It's been a good…well...nonetheless it's been a week of hard work. The girls are progressing gradually and the boys have learned not to pry in other people's business. At least mine and Kunimitsu's anyway. Hazumi, who recruited both Juni and Nami, has still been badgering me about that dumb dance competition. And my answer still stands. I think she even had the guts to ask Kunimitsu, who just glares when ever she's around. I've also been sensing bad vibes from Claire lately. Kunimitsu told me to ignore it and Fuji said I should ask her about it. You know communication with the team and all that good...stuff. Also did I mention that since the info about our relationship has gotten around school the fans have not been happy? I swear it's like walking down the wrong street of LA wearing the wrong color and straight into a gang war. So this now brings us to today.

"KUNIMITSU!!!! HELP ME!!!"

I scream running down the hall I am being chased by rabid fan boys.

'Why the hell are they acting weird now?! It's like they're in heat or something.' I think as I run for my life. I take a sharp turn down another hall and into the first unlocked room. I shut the door and lean on it trying to catch my breath. When I have succeeded I take a look around only to realize I ran straight into Hazumi's 'office'. She looks at me with arms crossed as she leans against the desk.

"And what exactly are you running from?" she asks. I laugh nervously.

"Ano, fan boys." She raises an eyebrow.

"You do know that's like almost the entire male population of the school, right?" I nod.

"So, wanna help me keep my life?" she thinks on it as if it were that hard of a decision to make.

"What would I get if I help you?" she inquires. I slump with a sweat drop. 'Is she serious?'

"I'll...give you...one of Fuji-nii's shirts."

"One? I want you to get out."

"Demo..."

"No, out now!" she says pushing me out the door and into the wide open hallway. Lucky for me no one is there, yet, so I creep my way to class.
I safely survive the rest of school.

'Now the hard part will be to make it home.' I think as I pack up my things.

"Ne, Kunimitsu." he turns to me.

"Will you walk me home today? I think I might get glomped to death if I go alone."I ask on the verge of tears. He nods packing the rest of his things and grabbing my hand. We decided to give the teams a break before the mock matches tomorrow.

"Hey Kunimitsu?" I begin nervously. He turns to me.

"Yes?"

"Eto...I was wondering if...you'd like to...ano...stay the night." I end blushing. His cheeks turn a faint shade of pink.

"I would like to. I'd have to call my grandparents though." I nod the color in my cheeks dying down.

"Ok."

We arrive sometime later and Kunimitsu heads straight to the phone. I go to the kitchen and commandeer some of the fruit salad Maria made. When I close the fridge she is standing next to it arms crossed and eye twitching.

'Not good.' I sweat drop.

"Don't eat too much you might spoil dinner and I also realize we have a guest, tend to him dear hostess." she instructs pushing me out. I walk over to Kunimitsu as he hangs up the phone.

"What did they say?" I ask curiously.

"I can stay, but they have to meet you one day." I sweat drop.

"O-k." I reply as we head up to my room. Don't get any ideas it's not like that!

"I don't have any pajama's." he states. I shrug.

"You can borrow---."

"Rei's." stays Kris throwing him some clothes.

"You're about the same size." she adds.

"Will he mind?" asks Kunimitsu.

"Nope go ahead." say Rei coming up behind Kris and slings his arm around her shoulder. Kris' eye twitches before she punches him in the stomach and walks away carelessly. Kamon walks up, stops at his fallen friend.

"Baka, you know Kris hates you after that prank you pulled." He says then continues walking. Kunimitsu and I sweat drop.

"Glad to know you're in capable hands." he comments.

"Thanks for the concern." I say sarcastically.

Sometime later after changing and polishing off the fruit salad, Kunimitsu and I lay lazily on the bed. Me on my stomach and him on his back, hands behind his head.

"So what do you plan to do about the mock matches tomorrow against..."I pause forgetting which team it was.

"Fudomine." chuckles Kunimitsu. I giggle.

"Right. That team."

"Well we're going to give our best after all we're aiming for Nationals, ne?" I nod.

"Yeah." after that there is a short silence. That's when a thought about earlier pops in my head.

"By the way, where were you when I was getting hunted down by a mob of fan boys?" I inquire.

"I was getting chased around the school by rabid fan girls." his stern face doesn't change and he says it so seriously that it makes me burst out laughing.

"You...ha ha...fan girls...ha ha. What did you...*gasp*...do?" I manage to say in between laughs.
I am trying my hardest not to laugh but it's no use.

