Well he may not've had anyone that he could talk to, but that wouldn't stop him from trying to talk to his best friend. Monta and Sena walked to school together the following day but it took Sena a while to gather the nerve to mention anything.

"Hey Monta...what would you do if you thought a friend had a crush on you?" he asked slowly.

Monta froze and blushed, giving Sena a suprised look. "You know who it is?" he asked in a bit of a hopeful tone.

This time Sena was a little suprised and curious. "What do you mean?"

"Oh...well...someone's been sending me love letters and I don't know who..." Monta said, pouting a little as he looked at one. They stopped walking once they got to school, Sena giving his best friend a rather curious look.

"Well let's see! You don't recognize the writing?" he asked, trying to get the letter. Monta quickly pulled it away and tried to hide it down the front of his shirt...well...not really the best hiding place in all honesty, he had to hold his hand over his chest to keep it from slipping out the bottom of his shirt. It seemed he was a little embarassed about what was said in the note...which only made Sena more curious. He grabbed the hem of Monta's shirt and jacket and pulled them up to get the note, but while Monta's shirt was lifted they both froze when they heard an ominous click.

"Did you...hear something?" Monta squeaked, clinging tightly to his note.

Sena looked around with large terrified eyes. He didn't see anything...and also...since when could clicks sound ominous? "Ah...maybe we should head inside," he squeaked.

The two hurried inside without another word, of course neither had any idea what that immense evil could be from. It was either Hiruma or Suzuna...she'd been doing so horrible lately they could hardly tell...not that either would say that to her, she would be far too happy. They could both imagine the gleeful giggle and proud grin.

"So...um...what were you talking about before? Who's got a crush on you?" Monta asked when they were far from the entrance.

Sena blushed brightly and frantically shook his head. "No! No one! I was just speaking about what if!" he lied. Well that rather embarassed response was rather obvious, even to an idiot like Monta.

Being the great friend he was, Monta didn't prod and simply changed the subject. "So what're you doing after school?"

"Nothing!" Sena squeaked.

Again Monta gave him a suspicious and curious look. Was his best friend going on a date before he was? And who was he going with? Who could be so bad that Sena was bright red just thinking about it? Did someone blackmail him into it? Blackmail always screamed Hiruma...but this didn't seem like something he would usually do, usually Sena would talk about his punishment. He even talked about the cheerleading. Somehow Monta would find out.

---------------------

School ended and Hiruma collected Sena at the school gates, putting a hand on his shoulder and guiding him to the theater. Little did either of them know that behind them were two rather sneaky folks. Monta and Suzuna had decided to team up to follow.

"What are you doing?" Jyuumonji asked when he saw Monta and Suzuna ducked behind a tree. Suzuna grabbed Jyuumonji and pulled him into hiding with them.

"Shhhh! Apparently it's their first date!" Suzuna squealed in the happiest tone imaginable.

Monta made a bit of a 'GUH!' sound, withdrawing from Suzuna. "Nuh uh! I don't know what's happeningn and neither do you!" he said, quite against his best friend and their evil team leader. He just didn't want to think of how terrified poor Sena must've been.

"Oh come on! They look cute together! And besides, with Hiruma at Sena's side Sena wont have to worry about any other bullies," Suzuna said happily. Clearly she approved of them...even if both Monta and Jyuumonji looked like they wanted to say something...but both were a little too unnerved at the thought. "...Hiruma would kill you both if you said anything mean to Sena."

"Good point. Good luck to them," Jyuumonji said quickly. He kind of liked his backside without all the bullet holes. Monta just silently nodded.

When Jyuumonji was ready to walk off Suzuna grabbed his arm with an evil grin. "...what?" he asked slowly, not terribly fond of that Hiruma-like look on her.

"If they should see us it would look better if the three of us were in a group! C'mon!" she chimed, grabbing Monta with her free hand and pulling the two along after Sena and Hiruma. Every time Sena awkwardly looked around they all ducked behind whatever was nearest. Mailbox, telephone pole, crowds of people...each time they were never seen though so they'd done fairly well.

