The Quest:

Running down the steps, Kazuya almost ran right into the Apartment Manager and the much older woman gasped in shock. "What is your hurry Mister Kinoshita?" Kynono Nejire asked with wher hands on her hips as she glared at him. But she was smiling so Kazuya suspected that she was not that angry at him.

"Sorry Miss Nejire...But I am late for Class and I overslept." Kazuya quickly said not about to mention the reason he had overslept. That he had spent the night in his Girlfriend's Apartment and Chizuru had forgotten to set her Alarm Clock. It had been a pure accident that he had slept over at her Apartment. After dinner they had both decided to watch a TV Movie that was on. Then as they sat basically cuddling with her on his lap in her Large Sofa Chair. They both had dozed off to sleep and before either knew what was happening the sun was shinning in through her Balcony Window. Which indicated just how late it was. He had a morning class while Chizuru did not. In fact she did not have anything until later that afternoon when she had to go to a Commercial Audition.

"Then you better get going." Kynono said gesturing towards the College Campus and Kazuya ran off. "Dang! I wanted to...Oh well I guess I will talk to her about it." With that she ascended the steps and went to Chizuru's door. Knocking on it and within moments the door opened.

"Miss Neijre...Uhm is there something wrong?" Chizuru asked somewhat confused on why the Apartment Manager had knocked on her door. She knew she was not late with the rent and usually the Elder Woman would put a notice in her Mailbox if there was any Repairs that needed to be done. So she had no idea why the other was there.

"No not really. I was wondering if you had time so that I could show you something?" Kynono asked and Chizuru slowly nodded.

"Yes...I guess so." Chizuru replied now really confused. The elder woman led her downstairs and to one of the bottom floor Apartments. Which was a one bedroom Apartment. She opened the door with a key and they both stepped inside the vacant Apartment.

"Shoto and Keiko Haigo just moved and in about two weeks this Apartment will become available." Kynono told her as she guided Chizuru around the Apartment. "It has a twelve foot by ten foot Bedroom and as you can see the Main Room is about the size of your Studio Apartment." Gesturing about the room.

"Is there a reason why you are showing me this Apartment?" Chizuru asked completely confused and the Elder Woman smiled at her.

"Well I thought that you might be interested in it." Kynono said and Chizuru gasped.

"Why would you think that?" Chizuru asked in shock and Kynono chuckled.

"I do not mean just yourself...But perhaps you and someone else might be interested." Kynono said and smiled as Chizuru blushed a bright shade of red. "The Rent is one and a half more then you are paying right now and due to you are a current Resident there would be no Security Deposit. So what do you think?"

"Uhm...Well...I would have to...Wait a minute how do you know about...who do you mean by someone else?" Chizuru asked and Kynono laughed.

"I have been the Apartment Manager here for almost ten years and I sort of notice things. Especially about any of the tenants here. Like the fact that you and Kazuya Kinoshita are extremely close. I have also seen you two holding hands and...Going out together." Kynono told her and again Chizuru blushed. Then lowered her gaze down at the floor.

"I would have to talk to him about...I do not know if either of us are ready to...do that yet. Move in together." Chizuru said softly feeling extremely embarrassed. Again Kynono chuckled and shook her head.

"I easily believe that you two are ready. So ask him or rather from what I know of you Chizuru...Tell him you are moving in together." Kynono stated firmly and Chizuru smiled. She knew when the elderly Woman was being serious due to she called her by her given name rather then her last name. So with a small nod.

"Alright I will and you probably are right about us...being ready." Chizuru said and without asking Kynono handed her the Rental Agreement Form that she would need to get Kazuya to fill out with her.

