Chapter 7

"A date?!" exclaimed Reika. "With Yuusuke-kun?"

Midori was wearing her green dress that she arrived with. She laughed and twirled around in joy. "Hai! I had Leo-kun help me make some lunch for us!" She started dancing around. "Date! Date! A date with Yuusuke-kun!"

Reika looked at Midori suspiciously. "I'm surprised Yuusuke-kun would agree to be alone with you…"

Midori looked at her and began to explain…

(Flashback)

Yuusuke, Kyo, Midori and Mahiro were all in Dr. Chigusa's office. "The boy's and girls really aren't getting along well are they?" asked Dr. Chigusa.

"Not really… no" replied Kyo, flatly. "And the Baka Trio's antics aren't making things any easier. It's only lucky that Kat can keep those three morons in line."

"So, I was thinking of organizing an outing for sometime soon…"

"For both girls and boys?" questioned Yuusuke.

"Yes, and I would like you four to be representatives for bringing the boys and girls together" replied Dr. Chigusa.

"Us?" questioned Midori.

"Why Yuusuke and me?" asked Kyo.

"Because you two seem like the only two 'normal' boys around," said Dr. Chigusa. "And you also seem to be on good terms with the girls."

"Trust me, I'm not normal. And the only reason I'm on good terms with the girls is because I leave them alone." said Kyo. "If anyone, you should go with Leo instead of me. Leo's pretty popular around them even if he doesn't seem to notice most of the time."

"C'mon, Kyo! It'll be fun!" said Mahiro. Kyo sighed.

"Fine…" replied Kyo in defeat.

"I'm not really…" began Yuusuke.

"Hai! We'll do it! I'll work hard with Yuusuke-kun! You can count on us!" exclaimed Midori.

"Okay. I'm counting on you four," said Dr. Chigusa, with a smile.

(End Flashback)

"And so, we're going to look for a place where we can have some fun," said Midori. She began to fix her hair. "Hey, how's my hair?"

"Same as always" replied Reika.

"And my clothes? A little too plain, maybe?"

"Beats me…"

"Hey!" said Midori, irritated.

"Anything will do… Since nothing will happen anyway."

"Something will happen! Yuusuke-kun will remember how we were!"

"What could possibly happen when he doesn't even like you? Isn't Yuusuke-kun getting close to other girls… like Futaba? And even if you were to get him alone, those three would be a nuisance. See? Yuusuke-kun and you will never get together. That's what fate has in store for you."

Midori looked angry. "I won't lose to anyone if I could only get a chance to be alone with Yuusuke-kun! If nothing gets in my way, I can also get close to Yuusuke-kun!"

"I wonder…"

"Then let me be alone with Yuusuke-kun and it'll become crystal clear."

"Well, I guess."

"If it doesn't work then I'll give up on Yuusuke-kun!"

"Really?" asked Reika skeptically.

"For real!" replied Midori.

Reika smiled. "You're on." Midori smiled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ano, you need my help, Kyo-san?" Leo asked as he was sitting at the desk doing some homework.

"Well, you can cook really well and we need all the help we can get to keep everyone satisfied," Kyo said.

"And what about me?" Kat asked. All three of them were in Kyo's room. Kat was reading a magazine while lying on her brother's bed.

"Well, those three perverted morons might try something so you should keep an eye out for them and protect the girls. You too, Leo. I need you both to look after Yukimura." Yukimura was asleep in the corner. "You probably don't have to look after him for long. Mizuki said that she'd stop by to pick him up today."

"Heck, if I get to beat them up again, that's good enough for me."

"Onee-chan…" Leo chided but then replied to Kyo, "You can count on me, Kyo-san."

"Good, oh and Midori asked me to hand this to you," Kyo said, holding out a folded note. "It's from Sanae, she said."

Leo smiled and took the note before unfolding it and reading its contents. He sighed and smiled.

