The Bunnies are Hiding Hand in Hands Misaki and Hatoko slept better then usual that night, both secured in the hearts that finally there was someone for them. The rain that had started during evening time continued into the morning, blocking the sun with large dark grey clouds that poured water down upon the house of Hatoko's family. Misaki woke up to find herself in a strange room. Then she remembered that she was at Hatoko's house. Hatoko. She jumped out of bed fully dressed and started for the door, in which Hatoko opened at the same time. She stepped in and closed the door behind her. "Hatoko-chan!" exclaimed Misaki in her cute high voice. Hatoko smiled and ran up to her. She embraced Misaki in a hug. "Misaki-chan, breakfast is almost ready, so prepare to go in undercover mode." replied Hatoko in a soft, happy voice. Misaki smiled and acknowledged Hatoko. Hatoko let go of Misaki and grabbed her hand. She put on a little kid attitude and pulled Misaki along to the dining room/kitchen for breakfast. Today was a work day for Hatoko's parents so they weren't around to eat breakfast with them, but Kotarou and Tamayo were there scarfing down breakfast. Side by side mind you. Misaki and Hatoko sat down on the other side of the table and placed food on their plates from the covered pots on the table. It wasn't to fancy... more like fend for yourself or go hungry, but Misaki couldn't complain; the food was excellent. "Misakachi, your Aunt called, they'll be out another day." informed Tamayo as she swallowed a mouth full of food. "Ya, they figured you might want to spend the day with us because at home you wouldn't have anything to do," continued Kotarou. He drained his glass of orange juice. "Oh, ok. Thanks." replied Misaki. She began to eat her breakfast, and found that Hatoko was nearly squirming in her seat with excitement. The only reason why Kotarou and Tamayo didn't notice was because they were looking deep into each's eyes once again. Misaki and Hatoko noticed and silently giggled as they finished their breakfast. When they were finished Misaki removed the salmon from the fridge. "Hatoko-chan, will you please get me the ingrediants for my salmon sandwiches?" asked Misaki. Hatoko set her plate in the sink and gathered the items that Misaki whould use to make the sandwiches as Kotarou and Tamayo looked over to Misaki with eyes wide open and noses sniffing. "Salmon sandwiches!?!?!" exclaimed Tamayo. "I know it's not polite to make a guest work, but Suzuhara wants to... and the sandwiches are the greatest... I can't stop her..." grinned Kotarou. Ten minutes later the sandwiches were finished and Misaki put them into the fridge for later. Hatoko cleaned up quickly and grabbed Misaki's hand yet again. She dragged Misaki out of the kitchen. Right before she left she stuck out her tongue at Kotarou and Tamayo as they watched the parade of the Dueses. Misaki realized what was going on and after Hatoko closed the kitchen door they raced hand in hand to Misaki's guest room, shutting her door behind them as well. "You should put on clean clothes Misaki-chan, those are the ones from last night," grinned Hatoko. She went to get the clothes that Misaki had laid out the night before on her desk and handed them to Misaki. Misaki looked down at her shirt. She saw the nearly invisible stains from her tears. she nearly ripped her shirt off, wanting to shed herself of the memories of last night of crying. Hatoko realized why Misaki was so quick to remove her shirt and smiled. "Poor Misaki-chan, she had to go through that," thought Hatoko, "although now, she won't ever have to go through that again..." Misaki finished changing and she placed the dirty clothes into a cloth bag in her little suit case on wheels. "Well its raining today isn't it... there goes the park idea." said Misaki. She sat down on her bed. "And the Piffle Princess is closed for remodeling to... it's going to take me years to catch up!" added Hatoko. "Guess we're stuck here then..." continued Misaki. "Yup..." replied Hatoko. They both grinned big grins and giggled a bit before a knock was heard on the door. They looked towards the door as it opened to reveal Kotarou and Tamayo standing there. A few minutes passed. "Well come in..." said Misaki. They entered reluctantly, expecting Hatoko to do something wierd, at least in their eyes since Misaki already knew that Hatoko was a goofball at heart, even when helping a friend. Kotarou never realized it because he never needed his sister's help. "Umm... we were just gonna stay here today because it's raining..." said Tamayo. She was hold Kotarou's hand. "I suppose you want to spend it with Kotarou-kun then?" probed Misaki. "Ya. I mean, umm..." Tamayo and Kotarou grew red in the face and looked at the ground. Misaki and Hatoko giggled. "Fine then. I'll spend the day with Misaki-chan. Now shoo and do that wierd stuff else where!" and with that Hatoko pushed them outside and closed the door. She could hear them whispering outside. They said something funny, and Hatoko laughed loudly. "Ahh! Hatoko-chan heard!" exclaimed Kotarou. He and Tamayo ran off. Misaki didn't know what happened, and she had no time to think about it