Title: 5. entire orb of the satellite

Pairing/Character/s: Yuki/Machi, Kakeru

Word Count: 724 words

Summary: Kakeru keeps a close eye on Yuki and Machi. Sequel to Ch. 13 and Ch. 28. Finally ends the series.

A/N: This theme works under the idea that a satellite oversees all. XD I couldn't figure out how to end this until now. This is the last of the Kakeru meddling stories... unless I get more inspiration.

"What have you found?" Kakeru asks solemnly, staring at the members of the Yuki Stalker Squad from behind the teacher's desk. They met after school in an empty classroom. Kimi sat in the first row, playing with her hair. The other members were also part of the Prince Yuki Fan Club. They were valuable because they already spent part of their lives stalking Yuki anyway.

One Yuki fan raised her hand. "Prince Yuki is looking very healthy today. He smiled at me and my heart leapt at the sight of his joy and my joy intertwined. My heart flew to the gray sky mirrored in Prince Yuki's eyes."

But they often spent valuable time forcing others to listen to their obsessive poetry. Somehow this fan had ended up standing in her chair as other Prince Yuki fan members nodded along. Kakeru strongly suspected they were mumbling some kind of prayer. He was too scared to ask about it.

"OK!" Kakeru shouted, eager to turn to less disturbing topics. "Anyone else?"

"Kakeru, Yun-Yun and Machi were both missing from lunch!" Kimi announces excitedly.

"Who saw them at lunch?!" Kakeru demanded.

"Yun-Yun said he had to talk to her alone," Kimi adds in a sing-song voice.

"Alone? With her?!" someone else shrieks hysterically. One girl stands up suddenly, obscuring Kakeru's view.

"I heard he got back to class late, too-"

"A witch has captured Prince Yuki's heart-"

"Oh my gosh, Ayumi's fainted!"

"TIME OUT!" Kakeru yells, standing on top of the teacher's desk. Even the supposedly fainted girl looks up with curiosity. "Uh, good meeting, guys. Very productive. We really, uh... Why don't we end here for today and think up a plan tomorrow?"

"But shouldn't we figure out what happened between Prince Yuki and the girl first?"

"I say we force it out of her!"

"We could kidnap her!"

"No one's kidnapping!" Kakeru squawks, but he is drowned out by the clamor of a dozen girls.

"Kimi thinks Yun-Yun would be very mad if he found out Machi was being kidnapped," Kimi adds helpfully, pressing a finger to her cheek. Several Pri-Yuki girls stiffen in reaction. "Maybe he would stop talking to us..." As if in a trance, the Yuki fans get up and run out without another word.

Kakeru sighs loudly, sitting down on the edge of a desk. "Oh, my head."

But the nightmare isn't over.

Kimi's eyes are shining as bright as diamonds...very expensive, high quality diamonds. They shine so brightly that Kakeru has to squint when he looks at her.

"Kimi, I owe you a new bag."

She claps her hands together. "Chanel quilted leather, OK?"

He corners Yuki in the hallway. It's so easy that it's laughable. All he does is mumble, "You...Student Council...are...help...going...problem...down...", and that is enough to get Yuki to follow him into a side hallway.

"What's the problem?" the president asks, fidgeting with his pen.

Kakeru makes sure to look him in the eye. "What's going on between you and Machi?"

"That's not Student Council related."

It was a good try, but not enough. "Machi's on the Student Council, therefore this is related."

"If this isn't important, I was talking to someone-"

"Let me rephrase: I know you are trying to date my sister."

Yuki's eyes shift back to him with determination. "OK. Yes. I'm serious about this."

"Are you?" Kakeru wiggles his eyebrows, enjoying the look of exasperation on his friend's face.

"Of course I am. Is this going somewhere?"

"It's not going anywhere! You are the worst at wooing girls!" He dramatically points a finger in Yuki's face.

"Kakeru-"

"I'm going to be a bazillion years old before I become an uncle!"

"Kakeru-"

"Let me give you some tips on how to woo women!"

Yuki clamps Kakeru's mouth shut with one hand. "Kakeru, I don't need your help. I have a plan. You don't have to worry about becoming an uncle." His cheeks flush. "Not uncle, but- You know what I mean."

"This is a bat." Machi lifts the aluminum bat, tapping it against her free hand. "Why a bat?"

Kakeru wonders if he is taking Yuki's words too seriously.

"Machi, have you and I ever talked about what to do when a boy is taking advantage of you?"

She stares.

"One hit to the knees and he's down on the floor! Want to practice?"
