Hello! This is Hitomi-chan once again. Anyone who has gotten mad at me for not continuing this story (including Katie), do not feel bad; I have not updated any of my other stories either. So that's that. Please review!

There were gunshots heard and fired at the van as it sped away. Luckily, Hitomi's driving caused K to miss the windows and the tires of the OtakuMobile as it drove away.

"Eiiii!" Katie screamed, scared of both the bullets and Hitomi's driving. There were no seats or seatbelts in the back of the van so Tohma and Shuuichi were flying about. Shuuichi flew face first into the back window and there was a loud 'SPLAT!' as he struck. Tohma was hanging on for dear life as the van sped down the street. He tried to hang onto his fake politeness but his patience was wearing thin.

"Where did you get your driver's license?!" Tohma screamed.

"I... uh..." Hitomi had to think quickly while she narrowly missed getting in a fender-bender with the car in front of her. "I took a crash course."

"In what!? Neglagent homicide?!"

"In stalking a celebrity." Hitomi replied.

"You know," Katie said to her friend out of the corner of her mouth. "Seguchi Tohma-san isn't really that polite."

Tohma's eyes narrowed. "I CAN hear you."

Shuuichi was wailing. "He's gonna kill me! He's gonna kill me!"

"You know," Katie said a bit uneasily. "I think your kindred spirit back there is having an emotional breakdown."

"Why wouldn't he!?" Tohma demanded. "You're maniacs!"

"You agreed to help us!" Hitomi shot back in her and her friend's defense.

"I didn't know you'd kidnap me! I just wanted to park my Porsche!"

"You jumped in the car!" Hitomi yelled. "No one put a gun to your head!"

"Actually..." Katie said, thinking back on the situation they had just escaped from.

"That idiot K was shooting at us!" Tohma screamed. He was all frazzeled. And Shuuichi's face was splattered against the back window. "He might as well had that damned gun at my head!"

"I get it!" Hitomi yelled. Her driving was mediocre to begin with, but since the great keyboardist was sceaming at her, it got her even more uneasy and she started to lose what litle concentration she had in the first place on the road. It wasn't until Katie slammed her back against the seat and screamed,

"Look out!" That Hitomi even knew she was about to hit someone. She screamed.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

Hiro screamed. "Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!"

Hitomi screamed. "Aaaaaahhhhh!!"

Hiro screamed. "Aaaaaahhhh!!!"

Hitomi screamed. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Hiro screamed. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And then...

THUMP!

Hitomi screamed even more and slammed on the breaks, spinning the van around. Tears were spilling from her eyes and steam was emmiting from the hood of the OtakuMobile. Hitomi was shaking. "My onii-chan!!" She cried.

"I think you killed him." Tohma said after a moment's silence. Hitomi sobbed even more.

"Hiro!?" Shuuichi cried.

"Shut up!" Katie snapped at Tohma and Shuuichi in defense of her wife ((A/N: Katie and I are married. In spirit. That's why it's mentioned. Sorry for confusion)). Turning to the quivering Hitomi, she said, "I'll go check on him." With that, she shoved open her door and got out, running over to Hiro-kun. He was laying on the ground, completely covered in red. He was not moving. Katie's breath caught in her throat as she stood there, frozen. She then was shocked and speechless as she saw that Hiro was moving. He stood up. Tears were spilling from his eyes. "You're alive!" Katie said, relieved beyond any doubt.

"My tomatoes!" He cried.

Katie: o.O!!????

"To.... tomatoes...?"

"Yes!" Hiro exclaimed. "You idiots hit my tomatoes! Now look at them!" He the gestured all around the street. "They're all ruined! Ruined!"

"Wait..." Katie said slowly, trying to piece together the situation. "Did you have these tomatoes before when we ran into you?"

"No!" Hiro sobbed.

"Then..." Katie then concluded. "You got them after we kidnapped Shuu-chan!?" She then hit him on the head.

"Oww...!" He whined.

"What kind of boyfriend are you?!" Katie yelled. "Your love gets kidnapped and you go out and buy tomatoes!?"

"Well..." Hiro sniffed, rubbing his nose. "They were on sale. And the lady was really nice..."

"BAKA!" She screamed. She hit him on the head again and with a dignified 'hmph!' she turned and marched back over to the OtakuMobile. When she got back to the car, she opened her door, got back in and slammed it shut. She crossed her arms across her chest and 'hmph'-ed again. Hitomi, who had realized Hiro was not dead and she had not run him over, had stopped crying. She looked at her wife, puzzled.

"What is it?"

"That baka onii-chan of yours bought tomatoes after we kidnapped Shuuichi!"
"You mean..."

"That's right. He did not care about Shuu-chan and he wanted his tomatoes."

"There... there must be a mistake!" Hitomi said, trying to think of anything to save her brother.

"There isn't."

"There has to be!"

"There's not!"

"But..."

"That's it, Hitomi." Hitomi gasped.

"What's it?"

"We're through."

"No! We can't be!"
"Well, we are for right now! I do not want to deal with that pathetic tomato freak!" She said angrily. "Caring more about tomatoes than Shuuichi." She muttered. Getting out of the van once again, she opened the back to let out Tohma and Shuuichi. "Get out. We're done."

"Free!" Shuuichi exclaimed cheerfully. Tohma's eyes narrowed.

"What? What do you mean 'we're done'?"

Katie shrugged. "We're done." She repeated.

"Hell, no!" He yelled. "I did not risk my life for nothing! I made a deal with you two!"

