Shikimaru's eye twitched just a bit.

"What? What is it?"

He didn't quite expect to come home to this. His parents told him he was ungrounded, which was nice, and then... well somehow Akemi cleaned his entire room in only the time he was gone!

Even the bed was made!

"Akemi! If my mom see my room, she'll KNOW I didn't do this! I don't clean my room!" She just puffed out her cheeks.

"Well, you can tell her that you just decided to if she asks! I'm not ruining my hard work, and you better thank me as well, dumbass! Seriously, who the hell lives like you do!? I found clothing in the book shelf!!"

"Shhh! Don't be so loud! My mom might hear you! And fine, we'll leave it! And where was this attitude when we first met?" Shikimaru is asking, but he doesn't know why.

Akemi blushes just a bit. "Sorry. People just scare me a bit, so when you showed up, I got really shy and defensively... but once we got close like we are now, I have no problem talking! I'm just not good with people I don't know well..."

Shikimaru have a quick nod, and sat down in his bed. "Makes sense, I guess." He lays down, and closes his eyes.

"Normally I would go to visit you right now. But since you're here, I don't really know what you should do. Im sure you can find something. If my mom comes up, hide. I'm gonna sleep, wake me up if you need anything."

But what am I supposed to do while your sleeping?... hmm...

"Shikimaru! Can I mess with your ninja stuff?"

"Mmm yeah, whatever....zzz..." He's not listening.

Akemi shuffles ovet to the bag Shikimaru has dropped on the ground and starts looking through it.

Well, he did say I can look through it!

•~Akemi POV~•

Wow! These are so cool!

Shikimaru has these really sharp knives! They're so shiny and silver! Maybe just a little touch...

"Ow!"

I suck on my finger. That cut me so easily! How do these things not cut right through this stupid bag?!

I can hear thumps getting closer.

I scramble into Shikimaru's closet, and go dead silent. The door slides open.

•~Yoshino's pov~•

"Ow!"

Huh? What was that?

I swear I just heard a voice from Shikimaru's room! It didn't sound like him... hmmm... it was a lot higher of a pitch, and I swear I heard a thump as well!

I'm just a gonna take a peek.

I walk up the stairs slowly, just to be cautious. I got to his door, and opened it. Shikimaru is sleeping, and I don't see anyone, but his things are spilt on the ground... hmmm...

Well it wouldn't be the first time I came up to a mess in here...wait.

What?

"This rooms so clean! Shikimaru, honey, are you ok?"

He's asleep, and it doesn't look like there's anything wrong... did I imagine it? Maybe. I might just be anxious because of him getting in trouble... who knows, maybe he cleaned up to try and make it up for misbehaving! Yeah! That must be it! I'm his mom, I can trust my some!

Yeah! I'll just let him sleep! Plus, it's dead silent in here anyway. I'll just leave him to rest.

ACHOO!!
