Narumi P.O.V

I woke back up and turned to my side where I was looking at my open dresser drawer. I guess my mom was putting my clothes away for me last night. I could have done it today when I woke up but there was an unexpected guest in my bed. I then turned to the other side and looked, but my guest was not occupying the space. When I first woke up, I thought I was seeing things. Then I heard water running in my bathroom; (A/N: All the Narumi's got bathrooms in their rooms) I sat up and looked at the door and hoped that it were someone else behind that door taking a shower. I wonder if I'm still sleeping…yeah that's it. Then the water was turned off, I then heard a blow dryer that was turned on and turned off after a while. I looked at my bedside again and then looked to my bathroom door. The doorknob turned and the door opened revealing the only person I'd hoped that it wasn't; but it was the one and the only puffy head.

"Good Morning Naru-Naru." She said putting the clothes she wore yesterday in her bag.

I couldn't say anything else because of the shock that Puffy Head was using my bathroom. She then turned to me and waited for me to say something.

"What are you doing in my room?" I just wanted to know that one thing; I wanted to know why she was in my room and when she got here. I hope I didn't say it in a mean way.

"Mama Naru put me in here last night." Ah, so this is my mom's fault; we are going to have a long talk about this today.

"She told me this morning that there was no more rooms for me to sleep in." Kiri shrugged. "Then she told me that I should stay in here since it's closer to the stairs." No more rooms huh? How were there no more rooms when this is a mansion? I guess my mom didn't want to put Kiri that far since all the rooms near the stairway were taken and my room is the closest to the stairway then anybody else's. I turned around not facing her; I didn't want to say anything else to her. Kazuhiko will probably be mad but seriously, how can he be mad at me when I really couldn't control my mom's actions?

"Well, I guess we have no choice then to sleep in the same room since you were forced to sleep in here." I waited for a reply when I didn't get one I got out of the bed "I guess I should start getting ready to go and eat breakfast." I said, going in the bathroom and closing the door behind me. I turned on the shower, took off my clothes, and got in. I made sure to keep my head down to let the warm water hit my hair.

I don't understand. Did I do something to anyone to be punished like this? I mean if I'm getting punished I guess this is a good way to be punished, but I have to remember Kazuhiko also likes her. I bet Kiri still doesn't know that he likes her, and when I told him that she would never go out with him when we were in high school, I felt bad about it. It's not every day that I like someone who I'm completely comfortable with. I don't get hives when I touch her for god sakes! Augh I'm so confused, I really don't know what to do. But first things first I should stop standing around and start washing; my legs are starting to hurt.

Normal P.O.V

Kiri sat on Narumi's bed waiting for him to get out of the bathroom; they still needed to talk about stuff. She wanted to know why Narumi was not coming to see her. It bothered her so much. When everybody else didn't come it didn't bother her that much, but at least they called to see how things were going.

Narumi didn't even call her...

A knock was heard at the door and Narumi's mom looked in.

"Good Morning Mama Naru." Kiri said to the woman.

"Good morning Koshiba-chan did you sleep well? I'm so sorry about putting you in Sho-chan room, like I said before Sho-chan's room is the closest room to the stairs. You looked terribly tired and hungry. So I went with my maternal instincts and put you in the closest room, which was sho-chan's room." Narumi's mom smiled at Kiri.

"I slept well thanks and it's okay, but do you have any other rooms I can sleep in?" Kiri asked looking at Narumi's mother.

"Yes we do, it's near me and my Husband's room. Did something happen last night that makes you want to leave Koshiba-chan?" Narumi's mom asked.

"No, I was comfortable when I slept, but I don't think that Naru-Naru wants me in here." Kiri said looking out of one of Narumi's big windows.

"Koshiba-chan why do you call Sho-chan, Naru-Naru?" Narumi's mom asked.

"Well first Kei called him that and it just kinda stuck with me. He calls me Puffy Head anyway." Kiri smiled at that.

"Oh really, but I never heard Kei call Sho-chan Naru-Naru I usually hear him say Narurin." She said putting her hand to her mouth hiding her smirk.

"Oh, Mama Naru…" Kiri said.

"Yes dear?" She said taking her hand away from her mouth.

"What's your real name?" Kiri asked, a little embarrassed.

