Late Night Angel 2011-07-26 . chapter 18

I didn't get the chance to review the last chapter! :( I like that Hiroshi and Kiyoshi are pranksters! I also like Gerik. He seems fun and I think a happy-go-lucky kind of guy will be a fun addition to their little group. Hiroshi and Kiyoshi were idiots for pranking Luna, I mean really? How did they expect that to end? Is Gerik thinking Luna is cute only pertain to her? Or is that how he is with all girls? There always seems to be that guy in animes where they like LOVE every girl they meet...until the next girl. Hee either way good job! Update soon! :]

Yeah, I also thought that a happy-go-lucky guy would be good for the group too. That's why I added him. XD As for Hiroshi and Kiyoshi, they don't care who they prank; they just want to prank them. They aren't exactly capable of thinking of the ending result, so they were just hoping for a laugh and weren't expect to actually get hurt. As for Gerik, it only pertains to Luna… for now.

Yagami High School, In the Hallway

"Alright! I'm at school for the first time! Let's do this!" shouted Gerik.

Gerik was walking through the hallways of his new school, trying to find his class. He kept on getting stares from girls, all talking about how he was "cute." He soon found a girl tripping over him. He looked up to see a blond girl.

"I'm sorry." said the girl, as she stood up.

Gerik gave her a thumbs up, blushing slightly.

"That's ok!" he said.

She smiled at him then walked away. Gerik went up to the nearest person.

"Excuse me, who was the person that fell on me?" he asked.

"That was Eri Sawachika. Why?" asked the person.

"No reason, but thanks for letting me know anyway!"

Gerik began heading back to his classroom. That girl was cute! But then something hit him; was he starting to get a crush on two girls? This was different; he couldn't even remember the last time he had a crush on a girl. Usually they swarmed him like crazy and that kind of made him hesitant about dating. But now, he has a crush on two girls. He figured that there was no point in worrying about it, because his feelings would grow for one of them anyway. He wasn't the type of guy to cheat on someone.

(Quick note for those who don't get how guys work. It's common for us to like two girls at once. We don't know why, we just do. If that happens, usually one of three things will happen. 1: We ask one of them out, they say yes, we date, our feeling grow on the one that said yes and we forget about the other one. 2: We ask one out, they say no, then we ask the other out. If they say yes, our feelings grow and we forget about the other one. If they say no, we just move on with life. 3: Some guys are stupid and try to date both at the same time. :/ Yeah, that's how liking two girls usually goes for guys.)

Class 2B Homeroom

The group sat together as usual, when Mr. Sato came in with a new student.

"Hello class. We have a new student; his name is Gerik Nanbu. Go ahead and introduce yourself, Gerik." said Mr. Sato.

Kiyoshi face palmed. It was the kid that beat him in Boogie Woogie Rebellion. Hiroshi laughed, Luna was surprised, Kaz was curious, and Daichi and Riku were acting normally. Gerik had a wide smile on his face.

"Hello everyone! I'm Gerik and it's nice to be here!" said Gerik.

"Where are you from?" asked someone.

"I'm from Kamakura; a city outside of Tokyo." said Gerik.

"What are your hobbies?" asked another person.

"I like to play Boogie Woogie Rebellion, dancing, baseball, writing, and anything else fun."

"Any other questions?" asked Mr. Sato.

The class sat silently. Mostly because many of the girls were commenting on how cute he was.

Gerik looked around the room and waved when he saw Kiyoshi, Hiroshi, and Luna. All three of them waved back. Gerik walked straight up to the group and looked at Luna.

"Hello Luna, you remember me, right?" asked Gerik, with a wide smile.

"Yes." said Luna.

"How about you accompany me on a date?" he asked, in front of the entire class, giving her a thumbs up.

Everyone was stunned, (except for Daichi.) especially the girls that thought that Gerik was cute. Luna stared into his eyes. He kept his thumbs up and smile. Luna smiled. How could she say no to a face like that?

