Late Night Angel 2011-06-11 . chapter 5
Haha I feel bad for Kaz! He is going to have Harima on his back if anything happens to Luna, which must be scary. Great chapter! Update soon! :)
Yeah, I feel bad for Kaz too, lol. I'd honestly hate to be in the position he's in… and I am updating now, so I hope that counts as soon.

I'd like to thank l2s2 for helping me with the chapter and Late Night Angel for the newest character; Riku Fujii. Let's see what she's like, eh?
Yagami High School, The Hallway
Daichi walked down the school hallway, on his way to class as usual. He was wondering what surprise might happen today. Today, Daichi had come to school about fifteen minutes earlier than usual, and as he walked, his ears were filled with the sound of a piano. He heard it coming from the music room. He opened the door, peeked inside, and found a girl sitting at the piano. She had her long, black hair in a ponytail and had dark green eyes. She wore the usual school uniform, but with tennis shoes. She paid no attention to him, as her fingers magically moved across the piano. Daichi smiled, impressed by how well the girl was playing. She finished the song, and then looked up, surprised that Daichi was standing there.
"That was really good." said Daichi.
"Thank you," said the girl, blushing slightly, "You're Daichi, aren't you?"
"Yes. I recognize you; Riku Fujii, correct?"
"Yes. That's right."
"But the song you're playing is usually done in a duet. Do you mind if I take a seat and play?"
"Sure! That would be great!"
Daichi took a seat at the other piano in the room.
"Ok, count the beats, and we'll start." said Daichi.
Riku did so, and the two began to play together.
Class 2B, Homeroom
Everyone was in class, waiting for it to start. Daichi, Hiroshi, and Kiyoshi were sitting together, waiting for Kaz.
"Here he comes now." said Hiroshi
"Is he with that Luna girl?" asked Kiyoshi.
Daichi looked up and sure enough, the two were walking together, talking and laughing. The two walked up to the group, all eyes staring in question.
"Hey guys, you all know Luna," said Kaz, as he gestured toward Luna.
"It's nice to meet you all. Kaz told me all about you guys." said Luna, while bowing her head.
Daichi gave a friendly smile to Luna.
"It's nice to meet you Luna. I heard you weren't hear last year." said Daichi.
"Yep! I transferred here to meet up with my old friend, Kenji!" said Luna with a smile.
"Kenji? Do you mean Harima?" asked Hiroshi.
"Exactly, Hiro!" said Luna, as she nodded her head.
"Please don't call me, Hiro." said Hiroshi.
The bell then rang, Mr. Sato came in, and the group got in their seat and ready for class.
At Lunchtime
Daichi and the group decided to eat inside today. Luna informed Kaz that she was going to the bathroom really fast and would be back. Kaz sat down and Hiroshi and Kiyoshi stared at him seriously.
"What's up guys?" asked Kaz.
"Look we don't mean to be mean… but we don't want Luna hanging out with our group." said Hiroshi.
"Yeah, she's kind of weird. She'll make our group look bad. She won't really fit in at all." said Kiyoshi.
"What? Daichi, do you feel this way as well?" asked Kaz.
"No."
The three looked at him in surprise.
"There's nothing wrong with her hanging out with us. She seems nice and I don't see a problem with it." said Daichi.
"In that case, we're ok with it too!" said Hiroshi and Kiyoshi in unison.
"Why are you ok with it just because Daichi is ok with it?" asked Kaz.
"That's another story for another chapter." said Kiyoshi.
Luna came back to the group. She was all smiles. She sat down with them and began to eat from her bento box. Once again, Hiroshi was starting to get irritated by Yumi and Natsuki constantly looking over. Daichi was looked over at Hiroshi, noticing that he was beginning to get angry.
"What happened between you two?" asked Daichi.
"I asked her out, she said no and told me she liked someone else. Now, it's obvious that she's making fun of me." said Hiroshi.
Daichi stood up.
"I'll take care of it." said Daichi.
"Please, don't." said Hiroshi.
"Don't worry. I know what to do."
Daichi then headed over to the girls before he could object further.
Two minutes earlier
Yumi and Natsuki were talking about who Yumi currently liked; Daichi.
"Why do you like him? He's so quiet." pointed out Natsuki.
"Yes, but the way he handles things is amazing. Misaki was acting like she was his girlfriend. She super glued herself to him and it didn't even phase him or freak him out. He's also ranked number 1 in grades out of everyone in our grade! How do you score a perfect on every assignment? Not only that, but you saw the way he took Kaz in a fight. He must be really athletic as well." said Yumi.
She then looked over at Daichi, giggled, and turned back. Natsuki noticed something as well.
"Umm… you should…"
"Yeah, I know it's hard to understand. But fact is fact; I have a crush on Daichi."
"Oh. That's interesting."
Yumi's eyes widened in fear. She turned her head around and noticed Daichi was right behind her.
"Daichi! What're you doing here?" asked Yumi.
"I came over to ask you to stop looking over at us. It was starting to bother Hiroshi. He thought that you were laughing and making fun of him. Can you explain what happened?" asked Daichi.
