This is chapter 6 everyone. Sorry for the long wait, but my computer conked out on me, and I had to go repair it. But in the meantime, I'm using my old monitor, and it's so huge that it fills out almost the entire table which is supposed to hold both the computer AND the keyboard. The keyboard is on my lap at the moment. Although I look REALLY REALLY stupid at the moment, I'll just live with it. Reviews spur me on, so thank you all of you. Okay, so enough blabbing. Here's chapter 6. Enjoy. The showdown of Ran and Shiho begins.

CHAPTER 6

Shiho's facial expression changed from shock to amusement then finally ending with the usual smirk of hers. Sanshriyuki blinked in surprise. It was simply amazing that she was able to change her emotions so many times in just less than a few seconds flat. Shiho uncrossed her legs.

" Thank you." She said, bowing.

Silence.

His eyes widened.

" And. . .?" he prompted on, hopeful.

" . . .Thank you very much?" she finished, dashing away his hopes, the small smile on his lips slowly sliding off his face. Shiho, feeling a tiny ounce of sympathy got to her feet and patted him on the shoulder, and he looked up at her in surprise. " I'm honoured that you have a crush on me. But as I have no current interests in you, or any other students inside the school."

He winced.

She certainly was a woman who cut to the core of her words.

He looked away, blushing.

" But I love you, Miss Miyano."

A bitter smile spread across her face.

" Sorry." She replied.

There was an utter dull silence for the next few seconds, expect for the dull whirr of the fan blades.

" Miss Miyano. . ." he started, but was cut short at the sound of the sliding door opening, and both their heads whipped over to face the sound of the noise, and there stood Kudo Shinichi. Sanshriyuki's eyes widened as his eyes slowly moved from Shinichi to Shiho.

" . . .What's Kudo doing here?" he asked, trying his best to sound neutral.

" Remedial classes." The both of them, top-notch liars, said without a trace of hesitation. Sanshriyuki looked at Shinichi, then Shiho many times before clenching his teeth. It was remarkable how the two of them said it so plainly, yet seemed so fake at the exact same time.

He grabbed his bag, and walked towards Shinichi's direction.

" Goodbye, Miss Miyano." He muttered.

" Goodbye." She said.

Sanshriyuki glared at Shinichi for a second before shutting the door behind him. Shinichi frowned at the door, which now currently held the gap between him at Sanshriyuki. His head turned and looked at Shiho with raised eyebrows. " It's nothing." She said in an offhand sort of way. " Now lock the door, we don't want anybody walking in during class, don't we?"

He blushed and snapped the lock shut.

It seemed like an awfully naughty thing to do at the moment.

" Alright then," she said briskly, that calm and crisp voice she always used in the regular classroom. " You told me your. . .faults, and here I am to help you correct them. You first said that you were not good at looking or DOING. . .the languages of seduction?" There was not a quaver of nervousness in her voice, but Shinichi was almost fainting with embarrassment and nervousness.

She smirked.

" That's nothing to be shy about." She said, and he just blushed harder. She walked closer to him; so close that their noses were just inches apart, and closed in on him, pressing her lips on his ear, nibbling on it. He groaned out loud, and she stepped away, grinning.

" Well, you really ARE bad at it."

His face reddened.

" It's just because you had so much experience with it."

She raised her eyebrows.

" What are you talking about?" she asked. " This is my first time too."

He almost smashed his head into the wall behind him in shock.

" No WAY!" he gasped. " How the Hell did you get so. . .GOOD?"

She blinked.

" Good?" she asked.

His face just reddened, if possible, even more. He didn't want to tell her this, but he wasn't one who got so heavy near girls. Sure he was well-liked, but the only girl he was usually with was Ran, likewise by Sonoko, and none of them were able to make him feel this way before.

Plus, the way she moved around, she acted like a minx.

" Never mind." He muttered.

But she was looking thoughtful. " I guess it's like Science." She said carefully. " You just have to think of the reactions and actions, and move by the way you want to do. Plus, I studied the human body from a young age, and it's grown to be quite useful in a short way."

She said this peacefully.

Not to mention, fast.

" So. . ." he said slowly. " It's textbook?"

She nodded. " Well, shall we get on with it?"

He blinked.

" With what?"

" Well, to get you from squirming around, that's for one." She said, almost groaning at the spaced out expression on his face. " A girl wouldn't like it when she's kissing a guy and he's wriggling around like a plate of jello."

