Flame: My computer is being evil. It deleted chapter 9, so now I have to rewrite it

Neko-chan: I get to help!

Flame: Says who o.O

Tamako: Flame-sama, the pie I made is gone, do you know where it went?

Neko-chan: (burps) mmm, cherry pie... I didn't eat it!

Flame: Uh huh, sure you didn't

Tamako: Well, I made that pie to lure rats... there's rat poison in it...

Neko-chan: O.O r-rat poison? Excuse me (runs to the bathroom)

Flame: Was there really rat poison in the pie?

Tamako: Nope, but now she knows not to eat thaings that don't belong to her. I'm going to go make another pie.

Flame: Oh-kay... let's start the story! Oh! I don't own Beauty Pop, by the way, or The Grudge, or McDonald's, I keep forgetting to say that!

(retching sounds come form bathroom)

A Husband for Kiri

Chapter 9

Billy strode out of the shadows. "Actually that's not a bad idea." he said.

Emi clapped her hands, and Kiri shrugged.

"How 'bout tonight?" he asked, looking from Kiri to her mother.

Before Kiri could answer, her mom interupted.

"Tonight is perfect. How about eight? Kiri, you'll be wearing this, of course. Billy, dress nice, your taking my daughter out." Emi talked quickly, excited that her plans were moving right along.

THAT is when Kiri finally said something.

"I'm not wearing that." she said calmly. Before Emi could argue, though, a couple of neighborhood kids called Kiri over to look at their new puppy.

That night, at eight, Kiri walked out of her room in the outfit.

"Let's go." she growled at Billy, and dragged him out of the house before her mom decided to take pictures. In the car, Billy asked her if she wanted to go to a movie.

"What's playing?"

"Well, there's this movie that I heard was really good, called The Grudge." he said, grinning slyly in his head.

Kiri shrugged. "Why not." she replied.

The movie ended with Billy practically sitting in Kiri's lap, screaming his head off while Kiri just yawned.

"T-that movie wasn't scary..." Billy said, shuddering as they left the movie theater to go to eat dinner at McDonalds.

Kiri ignored yet anther whistle and cat call.

As they sat down with their bugers, Kiri noticed Kei, Narumi, and Ochiai in a boothe close to their's.

"Mussy Head?" Narumi gasped, when he saw her too. Kei grinned. Ochiai blushed deep red.

Billy gritted his teeth when the boys joined their table, he had hoped to get Kiri to himself tonight... to get the Golden Scissors, of course!

Kiri glanced at him.

"Actually, we were just leaving." she said in a monotone, getting up and brushing off her (very short) skirt.

Billy jumped up and followed Kiri out the door, leaving behind a very confused S.P.

"Kiri-chan looks cute!" Kei said happily, breaking the silence.

'Cute doesn't even cover it, Kei.' both Narumi and Ochiai thought at the same time.

Minutes later Billy and Kiri walked into the house. Kiri said good night, and went to her room to clean off her make up and go to bed.

Billy watched her saunter to her room, wondering what stopped him from asking about the Golden Scissors. And why he was drooling.

Flame: Okay, so I like unconventional couples. So far I've done a Kei/Kiri, this could end up being a Billy/Kiri, and I"m brainstorming a Ochiai/Kiri.

Neko-chan: (back from the bathroom) You do know that this manga ends Narumi/Kiri, right, Flame-chan?

Flame: I know, but that's too obvious for me. It's boring!

Tamako: Flame-sama, you say this could end up a Billy/Kiri, are you not sure?

Flame: Nope. Only time will tell... I'm sleepy...

Neko-chan: Well, we did spend all weekend with your four year old nephew.

Tamako: (groan) Please, don't remind me...

Flame: She's right. The kid wakes up at 5, so EVERYONE has to wake up at 5, no matter how late they were up the night before. I'm going to bed!

All: LOVE Y'ALL!
