Rent a Girlfriend: Practice Date Number 2 Repercussions (Short Story) Part 1

(After this Story: I will do one more suited for Mature Readers)

Second Date:

Still having trouble with her Shyness, Sumi Sakurasawa asked Chizuku Mizuhara to go out with Kazuya Kinoshita on another Practice Date hoping it would help her get better. Well that was the excuse she had given to her friend. In truth she found herself liking him and not as a Client. To her, Kazuya was kind, considerate, patient and she did find him really attractive. Just the type that could help her get over her shyness. That is after he was her Real Boyfriend. She had spent a couple of hours researching the Diamond Agency Policies and Rules, finding nothing in them that prohibited one of the Rental Girlfriends from not having a Relationship with a Client or someone else's Client. The only thing that she really worried about was that from what she could tell both Chizuku and Kazuya were extremely close. Perhaps they were even in a Relationship or would be soon. Nearing where she had arranged to meet him, she reaffirmed her resolve.

At the same time, Kazuya was making his way to once again take Sumi Sakurasawa out on a Practice Date. He believed he had come up with a perfect activity to help with her Shyness and perhaps bring her out of her shell. On the way though all he could think about was that soon he would no longer be able to Rent Chizuku for if she did become an actual Actress. She intended to quit. Which meant to him, he probably would never see her again. He thought it all out last night when he just laid there staring at the Ceiling. She had said it right out plainly. Up to until she quit she would play the role as his Girlfriend, then that was it. Nothing more and after a few weeks, she would move out of her Apartment to a better Place. Though during that time he bet, she would find a Boyfriend that was in her league and not some Pathetic Loser like himself. He knew he had no possible future with her, she was so far out of his league that he would have to use a High Powered Telescope to even see her. Nearing where he had arranged to meet Sumi, he sighed and then smiled upon seeing her. "Wow she is just soo cute." He whispered as she waved at him. "Hello again Sumi...Chizuku said that you want to go on another Practice Date with me." He said to her and she nodded. Then smiled broadly when he reached out with his right hand towards her. She gripped it with her own and they were on their way.

"He is so great." Sumi thought as she smiled looking up at him. "Why is he single? Why is he seeing a Rental? Any Girl would love to be his Real Girlfriend." She asked herself really wanting to ask him, but just could not bring herself to do so. She also wanted to ask him where they were going. He seemed to notice and he smiled at her.

"I think I found something that will help you more then me trying to get you not to be so nervous around me." Kazuya said answering her unasked question. Nearing their destination, he stopped and pointed at the Overhead Sign. It read Paintball.

Coming out of a Shell:

Completely covered in Coveralls, a Helmet and a Facemask with Goggles. Sumi at first was a bit reluctant to do anything more then hide behind a tree, then suddenly another appeared in front of her. He fired at her missing her completely and she squeezed her eyes shut and pointed her own Paintball Rifle at him. Squeaking she pulled the trigger several times and when she opened them she noticed that she had actually hit him. With a huge grin, a switch seemed to go off inside her and she began to mow down any that came into her sight. Ducking and Weaving around the fake trees and boulders she could not believe how fun it was to hear the others groan and complain as she shot them. "BOOYAH!" She said loudly holding the Air Powered Rifle high after shooting another several times with the Balls. Laughing hard, then she noticed that her Paint Gun Supply Well was completely empty. Stepping out of the large Arena, she found Kazuya waiting for her. He had several stains on his Coveralls where he had been struck. She pulled off her Facemask, goggles and helmet. Smiling happily.

"I take it you had fun?" Kazuya asked smiling wincing slightly from being struck with so many Paintballs that had he had allowed to hit him. "Man those things hurt especially that close." He thought as she looked closer at him and then her eyes widened. Recognizing the first one that she had shot. He had the same coveralls that was now showing where she had shot him. The same one that had missed her completely at ten feet away.

"That was you." Sumi whispered with a huge smile. He shrugged.

