AN: I AM A LOW-KOW-MOW-TIVE! WOOOOT WOOOT! HAHAHAHAA! CHUGA-CHUGA-CHUGA-CHUGA! WOOOOOT WOOOT!

Sorry, I just had a huge bowl of lucky charms... teehee?

ANYWAY, I know this one's short but I couldn't make it long enough... oh, well!


Chapter 20: *Dreamy Sigh* Ah, Young Love!

"Alright, I'm gonna go take this to Kid..." Ginger says, turning around and heading towards the substitute Death Room.

"No! Wait! Can, umm, can I take it to him?" I ask her, stretching my hand out. She turns around. "Huh? Oh, umm, yeah I guess..." She says, tossing me the device with the souls in it. I catch it and smile. Yes! I get to see Kid again!

"See ya later, guys!" I say, running down the hallway. I open the door to the Death Room and poke my head in. "Kid? You here?" I say, even though he's standing right where he usually does. He turns around.

"Oh, hello, Tommi. Back already?" He says, removing his mask. I nod and smile. "Yup! We got everything!" I tell him, holding up the drive. He extends his hand and I walk up to him and drop the device in it. He turns it over it his palm and clutches it in his fingers.

"Great. I'm glad to see this was a success. It was hard to decode whether I should send students outside to go retrieve kishin souls, but I had to because they've been out of control." He says.

"Yeah. Anything about your dad yet?" I ask him. He shakes his head. "No. Nothing yet." He says. I look down.

"Oh. I'm really sorry, Kid..." I say. He walks closer to me and places one hand on my back. "No, you didn't do anything. You have no reason to be sorry." He says, tilting my chin up. He smiles. I smile back.

"Yeah, I know, it's just..." I trail off.

"Come on, cheer up. Wasn't it just yesterday that you were trying to get me to smile?" He says, his golden eyes meeting mine. They shimmer slightly in the dim lighting of the room. I can't help but blush.

"I mean, it has to be really tough. I just want you to know that I'm here for you, okay?" I tell him, attempting to take back my role as the strong character in our friendship. He's starting to act a little strange whenever I'm around. A good strange, though, like he's happy I'm here with him.

He leans in and his lips touch my cheek softly. My eyes widen as he draws his head back. "Yes, I know." He says. I can't look away from him. "Kid..." I say, sounding like a dependent, weak character from a cheesy lovey-dovey movie. But, of course with my small vocabulary, it's the only thing I can think to say that wouldn't sound completely stupid. Actually, that sounded pretty dumb now that I think about it...

"I, umm, I should get going..." I say, stepping back. This is not happening, this is so not happening!

"Oh, alright then. Goodbye," He says, releasing me. I nod, blush even more, and speed-walk out the door, the only thing running through my mind being;

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

AN: AAAAAAAND, I have managed to make yet another couple. Meaning that no female OC of mine that has a big role to play in this story is single. Geez, what is my problem? I just can't keep myself from pairing people together, can I?

Anyway, who's your guy's favorite couple in my story? Do you like the complicated relationship between Soul and Ginger? Or maybe Melody and James, who were totally meant for each other? Howabout the emo love Alex and Mem share? Or are you a fan of Tommi and Kid, who's relationship has yet to be confirmed? Take your pick!

Byee for now!
