Me-Yolo, you guys! Wassup in da house?!

Kiseki-...Eh?

Amu-Exactly, what the hell did you just say?

Me-I'm an American! I wouldn't expect you guys to figure that out.

Amu-Well then...*sweat drops*

Miki-Miss Fabulous doesn't own Shugo Chara!

Me-And read on! :D

Miki's POV

I woke up to the sound of thunder outside. I let out a squeak as I hid back under the sheets.

Truth be told, I hate thunder. Since when does any girl not fear a loud crack of thunder?

That was when I heard Ran knock on the door.

"Miki? You up?" she asked.

"Yeah." I told her.

"Then, I suggest you get up." she suggested.

I nodded.

"Alright, Ran." I said just as I heard Ran walk off.

I got out of bed and I headed over to my closet. I opened the closet door and I pulled out a white blouse along with skinny jeans and white flip flops. I put that on, brushed my hair, picked up my backpack, and I headed downstairs.

Everyone else was rushing around in the kitchen.

"Guys, what's up?" I asked.

Su looked away from her ham and cheese sandwich and smiled once she saw me.

"Hey, Miki!" she greeted.

Su had on a hot pink tank top with a black one on top of it along with white skinny jeans and brown ankle boots.

"Hey." I said.

"So, did you guys sleep well?" Dia asked as she continued to brush her hair.

Dia had on a light blue one-shoulder shirt along with black denim flare jeans and tan cowboy boots.

Ran simply shrugged as she packed her leftovers from dinner into a container.

"Meh. I slept okay." she said.

Ran had on a red tank top with a white jeans jacket over it along with black leather tights and white go-go boots.

"The storm last night kept me up..." Su trailed off.

Dia nodded in agreement.

"True...that storm was very noisy." Dia looked over at me. "Don't you think so, Miki?" she asked.

I eyed Dia weirdly as I finished making my hot chocolate.

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Did the storm spook you out?" Dia asked.

I shook my head.

"No." I lied.

Ran, Su, and Dia looked at me with confused looks on their faces. They knew how scared of big thunderstorms I was and hearing me lie and say that I wasn't scared was something they knew was off with me.

I sighed.

"Fine...the storm scared me half to death..." I trailed off.

"Now, that's a better answer." Ran pointed out.

"She kept letting out shrieks every once in a while in the middle of the night. I was kinda glad that she calmed down at around four thirty this morning." Su said.

I rolled my eyes at them.

"Yeah, you guys can keep talking." I told them as we finished eating our breakfast.

We grabbed our backpacks and headed out the door.

"Alright, guys! Today's Friday, so let's make it count." Ran said.

"Oh, and please don't get into trouble, Miki." Dia warned.

I groaned.

"Aw, come on! It wasn't my fault, anyway!" I complained before stomping off, leaving the others behind.

They all had small smirks on their faces as they looked at each other.

"Operation Find Out If Miki Likes Yoru will commence now!"

Ran's POV

I nudged Su just as she bit into her swiss cheese and bologna sandwich.

"Look. Miki's coming over here with Yoru." I whispered as I put a French fry into my mouth.

"She is?" Dia questioned, putting down her chopsticks and she leaned over towards me.

"Yeah." I pointed at where Miki and Yoru were. "There they are." I said.

Su began to squeal.

"Aw~! They are so cute~!" Su exclaimed.

Dia shushed Su.

"Shush! They're coming!" Dia exclaimed as we went back to eating our food.

Miki and Yoru arrived at the table and they sat down across from us.

"Hey, guys!" Miki greeted.

"Hey-nya." Yoru said with a cheeky smile on his face.

Yoru had on a red shirt with a purple hoodie over it, black jeans and white Vans.

I managed to smile.

"Hello, you two!" I greeted.

Miki bit into her cheese stick while Yoru sipped on his light lemonade.

It was silent around the table for most of the time. Occasionally, Dia and Yoru engaged in some conversations, but other than that, the table was very silent.

"I'll be back." I muttered as I got up and headed over to the trash bin.

I tossed my trash into the bin and that was when I noticed Kiseki glancing over at Miki and Yoru. There was something in his eyes that I couldn't put my finger, but he was probably feeling something just by looking at those two.

Either he was gay or he wanted Miki all to himself.

I shook the thought of Kiseki being gay out of my head.

"Okay, Kiseki's not gay! He's straight! Wait, how in the world would I know if he's straight or gay?" I mentally groaned as I saw Kiseki get up from his spot and he began to walk over to the restroom.

My feet couldn't stop themselves as I began to run after him.

"Hey! Wait!" I called out as I raced out of the cafeteria and I continued to follow Kiseki.

"Kiseki!" I called out.

He stopped and turned around to face me just as I stopped in front of him, panting in the process.

"What do you want?" he asked while staring at me.

He had on a red sleeveless hoodie with brown skinny jeans and black and white checkered Vans.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

He eyed me weirdly, obviously wondering why I asked him that.

"Why do you want to know?" he questioned.

"Because- - -" that was when I heard footsteps heading in our direction.

My eyes widened as I grabbed ahold of Kiseki's arm and pulled him into a hallway, hoping to hide from the people who were coming down the hallway.

"Jesus, lady! What's your problem?" he asked while shooting daggers at me.

"Damn, you think I'm something holy?" I questioned.

"Huh? Um...no. That's not what I..." he smacked himself in the face. "Oh god..." he trailed off.

I laughed at that.