"Thought that it would help you gain confidence." Kazuya said simply and before he could react, she squealed happily, jumped onto him wrapping her arms around his neck and then kissed him. He gasped in shock. Unsure what he should do. Wondering if her kissing him was even allowed. Worried that Chizuku would think that he had initiated something she would consider inappropriate. After several seconds, she released him and instantly realized what she had done. Blushing brightly, she bolted out the door and into the Girls Locker Room. Quickly taking the Coveralls off and dropping them in the return bin. She could not face him, not now. So she left and headed back towards home. Leaving the Boys Locker Room, Kazuya waited outside the Girls having no idea what to say to her. After several minutes he became concerned so he asked the next girl to come out if a Pretty Pink Haired Girl was still inside. When she said no, he asked the Clerk at the door who told him she left a good ten minutes ago. "Oh Man! I am in so dead. Chizuku is going to kill me." He whispered knowing he better talk to her immediately and tell her what had happened.

Down the street, Sumi had no idea what to do. She had wanted to kiss him since the first Date. Right there at the Subway Station for how great he had been on their Date. Off to one side she watched as Kazuya almost ran past her. She would head home first and then contact Chizuku wanting the others advice again along with accepting her apology.

The Encounter: That Morning

"To think I was actually jealous and believing that I fucked up in dumping Kazuya. But here I was right. He is a Pathetic Loser." Mami laughed and Chizuku had the urge to hit the Bitch as hard as she could. Still laughing. "Now I find out that he is such a Pathetic Loser that he had to hire you to be his Girlfriend. It is hysterical. I sort of knew that someone like you would not actually be with...someone like him." With her hand clenched into fists, Chizuku stalked towards Mami. Glaring down at her.

"What would you know about who is Pathetic and who isn't? I believe that you are the one that is a Pathetic Loser and not Kazuya. He is the most decent Boy that I have ever met. He actually cares about others, unlike yourself who only cares about yourself. Even after you dumped him. He cared about you and all you did was continue to torment him just to make yourself feel superior while making him miserable." Chizuku growled angrily and then remembered about the Bar. How Mami had basically tried to embarrass him and cause problems for her and Kazuya in the hopes that if it had been an indeed Relationship, problems. Perhaps even to the point of she and Kazuya breaking up. It made sense, Mami did not want him to be happy. The Bitch glared up at her and smiled evilly.

"Ha! Like you actually care about him. To you he is just a Client. Someone that Pays you to be nice to him. To pretend to care about him when it is obvious that no Girl would ever even be interested in him." Mami stated and Chizuku shook her head and laughed as well.

"I will have you know there are at least one other Girls that likes and Cares about him and so do I." Chizuku said not wanting to tell Mami about Ruka or from what she could tell regretfully Sumi was now also becoming interested in him. That told her she was not wrong about him at all, he was special. She leaned closer. "Yes I get paid to pretend to be his Girlfriend. I get paid to be other Boys Girlfriends. But nothing says I have to like them or care about them in any way. All I am paid to do is go on a Date with them. Nothing more then that. I do care about Kazuya and I will have you know that I fully intend to..." She stopped there. If she was about to admit to someone that she wanted to be more then just a Rental, it would be him first and not some horrible vindictive Bitch. "What I intend is none of your business." She straightened up and decided that this conversation was over.

"Just think how funny it is going to be when I tell everyone about you and him. How you are nothing more then a Paid Fake Girlfriend and he rented you to not look so Pathetic." Mami said as Chizuku began to walk away. Turning her head towards the shorter Girl.

"You know Slander is against the law and I am betting that those you intend to tell actually like him more then you. Hell they probably like me more then you. Kibe already knows what type of Girl you are. A Manipulative Vindictive Bitch that treats Kazuya like shit. So go ahead and tell. All it will do is prove just how much of a Bitch you are." Chizuku continued on with her head held high. Renewed with Determination.

One Conversation Leads to a few Others:

Sitting on her Patio Deck, Chizuku pondered over the instant Message that she had received through her Account. Kazuya had sent one that was completely descriptive not to arise suspicion that they lived right next door to her. "Patios are really neat at 8 PM." Which was about half an hour from now. She exhaled she also needed to talk to him and it had taken her all day to figure it out for herself. Mami had sent a false Date Request to basically out her and to confront her. With a deep sigh, she leaned onto the palms of her hands. "I wanted to wait until I was sure about the Acting Job...now I have to do it sooner then I had planned." She whispered to herself. After she had told Kazuya that she would be Moving on, that she was thinking about quitting her Job as a Rental. She knew that it had been a devastating blow to him because he probably believed that they would never see each other again. She also knew he had lied a few weeks ago about him not falling for her. It was so obvious that he had, she was half tempted to point out that she could tell when he lied. Since he was so bad at it. Her musing was interrupted when she heard him come out onto his own Patio. "Okay I am here. What was so important?" She asked then heard him begin to pace back and forth on the small deck.

