------------------------

Ch. 1 – the request

Ayumi could see why a lot of girls liked the bluehaired boy. Even the way he leaned over his table causing strands of hair to fall forward and mingle with his eyelashes, sent a shockwave of sighs from almost every girl in the classroom.

Surely Ayumi did admire Satoshi Hiwatari, but that didn´t send her drooling every time he moved! She admired his intelligence, his looks, even the way he had lived with having to share his body with Krad the homicidal angel, without going crazy.

But even though he was a friend of her, he was still a mystery to her.

Why did he even tell me about Krad in the first place?´ she thought with her eyes closed. When she opened them once again, she saw Satoshi slightly gazing upon her. A bit surprised she smiled at him thinking Did I say that out loud or does he just have an amazing timing? Hmm.. I guess it wouldn´t surprise me if he was a mind rea--´

”DIIING!!” her thoughts were interrupted by the school bells. Chiming like there was no tomorrow. Lunch break.

Risa was at Ayumi´s desk like a hungry hawk, whom she gained a surprised look from.

Just by looking at the brown eyed classmate Ayumi could tell something was up and it wasn´t going to please her.

”Hello Ayumi-chan!” Risa said, earning yet another surprised look from the blond girl.

Since when had they become that friendlywith eachother? Ayumi didn´t hate Risa nor did she find her pleasant, so the -chan´ was a bit too much in Ayumi´s opinion, but she ended up ignoring it.

”Hello Risa-san.” Ayumi said, with a bit too much wight on the -san´.

”I was just wondering if you would like to eat lunch with me? I need to talk to you about something..” Risa asked, whilst her cheeks burned adding a shade of pink to her slightly tanned skin.

The sight of this sent a shiver down Ayumi´s spine. Please Kami-sama, let her not be into me..´ Ayumi silently prayed.

”Err.. Sure.” she answered, already regretting it.

”Great!” Risa said, grabbing Ayumi´s hand in pure happyness.

Satoshi looked slightly confused at Ayumi who was practicly being dragged out of the classroom by the brunette.

---------------------o--------------------

”...Soo.. You wanted to talk to me about something?” Ayumi said, breaking the silence.

The two girls were sitting underneath a sakura tree in the schoolyard, eating their bentos, meanwhile the warm summer breeze was playing with their long hair.

”Um.. Yes.. It´s kinda embarrassing..” Risa started, yet again blushing lightly.

oh god..´ Ayumi thought to her self, pulling a stray strand of blond hair behind her ear, getting ready for what ever Risa wanted to say.

”Well, I think I have a crush on Hiwatari-kun and I would really like to get to know him..--”

Ayumi released a breath she didn´t know she had held back. Now feeling kind of dumb to think that Risa had a crush on her.

”--.. so I was thinking that you might want to help me get closer to Hiwatari-kun, you know since your his friend..?” She continued, giving Ayumi a puppy-eyes-look.

”I really dont see what I can do..” Ayumi said wondering what Risa had in mind.

Risa gave a bright smile to the blond girl, thinking she had agreed to help her.

”You could start with inviting me to join you two at the roof when you eat lunch.”

why dont you just ask Niwa?´ she thought but dismissed it as soon as she had tought of it. Niwa never really spent time with Satoshi after the two angels had been sealed away. He only had his eyes on Riku, his girlfriend, now.

”Sure..” ayumi finally replied. why did I just agree..?´

Poor Satoshi, who knew what he had in store..

-------------------------o-------------------------------

ch. 2 – Dreams of the subconsciousness

He tugged at her slim waist, pulling them closer, deepening the kiss. With his other hand he caressed her soft long hair, making her shiver with pleasure. With her heart furiously beating they parted to breath the much needed air. The blue eyed boy then placed his head lovingly in the croock of her neck.

”Ayumi..” He whispered softly in her ear. She felt his warm breath as he exhailed. And as if he had cast a spell on her by saying her name it suddenly made her feel real, alive and filled with bliss.. She forced herself to remember every detail of this kiss in her mind.

His lips were hot and soft. The kiss tasted like... Love.--

By opening her eyes she broke the spell of her dream.

After a few seconds of staring at the seling she sat up thinking shocked ´Oh.. My.. God. I can´t belive I just had that kind of dream.. of Satoshi no less!!´ Ashamed of dreaming of a friend that way, she tossed herself back down on the bed again, trying to lable the dream as crazy.

