I'm so sorry you guys! I didn't mean for you guys to wait so long for the next chapter! It's just a lot of things had been happening. I won't be able to write as much now since school is now starting, but I'll try my best to have one or two chapters up a week! Well hopefully you will enjoy this chapter, after that horrible cliffhanger I left haha! Cyah!

"…Tom?" Fuu asked shyly looking up at him.

"Yes…?"

There was a long pause between Jin, Fuu and Tom. Until Mugen came running out of the school, no one said a word.

"Ha! Ha! I'm out of detention too!" Mugen crossed his arms and snarled at Fuu. But he noticed Fuu didn't say anything to him, she was just stared at Tom unconsciously.

"Hey, hey, Fuu." He poked her but she didn't react at all.

"What the hell is wrong with her and who the hell is that?" Mugen whispered to Jin, pointing his thumb at this "guy".

"I don't know, some guy named Tom?" Jin whispered back.

"Tom…" he reminisced that name.

Tom, uncomfortable with this silence, asked bluntly, "and you are?"

Fuu stuttered back, "Fu-uu."

"Right… I'll probably see you around school then. Bye." Tom walked away with a confused look on his face.

"Oh! I know that guy!" Mugen pointed out "That's the guy you talked in your sl-"

Fuu dashed over to Mugen's side and covered his mouth with her hand. "Shut up idiot!"

"Get off!" Mugen grabbed her hand and swung it away.

"Then be quiet!" Fuu covered her blushing face. "That's so embarrassing! I can't believe you heard that! And now Jin knows…my life is over!" Fuu started to wail.

"You mean, he doesn't even know you?" asked Mugen.

Fuu shyly nodded.

"For Christ sakes! And this whole time I thought-" Mugen glanced at her rosy cheeks and sighed vigorously. "Never mind."

Fuu pouted with her red face and sat on the stair beside Jin.

"Jin…"

"Hmm?"

"Will you promise not to tell anyone?" Fuu plead.

"Who would I even tell?"

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Fuu acknowledged Jin's reply, hoping it meant, "Sure I won't tell."

Slowly regaining her happiness, she jumped up and faced Jin. "Let's go now!"

Surprised with the fast recovery, Jin questioned. "And where do you suppose we go then?"

Fuu placed her hand under her chin and pondered her a while. Hmm…Hmm… she thought. Where shall we go?

Not realizing how long she was thinking, Jin and Mugen had already started to walk away.

"I know where we can go!" Fuu happily stated her point, but realized she was talking to air. She spotted them walking up ahead, not to far away. "Hey, retards! I wasn't finished talking."

Fuu caught up with Jin and Mugen. "Why the hell is this idiot, coming with us?" Fuu glared hard at Mugen, he did the same to her.

"YOU better be nice to this idiot, he's letting you stay at his place while you stupidly locked yourself out!" Mugen snarled back.

"Well-" Fuu couldn't think of any comebacks to say to him. "Well…fine then! I'm leaving." Fuu stomped away angrily.

"Fuu…" Jin tried to stop her. Before Jin could actually say her name again, she already ran off leaving her out of sight.

Out of sight, Fuu ran to her house and sat on her stairs. "This sucks, this sucks." She repeated to herself. She placed her head down between her arms mumbling.

As she was repeating these two words, she felt a soft tap on her shoulder. Slowly, she lifted her head and was face to face with The-one-and-only.

"What are you ddoo-ooing hhe-rrree?" At the last few words, Fuu stuttered.

"You kinda left your bag on the school yard, I just wanted to- you know give it to you." Tom handed the gray duffle bag towards Fuu.

"You came all this way? Just to give it to me?" Fuu's eyes sparkled.

"Well," commenced Tom.

She could just imagine it now, she could she the future flash before her eyes…

"Well, not only that…" Tom explained, "I've been secretly eyeing you for the past days. I was to shy to tell you, but I think, I think, I think, I love you! I couldn't stand another minute apart from you! I want you! I need you!"

"Oh, Tom! I feel the same way…I…" Fuu imagined herself flustering at the sight of Tom saying these wonderful words. "I feel…"

Just as Fuu was finishing her oh-so lovely vision, Tom interrupted by continuing what he was saying in reality.

"Well," he continued, "I thought you might need it and plus my girlfriend lives around here…"

CRACK! BOOM! SMACK!

Fuu dreams and hopes were crushed by those two words… MY GIRLFRIEND. She had lost all consciousness after he had said those dreadful words. She felt as if he reached into her heart and literally threw her aching heart against the wall.

"Oh," Fuu said unsteadily, "Well you mustn't keep your girlfriend waiting." She took a quick glance at her watch. "Oh and I must be going to! It's getting quite late! Bye now!" Fuu quickly try to escape that horrific scenario by heading towards the backyard.

"Wait!" Tom yelled back at her. He had to yell because she was already halfway there.

What do you want Tom? She thought as she stifled a sniffle.

"Yah?" she asked quietly and hastily turned around.

"Your bag?" One eyebrow rose as he elongated his arm with her duffle bag at the end of his hand.

"Oh, right, thanks." She lowered her head towards Tom and snatched the bag from his hand.

"So, I better get going now…" He shrugged as he turned around, "I'll see you around."

"Yah…" Fuu said frowning, "around..."

Weird girl. Tom thought as he strolled towards his girlfriend's house.

"Okay… my life officially sucks!" Fuu announced as Tom had left. "I can't get into my house, the guy I like has a girlfriend, and…and…I have no friends!"

"Geez, you don't have to be so melodramatic!" Mugen rolled his eyes as he came closer to Fuu.

"But, I thought you left?" Fuu sniffled.

"Yah, well, I wanted to go home okay? You want to come in or not?" Mugen started to unlock his door.

"Well, yah, I guess." Fuu wiped her nose with a kleenex. "Thanks."

As they were entering the house, Mugen stated under his breath, "you do have friends."

Fuu was astounded. Is he implying that he's my friend? She had to make sure again. "What was that Mugen? What did you say?"

"God damn it you heard me! I'm not repeating it." Mugen said angrily.

"C'mon it's not that big of a deal! Just tell me!" Fuu said forcefully but happily.

"No!"

"Ha! Ha! Just tell me!" Fuu was glad things were a least back to normal…at least for a while.
