A/N:

Gomen for the inconsistent updates T^T. I usually drag myself out from the bed since I'm quite lazy. ^-^; And also, I was busy watching anime... Um... It's... Idol Time PriPara... *gets flustered* D-Don't ask why... Okay? *mumbles* Shougo-kun is cute... >.<

I wonder if he and Lala will be... Um... OTP... But I guess not since Shougo-kun is some year higher than Yui, and Yui's in the same grade as Lala... *sigh*

Wait... Now that I think about it, it means that the anime might have no romance! Yui's young outside PriPara... PriPara got my hopes up for a moment... T^T But we don't know what twist comes. It says Idol Time, so maybe Yui will get older and romance begin? Or Lala will get back to normal? We'll never know until the anime progresses.

Sorry for ranting though! I just have too many questions regarding the anime. ^^;

I was running out of ideas on the last chapter, so sorry if it was quite random... T^T

Hope you enjoy the chapter~! ^^

Additional Note: T^T Help meeehhhh! Otome-chan sleeps now in midnight due to many projects... So I didn't update a lot since my time gets wasted for projects... *sigh* Its three days straight! On Monday, I slept at 11:40, then on Tuesday, I slept on 12:30, almost 1:00 in the morning, and on Wednesday, I slept on almost 2:00 in the morning since I forgot to make an assignment and I slept on it.  Save me!! (I need your love before I fall~) ._. Hm, I made a Kpop reference again...

~~~

I woke up the next day in my room.

Ouch, my head hurts... What happened yesterday?? I thought. I tried remembering what happened yesterday...

Oh, I actually got defeated by that Water Girl... But, Yuuto-kun made us run away... Oh wait, WHERE'S YUUTO?!

I panicked. He better be safe! I should check on him! I-It's not like I like him or anything, I'm just worried!

I was about to go outside when... The door suddenly opened.

"Ittai!" I exclaimed while rubbing the part of my forehead that got bumped by the door. WHO OPENED THE DOOR?!

"Ehhh?! Gomen Yumi-chan!" I recognize that voice. Yuuto-kun!

I look up to see Yuuto –kun covered with almost-healed bruises. I instantly hugged him. I felt him flinch at the hug, but he then relaxed.

"You made me worry, Yuuto-kun! Don't you even dare do that again!" I exclaimed. I then released him from the hug.

"You're... Worried?" Yuuto asked in shock. "For me?"

I then became flustered. T-Those words just came out of my mouth! Yumi, think before you act! I can feel the teasing coming after this!

"N-no, I am not worried about you!"

"But you just said it a while ago." He said innocently. "So you care!"

"N-no I don't..."

"Yes, you do!"

"N-no I don't."

"Yes you do!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"No!"

"Yes!" My eyes widened at what I said.

"See! You care Yumi-chan!" He said in victory. "And maybe you like us!"

"NO!" I exclaimed with a red face. "You tricked me!!"

"So... If you don't care..."

He went nearer to my face with a small smile/smirk and he leaned a little too close for comfort. I feel my face being hot as lava... W-What are you doing?!

As I panicked, I did the first thing that came to my mind, and that is...

*smack*

"Ittai!! Why did you do that Yumi-chan?!" Yuuto whined and rubbed his head.

Heh, it worked. My hitting-him-on-the-head method worked! ^^

"You do know that I just protected you yesterday from the attack, don't you?!" He continued to whine.

Ehhhhh?! I forgot about that one!! >.<

"Gomen Yuuto-kun!!" I apologized and went over to him. "D-does it hurt?!"

"Yes! It does!!" Why do I feel something off from his voice?

"What can I do Yuuto-kun?!" I panicked. "Where?!"

I can see a little ghost smirk on his feature. He rubbed his head to indicate pain on that part.

"It hurts here Yumi-chan!" He whined. "Please kiss it to make it feel better----" -_-

*smack*

"Get out of my room now." I deadpan. "We still need to go to school."

"But Yumi-chan!!" He whined. "It's just a friendly kiss for my head that you've smacked! So please~"

