A/N: To all of you who have been wondering what the hell is going to happen with the cupids, here it is! Enjoy!

Chapter 7

Hisoka is quite the Mr. Predictable when it comes to where he goes for quiet time. Then again, a library is the obvious choice for silence. He was extremely grateful for his sanctuary and that today was Valentine's Day. The reason being it had everybody busy with trying to get their special someone, which meant he got to be alone without anybody bothering him. Well, except Tsuzuki, who, for some unknown reason, thought that Hisoka was in some kind of peril. However, he was still keeping his guard up while he read. Why? Because in his entire trek to the library, he hadn't once ran into Saya or Yuma. He distinctly remembered seeing Yuma with a shopping bag (which most likely held some sort of dress) when Terezuma opened the door to reveal their presence, and unless there was some new guy who looked even more like a chick than he did, he assumed it was for him.

This was a subject that Hisoka had yet to figure out the answer to. He had long come to terms with the fact that he had feminine features, but didn't understand how that caused some girls to go insane and dress him up as a schoolgirl or something. It was both puzzling and disturbing, so he decided to come back to it later and instead half-focus on his book, Plato's Republic.

Surprisingly, Hisoka had never really read too much of ancient Greece's philosophers, but it was increasingly difficult to put it down, especially since the book said that Plato seemed to be the world's first feminist and fascist. He was hoping that since he had finished all his work for the day, he could spend the rest of it in the library, enjoying discovering the workings of Plato's mind.

Obviously, the gods did not want him to. No more than two minutes later, Watari burst in, yelling, "Sanctuary!"

Sighing as he closed his book, Hisoka merely stared at Watari, giving him a what-the-hell-is-the-problem? look.

Seeing him and sobbing in relief, Watari threw himself on the ground and cried, "Hisoka! It's horrible!"

"What's horrible?" Hisoka calmly said, as he mentally prepared himself for the explanation.

"Saya and Yuma have snapped!"

That's a new one, Hisoka thought. "Define 'snapped' because I don't think that they were all there to begin with."

"Well, you see, we were putting up these amazing decorations and oh! you should see them! Those two have the best taste when it comes to decorating! They had these heart chains that hung down and spun when there was a breeze and-!" –Hisoka was currently glaring at him to get on with it. – "Er, right, anyway we were putting up the decorations they had just bought…"

Flashback

"Yuma, Saya, these are just gorgeous!" Wakaba said as the four were hanging up hearts.

"Thanks!" Saya and Yuma said.

"What do you think Tatsumi will say?" Watari asked with a big grin plastered on his face.

"Probably something about not spending too much on worthless things," Yuma said.

"I hope he likes them, though. You know, get him thinking about romance!"

"Me too," Wakaba sighed. "Except with Hajime-chan!"

"Don't worry," Saya said. "Tatsumi and Terazuma obviously have a thing for you two….. Hey, Yuma?"

"Hm?" Yuma said as she hung a cupid, specially made by Watari for certain reasons.

"Have we ever gotten a card or rose or anything for Valentine's Day?"

Yuma stopped where she was as she slowly answered, "No."

There was an awkward silence as the word sank into the girls' heads, mocking them with every echo. It was true. In all the years they had spread Valentine's Day joy, none had been returned. No secret admirers, no friendly roses or chocolates, not even a crappy card with a doggy making a stupid joke about how much it cares about you.

Watari was the first to say something. "Um… You two okay?" Although, he probably shouldn't have said anything at all.

"NO WE ARE NOT OKAY!" the girls shouted.

Suddenly, a thunderstorm appeared out of nowhere, blowing tissue paper and hearts all over the place. Wind blew throughout the hallways as the storm raged with incredible force around poor Watari and Wakaba. Not sure of where to go, they hung onto each other to keep from blowing away.

"What's wrong?" Wakaba asked over the whistling winds.

"What's wrong?" Yuma yelled. "WHAT'S WRONG! For years, we have worked our asses off trying to get you people together with your little crushes! And yet, have we ever gotten a valentine? NO!"

"We could have at least gotten some stupid card from a friend!" Saya shouted. "But no! None of you could take the time to remember the ones who every year try to help you all get laid! Well, as of now, we're sick of it! Why don't we have secret admirers?"

"We're hot enough, aren't we!"

"Yes!" Watari said. "Very hot!"

"Then where are our roses and chocolates? Where are our scented candles and love poems? We shall take this no longer! Watari! Give me the control."

"Yuma, let's think about this-!"

"NO! Give it to us now!"

The wind picked up a significant bit. So much so, that it was getting harder and harder to hang onto Wakaba. Watari did what had to be done. "Wakaba," he said over the noise. "You have to go."

"No, Watari!" Wakaba protested. "I can't leave you alone! I can help calm them down!"

"I'm sorry, but it's for your own safety. There's an open widow in which the wind is blowing out of. If my calculations are correct, when I let you go, you'll go out that window and be safe outside."

"But-!"

"No buts." Quickly, Watari let the girl go. "Go, Wakaba! Go and bake for your Hajime-chan!"

Just as Watari had said, she flew out the window. "Wataaaaariiiiii!"

Turning to Saya and Yuma, he said, "Now where were we?"

"Just give us the freakin' remote!" Yuma snapped.

"Alright," Watari sighed, taking out a cordless PS2 controller. "But you do realize what dangers could-"

Cutting the man off by snatching it from his hands, Saya smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"Kick ass!" Yuma cheered.

The two then made their way down the hallway after stopping the catastrophic storm they had created, leaving the floor wet and covered with soggy tissue paper and hearts.

End Flashback

After a long pause and a double blink, Hisoka finally said, "Ooookaaay."

"There's no telling what they could do!" Watari sobbed.

"Well, what exactly does the controller control?"

"The cupids around the building."

"….What?"

"Well, you see, a few years back, I made the cupids in order to win Tatsumi over for at least a night. You can program each one to track down a certain person and when they find them, they'll shoot them with their arrow. And the arrow has a special love potion in them that will make you fall in love with the person who programmed the cupid. Genius, I know!"

"What's so bad about Saya and Yuma making a person love them for one night?"

"It could be anybody! What if they try to get Tatsumi? My Tatsumi!"

"Well, why do you have the cupids if you're so worried about this?"

"I thought I might need them one day if I was especially horny."

"Ew. So what do you plan to do?"

"Not me, you."

"Excuse me?"

"Saya and Yuma have a soft spot for you, kid! I'm sure that if you just let them dress you up, then-!"

"I'm going to stop you right there. There is no way in hell I am going to dress in drag, okay? Besides, there's only two hours left in the work day. I'm sure they'll be over it by tomorrow!"

"There's no telling what they could do in two hours!"

"I have yet to see the danger in all of this."

"They could shoot Tsuzuki."

Hisoka's eyebrow twitched a bit at the statement. "Alright, I'll help. But it's not because of what you're thinking! It's just that…. I don't want Tsuzuki to do something that he might regret afterward. And I'm not letting them dress me up!"

"No problem!" Watari couldn't help but smile at Hisoka's reddened cheeks.

A/N: Whee! It's longer! Will I be able to finish before Valentine's Day? God, I hope so. Cross your fingers after you review!
