Note: SO SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! I got so busy with homework and make-up work that I didn't edit for a little bit, then there was my Valentine's Day fic, and then I wanted to put ALL of the Regulars' bidding experiences in one chapter so it took a while. I hope this freakishly-long (at least compared to usual) chapter makes up for it!

--------------------------------------------------

Previously...

"Hello, I'm Tezuka Kunimitsu. Welcome to this year's fundraiser, and auction. It's called, 'Date the Regulars...and other sports' team members...'"

"DATE YOUR SENPAIS!" a person yelled from the crowd.

"I'm captain of the Tennis team here at Seigaku, and I'll be your host today. We have some great guys for you to meet." he continued, reading off the note card he was given by Sumire. She also told him to smile...but obviously, he didn't. "First up is one of my fellow teammates,-"

------------------------------------

"...Kawamara Takashi, also known as Taka-san." Tezuka said, showing no emotion, as usual.
Behind the stage were the regulars, waiting for their turn. Some were excited (aka, Eiji and Momo), and some...weren't so much...(-cough- Kaidoh -cough- Ryoma -cough-...Excuse me I need a drink...)

"Good luck, Taka!" Momoshiro cheered quietly (oh, who am I kidding...it's Momoshiro...when has he EVER been quiet?) as Taka walked on stage.

"H...Hi...my name is...K...Kaw...amara Takashi...and I'm a regular on the Seigaku tennis team...nice to meet all of you." he managed to say. He was a little bit nervous...

"Aww he's so cute!" one girl cheered.

"And so sweet!" another cried.

"Kawamara! Tell more about yourself...!" Sumire whispered from behind the stage.

"My...father owns a sushi restaurant. I love sushi and...Someday I want to be a chef. The date includes a trip to my dad's restaurant, and all the food is free."
"He's killing himself out there...Time to bring out plan B!" Sumire winked at Oishi, who walked on stage and handed Kawamara his tennis racquet.

"Oh, sorry...thank you Oishi..." Kawamara said, taking his racquet. "BURNING!!!!! OH BABY!!!!" Some of the girls in the crowd screamed in shock.

"$50!!!!" one of the girls in the crowd shouted! "I want a strong, forceful man!"
"Poor Kawamara-senpai he's so sweet, but because he's so forceful when he gets his racquet, he's going to get a really scary girl!" Sakuno said in the back of the crowd.

"Hey Sakuno-chan!" Nanako said coming out from the crowd.

"Ah! Nanako-chan! What are you doing here?"
"I came to see my cousin, and to make sure my uncle doesn't do anything perverted...but I can't seem to find him."
"Hm...My obaa-chan said he had a special job, but I don't know where he went...sorry."
"Ah, no problem. Hey, is that the guy who's always so sweet and kind when he visits Ryoma?"
"Probably...he's a little...um...hyper when he gets his tennis racquet." Sakuno said.

"No one knows why...it's weird, but he's usually really polite..." Tomoka added.
"$100" one of the girls shouted. The girls didn't even realize that the bids had been going up.

"$120!" Nanako said. Sakuno and Tomoka looked at her like she was crazy. She must've noticed, because she then said, "Well, he's so sweet and I'd feel bad if he had to date some weirdo, plus I'd like to make a donation to the school...and lastly...it's my uncle's money." She gave them a wink.

"Going once, going twice, and SOLD for $120!" Eiji yelled through the megaphone, behind the stage.
"Eiji, give that back to Ryuzaki-sensei now!" Oishi commanded.

Nanako walked on stage, to find a startled Kawamara, (mostly because his racquet had been taken away). Sumire escorted them to the special exit when she wouldn't have to deal with all the disappointed fan girls.

-------------------------------------------

Back on stage...

"And...Next up we have..."-(drum roll in the background...provided by Eiji and Momoshiro banging on the table...)
"You two better stop that now or you'll get a detention!" Sumire whisper-yelled.

"And 50 laps!" Tezuka mumbled, just loud enough for them to hear, which seemed to shut them up...for a while anyway.

"As I was saying...Next we have, Inui Sadaharu." Tezuka said, still keeping his emotionless exterior.

