A/N: this chapter is a little bit of everything… I hope.

Chpt.4-Actions and future plans

Two months have passed since Misako moved in…

"Tohru," Misako walked into Tohru's bedroom as she was brushing her hair. "Why don't we ever have a party?" Tohru set the brush down next to the picture of her mother. Misako stared at it.

"Oh… I don't know. But I think we should, let's ask Shigure." Tohru ran out the room. "Shigure-san!" Misako picked up the framed picture and stared at it.

I guess we're not that different after all… Misako set the photo back down and went to catch up with Tohru. She was talking with Shigure already.

"I don't think it would be such a good idea to have it in this house, but I think we could do it somewhere else." Shigure thought. "I know just the place! Ayame was supposed to come over for the weekend and tell me all about his new house. I don't think he would mind if you had your little party there."

Tohru was overjoyed. "Oh that wonderful isn't Misako?" she jumped up and down. "Let's call him to make sure." She grabbed the phone.

"No need for a wasted phone call," Shigure said. "He's under the table." Tohru bent down and looked under the table. Sure enough, Ayame was fast asleep under the table… or so Tohru thought. Misako said nothing but kept her distance.

"Ah… Ayame-san. A-are you ok?" Tohru whispered. Ayame sprang up.

"But of course my dear Tohru!" Tohru sat back. "Now I have heard about your party but I just wanted you to know that I have a pool as well." Tohru got all happy.

Misako stepped into the picture. "Uh… Ayame, you're the tailor right?" Ayame nodded. "Then who's the cook in this family?" Shigure and Ayame burst out laughing. Misako left and pulled Tohru with her.

"Tohru, I have to do something…" Tohru stood in front of her door saying nothing. "Alone. So bye." She closed the door.

The next day…

Misako walked into school looking a little tired; but then again, she never did like the spring season. The entire gang was sitting and talking, Kyo looked bored as hell. Misako handed everyone an ankle bracelet. They all stared at her.

"Uh… thanks?" Haru looked at it. "But I already have bracelets." He handed it to her. She bent down and lifted his pants.

"No, they're ankle bracelets. Wear them, I made them." Misako got up and everyone clasped it on. Momiji liked it especially.

Arisa, Kakeru and Hanajima went over to grab something from the vending machines. Haru looked at Misako seriously. "Ok, now what do these things really do Misako?"

"Well, me and Tohru are having a party on Sunday so… I made these. I call them Spirit holders. It prevents you from turning into an animal if hugged by the opposite sex." Misako grinned.

"You m-mean I can hug Yuki right now?" Tohru asked, smiling. Misako nodded. Tohru squealed with laughter and jumped on Yuki who smiled and hugged her back.

Misako turned to sit down but instead she fell over onto the floor. "Oof! Damn my clumsiness!" she rubbed her butt.

"You ok Miki?" Kyo was on one knee holding out his hand to her. She took it and he helped her up but didn't let go. "Miki, are you alright?"

"Yeah, no biggie." She dusted herself off. "Hey, has anyone ever been on a roller coaster before?" everyone's hand shot up, even Tohru and Momiji's.

"Why do you ask?" Haru asked, picking at his nails. "You've never been on one before?" Misako shook her head.

"Nuh-uh. I'm afraid of heights." Kyo grinned and she suddenly felt her feet left off the ground. Someone was picking her up. "Oh my god! Put me down!" she looked and saw orange hair. "Kyo, put me down!" she kicked her legs.

Haru laughed along with Haru. "Not until you get over you're fear. It's not that bad. Just don't look down." Misako looked down and immediately stopped kicking her legs. She wrapped her arms around Kyo's neck and buried her face in his neck.

"D-don't let go. Please," she looked him in the eyes. "Don't let go Kyo." She sniffled and buried her head again.

Kyo blushed. "Uh…" Hanajima was shaking her hand and Arisa was grinning at him. "It was just a joke?" it took a while to convince Misako to get off of him. In the end, he ended up getting on all fours and lowering her to the floor.

Misako sprayed him with water and ran off behind Tohru. "Gyaah!"

"Don't worry I'll get you Friday!" Kyo reassured.

Aria poke Kakeru. "Me thinks the lad doth this just to get the lass's attention. Dos thou think she might return the gesture?"

Kakeru grinned. "Indeed! I do proclaim, he might have found his new-th girlfriend."

"I CAN HEAR YOU YA KNOW!" Kyo and Misako yelled at them at the same time, they laughed and ran over to Hanajima.

Misako blushed. "Don't copy me you loser!" Misako stomped off. Kyo was dazed and went after her. He grabbed her arm, she turned around.

"Hey," Kyo looked serious. "I'm sorry ok?" he blushed and sat down. "Since when am I a loser?"

Misako tried not to blush. "Its ok." she grinned. "You've been a loser since I've been able to do this!" she smacked Kyo playfully upside his head and ran off out the room.

Kyo jumped up, yelled and went after her. Arisa stared out the window, laughing to herself when she noticed something. It's him! Arisa jumped up suddenly, making everyone look at her.

"Uo, you ok? Did your brain refuse to function?" Haru teased. She glared at him.

"Don't call me that brat." She began to walk out the room. "I have to go do something 'kay?" they all watched her leave.

