~::*::~::*::~

Gakupo's POV

Ouch. My head. It felt like it'd been run over by a million semi trucks, chopped on with an axe, and then forced to watch Elmo. Oh, the horror.

Somehow, I managed to drag my eyes open. And then I was glad I did. In front of me was the most beautiful angel, with pink hair and blue eyes ...

"So beautiful," I muttered, reaching up to cup the angel's face. And then grunted in pain as she bit my hand.

"Ouwww, wha-?" But the angel slapped a hand over my mouth and growled at me.

"Not a single word, you stupid samourai. I've had enough of your crap." She released my mouth and I sat up.

"Urgh, what are you talking about?" I looked around for the angel, but only Luka and I were there. And Luka was in the exact same place that the angel was.

Wait, did that mean Luka WAS the angel?

Argh, this headache must be messing with my brain.

I slowly got up, ignoring the throbs of my head. Luka stared up at me with an unfathomable loathing. I stared back, confused.

"What?"

"I hate you."

"What?"

"No, nevermind. I REALLY hate you."

"What! Why?"

Luka growled and jumped up. "Thanks to you and your stupid samourai gimmicks, I have to spend the whole day tomorrow with you. You ... I loathe you."

I jawdropped. NO girl had ever talked to me like that before. Usually it was 'Gakupo-sama, let me carry your books','Gakupo-sama, sit with me at lunch today', or 'Marry me, Gakupo-sama!' Not ever 'I hate you' and definitely never 'I loathe you.' I smirked. It was time to teach this girl a lesson.

She turned toward the door, but I stuck my arm out and blocked her way. She whipped around to glare at me. "WHAT?"

I slowly lowered my arm. "Why do you hate me?" Just a few more minutes. If I could stall her until then ...

Luka glared at me some more. "You're concieted, you're a player, you think you can just do any damn thing you want because you wear some stupid robe with a little toy sword." She paused to smirk. "Yes, I know it's made of bamboo and plastic."

I stared. "Is that all?" She gasped and snarled at me.

"Y-you ..! I hate hate hate HATE hate hate HATE-"

"The school building is now closing. All teachers, students and faculty must exit the building. Initiating countdown. 10 ..."

Luka whipped back towards the door. "See ya!" But I tripped her.

"8 ..."

I pinned her down, and she struggled to get up. "Get off me ..!"

"6 ..."

Finally she kicked me off.

"3 ..."

"WAIT!" She lunged desparately for the door. I smirked. She wasn't gonna make it.

"0. Lockdown operated." Luka jawdropped. She whipped around to face me again.

"YOU IDIOT! NOW I'M STUCK IN HERE WITH YOU! I COULD'VE BEEN OUT BY NOW! IDIOT!"

I grabbed her wrist as it was about to smack into my face.

"IDIOT! I HATE YOU! IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT! Idiot! Idiot ..." she stopped, panting. And I made the mistake of loosening my grip.

CRUNCH!

In two seconds flat, I had a bloody nose and she was at the door. "That's payback," she spat, and dissapeared through the doorway.

I watched the steady trickle of red liquid down onto my kimono. Dammit, that was gonna take forever to get off. And I should know.

I got up again and held my nose gingerly. It wasn't broken, thank God, just ... severely bruised. I went to the nurse's office for some gauze that I could wrap it in. On my back, I passed the cafeteria and saw Luka sitting alone at a table. An evil sneer spread across my face as I snuck up behind her. And I made the worst mistake I could've posibly made.

"Boo."

"GYAH!" She spun around and smacked me for the second time that night, this time in the ribs. I fell back, cursing.

"Dammit, Luka! What is this, 'beat up Gakupo night'?"

She growled at me. "Yes, but I call it 'payback for Gakupo trapping poor innocent Luka in with him night'!"

