CHAPTER:16
IN THE FAN CLUB.

Sitting there for the next half hour watching they rarely spoke to each other.
But the she looked at her watch.

"Tasuki." He looked at her from the TV. "Even if he was just dropping her off, Hori should be here by now."
"I was thinking the same thing too," They shot each other befuddled glances. She picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.

"Hello. Julian! What! Stop shouting." She held the phone away from her ear and shouted to it from an arm's distance to the voice that even Tasuki who was sitting at the other end could hear.

"Stop shouting you moron or I'll put the bloody thing down."
At once there was silence. She spoke into it.

"Look. Juls…no listen to- wait I- no that's what I'm trying- Uh no. but- Julian! Shut up! Listen to what I have to say…my foot is sprained- from jogging in the morning Juls- I- no I'm fine. Hello! Hello! Pick up! Hello! Oh Tory. No- listen I'm fine…where? At Hori's place, who the hell is screaming behind you?… well then ask that fool to shut up. Listen. I was wondering… have you seen Anya or Hori there?" she looked up surprised at Tasuki.

"Really. Ya don't say." Her eyes widened. "Well can you ask them to come over soon please? Thanks ya bye." She put the phone down.
Tasuki was waiting impatiently. "Well."
"They-" she turned to look at him properly. "They are talking by the court, the class was cancelled today."
His eyes widened suspiciously. "Why?"
"Search me." She shrugged.

"Oh man! Not again." He got up quickly and sat before her opening the first aid kit again.

"That cut is at it again. The band aid is red."
"Oh that's what's wet." She tried to touch it but he pulled her hand away again.
He knelt down in front of her this time and tended to her cut.
"Listen Arwen. About that paper thing." He said as he continued to clean the cut. "I'm really sorry. I should have understood why that brat was grinning like that,"

"Forget it Tasuki. Well I guess your wish came true, we already fought today." She laughed but winced at once.
He smiled but said sternly. "Sit still you hussy."

This time both he and Arwen wondered why they were feeling so weird in the other's touch and company. That was when the door banged open and Julian rushed in ranting at top speed. But he froze at seeing the two of them so close. Gaping at the scene openly he glared at Tasuki, who was holding her head close to his own. The fact that was even more annoying was that she seemed to be entranced by him, enjoying his touch. Her unblinking stare told him this.

First Hori now this guy! Arwen! Why everyone else but me?
The others behind him froze as well.
"Uh! DO you mind?" Julian stood near Arwen and looked down at Tasuki. He looked up absolutely unruffled. "I am better at this." Julian nodded. Tasuki turned to look at Arwen, she shrugged a little hesitantly. Tasuki nodded to this. "Fine. Here." He held the kit to Julian who snatched it from him and knelt down before Arwen. Tasuki just nodded amused, but he stood quite close by watching what Julian was doing.

"Arwen! What happened here? The last time I left you, you just had a foot sprain." Hori walked to her snapping out of his surprise about the two guy's behavior.

"Will people stop asking me that? I think I've heard that question at least ten times today!" She glared at him.
"No Baka. Just three times." Tasuki grinned.

"Great. Thanks for correcting me." She glared but then her eyes were a little softer whenever she looked at him, Julian noticed this.
"Well. Explain."

"You left. Then I fell asleep in front of the TV. I was hungry when I woke up, so I thought I'd get something to eat, then I got up and fell down cutting my forehead on the coffee table." She sounded exhausted.

"Why then, didn't you ask Mr. Tasuki for help Ari?" Tory sat beside her and held her hand.
"I'm sure he would have helped out." Anya smiled at Tasuki who nodded his good morning.
"Yeah. That's right, it's not like I would have killed you."

"Well. We got off on the wrong foot already this morning. And you were up in your room. I thought you were still up there so I didn't want to disturb you." She looked up at him a little anxiously.