"Tezuka, I can't go yet, I have to collect Ii data on the others..."
"Go." Tezuka muttered, as Momoshiro, Eiji, and Sumire pushed him on the stage.
"Uh...Hello, my name is Inui. I play tennis, and am quite good. I am very good at analyzing other people and figuring stuff out. My IQ is above 160, and I enjoy collecting data. Some call me a "super-genius," but I think that's an exaggeration. Plain genius is just fine. I am al-" Inui continued.
"Inui! That's enough! Just describe the date now!" Sumire whisper-yelled again. It felt like she had been doing a lot of that today.
"My date includes a walk to the park..."
"Aw..." a few girls mumbled.
"-where were will be analyzing the lives of insects, particularly green ones, so we can analyze their pigments in relation to the substances which they consume." Inui added.

"ew..." some members of the crowd added.

"Inui! That's no way to get a date!" Sumire said.

"Eiji's coming to save the day! Nya!" Eiji cheered, walking on stage. "Hiya, everybody! I'm Kikumaru Eiji! Nya! Anyway, before you all bid soooo much on me, I'd just like to say a few thinks about my buddy here. Inui is really smart and funny! I mean really funny! He knows how to get a laugh out of anyway! Also he makes juice...um it's really tasty! Just ask Fuji!" Just then, Fuji walked on stage.

"If I could only drink one thing, all the time, it'd be Inui's juiced, preferably his penal tea." He smiled. Then Momoshiro joined the gang.
"There you have it folks! He was just kidding about those bugs and stuff...he likes moonlight walks in the park. Yeah, and he's got a picnic planned. So should we start the bidding?!" Momoshiro asked.

"I bit $50 for Fuji!" a red haired girl cheered.
"Nya! We're bidding on Inui here! Not Fuji...however if you want to bid on me...that's a different story..." Eiji replied. Then Sumire walked on the stage again.

"Ah, $500, do we have anybody who'd like to add to that?"
"Ryuzaki-sensei!" Oishi added in.

"Alright, alright...save that money for later. Fuji will be coming up shortly." Sumire sighed; pushing the 3 other boys off the stage, leaving only Inui and Tezuka. Eiji just pouted in response.

"I BID $20!" a macho, muscular, manly, tan girl (at least they think she's a girl...) shouted.

"I bid $30..." a petite girl with long blonde hair, and glasses said quietly.

"$40!"
"...$50" the blonde girl gulped.
"Fine...take him...besides...I'm saving my money for Oishi." She said, winking to him. He gulped in response, and the two girls from before (the ones that had been fighting over Momoshiro) just pouted. The small girl then proceeded to the stage where Inui was writing in his notebook. Once again, Sumire escorted them outside. Not out of fear from fan girls, but mostly because she didn't want to get near that weird muscular man/woman. She had decided to call him/her an it. That was better for classifying. The ironic part was, Inui had done the same thing in his notebook.

"Inui, you're not taking that thing with you..."
"Ii Data." Was all Inui had to say.

----------------------------------------------

"Next is another one of the regulars, Kiku-"
"Nya! I already introduced myself!" Eiji walked on stage, interrupting Tezuka.

"As you know, I'm Kikumaru, Eiji. My favorite word is Nya! Nya, see? Hoi, hoi. I like tennis, and burgers, and I am part of the golden pair with Oishi! One thing I don't like is when a certain sophomore makes me pay for all of his burgers because he's too cheap...Not to mention any names...Momoshiro...but I don't like freeloaders!"
"Kikumaru, shut up and talk about the date." Sumire whisper-yelled again. She was beginning to get a headache from doing that so much.

"Aw, Nya! My date includes a choice between going to get a burger, or something more romantic like a walk in the park, which I'd like to mention that someone, Momoshiro, stole my idea for Inui. But I love helping people. Especially in relationships! Nya! I especially like helping my ochibi with his love life! Hoi hoi!"

Backstage, Ryoma was hitting his head repeatively against the wall. Momoshiro couldn't help but grin at this, although he wasn't very happy with Eiji for all the comments about him. 'How dare he call me a freeloader...!'

"Eiji! This is not about Ryoma. I don't think you're being very polite!" Oishi whisper-yelled. 'He has been spending too much time with Ryuzaki-sensei.' Eiji thought.

"Nya! Let the bidding begin!" Eiji cheered anxiously.
"$25!"
"$40!"
"45!"
"$50!"
"$60!"
"65!"
"Anyone else? It's for a good cause..." Sumire asked through the megaphone

"75!!!!"
"85!"
That was the final bid. With that, a girl with long, flowing blue-black hair walked up and claimed Eiji. And off they went to their date. (Incase you were wondering, they chose to get burgers to go, and take them to the park. And believe me, the girl who bid on him gets more interesting.)
-----------------------------------------------------

Momoshiro came after. He didn't really have much to say. "Hey! I'm Momoshiro Takashi...not the same Momoshiro that Eiji was talking about..." he flashed an innocent smile. "I love food, especially burgers, and I love tennis...my date is a trip to a burger diner. They have the BEST food. So...you can bid now!"
"I bid $40!" a girl shouted.
"$50!" some guy from the crowd shouted.
"$55!" another guy shouted.
"$56!"

