Okay, I DID NOT WRITE THIS!  There.  This is the best fanfic I have read.  It beats out everybody's, in my opinon, except Benares's stuff.
This excellent fanfic is written by Daniel Harrison.  More Chapters on the way.

The Untold Stories
                         By Daniel C. Harrison
                         In Honor of Motsimuto Izumi
                            "SUMMER CRUISE"
                        Chapter One: Cast-off! cont..."

     Our food was brought to us quickly and, we dined with relish anticipating
the voyage that was to come. I could see they had finished loading the huge
ship and now, they were boarding some crew members. The ship line was an
American one so, naturally, the crew were. However, I could see some japanese
or possibly japanese americans mixed in. Perhaps to help with translations.
     "Darling, I want to walk the deck with you tonight after we sail." 
     Hikaru's suggestion caught me off guard. I looked quickly at her. "Uhmm,
sure Hikaru-chan. Sounds good to me too."
     "Ohhhh Darling, I love you so much!" She gripped my arm again with that
firmness that she would never let me go. I glanced up quickly and saw Ayukawa
looking away. My heart skipped a beat.
   
     Before I knew it, it was time to board. We finished our meal and paid the
cashier then moved to get in line at the gangplank. It looked like a festival.
Everywhere were lanterns and, people were handing out balloons, food, and toys
were for sale. Couples around us held each other close and talked in varying
degrees of excitedness. My anticipation grew. This was going to be fun! If
only.."
     I could see Ayukawa standing a few feet away. She looked so alone. The
lights from the lanterns shone off her hair, bringing out highlights in it I
had never noticed before. I felt a lump in my throat.
     "Oneichan, I wanna buy this!" My thoughts were broken by Kurumi who had a
small stuffed panda and she was shoving it in my face. 
"Papa wouldn't care, can
I?"
     "No, no." I said. "We have to save the little money we have for onboard.
Don't you want to be able to buy anything in ports of call? You can buy a
stuffed panda anywhere!"
     "Wahhhhh!" Kurumi glared at me. "You're so mean to me!"
     I was about to answer her but, suddenly a voice said behind me, "Hey
babe, don't cry. I'll buy it for you!"
     Surprised, we all turned and found those same three boys grinning at us.
The one with the ball hat stepped forward and blatantly took Kurumi by the
hand. "I'd be honored to buy you this, if it's okay?"
     Kurumi was struck dumb. Her eyes looked like they were glowing! 
     "Hai!" was all she could say.
     I was about to come unglued. This guy just comes out of nowhere and
blatantly defies my authority as acting head of the Kasuga family! But I...I
didn't know what to do.
     As he took my sisters hand and moved to the souveneir 
stand to pay for the
toy, he nodded to his friends. I could hear him say. "I'm 
Jim Shaw. What's your
name?"
     "Kasuga, Kurumi-chan."
     "Can I just call you Kurumi? I'm really not into the custom of doing what
you guys over here do with the names backward and that chan and san stuff."
    "Hai." was all Kurumi could manage. She was quite taken by him.
     I was thinking of how I might intervene in this but, 
my indecisiveness was
pulling me different directions. It was now obvious to me, we would be unable
to avoid these hentai! My sister was hooked like a fish on a line!
     "I thought we'd meet again."
     This had been directed not to me or my sisters but, to Ayukawa. The only
reason I had understood anything Jim Shaw had said was, he was speaking in
broken japanese to Kurumi. This other guy talking to Ayukawa was even worse!
It was that one in the leather jacket. I think he had said his name was Shawn
Hayden. He was talking to her now but, with no one to translate, I had no idea
what he was saying. Ayukawa answered back in english and I was lost! I felt my
heart being slowly ripped. She smiled and nodded at several things he said and
he pointed up the gangplank. Then, she turned back to me. "Hayden-kun and his
friends are travelling alone back to the States. They wanted to know if they
could join us and, I told him I would ask."
     Her look was directed at me. Hikaru smiled. "Hai, I like that idea. It
will give everyone someone to have fun with. We can all hang around together!"
She giggled uncontrollably. "As long as I have my darling, I'm happy!"
