CHAPTER 13: Yaya and Kairi

RIMA'S POV

This is not good! This is not good at all! I, Mashiro Rima am currently late for my first date ever. You see I was supposed to meet Kairi at the mall at 12 o clock. It is currently 11:45 and I am not dressed my hair is crazy and I just woke up to find my roommate whom said she set the fricking alarm last night passed out on her desk chair.

"Amu!" I shouted as I flung my pillow at her head.

"IKUTO YOU CAME BACK!" Amu shouted and sprung out from her chair.

"You have to stop talking in your sleep Amu, it's creepy."

"I wasn't talking in my sleep Rima; hey….it's like 10 minutes to twelve did you miss the alarm?"

"Did I miss the- DID YOU ACTUALLY JUST SAY THAT!" I screamed at her.

"Uh….yes?" Amu hesitatingly replied.

"I did not miss the frigging alarm! Someone forgot to set it!"

"I thought I did."

"NO YOU DIDN'T! YOU'RE THAT SOMEONE!"

"No seriously Rima, I did."

"Noooooo you didn't,"

"I did,"

"SHUT UP! I AM LATE FOR MY DATE YOU MUST NOW HELP ME TO GET READY!" I wailed at her.

"Fine," She sighed, "But I set the alarm for 12,"

"Whatever," I said as I grabbed my towel and left the room to go bathe.

O.O.O.O

"There, are you satisfied?" Amu asked me as I stood in front of the mirror, Amu was standing to the left of me with a clothes hanger in her hands, and Ami was standing to the right of me with a flat iron and a hair brush in her hands.

"Yes, yes I am. You are now off the hook for the alarm thing, however I am LATE!" I shouted annoyed.

Ami burst out laughing. Amu and I turned to the weird twelve year old child and raised an eyebrow.

"You mean you didn't know you were supposed to be late?" Ami giggled. We both glared at her and shook our heads. She only laughed even more, "O.M.G you guys are hilarious! You're totally supposed to show up at least 20 minutes late!"

"What? Why!" I asked annoyed.

"So you can say 'sorry I am late. Did you wait long?' and then he can say 'No I just got here' DUH!"

"WHAT! That made no sense," I growled.

"Well actually…." Amu sighed, "When I went on my date with Tadase I was late and he…"

"You went on a date with Tadase? No one tells me anything! GOSH!"

"Anyway, Ami how did you know that?" Amu asked her sister changing the subject blush taking over her face.

"It's basic physics, really,"

"No It isn't. Seriously, it isn't." I hissed.

"Oh really and this is your what second date?" Ami scoffed.

"FIRST! But that doesn't mean your some kind of expert!" I hissed.

"Whatever Rima, just take one last look at yourself before you're too late,"

So I looked at myself in the mirror. I was wearing my black and white plaid mini skirt, my black tank top and a pair of black heels. My hair was tied up in a side ponytail and was temporarily straightened by Ami. I didn't look all that good, but I certainly looked a little better than usual.

I thanked the girl, grabbed my purse, and left to go on my date.

O.O.O.O

Okay. There it is….the mall. Okay Rima, you can do this. Here I come….right now…..

I inhaled and entered the mall right away I spotted Kairi. You want to know why? Because he was the hottest thing I have ever seen! Maybe even a little hotter than Nagihiko!

"Kairi," I said as I approached him. He blushed. I swear I might've drooled just then. He was wearing a tight fitting black shirt with a pair of black skinny jeans and his glasses were off. Hehehe…..gorgeous.

"Mashiro," He said with a smile.

I can't believe I am going to do this…..

"Sorry I am late. Did you wait long?" I asked with a heaving sigh.

"U-UH NO! I just got here! You aren't late!"

Oh my god. It worked. In a Kairi sort of way….

"Oh good," I said with a smile, "So let's go….shall we?"

So we went off to some café for lunch. I love cafes you know. This might be considerably fun.

O.O.O.O

CURRENT LOCATION: SHOPPING MALL

ENJOYING ICE CREAM

YAYA'S POV

That ice cream had a reasonable amount of sprinkles! I hate it when they just drizzle it over the top! It's like they're just for decoration! YAYA HATES THAT! Well what do I do now?

O.O Hmm…arcade. DDR hehehe.

So yaya marched into the mall's arcade in search of a DDR machine. Hopefully that will take her mind off of Class President Kairi-kun. Whom she likes for reasons she cannot understand. She never knew that liking someone could hurt you sooo much with just a simple thing. Sigh…..

