Chapter 6.

On Saturday afternoon, while Daidouji family was enjoying a lunch of Pepperoni Pizza, they all heard the sounds of a car stopping in front of their gate.

"Maria!" yelled out Yukito.

"I can tell by the sounds she makes, that it's her."

Tomoyo dropped her slice on the plate and ran outside. Entering through the front gates was one Sonomi Daidouji.

"Mom! You're here."

Tomoyo ran up to her and was immediately enveloped in a warm embrace.

"Oh Thank God you're here. I missed you so much."

Her voice was muffled, since her head was buried in the crook of Sonomi's neck.

"Oh, Honey. I missed you so much too."

Sonomi dropped a kiss on top of her daughter's head, and tightened the hug.

"Aaheemmm! You know, the last time I checked we were your children too."

Sonomi looked up at her sons. Yukito had a mock scowl on his face, while Yue had an amused smile on his.

"My Boys!"

Sonomi opened her arms wide. Both Yukito and Yue embraced her together, from each side. Sonomi kissed both their temples, and clutched them closer.

"So, how much trouble have you two been in, so far?" Sonomi asked, once they separated.

"Oh Mom, forget them." Tomoyo said, clutching her Mother's hand and dragging her inside. "Come on, see how the house looks."

"O.k. O.k." Sonomi laughed softly over Tomoyo's enthusiasm.

"Hey Yuki. Could you guys grab my luggage from the trunk? And don't forget to bring in the bag from the front seat." Sonomi called out over her shoulders, before she disappeared through the front door.

Yukito, at the meantime was preoccupied. He was literally sprawled over the hood of the silver Cadillac, that his mother had driven in.

"Oh Maria, how I missed you so. How have you been treated in my absence? I hope Mom has been taking good care of you."

Yue was looking incredulously at his brother, from the side-walk. Who, at the moment, was getting re-acquainted with his beloved "Maria", and murmuring loving words to her.

"Ummm Yuki, you do know that this is an inanimate object, right?"

"How dare you? You've hurt her feelings. Apologize."

Yue heaved a huge sigh and rubbed a hand over his eyes. He got in to the car through the passenger seat.

"Come on Idiot. Lets take her inside."

Yue called out to him and Yukito took his seat on the driver's side. He ran his hands loving over the wheel. It wasn't as if he was psychotically obsessed with his car. He just loved it too much. He had had this car for two years now and had taken really good care of it. He had been devastated when he had to leave it behind and drive his Mom's truck to the new place.

They took the car in the garage and parked it next to the truck. They grabbed the stuff their Mom had asked when headed inside.

Sonomi was sitting on the sofa, engaged in a conversation with Tomoyo. She was loving petting Jacky's head, who was panting slightly at her feet. He too was happy to see her.

"There you guys are. Give me the bag." Sonomi said to Yue, who was holding a gift bag with patterns of flowers on it. He handed it to her.

"Happy Birthday Sweet-heart!" Sonomi handed the bag to Tomoyo.

"Thank you Mom."

Tomoyo proceeded to open the bag and took out the wrapped-up box from inside. She unwrapped it and took out its contents.

"Aaahhhh!! THANKS MOM!!"

She screamed when she took out the object from the box. It was a brand new, hand-held Sony Video Camera (1).

"I knew you'd like it." Said Sonomi smiling at her daughter's over enthusiasm.

"So, what's been going on since you guys came here?"

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

The rest of their weekend was spent home, getting used to their new surroundings. Sonomi had made a quick trip to the hospital to let them know she'd arrived. She would be starting there on Monday, along with her children, starting their school.

When Tomoyo went to bed on Sunday night, she couldn't help thinking about tomorrow. She pondered over what kind of people she will meet, and whether she will make new friends.

`I wonder if I'll see Eriol Hiiragizawa at school tomorrow.' Was her last thought, before sleep claimed her.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

"How much further is it? I didn't think it would take us this long to get there."

Tomoyo inquired from the back seat of the car. Her back pack was lying right next to her. They were on their way to their new school.

"We should be there any minute now. Ah, there it is. I see the building."

With that, Yukito pulled the car in the huge parking lot of Tomeda High. They didn't see a lot of students, as was expected of high school. But then again, maybe it was because they had gotten there earlier than the time school regularly started.

