We had last left off in Mr. Tanaka's Physics class, where Tetsuko-Koji and the others were being lectured on the first assignment. The day slowly became better throughout the final classes. But as soon as the dismissal bell rung, they would have to report back to Mr. Tanaka's classroom for after school detention. But they didn't let that bother them too much, because they were going to end up doing it whether they like it or not. We now join everyone in Mr. Tanaka's Physics class, where they had just arrived after the bell…

Mr. Tanaka had to step out of the room to take a phone call. So Tetsuko-Koji said to Rei, "Princess Rei, my spaceship and mechs all need tune-ups. How long will this 'detention' last?" Rei shrugged saying, "Oh, about an hour and forty-five minutes." Serina had sighed and said, "Detention…on the very first day. Jin-Li, it was nice of you to offer to stay, but are you sure about it?" Jin-Li had said, "Of course, it's alright with me." Serina had smiled saying, "Okay, then." Tetsuko-Koji had rested his head on his desk and began to make beats on the table. He had done it quietly, so he wouldn't disturb anyone. He had thought, 'If only I had just defeated that thing quicker, we would be at the mall right now!' He turned around to face the girls saying, "I do apologize for causing you girls to get detention." The girls all had replied, "It's okay, T.K."

The guilt was still a bit too much for Tetsuko-Koji as he thought about Rei having to waste her valuable time in there because of him. Koujo-Tsuta was saying something to Jin-Li when Mr. Tanaka walked in saying, "Quiet!" Tetsuko-Koji had raised his hand suddenly. "What is it, Minakami?" Mr. Tanaka had asked rather agitatedly. Tetsuko-Koji stood and said, "Sir, please. Let my friends go. I'm the reason why they were late. Penalize me only." Mr. Tanaka had said, "Are you sure?" Tetsuko-Koji had said, "Yes, I'm sure." Mr. Tanaka had then said, "Okay, then. You others may leave. It will not count on your records." Tetsuko-Koji had then let out a sigh of relief. When the others were exiting, Rei had stopped to talk to Tetsuko-Koji. She said to him, "T.K., this is very chivalrous of you." Tetsuko-Koji had smiled at her compliment, saying, "Rei, I know that you have better things to do than wasting time in detention. I'll see you later." Rei had then smiled saying, "Bye, T.K." After that, she had left. Tetsuko-Koji had then sighed amorously saying, "Rei…"

A gruff voice from the back of the classroom had said, "Heh. You're hopeless." This had angered Tetsuko-Koji a little, so he asked the student, "What is your name?" The student replied, "My name is Daisuke Sagura." Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Daisuke, you need to mind your own business!" Before Daisuke could reply, Mr. Tanaka had said, "Quiet!" Around 4:45 p.m., Tetsuko-Koji had left the school to join up with Rei and the others. But before he went to the mall, he drove over toward Rei's home…just in case. After that, he headed straight for the mall. We now join the others, who were already at the mall. Minako had sat down by Rei, who had taken a break from walking. She told Rei, "That was really nice of T.K. to take the blame for everything, Rei." Rei had looked at Minako, smiling. But she then turned her head the other way, thinking, 'I wonder…if Tetsuko-Koji still has a crush on me…" Just then, Tetsuko-Koji walked up right in front of her saying, "Sorry I'm late, Princess Rei. I had dropped by your home before coming here, just in case." Rei had smiled saying, "Let's go to my house, just the two of us." With that, she and Tetsuko-Koji left their friends at the mall.

When they had arrived at Rei's home, she had said, "Wait here, T.K. I'm going in to go put on my kimono." She had then stepped out of his car when he said, "Okay, Princess Rei." She smiled as she shut the door, and giggled as she made her way inside. Tetsuko-Koji had then stepped out of his car to wait for Rei to invite him in. A couple of minutes later, she had came outside saying, "Okay, you can come in now!" Tetsuko-Koji had flown over to Rei, landed, and entered in after her. Inside, Rei said, "You can have a seat if you want." Tetsuko-Koji said, "Thank you, Princess." Rei had then sat close to Tetsuko-Koji. He blushed slightly, noticing that she was sitting closer than she normally would. Rei had asked, "Um, are you thirsty or hungry?" Tetsuko-Koji was very grateful for the offer, but he smiled and said, "No, thank you." Rei had noticed that she was stalling, because what she had wanted to ask him would more than likely change things between them. So an uncomfortable silence swept the room.

