Hello Minna-san. I have realized that you need to think of anime example; twitching eye, popping vein in forehead, chi bits (spelled right?) ext. Tropical land here we go, and karaoke. Will new love blossom?

Here we GO!

……………Last left off

"LET'S ENJOY OUR SELF!" Kimi screamed. She was running around them, pointing here and there.

"Where do you want to go, Ran?" Shinchi asked.

"Where do you think? The Mystery Coaster." She said.

"That again. Fine let's go." He said, walking to it. (Gomen I don't know the map of tropical land, but the fountain is in Science area. But that's all I know.)

They got in line and hey, they got the same seats again. Kimi waited since she doesn't like Roller Coasters. When it was full they inclined upwards. It was Shinchi who gripped on her hand, smiling before dropping. Screams came from everyone, could hurt anyone's ears. It was soon ended and the screaming died. They hopped off, walking towards Kimi. They went more rides till lunch and ate. They got hamburgers and sat on a bench. Girls sitting, Shinchi standing. "I'm Tired." He said.

"Already! Jeez, you're hopeless." Kimi said. Ran nodded. It was 12:30 by the time they got done.

"Let's go on a water ride." Ran said.

"But I don't want my pretty, clean, green jacket to get dirty." He said.

"HA! As if it's clean. Take off your jacket and look under the hood." Kimi said. He unzipped it to show a blue Tee-shirt, and looked under the hood.

"What's that?" he said, looking at a blurred red streak.

"That's from last time you came here. You got knocked out for they could give you the pill, Right?" she asked, receiving a nod, "Well, When you get it by a metal pipe, you bleed, Right? And it's blurred cause from days your beloved Angle, scrubbing her fingers off." She finished.

He clutched the back of his head. "GOD! Don't talk about it. That was painful!" he yelled. He looked around, and then his watch. He grabbed Ran's hand and dragged her off, Kimi closely following. He stopped in the center off an opening. "Do you want me to count down again?" He asked.

"Yeah!" Ran said.

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" he said, water shooting around them.

"Ah. Pretty." Ran said. It died down.

"There you go. Happy now," he said, she nodded.

"Thank you." She said. He blushed, but hid it.

"Let's go ride something else." Said the ignored Kimi. They went all over from more roller coasters, Slides, and little shows. Some were better then others but the best one was the Mystery Coaster, which was rode again. At 7:30 the left, to go to karaoke.

"La, la, la. LAAAA!" Kimi sang, which busted they ear drums. "Oba-Chan, I'm here." She said.

"Oh welcome back, Kudo-Chan, Kudo-sama, and who's this young girl." The lady asked.

"Mouri Ran." Ran said.

"Ah, well you get a window room tonight." The lady said, taking them to a room. "Enjoy." She said before leaving.

It was a purple room, with a window, and a tiny stage with roulette by it. "What's that?" Ran asked pointing to the roulette.

"It picks out who gets to sing." She answered pointing to there names. "Well get comfy." She said. It started spinning, and landed on Shinchi.

"No." was the only word he said.

"Why not. It's because you don't like singing or because you know the fact you tone-deaf." She said "Fine let's do duet mode." She said before hitting a button. It started to spin again, landing on Kimi. "Yeah, come on." She dragged him on stage. It was 'Kimi ga Ireabe'

She started to sing, Shinchi sneaking away.

"utsumuku sono senaka ni itai ame wa tsukisasaru inoru omoide mite ita" she was better then anyone Ran heard. "kono yo ni moshimo kasa ga tatta hitotsu da to shite mo sagashite KIMI ni watasu yo" she swayed. "nanimo dekinai kedo KIMI no kawari nureru kurai wake mo nai sa onegai sono nayami wo douka watashi ni uchiakete" (Well you get my point, don't you.)

The song ended. Ran clapped, and then the Roulette was spinning, landed on Ran. She stood up and grabbed the microphone from Kimi. Ran didn't know what to sing 'this or this. Hmmm…' she thought.

"I know let's get drunk." Said Kimi.

"Me and Ran…" he got cut off.

"Ran and I." Kimi said.

"Ran and I are too young. But you can." Shinchi said. Kimi went down to the kitchen and brought 3 beers.

She guzzled on the first one. "Here Ran." She offered.

"Thanks." she said taking it.

"Ran!" he screamed.

"Come on, you drank before. When Heiji gave you something and you drank it behind my back." She said.

"Fine. Give me one." He asked, Kimi handing him one though he only sipped it.

"Now go sing Ran" she got woozy. She went up to sing, Shinchi trying to take a big gulp but didn't. "Hey Ran come over there." Kimi said pointing where she was, Shinchi guessed the beer kicked in. Ran stumbled over there. They whispered, giggling, and hiccupping.

Shinchi took another sip and they tilted it upwards a little. They were laughing as he swallowed. Ran and Kimi were having a competition on who could walk in a line. But since they were drunk they couldn't tell who won. And Shinchi, being so drunk, went to sing. It was horrible, though it sounded good to them. They all stopped to relax.

"Time's up, girl and detective wannabe. We have to clean up." Kimi said, cleaning up. They left, trying not to stumble over anything. "Bye, oba-chan. See you later." She said. The lady nodded.

When they got home, the drunkenness wore off. Shinchi and Ran scrubed their teeth for a hour. Then they went to bed. Kimi was sleeping in her room. At 1:00 a.m. Ran came to talk with Kimi. "Why does Shinchi acted like he doesn't love me." Asked Ran sitting by Kimi.

