Notes: If it sucks, I?ll just chalk it up as a learning experience. RxH fluff meant solely to satiate my gimmicky obsession.
And - you guys are gonna hate me for this, and I'd totally understand but:
Pivotal Reunion has been officially scrapped. *grovels* I saw no end in sight for that particular fic, so I decided to cut my losses. Unlike PR I know the ending of this fic cause it'll be my own. I felt that with PR, I was spending too much time stressing about where to end it that I lost all interest in writing it. With TM, the plot is all my own, and that's where I draw my enthusiasm in writing it.
I hope for your understanding. It actually hurt to give it up, but I'd like to think that I've freed myself to fully focus on writing this fic very well.
Dedicated to: nightkat01, cause she rocks and I plan to stuff her in my suitcase when I go to Japan.

Chapter One: Prove It
?What did you just say??
The incredulity was evident in his voice. It went perfectly with the raised eyebrow and narrowed eyes trained on the cowering girl.
Well, that made two of them. Hatsumi Narita couldn?t believe what she?d said either.
?Uh, that is? to say?? Now how was she supposed to get out of this one? ?I-I-It was a joke??
?Really.? Now was that a question or just a statement implying how utterly lame her excuse was? Noting the mild expression on his face, Hatsumi astutely settled on the latter.
Clutching her book bag tight against her chest like a shield, she was acutely aware of two things: how torturously slow the elevator was going and, more disturbingly, how close the warm length of Ryouki Tachibana?s body was to her person. Daring to turn her gaze away, Hatsumi watched the digital screen above the elevator doors slowly count the floors.
Three? four? five -
A large hand slammed to the left of her head, snapping Hatsumi?s attention back to her master turned quasi-boyfriend. She paled at the sight that greeted her.
Ryouki was shaking his head. ?You?re outta line, Narita.? He leaned forward, shamelessly using his size to intimidate. ?You never insult your master. Especially when he?s doing you a favour.?
?B-but,? Damn it, why was she stuttering? For all her shaking, Hatsumi felt that Ryouki deserved her remark. She knew she was right, but where she?d erred was in voicing her opinion.
?But what??
?It?s just the truth. You? really don?t know everything. Nobody does.?
The cabin was silent for a moment until Ryouki barked out a laugh.
?You really are stupid, you know that? I was giving you a chance to apologize, and there you go again, insulting me.? The hand planted beside her head slid into her hair. ?Here I am helping you study, and what do I get as thanks? My slave doubting my intelligence??
Hatsumi felt her body tense as Ryouki?s head tipped ever closer to hers. His lips hovered a mere inch away, a threat in themselves. Squeezing her eyes shut, Hatsumi stood and anticipated the clumsy press of his lips. Oh, dear god, let this be quick!
It never came. Instead?
?So prove it.?
Hatsumi?s eyes flew open.
?What?!?
?You heard me.? Ryouki leaned away as the bell dinged, signaling the top floor. He stepped out and turned. Hand on the doors to keep them from closing, he bit his lower lip as he looked Hatsumi?s trembling form up and down.
?You think you know something that I don?t? Well, here?s your chance to prove it. Tomorrow night. Stairwell. Teach me something that I don?t know.?
Letting go of the doors, Ryouki ignored Hatsumi?s attempts to respond.
?Don?t be late.?
TBC...
Notes: Dun dun dunnnnnnnn.
Badly written and choppy as hell, I am the Queen of Bad Fiction! I really must look into getting a beta. Anyways, that was the first chapter, sweets. I have an idea of what Hatsumi?ll be teaching Ryouki, but if you?ve got any ideas, suggest away.
Ryo: I hope she teaches me how soft her *bleep*bleep*bleep*bleep* are.
BF: *smacks him with a baseball bat* No one asked you :-?
Ryo: *unconscious on the floor* Unh?
BF: *coughs* Anyways, don?t forget to suggest to me what Hatsumi?s lesson should be. Suggestions with chocolate or a large amount of money will be given extra consideration, of course