"Now what I am about to tell you...I did not do anything...I did not encourage her or...I swear all I did was try to get her to be more...more confident in herself. How was I supposed to know she would...she would..." Kazuya was panicking. He did not like being on the receiving end of Chizuku's wrath.

"Would What?" Chizuku demanded, tempted to just forget this and go to his Apartment. Believing it no longer mattered if she broke the Rule about that. She already broke that Rule twice already. What was one more time or if she had her way, she would break that rule a lot more times then that. Moving closer to the Wall, she could hear him breath in and out several times. With a final exhale.

"She kissed me. Sumi Kissed me." Kazuya said and waited for Chizuku to come down on him with her fury.

"SUMI DID WHAT!" Chizuku growled angrily and before she could get a response from him, her Phone rang. Looking at it she saw that it was Sumi. "You and I are going to have a conversation, right now though I want to talk to Sumi and find out what happened. If I find out that you did something, you better hide!" She then stormed into her Apartment to have a private talk with Sum and find out what happened. Surprised when the Shy and Timid Girl was talking almost normal. Her voice was still low, but it was now filled with a confidence she had not expected to hear this soon. The one problem though was Sumi was babbling and it made it difficult for her to get the full story. "Sumi..Sumi..maybe it might be better if we talk face to face. You keep rambling on about how you screwed up. Meet me at the Diner...yes that one." With that she smiled slightly, then left to go to the Diner. It did not take long to reach the Diner since it was just off Campus. She found Sumi waiting nervously and as she approached, the Shy Girl bounded up from her seat. Bowing repeatedly.

"I am soo sorry Chizuku...I...it is just he..." Sumi began to cry and Chizuku began to wonder what he actually did. It took her a good ten minutes to get Sumi to calm down enough to first sit and then tell her what happened. "On our Date...He took me to that Paintball Place." Chizuku wrinkled her brow.

"Not exactly a place I would have thought to take someone on a Date. Especially you. I might have to discuss that with him when I see him." Chizuku said sternly and Sumi shook her head.

"No. No it actually helped me a lot. Yes at first I was reluctant and scared to...you know shoot anyone. Then he tricked me into shooting him...I did not even know it was him until after. So he let me shot him...I actually thought it was just someone there that was Playing as well. I felt good and I liked the feeling. So I started shooting everyone, anyone that I could find." Sumi beamed at Chizuku happily. Who chuckled.

"Gave you some well needed confidence did he?" Chizuku asked and Sumi nodded vigorously, still smiling. "So when you found out it was him..." The Pink Haired Girl blushed.

"I was so happy and so...so enthused...I jumped onto him and kissed him." Sumi said her voice lowering to almost a whisper. "A Rental is not supposed to do that. She is not supposed to kiss one of her Clients." She stammered out and Chizuku shook her head. Yes she followed that rule and made sure that any of her Clients knew that she did. But she never really agreed with that Rule. Actually she planned on breaking that one real soon.

"Do you like him?" Chizuku asked and Sumi smiled fondly.

"Oh yeah...he is so patient and so nice. Why doesn't he have a real Girlfriend? I mean he is just so considerate and wonderful. I think I fell for him when he saved me from those Punks that were...were being nasty and vulgar. I...there is just something special about him." Sumi asked blushing slightly and Chizuku inhaled sharply.

"Crap not another one...this makes two now that seem to want to take him away from me. First Ruka and now Sumi. Nope not happening. I saw him first." Chizuku thought and knew that last part of her thought did sound a bit childish. But in her mind she had. "Sumi. I know exactly what you mean. He is special and for why he doesn't have a Girlfriend. It comes down to that he does not know how wonderful and special he is." She could not believe she was saying that out loud, but she did not want to take a chance that Sumi who was another one that beat her to something with Kazuya by kissing him. Decide like Ruka to be his Real Girlfriend. "I saw him first." She whispered and then talked to Sumi for a bit longer before heading back to the Apartment. Deciding it was time.

