Saikyou: hah, funny… NO WAY  IN HELL!!! U HAVE TO TAKE ME ON A DATE!!!!

Pero: eeep!

          Today was a lovely day for a walk, expecially for Ritsu Sohma. Now, Ritsu had changed a lot, ever since Tohru had been around, he had started wearing men's clothing, and was going to Tokyo University, too. He even discovered his special gift, he was a great actor, and now was taking acting classes, he was even being more assertive.

          "Ghaaa! Oh no, my bag, what will I ever do?" a female voice shouted. Ritsu turned his head to discover a girl, a very pretty girl. She had long, chestnut brown hair, and bright green eyes. She was wearing a short sleeve blouse and a pleated skirt.

          "Um, excuse me Miss, are you alright?" Ritsu asked the girl. She turned to him, holding a heap of music books in her hand, appaently most about piano. She smiled at him, a very pretty smile, and spoke up, "Oh no, don't waste your time on me, I was just going some where when my bag broke, and-"

          "Well then, why don't you sit down here, and let's talk? That is, if you're not in a hurry, and maybe I can buy you a new bag."

          "That would be nice, thank you." She said, "Sorry, I almost forgot to intoduce myself, I'm Rina Oshina, and it's nice to meet you."

          "I'm Ritsu Sohma, and no, the pleasure's all mine." He said.

          They both sat down on the bench, and Ritsu began the conversation, "So, Rina-san, you like music?"

          "Oh no, not at all, these are actually for the head my family, Sakura, she's very nice, I just went out to pick up her books, she's the family musician. So, what University do you go to? I go to Tokyo U!" Rina said.

          "Really? I go to Tokyo U as well!" Ritsu exclaimed.

          Rina spoke up again, "Listen, Ritsu-sama,would you like to come with me back to my family's house area?You could meet my other family, and maybe, if it's not to much trouble, you could come get some icecream with me?"

          "Alright," Ritsu said, and the two started to walk towards Oshina house. They reached the house with 15 minutes.

"Hmmm? Sumeki-chan, look!" a young woman said. She had black hair that touched her shoulders and deep brown eyes. Her name was Sakura, and she was head of the Oshina family. Sakura was born on a rainy day, and hated a day like to day. Sakura loved music, and practiced the piano, but when she gets nervous, she tends to cut linolium blocks, which makes her cut herself.

"Is that Rina?" asked Sumeki. Sumeki, Sume, or Meki-chan, was born under the sign of the cow, and had long black and white striped hair and dark blue eyes. She was totally gothic, wearing a black mini skirt and black top, with fish-nets and high black boots. A cross was strung around her neck. Now you shouldn't let her appearance fool you, she is acutually very nice and pretty.

          Sakura spoke again, "Imagine that! Our little Na-chan, as timid as she is, with a boy! And a handsom one at that!"

It was true, Rina usually was very shy with boys, but this time, somehow, she felt secure and safe with him.

"Here let's go in, Ritsu-sama, I'm sure my cousins and younger sister would like to meet you." Rina said, and opened the door. Ritsu and Rina walked in as Sumeki and Sakura snapped their head towards the door.

"Um, Hello every one! I brought some one with me, Every one, this is Ritsu Sohma, Ritsu-sama,points to Sakura this is Sakura, my cousin and the head of the family, and this is points to Sumeki Sumeki, my younger sister." Rina said with a smile.

Sakura's eyes widened, "Did- did you say…Sohma?"

          It had only been about 3 minutes since every one else had left, and Kira and Hatori had not spoken to each other since. Kira felt so embarressed being left alone with Hatori, even though she liked him a lot.

          "F-forgive me," She said, breaking the silence, "well—forgive my cousin, she's very perverted and devious."

          "You don't need to apologize, my cousin was part of it too, and he's not exactly all that great, but then again, I can always threaten him by saying I'll tell the publishing industry every embarressing thing he's done since the age of four." Hatori said.

          Kira giggled at this, which made Hatori smile. For once in his life, Hatori was actually glad that Shigure had left them alone.

          "What is this feeling?" Hatori thought.He actually felt his heart beating in his chest. It was so loud, almost as if the whole entire room was filled with sound from his heartbeat. Then again, Kira apparently didn't seem to notice.

          "Hatori-san, are you alright?" Kira asked, and her face came close to his, which made Hatori's skin turn slightly pink.

          "It's nothing, really I jus-"

          "Is it me? Do you not like me? Is that it? Do I bother you? Because if you don't like me, I could lea-"

          "No, it's not you, it's,well… would you, um, liktogoutodenerorsumtin?"

          "Pardon?" Kira asked.

          Hatori took a deep breath, "Would you like to go to dinner with me?"

          Kira was in a state of shock for a second, and then replied-

Saikyou:Muhwa! Cliff hanger, plus I had a great date.