     I on the other hand was anything but happy. I tried to think of a way to
disuade this from happening! I could see these hentai americans were going to
be big trouble! This was the worst! I looked at Manami for some sort of help
but, she was trying to talk to the other guy! He had a book and was trying to
speak japanese to her. She was laughing. I was alone and, I felt defeated.
     "Kasuga-kun?"
     I looked quickly at Ayukawa. She nodded back toward Shawn. I could see he
was standing there waiting. I nodded slowly knowing I was beaten. "Hai. Tell
him it's okay."
     "Great!" Her face lit up excitedly. A little too excitedly to suit my
taste. I was getting worried.
     We all boarded the ship together. Kurumi and Jim Shaw 
in front, Manami and
Peter Jason behind. Ayukawa and Shawn Hayden were next and, Hikaru-chan and I
brought up the rear. As we reached the top, of the gangplank, I saw fireworks
go off in the bay. Families were hugging and kissing each other and, the smell
of a glorious summer was in the air. Everywhere around us, 
people were drinking
champagne, wine, and all matter of saki. I could see the Captain of the ship
shaking hands and having his picture taken with people. Hikaru-chan dragged me
over and, we did too. He was a friendly man but, without his japanese
interpreter who's name was Shinai Horoshi, he couldn't understand a word we
said. His name was Captain Mark Jameson.
     I looked over while Hikaru-chan talked to him through Shinai-kun and, I
could see Ayukawa and Shawn conversing as they sat on a bench. My two sisters
were engrossed with the other two hentai. I sighed deeply. What I thought was
going to be a wonderful vacation was fast degenerating into 
a voyage from hell!
And we hadn't even left the dock yet!
     The Captain and his officers excused themselves and 
left for the bridge. I
could hear the ship horns sounding, a warning for all those not leaving to get
off the ship. For a moment, I wanted to be one of them! I wanted to grab
Ayukawa by the hand and take her off this ship. I wanted to be with her and
show her how I really felt. But..Hikaru-chan? 
     I felt my arm being squeezed with a delight and, Hikaru hugged me. "Ohhh
Darling, this is so wonderful! Look, were leaving the dock! Were on our way!"
     She shouted with glee excitedly and jumped up and down. She was so
girlish at times.
     I could see Ayukawa laughing and shaking her head. Apparently, she was
making fun of the way Shawn was pronouncing some of our language sounds.
Kurumi and Manami also seemed to be having the time of their lives. I looked
over my shoulder and watched as the "PRINCESS SUN" left the dock. We were on
our way now. My first trip on a real cruise ship. I had taken a ship with
Ayukawa and Hikaru-chan before. That time we had all gone to the beach and
stayed in a hotel that Hikaru-chan had gotten weekend vouchers for. But, that
ship was nothing compared to this one! It was like a floating small city.
     As we walked the deck, I saw the shore getting further away. It seemed so
small from out here and, it reminded me of another time. I thought back...
     
     "Kasuga-kun, aren't we getting too far from Hikaru and Yusaku?"
     We were in a small boat and, the current was making us drift apart. I was
alone with Ayukawa. Her wet bathing suit was giving me thoughts that I knew I
shouldnt have and, if she knew would probably slap me for. I was getting tired
and, the island we were trying to reach was still far away.
     "Let's try for the island." she suggested.
     "Okay." I put on a burst of speed using the "power." That's my ESP
ability by the way. All of us in the Kasuga family have it except for my
father. It comes from my mother's side. We reached the island but, I was too
exhausted and, later, the boat had drifted away because, Ayukawa and I hadn't
properly secured it. Later on that day, she had tried to atone for what she
thought was her fault by climbing the rocks and seeing if she could get over
the island. She fell and, I dove off a lower rock catching her. She had
blamed herself for that. Later, we had been rescued after almost admitting our
feelings for each other.
    
     "Darling, this is so romantic.." Hikaru's voice brought me back to the
present as I watched Japan fade away.......

                           In Honor of Motsimuto Izumi
  
                              "SUMMER CRUISE"
                              Chapter Two: 
                              Dinner & Discoveries

     As I turned away from the ship's railing with Hikaru chan, I could see
Ayukawa and that hentai, Hayden-san looking at his language book together. She
was speaking slowly pointing out things to help him learn 
more quickly. She has
always been a good teacher. He smiled and said something back in english and,
she answered him in Japanese. "Hai. I'd love to go to dinner with you,
Hayden-kun."