"I told you Arwen. That's just down right silly."
"Who was in there?" Hori walked out of the kitchen holding a coffee mug. Tasuki nodded once.
" I told him how to-" Arwen began and Tasuki continued. "So I made it."
The other three looked at each of the speakers as they spoke in turn finally Julian blurted out,
"What the hell are the three of you talking about?"

"Coffee." The three of them said at once together making him jump a little.
"Ok! I get the point."

"It was very tasty too Tasuki. Don't tell me you didn't like it. I know you were enjoying it. I could see it in your expression." Arwen grinned taking hold of his hand and pulling him down to sit beside her on the couch.

He was again surprised, but he smiled and nodded nonetheless holding onto the hand she refused to let go of. "I didn't say no nothin."
Taking one of the coffee mugs that had been placed on the table Arwen looked at Julian who was sitting beside her lost in thought. She smiled mischievously.

"SO Juls. How is your fan?" His eyes widened at this and he nodded vigorously.
"Please! Not here!" he pleaded but the others were interested by now.
"Fan?" Anya asked anxiously, this brought mischievous smiles on Tory and Arwen's faces.

"Oh. It's a long story." Arwen grinned even more at Julian's embarrassed glare.
"Oh Of course we're all in for a long story." Tasuki grinned catching onto the tease.

"Well… you see Renée and Julian here are in the same class, with the same project as partners. Julian's objections were increasing in volume slowly.

"Stop! … Stop! … Stop! … Stop! …"

"She had a crush on him one day and wouldn't stop following him around. And now she thinks-" Julian cut her short clamping her mouth shut. But Tory continued. "But now she thinks Julian here is her god and has been following him around faithfully ever since, even though she's been asked out by every other guy in College." Tory laughed helplessly, as did the others.

This made Julian scowl badly. "Well Missy! You aren't particularly fan less as well." He shot out at Arwen absolutely irritated.
This shut everyone up at once.
"What?" she froze. Tasuki stiffened up as well.
"You heard me, if I didn't walk with you after College God knows what would happen to you!"
"Are you serious!" she exclaimed even more shocked.

"Damn sure. There are about 15 creeps following you around anywhere you go, AND I've got just one fan! One!"
This was the limit for her. Forgetting about her sprained foot she stood up and jerked Julian up by his collar. Ready to pound on his face with her closed fist she growled at him.

"Why the didn't you tell me this before! Out with the names! Now! Or else!"
Hori and Tasuki were on their feet. So was Tory. Tory pulled Julian free from her strong grip while Tasuki and Hori pulled her back away from him and sat her on the couch, holding her down to it. "Easy there. This isn't that important."

"Don't spoil yer leg fer this silly girl." Tasuki sat beside her again having a protective grip pulling her leg back up to the couch at the same time.
She didn't reply, but she still glared at Julian. "Is it true?"
He nodded as he calmed down from the shock. Anya was watching all this just as shocked as anyone else there, they never expected this out of the jumpy, sunny Arwen.

"It's True Nadi. I swear by your name." Julian replied earnestly.
"Well, well. Looks like we have two celebrities here in out group haven't we,"
"I'll bet you'll get the most no. Of V-day cards. Just you watch!" Julian grinned.

"I don't want any stupid Fan! Or dumb V-day cards." she scowled again making them all burst out laughing again, all except Tasuki.
He merely smiled, but he suspected that even though Julian was kidding about it, he was one among her fans as well. It was very clear.
Suppressing any more feelings of this sort he just had a good time hanging out.

We'll see about that too Julian. That day I'll find out as well. Not just one thing…

That was a rather silly little episode if I can call it that, but hey, I like to be dramatic and strange…. And um if you've noticed some similarities by now ( this is to only those of you who do recognize the tiny things I'm yaking about) it's meant to be… hey everyone does… my imagination is prodigious, ( and so I have been complimented ( gives humble bow)) but it ain't like I'm Tolkien is it?… so just read and enjoy. Oh and kindly review.

Kristall, thanks, I like the way you think. I hope they get together too, let's see how things go. And as for your fic let me know. I'll be among the first to read it. Promise…

A beintot.
