TA DA! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN UNTIL LATER! SO LETS JUST SEE HOW THIS GOES! NOW ITS THE TOUR! AND WHY WOULD I BE HERE, WRITING THIS, IF OWNED PPGZ AND RRBZ?! I'D BE TRYING TO CREATE FLYING SHOES (like the ppgz) WITH MY GAZILLIONS OF DOLLARS!
-Momoko's P.O.V.-
"Music room. Principal's office. Nurse. You got all that?" I asked, turning to look at Akira. I was forced to show him around the school, even though I did notlike it. But I would get a lower grade if I refused.
"Yeah. Anywhere else left?"
"One place." I said, guiding him to an enormous stone building.
"What's this?" He asked.
"Welcome to the library." I said, pushing open the huge oak doors. "Its the largest one in all of Japan."
The shelves reached all the way to the ceiling, about 15 feet tall. Ladders were on the shelves to help kids reach books. The library took up about an acre or two of space. It was separated from the rest of the school, connected only by a gravel pathway. The school walls did surround the huge building though. Tall bookcases, up to ten feet tall, stood in the middle on the room, holding countless centuries' worth of history, knowledge, and literature. This library held almost every book ever printed, save a few exceptions. Small areas of couches and tables were scattered throughout the building. You never know when you'd stumble upon one. We started to walk around the 'huge wooden cases of all-knowing power' as Bunny says.
"Why would they make the largest library part of a high school?" Akira asked, looking around mystified. I was like that when I first came here too.
"It wasn't built for the school."
"It wasn't?"
"No. Of course not." I looked at him as if he were insane. "It was built in the spring of 1845. It contains books from before my great grandparents were born. The school was built around it in 1967. Its a great place for research and quiet. And something else too..."
"What?"
"Hide and seek." I said as I stepped further into the bookshelves.
Akira smirked. "You're on."
"30 seconds. I bet you can't find me in an hour."
"What do I get if I win?"
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Hmm... you have to kiss me."
"Say what?"
"You heard me." His smirk grew.
"Fine. If I win, you have to kiss Himeko, then call her a mother #%*&ing ^*% &*^."
"Oooo, little smarty pants has got a mouth." He smirked more, if that's possible.
"Ready, set... go!" I raced into the library as Akira counted to 30. 'There's no way he's gonna find me in here.'
-Kohaku's P.O.V.-
"This is the music room." Her eyes started to sparkle as she stepped inside, me trailing behind. Mio was showing me around the school just as the teacher asked her to.
"So you like music, hm?" I asked, wandering the room.
"You kidding? I livefor music."
"So you're one of those crazy choir nerds, huh?" I said, studying a guitar. I turned around and saw her looking pissed off. "What?"
"Everyone in choir is a huge jerk. I hatechoir in general. All those ignorant people who think they can sing but they CAN'T! THEY CAN'T!" She kicked a hole in the wall. I knew she had strong legs *cough cough*got kicked*cough cough*, but I never thought she could do that much damage.
"Woah, chill, Cherry." I held up my hands
She sighed in aggravation. "Dammit, second time today. Gotta pay for another hole."
"Second?"
"I kinda sorta kicked a hole in a classroom's wall this morning after Todd flirted with me... Heh heh?" She smiled guiltily.
"Pfft" I started laughing really hard. She giggled along with me. After we laughed for a while, I said, "So, you gonna sing?"
"Ummm... okay." She pulled out her iPod, set it up on a speaker, and sang 'So What' by P!nk.
"You're good." I clapped.
"So, do you play anything?" Mio asked.
"Guitar. You?"
"Bass guitar, guitar, piano, and drums sometimes."
"Woah... You are a music nerd."
"Never said I wasn't." She smiled.
"So, wanna play something?"
"Alone again? No. With you? Maybe I could sing a few songs." She said, slipping her iPod back into her pocket.
"All right, I'll play." I laughed as and picked up the guitar. Mio smiled and sat at the piano.
"Let's play, Cherry." She blushed a little and smiled. The right side of my mouth lifted and I couldn't help but grin back.
'Yep, definitely gonna like this year.'
-Kaoru's P.O.V.-
Jirou and I had sped through the tour and now we were playing soccer on the school field. No way I would show him my secret practice field. Only Blaze knows where that is, other than me. Only because she's good at finding people. Like, scary good. She'll find someone in a secret passage she didn't know was there before.
Anyway, we were 5 to 4 so far. I'm winning. Its been a half an hour. The game is 45 minutes long. We agreed beforehand.
"You ready to give up?" Jirou asked, trying to steal the ball from me.
"Says the person who's losing." I dodged his attempts and shot the ball into the goal. "6-4 me!" I threw my hands in the air and flopped onto my back on the grass. "Time out."
"Aww, c'mon. Keep going."
"Nope. 5 minutes." I laid there stretched out on the damp blades of grass, gazing at the white puffy clouds floating in the blue sky. After two or three minutes, I sat up. "'Kay, I'm good, lets rock."
We continued playing. 10 minutes later, it was tied at 7-7. 5 minutes left. I stole the ball, but he got it back. Then I stole it again. It continued like this for at least 4 minutes. Five seconds on the clock. I stole the ball and shot for the goal. The ball flew through the air, and its...