There was another reason why Kazuya was in a rush this morning and it had nothing to do with Classes. In about three days was the anniversary of when he had first met Chizuru Mizuhara and he wanted to get her a gift. The main problem was he had no idea what to get her. At one point he had considered asking his Grandmother, but then decided that might be a really really bad idea. "Knowing Grans...She would suggest that Ring again." He muttered as he sat in class trying to listen to the boring lecture the Professor was giving. In front of him hidden by a book was his Cellphone as he flipped through possible gift ideas. Each one failed miserably in his mind. He was looking for something that would easily tell Chizuru how much he was in love with her. "Crap! That would be the engagement Ring. Man I am so screwed. What gift can I get her that is not...not that?" He said that last part just loud enough to catch the attention of the person sitting in front of him. To his dismay and horror it was Mami Nanami. His EX Girlfriend that had not only dumped him. But the same Mami who for some reason he suspected resented him for moving on from her. That was what Chizuru told him. That Mami was not a good person. That she was a vindictive bitch that sought out to make his life miserable. When class was over, he tried to leave without talking to her. But again his luck really sucked. For Mami was waiting for him in the Hallways.

"Kazuya. Can I talk to you for a minute?" Mami asked and Kazuya exhaled with a deep sigh. Now believing his luck really really really sucked. He shrugged and she then led him outside to a secluded spot. Turning back towards him. "Did I hear you right? That you are looking for a gift for...for Chizuru." He nodded.

"Yes. It is...For the Anniversary of when we first met. I want to get her something special." Kazuya said and Mami glared at him angrily.

"I know about her being a Rental Girlfriend! It is just plain stupid for you to get her a gift! Or is this just some other pathetic attempt to show off Chizuru some more? Make it look like she is your real girlfriend? If it is...Then you need to stop...Because...!" Mami declared in frustration over how much she hated how he was doing that. In her mind it was pathetic and it really pissed her off. Kazuya shook his head.

"Guess you would not know this since we have kept it a secret. One...Chizuru is no longer a Rental Girlfriend anymore...She quit about...Two weeks ago." Kazuya told her and then smiled broadly. "Oh and two...We are a couple now...A real one. She is my Real Girlfriend and...We love each other." He felt a little satisfied when Mami stared at him in utter shock.

"Wait! For real? Like you two are really dating?" Mami asked him and Kazuya nodded.

"Yep. In fact...It is all thanks to you and a couple of others that...We got together." Kazuya knew the second he told her that. Mami would almost blow a gasket. Instead the blonde girl shook her head vigorously.

"No! No! No!...This is impossible! Why would a girl that is as beautiful as Chizuru want you?" Mami asked in disbelief and Kazuya chuckled.

"Who knows? I guess that is one of the mysteries of the unknown." Kazuya said and then gestured with his right hand. "Well I got to go...I am on a quest to find something appropriate that tells her how much I am in love with her." As he began to walk away, he noticed that Mami was still fuming over what he had told her. "You know what...That was strangely satisfying." He thought as he headed for the small outlet Mall near the Campus. Hoping to find that special something that did not involve an Engagement Ring.

After getting the Part in the Commercial, Chizuru felt giddy and could not wait to tell Kazuya. As she made her way back home, she came to the realization that it was really wonderful to have someone to share things with. Her Grandmother had been right about she needing someone to share her good times and bad with. This time would be her getting the Part in a Deodorant Commercial. It was another step in her goal to becoming an Actress. In her left hand was the Script and she would ask Kazuya to help her memorize her lines. He had been doing that already with her lines for the Play and she could tell that he was no actor. He fumbled through the other lines and to her it was really cute. She smiled. "Wow! I am in love with that adorable goof." To her delight when she reached the Apartment Building, she saw him waiting for her on the Front Balcony. He smiled and waved at her and she waved back. As she climbed the steps.

"Did you get it?" Kazuya asked her and she nodded. "I knew you would." He said and as she neared him.

"There is something we need to talk about." Chizuru told him and had him follow her to her Apartment. Once there she felt a little anxious and it was not about having him in her Apartment. It was about them possibly moving in together. So once inside instead of telling him. She simply handed him the Rental Agreement form and watched as he stared at it wide eyed.

