Mail can be sent to my Internet address at rogers@cannet.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Part 1 ---------- Narration: The plane touches down, and I arrive in Japan at 1 p.m. I'm particpating in my school's foreign exchange student program. I figure since this is my Senior year, I might as well try almost everything, within reason, the school has to offer me that might be the least bit interesting. Oh, I'm Lee Conan, age 17. I was getting bored with school anyways. I walk around the airport lugging my luggage in both of my hands, and I finally see a sign that reads "Conan". That must be the person that the school selected as my host father. He looked like your average high school student around my age. Guy: Are you Lee Conan? Lee: Hai.*1 Guy: Good. My name is Hiroji Susuki. Narration: After a long drive, and a long intersting, sometimes confusing conversation with Hiroji. Confusing, because my Japanese is not perfect, yet. I can understand 95% of the conversation. I did learn that Hiroji is 23 years old. He looks young for his age. He also tells me that he is married, but his wife, Ami Susuki, is visiting a sick relative. We arrive at his home where the school set up for me to stay. Hiroji unlocks the door, and we slip off our shoes when we're inside. Hiroji's house has very Western influence. Lee (Yawns): I'm kind of tired from the flight. Where is my room ? Hiroji: Upstairs, second door on your right. Lee: Arigato.*2 [Hiroji's House 5:00p.m.] Narration: I head up to my room to unpack, and get some rest. I wake up starving. I look over to what time it is. 5 p.m. I wonder what Hiroji has to eat. I change my clothes, and go downstairs. Hiroji is relaxing on the couch watching TV. Hiroji: Ah, Conan-kun you're awake. Lee: Yeah, Susuki-san, I'm up. May I ask what there is for dinner? Hiroji: Hai, but I thought I'd take you to a local restaurant to get a feel for the area. Besides, you just have to see the waitress there. Lee: OI!*3 What a minute! Aren't you supposed to be married? Hiroji: Yes I'm married! I just happened to notice the waitress. Besides, I would never cheat on my Ami-chan! Lee: Gomen naisai.*4 I didn't mean to offend you. So, What's so special about the waitress? Hiroji: She is so kawaii!*5 Then again, Ami-chan is kawaii, too. Anyway, the restaurant has some good food there, as well. I don't usually go there, anymore. I just like to try out the local restaurants so I can give Ami-chan a variety of places to go when she's not in the mood to cook. Lee: O.K. Let's get going. Narration: We stop at a restaurant called 'AbCb' The sign says that it's a pub, and restaurant. Lee:{A pub?! Should I be in a place like this?} [Lee, and Hiroji get a table, and sit down.] Lee: So, Where's the cute waitress you were talking about? Hiroji: Shirenai. Wait here. I'll ask someone. *6 [Hiroji leaves the table, and walks over towards an older man with an apron bearing the restaurant's name. He has brown hair, and a thin beard, and mustache. A door at the back of the restaurant opens, and a young girl with long, black hair a little older than Lee walks out carrying some trays. She's wearing a similar style apron to the older man's apron.] Lee: {Hiroji was right, The waitress is really cute.} [The waitress looks over in Lee's direction, and sets the trays in a holder. She walks over to Lee's table.] Waitress: Konbawa. May I take your order?*7 Lee: {Even her voice is cute. Her name tag says that her name is: Ayukawa Madoka. Let's see.. her last name would pronounced: } Ayu-kawa. {Oops! I can't believe I sounded out her last name out loud! Not only that, but I sounded like an idiot!} Madoka (giggles): You're new here, ne?*8 Lee (confused): H-Hai. How did you know? Madoka (looks both ways): Do you mind if I sit down? Lee: Iie, I don't mind.*9 [Madoka sets the tray with her order pad, and pencil on the table, and sits down across from Lee.] Madoka (stretches): Ahhh. That feels better. Now, to answer your question of How I knew the you're new here. First, I've never seen you in here before. Second, you look a little confused, and out of place. Third, Usually when I meet someone, they don't sound my name out loud. Lee: Oh, Sorry about that. I just arrived in Japan today. Madoka: So how do you like Japan so far? Lee:I'm beginning to really like it here. Madoka (smiles) That's good. I like it here, too. What's your name? Lee (startled): Nani? Oh, My name is Lee Conan.