Chapter 7:

"Where are we going?" Kida asked, being dragged along by Koji.

"You'll see..."

"I DON'T WANNA!" Kida mock cried. Kida grabbed a hold of a lamp post and clung onto it with all her might. Koji looked back at her with a look of exhaustion.

"C'mon Kida..."

"Not until you tell me what we're doing!"

"We're meeting some people." Kida's grip loosened.

"People?"

"Yeah, y'know, those fleshy things that make noises that sound like words." Kida glared. "C'mon!" Koji said, grabbing her wrist and forcing her to run with him again.

Once they arrived at some park type thing:

Koji was leading her to a bench surrounded by people. There were Takuya and Izumi, so she felt slightly relieved. Finally they slowed.

"Ah, here they are!" Izumi said, standing from her spot on the bench. Everyone turned to look at them.

"Guys," Takuya began, "This is Kida Washington. We've known her since the fifth grade." The larger of the other two people grabbed her hand and shook it.

"Hello Kida, so glad we could meet, I've heard a lot about you! I'm JP!"

"Hi JP..." She said slowly. "Could I have my hand back?"

"Oh, right!" As JP let go, the smaller boy stepped up and waved.

"I'm Tom."

"Hi Tom!" Kida was glad he wasn't going to shake her hand too...

"Where's Kouichi?" Koji asked suddenly. There's another? Kida asked herself.

"Dunno. Haven't seen him..." Takuya said lowly.

"How many people am I meeting?" Kida asked out loud.

"Kouichi's left," Izumi said. She noticed Kida's slightly shocked face. "You didn't mean to say that out loud, did you?" Kida blushed then shook her head.

"Not really." She looked up and saw Koji, only with shorter hair. "OH MY FUCKING GAWD! KOJI, YOU CUT YOUR FUCKING HAIR!" Kida yelled, pointing at the stunned boy who was panting a few feet away from her.

"One... who the hell (pant) are you, and (pant) I am not (pant) Koji...whooo..." He said.

"Uh... Kida, this is Kouichi..." Takuya said while sweatdropping. Kida walked over to Kouichi and began circling him like a hawk.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"Are you and Koji clones or something?" She asked while holding her chin in her hand, elbow in other hand.

"No..."

"Hm... same black hair... same blue eyes... you look like you'd be the same height and weight... your skin tone is pretty close..." Everyone double sweatdropped.

"We're twins..."

"I GOT IT! YOU'RE TWINS!" Koji smacked his forehead.

"Right..." Koji said after Kouichi basically gave her the stink eye. (Rocket Power reference. Haven't seen that show in forever.) Koji dragged his hands down his face. "Kida, this is my brother, Kouichi... Kouichi this is Kida..."

"Hi Kouichi!" Kida stuck her hand in the air and waved. Kouichi lifted an eyebrow.

"Hey..."

... wait for it...

"WAIT! YOU NEVER MENTIONED A BROTHER!" enter anime fall here

After Everyone Gained Consciousness.

"Sorry, I guess I'm just dense..." Kida apologized. Kouichi waved his hand slightly.

"Ah, it's alright. I know a few people like that..." Kouichi replied.

"I guess you do technically know yourself..." Koji added. Kouichi glared.

"You're just jealous 'cause you know I'm hotter than you." Koji anime fell. Kouichi laughed compulsively.

"OFF TO THE CAFE!" Takuya yelled as he marched off, the others at tow.

Later at some Cafe:

"YUM! SCONE!" Kida yelled, stuffing a scone into her mouth.

"What was this place called?" Izumi asked, curiously looking around at all the English things she was suddenly surrounded by.

"Starbucks..." Takuya replied, placing a tray of coffee down on the table. Koji and Kouichi stared at the scones and poked them twice at the same time. AW! CUTE! A mischevious grin appeared over Kida's features. She grabbed the scone in front of Koji and forced it down his throat. He yelled incoherent curses through the scone lodged in his throat. Something like, 'Damn bitch! Fuck you.' Kouichi glanced at her, then to his choking brother, then back to her. He quickly ate the scone.

At Takuya's Home, Place, THING! (Gawd I'm Hyper)

JP cracked his knuckles as he gloated about how his was going to kick everyone's asses at cards.

"ESPECIALLY YOU KOUICHI!" he suddenly yelled. Kouichi shrugged.

"It's not my fault you always lose," Kouichi said. JP pointed a finger in his face.

"You're cheating, some how, some way... I know..."

"If you want me to stop winning, then perhaps you should stop dealing me all the good cards." Kida let out a small laugh.

"He's got a point there," Kida said. JP backed away in defeat, waving a small white flag. Takuya returned with some chips and a pack of cards.

"OK," Takuya said in a cheesy fifties voice. "The name of the game is Dare Poker. At the end of each turn, the person with the most chips dares the person with the least. The person with the least must do it, no matter what, ya see?" he pretended to huff on an invisible cigar.

After A Few Rounds Just Because I Don't Feel Like Writing Every Round:

"AW!" Koji yelled as he lost about half of his chips to Takuya. He had the least... again. And to make matters even worse... Kida was chip holder.

"Alright Koji... It seems I get to once again give you a dare." She settled herself in her chair as if thinking of what to make him do even though she already knew what she was going to say. "You've already had to stuff ice down your shirt, put Icy-Hot in your boxers, chug one gallon of milk, strip and run down the street yelling, 'I'm a pretty pony' and confess your love to our cafeteria lady who asked you to marry her... I think... I'm going to... Make you dress up like a girl, heels, make up, bra, everything!" Koji whimpered. Kida and Izumi dragged him into the bathroom as they began rummaging through their bags and Takuya's mother's closet. A half an hour later, he came out wearing a hooker outfit, a shirt that covered his chest only, a micro mini, ripped panty hose, really big, chunky shoes, long fake nails, and really bad make up. His hair was in some messy up-do. He blushed and glared at the same time. Kida burst out laughing while Izumi ran into the other room to laugh. Kouichi walked up to his brother and grabbed his hand.

"Why miss," Kouichi said sarcastically, "How much do you cost?" Koji glared even more.

"Don't make me slap you," Koji said. Tom and JP walked around him, inspecting how the girls did. Once they got behind him, they fell over laughing. They forced Koji into a thong...

"SMILE!" Takuya yelled as he snapped a picture on his camera phone. Koji set off after Takuya down the street.

"Was that Minamoto?" some people from their school questioned as the two rushed past them.

KJ signing off. There is a dirty version where the card game doesn't exist. I dunno if you guys would want to read it... :blush:
