BP: I finally got a Permanent Microsoft Word in my computer. Now I can continue with my stories. Do enjoy this chapter, and please review after reading it.

Ryoma was discussing Math homework with Feitan after school at their locker while waiting for their friends, when he saw Pakunoda approach them from over Feitan's shoulder. Their classmate Keisuke stopped her in the hallway and handed her a few sheets of orange paper. She then continued on her way.

"Hello, Pakunoda." Feitan said when Pakunoda reached them.

"Hi Feitan. How are you, Ryoma?"

"Good. You?"

"Fine too." Pakunoda replied. "I'm supposed to give both of you one of these."

She handed each of them the orange sheets Keisuke just handed them. It's a party invitation for this upcoming Saturday night at his house.

"We're invited?" Feitan asked.

Pakunoda nodded. "All three of us are."

"Do you want to go?" Ryoma asked.

"Maybe we could give it a shot."

"You interested, Feitan?"

Feitan was staring past Ryoma and Pakunoda. Ryoma turned to see what he is looking at, or rather who. At the locker across the hall is Shizuka, the person Feitan has been pining for ever since she went out with Atobe. Ryoma can't blame him. She's shockingly beautiful with straight red hair past her shoulders, ivory skin, high cheekbones, and soft chocolate brown eyes. It didn't hurt that she is very intelligent. Ryoma knew Feitan thinks she's perfection, and who is he to judge? Shizuka, who is actually from America, is working her way through High School through the tips she earns at the bookstore. Yet, she still manages to keep her hair perfect.

Shizuka smiled and went up to them. "Hey, do you know the four people got the invitation to the party too?" They didn't have to be a genius to figure out who she is referring to.

"Guys! Bad news! Fuji told the English teacher about our messages!" Shalnark whispered as he and Ringo came to join the group. "But since I've blocked the connection, they can't trace it back to us."

"I see…." Ryoma's expression darkened. He sent out a message to Fuji.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the naughtiest of them all? You told. So you're next. –R

Fuji doesn't know what they are going to do to him. His hands are actually sweating. Oh well, what can they do that is bad anyway?

Oh, how wrong he was. Things just got worse. Very, very worse.

Fuji didn't know how he could land in the hospital merely 3 hours after he received the message. Was it just a coincidence that he slipped on the banana skin, fell down the staircase, and broke his arm?

His lovers of course visited him. It was all the usual stuff: promises of giving homework, keeping up with the latest news and gossip, and other small talk like the recent class events and incidents. Fuji listened intently as Sanada told the story of a Chinese boy from one of the second year class last year has been absent periodically, and has been in some kind of trouble these past few weeks. Apparently, someone's friend's bike got stolen by that guy in school and the principal is really protective of the guy's identity. The guy isn't even repentant, as quoted in the statement, "I stole it because my parents won't give me one. Do you know that I am poor?" The principal wouldn't put theft in the guy's records, she won't ask him to give the bike back, and she won't ask him to give compensation. The principal even blamed the said friend for cycling to school on a fancy bike. All she wanted is to suspend the person for 2-3 days (holiday) and counselling (which means milk and cookies).

More news followed as the same guy dropped out of school this year because he asked his mom for a new PC, and apparently his mom can't afford a new PC, so he dropped out because "I will drop out if you don't buy me a new PC!"

He was arrested three days ago by the police, and he had this message

Like Father, like son. Can you run from the law on those legs?

Although they have no proof, they were certain this message is from the "R" person. Whoever he/she is, he is not only targeting them, though they seemed to be the main targets. Fuji said his English teacher will look into it, after Fuji broke down when he received the following three days ago:

Don't you think your lovers should know about that extra credit work you did with a certain English teacher? Real relationships are built on truth, after all. –R

Of course, he did not tell his lovers, lest they put two and two together, and he probably will get left out, like what happened with Ryoma.

When they left, Fuji thought, 'Ah well. At least I am safe in here.'

How wrong he was.

"I am not going to let them off, of course." Ryoma said thickly through his mouthful of popcorn. They were bored and had finished their homework, so they made a huge vat of popcorn smothered in butter and climbed into Ringo's giant canopy bed and watched all the James Bond movies in a row. They were able to definitely determine that Pierce Brosnan was the skinniest James Bond, Sean Connery the hairiest, and Roger Moore the most tan.

Just then, Shalnark spoke up. "I found out where Fuji is staying currently. What do you think, Ryoma?"

Ryoma thought for a moment, before he said, "I think I want to defeat them in a more unreasonable way, After all, they left me out unreasonably, so I think we should do the same to them."

Ringo nodded. "But what are you going to do to scare them out of their wits and keep them in place?"

Ryoma smiled devilishly. "You'll see…"

Shalnark grinned when Ryoma told them his plan, and even volunteered to help him out with it.

Shalnark's thoughts raced as he crept quietly through the corridor in order not to disturb the other patients. He knew that Fuji will fall asleep at this time, thanks to Ryoma. The only thing that he could think about right now is that he signed up for this. Sure, he is the best at stealth and he had been training for this so the odds are more in his favor. But, he knew he had to consider the possibility of being discovered when he is executing the plan. He sighed. He doesn't know what he was even thinking, immediately volunteering as he thought it was such a good idea.

Shalnark found Fuji's room, opened the door quietly, and crept in. Heart pounding furiously, he took out Ringo's favorite Hot Pink Marker and scribbled some words on Fuji's cast. He didn't even stir as Shalnark wrote the words. Shalnark signed it off with the trademark letter, and rushed out of the ward, sniggering as he imagined the look on Fuji's face. He succeeded!

SORRY ABOUT LOSING MY TEMPER

MY BAD

LOVE, -R

BP: I know, but I had writer's block and stuff, so yeah. Do review though!