Back at his Apartment, Kazuya considered his options and the best idea that he had was to hightail it to perhaps his Parents house or one of his Friends for a few days. He knew he was in trouble. Sure Sumi had kissed him, but Chizuku was sure to point out that he was a least a head taller and he was stronger. How could he not resist Sumi instead of just standing there and letting her kiss him. "Crap...I am so dead." He almost jumped out of his skin when someone knocked on his door. Checking the Peak Hole, he gasped. It was Chizuku and she had a very stern expression on her face. "So dead." He opened the door and she walked right in. Noticing how nervous and to her delight scared, she had to like it.

"Don't worry...I am not here to beat the Crap out of you. Turns out that Sumi got a little enthused and she admitted that she kissed you. That you did not do anything inappropriate." Chizuku said and watched as he sighed with relief and seemed to deflate right there in front of her. "Actually what you did was..amazing. Giving her a real boast of confidence and self assurance that she did not have before." She commented and Kazuya shrugged.

"Thought it would. It was kinda funny seeing how ballistic she got after she shot me." Kazuya said and Chizuku snickered.

"After you let her shoot you." Chizuku corrected and he smiled.

"Had to motivate her and I believed that was the best way. You should have seen it, she was like Rambo. Running around shooting anyone that she could find. She even after shooting this big Guy several times. She yelled Booyah, hoisting the Paintball Gun high and laughing." Kazuya told her and Chizuku laughed.

"Wish I could have seen that." Chizuku admitted tenderly reaching out to touch his shoulder. He winced and she drew back her hand.

"Sorry..those Paintballs hurt when you are only a couple of feet away. I have bruises on top of bruises." Kazuya quickly said fearing that she might have thought that he did not want Chizuku to touch him. In fact if he had not involuntarily winced he would have been ecstatic that she actually did touch him without it being a Booked Date. She smiled and again this time lightly placed her hand on his left shoulder.

"That was real nice of you to help her. She is more confident then she was before. I doubt she ever jumped onto someone and kissed them before. Her being as shy as she is." Chizuku felt a little envious. Sure she had kissed him when she gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation and then the fake kiss that almost gave him a heart attach, proving just how much in love with her that he was. Both times were not the same as actually kissing him.

"Glad I could help her...she is a really nice Girl and I bet she will make a great Rental." Kazuya was going to mention how cute she was and how her Shyness was actually just as cute. It seemed to suit her, making her personality kind of endearing. Oh yeah he liked her, but not as much as he liked and loved Chizuku. Delusional as it was.

"There is something else we need to discuss. Mami knows I am a Rental and that you rented me." Chizuku told him and he began to panic. "Easy...Calm down. There is a simple solution to this if she decides to be a vindictive Bitch and tell everyone." Kazuya felt like his world was officially ending. Chizuku was talking about quitting being a Rental which meant that he probably would never see her again. To top it off Mami would take great delight in telling everyone what a Pathetic Loser he was and then there was the strange relationship he had with Ruka. He looked at her hoping her solution would work.

"What solution? Other then me committing suicide." Kazuya asked and Chizuku chuckled.

"That we actually Date for real...that I become your Real Girlfriend." Chizuku stated and Kazuya gasped staring at her in utter shock. Unable to believe what she had just said.

"WHAT?" Kazuya asked wondering if he had heard her right. She smiled and moved closer placing her forearms over his shoulders. She gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and he melted inside.

"I...I want to be your real Girlfriend...that is...do you love me Kazuya?" Chizuku asked sheepishly and he nodded so quickly that she feared he would dislocate his neck.

"I lied the other day...I fell so far in love with you..that.." Kazuya started to cry and she reached over with her right hand to wipe some of the tears off his cheeks. "It broke my heart when the thought that I might never see you again." He said sobbing and she smiled reassuringly.

"I know you lied...and I will have you know..I fell in love with you too." Chizuku leaned forward and kissed him. A real one. One that she had wanted for so long, ever since she felt that she was about to lose him to Ruka. Parting he stared at her unable to even blink, finally he snapped out of it.

"So what now?" Kazuya asked and Chizuku smiled at him.

"Beats me...I never been in love before..I guess we just love each other." Chizuku stated and then kissed him again.

The End?