"I bet Sanae will love hanging on you the whole time," Kat teased.

"Onee-chan…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kat was walking through the hallway when she noticed Reika coming up to her. "Hi, Reika-san."

"Hi, Kat-chan. I was wondering if I could get your help on something…" Reika then explained her plan to Kat.

"Sure, I'll do anything that let's me mess with those three."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo was outside, dressed in a blue kimono and a slightly darker blue hakama. He still wore his goggles and scarf though and he was doing kendo exercises while Sanae just watched. When he was done, he wiped the sweat off his forehead with his scarf and went over to Sanae who handed him a bottle of water. She even applauded him.

"That was great, Leo-kun!" she said.

"Arigato, Sanae-chan," Leo nodded. He was thinking, 'Must get stronger to protect her. I can't let what happened before happen again!'

"I heard you were helping out during the outing," she said to him.

"Hai, I am," he confirmed. "I'll be in charge of making the food."

"If it's from you, I'll know it's good, like these sandwiches you prepared," she smiled as she took a bite out of a sandwich he had prepared earlier.

"I'll try to make other things besides sandwiches."

"And like always, they'll be good."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later…

Kyo and Yuusuke were going to meet up with the girls. They then noticed Bacchi-Gu. He was wearing a purple robe and his teeth seemed to be plated gold. Yuusuke and Kyo were freaked out. "Hey, guys, what's the problem?" asked Bacchi-Gu. "You look troubled."

"You're the one that's troubled!" replied Kyo.

"What's with you? What's with that outfit?" asked Yuusuke. "And your teeth?"

"I have a date with Reika-chan," said Bacchi-Gu.

'Does he really think that she would go out with him?' asked Demon Eyes Kyo.

'I don't know. He's a complete idiot. He'll believe anything,' replied Kyo.

"More over, we're meeting in the P.E. storeroom. No one ever goes in there."

"Huh, the P.E. storeroom?" asked Yuusuke.

"You know what that means don't you?"

"Huh?"

"Playing dumb again…"

"Well Bacchi-Gu, we gotta get going. You go be stupid somewhere else" said Kyo as he pulled Yuusuke away. "Let's go Yuusuke. It's time for your date with Midori."

"It's not a date!" Yuusuke denied.

Bacchi-Gu grinned and did kissy faces, "We'll be making out and maybe she'll let me touch her!"

Yuusuke looked disgusted. Just why did he hang with these three anyway?

"Onwards to my destiny and Reika-chan's lips!" Bacchi-Gu declared as he marched to his destination, followed by Ichiban-Boshi and Tenjin.

"Ah, Sanae-chan!" Tenjin exclaimed as he saw Sanae but frowned when his eyes were on Leo. "And Narukawa…"

Sanae hid behind Leo and took hold of his hand. Tenjin growled and then walked with the other two of the Baka Trio.

Sanae and Leo walked towards Kyo and Yuusuke. Sanae was clutching onto Leo's arm.

"Is she okay?" Kyo asked.

"Tenjin-san just frightened her," Leo replied, frowning. "I do believe there is something not right with him?"

"There's nothing right with any of them," Yuusuke grumbled.

"I think Bacchi-Gu's choice of clothing was an indication," Leo said. Sanae giggled.

Kyo raised an eyebrow, "Did you just make a joke?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Baka Trio had entered the P.E. Room and Reika's voice beckoned, "Oh, Bacchi-Gu-chan! Come here!" It was seductive and Bacchi-Gu had steam coming out of his ears. The room was dark if you want to know.

"Oh, Reika-chan! Your prince is here!" he followed after the voice and so did his two companions. When they saw a female human figure, Bacchi-Gu grabbed its shoulders and spun it around before pressing his lips to its face. "Your lips are so…cold?" He backed up and under the limited lighting reflected by his gold plated teeth, he realized he had been kissing a mannequin.

"Bacchi-Gu, I think you should see this," Tenjin picked up a walkie-talkie.

