Dialing for Love
Chapter One: The Idiot's Guide
**********************
"Hiro?"
"...Hmm?"
"I'm bored."
Nakano Hiroshi looked at his best friend, trying to decide on a scale to one to ten how serious was the situation at hand, involving the bundle of energy known as Shindou Shuichi. Considering the fact the pink haired boy had just down two boxes of strawberry and chocolate pocky, Hiro gave it a six. Seven, if Shuichi had to stand still any longer.
"Maiko and Usagi should be here any minute, so calm down."
"But I'm bored."
"They're only five minutes late." Hiro pointed out. Not bothering to add, that was if Usagi didn't have after school detention. Again.
That seemed to pacified Shuichi for a bit. "...Hey, Hiro?"
"Hmm?"
"Did you hear that Mamoru-san broke up with Usagi this morning?"
"Again?"
"Un huh," Shuichi nodded vigorously. "But I hear this time they broke up for good!"
"For good?" Well that was new. Well not really, Mamoru-san had more iffy reasons to break up with Usagi, than Shuichi had music equipment. Maybe this time, he had a chance.
"He told her, to keep the ring he gave her as a sign on their frie-"
Loud sniffles caught their attention. Slowly both boys turned their heads. A few feet away, stood Tsukino Usagi sobbing, quietly, her little heart out. Her normally cheerfully face looked so miserably downtrodden, that both Shuichi and Hiro, instantly felt guilty about their little gossip feast. Besides the petite blonde stood Maiko, glaring at them for all she was worth, for their basic male stupidity.
"Bakas," huffed Shuichi's sister as she turned to console her friend. "Don't listen to those two. You think they were girls gossiping like that!"
"Hey!"
"Geez thanks, Maiko."
Sniffling Usagi lifted her gaze from the pavement. "Gomen ne," Usagi murmured, "I don't mean to such a crybaby. Y-you think I'd be use to it, by now. But I didn't think he would....and...and...and ...and...."
"Don't cry for him, Usagi-chan," Shuichi replied softly, rubbing her back. "He isn't worth it. We're here for you."
"Shuichi's right," Hiro agreed, "Someone as pretty as you can find someone better than Chiba Mamoru."
"Yeah!" Shuichi piped up. "The computer club practically worships you! They even know when you have y-"
Usagi blinked as Hiro slapped his hand over Shuichi's motor mouth. "Have what?"
"...Sushi in your bento."
"Oh..."
"Sushi?" Maiko smirked at Hiro and Shuichi. "Isn't that a new slang term the upperclassmen are using?" Hiro seemed to find his sneakers suddenly fascinating as Shuichi stared blankly at his sister, his mouth still covered. "Come on, Usagi lets go and get ice cream."
As always the offer of food, seemed to perk Usagi right back up. "Okay! I hope they have double mocha chocolate fudge!"
"You boys want anything?"
"Rocky Road!!"
"Money!"
"I'm fine, "Hiro replied as Shuichi fished around in his pockets for extra money before digging into Hiro's pants pockets. "Do I have ATM written on me somewhere?".
As the girls went off to the ice cream vendor, their voices drifted back. "Maiko-san, why would the computer club care if I have sushi for lunch?"
"They're idiots?" Maiko offered, "with too much time on their hands."
"Wasn't Shuichi in the computer club for a while?"
"Only to learn how to use that new music program for his keyboard and computer. Besides he already was an idiot before he joined."
"I heard that!!!" Shuichi bellowed.
"I know!!!"
Usagi's voice echoed back to them. "Umino-kun in the computer club... Naru-chan won't be happy."
***********
"Why do we have to learn about the Hun movement across china?!" Shuichi complained, in the school library the next day. "We don't live in ancient china!"
"You wouldn't survive a day in ancient anything." Maiko pointed out.
"Is that the subject for our report?" Usagi question, looking up from her drawings. "I thought Hoshi-sensei was complaining about being overcharged a 100 yen at the flower shop again when he was buying for Sukumi-sensei."
"That was before class started Usagi," Hiro replied, getting up. "You fell asleep again." Usagi stuck out her tongue at him, before getting up to sharpen her pencil.
"Telling her about her sleeping habits in history is really going to get you a date with her," Maiko teased, "Next are you going to tell her about her snoring in English?"
