Misfits Run

Chapter 6

"The cupid with the Blonde wig"


Usagi walked to her house with Seiya after school had ended. Usagi had invited him over for dinner-she had invited Makoto over as well but her tall brown haired friend had declined the offer. Makoto had told her that she had to go home and spruce up her new apartment and unpack a few more boxes.

Makoto had said it with a smile but her tone of voice had betrayed her,it had broken slightly giving Usagi the impression that Makoto was incredibly sad for some reason. This made Usagi frown, because Makoto had been happy up until she and Seiya had announced that they had arranged Taiki a date with Mizurei.

That was when it hit her! Either it was that of realization or acme was having a sale on invisible two pound anvils. Makoto was just lonely! Duh! Poor Mako-chan, she had no one to go home to and welcome her with hugs and kisses, no mother or father to ask her how her day was and if she had homework to do. Makoto had no one to lean on in her time of need, she had no one to hold her and comfort her and tell her things would be okay in her time of mourning. Well she did have Usagi and Seiya, but Usagi was thinking more 'intimate ' sort of way.

Usagi then made a silent vow, when this date with Mizurei and Taiki passed, she would go in search of the perfect boyfriend for Makoto. Yeah! That is what she was going to do! As soon as she got more male clients she would search for those with the best compatibility with her Mako-chan.

Seiya and Usagi stepped through the front gate that led up to the Tsukino residence and through the front door. They both changed shoes once inside, Usagi put on a pink set of slippers that had her name imprinted on the soles Kanji and Hiragana with a small bunny stitched right under her name. Seiya used the guest pair by the door, Usagi had once joked that since he came over so often that he should buy a pair and leave them at her house, it didn't sound like a bad idea either.

The nearly inseparable pair were then greeted by Ikuko; Usagi's mother. She informed them in a sweet angelic tone that dinner would be ready in an other hour-and that the two could go and loiter about the house until the meal was ready to be devoured by the family. The two friends grinned at one another mischievously once Ikuko's back was turned. Usagi then dashed back towards the family room and into the hall where her dads office was located, running into the room she shut the door behind her and heard a thud...a very loud thud.

"Odango! Odango Atama let me in!!!" It was Seiya,Usagi looked behind her and saw that Seiya was not in the room with her. Usagi sweat dropped and opened the door for him. What she saw when she opened the door nearly made her laugh.

Seiya had his hand over his nose and he was glaring at her evilly. He stepped through the door while still eying his close friend carefully.

"Ah aha! I guess I closed the door on you too early eh?" Usagi said sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head. Seiya continued to give her the evil eye, while covering his nose with his hand. Seiya muttered antagonistically as he marched up to the desk and planted himself down on the office chair, Usagi did not protest his action and just grabbed a nearby chair and joined him.

"How's your nose?" Usagi asked him innocently, Seiya shrugged and moved his hand temporarily to wiggle his nose, most likely to see if he could still breath threw it, Seiya than covered it up again. It was not bleeding but it still must have stung, after all,Usagi did slam the door pretty hard.

"It'll be okay" Seiya replied though in a muffled tone because of his hand "Hey! We got a one hundred new requests!" they both grinned and high fived, Usagi and Seiya quickly skimmed through the e-mails.

"They than set up another date, between a girl named Aya and a boy named Satoru, they were going to meet at a restaurant tomorrow afternoon" Another match made! They then skimmed the rest of the profiles and printed them out so that they could file them in their folder, both Usagi and Seiya noticed something, most of the clients were female, the male count was very low despite the large amount of responses. This presented a problem.

"There aren't that many guys signing up now a days" Seiya trailed sadly, Usagi bit down on her lip and thought, harder than she had ever thought before. That was when the invisible light bulb above her head lit and Usagi slammed her fist into her open palm.

"I got it!...OW!" Usagi shook her hand in the air, she had hit it harder than she had intended. This brought on a chuckle from Seiya, Usagi quickly brushed it off and continued to explain "Were going to have to branch out"

"What?" Seiya's face dropped at that, he felt his heart beat faster in fear. 'Please don't say advertise in other schools! Please don't say advertise in other schools' thought Seiya.

"Were going to have to advertise our business in other schools!" Usagi proclaimed excitedly as she threw up her arms to show her enthusiasm.

"Oh bugger" murmured Seiya, he knew that she was going to say that, so why fight it?.

"We should advertise in all boys schools!" Usagi added, Seiya's eye twitched.

"Some how I knew that you were going to say that too" Seiya huffed.

"What was that?" Usagi asked him, her eye brow raised slightly in curiosity. Urgh! She looked so cute when she did that, and Seiya quickly retracted.

"Nothing, lets just print up the fliers okay?" spoke the now defeated Seiya. He could never really deny Usagi, it was just the way things were, and maybe he liked it. Seiya and Usagi then changed topics and began talking about Taiki's upcoming date with Mizurei. They were going to spy on them of course! Seiya had insisted on not wearing a skirt and for once won the argument.

Once Seiya realized that if he went as is...Taiki would recognize instantly. Seiya sweat dropped, he was going to wash the skirt with fabric softener tonight, it was too itchy, he also wondered if had any shaving cream left, he had a lot of stubble on his legs.

-

Makoto was on a mission today, she was not going to let this date go on without a hitch! No way no how! She was going to stop this date, she had a good idea how, she only hoped that it would work. In order to keep undercover; Makoto rented a blond wig and wore a black pencil skirt and a modest pink top to hide her identity.