"Oh, Bacchi-Gu!" Reika moaned and then they heard a familiar voice laughing. It was Kat!

"Hey, you perverted morons! Sorry, but you won't be going on that outing unless we can help it so spend the next few hours locked in there!" Kat's voice exploded from the other end and then they heard a click. They ran towards the door and began banging on it but there was no one to let them out.

Or they were there but ignored the Trio. Kat twirled the keys around her index finger and grinned and said to Reika, "Operation: Zero Hentai had been accomplished."

"Good, now let's help Midori-chan get ready, Kat-chan," Reika said, smiling wide.

"OK!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They group was in a large field. "This place is great!" exclaimed Midori. "Don't you guy's think it's the perfect place for a campfire!"

"Yeah…" replied Yuusuke, uninterested.

"Fireworks would be fun too! It's also the perfect place to have some lunch!" She fell back and lay on the grass.

"Hai," agreed Leo. Everyone sat down except for Yuusuke.

Yuusuke began to walk away. "Let's go…" Kyo got up and grabbed Yuusuke. He dragged him back towards the group. "Nani?! Kyo what are you doing?!"

Kyo sat Yuusuke down next to Midori. "Sit down," ordered Kyo. Kyo sat between him and Mahiro. He handed Yuusuke a sandwich. "Eat."

"I'm not hungry," refused Yuusuke.

"Fine, starve," said Kyo. They then heard the sound of hooves rushing toward them. They noticed a large shadow charging at them. Everyone got out of the way except for Kyo.

"Kyo-kun, get out of there!" yelled Midori. Kyo just grabbed his sword and waited. A large armored humanoid rhinoceros exploded from the forest and charged at Kyo.

"Kyo!!!" exclaimed the group. At the last possible second Kyo turned around and halted the creature with his sword.

"Now you're a big one, aren't you?" questioned Kyo with a smirk. Kat and Leo's phones beeped.

"It's a Beast Spirit!" exclaimed Kat.

Kyo jumped back and sighed. "Well that's no fun." He sheathed his blade and turned to Kat and Leo. "You two take care of it. I'll look after the others."

Kat stared at the raging Beast Spirit. It had grey skin and clad in dark green armor. It was bulky in appearance and appeared humanoid, standing on two legs. The blood on its horn told them enough of what they had to do.

"Otouto-chan, you handle it," Kat said. "I'll make sure your girlfriend and the others are safe!"

"Hai!" Leo glared at the Rhino Beast Spirit, "I don't know if you can understand me, but right now I don't really care. You ruined a perfectly good day for me and well; I'm frankly getting sick of it!" Leo slid the Category Ace of Spades into his Advent Buckle and the belt wrapped around his waist. "Henshin!"

"CHANGE SEIRYU!"

"I am the man that shall create the path to his destiny with the slash of his blade. I am Advent Knight Draco! Tenzan!" It was a good thing that everyone had evacuated, well except for Kyo, since Leo needed to keep his identity a secret. It would've pretty hard to be in school if everyone saw him transform.

"You really need to think up some new lines…" suggested Kyo.

Leo, now transformed into Advent Knight Draco, charged at the Rhino Beast Spirit and sent it reeling to the ground with a punch, or, it might've if the thing didn't charge back and hit Draco in the chest with a horn. Draco screamed in pain as he was sent flying and tumbled across the ground. The Rhino Beast Spirit grunted and then stampeded towards Draco, who just got back to his feet. Draco gulped as he saw the tip of the Beast Spirit's horn pointed right at him. He rolled out of the way and drew his sword.

The Beast Spirit turned back around and dashed towards Draco, catching him in the back. Sanae gasped, "Leo!" but was relieved when she saw that Leo had caught the horn under his arm and then grasped it with his hand.