"I think she's up to something." Haru said to Hanajima, who was not listening. She was sitting in Kakeru's lap and playing with his hair.

Arisa was in front of exit that led to the yard. There was a window next to it and she was peering out of it. There was the same stranger she had kissed only wearing a completely different outfit. He had was wearing black pants, red shirt and a jacket even if it was hot out.

Arisa crept outside; making sure the door didn't slam so he didn't hear it. When she got close enough she attacked, covering his eyes. His hand flung up trying to feel her face. "W-who the hell is this? I'm going to kill you when I find out!"

Arisa moved so that she could be in front of him. "Maybe," she whispered in his ear. "This might jog your memory." She let her hands go but not before pressing her lips against his.

He automatically shut his eyes and invited her in but didn't expect her kiss to be so intense. When they were done he was blushing and catching his breath.

"You still gonna kill me?" Arisa sat down next to him. He looked at her in surprise.

"W-what the hell was that?" he managed to choke out. Arisa stood up and walked around. He followed her.

"You asked me if I was in your way, and you were right." She turn to leave. "I'm in your way not because you want me to, but because I want to be in your way." she opened the door to the exit and walked in, letting it close behind her.

Arisa suddenly heard the door bang open; she whirled around to see him walking over to him very quickly. He had surprised her when he pushed her against the wall and kissed her. One hand was holding her neck and the other was on her lower back. Practically on her ass.

Arisa on the other hand had he hands on his ass and his back. The kiss was intensifying that it was hard for Arisa to keep quite. She let out a moan here and there and so would he. After a couple minutes of 'bliss' they parted, gasping for air.

"You're one hell of a kisser." Arisa said, fixing her hair. He smiled.

"You should say so your self." Arisa blushed and turn towards the staircase.

"I-I should get going." He pulled her into his arms.

"Risa," she looked up at him, and smiled slightly. "I-if you're not doing anything, I mean you probably are, you know with your friends and stuff. But if you uh, aren't would you like to go on a date with me?" he turned as red as his shirt.

Arisa laughed. "With you, I'll go anywhere as long as you tell me your name." What a cheesy line Arisa! "Where do you want to meet?"

"R-really. Ok then how about in front of Shojo's Best Manga store on Saturday at 1PM?" he looked her straight in the eye. Arisa kissed him on the cheek. "By the way, you can call me Tai."

Shigure's house…

Arisa, Hanajima, Misako, Kyo, Tohru and Yuki were all in the living room, bored. Well except for Arisa who was thinking about Tai's kiss. "I'm bored! Let's do something."

Misako got up and went into the kitchen and pulled some things out. Kyo went to see what the whole fuss was about. Hanajima, Tohru and Yuki heard yelling and went to investigate.

"So, what's his name Arisa?" Haru asked, not even looking at her. She snapped out of her daze.

"Huh? What guy?" she blushed thinking about that afternoon.

"The guy I saw you making out with in the school yard." She jumped. "While everyone was watching Kyo chase Misako."

Arisa sighed. "His name is Tai. Please don't tell anyone. Please Haru!" she looked at him pleadingly. He held out his hand, she sighed and went into her pocket. Arisa pulled out the 100 yen and gave it to him.

Kyo walked in covered in flour and holding a mixing spoon. "I got the spoon so Ha!" a bowl flew out the door and hit his back. He looked at them exchanging money. "Uh… what the hell are you doing?"

"You're asking us what we're doing!" Arisa yelled, he nodded.

"She lost a bet." Haru put simply. Kyo nodded and crawled back into the kitchen. Misako yelled at him.

Two hours later----

Covered in flour and white sugar, Misako got out of the kitchen. Kyo soon followed, wearing no shirt and his chest covered in flour. Everyone stared at them. "How long," Arisa started. "Have you two been in that kitchen? Alone." Haru laughed while everyone grinned.

"Perverts, are you taking classes with Shigure or something?" he tried to clean himself off. "Any way, I am proud to present Misako's gone mad, I mean her brownies." Misako turned around and had a plat fully of warm brownies sprinkled with powered sugar.

Everyone attacked it. Misako was only able to get one brownie from the plate and it was quite a big one. Kyo sat on the stairs sulking. "You animals!" (Don't you love the irony.) "Damn fiends…" he mumbled to himself as Misako sat next to him. "I can see why though."

"Kyo, I saved you the last one." She handed it to him. "I hope you enjoy it since you were so proud of me and junk." She blushed a little.

"I can't eat all of it." He could but instead he broke it in half. Kyo handed her the bigger half. "Here, we can share, it's not that bad. You're cooking I mean." He laughed lightly

Misako pushed him playfully. "Bad kitty, bad."

He pushed her back. "Am I sensing aggressiveness from Misako?" she tilted her back and laughed. Kyo stood up and pulled Misako up. "Hey, are you doing anything Saturday?"

She looked at him, he was staring at something past her but she could tell he was blushing. "N-no. not really. Why do you ask."

"No reason, just meet me in front of Shojo's Best Manga bookstore at 12:30 ok?" Misako and he went to his room, Misako did the same. Once inside her room she turned on her radio and they were playing 'kiss me.'

No one heard Misako scream with joy but they did hear her stomping on the floor.