     "Whaaa??" I had to stop myself from shouting. I 
blurted it out and, Hikaru
looked at me.
     "Darling, is everything alright?"
     "Eh? Uhmm, Hai, Hikaru-chan, everything is just fine." 
I took her hand and
walked slowly over to them.
     Ayukawa noticed my shadow and looked up. "Oh, Kasuga-kun. We were just
talking about dinner. Hayden-kun asked me if I'd like to go but, if it's
alright with him, I'd like us all to dine together."
     I was relieved! I nodded and smiled. "Hai, that would be great, Ayukawa.
I'll let the others know too."
     "Don't bother." Hayden-kun got up. He motioned his two friends and, they
came over with Kurumi and Manami. He spoke slowly in japanese trying not to
laugh. "Hey, do you two baka know what I'm saying? Madoka 
has been teaching me.
Were all going to dinner together. Is that cool?"
     The two looked at each other and, the taller one shrugged. He said
something in english and dug through his book. I saw Ayukawa laugh. She turned
to Hayden-kun and smiled. "You're starting to get the hang of it, Hayden-kun
although, your pronunciation leaves much to be desired."
     The boy grinned. "Arigatoo. My Mom is kinda in the position where she had
to learn some foreign languages. I know a little spanish but, japanese is new
to me. I think I'm starting to get it though."
     I could barely understand him but, I caught enough. 
Ayukawa shook her head
and put a hand on his shoulder. "You need a lot of work, Hayden-kun. I can see
we will be spending a lot of time as sensei and student. 
That is, if you wish?"
     My mouth almost fell open. Hikaru giggled. "Madoka-san I think you like
him don't you?"
     Ayukawa glared at her. "Baka! I'm simply being nice. I suggest we all put
our things away in our rooms and get settled in. We can meet at this spot
later." She turned to Hayden-kun. "Will you let your 
friends know? They seem to
be having a rough time trying to talk to Kurumi and Manami. Although, the one
with Kurumi is doing a little better."
     Manami laughed. "I'm going to work with Jason-kun, Madoka-san. I think
he'll pick up on it. If nothing else, I will try to use what little english I
know."
     Hikaru-chan giggled again. "If all else fails Manami-chan, use body
language."
    Kurumi burst into uncontrollable laughter. This caused the american hentai
to quickly look at us. All the girls were now laughing. Jason-kun looked at
Manami and smiled. 
     "I hope you weren't laughing at us too much." he said quickly. "Cut us a
break, were new at this ok?"
     Manami nodded and replied in english. "Yes. We were 
just having some fun."
     I was surprised. She spoke it better then I! I looked at Ayukawa who was
looking at her information. I hadn't seen her this excited in a long time.
Hikaru-chan was postively bubbling with excitement. She was usually that way
though.
     Ayukawa looked up. "Okay, she said to us. Kurumi, Manami, and myself are
in a cabin together. Kasuga-kun, you have a separate room that you'll be
sharing with bunkmates. If you're lucky, you'll have some 
japanese with you. If
not, better practice your english." She winked at me.
     I smiled and nodded. "Arigatto, Ayukawa."
     She handed me the info I would need. I opened the 
little booklet. It had a
map of the ship. The cabins were laid out by number to go with the decks by
letter. I was on "C" deck. The girls were on "B". I guess 
that was because they
were together and, Ayukawa had to get a separate room for 
me. I wondered who my
cabinmates would be? What would they be like?
     We promised to meet at eight for a late dinner. There 
was a dance going on
also at that time in the grand ballroom. I was looking forward to it and
hopefully I would get to dance with Ayukawa as well as Hikaru-chan. Perhaps
this trip was going to be fun after all. The next days activities looked good.
I was looking forward to spending some time at the pool tomorrow. Ayukawa in a
bikini was....
     I stopped myself from such thoughts and said goodbye. 
We all separated. As
I made my way down the hallways searching for my cabin, I noticed the american
hentai were following me. I wondered where they were going. I continued on
until I suddenly found my cabin. To my surprise, those 
three stopped behind me.
     "Oh man." Hayden-kun said. "They stuck four of us in one room?"
