"They're getting on my nerves." admitted Chihaya.

"Number 12's a pain." said Sora.

"It's irritating....." declared Akira.

"I'm not able to score. And seriously though, what's with the double teaming?" said Eru.

"How come they always seem to have the manpower to do it....." mused Yukiji.

Sora blinked. "Genius!"

"Yeah. I am. But what did I say....."

"Hit something?" inquired Akira.

"Think so."
