Plot:
This is a complete reversal, where Chizuru Mizuhara is the one that rents Kazuya Kinoshita who happens to be a suave and smooth Rent a Boyfriend. Who is also the number one Amateur Rental in the business. None of his Friends or Family know what he does for Money to fulfill his ambition to become an Actor. While Chizuru appearance is that when she is Chizuru Ichinose. Glasses and pigtails. Though she is also shy, timid and subconscious about herself. Another difference from the show is that she DOES not Masturbate. Though sometimes she does have very specific dreams. So after she is dumped by her first Boyfriend ever because she would not put out, she becomes lonely and in a moment of loneliness rents Kazuya. Thus the story begins. (Authors Note: If I like how this is going. I may make this an extended Story rather then a short one.)
The First Date:
Arriving at the designated rendezvous, Chizuru nervously began to reconsider what she was doing. Renting someone to go out with her. Wondering how badly her friends would tease her if they found out. It was not like she did not get asked out by Guys on the Campus. But she already knew why they asked her out. Believing because she is so reserved that she might be different when together with them. Some Men Magazines that she had seen indicated that the quite, shy and timid ones were known to be secretly sluts. Morons like those on the Campus actually believed that. Her last Boyfriend actually believed that and after a month kept pressuring her to go to bed with him. Finally telling her that she was nothing more then a cock tease and a total disappointment. But she continued to date him since she thought she was in love with that idiot. Then she discovered a week later that he was cheating on her with Mami Nanami. Someone that she thought was a friend. So now in a bit of loneliness decided to Rent a Boyfriend to make herself feel better. Finding out that it was against the Rental Company rules for that any of the Rentals were forbidden to kiss or seek any type of physical intimacy from the client and at the same time the Client was forbidden to seek the same from the Rental. Glancing once more at her Watch, she almost hoped he would stand her up. Then she saw him and he actually smiled at her pleasantly. "Hello I am Kazuya Kinoshita...are you Chizuru Mizuhara?" He asked and bowed slightly.
"Y..Y..Yes I am." Chizuru said nervously and then tried to smile back. But she felt like a complete fool. A desperate and complete fool. Though she had to admit, Kazuya was handsome and he did not seem nervous at all. Like he had done this a lot. He leaned closer.
"Hey it is alright..until you actually pay me..we do not have to go out or do anything. If you want we can just part ways and that would be it." Kazuya told her and Chizuru bit her bottom lip.
"Are you sure? I mean won't you be upset that I...that I wasted your time coming here to meet me?" Chizuru asked and Kazuya chuckled, shaking his head.
"No not at all. At least one out of five first timers cancel as soon as we meet. It is really no big deal." Kazuya glanced over towards a Coffee Hut. "How about this? We go over and both get a Coffee. I will pay for mine and you pay for yours. Then by the time we finish drinking them...if you want to go on the Date you requested then we will go. If not then...then we do part ways." He suggested and Chizuru smiled. Liking that idea and finding herself actually liking him. He was unlike any of the Boys from College. She just felt comfortable being around him. So she agreed and after the Coffee, she paid him and they went on their date.
Later that evening and after she had returned home to her Apartment, Chizuru sat in her chair still amazed on how great the Date was. Unlike any Date she ever had before or likely to have with anyone else. Kazuya was so attentive and kind that she could not believe how wonderful he was. All through the date, he held her hand and smiled at her pleasantly. Never once doing anything that in her opinion was wrong. In fact at the Diner he pulled out her chair for her and not once seemed to even notice the other girls that were there. Though the Girls noticed him. Two or three of them had dropped off slips of paper with their phone numbers on them. What really caused her to swoon was he crumbled them up and tossed them into the Ashtray. Then told one Girl who came over that he was with his Girlfriend. Going next to an Arcade, he won her a Stuffed Teddy Bear and they played some various Games. She had fun and she could not believe how nice it felt to be with him. He listened to her and seemed to know something about Literature which was her Major in College. So all in all she had a gloriously wonderful time. Smiling happily, she opened the Link intending to leave a positive Feedback until she began to read others that had been posted by his other Clients. "It was all an act!" She said angrily. Reading more and more from others. Each one indicated that he almost did the same thing for them. That he treated them the same way. "That all it was..it was an act!" She now felt like a complete and utter idiot. Then decided to give him one Star and typed in her own opinion about him. Regretting it right after.
A few days later Chizuru put in another Date Request. Feeling once more lonely.
