Thanks for the reviews. Haha, I always like to make Fuji and Eiji hang out on Fuji's bed when they weren't active. Don't know why. It's the "Fuji's Bed Effect."

Disclaimer, Warning, all that junk.

And by the way, Ryouma is not necessariy spelt as "Ryoma." (Is "spelt" a word?! I think I should have used "spelled," instead... .) Just like how I would rather spell a name like "Kyo" with only "o," while others wrote it as "Kyou." So, when it comes to names, sometimes it does not matter whether it is "ou" or "o." Souma, Soma. Kaido, Kaidoh, Kaidou. See?

And also, I have seen PLENTY of times where Ryouma started out a tennis match with a twist serve, then when he uses Drive B, it's usually around the middle of the game, but other times it just comes. Yes, I HAVE seen Ryouma use Drive B in his first few moves in a match. If I told you where I've seen it, it might be a spoiler for some... .

Note to the reviewers I wrote those two paragraphs for, I'm not trying to curse you out, if that's what it sounds like! Nya, I don't mean bad-word cursing. Obviously... Well, you know, I didn't mean to sound... mean, if it sounded so... Ack! I'm confusing you and myself! ~.~

Again, thanks for reviewing. Now that that's all cleared up, on with the fic!

~*~

Ryouma and Chiharu had long since left Momo to his business. Little did they know that currently, his business was to spy on them, with Ann at his side not wanting to miss any fun.

Ann smiled as they hid behind a soda machine. This would be even more fun for her, considering she was the only one who knew that Chiharu was actually Taichi! She was just wonering how mad Ryouma will be if he finds out...

"Where are we going?" Ryouma asked, sounding uninterested.

Chiharu furrowed her brow in thought, worried that whatever she said might annoy him. Taking into consideration Ryouma's impatient, almost bratty attitude, "Um... Maybe... we can.. see a movie?"

"Whatever."

Hm, that wasn't so bad.

At the movie theater, Chiharu sat in the seat nervously. Echizen noticed it just a bit strange that she had chosen an action movie rather than one of those disgusting romance stories. That, at least, he was glad for, though he did not show it, of course.

Chiharu felt a bit jumpy in the seat. Ryouma wondered what the heck was so exciting about people jumping around in slow motion and shooting at each other. You'd think all those bullets would hit someone at least once! And why the heck did they have to ruin the movie by putting some barbie girl fasion model into the mix to fall in love with the main character? Why can't they ever have an action movie without some type of love activity, like kissing, or other things if the rating was higher. This, unfortunately, was a high rated move. Ooh, some headless guys in the closet...

"Um, Ryouma-kun?"

Great, right when things were actually getting interesting, "Nani?"

"I don't like this movie."

Christ! The best bloody part of the movie, and she doesn't like it! "I don't care."

He got up and walked down the row, following closely behind was Chiharu.

"Grrr. Baka Echizen!" Momo cursed under his breath, as Ann nudged him in the side, "C'mon. We have to go follow them!" She whispered, pushing him to get out of the back row.

Once outside again, the couple rested on a bench outside. Ryouma was staring off into space, and Chiharu was softly rubbing her knees together nervously, 'Why am I like this? Those two strange Seigaku regulars... What were their names? Fuji, Eiji... Yeah, they made me do this... desu...'

Behind the bushes, Ann tried to calm the fuming Momo.

"What's that baka yaro doing?! Say something to her, you fool!!!"

"Calm down, Momo-chan! What if they hear you?!"

"I don't give a damn! I wanna march right there and give Echizen a good-"

"Sh! I think they're going to say something."

Chiharu bit her lip, she had to do something before the date was over, or she wouldn't get her notebook back from those evil Seigaku regulars! "Do you think I'm weird, Ryouma-kun?"

"Hai, a little."

'He thinks I'm weird??' "Why do you think so?"

"You remind me a lot of someone."

"....How do you feel about.. That someone?..."

".........Okay, I guess...."

"That doesn't sound like an honest answer, desu."

