Part 9, page 4
    Neko lay on her bed crying into her pillow.  She didn�t know which was worse:  hating Tenshi or liking her.
And she didn�t know which one applied to her now.
     �Neko-chan?�  Mi-chan came into the room, wanting to talk about it, which was naturally the thing Neko least wanted to do.  Their connection must have been growing stronger because Neko could feel Mi-chan�s concern build for her.  She wondered what Mi-chan sensed coming from her.  �What happened?  Did Tenshi-kun do something to you?�
     Neko wondered whether Mi-chan would go give Tenshi a piece of her mind (or fist) if she said yes.  Probably. �Iie, she was a perfect gentleman,� she replied bitterly.
     �Then what�s wrong?�
     �I�� Neko wasn�t even sure
she knew.  Her chest hurt, and there was a big lump in her throat, and she just felt like crying all night.  Tenshi had somehow hurt her again, but she didn�t know how to explain it.  She had just been planning to reject her anyway.  How could Tenshi have hurt her if she wasn�t expecting anything from her?  And yet she had been so�.  Neko shook her head and buried her face back into the pillow.  �I don�t want to want to talk about her!� she finally bawled, officially bringing the discussion to a close.
