Azusa and I were headed for the metro, when suddenly he yanks my arm and whispers in a conspiratorial tone " Were being followed" "By whom?" I was really surprised, but I guess it was really stupid of me to have thought that the rest of the group had not seen us leave, and knowing Ryoki, he was pissed. But, what the hell, I didn't care if they tagged along really; at least I wouldn't be alone with the "Master". They had found us out, this would turn out to be a fun afternoon after all.

"Lets go inside." We were in front of a large shopping center, the place I guessed he wanted to go before we were followed. " What are you doing, why don't we wait for them?" to tell the truth, I was thinking devious thoughts about an all out battle to the death between Ryoki and Azusa. I could see the sign already: WHICH ONE OF THESE BRAVE GUYS WILL WIN THE GIRL? CAN THE PEN TRULLY BE MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD? Find out for just the small admission price of $9.99. I would be rich, famous, and have a worthy boyfriend, oh the joy of dreaming……….

" Hello, earth to Hatsumi, are you here? I don't want them to come because I invited you, and only you. Not a whole circus." He was starting to look pissed off so I just went with him, leaving my dreams of being rich and famous behind.

A few steps behind.

" Ryoki, they went into the mall, it's going to be really hard to find them there. Maybe we should just go home. Plus Subaru is probably bored out of his mind, but not that I really care about that geek." "Oh, stop it, everyone here knows that you like him, stop being so dramatic." Akane looked away. What an ass. She hoped that they would find Hatsumi making out with Azusa just to spite Ryoki.

"No, akane. Lets stay until we find Hatsumi." A shocking event since it was Shinogu who had to go to work in half an hour and was usually the most responsible one. " There's something strange going on between those two, and I intend to find out. Ill call in to work sick." He was genuinely concerned for his sister, which was the total opposite of akane. "Why are you so worried about them Shinogu? I mean, they are practically going out already, so why not let them have their fun, who knows, they probably want to be alone."

Ryoki sent a menacing glare towards her, thereby asserting that he was Hatsumi's absolute ruler. "I doubt that she is going out with him. She's probably just being stupid as always. Shinogu is right, lets go."

Back to Hatsumi and Azusa

"In here, quickly." Azusa looked somewhat relieved that now they were out of sight. Now they could hang out just the two of them by themselves. "I think we lost them, so were good. So, wanna go see that flick we were talking about?"

I just nodded my head. Even though we were alone now, I had a feeling that we wouldn't be for long. We decided to go see lord of the rings. It had been given good reviews and the guys looked pretty hot, but not to say that the guys in her life weren't hot already.

Back to the others

" I think they are going to the movies, we can catch up with them there." Ryoki scanned the place, as if looking for a shortcut. Azusa and Hatsumi were at the other side of the food court buying the tickets, but there was a shortcut through the back of the stores that led right to the entrance of the theatres. Akane was annoyed. She wanted to go home, to make sure that Subaru hadn't gotten in trouble. Sure, he was a bit of a nerd, but to her he was kind of goofy and sweet, unlike the usual guys she hung out with.

The group rounded the corner and found themselves staring straight into the backs of Hatsumi and Azusa. They looked concentrated, so Akane decided to scare them. The look of shock on their faces was priceless. "BOO! Hey guys, what a coincidence to meet you here. You know, we are just going to watch glances at Hatsumi's ticket Lord of the rings. You guys too? How fun, we can all watch it together."

Azusa and me just stood there stunned. I thought that we had lost them in the maze of corridors and shopping stores. I was sort of relieved to see them, but Azusa looked as if about to explode. Maybe my battle would take place after all…MWAHAHAHAHAHA.

" You know, Hatsu, I don't really want to see the movie after all. Give them the tickets, we can take the tickets, anyways, I think we should get home." He looked determined to be alone with Hatsumi, which was apparent to everyone, but Ryoki was not about to let all his stalking go to waste. "Im not going to see a movie with these idiots. Besides, I agree with Azusa here. It is late. We might as well stay in the hotel down the street where I have a room."

"Ryoki is right, we might as well stay and.." " No, stupid, by we I meant you and me, not them. (whisper) you are coming with me."

"Well, if Ryoki and Hatsumi stay, then we should all stay." Yeah right, Shinogu thought, as if I'd leave you to spend the night alone in a hotel with my sister. You must think im a complete dumbass.

"Sorry, but I only have a room for two, im truly sorry guys. I did want you to come along with us." Ryoki attempted to deflect them from tagging along but was painfully taken down by Asuza. " Don't worry, pal, I've go some connections that can get us in. thank god im a super fabulous model." We were all tired, so I just decided that it would be okay if they hung out with Ryoki and me. The hard part was going to be convincing Ryoki. "Alright, its not like I really have a choice in this matter. Shit, lets go." He looked down at Hatsumi. She pretended to be sad, but he saw the twinkle in her eyes.

Hahahaha. In your face Ryoki Tachibana, my virginity stays intact tonight. Maybe this night will be fun.

Hope you enjoyed. But I want more reviews. I wont update the next chapter until I get seven more reviews, c'mon. Im being reasonable here. Or maybe bitchy. Take it as you like, but remember, I love you all. And not in the sappy way either. Oh, this is getting awkward. Remember to Review!

Happy Jenbo
