A/N: You guys have seriously no idea how much I enjoy reading the reviews you leave. After I posted up that last chapter, I had some things to do so I actually had to (*shudders*) go outside. But when I came back, I came back to all these nice and funny reviews from you guys like always, and it brought a huge smile to my face.

There I was at midnight reading reviews and giggling like a schoolgirl as I read them, thinking of you guys and just how lucky I am to have people like you.

I know I've said stuff to that accord before, but I figured that I should say it again, because I don't think it gets said enough.

Alright, all sappiness aside, let's get on to the actual story, eh? I think you're all anxious to see what happens between out characters and frankly, so am I.

"So, let me get this straight." Ira began as he leaned back in his chair that looked as thought it would buckle under his sheer stature at any moment, "Nonon is…"

"Head over heels, puppy dog-grade, bug-bitten, top-level smitten, in love with none other than Ryuko Matoi!" Uzu declared as he spun around in his chair, cackling the whole time.

The Elite Four and Satsuki's hideout was nothing more than a small shed off Stonewall's campus that no one ever used anymore. Originally the shack had been utilized to store sports equipment and uniforms, but after it got robbed by some delinquent gang a few times, Stonewall's principal decided that it was hurting the school financially and eventually abandoned it. After some scouting, Hōka thought it the perfect place to set up. After a few hours of man labor (and Uzu…), the shack was now a mess with cords, cables, computers and screens running figures on various data, and a medium sized table in the middle with five fine leather office chairs. Three of which were being occupied by Ira, Hōka, and Uzu.

Ignoring Uzu's laughing fit, Ira turned to Hōka and inquired, "Is this true, Hōka?" he gave Uzu and Hōka a once over as he further inquired, "And why did you two come in yesterday dressed to the nines?"

Hōka adjusted his glasses and a frown perpetually stained his face as he spoke, "Although we only have audio, from their dialogue it is reasonable enough to assume that Nonon is truly very infatuated with Miss Matoi."

"And the suits were because we had some business at Satsuki's." Uzu explained.

"But, if this happens then-" Ira began, concern tainting his voice.

"Don't worry, I've already been over this with him," Hōka droned as he gestured to Uzu, "he says that he's 'moving things along'."

"Which I am!" Uzu retorted, loosing his balance and nearly falling off of his chair in the process.

"If you are, I fail to see how." Ira replied as he wistfully placed his elbows on the table.

"Big talk from the guy who has a sweet spot himself for Matoi's little friend!" Uzu replied, smiling broadly as he watched a slight blush creep up Ira's face.

"THAT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!" Ira shrieked in reply as he buried his face in his hands.

Hōka and Uzu both slid their chairs a little further away from the sulking Ira, and Uzu looked around their colossal friend while giving Hōka a look that said, 'Great minds think alike.' Only to be countered from Hōka over the rims of his glasses that said, 'Just leave him be…' then gestured to the corner of the room to beckon Uzu over there.

Uzu obliged and when they got over there he inquired, "What?"

"I think it's best if we leave Ira there to his own isolation for him to sort out his own dilemmas and conundrums." Hōka explained.

"If you say so…" Uzu trailed off in an aloof tone.

"Look," Hōka began as he adjusted his glasses, "are you sure Satsuki's going to react the way you think she will?"

Uzu grabbed the tip of his chin and hummed as he mulled over the inquiry. "Well," he began, "sure within a region of about 63%."

"63%?!" Hōka exclaimed as he recoiled, nearly hitting his hip on the corner of the table.

"Look at it this way," Uzu said in a reassuring tone, "at least it's better than half!"

"By a minuscule margin!" Hōka silently snapped.

"But a margin just minuscule enough to make a difference." Uzu eloqently retorted as he leaned up against the wall.

Hōka sighed and decided it was best not to argue it. "By the way," Hōka said as he leaned up next to Uzu against the wall, "I have the file ready. I'll present it to Satsuki the next time I see her."

"You might not want to do that." Uzu warned as he twirled a lock of his hair with his right index finger.

"Oh?" Hōka inquired, mildly surprised, "What happened to Mr. 'Show it to Satsuki ASAP'?"

"The same thing that happened to Mr. 'I'll tell you what she eats for breakfast'," Uzu retorted, "except a little different."

"Elucidate." Hōka suspiciously replied.

"It's always 'elucidate' with you," Uzu griped, "maybe you should try something different like…explicate!"

"Your vocabulary suggestions are duly noted," Hōka replied, "but reverting to the original purpose here."