"Okay...I got most of my stuff packed in boxes...I will have to wait until the day we..." Kazuya swallowed heavily and paled slightly. "We...We move in before I drain my Fish Tanks and move them." He looked over at Chizuru who simply nodded. He had helped her this morning pack up some of her own Non-Essentials into boxes and now it was her turn to help him. In less then two days, they were moving in together downstairs. He still felt nervous over the fact that he would be living with her. But she had given him a very convincing argument. That they were basically already living together already. With him in her Apartment or her in his every night and then either of them spending the night in one or the other. Not that they have had sex yet. They both were still waiting for the right time to do that.

"Uhm...Kazuya...I think we should...I think only one Futon would work." Chizuru said blushing madly at the innuendo of what that meant. That they would share the Futon together. "Maybe we could stack mine on top of yours to give us more padding?" She suggested blushing even more. At that he almost dropped the stack of Plates he was packing into a box. He swallowed heavily and blushed as well.

"Okay." Kazuya said softly and before he really embarrassed himself. "I...I am going to take these downstairs." He quickly hoisted the two boxes and made a beeline towards the door. They were still two days away from actually officially moving in, but until then Kynono Nejire was going to let them store their stuff there. As Chizuru watched him almost run out the door. She could relate to his anxiousness and nervousness. She was feeling it as well. In two days they would be living together for real. She was both looking forward to it and at the same time she felt just as nervous and anxious as he did.

"Get it together girl. This is what it means to be in love and to be in a relationship. You live together and then go from there to what comes next." Chizuru said and then thought about the certain legal document she had in her locked Nightstand. It was a Marriage License. All it would need was her signature and seal. Along with his and that would be it. That is if they just wanted to forgo any Ceremony and just get Married. "Of course if we did that...My Grandma, his Grandma, Father and Mother would throw a fit." She then chuckled again thinking how funny it would be to tell them that they had just did it quick and easy without any hoopla. "Yes they would throw a major fit." Just then Kazuya returned and she watched as he quickly picked up a couple more boxes. Then leave again only to return to take the last load down for the day. Everything else would be moved two days from now.

With Shun Kuribayashi's help, the two of them carried the Fish Tanks down the steps and right into what would be where Kazuya and Chizuru would be living. While Ruka helped Chizuru with the other Boxes from Chizuru's old Apartment into the new one. Kuri and Ruka were basically the only ones they could trust at the moment since they were the only ones that knew the secret. "I still cannot believe that you and Chizuru are a real couple. I mean that is like totally amazing. Especially someone like Chizuru actually wanting to be with someone like you." Kuri said with a huge smirk and Kazuya smiled as well.

"Yeah well I know what you mean. it still amazes me too." Kazuya said and looked over at Chizuru who smiled warmly at him.

"I cannot believe that only after three weeks...You two are moving in together. Though it is extremely depressing...Because by now I was hoping that you two would have split up so I could have my chance with Kazuya." Ruka said with a wry smile towards Chizuru who shook her head.

"Not happening Ruka...Sorry. But I am in love with him and he is now mine. All mine." Chizuru said possessively and Ruka chuckled. "Though if you are looking for someone...Kazuya told me Kuri is still single and available." She whispered to her new friend and Ruka paled. Then looked over at the other boy there. She remembered when Kuri rented her, that they did have a lot of fun. Yes he was an egotistical jackass, but he treated her extremely better then any of the others that rented her.

"I will have to think about that." Ruka whispered back and stopped looking at Kuri. Then went back to helping Chizuru unpack some of the boxes. Setting up the Fish Tanks and refilling them with Purified Water they put the fish back in from the buckets and with that they were done. Kazuya had been a little worried that Chizuru would not want him to move his Tanks and Fish into their new Apartment. But when he asked her, she said that she had grown to like the fish and thought they were cute. So it all worked out.

