Cuxie: Okies! What chapter is this? I forget.

Karin:(sigh)14.

Cuxie: Seriously? Not 15?

Karin: Not unless you include that Authoress Alert from way back. I think you should delete that. It's not like it makes a difference now. I mean...are you even listening?

Cuxie:(reading manga)Huh? Wha?

Karin: JUST START THE DAMN THING!!

Cuxie:...God. Language.

Misha12: Stop. Drop. And ROLL!! ROLL KID, ROLL!! I refuse to let you turn into a Micchi fan-girl! The last one ripped up my Kazune-kun doll! T.T

Kazune: Wha? You have a--

Cuxie: NO!! Sheesh. What the hell's so great about Micchi NEwayz? On a hottness scale of 1-10 he's like...a 6. Not high by my standards. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but whatever.

ToastBandits: Happy?

Kazune: What's your problem?

Misha:(glomps Kazune)Kazune-kun suu!X3

Karin&Cuxie: WAH!! S-Stop! T-T

Kotarou: Moving on...Misha. Bad. Stop.

Misha: Hmm?(glomps Kotarou)Kotarou-kun suu!X3

Kotarou:Xx

Squeaky-Squishy: Hmm. I didn't think of that. Maybe she could punch him by "accident" or something.XD I dunno. We'll have to see.

hipinklilbunny: Um ok. Thanks.

poohbearlover95: Kay.

Cuxie: Ok. Let's get this show on the road!

Karin: ROLL CHAPPY!!

With Karin:

The ride home was a little awkward, but the guys didn't seem to notice. Ten-chan was going on about Uematsu and Dai-chan and what they were most likely up to. Kotarou seemed nervous, however. He kept glancing suspiciously at Karin. Like he wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to. Karin was relieved when they finally reached the apartments. She followed Shia into their shared apartment while Kotarou and Ten-chan went into the one next to it.

"So this is where we live?" Karin asked curiously as Shia showed her around the apartment. She found most of Misha's things interesting. Especially the box in the corner marked, "to Heaven", but thought it would be best not to go through her things.

"Yep. Though Misha spends most of her time at Higuchi-san's next door."

"Really? Sounds like she has a serious neighbor comlex."

"Um, I guess you could say that." Shia responded, sweatdropping.

Knock! Knock!

"Ladies, can we come in?" Takashi's voice called from behind the closed door.

"I'll get it!" Karin said rushing to the door. She opened it and Takashi stood in the door way grinning. Kotarou stood behind him looking pensive as ever.

"May we come in miss?" he asked, bowing. Karin giggled and stood aside, letting them in. "I have to go in a bit. But I figured I'd stop by to accept my invitation." Karin stared confused. "Don't pretend to be innocent! I know you're in here planning some big 'welcome back' party." Everyone turned to stare at Karin expectantly and Shia shot her a frantic look.

"Oh! Uh...yeah! Totally..su. You caught me!" She said, laughing nervously. "Me and Shia were just talking about it. So, uh, you're both officially invited, su!" She nodded to reinforce her statement. Ten laughed and Kotarou smiled slightly.

"I knew it! I totally knew it! What I tell ya man?" He grinned widely and slapped Kotarou on the back. He laughed too.

"Yeah. That's just like you." he said, looking at Karin now. Their eyes met and she could feel her face heat up.

"Oh, uh. Eheh."

"If you could invite everyone else for us too," Shia spoke up seeing as Karin was in a tight spot. "That would be great." she smiled.

"Ok. But do I have to invite Poops?"

"Who?!" Karin couldn't stop herself from asking. Kotarou and Ten-chan gave her suspicious looks. Ten-chan was about to speak, but Shia interrupted.

"Yes, yes. Everyone's invited. Now if you don't mind we've got to get the place ready." she said ushering them towards the door.

"Ah, Shia-san. What time, though?" Kotarou asked.

"Oh, um. Eight? Tonight. How's that sound?"

"Ok. Bu--"

"Great! We'll see you then!" She smiled warmly before slamming the door shut. Leaving Takashi and Kotarou confused at their doorstep. "Phew. That was a little too close for comfort."

"So...are we supposed to throw a party or something?" Karin asked uncertainly. What the hell just happened?

"Hn? Oh, yes. Misha loves to throw parties. Nothing big though. My, I suppose I should figure out what to serve." she answered rushing into the kitchen.

Karin sighed. "I guess I should go work on my disguise. This sounds like it's gonna be one hell of a night."

MEANWHILE:

"Where were we supposed to have brunch, Kazune-kun?" Misha asked walking beside Kazune.

"Ayase Park. I surprised you forgot all about it." He said conspisously. Misha just smiled humming along the way to the park. Himeka stood idly by, watching intently for any slip-ups.

"Is that them over there?" Misha saw two figures waving in the distance. A dark-haired boy and a green-haired girl.

"Nooo. What on Earth gave you that idea?" Kazune muttered sarcastically. Misha blinked and turned to Himeka who looked like she was trying to disappear. She turned back, only to find Kazune had gone ahead without them.

"Matte! Ko..er, Kazune-kun." she corrected herself. She rubbed her neck nervously trying not to look at him as he glared fiercely at her.

"What did you--"

"Ano, C'mon you two!" Himeka intervened grabbing Misha's hand and pulling her away. "Miyon-chan and Yuuki-chan look like they've been waiting."

"Huh?" Misha looked back at Kazune with a confused expression. "I thought you said that wasn't them, su." Kazune and Himeka both groaned inwardly. They both dragged her towards their other friends.

Miyon and Himeka immediately started hugging and squealing and generally driving Kazune nuts. Misha stood by with a small, unsure of what to do.

"Karin!" Miyon exclaimed hugging her. Misha instinctively hugged backed out of pure friendliness. "Tell me! How was the springs! I bet it was luxurious! Did you bring me a souvenir?!" she asked excitedly. Misha just stared. Himeka laughed nervously.

"I think we should wait until Micchi gets here." she said quietly. The rest nodded.

"So what restaurant are we going to? I'm hungry." Kazune grunted. Miyon giggled and pulled something from behind her back.

"Ta-da! We're having a picnic!" she smiled.

"Wha? You mean we're eating out here?!" Kazune asked incredulously. "No way!" he huffed and crossed his arms over his chest very immaturely.

"Coolies! A picnic party!" Misha cheered. Kazune looked at her like she was crazy. But Miyon seemed triumphant.

"See? Karin's got the right attitude!"

"Whatever. Where the hell is Nishikiori?" he asked annoyed. He glanced at his watch, tapping his foot impatiently. He was about to suggest they start eating without him, when a he saw a surge of light coming from the forest behind them.

"AUUUUUUUUUGH!!" a voice screamed from the trees behind.

"What in the--!"

"That sounded like Micchi!" Himeka said fearfully. Kazune growled, grabbing Karin's hand he took off into the woods dragging Karin behind him. Miyon and Yuuki stood back in shock.

"Where are they going?!" Miyon asked about to take off after them, Himeka grabbed her by the shoulder giving her a look that said not to get involved.

"Don't worry. They can handle whatever it is." she said more confidently than she felt at the moment. I hope they can anyway.

Cuxie: Whoo! Yay! I threw in a little suspense to keep everyone out there alert. It's D-A-N-G-E-R!!

Micchi: What happened to me?!

Cuxie: You died. Under mysterious circumstances.

Micchi: WHA?!

Cuxie: KIDDING!! R&R chicadees! I'll be back!

Yuuki: Stay tuned for the next chapter of "Angel meets Goddess". I'm so confused...
