Moments seemed to pass by in a storm. The lowly peasent now turned princess found herself dragged through the large mall by her arms. A black beret was worn tilted on her head, as her arms were locked in hooks manned by her "beloved" cousins Kaoru and Hikaru. "Hmm, I don't know. But I have a great idea in reeling in some men." Hikaru, the older redhead placed a finger to his chin. Already Kiyoko bit her bottom lip in fear of what outrageous plan he had come up in the mere moments they had been trodding along within the vincinity.

"And what shall that be my dear brother?"

"I saw it in a magazine! Oh, it was in one of mother's." The devil won a glance from a few admiring girls. Rich people of whom blessed with the sinnful gift of time. The twins shot their adoring fangirls gleaming smiles. "Ah women are so easy. It's the men we're going to have trouble with.." Kaoru said, with his brother nodding. Already weirder out by the antics of her captors. "You two. I don't even know what to say to this." Kiyoko said trying her best not to look even dumber than she already did.

"Now what was your idea?" She said disdainfully, looking around for anyone she might know in any way.

"Ah yes. It was in a magazine in an article called 'Cute Pick-up Lines for Women.'" Hikaru stated as if he were a genius in such terms. The girl herself couldn't help but wince. Well now it was proven, the Hitachiin twins did do strange things when sucumbed to the dark depths of boredom. "And it was?"

"It said, and I quote: "While with a girlfriend, ask a guy if you can 'borrow him for a minute.' Then say to your friend, 'See, this is my type. Find me one like this."" Hikaru turned to her with a devilish smirk upon his face. "Why did you memorize that word for word?" Kiyoko eyed him suspiciously, knowing fully that she was not going to let herself do such a thing.

"Ah you see Ki, things such as this may come in handy once in a blue moon." Kaoru held up a finger. "Well there's no blue mooon tonight, and I would never do such a thing." Kiyoko said curtly. The twins stopped and looked at her. "Ah you see our dear cousin, you must take risks or you shall get no farther in life."

The dark haired girl closed her eyes for a moment. Her voice was soft spoken and smoth as she spoke. "What makes you think I want to get farther in life?"

Her words stunned the twins for a moment. "I told you, were losing her as we speak. We need to find her a boyfriend and soon." Kaoru nodded, as Kiyoko found herself pulled forward. Alarmed, she placed a hand to keep the raven colored beret as her scarf seemed to whip around as if some long extention to her hair. Afterall, her hair just slightly touched her shoulders.

"So Hikaru, what do you think would be Ki's type?" Kaoru asked as a smirk gleamed upon his face. These two couldn't possibly..

Hikaru placed a finger on his chin as if thinking, though we might as well be able to say he already had a plan, he just did that to look smarter in some sort. "Kiyoko likes books, music and art." He paused for a moment. "Hey I'd date her if she wasn't family. I mean look at her. Split personalities, that's pretty much like dating two different girls."

There was an awkward silence for a moment. The silence pierced the air before Kaoru decided to break the tension. "That's very true my brother." Frustrated Kiyoko shook her head. "Okay guys, I'm getting sick of this. Just let me go home now." She tried her best to pry her arms from their grip but came through with no avail.

"To the music store!"

Kiyoko stood leaning on the glass store front window as her cousins searched mercilessly for prey. She turned to look behind herself into the store. Hikaru and Kaoru quietly stalked through the aisles as if they were some sort of spies on an espionage mission. Quickly, Hikaru leapt behind a display and leaned against it, carefully looking back as if he was in some deadly game of Cat and Mouse.

Koaru did just the same, and they whispered to each other in a pair of imaginary walkie talkies. But soon, they came upon their prey, some poor guy listening to the latest album from some band.

He never saw it coming.

Kiyoko felt herself close her eyes as if expecting the Hitachiin twins to pounce on the unsuspecting prisoner and tear him to shreds. But then came nothing. It had seemed that Hikaru had struck up a conversation with the light haired boy, he probably knew him from somewhere. One thing she hadn't realized was that fact that Kaoru had been approaching quietly behind her to reel her in and catch her off guard.

With a sudden jolt, she was pulled back and now inconspicuosly being dragged into the store. "I think we have a winner Ki." the words were whispered into her ear, as she prepared herself for the worst.

Well, I hope you guys liked the chapter. It took me a little while longer to write, I really don't know exactly why.

Well, I went to the doctor and it seems that the causes for these headaches are blood clots in my brain. I'll be fine, I think.

The next chapter will be up soon. But I really don't know who she'll end up with. This will be one of those, 'your reviews will count as votes for the winner' kind of thing.

R&R

Luves,

Ki

A preview of what's to come...

"You say you have to leave know because you don't want to start a new year with me if you know you can't finish it.."

"You mean nothing to me anymore so leave me alone."

"This is how a heart breaks.."

Stab my back, it's better if I bleed for you.."
