A/N: Lol, total randomness XD This one is kind of lame-ish, though… Ah well, that's just me. Guess there's nothing I can do about it now (too lazy to try and fix it).

Locked in a Cage

(Say It Loud)

Karin didn't know why or how the outburst had occurred, but it was too late to hit herself over the head for it: it had happened, and nothing could change the fact (although she desperately wanted to do so).

She couldn't help but fidget in embarrassment, as Kazune continued to stare at her, the disbelief clear on his face. Although one could not blame him, as he had been doing nothing more than walking down the corridor (while ignoring the squeals and attention of the Kazune-Z, with their odd habit of stalking him).

Why did she have to shout those words out loud?

"Hanazono-san-!"

The Kazune-Z were a little off the mark today, the brunette couldn't help but note, while she stood her ground. Maybe the pain wouldn't be too bad, compared to how she felt now…

If it hadn't been for Michiru's and Jin's charisma combined, Karin probably would have been dead (or, at least, stuck in the hospital for the next week).

As the last of the girls filed away, still caught in the (absolute) wonder of the pair, Michiru winked at the brunette as he grabbed Jin's shirt collar before he could launch himself on her. "We'll leave you to talk it out with Kazune-kun, shall we?"

"What? No way—" Jin began indignantly.

"We'll go find Himeka-san and head to class early, shall we?"

Karin could hear the idol grumbling under his breath as he was dragged away, before she faced Kazune, trying her best to look as calm and composed as possible.

Not that it seemed to work.

"Your face gets blotchy when you're mad, you know."

She fumed, and made the decision to repeat herself – just to try and get the message across.

"I really hate to love you, Kujyou Kazune-kun!"