"$57!"

"$58!"

"$59!" The two guys continued to argue, and Ryoma couldn't help, but crack up behind stage.
"Um...Incase I didn't mention before...I'm straight." Momoshiro chimed in. Just then, the two guys stopped bidding and sat down with a disappointed sigh. Ryoma kept on laughing though. Why? Because Fuji had taped the whole thing. Apparently regular cameras just weren't doing it for him these days, so he'd switched to a video camera. 'Blackmail. Maybe next time you'll think before you call me Ochibi...' was all Ryoma could think. Now he just needed the tape from Fuji.

"$60" a girl shouted.

"$65..." Another girl said. Momoshiro looked in the crowd and saw that it was Ann.
"$75!" a tall blonde girl yelled. There was a pause for about 10 seconds when Sumire said.

"$75? Anyone else? Going once. Going twice. Sold for $75!" Fuji turned the camera towards her as she said this.

"Ryuzaki-sensei is really getting into this." He muttered so quietly that only Oishi and Ryoma heard it. The blonde girl walked on stage, but all Oishi, Fuji, and Ryoma looked at was Ann. They could've sworn they saw her grunt. She was definitely holding back a pout, at least. Momoshiro noticed this and smiled. He liked being wanted. No, correction, he loved being wanted. Instead of leaving he and his "date" waited for Ryoma. And purposely, they waited by Ann.

"Momoshiro-senpai is really cruel..." Katsuo said next to Ryoma. Kachiro and Horio just nodded in agreement, while Ryoma just sighed. His senpai was really immature.

-------------------------------------------------

Fuji was next. He just sat there smiling for the first half of a minute, then said, "Hi, I'm Shusuke Fuji. I like photography, and I have just recently took an interest in making videos. Mostly of the people around me." He gave a small smile. "I have an older sister, and a younger brother named Yuuta. I guess that's all." He stopped, since he had obviously had nothing else to say, and did something that no one expected. He opened his eyes. Once the girls saw his beautiful blue eyes, they were in shock.
"...2...2...$20." One of the stunned girls said.

"$50!" another girl shouted.

"Who would've thought that Kawamara-senpai would be the one who earned the most money?" Kachiro asked.

"Wait. It's not over yet." Oishi grinned. "Tezuka still hasn't gone, and Fuji isn't even done yet. Plus there's still others left." (A/N: I know that's probably something Inui or Fuji would say, but since they're not exactly there right now...I just chose Oishi)
"$70!" a girl shouted.

"75! I bid $75!" All of the regulars (that were still there, including Momoshiro) were shocked to see the one bidding was once again Ann.
"80!" another girl shouted.
"$90!"

"$100!!!" Ann finally shouted. That was the final bid, and she won. Momoshiro snorted with disgust. Ryoma noticed this and smirked behind the stage. "Mada mada dane." He mumbled.
----------------------------------------

Sakuno and Tomoka went to find their friend, Ann. Once they saw her, and her "so-called date," they went up to her.

"Ann-chan!" Sakuno said, smiling.

"Sakuno-chan! Tomoka-chan! Ah, how are you?"
"Good. If you don't mind me asking, why did you bid for Shusuke-senpai and not Momoshiro-senpai?" Sakuno whispered. Ann just responded with a small smirk and said, "I'll tell you a little later..."

--------------------------------------------

"Next is Shuichiro Oishi." Sumire said through the megaphone as he walked on stage. She was tired of Tezuka's emotionless exterior. It was wearing down the crowd. Oishi gave a big smile to the crowd.

"Hi, my name is Shuichiro Oishi, and I am co-captain of the tennis team, and part of the Golden Pair with Eiji. Some other things I enjoy are swimming and bowling. Um..." He glanced in the crowd to see Momoshiro glaring at Fuji. 'I have to stop this...no...I cant...must avoid motherliness...must...' "I...my date includes a...trip to the..."
"What on earth is going on with that boy?" Sumire asked to no one in particular. Ryoma knew, but it wasn't like he was going to tell anyone.

