Rhode: When can I see Allen in the story? :3

Hime: You will! In time! ;)

Rhode: *smirks*

Allen: *shivers*

Hime: Oh shush and do the disclaimer!

Allen: Hime-san does not own anything...

"She left her class already" Kukai told his kouhai when he returned from Naomi's classroom.

Rima frowned, "You don't think she's purposely avoiding us do you?"

Nagi rolled his eyes, "We have only just met, I don't believe we gave her a bad impression of us last night."

Tadase sighed, "Although we might have given her too much to handle, I mean she is still new…maybe we could ask her again once she adjusts to life here?"

At that moment, Rima became exasperated and made it known, "Tadase! We need that girl! She can purify X Eggs! We can't! We need someone we can depend on!"

"We have Utau" Kukai put in.

Rima scowled, "Your girlfriend isn't always around if you hadn't noticed."

Kukai flushed slightly in response, "Utau and me aren't like that!"

"Sure…"

Nagi sighed and rubbed his temples. He felt a migraine coming on…

Elsewhere; Naomi was at the rooftop garden, there was something she had to do.

The young girl shrugged off her backpack and opened it where Christa and Timmy emerged out.

"Timmy, commence video conference call to Daddy" the girl ordered the silver golem.

The golem nodded and opened its mouth and a screen image of her father's face was projected out of it.

"Amber"

Naomi smiled, "Daddy"

Ikuto sighed, he couldn't find the girl anywhere!

Ikuto rushed Seiyo Middle school as soon as the break bell had rung and he had spent almost his entire breaktime finding the girl. He tried picking up her scent like how he did with Amu the last time but he somehow lost the girl's scent midway. He eventually gave up and now he was in his homeroom, alone.

Suddenly, he heard familiar footsteps coming in; the rebellious teenager turned to see it was Sato who entered the room. The dark-haired teen made no move to acknowledge him; he just went over to his seat next to Ikuto, sat in his chair and began preparing his things for the next lesson. Sato didn't even spare Ikuto a glance once!

Ikuto deadpanned, slightly annoyed until he got an idea.

"So Sato, what's your relationship with that friend of yours? You know the one with the sister? The ones that came for you yesterday?

Sato froze and with a pencil in hand, he turned to look at Ikuto with an irked expression on his face.

"Why do you ask?"

Ikuto smirked slightly for a second; glad that he got the reaction he wanted before shrugging nonchalantly at the response.

"Just wanted to ask is all, I mean we are classmates. I just want to get to know you."

"You don't seem much of a socialiser Tsukiyomi" countered the spectacles-wearing teen.

Ikuto smirked openly then, "Are you trying to evade my questions ?"

The long-haired man sighed in defeat and continued preparing his things; talking as he did so.

"Those two are long-time friends of mine. We also live together hence why they came for me yesterday."

"Interesting…" murmured Ikuto.

Now he could easily get that girl's address! He could just charm the office lady for Sato's contact information! Perfect!

"By the way, don't even think about touching Naomi" warned Sato, breaking Ikuto's train of thought.

Ikuto looked at his classmate; his curiosity perked, "And why is that?"

Well, I finally know her name…

A rather cute one too…

"Her brother is the overprotective type. He's under strict orders from their father to look after her."

Oh boy…a daddy's girl…

"Uhuh, so where is their father then? Does he live with you guys?"

"He's-"

The school bell rung and their classmates began spilling into the homeroom, ending their conversation abruptly.

Ugh, well that information was all I needed anyway...

Cross sneezed causing his daughter to giggle.

"Bless you Papa."

Cross sniffed, "Thanks. So how is that stupid apprentice of mine enjoying his alone time with his first girlfriend?"

Naomi blinked once, then again and again until she realized her father meant Leenalee.

"THEY'RE DATING?!"

"Oh, they've been trying to keep it secret but it's so obvious well to someone like me anyway."

"Ah, well not that I blame them. Komui-san is rather-"

"Why do you think I sent those two with you in the first place?" her father interrupted, looking smug.

Naomi swooned, "Aww Daddy! What a nice thing to do! Giving them alone time!"

"Just don't tell that gaki. I don't want him to think I'm going soft on him" her fathers warns.

"The young girl laughed, "I won't."

The school bell sounded then, a signal that the students had five minutes left to return to their classes.

"It's time for you to go sweetheart" says Cross with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Naomi pouted, "Oh all right…so any last orders?"

The red-haired man raised his hand and held up each finger as he counted off, "1. Take the week to get settled in, you start investigating the Noahs next week. 2. You keep eating and sleeping. No working yourself too hard. 3. No distractions meaning no boys, no parties, no-"

"DADDY!"

Cross laughed, "Okay, I'll stop but be a good girl and don't let Kanda kill anyone alright?"

Naomi laughed and saluted, "Yes Sir!"

Cross's eyes softened then, "I love you."

Naomi felt tears pricking into her eyes at her father's words. The young girl quickly blinked the tears away and sniffed, "I love you too Daddy. Bye-bye Papa."

"Goodbye love."

The call ended there and the tears finally fell.

She missed her father so much.

Ren yawned loudly as the lesson began. He was bored out of his mind and he really needed something to get his mind off things.

Just like that, his phone vibrated in his pocket; his prayers answered.

Immediately, Ren stood up from his seat and raised his hand high, "Sensei! I have a stomach ache! Can I go to the infirmary?"

The 40 year old teacher didn't even look at him, she continued writing on the blackboard, "Fine! Go!"

Once he was out of the room, Ren answered the call immediately so he didn't see the caller ID. He talked on the phone as he made his way to the infirmary.

"Why the hell did Cross sent you kids out without informing me?!"

Ren gulped, Link?!

"Well?!"

"I don't know…"

"I am supposed to watch over Walker!"

"Well there's Leenalee, Kanda, Amber and me here so I think we're more than enough to-"

"But I was the one assigned to watch him!"

"Well yes but you were injured at the time so Cross couldn't assign you so-"

"But nothing! I'll be arriving in a day or two so don't you go anywhere else!"

"What?! You're coming?! Did Cross even give you permission-?"

The line went dead.

Oh shit.

Leenalee: *blushes cutely* W-wow...so me and Allen are-?

Komui: NOOOOO!

Hime: Good grief...

Lavi: *sweatdrop* Hope you readers enjoyed the chapter...