Hiro scowled lightly. "If you were any type of friend, you would find out if she likes me."
Maiko smiled. "She does..."
"...She does?!" This was certainly news to Shuichi and Hiro.
Maiko got up, grabbing her pencil case. Walking to where Usagi stood, she called out over her shoulder. "As a friend."
Hiro slumped forward, and Shuichi's head hit the table top. "Oww..."
"Your sister is evil."
"I know."
Shuichi followed Hiro into the reference section. "Why wouldn't Usagi like me more than a friend?"
"I dunno..." Shuichi skimmed through the titles and sneezed. "Mou, these are dusty."
Hiro held out a piece of paper. "Try to find this book." Shuichi frowned, but took the paper to begin his search.
"...don't want just a boyfriend, Maiko-chan."
"What do you want? Don't tell me Mamoru, or I'll smack you!"
Shuichi shoved a pile of books to the side, as he peered through the shelves. Maiko and Usagi were lazily searching for books on China, as they talked. "Psst Hiro!"
"What?"
"Usagi is telling Maiko what she wants in a guy!" More books were shoved aside as both boys strained to listen to the girls' conversation.
"I want my soulmate...someone who's sweet and doesn't mind that I fall asleep in class..."
Hiro winced at that comment.
"Who doesn't break dates to study..."
Maiko snorted. "I'll just bet he was studying, the pig."
"Who doesn't call me Odango Atama!!!"
"But it suits you."
Usagi hit Maiko with a textbook, as she slumped against the shelve. Blocking Shuichi's and Hiro's view, with her head. "*sigh* I just want someone to love me."
Maiko slumped against the bookcase, next to Usagi. "Can't blame you...Almost makes you wish life was like a shoujo manga. A bishounen, a bit of angst, maybe a love triangle or two and- "
"Is it just me, or Usagi has a really big head for someone so small?" Shuichi wondered out loud.
"Baka." Hiro hissed, as two pairs of blue eyes glared at them. Shuichi smiled weakly at his sister and friend as he slowly back away.
"Hehe...Find any Huns?"
"Shindou Shuichi, how dare you spy on us!!!" Maiko exclaimed, shaking her fist at her brother.
"I do not have a big head, Shuichi!" Usagi exclaimed.
"Hehe...From behind it looks like you do."
"I do not!!!"
From experience with his sister, Shuichi knew it was better to retreat when just dealing with Maiko. Add in Usagi, he had a feeling it was better to run like a bat out of hell
Not paying attention to were he was going, Shuichi whirled around with the intent to run at full speed out of the library and not stop until he was safely across town. Only to run straight into the bookcase with the force of a small bulldozer. The pink haired boy fell back flat on his butt, as the bookcase tittered back and forth. While books rained on Shuichi's head Hiro, Maiko and Usagi could only watch as the bookcases toppled like dominos all the way to the front desk.
"What happened???!!!" The librarian yelled as she made her way to their small group. "Don't you know the rules! There is no horseplaying in the library!"
Usagi groaned, "I knew I could go a week without five detentions."
Completely ignoring the librarian, Shuichi jumped to his feet unscathed. "Usagi!!! I have the answer to your problems!"
"You know where to get me a lifetime supply of ice cream for free?"
"No...I know where you can get free pocky?"
"Where?"
"Maiko's bookbag."
"Shuichi!"
"I thought you said, you have the answer to Usagi's problems, Shuichi," Hiro spoke up, noting that the librarian wasn't happy that she was being ignored. "Not Usagi's food crisis."
"I do! See!!" Shuichi held up a book. "It fell into my lap, after hitting me on the head."
~The Idiot's Guide to Summoning Ghosts, Soulmates, Spirits and other unnatural phenomenon.~
"Soulmates are unnatural?!" Usagi exclaimed, stunned.
"I can see why the book spoke to you Shuichi," Maiko deadpanned.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Hiro muttered.
"DETENTION FOR ALL OF YOU!!!"
************
"Can't believe you check out that book." Maiko yawned as they waited for Usagi as she used the phone. Shuichi leafed through the pages. "Did you see the way, the librarian was glaring at you?"
"I thought she was glaring at you, when you said that she needed to use Nair's new facial hair remover," Hiro replied.
