Love Test

	  Part 2. Dinner Fiesta and the beauty of Mochi


		****************Neon's Room*************** 

"Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! 
Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! Keisan Misu!! 
Keisan Misu!!" 

"Kirin!! STUP UP!! You've been Keisan Misu-ing for the past 5 hours 
already!"

"Oh, Neon-chan. Not only has the plan not work but it made the 
situation much wors......SUPREME KEISAN MISU!!!! "

"Come on, no need for tears. It's no big deal. It doesn't hurt that 
much. I have tried it before when training with Raiha." Referring to 
the roundhouse. 

But Kirin cried even harder in her SD form. 


"Even Raiha???? Ohhh.....Poor Neon-chan!! You had to take that insult 
twice??.....Wah!!!!!" 

50 piercing arrows came shooting into Neon's remaining confidence
 for she did not intend to tell Kirin about it. But then she did have
the Shingan so no surprise in that.  
 
"Let's not talk about it again. Since that didn't work, let's simply 
skip the entire seducing thing and get right to the point."

"Ok" replied Kirin, starting to clam down.
"First thing's first. The first criteria in the test was holding hands,
 so we must figure out some plan in order to get our guy to hold our 
hands."

"Hmmm.....I know!!! The classic "getting a cookie and 'accidentally' 
reach at the same time!! You see that a lot in manga ya know." 

"How old fashion and unoriginal." Complained Neon
"Soka......" and they fall into another thinking trance.

" I know!!! Let's try the "getting a mochi then unintentionally and 
elegantly reach at the same time" plan."

"I certainly feel the difference." Replied Kirin sarcastically. 

"Watashiwa tensai desu. AHAHAAHAHHAA. This will work, for sure!! No 
failure." (I am a genius) 

"What are we going to call this plan."

"Let's call this, BOM plan!!!"
"BOM??"
"Beauty of mochi plan!!"

"How beautiful........"


*****************Imagining**************** 

Petals of a sakura tree flies through the refreshing air of spring 
breeze. A couple (will-be) sits shyly on a picnic blanket, a bowl 
of mochi separately them. The red-hair beauty reaches for a mochi 
but feels a strong masculine hand instead. She looks up and sees a 
handsome gaze staring into her eyes. 

"Kurei-sama......"  
"Neon....."        

A mixing of romance and spring breeze welcomes and blesses the newly 
realized relationship of love and loyalty.

********************************

"HAHAHHAHHAHHAAH" 
"Neon-chan.....really lighten up on the imagining thing. It's not very 
mentally healthy.."
"But I won't need to imagine any longer. Today will be the day when my 
dreams shall come true." 
"But we are not even going to a picnic trip....."
"But Kirin.....opportunities are everywhere as long as you are aware 
of it......Let's go now, my companion....dinner time is here and so is 
our victory. I have already rigged the place. It will be a camping 
setting type of dinner where food gets passed around. Since you can 
read minds, all you have to do is read Kurei-sama's mind and tell me 
telepathically what he's going to reach for. And when he reaches for it
, I'll have my hand there before him so our hands will overlap."
"A slight warni......" But before Kirin could give her the warning, 
Neon already jetted out of the room to the dining room. 

	**************Dinning Room***********

Dinner as usual was quite a loud and clamorous event with multiple 
conversations and activities going on at once.  Mokuren and Mikoto 
are busy occupying themselves with feeding each other, Raiha and Jisho 
were talking about battle tactics while the others were busy eating 
their food, especially Kirin, who eats the most and basically anything.  

 ' Yata. All I have to do is wait for Kurei-sama to reach for 
something.....But what is taking Kirin so long!!!!'

' The pork dish to the left!!' told Kirin telepathically 

Without thinking, Neon reaches for the pork and feels a hand under 
hers.
 It was a lot smaller than what she thinks it would feel; Lacked a bit 
of masculinity but felt warm and.......a bit wrinkly, nevertheless 
it was Kurei-sama so a feeling of satisfaction and happiness fills her 
as her face flushed and her heart beats rapidly against her chest. 

'"Neon......I never knew you felt that way..... " 

The raspy and old voice woke Neon from her dreaming state and it was 
most definitely not Kurei. A dread and cold feeling washes through her
mind as she looks up to find an old decrepit face with wrinkles, inches
 apart from her. A rather bald head compared to Kurei but it was still 
plentiful since it was long and tied in a white ponytail.

'Ugly + Old + Wrinkles= Old hentai therefore is not Kurei-sama= 
Molester= BEAT HIM UP' 

Female instincts took over as Neon's natural reflex swung her fist into
 an uppercut.

"WAH!!!!!!!"  Genjuroh was knocked out cold, and stuck in the cement 
wall. Neon flared with anger as she turned around to glare at Kirin. 

"I'm shocked!!! I always have known you for bad taste, but this......
And you call me a horny bitch.....hypocrite." Said Mikoto 

"Neon-san....is something wrong?? For you......or anyone to act like 
that must be something terrible!" commented Jisho

"You don't have to insult and comfort yourself like that just because 
you feel so unworthy of my love, Neon-han." said Joker in his heavy 
accent. 

