 HI, guys!!! Ready for another part of this chapter?!
 If so, Let's ROCK N' ROLL ...
 `~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`	
	Two glass doors slid open. 
	Usagi paused before stepping in, then looked around frantically
 looking for a certain blonde hair guy who was so cute and nice and
 kind and friendly and pleasant and --	"Konichiwa, Usagi-chan!!!"
	Her heart skipped a beat before turning to the main source of 
 the voice which had just wished her. She was smiling hopefully to
 find Motoki-san there smiling gently back at her. Ah, he's so darn
 cute! She had always knew all along that Motoki-san had a girlfriend
 who is far more beautiful than her, and Motoki-san was just treating
 her as how he treated many other girls who come often to the arcade.
 Like a pet sister. Still, the reason why she's always hanging out in
 the arcade with him is because... because... most of the girls her age
 are already having boyfriends or at least crushes or infatuation on
 tall, dark and handsome guys. She could not stand to be the odd one
 out. She *need* someone, a guy, to have a crush on, rather than being
 said as a klutz or a ditz who will never ever have a boyfriend. She
 hated it when people said that to her. Furthermore, Motoki-san seems
 to be a decent enough to suit her. Not that she asks for much.
	"Hello, earth to Usagi-chan!"  
	She didn't answer him. <It's Motoki-san, the guy you are 
 supposed to have an infatuation on. Come on... answer him! If you want
 his attention, ANSWER him!> Despite of her Common Sense screaming at
 her, she did not WANT to answer him. 
	"Hello, anyone there?" Motoki-san tried moving her shoulders gently.
	<You'll lose him, ditz! You'll surely lose him if you keep
 ignoring him like this...ANSWER him! He's such a nice guy. Don't 
 let him get bored with you, or else, you'll end up alone> She STILL
 won't budge a bit even though her Common Sense is getting quite 
 fed up with her. She just don't understand what possessed her to stay
 unmoving with her eyes closed for a whole 5 minutes now. 
	"Should have guess! First, in the park, now in the arcade! Come
 on Motoki-kun, I guess probably you need an atomic bomb to wake her
 up from her *romantic* dream with Mr. Romeo."
	THAT jerked her up instantly. <That voice...> Her eyes popped
 open and her body alert. 
	There, sitting comfortably on a stool with his chin resting on
 the back of his hand, facing her while smirking all the time, is the 
 same jerk she saw in the park just now! <Wow, am I having a nightmare
 or what?!> She looks at him with pure shock. 
	"What, Odango?! Too surprise to see me?" He grins widely adding,
 "I take 'yes' as an answer from the look on your face."
	She gulped nervously. She just couldn't understand why she is
 feeling so electrify around him now. Everything was all right during
 their first meeting at the park just now. So, why now...? <Ugh, never mind.
 The question now is not 'why'. NOW, the question is, to bolt out of the
 arcade right away to safe yourself or stay here and face the demon?>
	"Aww, you don't have to be so mean to Usagi-chan, right?!" 
 Motoki-san protested good-naturally.
	Ah, that answered her question. She would most definitely stay, 
 for her knight in shining armour was present. <Motoki-san will surely
 protect me from this ghoul. No worries needed. >
	The ghoul, as how she addressed him, ran his hand over his 
 jet-blacked hair, unconsciously sending shivers to the young girl
 who had just came in a few minutes ago, before giving Motoki a  simple answer.
	"Can't I?" He gave a questioning glance to Motoki before 
 averting back his attention to his so-called 'victim'.
	<Argh, why can't he just mind his OWN business. Yeah, he is 
 handsome, but Umino-chan is far more better than this ghoul when
 it comes to manners and behaviour!> Usagi snapped at him angrily,
 voicing her furious thoughts out.
	"Can't you just mind back your own business and stop 
 interfering with my life?! Why are you being such a moron?! Did 
 I ever did anything wrong to you which made you so...so... I don't
 how to say it, but...but... you're being such a jerk!" She found
 it really hard to get angry at him or anybody else for that matter.
 She feels really stupid and silly yelling at him like that no 
 matter what a blockhead he may be. Anger just wasn't her type.
 Still, she refused to apologise even though she feels that maybe
 she was wrong. She doesn't want to apologise since every word
 she uttered just now was quite right too. 
	"Well, that was certainly an outburst from you," he just reply
 with a small smile. He shift to a much more comfortable position on
 the stool then proceed to drink his coffee, which is almost forgotten, 
 as if he did not hear her questions. 
	The forgotten Motoki just watch the play before him with 
 great interest while smiling all the time. He then suddenly noticed
 that Usagi looks like she was about to murder
 the dark-haired guy who seems wasn't paying any attention at her at
 all. She was going to opened her mouth to shout at him for his 
 rudeness when Motoki suddenly chirps in. Ah, Motoki to the rescue.
	"Oh, I see that you two knew each other. Such a coincidence!
 I was about to introduce both of you to each other since both of 
 you are so very important to me. One is my best friend and one is my most
 regular and friendly customer." Motoki said with a cheerful tone.
	Usagi gave the 'jerk' who is still having his back at her an
 icy-glare then mutters under her breath sarcastically, "Whoever
 who wants to meet a monster face-to-face is a true lunatic."
	Fortunately, no one heard her. The 'monster' she is talking 
 about is still slurping his coffee silently.  
	Motoki then continues, "Anyway, I guess that both of you still
 does not know each other's names yet, right?!"
	When he receives silence as the answer, he exclaim with low
 enthusiasm, "Great! Okay, so I assumed the answer is yes, right?!"
	Again, silence.	"HELLO people! Can you both snapped out of it and PAY attention
 at what I'm talking about?!" 
	The raven-haired guy and the blonde girl just bored their
 eyes on Motoki as a response.
	"Good! At least I got your attention! Well, let me proceed with
 the introduction then. This...," he said pointing to the blonde girl,
 "...is Usagi, and this...," pointing to the raven-haired guy, "...is 
 Mamoru!" He ended up with a seemingly satisfied tone.
	After the introduction, Mamoru looked at Motoki for a moment
 before resting his gaze on Usagi who was looking at him. When their
 eyes meet, Usagi suddenly blushed a deep shade of red and smiling
 a small smile before looking down at the arcade floor. She starts
 to finger with her golden curls with Mamoru's gaze still on her.
 At the end of her eyes, she could swore that she saw a grin on his  face.
	Suddenly, without any signs, he called out, "Odango Atama"
	She jerked up once more from her blushing state, "WHAT?!"
	Without moving but still having that silly grin on his 
 face, he replied, "You heard me. I really hope that you didn't actually
 turned your ears into those two meatballs on your head!"
	"These are NOT meatballs!!! How dare you, calling my hair 
 'meatballs'! You... you...MORON!" After that statement, Usagi furiously
 stormed out of the arcade. 	The *long* forgotten Motoki just stood there and
 sighed at the drama which played in front of him a few minutes  ago.
	Trough the two glass doors, Mamoru could still see her walking 
 away always falling a few times after each two steps.
	When she was finally out of view, he turned back to his coffee
 and start slurping silently with a small smile on his handsome features.