"I just don't think now is the right time…" Uzu explained as he ruffled the collar on his coat, "I'm afraid that if we do that right now, Satsuki will blow more of a gasket than even I anticipated. Said gasket will fly off," Uzu made a gesture of him getting pegged in the head by something, "and hurt us more than anyone."

"Seeing as how we just escaped probation my menial labor, you may have a point." Hōka agreed, worry on his face.

"Of course I do." Uzu said with a grin. Hōka, disgusted as ever at Uzu's confidence, watched on as Uzu continued, "No, we have to wait for just the right moment. And when that moment comes, I'll tell you, trust me."

Hōka huffed out of indifference, and then replied, "Very well…I'll…" Hōka almost gagged at the words on his lips, "trust your judgement."

"See?" Uzu said as he patted Hōka on the back, "Was that so hard?"

"Extremely." Hōka deadpanned.

"Of course it wasn't!" Uzu responded, disregarding Hōka's snide retort.

It was at that moment that the doors to the shed swung open, and in walked the woman of the hour herself; Nonon Jakuzure. Except, this Nonon had a different air about her than normally. Nonon usually exuded spite, snideness, and cockiness; more so than even Uzu. And she usually walked in, made some rude remark to Uzu or Hōka, jeered at Ira, and then kicked back and relaxed until Satsuki arrived. But not today.

Today, Nonon was upbeat, cheery, and gave off a sort of euphoria so rarely found among the plebeian world that it was highly sought after, and manifested itself in only one particular emotion. An emotion that Nonon had been feeling ever since her little encounter with Ryuko yesterday in the locker room.

'Even her hands are silky smooth…' Nonon thought as she remembered the subtle caress of Ryuko's hands on her breasts, and how she groped them not too hard, but hard enough to ensure pleasure, 'and they weren't cold, despite her being outside that long…they were actually really warm…'

Nonon swooned over the thought of her raven haired mistress, and noticeably so.

"My my," Uzu slyly commented as he walked towards Nonon, who was spinning around in her chair, giggling all the while,"what's got the Snake so upbeat today?"

"Oh, shut it Monkey," Nonon retorted, still sounding cheery while insulting Uzu, "not even you can get me down today."

"Big talk from a little Snake." Uzu remarked, causing Nonon to stop her spinning and cut the happiness to face Uzu, "Would this have something to do with your cheerleading escapades with a one Miss Ryuko Matoi, would it?"

Nonon tried her best to hide her blush as she replied, "Wh-What are you talking about, Idiot Monkey?"

"Oh, nothing…" Uzu trailed off in an almost musical tone, "It's just you seem so upbeat ever since that cheerleading practice, that I'm beginning to wonder if something happened between you and Ryuko."

Nonon could no longer conceal the blush, and wailed, "IF IT DID, THEN IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!"

"Ah, so you don't deny it!" Uzu declared, eliciting a sigh from Hōka and Ira.

"I thought I told you it wasn't any of your damn business?" Nonon snapped, asserting her full chest-level size stature against Uzu.

"Nothing's ever really my business to begin with," Uzu replied in an aloof tone, "I just make it my business."

Nonon jumped and thwacked Uzu on the crown of his head, and Hōka picked his tablet off of a nearby table and muttered, "Adding that one to the chart…"

"You actually made one?" Uzu inquired, halfways surprised, halfways not.

"I said I would, didn't I?" Hōka replied as he set his tablet down.

Uzu smirked at that and replied, "So you did…" returning his attention to the woman of the our, he cooed as he walked circles around Nonon, "Aww, does wittle Non-Non wanna give Wyuko a wittle," he rested he hands on her shoulders and began to say, "ki-" but was cut short by Nonon driving her right elbow into Uzu's gut, causing him to exhale out of pain and fall to his knees as he clenched his gut.

"For-" Uzu uttered in between breathless hacks, "For your information, I saw that coming from a mile away."

"Hmph," Nonon huffed, "then why didn't you dodge it?"

Uzu rose to his feet and replied, "I don't know. I guess because I figured I deserved it." Nonon cocked her head to the side out of curiosity and Uzu continued, "I don't know what I did, and I don't know when I did it, but I probably deserve it for something…"

"I can get you veritable chart," Hōka mumbled, "complete with a dichotomous key…"

"That set aside," Uzu began as he dusted off and disregarded Hōka's comment, "where's Satsuki?"

"Satsuki's mother came home today." Ira said, suddenly arisen form his slump, much to the shock of everyone there.

"So Mrs. Kiryuin is back in town, eh?" Uzu cockily inquired.

"Yes," Ira replied, "and you know how they are; always have to spend the day together when she's back in town."