That night as they both laid in bed, Chizuru fidgeted nervously with the blanket and she knew Kazuya was just as nervous as she was. This would be the first time that they slept in the same bed. Though they had slept together before, but that mainly occurred when they sat together watching a movie or TV and they would fall asleep. This was totally different in that neither knew what to do or what they should do. "Uhm...Chizuru...Maybe it might be a good idea if I went and slept in the Living Room." Kazuya suggested and Chizuru frowned.

"No! We need to get used to this and...and any delays to that will just make it worse later on." Chizuru stated and then an idea came to her. "Turn on the TV." She told him and he reached over, picked up the remote and turned on the smaller TV that once was in her Apartment. The larger one was out in the Living Room and it had been his. Flipping through the channels, he let it stay on a Reality Fishing Show. Believing that would be boring enough for both of them to easily doze off. He was not expecting for Chizuru to slid over and lay right next to him. Placing her head a few inches from his on his pillow. He swallowed heavily at how close she was. "Relax...We have cuddled before and this is no different then, then." She clasped his right hand in her left and interlaced her fingers into his. After a few minutes they both relaxed enough to watch the TV.

"This is really boring." Kazuya said almost a good ten minutes of the Show where it had two men fishing and not catching anything. Chizuru chuckled and moved his right arm around so that it was around her and put her head partially on his chest.

"Way boring. But...Look he caught one." Chizuru said and both watched as the fish got away in the last second. "Nope false alarm." About halfway through the two hour Show. She yawned which caused Kazuya to yawn and within moments they both dozed off to sleep while the Show continued. Awakening in the morning still laying close to Kazuya, she reached over and turned off the current Info-mercial with delight. Then looked closely to see that Kazuya was also awake.

"Thank you. If I watched any more of that and I might have the urge to actually buy that thing." Kazuya said and Chizuru chuckled.

"What are you going to do with a pair of spiked shoes that Aerates a Yard?" Chizuru asked him and he shrugged.

"I could always use it on my Parents Yard." Kazuya said and Chizuru imagined seeing him stomp all over the Yard claiming that he was Aerating the yard. She laughed which caused him to as well.

"You know you are the only one that can make me laugh like that." Chizuru said still chuckling, thinking back to when they were at the Spa Hotel and he had thought the Soy Sauce was the Soup. It still cracked her up when she thought about that time. It also made her a little frustrated at herself for fighting against the feelings that she had for him. If she had admitted it right from the start then all of the past eight months or so would not have been just a total frustrating mess. "But no...I had to be extremely stupid." She said to herself

"We have a good two hours before we have to actually get up...So...How about we go out for Breakfast?" Kazuya suggested and Chizuru smiled.

"Sounds like a plan." Chizuru reluctantly let go of his right hand and sat up as he did as well. It had already been decided that she got the Bathroom first in the Morning and while she was in the Bathroom. Kazuya went to the kitchen to get the Coffee going. They may go out for breakfast, but Coffee was needed to motivate them to even leave the Apartment.

The Next Week:

During the week, neither really had time to think or be anxious about sleeping in the same bed at night. With Classes, Kazuya's picking up so extra hours at his Job and Chizuru going to The Play Rehearsals and also doing the Commercial. They both arrived at home too tired to even be anxious. Still they did kiss goodnight before going to sleep and they did lay close together on the bed. They also had time in the morning to kiss before leaving to go to Class. By Friday Chizuru realized that they had fallen into a Routine and she did not like it. Just before they parted for the day. "Hold it Kazuya." She grabbed his right forearm pausing him from departing.

"Something wrong Chizuru?" Kazuya asked glancing at his Phone to see what time it is. She glared at him.

"There certainly is...It feels like for the past week that we have fallen into a...Never mind what we have fallen into. It does not matter. But we are not doing that tonight...You are going to take me out to dinner and maybe a movie. Then tomorrow we are going out again and I do not care where." Chizuru told him and Kazuya smiled.

