Notes: 8 reviews is a lot for me! Thank you very much. I know this chapter is just so I can connect the last chapter to the next one and is probably not necessary but skipping straight to chapter 7 would be a bit odd wouldn't it? Anyway, please review. Thanks for the idea about Tomo/Kaido by the way Uranaikko (I think that's your pen name…), I'll probably use it in the next chapter. Yes, Kaoru is a bit mean here, but he's a very disgruntled boy… haha. Anyway, please continue to review! –Old Fiat, Buy Fiat
Chapter Six:
'Hello, Kaido residence, may I please ask who's calling?'
'Yes, this is Kamio Akira, I wish to speak to Kaoru if he is available.'
'Of course he is, don't be stupid, let me get him.'
--
'Kaoru here.'
'What you said was true! They are going out… and Momoshiro's being a real jerk, Ann was mine first and he refuses to agnoledge that.'
'So, I was right. Why did you call me?'
'I wanted to know if you will be able to tell me when their other dates are to take place?'
'No, I'm afraid I revealed myself to Momoshiro as his betrayer. However, I do know someone who would be able to tell me if I paid him… I'll get back to you, bye.'
--
'House of Fuji, who would you like to speak to?'
'Fuji Shusuke please.'
'Call their house then, Sir.'
--
'Hello, this is the house of Fuji, may I please ask who's calling?'
'Kaido Kaoru for Fuji Shusuke, if you please.'
'All right.'
--
'Hello, why are you calling me again?'
'When did I call you before?'
'Oh… wait, never mind… it wasn't you who called me before. Disregarde!'
'Whatever… I was wondering if you could tell me something… about Momoshiro.'
'Again? Haven't I told you enough?'
'What are you talking about?'
'Oh yes, disregarde. What do you want to know and how much are you giving?'
'£40.'
'I—fine—I'll be charitable just this once. What do you want to know?'
'When is Momo and Ann's next date?'
'Tuesday in the afternoon at the roller-hall.'
'Okay, thank you.'
'Toodles!'
Kaoru hung up.
'Fuji… I think I dropped a stitch!'
'Hold on! I'll get my mum!'
—At the Tachibana Residence, Monday afternoon—
Kippei walked over to the door and pulled it open. 'Hello? Akira! What're you doing here? You're all wet! Don't go out in the rain without an umbrella again.'
'Sorry Captain, I just want to ask you some questions.'
'Okay, sure, just take off this coat,' Kippei pulled the coat off of Akira and hung it up somewhere. 'Now, what did you want to ask me?'
'I was wondering if you knew about Momo and Ann… that they were going out… before I did,' Akira looked afraid to hear an answer.
'Well,' Kippei was very uncomfortable. He wished that Kamio would stop staring at him like that. 'Yes, but I—
'Never mind, I'm going, bye,' Kamio grabbed his coat and started to leave when Kippei grabbed his shoulder.
'Kamio, I know I should have told you, and I'm sorry that I didn't, but I think I can help you split them up.'
'That would be lovely, thank you, please call me later. I have to go to a party and I need to go home and change first. See you later,' Kamio walked out into the rain and left.
—At a Café, Tuesday early afternoon—
'So,' Kaoru sipped his coffee. 'You finally made it.'
'I'm sorry,' Akira inclined his head slightly. 'My dad's making me watch my little brother.'
'I quite understand, just put the baby on your lap and let's talk.'
'Did you find out when their date is to be?'
'Yes,' Kaoru ordered a demitas for his tablemate. 'Later this afternoon at the roller hall.'
'So how are we going to do this? Tachibana-kun said he'd help out.'
'We're going to go there and—
—Later that afternoon, the roller hall—
'Thanks for helping me skate,' Ann kept slipping. 'I'm awful on roller skates, fine on inlines… but roller skates…'
'That's all right,' Momo was holding onto her arm and shoulder. 'Would you like me to get you a refreshment?'
'Er, yeh, that'd be great,' She smiled and they skated over to a place where they could sit. Momo walked off to get drinks.
'Hello Ann.'
'Akira?'
