"Mariah?!"

"Ray?!"

Ray instantly turned red. "Uh... Hey..."

"Yeah... Hey..."

~*~*~*~*~*

Otaku smiled. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourselves!"

Tyson nodded and continued to shove food in his mouth. "I'M glad ya invited us!"

Max nodded. "Yeah Otaku!! This food tastes REALLY good!!"

Kai drank his soda. "Why do you always get beaten up?" [Er... I think Kai's a teensy bit off the subject...]

"WHAT?!" Otaku's cry caused Kai to kind of jump. Kai could see her fist shaking. Otaku gritted her teeth then calmed down slightly. "I'm sorry, didn't mean to yell."

Kai could tell that she was still angry; she practically had fire in those blue eyes!

"Okita? Okita, have you seen my glasses?" A girl who looked EXACTLY like Otaku stood at the top of the staircase, holding onto the rail very tightly.

Otaku smiled at the confused looks the Bladebreakers had on their faces. She took the glasses off and turned to the identical girl. "Yeah, Otaku, I got' em!"

The girl who looked like Otaku smiled. "Thanks, I thought I lost them again!" She began to walk down the stairs until she fell on the second last step and rolled down.

Otaku sighed. "Otaku, you're so clumsy!"

The identical girl reached for the glasses. "Thanks Okita." She stood up and dusted herself, her eyes then widened when she saw the Bladebreakers. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to intrude!"

Tyson looked from Okita to Otaku. "Um... Did I eat too much or am I seeing double?"

Max shook his head. "I'm seeing double too!"

Kenny looked hard at the two identical girls. "I'm confused..."

Even Kai was confused. [even though he'd never admit it!] "Are you two twins or something?"

Otaku no: 1 nodded. "Yup! I'm surprised that you didn't figure it out before! I'm Okita, pleasure to meet ya's all!"

"But then... If you're Otaku's twin... How come we didn't see you at school?" Tyson asked

"Well," Okita began, "Otaku and I go to different schools!"

"Why?" Max asked slowly. "If you're sisters, shouldn't you go to the same schools?"

Okita scratched her head. "Well, something about, something... And something and something..."

"What?" Kenny said in total confusion

Okita shrugged. "I don't get it myself, but that's not the point right now. The point is-" She pointed at Otaku. "YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULDN'T GET BEATEN UP AGAIN!!!!!!!!!"

Otaku looked at the floor, shifting uncomfortably. "I'm sorry... I know I promised - I didn't mean to break it - I just wanted Kaji and his friends to be happy - And they're happy when they do that - I'm REALLY sorry, sis, if there's anything I can do to make it up -"

Okita sighed. "Okay, okay... Otaku, you are a master in martial arts... I can't figure out why you don't AT LEAST defend yourself!"

"Um. I don't want to have an advantage, it wouldn't be fair..."

"If you don't mind," Kenny began nervously, "could you please tell us, why you pretended to be Otaku?"

Okita smiled then looked at Otaku nervously.

Otaku looked confused then she nodded. "Oh okay, sorry, I'll go..." With that Otaku disappeared up the staircase, before tripping on more than 3 steps.

Okita shook her head... "You got no idea of how different we are... We may look the same..."

"Look, can you please answer Kenny's question?" Kai said in that ever so I- hate-the-world monotone.

"Okay, when Otaku got home I asked her how her day was. She said it was great and they're new students or something. Then she went on about how sorry she was, 'cause she reckoned that she ruined your day. So I, being the lovely Okita Rui, decided to meet you guys! So I put on her uniform, her glasses, which I really can't see in, and I pretended to be her. If ya didn't notice, I looked around to see if anyone was around, so, ya!! [So, ya? Ooooh, these are on of those anagrams thing, right? So, ya... So, ya... Oh I get it! Soya!! Right? No? Okay.] that should be it!"

In the I-STILL-hate-world monotone Kai asked, "Why'd you want to meet us?"

Okita looked down. "Because Otaku... Doesn't have friends..."

"Why do you care?" Kai raised an eyebrow [Sheesh! That's a teensy bit cold! Well, ya can't blame him, since he didn't exactly have the most loving family in the world]

Okita looked back up to glare at Kai. "What do you mean, 'Why do you care'?! She's my sister, I'm older than her, and it's my responsibility to look after her!!!"

