Hanamichi was driving the car to return to the Rukawa's mansion.
Kaede and Riko were both at the back seat. Kaede was asleep while Riko was listening in the rock music played in the stereo.
The angry rain was pouring down the street and with the dark clouds above, Hanamichi couldn't see the road that much.
Suddenly, Hanamichi hauled the car and Riko turned impatient.
"What?" Riko muttered.
"There's a flood... look..."
Riko looked and was surprised to see the great flood. Several cars were stranded in the side because even a big bus was almost half-hidden by the water.
"Shit! I have to be home by eleven. My girlfriend is waiting for me." Riko cursed.
"Unless you can fly..." Hanamichi uttered that made Riko more mad than ever.
"Men can't fly, do'aho!"
"We have no choice but to stay here until the flood is gone."
"Shit!"
Some minutes had passed. Hanamichi and Riko started to get bored while Kaede remained sleeping... unconscious to what was happening.
"I know I place where we can reside for the night." Riko suggested.
"Where?" Hanamichi queried with a cute innocent face.
"Just drive, do'aho."
"Don't call me do'aho."
The both of them had a battle of eyes and Riko was the one who surrendered first. He hopped off the car and opened the door of the driver's seat. "Go out!"
"No!"
"You go to the backseat because I know the place more than you!" Riko tug Hanamichi outside the car and sat on the driver's seat.
Hanamichi had no choice but to stay at the backseat or Riko would leave him under the rain.
Riko drove the car in full speed... against the hard pouring of the rain.
Hanamichi perched beside Kaede... making sure that they have a half-a-meter gap from each other.
"Foxes make me itch." Hanamchi said... addressing that to Riko and Kaede.
Suddenly, due to Riko's imprudent driving, Kaede's head fell on Hanamichi's lap. Like in bull's eye, it hit Hanamichi's very essence and the latter quirked from the sudden tickle.
"WAAAHHHHH!" Hanamichi jumped from his seat and shocked Riko.
"What?" Riko violently reacted.
"Shit!" Hanamichi looked at Kaede's head who returned to its initial position: leaning on the window.
"Do'aho, if you don't keep quiet, I will pull you out of this car."
Hanamichi hated the way Riko treated. He has no right at all. So like a rebel kid, he unlocked the door and planed to leave.
When Hanamichi was about to push the door to open, it suddenly locked. He looked Riko who seemed to know nothing and then at Kaede whose eyes were all open and hidden a little in the dim light.
"You'll go nowhere, do'aho." Kaede uttered.