"Oh no I'm so rude I never told you my name, My Name is Michiko Narumi, The (Mi) in my name means beautiful, (chi) means wisdom and intellect and the (ko) means child." Michiko said while walking to Kiri and sitting near her.

"I think it suits you very much." Kiri said looking at Michiko. Michiko smiled and Kiri returned it.

"You think I'm weird don't you? That's why you're smiling. Sho-chan says I'm weird all the time." Michiko said looking like she was about to crawl in a hole and stay there.

"No I don't." Kiri replied.

"Are you sure?" Michiko asked smiling again. "Its ok if you do."

"Yes. I'm sure." Kiri said looking at her.

Kiri smiled; she liked Narumi's mom. She was a cool person to be around; kind of like Emily. When Kiri first got here she thought that Michiko didn't like her because of how she talked and looked at her; but Kiri guessed she was wrong. She was happy about that fact too. All of a sudden, Michiko hugged Kiri. She squealed and held her tight. Kiri was a little shocked but Michiko was sweet and kind, and it was ok.

"Mama Naru, can I keep calling you Mama Naru." Kiri said putting her hand on Michiko's arm.

"Of course, but only if I can make up a nickname for you." Michiko said.

"Sure."

"Umm how about Ki-chan?" She said with a soft tone. "Now Ki-chan if there is anything at all you need to talk about and you can't reach your mother, I'm always here to listen and talk okay?" Michiko said rubbing Kiri's hair.

"Okay, can I ask a question now then?" Kiri asked closing her eyes.

"Sure, what is it?" Michiko said.

"When someone says they love you…" Kiri started.

"Aww someone said they loved you?" Michiko asked interrupting.

"Yeah…"

"Who?"

"I'd rather not say his name."

"Oh I understand, (I'll ask Sho-chan about this later) go on." Michiko said smiling

"Before I left for L.A they told me that they would polish their skills in order to come see me."

"Uh huh, did any of your friends keep in contact beside this person?"

"Yeah, everyone kept in touch besides the person who said they loved me."

"So wait, this person said they loved you, and before you left Japan this person said they would polish their skills and then they never went to see you? How mean. So what's the question then?"

"Why…does it bother me so much?"

"Do you have the same feelings for this person?"

"I…don't know."

"I think the reason why it is bothering you so much is because you do have feelings for him and you wanted to see him so much that you were angry when he didn't come to see you in L.A and he was the only one that didn't give you a, "Hi, I miss you" or "How are you? Are you doing okay?" Michiko paused. "But you have to think about how he feels about the situation too. His crush left to go to L.A and he was probably not ready to see you leave yet, but he probably still likes you."

"You think so?" Kiri looked up.

"I know so actually." Michiko smiled and giggled.

Narumi P.O.V

When I got out of the shower I heard voices. One of them sounded like my mom's and the other one sounded like puffy head's. I wondered what they were talking about. Were they talking about me? I got dressed quickly and then I brushed my teeth and dried my hair with my towel. I walked out with the towel still on my head and saw my mom hugging Puffy head, what did I miss?

"Mom what are you doing?" I asked.

"What does it look like?" My mom answered.

My mom let go of Kiri and stood up and walked to me.

"We need to talk about something later." She whispered to me and for some odd reason she was smirking at me. What was it with her and Chisami? Chisami did the same thing to me when I first got here, but my mom's smirk was like an, 'I know something' smirk and it made me shiver.

"Yeah we do." I wanted to know why she put Puffy head in my bad last night without my permission.

"I need to fix breakfast, so I'll leave you two alone now." She left the room and again we were left alone…

"Listen puffy head, whatever my mom said don't believe her because I never did that stuff." I said praying that my mom didn't tell her anything embarrassing. Puffy head then smiled and started to laugh.

"What are you laughing about Puffy head?!" I yelled. She stood up and walked to me and looked at up at me.

"She told me the most embarrassing one." She said and covered her mouth about to laugh again.

"She told you about when I dress up as a girl didn't she I told her I didn't nothing else to wear." I can't believe her; she promised me that she wouldn't tell anybody about that. Since she already knows it can't be that embarrassing right.

"No the other embarrassing one." She said in her normal tone

"Not that one."

