looks to the new people in the room.)
S.M: UHM… what exactly is going on?
Yu-gi: Nothing
Gene: Yea what he said.
Yuu: Oh boy, what is wrong with all of you?
S.M: Do we have to go through this again? If nothings going on then why are Yu-gi, Gene glaring at Duo. Joe's attacking Quatre while Neofire chases him with what looks like a hammer. Heero, Trowa, and Ginta chasing each other around like you have no heads… Wait where did Izzy come from.
Izzy: Well you see when a man and a woman…
S.M: (Eyes go swirly) UGHH!!! Why are you fighting… Now?!?!
Yuu: Don't try to figure out why these people do what they do
Yu-gi: Well You see??? It's because of them…(Points to the remaining 2 guys by serenity)
Gene: Yea it's all his fault. (Points to Duo.)
S.M: (Sighs) Yue why are you still here I figured you would have left these lunatics by now. And why are you here Izzy?
Izzy: Joe called and told me about how 3 hoods kidnapped you, and I came right away. Then I saw those 2 talking about killing some Duo and Heie 3 or something. (Pointing to Yu-gi and Gene)
Yu-gi & Gene: (BLUSH from embarrassment)
Yuu: (Sighs) Idiots
S.M: Jealous
Yu-gi: (Glares) SO WHAT… ?
Gene: (Glares) That's not it.
S.M: Will someone please do a disclaimer for me? So we can get on with the story and over the insanity.
::Everyone falls anime style::
Neofire: Why would you ask that?
S.M: I asked really nice. (Puppy dog face.)
Gene: I'll do it.
Yuu: I'm leaving.
S.M: (Looks at Yuu) Face it Yuu you're never leaving. (Glares at Yuu)
???: I'll do it.
::Looks around and sees someone behind SM grabbing her and lifting her in the air.::
S.M: What the? (Looks behind her and smiles.) Motoki… (She screeched)
Motoki: Hey Seren… How's it going?
Gene: Who the hell is that guy.
Yu-gi: Not someone else she wants?
Yuu: Not another one of you freaks.
S.M: Hey everyone this is my good friends Furuhata Motoki. He's a friend of Usagi, Minako, Sakura, Mamoru and Meiling from Sailor Moon and CCS.
Motoki: Hey everybody.
::Grumbles and expletives heard from Yu-gi and gene. Complaining from Yuu, something about another mindless Serenity follower. And greetings from everyone else.::
Yu-gi: You get away from Serenity Madison!
Gene: Yea you better listen to him or I'll go OUTLAW on your ass.
::Yu-gi and Gene glare at each other.::
Motoki: Anyway… My talented author friend has created this story solely for the enjoyment of those of you who enjoy Marmalade Boy. She does not think she owns Marmalade Boy or any of the other numerous characters who make an appearance Ex: Yu Yu Hakasho, Digimon, OUTLAW STAR, Card Captor Sakura, Inuyasha or any of the other numerous characters. She hopes that you will enjoy Chapter 8 of this story…
Hiei: I've been enjoying it so far and luckily I'm not even in Marmalade boy. It's a funny story about a pesky girl and her dumb boys. (He laughs looking at Yuu, and Ginta.) So like it or I'll come after you with my demon eyes all 20 of them,,, You know what I saying… (Winks at S.M)
Quatre: She also hopes that you will grace her with your opinion no matter what it may be. She needs to know everything she can, to make it the best, of the best, of the best, with honors. Hehe… Anyway we're all looking forward to hearing what you have to say about her story. I really love that quote… If I were in MIBN I would be agent Q. I like the sound of that… Agent Q..
S.M: Also I do not own the best of the best thing he just said MIB still does.
Neofire: Look what you've done you've turned cute adorable Quatre into an idiot like you and your friends…
Gene: She really doesn't own us we really do what we want. (Glares at Yuu, looks around for Jim)
Yuu: I still, still don't think you're too sure about that. And I'm not friends with these people!
Gene: Why you…
Duo: You're friends are insane. (Walks over to S.M)
S.M: Hey everyone it's even more crowded here, so I hope you enjoy the latest chapter of 'With out me with you, With out you with me'. Miki finds out that both Yuu and Ginta hate her and are currently saying they want nothing to do with he. But do both of them really mean it? What will Miki say to them when she finally confronts the about what she knows? Also Funo-san's back in the picture could he be what she needs to get over Yuu? Can she forgive his careless actions? Or has she just begun to fight? And last but not least have I asked way to many questions here? Only time can tell.