*10 [Hiroji comes back, and takes a seat. He opens up, and looks at the menu. Madoka quickly stands up, and picks up her tray.] Madoka: Would you like more time to decide what to order? Hiroji: Hai. Madoka nods, and walks away. Lee (to Hiroji): Why did she leave like that? Hiroji: She probably didn't want to seem unprofessional. Lee: That waitress's name is: Madoka Ayukawa. Do you know her? Hiroji: Iie. I've only been here a couple of times. She has never talked to me like she was with you, Conan-kun. Lee: That's odd. Susuki-san, Could I ask you for a favor? Hiroji: Nani? Lee: Next time Ayukawa-san comes over to talk, Don't interrupt us, please. Hiroji (grinning, and chuckling): You sly dog! Within your first day in a new country you're already planning to put the moves on a girl! That's the spirit! Lee (embarassed): SHHH! Keep your voice down! Narration: I notice Madoka talking to a guy at another table. He has dark brown hair, and is neatly dressed. A slightly younger girl with short light brown hair is also talking to Madoka, and is sitting right next to the guy. She looks really happy, and laughs frequently. The girl is probably the guy's girlfriend. Narration: After Hiroji, and I finish the meals we ordered, Hiroji excuses himself to go to the restroom. Madoka comes over to the table, and sits down. Madoka: Hello again, Conan-san. Lee (hesitantly): Ayukawa-san. Madoka: What is it Conan-san. Lee (nervously): Could I ask a you a couple of questions? Madoka: That depends on the questions. What are they? Lee: The first is: Why did you leave so suddenly before? and second is: Who is the dark brown haired guy sitting with his girlfriend that you were talking to earlier? Madoka (confused): First, I left so I wouldn't seem lazy, and because the man you are with knows Master. Second.. the dark haired guy, and his girlfriend that I was talking to earlier are.. Nani? Where? Lee (pointing at Kyosuke, and Hikaru): The dark brown haired guy sitting with his girlfriend, the cheery light brown haired girl who laughs alot. {Master?! Why would she call the guy Hiroji talked to earlier that? Oh well, I think I'll let that slide for now.} Madoka (realizing): Oh, them. Those are my friends Kyosuke Kasuga, and Hikaru Hiyama. They also go to the same school, as I do. Lee: So ka. I hope I wasn't being too nosy.*11 Madoka: I forgive you. Wait! I've got it! Lee: Nani? {What have you got?!} Madoka: Do you want to meet my friends? Lee: Sure. I hate practically not knowing anyone, and being the quote New Kid. {Whew! I'm glad she only had an idea.} Madoka: But first, it's my turn to ask you a question, now. Lee: What is it? Madoka: Why did you think Hikaru was Kasuga-kun's girlfriend? Lee: I sorry about that, Ayukawa-san. Hiyama-san just seems overfriendly towards Kasuga-san. Madoka: No Conan-san, I asked you, and you told me the truth. There's no need to be sorry about that. Well don't just sit there. [Madoka grabs Lee by the wrist, and takes him over to Kyosuke, and Hikaru's table.] Madoka: Kasuga-kun, Hikaru, This is Lee Conan. He just arrived in Japan today. Hikaru: Konbawa! Kyosuke: Konbawa. How are you Conan-san? Customer: Waitress, Waitress! Madoka: Conan-kun, you can stay here. I've got to get back to work. I'll come back later. Lee: O.K. Ja Ne. *12 Madoka goes over to the customer. Lee: I'm fine, Kasuga-san. Kyosuke: That's good to hear. How do you know Ayukawa? Lee: I just met Ayukawa-san a little while ago. She was taking a break, and we had a nice talk. Kyosuke: I was just curious that's all. Hikaru (pointing at Hiroji): Uh, Conan-san. I think your friend is back. Wait a second, I recognize him now. That man and his wife houses exchange students. Conan-san, Are you an exchange student? Lee: Hai. Hikaru (smiling): That means you'll be going to same school as Madoka-san, Darling, and me Lee: {Darling?! I knew it! Hikaru, and Kyosuke are a couple!} [Hiroji walks over, and taps Lee on the shoulder.] Hiroji: Why didn't you tell me you were going over here? If you get in trouble, it'll be my head on the chopping block! Hikaru: Oh, Conan-san is no trouble. Darling, and I was just talking with him. Hiroji: All right. Are you going to be O.K. here? I figured since you've already made some friends, you don't need me here. Madoka (at the next table): Conan-kun will be alright. My friends, and I will make sure he gets home safely. Lee: Yes, I'll be alright, Susuki-san. Hiroji: I think I'll go home. Do you have everything you need? Lee: Hai. Hiroji: Well then, I will see you when you come home. [Hiroji walks out of the door, and leaves.] Narration: We talk a little more. I'm surprised I made friends so quickly. I glance at my watch. 