"Yup, That one"

"She told you about the when I was younger I lost to a girl in the fourth grade and instead of losing like a man I took her doll instead." I can't believe her I looked at Kiri and her smile went down.

"You took a doll away from a girl who won in fourth grade?" She said looking at me

I shook my head yes.

"Don't worry about it, it's in the past now and we're in the present."

She said in a in a different tone that I couldn't recognize it was neither mad nor happy and doesn't sound like she's sad or weird out either. What is this tone in her voice? I looked at her and my heart started to beep against my chest. Kiri was beautiful, the way that her eyes was half opened and how her half smile and how she's blushing so lightly. Wait a minute blushing I rubbed my eyes to see if I was seeing stuff. But I wasn't seeing it…it was really there Kiri was blushing. I blushed also I bet Kazuhiko never saw this face on her before, well this probably will be my only time see this face too. I wonder why she is blushing, kiri looked at my face and I kept eye contact with her. Neither of us looked away until her stomach growled then she looked away.

"I…I…Guess we should get downstairs and get some of my mom delicious cooking, I missed that the most when I was in college." I said not looking at her but at the door

"Yeah, let's eat." She passed me and opened the door I threw my towel on the bed and followed her. It was really quiet I needed to make some sort of conversation.

"I notice your hair gotten longer." I said

"Really, don't have time to cut it." She said

"Oh, I really haven't had the time to get used to you with long hair." I said looking at her back

" Oh" She said we got to the bottom of the stairs and we heard a lot of yelling and when we got in the view, we saw food be thrown out of the dining room and landing on the wall. I want to know why food is being thrown. Can we act like are ages please kiri peeked over the wall and she pulled back before the food could hit her. Kiri looked at me

"What's going on?" I wondered

"Mama Naru and another lady are fighting." She answered

"Does the lady have long black hair and she is wearing glasses." She shook her head yes and looked at me weird

"How do you know without looking?" She asked

"This always happen when Ochiai san comes they start to argue and this happens." I said then looked over to see if it was over this was really embarrassing because they act like they are five year old all over again. I looked over and then my mom threw a piece of food and it hit me right in my face.

Michiko P.O.V:

Augh this lady gets on my last existing nerve, She squirted some more soy sauce on my light blue dress. God this was new too I just got it this week and it is already dirty.

"Listen four eyes, why do you always come here and start trouble and mess up my house god I'm surprised that my house is still standing!" I yelled at her throwing something too

"Because you big white whale you took my crush away from me when we were in high school." She said throwing something at me and me ducking out of the way.

"Why can't you let bygones be bygones?" I said throwing something else at the she witch

"I would of let bygones be bygones but you married him!" Why can't she let it go it was a long time ago and she keeps bringing it up again, god it's not like I did it to make her mad at me. If I knew this would happen I would never have went out with the guy.

This is the reason why everybody is hiding under the table, if she didn't come over here and squeezed a bottle of soy sauce on me this mess would not be happening now and think god Sho-chan and Ki-chan didn't come downstairs yet or they would have also duck and cover because there was a lot of food throwing.

"You Michiko Narumi are the bane of my existence." She said

"Ow, that hurted a little it's really not my fault that I caused your misery now is it. It's yours for not forgetting about it and MOVING ON!" I screamed and how dare she say I caused her misery it's not my fault that he asked me to marry him, what was I supposed to say 'Um no because my friend is deeply in love with you' ha yeah right you say 'no' to a ring that had a big diamond on it and see how easy it is.

"Good" This woman is getting on my nerves my right eye twitched it never does that except when this psycho comes and then while I was throwing food I saw Kiri peaked her head in when I threw a piece of food oh I hope it doesn't hit her. She pulled back in time and it hit the wall not her I would feel really bad if it did hit her.

"I wonder if you have a life?"

"I do"

"No you don't, if you did you wouldn't be here you would be living it!" I said throwing something and instead of hitting her I hit my poor defenseless Sho-chan in the face.

The woman because she doesn't deserve a name looked at my surprise face and looked to where I was looking then she smiled and she walked to him giving him a peck on the cheek.

"Thank you for saving me from that pregnant orangutan"

"Did you just call me a monkey…you…you gorilla."

"No not a monkey… a type monkey. You howler monkey."