He would have laughed if he wasn't so squirmy around her, and just let out a sound like a tired bark. She raised her eyebrows.

Then she smiled.

" Relax." She said. " Just relax."

He managed to smile.

" Bingo." She said.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Sanshriyuki walked on the way home dejectedly, almost growling at a girl who said goodbye to him, but just nudged her out of the way and walked on. The girl smirked and walked up to him, stepping in his way. He looked up, glaring at her. " I'm not in a good mood," he said, straining his voice to sound calm. " I don't want to beat up a girl, so GET OUT OF MY WAY."

But it surprised him that she was still smiling.

" You got ditched by Miyano-sensei, didn't you?"

He blinked.

" Yeah." He said in amazement. " How did you know?"

" I know everything that's going around," she said impressively. " But the fact that I'm so keen in this one that I decided that I would help you out."

He scowled.

" I don't need your help." He said, brushing past her.

But Sonoko was still smirking as she watched him go.

" Do you know who I am?" she asked.

" No." He spat.

" Sonoko." She said, and he stopped.

He turned, the strangest and most un-cool expression on his face yet for many years to come. " YOU'RE Sonoko?" he asked.

" Yeah." She said, grinning.

" Sonoko the Destroyer?"

" That's the one."

" Sonoko the Break-Up artist?"

" Yep."

" Sonoko the. . .Cupid?"

She smirked.

" Apparently I'm known in the school now." She said.

His mouth opened and shut. Were the Heavens on his side too?

Then he stopped.

" Why are you helping me?"

She grinned. " Great question. Because I want Kudo Shinichi to end up with my friend, Ran Mouri. Whether the both of them like it or not. I will help you, and in the end of it, you will get Shiho and Shinichi will get Ran. Fair to you?"

She stretched out her hand.

He took it.

A final smile appeared on his lips.

" Okay." He said. " Let the games roll."

She smirked, once again. " Let the games roll."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Shiho was looking in a book.

Shinichi was rolling his eyes.

" Oh come on, Miss Miyano." He said.

She raised her eyebrows, and snapped the book shut, patting it on the table. " Hey, this is called research." She said. " It's better than a person who squirms and groans while he watches someone do research."

His mouth opened and shut.

" Darn," he muttered.

She smirked and walked up to him.

" Alright," she said. " Let's begin with something simple and straightforward."

He blinked.

" Such as?" he asked curiously.

" Kissing." She said in a matter-of-fact voice.

He almost hit his head against the wall once more.

" WHAT?" he spluttered.

She stepped back slightly at the noise.

" What?" she echoed, in a MUCH less loud voice. " We talked about it just now."

" I KNOW," he said, stuttering, losing his cool totally.

She put on a slightly hurt face.

" Not that I don't want to," he said quickly, and as her eyebrows rose, he finished. " But I don't dream crazily about it either,"

Her eyebrows rose higher.

" Not that I dream of it AT ALL!" he sputtered again. " But. . ."

" Whatever." She said. " I'm not fond of kissing students too, but I promised you, and thus I have to bring into agreements, am I not right?"

" Yeah." He said.

Then at that very second he looked at her, and she looked right back.

Something passed through this glance.

Something.

Something.

" Shin-chan, this is Shiho."

" All right then." Said Shiho, shaking herself faster than Shinichi did. Shinichi frowned. What was that? " If you would just stop shaking. . .yes. Stop shaking. I swear, dried leaves are tougher than you. Imagine that I'm Ran."

He blinked. That seemed simple enough.

" Alright." He said.

Her lips were just centimeters away from his, her eyes slowly shutting. His eyes widened as she edged closer, his hands unknowingly draping around her tight waist. This was it. He had gotten closer to her than anyone in the school had ever did. He bit his lip. Unknowing to himself, he had almost been looking forward to this like any other boy in the school. He gulped.

" Miss Miyano. . ." he started, but was stopped by the motion of her lips pressing against his. He stiffened, feeling her arms wrap around his neck, and slowly and slowly he got used to the feel of a girl's lips against his. His hands dropped down to just below her waist, lifting her shirt up slightly so he could feel her soft skin.

' She's so soft.' He marveled. ' How can someone who looks so hard be so soft?'

She whimpered against his lips.

