Chapter 10: Something Nice for Tezuka

Thanks to Mitsuki, Jess, Gorilaz, KatrinaKaiba, and xxlemonsxx for reviewing! (And Jess? You get more cookies! Made with love by uh…heh you don't wanna know who made them!)

Jess happily sat down. "Finally, I've gotten back at that bitch," she thought. "But now what? Hmmm, I wanna do something nice for Tezuka…But what?" (Jess started eating her lunch. She hadn't noticed that Mitsuki and Shizuka had walked in.)

"What to do, what to do," pondered Jess. She chowed down on her lunch. (Mitsuki and Shizuka- "Jess? Jessica…Hey Jess!")

"I wonder what kinds of things Tezuka likes…" Jess thought about it some more. (Mitsuki- "Ah! That's part of my lunch!" –crying)

"Hm, I should go ask Momo…But wouldn't that make it obvious that I like him?" (Shizuka- "HEY! Stop eating my lunch…No, my juice!" –very upset)

"I got it! I'll invite Tezuka to my house for a casual study date and ask him there!" Jessica exclaimed while jumping up. "Ara, Mitsuki, Shizuka. Where were you guys? I needed your help…But eating lunch always helps me think, so I guess I didn't need your help! Hahahaha…"

"Good for you…," Mitsuki and Shizuka said in unison, while crying over their lost lunches.

At the Tennis Courts…

"Jess!" exclaimed Momo. "What perfect timing! My plan can go into action now…"
"Yo, Momo. What are you smiling about?"

"Oh nothing! Hey, do you have any big tests coming up?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"I know a good tutor to help you study!"

"Eh, really? I do have a big Japanese History test coming up…"

"Perfect! Stay right here! Buchou!" Momo took off running. "Buchou!"

"What is it Momoshiro?"

"Can you tutor someone? They really need help in Japanese History…"

"Sorry I don't-"

"At least come with me to meet the person!"

"…fine."

"Ok! Follow me!"

Back with Jess…

"Ah, it's Tezuka!" thought Jess. "…he is the perfect tutor."

"Ok, so here's your student Buchou. I'm gonna go now! Bye!" Momo sped off.

"Kawamoto, do you really need help?" the Seigaku captain asked.

"Yes!" Jess said. "This is perfect. I can talk to him! Thanks Momo!"

"Fine, I'll help you study."

"Whee! Let's go to my house when you're finished with practice!"

"Alright."

At Jessica's House…

"Hm, you have a big house," Tezuka commented.

"Really? Thanks! C'mon, let's go in!"

Inside, Jessica quickly ran into the kitchen. She prepared a tray with tea on it.

"Let's go study up in my room," she suggested.

Jess led Tezuka upstairs. She opened her bedroom door and let Tezuka in. After she closed it, she locked the door.

"Tezuka…," Jessica said. There was a slight red color in her face.

"Hn?"

"I need you…"

Tezuka looked at Jess weirdly. "P-pardon me?"

"I really need you…"

"Kawamoto, you…"

Jessica stepped up to Tezuka. "Let's do it Tezuka!"

"No. We can't. We're both obviously too young."

Jess took Tezuka's hands into hers. "I really need you to help me study! History is one of my worst subjects!"

Tezuka looked surprised.

"What were you thinking…Oh, I know! Tezuka Kunimitsu, you pervert!"

"No…I…uh…Do you have your book? Let's start."

"Aha! Trying to change the subject! Don't even try!"

"…"

"Tezuka."

"…"

"Mou, Tezuka!"

"…"

"Fine. Let's start…--"

After Three Hours of Studying…

"Alright, you should be able to pass," Tezuka said.

"Finally, finished!"

"Mm. It's a bit late. I'll leave now."

"Oh shoot! I forgot to ask Tezuka what he likes!" thought Jess. "Wait! Stay for dinner!"

"Sorry Kawamoto, I…"

"Please? I get really lonely by myself…"

"…"

"Please?"

"…I'll call home. Wait here."

"Yay! I'm going to go start dinner!"

Jess ran to the kitchen. "Ok, ask him at dinner. Bring it up casually…Act cool…"

During Dinner…

"Ne, Tezuka…," Jess started.

"What?"

"Ummm…Errr… (Shoot, what happened to acting cool?) If I were to get you a gift, what would you like?"

"Me?"

Jessica nodded.

"…I prefer if you got me…"

Tezuka then told Jess his likes and dislikes. (A/N: What? I can't think what Tezuka would like for his birthday. It's hard enough to try and keep him in character.)

Jessica ooo'ed at Tezuka's choices. "Now I know what to get him! Time to go shopping!"

Finally, Dinner's over…

Tezuka was at the door. "Kawamoto, thank you for having me over for dinner."

"Oh no! Thanks so much for helping me study! I know I can take that test tomorrow!"

"Mm. Well, see you tomorrow."

"Bye!"

Tezuka turned to leave.

"Uh, wait up Tezuka!" Jess said.

"What?" He turned back around.

Jess then gave him a light, almost-not-there kiss on the cheek.

"That was for tonight. I'm really grateful that you helped me. Now, goodnight."

Jessica closed her door and leaned on it. She smiled. On the other side, a surprised looking Tezuka Kunimitsu stood on the porch. He put his hand to his cheek and started walking home.

That's chapter 10! I was writing this during school, so if it seems kinda clumped together, I'm sorry. I was trying to write as much as I could before the teachers came in. Dunno when the next update's going to be. Maybe next week. R/R!