Glancing at her night stand by coincidence her eyes widening as she was shocked for the second time this morning. The batteries in her alarm clock had been dead since about midnight! Picking up her mobilephone suspecting the worst, which came true. It was now 7.50am! And since Ayumi had overslept and was most likely to be late for school, she practically jumped out of bed. As she cursed her clocks betrayal for not waking her up on time, she grabbed her dark-red and white school uniform.

5minutes later she was downstairs swallowing her breakfast.

”Oh, your up!” said an elder blond woman as she slowly walked over to Ayumi.

Her shoulder long hair was slightly wet from the relaxing shower she had just had. Ayumi took the time to gaze enviously at her mother with a piece of bread poking out from her mouth, she had no time to take a hot shower.

”You know, I thought you had called in sick since you didn´t come down to eat breakfast earlier..” her mother statet as she muffled the teen´s hair.

Ayumi who suddenly remembered the stressfull situation she was in, almost choked on the piece of bread that had been hanging out of her mouth. Making her mother burst out in laughter.

”Thanks mom..!” the teen said being sarcastic.

Her mother was too busy with trying to hide her laughs to reply. So Ayumi just hurried to the door, grabbing her school bag and putting on her black shoes.

”I´mgoingnow,byemom!” Ayumi said in one breath as she stepped out in the warm summer weather, closing the door behind her.

Just hearing her mother yell ”Have a nice day, Ayu-chan!” before she ran around the corner of the house.

She had english in the first period and since her teacher was very strickt she had a feeling he would kill her for being late.So in an attempt to avoid her fate she decided to take a shortcut.

Not a good idea.

The blond teen greated her neighbors as if she wassent running across their garden and attempting to cross their hedge too. Before she knew it the bush had claimed a piece of her skirt making her fall on her face greating the leafs too.

When Ayumi finally reached school, only ten minutes late, she looked like a mess. Her hair was messy, the school uniform had definintely seen better days and her knees and elbows was one heck of a dirt collector.

But Ayumi didn´t really care for her looks at that point, she was only focusing on surviving her english class.

She hurried down the empty halls to her classroom panting as she opened the door.

”I´m so sorry I´m late, sensei!” she apologized whilstshe bowed humbly.

Ayumi didn´t see it but the teacher and the whole class was in shock by how she looked.

She only straitened from her bow when the teacher answered.

”Ah, yes. Please take your seat.”

with her jaw slightly hanging she stared at her teacher. She had been prepaired for anything but that!

”Miss Yoshikawa, do you intent to stand there all day?”

”Ah! N-no of course not!” she replied almost running to her seat.

Ayumi failed to notice thatwhen she passed a blue haired boy he smiled lightly to her.

-------------------o------------------------

-Lunchbreak-

Staring at the new homework, having no idea how to solve it, she glanced at Satoshi the genius, quietly begging for help.

But before she could call out his name she realised that Risa had been trying to get her attention. She sighed and got up from her chair to casually walk up to Risa, passing Satoshi who noticed and glanced at her.

”So.. Risa-san do you want to eat lunch with Satoshi and me?” she asked already knowing the answer. She only asked this question because Satoshi was sitting right behind her.

”I´d love to!” Risa replied beaming with eagerness.

Ayumi turned around after hearing the brunette´s answer and smiled encouraging at Satoshi who had a strange feeling about this.

------------------------o---------------------------

-At the roof-

”Ah-hahaha.. so thats why you looked like that earlier! Sensei was so shocked that he couldn´t even send you to the principals office!” Risa giggled

When the blond had toldthe other two teens about her morning it made her feel a bit embarassed by her self, having to go through it thing again.

Risa had been laughing through out the whole story, but Satoshi seemed to be distracted by something near her face.

Ayumi quickly attempted to change the subject.

”Ah! By the way Satoshi, I really don´t get that english assignment, so could you--” Ayumi started looking at her bento when she picked up a homemade dumpling but was interrupted by Satoshi.

”wait! Sit still. You have a leaf in your hair..”

”Eh?” the blond raised her eyes to meet his. The leaf must have been from her fall in the bush earlier.

Ayumi´s heart skipped a beat in surprise when Satoshi reached out to run his fingers trough her long soft hair in search of the leaf. Ayumi who suddenly remembered the dream she had been having this morning, blushed lightly at the touch.Once again looking at the bento in her lap this time because of embarasment, Ayumi felt like these seconds of touches was lasting hours. But was it a coincidence that Satoshi slightly caressed her warm cheek as he lowered his hand after having found the leaf?

