Chapter 33: Secret meetings.

Elk sat in his room, it was hot and sticky out so he had no problem leaving the window wide open and screenless, he had been sitting there for a while. It was already 2:30 A.M and the sounds coming from Mimiru's room had died down, but Bear's snoring could still be heard loud and clear. Elk sighed heavily and lay down on his bed closing his eyes " where is he?" he sighed once more but slowly opened his eyes to hear a small thud. " Hey, sorry I'm late..." Kite said as he hopped into the room landing on the floor. "Why are you late...?" Elk asked in curiousity. " Mia..kept me for a while, showing me something new..." Kite sat down next to him. "what was it?" Elk asked nervously. " She has a tail now..." Kite sighed as he watched Elk lay back down on the bed. " Hear from your girlfriend yet?" Elk asked slowly. " No, she hasn't I wonder if she's ok..." Kite sighed laying on the bed next to him. " I see.." Elk replied quietly as they shared earphones. "want some pocky?" Kite asked reaching into his pockets. "Sure" Elk replied in a monotone voice.

Elk opened his eyes slowly the sun shining onto his face, he looked over at the clock it was 8:00 a.m and Kite had obviously left. He sighed heavily feeling very tired, they had talked all night, untill they had fallen asleep. "Uhn....I need more sleep..." Elk turned over falling back asleep. Mimiru sat upright. " Uhmm....Bear......?" Mimiru asked looking up at him. " Whats up?" Bear looked up from his news paper. "uhmm....uhmmm...at night, in the middle of the night I can hear Elk talking" Mimiru stammered. Bear looked at her confused " Talking? To himself....?" Bear asked in curiousity.

" No, not to himself..." Mimiru replied.

" Then to whom? a girl? a girl has been in his room at night?" Bear wondered

" No, a boy....a boy comes into his room at night, I can hear them talking" Mimiru said looking up at him.

" Oh, I see, Thats fine...just leave it alone Mimiru, Lets pretend you never heard them talking"

" There's nothing else, Just talking...." Mimiru explained.

Bear nodded and they continued to eat their breakfast. Bear looked up from his paper again. " Where's Tsukasa?"

" Still sleeping...He's really tired..." Mimiru replied containing her laughter.

" OH..I See..." Bear winked laughing.

Mimiru looked at him her eyes slanted. " It's a little creepy when you laugh at things like that...." She laughed then too

Elk sat up looking at his window, his head bowed against his chest " Mia, when are you going to tell me these things? will you keep them from me?" he sighed and looked down at his headphones the music still playing and an empty Pocky box resting beside it.

" Still so Tired...I think I'm going to sleep in...." He said aloud.

" Hey, lets let Tsukasa and Elk get their sleep, why don't we go shopping....Their birthday is coming up soon you know..." Bear grinned standing up. " Yeah, That'll be fun let's go!" Mimiru stood up and grabbed a paper plate taking her rolled omlet with her.

" Right! Let's go!" Bear exclaimed grabbing her arm and his keys.

2:00 A.M

"So...uhmmm...anything new today?" Elk asked laying on his bed alongside Kite. " Nope, nothing new....just her bad attitude..." He frowned looking over at him. " Attitude? Bad?" Elk looked at him confused. " Yeah she was pretty mean to me" he complained as he drank some orange soda. " Thats too bad....thats she's being like that...." Elk replied sadly.

" wanna go to bed?" Elk asked.

" allright," Kite put his soda on the floor

" Nite"
