Tezuka stares at the note before retuning his gaze to me. "This is Inui's hand writing." he says plainly. "How can you be so calm?" I ask folding my arms across my chest. He shrugs. I sigh at his answer. "Well since it was a prank I guess I can go home then." I say beginning to walk away when Tezuka stops me.

"I think we should play along to get back at them, then give them their punishment." I think on it for a moment before a really evil smirk crosses my features. I think I may have scared Tezuka a bit. "Not bad Tezuka, not bad at all." I comment. "And since were together now let's plan it. I know this little cafe we can go to for tea." I smile and he returns it.

The walk to the cafe was rather awkward. I couldn't find anything to talk about and I guess Tezuka had the same dilemma. When we arrived and ordered our drinks that's when the tension eased and we we're able to speak.

"Since we're going to be 'Dating' why don't we get to know each other by playing 20 questions." I suggest. Tezuka gets a blank look. I sigh and begin explaining. "20 questions is when we take turns asking questions until we each reach 20." He nods in understanding.

"Ok since I thought it up why don't go first."

"What did you over in America?" he asks I bite my bottom lip." You want the truth?" he nods. I sigh heavily.

"Fine. I was in a tennis tournament along with doing jobs involving medicine." I answered. It was mostly the truth. I just left out a big part. He gave me a blank stare as if he were looking at my soul. I gulp. "Stop looking at my like that. It hurts." He shook his head but didn't push on the subject, which I was thankful for.

Sometime Later

We had really taken the time to get to know each other. Ever second I grew closer to telling him the truth. I mean I know I can trust him but it's a little frustrating. I sigh. I'm gonna tell him. Pray for me.

"Tezuka I feel I can trust you with this information so please don't tell anyone." he looks at me oddly as I burst out with this random comment. Like 5 seconds ago we were laughing about making the boys were dressing and having them parade around the school.

I take a deep breath. "I'm considered a prodigy in many countries. I graduated college and became a certified doctor at 12. I started playing tennis as soon as I learned how to stand and became a pro at 7. I love my brother and would do anything for him. My father u was /u a pro before he retired coughdue to lazinesscough and became the irritating pervert that his is today. Now I'm here hiding out from the press in America and I think it's safe to say I'm happy here. Seigaku has become like a family to me." I say all in one breathe. He smiles satisfied. My cheeks are red not just from the rush but from his smile. I divert my gaze because it's becoming too hard to bare eye contact. You should know he rarely smiles.

I sigh composing myself before speaking. "So mister plain and simple life, how long is this temporary relationship suppose to last?" I ask holding my head in my palm and looking out the window. He thinks on it a moment. "1 week."

"A week?" I confirm, he nods I shrug indifferent. "I can handle that." he gets up putting money down on the table with a small smile. "We start tomorrow at the tournament."

My eyes go wide as I hear this. "You wanna start early?" I ask, he nods. I follow him out of the cafe and down the street. "Yeah the sooner the better, right?" I get a look of disappointment but hide it. "Yeah, the sooner the better." Then he does something I u really /u didn't expect. He kissed me on the cheek. I blush a deep red. "I'll see you tomorrow at 9 AM. Oh and you can me Kunimitsu." he tells me walking off. I nod absentmindedly touching the spot where he kissed me. I sigh. "I am on cloud nine." I say dreamily. 2 secs later I realize what I just said. 'I don't like him do I?' I ask myself walking in the opposite direction.

Later

When night fell I decided to stay at the temple. For some reason I want to talk to my old man about the situation. Weird huh? I find him laying on the wrap-around porch outside the living room. The sky is glittered with the stars that I have wished upon so many times when I were younger. I sigh sitting next to him.

"Oyaji, I-I need to talk to you." I say ashamed. He looks at me weirdly before closing his perverted magazine, putting it in his sleeve, and sitting up straight.

"Nani?"

"Well..I'm confused."

"About?" he urges.

"My feelings toward this guy." I tell him. He nods as if he were a guru that knows all, but he's just a loser. "What are the symptoms?" he inquires. I gain a confused expression. I know I'm a girl and all but I've never had a girl for a friend, just guys. I think that's why girls hate me so much.

Oyaji sigh annoyed. "How do you act around the kid?" he practically yells. I side glare at him and he immediately shrinks back waving his hands in front of him laughing nervously with a sweat drop. "You better calm that down old man before you find your precious books missing." I threaten. "Gomen, forgot who I was talking to." 'With that attitude who in their right mind would go with you.' he thought.

I sigh continuing. "Most of the time I'm glaring at him, but there are rare times when his smile makes me blush and I find that he's not as stuck up as I thought he was." I explain with a small smile gracing my features.

Nanjiroh's POV

I look at my daughter as she smiles slightly looking at the starry sky. 'Who ever this boy is she must really like him.' I thought. My eyes soften considerably as I watch her. 'I probably wouldn't admit this aloud, but I'm really proud of you Kizuka. To grow up with barely any friends and still be who you are is a great feat.' I thought turning to watch the stars too.