"Spider monkey"

"baboon"

"Can you two stop calling each other types of monkeys please. We do have a guests." Sho-chan said while I was trying to wipe his face and trying to of think of another type of monkey.

"Oh, that's right we do." I said letting Sho-chan go and pulling kiri to my side and remembering the other people were also here and everybody came from under the table and stood up.

"Everybody for those who do and don't know this is Kiri Koshiba I call her Ki-chan." I said in my happy go voice

"Well hello dear my name is Manami Ochiai I'm Kazuhiko's mother and I'm really sorry for that disgusting nickname." She said with an elegant smile on her face.

"Oh really, I don't think she would of known who your son is even though you two have the SAME last name also you two both wear the SAME type of glasses I guess she wouldn't have known that you were Kazu-Kun's mother." I said emphasis on 'same' and smirking

She glared at me and looked away, how dare she wrecked my dining room and call me a monkey and don't think I won't have something sarcastic to say how dare she. She really is getting in the way of my plans.

"Mama Naru" Ki-chan called me

"Yes Ki-chan?" I looked at her

" Were you and Ochiai-san friends?" My eye twitch again and I looked at my so called 'friend'

"You can say that…" I stopped trying to come up with something to say to her. But still make me look like a good role model.

"You can also say that they are worse enemies too." Sho-chan said walking past me and getting a rag to wipe the rest of his face

"Sho-chan, it wasn't my fault." I said letting go of Ki-chan and walking to Sho-chan "Yes, Mom it was to your fault you married him." Sho-chan will never get it will he, he is supposed to always call me Mama I always have to remind him

"It's mama Sho-chan, and what do you mean by that?" I asked him

"I mean that if you didn't marry him none of this would happen." Sho-chan is using his outside voice with me and I don't like it at all. Sho-chan never used his outside voice toward me. I grabbed sho-chan by the ear and made him sit in a chair

"If I didn't marry your father you wouldn't have been born, neither would Kazu-kun" I said to sho-chan letting go of his ear "I bet she is happy how things went because she has two wonderful boys one is in college pursuing in his career and the other is president of student council. I'm happy that I have such an amazing boy and a beautiful girl. I couldn't have wish for nothing better. "I said adding it off with a little tear. I open one eye and it seem that I fooled everyone and that woman too. I guess this gives me more time for my plans to take off. I wiped my eyes and looked around the dining room and sighed

"I guess we really can't eat here, why don't we go out to eat for breakfast huh." I smiled and left to go upstairs and wash up.

Normal P.O.V

While Michiko was taking a shower and Ochiai mom went home to clean herself up too everybody else was still downstairs cleaning the dining room.

"I'm sorry Koshiba-san for my mother rude behavior." Ochiai said to kiri while she was cleaning the table.

"It's okay it was also Mama-Naru fault as well." Kiri said in her usual tone.

"Oh really…" Ochiai stopped in the middle of his sentence and looked at Narumi who was beside Kei cleaning the walls. Ochiai walked to them and started to work with them.

"Hello, Narumi we never had a conversation ever since you came here." Ochiai said

"Why should we?…we see each other at the college and we also share the same room." Narumi said

"I just want to know why did you come with Koshiba-san." Ochiai said to narumi

"Yeah I want to know why Narurin came with Kiri-chan too." Kei piped in

"I told you she was on the porch talking to Chisami and then she left and we talked a little bit and we both came thru that door and walked to the living room and you guys assumed that we drove together, but we didn't she has her own car in the parking lot if you don't believe me go look." Narumi said rubbing the wall with bleach.

"So Kiri-chan was on the porch and she walked in the house with Narurin and then Occhi saw you two which made everybody look at you, also she was tired later that night after Narurin ran upstairs and Mama-Naru took Kiri upstairs and went to sleep and then Mama Naru came back down after that and she went to bed as well, when we was looking for a room to sleep in Kiri wasn't in any of the rooms with a door open. Mama-Naru always close a door when someone is in it and or using it, but all the rooms doors were open, but the only room was closed was Narurin." Kei said popping a lollipop in his mouth.

Narumi and Ochiai were looking at Kei.

