Eevee: Konichiwa minna-san. This is the Izuichi chapter that all of you had been waiting for.

Izumi & Kouichi: *blush*

Kouji, Takuya, Tomoki & JunPei: Sigh. *leaves the room*

Eevee: Hei! Where are you people going?

Kouji: Home.

Takuya: We have got nothing to do in this chapter.

JunPei & Tomoki: Yeah.

Eevee: Who say you don't. *Look at script*

After a while.

Eevee: Takuya. you are going with Kira.
JunPei. you are going to chase after Izumi.
Kouji. you will catch Izumi when she's falling.

Tomoki: And me?

Eevee: You don't have a role.

Tomoki: *cries*

Eevee: SHUT UP! Now on with the story!

Chapter 5 - The dance Izumi was in her room, choosing the perfect outfit to wear for tonight's dance. The thought of going with her best friend, Kouichi made her really excited and she forgot all about Kouji.

'I never felt this excited when Satsuke asked me last year,' She thought.

It took her a whole hour to decide on which dress to wear.

"Kouichi's gonna pick me up at 6. I'd better hurry," Izumi mumbled, looking at the clock. It was 5.15.

She took a shower. The water was really cold as it was coming to winter.

After getting ready, Izumi looked at herself. She couldn't believe it was Izumi Orimoto she was looking at.

"I look great! At least... that's what I thought," Izumi smiled, imagining the expression that Kouichi will have when he saw her.

Izumi was considering putting on some make-up.

'I don't know, you were so vain.' Said a voice.

"Shut up!" Izumi said, "I have to look presentable for Kouichi."

She took her mom's lipstick and almost used it when she heard the doorbell rang.

"I better go down and meet him," Izumi grabbed her jacket and rushed down to greet Kouichi.

"Mom, I'm going now," Izumi waved to her mother.

"Have a fun time, both of you. Be back before 11!" Her mother shouted.

"Let's go Kouichi!" Izumi said and grabbed Kouichi's hand.

"Hey, what's the..." as he stared at her dress and gaped.

"What's with that look?" Izumi smirked, "Too beautiful for you?"

Kouichi immediately turn deep red, "Yeah sorta," he admitted shyly. Izumi also blushed slightly at his compliment.

They walked the rest of their journey in silent before Takuya showed up and smacked Izumi's back.

Izumi yelped and punched him on his face. However, Takuya was fast, he dodged and grinned at her, "You look pretty in that dress," Takuya said innocently.

"Ogling at me, Kanbara?" Izumi smirked.

"Why should I?" Takuya asked.

"Cause I am too prettier for you," Izumi smirked again.

"Quite true, but I am not ogling at you. Kouichi is," Takuya pointed at Kouichi.

Kouichi blushed and turned away.

"Where's Kira?" Izumi asked blushing, although she pretended not to notice.

"I promised to meet her there," Takuya said and started walking, together with Kouichi and Izumi.

Takuya did most of the talking while Kouichi and Izumi only murmured "Emms..." and "Yeahs..."

A few times, Izumi took a quick glance at Kouichi and turned back immediately, 'He looks so cute,' she thought with a giggle.

"Boo!" Takuya shouted right in front of Izumi.

Izumi snapped out of her thought, she almost fell down when Kouichi caught her. "What's that for?" She snapped.

"You are giggling a minute ago and you are angry now," Takuya said, "Weirdo."

"You're the weirdo!" Izumi shouted as she blushed furiously.

"Ok whatever!" Takuya said winking at Kouichi, "I'll meet you there!"

"Wait... Takuya!" Izumi shouted but Takuya had already disappeared.

"Izumi!" Somebody shouted.

"Not him again," Izumi groaned and grabbed Kouichi's arms and started running.

"What... What the..." Kouichi asked, "What are we running from?"

"Him!" Izumi said while gasping for breath.

"Him? Who?" Kouichi asked.

"Izumi, my love!" The voice shouted again.

Kouichi grinned. "JunPei," he muttered under his breath.

"Izumi, my dear! Wait for me!" JunPei shouted.

"Can't... he... stop... following... me?" Izumi panted.

"I don't think he will," Kouichi said. He was not tired at all. Of course, he's in the basketball team.

"Izumi!" JunPei shouted again.

"STOP IT!" Izumi shouted as she ran faster but tripped because of her dress.

However, before she could hit the ground, somebody grabbed her waist. It was Kouji.