     I suddenly realized these were my cabinmates! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!(In my head I
could hear an explosion.)
     Shaw-kun pushed past me. "Here man, let's open the 
door." He stuck his key
in and opened the room. It was large with yellow walls. Four beds and a desk
waited within. There was a tiny bathroom to the left. A 
mirror hung on the wall
opposite me. I could see how shocked my expression must have looked.
     Jason-kun threw a small pack on the bed closest to the door. "I'll claim
this rack guys."
     I had no idea at the time what he was saying. Hayden-kun told me some of
it later when I asked questions, that's how I'm able to relate this.
     "The music on this boat sucks." Shaw-kun said. "Hey, Shawn, did you bring
any Metallica?"
     "Yeah, it's in my case inside my pack." He dropped his pack by the bed
next to the bathroom. "I feel like some Van Halen though."
     They began talking about some sort of music groups I 
had never heard of or
in some instances little off. Our music in Japan is a little different I was
gathering.
     Hayden-kun looked at me. "Sit down, man. Don't just stand there. We're
gonna be together awhile."
     I nodded and took the bed that remained against the 
far wall. Shaw-kun had
claimed the one opposite me. They were still talking in english until,
Hayden-kun stopped them. "Hey dudes, we need to be a little more considerate
here ok?"
     They nodded and, he turned to me. "Sorry man. This is gonna sound dumb
but, what was your name again?"
     Kasuga, Kyouske." I answered. 
     "Kyouske huh?" he smiled. "Cool. Do you mind if we 
drop this last name and
"kun" stuff? It makes Shaw nervous and I'd rather talk without it too."
     I was a bit taken aback. In Japan this was meant as a sign of honor or in
the case of "kun", friend. They obviously didn't act that way in America.
     I nodded. "Hai. That's fine, Hayden-kun."
     "Shawn, dude. Call me Shawn. I'll call you Kyouske or 
Kasuga. Which do you
prefer?"
     "Kasuga." I said quickly. I didn't know these guys well enough to call
them by their names that way.
     "Okay, cool Kasuga. I'm Shawn as I said." He indicated the other two.
"This is Peter Jason. He's a pain in the butt but, you'll 
get used to him." His
japanese was terrible but, I was catching most of this. "And this is Jim Shaw.
These guys like your sisters by the way. I hope that's cool?"
     "I..I'm the acting head of the Kasuga family right now so, I need to look
out for their welfare."
     I saw Shawn give me a quizzical look. Then he burst 
out laughing. "Oh man.
Well, good luck anyway. I wanted to ask you a question. What can you tell me
about Madoka?"
     I felt my heart stop. "Ayukawa?"
     "Yeah, Madoka. Dude, she is really cool. I like her a lot. I think if she
doesn't mind I'll just kind of monopolize her the whole trip. After all, we're
all on the same ship and not going anywhere right?"
     I nodded slowly catching some of this. How was I going 
to keep this hentai
away from Ayukawa? Or these others from my sisters? I felt trapped!
     Shaw-kun reached over and picked up a CD that was laying on the bed. "I
feel like some Metallica. Peter, put this in the CD player, man."
    "No problem." Jason-kun took the CD and  loaded it into the small player
that sat on his bed. "Let's rock dudes!"
    I was instantly assaulted by some of the darkest and loudest music I
have ever heard in my life! It seemed to appeal to my dark side..the side
that I sometimes feel when I want to do something with Ayukawa or Hikaru-chan
and I control it. The words were so badly garbled, I could barely understand
them! Most of it appeared to be screaming!
    The two hentai across from me, Shaw-kun and Jason-kun egan to rock their
heads in time to the music and, Hayden-kun grinned at me. "This is real
headbanger music, Kasuga. Do you like it?"
    I was trying to think with all this noise! "Uhmmm, it's ok. I'm used to
things that don't quite sound like this."
    Hayden-kun reached over and turned the noise down a bit. "Oh yeah? Like
what?"
    The three hentai waited for my answer. "Uhmmm, well we have all sorts of
music. I like Kanako Wada."
    "Kanako whata?" Jason-kun asked confused. "Are they a good band?"
    I had to depend on Hayden-kun to help me with the rest of this
conversation. I'm not good with english and, I could tell his lessons with
Ayukawa in the short time he had known her had helped his japanese.