O.O.O.O

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 12:50 HOURS

CURRENT LOCATION: SHOPPING MALL, CAFÉ

SIPPING FLUFFY TEA

RIMA'S POV

"Soo, Kairi, are you going to tell me who this girl is?" I asked my incredibly hot date. His whole face turned red as he sipped his tea. He put his mug down and stared at me, his eyes looking vacant yet his face looking embarrassed.

Seriously, Kairi, you're giving Ikuto competition here.

"Well," Kairi mumbled looking down he chuckled a little, "Promise not to think of me differently?"

"I can't change my judgment on people because of who they like," I laughed a little.

"W-Well the person who I l-like is…." He looked down a little, "Yuiki-san,"

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! I NEED TO TEXT AMU LIKE RIGHT NOW! SOMEONE NEEDS TO KNOW! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

"Mashiro san?" Kairi asked trying to get my attention.

"Huh? What? Oh yeah! So you like Yaya?" I asked suddenly.

"Y-Yes…."

"Well, I admit I do see you differently now," I mumbled, I looked around the café, "Hmm, well this date is getting dull, especially if we are practicing for Yaya."

"What should we do now?" Kairi gasped loudly.

"Kairi calm down, it's okay we can go take pictures in the photo booth, then we can go to the arcade, Yaya loves the arcade!" I assured him with a smile, "Oh, but first…I got to go to the bathroom….."

"Sure," He said excitedly. I practically sprinted to the restroom

Let's see phone…..phone….ah! There it is!

O.O.O.O

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 13:15 HOURS

CURRENT LOCATION: SHOPPING MALL,ARCADE

WAITING IN THE FLIPPING LINE FOR THE DDR GAME

YAYA'S POV

This sucks how long does a girl have to wait for a DDR game! Finally the girl in front of me finished and Yaya got her turn, I happily scrolled through the songs and found one that excited me, DANCING ALONE- SMILE DK. This fits me perfectly I thought.

I pressed the button and stood on the panels. Here I go!

O.O.O.O

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 13:10 HOURS

CURRENT LOCATION: SHOPPING MALL,PHOTO BOOTH

TAKING THE GAYEST PICTURES POSSIBLE WITH KAIRI

RIMA'S POV

"Okay Kairi," I said cracking up at his facial expression, "Try a normal one,"

"But that was normal,"

"OMG are you fricking serious!" I laughed even more until my face turned red. Then I saw a flash, "OH MY GOSH!"

"I was not serious," Kairi said laughing, "That was far from normal,"

"You idiot!" I laughed again, "You ruined my picture!"

"I believe there is one more," Kairi stated.

"Okay let's pose like….hmm…..oh I know! I'll be Utau, you can pretend to be Kukai!" I joked. He nodded excitedly. Then we posed. I puckered my lips and pushed out my chest while playing with a lock of my hair. Kairi crossed one arm and used his other by pressing his thumb and his index finger right under his chin making the vainest face possible.

He laughed. That was the first time I heard Kairi laugh so much! It made me feel relieved somehow. We ran out and saw our pictures and laughed even more.

The first one I looked really oblivious and confused (my Saaya face) and he was smiling brightly with his hands clasped (his Tadase face),

The second one we both made funny faces.

The third one I looked like some kind of pirate and he just looked constipated.

The fourth one I was red with laughter and he was smiling at me.

Then the last one was our Utau and Kukai. Which I thought was the best one. We looked like two completely different people.

"That was fun," He said with a smile his face still a little red. I nodded happily.

"I don't think I ever laughed so much since clown school!"

"Clown school?"

"You did not hear that! Anyways….let's go to the arcade now!" I said happily dragging him along with me.

O.O.O.O

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 13:20 HOURS

CURRENT LOCATION: SHOPPING MALL,ARCADE

DANCING ALL ALONE

YAYA'S POV

I danced to the song happily not missing a step.

No more ringing on my phone

No goodbye and not a sound or letter

Maybe you don't love me anymore

Foolish me thinking we would last forever

* Dancing all alone singing dam di do

Listening to the music from the radio

Dancing all alone singing dam di do

Pretending I'm together with my Romeo

** Oh oh i oh i oh i oh, i oh

When I feel lonely I sing dam di do

Oh oh i oh i oh i oh, i oh

When I feel lonely I sing dam di do

No more flowers at my door

No more dinners in the magic moonlight

The wind blows colder than before

Foolish me dreaming that

you're holding me tight

Once I finished with a giant sigh I heard clapping suddenly, I looked off to the far side of the arcade. There they were….Rima-chi and Kairi!

Rima waved smiling brightly at me, and Kairi….he was still clapping. For me. I stepped off the machine and approached them happily.

"Rima-chi! Class president!" I squealed.

"Yaya!" Rima-chi squealed as she embraced me, "What's up?"