"Yeah Kai, chill!!" Tyson said rushing up to Okita's defence. "It's what any NORMAL person would do!"

Kai shrugged. "Whatever..."

Tyson rolled his eyes. "Just ignore him, he doesn't no nothing, anyway." When Tyson looked back at Okita, he saw tears welling up in her eyes.

Okita stood up suddenly, knowing she was about to cry. Quickly she ran out and up the stairs.

Just then Otaku appeared. She saw her sister crying. "Okita? What's wrong? Did I... Do anything to upset you? If I did, I'm sorry..."

Okita shook her head. "No, don't worry..."

"Um... Are you sure?" Otaku asked slowly. "If you don't want to tell me..."

Okita shook her head harder then ran into one of the rooms.

Otaku stood there confused. "I did something wrong, didn't I? I'm really sorry!"

Tyson shook his head. "No, ya didn't do anything wrong. Kai just said something..." Tyson turned to glare at Kai. Would you quit being so insensitive! You made a girl cry... An image of Okita popped into his head. Immediately he blushed.

Otaku knocked on the door softly. "Um, Okita? D'you need anything?"

"No! Please, just go!"

Otaku nodded. "Okay, I think I understand... Um, when you want to - I mean - If you want to talk later, I'll be here..." Slowly she walked away from the door and looked at Kai. "I-If you don't mind me asking... What did you say to Okita...?

Kai kept an impassive face, but couldn't help but feel sorry for what he had said. Those eyes... Otaku's eyes, they're making me feel... [Odd? Weird? Psychotic?] Kai shook his head quickly. "I asked why she cared."

Otaku kept a confused look on her face. "Erm, about what?"

Kai looked away from those dark green eyes. "You..."

Otaku lowered her eyes sadly. "Oh... Um..." She stood up slowly. "I better go and talk to her..."

"What're you going to say to her?" Kai asked, not a note of emotion in his voice. [Notes!! Get it!! Aw, forget it! Ooooh, marshmallows!!]

"That it's my fault..." Otaku walked slowly to Okita's room but then turned back to look at Kai. She bowed her head slightly. "I'm sorry for the trouble I caused..."

~*~*~*~*~*

The trip to the school was absolutely silent.

Ray gave Mariah a sideway glance. She was looking out the window. Man, she's beautiful... WHAT?! Have I lost it?! [Hehe, poor lil' Ray...] Ray turned to look out the window, to hide his blushing face.

Mariah turned her head slowly to look at Ray. He was looking out the window. He's sooo handsome... Huh? Did I just think that?! Mariah looked back out the window, her face as pink as her hair.

The limo slowed to a stop and the chauffer opened the door for them. "I'll be here to pick you up when you are done."

~*~*~*~*~*

Mariah looked down at the ground to hide her still pink face. Holding the handle of her viola case tightly she turned a deeper shade of pink, thinking of Ray. Oh god, why does he gotta be so cute?

Ray looked to the side, hiding his blushing face. [KAWAII!!!] Okay, Ray, get a hold of yourself!! Calm down! "S-so... "How long you been playing viola?"

Mariah was startled at the sound of his voice. "Um... About a year..."

"That's cool..."

~*~*~*~*~*

Otaku knocked on the door quietly before she entered her sister's room. "Hey Okita... Um... I'm sorry, please don't cry... I know it's my fault..."

The Bladebreakers could hear every word that was said

"No! Otaku, its MY fault! I'm your big sister... I should care more about you than myself! I'm a HORRIBLE sister!!" Okita's cries echoed in the room and by her shaky voice, it was obvious she was still crying.

Tyson glared at Kai. "See what you've done?"

Max and Kenny nodded in agreement.

"Keep your comments to yourself, Kai." Max said quietly

"Okita... It's okay, I'm not angry at you..."

Is she EVER angry? Kai glared back at Tyson.

"You should be!" Okita's voice was still shaking from the tears.

"But I'm not... Just go on and cry, it'll make you feel better..." Otaku's voice sounded concern for her sister. "And Okita... You're the best sister I ever could've asked for; I'm the bad one..."

"No you're not..."

"Compared to you I am, sis... Just rest for awhile, if you want anything, tell me..."