Date Number 2:
Chizuru this time arrived at the Coffee Cafe to find Kazuya waiting. He smiled at her as she approached and she sat down across from him. Handing him the Money. She still felt a little upset about the fact that she was no different to him then any of his other Clients. So she did not pay for his Coffee and Pastry when they both placed their order. Telling the Clerk to keep their orders separate. She actually wanted to complain to him face to face. Sure she had posted a one star review and left a very negative feedback. But she always believed it was best when dealing with someone to do it face to face then behind their back. She had been brought up that way. When they left the Coffee Cafe, they walked together down the street and she could not bring herself to even talk to him. She felt embarrassed about leaving that review that way. Finally he lightly pulled her into a secluded spot by a sidewalk interception. "What is the matter with you?" Kazuya asked sternly, his smile and pleasant demeanor gone and Chizuru winced. "I know you gave me a One Star Rating and then left some comments about me that says that you did not like how I tricked you into paying me to go out with you. I did no such thing. I gave you the option to cancel right then in the beginning and I followed your Date itinerary to the letter. Even exceeded it. I have never gotten a One Star and you doing that dropped my Ratings down by an eighth of a point. If you are upset about the date..tell me right after or during." He said in frustration and then sighed audibly. "Guess I am about to get another One Star and bad feedback." Chizuru felt ashamed and she was about to apologize when her Cell phone rang.
"Oh no. I got to go. My Grandmother was just taken to the hospital." Chizuru said as she walked away as fast as she could.
"Hey wait you still have over two hours left." Kazuya said following her. Debating on whether he should just give her a refund and head home. But he felt bad for her that her Grandmother was in the Hospital. His own Grandmother frequented the Hospital as well. So he decided to go with her to at least give her some emotional support from the waiting room. Upon arriving at the same Hospital that own his Grandmother was at, he intended after he would go visit her. He was not ready or prepared for Chizuru's Aunt and Uncle to have him come into her Grandmother's Hospital Room. Sitting in one of the Chairs he wondered if he should just slip out while everyone's attention was on the old lady on the bed.
"I am completely fine. I just felt lightheaded and dizzy." Sayuri Ichinose stated firmly as her Daughter in Law Kyoke Ichinose and her Second Born Son Honji Ichinose fused over her. While her Granddaughter Chizuru stood next to her holding her hand. Though her interest was no longer pandering towards her overprotective and concerned Family. "So who is that Handsome young Man sitting over there?" She asked with a small smile.
"Oh he came here with Chizuru...is he a Friend and Classmate of yours Chizuru?" Kyoke asked and Chizuru did not really know how to answer that. For all she had no idea what he was to her. Sure at the moment he was her Boyfriend. But that was because she had rented him. Before she could think of something that would placate her Family. She found herself blurting out the first thought she had.
"He is my Boyfriend. His name is Kazuya." Chizuru stammered out knowing she had just goofed big time. Kazuya gave her a placid look and then smiled. He stood and bowed slightly and stepped closer.
"Yes..I am Chizuru's Boyfriend. It is a pleasure to meet you finally. I wish it could have been under better circumstances." Kazuya said internally complaining. He had it in his personal rules never meet the Family of the Clients. It never went well. The old woman beamed with delight.
"Chizuru! This is wonderful! For you to hook up with such a handsome hunk!" Her Grandmother Sayuri said excitingly as she grabbed his left hand in her right and basically dragged him closer. Chizuru glanced over towards her Aunt and Uncle to see them too smiling broadly. "Tell me everything! Where you met? How long have you been dating? Is it serious? Have you and Chizuru had sex yet?" The old woman asked consecutively and Chizuru blushed only concerned about that last question.
"Grandma! We have just started Dating and it is inappropriate for..." Chizuru blushed even brighter feeling completely embarrassed.
"Poppycock...the only way to keep a Boy like this is to have sex. A lot of sex. Then after some time, you two can get married and give me some Great Grand Kids." Sayuri said with a huge smile, still gripping Kazuya's hand tightly.
"No Maam she is right. Our relationship is still new. It is better that way so it can grow into something better." Kazuya said and Sayuri smiled over at him. Giving his hand a tight squeeze.
"Oh I like him Chizuru...a lot and please call me Grandma." Sayuri said and a moment later Chizuru's Aunt and Uncle had to leave to get back to work. Though the Matriarch of their Family barely acknowledged or saw them leave. Her complete interest was on Kazuya. Then a thought came to the old woman. "I got to go tell the others about this. My Chizuru landing herself a complete and utter stud." She said excitingly and got out of bed. Before Chizuru could stop her or protest. She turned towards Kazuya.
"I am so sorry about this. I should have thought of something else." Chizuru said feeling guilty for dragging Kazuya into this. He shook his head.
"No that is alright. What did she mean tell the others?" Kazuya asked with some slight concern. Chizuru gestured outside the Room.
"My Grandmother is here a lot and she has made some friends that are here." Chizuru replied and Kazuya began to panic. Quickly going to the door, he cracked it open to hear not only Sayuri but his own Grandmother coming down the hallway.
