Hi guys, time really flies.... now is to chapter 6 already..... But 
please forgive me for writing short chapters because I am the sort 
who writes on the moment of spur, and my memory span tends to fail me 
very fast, hehe.......

Anyway, hope you guys won't find my fanfic boring...... Thanxs

Now presenting to you..... Chapter 6

"Kotoko-chan, promise me something.....you must promise me....... no 
matter what........."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Kotoko was taken aback...... she had never seen Miki so serious and 
solemn before.

"Miki? What is it...... I promise you if I can, I will try my best to 
help you........"

As soon as Kotoko said that, Miki's eyes shone brightly.

"Really!!! Thank you, thank you......"

He hugs Kotoko tightly and weeps tears of happiness. But Kotoko still 
does not know what Miki wants her to help.

"Er.... So what do you want me to help you in? Get Irie-kun's 
photographs? But if you want me to give Irie-kun to you, that would 
be out of the question!"

"No, no, don't worry. Irie Naoki is yours to keep. But I want you to 
promise me that you will marry your daughter to me."

Everyone was shocked and surprised. Huh??

"Miki, er.. don't you think this is a bit too early to say that? I 
don't even know if my baby is a boy or a girl......."

"And who knows if the baby might be another Baka....."

Keita comes along and join in the crowd.

"Miki, be careful..... the baby might be like Kotoko and not 
Naoki....."

Kotoko starts to get mad. She grabs Keita by the collar, much to 
everyone's worries.....

"How dare you say that? Of course me and Irie-kun's child will be as 
clever as Irie-kun, after all he is the cleverest person in the 
world......."

"Kotoko, be careful..... be careful of my future wife........"

It was then that Kotoko realise she has just forgotten Naoki's 
reminder again. Immediately, she releases Keita and looks around to 
see if Naoki is nearby. 

If Irie-kun sees me behaving like this, thinks Kotoko, he will scold 
me again.

Unfortunately, Kotoko spots Naoki staring at her from afar, with a 
frown on his face.

Oh no! Irie-kun is angry...... what should I do? I must explain to 
him.... I didn't mean it.

Kotoko runs towards Naoki. However, she does not notice a small stone 
in front of her. Seeing this, Naoki rushes forward and manages to 
catch her just in the nick of time before she falls down.

"Baka, see what you have done again...."

Chided Naoki angrily. However, he was actually more worried for 
Kotoko's safety.

"Sorry, Irie-kun. It was an accident..... I will be more careful. 
Don't worry!"

Everytime you tell me not to worry, thinks Naoki, I get even more 
worried.

"Kotoko, be careful. What if something happens to my future wife?"

Miki looks at Kotoko worriedly, though he is apparently more worried 
about her baby then Kotoko.

"What future wife?"

Naoki asks aloud.......

"Kotoko has already promised your daughter's hand to me!"

Miki says proudly. Tomoko, Keita and Marina starts to sweat.... They 
knew what Naoki will say.......

"Sure....."

Everyone stood still. Did they hear wrongly? Naoki agreed? 

"But on one condition........"
