Chapter IV:

"Fuuko-san!" Yanagi called out.

"Yup?" was Fuuko's only response.

"I was just going to ask you if you would like to go to my house and we'll do our project there."

"Oh, that would be great! Now, the project would really be easy for me 'cause you and Mi-chan will help me!" Fuuko exclaimed with delight.

"Mikagami-sempai?"

"Yup!"

"So, he promised that he will help you with our term paper?"

"Ummm… actually no. I forced him. Hehehe!"

"You really are amazing, Fuuko-san."

"Huh? How could I be amazing?"

"Well, you had forced Mikagami-sempai to help you!"

"And that was amazing?"

"Yes, 'cause we all know that Mikagami-sempai is cold and distant and now he's going to help you!"

"Well, whatever you say!"

"So, will he go to your house?"

"Of course not!"

"So, where will you the project?"

"Here, at the school."

"I see… so, you wouldn't need my help anymore."

"Of course not! I still need your help! My best friend's help!" Yanagi smiled at Fuuko's sentence.

"MI-CHAN!" Fuuko yelled.

"Don't shout, you monkey!" Tokiya angrily replied.

"Ya, ya, whatever! Well, let's get to the point… you'll need to help me now!"

"Help you on what?"

"On my term paper! Remember! I want to finish it early! So, you should help me now!"

"Fine! Meet me at the library. I'll just go and get my things."

"Okiedokie! See ya at the library… Ja ne!"

"That monkey is a head ache!" Tokiya whispered.

At the library…

"Mi-chan! I'm here!" Fuuko shouted.

"Will you please keep quiet!" the librarian hissed.

"Gosh, I'm just calling Mi-chan!" Fuuko hissed in a whisper.

'Monkeys they never keep quiet!' Tokiya thought.

"Hi Mi-chan!" Fuuko greeted as Tokiya sat across her.

"So what do we do now?" Fuuko asked.

"Do your project…" Tokiya answered calmly.

"Of course! But what I mean is how do we start doing the term paper?"

"What's your chosen topic?" came Tokiya's quick question.

"What's my chosen what!"

"Your topic, the one that you will tackle with in your term paper."

"Oh well, our sensei gave us three options to choose form. First, Japan's political system then its religion and lastly its economic development."

"And what did you chose?"

"Uh- the best one!"

"And what's that?"

"Your choice!" she said with a goofy smile in her face.

"My choice?"

"Yes, your choice!"

"I knew it!" Mikagami sighed.

"So, what's it gonna be?"

"I suggest Japan's political system…"

"Okiedokie!"

"…"

"Uh-so, what to do next?"

Tokiya sighed. 'I knew it, she doesn't know what to do next.' he thought.

"Here's what to do…" Tokiya started explaining Fuuko on what to do.

The next Morning…

"Gee, Fuuko, what are those blackish rings under your eyes!" Recca said.

"Shut up!" yelled an exhausted Fuuko.

"Gee, I'm just telling you that you have those ugly eye-"

"SHUT UP!" Fuuklo cut off Recca.

"Oh, Fuuko my dear! Don't worry I will kiss it so it would fade away!" exclaimed Domon.

"YOU IDIOT!" Fuuko punched Domon sending him far away from the group.

"Calm down, Fuuko-san… now, let's make it clear. First and foremost, why are you so exhausted?" Yanagi asked.

"Well, I didn't slept well last night." Fuuko answered.

"And what happened last night that caused your tiredness?" Yanagi questioned.

"I started researching on Japan's political system last night so I only got a little sleep…" Fuuko explained.

"It's regarding our term paper. Right?" Yanagi once again asked.

"Yup! I want to finish it early so I can already have fun and also in order to pass our subject."

"Wow! I can't believe it! Your studying?" Recca teased Fuuko.

"Hanabishi!" Fuuko's temper starting to rise.

"Wooh! Can't believe it! I never thought that you cared for your grades! What has gotten into your head that made you study!"

"HANABISHI!" Fuuko burst in anger.

'Now I have to find Mi-chan. He needs to check my researches and tell me if these are right.' Fuuko thought as she walks in the corridors of the school.

As she walks she bumped into something hard.

"Owww…" she moaned while throbbing her head.

"I thought monkeys like you have good eye sights. What happened?" a deep voice said.

"Mi-chan?" Fuuko responded.

"Who do you think it is? A fellow monkey of yours?"

"Ok, stop with that! I'm not here to fight. Here take this." Fuuko handed Mikagami the pile of papers.

"What am I going to do with this junk?"

"It's not a junk, ok! Its my researches on Japan's political system, YOU IDIOT!"

"So?"

"You'll have to check if their right, get it?"

"Of course, I'm not an idiot. Unlike you…" Tokiya whispered huskily the last part.

"What did you say! Stop acting stupid and just do the work will you!'

"I'm not acting stupid, you are! And this is supposed to be your work, not mine."

"Well, you said that you'll help me!"

"I was forced to."

"Even though you are, you should still help me!"

"You know, your one annoying stupid and loud monkey!"

"Well, your one super freeze arrogant ice block!"

"Uh- can I interrupt your conversation, Mr. Mikagami." came in a masculine voice.

"WHAT!" yelled the two in unison.

"Uh-the student council meeting is already starting, Mikagami-sempai." Said the student nervously.

"Hmph, fine!" Mikagami answered.