    "Uhmm, she's a singer..not a band. I also like to go to discos and.."
    "DISCO??" Hayden-kun's eyes went wide and, he made a gagging sound in his
throat! The other two hentai burst out laughing as Hayden-kun fell off the
bed in a dying act.
    He climbed off the floor as I sat thre confused. Was there something
wrong with what I liked? He shook his head. "Dude, disco sucks! I can see
were going to have to educate you in the ways of cool american music! For
starters, this disco crap has to go! Weve got some cool Cd's that you can
listen to on this voyage. Okay?"
    "Ummm, yeah..ok." I was confused. This noise they listened to and seemed
to like was good american music? I hadn't heard anything even close to it,
not even in "Mobius" a popular dance club where we did disco. Maybe that was
why. I could see I had a lot to learn about America.
    We sat for awhile listening to this noise until, Hayden-kun turned to me.
"We still got some time before we gotta dress for dinner. Anybody want to
shoot some baskets? We got enough here to play two on two."
    I nodded. "Hai, I'd like that." It would be fun to see how good these
hentai were. I wasn't great but, I was average. I just had to make sure I was
as good as them. I didn't want to look bad in front of Ayukawa.
    The thre of us left the room and found our way to the ship's gym. It was
fairly large and, a full basketball court was ready and waiting.
    We started playing. I was teamed with Jason-kun. He was pretty good. He
took the ball out and, when he brought it in, he passed it to me. I moved
quickly down the court dribbling as I went. Hayden-kun tried to block me. I
passed over his head to Jason-kun. He scored! I felt pretty good. Maybe I
would have a good time after all.
    The game went on. It was about even. I was feeling pretty good about
myself. We were tied. That's when I saw, Ayukawa! She was standing on a
balcony that overlooked the court. Hikaru-chan was with her. I didn't see my
sisters. But, Ayukawa was watching! I couldn't mess up! Not in front of her!
Not like before!
    My memory went back for an instant...to a time shortly after I had met
Ayukawa and was at school. I had the ball. I was going for the shot. I
noticed she was watching me. That shot would have won the game!  But, I
missed! I ost the game for us and, in front of Ayukawa! I had felt like a
fool.
    My thoughts came back to present..she was watching! Hayden-kun had the
ball. He was going to score! I moved quickly trying to get around Shaw-kun so
if he passed, I could catch it. It was no good! He was going for the shot. He
threw it...and missed! I caught the ball. This was it. I looked and saw
Ayukawa and Hikaru-chan watching with interest. In my mind, I had to win! I
didn't want to lose again. I threw the ball hard. I watched it go too far to
the right! But...with  "the power" I could win! I didn't even think. I
instinctively wanted to win so bad, I used "the power." The ball going too
far right suddenly arced course in mid-air and swung left. It flew upward and
slammed hard in the basket!
    "YEAH! We won!!" Jason-kun grabbed me and picked me up. "You're cool
Kasuga! Shawn, you're buying me dinner!"
    "Darrrling!!!" Hikaru-chan was screaming from the balcony. "Darling, you
are sooo cool! What an athlete. I love yu!"
    I could see Ayukawa smiling and, she waved at me. Then, she tugged
Hikaru-chan and, they left to get ready for dinner.
    Hayden-kun was standing there looking at the ball while Shaw-kun swore in
many expletives. Hayden-kun walked over and picked up the ball. He looked up
at the basket, then back to the ball. He smiled at me. "Not bad. Interesting
maneuver that ball made. Very interesting." He shook his head and walked past
me. "You'll have to teach me that sometime. Never saw a ball do that before.
We better get ready for dinner. Just enough time for a quick shower."
    He walked out leaving me standing there. I followed after with the other
two. I felt bad. I shouldn't have used the power. But, to Hikaru-chan and
Ayukawa, I was a hero. I felt terrible.
    After cleaning up, we made our way to the deck where we had all agreed to
meet. The girls were waiting. I should say women for, they were beautiful!
Ayukawa was in a red dress with matching heels. Her hair was up and stunning.
Hikru wore a blue dress and, she immeditely latched onto me. "Ohhh Darling,
you are soo cool! I couldn't believe you did that! What a shot!"