After Yukito had parked the car, all three of them exited with their back packs slung over their shoulders. Yukito was going to be a senior this year. Yue was a junior, and Tomoyo was sophomore. Their last school had already forwarded their transcripts, and they had gotten credits for courses they already completed.

"First stop. Registrar's office."

Yukito said and started towards the main entrance of the building. He was followed shortly by his siblings. After asking a security guard where it was located, they quickly found their way to the registrar. They entered the office and found a middle-aged woman sitting behind the desk. There were lots of papers scattered haphazardly on the desk.

"Good Morning. May I help you?"

She inquired of the three people standing there. She was wearing tortoise-shell glasses and her eyes appeared abnormally large from behind the specs.

"Yeah Hi. My name is Yukito Daidouji. This is my brother Yue and my sister Tomoyo." Yukito stated. "This is our first time here, and we're here to pick up our schedules."

"Oh yes. You're Dr. Daidouji's kids." She spoke up, smiling at them. "I remember. She had came in a month ago to register you guys. She's a surgeon right. I spoke with her about this pain I can't get rid off in my lower back. She said she'll check me out. Very nice woman your mother is."

While speaking, she was rummaging through one of the cabinets marked A-D.

"Aha, there you are."

She pulled out three sheets of paper and held it out to them.

"Here are your schedules. We looked at you transcripts and put you in classes most suited for you."

"Thank you." Spoke up Tomoyo grabbing her schedule.

"Yeah, thanks" Yue and Yukito mumbled their own gratitude.

"All right children. Welcome to Tomeda High. Enjoy your first day." She said good naturedly.

All three of them offered her a small smile and stepped out into the hallway.

"Woah. A little high on caffeine, wasn't she?" Yuktio commented. "Well, lets see what classes they gave us."

They all looked through their schedules.

"Oh man. I've got Math first period. That sucks." Yukito was the first to complain.

"Hey look, you and I have the same Math sections." Yue said looking at their program cards.

"Oh yeah, that's cool." Yukito exclaimed.

"Oh, but wait. They're the same section, but different periods. I have Math fourth period."

Yue put a damper on Yukito's joy. Math had always been his weakest subject, but Yue had always excelled in it. He always required Yue's help when the exam time rolled around.

The school bells finally rang and all three of them started towards their respective classes.

"O.K. we'll meet by the car at the end of the day, o.k. guys?" Yukito said.

Both Yue and Tomoyo nodded and disappeared in the throng of students.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Tomoyo walked into her fourth period of the day. She had an English class with Mr. Terada. So far, she had been to history, biology and math. Since it was the first day of school, teachers had spent the time introducing the course to the students and informing what was required of them.

She walked into the quickly filling up class. She sought out a seat and found one empty, next to a boy who was furiously writing on his notebook.

"Umm, excuse me. Is this seat taken?"

Tomoyo asked the boy and he looked up. He had cornflower blonde hair and bright baby blue eyes. His face was rounded. It would be better to call him cute rather then handsome, for the innocent expression that was on his face. He gave her a huge smile and answered.

"Of course not. Please sit down."

Tomoyo hung her back pack on the back of the chair and sat down.

"My name is Tomoyo Daidouji."

She introduced herself and offered him her hand. He shook her hand amiably and turned slightly in her direction.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kurogasa Tsukishiro (2). But my friends call me Kero."

"Kero. That's a nice nick name." Tomoyo commented.

"So, is this your first day here Tomoyo cuz I don't think I've seen you here before." Kero inquired.

"Yeah. I just moved here recently with my family." She said.

"So, first time here huh. Do you like our humble little town? Do you like the school? Did you make any friends yet?"

Kero bombarded Tomoyo with questions. She looked at him, slightly wide-eyed, and smiled broadly.

"You sound just like my brother. Anyway, I haven't really had a chance to go out and check out the town yet. You know, busy with readjusting and stuff. And as for making friends, I guess you're the first one I made today." Tomoyo explained.

"And a good decision that was too." Kero said good naturedly. "Don't you worry about making friends. I practically know everyone around here. I'll introduce you to the crowd."

Tomoyo was about to say something when Mr. Terada walked in the class. He opened up the register and started taking attendance.

