Ponta: Of course not! It was just a harmless joke!
Ryoma: Doesn't seem like it.
Ponta: ANYWAY! I apologized for the previous chapters if they seemed not to develop a plot. But I assured you, that there will be a plot and angst because I love angst except with deaths.

Momo: COME BACK HERE, YOU THEIF! : runs after Ponta:
Ryoma: ...............Here's Chapter 4.
The Right Guy
Chapter 4
Momo's POV
Is he gay or is he not gay? That is the question that constantly pesters me every minute ever since Eiji talked to me.
I looked at Echizen walking behind me.
Is Echizen gay or not? Not that I want to go out on date with him. I was just simply curious.
Sigh, actually, I really want to know but I couldn't bring up the question to Echizen.
Why?
Well, I believe it would be insulting to him. I mean isn't an insulting just to go out and say, "Hey, are you gay or not?"
... I don't think that's what made me stop from questioning him. I felt a quiver in my heart. Why is my heart shaking?
Could it be fear? Could it be that I'm afraid to ask him? What am I afraid of? It's not like that I like him a lot. It's ironic, that a person like me who admits he's gay to his family but couldn't ask some cute freshman if he's gay or not.
We finally reached the home ed. classroom where Taka-san should be. I opened the door and saw the brown-haired guy, who was alone, using the kitchen.
"Taka-san!" I called out for him.
Taka-san turned around and saw me. "Hey, Momoshiro." He greeted me.
We walked closer toward Taka-san and I saw that he was expertly making sushi. It was like him to make sushi since his father was the owner of the sushi bar.
"Slept late again?" Taka-san asked me, after noticing my messy look.
"Yeah," I replied and then questioned, "Taka-san, why are you making sushi at this time?"
"Oh, I'm just making a bento for someone." Taka-san answered.
"Oh......, someone special I presume?" I gave him a knowingly wink.
Taka-san blushed and admitted, "Yeah, it's for him, all right."
"So, who is the lucky guy?!" I asked, hoping that he would answer this time. I always asked at him at the unexpected moments since he wouldn't reveal who he is dating.
"Gomen! He told me not to tell you guys."
Oh well, better luck next time. I'm itching to know the guy who would ask the timid Taka-san out.
"Momo, is that the new roommate I heard from Eiji?" Taka-san noticed Echizen.
"This is Echizen Ryoma, my new roommate. And Echizen, this is Kawamura Takashi, the passionate powerhouse of the Seigaku." I introduced them to each other.
"The passionate powerhouse?" Echizen asked in a suspicious tone, probably wondering why the Regulars have nicknames.
"You don't have to rub it in, Momo. You're also the powerhouse player too." Taka-san said it modestly.
I smiled, "True!"
Echizen spoke to me teasingly, "That kind of player suited you, Momo- senpai."
I was offended by his taunting tone and scowled to him, "What does that supposed to mean?!"
Echizen smirked to me, "It means that you relied on brute force instead of using a brain."
"Hey, I did use my brain in a tennis match!" I said it angrily to him.
Taka-san patted my shoulder, "Calm down, Momo. I'm sure Echizen was just joking." Then he lent me a tray of his sushi, "Here, why don't you try my sushi?"
"Okay, don't mind I do. Itadakimasu! I took one and dumped it in my mouth. Taka-san also offered to Echizen and he also took one too.
"So, what do you think?" Taka-san asked us.
"It's delicious, Taka-san! No problem." I chewed on the raw fish but suddenly an intense flavor was rushing through my mouth. I yelled, "AHHHHHHH! TAKA-SAN! TOO MUCH WASABI!" I fanned my breath as I searched for something cool.
Echizen was also suffering from the wasabi but kept his cool composure. He asked Taka-san, "Water, please, sempai."
Few minutes later, Echizen and I were drinking a glass of icy cold water to tame the spicy aftertaste from the wasabi. Taka-san was apologizing to us, "Gomen, I was trying to make a perfect meal, so I got nervous and made a clumsy mistake. Gomen again."
I sighed and then said, "Taka-san, you need to be more Takashi like."
"More Takashi like?" Taka-san asked me with bewilderment.
I noticed Taka-san's yellow racket poking out of his sports bag. I grabbed it and throw it to him, "Here!"
