Ok. I'm really sorry for not updating for so long. And it's because my computer crashed and ALL data was lost!!! WAILS!!! My chapters 1 & 2 that I have finished are GONE!!!! And my halfway completed Chapter 3 was ALSO gone!!! If this chapter isn't so great it is because the original and BETTER copy was deleted. I've tried to put it back together again but it isn't as great as before. Luckily my AMAZING elder sister remembered bits and pieces of the earlier chapter. Isn't she the BEST!!! So this chapter is much better then when I tried to retype everything earlier. THANK YOU MY WONDERFUL SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok! ONE WITH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHAPTER 3

The Restaurant

Ryoma looked around the restaurant in amazement as both him and Atobe was seated at their table. Ryoma noted that their table was far away from most tables and was practically cloaked in shadows. Scowling, he turned back to the menu.

'Shit! The food here is expensive! I knew I should have stole..ahem...borrowed oyaji's credit card!' Ryoma thought as he scanned the menu. 'Everything looks so delicious BUT expensive! Stupid Monkey King, it's ALL your fault...No, wait. It's all Eiji-sempai's fault for making me go out on this stupid date in the first place!! Buchou, I blame you too. You should have stopped the stupid game before it went this far.'

(Meanwhile at the Kikumaru and Tezuka residence, two certain Seigaku Regulars sneezed.)

"If you're worried about the price, have no fear. Ore-sama will pay for your meal," came Atobe's voice, breaking Ryoma's inner thoughts.

Ryoma scowled at Atobe for the zillionth time (and it wouldn't be the last). "No thank you, Mon...umm,Atobe. I can afford to pay for my own meals."

'Just barely. Bye bye pocket money of this week and my savings of the last 2 weeks. After this, I'm gonna be broke again. I knew I shouldn't have bought those sneakers last Monday!'

"Do not worry, ore-sama will pay for the meal. But if you wish to pay ore-sama back…." With that said, Atobe leaned over and kissed Ryoma on the lips.

'His lips are so soft,' was Ryoma's first thought. Then. 'Wait a minute. Monkey King's kissing me!!' Ryoma quickly jerked back.

"What was that for, Mon…er. ATOBE?!" asked Ryoma, a small blush appearing on his cheeks without his consent. 'Damn it, I'm blushing! Stupid Monkey, that was my first kiss!!! Like hell, I'm telling you that though, your head might explode if it gets any bigger.'

Atobe smirked at Ryoma. "Why the blush, Ryoma? Was that your first kiss?" Ryoma didn't have to answer. The blush on his cheeks that grew bigger said it all.

"Urusai!" Ryoma pulled up the menu to cover his flaming face. The Gods at that moment, decided to be merciful by bringing the waiter over to their table to take their orders. This prevented Atobe from making anymore remarks about Ryoma's blush in response to the kiss.

"Are you ready to order, sirs?"

After ordering, Ryoma sulked. There were three reasons for this. 1. The waiter was gone. 2. There was NO menu for him to use to hide his face. 3. The stupid Monkey King was leering at him.

"Stop looking at me like that, Atobe," snapped Ryoma. "You look like you have a stomachache."

"Ore-sama does not look like ore-sama has a stomachache!" came the reply.

Ryoma raised an eyebrow. "You're not the one looking at your own face. Now stop looking at me like that. You're putting me off my appetite."

Atobe scowled. He looked as if he wanted to say something until his face cleared and he smirked.

"Hmm…are you awed by ore-sama's amazing beauty?" The smirk grew wider (if that was possible). "Or… is this just your reaction to ore-sama's prowess at kissing?"

Ryoma choked. Opening his mouth to say something extremely rude and snarky, a line drifted through his head: If you screw this up, you'll become Inui's lab rat for a month. Remember to be polite – or at least not rude. Damn you, Fuji-sempai!

Ryoma was quiet for too long. And before he could react, Atobe leaned over and kissed him again. To his utter dismay, Ryoma found himself actually responding to the kiss. But before he could jerk away again, Atobe broke the kiss and leaned back into his seat.

