It's been like a month since I first started this story... Hehe. Oops. Well here's the next chapter! Thank you to anyone who followed and favorited, and super special thanks to Whiskey Bloodsbane Pincher for reviewing! :D


Kashima getting picked up (by girls)

It was Saturday, and Kashima was bored. So she went out to wander the streets, watching people walking by. It was a nice, warm day, and she was glad to be outside.

"Wow, handsome," a voice said behind her.

She turned and smiled dashingly at the two older women behind her. "Hello. Can I help you?"

"How about we help you?" the first girl asked with a sly smile. "You seem lost, little puppy."

"Not at all, my princess," Kashima said as she entered Prince mode. She took the girl's hand, staring intently into her eyes. "How could I possibly get lost when you're around? If I was lost now, what would become of you? I don't want to lose you."

"Oh my." The second girl giggled. "Someone's good with words. Come on, what do you have to say to me?"

Kashima glanced at the second girl and smiled. "Mere words couldn't possibly describe how happy I feel to be able to see your beautiful face even on a Saturday."

"Wanna do something fun?" the first girl asked.

"Like what?" Kashima replied, getting excited.

"Hm. Karaoke?" the second girl suggested.

"Ah, no thank you, no thank you." Kashima quickly shook her head, thinking about how deaf tone she was. "How about the arcade instead?"

"Sure."

Hori had been sent out to run a few errands when he spotted a familiar blue head in the crowd. Don't tell me that's…

Kashima's face came into view. It is.

Hori ignored her, hoping she wouldn't notice him. The last thing he needed was that noisy, troublesome girl to follow him around. As he crossed the road, he glanced back at her. She was talking to two other women. No, she was flirting with two other women.

What the hell is that idiot doing? He thought. Is she so bored that she's going around picking up women off the street?

Pausing, he watched the three talking, analyzing the other girls' behavior. Nevermind. It must be the other way around. Then the three began walking somewhere else. What? Where are they going? Don't tell me Kashima that you're about to get taking advantage of?!

Ah whatever. Hori turned around and began walking towards his destination. What that idiot does has nothing to do with me.


"Let's not go to the arcade, Kashima-kun," the first girl, Nakagawa, said, tugging on Kashima's sleeve. "Let's go somewhere even more fun."

"Where?" Kashima asked.

"It'll be a surprise," the second girl, Hashimoto, said with a smile. "Just follow us."

"Okay!"

They turned away from their initial path and began heading somewhere else. Kashima couldn't tell where they were going, but she didn't mind. Maybe we're going to a public bath to relax! Or go hiking through a mountain. Maybe we'll visit a shrine!

They arrived in front of a majestic building.

"A hotel?" Kashima said, tilting her head in confusion. "What's fun about a hotel?"

"This isn't a normal hotel," Nakagawa said. "It has a lot more things than a normal hotel has."

"Like what?" Kashima asked.

"Like toys, and musical instruments, and, you know, whatever you can think of!" Hashimoto said.

"Oh. I see!"

The three were about to enter when a voice called it. "Wait! Kashima!" They turned towards the voice as a figure sprinted towards them. "You… idiot!"

Hori's foot connected with Kashima's face, and she dropped to the ground. The girls gasped.

"Kashima-kun!"

"Are you okay?"

Kashima's head lolled around before her eyes snapped open in a dazzling light. "Senpai! What are you doing here?"

"You idiot!" Hori yelled, before pointing up at a sign on the building. "Don't you know how to read?"

Kashima stared at the sign. "Yeah. Love hotel. I read that though!"

"Don't you know what that means?"

"Um… A hotel full of love? Made of love?"

Hori facepalmed. "Nevermind. We're leaving. Come on." He grabbed the back of her shirt and began dragging her back.

"Hey wait!" Nakagawa said. Hori glanced back, and she smiled sweetly at him. "Do you want to join, Kashima-kun's friend?"

Hori frowned. "No. And, this idiot here is a girl!" He lifted Kashima up who waved at the girls with a smile.

"What?" Nakagawa said. "That's such a stupid lie."

"Ah, no, it's true, Nakagawa-san," Kashima replied. "I'm a girl. Do you wanna see?" She started to lift up her shirt.

"Not here you idiot!" Hori said.

"Bye Nakagawa-san, bye Hashimoto-san!"

"Um, bye Kashima-kun." The two girls weren't quite as enthusiastic after that.

"So what were you doing around here, senpai?" Kashima asked, once the two were back on the busier roads.

"I just happened to see you about to enter a love hotel," Hori said. There was no way he could admit that he'd followed her out of concern. "Those girls were trying to take advantage of you."

"Really? But they were really nice!" Kashima said, grinning sheepishly.

Hori wanted to facepalm again. "Just be more careful next time."

"But once they found out I was a girl, wouldn't it all be okay?" she asked.

No you idiot. No matter what stuff like that isn't okay. But he didn't say that. He just turned away with a disapproving frown.

"Don't worry, senpai!" Kashima clapped him on the shoulder. "I'll be more careful next time! Thanks for worrying about me!"

"Who's worried about you?" Hori said. "I just don't want your acting skills and pretty face to go to waste."

"So senpai thinks I'm pretty?" she asked as her eyes widened and began to sparkle.

He let out a frustrated sound. "Just go home already! Quit following me!"


Hori getting picked up (if it ever happened…)

"Hi there! Do you wanna come play with us?" Two girls approached Hori on the street.

"We can go to karaoke~!"

"Or maybe get something to eat?"

"Um, no thank you," Hori said, nodding at them politely.

"Oh come on!"

"Don't you want to hang out with us beautiful Onee-chans?"

"Hooooooriiiii-chaaaaan-seeeeenpaiiiiiiii!"

Hori froze as the voice became steadily louder. Suddenly Kashima was standing in front of him, beaming with pure joy. "Senpai! Hi!"

"H-Hello Kashima." So much for a peaceful day.

"Oh, are these your friends, senpai?" Kashima pointed at the two other girls.

"Hello!" the girls said. Their smiles were much brighter when they saw Kashima. "Wanna get something to eat with us?"

"Sure! Eat what?" Kashima said.

"Kashima! We're leaving! Now!" Hori grabbed her by the shirt.

"But your friends-"

"They're not my friends! I don't even know their names," he said, dragging her away from the extremely disappointed girls.

"What? That's so rude, senpai."

He sighed.


Yeah so I need some cliche ideas. I'm working on the fever one right now. ^-^ And I am considering doing: Lost in woods, twisted ankle, met before when they were kids and/or childhood promise.

Ideas please! :D And reviews would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
