Chapter 4

I sat staring into space with an extremely bored look on my face. All the Joes were on duty and I was currently sitting in the lounge, petting Shylo and watching YouTube videos. I typed in a search for my High school's chorus, hoping I could find some sort of entertainment.

34 results popped up, and most of them weren't really my school. I scrolled down and came upon "Hollis Brookline Chorus Class 2009 'Japanese Snow Song'". I clicked on the video and up popped a window that showed both girls and boys dressed up and standing on some sort of risers.

"I remember this!" I shouted in surprise as the beginning of the song started and chimes gently rang.

"Snow is falling, falling gently, gently it will grow.

Snow is whirling, swirling, twirling all round Hokkaido.

Hills are wearing white, white cotton blankets,

Snowy blankets in the night.

Trees bear silver buds, buds that blossom,

Blossom flowers of white."

More chimes started to play and it reminded me of how god damn catchy this song was.

"Yuki ya kon kon

Arare ya kon kon

Futte wa, futte wa

Kareki Nokorazu

hana ga saku."

The videos ended quickly and brought me back to the YouTube home page. I smiled happily and remembered Snake Eyes grew up in Japan. I bounced up and down happily and Shylo raised his head groggily.

I patted him and then brought up the IM login. I typed in my username and password then checked who was online.

'ScarlettLetter'

'Ripcord'

'BreakerBreaker19'

and finally...

'Snake_Eyes'

I clicked on his name and sent him the link to the Snow song. About 2 minutes later I got a reply back.

Snake_Eyes: ummm? should I ask?

PushingDaisies13: do you know that song?

Snake_Eyes: yes. I grew up in Japan remember?

-SNAKE_EYES HAS LOGGED OUT-

I sighed. I think I was starting to like Snake Eyes... Oh god... I couldn't think like that! He is like 4 years old than me! But it would be totally worth it... No. No. Can't think like that!

I was knocked out my train of thought by a loud crash behind me. I screamed at the top of my lungs and turned to see Snake Eyes smirking underneath his mask with two pans in his hands.

"Not cool." I glared. The ninja shrugged and placed them on the coffee table and jumped onto the couch next to me. Waving to me, I blushed, and waved back.

"You are so weird sometimes." I poked him. He poked back. I frowned. I poked him. He poked me. I poked his stomach and he lurched forward and suppressed a laugh-like-grunt. I smiled evilly.

"So... The Smooth Ninja is ticklish?" with a pleading look, Snake Eyes shook his head. I pretty much jumped on top of him, and started poking his stomach causing him to actually laugh. He was a hearty, happy and extremely sexy laugh, one you would expect out of a GOD.

I stopped tickling him and raised an eyebrow. He waved me off and grabbed my arms, restraining me as he ran his fingers over my stomach causing me to start laugh hysterically.

"No! Stop! Stop!" I screamed between laughs. Snake' stopped and smiled hugging me. He let go a little and brought me face to face with him. I blushed a deep shade of red and he smirked.

"Y'know, you have a really cute laugh..." I started. Snake-Eyes turned away, as if embarrassed.

"No really. It's really realllllly cute." Snake Eyes was so unbelievably close to me, I thought he was actually gonna kiss me, that was until Ripcord entered the lounge and totally ruined the moment.
