Dancing Queen

"So, Touya-san, I hear you and Shindou 9-dan have something going on between the two of you," said Gossip Number One with a significant waggle of her eyebrows.

Gossip Number Two raised her pinky in some sort of coded gesture. "Rivals, is it?" she chimed in.

Touya sighed. Ten years was far too soon for a junior high school reunion as far as he was concerned. While his senpai from the Go club had, for the most part, somehow evolved into civilized human beings, a fair number of the female members obviously needed more excitement in their lives.

He managed to excuse himself from the chittering mass of women by saying he wanted to find Shindou.

"Don't let us keep you, Touya-san, we wouldn't want to keep you away from your rival."

"It's so sweet, isn't it?"

He found Shindou gawking at Hidaka, who had grown even taller and bustier since junior high. She was wearing a very short red dress and being spun around by Kishimoto in a dance that could only be described as indecently leggy.

Touya restrained himself from doing something rash and merely tapped Shindou on the shoulder.

"Hm? Oh, hi."

Oh, hi?

"Enjoying the view?" Touya asked coolly.

"Yeah," Shindou said, finally tearing his eyes away from the spectacle. "I'd just forgotten how hot Kishimoto-san is."
