Chapter 1: One Month

"Auntie is interviewing mother on her show tonight, so we have the place to ourselves until about 11."

"Okay."

Koutaru was over at Misaki's. They were planning to watch a movie in her room - Shouko and Shuuko (A/N - gosh, such similar names!) had pooled together their money to buy her a T.V. and DVD player for her birthday. When they got to her bedroom and sat down on the bed, Koutarou pulled out a small box.

"It's our one-month anniversary," He said. He grinned. "Tamayo says that's important. Ohjiro took her out for a fancy dinner and a movie. I'm afraid I don't have that kind of money, but... I made this for you." He passed her the box.

Inside was a tiny, beautifully crafted little bed. It was the perfect size for...

"Hikaru!" Misaki exclaimed. Fetching her from the dresser, Misaki tucked Hikaru under the hand-sewn covers and placed the bunk gingerly on the bedside table.

"Koutarou-chan..."

Koutarou laughed lightly and tickled her.

"Miskichi, stop calling me that! We're dating!"

She giggled. "Okay... Thank you, Koutarou!"

"You're welcome. Now, let's watch that movie, shall we?"

When Shouko and Shuuko got home, they went in search of Misaki. They found her curled up on her bed with Koutarou, (A/N - don't get any nasty ideas!) his arms wrapped lightly around her, both fast asleep. Grinning, the sisters turned off the T.V. and the lights and left the couple alone.

REVIEEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!! Please?!? I live for them. You would make my month. I'd be like Christmas come early! All giddy and everything! Next chapter: "Hatoko's two new idols".

...Okay. I realize the first... seven or eight chapters aren't so great. I wrote them a year ago. Bear with them, read them through, and better things shall come. I'm a better writer now. I promise, bear with me and sunnier days shall come. And bring with them longer better chapters.