Echizen turned slightly to stare at her, "He's a nice person."

'Okay, he said, "he." I wonder if... What if he already knows?' "I see."

"You're the same."

"N-nani?"

"You're the same feeling as that person. Like you two are the same."

Chiharu's heart began racing, did Echizen really figure out who she was? "Um... What's this person's name?"

Ryouma hesitated, but then answered, "I'd rather not say."

"Oh."

There was some silence, and finally Chiharu spoke again.

"Why can't you tell me? I'd like to know, if me and that person are so much alike!"

"You say 'desu' a lot."

"So... desu?"

"Your eyes look the same. Your voice, same behaviour, same.... everything, except, you're a girl."

Chiharu sighed inwardly when he called her a girl, that meant he didn't figure her out afterall. She gave a small smile, Ryouma was now trying his best not to stare. Funny how strange he was acting, like he was afraid of something... She pulled a watch out of her pocket and studied it. It's almost time up. They had to go back to the courts to see Fuji and Eiji.

"It's almost time. Should we start walking, desu?"

"Hai."

They got up from the bench and stretched. Even though some events that day were boring, Chiharu got to learn some things of how Ryouma thought of her, even if he didn't know he was talking about how he felt about her.

As they were walking along, Ryouma stopped suddenly.

"What is it?"

"Betsuni." Even though he said it was nothing, he seemed to be staring at her strangely.

"What?"

"I forgot something."

"What is that?"

Somehow, Ryouma felt he knew this person, actually, it took him the whole day to figure it out! He leaned in, Chiharu froze in place, blushing furiously.

Momo was practically sweating with excitement, Ann was concentrating hard as if everything was in slow motion. Well, everything was in slow motion. True, he had had a crush on the Seigaku freshman for a while, but wouldn't Ryouma be mad if he found out who he was later? He had to tell him now, before it was too late.

"...R-Ryouma-kun?"

"Ryouma stopped, "Nani?"

"I.... I have something to tell you..."

Ann gaped as she watch from afar, Chiharu removed the green ribbon, she pulled a bandana over her head. That was all it took for the craftly, shapeshifting kid to go from Taichi to Chiharu, then back to Taichi again, and you'd never know.

"I'm sorry for doing this to you... It's just that, well, Fuji-kun knew about my crushed and-"

Taichi seemed surprised when Ryouma decided to kiss him then anyway. He felt fluttering in his stomach, getting weaker, it seemed to feel like. Maybe over the time they'd spent together had finally pushed his "crush" a bit further...

From behind the bush, Ann was starry eyed, but Momo was shocked til' he couldn't move a muscle.

"E-Echizen and.... And...."

"Isn't that just sweet?"

"Oh my God."

Well, as the kiss ended, they got another surprise.

"Congratulations, Dan-kun." Came a nice, calm voice, a smiling face. Taichi blushed again, knowing that what he was wearing was more feminine material, but he had a feminine enough build to wear it... still....

"Hoi! Ochibi!! Nice move!" Eiji pounced onto Echizen, squeezing the very life out of him.

"Let go, Eiji-senpai."

"No!"

Fuji smiled and once again turned his attentions to Taichi, "Ah, here's the notebook we took from you earlier. I didn't think you'd actually agree to this just to get a notebook back.

Uh-oh, somehow, that didn't sound right.

"You did all this, for a notebook?" Came the annoyed voice of Echizen Ryouma, who seemingly had black aura surrounding him at the moment.

"Ah, hai, desu. Um, no! No, I didn't! Really!"

"Taichi Dan-kun."

'Ack! He never called me by name before!' "I really didn't!!"

~*~

Right Taichi, you chose a notebook out of love.

Taichi: No, I didn't! I love Echizen more than this stupid book!

Ryouma: Then, I wanna see it burn.

Taichi: Umm... I can't do that. ^^;

Ryouma: :(

Taichi: .

Ok, that was a strange ending, but aw well. That the end of Ryouma's Date, people! Hope you liked it, review on your way out, please. ^^
