• Leiko woke up in a trance everyday for the rest of the week, she couldn’t focus in class all she could do was sit at her desk and daydream about Suichi and the kiss that they shared.

    “Leiko, what’s gotten into you?” Kinoko asked one day at lunch, Leiko smiled and shook her head

    “Nothing…” Kinoko gave her a sarcastic look

    “It doesn’t look like nothing, now spill” Kinoko demanded, Leiko smiled and nodded

    “Alright, but you can’t tell anyone…Suichi and I kissed” Leiko said in a hushed voice

    “Are you serious!” Kinoko exclaimed happily

    “You two what?” Yuki exclaimed from behind Leiko, Leiko quickly turned around to see Yuki and her two friends standing behind her carrying their trays of food

    “You want to say that one more time for me, I must have something in my ears” Yuki said angrily as she clenched her fist around the sides of her tray, her knuckles turning a pure shade of white.

    Yuki cornered Suichi in the hallway next to his locker as he was gathering his things to head home so that he could get ready for his study session with Leiko

    “Hey Suichi…” Yuki swooned, Suichi turned around to bid her ‘hello’ but was immediately plunged into a deep kiss by Yuki, Leiko turned the corner heading for home and her eyes fell on Yuki and Suichi kissing and she immediately took off running the other way.

    Suichi pushed Yuki off and gave her an angry look

    “I’m sorry Yuki but I’m not interested…I actually like Leiko, a lot” Yuki’s jaw dropped

    “Are you serious?! She’s not popular and she’s ugly” Yuki explained, Suichi shook his head

    “No, actually…she hides her beauty from horrible girls like you! Why don’t you go with Meicho, he seems to like you a lot” Suichi tried with a polite smile as he closed his locker and headed for home.

    Yuki entered the bathroom and immediately the sound of someone crying in the stall met her ears

    “Is there someone in here?!” Yuki called out as she went to the mirror to check her appearance, Leiko came out of the stall with her eyes red from crying and her nose was pint from the fluids that were emanating from her body

    “You win Yuki…” Leiko cried, Yuki looked at her confused

    “What are you talking about?” Yuki asked, Leiko glared at her savagely

    “I saw you and Suichi kissing, you win…he’s all yours…” Leiko exclaimed as she stormed from the bathroom, Yuki’s confused face immediately transformed into one of satisfaction

    “This could work in my favor…” Yuki smirked.

    Suichi walked up Leiko’s porch and knocked on the front door to which a red eyed messy haired Leiko met him

    “Yes?” Leiko asked sarcastically, Suichi looked at her confused

    “We have a study date tonight” Suichi smiled as he held up his stack of books for her to see, Leiko scoffed

    “Well…sorry but I’m sick….go away” Leiko said angrily as she slammed the door in his face; About twenty minutes later Suichi was back at Leiko’s door and when she answered he held out a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup to make her feel better, Leiko looked down at the bowl and then at Suichi smiling triumphantly

    “No…Thanks…I don’t like ‘traitor’ stew” Leiko yelled as she slammed the door accidentally spilling the soup all over the porch

    “But it’s chicken noodle…not Traitor soup…or whatever” Suichi called after her, but to no avail, Suichi trudged home, defeated.

    “I don’t know what’s going Kouji, the other day we kissed and it looked like we were finally going to date and then yesterday she slams the door in my face like she wants nothing to do with me…” Suichi complained as he leaned against his locker, Leiko had called out sick, Kouji shrugged his shoulders and went on about his business like usual

    “I don’t know Suichi, maybe something happened” Kouji nodded as Yuki wandered by gossiping with her friends, Suichi glared at her

    “I’ll bet it did…” Suichi frowned as he stepped in front of Yuki and because she wasn’t watching where she was going, she bumped into him

    “Watch where your going yo….oh Suichi…hi, it’s ok…I wasn’t watching where I was going” Yuki smiled gracefully as she twirled her long blonde hair in between her fingers innocently

    “What did you do to Leiko?” Suichi demanded, Yuki looked taken aback

    “I would never!” Yuki defended as Kouji stepped in

    “Yea, like you would never put raw fish in her locker? Or put ketchup on her underwear so that it looked like she soiled herself?” Kouji announced in the middle of the hall, all the passers by started laughing

    “Where did you hear such a horrible thing?!” Yuki pretended, Suichi narrowed his eyes at her

    “Don’t play games Yuki, your fake charm may work on everyone else in this school but it won’t work with me” Suichi said angrily, Kouji nodded in agreement, Yuki stuck up her nose

    “I don’t know what your talking about and I don’t appreciate you accusing me of things that I had no part in” Yuki said poised on her pedestal as she walked away with her lackeys in tow.

    Leiko stayed at home all day crying and complaining to Biru, Leiko convinced Sota that she was sick because she couldn’t face Suichi at school. After school Kinoko came to make sure that she was okay and to bring her some of her mom’s home made chicken noodle soup

    “Thanks…” Leiko frowned as she took the bowl and started eating the warm soup

    “So what’s going on? I can tell that your not sick…” Kinoko frowned at her concerned

    “I saw Suichi and Yuki kissing yesterday and I didn’t want to face him at school yet…” Leiko said as she put a large spoonful of noodles in her mouth, Kinoko smiled

    “Wow, she will do anything…won’t she?” Kinoko hung her head

    “What do you mean?” Leiko asked as she shoveled more soup into her mouth

    “Well, it’s completely obvious that from the way he treated her at school today that he doesn’t even want anything to do with her, I’ll bet Yuki planned that kiss and that is was one sided…” Kinoko put a finger into the air smiling at Leiko, Leiko shook her head

    “No, she’s prettier then me…of course he wants her…” Leiko said sadly as she looked down at the half full bowl of soup and watched as it bubbled in her hand a little

    “What are you talking about?! That’s it…this has been long overdue…I’m going to give you a make-over and tomorrow, you’re going to make Suichi drop dead…” Kinoko smiled as she got up to start the process.

    “Master, who shall I send after them next?” asked the disheveled figure kneeling before the large shadow that was the Dark Master

    “Send Lust or Pride after them, just to test their power…we already know that they were strong enough to beat Gluttony, but know this Greed…if the seven of you fail…I will not be lenient on your punishments in hell…” stated the Dark Master as he vanished in a large display of dark energy

    “Yes…of course Master…” Greed replied as he smiled and his one browning tooth shimmered in the dim light.
