A Matchmaking Documentary
Chapter 4
Recca VS Domon
The next day in Yanagi's house...
"So Hime, why isn't Domon here?" Recca asked.
"I told him not to come today", Yanagi answered.
"Why?"
"Cause I know you'd come. I don't want you two fighting again".
"He started it".
"No he didn't. You did".
"Fine, maybe I did but it's only because I care about you and I don't want him to do anything to you".
"You know Domon-kun wouldn't let anything happen to me. He cares about me too like you".
"And you also care about him?"
"Yes, of course".
"That's what I'm afraid of".
"Alright, that's enough you two. We'll be late for school" Fuuko came in.

Meanwhile in Kagero's restaurant...
"Kagero-san, it's for you", a waitress said holding the telephone up.
"Hai, arigatou", Kagero took the phone.
"Hello?"
"I love you", a weird, deep voice said.
"Eh... Excuse me?"
"I love you Kagero-san".
"Who is this?" she heard a click then a dial tone. "Hello? Hello???" she walked away looking nervous about what was going on with her lately.
***
In Kaoru and Onaji's science class...
"Where's Mr. Yamaguchi?" everyone was wondering why their teacher was late. "Mr. Yamaguchi's never late".
"Kaoru, do you know what happened to Mr. Yamaguchi?" Onaji asked. Kaoru shrugged and just then Mr. Yamaguchi came in the classroom.
"Sorry, I'm late. I was making a very important phone call", he said. Murmurs were heard from the class. "Alright, QUIET!" he shouted and pounded his hand on his desk. Everyone automatically shut up as they heard him. "Now, how's your project going along?" Mr. Yamaguchi asked. He walked slowly around the classroom. Deciding which student to ask. Everyone sat straight and kept their eyes in front.
Kaoru was sitting down like everyone else. Although he looked cool with what's going on. Deep inside he was pleading for Mr. Yamaguchi not to choose him.
'Please, don't pick me. Please, don't pick me. Please!!'
"Mr. Koganei! How's your project going along?" Mr. Yamaguchi pulled out some sort of whip from his pocket and hit it on Kaoru's table. Kaoru swallowed as he watched his teacher's gesture. "Well?"
"Uh... yeah, the project", Kaoru stood up and looked nervously at his classmates. He looked at Onaji beside him who was waiting patiently for his answer like everyone else. "It's going just fine".
"JUST fine?" Mr. Yamaguchi started walking towards his table again.
"It's going great. We already have our couple and we've already made a few shots and interviews", Kaoru voice was shaking.
He still wasn't sure about the coupling. Though it's looking pretty good. He had to face reality. The odds of succeeding in trying to put Fuuko and Tokiya together are not very high.
"Very good", Mr. Yamaguchi said. "And what about Mr. Kito and partner?" he said mockingly. He enjoyed making fun of his students. Suki rolled her eyes as Mr. Yamaguchi reminded her of having Kito as her partner.
"Do you really have to rub it in, Yamaguchi-sensei", she asked.
"Hai, now will you give me a report on how it's going so far?"
"It's a disaster. He is like so totally boring. And we like, found a really bad couple cause they're like from his family. He's camera is like way too complicated and unreliable that it like broke after I pushed a few buttons and we haven't got anything done", she said furiously. Kito sweatdropped.
"Really? Well, I'll be looking forward to seeing your project. And Ms. Hosui of course?"
"Huh?" Hosui woke up from daydreaming as she heard her last name. "What was that again?" she started to twirl her golden curls which was tied up in pigtails.
"How's your project with Ms. Tokiko?" he asked her.
"Um... project? Uh..." she sighed trying to analyze her situation. Arrow pointing to Hosui: Slow Girl
"That's right Ms. Hosui, your matchmaking project with Tokiko over there. You know? The dorky girl I'm pointing to right now with the short hair and glasses. The one that always talks to you about school", he said as if he was talking to a little girl. "Work with me Nikaru".
"Ah, yes, Mitaki-san!" she finally figures out what he was talking about.
"Oh brother!" Tokiko whispered to herself as she slapped her head. "Sensei, our project is going just fine. Now, will you please stop making the poor girl think too much? It's past her brain capacity", Tokiko stood up.
"Alright, You can sit down now Hosui. Just gently bend your knees and slowly lay your bottom on your chair. That's right, you did it. I'm so proud of you. Everyone, clap your hands for Nikaru", everyone lazily applaud for her.
"Now, back to our lessons..."
***
Later after school...
Recca and Fuuko were waiting outside Yanagi's classroom for her.
"Remember, if you see Domon, lead us to the opposite direction", Recca said.
"Recca, you're a baka. Do you really think that Domon is actually capable of taking Yanagi away from you?"
"No, of course not. I... I just... I'm just making sure that..." Recca couldn't think of any excuse. Fuuko was right. He was afraid that Domon would take his Hime.
"You don't have to lie to me. Actually, I'd be worried too if I were you but Recca, I doubt your princess will dump you for Domon".
Before Recca could answer, all of Yanagi's classmates went out.
"Recca-kun!" Yanagi called behind him.
"Hime!" Recca looked beside him and saw Domon coming their way. "We better go"; he pulled Fuuko and Yanagi's arms and dragged them with him as far away as possible. Domon looks around and finally saw them.
"Fuuko!" he called and started to run after them.
"Oh shoot!" Recca said as he saw Domon. He ran faster but let go of Fuuko. Fuuko still ran but there were so many people that she wasn't able to catch up to them.