"Alright, sounds good." she said.

"Alright! I'll see you after school!" said Gerik.

He headed over to the empty seat in the front of the room and sat in it. He hummed to himself while sitting in his chair. Many of the girls were now giving Luna dirty looks. Luna ignored this. Kaz leaned towards Luna.

"Are you actually going to go on a date with him?" asked Kaz.

"Sure. I don't see why not."

Kaz wondered to himself how ANYONE could just walk up to a girl they just met, ask her out, and get them to say yes. Not only that, but he seemed to grab the attention of everyone in class except for Riku. Kaz knew that he had to protect Luna, so it would be his job to watch what was going on closely.

At Lunch

Gerik had the intent on hanging out with Luna's friends, but as soon as lunch started, a group of girls grabbed his arm.

"Hey Gerik! Welcome to Yagami! How would you like to eat with us?" asked Yumi.

"Umm… sure." said Gerik, giving a smile to her.

He ended up sitting next to Yumi and Natsuki.

"You really shouldn't hang out with that group." said Yumi.

Gerik looked at her curiously.

"Why not?" he asked.

"Because, they're kind of jerks. Not to mention, that girl that you asked out has a split personality; she can change on you in a second." said Yumi.

Natsuki just nodded along with everything Yumi said. Gerik smiled and stood up.

"I think I'll take my chances! Thanks for eating lunch with me!"

Yumi sighed. She was hoping to get Gerik to be her boyfriend. Gerik then got up and started to head over to the group. More girls came up and dragged him away. Kaz looked over at him.

"What do girls even see in him?" asked Kaz.

"Oh wow Kaz! Are you jealous?" asked Kiyoshi.

"No, I just don't get how he gets girls!" said Kaz.

"It's kind of obvious." said Hiroshi. "He's happy-go-lucky; so he's easy to approach. Not only that, but he seems really nice, so of course girls are going to want to be friends with him."

"Ah, I see. So they want to be friends with him. That's a relief." said Kaz.

"Actually, I'm sure some of them want to date him too. He's probably fun and girls like fun." said Daichi.

"Wow, thanks Daichi!" shouted Kaz sarcastically.

"You're just mad that he got a date with Luna." said Hiroshi.

"Whatever." said Kaz, as he went back to eating.

"What made you say yes to him anyway?" asked Hiroshi to Luna.

"I don't know… he was just so bold about it. How could I say no?" asked Luna.

"Lunch is over; put your chairs back and let's begin class!" announced Mr. Sato.

After School

Luna was waiting at the front of the school for Gerik to show up. Kaz came up to talk to her.

"You're really going through with this?" asked Kaz.

"Why not?" said Luna. "I think that it could be a lot of fun; it's been a while since I've been on a date."

"Ok, I gotcha." said Kaz, walking away.

He was still planning to watch from a distance; he needed to check this Gerik guy out, to make sure that he wasn't a pervert or something. Harima would definitely come after him if he did something to Luna. It was his job to watch out for Luna.

"Hey Luna! Are you ready for our date?" asked Gerik as he walked up to her.

Luna nodded and the two headed out.

"Did you want to go anywhere in particular?" asked Gerik, with a smile.

"I'm not sure. How about we go get something to eat?" asked Luna.

Gerik nodded. They headed over to a simple restaurant where they could get some noodles. Kaz snuck around, wearing a trench coat. He waited for them to go inside and watched them from outside of the restaurant. He sat on the bench with a newspaper and would look back every once in a while to check on them.

"What're you doing?"

Kaz looked forward to find Hiroshi and Kiyoshi staring at him suspiciously.

"Nothing. Why?" responded Kaz.

The twins looked into the restaurant and saw Luna with Gerik. They both gained wide smiles.

"You know what to do." said Kiyoshi, to Hiroshi.

Hiroshi stuck his head inside.

