Flame: Oh man, I got SO lost today... Cass High is HUGE!
Neko-chan: You're such a cute freshman!
Tamako: Neko-chan! Don't tease Flame-sama!
Neko-chan: But it entertains the readers!
Tamako: The readers are not your concern. I apologise to you, Flame-sama (bows)
Flame: What the heck? I'm not a 'sama' in the first place! You're older than me Tamako!
Neko-chan: (sigh) They're gonna argue like this the whole chapter, so we might as well get started...

A Husband for Kiri?!
Chapter 6
Kiri stared blankly into Ochiai's eyes for only a moment until her eyelids drooped and she laid her head back down. She didn't even really wake up!
Ochiai was relieved at that, but then realized he'd still have to explain to Narumi why he was kissing his kouhei. He turned around to explain, but the doorway was empty. It was like no one was ever there.
'Maybe I just imagined Narumi's shout...' he thought vaugly, then turned back to Kiri.
"Koshiba-kouhei, we are deffinately going to be late if you don't wake up, we don't want to miss the special event, do we?" he continued to shake her as if nothing had happened.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Narumi breathed deeply when he was backstage again. No, Ochiai didn't imagine his shout, but Narumi was too shocked to listen to what his friend had to say, whatever excuse he came up with couldn't hide the truth, Kazuhiko had fallen in love with Mussy Head.
"Na-kun, what's the matter?" Kei asked worriedly. Narumi was about to tell him, but then Ochiai walked into the room, a sleepy looking Kiri at his heels.
"We only have two minutes until the announcement! Eveybody get to your places!" Ochiai shouted. Kiri shrugged and walked out, only to come back seconds later with her signature outfit and hat on. Nobody was shocked, Kiri had a lot of hidden talents.
Kiri and Narumi took their places on two white x-s painted on the stage. Then the curtain opened!
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Kei stood in the middle of the stage, microphone in hand.
"Hello again, ladies! Welcome to S.P! Today we have a special treat for you! You guys get to choose which hairstylist you want to see today! Narumi," a bright spotlight surronded the spot where Narumi stood, scowling at the screaming fangirls, " or x-san!" another spotlight found Kiri, her hat casting a shadow on her eyes.
While the announcement was going on, several volenteers were moving through the crowd, passing out ballots and pens. For a few minutes there was only silence, then the volunteers took up the ballots and ran backstage, where a machine was set up to count them.
While the macine was working, Billy made his way through the crowd, taking his seat.
Finally Kanako nervously made her way across the stage to Kei, handing him a sealed envelope.
Kei took a deep breath, opened the envelope, then shouted into the microphone, " And the winner is-"

Flame: Anothe cliffy! And I think I finally got Tamako to stop calling me 'Flame-sama'!
Neko-chan: That's what she thinks...
Tamako: Flame-sama! The pop corn is ready!
Flame: Dang it! Tamako! What did I tell you?
Neko-chan: Told ya so. Now, I want some pop corn! (reaches for pop corn)
Tamako: (slaps Neko-chan's hand away) Flame-sama eats first!
Tamako & Neko-chan: (get into a fist fight)
Flame: BAD CATS!! Well, cat and dog...
