Chapter 4
Anna's POV
Every time I look I see either Koko looking at me or look back at Nonoko messing with her mini potion's lab. This time I look up to see Koko watching me with an odd look. He notices me looking at him and turns away. He couldn't turn fast enough to hide his blush.
So of course, I set down my candy pot and grab a piece of paper and my favorite blue pen. I wrote him a note.
Anna: Hey! Is something wrong?
Koko: No...
Anna: Why were you staring at me?
He took a minute to reply but he eventually did,
Koko: You look... pretty... when you work that is.
Anna: Oh... okay
He looks at me with a confused look and writes:
Koko: What's wrong?
Anna: I thought you were going to say something more... I don't know... interesting.
Koko: You are pretty.
I blush after I read this. I feel his gaze on me again. I look at him and then start messing with my candy pot.
Koko's POV
Damn it! I'm such an idiot! Even though I got her to blush in the cutest way, I made a complete fool of myself! I really hope she doesn't reject me. I looked up and took the note back from her. She glanced at me.
Koko: I know I promised I would never read your mind and all, but I wanted to know if you liked me.
Anna took a moment to set her pot down and pick up the note. She looked at me a second and picked up her pen.
Anna: Yes I do
Koko: You do!
Anna: Yes I do, do you like me?
Koko:... Well ya. I was wondering if you wanted to date me.
Anna blushed and tapped her head. She put the note under her list of ingredients. I hesitated and read her mind.
Koko? She asked, I really like you. I'm glad you like me. And I'd be delighted to date you. I smiled and ran my hand over hers. In turn she grabbed mine.
Anna picked up her pot again and set about adding my favorite flavors that I had told her many years ago. I grabbed another piece wrote:
Koko: Have you asked?
I passed the note backwards to Kitsuneme. He grabbed it, annoyed.
Kitsuneme: Asked what?
Koko: Have you asked Nonoko out?
Kitsuneme:...
Koko: You haven't!
Nonoko: No he hasn't, why do you ask?
Koko: How did you get this!
Nonoko: You boys don't hide things from me very easily.
Kitsuneme added: Plus I gave it to her.
I shook my head and mentally glared at him. I then wrote: ASK HER OUT!
Anna's POV
I look over to see Nonoko intercept Koko's note. She blushes and smiles slightly. I write: What's going on?
Nonoko: Kitsuneme just asked me out.
Anna: REALLY!
Nonoko: Yes
Anna: What did you say?
Nonoko: What SHOULD I say?
Anna: You like him, so say yes... If you want.
Nonoko: I should have expected that from you.
Anna: I would hope so.
It took a moment but she replied.
Nonoko: I told him and he half floated to the ceiling.
I bit back my laughter and wrote: That's my girl. She didn't write back. I smiled at her and looked up. Ruka was looking at Mikan in a confused way.
Anna: What's going on?
Koko: Mikan gave Natsume a note that asked him to ask Ruka if he would ask Hotaru out.
Anna: Long sentence.
Koko: Sorry.
Anna: It's fine, so is he going to?
Koko: Natsume's going to tell Ruka what Mikan wants and I don't know what he'll do.
Anna: Okay then.
He nodded and drew a picture for me. It looked like this:

I looked at him like he was crazy.
Koko:It's a rabbit.
Anna: I see it now!
Koko: It wants to take over the world.
All I did was bite back more laughter.