"Oh….nothing," I said blushing, "What about….what….about….you…..t-two?"

"Oh nothing just being a deranged sheep, and he's just being a good-looking version of the normal Kairi,"

Oh ship.

"Rima-chi I am so-"

"Ah, it's okay," She said laughing, "You must've been drunk or something,"

"Uh…..Well…." I stammered.

"Yuiki-san you were very cool," Kairi complimented.

"R-Really….well I love the arcade really," I blushed, "Ah-What about K-Kairi-kun! Do you like games?"

"Me…I'm afraid I have never really tried," He replied slightly embarrassed.

"Well there are a few games here you should try….over there you and Rima-chi can try the two player space command game!" I squealed.

"That sounds nice, right Mashiro?"

"W-Well…" Rima-chi sighed.

"Oh if you don't like It the ball pit is always fun," I said with a wink.

"Really?" Kairi asked interested.

"Oh yes! But what's really fun is that wack-a-mole! Two player is the best….maybe you and Rima-chi can….."

"Oh it looks cool," He said as he gazed at a young couple enjoying it.

"It is! It is! It's one of my favorites! Though….i often play by myself…..so you're lucky to have Rima-chi so you can…."

"Yuiki what's that?" He asked pointing to the race car game.

"That is crash motor cross 9.77777!" I squealed, "I played two players once! It was like you were really there! But….Amu-chan was easy to beat so…."

"And that!" Kairi asked me again as he pointed to bombit 2.

"That my friend is bombit 2. I have never really played it with a friend but I hear it's awesome! Everyone laughs and even crys when they play!" Yaya squealed.

"Tell me how to play!" He asked me suddenly. He turned to me his face red and his eyes unsteady yet hopeful. Crap yaya can't handle all that hotness.

"S-SSSSS-S-S-S-S-SUREEE!" I gasped as I began explaining to him how to play.

I was so occupied with explaining things I did not notice when Rima-chi disappeared. Nor did Yaya care. Because then me and Kairi played bombit all day long!

O.O.O.O

SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 13:32HOURS

CURRENT LOCATION: SHOPPING MALL, FOUNTAIN BENCH.

SITTING ALONE

RIMA'S POV

You did a good thing today Rima. You helped a really hot nerd and an energetic psychopath with pig tails come together in a mall arcade.

My life gets weirder each and every day I tell ya.

Suddenly I saw it, a flash of long purple hair. Naturally I sprung up from my chair and looked around, and then I saw him! It was Nagihiko walking a little solemnly towards the exit!

"Nagihiko?" I said a little loudly hoping that he heard me. He turned around and blushed the moment he saw me. Strange…..what is he up to?

"Oushi!" He said suddenly and I could tell he was surprised.

"Hey," I frowned, "That is not my name, what are you up to you seem a bit sketchy."

"I….." He trailed off, suddenly he walked towards me and sat down on the bench, "What's up?"

"….." I looked at him suspiciously for a while then gave in and sat next to him, "Nothing just…..chilling by myself,"

"Oh….w-weren't you supposed to have your date t-today?" He asked me looking away.

"yeah, I had it already…..but it didn't actually end, so I don't know if it counts as a date…" I mused.

"Oh why is that?" He asked a little calmer.

"Kairi met up with Yaya and they had a nice vibe going on so….I didn't want to ruin it,"

"Nice vibe?"

"Well they do like each other," I replied somewhat nonchalant.

"Kairi likes Yaya?" Nagihiko almost gasped.

"Yeah I know strange right? They're so different," I sighed.

"but I thought…." Nagihiko grumbled barely coherent.

"Thought what?" I asked very curious.

"N-NOTHING! So d-did you and Kairi have a…. 'nice vibe'?" He asked me.

Oh crap, I am blushing aren't I? Oh no….I must look like Amu.

Not possible.

"Well he likes Yaya so…." I began looking down awkwardly.

"O-OH, okay…I mean I thought that you guys had a pretty goo-"

"What?" I asked confused. Did he see us? Is that why he is acting so strange.

"Um….good compatibility I mean you're a what…..Gemini and he is a…..?"

"I don't think I am a Gemini….then again I never checked….so you think we are compatible?"

"NO!"

"You're strange," I mumbled, "What's wrong with you Nag-evil, is it that time of month?"

"No, I just…..um…Do you want to do something?"

"Uh….O-Ok….but I was kind of looking forward to coming home," I replied nervously. Did he mean a date? If so, I am not ready I can look much better. With my curly hair thank you very much (Ami straightened it without me noticing….don't ask….).

"Oh well I could walk you there….." He trailed off.

