Chapter 6: A New Relationship

"Hideyoshi, I need to tell you something." Dan said. Everyone was overhearing the conversation.

"Yes, Dan?"

"Well, when I said that I liked Yuuko, I actually was trying to hide it. I actually love you, even if you are a boy." Everyone tried really hard not to scream. Hideyoshi started to blush.

"Well, the reason I like you is because you treat me a way I wanted to be treated for a long time. You make me feel like myself." Hideyoshi explained.

"Well, how about we become a couple." Dan suggested.

"Are you serious?" Hideyoshi asked.

"Does this answer your question?" And with that, Dan shared a long and passionate kiss with Hideyoshi. Everyone started to squeal outside the door. Dan and Hideyoshi started to laugh, cuddled, and fell asleep. The next morning Yuuji and Akihisa woke up to see Dan playing his Xbox.

"So did you and Hideyoshi do anything last night?" Akihisa said while snickering.

"No…that wasn't funny at all!" Dan said. "I'm bored! I'm going to go to the arcade. When everyone wakes up you guys can come along." And with that, Dan headed for the arcade. A half an hour later everyone came to see Dan playing Dance Dance Revolution. His legs were moving at lightning speed.

"He…he's too fast." Dan's opponent said.

"Oh you haven't seen fast until you see my DDR ability." Dan said with an evil grin. "GET DOWN!" Once Dan said that, he was spinning in a spherical motion hitting every arrow. Once the song ended, Dan had broken the high score for the machine. Hideyoshi ran up to him and gave him a congratulatory kiss.

"How come you don't treat me like that Yuuji?" Shoko sincerely asked.

"Cause I don't like you woman!" Yuuji answered.

"Hey where's Yuuko?" Dan asked.

"She said she didn't want to see you, what did you do?" Akihisa asked.

"Dude, I don't even know. Then again, who would know? Does anyone even understand this story? I mean seriously." Dan ranted about.

"What are you talking about?" Hideyoshi asked.

"You guys wouldn't understand."

Everyone decided to go to the pool, as it was their last day on the trip. Everyone met by the pool with their swimming wear on.

"Dude do you ever wear swimming trunks?" Dan asked Hideyoshi.

"Like I said, I accidentally grabbed Yuuko's bikini."

Everybody was in the pool except Mizuki, Aiko, Hideyoshi, and Dan.

"A lot has occurred on this trip. Mostly you guys have found out secrets about me, and I'm in a new relationship."

"I know what you mean. I'm going to hop in the pool, are you coming?" Hideyoshi asked.

"Hydrophobic, remember?"

Hideyoshi jumped in the pool anyways. While everyone was having fun, Dan saw Yuuko walk up to him.

"Where have you been all day? We've been worried about you." Dan said.

"I've just been doing some thinking. I wonder if I will ever find a mate in my life."

"You just have to keep looking. Eventually you will find one." Dan explained. "Go on in the pool. Enjoy your last day at the hotel." At that instant, Yuuko grabbed Dan's wrist and dragged him into the pool. Dan immediately "smoke stepped" out of the water and onto the side. "Are you crazy!"

"No, just a friend."

The next morning everyone started to head home. Hideyoshi was again on the back of Dan's motorcycle. Yuuji called Dan's Bluetooth to relay him news.

"Make sure you study as soon as we get home, we actually have an ST War Tuesday."

"So, my first ST War. This will be perfect. Time for the school to learn who I am."

"Don't get so cocky, were going against 2-C."

"Oh I'm never cocky; I just hope I get a good fight."

"Are you sure you can handle it? Or do you need to sit this one out."

"Trust me, I'll be fine. As long as I have Hideyoshi, we can win this."

"That's nice of you to say Dan." Hideyoshi said.

"There's actually only one thing I could say…Get Ready."
