Kyousuke: Who asked you? 5 Kazuya: What's there to be jumpy over just one girl? It's better for a man to be a little forceful toward girls! 6 Kazuya: Sometimes it's necessary to become a wolf. Kyousuke: [appalled] Is that something a kindergarten kid says?! --------------------------------------------------- p 249 (11) 1 Kyousuke: [yelling] Never mind that. What are you doing here?!

Kazuya: [indignant] Please say, *positive-thinking*! sign: Clean in Earnest!! 4 Kyousuke: (Oh, that's right. He's telepathic...) 5 Kyousuke: (That'd be great...
