Noroi was surprised when he woke for the first time in 5 days since he took in Kiyoko’s injuries.  He hadn’t opened his eyes, but was thing in what he felt and heard.  It was quiet, minus his breathing and humming, and he felt warm.  He soon realized he was in a bed of some sort, and there were blankets over him.  He felt around a bit.  There was something in his bed besides him.  It was warm, soft, and...smoth?  He slowly began to open his eyes.

“NOROI-KUN!!!” a girl yelled in a high pitched voice.  A girl popped out from under the sheets and began to hug him to death.

“Huh!?”

“Noroi-kun!  You’re okay!  I’m so glad!”

“What the?  Who are you?”

“Oh?  I’m Yukiko.  Don’t worry.  I’m an Akari.  You’re at the Asian Branch.” she said still hugging him tightly.

“Oh?  Do I know you?”

“Nope!  Well, I don't thinks so, but I know you!  I know all about you!”  she leaned back a bit.  “Ya know, you’re cuter than in your picture.” she said smiling.

“Uhhh....” he turned red slightly, “I didn’t know I even had a picture.”

“Well, you do!  And you look real cute in it.  But you look way better in the flesh.”

“Uhhhhh.....Wait, who are you?”

“Yukiko Yoshida,” she said smiling, “Great to meet you!”

“Good to meet you...” before he could finish he found that Yukiko was kissing him full on the mouth.  Noroi’s eyes bulged slightly in surprise.  No matter how hard he tried to pry her off of him, she wouldn’t budge.  So he just gave up.

That’s completely normal.  Getting kissed full mouth by someone you literally just meet.  Right?

At that moment,  Kiyoko walked in along with Ian and Daimon.

“Well lookie here!  Just woke up, and he’s already getting to ‘know’ the people here!” Daimon said laughing hysterically.  Yukiko finally separated.  Her face turned bright red.

“Woops.  Sorry about that.  I started this.  Don’t blame him.  I was just excited that he finally woke up.”  She winked and stuck her tongue out a bit.

“Well, seeing as you have met Noroi, why don’cha show him around?”

“Okaies!” she cried happily as she went over to a cabinet.  “Here.  Put these on,” she said as she threw him a new pair of clothes and his jacket.  She went over and leaned on the table.  “What?  Aren’t you going to get dressed?”

“Ummm...You’re still here....”

“Your point? Now, get changed!” she said as she winked at him.

“Uhhhh...okay...”  Getting up, Noroi began to change.  The entire time, Yukiko just stood there humming to herself with her eyes closed.  She opened them after a bit, and found herself looking at Noroi as he put on his shirt and began to button it.

“Man,” she said, “I wish I could get someone like you.”

“Huh?  Like me?  Trust me.  You don’t.  And what is with girls staring at me like that!?” Noroi cried, for he noticed that Yukiko was just staring at him, only half paying attention.  He traced where her eyes would be looking.

Yep.  Just as I thought.  The chest. He thought, as he began to button his shirt faster.  Noroi finished getting dressed, and then walked up to where Yukiko was standing.