"Oh Crap. I need to get out of here!" Kazuya said as he shut the door and Chizuru looked at him confused. "My Grandmother is here and she does not know about my job or me being a Rental Boyfriend."
"This is bad. What are we going to do?" Chizuru asked and Kazuya reopened the door. Gesturing for her to come with him. Suspecting that if Chizuru was left, she would be pelted with a whole slew of questions and she probably would tell them his full name. At that point his own Grandmother would easily be able to figure out that it was him. Ducking into another room, they heard Sayuri and several others come down the hall and she protested that the two were gone.
Inside the Empty Hospital Room, Kazuya debated on jumping out the Window. Not too concerned that they were on the fifth floor. Broken legs seemed more acceptable then having his Grandmother Nagomi find out that he was a Rental Boyfriend. Before he could fully debate the idea. One of the Old Women was about to open the door. Thinking fast, he grabbed Chizuru's hand and jumped onto the Hospital Bed pulling the Sheet over both of them. Laying there with Chizuru's on her back and with him on top of her and in between her legs. He had to really concentrate on keeping little Kazuya down. Using images that would guarantee that he would not become aroused. Such as a mental image of Woopie Goldberg naked. Along with others, with a deep sigh he was able to control himself. Unfortunately the same could not be said for Chizuru. When she moaned, he glared at her. "Hey...keep your voice down. They might hear you." He whispered and she bit her bottom lip. Trying to do just that.
"I am trying." Chizuru whispered back, but she was having real problems. She never had any boy where he was and she could not help the sensations it caused her to have. Tingling sensations that caused her to feel aroused. Closing her eyes, she tried not to think about the position they were in. But it still felt good.
"Are you alright?" Her Grandmother's Voice asked and Kazuya swallowed heavily.
"Yes...Yes I am fine." Kazuya said in response. Disguising his voice enough so that the old woman would not think it was him.
"Okay...hey did you happen to see a handsome young man and a plain looking brown haired girl with pigtails and glasses?" Sayuri asked and Kazuya inhaled softly.
"I think I saw them leave the Hospital." Kazuya replied and that was all it took. Sayuri bolted from the room. Informing the others that the two were on the run. Letting out a deep sigh of relief. He slumped and was about to get up. Then looked down to see Chizuru staring up at him. She moved her hands from his side up to the back of his neck and began to pull him down towards her. Tilting her head slightly to the right. He burst from the bed, knowing exactly what she just tried to do. "Oh Hell No!" He growled angrily. She looked at him in shock. "Listen I am a Rental Boyfriend. There is nothing real between us. You are not even my type. Try that again and I will report you to my Agency. Understand." He stated sternly and she lowered her gaze to the floor. Now really feeling ashamed and embarrassed. Right up to when her and his Grandmothers entered the room.
The whole situation turned worse as the two Grandmothers discovered that each of the Grandchildren were in a relationship. Which pleased them both. Already discussing the possibility of the two becoming serious and getting married. To Kazuya it was a disaster. A complete and utter disaster. Now that his Grandmother had met Chizuru, he had a feeling that she would really lay on the guilt trip onto him. Since he had not really had any type of relationships with a Girl and did not have any Girlfriends before. He dated a lot in high school, but never had a Girlfriend. Now that she had met Chizuru. She was ecstatic that he finally got himself one. Within a short period of time, he and Chizuru were able to leave the Hospital.
"I am so sorry about that." Chizuru said as they stood outside.
"It did seem a little strange how...pleased your Grandmother was that you have a Boyfriend." Kazuya commented. Really finding it strange. For Chizuru had the potential to be a very beautiful girl. If she got rid of the over sized glasses and the ponytails. Then dressed a little differently. He thought yes she could be very very attractive.
"In High School, I found out that most Boys only wanted to go out with me or ask me out because...well how I looked. Not for who I am. This persona is who I really am inside. So I decided to go with this look." Chizuru explained and Kazuya could understand completely. Though he was not about to tell her that the real Kazuya Kinoshita. The one that was at College was a complete opposite of what he was now. "Then I met Tenjo Chin and I thought that he liked me for me." She lowered her gaze to the ground. Shaking her head. "No he thought that because I am like this that secretly I was...well easy. Later I found out that he was cheating on me with one of my friends. So we broke up. After about a week I got lonely, so I rented you." She said and again felt embarrassed about having to do that. HE smiled.
"I hear that a lot from my other Clients. Or something similar. That they are dating someone and it just does not work out. So later feeling lonely they Rent a boyfriend to go out with them. So don't think you are the only one that does that." Kazuya told her and she felt better. "But we need to do something about this situation with our respective Grandmothers. I cannot have my Grandmother find out what I do for a living. So I think it might be wise that in about a week we tell them we broke up. That means I also don't think you should rent me again." Chizuru nodded with agreement. It made sense, even though it would disappoint her Grandmother some. But eventually her Grandmother would forget all about Kazuya. With that he left and after several minutes she did as well. Heading back to her Apartment.