9:00 p.m.! Man, I had now idea how much time had passed. [Madoka comes back to the table, and sits down in the only available seat. It is next to Lee. She no longer has her apron on, or tray with her.] Madoka: Whew! Today was busier than usual. Master: Ayukawa, Will lock up when you leave? Arigato! Madoka: I will, Master! See you tommorow! Lee: {That's the second time I heard her call that guy that name! I can't let it slide this time! I try to summon up my courage, and ask Madoka, but all I say is:} Master?! Madoka: Oh, that's the owner's nickname. Lee: I was just curious. I seem to not know many things, but I'm rapidly learning thanks to Kasuga-kun, and Hiyama-chan. Madoka (yawns): I'm glad they're filling you in, Conan-kun, but I'm going to have ask everyone to leave. I'm really tired. Kyosuke: Good night Ayukawa. Hikaru: Good night Madoka-san. Ikimasho, Conan-kun!*13 Madoka: See you at school tommorrow, Conan-kun. Lee: Good night, Ayukawa-san. [Hiroji's house:] Narration: I'm kind of tired, so I go up to my room for the night. I figure I might as well get a fresh start for my first day at a new school. It won't be as difficult as I thought since I've found some new friends. [Part 1: End] {} = thinking. >From my understanding, the following is correct: *1 - Hai = "Yes" *2 - (Domo) Arigato = "Thank you" *3 - Oi = "Hey" *4 - Gomen (naisai); Gomen = "I'm sorry" *5 - Kawaii = "Cute" *6 - Shirenai = "I don't know." *7 - Konbawa = "Good Evening" *8 - Ne = "Okay; Right" *9 - Iie = "No" *10 - Nani (Nanda) = "What (the??)" *11 - So ka = "I see; I understand" *12 - Ja Ne = "See Ya; Later" *13 - Ikimasho = "Let's go." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story is based on the series "Kimagure Orange Road" created, and copyrighted by Izumi Matsumoto.

He punches at an unseen opponent.] [Hiroji slips out the back door quietly. He sneaks up behind Lee, and grabs him from behind.] [Lee pushes his arms back, and Hiroji releases Lee.] Lee: Kuso! Sasuki-san, are you alright?*1 [Hiroji slowly walks back, and stares.] Hiroji: I'm fine, don't worry about it. I just didn't know you had it in you. Lee: Gomen Susuki-san, I didn't know it was you. I was deep in thought. Hiroji: How long have you studied Martial Arts, Lee-kun? Lee(taking off his headband): I've been seriously studying it ever since I was 12 years old. Lee: My Sensei back in America says that I show real potential. He said that I'm really close to getting my 4th degree yellow belt. Hiroji: That's good. I've always like Martial Arts, but I was constantly getting distracted. School, girls, my friends, girls, the regular teenage things. Lee(wiping his forehead with his headband): My friends back home were the same way. I'm going to hit the shower, Ja Ne. Hiroji{thinking}: Man, that kid could really destroy some unfortunate fool. I've got to remember not to tick him off. [Kouryou Gakuen School. 12:40 p.m.:] Narration: I had to do something I always heard people making fun of other people for doing. I had to bring my books into the cafeteria, and work while eating lunch. I must have about a ton of homework, and the school isn't over yet. I had to do it though, so I could have more free time tonight. Who knows what Madoka, Hikaru, or Kyosuke have planned. Lee: Chikusho! Why did I take Geometry here?*2 Madoka: What's wrong, Conan-kun? Lee: It's my first day here, and I've got a ton of homework already. Especially in this subject. (Showing Madoka the Geometry textbook.) That, and my written Japanese is still not perfect, yet. {Which is weird, because I can understand most conversations by now. Most, but not all though.} Madoka: Is that all? I know someone who can help you. Lee: You do? Who? Madoka: I'll send the person over tonight to help you. Lee: Domo Arigato, Ayukawa-san. Hikaru: There you are Madoka-san! Darling! Madoka-san's over here! Kyosuke: Konichiwa Conan-kun.*3 Lee (closing his books): Konichiwa, Kasuga-kun. How do you deal with the massive amounts of homework, and still have some free time left at night? Kyosuke: Well, I have different courses than you do, and I manage to get the work done, somehow. Lee: I guess I still have much to learn here. I don't remember having this much homework at my other school. Usually, I was able to get it done pretty quickly.. {Then again, that's when I was taking it in English.} Hikaru: Don't worry, Conan-kun. You'll find a way to get your homework done, and still have time for fun. [Susuki's house. 7:40 p.m.:] SFX: Riing! Riing! Lee: Moshi, Moshi.*5 Man: Moshi, Moshi. Is this the Susuki residence? Lee: Hai, Who may I say is calling? Man: Is Hiroji-kun there? I am Oruji Genji, his boss. Lee: Hai, Matte. I'll go get him.