Taka-san caught his racket and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"BURNING!!!" Taka-san roared as a passionate fire was burning in his eyes, "COME ON BABY!!!" He rapidly created a new batch of sushi.
Echizen sweat dropped and asked me, "Momo-senpai, does he has split personalities?"
I laughed at Echizen's question, "You could say that. Once Taka-san touched the racket, he became really passionate."
After couple of minutes, we finally get to ask Taka-san about Buchou. Unfortunately for us, Taka-san also didn't know where Buchou is but he told us that Inui might know where he is. Thus, we headed to the labs where Taka- san said Inui would be.
As we walked, Echizen sighed out of disappointment, "How can they not know where Buchou is?"
I replied, "Well, we'll find him anyway. At least you get to meet the regulars and we get some free sushi. Taka-san's new batch was even more delicious!" I threw a sushi directly to my mouth.
Echizen looked at me oddly, "Momo-senpai, you're the one who took the most sushi from Kawamura-senpai."
"I have to! I was hungry!" I said it in my defense.
"It's going to be almost lunch anyway." Said Echizen coldly.
"Well, its morning snacks!" I retorted.
"Five trays are a morning snacks?" Echizen asked with annoyance.
I was holding five trays of sushi, but hey I was really hungry!
"Let's .... Just... go... find ... Inui." I was talking while I'm eating many sushis at once.
A while later, I was done with my morning snacks. But I was still hungry! I hope we find Buchou soon, so we can go out for lunch.
As we continued to walk to the science labs, Echizen asked me, "What kind of regular is Inui-senpai?"
I answered, "Well, Inui-senpai is the tallest person of the team and his skills is Data Tennis."
"Data tennis?" Echizen asked.
"He played tennis, using his data of his opponents to win. His data collecting skills are top-notch and plus it's creepy, especially when he can find all the personal information you have." I explained.
Inui already knew I'm gay before I even get to meet him. I always wonder how does he do that but he offered to tell me if I can drink his Inui Juice, which I will never do in my entire life.
I continued on, "But the worst part about Inui is his homemade Inui Juice. Now that's just nasty!"
"Inui Juice?" Echizen asked me with curiosity.
"You don't want to know." I replied.
We reached the science lab, where I sighted a tall man with spiked hair, Inui-senpai. He took notice of us, first and said, "Momoshiro, what are you doing here?"
I answered, "We came here to see if you know where Buchou is."
"Buchou? Gomen, my data doesn't have the current location of Buchou. You should ask Fuji. He's in the library." Said Inui-senpai.
SIGH! Another regular that doesn't know where Buchou is. This is madness, going on a wild goose chase just to find Buchou for the brat.
Inui pulled up his glasses and took out that creepy green notebook of his. He analyzed me, "Momoshiro, this is the third you woke up late this week. I assumed that this is the third alarm clock you broke this morning."
"...How do you know about my clock, Inui-senpai?" I asked him.
Inui looked further into his notebook, "You left practice early two times this week to buy a new clock. If you continued to sleep and wake up late, I will have to give you the Inui Juice." His glasses blinked at the mention of Inui Juice.
I shuddered at his threat and laughed nervously. I changed the subject by introducing Echizen, "Inui-senpai, this is ..." I was interrupted.
Inui once again looked at his notebook, "Ryoma Echizen, 15 years old. Planning to join the tennis club this year. Born in December 24th. Blood type: O. He used to live with his parents and an older female cousin."
I was surprised by Inui-senpai's data of Echizen. Inui-senpai hasn't even met him and he knows about Echizen more than me!
Then I noticed Echizen was looking down at the floor, his fists were clenched and shaking.
Why Echizen is so mad now? Does Inui say something that upset him?
I looked at Echizen with concern but he stopped shaking and looked at me, "What is it, Momo-senpai?"
I didn't want to show that I was worried for him.
I just smirked, "Surprised that Inui-senpai already knew that much about you?"
"Not really, I didn't care." He said it so coolly. That is like Echizen, act like nothing affected him.
Inui-senpai continued on, "You also have a cat named Karupin. You were born in America and lived there for 12 years before you moved back to Japan. In America, you have won four years of national tennis championships."
I was surprised, "EH! Echizen, how come you never told me you won championships in America!?" I shouted to him.
"You never ask." He replied to me.
Wow, he won American championships. He must be really good. No wonder Grandma Coach made an offer to him.