"LUNA! KAZ IS SPYING ON YOU!"

The twins then went running and were laughing like crazy.

"You suck!" shouted Kaz.

He looked back and Luna was giving him an angry stare. Kaz took this moment to run away. To his surprise, Luna didn't chase after him. He just headed down the street as fast as possible.

A Few Minutes Earlier

Gerik and Luna headed into the restaurant. After ordering their food, they began to talk.

"So what's it like living in a bigger city like this?" asked Gerik.

"That's right! You're from a smaller town, right?" asked Luna.

"Yep. I'm from a small town." said Gerik, smiling.

"Well, in bigger cities, we have tourists a lot, so there's plenty of stores to get things from. You really never need to leave the city if you want to pick anything up." said Luna.

"That's convenient." noted Gerik. "My family and I won't have to worry about going out of town to get certain things we need."

Luna smiled. The food was brought to them and they started eating. They continued to talk for a while when:

"LUNA! KAZ IS SPYING ON YOU!"

Luna looked to see Hiroshi running off with Kiyoshi laughing. She looked over to Kaz and gave him an evil look. Gerik smiled.

"Someone has an admirer!" said Gerik.

Luna turned back to him.

"Excuse me? Did you say something?" asked Luna.

Gerik just smiled at her.

"Never mind. I think I just noticed something; you're in love, aren't you?" said Gerik.

Luna was surprised by this. She looked away and blushed. Gerik gave her a thumbs up.

"Don't worry! You don't have to tell me anything, but if you ever need me, then I can help you!"

"Umm… thanks, I guess."

"You can go if you want; I'll pay for everything."

"No, it's ok. I'll finish my meal."

The two finished their meals in silence. Luna began to reach for some money and Gerik held up his hands.

"Don't worry; I'll pay for it." he said.

"No, I really should-"

"C'mon. I invited you, so the least I can do is pay for it. Now, I think you need to go talk to Kaz." said Gerik.

Luna smiled.

"Thanks for the food." said Luna.

Gerik smiled, she smiled back, and left. Gerik sat in his chair and began thinking. He could tell that she did like someone, and Kaz had to be spying on him for some reason. Gerik came to the conclusion that Kaz must also like Luna. Now he wondered if Luna liked Kaz or not.

"Kaz," said Gerik, talking to himself. "from this point on, it'll be a fight to win Luna's heart! It'll be a long and hard battle, but I promise to play fairly and if you win, I'll accept defeat!"

"Mommy, who's that weird kid talking to?" asked a little girl.

Gerik gave her a thumbs up and smile.

"I'm talking to myself!" he said.

The girl laughed. Gerik smile grew, he paid the bill, gave the waiter a tip, then headed out.

Kaz's House

Kaz was gasping from how tired he was. He felt really stupid for letting himself get caught spying on Luna.

"What were you doing, Kaz?"

Kaz looked up to find Luna looking at him.

"I know it seems bad, but I just wanted to-"

"How can you spy on someone when they're on a date? That's a little bit creepy if you ask me." said Luna.

"I'm sorry. But I needed to or else…"

"Or else what?"

"Or else… Harima will…"

Luna seemed offended by this.

"Oh, so the only reason you care about me is because of Kenji?"

"No! That's not-"

"Whatever. I'm going home."

She then began walking back to her house. Kaz looked over at his motorcycle.

"Would you like a lift?"

"I'd rather walk."

Kaz face palmed.

"Crap. I think she's mad at me. But what did I do?"

Kaz then walked back into the house. He headed to the kitchen and Harry was sitting at the table.

"Did you confess your love yet?" asked Harry.

"What're you talking about?" asked Kaz.

Harry laughed.

"Nothing. Forget I said anything."

Kaz shrugged, grabbed some pudding and headed up to his room. Harry continued to sit around. Harry wondered to himself when Kaz would realize his feelings for that girl.

"Maybe never." he muttered to himself.
