I don't have much to say except for: Thank you, my lovely reviewers~!
The first reviewer, either a guest or someone who didn't feel like logging in at the time, was rather harsh, but I understood. It's feedback. Though I would love my fist actual reviewer to be a little more kind. I guess I deserved it though. To that reviewer, thanks, I'm sorry if no changes like that come in the next ten chapters, since that's how far ahead I am, and I'm a real lazy ass, so I probably won't go back to change it.
The second reviewer, Jesusaj8, who mentioned in their review that they weren't fond of reviewing, is the one that made me cry. They'd given me my first compliment for this story and all I want to do right now is jump through this bloody digital world and glomp him/her XD
Anyways~ I'm sure I'm annoying you all with this frustratingly long AN, so read, review, tell me what you think.
(*With Yata*)
After she hugged me, we both went quiet, and simply hurried the rest of the way to Homra. I don't know about her, but I couldn't get these stupid red stains off my cheeks, forcing me to avoid eye contact with everyone by looking down.
When we got to Homra, I was greeted by Kusanagi.
"Hey Yata, you're back late" The bartender welcomed, "were you at the skatepark again?"
"Uh...no" I avoided looking at everyone as Miyuki, or Minatsu now, I guess, made herself known, though she still hid behind me.
"Whoa!"
"Wha's happening?!"
"This is crazy!"
"I cant believe he actually got a girlfriend!"
That last comment made me shout out "she's not my girlfriend!"
"Why not! She's cute!"
"See? Told you" I couldn't help but mumble to Minatsu, who blushed in response. Noticing the blush, I turned to get a better look.
"Well the compliment says otherwise" Kusanagi smirked, damn, he heard.
"That doesn't mean anything!" I glared.
"Alright, then why is she holding onto you?" Kusanagi pointed out.
"Eep!" Minatsu squeaked, letting go of me instantly.
The guys laughed, and I stood there thinking about how cute her squeak just was.
"Urgh, whatever! Do you know where Mikoto is?" I asked.
"He should be back soon, he just went out to get something for Anna" Kusanagi explained, "why?"
"Minatsu wants to join" I replied.
"What's her full name?" One of the guys asked.
"Minatsu Aka" Minatsu replied to them.
"Ooooh! First names!"
I could tell what the guys were getting at, and tried to make it clear again, "we're not together!"
"Lier!"
Kamamoto suddenly walked up and got a better look at Minatsu.
"You look familiar..." Kamamoto trailed off, trying to think of where he'd seen Minatsu before.
"Now that you mention it...yeah!" Akagi agreed.
"...It's that girl!" Bando realised, "remember? She's the one who found Yata's skateboard at the arcade!"
"Whoa!" Kamamoto stared, now remembering who she was.
"She even kept the skateboard!" Akagi added, pointing to the old metal skateboard Minatsu was holding.
"You kept that?" I blinked.
"Y-yeah" Minatsu nodded.
"Hey! You kept in contact!" Chitose realised.
"Damn you Yata!" Akagi playfully glared, "you had a girlfriend all this time and you didn't tell us!"
"She's not my girlfriend!" I protested.
"So you did ask her out! I cant believe you didn't tell us!" Kamamoto laughed, completely ignoring me.
"I didn't ask her out!" I yelled.
"So she asked you?" Kusanagi grinned.
"No!" I replied.
"I wish" Minatsu muttered.
"W-Wha?!" I yelped.
"What?" Minatsu blinked innocently, though her blushing gave it away.
"Y-you...yo-you j-just!" I began to stutter.
"Just what?" Minatsu wondered, sounding like a child as she turned her head slightly to the side, I felt my face go red.
"N-nevermind" I blushed, turning away, though I mentally swore to bring it up later.
"Hey, Mikoto's back!"