"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 
Neon angrily sat down into her chair and gave everyone the death glare.
 Knowing better than to offend her or any Uruha female, they all sat 
back down into their activities. 

'Gomen, Gomen!! Neon-chan. There's too many people around, and too many
 thoughts at once, I can't distinguish them from Kurei-sama's.'

'Kirin, I'm going to fry you alive!!!!' 

'Gulp........'


Several minutes after.......

 'Hurry Neon-chan, the soup.'

Without thinking and knowing Kurei-sama's speed, Neon dashed her hand 
out at full force, to grab for the soup but forgetting the serving 
spoon......

'Kurei-sama's hand is so....tender....so flexible.....so.....' 
There was a little something else Neon couldn't really put into words..


"Neon-chan....your hand....." whispered Kirin with her hand over her 
mouth

'Is it overlapping Kurei-sama's hand?????' asked Neon telepathically 
to Kirin.

"Neon, you are contaminating the soup....." said Kurei

"What did you say,  Kurei-sama...."  She asked sweetly.
Words just couldn't not explain the situation, so Kurei simply pointed 
to her hand which was in the soup......

"ITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 
Neon pulled her hand out with "Kurei's Hand" and dunks it into the cold
 fruit punch.

"If you wanted the lobster, you could have used the serving spoon, you 
know." Said Kurei.

"Awwww.....Neon-san....I wanted some of that fruit punch....." 
complained Raiha.

"I swear, Kirin. You are so dead!!" answered Neon, removing her hand 
from the fruit punch, and drags Kirin from the table.

"But I'm still hungry!!"
"Don't worry, I'll feed you with my special recipe....
knuckle sandwiches...."

"Help !!!!! She's gone mad!!!"  


***************Storage room***********

	"Please, Neon-chan. I really didn't mean it. And besides, it 
wasn't my fault. Who would have thought you would put your entire hand
 into the soup." Squealed Kirin, tied up and hanging from the storage 
room. 
	
	"Kirin!! What do you mean it's not your fault!! You made me 
mortified not only in front of everybody but in front of Kurei-sama as
 well!!" replied Neon locking a death grip on Kirin's neck. 
	
"I don't care what you do, just fix this entire mess!!" Neon stormed 
out of the room leaving Kirin behind. 

"Wait, Neon-chan!! The least you can do is untie me!! WAIT!! 
Keisan MISU!!!!!"


          **********the next morning***********
	


After spending another night tied up until Joker found her the next 
morning, Kirin took that time and came up with another plan to hold 
Rasen's hand. Once free, she dashed out of the storage room to start 
her plan. 
	
'here he comes........'

"Rasen-sama!!! Ohiyo!!!" 

[Abe Moleste] ('go away you pest' in latin)

"Rasen-sama, can I ask you a favour?"

[No]

"But I just wanted you to arm wrestle me."

[No]

"Please??!!"

[No]

"Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

[No]

"I promise to be a good girl."

[No]

Rasen obviously wasn't in a good mood for he just got up and was still 
in his pajamas. But this most certainly would not stop Kirin as she 
followed him through the halls after his rejection until Rasen suddenly
 stopped.

[Move out of the way]

"NO!"

[Would you like to come in with me then?] points Rasen to the washroom 
door behind Kirin. Kirin's face flushed a bright tomato red, 
understanding the implication. 

"No.....no....that's not what I mean.....and I still won't move until 
you arm wrestle me!"

[Move] replied Rasen, starting to feel a major urge to have a release 
in the bath room. 

"NO!!"

[Now! Kirin.]

"NO!! I won't let you through until you arm wrestle me!!!"

[no, I won't arm wrestle you, now go away]

"Over my dead body!!"

[Ok] since Rasen was getting desperate, he simply punched Kirin out 
cold as he stepped over her body.

"whoa......so many Rasen-samas...haha......" 


**********Den of the Mansion*********

After losing Kirin at the bath room, Rasen proceeded to the Den to 
listen to one of Raiha and Jisho's conversations. They were very 
useful due to the types of battle situations mentioned in them.  As he
 sat down, he noticed a magazine with lots of scribbling on it. 

{Must be Kirin's writing....who else writes so horribly} he thought to 
himself. 

He picked it up and looked at the page that it was turned at.

8-7 yes: he's interested
6-5 yes: friendship (some possibility)
4-2 yes: plain friendship (maybe a little worse than that too)
0-1 yes: he hates you
_______________________________


"You know, she is just trying to show you how much she cares." 
Quipped Raiha.
"And I'm sure you don't hate her......and imagine a life without her." 
"Just give her some assurance......doesn't have to be big."

[I don't even know what you are talking about] wrote Rasen on a piece 
of paper due to his inability to speak then left the den immediately 
with a thousand thoughts in mind. 

{A life......without her....Kirin...}


********************

As he exited the den, his nightmare caught up with him.