"the...burger diner with some of my other friends, and...bowling...Oh, Momoshiro give it a rest already!" he shouted. Everyone changed their glance over to him. Momoshiro just gave an innocent smile. 'Just keep smiling...just keep smiling...'

"Uh...on that note, oh let's just bid already!" Sumire sighed through the megaphone

"$10!"
"$20!"
"$30!"
"$45!"
"$50!" the two girls from before shouted.
"$60!" the macho blonde girl yelled. It then became a battle between the two...well three of them. Usually, when it's two against one, the two win, but when one is super muscular and just plain creepy, you really can't make a judgment.
"$70!"
"$80!"
"90!"
"$100!"
"$130!"

"$140!!!"
"$150!" the two girls yelled. That was all the money they had combined.

"$150...? Sold for $150!" Sumire yelled through the megaphone.

------------------------------------------

"Next is the one, the only, freshman regular, RYOMA ECHIZEN!" Sumire cheered through the megaphone. It was hard to tell who was more excited, her, or the fan girls. Even Momoshiro was getting a little hyper about this.

"...Sakuno-chan...It's Ryoma-sama's turn. Have you made up you're mind?" Sakuno gripped the money in her hand and then laid it on her lap. She honestly had no clue. Momoshiro had watched this little show, and found it quite amusing. 'If only Echizen were here...it would make operation GRTAHLS a lot easier...'

"Ryoma! Say something!" Sumire whisper-yelled to the tennis prodigy who had been standing on stage for the past minute saying nothing.
"Hoi. My name is Ryoma Echizen. I play tennis." Fuji couldn't help but giggle at the freshman's lack of enthusiasm. He reminded him of a certain buchou...Sumire slapped her head. She should've known better. He was nothing like his father when it came to girls, and to be honest, she had always sort of admired him for that...until now.

"Say something about the date!"
"We'll go get burgers with Momo." He said bluntly. Horio, Kachiro and Katsuo just looked at him like he was the biggest idiot on the planet. Which to be honest, at this moment, he probably was. Ryoma just shrugged. Still, no matter how much he tried to get the girls uninterested, he always had fan girls. Always.

"$40!"
"NO! MY RYOMA-SAMA! $50!"
"Yours? I don't think so! $55!" another girl shouted. And before they knew it, there was a cat fight in the middle of the auditorium, and a prince who couldn't care less on stage. He glanced over to find a certain pig-tailed girl. 'There. What's with her? She looks a little depressed...I'll never understand women...' Ryoma just shrugged once again.

"Sakuno-chan? Sakuno! It's now or never, do you really want to see some other girl win him?"
"$60!"

"Tomo-chan..."
"$65!"
"Please, bid for me." Sakuno whispered.
"WHAT?!" Tomoka replied.
"Please...I don't want any other girl to go out with him. I don't want to risk it. I trust you. If he went out with anyone else, I'd want it to be you. Please...please..." Sakuno mumbled. Tomoka didn't second guess her. She was her best friend after all, and Tomoka didn't want to see Sakuno upset, and nothing would make her more upset then seeing Ryoma with another girl.
"$70!"
"$80!" Tomoka yelled. She wasn't going to loose. She couldn't. This was for Sakuno.
"$90!" some other fan girl screamed.
"$100!"
"120!"
"125!"
"145!" Tomoka yelled. 'Great...I saved up all that money from babysitting and now it's gone in a matter of 5 minutes. Oh who am I kidding...it's a date with Ryoma-sama! Besides...the extra $15 is Sakuno's.'
She pranced on stage like she owned the place, but she did own Ryoma...at least for the next few hours...and that was close enough. She guided him through the crowd to Momoshiro, who was by Ann (what a coincidence...), who was next to Sakuno. This certainly wasn't so bad for Ryoma. He got to watch his annoying loud mouthed friend have the girl of his dreams taken away by their senpai and tensei, and got to be by Sakuno. The only way this could've been better would be if he was eating popcorn, about to go on a date with Sakuno, and not her noisy friend, and he had just beaten his Oyaji, but hey...Who said that wouldn't happen in the future?
Sakuno sighed with relief. All of her friends had dates, and here she was, sitting down hopelessly, while her best friend went out with the guy she liked. 'It could be worse though...what if another girl would've gotten him...well at least then you wouldn't have to hear about how they had a great time without you...'

----------------------------------------

"Next is..."
"I'm Satoshi Horio. I have two years of tennis experience and I..."
"yawn..." Tomoka said, putting her hand over her mouth. She looked at the girl sitting in front of her. She was crying. "Oh, come on, he's annoying, but not THAT bad..."

