Chapter 6 is here! Whee! Thanks so much for the nice reviews, y'all! This chapter's just sort of a bridge chapter…leading to the…*climactic* part. *evil grin* And it also has a very odd title. Yup…not very eloquent, but what the hell…
Don't own anybody. Fic for entertainment purposes only, nothing more.

Chapter Six: Pre-Date Jitters Brought Upon by a Bar of Snickers
"So, where are you off to today, Kenken?" Yohji asked cheerfully the next day. He just came out of the shower, wearing boxers and a white t-shirt, his hair wet and slightly tangled.
Ken sighed. He really is good-looking All this time I never paid attention. "Me? Uh…" Let's see…I gotta go buy some fancy clothes, get a pedicure, get my hair and nails done, put on some makeup…all for our date tonight. "Nothing much. What about you?"
"Nothing much, either. But I got a date with Ani tonight," Yohji mentioned enthusiastically, sitting on a stool by the counter. "Hey, if you're free tonight, I would really want you to have dinner with us."
"Uh, really? Gee, thanks, Yotan, but I do have plans for tonight," Ken lied, complete with a fake smile. "I really wish that I could go, though. What is this Ani girl like, anyway?"
Yohji looked at Ken with a dreamy sort of look. "God, Ken, she is amazing—totally different from girls I've dated. I'm not kidding," he replied. "She's shy, but bold, and she has this tendency to become jealous over little things that I find so…sexy."
"Oh, really?" Ken gave him a little smile. "How about her looks? I didn't really get a very good look at her that morning, she was in such a hurry."
"Goddamn, she is hot as hell. Long, dark hair, great body, and a sweet smile," Yohji went on, grinning widely.
Ken smile grew even bigger. "Wow. She sure is a catch, huh?" he commented, biting his lip to conceal his overwhelming giddiness.
"Hell yeah," Yohji remarked before getting up. "I guess I'll go down to the flowershop and see how everything's goin'. I'll see ya later, Kenken."
"Later," Ken said, his gaze following Yohji as he disappeared into the living room. Oh, yes, I will see you later, he thought with a grin.
*~*~*
I can't believe I'm doing this again, Ken groaned as he put on a pair of tawny snakeskin pants. He struggled to get the tight pants on, cursing the whole time. They looked very comfortable on the dancing girl in the store. Damn.
With great effort, he finally got them on. Standing in front of his full length mirror, Ken couldn't help but smirk. Wait til Yotan sees me tonight.
He glanced at his reflection and did a little strut across his room. His hair was already in place, his make-up, too, which he got on with a little help from Janice, one of his soccer player's sister. At first she thought that it was strange that he was doing this, but after he explained the whole thing, she was more than happy to help. She actually did him a double favor—she also acted as the "girlfriend" that he supposedly went out with that fateful night. It's like killing two birds with one girl, Ken thought with mild amusement.
Now, all he had to put on was his shiny, cinnamon tube top, which will be tricky. First, as Janice suggested, he had to put on a strapless water-filled bra. He had put on the normal bras before, but this was a tube top. Yohji will surely notice it that he's as flat as a board. Why did I pick such a risqué outfit anyway?
Oh…Ken thought as he saw himself in the mirror. I look damn good. He had managed to put on the top and showed off his tan shoulders. Add the caramel boots, chocolate purse, and chestnut cowboy hat and he looked good enough to eat.
And I'm pretty sure that Mr. Kuduo will want a taste. Ken smiled and bit his lip to suppress his extreme excitement. Now, Ken, don't get so vain and conceited…you are getting carried away, Ken's virtuous inner voice reminded him. Well, you have every reason to be proud. Hidaka, you are "hot as hell," boy! If you've got it, it's practically a crime not to flaunt it, his blunt, outspoken side counterattacked.
Ken shook his head vigorously. Shouldn't have had that seventh bar of Snickers. Talk about a sugar high.

Come to think of it, I think *I* was the one who was on a sugar high when I wrote this. Man, did that even make sense? Oh, well…I guess you guys will just have to stay tuned and see if our hero [heroine?] Ken will finally get his [her?] Prince Charming…nope, no such thing…well, I guess Kudou will have to do…*kidding*
