Rating: PG-13

Disclaimer: I wish I owned them. They'd get more pages, but sadly they are at CLAMP's whim … geez, I still can't believe their kiss scene got cut short.
Summary: It's Kakei's first day of college and already he's lost and embarrassed in front of his entire freshman class, but at least the burly senior who embarrased him at Todai was hot.
Warning: Oh poor Kakei-boy.

Chapter 3: A Lunch to Remember

Kakei didn't know what to feel while riding on the back of Chiaka's motorbike. Sure, he sort of felt attracted to Saiga—no, no he did not! To kiss him like that when he was least expecting it ... this was all happening a little too fast.

The ride was short and they didn't talk much. He already knew where they were going. Although it was quite odd that he knew this slighted information, he was still surprised that his vision had only been fleeting and not as lengthy as it normally was under control. What could be the matter? But nevertheless, he sensed the trip wasn't going to bode too well with Kakei even if he was getting to know Chi better. (1)

They were at a small cafe. It was quite cute Aiji had to admit. It was like your standard cafe with the dark mahogany wood lining on the exterior's white concrete. These walls were lined with small white and red colored booths and small mahogany tables scattered all around. It was quite a busy café, but it gave off a peaceful air of light talk and peace with one self.

They walked into the small shop and gave their sandwich and salad orders to the girl behind the counter, which gave the cafe a more hip feel than to be waited on by a waiter.

The clerk smiled and said, "Right, we'll bring out your orders momentarily,"

"Thanks!" And they left. Thankfully, they didn't have to hear the girl behind the counter say, "Aww, they're so cute!" (2)

They took some seats in an empty booth and talked. Mainly about nothing, but it was fun to them all the same. One moment they would be talking about the school, next they could be talking about music.

"So, do you like Utada Hikaru?" She asked brightly, while thinking at the same time, Ahh, keep the conversation going, keep the conversation going! Since he's so late hopefully he just won't show up! Even if it is disappointing, HE was the one who set this up. I'm sorry Kakei-kun! Forgive me if you get angry!

Kakei took a sip of his Italian soda (3) before speaking, "My sister let me listen to her copy. I thought it was pretty was bad ..." (4)

Her eyes lit up with excitement as she said, "Oh yeah! Me too, my other friends think I'm crazy! So who do you—"

"And crazy you are! Utada will make a comeback," Came a deep and familiar voice that Kakei didn't really want to hear right now.

Kakei didn't bother turning around, but he did see the extremely startled look on Chiaka's face as she said, "Oh, hi Shunichi-san!"

"Got room for one more?" He asked.

"Sure ... it's a pretty big booth." She chocked.

Saiga went over to the counter to get a coffee and while they were waiting for him, Chiaka dreaded the moment in which Kakei would confront her.

I wonder what he did to him to make him so...weird! Chiaka thought to herself.

Kakei lowered his eyes to the table and said calmly, "Chiaka-san, what's he doing here?"

"Um, well, you see the thing about that is..." Chiaka cast her mind around for some means of explaining the situation to Kakei. Oh god, so I wanted to play matchmaker since Saiga said at that party last night that he liked him! So what? But I didn't think it would be this bad!

"Umm, I..." But before she could answer properly, Saiga came back.

Saiga slid into the seat next to Kakei and draped an arm around the younger man. He surveyed the silence between them knowing this was all his doing. He smiled slightly from behind those sunglasses of his, feeling a little bad, and bent lower towards Kakei.

"Come on, " He said, "Don't make me wish you an even better afternoon..."

But of course as this fic would go, Saiga kissed Kakei, but only on the cheek and left an even more awkward silence as he left the two going back as the girl called their meals were ready.

Next chapter will be told from Saiga's perspective. Rewritten of course.

Commentary (yeah, there was a lot this time!):

(1): Yeah, okay there's no getting around the fact that we know that Kakei has ESP- ability to see the future and he knows what it is too.

(2): Heart of the Sword anyone? I'm like CLAMP, all I do is crossover! Well ... not really, but only just this once when the receptionist was younger, because everyone is! .

(3): Mmm, my favorite! I haven't had it in a long time though ... great, now I want some ...

(4): I don't listen to Utada-san other than her appearances in Kingdom Hearts, but I do really like her. I met this guy who went to college in Japan and said it sucked, but I dunno, that's just his opinion and I just decided to work it in there. So sorry to any people who buy her CDs.