Neofire: BUM. (8 P)
Yu-gi: (Grits his teeth)
Joe: That was too many questions.
Yue: ……
Gene: Yea luv ya seren but that was too many. (Still glares at Duo)
Duo: (looks at him strangely) Why… What?
S.M: (Blushes) …
Izzy: I have ta agree with the census to many questions.
S.M: (Sighs) Why me? Anyway I hope you enjoy the story.
With out me with you, With out you with me
Ginta and Yuu, a cold conspiracy and a conviction with forgiveness
Marmalade Boy
By: Yui
I got up early the next day and went through all my new clothes deciding what to wear.
"Today we can wear whatever we want, and I want to look good for one of rare uniform free day."
I said to myself as I searched through my clothes. I ended up wearing a pair of light pink flares that I got yesterday, and a white half shirt with long sleeves that were cut so you could see my shoulders. I inspected myself in my mirror and toyed with my bellybutton. I threw my hair in my usual ponytail, and left heading down stairs. I was a little early so I grabbed my ice cream from the freezer and picked at it.
"Black raspberry… My fav."
I said to myself. Someone walked into the kitchen but I didn't look to see who it was. I took one last bite of my ice cream and put in the fridge and headed out of the kitchen glancing at who was with me.
"Ohayou Yuu"
I greeted as I left the kitchen.
"Why are you wearing that?"
He asked, I walked back in the room and looked down at my clothes then back at Yuu.
"I thought this outfit looked good?"
I questioned. He gave me a weird look.
"You look good (Shakes Head) that's not what I mean, Why aren't you wearing your uniform?"
"Oh yeah you weren't in school this week. This Friday, well today we can wear regular clothes."
I said as I continued out of the Kitchen. I went to the front door and got on my sneakers and ran out of the door. I walked quietly to school and toyed with the ring and chain around my neck. I saw Meiko outside the school but remained slightly behind her.
"Why aren't you walking with her?"
A voice asked from behind me. I turned to see Yuu behind me wearing jeans and a button up shirt and a sweater around his neck.
"I don't feel like it. Not like it's any of your business."
I snapped, he didn't seem to care one bit.
"You mad at each other or something."
"As a matter of fact I am! But not as mad as I am with you so please leave me alone!"
I yelled and walked off past him. I got into class and angrily took my seat, sitting in silence.
"You look nice."
A voice from behind me cooed, I looked and Saw Ginta sitting at his desk.
"Ohayou Ginta"
I greeted him and went over to his desk; he just smiled at me.
"You look nice today, I remember these special days when we didn't have to wear our uniforms."
I smiled at him, and tugged at his hair.
"Ginta why'd you go blonde? I didn't recognize you with it."
He blushed and grabbed my hand off his head.
"Actually as I've grown it's lightened but not this much. I've bleached it, to make it even lighter. Is it that bad?"
He asked with a blush.
"No not at all just very different. You're kind of cute. You've got half of the female population in the school wanting you."
I laughed nervously. He looked at me with a slick smile.
"Well there's only one girl I want."
I looked at him nervously and realized something, he was still holding onto my hand. I pulled it from his and just laughed rubbing my head. He gave me a disappointed look. I saw both Meiko and Yuu walk into the class. I waved weakly to Meiko and ignored Yuu. I sat back at my desk as Ryoko-sensei walked in.
"Class we have another exchange student in our school. She's not in this class but if any of you see her try and make her feel welcome."
"Where's she from?"
A student asked.
"She too is from America in fact S-kun I think she's from the same school, she seems to know of you."
Everyone looked at Ginta and his face got really pale and I was curious as to why.
"Sensei, by a weird chance is her name Nicole Anderson?"
Everyone looked back at Ryoko-sensei except me who stared at Ginta. By the look on his face I figured he was correct, he gave me a weak smile and turned to the front of the class once again. And so did I. The class went on like always and eventually ended. Ginta and I walked to our next class Meiko walked by herself, and Yuu had his harem following him. My next class was quiet and uneventful and so was the rest of the day. I ate lunch with Meiko and Ginta and Yuu avoided me like the plague. I'm kind of glad, but really hurt. Meiko was really sad at lunch and hurt and I felt really responsible. I excused myself and walked back into the school throwing away my lunch. I went to my locker and grabbed my bag and headed out of the school I saw Yuu out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look at him but kept walking. I soon found myself at the bullet train and got aboard. I left and found myself in Hiroshima. I wondered till I came upon an apartment building that sounded familiar to me. I walked up the staircase and saw Nachan leaving as I was walking up.