"Nothing. I sat in the library reading a book. They were too afraid to approach or disturb me." he explains.
I laugh harder holding my stomach. He looks at me and chuckles while hovering over my hysterical form. I calm down a bit to giggles and look up at him.

"I can imagine that, clearly. If only I were there to see it though." I say. He smiles slightly.

"I wouldn't have been able to read if you'd been there." he replies bending down to give me a kiss. When we pull apart I smile.

"I know." I tell him before pulling him back down for a longer kiss.

-The Next Day-

"Come on!" Cheers me, Juni, Nami, Hazumi, Isabelle, and Umeko, whom we invited. It seems she's taken quite a liking to our young Dunk Smash player, as I've heard from Kaoru-chan. Right now we are playing our mock matches against Fudomine and unfortunately we were followed.
"Kizuka-hime, here's your favorite drink." says some random dude from my fan club. I look at him, to the drink, to the glaring Kunimitsu, then to the boy again.

"And your name is...."I ask taking the drink slowly. His face seems to brighten considerably.

"I-I'm Aoyaki Kouga." he stutters standing up straight and looking to the sky as if he were at attention in the army.

"Right." I say awkwardly. Hazumi and Juni giggle as Isabelle leans over to whisper to me.

"I've looked him up in the data base. Aoyaki Kouga-san is an average 2nd year student and 3rd ranking position in your official fan club. He's secretary to be exact." she informs. I shake my head.

"I didn't even know I had an 'official fan club' here." I mushroom sigh and turn to Kunimitsu becoming disgusted at the sluts *cough*Claire*cough* hanging over my boyfriend. My blood boils as the girls look in the direction in which my angered gaze is directed.

"Jealous?"Teases Hazumi.

"Hell yeah! Who does she think she is hanging all over him like that?" I question.

"Well, I ain't sayin' she a Gold Digger, 'cause she ain't messin' wit no broke..." sings Umeko. Everyone stares awaiting the end of the lyric.

"Player." We all turn to her an eyebrow rose at her quirkiness. 'Random much?'

"Gomen." she apologizes laughing nervously scratching the back of her head.

"Riiigghht." we chorus unsure.

After a while we all decide to take a break. The fans brought both me and Kunimitsu things that we clearly didn't want, need, or ask for. I sigh and go to hang out with my brother but is stopped by a fairly handsome guy with royal blue hair and dark blue eyes that were almost as beautiful as my little brother Eiji's. He stands at the full height of 6'5", which is 5 inches taller than I can handle. He bows and kisses my hand charmingly.

"My lady, my name is Narumi Shouji, president of Kizuka-hime's fan club. I hope our love for you does not make you uncomfortable." he says. I sweat drop.

"Actually it is." I tell him. He nods.

"I see." he turns to the crowd of young men, a scowl on his face.

"Our lady is despised by your presence, go home!" he yells.

'I didn't say all that.' They comply with a groan as Hazumi come up to my side.

"If I were you, I'd milk their service for all it's worth." she whispers. I gain another sweat drop.

"Then you can have them." I tell her annoyed. She huffs crossing her arms.

"I was only saying." Nami, holding her bear tightly whispers softly.

"I think Buchou-nee is annoyed with more than just the fan boys, but Claire and Nii-senpai's fan girls." Juni and Isabelle nod in agreement.

"Why do you think I left Fudomine in the first place? It wasn't because I felt like it, although it is a nice change."

"Hazumi?" Hazumi and I stop whispering at the voice. We turn to see Tachibana Kippei, Fudomine's buchou and his sister Ann.

"Oh hi." Hazumi says putting on a smile that I've come to know as fake.

'Why is she..? Oh yeah. That's the guy that was playing when we first met. Wasn't that her boyfriend?' I think. I try to walk away to give them privacy but Hazumi pulls me back, forcefully might I add, by her side. I give a forced sweet smile.

"Kippei have you met my best friend Kizuka? She's Ryoma's older sister and Tezuka's future wife." she introduces. I turn my gaze to her, my forced sweet smile turning into a deadly sweet one.

'I'm going to KILL her!!!' I yell, in my mind, of course. Basically Hazumi holds me hostage during her talk with her 'ex', so I kind of had to tune them out. I look around searching for my initial object before all this crap happened to see him fighting off some 12 year old mini whore. I glare breaking away from Hazumi to shout across to her.

