It's now Winter. On the Weekend Tezuka and his friends are dining at Taka-San's Sushi restaurant. While everyone laugh and talk. Tezuka sat there thinking. He plays with his food with his chopsticks then sigh.

"Something wrong?" Oishi asked

"I'm confused."

They stare at him. "Confused About what?" Inui questioned.

"Women."

His friends nod while saying oh…

"Yeah, women are complicated. I dated a few and it didn't go right." Momo laughed.

"What you need to know about women is that nothing they say makes any sense. If they say nothing is wrong, it is. If they say they want to be alone. They don't. Read the signs. Women. Are. Complicated." Kikumaru explained.

"I just need to figure out why am I in love?" Tezuka wondered.

"Oh…"

"You have that problem." Kaidoh said.

"Why you're in love? Easy, because you said so." Kikumaru answered.

"Me? This was not what I wanted. I didn't decide to be in love. It was chosen for me and I don't like it."

"Then get out of love." Fuji said.

"I tried to but I can't."

"Because you're in love. That's the way it goes." Momo said.

"I didn't ask for this. I always thought about education, family, friends and Tennis. But now Inari is the only one I can think about. It's weird. I never felt this way before and I don't like it."

"What you are feeling is call love Tezuka." Oishi said.

"I don't understand love. So why Inari? Why I couldn't I fall in love when I get old? I been living my life without having any romantic feelings for anyone. Then ever since Inari came last year. My feelings changed."

"That's the way love is." Kawamura said.

"I don't want to fall in love with someone that I'm not going to spend my life with."

"How do you know that? Inari might become your wife. Even though it's a 65% chance." Inui calculated.

"I need to test this feeling called love." Tezuka started thinking.

"Test? I'll help you." Inui grinned.

"No Inui. You can't perform experiments on Tezuka." Kikumaru said. Inui frown as they laugh.

"But what kind of test are you talking about Tezuka?" Kawamura asked.

"I need to know am I in love with Inari? Or do I just have a crush on her."

They nod. "How can you find out?" Fuji asked.

A female that goes to their College walks over to the Seigaku team. Her friends push her forward.

"Um.. Hi.." She waves at them as everyone said Hello.

"She's cute." Kikumaru said. "I saw her first." Momo told him. "You can't be serious?!"

She walks over to Tezuka looking nervous.

"Too bad. She wants the Captain." Fuji told them. Momo and Kikumaru sighed feelings disappointment.

"Umm.. Hi. My name is Nenai and... I heard rumors that you like another student, but you haven't been talking to her lately. So... I guess it was a rumor. I'm sorry but I had to build up a lot of courage to ask you this. Willyougooutwithme?!" She asked talking fast."

The guys stare at Tezuka. They knows he's going to turn her down.

"Okay." He answered.

Her eyes widen. "What...?!" His friends shouted. Kikumaru fell out his seat. This is shocking.

"Really?"

Tezuka nods. "Awesome! Meet me at this place called Zoneet at 7. See you later." Nanai ran back to her friends while giggling and laughing.

"Tezuka, why did you agree to go out with her?" Momo asked.

"You idiot weren't you listening? Tezuka needs to know if he loves Inari or not." Kaidoh explained.

"Right, so if I fall for her tonight. Then I'm not in love with Inari. It's just a ridiculous crush."

A week later while Inari is at work she is on the phone talking to Joshie.

"Hey. Winter vacation is coming up again. What are you doing?"

"Josh, I have no idea. What do you have in mind?"

"No clue. Maybe the guys got something planned. I might tagalong with them."

She nod. "I might leave Japan again and head to London for the Holidays."

"Okay, I'll will miss you. And Tezuka."

Joshie laugh as Inari roll her eyes.

"Speaking of him. You heard he went on a date right? The guys don't want to tell me how it went. I guess because they think I will tell you."

The girls laugh.

"That's crazy but it's good that he's dating. He needs to go out more. Kunimitsu is still young so Tennis shouldn't take over his life."

A week later the Winter Vacation started. The Seigaku team and Joshie aboard the plane, heading the Germany.

"This is going to be incredible!" Kikumaru shouted.

"Yes! I can't speak the language but were going to have so much fun!" Momo laughed.

"Just makes sure you two don't go overboard this time." Oishi said.

"Yes, the first time we came here. We left Momo." Kawamura added.

"Inari isn't here with us this year."

"I know...I going to be bored but there's nothing we can do. She decided to go to London with her family for vacation." Joshie said. They nod.

"That reminds me. You went on a date with Nanai, Tezuka. What happen that night?" Kikumaru asked.

"I forgot all about that. Start talking glasses." Joshie told him.

"Did you figure out something Tezuka?"

"Figure out? I thought he went out with her to make Inari jealous?" Joshie asked.

"No." Tezuka replied.

"He wanted to know did he love Inari or not."

"Oh…" Joshie nods.

"Tell us what happen on the date."

He sigh. "Why should I? Nothing happened."

"Just tell us!"

Tezuka sigh again. "Fine."

Two weeks ago Tezuka and Nanai sat at the table waiting for their plates.

"I'm glad I'm here with you. I never thought that I would go on a date with you Tezuka. I'm so excited. You're incredible at Tennis."

He sigh. "Thanks."

Tezuka sat there, not paying attention. He see Nanai lips moving but he didn't hear any words coming out. While she sat there talking Tezuka thought about Inari then sigh.

(What am I doing here? I don't know why I agree to do this. When I went out with Inari before it was never this boring. I don't feel any emotions towards this woman but when I'm with Inari. I can't control myself. I can't believe it. I'm here with another woman and I'm thinking about Inari. I miss her. I should try to make things right. If she'll talk to me.)

"Hey... Hello." Nanai taps him. Tezuka looks up at her.

"Yes?"

"Are you listening?"

He nods. "Um, Yes."

She smile. "Good. I like that you're a good listener. Because I have a lot to say." She smile and he sigh.

"Talk away." Tezuka looks away then sigh again.

(I guess I am in love with Inari.)

His friends nods when Tezuka was finished talking.

"Wow... That's it?" Kikumaru asked. Tezuka nods. "No kiss? No hug? No sweet talking?" Momo questioned.

"No. And I don't sweet talk women. I'm not Oshitari. After dinner I took her home. Nothing else happened. I thought it was just a crush but it isn't. I'm in love with Inari."

"We already knew that." Fuji said.

"See, Cupid picked the right woman for you Tezuka." Inui said.

"Cupid sucks. When I was looking for a boyfriend where the hell was he when I needed him?" Joshie asked.

"Maybe you were looking in the wrong direction." Momo winks at her.

"Ha! Never Momo. Never." They laugh.