"RAIJIN!" Draco shouted and he began electrocuting the Beast Spirit. It roared in agony before Draco let go and then kicked it in the fast. Spreading the card panels out, Draco plucked two of the only cards he had and slashed them through his Seiryu Blade.

"SLASH!"

"TACKLE!"

The images of both cards appeared above him before they were absorbed. Draco's eyes flashes as he took a running start towards the Beast Spirit who charged back. Draco's shoulder hit it in the chest and sent it flying and a quick swing from Draco actually sliced its horn off. It fell to the ground. Draco then sheathed his sword and prepared another attack, concentrating on his electrical powers.

"RAIJIN KICK!" he announced as he leapt into the air and then extended his right foot, aiming at the Beast Spirit. His body crackled with electricity as he launched himself at it with the aid of his wind powers. His foot smashed the Beast Spirit in the face and then sent it flying into a large tree. It slid down and slumped over. Draco knew that it had been defeated and he threw one of his Blank Seal cards and it stuck to the Beast Spirits. The creature was then absorbed into the card before it flew back into Draco's hand.

"Category 4 of Clubs: Rush Rhinoceros," he read. He snapped his belt close and the energy field changed him back to normal. He turned around to see Sanae run over with his sister following her and he asked her, "Sanae-chan, daijoubu?"

"Sorry, otouto-chan, she got away from me!" Kat apologized.

Sanae nodded but then noticed that Leo had some bruises and scrapes. "You're hurt!"

"Oh, this happens all the time. Daijoubu…" Sanae took his hand. "Huh?"

"I'm taking you to Dr. Chigusa to get you checked out!"

Kyo chuckled as Kat grinned. Kyo commented, "Looks like they are getting really close."

"I agree," Kat nodded.

"Why didn't you help him?" Kyo asked.

"I was," Kat defended. "I had to keep everyone away so that my otouto-chan could work."

"You're a good sister," Kyo teased, but got elbowed in the gut.

"Shut up."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Well, I'm done," Dr. Chigusa said as she finished wrapping Leo's wounds up. "And they aren't infected, lucky for you. I can't believe you decided to stay and fight that thing while the other students evacuated."

"Gomen nasai, Dr. Chigusa," Leo apologized. "It's just that, well, I was raised to protect the people close to me. I wasn't going to let that creature hurt anyone."

"Where is that thing now?"

"Gone," Leo answered.

"Gone?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Just gone. You won't see it ever again."

Sanae walked into the room and asked, "Can I come in?"

"Sure," Dr. Chigusa smiled. "I'll leave you two alone." She left her office as Sanae walked in.

"Are you alright?" Sanae asked concerned.

"Hai," he nodded.

"But your bandages…"

"Occupational hazard. It's nothing to worry about."

"I was just so afraid that…"

"Daijoubu. Ano, Sanae-chan, would you like to come with me to the field to look at the clouds? There should be a lot of them right now."

"Looking at clouds?" she questioned.

"It's something I like to do and…" he looked at the window. "Oh, it's going to be raining soon. Maybe later then."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm going to go check on my otouto-chan and Sanae," said Kat as she turned to leave.

"Later," said Kyo. They turned to leave. Midori stayed behind, looking sad. Kyo told Mahiro to go and that he'd catch up. "What's wrong, Midori-san?"

She looked at him. "Kyo-kun… Yuusuke-kun didn't eat the lunch I made him."

Kyo sighed. "Don't worry about him. He just doesn't understand this kind of thing. Now c'mon, we got work to do."

"Hai, Kyo-kun!"

They now stood in front of a caged off cave. "Wouldn't this cave would be great for a tunnel of horror?" asked Midori. "We could open it up."

"Yeah, it's nice and spooky," said Kyo.

"Isn't it a little dangerous?" asked Mahiro.

"And preparation would be a real pain," added Yuusuke.

"But that's the fun part!" argued Midori.

"Well, let's go," said Yuusuke.

"What?!" whined Midori. They all walked away from the cave. Kyo could have sworn that he heard a hissing sound coming from the cave.

