(A/N) Well, another chapter up. Kasasagi gets a personality, Maku explains her origins, and we finally get to see the Where the Magic Happens board! There's the implied lemon I was telling you about, JJ!

Kasasagi

The first thing I noticed about her when she walked in was that she was gorgeous. Long, flowing hair that fell mostly down her back, but had two parts hanging from behind her ears and down her chest, looking so soft and smooth that I found it hard not to grab it. Okay, so it was purple, but who doesn't dye their hair these days? Perfect curves, large blue eyes from behind square glasses propped low on her nose. Her shirt had the infinity symbol followed by a question mark. Not too sure what that meant, but boy was she beautiful.

Reiki tapped my shoulder and muttered quietly. "Kasasagi, you okay?" That snapped me out of my reverie. I shook my head vigorously and grinned at him. "Yeah, fine."

She walked purposefully from the doorway towards Taikoubou, glaring down at him thoughtfully. Since she was at least half a head taller than him, it wasn't hard for her. He blinked up at her, confused. "Uh, can I help you?' She cocked an eyebrow at him suspiciously. "No, it's just that I would expect Taigong-wang, destroyer of Chinese dynasties, to be taller than 5"2."

Taikoubou twitched and looked down. "…Shut up." Talis popped up behind him and smirked. "He's 5"3, biatch." Youzen joined in and started whining. "I helped with the dynasties too!"

I took the opportunity to walk over. "Hi. I'm Kasasagi. Can I take you to bed and make sweet love to you?"

This prompted everyone to go quiet and look at me, with expressions ranging from shock to wonder to 'holy crap that was forward'.

Reiki took the opportunity to join in as well. "Only if I can watch." Sadly, he was dragged away by a red-faced Maku, most likely to be beaten into a bloody pulp and left for dead.

Tal spoke next after that. "Wait… You're… Huh?"

Jahiro had been standing nearby, silent until now. "What my mate is attempting to say and failing pitifully at is; 'You're lesbian?'"

It was my turn to look at them in shock. "What, did you think I hung out with Ryu because of her stunning personality?"

Everybody looked at each other like 'She has a point'.

The purple-haired beauty was still staring at me, mouth agape, when Aiko came down the stairs, yelling something about Tal's headboard and how she was going to burn it.

"TAL! What the HELL! Where the Magic Happens? Couldn't you be more original? SEXCAPADES? Are you INSANE or just a whore?"

Talis grinned maniacally. "Both, Aiko-chan!"

Another girl with short, flippy brown hair walked in the door, accompanied by a silver-haired boy with headphones around his neck. She was wearing a yellow dress that flared out after her waist and had an owl on the chest. Little flowers were sprinkled in her hair, and her shoes were tall yellow lace up boots. Her companion was just wearing jeans and a shirt, and had a bag slung over his shoulder. The girl grinned and waved at my purple haired love, despite the fact that she was facing towards us and unable to see the girl. "Hey, Atsuko! You're early again!" Jahiro smiled calmly and greeted the two newcomers. "Ah, our first customers of the day." The girl looked at her watch and grimaced. "That's not a good sign. Think we should go, Gin?" The boy looked at her with heavy lidded eyes. "It's just cause it's new, Yukiko."

Atsuko still had not moved. I sighed. "I guess that's a no. Ah well."

Gin raised an eyebrow and peered at her through his bangs. "A no to what?"

Yukiko jumped up and down. "I bet she asked you on a date! Oooooh, word gets around fast! I still think your sister's a bitch, though."

At this, Atsuko finally moved. Whirled, to be precise. Turning on the girl behind her, she exploded as her face coloured. "This has nothing to do with that! She's a demon from the fifteenth century! They all are! I bet it's a job requirement here!"

Once again, it was Tal who broke the silence first. "Sixteenth century, actually."

Maku, who had just come back into the main room from the kitchen, decided to join the conversation once more. "And I'm human. Or mostly, anyway." Aiko looked curiously at her. "What's the part other than the mostly?" Maku grinned, her eyes closed and she gave a peace sign. "I was gonna be a doushi, but I ran off with a paopei before I could actually learn anything of value."

Taikoubou looked vaguely surprised. "What paopei do you have?" Maku grinned again and pointed to the silver ribbon on her head, earning a sweatdrop from the rest of the group. Maku turned to Aiko. "What were you yelling about earlier? I heard you from outside."

Aiko twitched. "Know how Kuniko is kicking us out of the second floor to make more restaurant space? Well, we're moving in with Tal on the third floor, and she has an old Western-style bed, which had a headboard and… Kami, I have to show you." With that, the black-haired hybrid grabbed Maku and Jahiro, who were in turn followed by the rest of the group upstairs.

And Aiko was right, you really did have to see it.

(Youzen is the Genius Douche!)

Everybody stared. Youzen ventured a question, ignoring the douche comment. "What do the names represent?" Talis smiled. "Those are the guys I wanna screw!"

Jahiro winced at how public this was. "And the x's?" More grinning from Tal. "One for every time!' Taikoubou twitched. "Why is my name there?" Talis grinned even wider. "Oh, don't worry, that's just there to piss off Aiko. And I guess you're pretty cute, too."

A snarl was heard as Aiko lunged for Tal's throat.

Jahiro managed to hold her back as he asked "So, where are we gonna stay?" Maku was rummaging through the closet of the large, one-room (or so) flat. "There's futons in here, we can spread them out by the couch. I don't think anybody wants to use that bed anymore." A shudder passed through the group.

I raised my hand dutifully. "Don't put one out for me, I'm sleeping on the roof." Youzen blinked and stared at me. "On what?" I stared right back. "Hello? I'm a magpie demon. I'm gonna sleep in a tree. There are a few potted ones up there, maybe I'll string a hammock up."

Breathing heavily and covered in bruises, Reiki finally joined us. "What's going on?"

Maku smiled and pointed at him. "You're gonna make us some peanut balls!"

Blinking Reiki paused for a long moment, then ran into the flat's kitchen. "Whoohoo! Cooking!"
