Spiffster: Welcome to chapter eight! The weekend! Hopefully I will find enough to talk about. I probably will, between the movies, house cleaning, and maybe I'll pull out some memories for you all!

Ki-chan: Ooh, can we do something happy? You know I do have happy memories!

Dark-san: You do?

Ki-chan: Shut up!

Chapter 8: Weekend Highlights and Lowlights

"Run little Mist-chan, run! You cannot escape me! Already, your will to fight is dying, you will be mine tonight. Mwahahahah!"

"Aaaaaaaaaah!!!" I jumped out of bed, screaming in a fighters pose. I stopped looking around. I was no longer in the forest near the Hikari mansion. I glanced at the clock. It read three thirty. Crap. I climbed back into to bed, praying that no one heard me. I quickly fell back into restless dreaming.

"I hate you!" I opened my eyes slowly, realizing that the last part was not me. Kisagi was standing by her bed across the hallway, staring at her phone and crying. She also held a picture in her hand. I slipped back to my bed, glancing at the clock as I did so. It was still only eight, and I was trying to pretend to be sick, so I got back in bed with my script. I began studying quietly.

"Kisa…" I glanced up, before tossing the script aside and making room on the bed.

"Come here Sagi-chan." She sat on my bed and I gave her a massage. "What happened?" I asked softly.

She sniffled a little before speaking. "Ritsuki called me a bitch. She said she thinks that my being more popular this year has gotten to my head. She said I'm really self-centered and should go to hell." She started to cry again.

I sighed, knowing what she really needed to hear. "You're not self-centered. If anyone is, it's her. I think her problem is that you're more popular than her, and that you have a date with Satoshi." Kisagi nodded weakly. She and Ritsuki had been friends since they were five or so. "Come on." I told her, pulling her up. We're going to the kitchen where I will prepare an ice cream sundae for you."

Once in the kitchen I pulled ice cream out of the freezer and fruit from the frig. "So, is this a small scuffle, or should I be adding her to my hate and ignore list?"

Kisagi laughed shortly. "Add her. I don't think we'll be making up anytime soon."

"Kay, but in the meantime, your date. I have the perfect outfit for you, it's dressy, but not formal. I have some black pants and that red tank top that brings out the color in your cheeks." I handed her the sundae and the chocolate sauce. "I also have some adorable earrings and matching necklace that are black. What say you?"

"What are you going to wear?" She seemed to have brightened with the topic of the movies, and clothes.

I smiled. "Are you kidding me? I can't go, I have way too much cleaning to do. Can you apologize for me?"

"You're not…going?" She swallowed her ice cream and grabbed her head. "Ah! Brain freeze!" I laughed. "Seriously though, you're not coming? I need you!" I was touched, a little.

"Sorry, I can't." I smiled. "Have fun for me, kay? I'm going to head over to my apartment now, so you probably won't see me. I'll go grab the clothes quick and leave it in your room, kay?"

Kisagi nodded and settled down at the table with her ice cream. "Thanks Kisa, I can always count on you." I smiled at her again before heading up to my room.

"Who knew?" I muttered, digging through my closet. "Kisagi is nice, when she wants to be." I found what I was looking for and grabbed jeans and a long sleeved shirt for myself. Pulling them on, I dug my script out from under the clothes I had pulled out of the closet. I almost left, until I realized that I was just going to be cleaning there, why not start here? So I put away the mess I made, made the bed, and opened the curtains. The room looked okay, so I headed to Kisagi's room, dropping the clothes on the bed neatly, and setting the jewelry on the dresser. While there, I noticed a torn picture of Kisagi and Ritsuki and Ritsuko, Ritsuki's brother. I sighed and shook my head. Maybe I could help her later.

I reached my own apartment and started to de-junk, working from where I had left off last time I was here. At lunch time I ate and was about to get back, but the doorbell stopped me.

"Hello?" I opened the door, revealing a familiar looking man. "Kosuke? Is that, you?"

"I'm sorry, I don't believe I know you. I was just looking for, um, a friend. Who lives in this area, I think. The Niwa's?" He looked… like he was lying and freaked out that I recognized him, or that I knew his name, or whatever.