*6 [Lee walks off to get Hiroji. He finds Hiroji in the den listening to his CD player through headphones.] [Lee taps Hiroji on the shoulder.] Hiroji(sliding his headphones off his ears): Nani? Lee: Susuki-san, there's someone from your work on the phone. Hiroji(taking his headphones off fron around his neck): Che! What is it this time? [Hiroji pushes a button on a remote control, and the CD player turns off.] [He huffs out of the room, and Lee follows.] Hiroji: Moshi, Moshi. Hai. Hai. He's an exchange student from America. Hiroji: Hai, his Nihongo is good. (enraged): Kenjiro did what! Baka! Hiroji(pacing back, and forth): The whole blasted thing! Hai. [Hiroji glances at Lee then he resumes his conversation.] Hiroji (unwillingly): Hai. I'll be right in. Ja ne. [Hiroji hang up the phone, and starts looks around the room.] Lee: What was that all about, Susuki-san? Hiroji(irritated): Oh, that idiot Kenjiro messed up, and crashed the whole system. I've got to go in, and see if I can fix everything. Hiroji(looking under the couch cushions): Where are those darn keys? Lee: I haven't seen'em, gomen. Hiroji(finding his keys) : Yoshi! I don't know when I'll be home, Lee-kun. Don't destroy the house while I'm gone. Lee(sarcasticly); Thanks for the overwhelming vote of confidence. Hiroji(unlocking the front door): You know what I mean. Ja Ne. Lee: Ja ne. [8:10 p.m.:] Narration: My homework wasn't done, but I needed a break before I got a headache. I started watching TV, trying to relax. I started to relax a little, until I heard the doorbell. I nearly forgot that Madoka was sending someone over to help me with my homework. I quickly rush over to the desk, and re-open all of my books. I look into the peephole in the door, and get a real shock! Lee: {Madoka!! Madoka's my homework tutor?!} (opening the door): Konbawa, Ayukawa-san. Madoka: Konbawa, Conan-kun. I'm sorry I'm so late, but it another busy night at AbCb. Lee: Y-You're my homework tutor? {GEEZ! I have GOT to learn not to say whatever's on my mind. I DO manage to keep the fact that her shirt, and those blue jeans look great on her to myself.} Madoka: Hai. Nani? You don't think I would be able to help you? What have heard about me? Lee (nervously): Sh.. Sh.. Shirenai! I haven't heard anything bad about you. Madoka: Oh. Well then, let's get to those books. Lee: {Whew! I seem to have worked my way out of that one.} Madoka (looking at the book): Where are you having trouble, Conan-kun? Lee: Somehow, I get lost when I'm translating the postulates. Madoka: Like this one? Narration: Madoka says the Geometry explanation/formula out loud in ENGLISH! A little broken, but there was no mistaking it was English! Lee (shocked): Nanda? Ayukawa-san?! Madoka: What's wrong, Conan-kun? Lee: You said it in English! How.. ?! Madoka: Oh that. My father's work takes him overseas for most of the year so, he taught me some English. Lee: Gomen naisai, I didn't know. You must miss him when he's overseas right? Madoka: Hai, but I didn't come over to talk about me. Let's get back to work. Lee:{Madoka seems so defensive when it comes to talking about herself. I wonder what else she's hiding.} [11:00 p.m:] Narration: With Madoka's help, I'm able to get almost all of my homework done in record time. Almost, because halfway through the last subject, I felt an added weight on my shoulder. I just thought it was my muscles relaxing from when they were tensed up from stress. Lee: Ayukawa-san, What does this say? I can't quite make sense of it. [No response.] Lee (looking at his shoulder): Ayukawa-san... (noticing she's fast asleep.) {I guess she must have wore herself out today. Uh, oh! How do I get her home? Gyaa! Where is her home? Why isn't Hiroji home yet? Man! What do I do now?} Lee:{Just calm down. I can't leave her like this. We'd both have aches, and pains in the morning. Where should I move her to? Let's see... The couch!} [Lee cradles her neck in his right arm, and slips his left under her legs. He gently lifts her up out of the chair, and walks over to the couch. Madoka stretches out in Lee's arms.] Madoka(yawning): Aaah.. Lee.. [She wraps her arms around Lee's neck, and rests her head on his shoulder. Lee looks down at the slumbering Madoka in his arms.] Lee:{Did Madoka just call me Lee? From what I know, it sound like we're getting closer. At that moment, I didn't want to let her go, but I had to. Madoka had a wonderful, no, intoxicating scent about her. I wondered what kind of perfume she's wearing. I had to gather up my willpower to set her down on the couch, and not somewhere else.} [Lee lays Madoka down on the couch, and she pulls him closer. They kiss, and she hugs him tightly. Lee breaks free, and gasps for air.] Lee (shakily):{Man, I had no idea Madoka had that kind of strength!} [Lee walks around the coffee table over to a chair across from the couch, and sits down.] Lee (looking at Madoka):{Madoka looks so kawaii, and peaceful. It makes wonder why she was so defensive about herself? What is she hiding? Is there anything I should be worried about?} [2:00 a.m.:] [Hiroji unlocks the door, and ambles in.] [He yawns hugely, and shuts the door. Hiroji relocks the door, and shoves the keys into his right pocket.] [He walks through the living room.] Hiroji(noticing Madoka): Eh? What's that kawaii waitress doing here? [Hiroji yawns, and walks out of the room.] [He comes back with a couple blankets. Hiroji covers Madoka with one, and Lee with the other.] [Hiroji looks at the two of them, and smiles. He rubs his eyes, and leaves the room again.] [6:00 a.m.:] Madoka (sleepily):{Where am I? What time is it?} (opening her eyes): Nanda?! Lee! Lee (wakes up): Who? Wha? Where? Madoka-chan! [Lee goes to get up, but he slips on the blanket. He trips on the coffee table between the couch, and the chair. The coffee table flies up, and smacks Lee in the face. The table, and Lee fall in opposite directions. Madoka (worried): Lee!! [Madoka throws the blanket off of herself, and rushes over to Lee. She picks him up, and holds his shoulder with her left arm.] Madoka (feverishly): Lee! Lee! Are you all right? Lee (grogily): Ittei. Hai, I think. Ittei.*7 Madoka: Where does it hurt? [She touches various place on Lee's face with her right hand, but when she touches his nose..] Lee (howling): THERE! ITTEI! ITTEI! Madoka: Gomen, Lee. [Lee's nose starts bleeding profusely.] Madoka: Lee! You're bleeding! [She tilts Lee's head back to slow the bleeding.] Hiroji (running into the room) Nanda? What's all the noise about? (noticing Madoka cradling Lee with his head back.) What's going on here? Madoka: Lee hit his nose with the coffee table, and now he's bleeding! Hiroji: Nanda? Waitress, lay him down on his back, and look after him until I get back. Madoka: Hai. [She lays Lee back on the floor, and Hiroji runs into the kitchen.] Madoka: Gomen Naisai! Lee: No, No, I should have been more careful. {Oouch. I really whacked myself with that table. Ow.} [Hiroji runs in, and sets down a bowl with a wet cloth, and an ice pack in it, and a first aid kit on the floor next to himself. Hiroji puts the ice pack on Lee's nose, and holds it there. Madoka back away a little, but still keeps looking over at Lee.] Hiroji (angrily): How did this happen? Madoka:It was an accident. I woke up before Lee did. Lee woke up, and he started to walk towards me. Then all of a sudden the coffee table swung up, and hit him in the face. I really didn't mean for him to do this. Gomen naisai. Lee: Her name's Madoka 'member? Geez! That ice pack's cold! Hiroji: It needs to be that cold to work, Lee-kun. What's she doing here anyway? I seen her here last night, but I was too tired to ask. Lee: She.. She.. Madoka (interrupts) Let me explain, Lee. I came over to help Lee with his homework. I thought I could help him translate his homework, because as Lee had said 'his Japanese isn't perfect yet.' Hiroji: So, it was a study date? [Madoka turns away.] Lee: Susuki-san! You've asked enough questions! Ittei! Will you please let go of my nose! [Hiroji removes his hand from the ice pack, and puts Lee's hand in its place.] Hiroji: Keep holding that icepack. I know it's cold, but it's for your own good. [Hiroji lifts Lee up, so that Lee is sitting up.] Lee: I think it's stopped. Arigato. Hiroji: Your welcome, but I said to keep the ice pack on your nose. Lee: Hai. Madoka: Let me make up for this by cooking breakfast, ne? Lee: If for you really want to. I wouldn't want to impose on you. Madoka: Yoshi! It's no trouble! Just wait here!*8 [Madoka jumps up, and runs into the kitchen. Hiroji removes the ice pack, and opens up the first aid kit. He wipes the blood off of Lee's face with the wet rag.] [6:40 a.m.:] [Madoka brings in a tray of food, and sets it on the floor near Lee, and Hiroji.] Lee: Everything looks so good! Madoka: Arigato. I hope you will enjoy it Lee. Lee: I'm sure I will, Madoka-chan. Hiroji:{Oh, gag! Cut it out already! My teeth are getting cavities just listening to you two!