"Okay and you are right about us falling into whatever this is. I think we both need to stop doing that from now on." Kazuya said and Chizuru pulled him closer. Kissing him again. Then they parted and both headed for their Classes in opposite directions.

That afternoon, Chizuru went all out as she got ready for her Date with Kazuya. Wanting to really look good for him. Though she knew when she did that, she would draw some unwanted attention from other Guys. That was not what she wanted. The only attention she did want was from him and only him. When she stepped out of the Bedroom and Kazuya saw her. He gasped loudly and stared at her wide eyed. "Wow...You are absolutely beautiful." He said and she smiled.

"Nailed it." Chizuru whispered and with that they both left for the date. Deciding to eat at Donny's Cafe and then go see a Movie. Walking together holding each others hand as they walked. She started musing over the past year and immediately thought of all the wasted time. If she had admitted that she had fallen for him back right from the beginning then by now everything would have been totally different. "Perhaps by now...We would be...more then this." She muttered drawing his attention.

"Did you say something?" Kazuya asked her and Chizuru shook her head.

"No. So what Movie do you think we should see? I would not mind seeing that new B-Movie...SEWER SHARKS (Made up. But sooner or later you know someone is going to make it.)." Chizuru suggested and Kazuya winced.

"That one! Are you sure? I heard it so...so...ridiculous that it is not much better then any of the SHARKNADO Movies. It has a huge number of impossible situations. Well that is what Kibe told me." Kazuya said and Chizuru giggled.

"That is the whole appeal. When seeing B-Movies." Chizuru told him. "Actually I have an Audition for an upcoming B-Movie called KILLER GIANT CRABS. (Another Made up one.) My Manager says I got a good chance on getting the role of one of the first victims." Kazuya smiled.

"Hey that's great." Kazuya said excitingly and Chizuru smiled. She liked this a lot. Having someone other then her Grandmother to share good news with. Again she thought about all the wasted time and after a few minutes they arrived at Donny's where he asked her about the Movie she was auditioning for. To her dismay during dinner she ended up getting hit on twice. The first time was when Kazuya was in the bathroom and a Man came over and tried to ask her out. Of course she shot him down instantly. The second attempt consisted of having a Waitress bring her a small note with a phone number written on it. With that she crumbled the paper up and tossed it into a nearby Trashcan. Thankfully Kazuya had not seen either, otherwise she would have been extremely upset and probably would have chewed out those would be suiters. After dinner and at the Theatre, with his arm over her shoulders and holding her right hand loosely. Chizuru laid her head against him as they watched a Movie full of plot holes and subpar mediocre special effects and acting. "And you are going to star in this type of Movie." He whispered to her as they both found it amusing when a Shark somehow came up through a toilet to kill an unsuspecting victim who was about to throw up from drinking too much.

"That is what it takes...I was told that when you first get started you have to take roles that...are this bad." Chizuru whispered back, remembering an old interview from an accomplished Actress that had said that she first did a really embarrassing Tampon Commercial. Chizuru was glad she had not done any of those yet. But she knew at some point she probably will have to do some role like that sooner or later. When the movie was over and it was time to head for home. She had decided prior that tonight would be the night for them to do more then just sleep in the same bed and she was feeling a little anxious. She did not know that he also feeling anxious because he also had plans for tonight and it involved a certain item that his Grandmother had sent to him via certified mail. The same item that his Grans and her Grandmother had tried to get him to use the last time they visited. Chizuru instantly noticed his expression and his anxiety. Masking hers completely. "Uhm...Kazuya is there something wrong?" She asked him as they walked towards their Apartment Building. He paled and began to sweat.

"I...Can we wait until we get home? There is something I...I want to ask you." Kazuya said nervously and really began to sweat.

"Okay." Chizuru said skeptically and wondered if perhaps he was having the same thought as her. That perhaps it was time they became more intimate. It really surprised her when they entered their Apartment and he dropped down prone onto the floor. Then it shocked her even more when he proposed.

The End or the Beginning: Who Knows