as Hatoko jumped onto her and pressed her against the bed. "You mine Misaki-chan... All mine..." whispered Hatoko while squinting her eyes trying to be evil looking. Misaki stared at her for a moment. "You goofball... Hatoko-chan... You mine... All mine..." whispered back Misaki. Hatoko slowly let her arms fall from beneath her and she soon rested atop Misaki once again as their legs hung over the side of the bed. "Now Misaki-chan... What do you want to do today? You the guest! I am at your service my master..." said Hatoko and she hopped of the bed and bowed. Misaki smiled her own evil smile this time. "Hmm... maybe I will play witch and boil you in big iron pot..." suggested Misaki. "For dinner?" asked Hatoko, playing along. "Yes. I'll eat you for dinner." replied Misaki. She showed her teeth to Hatoko in a big evil grin. "Oooo... can I be a bunny rabbit please?" said Hatoko. She bent down on the ground and hopped around on all fours. "Yes... but first, you must be caught cause your a wild bunny rabbit..." replied Misaki. Hatoko responded by moving away from Misaki by hopping. "Trying to get away so soon? I'll get you my furry dinner... I'll get you..." cackled Misaki as though she were a witch. She got off of the bed and put up her arms like she was trying to scare away a bear. Misaki followed Hatoko. When she was near Hatoko would dart to the other side of the room. Eventually Hatoko wore out though. Misaki came at her. "Finally... oh pretty bunny, you mine!" and with that Misaki jumped on Hatoko's back. She wrapped her arms around Hatoko's abdomen and rolled onto the floor to avoid hurting Hatoko from being on top of her. Hatoko was now on top of Misaki instead. She squirmed around while Misaki held tightly onto her prey. Hatoko ran out of energy and lay on Misaki's chest while they rested. Misaki didn't want to move. Hatoko was on top of her. She felt warmth from Hatoko, but it was more then that. It was love. Misaki closed her eyes. She was tingling all over. Hatoko felt nearly the same, except she wanted to face Misaki. She turned herself around soon after Misaki closed her eyes and lost interest in restraining Hatoko as if she were dinner. Hatoko starred at Misaki's cute face and hair. "You know what Hatoko-chan?" asked Misaki with her eyes still closed. "What is it o great Princess Misaki-chan?" replied Hatoko. Misaki opened her eyes. "Not to disappoint you, but this floor is hard and it's hurting me..." answered Misaki. Hatoko jumped off of Misaki and quickly and helped her up. "Oh, I'm sorry Misaki-chan... You were comfy..." giggled Hatoko. Misaki just smiled at Hatoko's silly choice of words. The rain continued to pour outside as Misaki and Hatoko played around in the room like little bunny rabbits, hidden from the sight of anybody that might tear them apart, anybody that might keep them apart, simply because they were both girls. Girls that loved each other. Lunch time came, and Misaki and Hatoko left the room to go to the dining room/kitchen to eat Misaki's Famous Salmon Sandwiches that they had prepared earlier. When they got there they found the Kotarou and Tamayo were not around. "We'll just eat ours together I guess... those love-birds can eat their's later. They must be involved in something so important that they've lost their appetite for your sandwiches," decided Misaki. Hatoko agreed and they took out a couple sandwiches for themselves. Hatoko took the first bite. "Better then last time Misaki-chan!" said Hatoko. "Oo... they aren't that good... really now..." replied Misaki slightly flattered as she eyed her sandwich in her hands. "They are to! Now eat up..." ordered Hatoko. "I thought I was the guest here," joked Misaki. "You are, but I get to make you eat because your neglecting to eat. Eat or I'll have to punish you..." threatened Hatoko. "Fine, but only because I *whispering* love you" surrendered Misaki. She took a bite as Hatoko recovered from the un-anticipated use of words. They were both blushing and eating salmon sandwiches when Kotarou and Tamayo showed up. "Hey look Tamayo-chan, the salmon is turning their faces red," pointed out Kotarou. Tamayo just smiled as she ate a sandwich. Kotarou took a sandwich as well. They both munched away. Misaki and Hatoko just looked at them. "Your both turning red too! More specificly... your both blushing!" said Hatoko to Tamayo and Kotarou. They both dropped their heads again as they ate. "We uh..." started Tamayo. "Keep your lovey-dovey stuff to yourself please so that we don't choke on our food. Although if choking is the game, we could make you choke to death if you please." interjected Hatoko. She and Misaki both laughed at the private choke as the other two just stared in wierd wonder. "This is going to be fun Hatoko-chan," said Misaki, grinning. Hatoko agreed. "This will be fun... the bunnies that shall hide hand in hand... this shall be fun..." finished Hatoko. Kotarou and Tamayo didn't know what to say. They had no clue what Misaki and Hatoko were talking about. They failed like Misaki earlier to even grasp a different conception of love. Misaki and Hatoko giggled. "Baka," Misaki and Hatoko said together. (baka means idiot or idiots)