"Nachan…"
I yelled. He looked up then at me with a strange smile.
"Hello Koishikawa-san."
He greeted nervously. I smiled back at him just as awkwardly.
"I came to talk to you. I'd wager you know what it's about."
He just nodded and looked away, he walked towards a little park near by and I followed. We sat on a bench in silence, till he spoke.
"Did she tell you?"
He asked, I looked up at him hurt evident in my eyes. I nodded sadly.
"So you know why I'm so upset?"
I nodded.
"But I also know Meiko loves you with all her heart she'd die for you. And she would never hurt me like that. So you have to find in tin your heart to forgive her."
I pleaded with the older men.
"I want to but… I just keep seeing her in Yuu's grip."
I look to the ground feeling angry again and clench my fists. I looked at him again.
"Nachan!!! You know how much she cares for you and you know how much she would put on the line fore you! And you know how close we are she knows I'm in love with Yuu, and she wouldn't hurt me like that. It was all Yuu wanting to get a girl away from him, and Meiko was there. If I was there or Arimi he would have done the same she was just there."
He looked at the ground once again.
"Maybe you could at least talk to her let her explain and let you know how sorry she is for herself. You 2 have been through to much to let a little misunderstanding come between you to, she needs you right now."
I told him, he looked at me again. I saw him stare at the ground in deep thought.
"Koishikawa-san, I love her more than anything. I- I was just jealous."
"Of what Nachan? In Meiko's eyes you are the ultimate, Yuu holds nothing to you."
I laughed nervously. He smiled at me and rose to his feet. I did the same. He walked over to me and hugged me.
"Thank-you. I think I'll go back with you and have a talk with her. I want to straighten things out and see what she has to say."
He said as we started for the train station. I got back just in time for school to be ending. I sighed and we went t find Meiko. We were walking and we passed 2 people I didn't expect to see together. I saw Yuu and Ginta. I waved to both of them uncomfortable as I walked by both of them looked away with out so much as a smile. I glanced at Nachan out of the corner of my eye and saw him glaring at Yuu now behind us. We made it to school in time to find Meiko on her way to her house. She looked at the of us surprised and I stayed in the background and let him approach her. They were like 2 lovers who'd been separated for centuries; Meiko looked back to see me standing behind them and ran to me. She hugged me and I slowly stepped away reassuring her that it was nothing. She looked at me with a hurt look on her face,
"Miki, Yuu and Ginta got in a fight over something and…"
She started but I interrupted her.
"But I just saw them together,"
"They found something in common."
She said solemnly. I looked at her feeling a strange feeling.
"I really think you should hear it from one of them, that is if you can get to talk to you."
She mumbled. I looked at her even more confused.
"TELL ME!"
I demanded. She looked away.
"They started to fight why I don't know but they stopped suddenly, I was with Ginta and I asked him why they started to fight he wouldn't tell me. But when I asked him why they stopped so abruptly he said they had one thing in common… You."
I looked at her amazed and blushed. She also told me that he sounded like it was something bad. I turned and left the newly reunited couple and walked alone on the streets, I found myself in front of Junk Jungle and saw 2 figures leaving together. It was Yuu and Ginta again I slowly walked up to them and said hi they both turned their heads and started to walk away from me.
"WHAT?"
I yelled to them they paused from where they were but didn't stop.
"What did I do?"
I asked to clarify. Ginta turned to face me then.
"We've come to the conclusion that you don't love either of us you're just toying with the ideas that 2 guys possible like you."
I was hurt and shocked at what Ginta had just said to me, I was momentarily speechless I was so shocked. He just stared at me with his intense eyes, they were gushing an emotion but it wasn't anger it was pain, hurt. I glared at him as I spoke.
"Ginta!!! To be completely honest I was only being this way for you. Before you decided to show up I knew whom I loved and I was going to tell you the next time you called but you showed up instead. And instead of telling you what I should have I decided to see if by hanging out with you I could make my feelings turn into more than friendship. But they didn't and never will, not that you care anyway. And I still love whom I did even if they hate me now because of you. I HATE YOU Ginta!"