"That is all the information I currently have on him." Said Inui-senpai, "I wish to collect data on Echizen's playing style."
"We're just leaving now. We need to find Buchou, right Echizen?" I asked.
"Hai." Echizen responded.
Suddenly my stomach growled and I laughed nervously, "I hope we find Buchou soon, so we can have lunch!"
Echizen was probably surprised by my tremendous appetite, "Momo-senpai, didn't you just have sushi a moment ago?"
"I'm still hungry!" I complained to Echizen.
Echizen sighed and shrugged.
"Well, if you're still hungry, you can have the Inui juice." Inui smiled wickedly as he offered me a glass of acidic purple bubbling liquid.
"NO THANK YOU!" I shouted and ran out of the classroom, dragging Echizen with me.
I ran and ran until I was far from Inui-senpai. I'll never drink those juices even if my life depends on it.
Then I heard some coughing. I looked at Echizen and realized that I was holding his hand when I ran away.
I was about to withdraw but I didn't want to. There was that warmth again. That same warmth that I want to feel again. Why is that I felt that warmth when I touched Echizen? How come I never felt that warm feeling when I held some other people's hands? What make Echizen so special?
"Momo-senpai?"
Echizen is just a cold annoying brat. He always teased me even though we just met. But this warm feeling, I felt like I'm complete.
"MOMO-SENPAI!" Echizen yelled out my name.
"What?!" I shouted back and then realized that I was still holding his hand. I also noticed that we attracting looks from students walking by.
I withdraw my hand away and turned my back toward him. I didn't want him to see me blushing. Why am I blushing again? Great, Echizen would probably think I'm weird now. I'll just pretend nothing has happened like Echizen did.
I muttered, "Let's go see Fuji-senpai." I walked ahead of him.
I saw that Echizen followed me close by. I looked at my hand and still felt that warmth.
Why? Why is this happening to me?
We reached the library and the tension between us disappeared. I saw Fuji reading a novel from the horror section.
I whispered to Echizen, "Watch out for Fuji-senpai, he's a tensai."
Echizen asked, "Tensai?"
I explained, "Fuji-senpai has a sadistic sense of humor and love to play tricks on others. Using mind games and everything. In tennis, he was a really good player with all the powerful techniques he used. He was known as the prodigy of Seigaku. But deep inside, he's really a creepy person."
But Echizen wasn't really listening to me. The only thing I think he heard was the prodigy of Seigaku. Echizen muttered, "The prodigy, huh? I would like to play against him."
Sigh, why does Echizen wanted to play against strong players? He's not even interested in playing against me. I'm a strong player too.
We walked up to Fuji and I greeted him. He greeted me back with his wicked smile, "Hello, Momoshiro. Is that your roommate?" He looked at the freshman with interest.
"Yeah this is Echizen Ryoma." I introduced him to Fuji and then told him about Grandma Coach's proposal.
Fuji looked at Echizen and asked, "So, you are planning to be the regular? Is your skills good enough?"
Echizen replied back with the infamous cold glare and at the same time, Fuji opened his eyes, revealing his sky blue eyes. They stared at each other for awhile.
I'm not sure what's really happening here but I'm getting jealous that Fuji was receiving attention from Echizen.
... I got jealous again. What is up with me? I blushed and got jealous just for that cold brat. What is wrong with me?
Fuji closed his eyes and grinned, "I do hope we have a good match, Echizen." Echizen just smirked in response.
Okay, what just happened there?
Fuji looked at me and asked, "Have a rough night?"
I'm getting annoyed with this. I should have gone back to the dorm and cleaned myself.
"Yeah." Was my automatic reply. But there's something wrong. I have a feeling that Fuji is going to tease me today.
Fuji put his finger on his cheek and pondered while staring at me.
He spoke, "From the look of your wrinkled clothes and your messy hair, did you slept with someone last night?" He grinned evil.
I blushed madly out of an embarrassment and yelled, "Fuji-senpai! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!"
Fuji just snickered, "You don't need to deny it so strongly. It is natural for boys this age to have a strong 'desire'."
I blushed even more and then noticed Echizen has a small blush across his cheeks, believing Fuji's lie.
Echizen noticed my stare and walked out of the library, leaving me alone with Fuji.
I scowled at Fuji, "Look what you have done!"
Fuji teased, "You should go after your boyfriend."
