A Matchmaking Documentary

Chapter 2
A Perfect Match- Day 1

After dinner in the Hanabishi residence...
The phone rings.
"I'll get it"; Kaoru goes to the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello? Can I talk to Kaoru?"
"Onaji, It's me, Kaoru".
"Tomorrow's Saturday, we can get together to start on our project".
"Uh... sure, but I still don't know if it'd work".
"Of course, it'd work".
"Fine, but if things get worse, it's not my fault".
"Yeah, ok. Anyway, I'll go over there tomorrow. I'll bring my video cam".
"Yeah, sure".
"Good, I gotta go now, bye!" Onaji puts the phone down. Kaoru sighs and puts the phone down.

"Who was that?" Recca asked.
"Onaji, we have a project. She's coming over tomorrow".
"What kind of project?"
"It's a... um... top secret".

Kaoru was in front of the whole class. It was pretty dark and there was a spotlight on him. He had a TV beside him. Mr. Yamaguchi was also among the audience with spotlight on him too.
"What are you waiting for Mr. Koganei? We don't have all day. Show us what you've got", Mr. Yamaguchi said.
"Um... Uh... Well..." Kaoru looked at the audience nervously. He was sweating.
"Well? Go ahead Kaoru"; A spotlight appeared on top of Onaji. She was also sitting in the audience. Kaoru picked a tape up from the table. His hands were shaking and it made him drop the tape. Everyone started laughing. Koganei picked it up and turned red. He put it in the VHS player.

(On TV)
"Kaoru, how can you do this to me? I can't believe my own cousin could do this to me", Fuuko said.
"You know, you're the one Hokage member I gave respect to and you do this", Tokiya said coldly.
"How can you use me as your project? You are so mean!!!" Tokiya brought out his Ensui and water out of nowhere turned it into a sword. He pointed it at Kaoru. Fuuko also shows her Fuujin. All crystals were there. The four small crystals and the center were all placed there.
"Fuuko-neechan, how did you get all your crystals?" Kaoru asked.
"It's none of your business. All you need to know, is that you should run while you still can", Fuuko attacks Kaoru with Fuujin. "Wow, this thing is really powerful", Kaoru was on the ground, luckily, not hit. He eyes were totally wide.
"That was so close!!!"
"This time it would really hit you", Tokiya pointed his Ensui in Kaoru's nose.

(Back in class)
Everyone was laughing at him. Mr. Yamaguchi gave him a paper that has a big F written on it in red. Kaoru was still all red with embarrassment.
"He's like sooo embarrassing. I can't believe I like had a crush on him", said one of his classmates.
"Kaoru, how could you do this? It's so humiliating. Our principal is watching", Onaji said.
"P-pr-principal???" there was spotlight on the principal at the back laughing.
"No, I knew it was bad idea, no. I didn't do anything. It was Onaji's idea. NO!!!" zoom in to Kaoru's face.
"Kaoru! Kaoru! Kaoru!" someone started to call out. Zoom out and Kaoru was in bed shouting.
"NO!! NO!!"
"Kaoru!!! Wake up", Onaji was beside him shaking him awake.

"NO!!!" Kaoru finally wakes up. "Onaji, it was horrible. Everyone was laughing at me".
"Don't worry, it was just a dream".
"Onaji, maybe we shouldn't do this. Maybe we shouldn't use Tokiya-niichan and Fuuko-neechan for our project".
"I know it all sounds stupid but I really have a good feeling about them".
"Really? That weird, I have a feeling we'll regret this".

Later in Kagero's new restaurant...
Mr. Yamaguchi walks in and sits down. Kagero walks to him.
"May I have your order?" Mr. Yamaguchi stares at her like he has seen an angel. There were flowers all around her and you know animes make someone look so pretty. "Excuse me?"
"What were you saying?"
"I was asking you what you'd like to eat".
"Oh yes, of course".

"Mr. Yamaguchi? What are you doing here?" Kaoru and Onaji came in.
"Koganei? Kameko? I'm here to eat. Why?"
"Oh yeah, this is a restaurant, he he he", Kaoru scratched his head.
"Onaji, Kaoru, what are you doing here?" Kagero asked.
"Kagero-san, we're going to talk about our project".
"I'll go get you something to eat then. I'll go get his food too", Kagero said and left.

"You know her?" Mr. Yamaguchi asked.
"Kagero-san? Of course I know her. We live in the same house".
"Really??? I mean, oh. So her name is Kagero and you have the same address as hers?"
"Hai, why?"
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Anyway, how's your project going?"
"We're working on it right now".
"Good".

"Here, let's do it", Onaji gave Kaoru the camera.