I stood up, still holding my poor aching rib. I grinned mischievously. "Ah, I wouldn't call you innocent. You've probably lost it by now." (A/N: You know what he means ... ED)

She raised a fist. "Don't make me break your arm, you-"

Suddenly there was a loud clap of thubder. "GUAH!" Luka flinched so hard her hair frizzed up.

I snickered. "Not scared of thunder, are we, Luka-chan?"

She scowled at me, forcing herself to relax. "Of course no-"

BOOM!

"ACK!" She dropped and crawled under the table. I stared after her curiously.

So the great Megurine Luka is afraid of thunder, eh?

I dropped to my knees and peered under the table. "Hey, Luka-san? You alright?"

She wrapped her arms around her knees and curled into a ball. "Leave me alone."

CRACK! BOOM!

Somehow, I softened at the sight of Luka under that table trembling like she was now. So I crawled under there with her and wrapped my arms around her. She pushed me away. "Get off!"

WHOOOOOOM!

She muffled a shriek and shrank back into my arms. She was trembling so hard that the table shook. I stroked her hair comfortingly, and to my surprise she didn't object.

"Luka-sama, why do you hate me?"

SHOOM!

Her trembling ceased, if only just a little bit.

"Because, you ... you love Gumi."

CRAACK!

"Is that what this is about? But I thought you two were best friends."

Luka sighed, her trembling gone. "We are, but ... I've liked you longer than she has." She shrank some more.

I brushed a strand of hair back from her face and I could feel her blush. "Well, that's nice to know."

She straightened up slightly in surprise. "Huh?"

"Luka, you baka ... I love you."

There was only the soft pitter-patter of rain. Finally she managed to speak.

"You ... you do?"

I laughed lightly, squeezing her. "Of course! Why do you think I act like this when I'm around you?"

She sighed. "I dunno ...trying to play me?"

I tilted her head upwards. "I would never try to play you, Luka."

And then I kissed her.

She blushed against my face as I gently stroked her hair, marveling at how soft it was. She reached up and wove her arms around my neck and shut her eyes. She sighed and pulled me closer, trying to make this one moment of bliss last.

But, as fate would have it, we had to pull away for air.

She buried her face in my chest and said something muffledly.

"Hm?" I asked. I knew what she had said, but I wanted to hear it for myself.

"Gakupo, I ... I ... l-love ... I love you."

I squeezed her again, pressing my lips to her forehead.

"I love you too."

~::*::~::*::~

"I tried calling Luka yesterday, but she didn't pick up. Probably had it turned off." Marou sighed at her friend's

carelessness.

Rin and Len walked next to her, tired. "Urgh, I couldn't even move when I got home. Those attacks really drained my energ-"

"ZOMG! GUYS, GUYS! COME HAVE A LOOK AT THIS!" Teto screamed, arms flailing anime-style.

Marou, Rin and Len rushed up and looked where Teto was pointing.

Rin snickered. "Well, we know what Luka was doing last night, at least."

Marou shook her head. "Luka, you dirty, dirty flower."

Teto pointed again. "They must have been gettin' DOWN!"

Len and Marou stared. Rin gasped, "Oh my ..."

Next to them was a pair of female's underwear.

Starri: Luka, you dirty little girl ...

Luka: *gasp* THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN!

Starri: *smirks* In my story it did.

Len: Gakupo!

Gakupo: I'm not a pervert ...

Marou: *shakes head* I wonder how Gumi will take this.

Gumi: *sits in emo corner*

Teto: *Munches leek* Hey, I can see why Miku likes these.

Miku: *Munches bread* same with this stuff.

Rin: *spits out banana* Len, you have no sense of taste.

Len:*gasp!* I can't believe your taste buds aren't sucked into the holiness of that heavenly fruit and caused to leap around in the happy rejoicing of satisfation!

Marou: Whoa ... that was a long description of a banana.

Len: R&R and I'll make a long description of YOUR favorite food!

Starri: I'll only take the first five descriptions, though. And I'll add them to the beginning of the next few chapters.

Teto&Miku: So R&R!