I retorted, "He's not my boyfriend!" Then I ran after Echizen.
Somehow I swore I heard Fuji said, "Really." But that doesn't really matter now. I have to find Echizen and tell him it was just Fuji's lie. I don't want him to think of me as a slut.
Not that I care about the brat's opinion.
I found Echizen down the hallway and yelled, "Hey, wait! Why do you leave me alone?" I caught up to him.
Echizen said it with an icy tone, "I'm just leaving you with sempai, so that you can have your sex discussion."
I blushed as he mentioned sex and then realized that Echizen left me again.
Geez, why is Echizen had to be so cold? Could it be that he's jealous?
I shouted at Echizen, "Fuji-senpai was just playing around! Echizen?!"
He continued to walk further down. I was getting upset and yelled, "I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH ANYONE LAST NIGHT!"
People walking by gave me strange stares and I was blushing madly out of embarrassment. I rubbed the back of my hair and laughed it off. I ran away from those uncomfortable stares.
Why did Fuji-senpai have to ruin everything? I was so embarrassed.
I finally found Echizen and I was about to caught up to him. But Echizen bumped into some guy.
The guy hissed and then yelled, "Watch where you're going brat!"
I recognized that hiss from anywhere.
Oh crap, why do Echizen have to bump to the last person I wanted to meet?
TBC

The Right Guy
Chapter 4
Momo's POV
Is he gay or is he not gay? That is the question that constantly pesters me every minute ever since Eiji talked to me.
I looked at Echizen walking behind me.
Is Echizen gay or not? Not that I want to go out on date with him. I was just simply curious.

We finally reached the home ed. classroom where Taka-san should be. I opened the door and saw the brown-haired guy, who was alone, using the kitchen.
"Taka-san!" I called out for him.
Taka-san turned around and saw me. "Hey, Momoshiro." He greeted me.

"Gomen! He told me not to tell you guys."
Oh well, better luck next time. I'm itching to know the guy who would ask the timid Taka-san out.
"Momo, is that the new roommate I heard from Eiji?" Taka-san noticed Echizen.
"This is Echizen Ryoma, my new roommate. And Echizen, this is Kawamura Takashi, the passionate powerhouse of the Seigaku." I introduced them to each other.
"The passionate powerhouse?" Echizen asked in a suspicious tone, probably wondering why the Regulars have nicknames.
"You don't have to rub it in, Momo. You're also the powerhouse player too." Taka-san said it modestly.
I smiled, "True!"

"So, what do you think?" Taka-san asked us.
"It's delicious, Taka-san! No problem." I chewed on the raw fish but suddenly an intense flavor was rushing through my mouth. I yelled, "AHHHHHHH! TAKA-SAN! TOO MUCH WASABI!" I fanned my breath as I searched for something cool.
Echizen was also suffering from the wasabi but kept his cool composure. He asked Taka-san, "Water, please, sempai."
Few minutes later, Echizen and I were drinking a glass of icy cold water to tame the spicy aftertaste from the wasabi. Taka-san was apologizing to us, "Gomen, I was trying to make a perfect meal, so I got nervous and made a clumsy mistake. Gomen again."
I sighed and then said, "Taka-san, you need to be more Takashi like."
"More Takashi like?" Taka-san asked me with bewilderment.
I noticed Taka-san's yellow racket poking out of his sports bag. I grabbed it and throw it to him, "Here!"
Taka-san caught his racket and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
"BURNING!!!" Taka-san roared as a passionate fire was burning in his eyes, "COME ON BABY!!!" He rapidly created a new batch of sushi.
Echizen sweat dropped and asked me, "Momo-senpai, does he has split personalities?"
I laughed at Echizen's question, "You could say that. Once Taka-san touched the racket, he became really passionate."
After couple of minutes, we finally get to ask Taka-san about Buchou. Unfortunately for us, Taka-san also didn't know where Buchou is but he told us that Inui might know where he is. Thus, we headed to the labs where Taka- san said Inui would be.
As we walked, Echizen sighed out of disappointment, "How can they not know where Buchou is?"

Echizen looked at me oddly, "Momo-senpai, you're the one who took the most sushi from Kawamura-senpai."
"I have to! I was hungry!" I said it in my defense.
"It's going to be almost lunch anyway." Said Echizen coldly.
"Well, its morning snacks!" I retorted.