(On Camera)
"Greetings, I'm Kameko Onaji and that's my partner Koganei Kaoru holding the camera. I'd like to introduce you all to this little documentary we'd like to call 'A Perfect Match'. In chemistry, we all know that opposites attract. We want to believe that it's true to all sorts of stuff. And we're going to prove that with our subjects 'Kirisawa Fuuko and Mikagami Tokiya', exact opposites. Ok cut".
(Off Camera)

"Alright, it's your turn", Onaji took the camera and they walked to Fuuko's house.

(On Camera)
"Um... Hi! I'm Koganei Kaoru and this is 'A Perfect Match' Day one, Saturday, 4:00 pm, Kirisawa Residence".
(Off Camera)

They walk to the bushes to keep Fuuko from seeing them.

(On Camera)
"That girl over there with the short purple hair is my cousin, Kirisawa Fuuko, one of our subjects. 16 years old, 1st year high school. Hobbies are fighting and hanging out with the gang. Today, we will start executing our mission by finding out our subjects' current status and what Fuuko-neechan thinks of Tokiya-niichan", Kaoru walks in.
"Ne, Fuuko-neechan", Kaoru tried to get her attention.
"Kaoru? What are you doing here? Recca said you were doing a project with Onaji".
"Oh Yeah, I am. Anyway, um... I wasn't doing anything anymore so I decided to drop by and say hey. So, what are you doing?".
"Doing mom a favor by watering these plants", Fuuko answered.
"Hey, speaking of water, how are you and Tokiya-niichan right now?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you two were kinda acting weird when we were at the beach".
"The truth is, I thought I convinced Mi-chan to be nicer to me when we were there by being extra nice to him".
"Yeah?"
"He said he will and I guess there was a little improvement. But it was so little, you hardly ever notice it".
"How do you think about him right now?"
"I think of him as a friend but I still won't stop until he warms up to me. Why are you asking me this anyway?"
"No, no reason. It's not because I'm doing a project about it or anything. I'm just curious", Kaoru said nervously.
"Your doing a project about it?"
"No, of course not. Wow, look at the time. I really have to going. See you around Fuuko-neechan", Kaoru waved and went out faster than you can say 'escape'.
(Off Camera)

"Kaoru, what were you doing? You almost got us caught there", Onaji said as she went out the bushes.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it".
"Anyway, that was awesome. That was more than I bargained for. Mission for day one complete".

Recca was whistling while walking to Yanagi's house. He rings the doorbell.
"Recca-kun, hi!" Yanagi greeted as she opened the door. Recca opened the door all the way to get in. He sees Domon sitting on te couch drinking some juice.
"Domon??? What are you doing here?" Recca asked.
"Visiting my wonderful Yanagi-sama of course. Making sure she's ok and not lonely".
"If you've forgotten, Domon. THAT'S MY JOB!!!" Recca yelled angrily.
"Recca-kun, that's so mean. Domon-kun was just being nice", Yanagi said, upset at Recca's behaviour.
"Eh, sorry hime. It's just that... well... um" Recca blushed.
"That's ok Recca-kun. But next time, don't be so hot-headed".
"Anything you say hime", Recca said with a fake smile. He glared at Domon. Domon just grinned.

"I'm still not sure about what we're doing. What if Tokiya-niichan and Fuuko-neechan find out? I'm dead"
"They won't find out, Kaoru. They only get to find out after our project. I'm sure they'd thank us".
"I doubt it. They'd probably kill us if they find out we were filming them and exposing their love story to the whole class".
"I guess you have a point. They don't ever find out", Onaji sipped her shake.
"How can I let you talk me into this?"
"I guess you just can't resist my charms".
"I don't think it's your charms".
"I have a talent in bullying people".
"That must be it".

Later that night...
The doorbell rang and Kagero ran to get it.
"May I help you?" there was a delivery guy standing in front of her.
"Yes, I have a package for Ms. Kagero. Are you Ms. Kagero?"
"Yes", the delivery guy gave her a big bouquet of pink roses. "Thank you. May I know who sent this?" Kagero asked as she was signing the paper.
"I don't know. I'm just the delivery guy", he said and left.

"Mom, where did those come from?" Recca asked.
"I don't know. There's no name", Kagero opened the envelope and read the poem.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I know they're pink
But they're as beautiful as you

"That is so corny", Recca said as he heard the poem.
"I think it's kinda sweet", Kagero said. Recca rolled his eyes and went up. "I guess he's in a bad mood".

End of Chapter 2

Author's notes: I think you should know that I've been reading a lot of Popular fanfiction. I even read a 'How to Write an accurate Popular fanfiction' fanfic. It convinced me never to write Popular fanfiction and just stick to writing anime and music fanfics. I can't believe how complicated it is to write Popular. I did kinda refer to it when I was writing this though. It helped, that's why you might notice this is a little Popularish. Please review!!! (Disclaimer: I don't own Flame of Recca and its characters that I used here. I don't own anything here a lazy fanfic author like me can't possibly own. Please don't sue me)
