Konnechiwa minnnaaaa! I guess you all've noticed by now that...um…I'm kinda lacking on updates here. Reason being…I'm STUUUUUUCCKKK!! *chibi flail* It's not that I don't know what to do, no no. I know where I want to go, and where I am. Problem is I just…don't know how to get there. BUT I won't leave ya hanging (Much ^_~) SAMPLE OF NEXT CHAPTER TO PROVE I AM INDEED STILL WORKING ON IT!!!

The one with glasses looked back at the other and sweatdropped. In a moment, he had stood, walked over to the other and smacked him across the head violently.

"Don't stare, Keisuke. You'll make a bad impression for both of us."

"But…but…a hot babe just appeared out of the book!"

Keisuke. Great. Miaka's brother was a pervert. Nikyia sighed. At least she was in the right place.

"Yuuki Keisuke?" she asked, standing. The two men looked at her.

"Yes?" the perverted one replied. A grin tinted Nikyia's mouth.

"You bear little resemblance to your sister. I was expecting you to look somewhat like Miaka."

Keisuke blinked, staring again.

"You know Miaka? That means you…you must be…"

"Worthy of more respect than you're giving to her," a new voice replied with a light laugh. Nikyia turned towards the doorway. Leaning there against the closed door was a stranger, a tan-skinned man wearing the common white tunic and pants of Konan. Long brown hair was tied in a ponytail at his neck, and gold eyes grinned mischievously. An air of familiarity surrounded him.

"Who…are you?" Nikyia inquired, the other boys too dumbfounded to speak. The man smiled and walked to stand in front of her. He was at least a head taller than the goddess.  Still grinning, he proceeded to muss her hair.

"It's not polite for a nestling to fail to recognize those who are older and wiser than them no matter how many times he tries to tell her."
