What the heck is she trying to pull?) 3 [He claps a hand to the hickey on his neck.] Kyousuke: ! 4 [Blushing, his eyes goggle. @Madoka looks back quietly.] Kyousuke: (Maybe I'm the one that Akane...) 5 [Decisively, he clasps her by a hand. @Madoka blushes.] Kyousuke: Okay!

Kyousuke: It was you! You!! 5 [He points at her.] Akane: What? 6 Kyousuke: [glaring] Who was the one that was half-asleep and hugged me thinking I was Ayukawa? Akane: [horrified] AH!! 7 [He claps a hand to his forehead.] Kyousuke: (It was a pretty nice mood, but those wasps ruined it... It (i.e., the mood) was stepped on and kicked. Jeez...) --------------------------------------------------- p 91 (137) 1 [Madoka and a cheerful Hikaru come upon Kyousuke from behind. Kyousuke turns at the sound of...] Hikaru: SEMPA-A-AI! 2 [He turns back to Akane.] Kyousuke: Akane-kun, don't carry your meddling too far! Otherwise, I'll tell Hikaru-chan about the hickey.

And, so long, Okinawa!! 4 [Inside, the four sit in the middle seats of the jumbo jet. Akane on the left, then Kyousuke, Hikaru and Madoka.
