The next day,Akito had returned,just as Mrs. Tanka said he would. Akito's good friend Yoko was very glad to see him,as was Hideyuki. But Yushi,as you may have guessed,avoided him like the plauge.

Ami sat near the bookshelf,flipping through a book of Japanese folktales. When she was done she just threw it aside,almost hitting Gojei,who then began to read it as well.

Ami then began to play with a Mickey Mouse plushie,and she didn't pay any attention to anything until someone tapped her on the shoulder. She almost leapt out of her shorts when she felt it. She turned around and noticed that it was Akito who had tapped her.

''Oh...it's just you,'' Ami said,sighing in relief.

Akito sat down next to her. ''Y'know,Ami,Yoko told me you like samurai dramas.''

''You mean that Daisuke show?'' Ami asked.

''Yup.''

''What about it?''

''Well,I like it too!''

''Really?''

''Really! And I like Chewy Rice Cakes too!''

Ami and Akito continued to talk,but Yushi was still hiding.

When she no longer saw Akito talking with Yoko and Hideyuki,she decided to come out of hiding. But,she wished she hadn't,for she saw Ami talking with him!

Akito heard her coming and turned to face her. ''Oh,there she is,'' Akito said.

Yushi could hardly believe what she was seeing. In absolute shock,she fled.

Akito and Ami stared after her for a moment. ''Was it somethin' I said?'' Akito asked.

Later on,Mrs. Tanka was reading to all of them once again.

''The little dog said,'bow-wow!' '' She said. ''The little cat said,'meow!' Then the little dog said, 'bow-wow-wow-wow!' ''

''Oooh,the plot thickens!'' Gojei said.

Yushi wasn't paying atttention at all. She still couldn't get that image of Ami and Akito talking out of her mind. Maybe Ami was talking about those blasted Chewy Rice Cakes,therefore ruining their reputation...exactly what she and Gojei feared. (Gojei didn't know about the two of them talking...yet.)

After Mrs. Tanka was done reading,Gojei noticed how upset Yushi was and asked, ''Something wrong?''

Yushi hesitated for a moment. ''Y-yes...''

''What is it?''

''I s-s-s-saw Ami and A-A-Akito t-talking...'' Yushi mananged to say.

''About what?'' Gojei found this all most intresting.

''I d-d-d-d-don't know...''

''Why dont'cha ask?''

Yushi thought about that for some time,then went over to Ami,who was reading that book of folktales with Akito again. Gojei followed.

Ami noticed the two of them approaching. ''Oh,there you are!'' She said, ''Why don't you join us?''

Gojei and Yushi looked at each other,perplexed.

Mustering up her courage,Yushi asked, ''Wh-wh-what have you and Akito b-b-b-been talking ab-ab-about lately?''

It was Akito who answered. ''About how we both love Chewy Rice Cakes!'' He said exultingly.

Akito liked those things too? Yushi couldn't believe it. Neither could Gojei,who was so surprised her precious sunglasses fell off.

''What about that Dai...Dai...Dai-whatever guy?'' Gojei said as she put her sunglasses back on.

''I like him too!'' Akito said.

''Me too!'' Ami said.

''Well,Ami,we kinda knew that,'' Gojei said.

Yushi said nothing. She pinched herself to see if she was dreaming,she was so shocked.

''Are you all right,Yushi?'' Ami asked,seeing how confused her sister was.

Yushi soon got over her confusion and surprise and without warning hugged Akito in a proud way that she normally didn't do.

But Akito just pulled her away. ''Eww,cooties!'' He said,shuddering.

Oh,well...back to square one.

A/N: What a tweeeest! (hee hee) That's it for the second ''episode.'' The next one will introduce a new main character...Dang-Dang. Who or what is Dang-Dang? You'll find out soon enough. That's not the only exciting thing to come,though...I plan on introducing another new character as well: Ami's uncle (I haven't given him a name yet) and her cousin,Miruku.

Well,sayonara and thanks for reading (watching?)
