-Onodera's POV-

"So my first kiss was gone just like that, huh!" Onodera sighed as she was feeling really weird of all this revelation, she wished Kise had just kept the kissing part to himself. But that wasn't the only thing that was bothering her.

She now and then dreamt of this boy who she played with and she knew for certain that in one of those dreams, there was someone dressed as a prince. 'Could he be...' She thought to herself as she shook her head.

"No, it can't be. After all, Kise-Kun seems to remember our encounter really well, but what if he really is the guy." Onodera was confused as she decided to ask her mom more clearly about Kise.

------------------------------------------------------

"Kise-sama, you've really surpassed my expectation." Ryuu said as he looked at Kise who was on the ground, "To think, you'll get so good in a week's time."

"Was I good?" Kise chuckled in a self-mocking way, "I couldn't even land a proper hit."

"You were really good for your first spar." Ryuu said seriously, "Your defense was almost perfect but the thing you lack is your focus on attacks. But it is normal, after all, you've only practiced Kata's and that too for a week only."

"Ryuu, do you think I can improve within 23 days?"

"Is there something special on the 23rd?" Ryuu asked, "Well, I believe you can do it. If you want I'll make time for daily spars so you can get the hang of it since it feels like it's really important to you."

"Really? Thank you, Ryuu." Kise stood up excited.

"Yeah and I think it'll be better if you spar with different members too. Since most of us attack in different ways, like different speed and rhythm." Ryuu said as he burst out laughing, "But I didn't really expect Kise-sama to be such a battle junkie."

"Well, I want to be strong enough to make sure no one looks down on me," Kise said earning Ryuu appraisal.

"Are you going to come or should I eat everything?" Raku said filling his mouth with another strawberry daifuku, his favorite sweet.

"Hey! Leave some for me-" Kise complained but stop on his way, remembering something crucial. He had forgotten that Raku had a total crush on Onodera. Wondering what his reaction would be if Raku ever found out that his crush's first kiss was taken by him, Kise gulped, "You know as a fact, I am not that hungry, you can have it all if you want to."

"You sure?" Raku said, "But these are really good. I guess I should start learning about sweets as well. By the way, where did you buy this from?"

"It was a gift." Kise said wondering if he should really tell him, but decided to be honest in the end, "From Kosakicchi's mom."

"Kosakicchi? Is she your friend?" Raku said shoving another daifuku in his mouth, "Why do I feel like I've heard the name before."

"Well she's your crush after all." Kise said leaving Raku with his mouth wide open, as he dropped a daifuku on the ground. "Stop overreacting, this is why I didn't want to tell you."

"Wa-Wait! Why did Onodera's mom give you sweets?"

"Jealous?" Kise teased, "Hmm, now that I think about it, Nanako-san would easily accept me as her son-in-law."

'Son-in-law' These words echoed in Raku's head as he began falling under what seemed like an endless void before a smack in his head woke him up.

"I am just kidding, you dense-idiot." Kise said, "Though Kosakicchi is quite cute, she isn't my type at all. You see, I prefer hot and sexy over cuteness. And even if I did like someone cute, I wouldn't fall for a girl whom my friends like."

Raku's lips twitched wondering if he should be glad for Kise not targeting Onodera or be angry for him insulting Onodera. "You seem really close with her but how come you never talk with each other in class."

"Well at first, I was a bit upset with her for not remembering me but now I am over it." Kise said, "Don't think much, it's nothing special, we just went to the same elementary school and were really good friends like you and me."

"You sure that's it?"

"If you keep on doubting me, I'll seriously take her away from you." Kise said heading for the bath.

"Don't! I won't doubt you, so don't!"

-----------------------------------------------------

"You seriously don't like her?" Raku questioned, "Why was she so flustered after meeting you today in class?"

It was lunch break as both Raku and Kise were heading for the roof to have their lunch in peace as a part of Kise's idea.

"If you notice those things then why can't you see how she acts towards you, you idiot." Kise said looking annoyed, "And besides look at me, why wouldn't a girl be flustered talking with me."

Raku was about to refute him when he saw their homeroom teacher, smoking with a swelled up face.

"Onizuka-sensei?" Raku questioned as Onizuka noticed the two of them.

Kise suddenly began laughing as he understood what had happened, "So should I say, I-told-you-so?"

"Don't bug me." Onizuka said turning his face away, "Your face reminds me of her."

"So what did you say to her, for you to get beaten up so badly?"

"I don't know." Onizuka said frustrated, "We were just chatting when I said something along the line of, 'We should skip dating and go for marriage since we're both of age' and before I know it, punches were raining down on my face."

"The first rule for dealing with my aunt is not mentioning anything related with her age," Kise said as he filled up Raku on what was going on. "By the way, Onizuka-sensei, I had a favor I want to ask from you?"

"What is it? If it's about me helping you with Akane-chan, then forget about it." Onizuka said, "I don't want to die before I get married."

"It's not that." Kise said with his lips twitching, "I want to learn how to ride a motorbike, so can you teach me?"

"Blond hair and earrings, do you want to be a delinquent Kise-kun?"

"Unlike yours my hair is natural." Kise snorted, "And besides if riding a bike makes you a delinquent, then what are you?"

"A delinquent who is also a teacher." Onizuka said shamelessly.

"If you help me I'll help you get a date." Kise baited Onizuka as the other party looked at him with interest, "Not my aunt but you know, I am a model so meeting other pretty female models is within my reach. Maybe if one of them is interested in dating a teacher, then I can fix things for you."

"You just had to say so." Onizuka said quickly putting his arms around him, "So when do you want to learn? My precious 'Kawasaki 750' runs smoother than butter, you know. But since you're one of my best students, I will let you learn on it."

"How about tomorrow after school?" Kise said, "You should learn too Rakucchi since Onizuka-sensei is being so generous, we should take advantage of the situation."

"I'll be fine." Raku said wondering how many new hobbies Kise planned on having.