He wants to spend time with me…..hehe. I suddenly feel the urge to jump up and down.

"You can come over for a visit if you like," I suggested.

"Oh I couldn't intrude like that…."

"It's okay Amu's parents are gone so we are the head of the house! Even though her little sister seems to be fit for the job," I joked, "So come!"

"Uh….okay."

O.O.O.O

"So this is me and Amu's room," I said as I held the door knob, "It's a bit pink and frilly but it's not my doing,"

"Of course it isn't," Nagihiko chuckled dryly.

"Is that sarcasm?" I growled.

"Correct,"

"Shut up," I hissed then knocked on the door, "Amu I'm coming in!"

There it was, Amu and Ikuto tangled up in each other on the bedroom carpet. Amu was wearing her white tank top with red polka dots, and some red underwear her hair was out and messy and her bangs were tied up in a red bubble clip. She certainly looked like she just crawled out of bed. Ikuto's shirt was off which SURPRISINGLY did not make me die of gorgeous over dose.

Gee, I am kind of disappointed.

ANYWAY….

"Amu WHAT THE HELLLLLL!" I shouted. Nagihiko coughed awkwardly.

"Sup Oushii?" Ikuto said so freaking casually.

"R-RIMA!" Amu stammered.

"You better explain!" I shouted.

"Um well….." Amu stammered.

"Ikuto maybe we should….." Nagihiko said awkwardly.

"What?" Ikuto growled. Nagihiko marched over there and dragged the shirtless hottie out of the room and downstairs.

I entered the room and closed the door.

"Where is Ami?" I asked surprised.

"In her room, why?"

"YOU WERE GOING TO DO IT WITH YOUR SISTER NEXT DOOR!"

"! I WAS NOT! I WAS NOT! NO I WASN'T GOING TO….AHHHHHHHH!" Amu screamed.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Ahhhhhhhh, no! We were just….kissing…."

"Oh…sorry," I apologized with a smile, "But um….WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR PANTS?"

"He came through the balcony so quick and I…Rima, I wasn't going to do it…..DON'T SAY THAT! Just picturing it is scary! AHHH STOP! STOP SAYING IT!"

"I AM NOT!"

"YES YOU ARE!"

"NO, I AM NOT!"

"OH SORRY!" Amu continued to scream.

"Amu, why are we screaming?" I asked annoyed.

"S-Sorry," She apologized.

"Look, just put your pants on and let's go entertain those….guys."

"OH NO! You have some explaining to do as well! You left to go on a date with Kairi and came back with Nagihiko," Amu smirked sitting down on the bed. STILL IN HER UNDERWEAR.

"Yeah…." I said awkwardly.

"WELL WHAT HAPPENED!" She squealed bouncing up and down making the bed shake.

"Nothing…." I grumbled, "Gosh."

"Fine…..take the love journal…..let it out." Amu smiled.

"There is nothing to…OKAY GIVE IT TO ME!" I giggled grabbing it out the pinkette's hand and scribbling stuff in it. I took about five minutes while she changed. Once I finished I too changed out of everything letting my hair down and putting on my blue sweats and my slack off the shoulder white tee.

"Let me read it," Amu chimed as she snatched the book away from me. She was still wearing her tank only this time she wore a bra, and finally, a pair of red yoga pants, "OMG! What's this passion in the photo booth?"

"WHAT? I had an effin good time," I laughed.

"Yes, but with Kairi,"

"So? He's so fricking funny! Oh my god you should see our pictures!" I continued laughing my ass off, "T-There was one w-when he was…." I laughed loudly again, "….K-Kukai! He looked just like him!"

"Wowwww, what nice chemistry," Amu sighed, "Oh well at least we know why Yaya called you a sheep. Jealous much."

"I would be pissed too," I sighed, "Well everything happens for a reason."

"Oh well, let's go play dominos with the boys!" Amu said excitedly.

"No fricking way we are totally playing BS,"

"BS?"

"Yeah bullshit,"

"There is a game called…."

"Come on Amu, let's go."

"Fine fine,"

O.O.O.O

SUNDAY NIGHT, 12:00 A.M

CURRENT LOCATION: HINAMORI RESIDENCE

SLEEPING PEACEFULLY

RING RING RING RING!

"What's that?" Amu shrieked waking me up.

"I think it's the Alarm…." I yawned.

"Oh."

3 minutes later.

"AMUUUUUUUU!"

"I told you I set it for twelve," she laughed awkwardly.

"That's it go sleep on the floor!"

"It's my bed," Amu stated haughtily, "You can't do me anything."

"Don't make me kick you in the nuts,"

"What?"

"JUST GO TO SLEEP!"
