Chapter Two: How to get a girl in Five Days (Part I)
Haruko stared at the figures running away from her. She didn't really understand why the man she just talked to suddenly became scared and ran with the little boy running away after him with his ice cream.
'Oh well' she thought. 'Maybe I just heard them wrong."
"But I got to admit that boy was so kawaii looking at me like that." she added out loud giggling all of a sudden. 'I hope if me and Rukawa will ever have a son, he looks just like him *sigh*'
"What's so kawaii, Haruko-chan?"
Haruko turned and saw her two friends, Fuji and Matsui looking at her curiously. She smiled at them and shook at her head. "Nothing. It's just that the boy I was talking to was so kawaii!!! Come on! Let's surprise onii-chan and go to the basketball gym before we go home"
Fuji looked at her strangely but said nothing as Haruko went past them and into the basketball court. She was about to follow her when she felt a nudge at her right arm.
"What is it, Matsui?"
Matsui glance around first before whispering, "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"
Fuji just stared and looked at her expectantly. "I'm sorry. But what is it?"
"I think Haruko is in love already!"
"Why do you think so?"
"She said that boy was kawaii, right?" When Fuji nodded, she continued. "and she's actually giggling and smiling differently all of a sudden."
"But...with who, Matsui?"
"Why who else the only one I saw she was talking to was a man in his 20's you know"
"Oh." The two girls shrugged and followed their friend.

"Please! Master! I didn't know she wasn't Haruko!" a tall figure begged in front of a smaller fuming boy in front of a pastry shop. The people around turned to stare but shrugged it off, as they didn't want anything to do with them.
"You didn't know what! You didn't know! Do you have any idea that any mistakes in this operation can immediately destroy my chances of turning back to normal! What are we gonna do then, huh?! For god's sake!"
Harold just sweat dropped and decided to calm his master down. "I'm sure, we'll think of something, master."
"Like what?!" Cupid snapped looking at him with threatening eyes.
Trying to be calm, Harold cleared his throat and began, "Well...." (mission impossible theme song)
Subject: Hanamichi Sakuragi
GOAL: Operation Get the girl Haruko and Sakuragi together
Mission One: cards, flowers and chocolates (Tuesday-the next day)
Initial Notes: The idea of giving flowers, cards, chocolates to the girl you love is one sure way to win her heart. Unfortunately, this boy doesn't have the money, himself, to buy the presents so...think of a more tactical approach to deal with the problem…
Hanamichi steamed as he made his way towards the basketball gym. He still can't believe it! Today has been really a very bad day! Not only did he failed to wake up early causing him to not take an exam but he also forgot to bring his english project which acquires for 10% of his grade! To top it all off, he just got to have a detention for something he hasn't done causing him to be late for practice!
"I'll be sure to receive 3 more Gori punches for today..I swear any minute now, I'll explode!" he grumbled angrily and was about to enter the gym doors when he felt a slight tap on his shoulder. Annoyed, he turned around and saw a man in his late twenties.
"Why? What is it?! Can't you see that the tensai is already late for practice?!"
The figure just shrugged and let out a box full of flowers, love cards and chocolates. Seeing this, question marks appeared on Hanamichi's head causing him to inquire with his most intelligent response, "Eh?" (Well...at the moment...*sweat dropped*)
The man just shrugged as if it was the most normal thing to do, and cleared his throat. "Good morning, Mr.Hanamichi Sakuragi. I am a messenger from The WWWDR Radio station and you have just chosen to be the winner of the surprise box 2003 (too lazy think of something better...)."
Everyone stared.
The man just waited.
While Hanamichi just frowned obviously confused. And so he waited...
And he waited....
And he waited some more...
"err....Do you want to get your prize now?" he asked hopefully looking at the redhead.
Hanamichi just glared at him and pointed at the box. "What am I supposed to do with that box anyway?!" he asked annoyed. "I don't seem to remember entering any stupid contests!" he added making the other man sweat.
"Ah..erm..sir...uhm..this is different!" the other men began trying not to get too intimidated by the basketball player's glare. "We are the one who choose...yeah..that's right...we are the one who choose the contestant and the winners!" he finished with a smile and turn to look at Hanamichi.
Seeing a still doubtful expression on the redhead's face, he added, "Besides..uhm..those things are really useful, you know, for making the girl you love love you back."
With that Hanamichi's face brightened and blushed profusely thinking of his Haruko-chan. The man was about to sigh in relief when a dreaded voice decided to just voiced...
