For those who read my Eternal Sonata fic: The next chapters may take a while to post, because they are split into three parts, so I'll be posting them all together. Anyway, let's get to this fanfic.

Yagami High School, Front of the School
Today was the day Class 2B planned to go on a field trip to a local museum. They were going to look at various art exhibits and such things. Daichi, Hiroshi, Kiyoshi, and Kaz went on the same bus. Ever since what happened in the warehouse, Kaz became good friends with the group. He didn't really fit in, but he didn't care. Kaz was pretty decent at analyzing things and noticed something; Daichi attracts a lot of attention from the girls in the class. In hopes of getting girls to like him, he wanted to learn how Daichi did it. The group went on the bus. It had many rows with two seats per a row. Daichi and the group headed to the fifth row. Daichi and Kaz sat on the left side and Hiroshi and Kiyoshi sat on the right side. The twins began to chat and Kaz decided to take this opportunity to ask Daichi.
"Hey Daichi?"
"Yes Kaz." said Daichi, putting aside the book he was reading as he did so.
"How do you do it?"
Daichi looked at Kaz with confusion.
"How do I do what?" asked Daichi.
"How do you get girls to notice you? They seem like they really like you."
"What are you talking about?" asked Daichi.
"You mean you don't know?"
"No…"
"The girls are constantly making googly eyes at you! They always look at you, whisper to each other, and giggle."
Kaz looked back and noticed some girls already doing that. They paid no attention to him.
"Look right now!" said Kaz.
Daichi turned around and as soon as he did, the girls turned away, not paying any attention to him. As soon as Daichi turned around and went back to reading the book he had in his hand, the girls went back to looking at him.
"Did you get enough sleep last night?" asked Daichi.
"Of course I did! Look! They're looking at you again!"
Daichi turned to them and the exact same thing happened again. He turned toward Kaz.
"I think you're just seeing things. Try to get some sleep while we're on the bus."
Kaz face palmed. If Daichi didn't even realize that he attracts girl's attention, then how did he do it? What was his secret? Was it just the way he acted? Was it the way he dressed? Kaz then realized that they wore the exact same clothing. Soon they reached the museum and everyone piled out of the bus. Everyone entered the exhibit and Daichi began to analyze a picture on the wall. He stood with his hand on his chin, and he used his other arm to support it. Kaz took the exact same position and analyzed the picture next to them. A girl walked up to Daichi.
"What do you think of this picture, Daichi?" asked a girl, with a wide smile on her face.
Daichi stared at the picture more. It was as photo of a wide field with many trees in it. There was a monkey hanging on one of the trees.
"I enjoy the emphasis placed on the larger tree in the middle of the picture." said Daichi.
"What? You're attention isn't drawn towards the monkey?" asked the girl.
"No. If you notice the way they apply the rule of thirds, the emphasis is meant to be place on the tree; not the monkey."
"Wow! That's so intelligent of you! Do you mind if I talk to you alone really fast?"
Daichi nodded and he and the girl headed around the corner.
"You've been staring at this picture for a while? What do you think of it?" asked another girl, who was now standing by Kaz.
"Well… I enjoy the emphasis placed on the larger tree in the middle of the picture."
The girl looked at Kaz like he was some kind of idiot. Kaz was confused. He then looked at the picture and realized that it was a picture of a thunder storm. He bowed his head in shame.
"I'm going to go leave you alone forever now." said Kaz.
He then decided to head down the hallway that he and the girl went down. He was about to turn down it, when both of them came blurting out of there.
"Thank you for clarifying that for me." said the girl.
"You're welcome. I'll see you some other time." said Daichi.
The girl then headed over to her friends, and she started to talk to them. They all seemed shocked and kept giving glances to Daichi. Kaz was completely shocked.
"Umm… what just happened?" asked Kaz.
"Oh, I just explained to her what was going on between Misaki and I. They couldn't believe that I was Misaki's boyfriend, but then I had to explain to them what had actually happened. She then thanked me for the explanation and said that she needed to go talk to her friend about it."
"So you're saying that this entire time, they were just pointing at you, talking about how you and Misaki were going out?"
"Apparently so."
"I have another question then… why did she need to go talk to her friend about it?" asked Kaz.