"PLEASE, Rasen-sama!! Just once!!! Once is enough and I'll go away for
 the rest of the day!!!!! I won't even play my drum set for the day!!!"

[N.....Deal....] replied Rasen after some hesitation.

They took the nearby table and settled their elbow on it. 
'YES!!!! I'm gonna hold Rasen's hand now!!'

Just as she was about to reach for Rasen's hand, all Kirin found was
 an outstretched pinky waiting for her.

"But.....but...but I wanted to hol..I mean...wrestle you fairly with 
one hand!!"

[It takes less than that to defeat you in an arm wrestle, however,
 this is the smallest unit of power that I could offer.] 

"But but but......"
[If you are not going to wrestle now, I'll leave. ]

"NONONONONONONONO"  and without hesitation, Kirin took the pinky. 
It was exactly how she has imagined it....warm and strong but before 
she could enjoy the moment further a huge thud has rung on the table.

[I win]

"I wasn't even ready yet and you didn't tell me to start!!!"

[I have fulfilled my part of the deal, now leave and don't forget your 
promise]

Rasen started to leave with a very disappointed Kirin at the end.

**
"She just wanted to show how much she cares about you"
"Imagine a life without her....."
** 

He turned around and felt a tugging at his heart. Kirin was leaving 
quietly and very slowly. She looked gravely disappointed as a sad 
expression spreads over her face, an expression that Rasen has never 
seen before.  As if something tore at his heart....Rasen suddenly felt
.....sad.....something he doesn't recognize and haven't felt for years.

{What am I thinking? I don't have emotions. I don't need anyone and 
it is a good thing she leaves; I can finally have a quiet day without 
that imbecile going 'Rasen-sama this, Rasen-sama that'. No one to 
follow me around all the time, no one to embarrass me with stupidity 
and immaturity.....and I'll be..alone.....} 

Kirin turned at the corner, about to disappear from Rasen's sight as 
she has promised and he knows that he wouldn't be able to find her 
since she was able to hide her ki, like him.

{Disappear.......}

[By the way, you don't have to leave for the rest of the day. I have to
 go get something outside.....you.......want to come?]

"Re..really??? I can come???" she faced lightened as she turned around,
 filled with hope, the Kirin that he knew.

{She's so cute when she smiles}

[If you want to.]

"YEA!!!!!! Where are we going???" 

[MacDonalds....and I'm just bringing you because I can't order by 
myself]

{I know how much she loves MacDonalds.......especially those happy 
meals and toys that comes with it. Maybe I should get her that 
aerodactyl thing whatever you call it}

And so Kirin left with Rasen happily to MacDonalds on their first short
trip together. Even though it was just for a brief moment with Rasen's
 pinky, it still meant a lot to Kirin as she added 2 yes to her score,
 one for holding his hand/pinky and one for the short trip, mentally, 
rising to "Plain Friendship (maybe a little worse than that)" on the 
test.

[Why are you smiling so goofy?]
"Nothing at all.....I'm just.....happy...."

{I'm glad you are} he thought to himself, not letting Kirin know.


***********One of the halls in the mansion*******


	"Kurei-sama....." sighed Neon as she drags herself through the 
corridor. With all the disappointments and embarrassment from the past
 2 days have, Neon have been driven into another depression. Poor 
Neon.......

"he must hate me now!! And it's all Kirin's fault!! Baka Kirin!!"

"Neon......." 

A smooth deep voice startled her, as her turned around to 
greet.......Kurei?!

"Ku.....kurei-sama......" 

Without a thought, Kurei takes Neon by the hand and gently tugs her to 
follow him. Guiding her through the mansion, they finally arrived at 
the rose garden where they first met. 

"Here....." Kurei reached out and passed Neon a small package. 

"For.....me??'

"Take it. Sorry for being so rude yesterday." He takes her hand and 
secures the present in her palm. 

"Na.....nademonai....." (It's nothing) 

"Ja......"
"Jane....and arigatou, Kurei-sama."


************In Neon's room **********

"Yes Yes YES!!!!!!!! My 2nd present which was given in privacy!! And 
he held my hand!!!! That's 5 yes which puts me in the category of 
'friendship' with some possibility on the test!!. And he said sorry 
to me!! Aw.....I knew you liked me Kurei-sama!!!" 

"Congratulations, Neon-chan !! and you're not mad at me anymore, 
right?"

"No, of course not. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I'll be getting
 this present!!" 

"YEA!!!! Why don't you open it, Neon-chan and see what's inside."

"Is it a diamond ring?? A necklace? A ruby??? I'm sooooo 
excited......" hummed Neon as she carefully unwrapped her present, 
feeling a plastic package underneath. She took it out and.......

Neon was left with a wry smile, unsure to be happy or depressed......
but remembering the cause for this embarrassment in the first place,
 she turned and glared at Kirin.
 Poor Neon-chan. At least she has someone to take her angry out on
.....another night at the Uruha mansion.....except for a certain
 racket of .......

			KEISAN MISU!!!!!!!!!!!! 
........Throughout the night.