Then Tetsuko-Koji had broken the silence by asking, "Princess, why did you want to return home so suddenly?" She had said to herself, 'This is it. There's no turning back.' Then she took a deep breath and said, "Tetsuko-Koji, I need you to tell me the truth…" Tetsuko-Koji had sort of flinched to hear Rei say his whole first name. He reassured Rei by saying, "I wouldn't ever dream of lying to you." Rei had then turned crimson as she said to herself, 'Oh, boy! Here goes!' Then she had taken another deep breath, and asked, "Do you have…feelings for me, Tetsuko-Koji?" Tetsuko-Koji's face had flushed into a deeper shade of crimson. He had said to Rei, "Feelings? Rei, I have…always had feelings for you…but now…" He pauses to take both of her hands and says, "those old feelings became a new love. So now, I can say that…I'm in love with you, Rei.

Rei's whole face had flushed to the same color as Tetsuko-Koji's! She had asked, "Love?" Then she thought happily to herself, I've waited so long for T.K. to admit his love!' She blushed a bit deeper when she thought, 'But the day he proposes…will be the best day of my life!' She had then looked Tetsuko-Koji in the eye and said, "Tetsuko-Koji, I'm in love with you as well. My mother told me about everything that had happened when you would visit her. It would amuse her every time she would tell me that you would say that you really liked me…only because I would blush deeply and turn my head every time she felt like bringing it up." Tetsuko-Koji had smiled as he remembered those conversations. He then said, "I'm so happy that you feel the same way about me." With that, he leaned closer to Rei. She had blushed furiously because she knew that he wanted to share a kiss with her. So she leaned over as well.

However, before they actually kissed, Serina rudely interrupted them! She had slid the door open saying, "Hey, Rei and T.K.!" This had infuriated Rei! So she shouted, "Serina! You have just ruined the moment!" Serina had saw the disappointed expression on Tetsuko-Koji's face. So she smiled asking, "Was he about to kiss you or something?" Tetsuko-Koji had said, "Yes, Serina. I was." Serina had felt only a little guilty, but she couldn't erase the smile off of her face. So she said, "Sorry, T.K." After she apologized, she and the others had all sat down. Tetsuko-Koji had then said to himself, 'Damn it! I want to be alone with my princess! Oh, well…' Tetsuko-Koji had then kissed Rei! As soon as she had realized what had just happened, she had blushed to the same redness as before. She had then said, "Tetsuko-Koji…" The other girls had all began to giggle.

Jin-Li had then asked, "T.K., are you two together?" A big smile had then appeared across Tetsuko-Koji's face as he replied. "That's up to my beautiful princess." Rei had then looked at Tetsuko-Koji and said, "I would love to be your girlfriend, Tetsuko-Koji." Tetsuko-Koji had smiled even more saying, "I would love to be your boyfriend, Rei." Rei had smiled and then had kissed Tetsuko-Koji. Makoto had then said, "Tetsuko-Koji, I knew that you had a thing for Rei!" Tetsuko-Koji had said, "You were correct then, Makoto." Minako had said, "I know that you two will make a perfect couple!" Rei had nodded saying, "Yes, we will. Right, Tetsuko-Koji?" Tetsuko-Koji had replied, "Yes, Rei." Rei's grandfather had just then made his way into the room saying, "Hello, Rei. It seems that you have forgotten to awaken me on time. But I see that you have company, so it's okay."

Rei had looked at him saying, "Grandfather, this is Tetsuko-Koji Minakami; my boyfriend." Her grandfather had gasped asking, "As in Tetsuko and Momiji Minakami?" Tetsuko-Koji and Koujo-Tsuta had answered, "Yes." He then said, "You both have my condolences." Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Thank you. Sir, I love your granddaughter with all my heart. I hope to someday have her hand marriage." As soon as Tetsuko-Koji mentioned 'marriage', Rei's face had flushed to an even deeper shade of crimson! Her grandfather smiled saying, "When that day comes, you will have my blessings, Tetsuko-Koji." A huge grin appeared on Tetsuko-Koji's face as he asked, "Really?" Her grandfather replied, "Yes. Rei has never appeared this happy before. Also, you seem like a very responsible young man. But you both must wait until after high school to get married, understood?" Rei and Tetsuko-Koji had answered, "Understood."