} [7:10 a.m.:] Lee: Arigato, Madoka-chan. Everything was delicious. Hiroji: Hai. You didn't have to go though all this trouble. Madoka: Iie, I wanted to cook breakfast. Lee (noticing the time): We better get going Madoka-chan. We don't want to be late for school, right? Madoka: Ah! My books are still at home! Hiroji:I'll drive you to your home to get your books. (whispers to Lee): You've got the your set of house keys, and enough money for the train, right? Lee (dissappointed):Yes, I do. [Lee collects his books, and coat, and walks over to the door. Lee opens the door Madoka, and Hiroji.] Madoka: Arigato. Lee: I'll see you in school, Madoka-chan. Madoka: Hai. [Outside of the School] Hikaru: Darling, did Madoka-san visit you last night? Kyosuke: Iie. Why? What's wrong? Hikaru: Madoka-san's mother called, and asked if she was with me. Madoka-san didn't come home last night. Kyosuke: Nanda? Honto? Do you know where Ayukawa was last?*9 Hikaru: Madoka-san's mother said that Madoka-san was going to tutor Conan-kun last night.. (worried): Darling! Do you think Madoka-san did.. you know?? Kyousuke: Ayukawa would never do that. {I knew there was something about that Conan Lee I didn't like!} Hikaru-chan, Let me know what you hear from Ayukawa. I've got to run an errand. [Kyosuke walks away, leaving Hikaru wondering.] [In Lee's morning classroom:] Narration: At school, I received many stange looks. I heard some whispering, but I couldn't tell what they were saying. I'm not sure that all the looks, and whispers were about my nose. Which has, since this morning, swollen up larger than normal. [Lee folds his arms, and sets his head down on his desk trying to hide his face. A guy sitting in the next row taps Lee on the shoulder.] Guy: Oi! Wake up! Lee: Huh? Nani? Guy: You're Conan Lee, ne? Lee: Who wants to know? Guy: Oh, I'm Hatta Kazuya, Kyosuke's friend. I'll skip directly to the point. I heard that you, and Madoka-chan pulled an "All-Nighter" last night. If that wasn't good enough, you two had the house to yourselves. Lee: {Madoka-chan? I've never seen this guy around Madoka before.} Hai, Madoka-chan did come over to help me with my homework. So.. Hatta (shocked): So it's true?! You, and Madoka-chan! Alone, together! (grinning): You stud! Lee: Nothing happened. Hatta (leaning in closer): Come on, you can tell me. How was she? Lee (shocked): Nothing happened! Honto! Hatta (grinning): Oh, you one of those guys. Lee: Nani? What do you mean "one of those guys"? Hatta: You know. The guys that never tell what they did the night before. For example Kyouske, He never tells me truth about what he does with Hikaru-chan, and Madoka-chan. Lee: What Kasuga-kun does with Hiyama-chan, and Madoka-chan? Hatta: Hai. Kyosuke's such a lucky dog! He's getting it from Hikaru-chan, AND Madoka-chan. Lee:{Hmm. Maybe that's one thing Madoka wanted to hide.} Hatta: So tell me how was Madoka-chan? Lee (angrily): Let me tell you again. Nothing Happened! Teacher: You two back there! One more outburst, and you will both be standing out in the hall. Lee: Gomen naisai. It won't happen again. Hatta: Alright, I believe you. (has a huge grin.) Lee (whispers): Wipe that cheesy grin off your face! [In another classroom:] Hikaru: Madoka-san, Did you spend the night at Conan-kun's house? [Two girls on the right side of Madoka turn towards her.] Girl 1: Yes, Yes, Tell us. We've noticed that new guy, too. Girl 2: He's so cute, and you've got him first. It's not fair. Madoka: It's none of your business. Girls: Oh come on, you can tell us. Hikaru: Quit it, you two. Madoka-san is not that kind of girl. Madoka: Arigato, Hikaru. [A third girl sitting behind Madoka, and Hikaru speaks up.] Girl 3: Oi, Did you see that Conan's nose this morning? Hikaru, and the other two girls: Iie. What's different about his nose? Girl 3: You haven't? It's swollen up like a balloon, like someone hit him there! Girl 1: That Beast! Oh, gomen naisai, Madoka. He attacked you, and you punched him in self-defense. Madoka (angrily): No! It was nothing like that at all. (dreamily): He was so sweet, and gentle.. Girl 2 (dreamily): He was... Just like I thought he would be. Girl 3 (confused): Hmm.. Huh? Well then, what DID happen to his nose? Madoka (hesitantly): His nose... was sort of.. my fault.. Teacher: Gomen Naisai, girls. Don't stop now, it was just getting interesting. Is my teaching interrupting your gossiping? Are you done yet? I hope so, because if you interrupt my class for your girl talk, your little group will be sent to the principal. Got it? Girls: Hai! [Hallway:] Hatta: Kyosuke! You'll never believe what I heard from the guy that spent the night alone with Madoka-chan! Kyosuke: What did you hear? Hatta: I heard that Conan pulled an "All Nighter" with Madoka-chan. They were in his house all alone. Kyosuke: All Night? In his house alone? [A pretty girl walks past Hatta, and smiles.] Hatta: Well gotta go, Kyosuke. [Hatta runs down the hallway after the girl.] [P.E. class:] [The guys are playing indoor hockey, because it's raining outside. The guys have the whole gymnasium to themselves.] [Lee has control of the puck, and is dashing towards the goal to get a clear shot.] Kyosuke: {Conan Lee, you must pay for what you've done to Ayukawa.