"No..it's not that..." the girl muttered between her sobs. "My boyfriend just left me...for one of the girls who lost in the auction."
"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Tomoka said in an almost-caring voice. "Hey...here's $20. You can use it to bid on that guy on stage. I heard he likes you...also he is a GREAT listener and would make your boyfriend jealous..."
"Really? Wow you're so nice. What did I do to deserve this?"
"Believe me, you deserve even better..." Tomoka smiled. 'much better...'
"$20!" the girl shouted.
"and $20 it is!" Sumire said, leaving no time for other bids. She didn't want to listen to him any longer. 'Besides...I doubt there are any more bids...'

"Talk about killing two birds with one stone...I got Horio and that girl to shut up at the same time! And all for just $20! This must be my lucky day." Tomoka cheered. Sakuno had to giggle. Her friend was a little cruel, but still entertaining. Even Ryoma had to let out a smirk. He was impressed by the way she handled that. Especially because she got Horio to stop talking. He knew she had to have a purpose, and know he knew what it was.

---------------------------------------------

"And now, another non-regular, Kachiro Kato!" Sumire cheered, pushing the small boy on stage.
"Uh...hi. I'm Kachiro. My father owns a tennis club, and I am a member of Seigaku's tennis club as well, but I'm not on the team...I am also a freshman. I am a good student, and I try hard. My date includes going with some of the regulars to the burger diner..."
some girls sighed. They really didn't want to go to the burger diner with a guy all around his buddies. 'Why did almost all of the regulars and now a non-regular have to go to the same place?' 'Couldn't they see that the girls wanted them all to themselves?' were some of the thoughts from the girls in the crowd, and Sumire. When no one started to bid, Sakuno felt a pang of guilt. 'Poor Kachiro...I can't let him go through this...he's my friend!' With that she grabbed her purse and said, "$35!" it was all she had. She kind of hoped that no one out-bid her. She didn't want to stay home all night and hear about the great time Tomoka had at 11:00 at night. She wanted to be happy. Was that so much to ask? Apparently not, because she won.

---------------------------------------------

Nanjiro read one of the magazines he had brought along. (He always has a spare). He had been so bored lately that he started to fall asleep...and ended up talking in his sleep.
"Ah...ah...right there yeah that's the spot...Grace, you really give grace-ful massages...haha...no I'm not the funniest man in the world...haha...only the third...okay, okay maybe second..."
Meanwhile, a certain dog who appeared to be amused with this, got an idea. She licked his face to try and get him to wake up.
"Well..." Nanjiro said, smiling, "Seems like you're even better with face massages..."
Then, Muffy got bored and decided to walk on his face...which was a bit painful ...especially considering her nails hadn't been clipped in a while.
"Ah...no...Nanako...i wasn't cheating on Rinko...no...stop the hitting...NO NOT THE MAGAZINES...NO!!! I'll do anything! ANYTHING!!!!!"
Obviously the dog was overly amused by this, because she managed to pee on Nanjiro's robe...
"What's this...I'm wet...I wasn't swimming?!" Nanjiro said as he started to rub his eyes. As he opened them and looked down to a very amused dog, and looked at his robe, he slowly put two and two together.
"Why you little-!"

--------------------------------------------

"Ah! Echizen, looks like you're girlfriend left you..." Momoshiro started.
"Shut up." Ryoma said, in a voice even colder then ever.

"Well now I see why!"

"Shut...up."
"Ah, Sakuno-chan! Kachiro-san!" Tomoka said in her voice as hyper as ever.
"There you are, Tomo-chan." Sakuno said with a smile on her face. Soon her smile turned into a confused look as she saw Ryoma glaring at her. He just pulled his head over his eyes in response.
"Hey, Momo, where's your girlfriend? Or is she outside, making out with Fuji?" Momoshiro had to use every inch of self control he had not to punch Ryoma in the face. He looked around for Ann though, and saw her talking to Fuji. 'Thank God they're just talking...but what about?'

------------------------------------

"So...I presume you want to make Momoshiro jealous, ne?" Fuji whispered to Ann.
"Yeah...I'm sorry to drag you into this." Ann sighed.
"No, don't be. I am very happy that I get to be a part of this..." Fuji smiled evilly. "And I'll try my best to help you."
"Really?...I mean no, that'd be too much to ask. I really shouldn't have even tried...I'm sorry." Ann looked to the ground, feeling ashamed. Fuji opened his eyes and put his hands on her shoulder.
"Please. I want to do this. It's a favor...for a friend." He smiled lightly as she looked into his deep blue eyes.
"A...arigato Fuji-senpai..."
"Please, just call me Fuji."
"Hai."

