Not only did they have their baked goods-Nene, Akizuki, Hikari, and Chihoro had another plan.
~In The Girls Restroom From Earlier~
Hikari, Nene, Akizuki, and Chihoro were brushing their hair and overheard a conversation between Hikari's sister who was another friend of everyone's and some girl.
"I can't believe how cute Ryu is! I love him-he's so cool!" burst Akari
"I know-he's awesome. You should tell him how you feel,"
"I....I can't!" Akari cried
Nene, Akizuki, Chihoro, and Hikari were on the other side of the room.
"Selling yourself short aren't ya Akari?" said Hikari out loud
"Hikari!" cried Akari "Can I please ask you a favor?!"
Akari was adoring. Deep sapphire that peered into your very soul and long blond hair flowing down her back.
"Your my little sis' so of course you can," said Hikari
Nene and Akizuki looked at one another-was Hikari smiling?
Was there another person who could calm Hikari down? Nene had been the only one able too.
"Does Ryu like me?" asked Akari
"Hey-Chihoro cell phone now!" yelled Hikari
"Here!" cheered Chihoro sensing a game of matchmaker coming on as her body tingled in excitement
The power of love.......
"Yo-Toshiro, does your brother like Akari? You know-my sister?"
"Ah...hang on a sec...have to make sure he not here," whispered Toshiro
After a minute-Toshiro came
"He's not around and the answer is yes-he has a major crush on her-he told me that two days ago,"
"Thanks Toshiro," said Hikari hanging up
"Hey girls," began Hikari "Its matchmaking time!"
"Yeah!" cheered the group
Akari blinked
"What did I just get myself into?"
"Hey Hikari-you should ask Miss Blake to take Akari into our school counsel group," said Nene
"Already ahead of you," said Hikari exiting and heading for Miss Blake's office
And that was it-Akari now had part in this charade of madness
~Back to the Present
Akari had been introduced well to the group and had helped Hikari make the Lemon Squares.
It was Eighth Period now.
Hikari was putting a headset on Akari's head. Well at least the receiver-Hikari has the microphone.
"Now I'm going to tell you what to say and your going to say it when you get the chance. Do no interrupt him!"
Akari nodded in understanding
Ryu was under the same set up.
Except Toshiro was the talker.
After the first fifteen minutes-Some of everyone's items had sold.
Nene and Akizuki were positioned.
Nene behind Ryu since he'd need more force to move.
Akizuki behind Akari since she'd require less force.
Everyone had a receiver so that everyone would hear Hikari.
"Alright Akizuki and Nene-get ready....get set...push!" said Hikari
Akari and Ryu were shoved at each other!
Toshiro sold a piece of cake
Hikari sold a lemon square and one of Nene and Akizuki's cookies.
Nene and Akizuki rushed back to the selling area
Rin sold a piece of Toffee.
Sango sold some cheesecake and Miroku sold some gingersnaps.
Inuyasha and Kagome sold a cupcake.
And.......
Ryu caught Akari turning both a deep red.
"Ask her if she's okay!" prompted Toshiro
"Are you okay Akari?" asked Ryu
"Say your fine-just a little scared," prompted Hikari
"I'm fine just a bit scared is all,"
"Try to comfort her,"
"How do I do that?" hissed Ryu
"Huh? How do you do what?" asked Akari
"You idiot!" screamed Toshiro
"Um nothing at all!" stammered Ryu
"Pat on the back dumb-dumb!" cried Toshiro
Ryu patted her on the back causing Akari to sigh in relief.
"Hey tell him thank you!" yelled Hikari
"Um thank you for catching me," said Akari
"Tell her you need to tell her something!" yelled Toshiro
"I....I...need to tell you something," stammered Ryu
"Tell him you have to tell him something as well!" yelled Hikari
"I need to say something too," said Akari
"I.....I.....um....I...." stuttered Ryu
"Um....I...ah.....I..." mumbled Akari
"I LOVE YOU!" they both cried
Hikari and Toshiro's mouthes dropped.
"Holy crap...." they said
Nene and Akizuki giggled
Inuyasha and Kagome looked up.
"Holy mother....oh my god...." gaped Inuyasha and Kagome
"Ah....ah....oh goodness," said Rin turning red
Hyoma put an arm around Rin
Sango hugged Miroku
Chihoro kissed Toshiro
Miko hugged York making him red
Naomi said "Aw!" and hugged her little detective
The couple in the center hadn't even moved
Their eyes were wide.
And their faces were red as pure crimson fire.
"Kiss her you dumb-dumb!" yelled Toshiro
"Go sis!" cried Hikari
"Yeah!" cheered the entire group for support
Suddenly sales picked up very fast.
Ryu had finally pulled Akari to him and kissed her.
Toshiro and Hikari high fived
Then Hikari high fived Chihoro, Nene, and Akizuki
Nene and Akizuki high fived
Before you knew it-every couple kissed.
Hikari grinned a grin-this one saying
"God I must be crazy as hell to hang out with this group!"
