Chapter 7: Day 3: Hangin' Around

The next day, Shotaro asked Mitsuki if she wanted to go to the mall with him.

Mitsuki was hesitant at first, but then Hiyori possessed her and said, "Yes! Maybe Yuya onii-chan is there!" in a bubbly tone.

Shotaro was stunned with her sudden change in behavior, but was happy all the same.

Up in Moa's room…

Mitsuki growled at Hiyori.

"Why the hell did you do that, Hiyori-chan?!" the purple-blackette snapped.

Hiyori giggled nervously.

"Sorry… I just… wanted to…" she said.

Mitsuki growled and changed her clothes.

When she came down the stairs, Shotaro looked at her in wonder. She was wearing a pink blouse with red hearts, a ruffled magenta skirt, and a blue jacket.

Even though it was simple, he still thought, 'KAWAII!~'

Mitsuki noticed his blush and stare and got embarrassed.

"Don't stare, pervert!" she snapped.

Shotaro shook his head and snapped out of it.

"S-S-Sorry, Mitsuki-chan!" he stuttered, sweating a little.

Shotaro's parents dropped him and Mitsuki off at the mall, they set down some rules. After they did, both teenagers talked about where they liked to visit. Mitsuki liked to visit the clothes and music stores. Shotaro said he liked to visit the magazine and manga stores.

"I'm guessing you buy perverted magazines and manga's?" she asked dully.

Shotaro's olive-green eyes shrunk in embarrassment. He chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his head.

"I knew it…" Mitsuki whispered so quietly so he would hear it.

Afterwards, they came to pass Victoria's Secret. When they did, Shotaro's eyes lit up at all the pretty girls in the store; both the real ones and those on the advertising signs.

"Hey, Mitsuki-chan! Let's go in here, please! Please?!" he begged.

Mitsuki's magenta eyes looked where he was looking. And when she did, her face turned redder than a tomato!

"A-Are you an idiot?!" she snapped, smacking him on the cheek. "No way in hell! You pervert! Nympho!"

She ran away. Shotaro's eyes shrunk and his mouth widened.

"Me? A nympho?" he wondered in a whine.

As he searched for Mitsuki, Shotaro wondered, "Why don't girls ever want me?" in a whiny tone.

"Probably because you're always such a pervert."

Shotaro jumped in response and turned around.

"Who said that?!"

He saw… Yuya! And he also saw his sister with him.

"Huh? What are you doing here?!" he snapped.

"Jeez, you don't have to get all mad at me." Yuya said, putting his hands up.

"I was talking to her." Shotaro corrected, pointing to Moa.

Moa exclaimed and got angry.

"Shut up, bro!" she snapped, turning her head away.

Shotaro disregarded this gesture and talked to Yuya instead.

"What was that about me being a pervert?!" he asked.

"Well, you might think that all girls like that stuff, but they don't. Mitsuki is very sensitive and will smack anyone who she thinks is being fresh with her." the navy-blue haired boy explained.

Shotaro sighed.

"Don't I know that…" he rubbed his cheek where Mitsuki had slapped him.

"Mitsuki smacked you?" he asked.

Shotaro gave a hesitant nod. Yuya stifled a laugh, Moa did as well. Shotaro made angry eyes at them.

"Shuddup!" he snapped, clenching his fists.

"Sorry." Yuya chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye.

"Anyway, what do you propose I do about it?" the gray-haired boy asked.

"Well, maybe you should try acting more like a gentleman." Yuya suggested.

Shotaro looked at his friend. "Well… If you think that'll work…" he said, walking off.

Yuya looked at Moa.

"Now, where did you wanna go?" he asked her.

"Just in here," she replied, pointing to Victoria's Secret.

Yuya blushed. "Oh, boy…."

Meanwhile…

Mitsuki was still running away, not looking back.

'What is his deal?!' she snapped in her head. 'Is he trying to make me feel uncomfortable?!'

"Jeez, Mitsuki!"

Hiyori was flying after her.

"This might be the only time I'll ever accept you running away from a boy." she said.

"Shut up, Hiyori! I'm only running away because he's a pervert!" she snapped.

(A/N: When it's in italics and " " then they are communicating through their minds.)

Mitsuki didn't look where she was going, and then she fell flat on her face!

"Ow…" she whimpered, pushing herself up.

"Mitsuki, are you okay?" Hiyori asked, hovering down to the hurt girl.

"I'm fine…" she insisted.

Hiyori gasped.

"What is it?" Mitsuki asked in a dull tone.

"Mitsuki! Your nose!" Hiyori exclaimed.

"What are you talking about?" Mitsuki asked the ghost girl as she touched her nose.

She gasped as she saw blood on her fingers!

"Eh?! M-My nose is bleeding!" she exclaimed in fear.

"Stay calm, Mitsuki!" Hiyori tried, "We just need help!"

She looked around for someone to help.

"Ummm… Er…" she laid her pink eyes upon Shotaro, who was rushing over to them.

"Ah! It's that Torii guy who we're staying with!" Hiyori exclaimed, pointing at him.

