[Time: 4:00 p.m. Kaede is on his way to Satoshi's house.] * Kaede rides his bike slowly along the edge of the street. He stops for a moment and looks at the directions. "Hmm, let's see..." [The area Kaede is passing through has a good number of stores.] * Kaede looks up at the stores, blinking. Doesn't quite seem familiar. Don't think he took a wrong turn though. I...guess I need to get out more. * Kaede looks back at his directions, then looks at the street again. "Alright, so I go to the end of this block and make a right it looks like..." ( Ok, gimme a perception roll. ) (What's with Dicey? And 11, then 10, then 9 :P) [Kaede doesn't recognize the area. At all.] * Kaede frowns and stops his bike. "Maybe, I'd better ask and make sure..." * Kaede looks for the closest shop. [Kaede sees that the closest place is a clothes shop.] * Kaede shrugs and walks in, looking around for the purveyor of fine fabric goods. [As soon as he walks into the shop, Kaede gets kind of a bad feeling. He realizes why when he spots Tenjirou in the back, near the dressing rooms. He's wearing white pants and a fishnet shirt under a leather jacket.] [As for the store's owner, he's standing behind the counter to the right.] * Kaede looks in the store, and stops. His teeth clench and he makes a fist, but he tries to control it. [Tenjirou doesn't seem to notice Kaede as he calls at the booth. "You about done?" A female voice replies, "Just a second!"] [Meanwhile the store owner watches Kaede from behind the counter. "Can I help you?"] * Kaede looks for a place he can watch without being noticed, even if Tenjirou wanted to notice him, and almost whips around at the shop keeper, but blinks. * Kaede recovers slightly and keeps his voice down so Tenjirou doesn't hear. "Actually, I just needed some directions..." He shows the notepad page to the owner. [The owner nods. "Okay."] * Kaede keeps one eye on Tenjirou and, curiously, on the dressing room. * Kaede keeps his eye trained on the dressing room as he speaks softly to the owner. "Hold on those instructions for a moment...what's the address of this place?" [The owner gives him the address.] * Kaede nods and goes over behind one of the displays, ducking down a bit and pulling out his cell, dialing Satoshi's number and cupping his hand over the mouthpiece. * Kaede blinks slightly at the hangup and scowls a little more. Dialing again. If they don't know why they're coming, that's not good. * Kaede looks from side to side and speaks quickly into the phone. [As Kaede feared (maybe), Remi comes out of the dressing room, wearing a black dress that's really low, and really short. She has her hands folded infront of herself, and is blushing. "I don't know... I feel awfully embarressed wearing this."] * Kaede blinks at that, stopping on the phone, dropping it with a clatter... Tenjirou smiles. "You look great. Trust me." Remi blushes deeper. "Oh... Well, if you think so..." [Tenjirou and Remi both look over at Kaede when he drops the phone.] * Kaede 's just staring, unmoving, at the both of them, crouched near the floor. [Remi eeps and freezes.] * Kaede can't seem to find his voice. [Remi ducks back into the dressing room.] Ru...Remi...? Tenjirou smilies. "Well." * Kaede slowly turns over to Tenjirou. Very very slowly. (He smilies! Wai! Does that mean he does the :) or the :-) or the ^_^?) ( >:) ) (Figures ;P) ....you.... "Guess it's been a while, eh?" * Kaede scowls, barely holding any contempt back in his expression. "What the hell did you do to her???" Tenjirou looks surprise. Well, not really. "It's none of your buisness. I'm just taking the lady out for a nice time." * Kaede clenches and unclenches his fist. "She happens to be a good friend of mine, so I'd say it is at least somewhat some of my business..." "She told me she wasn't seeing anyone." She's...she's not...but...she can do better than YOU! "THAT's what's none of your buisness." [The store manager is starting to look worried.] * Kaede glares at Tenjirou. "Says who? I don't care what your opinion is. I want to hear it from her own mouth." He shrugs, and turns his head to face the dressing room. "Hey Remi, do you want me to leave?" Remi comes out of the dressing room, wearing clothing that's more suitable, to say the least. She shakes her head. "No. I..." Remi looks at Kaede. "He's right. You're making a big fuss." * Kaede watches Remi closely. Real closely. ...are you sure? Remi hesitates, but then nods. Tenjirou turns his head back to Kaede. "See?" He puts his arm around Remi's shoulder. * Kaede watches Tenjirou and glares at him again. I don't believe you... Remi: "Well... You know, I've never been on a date before, but... Tenjirou seems like a nice guy." I didn't say I don't believe YOU, Remi... * Kaede eyes Tenjirou. "I just don't believe that he's letting you say what you want..." Remi shakes her head. "No, this is how I feel." * Kaede walks over to the two of them and grabs Remi by the wrist. "Tell me the same thing outside while he's in here and I'll believe you." Remi: "Wha-? Kaede?!" Tenjirou slaps Kaede's hand away. "Hey, don't you touch her." * Kaede glares at Tenjirou. "I could say the same thing."