"Pssst, hey Tomoyo." Kero whispered. Tomoyo looked at him inquiringly.

"What class do you have after this period?"

Tomoyo took out her schedule and gave it a once over.

"I've got gym next." She whispered back to him.

"Oh yeah, that's cool. Me too!"

In his excitement, Kero didn't realize his voice had gotten a little too loud. He looked around himself and found the whole class staring at him, including the teacher. He gave a nervous chuckle and slid down a little in his chair.

"I see Mr. Tsukishiro hasn't changed much over the summer." Mr. Terada said shaking his head. The whole class tittered slightly. Tomoyo offered Kero a small smile, and focused her attention on the front of the class.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

Yue was not having a good day. With his exceptional good looks and that silver-blonde mane of hair, he had become an amorous target for hormone-driven teenage girls. In the three classes, that he had attended so far, he had been on the receiving end of quite many appreciative looks. The attention that he was receiving from the female population, hadn't sat well with the male population of the school. They were throwing menacing and disdainful looks in his direction, which Yue was trying his best to ignore.

Today, he had decided to wear his hair in a high pony tail, instead of gathering them at the nape of his neck. There were some bangs that covered his forehead. A few wild strands, which had escaped the confines of the pony tail, were framing his face. He was wearing tight blue-jeans and a short-sleeved, button down white shirt. The way he walked down the corridors of the school, with his graceful strides and long hair brushing against his shoulders and back, had sent many a girls swooning.

Yue didn't like being in the center of attention at all. He noticed the way girls were arguing among themselves over who gets to sit next to him in class. The girls, whom had sat next to him, had tried their best to engage him in a conversation. Although he had given them cold stares and looks of indifference, the motivated girls hadn't backed down. They still tried to have a small talk. Yue ended up answering their mundane questions with small "Hns" and absent minded yes and no's, if only to shut them up.

`Don't these girls know when to give up.' He had thought dismally. Their insane giggles, when he did speak to them, were driving him crazy.

And now, as he walked into his fourth period Math class, he sent a silent prayer to heavens that the girls will not make a big deal and would leave him alone for the rest of the day.

He entered the classroom and went towards the back of the class. Maybe if no one noticed him, he'll be left alone. He found a girl sitting quietly at the back of the room, bent over a book. When he approached, she looked up and gave him a small friendly smile. Yue didn't find any signs of flirtatiousness from this girl, so he sat down on the chair next to her.

"Hi, my name is Mina Hayami." She introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Yue Daidouji." Yue politely returned her greeting.

"First time in the school huh?" Mina said looking at him. At Yue's slightly surprised face, she chuckled softly.

"Oh, don't look so surprised. I could tell easily. I've never seen you around before, because I certainly would've recalled seeing you."

Yue gave her a blank look.

"You stand out in the crowd." She said matter-of-factly. Yue slightly rolled his eyes at the comment.

"You don't talk much, do you?"

Mina asked, now fully turned in his direction.

"I only speak when I feel it's necessary." Yue said coldly.

"Oooh, we've got a quiet one here."

Mina was not perturbed in the slightest by Yue's icy tone.

By that time, their Math teacher had walked in. He was holding a bunch of papers in one arm and a cup of coffee in the other. He put his stuff down on the table and stood in front of the class.

"Welcome back everyone. I hope you all had a nice summer." He started. "We have some new faces among us, along with the familiar ones. Let me introduce myself to those who are having me for the first time. I am Mr. Leonard and I will be teaching you pre-calculus this semester."

Mina nudged Yue in the ribs with her elbow. When he looked at her, she made a small gag gesture by putting her index finger in her mouth, indicating her dislike for the subject. This action caused a small smile to spread over Yue's face, which quickly disappeared after a second or two.

He liked Mina. He knew he did. She hadn't treated him like an object of affection. Rather, her actions had been very cordial. He knew he would find a good friend in her. One, who wouldn't look at him with a lustful expression, but one with whom he would be able to have nice conversations with. He looked back towards the front of the class where Mr. Leonard had started speaking again.

"I don't want you guys to be scared when you hear the word pre-calculus. It's actually not a difficult subject, once you get a hang of it. What we'll be doing this semester…."

