In a Simple Way I Love You:
I leaned against my locker with a sigh. "Miranda!" I whined.
"Come on. Just walk me to class. Please?!" She begged, pouting.
"Fine." I sighed, slinging my backpack onto my back and my purse over my shoulder. "But I can't stay. I have...business..."
"Business, huh? Which one? The cute one they call monkey?" She smirked.
"Huh?"
"Don't play dumb. You're doin' one of those hot new guys that follow you around, aren't you?" She leaned in close. "You shouldn't be wearing that ring anymore, hmm?"
"THAT'S JUST STUPID!!" Why is it that no one else in this school knows who they are?! Why only me?!
"Uh-huh. Sure." She continued to smirk as she opened the door to the choir room.
"Miranda, you know you're the only one for me," I murmured, pulling her into my arms.
"K-Kairii!" She gasped.
"Hush now." I whispered against the skin of her neck. "There will never be anyone else.
Just when I was getting into the groove of things, she burst out laughing. "Kai, that was great!" She giggled. She then hugged me tight.
"It would've been better if you had been able to play along." I shook my head and sighed. "See ya."
"Kairii, where do you think you're going?" Nutbar demanded, stamping her foot angrilly.
"To do my job. I am now to report to the media center every day during fifth block so as to answer letters for my advice column in the gazette. If you'd like help extracting your foot from your mouth I'm sure your father Satan would have no problem in aiding you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to be late." And with a smirk on my face I headed up to the media center.
"What took ya so long?" Goku asked as I plopped down in one of the comfy chairs, turning on my laptop and waiting for it to boot up.
"Sorry." Was my only reply as I stretched my arms and cracked my knuckles. "So...Um..."
"Here. These are for you." Sanzo let a stack of letters fall on the table in front of me. "Have fun."
"Oh no you don't, Mr. Behind the Desk Lady said you had to help me. And I think it's time you paid up for all your dumb a-- remarks, making me cook for you, and living in my house. So you're going to sit down and get in touch with your sensative side." I said, pointing to one of the other comfy chairs in the circle around the round table.
Sanzo glared at me. "Ok, listen here and listen good; no one no one takes that tone with me!"
"Now now, Sanzo; it is only fair that we help her." Hakkai said reasonably, taking a seat in one of the chairs.
"Besides; it could be fun!" Goku sat in the seat on my left.
"Ah, why not?" Gojyo plopped down in the chair across the table from mine.
With a sigh, Sanzo sat between Goku and Hakkai. "Fine. Let's get this over with."
"Ok. The first letter I pick up is the one we answer, ok?" I said. Everyone nodded. I picked up a random letter and opened it. "Here goes. It says:
Dear Kairii,
I really like this guy at my school, but I don't know how to ask him out or what to say. And I'm not sure when would be the right time to do it. I'm not used to asking people out or being asked out myself, and I could really use your help. Please help me, Kairii-san.
Patriot 16
"What is it with girls and their stupid obsession with 'love'?!" Sanzo demanded.
"What is it with you and being an a--hole?!" I retorted.
"I think that Patriot 16 should go out, buy herself some really sexy leingure(Sp?) and sneak into his house. Then she should wait for him on his bed. That is always a good kick off for a relationship." Gojyo grinned. The sad thing is, I think he was being totally serious.
"Gojyo, if I weren't afraid of being scarred for life because I had to see your...y'know... I would castrate you. With a spork." I informed him.
"Oh, you'd love to see it and you know it." He smirked.
"Well, maybe she could make him lunch..." Goku suggested.
"I don't know, Goku. This could be a much more difficult problem."
They were all making this more difficult than they needed to.
"Listen, all she needs to do is be herself." Both Sanzo and I said in unison. The others all blinked at me.
"Patriot said Kairii-san not Sanzo, therefore it was my idea, and I win." I cracked my knuckles once more and opened up a word document, ready to type the reply to Patriot 16's letter.
Dear Patriot 16,
In regards to your question about how to ask out the guy you like, the first thing to keep in mind is to always be yourself. Remember that it is always important to be true to who you are, and if a guy likes you for someone you aren't really, then he doesn't really like you at all, and it wasn't meant to be. The next step is just to be calm. I know that being near your crush can make you all jittery and nervous, but the thing to remember is that he is just a person, just like you and me. Next, be confident. Telling yourself he's going to say no and believing it will only show in the way you behave. Guys like girls who are confident and can believe in themselves. Finally, remember that no matter what the outcome, it was worth the risk. It is better to have taken a chance and be met naught than not to take a chance at all. But also remember the more you respect yourself the more others respect you. When you see yourself as beautiful, others will see you that way as well. Let your personality shine through and I'm sure the outcome will be good. But here's a warning; it is better to ask them yourself, in person, than through a note, or asking a friend to ask them out for you. Always remember; confidence is key.
I hope I've managed to help you with your problem at least a little,
Here for you always,
Kairii.
Having finished my work, I leaned back and stretched out my arms again. "Nothing like a job well done."
"I still think she should have offered herself as some sort of kinky sacrifice." Gojyo muttered.
"You're stupid." Hakkai, Sanzo, Goku, and I all said together.
"Do you think it will work?" Goku asked.
"Who knows?" I shrugged.
"She can't guaruntee it will work, Goku. She has no control over anyone's heart. The only thing she can do is give them advice to steer them in the right direction." Hakkai explained.
"I hope it does work out, though." I said. "I like happy endings."
"You're stupid too." Sanzo told me.
"You know what Sanzo? So's your face." And with that I laughed, closed my laptop, and hoped for the best.
A/N: So, first off, I would like to thank Patriot 16 for sending me my first question! I actually really enjoy giving advice to people and trying to help them. So I hope that this helped you at least a little. Good luck with your crush. I really hope it works out. And be sure to let me know how things turn out, ok?
So, who will send in their letters next? I'm also putting in letters from my friends at school (most of which will be crazy) so there won't be a huge lull between chapters or anything. Um, so, anyways, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter, and maybe it will help others as well.
Love always,
Kairii♥