'I really think he is playing stupid, because who notices things like that. Wait if all the doors were open and none of them withheld Koshiba-san and Narumi's door was closed.' You slept with Koshiba-san" Ochiai said

Narumi was blushing madly and everybody was now looking at Narumi and his mom came downstairs by that time.

"Can you reword it please, you make it sound so dirty, and yeah we slept in the same room but all we did was sleep nothing else." Narumi said his blush became a light pink now.

"Then why was she in your room." Ochiai said

"Mama Naru put me in it and I will be staying in that room because there are no closer rooms." Kiri said looking at the table

"Oh, really." Ochiai said nothing else and started to clean again

The dining room was quiet until one certain person ruin it

Michiko POV:

I walked in the dining room after I took my shower and what I saw got me to the heart. Minami wasn't here but that wasn't it, it was how everybody was cleaning it and I stood there waiting till everybody was done because I always have to clean the mess that Nami makes and it takes sooooooo long. I saw Kazu-kun and Sho-chan and Kei-kun talking and then Kazu-kun yelled out that dirty line and my baby was blushing and he yelled back at Kazu-kun. After that Kiri said something and everyone went quiet.

"Kiri-chan you don't like where you're sleeping?" I asked looking at kiri

"I not picky Mama-Naru." Kiri said

"Oh, okay so where do you want to go out to eat Ki-chan? I'll give you the choice since you're the only one of sho-chan's friends that I haven't meant." I asked her holding her shoulders.

"Umm, I want to go to Denny's if it is okay."

"Okay, any objection." I said and that's when Nami came in and looked like she was about to win a model pageant and she looked at me and smirked. Why does she think this her house, like she can come here anytime she wants and no one will care.

"I don't care were we eat as long as Michiko is not cooking." Nami walked to sit down in a clean chair

"Fine, I guess you'll be eating outside then and we'll whistle to you to tell you we are ready and we put a piece of meat on the side of the car and drive. That also leaves enough money to pay for everyone but that only leaves who is going to drive with who." I said looking at puzzle faces, they looked at me like I said something wrong

"Mom, why do we have to have someone with us while driving to Denny's huh?" Sho-chan asked me

"It's mama sho-chan and because that will be to many cars." I sai

"But…" Sho-chan stopped in the middle of his sentence and looked at me

"Sho-chan we are driving with someone if you like it or not." I said in a stern voice

"Okay, so we are going to play a game to see who we are going to drive with." I said sounding happy again I also pulled out six strips of white paper that held a shape and another one that held a shape and a number.

"So wait we can't pick who we want to drive with?" Sho-chan asked

"Nope." I smiled at him and started to give out the paper

There is a heart, star, triangle, circle, square, and a pentagon on one of the strip of paper and 1-heart and 2-star 3-triangle and a 4-circle and a 5-square also a 6- pentagon an folded the paper up and held them out to everybody to take and they opened there paper and went to the person who had the shape and number.

I didn't really think about the outcomes but it went well.

Ki-chan and Sho-chan was driving together

Kana-chan and Ken-Kun was driving together

Kazu-kun and Kei-kun was driving together (again)

Chisa-chan and Iori was driving together

Minami and Naoki was driving together (her youngest son can't drive yet)

My husband and me had the last one. (Phew if Manami would of pick the same shape me or my husband I wouldn't know what I would do)

"So are we ready to go." I said walking out of the door and while everybody went to their car and drove off. I smiled to myself I guess my plan is going accordingly.

Narumi P.O.V

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE IS IN MY CAR!! I screamed in my head puffy head was wearing perfume. I can smell it she didn't have to much that I be suffocating in it but she didn't have to little that I can't smell it, she had it just right, she smelled good. I need to pay attention to the road and not Kiri, I'm asking for an accident to happen.

"Naru-Naru." She looked at me

"What?" I asked

"Do you still like me?" Did she have to bring it up I hope that she forgot about what we discussed about last night.

"Can we…." I stop when she looked at me

"No, later is right now." She said

"What do you want me to say?" I asked her

"I want to know if you were lying to me" I took a peek at her, she looked like her normal self. But she looked a little on the mad side

"Who said that I was lying because Shogo Narumi doesn't lie." I said back to her in a spiteful tone

"Why didn't you come see me then?" I looked away not wanting to say anything and ending the conversation.