His face was like (>^3^)> he's making (adorable) kissy faces

"Do you want me to add more bruises on you Yuuto?" My tone started to get deadly.

"... Just as what I've said Yumi-chan, I'm alright!" He chuckled nervously and went out the room.

Is he really bruised or what? -_-

~Timeskip~

We went to school, and were instantly welcomed by everyone---- wait, where's Kaito?

Sensing my thoughts, Daichi-kun replied. "Kaito is joining an archery competition happening today. He's preparing himself for the finals."

"EH?!" Yuuto exclaimed. "How come we aren't informed about this??"

"You weren't here last week, remember?" Yuki reminded. "It was just announced last week."

"When and where will it be held?" Yuuma asked.

"Today and here at school." Shinju-san replied. "We will have no class in the morning since the archery competition will take up half of the day."

"In the afternoon?" I asked.

"Classes with Meanie-sensei... T~T" Miki said. "Why is Science class a class on the afternoon?!"

"But for the meantime..." Taiyou said. "Let's show him support!"

"How?" I asked.

"By..." Shinju fished something out of the bag. "This!"

She got a blue glow stick. What? She's bringing that in school?

"Um... We're going to use glow sticks?" I asked while sweatdropping.

"Whoops! Ehehehe..." Shinju put the glow stick back in her bag. "I mean this!"

She then grabbed a banner. What the--?! It's so big!

"And this!"

She grabbed a bandana with Kaito-kun's picture as a print. She put it in her forehead along with the others (except for Daichi, Yukio, Masami, Yuuma, Yuuto, and I). They also took some signs that says, 'Go Kaito-kun!' 'Fighting!' and many others.

I felt my soul being sucked out of me. They're embarrassing themselves in front of other schools!

"Masami!" Ayako whined. "Wear the bandana and show some support!"

"How did I get friends with them again?" I heard Masami mumble. I snickered. She got one of those and wore it.

"You too Yuuto-kun!" Ayako said.

I wonder if he'll accept...

"Sure!" Yuuto took one enthusiastically and wore it. I sweatdropped.

"You Yuuma! You should too!" Ayako added.

I smirked. Heh, good luck with that----

"Sure." He replied and got one for himself. I gaped at him. Seeing this, he smirked.

"What? Do you think I'll be a bad friend?"

"N-no..."

"Yay! The twins joined us! You should too Yumi-tan!" Ayako cheered.

"N-no thanks."

"Wahhhhh!!! You three are party poopers!" Ayako exclaimed while pointing a finger at me, Daichi, and Yukio.

"Childish." Daichi muttered. But Miki already crept on his back and...

"Gotcha!" Miki said then tied the bandana at Daichi's forehead before he could even react.

Daichi just sighed and reached out to untie the bandana but...

"Don't you even dare take that Daichi..." Shinju said, her voice being deep and scary. Daichi sweatdropped and just stay put.

Next, Yuki crept at Yukio's back and tied the bandana.

"Yuki----"

"You owe me Yukio." Yuki didn't even made Yukio finished. Yukio just huffed and crossed his arms.

"That leaves you Yumi-chan!" Shou-kun exclaimed.

They forced my other companions! Help! Retreat, retreat! I said while backing away from them.

But a certain redhead just had to move swiftly.

I can feel some cloth on my forehead. I looked at my back to see Taiyou-kun just centimeters away from my face. My face immediately turned red and he only smirked at me. Did he notice how close our faces are?!

"And done!" Taiyou exclaimed after putting the bandana on my forehead. "It's not that bad! You look cooler!"

He then ruffled my hair.

"T-Thank you..." I thanked.

"EHHHH?! What's this?!" Yuuto exclaimed. "When we compliment Yumi-chan, she just says 'Shut up!' while if the others compliment you, you reply 'Thank you!'! It's unfair!"

That just made my face redder than Yuuma's hair.

"YUUTO!!" I chased him, but he already took off.

"You'll never catch me!!" He laughs as I angrily chase him.

"Those two..." Yuuma muttered under his breath.
