Miyagi : Okay, that will be most of everything for today's lesson… *rushes to Rukawa, who is wiping his face, cleaning the sweats off*

Rukawa : What is it, Sempai?

Miyagi : *shooks his head* No… I just think that you play really well. I'll put you into the starting five team. And oh, by the way, what number do you want on your uniform?

Rukawa : well… *rolls his eyes* 11…

Miyagi : *sigh* Sorry, Kawaii-kun, but Rukawa just got that number… It was his since last year…

Rukawa : (in his head) Yeah, that is my jersey number… *looks up* How about 7?

Miyagi : *thinks for a while* Sure… I can gave you that number… Okay, It'll be done in 3 days or so…

Rukawa : Arigato… *bows his head*

Miyagi : Oh yeah… *walks over to him and pats him on the head, since he's bowing down* Kawaii, you'll be a great help… *started to run but he pause for a while and looked at him* You'll be big…

Rukawa : *he watch his captain run off and shrugs* This' not gonna last forever…

Sendoh : Oh well, Kawaii *smiles*, you'll never knew when this is gonna end… so just do your best…

Rukawa : *shrugs again and walks home*

Rukawa and Sendoh is walking home together, since their houses are in one way. Both of them talked for a while to help kill time. Sendoh's house, which is now Rukawa's, is in sight, but they noted somebody standing outside the fence. It's a girl.

Sendoh : Kazumi-san? (voice low and can barely get heard)

Rukawa : What is she doing?

Kazumi spotted the two lads walking his way. She waved her hands and trotted to closen the distance between them. She smiled and then studied the two. Blushing, she giggled softly and then looked at Rukawa.

Kazumi : Akira-san… Is he your friend?

Rukawa : Uh… *looks at Sendoh*

Sendoh : *shrugs and gave him a little tug on the ribs* Go answer her (whispering)

Rukawa : Yes…

Kazumi : Uuh… *looks at Sendoh* (thinking) He's handsome, as handsome as Akira-san… *grabs Rukawa's hands* Um, Akira-san… I think we need a little private conversation, *turns to Sendoh* will you excuse us for a minute or so?

Sendoh : *sigh* Sure… Besides, I'll be on my way home… Bye there, Ka—um… Akira! *sweatdrop*

Rukawa : Bye…

Kazumi : *waits for Sendoh to disappear from their sight* Would you like to know and meet Chizu's boy? She's gonna come over to his club tonight… I can give you a table, I knew a waiter there…

Rukawa : *startled* Is that why you came all the way here?

Kazumi : Well yeah… You sound interested in her, and you're her brother… It's time for you to know, anyway… So, would you come?

Rukawa : *looks confused* Umm… Where is it? Where's the club…?

Kazumi : It's that newly-opened PQ Bar… You know that, don't you?

Rukawa : *starts to think* Yea… I guess… *sweat* I hope…

Kazumi : *smiles* Okay! I'll meet you there, today, at 10 pm! There'll be a guy with a scar on his upper cheek, you just whisper him the word : Santa Monica, and he'll escort you to a table, which'll be near Hiroshi-kun's table…

Rukawa : Can I grab a friend?

Kazumi : No prob! *pauses* Who will it be? Is it that cute guy just there?

Rukawa : *sweatdrops* Uh… Guess so…

Kazumi : *jumps in excitement* No prob!!!! So, I'll be waiting for you down there, PQ Bar, 10 pm straight. Got it?

Rukawa : …okay.

She ran away from his view. Rukawa walked into his house. Inside, Machi and Nanao were busy setting up a jigsaw puzzle, with a picture of Eeyore. Nanao sat up and spread her arms wide. Rukawa had no other choice, he was lured. So then he knelt and gave her a little hug.

Rukawa : Uh, Nanao-chan, Machi-chan… I guess I won't be quite around tonight… I'm going to go soon.

Machi : To where, Oni-chan?

Rukawa : Uh… My friend's birthday party…

Nanao : *frowns* Okay… Just for this night, I'll let Oni-chan go…

Rukawa : *pats both Nanao and Machi's head and messed a bit with their hair* Arigato… Now I'll be leaving soon… *rushes to the phone and dial his OWN house's number*

Sendoh : *panting for breath* Mo… Moshi-moshi!!