} [Kyosuke trips Lee with his plastic hockey stick, and Lee almost falls, but he regains his balance. Lee does however, lose control of the puck.] Lee: Whoa! Chill out Kasuga-kun! It's only a game! Kyosuke(turns away): Hmph.. [Kyosuke joins the rest of the crowd chasing after the puck.] Lee:{Kyosuke's not much of an athlete, but he's got a real nasty competitive streak in him.} [This goes on throughout the class. Kyosuke does minor things to make Lee loose, and mess up. Class ends, and everyone's hockey sticks are put back in storage. Everyone leaves except for Lee, and Kyosuke. Lee walks over to Kyosuke.] Lee: Do you have something against me, or are you always this competitive? Kyosuke (annoyed): You have the guts to act like nothing happened last night? Lee: What are you talking about, Kasuga-kun? Kyosuke (frustrated): Don't play innocent with me! I know what you, and Ayukawa did last night! Lee: You're angry that Madoka-chan studied with me? Or, are you jealous? Kyosuke: How stupid do you think I am? Don't even say it. You must pay for what you did to Ayukawa! [Kyosuke swings his fist, and almost misses. Lee's face does get some damage, though.] Lee (rubbing the side of his face): Hey! I don't want to fight you! Kyosuke: But, you must pay! [Kyosuke punches Lee in the face, again.] Lee (reeling from the attack): O.K. So that the way you want, eh? Take this! [Lee swings, and connects with Kyosuke's face. Kyosuke rubs his face, then punches Lee in the stomach. Lee doubles over in pain. The girls are now filing into the gymnasium in their uniforms. Kyosuke swings again, but misses Lee.] Girl 1: Oi! Look over there! Kasuga, and the new guy are fighting! Girl 2: Why? What did the new guy do? [A third girl whispers to Girl 2. Girl 2's face turns red, and she laughs.] Lee: Looks like we're attracting an audience, Kasuga-kun. [Kyosuke reaches down, and grabs Lee by the shirt.] Kyosuke: I don't ever want to see you near Ayukawa again! [Kyosuke throws Lee into a pile of mats near the wall. Some mats fall off their stacks to the floor. Kyosuke walks over to the Lee.] Girl 4: I didn't know that Kasuga had it in him! Picking on Conan like that, for something Ayukawa did. Kyosuke (looking back the girls): Eh? Nani? Lee: {Now's my chance!} [Lee foot sweeps the distracted Kyosuke, and sends him falling to the floor. Lee holds his hand to Kyosuke's throat in a karate pose.] Lee: Don't you dare tell me who I can, and can't see, again! Especially Madoka-chan! Girl 2: Wow! Conan's so cool! Girl 4: Amazing! Even after what Ayukawa did to him last night, Conan still wants to see her again. Lee: Besides, Why should you care who Madoka-chan studies with? You've already got Hiyama-chan, unless you want them both? Yes, I think you want them both for yourself! Girl 4: That Kasuga's such a creep! I have noticed that he does spend an awful lot of time with both Hiyama, and Ayukawa. Kyosuke: How dare you! In front of everyone even! [Kyosuke pushes Lee away, and gets back up. Coach Ota walks in the gym. Kyosuke swings, and connects with the side of Lee's face sending him into the mats, face first.] Coach Ota: All right you two! Fight's over. Kasuga, Conan! Explain yourselves! Who started this fight? [Coach Ota walks over to Lee, and helps him up.] Kyosuke (confused, and angry): Conan-kun. It's what he did to Ayukawa that he deserves this. Lee: What I did to Madoka-chan? I didn't do anything wrong. Kyosuke: Do you mean that she wanted to "do it" with you ?! Lee: Nanda?! We didn't do that! Who told you? Kyosuke: I heard it from Hatta, and he asked you himself. Lee: Why that little.. I didn't say anything of the sort! He must have made that up! Kyosuke: Honto? Well then, Is it a lie that Ayukawa stayed the night at your house with nobody else in the house? Lee: That part is true, though. Coach Ota (interrupts): That's enough out of both of you. Let's get you to the nurse, Conan. Kasuga, You report to the office. [School Courtyard:] Narration: I thought my swollen nose, the untrue rumor, and my fight with Kyosuke was damaging, and confusing enought for one day, but I was wrong. Suddenly, I feel someone punching me in my back, and I spin around. Lee (yelling): What's your problem this time? {My eyes focus, and I see that it's Hikaru. She has tears in her eyes.