Author's Note: I know it has been a while and I must say that it would take me another longer time to update because school has started and being a college student is never that easy. Lots of assignment and test. Anyway I would try to update as soon as I can though. Now, on with the chapter!!!

RECAP:

THE NEXT NIGHT... (ON ONE OF THE SUSHI RESTAURANT OWNED BY KAWAMURA TAKASHI)

"Godd evening ma'am." The hostess said as Sakuno entered through the door. "Do you have any reservation?" The hostess added as Sakuno stood in front of her station.

"Yes, I have, it's under Mr. Sakai Azuma." Sakuno answered as she watched the hostess browsed through her list.

"Mr. Sakai Azuma, table for two, follow me please." The hostess said looking up from her list. "Mr. Azuma is already on your table." The hostess added leading Sakuno through the garden.

"Sakuno, thanks for coming." Sakai said standing up from his chair and kissing Sakuno on the cheek before pulling a sit for Sakuno.

"Thanks." Sakuno simply answered.

"I'm sorry for not picking you up, got a little stuck on a case." Sakai said and sat in his vacated chair.

"It's okay." Sakuno said her courage is failing her.

"I ordered your favorite, is that okay?" Sakai asked as Sakuno nod's in answer.

Sakai signaled the waiter to serve their orders. Their orders were serve quickly and both were left alone so they could talk to each other.

Chapter Five: Double Damn For Momo

ECHIZEN RYOMA'S HOTEL ROOM...

Ryoma was pacing on his bedroom not knowing what to do. He didn't know why he felt angry towards the guy Sakuno is with for dinner tonight. He even came so close of following her around with the guy, it's a good thing though, that he has a good grip on himself. Ryoma sigh for the 10th time tonight while at the same time wondering what is happening to him. Ryoma took his cellphone from his bedside table and proceeded to call Momo.

PHONE COVERSATION...

"Moshi moshi!" Momoshiro Takeshi answered his cellphone after the 3rd ring.

"Momo, it's me, Echizen."

"Oi, Echizen, what's up?" Momo greeted his best friend although shock because he never really call someone first. It has always been him who call Ryoma first.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Ryoma asked his best friend. Thinking of asking Momo to have dinner with him just to have man bonding while at the same time using Momo to distract him from doing something stupid.

"Nope, not yet. Why?" Momo asked curious as to what Ryoma is thinking.

"Do you want to have dinner with me and just hang out?" Ryoma asked Momo, "Don't worry I'll pay." Ryoma added so Momo can't refuse.

"Okay, where do you want to meet?" Momo asked giving in quickly, I mean who's in their right mind would turn down free food.

"I don't know, do you have any idea?" Ryoma asked, since his been away from Japan for a long time, he isn't very familiar with the country anymore.

"I know, I'll pick you up in your hotel then we can eat at the new Branch of Kawamura Sushi." Momo said while waiting for Ryoma to agree with his plan.

"That'll be great. I'll see you then." Ryoma answered.

"Good." Momo said and they both ended the call.

END OF PHONE CONVERSATION

ON ONE OF THE SUSHI RESTAURANT OWNED BY KAWAMURA TAKASHI...

"So, how was your case?" Sakuno asked as she sip her juice.

"So far so good, There's a lot of leads to follow but I rather have more leads than no leads at all." Sakai said popping a piece of sushi in his mouth.

"I know what you mean." Sakuno said as she bite from her sushi.

"Anyway, I ask you out tonight because I want to be sure that I didn't blew my chance to have a relationship with you because of our last date." Sakai said as he hope against hope that he didn't blew it.

"Oh, about that, I, well, you see, I like you and I know that I can love you but not the way you want me to love you. I can't love you more than just a brother or a friend and I'm sorry, I really am but I just can' keep this up and lie to you, you deserve someone much better than me." Sakuno said and it pained her to watch Sakai's reaction from her words. Without thinking she quickly stood up and was about to run when Sakai pulled her from her waist and spun her around to face him. In a blink of an eye, Sakai had put his lips on her's kissing her, wanting to make sure that her feelings would really not go beyond friendship.

When Sakai had kissed Sakuno, she was so shock that she hadn't move at all, she didn't push him away and she didn't kiss him back, the only thing she did is to let Sakai kiss her. She was broke from her shock when she was yank away from Sakai and she saw Sakai falling on the floor.

MOMO AND RYOMA'S PART WHEN THEY ENTERED ONE OF KAWAMURA'S SUSHI... (HAPPENED THE SAME TIME AS SAKUNO AND SAKAI SCENE IN THE SUSHI RESTAURANT)

"Wow, I didn't know you need a reservation before you can eat here, I mean back then we just troop in and started eating." Ryoma said looking at the two waiting customers behind them as they wait as well for a vacant table.