I yelled as I stormed off towards home not hearing a word they muttered in my direction. Only when I reached my doorway did tears finally spring forth and I took off my shoes running to my room ignoring my mother's all, and locked the door collapsing on my bed.
"Great it's Friday… I muttered to myself."
I fell asleep and when I woke I found Chiyako and my mom sitting at my desk in my room. I blinked and looked at them confused.
"Why are…"
Was all I got out before they stared at me.
"Miki!!!"
My mom yelled.
"You've been asleep since Friday night we thought you died, Youji had to break the lock on your door."
"For sleeping a little late, it barely looks afternoon outside."
I argued with my worried mothers.
"It is… But it's Sunday."
I looked a little surprised. And glanced at the calendar on the wall, and in fact it was Sunday. I groggily got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. Luckily I didn't encounter Yuu. I came out and went into the kitchen and made myself some noodles. I sat at the kitchen table quietly and started to sip at the broth when I heard the phone ring. I waited to see if someone was going to get it but when after 2 rings no one did so, I dragged myself out of my seat and went to answer it.
"Moshi, moshi."
Silence…
"Moshi, Moshi."
I greeted once more and heard a nervous cough on the other end and finally a voice spoke.
"Hello?"
An unfamiliar and shaky male voice asked across the other end.
"Who's this?"
I asked clueless. It wasn't Ginta or Yuu so it must be for one of my parents.
"Can… Is M… May I please speak to Koishikawa Miki?"
I was surprised to say the least but answered the person on the other end.
"It's Funo."
I was again surprised.
"Why?"
I asked rather harshly. He was silent on the other end for along moment.
"I know you hate me… And you have every right to. But can we get together soon I really liked to talk to you and apologize in person."
I tried to remain mean, but I felt like I should give him a chance to apologize. I shook my head and accepted. He actually sounded happy that I gave him a chance and I had to smile at that. He told me he wanted me to go to the park in a half an hour and I hung up the phone and went back to eating my ramen. I finished and took my time getting ready. I grabbed a pair of jeans and my short sweatshirt. I took the ring and chain Ginta gave me off of my neck for the first time since I received it and ran down stairs to put on my shoes running out of the door hoping to avoid my parents. I was just outside the door when I ran into someone. I look into a pair of brown eyes framed in messy blonde hair. I apologized quickly and ran before he could say anything to me.
Once I was sure he was gone I slowed down and headed for the park. I found Funo-san sitting on a bench nervously fiddling with the zipper to his coat.
"Funo-san"
I called and waved to him, as I approached he shot his head up to look at me and nearly fell of the bench he was sitting on. I slowly went over to the bench he was sitting on and sat as far on the other end as I could. He looked at me out of the corner of his eye and then turned to face me.
"Koishikawa-san- I'm sorry. I really did overreact, and I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for?"
I asked trying to prod him to say what he's done wrong he looked around nervously again and I realized something.
"Huh? What would you have to overreact to."
He finally found my eyes and looked into them.
"I'm sorry for hitting you that was totally uncalled for and I should never have done that. And I'm sorry for saying those things about you in the first place and getting a fight with Matsuura."
He started slowly thinking about what he was going to say.
"I overreacted to Matsuura. He was always around you. And before I asked you out that time I asked him if there was anything between the two of you and he said nothing. So then I asked him if he thought I had a chance if I asked you out. And he glared me and I swore I felt it get colder. And he said, "I don't care what the hell you do. She's a pain not worth much time. BUT- if you hurt her or let her down in anyway I will personally see to it that you never have children and other worse things come your way." It really irked me that he said he didn't like you then threatened me. And that day he did it again and I hit him."
I had to take in everything he had blurted to me and try not to cry. Which was taking all my strength, Mainly what he had said about Yuu.
"I- I forgive you."
I had to force myself to say. He apologized to me so it was really only right to forgive him. I saw an apprehensive smile curve his lips.
"Since you forgive me you think you can call your hoards off of me?"
He asked me with a pleading tone sewn in his voice. I looked at him confused as to what he was talking about and he countered with an equally confused look of his own.
"You're Meiko girl has called me once to yell at me, some guy who called himself s-san called once and threatened me. But the worst was Matsuura-san. He's called me at least once everyday since I've been suspended to reassure me of how much of an ass I am. And tell me if I ever touch you again he'd make sure I regret it."
I looked at him and shrugged not really knowing what to say.