"We're done for right now, Tohma." Katie sighed. "We'll be back."

As Tohma got out of the van and Katie closed the door, getting in herself, he asked, "Could you at least give me a ride back to my car?" There were blasts of gunshots heard from behind the OtakuMobile. Everyone ducked and the back window of the vehicle was smashed. Glass fell everywhere.

"Aww..." Hitomi whined. "And this van's up for inspection next week. I have to get that fixed." She pouted.

"If you don't get us outta here, we won't even live till next week!" Katie yelled. Turning to Tohma as Hitomi started the van once again and started to speed off, she said, "Sorry." And then the van was gone, leaving behind Hiro, the crying tomato covered guitarist; Shuuichi, the pink haired, pocky breathed vocalist; and Tohma, a high-tempered Grasper keyboardist; all within the hands of K, an insane American with a gun.

-------------------------------

Later....

-------------------------------

"Psst!"

"What?"

"Psst!"

"What?!"

"Psst!"

"WHAT!?"

Hitomi laughed. "I just like to say 'psst!'" Katie sighed in disgust and rolled her eyes. She and Hitomi were back once again. Luckily, Shuuichi, Tohma and Hiro all got away gunshot wound free, but not so much could be said for Hiro's tomatoes. Although they were mutilated from the accident with the OtakuMobile, they were damaged beyond all recognoition after K got through with them. Hiro was in even deeper spirits then.

"So, do you have it?"

"I had to slit a few throats but I got it." She said mysteriously, taking something out of her pocket. She was immitating the guy from the beginning of 'Aladdin'.

Katie: T.T

"Uh huh...." She said slowly. She then reached out and took the object from Hitomi's hand. "Stop joking around."

"Sorry." Hitomi apologized as she smiled. Katie held up the object and looked at it. "Hmm..." It was an object that was very rare. It had the ability to slow time and it affected a two mile radius from where it is activated. They would not be using it that long. But it was brilliantly disguised; it was fancied up to look like an ordinary Yuugiou Kaiba Seto wrist watch.

"Very good." Katie said, smiling mischeviously. "Okay. We will use it right when he comes, okay?"

"Okay." Hitomi agreed.

"Didn't I tell you two to not hide beneath the plants?" Someone above them said. "It disturbs the children and they are not toys; neither are you soldiers."

"That's what you think." Hitomi retorted. But Katie slapped her hand over her friend's mouth. Smiling up at the security guard who was looking down at them, she sweat-dropped.

"Yes sir." She said sheepishly. She then pulled Hitomi away and out from under the leaves of the plant that was in the reception area of N-G studios.

As Hitomi and Katie turned the corner, they froze. Their chance to use the watch had arrived! Yuki Eiri was standing in the hallway and was with Shindou Shuuichi. Katie and Hitomi could not hear what was being said, but they could tell that something good was going on because they were both smiling. When the two lovers then closed their eyes and slowly drew closer to each other, Hitomi and Katie panicked.

"QUICK!" Katie exclaimed. "Use it!"

"I know!" Hitomi said, stressed. She did not do well under pressure.

"If they kiss, Hiro and Shuu will NEVER be together!"

"I KNOW!" Hitomi whined. Just centimeters away from Shuuichi's face, Hitomi pushed the button and held Katie's hand when doing so ((A/N: They had to have physical contact or else the one not holding the watch-- Katie-- would become part of the 'slow motion' world like everyone else)). Yuki and Shuuichi were frozen.

"Phew!" Katie said, relieved. She brushed her brow. "That was close."

"I know." Hitomi agreed, smiling. They took a few seconds to reconfigure themselves and then they moved on with their plan.

"C'mon. Let's get going on 'Operation Lover Switch'." Hitomi nodded her head in agreement. Katie and Hitomi went up to Shuuichi and Yuki and then seperated them.

"He's heavy." Hitomi grunted.

"I know." Katie grunted as well as they moved Yuki away. "But we have to do this."

----------------------------

Sometime later... When Operation complete...

----------------------------

Hitomi and Katie smiled in success. "Ready?" Hitomi asked Katie, looking over at her. Katie nodded, smiling.

"Ready."

"Go!" Together, Hitomi and Katie then pushed the 'reactivate normal time' button and saw the perfection.

"Heh, heh. Yuki."

Yuki's eyes shot open and he instantly jumped away. "Toh-- Tohma!?"

"Mm-hmmm." He smiled seductively.

"Where is Shuuichi!?"

"Who cares?" Tohma asked. "You kissed me. And, with tongue, I believe." Yuki's face turned red.

-----------------------

Scene change

-----------------------

"Hiro!" Shuuichi exclaimed. He had just broken away his kiss with Hiro. He was even more confused than Yuki was. "Wha-- what the hell just happened?!" With face flushed, Hiro mumbled,

"You... kissed me."

"I know!" Shuuichi was panicking, thinking he had gone out of his mind. "But why? HOW?" Hiro did not think on it. He just raised his hand to his lips and gently touched them; his lips which moments before had been connected with Shuuichi's. He was dazed as he watched his chaotic/spastic love.

Katie and Hitomi giggled. Turning to each other, they then smiled. "Congrats on a great coming together." Hitomi said.

"Right." Katie agreed, nodding her head once. "To Hiro and Shuuichi!" She raised her arm.

"And Tohma and Yuki!" Hitomi added, raising her arm as well.

"And to us!" They both said together. Hugging, they then walked away, getting ready to plan another way Shuuichi and Hiro could be together.

TBC.