They were walking in the forest back to school. Kyo and Mahiro stayed a little behind so Yuusuke and Midori could have some alone time. "Yuusuke-kun's not into it…" said Midori sadly.

"And no wonder! Making me do all this at your convenience," said Yuusuke.

"We still have more places to investigate." Midori ran up to Yuusuke and grabbed his arm. "Let's have a look!" Yuusuke pulled his arm away.

"Go with Kyo and Mahiro," said Yuusuke.

"Going with them won't mean anything!"

"Why is that?"

"Because this is a date."

Kyo and Mahiro fell over, 'She really thinks that this is a date?!' thought Kyo.

"Our first date!" said Midori as she blushed.

"This… is a date?" asked Yuusuke.

"It is!" exclaimed Midori. She then counted off the reasons on her fingers. "Walking through the forest together, eating lunch together, bathing in the sun together in the field… See, this is a wonderful date!"

"Stop labeling things on your own!" said Yuusuke.

"What's wrong with it?!"

"I'm pissed at your selfish ways of doing things, like what you're doing right now!" yelled Yuusuke.

Midori looked saddened. "Well, sorry for being so selfish!" She started walking away.

"Hey, wait! Mido--" began Yuusuke. It began to rain. Yuusuke ran after Midori. "The dorms aren't that way!"

"Ah, shit!" cursed Kyo. "Let's go find some shelter."

They came across an old shack and decided to stay there until the rain died down. The girls had stripped down to their underwear and the guy's were only wearing their pants. Their clothes formed a barrier between them. Midori sneezed. "Are you alright?" asked Yuusuke.

Midori thought about what Reika had said earlier. 'What could possibly happen when he doesn't even like you?'

"Are you okay, Midori-chan?" asked Mahiro.

"I'm fine…" Midori sneezed again.

Yuusuke stood up and asked, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Don't look!" yelled Midori.

Yuusuke turned back around. "Why would I?!"

"You're really not… but you looked at Futaba-chan's…" Midori thought about the incident at the bath.

"That was an accident I just happened to be…"

"Yuusuke, if you know what's good for you, you'll shut up and sit down" said Kyo.

He sat down. "I wasn't…" Midori threw him a handkerchief. "What's this?"

"I don't want you blaming me if you get a cold…"

"Thank you" said Yuusuke. His stomach growled. Midori pushed the lunch she made for him closer.

"Here. Since I made it for you to eat…"

"No thanks. I don't want to get sick or anything." Kyo hit Yuusuke on the head with his sheath.

"Just eat the food, baka" said Kyo.

Midori burst through the clothes. "How rude!" Kyo and Yuusuke backed away.

"Look at my eyes, Mahiro. They are nowhere near Midori!" said Kyo. 'Don't look! I have a girlfriend! I have a girlfriend!'

'Just look already, kid!' said Demon Eyes Kyo.

'Shut up, you perverted old man!'

Mahiro giggled, "Okay, Kyo, I believe you."

Yuusuke turned around and started eating the sandwiches Midori had made. "I hope the rain will stop soon…" Midori smiled.

Midori looked out the window. "Hey, it stopped raining!"

"Then let's head back," said Yuusuke. Midori and Mahiro saw something and they both smiled. They ran outside.

"What's going on?" asked Kyo.

Kyo and Yuusuke ran outside. They saw a rather large hot spring. "Wow…" said Kyo.

"Why is there a hot spring in a place like this?" asked Yuusuke.

"It's my first time seeing one!" exclaimed Midori.

A sly smile crept across Mahiro and Midori's faces. They then said, "Let's go in."

Kyo and Yuusuke were taken back by this. "NANI?!" exclaimed the boys.

"I'm going back," said Yuusuke as he turned to walk away. Kyo did his best to avoid looking at the girls and walked away. Midori and Mahiro stripped and got into the spring. Kyo did his best not to look back.