"Answer me Narumi." She said in a stern voice.

"What do you want me to say huh?" I yelled back at her.

"Anything." In her nonchalant way.

"Anything huh, you want me to say how I thought about you everyday and I wondered if your doing okay or not, or how I'm trying to keep my friendship together with one of my friends and how about I say because of you this friendship is going to be over, huh what else do you what me to say Kiri huh tell me huh do you want me to say I still love you but since you live in America and I live in Japan I won't be able to see that much of you." I screamed I didn't want to look at her at all.

"What you don't think it's hard for me?" She said I looked at her and she was looking out of the window and I guess she didn't want to talk to me either. I hated this kind of silence I reached and turned on the radio to make some kind of noise in the car. It didn't take long for us to get to Denny's we park on the right side Kazuhiko and Kei and on the left were Seki and Kanako. All of us got out of the car and looked for the others and we waited.

"Narumi listen…" Kazuhiko said I turned the other way not wanting to talk to him either

"Narumi." He called again, he kept on calling my name like I was going to answer him if he didn't like Puffy Head this would take some of the load off of my shoulders, but he is not going to give up and neither am I. I saw my mom approach us and her face had such a concern look on it, none of us said anything and all of us walked in the restaurant.

Normal P.O.V

When all of them got in the restaurant people started to stare.

"Hi welcome to Denny's how can I help you?" A host said talking to the group Michiko walked to her and put her

arm on the podium.

"Yes you can…can I have a table for…." Michiko started to count to see how many people were there "13 people please." Michiko said

"Sure it will be a 15 min wait is that okay." The host said

"Yes that's alright." Michiko said and pointing to the seats.

Everybody sat down on the seats and waited for their table.

"What's wrong with you guys, all of you look like somebody died?" Michiko said looking at the teens. No one said anything and Michiko looked at them.

"Don't all speak at the same time." Michiko said looking between the teens.

Narumi P.O.V

Why did I yell at her, I'm really stupid aren't I? I looked at everyone and saw everybody longs faces. I sighed and the sighed again. I should leave, all of this crap is my fault, and if I didn't come this probably won't be happening. I put my head in my hands and sighed again, then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up seeing my mom concern face.

"What's wrong Sho-chan." My mom asked

I put my head back in my hands and shook my head.

"Let's talk outside, come on." My mom said pulling me outside.

We went outside and sat on a bench. I looked at her and she put her hand on my back rubbing it.

"Mom, I can't take it anymore…I need to…to leave." I said not wanting to see the hurt on her face.

"You want to leave…why honey you just got here yesterday. What happen today that makes you want to leave Sho-chan you can't then I won't be able to see you until next break." My mom said

"Everything is wrong…" I said running my hand through my head.

"Like what?" My mom said holding my hand

"Kazuhiko also likes Kiri…I don't want me and Ochiai to become like you and Ochiai-san, how hurt she felt and how your friendship went down the drain. I don't want that to happen to us." I said feeling my mom hands on mine

"You and Kazu-kun will never be like me and Nami." She said

"How things are going yes it is." I said looking up at the sky.

"No, okay listen I tried my hardest to not fall in love with your father because he was Nami's first crush, I tried but your father liked me and he will buy me things I couldn't get take me places I couldn't go to. After that me and Nami's relationship dwindled from there. How can you still love the person who chose you when he was supposed to choose your friend. When I first started school no one wanted to talk to me the only person who talked to me was Nami, she was my first friend ever." My mom said trying not to cry.

"Mom, I can't get her off my mind I hate how she was the only girl that could touch me and I don't break out into hives." I said

"Listen Sho-chan, even though you and Kazu-kun both like Ki-chan it's Ki-chan decision who she wants to be with, to love and to hold. It's Ki-chan decision." My mom said she kissed my head and stood up.

"Now I'm going to have Ki-chan come talk to you and you apologize to her okay." My mom said walking away into Denny's.

Then I looked through the window to see my mom talking to Puffy Head. Puffy head looked up at her and then got up walking to the doors. She looked at me and I looked back at her. I knew something bad will happen that or I'll say something that will make her upset. There was a pregnant silence that seemed to last for a long time.

"Naru-Naru Mama-Naru said you wanted to say something to me." She said in nonchalant tone.

