Atsuko listened to him her features looking hopeful andthen saddened. She crawled over to him again hoping she wasn't pushing it. Putting both hands on his arm she smiled. "Well.... How about we talk about something to get your mind off of it? Oh like this!" she said snd grabbed the manga book she had attempted to read. "Do you know howta read this?" she asked cutely in her high pitched voice.

Yoichi watched as she shuffled the cards and then grinned. Picking the joker he then nodded and handed it to her face down so she couldn't see it. He was going to figure outthis fun trick eventually. It was something that probably could keep him entertained for hours.

Zane looked at her sadly then chuckled. "Yeah I do. You want me to read it to you?" he asked not being able to stay mad looking into those eyes. God did he love her. He took the book and smiled. "this is a very good one." he said and made room for her to lay next to him.

"Yeah okay!" she said brightly her voice going a bit high pitched as she nodded vigeriously making her cute short hair bob. She then laid on her stomach and kicked her legs cutely. She was in the perfect angle so she could look at Zane and the book. "You'll have to teach me though after I wanna try reading it!" she said with cute determination.

Zane chuckled. "I think you will catch on soon" he said and started reading to her. He made different voices for each character hoping to make her giggle. Soon he finished and smiled down at her. "Do you get how to read it?" he asked and kissed her head.

Atsuko laughed and giggled as Zane read to her. Her face was alight with joy and amuzement as he then set the book down. Nodding vigeriously she giggled. "yes!' she exclaimed and then let out a small cute surprised squeek as he kissed her head making a blush invade her adorable face. "Th-thank you Zane." she studdered unable to know how to respond to such affection. She never felt affection like that before in her life.

Lilly showedthe magic of her cards. They were gracefully shuffled. Lilly smiled and stared at Yoichi. He was turly interested and that made her so happy and excited. She took his wrist again and pulled out a joker. She held it up for Yoichi to see. She waited to see his reaction.

Zane chuckled and hugged her. "It was no problem Atsuko" he said smiling at her. "Do you want me to read another one to you?" he asked piking up the next one and flipping threw it lazily. HE could sit there reading to her forever. She was just the cutest thing ever and he wished she was his.

Isabella woke and looked up smiling seeing who was with her. She cuddled closer to him and put her head on his chest. She wished this could happen every night. If it did she would be the happiest person alive.

Atsuko nodded and then looked up at him after being enveloped in the hug. Her heart thumpin gin surprise she then held up a finger and tugged at sakamae's sleeve. "Sakamae! Sakamae!" she said excited happieness apparent in her voice. "Come on, Zane reads really great! You've gotta watch!" she said and then pulled him over on the couch and situated herself between the two happily. "Okay ready?"

Yoichi watched with amazement and intrest as Lilly went at it again and then his eyes widened in surprise. "that's amazing! I was watching the whole time!" h exclaimed and then laughed shaking his head. "I don't think I'll ever figure it out." he said and looked at her with care. "You're truly magical Lilly." he said softly and kissed the top of her head softly.

Zane chuckled but was sad to see her pull Sakamae over. He chuckled again just to hide his sadness. "Alright" he said and started reading. He loved hearing Atsuko giggle at his voices. It made him want to read more. Once he was done he smiled down at her. "So how did you like it the second time?" he asked smiling widely at her.

Atsuko clapped for Zander giggling and then looked up at him. "it was great! Zero's soooo dreamy though! Such pretty silver hair!" she said happily and then looked at Sakamae. "like your's Salamae." she said and ran a curious hand threw his hair and she looked at the beautiful hair and his eyes.

((We'll wait for joseph shall we??))

Lilly smiled at Yoichi's amazement. It was an old trick she learned from and old friend. She remembered thetrick, but the friend was just a fading memory. Lilly remembered working so hard at the trick that her fingers were to the point of bleeding, but it was all worth it seeing the look on Yoichi's face. Lilly blushed as Yoichi's lips brushed against her forehead. She stared at him, wondering what feelings he had at this moment.

Kisuke woke up to Isabella snuggling against him. He rubbed his eye and yawned. He patted her on the head and hugged her. "Hey, kid, did ya sleep well?" he said. He looked at her andnoticed she was still wearing the hat. He chuckled at the sight.