Mr. Leonard's speech was interrupted by the opening of the doors. Two individuals walked in hand in hand, with the girl of the two laughing loudly. The teacher sighed heavily and greeted the students who had just entered.

"Welcome back Mr. Kinomoto, Miss Aikzuki. Please take your seats."

"Hiya teach. Nice to be back." The girl popped her gum loudly in the teacher's direction and walked towards the back of the class holding the boy's hand.

Yue had been shocked to see who had entered. It was those two people that he had a small encounter with at the restaurant, over a week ago. Yue had cursed his luck that he had to share this class with these conceited jerks. He hoped that the boy had forgotten about him, and would leave him alone. He hadn't wanted trouble that time, and he certainly didn't want any trouble now.

He noticed those two walking in his direction, towards the back. They were dressed in the same fashion, he had seen them a week ago. The boy was wearing tight leather pants and black form-fitting tee shirt. The girl had exchanged her leather pants with a short leather mini-skirt, and was wearing a black tank top.

In his musings, Yue didn't realize that he had been staring at Touya Kinomoto, absent-mindedly. He became aware of his surroundings when his silver gaze fell into bright blue one. Touya was looking directly at him, piercing him with his eyes. Yue's eyes widened slightly and he turned his eyes away.

Touya Kinomoto took the seat directly behind Yue and sat down. Yue only hoped he wouldn't encounter any trouble and kept himself from turning head around to glance at him. He continued to stare straight ahead and listened to Mr. Leonard introducing the subject further.

He was fully aware of the pair of eyes that bore holes in his head throughout the length of the entire period.

.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

The bell finally rang indicating the end of class. Yue heaved a silent sigh of relief. By now, he had become very nervous of Kinomoto's stares in his direction, and just wanted to get away from him. He gathered up his things and stood up to leave, when he was suddenly bumped and pushed into his desk by a shoulder, from behind.

"Oops. Pardon me, Pretty boy."

These words, that came from Touya Kinomoto's mouth, were said sneeringly with a slight sarcastic tone. All Yue could do was stare apprehensively into his retreating back. He also didn't fail to notice the teasing smirk that the red-haired girl had thrown his way.

"It would be in your best interest if you just ignore it."

Yue turned around and looked at Mina. Both of them started towards the door.

"That guy, Touya Kinomoto, is bad news. Believe me, you don't want to get involved with him, and you certainly don't want him on your case." Mina said, while they stepped out of the class. Yue had yet to make a comment. He listened to her quietly.

"Well, this is where I leave you. I've got to get to my next class. See you around Yue."

She waved to him and took off.

"See you later, Mina." Yue called after her and walked towards his next class, which happened to be gym.

Since it was the first day of school, students weren't obligated to change into sweats and shorts. So, Yue just went through the gym doors and walked towards the bleachers to sit down. He was pleasantly surprised to find Tomoyo sitting there, chatting with a blonde guy. Tomoyo had spotted him and was waving her hand, beckoning him over. He walked over to them, and sat down.

"Hey Yue. Nice to see you here." Said Tomoyo. "Yue, this is Kero Tsukishiro, my new friend. Kero, this is one of my older brothers, Yue." Tomoyo made the introductions. Kero and Yue shook hands amiably.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Yue. Tomoyo has been talking about nothing but her family, and it feels as though I know you already. I have yet to meet Yukito, but I'm pretty sure we'll hit it off just fine."

At Yue's slightly widened eyes, Tomoyo couldn't help but laugh.

"Kinda reminds you of someone we know, doesn't he?"

Yue gave her a small grin.

"Well you guys, since this is your first time in school and all, I feel it's my obligatory duty to fill you in about everyone here." Kero started talking again. The three of them were sitting in the corners of the bleachers, with Tomoyo and Kero on the bottom bench, and Yue on the one above them. From there, they had the entire view of the gym.

"Why don't I tell you about the crowd I hang out with. They're great people and wonderful friends." Kero sat up straight, since he was leaning against the upper bench, and looked around they gym. He pointed towards one side of the gym, where a few cheerleaders were doing some exercises.