Mitsuki cupped her hand over her bloody nose.

"Huh? Torii-senpai?" the purple-blackette asked, looking over her shoulder.

Shotaro was running as fast as his legs could go. When he saw Mitsuki laying on the ground, he gasped and his olive green eyes shrunk slightly.

"Mitsuki-chan! Are you alright?!" he asked in worry, kneeling down beside her.

Mitsuki looked at Shotaro, her hand still covering her nose. However, Shotaro saw something red dripping from her face and became suspicious.

"Mitsuki-chan, what's wrong with your face?" he asked, pulling her hand away.

His question was answered when he saw blood dripping from the younger girl's nose.

"M-Mitsuki-chan! What happened?! Did you fall?" he asked.

Mitsuki pulled away. "I'm fine, don't worry…" she lied.

She stood up and tried to stay as far away from him as possible. Shotaro wasn't giving up that easily, though! He made his move and grabbed her arms. She gasped at this gesture!

"W-What are you doing?! Let me go, you idiot!" she cried, struggling.

Everyone turned their heads and stared at the two.

"Mitsuki-chan! Please stop; you're making a scene." the teen boy pleaded.

Mitsuki stopped and looked around at all the people who were looking at them. Her face flushed with embarrassment and she sweatdropped.

"Don't worry, Mitsuki, I'm sure you're used to this by now." Hiyori assured her.

"Shut up, Hiyori!" the purple-blackette snapped.

"Excuse me,"

Both teens looked up and saw a man in front of them.

"Is this young man bothering you?" he asked Mitsuki.

"Um… No, he's my friend and I was just a little hesitant." she answered.

The man smiled. "Oh, I see. Carry on."

He then left the two. Shotaro looked at Mitsuki.

'Friend? She considers me a friend?' he wondered.

Mitsuki looked up at him, still holding her hand over her nose.

"Hey, let's go get you a tissue." Shotaro offered, noticing it again.

Mitsuki nodded and let him lead her to the girl's bathroom.

Meanwhile…

Yuya let Moa go into Justice to get some new items, and he wanted to get a new book. It was a book about how a girl falls in love with a vampire.

(A/N: Yes, Twilight. I love that series! If you don't, then fuck you! JK! But seriously, don't hate on me.)

Yuya actually loved reading, he just hadn't been able to do it much lately. He had so many responsibilities to take care of while his parents were away. Mitsuki, school, himself, etc. Add to the fact that his sister was always acting sort of strange.

As he looked for the book, he hummed a song to himself and wasn't looking where he was going. Then, he bumped into someone!

"Oof!"

He felt something soft and springy against his chest and he blushed when he saw…

"Y-Yuki-nee?!"

It was her. Yukina Kiritani. She had dirty blonde hair, pink eyes, and big… boobs. Yukina blushed as well and pulled away from him, covering her breasts.

"S-Sorry, Yuu-kun…" she muttered, shifting her pink eyes away.

Yuya pulled himself together.

"I-It's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going, is all…" the teen male stuttered.

"Neither was I…" Yukina chuckled nervously.

"Anyway, why are you here?" she asked.

"Oh, me? I'm getting a book…" Yuya replied.

"Really? Me too." Yukina replied.

"Oh, cool. Which book?" Yuya asked.

"Twilight,"

Yuya gasped. "Me too," he said in awe.

Yukina smiled.

"Well, how about we look for it together?" she offered. Yuya nodded.

Meanwhile…

Mitsuki had went into the girls' bathroom, Hiyori following closely behind her, and got a wet paper towel. She held it to her nose while sitting on the toilet in a stall.

"Hey, Mitsuki," Hiyori asked, flying through the door of the stall, "Are you okay?"

Mitsuki looked up at the orange-haired ghost girl and nodded.

"Well, as nice as it was for Torii to do this for you, don't forget who you're supposed to be with: Yuya Onii-chan!" Hiyori declared dramatically.

Mitsuki sighed. "Whatever… I don't give a crap right now."

Hiyori looked down.

"You know, our feelings are still synchronized. And I can feel how light headed you are." she sighed.

Mitsuki sighed as well.

"Yeah," she muttered, holding her head with her other hand.

Mitsuki's nosebleed stopped soon and she was able to go back out to Shotaro. He looked at her.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Yes… Thanks for helping me…" Mitsuki muttered.

Shotaro smiled at her.

Meanwhile…

Yukina and Yuya had found the book they were looking for, and paid for each other's copies. After bidding each other farewell, Yuya ran into Moa.

"Moa-chan, did you find what you were looking for?" he asked.

Moa nodded and gestured to her shopping bags.

"Okay, now we should go back home." Yuya said.

Moa smiled and nodded.

Mitsuki had wanted to go home, even though she hadn't bought anything. Shotaro agreed as he was getting tired.

What a day!

Done! I'm definitely gonna finish this story first. It's been on here ever since I joined!

Shadow: Good, then you can finish "My Time in Hinamizawa".

Pretty much what I was gonna do anyway…

R&R!