"Hey, Matsui. Isn't that the man you said Haruko-chan thinks as kawaii?"
As a result, he found himself in the ending line of cards, flowers and lots and lots of melted chocolate with a fuming redhead trying to be held back by several people of the just-dismissed basketball team.
Minutes later...
"uhm...ano...don't worry about it master....there are still some other ways to get him a girlfriend...hehehe" Harold just reassured just as Cupid glared.
Final Notes: The world is full of hot-tempered people and try to remember that the redhead can be sometimes slow...very slow...
Mission Two: Calls and sweet nothings? (Wednesday)
Initial notes: If the girl is too oblivious to a man's love, try expressing your feelings though words. Unfortunately, the time is too short for personal conversation and the guy is too shy so use another method...
"Is it done yet?" a small figure of a boy suddenly asked as two shadowy figures dragged an unconscious redhead inside a house small but spacious house.
"Yes, master, I already gave him some romance serum and in no time he will become a very romantic being for an hour." one of the taller figures nodded and motioned for his companion "Now Merlyna, here, a magician will then hypnotize him to call Haruko's number and viola! He'll be whispering sweet nothings to her! hehehe"
"Ok. But it better be good this time, Harold!"
"Oh but it is, master. I guarantee it. After all, who can resist a call full of sweet nothings!" with that said, Harold sighed dreamily until Merlyna motioned that his task is finished.
"oooOOHHHH...." Hanamichi groaned minutes later and after some while more, fully came back to consciousness just as soon as a resounding noise sounding suspiciously like the door of the broom closet closed. Rubbing his temples, he focused his eyes on his surroundings and found himself inside his house.
"Oh! I must have dozed off." he shrugged and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly had the urge to call the Akagi residence. Picking up the phone, he dialed Haruko's number and waited.
*ring* *ring* (Warning: I'm a girl and I don't know any romantic lines. *sniff* *sniff* I don't have a boyfriend either...so bare with me, please!)
Voice in the other line: Hello. This is the Akagi residence. Who's this?
Sak: Oh hello! This is me! Sakuragi! Sakuragi Hanamichi! *bouncing up and down*
Voice: *grunt* Why....
Sak: Why did I call? Oh nothing really...
Voice: Then-
Sak: I just had to hear your voice cause you have a very lovely voice, my sweet did you know that?
Harold and Merlyna, the magician chuckled. Cupid just shrugged and ate some ice cream. (to where he got the ice cream, I don't really know...)
Voice:...
Sak: Oh of course, you do! silly me! *nodding vigorously* but I just want to tell you anyway and also the fact that you really are beautiful you know *blush* and you know what? *blush* I like you. *blush* I have always liked you, you know... ever since the moment I saw you. *blush*
Voice:*shocked gasp*
Harold and Merlyna raised their fists triumphantly. Cupid just shrugged and continued eating.
Sak: *eyes turn watery* That's why, I'll always wait for you...until you learn to see me and my never ending love...
Harold and Merlyna sniffed. Cupid just nodded.
Sak: *sniff* *sniff* Hello? Love? Are You still there?
Voice:...
Sak: Love?
Harold and Merlyna leaned closer. Cupid just stopped.
Sak: Love? My ever dearest honey pie, munchkins, honey bun, sugar-
Voice: YOU IDIOT?! IS THIS SOME KIND OF A SICK JOKE!!! You chase my sister all around the school but then *sniff* you love me...and *sniff*...and...
. ....and the phone line went dead.
Cupid glared at the two sweating men and yelled angrily. "Okay?! What the hell did you order him to do?!!!"
Silence.
"What?! Answer!!"
Merlyna sweated heavily and replied in a trembling voice "Uhmmm....to call the number of that Haruko girl and pour out his feelings of love?.."
Silence.
"sO...that's it....call and tell..."
"..uhm...yeah...".
Silence.
"..uhm...master..."
Silence again.
*chirp* *chirp*
"Gayaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and the world was filled with the sound of maniacal laughter and shrieking voices.
"And don't you show your face in front of me again!!!! Can you believe that guy! He had just had to forget to make Hanamichi inquire first about who answered the phone before pouring out his feelings!!! And YOU?! You just have to get some magician who's stupid!!" Cupid fumed some more and glared at his remaining companion.
Harold just sweat dropped and slowly backed away.
"uhm...ano...don't worry about it master....there are still some other ways to get him a girlfriend...hehehe"
Cupid just glared even more.
Notes: A hypnotist must always be very careful in choosing his words...or his clients. *sweat dropped*
