Dear Readers ,

It has been insanely long since I last updated this story, I'm extremely sorry. I guess I just lost interest. I'll try to be better!

'Could this get any worse?'

"And don't forget," the teacher smiled remindingly, "This assignment is mandatory, in other words you need to participate!"

The bell rang, after what seemed to be eternity. Ren, Karin, and Himeka walked home together in a row. Two of them with a chip on their shoulders, and the other without a care in the world.

There thoughts are as follows:

'What will I do? Himeka-chan is going to get mauled by my fan girls when she bids on me … sigh … if she bids on me.'

'Kazune-kun is going to explode when he finds out! He knows that Micchi and Jin will try to bid on me … not to mention the fact that he is already sore from being stuck to Micchi-kun to long … sigh this is going to be a long day.'

'Bugs … butterfly … Ren … caterpillars … Ren …. Termites … Ren ….'

These thoughts continue through the entire walk home. As they slowly opened the door they found an enrage Kazune, and a Micchi that looked like he had been pushed down some stairs.

"Welcome home love!" Micchi yelled, attempting to hug Karin. Only to be kept at bay with Kazune's 'I'm-going to-kill' look.

"Hi Micchi! Hi Kazune!" Karin and Himeka greeted, as if nothing was out of the ordinary. Suddenly Karin had an idea pop into her head.

"Have a bad day?" Karin looked Kazune straight in the eye giving him a taste of her innocent emerald eyes, "Hmmm … what could I do to make it better?" she continued playfully. Karin got really close to Kazune's face so that their cheeks were only a hair away. She quickly took her chance and gave him a soft peck on the cheek.

It was a really precious moment. They both blushed and looked away from each other bashfully. But then there was Micchi.

"Karin-chan, my turn!" Micchi yelped; pushing Kazune aside, which resulted in Kazune attempting to make the English boy a martyr.

During the fight Karin noticed that Ren and Himeka were watching the fight on a bean bag loveseat.

'Where are all of these loveseats coming from?' Karin thought while examining the would be couple.

Himeka had fallen asleep on Ren's shoulder and Ren stole glances at her now-and-again. It was so sweet that it would have made any asexual get a toothache.

'Awe, they are so darn cute! I should talk to her later and tell her about Ren. She is probably completely and totally clueless how much he likes her,' Karin conspired on how to get the shy girl and the new boy together.

After awhile Kazune grew tired and collapsed, bringing down Micchi as well. Karin's maternal instincts kicked in and she wrapped a nice warm quilt around the two of them.

'Every thing seems nice and peaceful … I guess I should guess go off and read my book!" she thought pulling out Twilight from behind her back. She skipped off toward the study where she decided to sit in that bean bag love seat she'd seen earlier.

Sadly she was reading while down the stairs. One moment she is reading about Bella nearing death, the next moment she felt her body went flying through the air. Then she saw the world go blank.

Her eyes fluttered open. She was staring into a pair of beautiful golden eyes. At first she was surprised, and her feminine instincts told her that it was a stalker. But soon she realized it was only Jin.

"Jin?" Karin questioned.

"Yes, my goddess," Jin replied in a whisper, it were as if he talked to loud she would shatter into a million pieces.

"Why are you in my room? Why am I in my room? Wasn't I in the study? Oh no … Micchi and Kazune! Are they okay? Did they kill each other?" Karin began to breathe heavily. This worried Jin greatly, to see his goddess in such distress? He wouldn't here of it! He took a firm hold of her shoulders and shook her.

"Karin? Breathe! Breathe! Breathe!" Jin yelled now hyperventilating. Realizing that she had caused the boy to panic she tried to calm down.

"Jin, I'm fine. You shouldn't worry about me to much," Karin sighed and looked at the idol that she was the muse.

"That my goddess is impossible," he replied. He lowered his forehead to hers and she felt the blood rush to her face. Their bangs met, then their eyelashes, then their noses, and just as it was about to get serious guess who dropped in?

"Kuga!" a voice boomed. The two jerked their heads toward the door and saw a raging blonde in the thresh hold.

"Kazune?"

"And Micchi," a battered British boy reminded everyone of his presence as Kazune backhanded the teen idol.

"Never touch Karin again!" Kazune glared at the glaring Jin and Micchi and Karin both tried to stay out of it.

Suddenly Karin saw a flash of something in her peripheral vision and realized that it was Himeka and Ren sleeping in a bean bag love-seat.

'Where the heck are all of these love-seats coming from?' Karin thought. Then she saw all of her class mates, including Mr. Glasses man and Kirika-senpai, stuffed onto one huge love-seat in mid-air. It began to fall, and so did her bed.

'Am I going crazy?' Karin thought to herself as she tried to grab at pieces of her mind to regain sanity.

As soon as she could put together one coherent though pocky of all kinds of flavor came flying down from the sky.

'Oh my … POCKY! I love pocky! Let's see, there is chocolate, strawberry, vinalla, almond, and … chu? … is that even a flavor?" she grabbed at the pocky and ate it. Sure enough it tasted like an actual kiss, well, it tasted like a memory of a kiss.

'This is a nice place, I wonder what is going to happen next,' Karin thought happily. Soon all of the images around her went away and slowly melted into what looked like a computer screen.

Suddenly everything went into a pink haze and Karin heard what sounded like light jingling bells.

"Who are you?" Karin asked, covering her eyes from the blinding light.

"Guess," the voice called playfully.

"No offense but I'm not in the mode right now," Karin brought her knees up to her chest a hugged them.

"Ah, come on, you have to know me," the voice sounded disappointed, "Fine, if you don't want to guess then I'll show you who I am."

The bright haze began to subside. Karin began to see the form of a girl come into her vision sharper and sharper by the second. In a few second Karin saw a girl that looked exactly like her on her bed in the form of Athena.

"Athena?" Karin asked in a bewildered tone.

"Gee, Karin you are so slow!" Athena remarked, "I always knew you weren't as smart as me … Hey, I think that you should recheck your history homework you got the last half of it wrong!"

"What?!" Karin was so surprised to see herself that she couldn't follow what she was being told. Athena sighed and rubbed the sides of her forehead with her fingers.

"Okay, Karin we will start from the beginning. Since you are the wielder of my ring I am constantly watching over you, so I obviously see every single mistake you make. This is really frustrating when you make stupid mistakes, since I'm Athena and I am the goddess of wisdom."

"What are you doing here?" Karin asked.

"I'm here because Apollo keeps begging me to tell you how to separate his host from Michiru," Athena explained annoyed at the memory of Apollo.

"Really?!" Karin's eyes sparkled, "What do I have to do? I'd do any thing to make Kazune happy.

"I don't think it would be wise to tell you," Athena replied, her eye downcast, as if trying not to betray the owner.

"Please tell me."

"…"

"Please," Karin pleaded, on the verge of tears.

Athena sighed.

"You need to kiss Michiru."