Accidental Rendezvous:
Walking with her three friends. Sumi, Shimbo and Karanaka on Campus. Chizuru thoughts were not really on what the other three girls were talking about. Though Sumi not really talked. More like whispered. She thought it funny that Sumi was so cute but still had the same problems with boys that she did. Most boys hit on her friend constantly, but due to that Sumi was really really shy. She never went out with any of them. While Shmbo and Karanaka did not have either of her or Sumi's problem. Both had steady Boyfriends. Without realizing it Chizuru almost bumped straight on into someone. Then looked to see who it was to apologize, she gasped. The boy before her looked almost like Kazuya Kinoshita. The Boy she had rented to be her Boyfriend. He quickly left with the two boys that he was with. "Do you know him, Chizuru?" Shimbo asked and she shook her head wondering if that was him or not. This one was dressed and his overall appearance was completely different. His hair was not styled the same way and he did not seem as confident. So she was not entirely sure.
"No. He just looked familiar. Maybe I saw him in Class or something." Chizuru said looking once more back at the departing Boy and his Friends. Later as she walked down a hallway alone, heading for the Literary Research Library. she was not ready for someone to pull her into a vacant room. "What are you doing here?" The boy in Striped pants and orange shirt asked sternly. "There is nothing going on between us so I ask again what are you doing here?"
"Hey it is you. Kazuya Kinoshita." Chizuru said in shock. He nodded.
"Yeah it is me. You go to School here?" Kazuya asked and she nodded. He threw his hands into the air in frustration. "Great! Just what I don't need. Listen I do not want anyone to know about my Job. I do not want it going around that I am some type of gigolo. So do not tell anyone." He sternly looked at her. "This completely obliterates my strategy. Okay from now on..you do not know me. When you see me on Campus you are to completely ignore me because I am going to do that same." He went to the door. "Also you are to never rent me again. Consider this that we broke up now instead of later." With that he left and Chizuru sighed deeply. Then went back to her Apartment.
About to take her Trash out, Chizuru opened the door and there right next door was Kazuya about to do the same. He saw her and gasped. Then went back inside his Apartment. She went to his door and knocked. "Are you stalking me Chizuru? Because that is a crime." He said from within his Apartment and she blushed.
"No. It is just a coincidence that I live next door to you. I swear I am not stalking you." Chizuru said to the door hoping that he heard her.
"What I said still goes. We may have to be neighbors. But don't think for a minute that there is anything else between us." Kazuya said to her then turned on his Television. Indicating that the conversation was over. Back in her own Apartment, she was in shock that she was living right next door to him.
"The odds are astronomical this would happen." Chizuru whispered still stunned that somehow she was living right next door to him. When her Cell Phone rang, she answered it because it was her Grandmother. Then regretted doing so. Because her Grandmother was coming over for a visit and wanted her to have Kazuya be there as well. Not taking no for an answer. In Desperation she went to his door and knocked. He cracked it open.
"What do you want?" Kazuya asked rudely and Chizuru blushed.
"My Grandmother is coming over and wants you...well here." Chizuru pointed at her Apartment and Kazuya shook his head.
"Not happening. For one it is against Agency Rules and my own personal Rules. I am prohibited form going inside your residence or you to come in mine. I am also not allowed to go to any hotels or motels. Didn't you read over the Rules?" Kazuya asked about to shut the door.
"I will pay you double if you just come over for an hour." Chizuru said pleading with him and not too ashamed to drop to her knees and beg.
"Like I said not going to happen. Just tell her we broke up and that is why I can't come." Kazuya shut the door and looked out the keyhole. He felt bad about telling her no. But he could not let himself be pulled into another situation like at the Hospital. No he needed to end this fiasco here and now. Sitting down at his Table, he opened his Laptop and began to work on his Paper that was due by the end of the week. In the oven was his Dinner. He had made Lasagna. His Mothers recipe. With the Balcony door partially open he could not help but hear when Sayuri Ichinose arrived. Within moments Chizuru was once more knocking on his door. This time she was begging him.
"Please. Please. Please. Come over. Just for a few minutes. I will never ask you again for anything. I promise." Chizuru said in anguish. Practically begging him and Kazuya shook his head.
"Sorry I can't it would only promote this situation and make it even more difficult for us later." With that Kazuya shut the door and really felt like a complete asshole. Then unintentionally overheard Sayuri and Chizuru from next door. Which made him feel even worse then a complete asshole.
To be continued.