"Well, we're are talking about the old Kawamura Sushi place, but when Taka started expanding his father's business, it was a click that so many people eat here, he decided to put a reservation, although if we are the customers meaning the former Seigaku regulars or anyone from Seigaku, well let's just say we have special treatment. Like now." Momo said as Ryoma nodded his head. "Isn't that Sakuno-chan?" Momo said when she spotted a familiar woman talking with a man who looks like a cop which was indeed a cop he confirmed in his mind when he saw his badge and gun on his waist when he moved and the jacket he was wearing slid a little.

Ryoma looks at where Momo was pointing and Momo was right it was his Sakuno talking with a man. His Sakuno, who started talking with a look of apology. His Sakuno, who suddenly without warning stood up and turned to leave. His Sakuno, who was pulled by the man on her waist and turned her around. His Sakuno, who was now being kissed by the man with everyone watching. His Sakuno who stood still, not even fighting. And suddenly without warning as well, And not even knowing the reason why, he found himself yanking Sakuno away from the man and at the same time punching the man hard on the face.

NOW THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED AT PRESENT...

"Ryoma?" Sakuno said looking up at the person who had yank her away from Sakai, And what she saw on his face was nothing but pure anger.

"What the hell is your problem?" Sakai said standing on his feet and looking at Ryoma with anger as well.

"What the hell is my problem? Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?" Ryoma asked back to Sakai.

"Look, I don't know you and I don't want a fight so why don't you just release my date and leave." Sakai said trying to calm down as he know pretty well he should for he was a cop.

"Oh, I'll leave all right but I'm taking her with me." Ryoma said and he turned around pulling Sakuno with him. As he turned he saw Momo stading near the manager who had come out from the kitchen to find out what had happened, and it so happened that the manager was Takashi Kawamura himself.

"You can't do that she's my date." Sakai said grabbing Ryoma's shoulder and it was a very big mistake, Ryoma had let go of Sakuno's hand and bpth Ryoma and Sakai started a fist fight. While everyone had stood there shock.

"Momo-chan, Taka-san, Don't just stand there. Stop them!" Sakuno shouted making the person who'm she called walk forward to stop the fight. Momo grab Ryoma while Sakai was grab by Taka.

"Let go of me Momo!" Ryoma said with anger looking at Sakai.

"I'm only letting you go if you would stop fighting." Momo said not letting go, he had only let go when he felt Ryoma calm down and the same goesw with Sakai.

"Sakuno-chan..." Momo said but was cut off by Sakuno.

"Momo-chan, take Ryoma home please." Sakuno said without looking at Ryoma and then she walk away from him towards Sakai.

"Sakuno..." Ryoma said but was drag away by Momo out of the Sushi restaurant.

"Are you okay?" Sakuno asked Sakai as she inspect his face.

"Yeah, don't worry I'm used to this kinds of things." Sakai said then turned to look at Taka-san. "I'm sorry for the damage." Sakai added.

"Don't worry, it wasn't your fault." Kawamura only said and smiled, He faced everyone and said, "I'm sorry for that everyone plese return to your food and no need to pay for it's on the house." with what he said everyone cheered for the free meal and started to eat again. "Sakuno, you better tend to your friend's wound." Kawamura added, he heard Sakuno say thank you and Kawamura left towards the kitchen.

"Come on, I'll take you home." Sakai said as he assist Sakuno out of the restaurant.

RYOMA AND MOMO'S PART IN MOMO'S CAR...

"What the bloody hell was that?" Momo asked looking at Ryoma more Curious than angry.

"What?" Ryoma asked instead of answering for he himself didn't know what possess him to just punch someone.

"Please, Echizen, don't start with me." Momo said as he kept driving towards Ryoma's hotel both decided that they aren't hungry anymore.

"i'm not starting anything." Ryoma answered not really wanting to talk about what had happen a while ago.

"Fine, if you want to pretend that your stupid then fine, I'm just saying, you don't have a right to punch someone in the face just because he was kissing Sakuno, for one, you are not his boyfriend, father, fiance nor her husband and secondly the only relationship with her is she's your friend who is willing to help you by pretending and when I say PRETENDING meaning it's fake not true so all in all it comes down with you not having a right to punch whoever kissing Sakuno." Momo said and look sideway towards Ryoma who was acting that he was not listening but Momo knew he was. 'Damn it, why do you have to be so stupid. And damn it again for agreeing to help your mom.'

Yup, you read it right Momo is helping Ryoma's mom and more would be revealed in the next chapter. Also I won't be able to update for a very long time for I've been very busy and until now, I still am so please do understand and do tell me what you think about this chapter although I know it's too short, but then I rather give you a short chapter than nothing at all.
