Author's Notes
Okay guys, I have updated once again. Congratulate me! Haha, just kidding. Anyway, I would like to thank the following reviewers for their reviews, constructive criticisms, suggestions, etc. For those who I forgot to put my write back here, I apologize deeply for I didn't keep my promise to you of making a write back. Please do forgive me.

BTW, I'm planning to make a new story. I think the main pairing of it will be Ayu and Tsujiai for a change. Ayu and Kaji pairing is kinda making me used to it already.

Wow, about that Yahoo! Messenger thing and the Windows Live Messenger, I'll just PM my YM details so we could chat up! And don't be sorry because I feel the same way about what I've been writing regards Ayu and Kaji. I mean, sometimes I would think that their intimacy would be too much or should we say overreacting already. I'll try to bring it down as I can and thank you for pointing that out. Finally, somebody already noticed that. Haha, just kidding again. :) And yes, it's really corny-mushy and I really think it's too much fluffy. Thanks again for saying that. :)

Talaga? Thanks for liking it and the updating thing, I'm not sure. I'm still trying to find a way to fit this updating thing into my rough schedule but of course I will try as hard as I can just to update. Thanks for being patient about it. Thanks again for your review. :)

Thanks for loving the previous chapter. And something in my mind is saying that the end is already about to come. Hmm, I wonder how. I have lots of ideas but what you guys want is also important. And your pen name is already cool and it's just up to you if you really want to change it. Everything's fine with me and no one's stopping you. :)

Thanks. I'll try to update as soon as I can and longer chapters as I can. But you see, sometimes I think that my chapters are only long because of my write backs to you guys. So sometimes I have to take the write back off to see how long I have already wrote. But it's okay. Sometimes I even change the font to 8.5 or something like that to make my story longer as I think I should. Thanks for your review:)

Lullaby OF DaRknEss
Yeah, it took me a really long time to update I can tell. Hmm, the last part of the chapter, I only did it for one day. Haha. I'm sorry, it depends upon my mood or feeling whether I update. :P Haha. But thanks anyway. And yeah, I really think so too. It's just not cheesy, but too cheesy. :D

I think Ayu and Kaji are too sweet, don't you think? Hehe. Thanks for loving my story and about Nina and Tsujiai being engaged? I'll have to think about it and when I think there's a part in this story that I could fit it in, I'll do it. God bless you, too:)

Really? Then we are both off of our hell for now. Hehe. Maybe there's a virus in your computer that's why it keeps happening. That happened to me too until my computer finally didn't turn on and it was mid-summer that's why I wasn't able to enjoy my summer, boo. I suggest you already have it fix as fast as you can to avoid destructions and whatever. :D I'm also waiting for your updates, too so good luck:)

'princess-reiya'
Haha. Thanks for loving it! Haha. Are you okay? You're kinda too excited. Hahhahaha! It's okay. Thanks for your review:)

Chapter Eighteen
Magic Gone Wild!

"Mou, Tsujiai, I'm already tired. Can we sit for awhile?" Nina whined.

"Sure," Tsujiai said as he led her to a bench.

"Agh, my feet are killing me!" Nina exclaimed as she stretched her legs.

Tsujiai chuckled. "Then why didn't you say so awhile ago? You could've said something," he said.

"But I was thinking that maybe I could spoil your fun or something," Nina explained.

"Oh come on, even so, I'm the one who brought us here so you shouldn't force yourself on something you really don't want. Next time, tell me at once, okay?" he asked.

"Okay, thanks Tsujiai." Nina said as Tsujiai kissed her cheek.

After a few moments, Nina stood up and stretched her arms and suddenly thought of an idea.

"Hey Tsujiai, want to go somewhere else?" Nina asked.

"Huh? Where are we going?" Tsujiai asked.

"Hmm, to the carnival or something." Nina replied.

"Huh? Are you kidding? There's no carnival around this place, is there?" Tsujiai asked as he looked around.

