Illusion of Years

Chapter 5

Kessa: Hey guys, worry about the wait, life's been hectic, and since I got a job, I've had less time for writing.

Mai: You should really let Naru free... he's been in that closet for a while now...

Kessa: Meh, he'll be fine. Lin's been feeding him and such. If he apologizes for his disrespectful attitude, I might let him go.

Naru: I'm sorry that you were offended by the truths that I spoke. It's not my fault that you can't take the honesty.

Kessa: That's it! you just earned another three months in that chair, and if anyone feeds you without permission, they'll join in your punishment.

Naru: (eyes go wide in shock, and begins freaking out) Noooooooooooooo! Please! Not another three months! I've been wearing these clothes for so long!

Kessa: Then apologise for your insocolent behavior.

Mai: That will never wor...

Naru: I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I'm so sorry! Just let me out!

Mai:

Mai: I didn't expect that. That must have been worse than it looked... Anyway, let's get on with the story. Kessapearl does not own anything except the story ideas for this.

Previously on IOY: Mai was pulled off her train of thought to hear their dear, dear class rep yelling at the fake upperclassman. She wasn't quite sure what she missed, but it seems like it was somewhat important.

"Did you put them up to this?!" The class rep asked angrily.

And she strikes again Mai thought, halfway between exasperated and amused. She wouldn't lie that she wasn't at least slightly curious to how Shibiya-san would react to this. She had a feeling it would be slightly entertaining, and her feeling g wasn't wrong.

"Excuse me," Shibuya began, "but I don't believe that I have yet learned your name."

The look on the class rep's face was hysterical, a mix of shock, anger, and absolute confusion, and it took all of Mai's control not to bust out laughing.

"That doesn't matter! Just answer the question!" she spluttered, her face turning a rosey red in embarrassment.

Shibuya-san seemed indiffernt to her actions, but one look into his eyes, and you could practically feel his annoyance. After a few moments os Shibuya staring her down, and a semi akaward silence, the class rep stormed away, realising that questioning him would give her no answers.

Finally a voice whispered in the back of Mai's mind, punctuated with a sigh. She recognised it, but it had no place in her mind. She quickly build a mental wall between the origin of that voice and her thoughts as protection from the unknowing intruder.

She glanced up at the cause of her inner commotion, the man who had introduced himself as Kazuya Shibuya.

Kessa: And... CUT! I'm so sorry about how long the took, and how short it is, after the first computer fail, I got my mom's old one and started writing on that, then it stopped charging, and now I'm left with only my phone to update on, which everyone knows is a major pain. I decided in the end to give you guys the other half of last chapter, seeing as how the next chapter would be hard to type up right now, but I'll try to get that out next month. by the way, does anyone know the class rep person's name? I don't quite remember it...

Anyway, thank you all so much for your continued support, and for your reviews, I love reading them, and they really do help motivate me.

You

guys are awesome.