} Hikaru (crying): Conan-kun, I hate you! How could you attack Darling? [A couple of guys passing by hear Hikaru, and stop to watch.] Guy 1: What did that guy do this time? Why is Hiyama so angry? Guy 2: Shirenai. Lee: Whoa, Whoa! Wait a minute Hiyama-chan! I didn't attack Kasuga-kun. He attacked me! I didn't want to fight him! Hikaru (crying): But, you fought him anyway! You better not have hurt Darling! [Hikaru starts swinging at Lee. He dodges, and wraps Hikaru in a half-nelson to restrain her.] Hikaru (squirming): Let me go you jerk! Lee (tightening his grip): Hiyama-chan, calm down! Will you please settle down, and let me explain? Hikaru (noticing the guys): Ittei! I'll do whatever you want, just don't hurt me anymore! Guy 2: Man! Conan is such a brute! He just got into a fight with Kasuga Kyosuke, and now he's picking on Hiyama! Guy 1: Hai! I could never be like that! [Lee releases Hikaru, and steps back.] Hikaru: Conan-kun, I've got to get to class. Just stay away from Darling, and Ayukawa! [Hikaru runs off to class, leaving Lee confused. The guys walk away as well.] [Hiroji's house: 3:00 p.m.:] Narration: I didn't go to Abcb after school, because I wanted to avoid anymore trouble. I headed straight home after school. Lee: Susuki-san, I'm home! Hiroji: Konichiwa Conan-kun. I thought you'd be at that restaurant, visiting with that waitress, Ayukawa, and her friends. [Hiroji notices Lee's face, and the look on it.] Hiroji: What happened to you? You look worse than when you left here this morning. Lee: Man, Everyone hates me, because they thought Madoka-chan, and I "did it" when you were away last night. That rumor lead to a couple of fights today which made a look real good as well. Hiroji(eyes bugged out): Conan-kun, You didn't, did you? Lee: No, I didn't! Hiroji: Who did you fight today? Who started it? Lee: First, Kyosuke attacked me in P.E. Second, Hiyama-chan attacked me, but when I restrained in a half-nelson, she screamed, and yelled. I let her go, and she ran away. Hiroji: I'm sorry that you were in two fights, although you shouldn't have restrained a girl like that. Lee: Gomen Naisai, but she was swinging at me. I didn't know what to do, except restrain her. That way she couldn't hurt me, or herself. Hiroji: So ka, but next time, think before you do something like that. Lee: Hai. I wouldn't be surprised if even Madoka-chan hates me, now. I'm going to my room, and do my homework. Ja Ne. Hiroji: All right. I'll let you alone. [Lee climbs the stairs, and disappears.] Hiroji: {Poor kid. I wonder if I could do anything to cheer him up?} [7:00 p.m.:] [Lee is sitting on his bed pouring over his books. His room's door is open.] Lee:{How did I get myself into this mess? I wonder what Madoka-chan thinks of me? She'd probably say..} Madoka: Lee? [Lee spins around to the door, and his eyes widen in shock.] Lee: Madoka-chan! [Lee turns back around, and slumps over his books.] Madoka(steps in a little): Lee, Are you mad at me? Lee: No, but you probably are with me, too. You probably hate me, right? [Madoka sits next to Lee on his bed.] Madoka: I don't hate you, Lee, well.. Make that I don't hate your guts. (accusing): How could you tell everyone that we.. we..! Lee: "Did it last night"? I didn't say that at all. It was the jerk Komatsu's fault. He kept putting the wrong words in my mouth. Madoka: That Komastsu-kun can be a real jerk sometimes, but he's Kasuga-kun's friend, Lee. Lee: Gomen, I know, but he just made me so mad. Chotto? I've been meaning to ask about something. Madoka: Nani? Lee: Why did all of a sudden stop calling me "Conan-kun"? Madoka: I call all my friends by their first names. Lee: What about Kasuga-kun? You always call him Kasuga-kun. Isn't he your friend also? Madoka(turning away): Kasuga-kun is.. different. [Kyosuke, and Hikaru enter Lee's bedroom.] Lee(frightened): Why did you bring them here? I thought you said you didn't hate me! Hikaru: Gomen Naisai, Conan-kun. Madoka-san explained everything. Are we friends, again? Lee: Hai, but what about Kasuga-kun? Kyosuke: Ayukawa told me the truth. I'm sorry I attacked you, Conan-kun. Madoka: So what do you say? Are we all friends again? Lee: Hai! I would like that. Narration: We all shook hands, and made up. I was glad that I don't have to fight them anymore, because I only had to try to keep the damage to a minimum. If I had to, I could seriously hurt someone. I didn't tell them about my training, because I wanted that to be a surprise to anyone foolish enough to be my opponent.