Nina giggled. "Silly, that's why I have magic, idiot!" she said.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Tsujiai said. "But how are we going there if we are in our bathing suits?" he asked.

"Oh Tsujiai, you're so full of questions. That's why I have magic, okay? Come on, let's find some place to hide." Nina said.

"You know Nina, we could go there using our own clothes in the cottage," Tsujiai sweat dropped having a bit worried about Nina's magic.

"Oh come on, it's easier this way. Don't you trust me?" Nina asked seeing the smug look on Tsujiai's face.

Tsujiai's sweat drop grew larger and just said, "Of course I trust you!" even though at the back of his mind he was still having second thoughts.

"Good. Now it's settled then," Nina said as they found a place to hind at the back of some trees. "Ready?"

"God help us," Tsujiai said to himself.

"Good evening mistress, how may I help you?" Nina's computer said.

"Hey, I want a change of clothes for me and Tsujiai. Can you do it?" Nina asked.

"Sure, of course mistress Nina." Nina's computer replied.

"Hey, don't you need some pieces of magazines or pictures of clothes or something?" Tsujiai asked curious.

"No need, my magic's level gone higher now. I told you not to worry," Nina explained.

"But I still think that Yuta's level is still higher than yours," Tsujiai chuckled.

"Mean, of course he's still higher since he doesn't need a computer anymore and I still do. Mou," Nina said as she browsed through the descriptions of clothes that her computer gave her. "Ahah! I want this for me, and... this for Tsujiai!" she said.

Tsujiai lay back at the tree and just watched her. Even though it's already about 6:30 PM, there are still a lot of students outside including Yuta and Sayaka.

"Practice!" Nina exclaimed as she clicked the button and suddenly their clothes were changed. It may be successful though but...

"Nina!" Tsujiai exclaimed.

"Wha-?" Nina asked as she looked back and suddenly laughed hysterically.

"Nina! What have you done? I thought you said that your level increased!" Tsujiai demanded.

"I'm sorry!" Nina apologized while still laughing.

Well, you see, instead of Nina having a girl's dress and Tsujiai having a guy's clothes, they interchanged! Meaning, Nina had the guy's clothes which were a brown long sleeve, denim pants and sneaker and Tsujiai got the girl's clothes which were a blue tank top and a white denim mini skirt and some flip flops.

"Hahahahahahahaha!" Nina kept on laughing as she looked at how small it was for Tsujiai. "Oh Tsujiai, you're so adorable!" she said as she took her digital camera and took pictures of Tsujiai while Tsujiai was just standing there, TOO pissed off to say anything.

"...Nina..." Tsujiai grunted under his breath.

"Yeah?" Nina asked as she still held the camera in her hand and still laughing.

"Instead of laughing, why don't you change our clothes once again!" Tsujiai boomed as Nina's body became smaller anime style and making Tsujiai's body bigger anime style.

Nina sweat dropped and apologized. "I'm sorry." she said as she put the camera away.

"A-Ah...Practice!" Nina tried again but Tsujiai's clothes became a penguin costume and hers became a Little Red Riding Hood one.

Nina was trying so hard not to laugh.

"Nina!" Tsujiai growled.

"Okay! Practice!" Nina tried again but Tsujiai's became a doll suit and hers became a pilot.

"...Nina..." Tsujiai said.

"Practice!" Nina said again but Tsujiai's clothes became a superman costume and hers became a pirate.

After a few MORE tries, Tsujiai gave up even though Nina insisted on continuing.

"Nina, STOP!" Tsujiai said.

"I'm really sorry!" Nina cried.

"Nina, look, it's already 7 PM. Why don't we just change in our own clothes?" Tsujiai suggested.

Nina sighed. "Fine, I'm really sorry, Tsujiai." she said.

"It's okay Nina. I know you try hard." Tsujiai said as their clothes went back to their swimsuits and they went back to the cottage.

