Ryou trudged behind Kiju, hoping that the floor would open up and swallow him before they reached the underwear department. Of course, the chances of Kiju letting that happen were very slim. She almost seemed to enjoy doing this to him.

Kiju skipped along, happy as she could be, while still keeping an eye on Ryou. He couldn't escape. No way. She had way to many plans for him. In fact, she was already planning for his wedding. He would make such a pretty bride.

She turned to look at him, a smile gracing her face. "Don't smile, Ryou. Your face might crack."

Ryou sighed as they neared the dreaded location. He wondered if there was any possible way he could convince her to forget this. But no, Fate seemed very determined. He silently cursed whoever it was that messed up Yugi's gender.

His face grew, if possible, even redder as the two reached the woman's undergarment department. This simply could not get any worse.

Kiju gave Ryou a side-glance. "Oh, it could get much worse.'

On Kiju's shoulder, Matt was looking around at all the underwear, practically drooling. He knew there was a good reason he hung around with Kiju. Excited, he tried to jump off her shoulder, but the quick girl grabbed him in midair before he could go anywhere. "Oh, no you don't. You little sneak." She put the mini dog back onto her shoulder as Ryou gave her an odd look.

"What are you talking about, Kiju?" he asked.

"Oh nothing." She said with a little smile. "Well what are you waiting for?"

With a sigh, Ryou followed the overly happy girl into the maze of clothes. He looked around blushing more and more with each passing moment. Kiju stopped at a rack of bras and turned to Ryou.

"You look to be about a c cup. What color do you want?"

Ryou blinked at her. He didn't even know color mattered. The entire situation was baffling. There were so many different designs and styles. How the hell would he know what to pick. "Why does color matter?"

Now it was Kiju's turn to blush as Matt laughed in her ear. She flicked the small dog away again, deciding that she really didn't want to go into explaining. "Well it doesn't I guess. How about black?"

Ryou nodded. It didn't matter to him. Kiju gathered several off the rack and handed them to him. Once again, his face turned beet red. He really wished that he hadn't drunk that dumb potion. I mean, he was always taught not to take candy from strangers, but no one had ever said anything about taking love potions from a strange blue haired girl with a tiny dog riding on her shoulder.

Wait a second, a dog? Ryou had just noticed Matt climbing back onto Kiju's shoulder, so he leaned closer for a better look. Kiju stopped him before he could though.

"How about these, Ryou?" she said, holding up a thong with the word "cutie" printed on the front. Ryou stared. He could not imagine that it could be comfortable. He took it from her, looking it over.

"But it's so small. How do you put it on?" he tried stretching it out, but he lost his grip and the thong went flying. Ryou blushed again as he watched it soar off into the air. Kiju of course, thought it was hilarious.

"Ahem."

Ryou and Kiju turned around to find a slightly annoyed salesman standing behind them. "Does that belong there?" he said, indicating the thong.

Ryou blushed again and picked the garment up. Kiju smiled, and gave him several other objects. "Go try on the bras ok?"

Ryou felt like he was going to have a heart attack. "What? In public?"

"Yes, right here." Matt said, and Kiju slapped him like he was a fly.

"In the dressing room, Ryou." She said, ushering him inside. He started to protest, but the words never reached Kiju's ears.

Kiju, satisfied with herself, leaned against the wall, smiling to herself.

Ryou stared at the bras in bewilderment. How was he supposed to put them on anyway? One of them seemed to close in the back, but one of the others did have a way to close in the back. And a few didn't even have straps. He threw them down to the floor in frustration. How was he supposed to figure this out on his own? But then, the only other option was to ask Kiju, so he decided to deal with it himself.

He slipped one over his arms, and went to work trying to close it. "I don't know how girls deal with this sort of stuff!"

He fell silent when he heard a girl start giggling in the dressing room next to his. He began to blush. No doubt she had heard his ranting. He sighed and prayed for death, going back to working on getting dressed.

Kiju hummed to herself while she waited. So far thing weren't going to badly. After this they would go get makeup and shoes and then…oh yeah. A thought suddenly struck her. How was she going to pay? She may have been Fate, but that didn't mean she had unlimited money. She tapped Matt, waking him up.

"Matt, stay here. I'll be right back." She started walk away as he jumped down, but stopped and looked back. "And stay right there! No spying! Understand?" Matt groaned, but obliged.

Ryou pulled his shirt back over his head. He had figured most of the bras out, but they all felt weird, so he wondered if they were put on the right way. He gathered everything up and stepped outside, looking around for Kiju.

She was standing against the wall, looking very pleased. "Are you all set?" she asked.

Ryou sighed. "Yeah, can we go home now?"

Kiju smiled. we should go get shoes and makeup, but I'll send someone out for those." She said.

Ryou breathed a sigh of relief. At last, they could go home. Kiju began to lead them out, heading toward the resister to pay. Luckily, they didn't have to stand in line long, and the cashier began to ring them up. The cashier looked to be a little older than they were, or at least older than Ryou, who knew how old Kiju was, but the teen kept glancing at Ryou.

He felt his face growing red again as Kiju suppressed a giggle. She leaned over and whispered in his ear. "I think he likes you."

Ryou shoved her away as the teen finished ringing them up. "Say, do you think that maybe I could get your phone number?" he asked Ryou sheepishly.

Ryou blushed an even brighter shade of red and kept silent. Luckily though, Kiju saved him.

"She has a boyfriend." Fate said cheerfully. The teen looked a little disappointed, but gave them the total. Kiju reached into her pocket and pulled out a credit card. She handed it to the cashier, while Ryou looked on suspiciously.

He leaned over and whispered into her ear. "Whose credit card is that?"

Kiju smiled and handed it to him so he could see, as the cashier packed everything into bags. Ryou looked at the credit card and felt his face go pale.

"Tea Gardner?!"



OoOo…Kiju is a little thief! Hehe! So what will happen to our dear Ryou next? Stay tuned! And review! ^_^