"Five trays are a morning snacks?" Echizen asked with annoyance.
I was holding five trays of sushi, but hey I was really hungry!
"Let's .... Just... go... find ... Inui." I was talking while I'm eating many sushis at once.
A while later, I was done with my morning snacks. But I was still hungry! I hope we find Buchou soon, so we can go out for lunch.
As we continued to walk to the science labs, Echizen asked me, "What kind of regular is Inui-senpai?"
I answered, "Well, Inui-senpai is the tallest person of the team and his skills is Data Tennis."
"Data tennis?" Echizen asked.
"He played tennis, using his data of his opponents to win. His data collecting skills are top-notch and plus it's creepy, especially when he can find all the personal information you have." I explained.
Inui already knew I'm gay before I even get to meet him. I always wonder how does he do that but he offered to tell me if I can drink his Inui Juice, which I will never do in my entire life.
I continued on, "But the worst part about Inui is his homemade Inui Juice. Now that's just nasty!"
"Inui Juice?" Echizen asked me with curiosity.
"You don't want to know." I replied.
We reached the science lab, where I sighted a tall man with spiked hair, Inui-senpai. He took notice of us, first and said, "Momoshiro, what are you doing here?"
I answered, "We came here to see if you know where Buchou is."
"Buchou? Gomen, my data doesn't have the current location of Buchou. You should ask Fuji. He's in the library." Said Inui-senpai.
SIGH! Another regular that doesn't know where Buchou is. This is madness, going on a wild goose chase just to find Buchou for the brat.
Inui pulled up his glasses and took out that creepy green notebook of his. He analyzed me, "Momoshiro, this is the third you woke up late this week. I assumed that this is the third alarm clock you broke this morning."

I shuddered at his threat and laughed nervously. I changed the subject by introducing Echizen, "Inui-senpai, this is ..." I was interrupted.
Inui once again looked at his notebook, "Ryoma Echizen, 15 years old. Planning to join the tennis club this year. Born in December 24th. Blood type: O. He used to live with his parents and an older female cousin."
I was surprised by Inui-senpai's data of Echizen. Inui-senpai hasn't even met him and he knows about Echizen more than me!
Then I noticed Echizen was looking down at the floor, his fists were clenched and shaking.
Why Echizen is so mad now? Does Inui say something that upset him?
I looked at Echizen with concern but he stopped shaking and looked at me, "What is it, Momo-senpai?"
I didn't want to show that I was worried for him.
I just smirked, "Surprised that Inui-senpai already knew that much about you?"
"Not really, I didn't care." He said it so coolly. That is like Echizen, act like nothing affected him.
Inui-senpai continued on, "You also have a cat named Karupin. You were born in America and lived there for 12 years before you moved back to Japan. In America, you have won four years of national tennis championships."
I was surprised, "EH! Echizen, how come you never told me you won championships in America!?" I shouted to him.
"You never ask." He replied to me.
Wow, he won American championships. He must be really good. No wonder Grandma Coach made an offer to him.
"That is all the information I currently have on him." Said Inui-senpai, "I wish to collect data on Echizen's playing style."
"We're just leaving now. We need to find Buchou, right Echizen?" I asked.
"Hai." Echizen responded.
Suddenly my stomach growled and I laughed nervously, "I hope we find Buchou soon, so we can have lunch!"
Echizen was probably surprised by my tremendous appetite, "Momo-senpai, didn't you just have sushi a moment ago?"
"I'm still hungry!" I complained to Echizen.
Echizen sighed and shrugged.
"Well, if you're still hungry, you can have the Inui juice." Inui smiled wickedly as he offered me a glass of acidic purple bubbling liquid.
"NO THANK YOU!" I shouted and ran out of the classroom, dragging Echizen with me.
I ran and ran until I was far from Inui-senpai. I'll never drink those juices even if my life depends on it.
Then I heard some coughing. I looked at Echizen and realized that I was holding his hand when I ran away.
I was about to withdraw but I didn't want to. There was that warmth again. That same warmth that I want to feel again. Why is that I felt that warmth when I touched Echizen? How come I never felt that warm feeling when I held some other people's hands? What make Echizen so special?
"Momo-senpai?"
Echizen is just a cold annoying brat. He always teased me even though we just met. But this warm feeling, I felt like I'm complete.