"Come in Kosuke, I'll get tea. I think we should do this sitting down…" What can I say, I'm evil. It's from being alive so long. You get kinda weird.

He sweat-dropped. Poor guy. While the water was boiling, I asked him about himself, how he was, where he had been. He didn't tell me anything because he didn't know who I was.

"Honestly Kosuke, you don't remember me? I set you up with Emiko and this is the thanks I get?" I sighed, exasperated.

"Souma-san?" Yippee, jackpot!

"Yep, but now it's Hioshi Kisa, get it right. As for Emiko, she lives nearby, I'll bring you over later."

"Um, so what Emiko told me was true? You don't really… age?" I laughed.

"I feel old, trust me."

After tea, and a few explanations, we headed over to Daisuke's house. I knocked on the door loudly, hoping Daisuke was somewhat healed. Emiko opened the door.

"Yes? Oh, your Daisuke's friend right?" She asked, not seeing Kosuke. "I don't think he can have visitors."

"Perhaps he would see me?" Kosuke announced, stepping in front of me. I distinctly heard someone within the house losing their food, which they were probably in the process of eating. Poor Grandpa Daiki.

"Kosuke!" Emiko cried, flinging herself into his arms. "You came back." She whispered.

"Um, I'm Souma Kisa, I know I look different than before. Also, continue to call me Hioshi."

"Ki-chan? As in the coolest person I know?"

"Hey now, that hurts…"

"Sorry Kosuke, I knew her first."

"Ouch."

"Come in! Come in, come in!" She said, pulling us both in. "Look Grandpa, it's Kosuke and Kisa, don't you remember them?"

Grandpa harrumphed and sighed. "Yes, I remember them." He sounded resigned. "Welcome back."

"Kisa, for now you can go ahead and visit Daisuke. But first, I wonder, has he been useful to you?"

I turned back at the top of the stairs and called down, "Very! Making out with him in the bathroom was very helpful in making me popular at Azumano High!" I rushed up the rest of the way, but I still heard her.

"What!!!???" She practically shrieked. "Kisa you didn't!!!"

"Did you seriously just say that?"

I glanced over at Daisuke. "Maybe. How are you feeling?" I walked over to the couch and kneeled down next to it, looking at him intently.

"Okay, considering. I'm glad you came back, since my mom scared you guys away last time. I was just wondering…" He looked at me innocently.

"Ya?"

"How'd I get here?" Crap, son of a… "According to everyone here, and Dark, I shouldn't have made it back." For once I had nothing, no excuse, no lies to tell him. Nothing at all.

"Um…"

---Riku's Perspective---

"Aaahhhh!!!" Risa screamed, running all over the house.

"Um, Risa, are you okay?" I asked. "It's only two, we have an hour to get ready."

"I can't find anything suitable!" She rushed around my room, grabbing clothes and searching for something. "What are you going to wear?" She paused before me, waiting anxiously.

"Um, nothing."

"WHAT?" Risa jaw dropped.

"No, not like that." I laughed. "I just meant, I'm not going. Daisuke can't go, he's still sick, so I kinda don't want to go. Plus I was actually smart and I already saw the movie, with Takeshi and Kisa."

"Seriously!!!" Risa stopped fidgeting. "You actually found them in another movie? I was wondering where you went. Although, I didn't wonder for long! I was so scared the whole movie that I buried my head in my pillows and Naru told me funny stories, to distract me. It was kind of fun. So what happened?"

"Start looking, and I'll tell you." I commanded her.

"Right, I'm on it." Risa went back to a pile of my clothes, which she ripped out of the closet, and started going through them and trying things on. "So, do tell."

"Well, not that much happened, but it was a funny movie-"

"I don't want to hear about the movie!" Risa paused to glare at me. "Come on Riku, you must have seen something!!!"

"Ya, no, not really." I sighed. "They were really boring. Although, Kisa did mutter something about me and you being right, so I'm guessing she canned him."

"Good!" Risa looked relieved. "Oh, and here, I found something. What do you thing?" Risa twirled in a red flowery spring dress.

"Nope, wrong season. I'd say go with that white skirt over there and… this! Light brown blouse here. It goes perfectly with your eyes!"