The blush returned to Ryoma's cheeks, bigger and redder than before. "I can't believe it. You…you…you did it again!

"You were just too cute. Ore-sama couldn't resist the temptation," was Atobe's reply. He then smirked. "Besides, you certainly seemed to have enjoyed ore-sama's kiss."

This time it was Ryoma's turn to scowl.

"Urusai!"

That was all he could think to say. Honestly, what could you say in a situation like this?

Luckily, the Gods once again took pity on Ryoma when the waiter arrived with their dinner.

Ryoma dove into his meal with great enthusiasm while completely ignoring Atobe.

"Ugh, Ryoma do you have any table manners?" said Atobe. "Here, ore-sama brings you to a lovely restaurant and you eat like a pig!"

Ryoma resisted the urge to stick out his tongue at Atobe. "Whatever, Atobe." Nonetheless, Ryoma stopped shoveling food into his mouth like it was his last meal.

'Ooh, the food is so yummy!' 'The salmon is so goooood!' Purring in content, Ryoma ate his salmon teriyaki and drank his Ponta.

"Would you like some appetizers? Californian rolls or some sushi?" Atobe asked Ryoma.

"Ore-sama's treat of course. After all, haven't you already paid ore-sama?" he continued, smirking at Ryoma in that know-it-all fashion. Ignoring Ryoma's scowl, Atobe snapped his fingers, catching the waiter's eye.

"Yes sir?"

"Ore-sama would like the menu please."

"Very well then sirs."

And so, the sushi was ordered and Ryoma enjoyed the rest of his meal. Considering Atobe was on his best behavior so far. At least, there weren't anymore kisses.

"So," came Atobe's voice. "Would you like to stop by ore-sama's place for a movie? What would you like to watch?"

Ryoma jumped. Not expecting this, he frowned. 'YADDA!!! I REFUSE to spend anymore time with you. There's NO telling what you would do to me when we're alone in your monkey hole!! Think, Ryoma, think! What's the excuse?'

"Nn? Movie? Nope, no can do Atobe."

Atobe frowned. "Why not?"

'Cause I don't wanna spend another hour with you!' Speaking aloud, he said.

"Because I have a curfew. 'Kaasan won't be happy with me if I stayed out past my curfew."

"Ah, ore-sama understands. Do you wish for ore-sama to send you home?"

Seeing Ryoma's frown, Atobe hurriedly said. "It would be rude of ore-sama to not do so."

"Che. Do whatever you want."

Atobe paid the bill, ignoring Ryoma's attempts to pay for his meal. (He used the 'I kissed you and that is ore-sama's payment' excuse which made Ryoma blush again)

Outside Ryoma's house

"Well. See you around Atobe. Thanks for the ride home," said Ryoma. Getting out of the limo, he was about to enter his gate when his arm was grabbed.

"Wha..??"

"3 pm, Sunday afternoon. At your house,"came Atobe's voice.

"Eh? What's that about?"

"That's when ore-sama will pick you up for our second date."

With that said, the limo drove off, leaving a speechless Ryoma behind.

Phew! That's done!! OH! A little something to all of you as a late Christmas treat and early New Year!

SHORT SKIT

Ryoma walked into his house feeling a bit dazed. A second date? Great. MORE of Monkey King. As he was about to enter his room, he was accosted by his hentai oyaji.

"Oyaji, what is it? I'm tired."

A tearful Nanjiroh held up a bikini issue magazine.

"Seishounen, look! Blonde, sexy women with big boobs! Hot brunettes in string bikinis! Don't these pictures mean anything to you?"

Ryoma just looked bored. "What about them?" And entered his room.(Locked it too)

From outside his door, he could hear:

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!! SEISHOUNEN, COME BACK TO THE LIGHT!! DON'T GO OVER TO THE DARK SIDE!!"

Baka hentai oyaji.

END SKIT

Ok. Done. There's STILL more chapters to come. So stay tuned. : )
