I think I'm a magnet for blunt objects and pain...

I'm part of the Campus Cop Duklyon, so I sort of expect to get hit. It's all part of the job. But sometimes, I think it's just kind of ridiculous.

Take the first time we met Sukiyabashi for instance. He tried to strangle me with an octopus monster.

Then Takepon cut me free and together we blew it up.

Of course, the first thing that happened when we got into class was the teacher hit us both on the heads with a rolled up report and told us to clean the class room. Like I said, it's all part of the job.

One time Sukiyabashi, Takepon and I were having a nice peaceful picnic breakfast on campus. Erii comes up and hits both Takepon and me with the mallets for some reason or another. And then punches me when I ask a simple question.

Fortunately, Takepon caught me. He's helpful like that. He held me upright until the world stopped spinning and I could re-locate my jaw.

Another part of the job is that we get malleted if we're late arriving to an emergency. Sometimes I wonder if Erii is going to dress up as Tira Misu from Bakuretsu Hunters for one of these costume parties that are held on campus. I think Sukiyabashi would probably enjoy that. But then he's also the one dating her. Really have to wonder about him sometimes. But he doesn't get hit by her nearly as often as she hits me.

She also doesn't hit Takepon as often. I think his kendo skills make him better at dodging.

Like that one time Campus Cop Duklyon did a dramatic entrance in the Greenhouse while it was under attack. What happens? A beam falls on my head because the monster is trying to suck up all the fruits and nuts for the Imonoyama Shoutengai to steal. Erii ends up blasting us to stop the creature and the bad guys get away.

And when I ask about Sukiyabashi afterward, she punches me in the face AGAIN.

Takepon was right there, helping me sit up almost immediately.

I think he's gotten used to it. When I asked Erii about the 20 Mensou vs. Duklyon school play, he had a box of tissues handy for when I went flying again because of Erii's fist.

She's got a mean fist by the way. Takepon's first aid skills are also getting much better as time goes on.

People often times say that Takeshi is cold, but I know that's not true. Under that scowling facade, his touch is actually warm and gentle. And unlike other people, he's never tried to hit me. He'll occasionally get mad and chase me, which is always fun because I'm faster than him, and then when he does catch me, he just drapes one hand around my neck and rubs his knuckles into my head, And it's always playful, no matter how much he growls. I wouldn't let him catch me otherwise.

The one thing he does try to do on a regular basis is try to suffocate me when ever I'm about to mention that we're Duklyon, but I don't mind.

If he would just move his hands down about a foot, it would make for a very nice hug.

Fin.

Um... ^^;; yeah.