"You see there. That cheerleader with short brown hair with two small pony tails on the sides of her head. That's Sakura. She's my best friend. She is really sweet and cheerful, and so full of energy." Kero said pointing in the cheerleader's direction. "You'll make real good friends with her Tomoyo. You see that other cheerleader Sakura is talking with right now, that's ….."

"Chiharu." Tomoyo said, interrupting Kero. He gave her a surprised look.

"You know Chiharu Mihara? I didn't know."

"Oh no, we only just met her a week ago. She was our waitress at the fast food restaurant." Tomoyo explained.

"Ohhh, o.k. Yeah, she works there part-time. She's a very nice girl, although a little high strung. You would mostly see her hunting down her boy friend and bearing down on him, hard." Tomoyo gave him a questioning look.

"Oh you see, her boyfriend is Takashi Yamazaki. He's a fun guy to hang out with. He's always making up stories about places and where things originated from. This making stuff up doesn't sit well with his girlfriend, so she tries to stop him every chance she gets. Actually, there he is right now."

Kero pointed towards the basketball court, where a few guys were standing, passing around a basketball. The guy Kero had pointed towards had short brown hair, and was talking rapidly with his group.

While they were watching, they noticed Chiharu leave her cheerleaders' circle and walked towards the basketball court. She approached Takashi and punched him on the side of his head, without saying a single word, and walked back to continue her exercises. Takashi had immediately quieted down and now had a sheepish smile on his face.

"Scary isn't it." Kero spoke up. "It's like Chiharu has a fib radar implanted on her and can always tell when he's making something up."

Tomoyo gave a small chortle.

"You know, if you knew Chiharu, then you might also know Rika." Kero asked Tomoyo.

"Uh yeah. I only met her when she brought in our food." Said Tomoyo.

"Rika is a very sweet girl, with a very gentle spirit. No one has ever seen her raise her voice or get in any argument with anyone. She is very smart, and is actually in the Book Club. She also managed to trick me into joining that club with her."

"How did she trick you?" Yue spoke up this time. He had been listening quietly to their conversation up until now.

"Uhhhh, she asked me." Kero was sweat-dropping.

Tomoyo and Yue gave him blank looks.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. It's the way she asked. She looked at me with huge brown eyes and asked if I would be interested in joining the Book Club. I don't know why, but for some reason I couldn't say no." Kero explained.

"Oh, I know what you're talking about Kero." Yue spoke up again. "We also know a certain someone who gets her way by using her huge, purple eyes."

Tomoyo threw a wide grin in Yue's direction, who in turn pulled slightly on her pony tail.

By now, it looked like the cheerleading practice was over. Because Sakura was walking in their direction.

"Hiii Kero!!"

Sakura greeted her friend loudly and enveloped him in a hug.

"Oomph Sakura, hi to you too." Kero spoke once she released him.

"Sakura, meet Tomoyo and Yue. They just moved here recently in our town."

Sakura gave them a huge cheery smile, and shook hands with both of them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." She said politely.

"Nice to meet you too." Tomoyo returned amiably.

"I'm pretty sure we'll make good friends. Hey Tomoyo, Yue, would you guys like to hang out with us sometimes?" Sakura asked them.

"Oh yeah, I'd love to." Tomoyo said grinning broadly. Yue had kept to himself.

"O.K. cool." Sakura said, and looked at her watch.

"Listen guys, I'd love to stay and chat but I've got to go meet Syaoran. He's waiting for me by the soccer field." She said to the small group and stood up. "See ya around. Bye guys." She waved and took off.

Tomoyo knew immediately that she would befriend Sakura easily. That girl had a very sweet, outgoing disposition. The way she had immediately warmed up to the strangers, was a trait that Sakura shared with Tomoyo. Both of these girls had no problem when it came to making new friends.

A sudden commotion on the other end of the gym, caught their attention. All three of them looked that way and saw a small group, surrounding one boy. The said boy was pinned against the wall, by a tall figure clad in black. That person had immediately caught Yue's direction, for it was no other than Touya. He had the boy grabbed by his throat and was pushing him up against the wall. The boy was so far up that only his toes seemed to be touching the floor. The red-haired girl, as always, was by his side. But now, she was joined by another boy and girl. The boy had shoulder-length, slicked back blonde hair, and was slightly shorter in height, compared to Touya. The girl had jet black hair pulled up tightly in a pony tail. Both of them were also wearing tight leather pants and black t-shirts.