"Miki wasn't wrong when she told me about you..." I trailed off.

Kiseki looked at me.

"You're Ran, aren't you?" he asked.

"I'm quite flattered." I told him sarcastically.

It was silent for a second before I let out a sigh.

"Okay, I need your help." I told him.

"Why my help?" he questioned.

"It's about Miki. I think she likes Yoru." I stated.

"Why don't you just ask her?" he suggested.

"Knowing Miki, she wouldn't tell us anything. So, we always have to search out for the truth." I explained.

"Like a mystery, right?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Yeeup." I then saw Miki and Yoru coming down the hallway. "Look." I told him as I pointed over at where they were.

"Where could have Ran gone?" Miki looked over at Yoru. "Do you have any idea?" she asked.

Yoru simply shrugged.

"Got no clue-nya." he stated simply.

Miki sighed as she ran her fingers through her sapphire blue locks.

"Grand...we lost Ran..." she trailed off.

"It's alright-nya. We'll find Ran soon-nya." Yoru reassured her.

Miki nodded.

"Alright. Let's head back to the lunchroom." Miki suggested as they turned and headed back in the direction of the lunchroom.

I let out a sigh as I looked over at Kiseki, who was apparently biting his lip. Some blood was seeping out of where he was biting.

"Bleeding much?" I asked, causing him to snap out of what might've been a reverie as he turned to look at me.

"What?" he questioned.

"Your lip's bleeding." I pointed out.

"Oh...I'll clean that up later." he said.

"Anyway, you actually seem like a cool guy. Wanna be friends?" I asked as I extended my hand out in his direction.

He looked down at my hand and then at me.

"What? I put on hand sanitizer today." I pointed out.

He chuckled as he shook my hand.

"Okay, then." we walked out of the hallway we were hiding in. "I should probably go and clean this blood up." he said.

"Okay. Hey, you free at around six thirty?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Yeah, I'm free. Why?" he questioned.

"Amu's cooking dinner tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come join us." I requested.

"I would come. However, your psycho mouse of a sister would try to kill me." Kiseki pointed out.

I nodded, realizing that he meant Miki.

"Ah...well, I'll keep her under control. She always listens to me." I told him.

"Okay. See you later." he said.

I smiled.

"Alright! Bye, Kiseki!" I waved as I walked back in the direction of the lunchroom.

As Miki pounced on me and Yoru asked if I was okay, I began to think about what might've caused Kiseki's lip to bleed.

"Why was his bleeding? Is he...jealous?!" I asked myself.

Miki's POV

I let out a sigh as I finished my English test.

It was at least four thirty and I was supposed to be home now. If only I was good at taking tests and keeping myself focused...

I handed the test to my teacher and she smiled.

"Thank you. Now, you may go home." she told me.

I nodded as I headed out of the building and I began to head home.

That was when it began to rain down on me.

"Crap!" I exclaimed.

I honestly had no idea that it was going to rain again this afternoon. It rained early this morning and once we left the house, it was sunny! Now, it's gloomy like hell. Maybe Mother Nature's going through some mood swing issues...

I began to shiver as I hugged myself.

My white blouse was beginning to look see-through and I growled at myself for not checking the weather broadcast before leaving.

An umbrella appeared above my head and I looked over to my left to see Yoru next to me.

He shot me a cheeky smile.

"Hey, Miki-nya." he greeted.

"Hi." I replied as we began to walk through the rain.

"Are you just heading home-nya?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Yup. I had to take my English test." I explained.

He then eyed me up and down.

"Aren't you cold-nya?" he asked.

"Well...I'm a little cold..." I trailed off.

He stopped, causing me to stop, as well.

"Here-nya. Hold this-nya." he told me suddenly as he handed me his umbrella.

I slowly took his umbrella, wondering why he made me hold his umbrella.

"Why are you making me hold this...?" I asked him.

I felt something warm rest on my shoulders and that was when I realized that it was his hoodie.

I blushed furiously as I looked at him, who had now taken the umbrella from my hands and we continued walking down the street.

"Yoru...! Why are you making me wear your jacket? Aren't you going to get cold?" I asked.

He simply shrugged.

"I don't care-nya. As long as you're warm, I'm fine-nya." he told me.

The blush remained on my face as I hugged myself with his jacket as we arrived at my house.

"Want me to walk you up to the door-nya?" he asked.

I nodded.

"I would like that." I told him.

We walked up to the front door and I smiled as I turned to face him.

"Thank you." I gave him a hug. "You've been very sweet to me, Yoru." I told him.

He chuckled, a slight blush on his face.

"You're welcome-nya. Well, I'll see you on Saturday-nya." he told me.

I nodded, almost forgetting that school was tomorrow, as well.

"Okay, Yoru." I said as I went to go unlock the door.

That was when I realized that the jacket was still on me.

"Yoru, what about your- - -" I turned around and realized that Yoru was nowhere to be seen.

I let out a sigh as I turned around and unlocked the door.

I walked into the house to see- - -

"Kiseki?!"

Me-And there you guys have it!

Miki-Why leave them at a massive cliffhanger?

Me-Because I like the element of ze cliffhanger.

Kiseki-But, aren't people gonna get tired of that?

Me-HEY! I'm not like some people, who put cliffhangers for every single damn chapter!

Ran-Don't get too worked up.

Su-Can we just stop talking about cliffhangers?

Me-Okay.

Dia-R&R please! If you do, you get a virtual pie! :)