In the cottage

"Hey guys, where have you been?" Ayu asked when she saw Nina and Tsujiai enter the house.

"Yeah, we've been looking everywhere for you awhile ago but we thought that you might need some time alone so we stopped looking." Yuta said.

Kaji, Yuta and Sayaka were seated in the dining table eating supper.

"Well, we were about to go to the carnival using Nina's magic but we ended up playing dress up," Tsujiai said feeling tired.

"Huh? Dress up?" Sayaka asked.

"It's a long story," Nina said laughing quite nervously.

"Okay," Sayaka said.

"Why don't you guys eat? You look tired, Tsujiai." Kaji said.

"Yeah, sure. I'll change first." Tsujiai said as he entered their room and Nina entered their bathroom.

"What an odd couple," Ayu said as she sat down beside Kaji.

"Oh yeah? I don't think so. Because of Nina's bubbly character, they seem to be an exciting couple." Yuta said as he took a spoonful of spaghetti. "Wow Ayu, this food rocks!" he exclaimed.

"Thanks," Ayu said. "By the way, has anyone of you seen Akiho?" she asked as she started eating.

"We saw her leave the house awhile ago with her stuff." Sayaka replied as she took a can of juice.

"No way! Why?" Ayu asked.

"The bitch knows her stuff." Yuta said.

"Don't say that," Ayu said.

"It's true." Yuta said.

"Where do you think she is living now with?" Kaji asked.

"Maybe with her friends, naturally." Yuta said.

Akiho

"Hey Akiho, what are you doing here?" Jenny, one of her friends said as Akiho went inside their cottage. Mr. Mikami was with her.

"Students, Hiroto will be staying with you from now on since she is complaining about her old companions. I expect that you won't let her feel the same way she said they did since you are her friends." Mr. Mikami said as he left.

Nina and Tsujiai

Everybody already finished eating and Yuta and Sayaka had a water fight while washing the dishes and so they are both soaking wet, again. Ayu and Kaji were watching a movie, "Just My Luck" in the living room. Nina and Tsujiai were in their room just talking.

"Hey Tsujiai, want to go to the carnival?" Nina asked. Tsujiai was lying down in their bed and Nina was sitting down beside him.

"Oh come on Nina, it's already late. We can go tomorrow." Tsujiai declined.

"Tsujiai, come on, you're no fun. Besides, we can be back here before midnight." Nina explained.

"No, I wanna rest." Tsujiai said as he turned to his side feigning sleep.

"Please?" Nina said as she turned and looked at Tsujiai's closed eyes.

"No," Tsujiai breathed.

"No?" Nina asked.

"No." Tsujiai repeated. Suddenly, he felt a tingling sensation running through his face. Nina was caressing his face! God, she's so stubborn.

"Nina, for the last time--" Tsujiai was cut off by Nina's lips.

After a few minutes, Nina pulled away. Tsujiai disappointed but he didn't show it.

"Please, can we go?" Nina asked desperately.

"Ugh. How can I reject after that?" Tsujiai smiled.

"Thanks a lot Tsujiai! I love you!" Nina exclaimed as she jumped on Tsujiai making Tsujiai fall off the bed with her. But they still ended up laughing. Ü

"Haha. I know." Tsujiai said as he helped them both up to stand. "I love you, too." he said as he left the room with her following behind.

When they got pass the living room, they saw the 4 watching the movie and Yuta laughing hysterically! Nina sweat dropped as she watched the maniac being all goofy and all.

It was about time since Sayaka noticed them. "Hey guys, what's up? Wanna watch the movie?" she invited.

"Yeah, there's a lot more popcorn left." Ayu said.

"No thanks, we're going out." Tsujiai said.

"Oh? Where are you two lovebirds going?" Kaji teased and Yuta teased by whistling.

Nina blushed and Tsujiai just looked in another direction. "We're just going to the carnival." Nina managed to say.

"At this time of night?" Ayu asked as she took some popcorn. Kaji paused the movie for awhile since they are talking to Nina and Tsujiai.