"Well. The loser asked me out on a date."
A flash of anger went through Daichi's eyes. He clenched his fist for a second, but soon calmed down.
"Anyway, how about we go out sometime?" asked Yumi.
Daichi looked at his feet.
"Sorry… but I don't think we should." said Daichi.
"Why not?" asked Yumi.
"Because… you think my friend's a loser. Why should I even be near those that insult my friends. I'm sorry but… you disgust me." said Daichi, with every word under forced calmness.
Yumi and Natsuki sat there with their mouths wide open, speechless. Even though Daichi didn't yell or anything, he was talking louder than he usually did. He caught the attention of everyone in the room. He looked around the room. All eyes were on him. He came across Riku while he looked. His eyes quickly darted away, looking down. He had a feeling of embarrassment when their eyes met. This was the closest anyone ever saw Daichi to getting angry. The only thing about him he ever showed was his brains whenever the teacher would have him answer his question and being calm. Sure, this wasn't true anger, but it was controlled anger; an anger that was suppressed by his calmness, but could still be seen by everyone else. Yumi's eyes filled with tears and anger.
"Fine! I didn't want to go out with you anyway! You're a jerk! You're friends are losers! Idiots! Complete morons! Not only that! But you also hang out with the weirdest, dumbest, most irritating girl in school! SHE'S MORE ANNOYING THAN TENMA TSUKAMOTO!"
Yumi rushed out of the room, with Natsuki running behind her. Daichi looked around the room; complete silence. Kaz looked at Luna. He knew what was coming… he could see the anger in her eyes. He began to pull out the bag of sour heads. He held one out to her.
"Umm… Luna? Here, have this sour head." said Kaz, in desperation.
She gave a look of anger toward Kaz. She slapped the sour head out of his hand. Her blue eye instantly became green.
"I'm going to kill her…" said Luna.
"Luna, please…" began Daichi.
"I'm not Luna anymore… L is out… and she… is… ANGRY!"
L ran out of the room, faster than anyone could imagine.
"Oh crap! What do we do?" asked Kaz.
Out of nowhere, the window flew open and a paper airplane came flying in. Daichi caught it, quickly read it, and ran out of the room.
"Daichi! Wait! You'll need these sour heads!" shouted Kaz, as he ran after Daichi.
Kaz rushed down the hall. He heard L screaming at the top of her lungs. He soon caught up to Daichi. They heard banging coming from the girls bathroom. Natsuki was standing outside of the door.
"What's happening?" asked Daichi.
"Luna went crazy! Yumi locked the door to one of the stalls and now Luna's trying to force her way in! Do something!"
Daichi opened the door slightly, not looking into the girls bathroom. He then began to sing.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high.
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are."
(This song was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, an old nursery rhyme, for those of you who don't know for some reason.)
L instantly calmed down. She looked at the door she caused damage to and walked out of the bathroom. She walked over and hugged Kaz.
"I'm sorry…" said Luna.
Her eyes were blue and green again.
"It's ok. I know you can't control yourself. None of those things she said were true." said Kaz.
"I… just hate Tenma Tsukamoto so much…" said Luna.
"What?"
"I hate her…"
"Don't worry about it. Forget it. Put the past behind you."
Luna looked up and nodded at Kaz.
Kaz turned his attention toward Daichi.
"How did you know how to calm her down?" asked Kaz.
Daichi showed him the paper that he held.
"khawesome9 sent me her character bio." said Daichi.
"Umm… what do you mean?" asked Kaz.
"Never mind. Let's just head back to class, ok?"
The group walked back to class and Natsuki ran into the girls bathroom, to let Yumi know that it was safe to come out now.
The Next Day, Before Class
Daichi was walking down the hallway, regretting what he had done earlier. He soon heard the piano again. He walked back into the music room, and sure enough, Riku was playing. She stopped as soon as he walked in this time.
"Oh… hello Daichi." said Riku.
"I know. I messed up yesterday. She was making fun of my friends, and I couldn't handle that. I let my anger get the best of me. I completely regret what I've done." stated Daichi.
Riku smiled at him.
"It's ok. Sometimes we let anger get the better of us. It happens to everyone." said Riku.
"Well, I still regret it. I keep my emotions under control." said Daichi.
"Well, sometimes it's good to let them come out. Plus, everyone understands; Yumi is just mean like that. Everyone is actually impressed by how well you can control your anger. Not only that, but people now know that your soft spot is your friends; I highly doubt anyone will ever go there again."
Daichi smiled at her.
"Thank you. I feel better now." said Daichi.
Daichi then walked out of the room. He began walking down the hall and felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned around to find Yumi staring him in the eye.
"Hello. I'm sorry for yesterday. I went out of line. I shouldn't have said what I said." said Daichi.
Yumi smiled.
"Apology accepted."
"Does that mean that we can put this behind us?" he asked.
"Of course not. From this day forward, you're my number one enemy. You humiliated me in front of the class and got that girl to go crazy! I'll never put this behind me and will get my revenge. Bye!"
Yumi then skipped on to class. Daichi simply smiled; another day, another mysterious thing happens.
