Yo everyone. The reviews, even though there are only, like, two new ones, make me happy and I appreciate them very much. Sorry for the long updates… blame school.

The next morning, Evora awoke to a scream.

"WHAT IS IT!" she gasped, sitting up suddenly. She used her expert ninja skills to pinpoint the location of the sound: somewhere on the downstairs floor.

She jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen, where her mother stood backed against a wall and staring fearfully at Sephiroth.

"Listen, lady-san, calm down." Sephy tried to explain, and narrowly dodged a purse.

"Mom! What are you doing?" yelled Evora, running over to intervene.

"Who in the world is this!" her mother shouted, pointing a shaking finger at the approximately thirty-five year old man in front of her. Sephy looked to Evora helplessly.

"Ehm…. Listen, mom, can I talk to you privately for a moment?" her mom nodded, and scooted along the wall to Evora and was pulled into another room.

"Evora, what is going on here?" she whispered furtively. "I came downstairs to grab something to eat and leave for work and there was a thirty-year-old man in my kitchen! And he's dressed like a character in those Japanese things you like so much! Did you do this?"

"Er…." stalled Evora, thinking fast. "Yes, I did mom. I'm very sorry I frightened you; it's entirely my fault. I meant to introduce him to you today."

"Well, who is he?"

"Mom….. I've found you a new boyfriend."

"Really? I thought you didn't like me seeing other men-"

"Well, no, but this time I think I found the perfect match for you. You have to admit he's handsome."

"Yes-"

"And I know he is trustworthy and loyal. I met him… at…. school." she stuttered, telling the partial truth.

"Oh." said her mom, enticed now. She went over to a mirror to adjust her hair. "What else do you know about him?" she asked, curious now.

"He's kind and gentle." Evora continued, thinking up adjectives that described the silver-haired bishie in the game and saying the antonyms. "He really likes me and just wants to live a simple life. His…. wife died a few years back and even I can tell he needs someone he can believe in."

"Dear, that's so sweet." her mom sighed wistfully, turning to the hall door with tears in her eyes. "I would be happy to date him. I will teach his broken heart to love once more."

Evora mentally slapped herself. She absolutely could not have her mom hitting on one of her bishounen. It would activate her lethal fangirl instincts.

"Oh no! Mom! Look at the time! You've got to get out of here, it's almost nine-thirty!"

"Ack! Okay, honey, I'm leaving. Make sure that man stays for dinner or something." Evora's mom said hurriedly, getting her car keys out and giving the doomed fangirl a kiss goodbye. "SeeyalaterEviemakesureyoutakeoutthesausagefordinnerbye!"

The door to the garage shut, and an unsettling silence filled the house.

"Evora-san, what did you do?" called Sephiroth. Evora left the room, trying to wipe away any trace of guilt from her face.

"I just explained the situation, that's all. Are you the only one awake?" she asked, smoothly changing the subject.

"No, the other two are up. Riku-kohai woke up early and went for a jog, and Axel-san is hiding. Come on, you have to help me convince him it's safe." the tall bishie led Evora back out into the hall where Axel was hiding behind a potted plant.

"It's safe now, Axel-sama." Evora said gently, offering him a hand. Axel, however, was slightly paralyzed and just took her hand in a daze.

"Riku-kohai made us breakfast." continued Sephy, leading them into the kitchen. A spread of eggs, toast, orange juice and sliced fruit laid before them.

"Yeah. He's a morning person."

--

Axel snapped out of his shock as soon as he clapped eyes on all the food. Evora was teaching the two how to read American comics in the newspaper when Riku returned.

"Hi Riku-san!" Evora piped cheerfully. Riku crept in the room.

"I was…. chased…" he panted, falling into a chair.

"Oh! What happened?" Axel asked worriedly. "Did you do something… bad?"

"No! Well, I was jogging as usual, through the neighborhood, when I sensed a presence behind me. I turned to see who it might be, but nothing was there. However, the presence followed me my entire route. I ran faster as I came back home, and only now I sense nothing."

"Oooh, creepy." Sephy commented, biting into an orange slice.

"Yeah. And I have no idea who might have pursued me into this world." sighed Riku, grabbing a slice of toast and leaning back in his chair. Axel finished his meal, and was walking past a window when he froze.

"They're here." he breathed hopelessly. Then he turned suddenly from the window and ran to the others. "Keep your heads down!" he yelled, diving under the table. "We're surrounded!"

"What is it?" Evora asked, looking under the table where her bishounen were hiding.

"The fangirls followed Riku-kohai to this house!" Axel whispered furtively. "They surrounded the perimeter and are looking inside to find us!"

Sephiroth pounded Riku on the head. "Thanks a lot, squirt!" he scolded.
"At least I wouldn't have attracted fanboys!" the white-haired bishie snapped back.

"Hey! Respect your elders!" Axel admonished Riku.

"That's not nice!" whined Sephiroth. "I am NOT an elder! It is impossible to measure my actual age because-"

"Keep you voices down!" Evora called, standing up from the table. "I'm gonna see if I can get rid of them."

"No, Evora-san, you'll be-" Axel called in vain.

"She has her own stake in this." Riku said gravely.

Evora met with the fangirls head-on. She had something (someones, actually) that she loved, and she didn't want to lose them.

"What do you want?" she asked the crowd coldly, standing on the garden hose box so she could be heard.

"You are under suspicion of hoarding bishounen." The lead fangirl answered back.

"That may or may not be true." Evora contested.

"According to The Law of Multimedia Creation, Section IX, Paragraph V Line 6.3759, and I quote, 'A fangirl may not be in possession of any bishounen without alerting all fangirls within reasonable distance and/or communicational access ability.' You have failed these-"

"I found them first! They're mine!" Evora yelled back, already tired of the official-sounding drivel. "Finders-keepers losers weepers!"

"But it is the law!" the leader argued. This went on for a bit until Evora got philosophical.

"The bishounen are human. They can make decisions on what is right for them or not. We should let them decide."

"……….. no tricks?" the leader asked suspiciously, as the sun was setting by now.

"No tricks." Evora responded, sealing the deal. She escorted all three boys into the yard where the crowd had gathered, and stood them between her and the leader.

"Choose who to go with. Her and that drooling horde of rabid fangirls," Evora glared at the leader, "or me." She smiled charmingly.

"Uh… started Axel.

"Can I phone a friend?" Riku asked.

"JUST CHOOSE!" yelled the leader.

"Um, her I guess." Sephy (the unofficial leader) decided, pointing at Evora.

"Yay I love you guys!" the lucky fangirl squeed, glomping all three bishounen.

"You've not seen the last of me!" yelled the leader evilly, being dragged away by the lesser ranks of fangirls who were getting hungry.

"Scary." Axel observed, and was squeezed extra-tight by Evora.

"I knew you guys would come to love me!" she yelled happily.

"At least they didn't have blowguns this time." said Riku sentimentally.

Meh that didn't turn out as well… but did I ever have a plan for it in the first place? No. Next, you have a trip to the amusement park to look forward to :D