After that, her grandfather had asked, "Is that my dinner cooling in the kitchen?" Rei had looked Tetsuko-Koji, wondering how the plate of food got into the kitchen. She simply stated, "Yes, grandfather." He gratefully said, "Thank you, Rei." He then walked into the kitchen to eat. Rei had asked, "T.K., how did that food get there?" Tetsuko-Koji smiled saying, "My 'Teleportation' feature on my wristwatch allowed me enough time to transport the dinner my chef made here into your kitchen." Rei smiled saying, "Thank you. It was sweet of you to do that for me." She then kisses Tetsuko-Koji. Tetsuko-Koji had then asked, "Rei, would you like to come over to my place?" Rei had then said, "I have to stay with my grandfather. Her grandfather then said, "Go have fun. I'll be alright." Rei had smiled saying, "Okay, then. Let's go!" She takes Tetsuko-Koji's hand and goes outside. Tetsuko-Koji pokes his head in saying, "Come on, you guys!" The others had all smiled and left Rei's home.

Tetsuko-Koji had opened Rei's door for her, then she got in. Tetsuko-Koji had then told Minako and Makoto to get in as well. Minako said, "I like your car!" Makoto agreed saying, "Yeah. Me too." Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Thank you." Jin-Li and Serina had both gotten into the back of Koujo-Tsuta's car. Then Koujo-Tsuta honked to make Tetsuko-Koji hurry. Tetsuko-Koji had gotten in, buckled up, checked his mirrors, and started his car. He then said, "Computer, online!" The car computer said, "Hello, Mr. Minakami." Then Tetsuko-Koji had drove off. Rei had turned on the radio. It was beginning to play 'Dearest' by Ayumi Hamasaki. Makoto had exclaimed, "I love this song! Turn it up, Rei!" Rei smiled after turning it up because every time, Makoto sung with Ayumi. After the song had finished, Tetsuko-Koji had smiled saying, "You're very talented, Makoto." Makoto had blushed slightly saying, "Thank you, Tetsuko-Koji."

That had made Rei slightly jealous. She was happy to hear that the next song was 'Shinjitsu no Uta' by Do As Infinity. She and Tetsuko-Koji both had said, "I love this song!" Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Rei, you should sing this time. I know that I'll like the song more if you sang it." Rei had blushed, and then she said, "Okay, Tetsuko-Koji." After that song finished, Tetsuko-Koji had said, "Now…I love that song! Rei, you sounded better than Tomiko!" Rei turned crimson saying, "Thank you, T.K." She had then kissed him on the cheek. Minako had said, "It's my turn!" The next song was 'Never Dying Flower' by Mikuni Shimokawa. After that song ended, Tetsuko-Koji said, "You sounded beautiful, Mina." Minako had blushed saying, "Thank you, T.K." Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Computer, display the remaining time!" The computer said, "Ten minutes, forty-nine seconds, and counting, Mr. Minakami."

Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Rei, I was thinking about what your grandfather had said." Rei smiled saying, "Which part?" Tetsuko-Koji had blushed saying, "About…marriage." Rei had instantly turned crimson asking, "What about marriage, Tetsuko-Koji?" He said, "Let's get married after we become nineteen." Rei was blushing furiously now. She said, "Okay. Tetsuko-Koji, could you please stop talking about marriage? It's kind of embarrassing." Tetsuko-Koji smiled saying, "Okay. We are a bit too young to even consider marriage, anyway. It's fine if you want to stop talking about it, but I know that I'm ready to make that commitment to you. But it's still a lot for the both of us to think about, so I'll stop." Rei smiled saying, "Thank you." Tetsuko-Koji had then said, "Rei, I truly love you. I will wait until you feel comfortable to talk about marriage." Minako and Makoto both blushed saying, "That's so sweet!" Rei smiled saying, "I truly love you too, Tetsuko-Koji." With that, they shared a kiss.

I hope you enjoyed Chapter Two…Stay tuned for Chapter Three!