No matter how experienced she seemed, this was the first time she had ever kissed someone. And just as she felt his tongue prodding against her lips, she gasped in shock, allowing his tongue to swoop inside. ' Who the Hell said that he was not good at this should be shot.' She thought, enjoying the kiss immensely. His left hand drew from her waist to her hair, threading his fingers through it. He pushed her against the wall, the table behind her moving slightly, the pencils dropping on the floor. He kissed her continuously, breathing into her, not ever wanting to let go of her. She whimpered, and moaned in his arms, grunts and groans escaping his lips as her sweet soft lips tasted against his. All he wanted to do to her was just carry her in his arms and kiss her until she didn't know what was what. But she was a teacher, after all. His senior.

His teacher.

He pulled away, leaving both of them breathless, panting for breath.

Silence.

" Well, you aren't BAD." She said, smirking, folding her arms.

But Shinichi just stood there.

Something happened there once more.

Her lips tasted familiar.

It was almost as if. . .

She raised her eyebrows.

" What?" she asked.

He shook his head. " Nothing." He mumbled.

" Well, that's it for today." She said, trying to get her heart beating to normal again. " I need to get back home for some sleep. Sakura told me there was something changed in the KING and QUEEN. Besides the prize, of course."

Shinichi raised his eyebrows.

" That can't be good."

" No it can't." she said, grinning. " Good night, Kudo. Don't get trapped in a lift again."

He grinned back.

" You don't want to talk." He said, and shut the door behind him.

She waited until his footsteps faded into darkness when she sat down on the chair behind her. She pulled out her handphone from her pocket, and dialed a familiar phone number. A number which nobody would answer.

A phone that nobody would pick up.

The user was dead as a doornail.

But she spoke anyway.

" Hello, Shuichi, how are you." She said softly, nothing answering her call but the dull thud of the ringing of the phone.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It was the next day that could be called the day where all the boys and girls in the school rejoiced.

It could also be called the day that Shiho hated everyone in the world.

Let me start over, once again, shall I?

Shiho Miyano walked over to the school bulletin board, and raised her eyebrows at the gleeful boys who left it, staring at her intently, undressing her with their eyes. She nodded at Shinichi, who nodded back, slapping his head at the news. She looked up and her mouth fell open.

" Oh my God." She muttered.

WIN A DATE WITH THE QUEEN AND KING OF THE YEAR! INSTEAD OF JUST COUNTING UP THE VOTES, AN AUCTION WILL BE STARTED FOR A DATE WITH ANY ONE OF THE SIX PARTICIPANTS.

" That's just nasty." Shinichi muttered.

THE KING AND QUEEN CHOSEN WILL BE THE TWO PEOPLE WHO GET BIDDED THE MOST AMOUNT OF MONEY IN TOTAL.

" Interesting." Sonoko said, smirking, Ran by her side.

Shinichi ignored them, nudging Shiho in the ribs.

" Look," he said, grinning. " The scores so far."

THE VOTES SO FAR:

SHINICHI KUDO. . . . .379 votes

YORO. . . . .302

SANSHRIYUKI. . . . 301

" Lost to you again." Yoro said cheerfully, patting him on the back.

Shinichi grinned back.

But unfortunately, Sanshriyuki was not half as happy to losing to him. He scowled, glaring at Shinichi. Just as Shinichi turned to face him, he looked away. And as he did, his gaze met Sonoko's, who winked.

He smiled.

Shiho looked at the woman's side.

SAKURA. . .169 votes

" Well, I guess she did relatively well," Shinichi said, but stopped in mid-sentence. Everyone was looking at the bottom two names, the smile sliding off his face. There were mutters and grins, and groans at the same time.

SHIHO. . . . 400 votes

RAN. . . . 400 votes

" A tie," Yoro whispered.

Ran turned to look at Shinichi, then bit her lip as he leaned over and patted Shiho on the back. Shiho noticed this, and Ran looked away, blushing. She let out a small smirk. ' Look who's jealous now, Ran.' She whispered to herself.

" Nicely done! Miyano-sensei!" Sakura said happily, patting her on the back.

It was not like Shiho to smile.

It was not like her to show any expressions at all.

But she couldn't help it.

" Thank you." She said, a true smile on her lips.

Shinichi watched her out of the corner of his eye.

Several boys and girls were around her, wishing her luck.

He blushed.