"I guess I can compliment them on that…" Uzu grumbled as he dusted off his coat and tugged at his cadet blue vest.

"Guess?" Ira inquired, sounding quite disappointed, "It's familial loyalty! And they barely get to see each other as it is!"

"Cry me a river…" Uzu retorted as he kicked back in his chair.

Ira felt every muscle in his body tense up out of fury and rage as he rose up to make a move on the Sanageyama. Hōka darted to the scene and outstretched his arm in front of Ira and said, "It's not worth it. Trust me, I've tried…"

Ira scowled at Uzu who shrugged and shot a devilish grin back at him as he sat down.

"You know, as much fun as it is watching shit hit the fan here," Nonon began as she stood up, "I'm gonna go, I have…things to do…"

As Nonon got up and walked away, Uzu called after her, "Pics or it didn't happen!" to which Nonon responded with a sole finger, the middle one, as she continued her trot towards the door.

"You disgust me sometimes…" Ira mumbled as he gazed over to Uzu.

"Sometimes?" Hōka muttered in reply, eliciting a light chuckle from the Sanageyama.

Nonon simply huffed at all this mess and thought to herself, 'Well that was easy. Now to just get to the locker room and-'

"Out of mild curiosity," Hōka called right before Nonon was out the door, stopping her dead in her tracks and simultaneously interrupting her thought train, "what possible business could you have right as Stonewall's about to be let out?"

"Uh…" Nonon stammered, "sh-shut it Doggie, this doesn't concern you!"

"Does it really not?" Hōka retorted as he leaned his right hand on the table, "Because I'm pretty sure our affairs should be collectively mutual in their nature. Or knowledge of them, at least. Without proper cooperation and communication, this group will surely fail."

Nonon recoiled a bit at Hōka's remark, and Uzu clapped in approval as he said, "My my Hōka, icier than ever, I see."

"Like an icicle, my dear Sanageyama," Hōka replied with a smug grin crawling up his face, "and sharp as one to boot."

With the group all collectively staring Nonon down, she was sweating enough bullets to supply an entire platoon.

"Miss Jakuzure!" Ira boomed, "I demand you divulge the details of what you are about to do, right now!"

Nonon took a few steps back, now completely out of the doorway, and some words began to form on her lips. Just as she was about to complete whatever she was going to say, she cut it short and slammed the door behind her as she said, "See ya~!" and ran off.

Ira began to make a few steps forward, but Hōka stopped him yet again and said, "Don't worry, we'll still be able to keep an eye on her…"

Uzu snickered as he replied, "We could always use some more material…" and rose up out of his chair, "Plus, it's entertaining material…"

"God, you're hopeless…" Hōka chuckled sarcastically as he rummaged around in his pocket and produced the speaker.

"What are you two getting at?" Ira said, mighty suspicious.

"That was a nice bobby pin she was wearing, wouldn't you say so, Uzu?" Hōka inquired as he turned and gave a smirk to Uzu.

Uzu returned that smirk and replied, "Just fabulous…" as he gave Hōka a friendly high five.

"So that bobby pin was…" Ira began as he looked at the speaker.

"The bug I planted on her yesterday." Hōka replied as he pulled up a seat and began to tune the frequency of the speaker.

"Somehow I knew she would still be wearing it…" Uzu mused as he too pulled up a seat next to the speaker.

"Did you honestly expect anything else?" Hōka retorted calmly, "Or did you know this would happen?"

"Somewhere between those two," Uzu replied, "I'll tell you when I figure it out."

"I'll be waiting…" Hōka trailed off as he finally found the right frequency. "Alright, listen up!"

"This is gonna be good…" Uzu mused as every crowded in and listened up.

Nonon sat in the locker room, leaned up against the wall and feverishly awaiting Ryuko's arrival. She played with her hair as she contemplated everything that Ryuko could possibly want to ask her, including certain things that she herself would've normally thought absolutely ridiculous. She let out a small yawn as she looked at the time on her phone.

'What the hell?' Nonon thought to herself as she scanned the locker room and shoved her phone back in her pocket, 'Classes should be over by now, what' s going on?' she slammed her foot against the locker behind her and let out a small wail out of amorous sorrow and disappoint. 'Calm down, Nonon,' Nonon reassuringly thought to herself, 'she's probably got a good reason for being late…' upon that thought, Nonon had a sudden burst of realization. 'Unless this was all a ploy,' Nonon thought as she rose up from her sitting position, 'and she was doing all of this just to fuck with my heart, that-'

Before Nonon could finish her sentence, a familiar voice called her and said, "Hey, sorry I'm late…"

Nonon looked down to see a stunning sight awaiting her at the other end of the aisle, dressed to the nines in a flattering tuxedo. The undershirt was just tight enough that it perfectly accentuated Ryuko's ample breasts, and the jet black pinstriped jacket over it wasn't too oppressive, nor was it too submissive. The matching trousers were tight on Ryuko's long, perfect legs, and in exchange for her normal green sneakers, she wore polished dress shoes.

