Chapter 2

Inui was having the best day of his life. He had successfully integrated himself into his crushes training regime and he had been invited around to said crushes house the next day after school. I can't believe how well that went given that I calculated that there was only a 36 chance that he would agree. He really excelled my expectations; I must really collect more data on him and more data of myself around him because I almost slipped back there. He was in the middle of his last lesson and he couldn't wait for it to finish so that he could see Kaidoh again.

He need not pay attention to the class as it was math and being a data collector he already knew all of what the teacher was teaching and more. Instead he began to draw up his new training partners' new training regime and diet plan. Looking back through his data notes he noticed that he didn't have a very recent record of what the Snake liked to eat, this could open up a very appropriate conversation in which he could ask many interesting things. He noted this and stored it in the back of his mind to ask later.

The lesson gave out on time and Inui was the first out of the door and the first to the club house. This did not surprise any of the regulars as they entered though they just presumed that the boy was busy collecting more data. Kaidoh has just had English, it will take him 5 minutes to get out of the building and across the grounds so he should be here in 3…2…1. YES!

As Kaidoh entered he noticed Inui practically beaming at him, this made him blush and it wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't been spend a large portion of the day thinking about him. This caused his face to become completely crimson and no matter what he told himself he could not make it go away.

"Oh kawaii! Kaidoh's blushing!" Eiji practical squealing attracting the attention of the enter assembly of occupants with in the small club house. Kaidoh looked around fearfully as the entire of the occupants stared at him, he then noticed Inui's gentle smile, it looked like he was laughing at him, and ran. He ran as fast as he could and banged in to a pair walking towards the courts, they shouted at him but he couldn't understand or hear them, he just kept running until he came to the extremely secluded and peacefully area in which he trained. The river provided a good place to exercise in and to practice his Boomerang Snake technique. He preferred it here, no-one ever came here and no-one knew about it so he could be alone for as long as he wanted and no-one would disturb him.

"BAKA!BAKA!BAKA!" He shouted at himself, hitting himself with every word trying to make things feel better, without much avail.

A disgruntled Tezuka and Fuji entered the club house just 30 second after Kaidoh had run out.

"Oh sempai's what happened to you to, you look like you've just been run over!" Eiji stated looking shocked at his sempai's.

"What was wrong with Kaidoh, he came running out of the club house and ran straight into me and Tezuka! He didn't even say that he was sorry. He was rude."

"I don't really know," elaborated Eiji, "I just said that he looked cute cause he was blushing and he ran away, it was so weird!"

"Buchou, if you would allow me I wish to go after him, I think that I know where he's gone and find out what is troubling him" Cut in Inui.

"That might be an idea. Everyone else 10 laps around the courts for loitering!" Barked the captain.

Inui walked out of the club house carrying both his bag and the bag Kaidoh had dropped running away. He knew exactly where the other boy had gone, because without the knowledge of Kaidoh, Inui had once followed him once when he went training and had found out where the Snake preferred to training, and he could see why. It was prefect for him, exactly what he needed in a training place, a secluded, peacefully place where no-one went.

Kaidoh was lying next to the river with his eyes closed trying to calm himself down when to his shock a shadow fell across him. He sat up with a start. Imagine his further surprise when he found, standing calmly in front of him, Inui Sadaharu. The one who had made him endure that embarrassing situation and had even had the nerve to laugh at him!

"Leave me alone! NOW! Go away!"

"There's no need to be hostile, Kaidoh I haven't done any thing wrong."

"You… anything wrong," he gapped at his sempai with shock, "What the hell do you mean, you laughed at me! I was standing there like a lemon and there you were laughing! So don't you dare say that you haven't done anything wrong because you have!" He realised that he was repeating himself but Kaidoh didn't care, he just needed to vent and Inui being the only one around he caught the front of it all. He was about to starting venting some more when Inui spoke.

"I was not laughing at you Kaidoh. I was smiling at you."

"Oh and please explain to me why on earth you would want to be smiling at me at that specific moment in time!"

"Because Eiji was right you did look cute" Inui spoke before he could that. OH NO NO NO what the hell did I just say. Somebody shoot me now!

This simple sentence mad Kaidoh blush even more and silence fell between the pair. Wow he said that he thought that I looked cute. I can't believe that he would think of me in that way.

The silence was finally broken when Inui spoke in the calmest voice he could muster.

"Here. You left your bag back there." Holding the bag out for him to take.

"Ah, thank you sempai and I'm sorry. Sorry that I shouted at you when it wasn't really your fault."

"You don't have to apologize; it was my fault for smiling at you at the worst possible moment."

"NO! NO! It really was my fault for think of the things I was that made me blush and I should have known that you wouldn't have been laughing at me."

Inui looked quizzing at the Snake, but did not ask questions which Kaidoh appreciated. He didn't think that he would have been able to hold it together if he had had to come up with an excuse for his blushing.

"Kaidoh, would you mind if I asked you some questions so that I can make you the most appropriate training regime and diet plan?"

Kaidoh considered his sempai for a moment then nodded, he could answer some questions, he could hold himself together for that. They sat, cross legged, together next to the river, Inui pulling his note book out of his school bag.

"OK. Firstly, what are your favourite foods?"

Kaidoh blinked, he wasn't expecting this sort of questions, But then again, he reasoned, if he wanted to set a diet it would make sense to know what foods I like.

"Sushi" He replied simplistically. Inui scribbled into his note book, he'd already learnt that if Kaidoh did not elaborate then it was because he didn't need to.

"How is you health at this present moment?"

"Fine."

"Do you take vitamins and minerals every day?"

"Yes."

"Do you watch a lot of television."

"Some." Inui set down his note book, looked Kaidoh in the eye and asked, off handedly.

"What sort of programs do you watch?"

Kaidoh relaxed a bit and gladly accepted the invitation of conversation. They were quickly engaged into a large discussion into various television programs they both enjoyed. I love this. Inui-sempai looks so relaxed its really nice being able to talk to him like this. I think I'm gonna really enjoy training with him.