Rukawa : (whispering) Akira?! I'm gonna go there now…

Sendoh : (tone rised in confusion) Huh? What? Why?

Rukawa : Listen! I'll explain everything there… Okay?

Sendoh : *takes a deep breath* Alright, alright if you insist…

Rukawa : I'll be on my way now… *hangs up* Bye, Nanao, Machi… Just don't stay up for too late…

Nanao : Bye… *waves her tiny hand*

He left the house, running. Questions ran through his mind while he made his way to his destination. Was it true that Chizu's actually making money from her boyfriend? What did she do? Did she sell anything of her body such as her virginity? Rukawa shook his head and tell his mind not to think of nasty and bad thoughts aboud her. Besides, what's the good thing about being a prejudice? Things weren't proven yet, he can't speak of her like that.

Finally his old house was near. Rukawa stopped running and pressed the doorbell button. Soon after that Sendoh came out running to open the gates for him.

Sendoh : What is it, Kaede-kun? And… you ran all the way to here. It must be something that's very important that you want to say.

Rukawa : Walks inside the yard of his house and emerged to the living room and sit on the couch.

He tell him everything that he had heard about Chizu, which his his sister. Sendoh looked quite surprised, he can tell since his eyes immediately turned wide open. Rukawa shrugged and tell him the plans that Kazumi had arranged for him. He then asked him to accompany him for some reasons. One is that because it will be Rukawa's first time to ever enter a night club, and second is that Chizu is his imouto anyway, so he must know something secret about her. Sendoh agreed to come along, but then something disturbed their mind.

Sendoh : It's a night club, alright… And what on earth are we gonna wear? Sure not those nike shirts or any of those clothes I wear almost everyday. You got anything in your closet that suits us, Kaede?

Rukawa remembered one day he took the wrong shopping bag down at the mall. And what was inside the bag was some silk shirts that lacks of buttons. The shirt helps the user to expose his chest. Suppose those kinds of things fit with clubbing styles.

Rukawa : I think I got something,…

And then the two walked into the bedroom. Rukawa took out a yellow silk shirt, and another one, but colored purple.

Rukawa : (thinking) this purple thing looks gay… I'll just let Sendoh wear them…

Sendoh : Whoa, Kaede-kun! I never thought you ever think to buy any of this clothings. *grabs the shirt in his hand and looked at it carefully*

Rukawa : *stares at Sendoh with icy eyes* I got it by a stupid mistake, I took the wrong bag once while I was at the mall.

Sendoh : Hey I guess I'll wear the yellow ones. I just happen to love yellow…

Rukawa : *snaps the shirt out of his hands* Hell no, you're wearing the purple ones!

Sendoh : Yare yare… Okay, it's yours anyway…

And then they got changed. Rukawa's face turned in disgust when he looks at himself at the mirror.

Rukawa : Oh my god, I look so gay… This shirt is just too tight in your body, Sendoh…

Sendoh : *smiles* Well it looked just fine on yours, Kaede-kun… Damn, I look sexy! *strikes a macho pose*

Rukawa : Quit it… *opens up his closet door and pulls out a dark grey shirt* I'm gonna have to wear this… *turns at Sendoh, who's still trying to make some cool pose at the mirror* Want one?

Sendoh : Hell no, thanks. I'M just so great with this purple shirt…

Rukawa : (muttering) Hell yeah, people will think RUKAWA KAEDE is gay…

Sendoh : We better get going, Kaede-kun…

Rukawa : Wait, got money?

Sendoh : *rubs his hand down his empty pockets of his trousers* I don't think so… *smiles wide like a goat*

Rukawa : *walks over to a steel case with number combination lock, takes out a few out of it and placed it in his pocket* I think that'll be enough…

Sendoh : How many did you take?

Rukawa : *shrugs* Just a little…

Sendoh : Well, how many???

Rukawa : Um… 50 thou yen…

Sendoh could do nothing but stare with his round eyes at him. And next thing is that they're walking downtown to the PQ Bar.

a.n : what's in the club? Who knows… Carry onto the next chap, plz, minna- san!