As unnecessary as it sounded, Makoto did not want to go as herself, she was still a mess around Taiki, she stuttered and blushed uncontrollably. How would she ever successfully get him to fall for her with such a unattractive approach?. Makoto frowned, she wished now more than ever that her mom was still alive to give her advice on boys, she missed speaking with her mother. So much that she wanted to cry. Makoto quickly stopped herself, she had to be strong. Her parents would not have wanted her to act so weak...at least that's what Makoto thought.

After school was over, Makoto quickly parted ways with Usagi and Seiya, stating that she had to go unpack some more things at home and that she could not stake out the date between Taiki and Mizurei. A lie of course, she was going. She did not want to accompany her friends on the date, for obvious reasons. If either Seiya or Usagi had known that she was going to sabotage the date, Makoto knew that she would have been in for it. She was going to do her best to stop Taiki from falling for Mizurei regardless, besides, Makoto had a bad feeling about Taiki's date. She could not explain it, she just felt that something was wrong with Mizurei.

Stopping at shop, Makoto went into the ladies room and changed into her costume. Looking in the mirror Makoto added sunglasses and marveled at how different she looked, she was absolutely stunning! The pencil skirt fit her perfectly, not one inch higher than where it was supposed to be! And the shirt fit her snuggly but comfortably. The blond wig actually looked nice on her, it made her look like a different person.

Smiling at herself, Makoto felt a confidence boost and marched out the bathroom and stuffed her school clothes and bag in a nearby rent locker. She quickly headed in the direction of the restaurant that was a good half an hour away, she didn't care, she was going to make it there on time.

-

Seiya and Usagi sat quietly at their booth, they had arrived around the same time as Taiki. And thankfully they had gone unnoticed. Seiya looked quite fetching today in his disguise, for once his fake breasts look natural and his clothes were not itchy. Usagi donned a black wig to hide her hair, and that was all. Seiya received a few looks from guys in the restaurant, many winked at him flirtatiously. This made Seiya nervous and he blushed. Usagi was getting a kick out of it though.

"Is she here yet?" asked Seiya, Usagi shook her head.

"I have no clue, she did not even leave a description of herself,all she said was that she had dark hair I hope she's pretty though" Usagi replied and Seiya's eyes went wide.

"She didn't leave a description? Oh gods!" Seiya slapped his forehead in worry.

"Seiya! Our fortune is good you know that! With our luck I'm sure she'll be pretty" Usagi reassured her friend, Seiya groaned.

"I hope so! I want Taiki to have a good date, this is his first you know?" Seiya added, Usagi smiled at Seiya.

"That's so cute! Your actually showing concern for Taiki!" Usagi pointed out, Seiya's eyes twitched with embarrassment. He looked away and frowned in defiance, Seiya was macho and did not want to admit that he actually cared for his cousins. Funny how the word macho was used, considering that Seiya was dressed like a girl at the moment.

"I am not! I just want the date to go well because of our business! If we have bad dates than were going to have problems setting up more" Seiya added defiantly, Usagi girnned and eyed him coyly, Seiya bit down on his lip.

"Your such a bad liar Seiya-Chan" Usagi smiled at him, Seiya blushed.

"Just don't say anything to Taiki okay, he'll use it against me" Seiya finally let down his gaurd, Usagi nodded and promised that she would never tell Taiki about Seiya's love for his family. Besides, she had to keep it secret anyway, if Taiki ever found out about the two being present on his first date, they ran the risk of blowing their cover.

"Now lets just hope they get along" Usagi tilted her head and smile, Seiya returned her gesture, this was her way of calming him down.

"They better go along,after were going threw they better date"

-

Taiki felt his blood boil from beneath his skin, he was absolutely thrilled about the date, but also incredibly nervous!. Taiki had never been on a date before, as silly as that may sound to you, this was going to be his first date; and Taiki hoped that it would go off without a hitch. Taiki stopped himself and breathed in a few times to relax himself.

"It's only a date, it's only a date...your first date" ah! Why was he so nervous? This was his big chance to meet a nice girl! Obviously she was okay with his personality other wise she would not have agreed to see him...right?. Taiki suddenly felt sick to his stomach.

"Maybe I shouldn't go" Taiki walked back and forth in front of a convenience store, two clerks watched him from inside, the two eyed him questionably. "No then she'll think I'm rude and tell the school!" Taiki grumbled and talked to himself like this and waved his arms about in frustration, the clerks inside the store continued to watch him.

"Should we call the police? He's chasing the customers away" said one of the clerks as he watched Taiki go about his way from outside the store, he was growing annoyed by the tall man.

"No, this happens every couple of months or so, it's probably his first date or something" said the other clerk and went on to pricing items in the store.

Finally Taiki stopped and calmed himself down and straightened his posture. Cracking his knuckles and taking deep breaths in he smiled fiercly.

"Your never going to meet someone nice by shying away...I'm going!" Taiki said triumphantly and began to walk towards his destination. After walking five feet away from the store, Taiki stopped and ran into the convenient store he was in front of moments ago. He needed flowers! Roses to be exact, moon and fighter had told him to bring them so that his date would recognize him. With haste, he bought flowers and ran out the store. The two clerks looked at one another once again.

"He comes back I'm calling the cops" the first clerk said bluntly, the second just shrugged his shoulders and went back to work.

Half an hour later, Taiki stood in front of his destination and breathed in before stepping inside it, this was it!. It was now or never, Taiki went up to the host of the restaurant and asked for a table by a window. After being seated Taiki told the waiter that was serving him, that he was expecting someone and that he was going to wait for his date before ordering the meal. The waiter nodded and brought him a glass of water, to drink until then.

Taiki tapped his foot impatiently, he tapped his fingers on the table nervously, waiting for his date, from the corner of his eye Taiki noticed someone, a beautiful girl with blond hair and sunglasses. And she was eying him.
