:: chapter 9 ::
Chihiro sheepishly walked through the door to her first period class. Sheepish, because she had just been severely mauled by her fanclub again. Groaning from the scratches on her leg, she sat down heavily in her seat.
Aiko raised an eyebrow. "Again?"
Chihiro groaned. "Hai. You wouldn't believe how much those girls can claw on the floor, fighting to be the one to talk to me."
Miki sniggered. "I see you have lovers." Miki then yelped. "What'd you pinch me for?"
"Who, me?" Chihiro said with puppy eyes.
Just then, Hashi came in. Or maybe it was Haku, who could tell? They looked identical! Hashi/Haku came up to Chihiro. "Ohayo!"
Looking into his eyes, Chihiro saw a light blue. "Ohayo, Haku."
"Hey, Chihiro, will you come with me to Little Kawaii today?"
"I . . ."
"Great! I'll meet you after school at your locker!" Haku grinned and sat down.
"But . . ."
"Chihiro, konichiwa!" Hashi said, breezing through the door.
"Ohayo."
"Say," he whispered, bending down to her ear, "Come with me to that Little Kawaii place today, ok?"
"I'm . . ."
"Ok! I'll see you at your locker after school.
"But I . . ."
"Ogino, do you have something to announce to all of us?"
Chihiro sighed. "Iie, Maruimoto-san."
"Good."
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Chihiro didn't get a chance to speak to any of them that day. Whenever she tried to explain the situation, she was always cut off. Sighing with frustration, she threw her books into her locker and slammed it shut.
"Chihiro!" Haku smiled and walked towards her. "Are you . . ."
"Konichiwa!" Hashi grinned and walked towards her from the other side of the hall. "Ready . . . Haku? What are you doing here?"
"ExCUSE me, but Chihiro and I are going to Little Kawaii."
"What? Chihiro is going with me to Little Kawaii!"
Chihiro sweatdropped. "Uh, guys . . ."
"She agreed to go with me," Haku said icily.
Hashi's hands clenched into fists. "Me, floppy-bellied trout!"
"Stop describing yourself," Haku said coolly.
"I'm describing YOU!"
"How could you possibly be?"
"Because that's how you look!"
"We're TWINS, stupid!"
Chihiro felt realization wash over her. So that's why they looked so similar!
"Yeah, but I'm the better looking one."
"Only your mirror says that."
"Uh . . ." Chihiro said awkwardly. "Shall we . . ."
"Says who?"
"Me."
"You don't count!"
"Prove it."
"I don't need to prove anything."
Chihiro sweatdropped. "Guys . . ."
"Chicken."
"You!"
"Bwak bwak bwak . . ."
"You're the one acting like a chicken!"
"I'm imitating you."
"You're the mangy feathered dodo around here!"
"GUYS!!!"
Haku and Hashi looked at her in surprise. "Hai?"
"I was going to tell you guys, but neither of you would listen! So BOTH of you asked me to Little Kawaii!"
"Oh." Haku and Hashi both looked a bit sheepish.
Chihiro sighed. "Why don't we all go to Little Kawaii, together?"
"What?" Hashi jumped back in surprise and turned a surprised face to Haku. "With him?"
Haku glared at Hashi. "Don't worry, the feeling is mutual."
Groaning, she steered Haku and Hashi, who were glaring death threats at each other, out the door.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Chihiro sipped her chocolate float nervously. The three of them occupied the rounded booth at the corner of the room. Haku and Hashi sat on either side of her, glaring death threats.
She glanced to her left. Haku, sipping on his ice tea, was glaring at Hashi with burning hatred; Chihiro was sure she saw flames in his eyes. When he noticed she was looking her way, he looked down at her and smiled.
Chihiro then glanced the other way at Hashi, where he was slurping his boba. Slurping, and sending daggers at Haku.
Chihiro sighed and slurped up the last of her drink. She glanced at her watch and groaned. "Guys, it's almost six, and I promised my parent's I'd be back by then. I got to go."
"I'll pay the tab," Hashi said grandly, reaching for his wallet.
"No, I'll pay for all of us," Haku said, even grander.
"I'm paying!"
"No, I am."
"Say's who?"
"Let me think . . . me?"
"I'm paying!"
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes . . ."
"KUSO!!!"
Haku and Hashi looked at Chihiro in shock. She blushed into a vivid red; she usually never lost her temper, and even more rarely so said anything profane.
Smiling nervously, she suggested, "Why don't we all pay for ourselves?"
Haku nodded. "Ok, then."
Hashi crossed his arms. "Fine."
Chihiro paid, and waving goodbye, walked out the door.
Hashi gave a murderous look to Haku. "All because of you, she didn't have a good time."
"Hmph, I could say the same thing."
Haku reached for his wallet . . . and again . . . "Where's my wallet?" He looked at Hashi's reddening face. "Hashi . . ."
Hashi burst out laughing. "I took it out of your pocket at school right before we left! It's in the lost and found bin at school right now!"
Haku's face paled. Hashi raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you mad?"
"Of course . . . but . . . who's going to pay the tab?"
"Me, of course!" Hashi reached into his pocket.
"You can't . . ." Haku said, face paling even more.
"Why?"
"Because I did the exact same thing with your wallet."
_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Chihiro snuggled into her covers, and settled back into her pillows. Ah, what a tiring day. She turned off her lamp and closed her eyes. "I wonder what Haku and Hashi are up to now?" she murmured sleepily before dozing off.
Haku shot a evil glance at Hashi. "Arigato SO MUCH."
Hashi glared back. "You did the same thing, you know."
"Quiet!" the cook barked, his voice resounding across the room. "You still have five dollars to make up!"
Continuing to glance daggers, knives, and chainsaws at each other, the two returned to the elbow-deep dishwater.

I got 14 reviews for chapter 8! Thank you all so much! ^^ This story is now my most reviewed story, even though I've had (and still have) writer's block for about three quarters of this story. How can you all put up with me?
As for the story, well, I have no idea where I'm going. I'm not sure who's going to get Chihiro . . . I love love Haku, but I have to love Hashi too . . . after all, they are brothers. XD
Since school is starting soon, I'm going to not be able to update for long, long periods of time. Maybe once a month? This goes for all of my stories. I'm sorry, but high school is true evil. I'll try to update as soon as possible though. Thanks for reading!
