"Knock, knock!" Nao called standing outside of Ryusuke's house.

"Who's there?" Chiba's voice called back.

Nao laughed. "Yule."

"Yule who?"

"Yule never know unless you open the door." She said grinning as Chiba burst out laughing.

"Is there anything you don't think is funny?" Ryusuke asked as Nao came in.

"Yeah, you." He said with a straight face but eventually started laughing again.

Nao shook her head and sat down to take off her shoes. "Well it's official, I'm exhausted."

"Why's that?" Ryusuke asked glancing at her from the TV.

"I've just had to take care of Haru a lot, she's 6 months along so the doctors say she can't do much and that's where I come in." She explained as she finished taking of her shoes and lay back on Ryusuke's bed.

"That sucks." Chiba said frowning.

"Believe me, I know but the good news is that she's getting closer to having a cute little bundle of joy." She said chuckling.

"Well, if you need any help you can call, I don't really have much to do." Ryusuke offered with a shrug.

"Aw thanks." Nao smiled up at him and then yawned.

"I would but I think I scare her." Chiba said with a grimace.

She laughed. "Don't worry, I've been telling her about how awesome you are so now she's just a bit freaked out rather than scared." He grinned and put his thumbs up. Nao did the same and they both laughed. "Oh, I meant to ask you, have you guys decided about Saku and Koyuki yet?"

"Not really, Taira says they have to prove that they're good enough." Ryusuke replied making a face.

"Yeah, I don't see what the big deal is, we need a drummer anyway." Chiba added.

"I guess Taira just wants everything to be on par with you three."

"AWWWW!" Chiba said with a huge smile. Nao laughed and looked up at the TV. They sat there watching and made a bit of small talk for a while and then Chiba stretched and stood up.

"Alright well I have to go, I got a date." He announced beaming as he looked down at Nao and Ryusuke.

"Ooo la la, really?" Nao asked smiling. "What's her name?"

"Sanako." He answered dreamily.

"How long have you been seeing this Sanako of yours?" She asked curiously.

"Like a month… she's fuckin' awesome." He grinned and then started putting on his shoes.

"I want a full report next time I see you." Nao said pointing at him.

Chiba stood up straight and saluted her. "Yes ma'am!"

Nao laughed. "Awesome, hope you have fun!"

"I'm sure I will." He said mischievously and started for the door.

"Later." Nao and Ryusuke said in unison making Chiba laugh.

"Bye guys." He waved and shut the door behind him. Nao and Ryusuke sat watching TV for another half hour or so until there was nothing else good on to watch.

"So, what do you want to do?" She asked looking over at him.

"Uh, well, Beck needs a walk." He suggested gesturing at the front of the house.

"Okay, sure." She agreed and so they both got up, put on their shoes and headed out the door. Beck strained against his leash as he saw them and barked excitedly.

"Calm down, jeez." Ryusuke said as Beck bounced around. Ryusuke finally managed to untie him and he immediately jumped up on Nao and nuzzled her. "Down!" Ryusuke commanded as Beck practically knocked her over.

Nao laughed. "It's fine, Beck's just a happy doggie, aren't you?" She asked Beck as she knelt down and let him lick her face.

Ryusuke chuckled. "Alright, break it up you two." He said jokingly.

Nao stood up with a smile and started to walk to the sidewalk. Beck happily trotted along next to her and licked her hand. "Awww, he's so cute."

"Yeah, in his own way." Ryusuke agreed with a smile.

"No, in every way." She corrected him with a nod.

He chuckled again and turned left on to the sidewalk. They walked for a while and then decided to turn back. As they were walking Beck stopped and decided to bark at a wall.

"Beck, c'mon, what do you think it's gonna do?" He asked looking down at him.

Nao smiled. "I love you how talk to him like he's a person."

"Yeah, well he's my buddy." He replied finally getting Beck away from the wall he was trying to intimidate. "Ain't that right?"

Beck barked and wagged his tail as response making Ryusuke smile.

"Awww." Nao reached down and pet Beck on his head. He licked her hand and continued walking.

"Remember the BECK show that you guys did when I finally got released from my grounding?" Nao asked after they walked about a block.

"Yeah, what about it?" Ryusuke asked.

"Well, I was just thinking about something Maho said… she said that you liked me or whatever. I dunno… I guess I'm just curious now." Nao answered with a shrug.

"Yeah, I guess I do." He said casually making it seem that he only liked her as a friend.

