gaara-obsession : This is the chapter that you appear in, look out for yourself!
Chapter 16! (Sweet sixteen?)
Someone was applauding.
Kyo and Ryouko whirled around, still clinging to each other, to see Shigure beaming and clapping, proud in his weird, pervy way.
Ryouko and Kyo let go of each other, blushing drastically. Tohru rushed down from the top of the steps and hugged Ryouko.
"You are so oblivious!" She said into Ryouko's shoulder. "Even I could see how Kyo felt faster than you could!"
"R-really?" Ryouko blushed a deeper shade of red. "I would have never of guessed."
Kyo sweat dropped.
"Yeah, you are really oblivious, almost as much as Tohru." Tohru let go of Ryouko and put her hands on her hips, in mock reproach.
"I shall punish you for that!" She said, in mock anger, and threw herself at Kyo, causing him to transform.
Cat-Kyo sulked, going down so low; he almost became part of the floor. Before he could go further, Tohru picked him up and squeezed him tight.
Kyo's eyes seemed to bulge, "Lemme go!" He insisted, flailing about.
"No." Tohru said, rubbing her cheek against his head.
Kyo pouted, lying limp in Tohru's arms.
Later, at school the next day.
Ryouko was walking to her next class with Usagi, she usually walked with Kyo, but he wasn't in her next class. She was half asleep, having stayed up last night, she and Kyo had been scolded by Tohru on being so oblivious, and once Kyo had slipped away, Tohru had teased Ryouko to the max.
Ryouko was leaning against Usagi's shoulder, mumbling something incomprehensible. She had fresh bandages over her eye, hands, and back.
All of a sudden, they were ambushed by two girls. This woke Ryouko up.
One of the girls had wildly curly dirty blond hair and blue eyes rimmed by black glasses. The girl next to her had short brown hair cut in a wedge: long in front, short in back. Her brown eyes were anxious.
"Umm," The girl with curly hair said, blushing. "Usagi?" She looked up at him as she said this. "I-I'm Catlin, um" She paused, unsure of what to say.
The brow haired girl cut in. "Catlin has had a huge crush on you ever since you transferred here!" Catlin's blush deepened.
"Well," Usagi said in his ever-calm voice. "I don't know you, so I couldn't return those feelings." Catlin looked downcast. "But I wouldn't mind being friends with such a pretty girl."
"Y-you think I'm pretty?"
"Yes."
Catlin and her friend skipped away, Catlin obviously happy about her newfound friend.
"Wow." Ryouko said. "That's a first."
"I have my charms." Usagi said.
Ryouko playfully elbowed his arm. "No you don't. You're just a dark, mysterous, Usagi."
Usagi responded by quickly taking Ryouko's hair out of the bun that she had put it in, and messed it up.
"Hey! You big meanie!" Ryouko jumped on Usagi, and he ended up carrying her on his back all the way to class. As she dismounted near the door, she messed up his hair, causing it to stick out in odd directions.
Later, last class of the day.
Uo sat next to Ryouko, eyeing her hair.
"I thought you had it up, you did at lunch."
Ryouko threw her hair back into a messy bun and said in a vengeful voice. "The evil Usagi took it out and messed up my hair. But I took my revenge."
At that moment, Usagi came into the classroom, his hair just as messed up as when Ryouko messed it up.
"He knows nothing about fixing his hair" Ryouko whispered to Uo. When Usagi looked in their direction, the girls began giggling non-stop.