They seemed to be egging Touya on, for they were laughing and taunting the boy in his grasp. Touya had pulled back his fist to strike a blow, when the coach walked in and separated them. The boy had fallen on his back when Touya released him. But he quickly got to his feet and scrambled out of the gym.

Yue hadn't missed a single moment of this event. He turned towards Kero, who was also observing this closely.

"Hey Kero, who are those guys?"

Kero heaved a heavy sigh.

"That would be the trouble." He said. "You saw the guy who was pinning the poor schmuck to wall, that was Touya Kinomoto. He is the leader of the gang. They like to call themselves "Black Angels"."

"Well, I'm not surprised by that name." Tomoyo said, observing their outfits and the color scheme that ran through them.

"You see that red-headed girl with him. That's Touya's girlfriend, Nakuru Akizuki. That is one mean, cold-hearted bitch that you want to stay away from." Kero said and looked sheepishly at Tomoyo. "Pardon my French."

"You see that blondie standing next to Touya. That's Akira Watari. He likes to pretend he's a tough guy, but he stands in Touya's shadow and just backs him up. I've never seen him take initiative in a fight. And the girl with the black hair, who looks like she swallowed something nasty, is Fumi Hamada. She's Akira's girlfriend and Nakuru's best friend, so obviously, she's a member of the gang." Kero gave them a lengthy explanation.

Yue had been listening intently to every word Kero said. `Black Angels, huh' he mused. `Must be real trouble-makers.' He noticed the way the other students in gym were giving them at least 15' of space.

Touya's attention at the moment was drawn towards his group. Which gave Yue a chance to observe him freely. He saw him closely and took in everything. Touya was the tallest in his group. He had a very handsome face with large intelligent eyes and incredibly sharp features, from a pert nose to the pointed chin. He had very black hair, some of which fell over his eyes. He had a slim but powerful figure, with his broad chest and narrow waist. Yue wondered absent-mindedly if there were six-pack abs concealed behind that black T-shirt. He quickly shook that thought away and reprimanded himself for thinking such absurd things. He went back to his observation of Touya. He noticed that the leather pants that he was wearing, seemed to be molded into his incredibly long legs, topped off with black buckled boots. Yue brought his eyes back up and was startled to see that Touya was looking back at him intently, from across the gym. Yue was unable to break eye-contact with him. Touya's eyes which were boring into his own, seemed to go deep within his soul. Yue shivered involuntarily, and broke away from his intense gaze.

"Do they pick on students all the time?"

Yue snapped back to himself when Tomoyo spoke to Kero.

"Oh no, not always. They usually just leave us alone, unless someone starts something with them. It's the football team you have to look out for. They seem to think they're God's gift to this school. Always picking on innocent students like us, for no apparent reason."

"Do my ears deceive me? I know you just didn't refer to yourself as innocent, did you now?"

A new voice piped up from the side. They turned their heads and looked at the new comer. It was a boy, about Kero's height. He had very dark blue hair, and ice blue eyes. He had an amused expression on his face. Tomoyo couldn't help but think that this boy looked familiar to her, somehow.

"Buzz off you!" Kero said dismissively.

"Hey now. Is that the way to talk to your classmate, specially one who is better than you and surpasses you in everything."

Yue and Tomoyo were sweat-dropping furiously, by now. Kero face had gone red, and he seemed to be steaming.

"Shut up."

He then turned towards Tomoyo, and introduced them to the new boy.

"This is Tomoyo and Yue Daidouji. It's their first time in this school, so try to be a little nice in front of them." He reprimanded the boy.

"You guys, this arrogant bastard is Shuichi Hiiragizawa."

The boy turned towards them with a genuine friendly smile and said.

"Please, call me Suppi."

TBC.

1.I couldn't help myself.

2. I couldn't think of a name that could be shortened to make Kero, so I borrowed one from Rurouni Kenshin. Kurogasa is one of the villains in that show. Oh, and I also gave Kero Yukito's last name, since he won't be using it in this fic ^_^.

Woah!! Another one done. Please don't forget to review and let me know what I'm doing wrong. Till next time, Ja ne ^_^.
