When Yaone went in her apartment, she cooked dinner, took a shower, got dressed, brushed her teeth and sat on her bed to fix her things for school.

"I'm really glad that Kougaiji-san was there to catch me." Yaone said as she lay down on her bed and slept.

Meanwhile, at Kougaiji's house, he took a shower, ate dinner, and watched T.V.

"Ne okasan, I'm still hungry." Lirin said.

"But you just ate. You might get a tummy ache if you keep on eating Lirin." Rasetsunyo said before wiping her hands on a towel.

"Demo okasan, I'm still hungry." Lirin whined.

"Oh, Ok. But just a little." Rasetsunyo said before getting a plate, a knife, a loaf of bread, and some jam. Then she made Lirin a sandwich.

"Yay!" Lirin jumped for joy since she was going to eat again.

After a few minutes, Lirin finally finished eating her sandwich.

"Now I'm full. I'll go to sleep. Oyasumi okasan, oniichan." Lirin said before she brushed her teeth and went to bed.

"Oyasumi. Lirin" Rasetsunyo said before washing the plate Lirin used and the knife she used to spread the jam on the bread.

"Oyasumi. Maybe I should go to sleep too. I'm getting kinda tired. Oyasumi okasan." Kougaiji said before he brushed his teeth and went to bed.

The next day, Yaone ate her breakfast after she took a shower.

"I wonder what we're gonna do today. Oh well... I should go soon." Yaone said. After she washed her plate, she brushed her teeth, took her bag and left.

Kougaiji finished eating his breakfast. He brushed his teeth then left.

On the way to school, Yaone saw Kougaiji walking.

"Kougaiji-san!" Yaone said before running to him.

"Oh, Ohayo Yaone." Kougaiji greeted.

"Ohayo gozaimasu." Yaone greeted back.

"Can we go to school together?" Kougaiji said with a very slight blush on his face.

"Sure." Yaone replied.

They got to school in a couple of minutes. They both went to their lockers and got their books.

"Yaone-neechan!" Lirin said before running to Yaone.

"Hai?" Yaone said before locking her locker.

"Do you want to go with me to the library later? Onichan said he can't because he had something to do." Lirin aked.

"Sure. I was gonna study there anyway." Yaone said with a smile on her face.

"Arigato!" Lirin said before running to her classroom.

"We're gonna be late if we don't hurry." Yaone said.

"Yeah." Kougaiji replied before they went to their classroom.

"Good morning class. Well... We're gonna have a project for Science. I want you to pick a partner." The teacher said before getting a piece of paper. "Let's see... You'll have to research about the planets. I have a list here. You will have to make a model of the planet you picked. One of you will do the explaining in front. And the other will use the laptop so that everyone will be able to understand you much better. Because they will be able to see it from the blackboard. Now, please pick your partner.

"Do you want to be my partner Yaone?" Kougaiji asked with a blush on his face.

"Sure." Yaone replied.

After everyone picked their partner, the teacher asked them to pick a peace of paper from inside a box to find out what they were going to research on.

After Kougaiji picked a piece of paper, he walked to Yaone.

"What are we gonna research on?" Yaone asked.

"Mars. That's hard. Let's go to the library later." Kougaiji said before putting the piece of paper in his pocket.

"But what about Lirin-chan? She asked me to go with her there." Yaone asked.

" Well... We can go there together. We can research about Mars while she studies." Kougaiji replied.

"You can all go now." The teacher said before leaving the room.

"Let's go." Kougaiji said before going to their locker.

"Hai." Yaone replied before following Kougaiji.

When they reached their locker, they got their book and went to the Science room. When they got there, they sat down. After a few minutes, the teacher came.

"Good morning class. Did you hear about your project?" The teacher asked. They all nodded. "I see..." The teacher replied. After Science, it was Health. Kougaiji and Yaone went to the Health room after. They both sat down. After a few minutes, the teacher arrived.

"Good morning class. I'll be passing out handouts. Please read them quietly when you get yours." The teacher said before handing out the handouts. After a few minutes, they all finished reading their handouts. "Are you done reading?" The teacher asked. They were all finished. "Well... It seems that I forgot my lesson plan in my office. Please read a book or something while I'm gone." The teacher said before leaving.

Meanwhile in Goku and Lirin's class...

"Ne Goku, do you think Yaone-neechan likes oniichan?" Lirin whispered.

"I think so." Goku replied.

"Hmph. You're not interested are you?" Lirin said with a frown on her face.

"Huh? Gomen." Goku apologized.

"You're not even listening! Gomen... We're gonna get into trouble because of me. Ne Goku, what are you thinking about anyway?" Lirin said.

"Food. I'm so hungry." Goku said looking at a picture with food in it.

"Now that you mention it, I'm getting kinda hungry myself." Lirin said before looking at the same picture Goku was looking at.