"Yeah, many carnivals are still open at this time of night." Tsujiai said.

"How are you suppose to go there without anyone noticing you?" Kaji asked.

"Magic, of course." Nina said.

"If you're going to use magic, I suggest, Tsujiai don't go!" Yuta warned teasingly making the others laugh.

"Haha. Very funny, guys," Nina said. "My magic's level has gone higher, you know." she added.

Yuta laughed. "Okay, whatever you say. Just to make sure, I'm just going to take you there." he suggested.

"No thank you, Yuta." Nina bit out her tongue to him while Tsujiai brushed his hair back using his hands.

"Yeah. No thanks, Yuta since I'll be the one who'll take them there." Sayaka said as she got ready.

"What, Sayaka? You can do magic?" Ayu asked surprised.

"Yeah, don't you know?" Yuta looked at her.

"No, duh." Ayu pointed out.

"Haha. Well, now you know," Yuta said.

"So, are you guys ready?" Sayaka asked Nina and Tsujiai.

"Sure, whatever." Tsujiai said.

"Hold it! I won't let you do that. I will use my own magic to---" Nina was cut off by Yuta sending them to the carnival.

"Hey! No fair, Yuta. I was about to do that!" Sayaka whined.

"Oh stop complaining Sayaka, I want to continue watching the movie without those two!" Yuta explained.

"Hmph. Fine," Sayaka gave up as Kaji clicked 'play' in the remote and they continued watching.

Carnival

"Good thing we were here with only one try. We should've asked either Yuta or Sayaka to change our clothes awhile ago." Tsujiai teased as he looked around and he was sure they were at the carnival since there were a lot of people and rides, booths all that stuff.

When he didn't hear anyone complaining, he looked beside him and saw...Nina crying? No way!

"Hey Nina..." Tsujiai said softly.

"What's the matter with you, Tsujiai? I am already trying to impress you using my magic and you still think that I'm a low level witch!" Nina whined.

"Oh come on Nina, I didn't say that. Thanks for the effort of trying to impress me but," Tsujiai explained.

"There! You said it! You just like the effort I'm making of using my magic to impress you and not the magic specifically! Oh, I hate you, Tsujiai!" Nina said. They were making quite a scene already and a lot of people thought that they were some kids that were dreaming of magic and fantasies. People looked at them weirdly actually.

Tsujiai blushed and sweat dropped while trying to calm down his whining/crying girlfriend.

"Nina, come on. Don't say that. I also like your magic. Every time you do it, I really like it. You make things that no ordinary human can. You're an extra special girl. You're my extra special girl." Tsujiai said as he hugged Nina and let her cry in his shirt. "Quiet now. We're here to have fun and not to have tears in our eyes because of sadness. Calm down now," he said soothingly.

Nina nodded against his shirt and when she already toned down, Tsujiai pulled away not too far and looked at her. "There, better?" he asked smiling.

Nina nodded again and hugged him. "Oh, I love you Tsujiai!" she exclaimed.

"I love you too, Nina." Tsujiai smiled as he hugged her back. After awhile, he took her hands and said, "Now, let's go have some fun!"

"Yeah!" Nina said.

They were going to have a great time tonight.

End

Author's Notes
Okay guys, that was the end of chapter 18 of this story. Hey, if anyone complained about it being short, come to me and I'll burn you! Kidding! Haha. But still, it was still hard you know. Good thing I had lots of ideas today. :D Now tell me, was it too mushy for Nina and Tsujiai or was it just okay? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! I'm kinda getting bored with Ayu and Kaji's moments already so I decided in this chapter to have some Nina and Tsujiai for a change. After a few chapters of Nina and Tsujiai will be Yuta and Sayaka. I promise. Whew, I made it! I only did this chapter in one day! Yehey! Congratulate me people! Joke! Anyway, please do review and tell me what do you think about this chapter.

Always smiling,