------------------------------------------

(Sorry for skipping Katsuo, but because he's such a minor character, (at least in this story) I decided to leave him out so I could publish this quicker...I hope no one is disappointed...)
--------------------------------------------

"And...our next contestant...I mean auctioneer...is...Kaidoh Kaoru!"
"Fshhhhhh..." he muttered walking on stage slowly.

"AH IT'S MAMUSHI'S TURN!" Momoshiro yelled from the crowd.
"What did you call me?!"
"What do you think, Mamushi?"
"Shut up you baka!"
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?"
"You heard me!"
"You wanna fight Mamushi?!"
"Boys, boys! BREAK IT UP!" Sumire yelled, walking on stage. The girls in the crowd awed in admiration as they watched the boys pout in furiousness because their fight was broken up. They were all gushing over the "bad boys."
"$30!"
"$40!"
"$45!"
"$50!"
"$55!" a beautiful blonde girl yelled out.

"Going once...going twice...and sold for $55!" Sumire yelled. Momoshiro's jaw dropped as he saw the beautiful girl come up to the stage.

"...But..but...huh...hm...huh?" he tried to speak. Kaidoh just glared at him with a sense of pride.

--------------------------------------------------

"Ugh...you evil little brat of a dog!" Nanjiro yelled, changing into some of the clothes left in the boy's locker room. Let's just say...he wasn't taking the previous events with everyone's favorite golden retriever, so well.

--------------------------------------------------

"And now to close up the night is our host, and captain of the team, Kunimitsu Tezuka!" Sumire cheered through the megaphone. She was so glad this was almost over. She was about to loose her voice.
"...Hi..i'm Tezuka. I'm a 3rd yeah are Seigaku, and in class 1. I am also captain of Seigaku's tennis team (wow that was informative). My date includes a trip to the movies to see whichever movie of your choice..."
"$50!"
"$60!"

"$70!"
"$80!"

"$100!"
"$110!"
"$130!"another girl shouted. Tezuka barely blinked.

"$140!"
"$150!"
"$160!"
"$165!"the last girl yelled as all the girls in the crowd glared in envy of her as she walked up to the stage. And to everyone's amazement...well, Inoue's anyway, it was none other then, Shiba (the photographer for the tennis magazine). She had a wide smile conquering over all the frowns and pouts of the girls who lost to her, as she latched on to Tezuka's arm.
---------------------------------

"Thank you all so much! We have a grand total of...$1000!" Sumire announced. 'Even a million dollars wouldn't be enough to make up for what I've been through tonight...'

"Next...we have our special auction prize, the last item up for bidding, this adorable golden-"
"man! Hello everybody! I'm Echizen Nanjiro! I enjoy long walks on the beach and-"
"Nanjiro! Where is the dog?"
"Huh? Oh yeah...that brat...in the room where I left her..."
"What?! I asked you to watch her...not stick her in a room and leave her there!"

"Well you didn't tell me she was going to pee on me!"
"She what?!" Sumire looked at him for a hint of sarcasm, but when she saw he was serious, she started cracking up. Her eyes started to water as she continued to laugh.
"Hey...you old hag...it's not that funny...HEY! We're still on stage here!" Nanjiro yelled at her.
"Huh? Oh right! Well let's go get that dog already..." she whispered, handing the mike to one of the volunteers. "Stall." She whispered to him, and he nodded back.
"Um...hey...you old hag...you might want to see this." Nanjiro said, as Sumire approached from behind him.
"NANJIRO!" she yelled as she looked at the door to the room she had left him in charge of, and saw the door open, and the room empty.

----------------------------------------

(A/N):

Wow I seriously didn't plan for that to work out to be $1000 perfectly, but it did. Lucky, I guess. Anyway...No offense to anyone who is gay, I just thought it'd be funny to see Momoshiro's reaction. If it was at all offensive, please tell me and I will . Also, sorry for not using yen, but I didn't really know how to convert it exactly, and I figured American dollars would be just as good.

And the next chapter will be sure to involve more of Operation GRTAHLS, the Regulars' dates, and the case of the missing puppy!

Baka- idiot
mamushi- viper
hai- yes

Arigato- thank you
