"Hotaru! Wow! You're really coming with us to Central Town!This is so awesome!"Mikan said with tears of joy, sparkling in her eyes but

BAKA!

BAKA!

Hotaru hit her with a BAKA gun (Hotaru: Well, she's getting more annoying, with that stupid expression on her face)

While the bus was moving its way to Central Town, Mikan saw outside the Main Hall and she pointed out the window

"Hey Hotaru! Look! The main hall!"Mikan said enthusiastically

"So"Hotaru asked straightfowardly

"Well, you see, the Host Club activity is held there"Mikan said, then Hotaru's eyes sparked, which kind of caught Natsume and Ruka's attention

"And?"Hotaru said

"And, I was...um, planning to go there. Anna and Nonoko went on ahead and probably they're already inside"Mikan said while playing with her thumbs

"Oh"Hotaru said

"So, you want to come with me Hotaru to the Main Hall later?"Mikan asked, which caught Natsume's and Ruka's attention, and luckily Hotaru noticed it coming

"Maybe"Hotaru said

"GREAT!!!"Mikan exclaimed

"Do you mind, I'm trying to sleep,little girl"Natsume teased

"Hmph...Sorry!"Mikan said and pulled out her tongue at Natsume

The bus had arrive at Central Town bus stop. The two girls and two boys went out of the bus and went straight to the shopping district. Mikan kept on looking at every window of the stores and the two boys can't help but look at her smiling face

"Hey"Hotaru said to the boys

"What?"Ruka and Natsume asked

"Why are you staring at Mikan? Is there something on her face?"Hotaru asked,which made the two boy's spines tingle

"Because she's amazingly stupid with that pretty stupid smile sticking on her face"Natsume said and released an annoying smirk

'Amazing?Pretty?'Hotaru thought

"W-Wha?! I-I'm not staring! What should I look at her face anyway?!"Ruka stuttered,blushing bright red

"Her CUTE smiling face"Hotaru said and that made Ruka silent and looks at the other direction

'Hn...typical' Hotaru thought. The four teens kept on walking but surprisingly,they saw someone very familiar to them

"Hey, look guys, it's Youichi"Mikan said

"But, who's that girl clinging on him?"Natsume asked

"She's kinda cute"Ruka said which creeped Mikan and Natsume

"By the way, where's Hotaru?"Mikan asked. The two boys was surprised and looked everywhere, but then they saw Hotaru following Youichi and the girl

"Let's go"Natsume commanded and then the three of them tiptoed their way to Hotaru

"Hotaru! What are you doing?!"Mikan asked

"Obviously I'm following them, the three of you, why are you following me?"Hotaru asked

"Because you're following Youichi"Ruka said

"Sempais, what are you doing here?"Youichi asked

"Youichi, who are they?"the girl asked

"Youichi!"Mikan, Ruka and Hotaru said

"Hey"Natsume said

"Hey"Youichi said

"Who's the girl?"Natsume asked

"Yeah Youichi, what's her name?"Mikan asked and Youichi blushed slightly,then the girl approached the three teens

"Hello, I'm Nekozawa Kirimi, nice to meet you"the girl bowed and smiled

"Kirimi?"Hotaru asked

"Hi! I'm Mikan, nice to meet you too Kirimi!"Mikan said and the two girls giggles with each other

"Hey Youichi, good job"Natsume said

"Yes Natsume-sempai"Youichi said

"By the way, how did you two met each other?" Ruka asked and the two children blushed slightly

"Well, you see..."Kirimi said

Flashback

"Oniichan! Oniichan! Where are you?! Oniiiiiichaaaaan!"Kirimi shouted while walking at the Northern Forest

"O-ON-ONI-NII-CHAN!"Kirimi sobbed and took a rest at the big Sakura tree. But...

"Hey"Youichi said, while resting on top of the Sakura tree

"Huh...Who's there?!"Kirimi asked and looked around

"Over here"Youichi exclaimed and Kirimi looked up at the tree

"Oh"Kirimi was speechless when she saw a gray-haired boy with blue eyes, looking at her, while sitting on the branch of the Sakura tree. Youichi was startled when he saw Kirimi's beautiful face, surrounded by her shiny golden,blonde hair. Then Youichi jumped down from the branch and faced Kirimi

"What are you doing here?"Youichi asked

(Sobbing)"You see...I've got separated from oniichan because of the large crowd"Kirimi said while wiping her tears

"What's your name?"Youichi asked

"Ne-Ne-Neko-zawa K-Kirimi"Kirimi sobbed

"Hijiri Youichi,now,now stop crying.Crying doesn't solve anything"Youichi said

"I-If s-so, I..."Kirimi sobbed

"Come, I'll help you"Youichi said and offered his hand to Kirimi

(sniffs)"O-Okay.."Kirimi said and took Youichii's hand and walked together

End of Flashback

"So, you see, Youichi-kun was helping me in search for my oniichan. Sadly, we're not getting anywhere"Kirimi said

"Oh"Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka looked at Youichi with a spark, getting the idea that Youichi has crush at Kirimi

"Kirimi! Kirimi!"a guy with a weird puppet on his hand and was wearing a black hood exclaimed, running towards Kirimi

"Oniichan!!"Kirimi exclaimed and ran towards te guy and hugged him

"Kirimi, I'm so worried! I'm glad that you're safe"the black hooded guy said

"Hey, who are you?"Mikan asked

"Thank you for taking care of my little sister. I'm Kirimi's older brother,Nekozawa Umehito "Nekozawa said

"Sure, no problem"Mikan said "But, the one who did the rescuing was this young boy over here" Mikan sligthly pushed Youichi to Nekozawa

"Oh, so this young lad did. I'm grateful for taking care of my little sister. As a sign of my gratitude, I gave you this limited edition Beelzenif puppet"Nekozawa handed over to Youichi a weird looking puppet

"Thanks"Youichi said

"Well, we're better go on our way, nice knowing all of you"Nekozawa said

"Y-Yeah, you too"Ruka said, then the Nekozawa siblings walked on the other direction but

"Heeeeeeey! Youichi! Let's go out sometimes OKAY!"Kirimi waved her hand and smiled sweetly, which made Youchi release a slight smile on his face

"Alright! Nice going Youichi!"Ruka said

"Yeah, Youichi, she totally likes you"Mikan said

"Hm"Youichi said

"Anyway, I'm going then"Natsume said and walked away from the clique

"Hey, Natsume sempai! I'm coming too!"Youichi said

"Ruka, aren't you going with Natsume?"Mikan asked

"Nah, I'll catch up to them later. Right now, I'm just going somewhere...BYE!"Ruka ran away in a flash, heading his way to the animal shelter

"So, Hotaru, lets go to the Main Hall! I bet Haruhi and the others are waiting for us"Mikan said

"Yeah, why not"Hotaru smiled as well and the two girls walked their way to the bus, heading for the Main Hall

Meanwhile...

"Hey Youichi"Natsume said

"Yeah, what is it?"Youichi asked

"Do you like her? Kirimi, that is"Natsume asked

"Yes, I, really like her, Natsume-sempai"Youichi said with a smile

"What did you find interesting in that girl?"Natsume asked calmly

"Kirimi-chan reminds me of Mikan-sempai. Kirimi has, the same warm smile that Mikan-sempai used to gave me"Youichi said

"Oh really?"Natsume asked

"Yeah!"Youichi said

"That's good"Natsume said

"What, Natsume Sempai?"Youichi asked

"Oh, nothing"Natsume said