"Fuuko, where's my Yanagi-sama?" Domon ran up to her.
"She's with Recca. I wasn't able to catch up with them".
"They're avoiding me, aren't they?"
"Recca is, he's jea- I mean they were in a hurry cause Yanagi um... she forgot to turn off her... hair blower", Fuuko decided not to tell Domon that Recca thinks he's a threat because he'll probably feel like is an all mighty god than he already does.
Besides, she had a plan. Using Domon, she might just be able to get Recca and Yanagi to finally confess their feelings to each other.
'It's time to play matchmaker', she thought.
"Her hair blower?" Domon shook her off her thoughts.
"Hai, they're on their way to Yanagi's house. Why don't you come over there? I'm sure Yanagi will be glad to see you", Fuuko grinned.
"You really think Yanagi-sama will love to see me?"
"Of course, now go", Fuuko's grin widened.
***
In Kagero's restaurant...
Seated on their usual booth were Kaoru and Onaji.
"What do we do for today?" Kaoru asked. Onaji looked up at him from her video cam that she was trying to adjust.
"We should talk to them about how the other thinks about them. They might just like what they'll hear"; she said and went back to her video cam.
"Man, you've got this all figured out".
"Yeah, I know. I told you to trust me on this".
"But still, I'm not so sure if we should keep doing this. I'm starting to feel guilty and I've been having these visions that we'll fail this and my social life is over".
"Well, get over it. We're gonna do it. Believe me, it won't be so bad. I mean, think about what our other classmates can come up with. Like Suki or Nikaru".
"I guess you're right. But what if they find out?"
"They won't find out", Kaoru's eyes widened as he saw Tokiya come in the restaurant and head towards them.
"Onaji?" he called.
"What? I told you, Fuuko-neechan and Tokiya-niichan won't find out that..."
"Find out what?" she heard a cool voice ask behind her.
"Huh?" she looked behind her and saw Tokiya standing there. "Tokiya-neechan, how're you doing?" she smiled at him.
"What won't me and Fuuko find out?"
"Nothing... Just what kind of project me and Kaoru are having".
"Which is?"
"We can't tell you. It's really top secret. So, what are you doing here anyway?" she tried to change the subject.
"There's no other place where I can study in peace. Some dimwit wanted to make my life more miserable and told everyone where I lived so now all those girls are rallying in front of my house".
"Bummer, Onaji, never tell anyone my address", Kaoru said.
"So, why don't you take a seat here? Kaoru and me are going to the bathroom. We'll be right back", she said.
"But I don't have to-", Kaoru started.
"Kaoru, let's go", Onaji strictly said and grabbed Kaoru's arm. Tokiya quietly sat down.
"Onaji, what the hell is up?" Kaoru and Onaji were standing outside the door of the bathroom. Onaji was setting up the camera. She wasn't answering him. "ONAJI?"
"Shhh!!! Someone might hear you. Look, you go back there and tell Tokiya-niichan about your talk with Fuuko-neechan. I'm going out to shoot it on camera".
"Demo-".
"Kaoru, don't waste this perfect opportunity. He came to us this time. He won't notice that we've been coming to him to talk about it".
"But what should I-".
"Go!"
Onaji walked outside and placed the camera on the window by where they were sitting. She turned on the video cam and started to shoot it.
(On Camera)
It was just the sight of Tokiya sitting down and studying.
"I'm Kameko Onaji again and this is 'A Perfect Match' day three. We're in 'Kagero's Restaurant' right now, 4:00 pm, Monday. You're seeing Tokiya-niichan studying. A little later, you'll all see Kaoru talking to him about Fuuko-neechan's thoughts on him. Our objective is to see his reaction. Okay, there's Kaoru", Kaoru was walking nervously to Tokiya. He was sweating and he looked like he had just escaped from prison and the police are looking for him.
"Tokiya-niichan", he sat down in front of Tokiya. Tokiya just looked up at him then went back to his book. "I talked to Fuuko-neechan last Saturday. And she said something about you", Kaoru said. Tokiya looked at him again as he heard Fuuko's name.
"What did she say?" Tokiya asked. He was interested in what Fuuko has to say for some reason. He didn't know what. What he does know is that he can't let anyone notice.
"Well, she said that she thought she convinced you to be nicer to her when we were on the beach but the improvement was so little that you hardly ever notice it. Is that really true?"
"What else did she say?" Tokiya didn't know how to answer Kaoru's question. He just had to know what she was saying about him.
"She said she won't stop until you warm up to her".
"That baka".
"She's really determined", Kaoru said wanting to make Tokiya to feel guilty.
"Really? That's just too bad for her", it was exactly what Kaoru expected as a response. But he knows Tokiya really didn't mean it.
"Hai, whatever you say Tokiya-niichan", Tokiya just shook his head and went back to his book.
(Off Camera)
Onaji turns her head to her side. She just saw someone coming. She saw a high school girl coming in the door of the restaurant. She was wearing the same uniform as the one from Recca's school. She had short purple hair and she looked just like... Fuuko!!!
"Oh no!" Onaji turned the camera off and went in. She tried to hide the camera and sat next to Kaoru.
"Kaoru, Fuuko-neechan's here", Onaji whispered.
"I know. It's too risky to go on".
"Yeah, I think we've got enough anyway", just then Fuuko walked over to them wearing the restaurant's apron and holding a notepad and pen.
"Konnichiwa minna-san!" she greeted perkily. "Konnichiwa Tokiya! How are you doing today?"
"Fine", he answered coldly without even looking at her.