"Cool." She said with a nod a bit disappointed but she hid it well. When they got back Nao made them both some Ramen and they ate. Then Nao left and started back home. She let out a sigh as she walked thinking of how she sucked at attracting the opposite sex, she didn't even really know how to attract anyone. The only reason Uta ever dated her was because he wanted to piss off Yuka. She sighed again as she stopped at a light. 'Man… maybe breaking up with Uta was a bad idea.'

Nao glared at the television screen as she attempted to shoot out one of the virtual windows. She finally managed to and in a few minutes she'd beaten the level.

"Phew, finally." She said quietly. She continued playing for a few minutes until Ryusuke spoke up.

"So, do you want to go out sometime?"

"Uh, okay." She said very surprised as she looked back at him. "When do you want to go out?"

"Today or tomorrow, whenever you're free." He replied glancing up at her from his book.

"My mom's at Haru's and my dad's away on business sooo… how about today?" She asked trying to figure out if he was really into her or not.

"Okay, sure. Where would you like to go?"

"Uh… where ever they have Okonomiyaki." She said smiling.

He chuckled. "Alright, I know a good place like 5 blocks away, we should probably leave in like a half hour."

"Totally." She agreed with a nod.

The date started well with great conversations, food, and a few shots. By the end of it there were about 20 shot glasses on the table and both of them were laughing at stupid things and slurring their words. They paid for the food and slowly made their way back to Ryusuke's.

"I feel like I haven't been here in forever!" Nao said with a grin as she walked into Ryusuke's house, swaying slightly.

"Awesome." Ryusuke said with a chuckle.

Nao bent down to take off her shoes and almost fell over but Ryusuke caught her. "Maybe you should sit down."

"Good idea." Nao said with a smile. She plopped on to Ryusuke's bed and took off her shoes. Ryusuke sat next to her and did the same.

"Today, tonight was really nice." Nao said with a smile as she lay her head on his shoulder. He nodded and kissed her forehead. She grinned up at him and gave him a quick peck on the lips. He smiled and kissed her back. She climbed onto his lap and bit her lower lip with a smile as she ran her fingers through his hair. He held her close to him and kissed her neck. He then slowly reached up her shirt and undid her bra strap. She pulled up on his shirt and took it off of him. Then she took her bra off, leaving her shirt on. She put her bra on Ryusuke's head and laughed. He shook his head with a smile and it fell off. He then slowly took off her shirt and held her close to him as he kissed and sucked on her breasts.

"Mmm." She released a sound of pleasure as she put her head back slightly. He then unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans. She did the same to him and then pulled off her own pants as well as his. Ryusuke then began to rub her womanhood through her underwear. She let out a moan as she kissed his neck. She then let her hand wander to his boxers. He let her take them off and then took off her panties. He lay her out on his futon and grazed her clit with his tongue. She shuddered and gently grasped the sheets on his bed. She moaned as his tongue flicked back and forth across womanhood. He continued sucking and licking her most sensitive area until she found her release. As she was catching her breath he grabbed a condom and then put it on. He opened her legs wider and guided himself into her. She let out another moan as he began to go a bit faster. He watched as her breasts gently bounced with each thrust. She pulled him against her as he went faster and harder into her. He listened to her breath becoming uneven as they both became closer to climax. There moans became more frequent as the minutes went on. He then pushed himself back up slightly to gain more speed. Nao grabbed onto his arms and looked into his eyes, seeing pleasure. Her nails dug into his arm and she leaned forward slightly as she climaxed. She lay back gasping as he continued pounding her. He soon came and lay next to her. He caught his breath for a few moments and then threw out the condom.

Nao looked over at him and smiled as she caught his gaze. "Wow."

He chuckled. "You surprised?"

"Not exactly." She said, still trying to catch her breath. "You went beyond my expectations though."

"I've had a lotta practice." He said with a smile and half open eyes.

Nao laughed and lay with her top half slightly on his chest. He put his arm around her and gave her a kiss. She smiled as it broke and snuggled into him.

Nao's eyes opened as she felt her head throbbing a bit. She sat up looking around and remembered what had happened the night before. 'Holy shit… I actually slept with Ryusuke!' She thought to herself containing a squeal of excitement and then rubbed her head. "Ow." She whispered to herself. She sat there for a while watching Ryusuke sleep and started to feel a bit embarrassed. She then decided to go so she got her clothes back on and left.