"It feels good…" said Midori.

"It sure does," agreed Mahiro.

Kyo and Yuusuke slowly came to a stop…

They were now in the hot spring away from the girls. "Well, doesn't it feel good?" asked Midori.

"Why don't you two come over here?" asked Mahiro. Kyo gulped. "There's more room over here." Kyo and Yuusuke slowly slid closer to the girls.

Kyo noticed three monkeys staring at them that looked like the Baka Trio. "That's just wrong," said Kyo.

"Midori, what could you possibly like in a guy like me?" asked Yuusuke.

"Because Yuusuke-kun is Yuusuke-kun," answered Midori. "Because you can't leave behind a person in need, because you're a nice person and you're nice to the girls."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo and Sanae were sitting on the field. It had rained earlier so they had taken shelter in Dr. Chigusa's office. After it had rained, Leo laid a blanket over the ground so they could both sit on it. Leo looked up into the sky, admiring a rainbow that had just formed.

"Sugoi…" Leo said with a smile before turning to look at Sanae, "I've always liked to look at the sky. The things up there are so lovely, don't you agree, Sanae-chan?" He, however, noticed a frown on her face. "Daijoubu desu ka?"

Sanae turned to look at him and said, "Leo-kun, why do you have to do this?"

"Do what?" he asked in confusion.

"Why do you have to fight these monsters? Why?" her eyes began to well up with tears. She regarded his bandages, "You got yourself hurt doing this. Can't someone else to do it?"

Leo saw the tears and reached over to wipe them away with his thumb. "Gomen nasai, Sanae-chan, but it's…my destiny." He sighed and showed her the card. "I was chosen by the Category Ace and there's nothing else I can do about it."

"So, there is no going back?" she said, almost depressingly. He nodded his head.

"Hai."

Sanae decided that this was the moment she had been waiting for. She had discussed this with Wakaba a few times, which resulted in her blushing like mad, but she'd decided to show Leo how much she liked him.

"Leo-kun?" Sanae spoke up almost questionably.

"Sanae-chan," Leo stared at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Leo-kun…" she cooed, leaning in closer, their faces so close. Leo's eyes went wide as his cheeks grew red.

"Sanae-chan, what are you-?" he could finish his sentence as her lips were pressed to his. She then pulled away, blushing like mad. Leo's goggles had fogged up as well as they turned away from each other, faces red like ripe tomatoes.

Kat had seen the whole thing and grinned before walking away. She said to herself, "They're okay…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Later…

"So, what happened?" asked Reika.

Midori smiled. "Nothing happened…"

"Something happened! Something happened with him, right?!"

"Do you want to know?"

"Of course!"

"Then I'm not telling you…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo entered his room. He saw Yukimura and Kat drunk on the floor. "What the hell happened?!" yelled Kyo.

"I don't know," said Kat. "We were talking and the next thing I knew this happened."

Yukimura had a bucket on his head. He stood up and grabbed a broom. He then exclaimed, "I am Phobos!"

Kyo sweat dropped. 'Great he's on the Phobos thing again…'

"All will bow down to Phobos!" Kyo grabbed the broomstick away from Yukimura and slammed it down on the bucket, breaking the stick. Yukimura fell over dazed. Kyo removed the bucket.

"Shut up, Phobos… and you owe me a new broom," said Kyo, irritated.

The door flew open. A girl with short blond hair and sparkling blue eyes walked in. "WHERE IS HE?!" she yelled.

"Hey, Mizuki-chan," said Kyo with a wave as he helped the drunken Kat back up.

"Mizuki-chan! Come here and give me a hug!" said Yukimura, his arms wide open. She instead punched him in the face.

"Yukimura Sanada! You damned baka!" yelled Mizuki.

Kyo handed her some rope. "Use this. You really should have an intervention for him."