"Hey! GET YOUR ASS AWAY FROM MY BROTHER!" Everyone stops what they are doing all attention directed toward me and my yell. I march over to them, Ryoma backing away slightly sensing my anger.

"Can't you take a hint? He obviously doesn't like you, and you haven't been approved by me, now back off!" I say in a deathly calm voice. Momo, Kunimitsu, and Oishi try holding me back from making sure I don't slap her like the whore she is. She crosses her arms, smacking on her gum, shifting her weight from one foot to the other.

"And who the hell are you?" she demands with attitude. I'm seriously about a second away from beating the shit out of her.

"I could ask you the same thing." she smirks. "Me? I'm Ryoma-sama's future wife, Urasaki Sukai."

"Not on my life will you be with my brother." I growl. Umeko comes up next to the valedictorian of Bitch Academy bowing respectfully.
"Gomen, Kizuka-senpai. My sister can be a disrespectful whore. Go easy on her, onegai." I switch my gaze from between the 2 girls.

"This? This is your little sister? I hope she's a bastard child." I say. Before she can answer, however, the slut pushes Umeko out of the way.

"Urusai! I will be Ryoma-sama's bride."

"Or what!?" I taunt threateningly taking a forced step forward. You know being held back and all. Not much happens after that. I told Chibi-chan that if that bitch comes near him again to tell me and I'll handle it, also dubbing the freshmen his bodyguards. Kunimitsu makes sure I don't 'accidentally' back slap the insolent child and get charged of child abuse. Not that I would get caught or anything.

After my little spat with her, she got into it with both Juni and Hazumi. I think that child is asking for a death wish. I mean if we kill her who would know we did it? Sighing heavily I sit on the bench as the boys continue their mock matches. Kunimitsu follows suit crossing both legs and arm and closing his eyes in deep thought.

"Dollar for your thoughts?" I ask. He looks at me.

"The expression is 'Penny for your thoughts'." he corrects. I smile wittily.

"I know. It's just that your thoughts are worth more and are more complicated to understand...sometimes." I add. He chuckles.

"I guess. I was thinking about the dance the school is having."I roll my eye.

"Oh, don't tell me Hazumi has corrupted you into entering that damn competition." he shakes his head.

"No, just the regular dance. I was wondering if I could escort my beautiful girlfriend." I smile at the compliment he slipped in.

'Smooth, real smooth.'

"Of course. An invite from my handsome boyfriend is not so easy to decline." I reply giving him a simple kiss.

-Hazumi-

I lean against the outside of the gate near Kizuka and Tezuka, listening in on their ever so interesting conversation. I hear a few things about the dance, my name, and some other mushy crap. The one thing that sticks out to me is that neither of them wants to take part in the contest which makes me grin.

'If they don't want to do it, I'll force them to do it. Of course, with a little help.' I think walking over to my crush. I tap his shoulder to get his attention, which I succeed at doing.

"Hi Fuji-kun. I was just wondering if you could help me with a problem." I say grinning. He catches it quickly.

"What's the problem?" he inquires amused. I smirk.

"Well...."

-B2ME-

Sometime after our conversation I fell asleep. It was a nice nap too because Kunimitsu's lap served as a very comfy pillow. The only downside was being woken up by my annoying, and I really do stress the word, friends. I rub my eyes, still 1/2 asleep, with a yawn. The first thing I see is very-unwanted-close up view of Umeko's face. I scream falling over the back of the bench. (note: It's a backless stone bench.)

"Itai!!" I shout gaining swirly eyes. That really does hurt.

"Sumimasen Kizuka-senpai!" exclaims Umeko, panicking. When I gain consciousness again I see another unexpected smirking, glasses glaring face.

"Here Kizuka-san. It'll make you feel better." insists Inui holding out a glass of extremely dark green liquid. I freak out and jump behind the impervious Kunimitsu.

"No, I'm fine, Inui. Really." I assure hoping he'll buy it, which he does by shrugging and downing the slimy drink. Hazumi, Juni, Momo, Kaidoh, Eiji, Nami, Isabell, Oishi, and I turn visibly pale.

'Ewwww!!!' we all think simultaneously. Not that we can hear each other.

After calling it a day we all decide to go get...ICE CREAM!!! YAY! I know you want some, but too bad. Unless you got some in the freezer then good for you, if not...SOLL. For all the slow newbie's it means: So out of Luck Loser! Ha, ha. Sorry. So yeah we go to my favorite ice cream place *drum roll* Cold Stone. As a treat I pay for everyone so they can't use the 'you've never done anything for me' bit.