”I´m sorry, you were saying something about the english homework...” he said, triumfing with the troublesome leaf between his fingers.

”Eh, um.. y-yes.. c-could you help me with that after school?” she said averting his eyes. ´why can´t I look him in the eye? Just because I had that wierd dream, doesn´t mean I have to be embarrased as if I had actually kissed him! I´m being silly!´ she thought as she forced herself to look Satoshi strait in his ice blue eyes.

”Sure, anytime.” he replied smiling.

”I-I also don´t understand it, please help me too!!” Ayumi almost jumped! She had forgotten everything about Risa being there.

”Okay.” Satoshi answered smiling at Risa too making her melt.

Suddenly the school bells rang and disturbed the teens, telling them that they had to hurry down stairs.

----------------o----------------------

ch. 3 – the tutoring

Narrowing her eyes, Ayumi looked at the foreign words having no idea what they ment, feeling more and more like a failure by every english word she read. Finally giving up, she called for Satoshi loudly, who was currently helping Risa, at her side.

”SHHH!!” the librarian hushed almost as loud as Ayumi, pointing at a Please-be-quiet-sign.

´Oops..´Auymi mimiced innocently at the glaring lady.

Ayumi earned giggles from Risa and a sly smile from Satoshi as he showed her his index and middle finger, as if saying I´m coming in 2 seconds, ok? Ayumi nodded at this. But then noticed Risa, as she started to obviously flirt with her crush. Ayumi frowned at the fact that Satoshi seemed extreamly thick headed today.

The brunette twirled a small amount of silky hair around her index finger, as she tried to look as cute and helpless as ever, though Ayumi knew she was actually one of the best at english in their class. The fact that Risa obviously didn´t need help with her english homework but still wasted Satoshis and hers time, pretending to be far worse than she really was, kinda pissed Ayumi of.

´I need tutoring, not Risa!... W-wait a minute why am I getting so upset? I mean, I know exactly why shes doing this! Even though i wouldn´t do the same if I had a crush on some guy, I´d probably--´ Whilst debating with her self she failed to notice the blue eyed boy who were sitting in front of her, amused by her facial expressions, trying to guess what she was thinking. So he decided to ask.

”What are you thinking of?”

”Well you know, just how I would get closer to-- AH!” Ayumi covered her mouth as she realised that she had actually almost anwered his question without knowing it.

”How you would get closer to..Who?” Satoshi teased.

”Not telling!” Ayumi laughed after having poked her tounge out. ”Enyway I still need help with this!” She continued in a more serious manner, pointing at her english homework.

”You do know that it takes no genius to figure out what to do in this assignment right?” He wasn´t going to give up on teasing her just yet.

”Ouch..! You are definantly helping me recover from my inferiority complex by saing that.” Ayumi answered dramaticly placing her left hand at her chest as if her heart was aching.

Satoshi smirked as if he was going to play along but then seemed to decide to be serious. ”All you have to do is write down a synonym for each of the words on the left and you choose from the words on the right, see?”

”Oh!” Ayumi said finally getting it. ”so... what does ´Obstinate´ mea--”

”Hiwatari-kun!” Risa almost yelled ”Please help me!”

Ayumi frowned a bit because of the lie, but quickly regained her usual smiling appearance.

Satoshi looked at the blond and asked as if he hadn´t heard Risa´s call. ”Sorry, you were saying?” Was he attempting to ignore Risa?

”Ah, well it´s no biggie, you can help Risa-san instead she seemes to need it more..” By betraying herself, at least she got a huge smile from a beaming Risa. ´I wonder if I´m gonna be able to go home today with my homework done or not..´ she thought with her pen touching her slightly separated lips. ´I might as well just start guessing what the words mean, since I can just correct it when I got my dictionary on monday.´ Another girl in their class had borrowed her dictionary but had forgotten to return it at the end of class. And since it was friday she had to wait ´till monday to get it back.

----------------------------o---------------------------

A bit later Ayumi felt something big and warm touching her back. Wideing her eyes in surprise she turned her head around looking over her shoulder to see Satoshi´s face only inches away from her own. Separating her lips to say something which never came out as her voice betrayed her. Satoshi noticed this and placed an arm on each side of her. Supported by the table, he leaned a bit closer looking calmly deep into her wide gray eyes.