    "Arigatto, Hikaru-chan." I said nervously.
    "Oneichan, you're a hero!" Kurumi said smiling. She was wearing a green
dress and, Manami wore a yellow one. All of us guys wore dark pants and light
colored shirts.
    Shaw-kun moved past me and took Kurumi's arm. "You're a vision of
loveliness." he tried to speak in japanese. It came out quite badly and, it
made Kurumi laugh. Ayukawa giggled. I noticed him taking her arm and, I
remembered what these hentai were really like! I stepped forward.
    "Oi! Oi! Walk beside her, don't take her arm like that!"
    Shaw-kun suddenly gave me a dark look. "What the? What's your problem
Kasuga? I thought you were cool with this!"
    An uncomfortable silence followed. Ayukawa looked at me as if to say
something but, she remained silent. Kurumi smiled. "Oh, Oneichan, relax! You
don't have to play papa-sama. We can takecare of ourselves." She took
Shaw-kun's arm before I could stop her and, they walked into the dining
room.
    Manami looked down and, Jason-kun moved forward. "I'd like to escort you
to dinner if I may, Manami?"
    She nodded. "Hai." She looked at me. "It's okay, Oneichan." Giving me a
smile of encouragement, she took his proffered arm and, they disappeared
through the doors.
    Hayden-kun slapped me on the back. "Hey "Dad" it's cool ok? You don't
need to get bent outta shape like that. They won't do anything you wouldn't
do."
    As he took Ayukawa's arm, he said something to her in english that made
her giggle. Before I could say another word, they walked through the doors.
    Hikaru-chan took my arm. "Come on Darling, let's go. This is going to be
fun night! You're a hero, remember?" She pulled me through the doors before I
could protest.
    The dining room was huge! Large chandeliers hung from the ceiling giving
light to all of us. To the right, a large dance foor awaited the evening
events. Tables were arranged around it and, the walls were gold. The carpet
which we walked on was red giving the room a somewhat royal appearance. 
    I saw the others already being seated at a table on the far side.
Hikaru-chan led me too it, her smile dazzling as ever. She was very striking
this evening! But..I looked at Ayukawa. She was a goddess. As we reached the
table, she smiled at me. "Sit down, Kasuga-kun."
    We sat opposite Ayukawa and Hayden-kun with Kurumi and Manami each on our
side and, the other two hentai in the middle.
    As we waited for dinner, Ayukawa turned to Hayden-kun. "How did you three
afford going on a cruise like this? I already told you how we're here."
    Hayden-kun laughed. "We were in Japan because of my Mom. But, she had to
leave suddenly on something very important. She works for a world marketing
company and does that at times. She handed me the corporate credit card and
told me to knock myself out. So, we decided rather then fly back, we'd take
the lon way and the fun way!" He grinned. "Im glad we did." His smile made
Ayukawa blush and, I felt a sudden flash of anger inside. This hentai hardly
knew her and, he was getting closer to her by the minute! I was finding my
initial instincts were correct! I didn't like him..or the others!"    Kimagure Orange Road

    Hayden-kun picked up his glass. "I'd like to propose a toast if I may?"
    Hikaru-chan laughed and nodded. "Please do, Hayden-kun." She turned and
smiled at me. She was having the time of her life. I wished I was. This
cruise was not turning out as I had hoped. 
    "First, can we drop this "kun" stuff please?" he asked.
    Ayukawa nodded. "Of course, Shawn."
    Kurumi laughed. "Ohh this is going to feel weird. Are we going to talk
like Americans?"
    Hayden-kun nodded. "We'd appreciate it. It makes things simpler. Call me
Shawn, Kurumi."
    Kurumi giggled. "Okay, Shawn."
    I was getting a little bit upset. This wasn't right! Even if it was their
way, it wasn't right! 
    Hayden-kun raised his glass. "I'd like to propose a toast to new
international friendships." He looked at Ayukawa and  grinned. "And maybe
more."
    Ayukawa gave him a faint smile. It was her mischievous one, I have seen
it many times. She nodded slowly. "Perhaps in time."
    I almost fell over. I hadn't expected that kind of a response from her!
What was going on? Was she and the others so enamored with these hentai,
they couldn't see them for what they were? I looked at my sisters as they
drank the toast and then tried to speak english to the other two.
