Chapter 5:

"Hello?" Koji said as he answered the phone.

"Koji!" Kida's voice came from the receiver.

"Kida? Hi."

"I have a problem." Koji gasped.

"Your mom's actually sending you back to the US!"

"No! But, some guy just called for her and said that she better have the money tomorrow or else!"

"What?"

"I think my mom's in trouble again."

"Huh?" Kida rolled her eyes.

"Oh, c'mon, you're supposedly smart, figure it out!"

"Supposedly?"

"KOJI!"

"Maybe she was… I dunno, buying something… or selling something… or…"

"Hm."

"Look, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Ok, it's obviously something, but I'm sure that this something is nothing to worry about."

"Huh?"

"Forget it."

"Forget what you said or forget this something that you are confusing for nothing?"

"I'm going to hang up now."

"Kay… I'll try not to worry about it… Oh, are you in trouble?"

"None."

"Ditto."

"See? Another example of you worrying over nothing."

"Another?"

"Good-bye Kida Washington."

"Good-bye Little Hojo Minamoto." Then she quickly hung up. She knew how much Koji hated it when people compared him to his father. His exact words were, 'I'm nothing like that lying, back stabbing, greedy bastard!' He almost punched Kida when she explained to him that they did share the same last name. She knew that by tomorrow he would have figured out a way to murder her and may actually go through with it.

The Next Day:

Kida stealthily walked through the school hallways, checking in every direction before she moved into another hall. Koji was going to kill her and she was going to be ready for it. Then, a certain blonde girl appeared infront of her.

"Hey Kida," Izumi said while waving.

"Hey… have you seen Koji?"

"Yeah, he's in the classroom. He's real steamed about something." Kida sweatdropped and Izumi noticed. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about it, would you?"

"I… uh… called him Little Hojo…" Izumi's jaw dropped.

"ARE YOU INSANE!"

"Maybe…" Izumi began backing up.

"I-I shouldn't be here… I'm in danger just standing next to you!" Izumi then proceeded to run away screaming. Kida sweatdropped even more. Dramatization, much?

"Maybe I'll just hang out in the girls' bathroom today…" No sooner than she turned to head into the girls' facilities did a certain black haired boy show up, steaming like a tea kettle in the middle of July, (HEY! My birthday's the third of that month!).

"Ki-DA!" he yelled angrily. Kida jumped then cowered at the sight of Koji's angered expression.

"Y-Yes Koji-san?" Koji pushed her up against a wall by her shoulders.

"HOW DARE YOU DO-."

"Yes! I know! It's just… The opportunity was there and I just couldn't pass it up. Besides, you said that you could never stay angry at me for long, right?" Koji glared at her before letting go and sighing.

"Yeah, yeah…" Koji stuffed his hands in his pockets and began walking back to class. Kida, feeling the tension dissolving, ran up behind him and jumped on his back, wrapping her hands around his neck. "WHAT THE!"

"Give me a piggy-back to class, will you Koji-san?" Kida asked with her utmost cute-ness. Seriously, she had the rosy cheeks and all. She nuzzled his neck playfully.

"Don't push it…"

"Fine." Kida tried to jump down but found it currently impossible. Koji had gabbed a hold of her legs and began walking. Smiling, Kida re-wrapped her arms around his neck as he carried her to class.

"Just don't call me that…" Koji said from far away, as if fading away really.

"Yeah, I won't."

"EVER again."
" I understand."

"Seriously, if you do I won't be held accountable for what happens."

"I GET IT!"

"Don't raise your voice to me, I'm the one carrying you, remember?"

"HMPH!"

"Think we could use anything here, Boss?" One of those geeks from before asked in some dark room surrounded by monitors. One of the monitors had Koji and Kida on it.

"Nah," the 'Boss' said while pushing up his glasses. "Everyone knows that Koji and Kida were meant to be together. This is just nature taking its course." The geek began to turn away until a light bulb went off. "Unless we tamper with Mother Nature… hee, hee, hee…"

Later At Detention:

"This room… is so pink..!" Koji said as he stared into the girls' bathroom.

"I know… it's dreadful…" Kida added. "Well! Guess we better get started!" Koji reluctantly walked into a stall. He stopped when he noticed a small silver trash can hanging on the wall.

"Hey, what's with this trash can? Why's it 1, in here and 2, on the wall?" Kida raised an eyebrow, but when she realized what he was talking about, an evil look appeared.

"Dunno. Guess you should clean it though…"

"Whatever." Wait for it… "WHAT THE HELL!"

"Hm?" She sounded oh-too-innocent. Koji held up a bloody pad.

"WHAT IS THIS!" Kida tried to hold in her laughs but couldn't help it. "WAS SOMEONE CUTTING!" Kida suddenly stopped short. "This is no laughing matter! We gotta tell someone!" Koji tried to run out of the bathroom but Kida stopped him, whispering something in his ear. His. Face. Went. Blank. "Uh…" Men. They are 100 dense…

KJ signing off! Tee, hee, hee!