Without thinking she turned her head to look at the papers in front of her. Her heart was racing like mad and she was blushing furiously. ´H-he wasn´t going to k-kiss me was he?!´ she thought as she tried desperatly to focus on anything but the warm chest that was still leaning against her back. Failing in her attempt she felt how Satoshi´s heart was beating rather calmly against her spine and somehow it made her feel safe.

”´Industious´ and ´Inquisitive´ should be switched..” Satoshi slowly said.

”Oh..” Ayumi stated more because she realised that he was talking about the assignment than actually seeing her own error.

Both of the teens reached out for the eraser and when their fingers accidentally brushed against eachother, Ayumi´s slightly flinched.

”I´ll do it..” The blue haired boy said softly almost whispering.

As Satoshi slowly erased some of Ayumi´s hand writing, he inhaled her hair´s feminine smell and by exhailing he sent a shiver down Ayumi´s back letting him know that she was very aware of him.

Too astonished to move, Ayumi clenched her pen holding it close to her heart as she felt it race.

When Satoshi was done erasing he reached for her pen gently unwrapping her fingers with a gentle smile.

He took the pen and wrote the right words on her paper as he stated.

”Done.”

-----------------------o-----------------------

Ch. 4 – the joys of gambling
The joyous screams made the blond girl flinch, but she was getting more used to it, after all she had been waiting there for 10 minutes already.

She was standing at the opening to the newly renovated amusement park ´Azumano Joyland´ .

The light blue top she wore complimented her pale gray eyes and her long blond hair was tied up loosely by a couple of hair needles.

Leaning up against the light pole Ayumi silently asked her self. “Why am I even here?”

(Flashback -start-)

Friday evening Ayumi was sitting on the couch with her mother, they watched a not very exiting show about different species of butterflies. Whilst the teen (and most likely her mother too) was spacing out and not really watching the butterfly-show, the phone rang.

Ayumi didn’t even look at her mother when she stated “Mom, its your turn.”

“Oh, now we have turns?” the blond lady answered skeptically.

Ayumi just looked at her sort of pleading. The blond teen had already told her mother all about her nerve-racking day. All about the being late, how Satoshi had found the leaf in her hair and the way he had helped her with homework. Satoshi had truly been acting wired.

Ayumi´s mother gave in to her daughters puppy-eyes. “Fine, but if its your dad again, I’m hanging up.” Her mother sighed as she walked over to the table where the phone was.

“I don’t mind, I really don’t want to talk to him either..” Ayumi replied almost whispering.

Since her father had cheated on her mother and after the divorce, Ayumi hadn’t been that eager to talk to him.

“Ayu-chan, its for you. Saehara-kun.” Her mother said winking at her daughter. Getting the awaited death-glare, the short haired woman gave Ayumi the phone.

´I wonder what Takeshi-kun wants…´ the blond said to her self as she raised the phone to her ear.

“Yeah?”

“Ah, Ayu-chan!” The boy said laughing, trying to imitate her mother.

“Are you looking for a fight Takeshi-kun?” Ayumi said slowly in a freezing cold manner.

“Ah-hahaha ,but its so cute!!” Hearing this Ayumi exhaled dramatically.

“Please let me call you Ayu-chan!”

“No.” Ayumi said with not even the slightest sign of hesitation.

“Aww.. come on..”

“Takeshi-kun are you attempting to make me hang up on you or did you actually call me for a reason?” Ayumi was defiantly not in the mood for this.

“Ah, a bit moody aren’t we?” Not waiting for a reply he continued. “Ill fix that right away!”

“How..?” Ayumi took the time to sit down on a nearby chair, getting ready for whatever he was going to throw at her.

“I’m inviting you and Risa on a date with me in Azumano Joyland!” The boy beamed.

“…Perv.”

Triggered by the previous word Ayumi´s mother glanced upon her daughter, who was currently sitting with her face buried in her left hand.

“HEY!” for once Takeshi seemed offended. But not very long. “Oh, I get it.. you’re jealous!”

“Say that again and I’m seriously gonna come over and kick your butt!”

Ignoring Ayumi´s threat he continued. “Oh, but fair Ayu-chan, fate would not allow my humble wish to be granted. Risa said she would only go if that Hiwatari guy came too, so I had to invite him too.. Damn. And I really can’t stand that cold-a** guy!”