    Hikaru-chan was occupying me telling me all she wanted to do on this
voyage but, I could see Hayden-kun and Ayukawa talking. They would speak in
english which annoyed me because, I could understand little of it. Then, they
would switch back to Japanese. I didn't know what to do. This situation was
getting worse by the minute.
    Suddenly, some music started. Dinner was finished and, Hayden-kun looked
at Ayukawa. "Would you like to dance with me, Madoka?"
    "Hai, I'd love to, Shawn." She grinned and before I could think what to
say, he led her to the dance floor. My feelings were a torrent! My heart felt
like it was being ripped out. They were dancing "cheek!" She hardly knew this
hentai and, they were "cheek!" 
    Kurumi and Manami also had gotten up with the others and were dancing.
Hikaru-chan looked at me. "Darling, what's wrong? Don't you want to dance
with me?"
    "Hai, Hikaru-chan. Sorry, I was just thinking." I took her hand and led
her to the dance floor. We ended up dancing close to Ayukawa and Hayden-kun.
He was talking to her about himself. Apparently she had asked about him.

    Hayden-kun known as Shawn David Hayden was telling her about his home in
Tacoma, Washington, a part of the United States that was in the northwest
corner. I had never been there and, to my knowledge neither had Ayukawa. He
told her about his family. His parents both worked for a worldwide marketing
company that made travel common with her. She was never home. It sounded a
lot like Ayukawa's situation with her parents. This made me uneasy as, it
gave them a common bond. He also seemed to outclass me in other areas. He had
a car, a 1957 Chevy Belair. It was a classic I guess. I'm not really much
into cars. He also had a motorcycle and he worked part time as a mechanic for
a man named Larry. His goal in life was to own a chain of shops. I was
concerned how interested Ayukawa seemed to be in this. 
    Hikaru-chan pressed closer to me and, I held her as I watched them dance.
Ayukawa was looking at me over his shoulder and, she smiled at me and looked
down. What did that mean? Trying to read her emotions has been at times very
difficult for me. Hikaru-chan looked at me. "Ohhh Darling. I'm having so much
fun tonight? Are you?"
    I nodded. "Hai, Hikaru-chan."
    Suddenly, I saw Hayden-kun begin massaging Ayukawa slowly across the back
as they danced. I saw her stiffen briefly and, I waited for her to break away
and slap him. It didn't happen. Instead she relaxed and I realized,  she
might actually be falling for this hentai! Nooooo!!
    My rage flared up inside me! He had no right to be so close to her! He
hardly even knew her! Before I could stop it, my anger took control. I used
"the power" and, I watched as Hayden-kun was thrust away from Ayukawa and
slammed headfirst into a nearby table. Food fell from the table all over him
Ayukawa was standing there trying to figure out what happened.
    Hayden-kun got up. He was looking right at me. His look darkened and, I
watched as if in slow motion or a dream as he crossed the room and approached
me. He was wiping food off his clothes as he went. He reached me and, he
turned to Hikaru-chan. "I'd like a word with your boyfriend..." he looked at
me. "Outside." Ayukawa came over to us. "Are you alright Hayden...I mean Shawn?"
    He nodded. "Just fine. I slipped, sorry. Must be these shoes. Kasuga, come
back with me to our room for a moment ok?
    I nodded stiffly. I heard Hikaru-chan laugh. "Don't be long Darling!"
    We both walked out the door together, Hayden-kun putting a friendly arm
around my shoulder. "We need to talk!" he hissed angrily in my ear.
    As soon as we reached the top of the stairs on the upper deck, I felt a
violent push from behind that sent me sprawling to the deck. Before I could
get up, I was seized by my arm and slammed hard into a nearby bulkhead!
    "What's your problem, Kasuga?" He was glaring at me, his steel blue eyes
almost looked like they were seeing through me! I was speechless.
    He swore at me. "I said what's your problem? Answer me! I'm not going to
hang with a guy that can't stand me and not know why! Talk!"
    I noticed at once, his japanese had vastly improved. Almost fluent. It
suddenly dawned on me...he KNEW japanese! He must know it! This act of trying
to learn it..
    I was getting angry. I got real angry. I looked at him and swore.
