Hi people! Sorry I've been lazy. Summer vacation has really made me really lazy…

Kukai Utau Ramen: Chibi-chan! Oide! (Come here)
Chibi: Arf arf arf ar-arf bark meow? Meeeeooooow! (Translation: Ramen-chan doesn't own Itazura na Kiss and why and I meowing!)
Kukai Utau Ramen:…I hope that's only temporary.
Recap: "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.
How to Better Understand Your Partner Chapter 5
Naoki was at the amusement park with Kinnosuke, and Kotoko was with Chris. Each didn't know what they did with each other's partner, but one thing was for sure, they didn't want to change what happened. Little did they know, they were quite off. The only thing that went the same was the part where they met up. That was one thing Naoki sucked at: fake crying. He tried his very best to look sad and depressed which he actually was. They couldn't do anything differently. He knew that this was more Kotoko's fault than his. It was in her nature to be a childish, curious adult. He walked with Kinnosuke to the area where he proposed.
"Give me sometime to think about it," Naoki replied hoping those were Kotoko's words.
Kotoko found out Chris was quite worried about Irie-kun when they left the scene with Naoki and Kinnosuke. She thought Chris would continue the date Kotoko so desperately wanted in this time period. She could tell Chris's smile was obviously fake.
At the restaurant, Kinnosuke made a meal for Irie-kun. It was so delicious, he almost forgot that he was supposed to recreate everything how it was in real life. When Kinnosuke tried to kiss him, he snapped back into reality. Instead of screaming Kotoko's name, he ran off into the rain. He didn't know. This major change made the sidewalk shift and crack. It was almost a huge earthquake. Everything got back in balance once he reached the train station.
Kotoko ran off with the umbrella and met Naoki.
"Kotoko-kun, what are you doing here?" Naoki asked.
"I was waiting for you," Kotoko replied.
"Waiting, for me?" he asked.
They walked a couple blocks in silence.
"Were you meeting Kinnosuke?" Kotoko asked.
Irie-kun nodded.
"I heard he proposed," she continued.
"Yeah, I guess I'm not totally unwanted," he replied.
"How are you going to respond?" Kotoko asked.
"It's none of your business!" he snapped.
Kotoko never saw Irie-kun snap that often. She knew it was because of the particular scene they were in, but decided to embrace the moment.
"I guess not," Kotoko said coolly.
For Naoki, whenever Kotoko tried to act cool it failed miserably. This type of cool was actually pretty good. He considered she was really paying attention during this moment when it actually happened.
"Listen, I'll be moving out soon. I decided with Dad. I'll marry Kin-chan and then help take care of the shop. Then, everything will work out right, won't it? You marry Chris and I'll marry Kin-chan," Irie-kun explained with feeling.
"Do you love him?" she asked.
"Of course! Because, Kin-chan has loved me ever since freshman year of high school!" Irie-kun responded.
"Do you fall in love with someone because they tell you they love you?" Kotoko questioned.
"Is that wrong? I'm tried of his one-sided love! You should just focus on Chris!" Naoki said.
"You've loved me for so long, you won't be able to love anyone else!" Kotoko exclaimed.
"Wh-why are you so confident? But what am I supposed to do? You don't love me. You don't care about me," Naoki whispered.
Kotoko leaned down and passionately kissed Naoki. They hadn't kissed in such a long time that if filled the void that was in their hearts. They were filled with much passion.
Suddenly, they were surrounded by a bright light. They didn't care. They wanted to kiss for as long as possible. They totally forgot about the warning the lady told them about earlier.
They found themselves back in front of the machine that took them into that mixed up world in the first place. They saw short flashes of light and a few clicks. It was Mrs. Irie taking pictures of them.
"Forgive me Naoki-kun, your mother told me to make that machine," Irie-kun's dad apologized.
Naoki almost when up to his mom and squeezed her by the neck.
"Onii-san don't be so rude! I did it so you and Kotoko could get closer!" she explained.
"Do you know how hard it was to be a girl, a girl as stupid and clumsy as Kotoko was," he exclaimed.
"Well excuse me!" Kotoko screamed, "I don't know about you, but Mr. Perfect wasn't my favorite character either!"
"Gosh you guys, don't you realize what this machine did? It showed you both that your lives weren't as easy as both of you presumed," Yuuki explained.
Who would've thought Yuuki would be the adult in a sea of them.
A couple weeks later, Kinnosuke and Chris were having a silly fight of where their second baby should be born. For once, Chris was siding with her mom. Kotoko brought them to the machine.
"When you're ready press the bright green "go" button!" Kotoko said with a huge smile on her face.
"Um ok?" Kinnosuke said.
Kotoko stepped out of the room. Kinnosuke accidentally hit the button with his cooking spoon and well, you can guess what happened next.
Thanks for reading! I will come up with another story shortly. (or it might take awhile…) Should it be another Itazura na Kiss or something else? Please send your suggestion and please comment! J
