Next chapter. R&R. And I'm sorry if I didn't say this before, but forgive me if any of the characters seem OOC.

"Salutations," Suzuno said as she walked into the apartment. "And Good Hanzo, what did you order now?"

"Actually, the girl in the apartment below us made this." Urushihara said as he put a dragon costume into the closet.

"Oh, I keep forgetting Ms. Okamura is a gifted seamstress." she said.

"Yep, made the costume I needed. And cheap to. Only $20."

"That is not cheap." she said.

"Considering Maou spent $400 on reservations at "Cheezy Chipmunks"." he said. "Yes, that is cheap."

"Very well." she said. "Speaking of the party, did you tell Emi what happened?"

"No," he said. "Shortly after you left and before she came to pick her up. I had to bribe Alas=Ramus with candy to not tell her parents about the party being cancelled."

"Good Hanzo, this is the only time you'll hear me say this. But you screwed yourself by doing that."

"Why and how?" he said.

"Remember the one time you said a bad word in front of her..."

"Don't remind me." he said. "Besides, how was I supposed to know Emi would take that out of context?"

"Take what out of context?" a voice asked.

Turning his head, Urushihara saw a girl with around his age with long black hair and grey eyes standing in the doorway; her black tank top clinging a little too close to her torso and her jeans clinging to her behind as Suzuno hit him in the arm to keep him from staring too long. "H-Hey, Kimmy." he said. "What's up?"

"Nothing much, I just came up here to give your cell phone back. You left it down stairs when you tried on the dragon costume."

"Thanks," he said, taking his phone back from her.

"Oh, and by the way." she said, as she turned to leave. "Your friend Maou called, he said you have a doctor's appointment to go to."

He groaned.

"Don't be a baby about it." she said. "Come on, I'll give you a ride."

Groaning again, he pulled on his shoes and put on the baseball cap that he usually wore outside before he left and locked the door with Suzuno right behind him.

~Later~

"Okay, Mr. Urushihara. We're almost done." the doctor said as he typed something into his laptop before he put it down on the desk behind him and put his stethoscope in his ears; pressing it against Urushihara's back. "Deep breath."

Obeying the doctor, Urushihara took a deep breath as his phone went off. "Hello?" he asked.

"What the hell were you thinking, leaving the house?!" Ashiya shouted.

Urushihara rolled his eyes. "I had a doctor's appointment." he said as he felt his heart rate speed up. "Why?"

"You took my key!" he shouted.

"No, you left your key at the apartment." Urushihara said before he hissed in pain, making the doctor press the stethoscope to his back again.

"Urushihara, you better not be spending his majesty's money again." he said.

"I'm not. How can I get Maou's wallet when he's working?" he asked before he hissed again in pain. "Look, I gotta go. We'll talk more when I get back." He hung up the phone as the doctor put the stethoscope around his neck again.

"Sounds like your roommates cause you a great deal of stress." he said.

"Just the one really." he said as he winced at the pain.

"Interesting..." the doctor muttered.

"Excuse me?" Urushihara asked.

"Mr. Urushihara, I have diagnosed and treated many irregular heartbeats." the doctor said. "But you're a rare case. You're heartbeat's relatively normal until you're put under a great deal of stress, or you get very angry but can't really express it."

"Please don't tell me you want to run tests." he groaned. "I have to entertain the kids at my niece's birthday party."

"Really?" the doctor asked. "How old is she turning?"

"Three. And we were going to have the party at "Cheezy Chipmunk's Playhouse". But the roommate I just got off the phone with cancelled the reservations. And I'm the one that's going to get in trouble because he's going to blame me."

Really?" he asked. "Well, unfortunately, we are going to run some tests. But I'll wait until after next week." He picked up his perscription pad and scribbled something down. "In the mean time, I'm going to give perscription to help with the way you're body handles stress."

"How so?" he asked.

"It should just keep your heartbeat from going erratic in the case that you're put in a stressful situation." the doctor said. "Just take one pill whenever you wake up in the morning."

"Okay," he said. "Thanks doc."

~Later~

"So you have to take pills to help deal with the stress?" Kimmy asked as Urushihara looked at something on a shopping website.

"Pretty much." he said. "And even though there are different methods for dealing with stress, I'm too lazy to try them out."

"Yeah, but Urushihara, you already owe Maou twenty bucks for that costume I made for you." she said. "Not to mention all the other things you buy off the internet. Speaking of which, what are you trying to buy now?"

"Decorations for the cake." he said.

"You're honestly going to try and bake a cake, given the fact that you have no baking knowlege?" she asked. "This oughta be entertaining."

"Well, I can't exactly buy the cake. You said it yourself, I already owe Maou a lot of money." he said.

"Or," she said. "I can bake the cake and decorate it seeing as how last time you used the stove, you almost burnt down that wall. And I'll do it for free."

"Really?" he asked. "Thanks."

"It's no problem." she said, seeing his computer screen. "And I can see your niece is a fan of Hamtaro."

"Yeah, it's hard to find a good website with kid cartoons on it that are in Japanese." he said as he clicked the "buy" button, only to be met with a window that alerted him that he couldn't get into Maou's account. "What the..." He hacked into Maou's bank account and saw that it had been frozen until further notice. "Damn it. Maou froze his account."

"That's okay," Kimmy said. "I can make the decorations myself with some modeling chocolate. It's no big deal."

"Thanks Kim," he said. "If I could, I'd kiss you."

"Hara, I have boyfriend back in the U.S." she said.

"A guy can dream, can't he?" he said.

Kimmy sighed and put a hand on his head. "Keep dreaming." she said before she stood up and put her shoes back on. "By the way, did your niece say what flavor cake she wanted?"

"A lot of the kids wanted different flavors actually." he said, turning away from his computer screen. "So I think you might just want to make cupcakes so that everyone's happy."

"Alright," she said. "See ya tomorrow, Hara."

"See ya." he said as she went back downstairs.

Sighing, he closed out of the shopping site and looked up at the night sky; Maou and Ashiya should be home any minute. God, he thought, moving his hair off his face. I know I don't ask for much, but please, keep Maou from ruining Alas=Ramus' party.

R&R.