"Have you heard of the porcupine's dilemma?" she asked, Ran shaking her head "Well, there's this porcupine who can't love anyone our he'll hurt them. Get why now?" she asked Ran.

"Thanks." She said walking out of the room and Into Shinchi's.

"Who's there?" he asked.

"Me." She said.

"Oh. Hi Ran. You can sleep with me." He said. She crawled under the covers, not facing him. "What's wrong?" he asked sincerely.

"Why are you afraid?" she asked.

"Of what?" he asked back.

"Of loving me. You act like you don't love me." She finished.

"I… I…" he couldn't find the words for it. He gave up on words. He pushed on her shoulder, making her face the ceiling. He hovered over her and immediately put his mouth on her mouth. She relaxed under his touch, and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He broke up the kiss "I love you." He whispered.

"Me too." She said, hugging him, falling asleep.

……………………Next Day

Ran awoke, sitting up and stretching. "Wake up, Shinchi. Time for school." She whispered in his ear.

"Hmm." He started to wake. "School sucks." He said, rolling over to fall asleep again.

"Well, we have to do it." She answered.

"Okay. What do want me to call you now? Sensei?" he asked. She lightly kissed him on the cheek.

"No, you may not." She left the room to get dressed. Shinchi got up and dressed. He went down just in time to grab toast.

"Good morin', Kimi." He said. She nodded, chewing her bread.

"Coffee." She said, pushing it towards him. He sat, sipping his coffee. Ran sat there twitching at the uneasy silence.

"Eh…um." Ran got 'cop stares' from them.

"Nani?" they said in unison.

"Sch… School." She said pointing at the clock.

"Let's go then." Kimi said, grabbing her school bag. They walked, in uneasy silence. "Stop bumping into me." Kimi said.

"I'm not. You're about to shove me in the middle of the rode." He answered.

"Look at how much sidewalk you have." She yelled. Ran was uncomfortable.

They got to school in one piece, kinda. They were fighting right out side the class door. "DUMBASS! What the hell you mean by I had more sidewalk?" she said.

"You did." He said, flinging the door open.

"You walk like Bigfoot though." She answered. Half of the class was there, mostly the guys.

"Hey, His back." One of them answered, being ignored.

"You had the whole friggin' side walk." He said, Ran just sat down at her seat, still watching the fight.

"I just had enough of you're mouth. AHHHH!" Kimi screamed, before grabbing his neck, strangling him. He put his arms around her's.

"Wow! Shinchi is going to be strangled. Everybody Knows Kimi-Chan is stronger then everybody, except Ran-san." A guy said. It looked not like a play fight but a true one that looked like Kimi could kill him at anytime.

"You're a baka." She said.

"You Too." He said, flinging her off him. Sparks flying in to each other eyes. She walked up too him, and slapped him. He slapped back.

"SISSY FIGHT!" another boy called out. Ran stood up and ran over too them.

"stop" she said. SLAP. "STOP!" she screamed. They stopped, faces red from each other.

The teacher came in. "Sit down, I'm the new Home room teacher. Mr.Nakimori. Why is you two's face red?" he asked Shinchi and Kimi.

"I love my brother SO much, I blushed." She said hugging him.

"Me too." He said, hugging her back.

"Whatever. Sit down." He said, everybody sitting down. Class ended, when the bell rang. Next was P.E. The boys dressed, and the girls too. The girls and boys were doing basketball.

"One short… Kimi come here." The boy's teacher said. She ran over there. "You get to play basketball with the guys today.

Score, Score, Score was the only thing the guys didn't do, but Kimi. "Come on coach. She's ruining our pride." One guy said.

"P.E. is over anyway. Get dressed" he called over the school yard. It was time for lunch then. (Schools usually pack lunch's and then eat them over the yard, classroom, or roof.). Shinchi went to the roof, of course Ran followed. Kimi was already there.

"Goody. I get to eat with my 'lovely brother." She quoted herself.

"Why are you guys so mad at each other?" Ran asked. But they couldn't answered, since Sonoko came bouncing over to them.

"RAN, SHINCHI-KUN." She yelled at them. "Hi, Ran. Why's your house for sell?" she asked. They sweated, knowing this question would come up.

"Uhh…" Ran tried to answer.

"Don't Tell me… That…That… You live together." Sonoko said, pulling a hand to her mouth, in disgust.

"Well It's cause her.." he stopped.

"My parents died." Ran finished. It went silent.

"I have no problem with you living with him." She said. Kimi was just eating. "So. Dose this means you confessed." Sonoko whispered.

"No, he did." She said grinning.

"Hey, don't say that." Shinchi said. Kimi got done and left unnoticed, Leaving a feather behind. Shinchi noticed the feather and picked it up, examining it.

"What murder case is now." Said Sonoko, from behind him.

"Nothing." He said, putting it away.

More classes went by like a blink of an eye. Shinchi meet up with Ran and started to walk home. Kimi was 10 yards in front of them. Another feather fell, and she flinched. He picked it up, putting it in his pocket. When they got home Kimi went up to her room.

"What's her problem?" asked Ran. He shrugged, walking towards the library. He went over to her books, grabbing A Tenshi Guide. And looked through it. And he saw this :When a feather is left behind it usually means great stress or unloved from the current person that the angle chose. He put it away 'so more people feel unloved.' He thought.