"She needed to do something about her mustache," Maiko grinned, as she grabbed the book out of Shuichi's hands, to flip through it herself. "How can this little book help you find spirits and soulmates?" She passed it over to Hiro. "Shuichi can't even find his way home by himself."
"I can too!!!"
Hiro looked at a detail step by step process for summoning garden gnomes. "This is just a bunch of mumbo jumbo."
Shuichi snatched the book back. "No it's not! Just watch I'll help Usagi-chan find her soulmate!"
"With or without blowing up our house?" Shuichi glared at his sister. Before he could say anything, he was tackled from behind by Usagi. "Yes!!! I can spend the night at your guys' house!!!"
Maiko's eyes lit up. "Bishounen marathon!!!" Shuichi bounced up and down. "We can do the summoning thingie!!!" Hiro turned to Usagi. "You're...spending...the night...with...Shuichi?!"
Hiro knew that his best friend needed to get laid...but with Usagi? No!
Usagi blinked. "No, I'm spending the night with Maiko."
Well, that had possibilities.
"Come on! Lets go! Lets go and get started!!!" Shuichi grabbed Usagi's hand and darted down the street.
"BAIBAIII!!!!" Usagi called out, as a chibified Shuichi and Usagi vanished from view.
Maiko took in, Hiro's slightly flushed face. "What's going through your head, pervert?"
"I am not a pervert."
"Un huh," Maiko sniggered, "That's why your nose is bleeding, ne?"
************
"Are you sure you read it right?"
"Un huh..."
"Is it suppose to smell?"
"Do I really have to drink that?!" "You're the one who wants a soulmate, " Maiko pointed out. "I'd be happy with a guy with more looks than brains."
"I'd feel sorry for that guy." Shuichi replied, his hand covering his nose.
"I thought you like the class president, Maiko-chan?"
"Usagi-chan, you might want to rethink this." Hiro commented, before they got anymore sidetrack. "That looks like epidemic waiting to happen, add in the fact that Shuichi and you made it..."
Violet and blue eyes glared at him. "Ahem!" Hiro coughed, "what do we have to do next?"
"We have to create this circle thingie," Maiko pointed to the sample picture.
Usagi tilted her head to the side, "Isn't that what Sakura uses in Card Captor Sakura when she's using the cards?"
Shuichi also tilted his head to the side. "It looks like it."
"And just how are we going to make that?" Hiro questioned, wondering if it wasn't too late to distract Shuichi and Usagi with pocky and ice cream.
Shuichi beamed, shoved the open book in his face. "There's a website listed to print off a color copy."
"A website?" Hiro looked skeptically at the link offer on the page.
"Well..." Maiko answered, "It is an 'Idiot's guide'!"
************
Outside on the driveway, they finished laying out their just off the press, summoning circle and taping it down. The circle was at least six feet in diameter, not including the remaining white spots at the corners. Shuichi picked out the open book, he had left on the floor. "Okay!" He exclaimed cheerfully, " Where is the potion?"
"Right here." Maiko held the mug with their smelly concoction thrust away from her, covering her nose.
"Where's Usagi?"
"Right here!" Usagi bounced up, bundled up in a borrowed sweater.
"Okay, did I forget anything?"
"Is the fire department on stand by?"
"That's not funny, Hiro!"
"Are you trying to put a jinx on Usagi-chan!"
"Come on lets get this start! I'm hungry!"
Usagi position herself in the center on the circle, now holding the smelly mug and waited.
"Okay!" Shuichi flipped to the next page, only to stare cross-eyed at the strange words. He looked at Hiro. "Is that English?"
Hiro looked at the words. "No...It looks like Latin."
"Er..." Shuichi looked blankly at the words, he had no idea how to pronounce them. He looked at Usagi who watched him with big, hopeful blue eyes. He flipped through the pages to find a pronunciation guide of any sort. He stopped at the last page. There was a god! "Maiko, get me the phone!!!"
"The phone?" Maiko repeated. "Why?"
"There's a phone number in the back we can use, if we have troubling getting the right summoning spell..."
"A hotline for spells?"
"Un huh..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Maiko just went to get the phone, Usagi-chan."
"An idiot's guide..." Hiro muttered, "They really meant an idiot's guide..."
"Shuichi catch!" Maiko tossed the cordless phone down to her brother.
Shuichi shoved the book into Hiro's hand, and quickly punched in the phone number.