"Hentai! You know japanese! That act isn't fooling me anymore!"
    He nodded. "So what. It works with getting close to japanese chicks
acting like your trying to learn the language. But again, what's your major
problem? Why did you slam me like that using telekenetics?"
    I froze. HE KNEW!! He smiled at me seeing the color drain from my face.
How did he know? I hadn't been that obvious had I? "Uhmmm, I don't know what
you mean.." I began.
    "Don't play that with me, Kasuga! Dude, my sister throws stuff at me
regularly using telekenetics! My other sister is a child genius! My parents
got abilities! I grew up with it. I know telekenetics when I see it! I
suspected you were teleketic when you slammed that ball today!"
    I swallowed hard. "Uhmm, I think you are making a mistake.."
    "Yeah ok." He swore again. "Let me show you something." He put up his
finger and I leaped back as suddenly, flame came from it. He smiled at me.
"See dude? I'm that way too. I can create fires and do other cool stuff. My
sister Marcia can fly, plus throw things. So, are Kurumi and Manami this way
too? Madoka maybe? How many of your family are there?"
    I was in shock. This hentai had "the power" or something like it. He was
now an even more dangerous threat then I had originally thought. "Uhmm I
don't want to talk about this." 
    Yeah ok, man." He shook his head and looked hard at me. "I just want to
be clear on one thing. Why are you messing with me?"
    "Messing with you?" I asked puzzled.
    "Do I have to spell it out for you? Madoka, man! For some reason, you
don't like seeing me with Madoka! I can tell. Why is that? You got a chick
man, Hikaru is pretty cool. So why are you..." he stopped suddenly. "Wait a
second here. I think I'm seeing this. You like Madoka don't you?"
    I clammed up. I wanted to pound Hayden-kun into the deck but, I was so
unerved by all this and, I was concerned now for our welfare. What would
this hentai do with this information?
    "Uh huh." He nodded slowly. "This is a raw deal man. This really sucks!
How long has this been going on? You love Madoka but, you're with Hikaru.
Simple. Break up with Hikaru."
    "I can't do that!" I blurted out before I realized what I was doing. "It
would hurt her too much!"
    Hayden-kun shrugged. "It's gonna hurt a lot more later on. And, unless
you do, I'm going to cut in front of you. In fact, since your with Hikaru,
I'm going after Madoka!"
    "Hentai!" I shouted. "You don't love Ayukawa! She'll never fall for you!"
    "I think I got a better chance then you right now, Kasuga." He was
infuriating me now with that impish grin of his. "I'm going to date her this
whole trip and hopefully, win her over. Does she like you?"
    I looked down. I had nothing more to say.
    "So it's mutual huh? I'll have to change that I guess. She's a babe and I
want her. I'll win her before this voyage is over. Count on it!"
    I looked up, my anger growing. I wanted to throw him over the side of the
ship. And, I could do it too! He wasn't going to touch Ayukawa, not if I had
anything to do with it!
    "Don't get any funny ideas either about interfering." He laughed. "I'd
hate to see Hikaru hurt as much as you. Besides, if you try too hard, I may
have to make your life miserable."
    Before I could say anything, a sudden wind slammed me hard to the deck. I
looked up in shock. He was smiling smugly. "I forgot to mention, I can also
control weather to a limited extent. I don't know what you can do besides
throw me but, once I get up, I can take you for one heck of a ride. Or burn
you to a crisp." he lit one finger on fire and pointed it at me. "I'd hate to
have to do that, Kasuga. I'll keep this our little secret if that's ok? Peter
and Jim don't know what I can do and, I'm sure Hikaru doesn't know what you
can do. So we'll keep our mouths shut. You stay out of my way. I'll stay  out
of yours. Fair? Otherwise, I'm going to have to get really nasty with you.
And that would hurt all our friendships."
    I didn't know what else I could say. I had never been in this kind of a
predicament before. A rival for Ayukawa. An ESPER rival! This was truly the
worst! I hung my head.
    "Don't think about it too long." he said. "The girls are waiting and,
they'll wonder what the deal is. I'm going to our room to change. I want to
get along with you, Kasuga. We just have to understand each other. Madoka is
going to be mine! Lay off her!" I heard him walk away as, my world came
crashing down.....