Mizuki smiled. Yukimura gulped. After tying him up she began to drag him away. "Thanks, Kyo-san! I'll see you later. I'll consider the intervention."

Yukimura exclaimed one more word before being dragged away, "Phobos!"

Kyo turned to Kat. "Hey Kat, what did you do to Bacchi-Gu and the others?"

Kat's eyes snapped open. "I knew I forgot something!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyo arrived at the P.E. storeroom. He opened the door to see Bacchi-gu, Ichiban-Boshi and Tenjin lying on top of each other, naked. Kyo shut the door and slowly backed away. "I don't even want to know what happened in there…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kyo arrived in his room he saw Leo there, still blushing. Kat was asleep on Leo's bed. "Looks like she passed out, huh?" said Kyo laughing.

"Hai, what happened?" asked Leo.

"Yukimura got her drunk," replied Kyo. "And why are you blushing?"

"Ano… Sanae and I kissed," said Leo, shyly and placing his fingers to his lips. They still tingled.

Kyo smiled, "Congratulations, you didn't pass out this time." The two boys started laughing.

"I better get my onee-chan back to the girls' dorms," said Leo as he picked up Kat.

"I'll see you when you get back." Kyo suddenly heard a voice in his head.

'You can't keep me locked up forever… I'll break free soon…'

'What was that?' thought Kyo.

'I don't know kid, but even I didn't like it' replied Demon Eyes Kyo.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo knocked and Futaba opened the door to let Leo in who was carrying Kat. He gently laid her on the bed and she mumbled something unintelligible as he pulled the covers over her.

"What happened to her?" Futaba asked.

"Kyo-san's friend, Sanada-san, got her drunk with him," Leo replied.

"Oh," Futaba nodded and then grinned. "Hey, congratulations of getting a kiss from Sanae!"

Leo blushed and questioned, "Huh? How did you know?" Futaba gestured to the sleeping Kat who was drooling on the pillow. "Oh."

"Hey, between you and me, Leo, you're a good match for Sanae. She deserves someone as nice as you. Better then what that pervert Tenjin wants to do to her."

"Oh, well, I have to go. See you later, Futaba-san," Leo said before leaving.

"You too."

Kat then mumbled, "Damn you Phobos. Give me back my broom…"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sanae was in her room with Wakaba. Wakaba had been trying to determine Sanae's future with Leo by pulling the needles out of her cactus. "You won't be together…" Sanae sighed in disappointment. "You will be together…" Sanae laughed happily. "You won't be together…" Sanae sighed again. Only one needle remained. "You will be together!" Sanae was ecstatic; she and Leo would be together. "And Togemura-san is almost never wrong!"

"Thank you, Wakaba-chan. Is Togemura-san gonna be okay?" asked Sanae.

"He'll be fine. The clean air has been really good for him." Togemura squeaked in agreement. "Togemura-san hopes that you and Leo-san will be very happy."

Sanae smiled, "Thank you, Togemura-san." Sanae then took out her pill case and took a pill.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leo was looking up into the sky at the stars. Kyo just stared at him as he shined his blade. "You seem to like to look at the sky a lot, Leo," Kyo said.

"Hai, Kyo-san," Leo admitted. "I think it has something to do with my elements. They both belong to the sky, right?"

Kyo just chuckled and shook his head. Leo was good company, compared to the Baka Trio. He shuddered at the image. He just hoped they didn't end up doing anything stupid/crazy.

Leo stared down at the card in his hand. The rhinoceros image on it appeared powerful. Maybe he could put it to the test before handing it to Pluto…maybe.

Kyo looked at his sword. "All nice and clean," he mused. The sword then began to pulsate. "Strange, Tenro's never done that before…"

"Tenro?" asked Leo.

"Yeah, it's my swords name" replied Kyo. 'Something must be wrong… could Tenro be reacting to that voice from earlier?'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A loud buzzing could be heard as a large shadow flew over the school. It landed on the roof before buzzing away.