"Hello. Welcome to the Idiots Guide to Summoning hotline." The automatic voice answered. "If a swarm of blood-craving demons, elves, or man eating plants, please hang up and run for your life. A priest shall soon be dispatched, as soon as we hired one. If you have questions or comments continue to hold. An operator shall be with you between now and the year 2059. Thank you for your patience. If you know the extension for the department you wish to call, please dial the extension number now."
"Hiro, what's the extension number?"
"5325."
"At this time please hand the phone to the participant. Thank you and please call again."
"Here, you go Usagi!" Shuichi announced cheerfully, tossing Usagi the phone.
"Ow!" Everyone winced as the cordless phone, bopped Usagi on the head. Rubbing her bump and a bit confused, Usagi picked the phone and put the earpiece to her ear. Her eyes widened as a thunderous voice bellowed out, what seemed to be gibberish to her. "S-Shuichi?!" Usagi called out as a black mist began to surround her. "Maiko! Hiro!"
On the side, the three teens stared as harsh winds whipped around. "Uh...Is this suppose to happen?" Maiko questioned, trying to hold back her hair with one hand.
"I can't see Usagi!" Hiro replied.
"I hope Usagi's dad doesn't find out about this..."
Usagi began to choke on the musky air about her, when she felt something brush across her lips. Opening her closed eyes, all she saw was a pair of golden brown eyes staring down at her. Before she could scream, she was choking on the awful smelling and tasting brew Shuichi and she had made. No wonder the home economics teacher had given up on her. As quickly as that thought came, it vanished as something warm covered her lips. Her head was held immobile as the assault on her lips continued. With gentle nip of the teeth, Usagi gave in. Soon, the bitter potion turned sweet in her mouth, sweeter than any chocolate that had melted in her mouth Sighing, Usagi allowed her eyes to slowly shut close, and enjoy the 'assault.'
No one knew what to do, as they gawked at the scene before as the mists and winds departed. One moment their friend was floating in mid air, at least six feet off of the ground, unconscious. The next she was falling.
Tossing the book to the ground, Hiro took off running. Sliding across the gravel to cushion Usagi's fall.
On the sidelines, a chibi Maiko, slashed her arms across the air. "SAFE!"
Shuichi on the other hand..."OHMIGOD!!!! WE KILLED USAGI-CHAN!!!!!!"
"She's not dead, Shuichi." Hiro grunted out, as he scooped up Usagi in his arms and got up. "She's just unconscious."
"Oh...." Shuichi peered down at Usagi. "Do you think we should still order her a pizza?"
"I don't think we should be worrying about pizza, right now Shuichi."
"Well you've never had Usagi spend the night at your house." Shuichi told
him as he followed him into the house.. "Usagi-chan is always hungry when she wakes up."
"Where do we put her?"
"Maiko's room."
As Hiro laid Usagi down on the bed, Maiko's voice float up. "Shuichi!!!"
Both boys raced out of the room., to find Maiko at the base of the stairs shaking, slightly.
"Shuichi what did you do?!!" "Nothing!"
"Nothing my ass!!!" Maiko shouted, waving the book. "Do you even know what an incubus is?!!!"
Shuichi shook his head. From the look in Maiko's eyes, answering that with a music band from the States, wasn't a good idea. "...No."
"What are you talking about, Maiko?" Hiro stepped in, before Shuichi got yelled at again.
"You dialed the wrong extension number." Maiko snapped, "and summoned a SEX DEMON!!!!"
***********
Usagi giggled as Luna, her cat nudged her from the side. She was extremely ticklish there. Usagi batted Luna away with her hand, as she curled up to the warm bundle next to her. Slowly her mind registered that something was wrong, as something began to nibble the skin on her fingers. She sighed as a warm hand made it's way up across her flat belly to cup her right breast. All too soon for her tastes the nibbling on her hands stopped. Pouting she waited for more. Usagi gasped, as teeth gently bit into the sensitive skin just below her ear, only to lick the heated skin like a sensuous cat.
"Do you like that?" Usagi's eyes flew up, at the sound of the voice whispering in her ear. He kneeled above her, her legs trapped between his. His dark brown hair fell wonderfully over his golden brown eyes as he smirked down at her. For a moment she could only stare at him, her mouth agape. Vaguely wondering if this was still a dream. If so, she needed more dreams like this.
