"Nika-chan it's time. You don't want to miss the bus now do you?" Suka chimed in the backroom glancing at kyouya and Nika.

"Don't tell me I left you two alone for so long and you didn't even make out!" She said taking Nikas spot at the stove while Nika looked for and found a bag of tea and put it in her pocket merrily.

"Well unlike you I don't jump the first cute guy I see." Nika said sarcastically as she patted Suka on the back and picked up a small purse that matched her outfit.

"So your saying you think I'm cute." Kyouya said with a smirk as he lifted the mats for Nika to go under.

"No I'm just saying I'm not blind nor a slut." Nika answered matter-of-factly.

Kyouya had to admit he was enjoying their playful banter as he opened the door for her and heard a few whistles and cat calls from patrons.

"I'll be back later guys. So no wild parties while I'm out." Nika said to the customers in a motherly tone.

They all laughed and whished her luck making kyouya feel as if he missed something very important.

"Thanks for keeping your promise and for stopping by." Nika said once they were outside.

Kyouya leaned against his limo which had just arrived and wondered what he had promised then remembered with a smile when they met in the common corner store.

"It would be my pleasure to give you a ride. it's only right after what you've done for me." He said courtly bowing.

"Oh of course I'll take a ride from a guy who I've only recently met and wind up in a basement somewhere chained up in a bikini with pigtails never to be seen again living out my days as your sick sex slave." Nika said sarcastically with a smile.

Kyouya had to admit no one had ever turned down a ride from him, nor even fathom the possibility that if he wanted he could do that to her. He played with that image in his mind for but a moment a smile growing on his face.

"Don't tell me your thinking about it?" Nika asked taking a step closer to kyouya.

Kyouya looked up at her and a grin spread on his face making Nika back away but to slowly. Kyouya grabbed her arm and had her pinned under him against the limo.

"That's no way to treat such a beautiful creature! Mommy's a brute mommy's a brute!!" Tamaki yelled about to get out of his limo when an idea came to him and he looked for his camera.

"It's dangerous for a young girl like you to walk alone defenseless. I could have my way with you right now if I wanted." Kyouya said looking a blushing Nika in the eyes.

"I'm thankful for your concern but I'm not completely defenseless." Nika said slipping her left foot behind kyouyas left spinning him around so she had him pinned to the limo.

"You know next time you try to teach a girl a lesson try not to look her dead in the eyes. Your niceness shows too much in your eyes." Nika said with a warm smile as she backed off and walked down the street with a skip.

"hmm in my eyes you say." Kyouya said still leaning against the limo and pushing his glasses up with his index finger. "Interesting."

"You do know if you did try anything with her me and everyone in here would neuter you in less time then it takes to say owe." Suka said leaning against the tea shop door.

Kyouya looked behind her and saw the customers nodding in agreement.

"She'll be working tomorrow until 4 why don't you stop by then mr. prince charming." Suka told him as she closed the door.

Kyouya had never been threatened before in his life and found it amusing as his driver came out of the car and opened the door for him. When he was seated inside the driver told him that there was a suoh limo parked down the street.

"Today just keeps getting interesting doesn't it." Kyouya said as he picked up his cell phone.