((woahhh I think our characters are in different times.))

Isebella keept smiling. "Yes I did but I really think it's because I was finally warm" she said blushing slightly. He had to be the reason she had slept so well. He was just so warm and she felt so safe that she could help but snuggle closer to him.

Sakamae looked up surprised as Atsuko tugged him over to the couch, sitting down next to her. He didn't pay much attention to Zane reading the manga since he already knew what happens, but also because he wasn't used to being so close to Atsuko. A soft blush spreading on his cheeks. Sakamae giggles softly as Atsuko runs a hand through his hair "Hehe" looking back at her "Yeah, Zero was a good character"

Zane chuckled. "Well if you ever want me to read too you just come to my house and I will gladly read any thing to you" he said and wanted to kiss her head so badly. He looked at her smiling. She was so pretty and the cutest thing ever.

Giggling at Sakamae she smiled brighter then the sun. "You should smile more often Sakamae." she said and then looked up at Zander. "Okay! If I have time.... Usually I'm not very lucky to have time like this." she whispered softly and then shook her head and looked down at the ground sadly. Suddenly she yawned as her eyes began drooping and she shook her head like a dog. "Sorry..." she squeeked out as another yawn came.

Zane chuckled. "Why don't you go to bed" he said smiling at her. "I can cary you if you want" he offered hoping she would take that offer. He wondered and longed to know what it was like to carry her and hold her close. He wanted to know but he had a feeling that would never happen.

Takashi looked down at her, calmly and as reserved as ever. Yet feeling the same feeling as Leia inside "It...it was nothing, don't worry about him. What were you doing on the roof?" Meanwhile, Zuka was away from the rest of the world, sitting up against a tree, crying but with a sour look on his face. "Why can't anyone like me?! Why do I have to be the bad guy?!...Damnit....stupid Takashi...."

(Sorry I haven't posted in so long >.< I failzor!!!)

Atsuko smiled tiredly and shook her head at first. Then nodding her head tiredly she gave in. "Okay... Night sakamae...." she whispered tiredly and crawled over to Zane. She then fell onto the coushin next to him and closed her eyes. "Im so tired." she mummbled.

(No you are not. you have just been busy)
Leia smiled and blushed slightly. "Well everybody hates me so I always sit up there to just keep out of everyone's way" she said and sighed. "And what are you doing out?" she asked and her hand brushed Takashi's and she blushed bright red. why is my heart racing so much? she thought as she looked at up at him.

Zane chuckled and picked Atsuko up. He held her close to him and went to her room. He laid her in her bed then tucked her in. "Now sleep tightly you cute little puppy" he said and kissed her forehead.

Atsuko gave a tired squeek as she was picked up and carried off by Zane. She could careless who was carrying her truthfully, since she was so tired. As she then was laid down she just laid there too worn out and too tired to do anything, or say anything about his kiss. She cuddled up in her blankets upon her small small bed and was soon out like a light.

Zane smiled and walked out closing the door behind him. He walked back to his room smiling widely. He hadn't felt this happy in a very long time. He sat on his bed and then laid back just staring at the celling thinking of that little cutie asleep.

Yoichi smiled gently and then looked at Lilly. What was he feeling for her exactly? It seemed like care but something completely differnet at the same time... "So you can sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the floor so you're not uncomforrtqble okay?" he offered after a stressed silence since he had been lost in thought.

Lilly felt Yoichis eyes on her. Though she blushed, she felt so comfortable around him. It seemed as if everything in the world was okay when she was with him. She smiled up at him and held onto his sleeve before he could get himself on the floor. She let her head fall in his lap to keep him there. She never wanted to be separated from him. Lilly shifted her eyes up at him and smiled wider.

Isabella woke and smiled seeing Kitsuke still with her. She cuddled closer to him and kept her eyes closed so it looked like it was she was still sleeping. She was taking it all in. HIs smell it was so amazing.

((Wooops sorry Lele-chan))

Kisuke smiled as Isabella cuddled close to him. He was confused of his feelings, but this felt nice. He, though, felt sort of bad. Because, what if he didn't like Isabella that way? She'd be devistated. He couldn't let her know about that. Kisuke sighed and held her head to his chest.
