At last an update. Bet you thought I died… Nope just got divorced.

Hopefully I'll update more often

"Shuichi, sit down. Your first candidate will be here any minute." Sakano blushed. "I feel like this is an omai and I'm the matchmaker. What if you get married because of this. Oh my god. How will it affect the group's popularity?"

"Someone do something with him." K reached over and cold cocked him. "One hysterical idiot is enough."

"I'm starting to panic. What if I end up really liking someone and they hate me? I can't do this" Shu made a break for the door and ran into K's 45. " I just need to use the restroom. I wasn't running away."

"You went five minutes ago, you're fine. Just smile and be yourself. These giggling idiots will be so excited to meet you they are going to be more scared than you."

K sighed as he watched Shuichi turn into a mini-tornado and bounce off the walls. Napkins and cookies went flying off the table. Better stop him before he breaks something.

K poked Sakano with the stick end of a giant lollipop. Shuichi stopped in mid spin to come poke at the unconscious man. Sakano whimpered then opened an eye.

"What happened?"

"You suddenly collapsed." K lied. "Don't you think you should see if she's here yet."

"So did you like any of today's group?" Hiro asked.

"Well there was one girl I really liked. She was that girl with the bright blue dye job. I thought we looked good together. Sakano thought she was a little to blunt, but I really liked that." Shuichi sighed. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow though."

"Why what's special about tomorrow? Isn't it just another twenty rounds of tea?"

"Yep, but I get to have lunch with Ryuichi instead. They decided that we might as well have lunch instead since that was the only time he had free." Shu burbled happily. "I think for our date we should go to the circus. Don't you think he'd be fun to take to see the clowns and tigers and elephants and…"

"I know what's at the circus you don't have to list everything. I'm sure you two would have fun, but I'm surprised you don't want to go to an amusement park with him."

Shuichi got a far away dreamy look then winced. "I… the last time I went to… was with Yuki… it would hurt too much."

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to remind you." Hiro watched Shu's bottom lip quiver. "Don't cry. Everything will work out, don't worry."

"It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. I was afraid to meet all those strangers…"

"You thought? That must have been difficult" Hiro brushed hair out of the trembling puppy eyed youth's face. "I didn't think you knew the meaning of stranger."

"Of course I do. You're so mean. A stranger is a possible friend that you are meeting for the first time."

"Possible friend?"

"Of course you can't be great friends with everyone sometimes it takes weeks before they become friends." Shu tilted his head to the right and gazed up at Hiro. "Some people are to mean to be friends. It must be sad to be that lonely."

"What scares me is it almost made sense to me… Maybe I need a break." Hiro sighed and shook his head.

"Lets go tomorrow will be another long day."

K watched as the tall statuesque blond sashayed out of the office. 'She probably thinks she's a sure thing. Look at that smirk. Idiot.'

"What do you think?" K turned towards Shuichi as he spoke.

"She was scary. I thought she was gonna eat me." Shu shuddered remembering her dagger like nails that matched her five inch stiletto heels. Rubbing the faint scratch marks on his arm he whimpered. "I wasn't sure if she was going to bite me or stab me with her claws."

"That is one woman I never want to meet in a dark alley." Sakano wiped sweat from his brow.

"She'd chew you up and spit you out." K sized Sakano up. "Or maybe she would take you home and keep you as a pet. I can picture the collar and rhinestone encrusted leash."

Sakano turned green at the thought. Shuichi curled into a ball and shivered.

"The mean lady is gone. Calm down." K patted the two men on the head.

They raised identical tear filled eyes and smiled.
