And then there was the matter of Tasuke. She still hadn't given him an answer. She wasn't sure what answer to give him. Leisan had warned her already about giving Harumi something else to flip out over. But Harumi hadn't been in school for a week, not since the attack last weekend. But, she didn't actually like him in that sort of way, and it would be cruel to give him the wrong idea. On the other hand, she'd hate to hurt his feelings by turning him down...
She shook her head. What did she care whether his feelings got hurt? He was just a strange Earth boy. She probably wouldn't ever see him again once this mission was over.
"Ara-san!"
She paused in her tracks, recognizing the voice instantly. The tanned boy with ragged black hair caught up to her easily. "The truth is," Tasuke started, "there's something--"
"Ma-samaaaaa!" Malanya didn't have time to respond as Aya bodily tackled her, knocking her to the ground and causing her to skid across the floor.
"--I wanted to talk to you about," Tasuke continued, unaware he was talking to empty air. Then it hit him. "Huh? Ara-san?" He looked around, finding the tall blonde pushed against the wall, Aya snuggling against her midsection. "Is this a bad time?"
"Not at all," Malanya somehow managed, trying to get air back in her lungs.
(Countdown--2k)