During recess...

Goku and Lirin were at the cafeteria, eating all the food there. Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo were in the library researching for their project. While Kougaiji and Yaone were at the school garden talking.

"Kougaiji-san, I don't know much about you. Can you tell me about yourself? I really want to get to know you better." Yaone said with a slight blush on her face.

"Sure. Well... I have a sister Lirin. You already met her. My mom, a housewife. She decided not to work anymore since my dad is working abroad. Well... That's all I can think of. Your turn. Can you tell me about yourself?" Kougaiji asked.

"Well... My parents both live really far from here. I transferred here because of that. My mom's a nurse and my dad's a pharmacist. I'm an only child. I don't think I can think of anything else to say." Yaone said.

"When did you transfer here?" Kougaiji asked.

"Two weeks before classes started." Yaone replied before getting her bag. "I think we should go to our next class." She added.

"I guess..." Kougaiji replied before getting his bag and going to their next class.

After a few hours, they were dismissed.

"Let's go to the library. Lirin-chan might be waiting for me." Yaone said before going to the library.

"Yeah. We should start researching for our project." Kougaiji said before following Yaone to the library.

After a few minutes, they got to the library.

"Lirin-chan, I'm sorry I took so long." Yaone said before sitting down.

"That's ok. I just got here too. Ne oniichan, I thought you couldn't come." Lirin said before reading a book.

"We have to research about Mars for our project." Kougaiji said before sitting down.

"Lirin-chan, I hope you don't mind. We'll just look for a book." Yaone said before standing up.

"I don't mind." Lirin said before reading her book again.

"Arigato gozaimasu." Yaone said before looking for the book with Kougaiji.

After a few minutes, Goku arrived.

"I'm sorry I took so long." Goku said before sitting next to Lirin.

"That's ok." Lirin said before reading another book.

After a few minutes, Sanzo, Hakkai and Gojyo came in.

"Hi guys!" Goku said.

"Hey saru!" Gojyo said before sitting next to Goku.

"Hello Goku. We went here to research on our project. We'll see you later." Hakkai said before looking for the book they were going to use for their project.

"But I thought you should only have one partner and not three." Goku said with a confused face.

"There weren't enough people. That's why I had no choice but to work with Hakkai and Gojyo." Sanzo said before following Hakkai.

"See you later saru." Gojyo said before following Hakkai and Sanzo.

After an hour, Kougaiji and Yaone finally found the book they were looking for.

"It's getting late. Let's continue tomorrow." Kougaiji said before picking up his bag.

"Yeah. I still have to cook dinner." Yaone said before picking up her bag.

"Do you have plans on Friday?" Kougaiji asked.

"No. Why?" Yaone asked before putting her book in her bag.

"Well... I was wondering if you would like to eat dinner with us." Kougaiji said before putting the book they found in his bag.

"I'd love that." Yaone said with slight blush on her face.

"That's great. I'll walk you home." Kougaiji said with a slight blush on his face.

"Oniichan, you go ahead. I still have to study." Lirin said before reading another book.

"Yeah. I'll bring her home." Goku said before reading his book.

"Arigato Goku." Kougaiji said before walking Yaone home.

After a few minutes, they reached Yaone's apartment.

"Thanks for walking me home Kougaiji-san. I'll see you tomorrow. Oyasumi." Yaone said before going in her apartment.

"Oyasumi." Kougaiji said before going home.

After a few minutes, Kougaiji was home.

"Tadaima." Kougaiji said before going in the kitchen.

"Okaeri nasai!" Rasetsunyo said before going back in the kitchen. "How's school?" She asked while cooking.

"It was ok. I asked Yaone to have dinner with us on Friday. If that's fine with you." Kougaiji said before sitting down.

"That's great! I always wanted to meet her. But is it ok with her parents?" Rasetsunyo asked.

"She lives alone. She said that her parents live really far from here." Kougaiji said before eating his dinner.

"Oh... But do you think she'll be alright? I mean, is it alright for her to live alone? It isn't safe for a woman to live alone." Rasetsunyo asked with a concerned face.

"She'll be fine." Kougaiji said while eating his dinner.

"Aren't you worried about her?" Rasetsunyo asked.

"Of course I'm worried about her. She's my friend." Kougaiji said before washing his plate.

"I should stop worrying a lot." Rasetsunyo said before cleaning the sink.

After a few minutes...

"Tadaima!" Lirin said. "Thanks for bringing me home Goku. I'll see you tomorrow." Lirin said before going in the house.

"See you tomorrow." Goku said before going home.

Meenwhile at Yaone's apartment...

"I wonder if his mother will like me. I'm really glad he invited me to have dinner with them." Yaone said before washing her plate. "I should get some rest." She said before she took a shower, got dressed, brushed her teeth and went to bed.