"I'm not sure, but it's none of my business."
Kaz then decided that it was time to make it his business.
"Thanks Daichi, I'll talk to you later!"
Kaz headed down after the girl that was talking to Daichi.
Down at the Sculpture Exhibit
Hiroshi and Kiyoshi were standing next to each other. They were talking about how lame and boring this exhibit was, when a girl came walking by. She had long, brown hair and a cute face. She began to analyze one of the sculptures.
"Will you just tell her already?" asked Kiyoshi.
"But…"
"No butts! You said that you would tell Yumi how you feel? You said you would today!"
"But I don't want to! I'm too scared!"
Kiyoshi then proceeded to push Hiroshi towards Yumi. Yumi looked at the two curiously.
"Hey Yumi, how are you doing today?" asked Kiyoshi.
"I'm doing fine. Thank you." she said with a smile.
"Do you mind watching Hiroshi while I'm gone? He may get in trouble or something if someone isn't always watching him." said Kiyoshi jokingly.
"Alright."
"See you two later!"
Kiyoshi went running down the hall before his brother could object. Hiroshi turned toward Yumi.
"So… lovely weather we're having… right?" said Hiroshi nervously.
Yumi looked out the window.
"But it's raining."
Hiroshi turned to see that a lot of rain was hitting the window like crazy. Hiroshi then felt kind of stupid.
"So… I'd like to tell you something." said Hiroshi.
"What would that be?" asked Yumi, innocently.
"Umm… I was wondering… if you would… go on a date with me sometime…?" asked Hiroshi.
"Well, I…"
"Hey Yumi!"
They looked and saw the girl that was talking to Daichi earlier. Hiroshi looked behind her and noticed Kaz was following her, trying to disguise himself by putting a newspaper in front of his face.
"How are you doing, Natsuki?" asked Yumi.
"I need to talk to you right now!" she said urgently.
Natsuki pulled her away before Yumi could object. They talked to each other for a bit, with Kaz listening intently. Yumi was happy and Kaz was shocked. Yumi then walked back to Hiroshi.
"I'm sorry. There's someone else I like right now. Can we be friends, though?"
"Umm… sure." said Hiroshi.
She then walked away with her friend. Kaz was frozen with shock.
"How'd it go?" asked Kiyoshi.
"I got rejected…" said Hiroshi.
"It's ok man! Just find someone else."
"But… she said she likes someone else… I need to find out who it is."
Hiroshi walked over to Kaz.
"Hey Kaz."
Kaz was still frozen.
"EARTH… TO… KAZ…."
Kaz shook his head.
"Hey guys! What's up!"
"You know something, don't you?" asked Hiroshi.
"Umm… YOU'LL GET NOTHING OUT OF ME!"
Kaz dashed down the exhibit as fast as he could, away from the twins. He had heard the entire conversation and figured out what was going on. Yumi was upset that she couldn't go out with Daichi, considering the rumors that he was going out with Misaki. Then Natsuki found out otherwise, let Yumi know, and now she was going to be after Daichi. If Hiroshi realized this, there friendship had a large possibility of ending! For some reason, Kaz felt that he needed to help the group out; after all, they are his new friends. He headed onto the bus and got him and Daichi to sit away from the twins. When they got off, school was almost over. On the way back to school, the rain had stopped, but of course it picked back up as soon as they got off the bus, it started raining again.
"Ok, I'll see you guys later!" said Kaz.
"Ok. I need to talk to you about something tomorrow, ok?"
Kaz ignored Hiroshi's remark and started heading home. Luckily, he had a umbrella and started heading home… but then he decided that he needed to think. He sat under a building and began to think. Trying to figure out how to go about tomorrow and what to do about the situation. Should he tell Daichi or let him find out on his own? He feared that Hiroshi would figure it out before Daichi did, and that would be a problem.
"Dang it! Think!"
Kaz then looked up and saw what appeared to be a guy with a bowl shaped haircut walking home, using a leaf as an umbrella and he was wearing a kappa suit. Literally a kappa suit, with a shell, and beak, and everything.
"All this thinking must be messing with me…I think I'll just go home and sleep on it. Hopefully I'll think of something after a good night's sleep."
Kaz then headed out, hoping to find something that will help him in this time of need.