~*~*~*~*~*

Ray pulled out his viola. Looking at it in confusion he looked back at Mariah. "Um?"

Mariah smiled. "You hold it like this, you put your arm here and with this arm you hold it like this... Okay?"

"Um, I think so..."

The instructor clasped her hands together. "Ooooh, Ray is a quick learner!!"

~*~*~*~*~*

Otaku closed the door behind her and gave a small smile. "Don't worry, everything's okay now!"

Tyson sighed in relief. "Is Okita okay now?" I don't have a crush on her now, do I? I mean I just met her!

Otaku nodded while walking down the stairs. "Yeah, she's fine. She just needed to talk..."

Kai raised an eyebrow. Unbelievable, she didn't even fall down the stairs once! Wait, why am I even paying attention?

Otaku walked up to the table, which is until she tripped over a chair and banged into Kai's chest. [Sheesh, that's gotta hurt! Kai isn't exactly soft, ya know!!]

Kai looked down at her head shocked for words. What the- Kai felt his face go hot. Wait, am I blushing?

Otaku stood up suddenly her face red. "Ohmigod!! I am SOOOO sorry!!! I always ruin things, don't I?"

Kai looked away from the others. "Uh..." Why is my heart beating so fast? [*gasp* O_O]

"I'm sorry!! Did I hurt you?"

Tyson, Max and Kenny couldn't help but laugh.

Tyson, who was laughing the loudest, pointed at Kai. "Is Kai blushing?!"

Kai forgot that his face was red and turned to glare at them. "Shut up!"

Kenny snickered to himself quietly. "Kai IS blushing!!"

Max was howling and jumping up and down. "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!"

Kai looked immediately back at the ground. What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like this? I'm not... Oh god, please tell me that I'm not...

Otaku was now a deep shade of red. "I am sooo sorry, Kai!! I'm very clumsy, I can't help it!!"

Kai looked into those dark green eyes. He gulped and looked away. "Uh, don't sweat it..." [*gasp* Ohmigod!!! That's, like, Kai's way of saying, 'Don't sweat it!' *gasp* OHMIGOD!!! Does that mean Kai is... *GASP*] What am I doing?! I NEVER say stuff like that! Am I sick or something?! I MUST be sick!!! Is my face still red?! Why on earth am I yelling in my head?!

Otaku also had her eyes on the ground. "Um, uh..." Stuttering incoherently she felt her head spin. Huh? Why is the room...? I think I'm gonna... No, not now... Please, not again...

Otaku fell forwards, towards Kai, her eyes shut. Kai caught her but missed grabbing her arms. Instead his arms were locked around her, making it look as if he was giving her a hug. [Aw, KAWAII!!]

Kai stood in shock at Otaku's limp figure in his arms.

That very moment Ray and Mariah barged in, both very red in the face.

Ray shook his head to clear his thoughts. "So what I miss?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Autumn Garnet: Oh no! Otaku collapsed into Kai's arms... What am I talking about? KAWAII!!!

Kai: [barges in, not very pleased] What are you doing?! How could you make me do that?!

Otaku: [lying on the ground unconscious]

Autumn Garnet: Hey!! You can't just leave Otaku there!!!

Kai: I wasn't going too!!

Autumn Garnet: AHA!!! You're falling for her, aren't ya?!

Kai: [blush] Er...

Tyson: HAH!! I KNEW it!!!

Autumn Garnet: Yeah!! Majorly Kawaii-ness right, Tyson?

Tyson: Yup!

Autumn Garnet: Anyway, Kai, I think ya should take her to hospital or something.

Kai: Huh? What's wrong with her?! [actually looks concerned]

Autumn Garnet: *shrug* Don't know yet!!

Mariah: Jeez, Otaku's place is HUGE!!

Ray: Yeah, told you!

Both look at each other, and then turn away with red faces.

Autumn Garnet: Hehe, I can't WAIT 'til you two get together!!

Ray & Mariah: Wha-?!

Ray: But, uh, um...

Mariah: Er, but, uh...

Autumn Garnet: GACK!! You two are KAWAII!! Okay, anyhow, R+R you guys!! Also, if you want to flame me, please direct it to my marshmallows in the left corner!! Okay, thankies!!