"Can't I go home yet?" hissed Jyuumonji as they three ducked into an alley.

"No!" Suzuna snapped. She scowled at him. "It would look weird if just me 'nd Monta went walking around. 'sides, I doubt Monta has any money to pay for my ticket and treats!" she said happily as Sena and Hiruma went into a theater.

Jyuumonji paused a moment and gaped. "What?! Who said I'd be paying for you?" he demanded.

There was a moment of silence when Suzuna grinned wide at him. "Do you remember those photos Hiruma took so long ago?" she asked, holding up a picture.

He gasped in horror and snatched it before Monta could see. "FINE!"

"Good, let's go!" she giggled, linking her arms in theirs before she ran off into the theater.

Just looking at the amount of treats Hiruma got for Sena made Suzuna envious...and of course to fix that she made Monta and Jyuumonji buy a little mountain for her before they entered the theater. She was far more interested in watching the couple a few rows ahead of them rather than the movie though. Her little antenna bobbed with glee when Hiruma slipped an arm around Sena and pulled him close. She gave a quiet titter and sipped her pop. Soooo cute!

"When Hiruma sees us we're so dead!" Jyuumonji hissed at Suzuna.

"Nuh uh, we're just three friends watching a movie, nothing weird about that," she said, grinning from ear to ear.

Both Monta and Jyuumonji sighed and sank in their seats. Monta couldn't help but cry a little for poor Sena. From the looks of how things were going a few rows ahead they seemed rather...cuddly. He didn't know if Sena was okay with it or not...but he didn't seem to be fighting it.

"I wonder how long they've been going out for," Suzuna said thoughtfully. "I wonder if they've done it yet," she paused and glanced at Jyuumonji and Monta. Both responded silently with rather horrified looks. It seemed as thought neither wanted to think about what the two did in their time away from the rest of the team. Suzuna was interested...but the males were a little afraid. Possibly because they were terrified at the thought of Hiruma in a relationship with anyone. The good side with him being with Sena though was that he wouldn't reproduce...but poor Sena had to pay to protect the gene pool.

When the movie ended the three ducked down as Sena and Hiruma passed them, Hiruma walking with an arm resting around Sena's waist. They snuck out of the theater and followed them home, watching Hiruma say goodbye to Sena and stealing a quick kiss before he left, leaving Sena looking suprised a moment before he ran inside.

Suzuna had to clap her hands over her mouth to keep herself from squealing at the cute sight. "Heehee! When they have another date I'll let you guys know!" she chimed, hurrying off on her roller blades.

Jyuumonji and Monta looked awkwardly at one another before parting ways rather quickly. They didn't want anyone thinking anything funny about them, especially after following around Sena and Hiruma.

Monta did have to wonder though...was his shy best buddy really that close with Hiruma? Did he like spending time with him? How often did they spend time together? Was it their first date or had they been on more? Though of course the most important question on his mind was whether or not Sena was blackmailed into going out with him. Sena had seemed rather jumpy walking to school...then again he was that sheepish every day...damn it being so hard to tell when he was more jumpy than usual!

Being the concerned best friend that he was, he actually planned to keep an eye on them. With Suzuna teaming up with him it wouldn't be hard. Knowing her she would just throw herself at the chance to meddle in someone's relationship. She seemed more interested in watching other relationships than getting a boyfriend of her own. Maybe she was afraid how quickly anyone would be scared off by Taki.

It was while Monta was walking home that he realized it. He had to go through his backpack to find something, but he found something he hadn't been looking for. His face brightened at the sight of the note, another letter from his secret admirer. He grinned to himself and walked home with an extra little skip in his step.

Monta didn't know who sent those letters...but they always sounded so nice! He liked to flatter himself by imagining some sweet, cute little girl was writing those letters for him. Oh how little he knew.