There Ryuko stood, scratching the back of her head with her right hand, somewhat embarrassed by the outfit, and leaving Nonon swooning over this vision of loveliness before her. "I hope you like this…" Ryuko demurely said, "I don't often wear stuff like this, but Mako let me borrow her dad's, so I figured, 'why not?'".

Ryuko shyly chuckled as she advanced towards Nonon, who was frozen yet again out of shock at what stood before her. "Uh, Uh…" Nonon stammered, fearing that if she attempted to form a coherent sentence, it would ruin the whole moment.

Disregarding that assumption, Nonon managed to pipe up and say, "S-So, what is it?"

Ryuko stiffened up, and froze in her tracks as she replied, "O-Oh, getting right to the point I see…"

Nonon cocked her head to the side out of confusion and inquired, "Something wrong?"

"N-No, it's not that…" Ryuko trailed off as she continued to walk towards Nonon, her feet unsteady all the way, "It's just that, well…"

"Ok, now I know something's wrong." Nonon said with a small grin as she met Ryuko halfway in the middle and grabbed her left arm with her right hand.

Ryuko looked down at the pinkette, and smiled as she said, "If you must know, I was scared."

"Scared? Of little me?" Nonon coyly replied. Ryuko chuckled, and Nonon inquired, "What could you possibly be scared of?"

"I was just scared of what ya would say when I asked you what I was about to ask ya." Ryuko replied, desperately trying to conceal her blush.

Nonon smiled as she wrapped her hands around Ryuko's waist, and delicately pushed some of Ryuko's ravishing raven locks (her one red one inclusive) out of her face and tracing its frame. "Don't be scared, I come off as snippy but I'm not all that bad."

"Same." Ryuko replied with a small chuckle, eliciting the same from Nonon.

"Go ahead," Nonon said, ever so delicately, "and whatever it is, I'll do my best to not get mad."

"I guess that's reassuring…" Ryuko playfully teased.

The air between Nonon and Ryuko seemed to have a bizarre feeling wafting through it, one that was so desperately sought after by so many people. Time seemed frozen, and nothing else mattered. Ryuko steeled her nerves, and began to utter the words that would make or break her.

"Nonon Jakuzure," Ryuko shakily began, "'seems that you feel the same way about you, no wait," Ryuko said as she thumped herself on the forehead with her free hand, "i-it seems that you feel the same way about me, as I feel about me-no! Agh!" Ryuko was about to thump herself again before Nonon grabbed her hand mid-swing and slowly lowered it back to her side.

"I think what you're trying to say is that we feel the same way about each other, am I right?" Nonon carefully inquired.

"Yeah! That's it!" Ryuko said as she snapped her fingers. She realized how worked up she was getting over the matter and quickly said, "Sorry, I'm getting too worked up over this, aren't I?"

Nonon giggled and replied, "No, it's fine. It's really cute, actually."

Ryuko tensed up and blushed even deeper at the word 'cute', and could only stammer out a weak (but heartfelt), "Th-thanks…" in reply.

Ryuko then straightened up, asserting her fully height advantage over Nonon, and began to proudly inquire, "Nonon, I know this might seem sudden, and I don't know if your up for it, but would you…" Ryuko took a deep breath as she continued, "go out with m-"

Ryuko was cut short, but she knew the answer when she feel sweet-as-cherry lips on hers. It was then that Ryuko realized that in the middle of her little monologue, Nonon had taken the time to rise up on her tiptoes so that she could be at kissing level with Ryuko. Taking advantage of said kissing level, Nonon had slowly, but surely, moved her mouth closer and closer to Ryuko's, eventually locking their lips together in what Nonon felt was one of the best kisses she'd ever had.

It was warm and encapsulating, and caused both parties to completely shut off the world around them, focusing only on the intense heat of passion begin generated betwixt them. Ryuko instantly knew that it was a 'yes', and took advantage of that to deepen the kiss, as they unlocked and locked lips in a gentle flurry of kisses, each one better than the one before. On one significantly long one, Ryuko took the opportunity and begged entrance for her tongue. Nonon was shaky at first, but obliged the offer, and their tongues intertwined, swirling around in one another's mouth as they continued to kiss, the flame of their romance only intensifying with each passing second.

