You were at Game Stop buying the latest 'Bleach' game for your PS3. The newest one was called 'Soul Resurrection'. You went to the game rack and saw the last copy of the game. "Yes!" you said to yourself.

"The last copy is mine!" You grabbed it up and went to pay for it, seeing your best friend Alfred was working as the register today, you immediately went up to him.

"Sup dudette!" the loud American said beaming down at you.

"Hey Alfie~" you said with a smile.

"Dude really?" he said examining the game you were about to buy. "I swear every Saturday you're in here just to buy the latest version of what ever new anime game they have out!"

"So? I like them. Is there a problem with that?"

"No, but I was thinking that maybe I should set you up with a friend of mine! He's into all of that anime stuff too!"

"Alfred you know that I don't like blind dates! Remember what happened when you tried to set me up with your friend Gilbert?"

"Well how was I supposed to know he would show up 2 hours late for your date?" he asked shrugging his shoulders.

"Not only did he show up 2 hours late." you glared at Alfred. "But he was drunk, and kept trying to grab my chest!" Al put his hands up protectively in front of him.

"Whoa dudette chill! It was an honest mistake! But I promise this guy is soooo much better for you then that Gil was! He is sorta quiet, and he's into all that sensing the mood crap, and he likes anime, and mango, and-"

"Manga!" you corrected him.

"Yeah, whatever, anyway, he usually comes in here every Sunday around noon, so you gotta come and meet him!"

"I don't know…." You said.

"Pleeeeeaaase?" Alfred begged, giving you his best puppy dog eyes. You sighed.

"Fine! But if this goes bad, I'm blaming you!"

"Yes!" Alfred cheered in triumph. "I promise you won't regret it!"

"I'm starting to regret it already," you sighed again. "What's this guys name anyway?"

"His name is Kiku, and he's a buddy of mine from Japan."

"I see, and why are you so eager to set me up with someone?"

Al averted his gaze from you. "Well, I just don't wanna see my best friend die old and alone," he said as he scratched the back of his head.

You punched him hard in the arm. "Just because I'm not in a happy relationship like you and Arthur, doesn't mean I need someone." In the middle of your sentence, the bell chimed and Arthur walked through the door.

"Did I just hear my name?" Arthur asked as he walked over to you and Alfred. Alfred came from behind the counter and slung his arm around Arthur's shoulders.

"Yeah." you said. "I was just telling Alfred that just because I'm not in a happy relationship like you and him are, doesn't mean I need him to set me up."

Arthur sighed and turned his head to face Al. "Are you really trying to set her up again? You do remember what happened with Gilbert right?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. But I don't want her to die old and alone with 100 cats!"

You hit him again, but harder this time. He rubbed his shoulder. "Ow! You're mean."

"If you quit with the comments like that, I wouldn't have to be mean." You said with aggravation clear in your voice.

"Alfred love, which of our friends are you trying to set her up with now?" Arthur asked.

"Kiku! They both like anime, and mango, so-"

"MANGA!" You shouted again at Alfred.

"Whatever! Anyway, I thought they would be a good match!"

Arthur seemed to agree with Alfred's words. "Yes I do believe Kiku would be a much better match for her than that awful Gilbert was."

You stomped your foot like an impatient child. "Don't talk about me like I'm not here," you sad irritated.

Arthur turned to face you again. "Sorry about that _, anyway, I do believe you will get along with Kiku and come to like him. A bit of a warning though, he likes his personal space, and can be rather shy around new people so go easy on him."

"What do you mean by that?" you asked.

"Well, its just…..your personality can be a bit…oh what's the word I'm looking for…..overbearing." Arthur averted your gaze nervously.

You put your hands on your hips and glared hard at the Brit.

"Overbearing?" you scoffed. "I am far from overbearing!"

"Even so, I think it best if you tone down the attitude. You don't wanna scare him away." Al said and laughed. You gave the loud American one last punch before you turned and walked out the door, with the game in your hand. You would prove them wrong! You could be nice! You could get a guy to like you! You would come tomorrow and make both Alfred and Arthur look like morons!

-Alfred and Arthur's point of view-

After you were out the door Alfred began to giggle like a school girl. "She fell for it! My plan worked!" he cheered.

"Your plan?" Arthur asked. "It was my idea to set her up with Kiku in the first place."

"Yeah, but it was my idea to ambush her with the idea today when she came in!"

Arthur shook his head at his idiotic boyfriend's tactics. Why he had decided to date this moron he had no idea.

Alfred looked down at Arthur and gave him his big idiotic grin.

"Hey Artie, do you think we should call Kiku and warn him that we have a pretty girl for him to meet so he doesn't flip out when he gets here?" Arthur nodded.

"Yes we should. Kiku would be displeased if we didn't give him at least a little warning."

"Yeah, your right, I'll call him up now!"

-Back to your POV-

After you got home you began searching your closet for something to wear for tomorrow. What had you gotten yourself into? How did Al and Arthur manage to convince you to meet some strange guy?

You sighed and hung up everything you had pulled out. It didn't matter what this guy thought of you. Why were you so eager to please him?

Oh that right… you had to prove those two 'friends' of yours that they wrong! You could do this! Now, back to finding an outfit!

-Kiku's POV-

Kiku was under his comfortable kotatsu table enjoying a cup of tea, when his phone rang. He sighed and got up to go fetch it.

"Herro?" He said into the receiver.

"Kiku! What's up dude?!"

"Oh, hero Alfred-san. How may I herp you?"

"Dude you're still coming to the store tomorrow right?"

"Werl, I was planning to, yes."

"Awesome! I have a surprise for you when you get here!"

"A surprise?" Kiku asked uneasy. "What kind of surprise?"

"A girl!" Alfred shouted so loud Kiku almost dropped the phone.

"A-Are you serious?!" Kiku gasped when he managed to put the receiver back to his ear.

"For real dude, I'm totally setting you up! Make sure you come! I don't want her to be disappointed if you don't show!" That was the last thing he said before he hung up. He didn't want Kiku to have time to refuse.

Kiku hung up the phone and stood there in utter shock. Alfred had set him up without his permission?! Why would he do that! Alfred knew he couldn't stand being touched, and he needed his space.

How could any girl want to date him? Girls liked to be touched, and held. Kiku couldn't do that! He had a lot of thinking to do before tomorrow.
