Chapter 2

"Want another bowl?" I asked.

"No thank you," she answered.

"Another ramen bowl pops," I ordered.

"Sure, son," I was a regular so pops here is used to me.

"Here you go. I'll leave you two alone," he smiled.

I was eating quietly. There was awkward silence so I decided to say something. Heck, she seemed troubled. Must be with the deal I had with her. Hmmm… Maybe

I should try joking around. Don't get me wrong, I just want to avoid these type of situations.

"A gay baby's being born," I said.

"How do you know?" She didn't get my humor.

"Everytime there's awkward silence, a gay baby's being born," I explained.

"Oh," Was all she could say.

Gah…for what purpose am I doing this anyway? Just to goof around I guess. Damn, maybe I should let this deal slip. Waste o' time. I should focus on training for the league. She's got business too anyway.

"Ya know, maybe we shouldn't push through with this," I said.

"Could it be that you're softening up? How fast," she laughed.

"Don't get the wrong idea! I just think it's a waste o' time and I should focus on training!" I said.

"No, let's continue this," she said.

"What's this? You're falling for me aren't ya?" I grinned.

"You're helpless…with that attitude of yours, you think a girl's going to take you seriously?"

"Just so you know, girls are in my house everyday."

"Stupid, that's not what I meant."

"I know, there's just waiting for me the choose one of 'em."

"How could you say girls can't be trusted when you haven't even tried being in a relationship with one?" she said.

"Isn't it obvious? My mom's—"

"Your mom and dad's situation is different."

"Fine, let's see if you're right." Damn, she got me. Hmph, I don't have any choice but to continue this. I'll show her.

"Just make sure you won't fall for me," she copied what I said.

"Like hell I will," I replied.

I walked her to the hotel she was staying with her friend. Her friend left after finishing her food. Pretty grateful if you ask me. I kissed her cheek. She blushed at

what I did. She slapped me in response and went inside the hotel. I smiled. She wouldn't bother talking to me tomorrow because of what I did right?

I opened the unlocked door of my house as always. My brothers don't worry since they're Pokemon could beat the crap outta any burglar as they say. Saw the two eating cold pizza while watching tv. I got one without even bothering to ask.

"How'd it go?" Hiro asked.

"Oh, I stole her heart," I barked with laughter.

"You two hooked up?" Hiro questioned.

"Hell yeah."

Tetsu just sighed at my response. Hiro didn't seem to care whether I was serious or not. He understood me anyway. Unlike the other one. He's been steady with

his girl for a long time. Not that I didn't like his girl, just sense something 'bout her. It's just a hunch and if I dare tell Tetsu, he'll beat the crap outta me. After I finished my pizza, I brushed my teeth and head to my room. Laid down my bed and thought about the stuff that happened today. She didn't refuse..man, I still have a conscience and I don't intend on doing anything rash to her. I'll…zzz

"Wake up, man!" Hiro said.

"Ugh…what is it?" I replied.

"Dame's waitin' for ya!" He smirked.

"Those girls again?" I asked.

"Nah, told them you got a girl," he grinned.

"Oh…wait! She's waiting for me?"

"Yeah, why're you so surprised?"

"Nothin'. Tell her to wait.

Hiro left the room and seemed unsatisfied with my answer. I got up and took a shower. Let's take a break today. Don't feel like training. I went out of my room and smelled something tasty. I saw my two brothers chowing down. It's been a while since someone cooked breakfast for us. Eh…who the hell would cook breakfast for us anyway? I saw someone come out of the kitchen. It was her. Her blonde wavy hair was tied. She put my plate in the table. There was eggs and steak with mashed potato.

"American style," I didn't take my eyes off the plate.

"Yeah, eat up," She smiled.

"Don't mind if I do."

"Hiroshi-san, Tetsuya-san, leave the plates there. I'll wash it."

"Nice girlfriend you got Sousuke. You might have a change of heart with her. I had a little chat with her when you were still asleep," Tetsu said.

(Note: Tetsu and HIro are nicknames.)

"Thanks for the meal~" Hiro said.

"Sure, I'll cook for you in dinner too," Keita said.

"Thank you very much Keita-san," Tetsu thanked.

They both went out the dining room and she started to eat too.

"You didn't have to wait for me. I wake up late," I broke the silence.

"What are you talking about? I just wasn't hungry that time."

"…" Nice.

After we finished eating, she got the plates and I brushed my teeth. Shinobi or whatever you call 'em don't experience riding motorcycles right? Maybe I should let her experience it. Heh, I'll make sure she has fun. Nice of her to come back after I kissed her yesterday. I hope she's not doing this outta pity. I don't know what's she planning but I might as well find the reason why she still agreed to this.

"Done," she interrupted my thoughts.

"Let's go outside," I said.

I got my keys and revved the engine. It fascinated her.

"First time seeing one?" I asked.

"Yes," she answered.

"Hop on," I grinned.

She sat at the back and hugged me. It was exciting me for some reason. I just grinned at the moment. We went around the whole town with speed. I looked back to see her face and both our faces were inches away. My motorcycle hit a tree! Damn it! We both fell and I pinned her down. Both of us wore the same expression.

"Damn…sorry, I was careless," I apologized to stop the awkward situation.

"Don't worry about it," she said.

I got up and checked my motorcycle. There was damage all right. Good thing I saved enough money. I'll visit the shop tomorrow.

"Hey…Do ya mind coming back again tomorrow?" I asked.

"Sure," she said.

"I'll visit the bike shop tomorrow. Maybe you should check it out too."

The thing still worked and I took her back to the hotel again. I didn't notice that it was pretty late already. I got home and my brothers weren't here. I just saw pops. He's tired from research as usual. He's sinked himself into his research. Pops has been depressed ever since mom left. Always smiling like that. It annoys me. He never really talked to us too.

"Why don't ya take a break?" I said.

"Nothing's more important than research. You should focus on your training too Son." He smiled.

"Yeah, sure whatever," I shouldn't have talked to him. It was no use anyway.

I don't wanna turn into that kind of person. Remember Sousuke…you're just doing this for fun and nothing else…I was too lazy to change so I fell asleep.