"That's perfect! Thank you so much!" Risa put it on hurriedly.

"So, who are you trying to impress?"

"Oh, you know." Risa said secretively. "I always have to look my best!"

"You're lying to me!" I cried, incredulous. "What are you hiding?"

"Nothing." She said quietly, not really meeting my eyes. "Oh, I think I should go now, thanks for the help." She rushed away.

I smiled. "Hopefully this means she's given up on Dark. Thank God, what a perverted monster. Maybe I should call Daisuke." I pulled out my phone and dialed his number.

---At the movies---

Risa walked in and spotted the group. "Hey guys! Riku isn't going to make it, and neither is Daisuke, sorry. Daisuke is sick, and Riku already saw Pirates Three."

"What?" Satoshi muttered.

"Hey guys, how's it going? Wow, is this all we have? Kisa can't make it, turns out she's busy." Kisagi explained, feeling refreshed from before and wearing Kisa's nice clothes.

"What?" Satoshi sighed.

Well, if she's not here, let's just go. We only came for her.

/You're perverted, I came because I'm friends with Daisuke/

You can't lie to me.

"It's okay, Riku said it was a great movie, so let's just go." Risa pointed out.

"Now it's like a double date! Way cool!" Kisagi thought to herself.

"Wow!" Risa grinned. "That was a great movie!"

"Yes, I liked it too, Harada-san." Satoshi commented quietly. Risa beamed.

"I loved how he was going mad, that was great." Naruto offered.

"Yes! And how he wouldn't hug Elizabeth at the end! That was funny!" Kisagi laughed.

"Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp are so HOT!" Kisagi and Risa shouted in unison, laughing some more. "Especially at the end, when Orlando turned around on his ship, with his wild hair!" Kisagi chortled.

"I loved that! I could totally sit on a beach for ten years just to spend a day with him!" Risa smiled.

"Want me to grow out my hair, ladies? You could have just asked." Naruto grinned.

"I'm not going to offer that. But it was a good movie." Satoshi said.

"There's my ride! Bye everyone! See you all later!" Risa rushed away.

"Bye!" Kisagi headed for home, which was in walking distance.

"See you later Hiwatori-kun." Naruto headed for his own ride.

"Bye." Satoshi walked to his apartment, which wasn't exactly in walking distance.

---Kisa's Perspective—

Daisuke's phone rang. Saved by the bell! Daisuke pulled out his phone, but he kept his eyes on me. "Hello? Hey Riku. Yea, I'm fine. My mom was just overreacting, so I should be in school on Monday. She what? No way." He sounded worried, shocked, and disbelieving all at once. But he was still watching me. "Well, we'll see how it goes. I'll talk to you later, okay? Okay, bye." No I love you? Poor girl.

"Well? I'm waiting Kisa. Because you have some major explaining to do."

Crap, no crap didn't describe it. This was definitely full blown shit. "Maybe…"

"Nope, I want the whole truth. The truth about everything. About how you knew that Hiwatori was actually Hikari. About how you actually got Riku to stop bothering you about the bathroom scene. About how you knew about the curse that Satoshi and I share. About it all."

What? He didn't buy any of that? Loads of shit! I'm screwed! Totally and completely screwed!

Spiffster: Oooh, I can see the disappointment and excitement in the eyes of all those who read this because they are enjoying my stories. (Those who are bored probably don't really care, but maybe they'll come back…)

Ki-chan: I don't like you anymore.

Dai-chan: I'm confused.

Dark-san: Mwahahahaha!!!

Sato-chan: I'm feeling sad.

Naru-chan: Elizabeth was sexy in that movie. Especially at the end. And in the middle. And in the beginning too…

Krad: I rather like how this is all playing out…

Spiffster: Want to know what happens next? Wait for chapter nine, it's coming. Soon. As in, tomorrow. Or maybe the next day. Or, well, soon. Also, I apologize for using strong language, but I believe that it was necessary to show how Kisa was feeling in that moment. Until next time!

P.S: I have chapter nine done, but I'm not going to add it until I feel I have gotten sufficient feedback. Please give me feedback so I will add chapter nine!
