"So do you think you'll pass the test Karin-chan?" Himeka asked as the threesome walked to school. Kazune was beginning to used to answering to Karin's name. Although he still had trouble remembering to use the honorifics. To him, it just seemed so...girly using 'chan' and 'kun'.
"Uh...I guess so," he said thoughtfully. I wonder if I should fail on purpose since I'm in Karin's body. Acing it would be way too suspicious. "I forgot to study though," he added for effect.
"Oh man...." both 'girls' heard a moan from behind. The turned to see the blonde was dragging behind. Her head hung low with Kazune's pale hair falling over her eyes. A gloomy aura surrounded her. Himeka gasped and ran back.
"Kazune-chan! What's wrong?" she asked gripping Karin's arm.
"The test..." she moaned again. Kazune's eye twitched and he grabbed Karin roughly by the arm, pulling her away from Himeka and toward him.
"Don't tell me...you forgot to study." he whispered low enough for only her to hear. He pulled Karin along by the elbow. "And hurry it up already! You'll make me late." Karin mumbled something incoherently and Kazune sighed. "Listen to me! You had better not fail this test. You're in my body so I think it's safe to assume my brain is still in there," he said tapping Karin's forehead. "You must have at least a fraction of my knowledge so use it!"
Karin glared through his ice-blue eyes and Kazune almost flinched. Almost. "I'll do my best, okay? Give me some credit for that!"
"No, I won't! I don't need you to do your best. I need you to do MY best. Got it?"
They walked along arguing. Himeka followed them, smiling since this seemed to be their usual routine. She did notice that, unlike their usual arguements, they were whispering. Whatever they seemed to be disagreeing on she decided it must be a private matter.
The school came into view along with Kazune's usual whord of fangirls. They rean towards the three and Himeka decided to slip away and avoid their wrath.
Kazune and Karin were still deep in their conversation. Kazune was clutching onto Karin's arm simply to make her keep up. But to someone who wasn't clued in--or aware of who was who--it looked as though Karin was holding onto Kazune's arm, standing very close to him.
A little too close as far as the Kazune-Z was concerned.
"Kujyou-kuuun!" They shouted running up to the couple.
Karin's eyes widened and she shoved Kazune off. "Get away before they kill you! Me...us!"
"What? Those girls?" he turned to stare at them as they came up. Crowding around Karin who was looking nervously at Kazune.
Who was still atttached to her arm, by the way.
"Ohayo, Kujyou-kun!" they cooed in unison.
Karin blinked, "Uh...yeah, hi." she said nervously. The fangirls giggled.
"Yeah yeah, good morning. Now if you'll excuse us we've got some things to discuss," Kazune interrupted. He dragged a gawking Karin into the school leaving the Kazune-Z glaring after him.
"Ugh! That Hanazono girl's got some nerve!" One of the girls, the leader, hissed angrily. Her clones nodded in agreement. "We'll have to have a little talk with her after class. That girl needs to learn her place!"
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
"Hanazono-saaaan!" Michiru's voice echoed off the walls, he was so loud. He flung himself at Karin's body(Kazune). "Ohayo Hanazono-san! How are you, love?"
"Gah!! G-Get off of me you freak!" Kazune stuttered, trying to pry Micchi's arms away. "Don't just stand there! Help me!" he yelled at Karin who was standing idly by, not doing much of anything. She snickered and walked away to her desk whistling.
"Kazune-kun seems to be in a good mood," Michiru stated.
"Yeah...I bet!" Kazune gasped breaking away from his friend's hold. He made a mental note that if for any reason they ever need to restrain someone that would be Michiru's department. "Geez..."
"Take your seats students!" Their teacher announced cheerfully. "The test is about to begin." A collective groan when around the classroom as more students filed in. "Now I want everyone to do their very best." she said enthusiastically passing out papers. "Keep in mind, this test is worth 70 percent of your grade!" More protests.
Kazune sighed and slumped down in his seat. He wasn't used to sitting on this side of the class. Something else he'd have to get used to. Okay. I think I'll shoot for a 'C' or something. She should be able to manage that. He thought looking over the questions and marking the easy, multiple choice ones. He was less accurate on the written questions. Making sure not to give too much detail in his answers. In short, if he had been trying, this would've been an easy 'A'.
Looking over, he saw Karin struggling over a question, biting hard on her pencil, he sighed. There's no way she can handle this. I'm looking at a 'C minus' at most! I'll have to remember to re-take this next week. He decided silently.
With twenty minutes to spare, he layed he his head down on the desk and settled in for a nap.

"So did you completely fail or what? The truth! Don't sugarcoat it," Kazune asked, crowding his copier as soon as the class ended.
"I don't think I completely failed it," she mumbled, looking extremely annoyed with the rush of questions. She wasn't that dumb! Below average, but still! "Have a little faith in me! I did the best I could and that's all you're getting so deal with it!" she huffed. He glared and muttered something that sounded like, Great. A 'D' probably. "What was that, jerk?!" she asked, an threatening edge clear in her voice.
"Oh, don't even--!"
"Hanazono-san," a clear, somewhat sharp, voice called out. Interupting Kazune's counter threat. The two turned to see one of Kazune's groupies motioning for them, and by "them" I mean Karin, to come over. She took a step forward.
"Earth to Karin!" Kazune hissed quietly. "Reversed? She's talking to me." He turned on his heel to go, but Karin grabbed his arm tightly. "Ouch! Let go!"
"Sorry," she muttered, slightly surprised with her newfound strength. May come in handy later, she thought. Her grip loosened, but she didn't let go. "But Kazune-kun," she whispered urgently. "Don't go over there! Stay away from those girls!"
"What in Hell's name are you talking about?!"
She groaned and looked around quickly before dragging him out into the hallway. He tried to pull away, but to no avail. "Shh! They might hear!"
"Have you lost it?!"
"Look, Kazune-kun, I'm not exactly 'good' with your, er, groupies."
"What?" he asked again, growing irritated with her paranoia. "What is that supposed to mean? You're not making any sense, Karin!"
She sighed, "They don't like me, okay?"
"Then why--"
"She probably just wants to warn me to stay away from you," she answered promptly. "Just stay away from them okay?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kazune snatched his hand away. He absent-mindedly dusted off his skirt while heading back into the classroom. Karin watched him in something of a distressed state.
Not looking back, he called over his shoulder, "You know, I never would've thought you'd be so paranoid. They're just girls, Karin! And for a goddess to be so afraid of something so harmless...don't be foolish." He went back inside silently.
Karin didn't follow.

"You wanted something?" Kazune asked politely, approaching the girl who had called a moment ago. She wasn't alone this time and her friends stood behind loyally. The atmosphere seemed to shift dramatically as he noticed they were glowering at him. They didn't seem as much a group of friends as they did...a gang.
Ugh. Stupid Karin, making me imagine things.
"Yes, we did." The leader girl nodded slightly. "Please, have a seat." The other girls moved aside and she motioned to the empty desk in the mist of them. Despite her polite wording, it sounded more like a demand.
Kazune didn't hesitate and took a seat. He waited for them to do the same, but they remained standing. Staring down at him. He looked around and noticed they were the only ones in class. He knew the bell had already rung, but students usually lingered behind a little longer before lunch. Some even ate in class.
But they were alone.
He finally seemed to notice the tension that hung stiffly in the air as the girl slammed her palms down on the desk, making he jump ever so slightly. She lowered her face to his level and glared with more intensity than he thought a girl capable off.
"I think we need to have a little chat."
Cuxie: Done! Review! Bye-bye!