Suddenly he fell back, sitting on her lower legs. He fingered a long blonde ponytail and giggled. "Daaa!!!" He exclaimed childishly, sounding very different from the seductive voice that whispered in her ear. "You look like a bunny!!!!"
Usagi didn't know what to say to that.
He bounced in place, before whipping out a stuffed pink rabbit plushie from out of nowhere. "You can be friends with Kumagorou and me!!!" He held the rabbit to his ear, "Kumagorou says that he likes you, because you're soft and cuddly!"
It was too much for Usagi to process. So, she did the only thing to do. "MMMAAAIIIKKKOOO!!!! SSSHHHUUUUUUCCCHHIII!!! HIROOOOOOOOO!!!"
"Oh! Kumagorou we're playing the yelling game!!!!!"
The door slammed opened.
"I really *hope* that Usagi's dad doesn't find out about this!"
Suddenly tackling Usagi's food issues didn't seem such a daunting task.

Violet and blue eyes glared at him. "Ahem!" Hiro coughed, "what do we have to do next?"
"We have to create this circle thingie," Maiko pointed to the sample picture.
Usagi tilted her head to the side, "Isn't that what Sakura uses in Card Captor Sakura when she's using the cards?"
Shuichi also tilted his head to the side. "It looks like it."
"And just how are we going to make that?" Hiro questioned, wondering if it wasn't too late to distract Shuichi and Usagi with pocky and ice cream.
Shuichi beamed, shoved the open book in his face. "There's a website listed to print off a color copy."
"A website?" Hiro looked skeptically at the link offer on the page.
"Well..." Maiko answered, "It is an 'Idiot's guide'!"
************
Outside on the driveway, they finished laying out their just off the press, summoning circle and taping it down. The circle was at least six feet in diameter, not including the remaining white spots at the corners. Shuichi picked out the open book, he had left on the floor. "Okay!" He exclaimed cheerfully, " Where is the potion?"
"Right here." Maiko held the mug with their smelly concoction thrust away from her, covering her nose.
"Where's Usagi?"
"Right here!" Usagi bounced up, bundled up in a borrowed sweater.
"Okay, did I forget anything?"
"Is the fire department on stand by?"
"That's not funny, Hiro!"
"Are you trying to put a jinx on Usagi-chan!"
"Come on lets get this start! I'm hungry!"
Usagi position herself in the center on the circle, now holding the smelly mug and waited.
"Okay!" Shuichi flipped to the next page, only to stare cross-eyed at the strange words. He looked at Hiro. "Is that English?"
Hiro looked at the words. "No...It looks like Latin."
"Er..." Shuichi looked blankly at the words, he had no idea how to pronounce them. He looked at Usagi who watched him with big, hopeful blue eyes. He flipped through the pages to find a pronunciation guide of any sort. He stopped at the last page. There was a god! "Maiko, get me the phone!!!"
"The phone?" Maiko repeated. "Why?"
"There's a phone number in the back we can use, if we have troubling getting the right summoning spell..."
"A hotline for spells?"
"Un huh..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Maiko just went to get the phone, Usagi-chan."
"An idiot's guide..." Hiro muttered, "They really meant an idiot's guide..."
"Shuichi catch!" Maiko tossed the cordless phone down to her brother.
Shuichi shoved the book into Hiro's hand, and quickly punched in the phone number.
"Hello. Welcome to the Idiots Guide to Summoning hotline." The automatic voice answered. "If a swarm of blood-craving demons, elves, or man eating plants, please hang up and run for your life. A priest shall soon be dispatched, as soon as we hired one. If you have questions or comments continue to hold. An operator shall be with you between now and the year 2059. Thank you for your patience. If you know the extension for the department you wish to call, please dial the extension number now."
"Hiro, what's the extension number?"
"5325."
"At this time please hand the phone to the participant. Thank you and please call again."
"Here, you go Usagi!" Shuichi announced cheerfully, tossing Usagi the phone.
"Ow!" Everyone winced as the cordless phone, bopped Usagi on the head. Rubbing her bump and a bit confused, Usagi picked the phone and put the earpiece to her ear. Her eyes widened as a thunderous voice bellowed out, what seemed to be gibberish to her. "S-Shuichi?!" Usagi called out as a black mist began to surround her. "Maiko! Hiro!"