"Izumi, are you all right?" Kouichi asked, "Oh, hi Kouji! Are you going to the dance as well?"

Without a slight response, Kouji walked away.

"He's weird," Kouichi said, staring at Kouji's walking figure.

"We'll talk about it later, hurry up before JunPei catches up!" Izumi said, dragging Kouichi behind her.

*** Dance hall

"I don't think he'll find us here. It's too crowded," Kouichi said.

"Hope so." Izumi panted and they walked to the nearest table and saw Takuya waving at them. Kira was right beside him.

"Hi guys, both of you are sweating all over!" Takuya said, "Been chased by a dog?"

"At least being chased by a dog is much better," Izumi commented, "I've been chased by my nightmare."

Takuya choked on his drink.

"That's not funny!" Izumi said, catching her breath.

"Izumi!" JunPei shouted, "Where are you my love?"

"Oh no, here he comes!" Izumi sighed, " Gotta run. Cya guys later,"

"Bye bye," Takuya grinned as Izumi started running with difficulty because of her dress.

"Takuya, wanna dance?" Kira asked.

"Ok.." Takuya said, "But can I wait for Izumi for a while? Need to tell her something."

"I don't think Izumi will be back so soon... You two go ahead, I'll look for her," Kouichi offered.

"All right... Let's go Kira," Takuya held out his hand and Kira took it.

*** Izumi & JunPei

"Please stop chasing after me!" Izumi shouted.

"But... you're the one running away!" JunPei argued.

Izumi ran as fast as her leg could carry her until she found a closet and hid in it.

She waited until she could hear JunPei's voice no more before coming out.

However, before she can do that, a person had opened the door. "IZUMI DEAR!"

"JUNPEI???" Izumi shouted and ducked past him.

"ARH!" Izumi shouted as she took out her mallet and hit JunPei on the head.

"Wow... She must love me very much..." JunPei said before dropping to the ground. (A/N In Chinese there's a phrase da shi qing, ma shi ai which means hitting and scolding somebody means you love that person)

"Should have done that earlier," Izumi mumbled.

"Izumi, there you are!" Kouichi said.

"Oh Kouichi! Do you bring your cell phone?" Izumi asked.

Kouichi gave her his cell phone and Izumi snatched it away and immediately dialed her 'emergency' number.

Receiver: Hallo

Izumi: Hallo, JunPei's mom?

Receiver: Yes, speaking.

Izumi: Izumi Orimoto here.

Receiver: Oh hi, Izumi!

Izumi: Your son, JunPei is here right now.

Receiver: What? That son of mine had skipped doing housework again. Where is he now?

Izumi: In abc dancehall, 2nd floor, room C. (A/N Emm. I make up the place. Don't laugh.)

Receiver: Thanks, I'll be right there!

*** End of call

"That's settled! Let's go Kouichi!" Izumi exclaimed, dragging Kouichi behind her, "JunPei will be all right!"

*** Dancehall

"You're back!" Takuya grinned, "If both of you are going to dance make it fast, this is the last song already. Geez. Both of you are really slow. It's already 2h!"

"What the..." Izumi said, looking shocked, "Let's dance Kouichi! It's now or never"

"All right..." Kouichi sighed, 'I hate dancing!'

As Kouichi didn't want anybody especially Takuya to see him dancing, he dragged Izumi to the balcony.

"Why here?" Izumi asked.

"It's more romantic," Kouichi winked. He placed a hand around Izumi waist and started dancing with her.

"Wow... Kouichi, I dunno you can dance," Izumi said, looking at Kouichi's deep blue eyes (white dragon?), "Well... who doesn't?"

"People like JunPei?" Kouichi joked and Izumi started giggling.

"You know Kouichi... I feel so happy today," Izumi said as she closed her eyes and tip- toed, getting closer to Kouichi's face inch by inch. Kouichi blushed but he closed his eyes as well, tightening his grip on Izumi's waist. He could hear her breathing now...

"Hey guys! There you are!" The door to the balcony suddenly opened and Takuya walked in with Kira, Izumi and Kouichi immediately pulled away, both blushing deeply.

"I... Oops! Sorry... please ignore me and continue," Takuya grinned and closed the door again.

Both Kouichi and Izumi started giggling as they heard Kira complaints. Both of them smiled as they looked into each other's eyes.

The moon shone over the dance hall, revealing a couple kissing softly under the moonlight as the musicians played the coda.