“…” there were just too many aspects in those sentences that Ayumi wanted to hit the s**t outta him for.

“Well I really wold have said no to your date offer but since Satoshi shouldn’t be alone with the two of you, Ill have to come along.”

´You owe me bad, Satoshi!´ Ayumi thought.

(Flashback -end-)

“AYUU-CHAAAAN! OVER HERE!!!” ´Don’t call me that in public, damn it! No wait don’t ever call me that!´ Ayumithought glaring at the raven haired boy who was running towards her with an amazing velocity, dragging two other teens along.

“Hey guys. You’re a bit late..” The blond greeted whilst the two teens caught their breath.

“We came as fast as we could..” Risa joked as she straitened her light red dress and her loose ponytail.

Ayumi chuckled. “Somehow I don’t doubt that..”

“Ayumi! I didn’t know you were coming along!” Satoshi said smiling rather relived.

Ayumi smiled knowingly at him, and noticed his usual clothing. The white T-shirt and the kind of tight blue cowboy-pants. It didn’t matter to Ayumi if he only had that kind of simple clothing in his wardrobe, because he looked good in that.

“Risa didn’t tell me when she called me last night…” he gave Risa a wired look.

The brunette scratched her neck and smiled shyly at Satoshi then at Ayumi. “Well it wasn’t certain at that time..”

Ayumi, who couldn’t stand the wired atmosphere said. “… Whatever. I’m here, you’re here. Lets get in!”

----------------------------------------------------o-------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking down the people filled front halls, the blond had a strange look on her face. She smiled suddenly. “Now lets gamble!”

“Gamble?!” the three teens gaped at Ayumi.

“…What?”

“Whatever, I’m wanna try the ´Devil-rollercoaster´! Its supposed to have three loops and go with the velocity of 200km/h! So, who wanna come?” Takeshi beamed.

“…”

“I would really like to ride the ´love-boats´.” Risa said, then slipped her arm around Satoshi´s.

“But, I get really sea-sick..” Satoshi said, not lying.

“Oh, I’m sure you’ll be fine!” Risa then dragged of with him, leaving the two other teens behind.

“Soo…” Takeshi started.

“No, that would be suicide. Ill be by the gambling booths.” Ayumi replied.

-----------------------------------------------o------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Much later-

“POW!” the toy bullet flew out of the gun Ayumi held and past the guy behind the booths counter.

“You missed again. That was your last shot.” The guy stated.

“…” Ayumi reached into her small light blue purse which was hanging from her shoulder and grabbed another 250Yen.

“Again?!” The guy in front of her seemed shocked. Well it was her fifth try at that booth.

“You know, miss, you might have a gambling problem..”

“No, I have a winning problem.”

“…yeah, that too…”

Just as Ayumi was about to fire her last bullet, she heard a well known voice.

“Ahh!! Ok, maybe I shouldn’t have bought you that candifloss. I’m gonna get you some salt crackers, just wait here!” ´Risa´

Ayumi slightly turned towards the sound and by mistake she pulled the trigger. The bullet went flying, the guy just barely evading it, and it actually hit a target. It shot the eye out of a pink stuffed teddy bear key ring.

“YES!!” Ayumi shouted.

“Ayumi..?” Satoshi walked towards her.

“Hi! …err.. are you ok? You look… green.” She stated, worried. The guy behind the counter handed her the now one-eyed teddy key ring.

“yeah… the candifloss was kind of the last straw that broke the camel’s back.” Satoshi said, not even daring to look at the pink fluffy substance in his left hand.

“Oh…” Ayumi stared hungrily at the candifloss.

Satoshi noticed this. “You want it?”

“Yeah!!” the blond smiled happily. “Oh! Here!” Ayumi said proudly handing Satoshi the key ring.

Satoshi eyed the Cyclops-teddy-bear with confusion.

“For you. Its a ´I-hope-you-get-well-soon-present´!” Ayumi beamed innocently.

He smiled at the thought behind the gift, but decided to mock her a bit. “How… romantic.” The blue haired teen replied sarcastically as he claimed the key ring. “Or at least it would have been if I had won it for you.”

“Hey! I’m just compensating here!” she laughed.

“… Wait a minute are you saying I cant win you anything?” he replied smiling.

“Maybe.” Ayumi grinned. That was a clear challenge.

“We’ll see..” And Satoshi accepted it.

