Notes: Hello everyone! I thank you all for your reviews! I'm happy that I got a couple of different opinions for a change. I just read PeachGirl six over the weekend and I really liked it! But I know what Leila Winters meant when she said that my story's plot line "branches out."

It was finally Friday and school was out for the weekend. Kairi groaned for what seemed to be the sixth time that afternoon. He had finished his homework, straightened up the house and was now bored out of his mind. He glanced at the living room clock to see what time it was but was broken from his revere by a loud knock. Piping up he jumped to his feet and eagerly opened the door. His face went blank for a moment.

"Hey girls, what are you doing here? I mean…" he laughed slightly, "This is a guy's house…" he gave his five excited fan girls a perverted grin.

"What are we here for?" one replied with a gleam in her eyes, "Our annual meeting!" They all chimed in unison as though it was the answer to all of the world's problems. "After all, what better place for the Okayasu Kairi fan club to meet than his house?" They never did cease to astound him. The girls pushed him out of the way and walked into the house. "This is where you live? It's so…normal." One girl drawled braking away from the awe of touching one of the plain white walls.

"Well, we wouldn't want to make it too nice, the neighbors sons are already jealous enough I have so much more luck with the ladies than they do." Kairi gloated leaning his head against the wall the girl's hand had touched. He offered everyone drinks and added to their conversation for a while until he eventually fazed out completely. The girls began to chat about all kind of things, but mostly about how cute Kairi was and how they loved his house. He flirted with them for a while but soon grew tired of their shallow bickering. They talked for hours and whenever he attempted to leave they would fling themselves at him. He knew that it was rude for him to leave since he was the host but all these girls talked about was their hair and eyeliner! For seven hours straight!

He walked over to the group of girls and smiled down at them. They looked up, little hearts in their eyes as he said, "Sorry ladies, meeting's over." Grumbling the fan club eventually left, leaving Kairi with yet another mess to clean up. He smiled sadly picking up the dirty dishes and placing them into the dishwasher. He just couldn't win these days. Life was simply too strange.

A chilling breeze blew Sae's skirt up reviling her panties. She gasped and grabbed at the material, pulling it down over her exposed legs. She made a right turn and walked straight into a large mall somewhat happy when she was no longer in the winds path. For some reason she had been a lot less aggressive lately than usual. At first she had not understood it herself but now it was becoming much easier for her to grasp. She was completely burned out. It may have been a combination of giving up on crushing Momo to dust and letting Goro's words shake her but she was still rather uncertain. Above all absurd things Kairi was still haunting her thoughts now and then.

Sae's dark eyes gazed about the malls stores. She growled at the happy shoppers as they walked by, she wanted to be happy too, but she wasn't. In fact she could have sworn she was anything but happy. The strange thing was, she wasn't quite mad either. Sae leaned back on the bench, her legs crossed, her arms resting over her mid section as she let out a small yawn. The feeling of sadness lingered in the air about her as though melding with her darkly shaded aura. Finding that she was tempted to doze off she stood and strode away from the bench. She knew better than to put herself in harms way. Glancing at the clock plastered on the wall next to the bathroom she decided should get home.

"THE MALL WILL BE CLOSING IN…" she heard a voice call over the loud speaker. She smiled warily and walked toward the exit in a very un-Sae like manner. Pushing the door open she felt the cold air brush against her bare legs once again. "Damn weather. It's sooooo cold." She complained, watching in slight horror as goose bumps began to appear on her pail skin. Just as she was about to go find a pay phone she saw someone she recognized, Misao-san. Running over to where the nurse was she saw that Misao was about to step inside a car. "Hello…" she greeted with a fake smile, "I'm Kushiwagi Sae," she pointed at herself, "from school." she shivered slightly, "I need a ride."

Misao returned the fake smile with an equally poor one. Kushiwagi was not one of her favorite students. However, in truth there was not much she could do but agree, after all, she was a nurse and it would be wrong to let a sixteen-year-old girl freeze to death. "I guess." She answered in a voice that relayed responsibility and that she hoped Sae would respect. Sae opened the car door and listened as Misao started up the engine. The silence was uncomfortable but nowhere near unbearable. As they turned the corner Sae crossed her legs in a defiant way and stared out the window. "Kushiwagi, where do you live?" Misao asked in a calm voice.

"One block up," she scrunched her eyes as they drove down the street and pointed out the window, "that house." She said motioned to a large brick house. Misao drove up to the house and watched as Sae exited the vehicle. Angry voices that came from the house reached her ears and surprise flashed in her eyes. For a moment she could have sworn she saw a pained expression on Saes face. "Kushiwagi, is something wrong?" Misao asked in a serious voice. "If there's anything I can do…" Sae glanced back at Misao and shook her head, "everything's fine." But before she turned Misao could have sworn that she saw a couple tears slide down her cheeks. The girl walked up the hill towards a big house that even from a distance seemed to lack the essence of love.

A/N: What do you know? Sae might have more to her than you thought? I've read Peach Girlvol. 1-6 and I flipped through vol.7. We have yet to actually find out anything about Sae other than what other people think of her and of cores what she clams to be. Do any of you readers know if we ever find out about Sae's family?

Oh yeah, did you all like the "annual meeting"! I kind of got that idea at school – I guess you could call it group brainstorming. Anyway one of my friends helped me come up with that idea. Bai bai!