Taking a second, the two broke their kiss to catch their breath, still momentarily linked by a single dangling strand of saliva that hung between the two before it broke and dangled on Ryuko's face. Nonon couldn't help but crack a small giggle at that, and pointed to the remains that tainted Ryuko's chin. Ryuko blushed at the fact and quickly used her free arm to rub it away, lowering down and burying her head in Nonon's shoulder out of embarrassment. Nonon carefully caressed Ryuko's head, running her right hand up and down through Ryuko's marvelously feathery do, whispering sweet nothings to her to comfort her.

After a minute or two of this, Nonon said, "Time and date?"

"Eh?" Ryuko inquired, too caught up in the euphoria to hear what Nonon was saying.

"For our date, silly." Nonon said as she turned her head to look at Ryuko in the eyes. "What time, and when?"

"Oh! Uh…" Ryuko said as she began to think hardly. After a few minutes, she shyly looked to Nonon and inquired, "Got any ideas?"

Nonon sighed and playfully said, "You're hopeless…"

"Hey…" Ryuko just as playfully responded, and the two took a seat on the ground, Ryuko's arm around Nonon as she held her tight, and placed her chin on her head while the two leaned up agains the lockers.

"How about tomorrow, after school?" Nonon suggested, and she could feel Ryuko's jaw move as she allowed a smile to cross her lips.

"Yeah, that sounds great…" Ryuko amorously trailed off. After a minute, she had a moment of realization, then lowered her head to get on eye level with Nonon and exuberantly declared, "I've got it!"

"What?" And equally as exuberant Nonon inquired.

"I know a little park a few blocks from here," Ryuko began, "it's a nice little place with benches, a lake, and beautiful trees and flowers that should be in bloom around this time of year and, oh, the whole place is just bursting with beautiful things!" Nonon and Ryuko were both equally overjoyed at the suggestion, but Ryuko calmed down for a second and put on her most charming grin as she locked eyes once again with Nonon, got in close enough that their noses touched and said, "I guess tomorrow, I'll have to add one more thing to it's list of beautiful things."

Nonon was instantly flushed with a tomato red blush, but she countered the compliment with another and donned her own charming grin as she said, "Two, you mean."

This time, it was Ryuko who was flushed. But she shook it off, and giggled as she said, "Then it's a date." as she leaned in and the couple locked lips yet again.

However, in the very dark recesses of Nonon's mind, she couldn't help but think, 'What did I just get myself into…'

"Either my hearing's going bad," Uzu began as Hōka began to pack up the speaker and he kicked his feet up on the table in its place, "or I just heard that Snake and Matoi have a saucy little date tomorrow."

"Your hearing is (unfortunately) as good as ever…" Hōka droned as he sighed at the whole situation.

"So, still 'moving things along' Uzu?" Ira angrily inquired.

"As a matter of fact, yes my dear Mr. Gamagōri." Uzu confidently replied as he lowered his head and began messing with his hair.

"If you are, I fail to see how!" Hōka exclaimed as he slammed his hand on the table.

"Lighten up, Inumuta," Uzu reassuringly said, "I had this all planned out for ahead of time."

"You did?" A surprised Ira and Hōka inquired in unison.

"Absolutely." Uzu confidently answered, "We just have to make the right moves and Matoi will be all over Satsuki…"

Hōka and Ira gave dubious looks to Uzu, but sighed and figured they might as well not fight it. "Alright," Ira began, "I don't know why but you have my full cooperation in this endeavor."

"Why thank you." Uzu (almost) genuinely replied. He then turned to Hōka and said, "Hōka, we might as well get this going as soon as possible, no?"

"I don't see why not." Hōka replied as he raised an eyebrow at the comment.

"Excellent," Uzu said as he clapped his hands together, "get me this audio, ASAP. We have a certain someone to show it to…someone who I think is going to absolutely love it…"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A/N: And another one bites the dust at the clutches of the dashing and debonaire Uzu Sanageyama.

There, I opened the A/N like you wanted, happy?

"Well, it could've used better delivery-"

Great, thanks see ya later, Uzu!

Now that he's gone, let's get a proper A/N going, eh?

So Nonon and Ryuko have a date coming up, I wonder how that's going to turn out…And Uzu seems pretty keen on showing those audio files to a certain someone, and I think we all know who that is. The question is, how will they react? And what are these 'right moves' that Uzu spoke of? Most importantly, what is Nonon gonna wear on the date?