"This is delicious Kizu-neechan!"Exclaims Momo. The gluttonous baka.

"Fsst. Urusai, I'm trying to eat peacefully." retorts Kaidoh before he gets hit on the head with a foreign object. Namely a wooden mallet. I shake my head at the feuding cousins.

"Never any peace."

On the walk back to the mansion we run into a road block. A huge road block. A road block made of fans both mine and Kunimitsu's. Claire and Shouji out in front of their respective clubs.
"What do you want?" asks Nami. They glare at her as if to say 'shut up' and then turn their piercing gazes to us. I jump a bit.

"We want them to break up!" they shout. I sweat drop in annoyance.

"And what makes you think we're going to break up just because you two demand it?" I questions through clinched teeth.

"Because you/he can do better than him/you." They chorus. I sigh heavily rubbing my temples.

'Someone remove these insolent morons from my path' I think irritated. As if my prayers are heard a car comes zooming down the street breaking the group momentarily. I manage to catch a glimpse of the driver as it passes.

'Who in their right mind gave that bastard a car?' I think but some back to the situation and the shocked fans.
"Everyone split up and meet at the house!" I yell, they nod and we all end up running in different directions.
I run as fast as I can, not daring to look behind me afraid of what I might see. I take a sharp turn into a back alley and hide behind a trashcan. They look into the dark knocking over a bag that caused some rats to scurry across the alley. I hear Claire scream and I cover my mouth to hold back a laugh.

"I'll find her and make her pay for what she's done to me and for taking my Tezuka-kun." she huffs and walks away with her mob. When I feel the coast is clear I move from my hiding place, dust myself off, and peek around the corner cautiously.

"All clear." I confirm taking out my cell phone.

"Moshi, Moshi. Echizen residence."

"Airen, I need a getaway car."

"Why? What's the trouble?"

"Well, long story short, Fans + KuniXKizu = reckless violence."

"Ok. I'll be there."

"No, send Rei."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"Your location?"

I look around trying to find some indication of where I am. I sigh as I spot something.

"I'm at...home." I groan.

"Ok, he'll be there, oh and many guests have arrived a bit out of breathe. I assume they've be running as well."

"Indeed they have, Ja."

"Bai, bai." I hang up and walk up the temple steps and into the house.

"Ah, Kizuka-chan, what brings you here?" asks Nanao surprised. I sulk to the kitchen and sit down.

"Why does Oyaji have a car?" I ask. She puts a finger to her chin in thought.

"Eto...I don't know." she confesses. I glare at her.

"You left the imbecile unsupervised?!" I shout mostly out of frustration.

"Gomenasi, I didn't mean to." I wave my hand dismissively and shake my head.

"Don't worry. It's not your fault. I'm just..." I am interrupted by my cell phone ringing.

"Moshi, Moshi."

"Kizuka-sama, I'm outside."

"Sugoi!" I hang up abruptly running out the door without a second glance. Rei is there on a motorcycle, I had given him for his birthday about 2 years ago, and helmet secure on his head. I run up to the bike, take the helmet from his outstretched hand, put it on, and get on the back.

"Hang on." he instructs.

"I know. It's you who's driving." he laughs at the comment before facing forward to see a panting mob of boys and girls. I glare.

"What should I do Kizuka-sama?" questions Rei.

"Actually Rei I think I should drive." his eye go wide.

"You...sure?" I nod.

"Yeah." we hurriedly switch spots and rev the engine.

"Hang on tight."I say darkly. '3...2...1' I count down mentally and take off. I stop inches from the mob, smirk and turn around making sure they get a good whiff of the exhaust. I pop a wheelie half way down the street.

"YAHOOOOOO!" yells Rei as we speed to the house.

When we get there I cut off the engine, jump off the bike and run into the house leaving Rei outside.

"Safe." I breathe in relief. I look up to see everyone standing there expectantly.

"Where's Rei?" asks Kamon. I point my thumb behind me.

"Outside." I say nonchalantly putting the helmet on the side table. Just as I do so Rei come in the house panting.

"Well that was a wild ride, Kizuka-sama."

"Do you need me to get them off your back?" asks Kris cocking her machine gun. I shake my head frantically.

"No, I don't think they deserve to die, yet." I add. She nods and goes to put it away in the bullet proof case. I sigh.

"And this is what I get for coming here." I shake my head as everyone goes to do their own thing and the girls get their first tour of the place.

"But I guess it was worth it."
