Chapter 3: Hideki

Hideki was standing at the clock tower, waiting for a certain someone. He just couldn't help thinking of what had happened the previous night.

/Flashback/

"Ahhh, she's here, she's going to call me a pervert!" Hideki wailed to himself as the others looked at him in surprise as he remembered that time he mistook her as Chii, he had nuzzled her neck while hugging her.

"EH, I didn't know that you are the guy from the cake shop." Chidori gasped in surprise as Hibiya stared at them with surprise.

"Ara, since you two know each other, I will then skip the introductions." Hibiya replied clapping her hands.

"Anyway, Hideki san, please join us for dinner." Hibiya asked him in which he agreed.

After a few intense hours of silence at the dinner table …

"Thanks for the dinner, Ms Hibiya and Haruno san." Hideki said, as he rubbed his full belly. "I really missed your cooking, Ms Hibiya."

"Is it, Motosuwa san, then you should have come here more often." Hibiya replied, causing Hideki to laugh sheepishly at her.

"Sa, since you are in town, why don't you bring my niece out and show her around?" Hibiya asked him.

"Sure why not?" he replied before he realized something. 'Oh shit!'

/end of flashback/

'I didn't know Ms Hibiya is also into the matchmaking thing.' Hideki thought as he stood there, he didn't have to wait any longer, when he saw the girl who he has been waiting for running towards him.

"I'm sorry for being late, Motosuwa san." She apologized trying to catch her breath at the same time.

"It's alright, I have just arrived here just five minutes ago." He lied trying to prevent Chidori from being guilty.

"I was about to leave my house if it wasn't for Sumomo who started up the warm up exercise." She huffed back, causing him to laugh back at a certain recollection of him also have to follow the exercise routine created by Sumomo with Chii as well.

"Ano, what's so funny Motosuwa san?" Chidori asked him with a puzzled look on her face.

"Just that I still can't believe that Sumomo still have that exercise routine program inside her." Hideki laughed, causing her to smile as well. "So where shall we head to Haruno san?" Hideki asked her causing her to frown as well.

"Just call me Chidori or Chii, like you called me at the cake shop." Chidori fumed, pouted her face, causing him to term it as cute.

'Cute? Where did it come from?' Hideki thought in surprise as he mentally slapped himself, causing her to look at him in puzzlement.

"Well then Tori san, then you has to call me Hideki then, so where shall we head to?" he repeated his question, rubbing his head.

"Hmmm, shall we go to the arcade down there?" she pointed to the game arcade down the road.

"Sure, why not Tori san." He replied.

"Yay, thanks Hideki, I wanted to try out that DDR game." She chirped as she dragged him along with her.

A few hours later …

"That was fun Hideki," she crowed as both of them were sitting on the boat with Hideki rowing the boat. He grinned at her response as he couldn't help but to admit that he enjoyed watching her dance and duel with her over some two player games with her winning most of the time.

"Thanks for bringing me out, it is hard as back at my hometown, everyone keep seeing my sister instead of me." She informed him with a sad look on her face while she was admiring the lake scenery.

Hideki was about to reply, when he heard a familiar voice from his left side.

"Motosuwa san it has been a long while." A deep voice called out from his left side, causing him to stand up and turn around to take around to the source of the voice, causing the boat to rock dangerously, dumping Chidori into the lake.

"Eh, Minoru san, Yuzuki san! Tori!" Hideki cried out as he recognized the now teenager and his persocom beside him and noticed that Chidori was falling into the lake.
