Ugh, sorry about the lack of updates. The plot bunnies are breeding, but for the past while I've either been up on Cloud 9 or in the Seventh Circle. And plot bunnies try to avoid heights and heat. Thanks to X-MelodiesOfTheSakuraTree-X and The Otaku You Fools for the reviews. Now, without further ado, onto today's little chapter!

Characters: Yaya, Kairi, Amu, Kukai

Genre: Humor, romance-ish stuff

Yaya didn't mean to eavesdrop on her almost-boyfriend and Amu. Honestly, she didn't. Okay, well, maybe she was a bit curious, but she didn't mean to actually hear what they were saying. After listening for about half a minute, Yaya's eyes filled with tears and she dashed away from the pair. He began to cry as she ran. Being blinded by her tears, she ran into someone and fell back onto the floor. The person she ran into dusted himself off.

"Sorry about that, I should've been looking where I was- wait, what's wrong, Yaya?"

Yaya hastily wiped her eyes on her sleeve and looked up into Kukai's concerned emerald orbs. He held out his hand and helped her up. They stood there awkwardly while Yaya controlled her sniffles. When he was finally able to speak, she told him why she was upset. Kukai frowned.

"They're planning to steal from you? That's… sort of odd. I can't imagine them doing that, Kairi especially."

"Yaya didn't think that Kairi or Amu-chi would steal from Yaya either, but Yaya heard Kairi say that he was going to!"

Yaya's apparent sincerity made Kukai believe her. He didn't think she would lie about something like this. He was starting to get angry at the new Jack and the Joker. He grabbed Yaya's hand, much to her surprise.

"Come on, we're going to go confront them about it."

Yaya looked panicked, but she didn't fight against his grip. She led him back in the direction they had come, and pointed to the closed door of the room where Kairi and Amu plotted their robbery. Kukai burst in without hesitation, Yaya trailing behind. The pair of thieves looked innocently surprised, as if they hadn't been caught planning to steal from the youngest member of the Guardians.

"Hello former Jack, Ace. Can we help you?" Kairi spoke politely and without hesitation. Yaya was shocked at his ability to act so calm.

"Kairi, I can't believe you! We come in here, and you act like you're so innocent! And you, Amu. Why would you even think of taking something from poor Yaya?"

Both of the schemers looked incredibly confused. They looked at each other, then back at Kukai and Yaya.

"Kairi was teaching me how to play chess. We weren't planning on taking anything from anyone!" Amu exclaimed.

Yaya pointed an accusing finger at Kairi.

"Kairi said he was going to take my candy!"

The other three looked at Yaya with confused expressions. Then, Kairi seemed to remember what he had said and facepalmed.

"Yuiki-san, I'd said that it was easier than taking candy from a baby, not that we were going to be taking candy from a baby."

Kukai burst out laughing and doubled over. Amu dissolved into giggles as Yaya's face turned bright pink.

"Yaya is sorry! Yaya shouldn't have been eavesdropping," the brunette hung her head and bowed apologetically. Kairi's stern expression softened into a smile.

"It's all right, Yuiki-san. Would you like to learn how to play?"

Yaya nodded energetically and took a seat, to learn to play the game.

"Oh, and Kairi? Nothing is harder than taking candy from Yaya."

That… took such a long time to write. I'm pretty disappointed with the result; it was funnier in my head. Sorry for the extremely late update, I feel super guilty. I'll be trying to update again soon. Review if you feel like it. Ciao!