------------------------------------------------------o-----------------------------------------------------------------

“You suck!” Ayumi said giggling.

Satoshi had just missed the target with his last bullet.

“You’re not allowed to say that when the only thing you won in an hour of gambling was this.” The blue haired teen laughed and took out the pink teddy key ring so it dangled in front of her. “I’m still feeling dizzy, so the shooting might not work for me. But how about…”

The teens took a look around and saw the “Apple-fishing!” Satoshi said.

“Man, I cant wait to see you choke on apples and water! This is gonna be so much fun!” Ayumi chuckled already imagining the images in her head.

“…”

Seeing Satoshi hesitate she took his hand and dragged him along.

When they reached the booth with the tub filled with water and apples, the elder lady behind the counter noticed them and started to explain the rules.

“You get one minute to catch an apple, but you cant use your hands. The green apples gives 10points, the yellow gives 5points and the red ones gives 1point.”

When the lady was done explaining the simple rules, Satoshi digged into his pocket and then put the 250yen by the counter.

“Oh, I see..” The short raven haired lady giggled like a school girl as she continued. “You’re going to win a prize for your cute girlfriend.”

Satoshi swallowed hard. Ayumi´s candifloss fell to the ground.

“Dear, you dropped your candifloss!” The lady stated worried. But then noticed something. “Aww… you’re even holding hands! So cute!”

The blond teen released Satoshi´s hand as if it had burned her. As the lady behind the counter began to explain how she and her first love had always gone on lots of dates at the near amusement parks, Ayumi felt how her heart was beating faster and faster, and her face was getting dark crimson.

In the corner of her eye Ayumi saw how Satoshi also had a tint of red across his cheeks. But he had a strangely determined look on his face.

Ayumi´s gaze fell to the ground, and from any other angle she looked like she was staring sadly at her candifloss.

“—And we always held hands! It was so romantic. … Oh no! I forgot all about the fishing game!”

“yeah…”Satoshi mumbled.

“Well go on ahead, your minute starts now.” She said as she secretly winked at Ayumi, who flinched.

Satoshi leaned in and tried to catch a green apple, but used too much power which resulted in Satoshi´s head under water.

Ayumi let out a hearty giggle, but stopped abruptly when she saw how his soaked blue hair clinged to his facial features, how drops of pure water caressed his soft lips.

The blond swallowed a knot her throat seemed to have created.

´Satoshi as my boyfriend…?´ and just as her heart had stopped pounding so hard, it resumed. Ayumi shook her head, trying to get rid of the nagging thought. Once again looking up she looked directly at a panda. She gasped in surprise, but then noticed a triumphing Satoshi holding the big stuffed teddy.

“You seemed deep in thought so I chose this for you.” He handed the blond girl the panda. “So, I didn’t suck after all, huh.”

Ayumi looked at the panda in her arms, then smiled a rare warm and gentle smile at Satoshi. “No. You don’t.”

She then stepped closer to him, reached out and squeezed the water out of a lock of blue hair gently. “You really did get soaked.” She stated slowly still smiling.

The tint of red made a comeback on Satoshi´s cheeks.

“Satoshi-kuun!?” A female squeak reached Ayumi´s ear, followed by a familiar boy’s laugh. “Ayu-chaan?!”

A heavy sigh escaped Ayumi´s lips, as she let her hand fall to her side.

“Ayu-chan? Isn’t that Yoshikawa-san´s nickname for you?” Satoshi seemed slightly confused.

“Yup.”

“Two years ago I tried to call you that, but I almost got slapped..”

“Yeah. Well I couldn’t hit him through the phone. By the way you just got upgraded! Satoshi-kun, huh. No more Hiwatari-kun?” Ayumi smiled slyly at Satoshi.

“She started calling me that ever since we rode those love-boats..” His gaze fell to the ground.

“There you are!” Takeshi yelled happily.

“Takeshi-kun, you usually don’t yell when you’re five feet from the person!” Ayumi said rubbing her ear.

“Satoshi-kun I got you some salty-chips. Its supposed to help getting rid of the icky-feeling.” Risa had once again slipped her arm around Satoshi´s.

´Icky-feeling?´ Ayumi frowned.

“thanks, but I feel much better.” Satoshi said, smiling casually.

When they started walking towards the exit, Takeshi noticed something. “Hey, did you try to drown Hiwatari, Ayu-chan?”

“…”

-----------------------------------------------------------o------------------------------------