"MOMO-SENPAI!" Echizen yelled out my name.
"What?!" I shouted back and then realized that I was still holding his hand. I also noticed that we attracting looks from students walking by.
I withdraw my hand away and turned my back toward him. I didn't want him to see me blushing. Why am I blushing again? Great, Echizen would probably think I'm weird now. I'll just pretend nothing has happened like Echizen did.
I muttered, "Let's go see Fuji-senpai." I walked ahead of him.
I saw that Echizen followed me close by. I looked at my hand and still felt that warmth.
Why? Why is this happening to me?
We reached the library and the tension between us disappeared. I saw Fuji reading a novel from the horror section.
I whispered to Echizen, "Watch out for Fuji-senpai, he's a tensai."
Echizen asked, "Tensai?"
I explained, "Fuji-senpai has a sadistic sense of humor and love to play tricks on others. Using mind games and everything. In tennis, he was a really good player with all the powerful techniques he used. He was known as the prodigy of Seigaku. But deep inside, he's really a creepy person."
But Echizen wasn't really listening to me. The only thing I think he heard was the prodigy of Seigaku. Echizen muttered, "The prodigy, huh? I would like to play against him."
Sigh, why does Echizen wanted to play against strong players? He's not even interested in playing against me. I'm a strong player too.
We walked up to Fuji and I greeted him. He greeted me back with his wicked smile, "Hello, Momoshiro. Is that your roommate?" He looked at the freshman with interest.
"Yeah this is Echizen Ryoma." I introduced him to Fuji and then told him about Grandma Coach's proposal.
Fuji looked at Echizen and asked, "So, you are planning to be the regular? Is your skills good enough?"
Echizen replied back with the infamous cold glare and at the same time, Fuji opened his eyes, revealing his sky blue eyes. They stared at each other for awhile.
I'm not sure what's really happening here but I'm getting jealous that Fuji was receiving attention from Echizen.
... I got jealous again. What is up with me? I blushed and got jealous just for that cold brat. What is wrong with me?
Fuji closed his eyes and grinned, "I do hope we have a good match, Echizen." Echizen just smirked in response.
Okay, what just happened there?
Fuji looked at me and asked, "Have a rough night?"
I'm getting annoyed with this. I should have gone back to the dorm and cleaned myself.
"Yeah." Was my automatic reply. But there's something wrong. I have a feeling that Fuji is going to tease me today.
Fuji put his finger on his cheek and pondered while staring at me.
He spoke, "From the look of your wrinkled clothes and your messy hair, did you slept with someone last night?" He grinned evil.
I blushed madly out of an embarrassment and yelled, "Fuji-senpai! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!"
Fuji just snickered, "You don't need to deny it so strongly. It is natural for boys this age to have a strong 'desire'."
I blushed even more and then noticed Echizen has a small blush across his cheeks, believing Fuji's lie.
Echizen noticed my stare and walked out of the library, leaving me alone with Fuji.
I scowled at Fuji, "Look what you have done!"
Fuji teased, "You should go after your boyfriend."
I retorted, "He's not my boyfriend!" Then I ran after Echizen.
Somehow I swore I heard Fuji said, "Really." But that doesn't really matter now. I have to find Echizen and tell him it was just Fuji's lie. I don't want him to think of me as a slut.
Not that I care about the brat's opinion.
I found Echizen down the hallway and yelled, "Hey, wait! Why do you leave me alone?" I caught up to him.
Echizen said it with an icy tone, "I'm just leaving you with sempai, so that you can have your sex discussion."
I blushed as he mentioned sex and then realized that Echizen left me again.
Geez, why is Echizen had to be so cold? Could it be that he's jealous?
I shouted at Echizen, "Fuji-senpai was just playing around! Echizen?!"
He continued to walk further down. I was getting upset and yelled, "I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH ANYONE LAST NIGHT!"
People walking by gave me strange stares and I was blushing madly out of embarrassment. I rubbed the back of my hair and laughed it off. I ran away from those uncomfortable stares.
Why did Fuji-senpai have to ruin everything? I was so embarrassed.
I finally found Echizen and I was about to caught up to him. But Echizen bumped into some guy.
The guy hissed and then yelled, "Watch where you're going brat!"
I recognized that hiss from anywhere.
Oh crap, why do Echizen have to bump to the last person I wanted to meet?
