" Anna, c-could you dance with me? "

Takeshi finally asked Anna for a relaxing dance. Anna looked up, bewildered. Then after a while, she said, " OK. "

They stood up and danced to the romantic ballad. After about 10 minutes, Takeshi asked Anna, " So, feelin' a bit better? "

" How did you get the idea that I'm not feeling well? I am well, of course. " Anna snapped.

Takeshi smirked. " My instincts. "

After sometime, " Takeshi, why did you ask me to dance? " Anna asked.

It was a rather strange question. " Er----we're dates so we must dance right? "

" Except that. You couldn't have asked me to dance even if we're not in a prom. "

Takeshi smiled laughingly. " I had some sense knocked into me. " he pointed at his bruise on his head. Anna was surprised. ( she does get surprise very often, doesn't she? Anyone gets surprises with a saiyan like that! Read on! ) " And I've got a bump to prove it. Sometimes you can overcome fear. "

" Er----did you bring any sodas to the prom? I'm kind of thirsty. " Anna asked.

Takeshi chuckled. " Of course not! Open your eyes Anna! We are in a prom. There are food. Drinks. Everything everyone needs. I'll get you some grape juice. " he offered kindly.

" Sure. Thanks. " she said.

Takeshi broke their dance and headed towards the food buffet and started ladling some juice.

When Takeshi returned, a guy bumped into Anna. Anna tripped and stood up. She rubbed her back and said, " Sorry… " The boy grabbed Anna's slender hand hastily and smirked mischievously. " No, I'm sorry, babe! ( I hate to use that b word but idiots like this guy usually say these things ) You're quite a girl there, I think I've hit a jackpot, a so beautiful prom date! "

Anna was shocked and surprised. " excuse me ", she uttered. He grabbed Anna and started to dance with her dirtily. Takeshi blurted out, " Wait, you've got my date. " he said shocked as well, carrying grape juice, with it dripping on his shiny black shoes.

The boy snarled at him. " What makes you think I've got your date? Now buzz off Himura, you're cuttin' in! " he laughed menacingly and crazily.

Takeshi's fury reached it's limit. His burning saiyan aura covered him.

He walked silently to the crazy boy and muttered a calm but furious, " excuse me " . Takeshi then knocked the boy backwards and made him sit on the parquet floor.

The guy stood up fast and sneered at Takeshi, " You are so pathetic, Himura. First come, first served! "

He chuckled and started to grab Anna. But Takeshi clenched his hands angrily and said, " We'll see who's pathetic. "

When the boy caught Anna, BOOM, Takeshi's saiyan aura finally blew.

Everything was so fast, Anna only saw a little of Takeshi's anger. Takeshi grabbed the boy and the only thing she saw was when Takeshi smashed his fist into the boy's face. Takeshi's burning glare of an aura burned the boy and the idiot staggered backwards.

The boy held his bloody nose shakily. He showed a frightened face. " Hey man, are you crazy? What's your problem? "

Takeshi frowned with hatred at him and growled furiously. " I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY IN PROTECTING HER SO DON'T EVER TOUCH ANNA AGAIN! "

Scared, the boy left the prom hall. Anna was perplexed.

ANNA'S POV
What, what just happened around here? First thing, he asks me to go out with him and next thing he slams a fist on that boy and yells, " I have a responsibility to protect her so don't touch anna again " ?

How dumb and…surprising can you get?

Maybe I was wrong about him…maybe he was good-natured after all. He did make an impression on me. I'm impressed.

He's great…I can't believe I'm saying this…but then….

TAKESHI'S POV

Stupid boy. He's so perverted, I'd be glad to send him to H.F.I.L. ( dbz fans absolutely know this )

Grrrr….i was worried sick about anna.

If I hadn't showed up then…..never mind. It's just good she's safe now.

Whew, I think I overreacted there a bit. I said something that she shouldn't have heard!

Why couldn't I keep my big mouth shut!

But then…you can't stop love and anger.

Takeshi handed Anna a glass. " Here. Your grape juice. " he said, his anger fading. " You OK? "

" Y-yeah. " she answered jerkily. " Thanks. "

" It's OK. " replied Takeshi.

The other dates stared at the once fighting guys. A long haired blonde girl whispered to his date, " Who was that guy? " The also short blonde boy replied. " Takeshi Himura. "

When they danced again, Anna and Takeshi's feelings changed against each other. Anna decided to be a bit gentle on Takeshi and as they danced, she rested her blondish head on Takeshi's chest.

Takeshi blushed uncontrollably, but he was delighted.

As they danced, Ranma appeared before him. He was smiling broadly at him, satisfied at Takeshi's good luck. Funny though, Ranma didn't stay long watching them. Akane appeared beside him and gave him a good hit with her dressing table and pulling Ranma's ear backwards and away. She was strangely

muttering irritably at him, " Ranma, you perverted jerk! Leave those two in their romantic scene alone! "

Akane's forehead was twitching furiously.

It was kind of funny.

With his friends supporting him, his strength powering his confidence, with Anna with him, Takeshi felt he was the luckiest guy in the universe.

Hey, was that good? I hope so. But it doesn't stop there. Another fight soon. You'll see. Just wait.

You'll know. Not sure, but I'll try, ppl.

Just review this one. But as I said in my earlier chapters, I have extreme writer's block and still thinkin' up some rad ideas to make you guys happy. See ya!
