Trouble in Paradise!

I opened the envelope as Ikki and Arika argued.

I invite you to my birthday party this Sat at my house around 1:00pm. Hope you can come.

Ikki Tenryou

I looked up and smiled at the group of which everyone but Ikki and Arika were sweat dropping. Gently I touched Ikki's shoulder,

"I'll be glad to attend Ikki." I stated before gathering my things and heading home.

-------On the day------

I waited patiently for someone to open the door. Hearing a lot of shouting and bumping I started wondering if this was a good idea.

Suddenly a disgruntled Metabee flung the door open. His expression changed from angry to awe as he let me in.

"Good afternoon Metabee" I greeted as he stared up and down me, suddenly he let out a wolf whistle and hurriedly tried to look cool by leaning against the banister,

"Heeey Aia. What's up?" he purred, I rolled my eyes and picked him up,

"You are." I giggled as I carried him into the lounge, watching his expression change to delight and he hugged himself closer to me.

I looked around the quaint room at all the wrapping on the floor and smiled at Ikki and his friends sitting on the floor in the middle of the room.

"Happy Birthday Ikki!" I called as I tried to set Metabee down on the sofa. Key word: tried. It seemed Metabee wanted to be carried around the room to show off. I raised an eyebrow at the medabot and he gazed up at me with huge puppy-dog eyes,

"Pwease Aia?" he weedled, "Pweeeeease? Just over to that corner!" he pointed over to the furthest corner of the room. I sighed, he knew that I thought he was adorable and I had a weakness for little and cute people.

'I need to be harder on myself' "Alright." I sighed as I picked him up again. Then I thought of something. "What's so special about this particular corner?" I asked as I walked over.

"You'll see." Was all he said as he hugged close to me and rested his head on my shoulder. I couldn't help smiling at how sweet he looked. And innocent.... when he wasn't having a tantrum.

Suddenly he sat up and looked directly into the corner, with a look of triumph on his face. I looked up from Metabee into the corner and was shocked to see someone sitting there.

"Hah! I bet you wish it was you in Aia's arms instead, don't you Rokusho?" he mocked smirking at said medabot. Rokusho merely stared at him before looking at me.

"I could easily ask, or in your case beg, for Aia to carry me." he said still looking at me. He seemed to be asking me something with his eyes, I gazed into them deeper. Then it clicked. I smiled as I put Metabee down and walked over to him.

"Hey! What are you doing?!" yelped Metabee, running up beside me. "Don't pick up that medahobo! You don't know where he's been!" he glared at Rokusho determined to win this 'battle' as it were. I bent down and picked up Rokusho, holding him much closer than I had held Metabee, he smiled up at me and rested his head against my chest. He looked up at me with a look of amusement and I returned the look.

I turned around and carried Rokusho over to the sofa, where I sat down with Rokusho on my lap. I held him lightly so he wouldn't fall off and watched Metabee fume madly as he stomped over. I watched amazed as Metabee grappled with Rokusho, trying to drag him off my lap and get on himself.

The others watched amazed as well as the mighty, mature Rokusho gripped my legs so as not to be dragged off whilst the hot-head Metabee pulled, cursing Rokusho loudly as he did. Many sweat dropped and shook their heads, and then Ikki stood up and tried to pull Metabee off of Rokusho. This didn't have a good effect. As Ikki pulled on Metabee, Metabee grabbed Rokusho's leg so as to try and pull him off whilst Rokusho reached out to grab something to steady himself. Unfortunately, he grabbed my shirt and managed to pull it down. I turned red and squeaked in surprise as I tried to cover myself up again, Rokusho turned red with embarrassment at what he'd done and tried to help, and Ikki and Metabee gasped and tried to cover each other's eyes (or optics in Metabee's case).

'Great' I thought as I pulled my shirt on again with Rokusho spreading out his cape so as to give me some privacy, 'and this is just the start'.

Wooooo! I'm on a roll! Review and be known! ^__^