"Yeah, I'm sorry okay." I said

Puffy head sat near me and I kept my head down.

"Do you still love me?" Why can't she let go of this, I guess I should answer her question.

"Do you like me?" I asked she is the person who always asks; I want an answer too.

"Answer mine first." She said looking at me.

"Okay, Yes…very much…you?" I blushed I hi my red face from her.

"Yes." I looked back at her and smiled.

"Naru-Naru." She said

"What?"

"Talk to Ochiai." She said

"Your right…wait a second you know he likes you right." I said feeling bad again

"Yes." I looked at her

"I guess Ochiai confessed to you?" I said

"No, I over heard you to talking about it before on the school roof he said 'I like Koshiba-san that's why I'm not going to give her up to just anybody.' I was almost going to sleep when I heard him say that. I was half sleep half awake." Oh so she heard what he said.

"Yeah I'll talk to him." I said getting up and walking to door. I opened it and looked at Kiri, she got up and walked thru the door and I followed after her. When we got in we stood because there was no room on the cushion chair. Then a waitress came and showed us to are seats and we sat down. Something didn't feel right because there was a lot of tension surrounding the table, which we were occupying. Maybe it's are sitting arrangements because Ochiai-san was sitting on the right side of my father and my mom sat on the left and I was sitting on the left side of Kiri when Kazuhiko was sitting on the right. Yeah I don't see this ending pretty good.

"Michiko honey we're at a restaurant so we can't throw food here." My father said

"Well tell Nami she has to move." My mom said to my dad

"Souichiru dear tell that blond idiot that I don't want to move." Ochiai mom's said

"Well of course she can't move because the seat so small that her butt is stuck. Oh and tell her she should lay off the TV and junk food and Exercise some times." Mt mom said smirking.

"Well tell you wife that she should look up stupid in a dictionary… oh wait let me tell you what a dictionary looks like, a dictionary has no pictures and have more than five pages in it." Ochiai-san smirking

"I'm sorry since my brain is small and all…" My mom chuckled and stop " Stupid question but is that four eyes walrus saying I'm not smart." My mom said.

Ochiai-san grabbed for the ketchup bottle and my mom grabbed her drink.

"Wait! Listen Ochiai-san you don't want to do that." I said standing up

"Yes I do." Ochiai said with some venom in her voice

"I wish you would." My mom said in the same tone as Ochiai-san

"Can we please act like we have some class?" I said in a low voice.

"Sho-chan your right we shouldn't do this here." She said in her mom tone.

So we sat back down and Kazuhiko had the audacity to glare at me. I looked down at y plate I didn't want to look at him or even talk to him but I have to. I need to make this right between us. Our food came and we ate and went back home. We went in the house and we sat in the diner room.

"Kazuhiko we need to talk." I said to him getting up

"Okay talk." He said

"No, not here in the family room." I said walking out of the diner room and Kazuhiko following me we walked to the family room and notice Kei behind us. We sat on the couch and no one said anything.

"Narumi, Why should we talk we see each other at the dorms and share the same room." Ochiai said repeating what I said earlier.

"I deserve that." I said running my hand thru my hair

"Yes you do, when we in the parking lot and I tried to talk to you…you just turned your head and didn't reply." Kazuhiko said getting up I stood up and blocked his exit.

"I want you to hear what I have to a say okay." I said looking directly into his eyes.

"Fine say what you have to say so I can leave." He said turning around and sitting back on the couch, now I know why Kei was here.

"I love her so much and I know you do too but I need her I want her in my life. Kiri was the first girl I fell for. Only kiri could touch me and I wouldn't brake out in hives, that got to means something. Kazuhiko we been friends for a long time we are like brothers. Its like how my mom and your mom was before my dad came into the picture I don't want us to be like are moms I don't want that future. Even though you'll hate me for this I'll still love you like you're a brother I never had. Please Kazuhiko this is the only thing that is keeping me away from her. Please let me love her." I said lowering my head down to him to show him how serious I'm am.

"(Sigh) Good that you actually notice I knew you needed a little push. I can't believe you'll still be my friend even when I hate you. I guess I do give up." Kazuhiko said and getting up and leaving. I smiled to myself from this day on nothing or nobody will get in my way.