-Kyoko's P.O.V.-
"Gym. Clubs. Chem labs. Lunchroom. Principal. Nurse." I pointed at things as I walked past, not bothering to check whether Kenshin caught what I was saying or not. I heard a tune that sounded close to 'Love like Woe', one of Blaze's favorites, coming from the music room. Piano, guitar, Blaze's singing, and.. Kohaku? I think so. Whatever.
I guided Kenshin to the library, where we found Akira, looking rather angry.
"What's wrong?" Kenshin asked. I stayed silent and decided to watch this unfold before getting involved, like usual. Why waste my breath talking?
"I'm playing hide and seek with Momoko 'cause we finished quick, and I made a bet with her that I could find her before an hour was over, and I have 15 minutes and I don't want to lose." He looked around.
I took out my phone and texted Momoko.
'Hey Momo.'
'What?'
'Can I use Mio to let Akira cheat?'
'ummmm'
'okay' she replied later 'but hurry if you want him to be in the time limit.'
'K bi'
I put my phone away and walked out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Akira called.
I looked at him, made a stay here gesture, and walked away, hurrying to the music room. No words necessary.
-Kohaku's P.O.V.-
Mio and I just finished singing "Can't Stop Me" by Afrojack and Shermanology when Kyoko walked in. Mio looked up.
"Oh, hi Kyoko! Is it time to go?"
Kyoko said nothing, just jerked her head in the direction of the library. Mio looked at Kyoko for a second, then nodded.
"I see. I'm coming." She smiled at me when she stood. "Gotta go help out Momo. See you tomorrow."
"I'll come with." I stood too. Kyoko looked at me, then at Mio. Then she shrugged and left. 'How can that girl be decoded? I don't get it.'
"Is she always like that?" I asked Mio while following Kyoko down the hall.
"Kyoko? You mean the whole no talking thing?" Mio asked. I nodded. "Yea, pretty much."
"Can she-"
"Yes, I can talk. I prefer not to waste my breath." Kyoko said, suddenly sticking her head next to mine.
"Wha-" I looked at Mio, who smiled at me and her sister, not shocked at all.
"She always sneaks up on people. Sorry." Mio said while her sister walked ahead of us.
We arrived at the library. Kyoko let Mio in, then me. I saw Akira and Kenshin look at Kyoko like she was some kind of strange alien who showed up on their doorstep asking for money.
"Why is she-" Akira started, but he was cut off by Kyoko.
"Shut it and let her find Momo. Momoko already agreed that its not cheating since there are no rules." That was the most I've heard her say at once. I looked at my bros and they were obviously thinking the same thing. Kyoko rolled her eyes and turned away, slipping into the shelves after Mio.
-Kyoko's P.O.V.-
I followed Mio, and I knew the boys were following me. Mio can find anyone quickly, especially one of her sisters. Which can be annoying to me, being the silent and sneaky type. Mio followed an unseen path, weaving in and out of the shelves, sometimes stopping and then going in a different direction. We were reaching the last few minutes before the limit.
"Hate to interupt, but we're running out of time." Akira said. I silenced him with a look, and Mio continued walking. Did I mention I love that you can shut people up by looking at them? Because I love that. Its great.
"Right here, make a left at Twilight, and..." Mio said to herself, peeking around a corner. "Found her."
Akira walked forward, and when he saw Momoko, his eyes widened and he grinned. I turned towards the books to hide my silent laughter.
"Found you." Akira said, turning the corner.
-Momoko's P.O.V.-
'Well, technically, he cheated because of Mio helping him, but I guess its okay because there were no set rules in the first place.'I thought as I walked out of my hiding place. I looked at everyone, Mio chatting with Kohaku, Akira looking triumphantly at me, Kenshin looking at Kyoko confusedly, and Kyoko was laughing silently into the books. I smiled at her shaking shoulders and ducked head.
I returned my gaze to Akira. Who was looking at me expectantly.
"What?" I asked
"Our bet."
"Oh yeah..." I walked up and kissed him on the cheek.
"I thought we agreed on the lips."
"What?! No way!" I looked at him incredulously. "I don't believe you."
"Fine, I'll have to get it myself." He swiftly walked up to me and kissed me. He kissed me. Full on the lips. I stayed frozen for a while.
He pulled away. I stared at him for a second, a blush flooding my cheeks.
"Seeya, Mo-mo-ko." he winked and walked off.
Kyoko looked at me. I knew what she was asking. I shook my head no, and she shrugged. Mio looked... shocked, to say the least.
"We gotta go, bye girls." Kohaku walked off with Kenshin in the direction that Akira left in.
Mio walked up to me slowly and said in a whisper to me and Kyoko,"They do know... They do know that they're going in the wrong direction if they want to get to the exit, right?"
We all started laughing. That's right. Even Kyoko laughs sometimes.
OMG I did it! I actually am very proud of this chapter. Red fluff! YAY FWUFF FWUFF! I'll write the blues and purples next time. Maybe.(blue fluff is kinda hard, purples are just an awkward couple in general...) It's a longer chapter than usual. I'll try to do longer chapters from now on! K THX BAI!
