Hi! Sorry for it being kind of later…School's ending soon and I've been procrastinating…The weather where I live isn't like summer at all…Thanks to all the reviewers and readers! I'll try to make it long than the last chapter...
Disclaimer:
Kinnosuke: When I came to pick up Chris she pulled me into the studio.
Chris: Kinnosuke, just say the disclaimer!
Kinnosuke: Ramen-chan does not own Itazura na Kiss. Get in the car Chris!
Chris: Bye Ramen-chan!
Kukai Utau Ramen: Byeee! Thanks!
Recap: "Are you sure? There's no way to calculate how fast we'll move along. The first time it was when we fell asleep, but the second time it was when Kinnosuke came," Kotoko explained.
They both sighed.
"We'll just have to figure it out!" Naoki said.
Just as he spoke, they were swallowed again by a bright light.
"Geez, this machine is so unpredictable," Irie-kun thought.
How to Better Understand Your Partner chapter 4
"AHHH!" Kotoko screamed.
She was falling out of the sky. She knew she shouldn't scream. After all, she was currently a boy. Naoki's reputation was at stake. Naoki wasn't much different. His thoughts were filled with horror. Secretly, he was afraid of heights. He didn't scream because if he screamed, Kotoko would panic even more than her current state. They both remained in complete and utter fear through their "journey through the sky".
"Ugh, rough landing," Kotoko thought as she rubbed her head.
"Aihara-san," Matsumoto Yuuko asked, "Will you go see this movie with me?"
Kotoko flinched. This was the time where she and Sudou spied on Irie-kun and Mastumoto.
"Um sure," Kotoko agreed.
She didn't want to stray too far from the actual past.
As Naoki suspected, Sudou told him to come spying with him. Like Kotoko, he didn't want to change the past. They walked into the movie theater. The movie was exactly the same except that Irie-kun kept kicking Kotoko's chair. She glared at him. The movie from both times wasn't enjoyable. The first time she spent the entire time bugging Naoki. This time she kept getting bugged by Irie-kun. She didn't have the patience to deal with things like this like Naoki. He smirked at her, but when she glared at him that smirk went away. That was one of the scariest glares Irie-kun had ever seen. It was almost identical to his mother's.
After the movie, Kotoko and Mastumoto went shopping, and Sudou and Naoki followed him.
"So this is what it feels like to be stalked…" Kotoko thought.
Matsumoto kept asking for her opinion on tennis rackets. Kotoko was basically trying to stall until the part with the gangsters. Honestly, even with Naoki's brain, she didn't know what she was talking about. She almost yelped when the gangsters appeared appeared. She remembered the tennis racket and called Sudou.
"What?" he said with a glare as he popped out from behind a bush.
"Hold this," she whispered in his ear.
"Huh?" he said confused.
Then his scary, tennis mode came. He took on those gangsters as if they were stuffed toys.
Kotoko and Naoki walked toward the park where they road the (unlucky) boat together.
"Do we have to ride the boat again," Kotoko asked, "I don't want to feel like I'm jinxed again."
"You are really superstitious…You know it's not real right?" Naoki said.
"Yeah, but still. It feels like a curse," she admitted.
"If you really don't want to," he said.
"Yay! Thanks Irie-kun!" she thanked.
Little did they know, the change of events could ruin their lives forever.
"Um, we're supposed to be wet when we get home," Kotoko mentioned.
"Right," Naoki said.
They ran through a bunch of sprinklers in front of a hotel. The person at the front desk scolded them and called them damn college students.
"Haha! Who thought an old lady would know swear words," Kotoko exclaimed.
"I am not old!" the lady exclaimed.
"We apologize miss!" Naoki screamed.
"What a rude ol- lady," Kotoko said.
"Excuse me, but you need to learn some manners!" the lady scolded.
"Kotoko, let's go before you start a fight," Naoki urged.
They hung out by the tree near the boat ride that they should've gone on. Kotoko hadn't thought of a time where she was happier in this whole excursion. This whole time she had to restrain herself. I guess she didn't have to, but the fear of what would happen scared her. She never shared this with Irie-kun. There was too much stress with these opposite personalities to deal with already. She didn't want her husband to have more problems than necessary.
That night, they both had a dream.
A voice said, "Please, don't change the chain of events! The effects will be dangerous!"
"What will happen?" they both asked.
"I can't tell you now, but you will find out later. I don't suggest you try to cross the line any further. You're on the verge of doing it already. Any major changes will be fatal. Goodbye now," the voice explained.
"Wait! I have so many questions!" they both exclaimed.
"All in good time. If you ever hear from me again, something has gone terribly wrong," the voice warned.
In the morning, they woke up at around the same time. They both rushed out the door to tell each other of the dream they each had, but when they were half-way out the door when they were hit with a blinding light that would transport them to their next destination.
Thanks for reading and please review. I apologize for my laziness!