On the side, the three teens stared as harsh winds whipped around. "Uh...Is this suppose to happen?" Maiko questioned, trying to hold back her hair with one hand.
"I can't see Usagi!" Hiro replied.
"I hope Usagi's dad doesn't find out about this..."
Usagi began to choke on the musky air about her, when she felt something brush across her lips. Opening her closed eyes, all she saw was a pair of golden brown eyes staring down at her. Before she could scream, she was choking on the awful smelling and tasting brew Shuichi and she had made. No wonder the home economics teacher had given up on her. As quickly as that thought came, it vanished as something warm covered her lips. Her head was held immobile as the assault on her lips continued. With gentle nip of the teeth, Usagi gave in. Soon, the bitter potion turned sweet in her mouth, sweeter than any chocolate that had melted in her mouth Sighing, Usagi allowed her eyes to slowly shut close, and enjoy the 'assault.'
No one knew what to do, as they gawked at the scene before as the mists and winds departed. One moment their friend was floating in mid air, at least six feet off of the ground, unconscious. The next she was falling.
Tossing the book to the ground, Hiro took off running. Sliding across the gravel to cushion Usagi's fall.
On the sidelines, a chibi Maiko, slashed her arms across the air. "SAFE!"
Shuichi on the other hand..."OHMIGOD!!!! WE KILLED USAGI-CHAN!!!!!!"
"She's not dead, Shuichi." Hiro grunted out, as he scooped up Usagi in his arms and got up. "She's just unconscious."
"Oh...." Shuichi peered down at Usagi. "Do you think we should still order her a pizza?"
"I don't think we should be worrying about pizza, right now Shuichi."
"Well you've never had Usagi spend the night at your house." Shuichi told
him as he followed him into the house.. "Usagi-chan is always hungry when she wakes up."
"Where do we put her?"
"Maiko's room."
As Hiro laid Usagi down on the bed, Maiko's voice float up. "Shuichi!!!"
Both boys raced out of the room., to find Maiko at the base of the stairs shaking, slightly.
"Shuichi what did you do?!!" "Nothing!"
"Nothing my ass!!!" Maiko shouted, waving the book. "Do you even know what an incubus is?!!!"
Shuichi shook his head. From the look in Maiko's eyes, answering that with a music band from the States, wasn't a good idea. "...No."
"What are you talking about, Maiko?" Hiro stepped in, before Shuichi got yelled at again.
"You dialed the wrong extension number." Maiko snapped, "and summoned a SEX DEMON!!!!"
***********
Usagi giggled as Luna, her cat nudged her from the side. She was extremely ticklish there. Usagi batted Luna away with her hand, as she curled up to the warm bundle next to her. Slowly her mind registered that something was wrong, as something began to nibble the skin on her fingers. She sighed as a warm hand made it's way up across her flat belly to cup her right breast. All too soon for her tastes the nibbling on her hands stopped. Pouting she waited for more. Usagi gasped, as teeth gently bit into the sensitive skin just below her ear, only to lick the heated skin like a sensuous cat.
"Do you like that?" Usagi's eyes flew up, at the sound of the voice whispering in her ear. He kneeled above her, her legs trapped between his. His dark brown hair fell wonderfully over his golden brown eyes as he smirked down at her. For a moment she could only stare at him, her mouth agape. Vaguely wondering if this was still a dream. If so, she needed more dreams like this.
Suddenly he fell back, sitting on her lower legs. He fingered a long blonde ponytail and giggled. "Daaa!!!" He exclaimed childishly, sounding very different from the seductive voice that whispered in her ear. "You look like a bunny!!!!"
Usagi didn't know what to say to that.
He bounced in place, before whipping out a stuffed pink rabbit plushie from out of nowhere. "You can be friends with Kumagorou and me!!!" He held the rabbit to his ear, "Kumagorou says that he likes you, because you're soft and cuddly!"
It was too much for Usagi to process. So, she did the only thing to do. "MMMAAAIIIKKKOOO!!!! SSSHHHUUUUUUCCCHHIII!!! HIROOOOOOOOO!!!"
"Oh! Kumagorou we're playing the yelling game!!!!!"
The door slammed opened.
"I really *hope* that Usagi's dad doesn't find out about this!"
Suddenly tackling Usagi's food issues didn't seem such a daunting task.
