A/N: :::sigh:::: Finals are finally over ::phew::: I think I did good on all of them, well except Bio and English.

Those two are my honors classes, and boy I thought the one for English will be a piece of cake, but it wasn't.

I just hope I get a good grade on the two them because it will affect our grade by 10%, and it will affect my

grade a lot because honors classes affects your GPA a lot more than the regular classes do. Thankz to all

Chapter 6: Mansion and old bestfriend



Miaka was amazed at the sight that is in front of her eyes. Tamahome's house sure is bigger than

hers, the house almost...no...it is a mansion. Tamahome held on to her arm and led her inside.

Tamahome opened the huge, heavy, oak doors and went in. Miaka was dazed at the sight. The

house was finely built, with a huge golden chandelier hanging on the ceiling. The room sparkled, as if it was

covered with glimmery fairy dusts. ( Ok, pretty stupid, but can't think of anything)

" Wow," Miaka exclaimed. She turned to look at Tamahome, and he just shrugged in a nonchalant

way. As if everything he has doesn't matter to him at all. " Dang, you're rich," Miaka couldn't help but saying.

" You came here to learn stuffs about me, not about the house remember," Tamahome took his hands

from Miaka's arm, and jammed it into his pockets. " Shall we get going?"

" Hey, don't blame me about not being able to stop myself from drooling because of this house," Miaka

said sarcastically. " I didn't know until now that you actually live in a big mansion like this."

" Not a good time to talk about the mansion right now, come on let's go. I think my cousin's upstairs practicing

her guitar." Tamahome started walking towards the stairs.

" Oooohhhhh, someone is actually the music type in your family. How about you? Do you play any instruments?

Do you even listen to music?" She followed closely to Tamahome, trying to keep up with his strides on the steps.

" You can ask me that later. For now, let's head on to my cousin. I told her that a friend of mine is coming

today, I called her a while ago. I always have to inform them if someone's coming home with me, its just a thing we do

ya know."

Miaka suddenly found the floor interesting. She's playing everything that Tamahome just said in her mind.

* Did he just say that I was a friend of his? Hmmmm, okay maybe he's not that bad.* Miaka smiled to herself, and

looked up to find Tamahome walking backwards and staring intently at her.

Her eyebrows rose, " What?" Instead of replying, Tamahome turned around, and had a peaceful smile in

his face. He finds himself rather very attracted to Miaka, a girl he just met, it hadn't even been a day yet.

" Hey, are we there yet, I'm tired of walking."

" You're such a weakling Mi-chan. Come on, we're almost there." Tamahome tugged her arm, and Miaka

rolled her eyes and followed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

They arrived at the music room, as what Tamahome said it was. Miaka could instantly hear the sounds of a

guitar being played. Tamahome opened the door with ease, and peeked in. He motioned Miaka to come in with a simple

wave of his hand. Miaka followed him inside, and she saw someone sitting in the small couch on the side, beside the piano.

Miaka was a bit startled when Tamahome leaned in and whispered to her ear, " That's her, that's my cousin."

Miaka couldn't see her face because she wasn't facing them, but she had a long violet hair. Miaka listened intently

to the music that was echoing through the room. The plucked harmony brought a soothing sound to Miaka's ears, although,

that music kind of reminded her about something..or..someone.

Tamahome's cousin started humming out the tune, as she plucked the strings of the guitar, unaware of her two

visitors. She started to sing out loud, " ~ I would always be here for you, just call my name and I'll be there, 'cause I am your

bestfriend."

Miaka started humming the tune too, not noticing herself actually singing the song too. "~ I'll be your protector,

defender, whatever you want me to be, 'cause I am your bestfriend." Miaka sang the last sentence out loud, and the music

suddenly ceased.

Miaka blinked at what she just did. She noticed Tamahome giving her a dazzled look, and she turned her head

around as she heard someone said her name, " Miaka!!"

The girl was now standing up, looking at her with bewilderment, and for a moment there she doesn't know who

that girl is, then out of nowhere, Miaka yelled out, " Nuriko?!"

" Miaka?!"

Miaka ran up to Nuriko and hugged her, " What the heck are you doing here," both blurted out in unison.

Miaka explained everything, and a long conversation erupted between them. Tamahome watched them both,

and decided to find a place to sit down. He slumped down into the nearest couch that he saw, and laid his head back

and listened to the two's conversation. (A/N: I'm making Nuriko a girl in this one, I just can't find a spot to where I can

put her as a guy, so sorry.)

He just found out that Nuriko and Miaka are actually bestfriends back in Miaka's old school. He was relieved

that Nuriko liked Miaka, because when Nuriko dislikes someone, she tries to seperate them from Tamahome. Well, no one

actually went through to that one yet, but Tamahome still is nervous.

" Hey Tamahome, you never told me that your cousin is actually Nuriko."

" Well, you never asked," Tamahome replied sarcastically. He's a bit annoyed that Miaka isn't spending her time

with him instead.

" Oh shoot," Miaka didn't even reply to Tamahome's sarcastic response," my mom's gonna kill me, I told her

I'm gonna be home before six, and its already past 6. I gotta go," Miaka picked up her bakpack that was laying on the

ground, and was about to say her goodbyes when Tamahome held her in the arm.

" We haven't even worked with the project yet and you're going already?"

" I'm so sorry, maybe we can do it tomorrow."

" Tama, let go of Miaka and let her go home. I've encountered her mom before, and one time when we

came home late, her mom was so furious about it. So unless you wanna see her step into this house again, you'll let

her go now." Nuriko stood up, picked up her guitar, and made her way to the door. " See ya Miaka, take her to the door

Tama."

Nuriko walked out and closed the door behind her. Tamahome let go of Miaka's arm, and said," Ok, I'll

let you go now. We can't work tomorrow or the next day either. I'm gonna be out of town. Me and Nuriko have to go

visit a cousin of ours that just came from America."

" Oh I see, that's ok, we still have Monday and Tuesday to finish the work." So that means, you won't be

coming with us tomorrow to the mall?"

" Guess not, but don't you dare turn to any other guy alright," Tamahome winked at her playfully, and Miaka

just rolled her eyes in reply.

~*~*~*~

Tamahome led her to the door, and asked, " Do you want me to drop you off? Its already dark outside and I

don't want you to go out there alone."

" No need to, I just called my mom to pick me up, and good thing she didn't get mad, or maybe she did but

when I told her about Nuriko, she seemed glad."

Beep, Beep. A car honked outside, which means that Miaka's mom is outside. " So, I guess I'll see you on

Monday. Bye."

" Alright bye," Tamahome watched as Miaka went down the steps. She stepped in to the car, and waved

back to him, and he waved back and watched as the car disappear from view. " Bye, Mi-chan."
