Old Fiat, nFr.
To the reviewers: Sorry if that bit with Shusuke seemed OOC (out of character), he wasn't supposed to be saying it seriously… just a little joke. I hope you still like it though… I didn't mean to change the character or anything… sorry. :(
Please keep reviewing!
Ahotep: Oui, je suis tres cruel à Kaido! Lol, désolé. Mais merci, oui, c'est les fautes d'un qui aide en… progresse… oh, je suis terrible!

Chapter Five:
I need to find a girl who will date me, Kaoru wrote in his 'log book' (diary, journal). Otherwise I'm off the team. But I am still so shocked by the behaviour of Tomoka-chan. I thought that she liked me back! She definitely implied it… flirting all the time and all… but I s'pose that was just to get Echizen-kohei jealous… damn his eyes. I'm so lonely.
'Oni-san?' Hazue entered the room.
'What?' Kaoru shut his 'log book' and spun round in his chair. 'Oh, hello Hazue.'
'What were you writing? Can I help?'
'No, I was writing in my log book.'
'Isn't that a diary?'
'No! Only girls have diaries! According to Momo-kun anyway…'
'I call mine a diary.'
'That makes you a girl then doesn't it?'
Hazue just stared. 'What are you writing about?'
'Nothing.'
Hazue kept staring. 'Then why were you writing?'
'To take up space.'
'Okay, bye,' he left.
Kaoru returned to his log book. Stupid brother, always bothering me. Anyway, I s'pose I could ask that girl from ballet out… though she probably likes someone else too. I'm just too ugly for Japanese girls… or any girls… hell, I doubt I could get a boyfriend (that is… if I wanted one… and I don't!). I doubt I could even get a kangaroo to go out with me. It would be rather a long-distance relationship. WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT? I'm not dating a kangaroo… or anyone. I don't even have any friends… unless you count Hazue. I'll go find him and practise my Japanese… later.
Bye bye,
Kaoru Kaido
Post Script: I think I have a blister on my left foot's big toe. Ow.

What the hell was I thinking? Thought Shusuke as he pulled on a pair of Stewart tartan trousers. I can't date someone for school secrets! Well, I know it's physically possible but not really correct you know and all that. All the confidence he had been bursting with seemed to have left and now he wasn't quite sure what to do. He took off the trousers and replaced them with a kilt of the Kennedy tartan.
'Dad,' he said when he came down into his parents lounge. 'Do you think that you could drive me to the art cinema… the one that we usually go to. I have a date and if I go by foot I'll be 20 minutes late at least.'
'You have a date?' his dad raised an eyebrow. 'Do you think that you could get Yumiko to take you? I have to be a the docks in five minutes or Giovanni's having my throat slit.' He laughed as Shusuke's eyes opened wide.
Shusuke finally ended up getting a ride with Yumiko who seemed very disgruntled… to put it nicely.
'What's your problem, onee-san?' he got tired of sneering.
'Oh nothing, but you are making me late for my date!' she angrily (and accidently) slid into the right lane.
'Oy watch it!' Shusuke grabbed the wheel and turned them back. 'With whom may I ask? Did daddy approve him?'
'Takashi Kawamura, that friend of yours,' she smiled. 'He's a good kisser.'
'What!'
'I think this is your cinema,' she pushed him out of the car and drove off.
His date was standing there waiting. 'Are you all right? Who was that?'
'A crazy lady,' Shusuke brushed the dirt off of himself and entered the cinema with her. 'I know this is ridiculous but I believe I have completely forgotten your name, do you think you could enlighten me?'
'You didn't ask in the first place, silly,' she tickled under his chin and his cheeks turned pink. 'It's Kiyoko.' Kiyoko was wearing a very short skirt indeed. 'Oh my God! You're wearing a kilt! How cute!' she giggled.
Shusuke blushed. He felt pretty weird about his fashion decision right now. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to wear a kilt if she was also wearing a skirt… not that kilts are skirts… but they were getting some pretty weird looks. People were pointing him out as going to Seigaku and she seemed to enjoy all this bizarre attention.
'Let's go in,' said Shusuke, curtly.
'Okay,' she smiled and hugged his arm.

Old Fiat (nFr) talking!
I hope you liked this… a bit of a bridge chapter but I'll have interesting stuff happen in it.
And I'm sorry of not pairing Kaoru off yet… I was going to but… I dunno… I just enjoyed writing his misery so much and stuff. You know, lol. Anyway, please review of what you would like to happen, what you thought, or anything really; I appreciate all the reviews I can get!
