Secret Ambitions

Sekiro Okuyama was a typical internet-savvy young man. He went to high school at Mahora's fraternal academy for boys. However, he was not like most guys in many respects. Although he spent a lot of time at various web sites, he also exercised and got decent grades. While he was by no means perfect, he tried to be nice to girls, but they all hated him. Most of them thought he was just out to get laid.

Well, he heard about the web site that had a very hot Mahora babe on it. He visited Chisame's site and saw her there. However, unlike most people, he observed in one shot that her hair was a little off. In enhancing the picture, he could see that she was wearing a wig and that her natural hair color was green. Sekiro knew this information was valuable for tracking this babe down.


Damnit, not again. I don't need this, Chisame thought. Her webcam crapped out again and there was no fixing it this time. She'd have to get a new one. She wanted to post some new pictures again, but the webcam just wouldn't work. The first day she could get one, though, was Saturday. She announced on the message boards about the technical problems and that she'd post some new pictures on Saturday. However, she let them know she'd still be around to chat.


That Saturday Chisame took the train from Mahora to Akihabra. As fate would have it, Seikro went there as well to get some blank CDs. Also coincidentally, they went into the same store about the same time. Chisame was looking at the various cameras and deciding which one to buy when Sekiro came by. Sekiro spotted her and thought she looked familiar. He secretly snapped a picture of her with his camera phone. Then he passed by her. She noticed him, and looked at him scornfully.

Ew. There's some slimy guy looking at me, Chisame thought. She didn't know that he was Kamehana3 on her message board though. Sekiro passed her by without saying anything though.

Back home, he sent the picture of Chisame to his PC. He did a side-by-side comparison of her with a photo of her idol self. Except for the glasses and hair color, they looked a lot alike. After turning the idol's hair color green, He then ran a comparison program. It came back with the following:

Alpha=.02%
Probability of match= 95%

Bingo. Now I need to find out just who she is, Sekiro thought. He then stopped for a moment. He wondered what he should do with her once he confronted her. Demand sex? Demand just a kiss? Demand to be her boyfriend? What if she already had one? What if she won't meet him? He then realized this was a delicate situation that would have to be handled carefully. Worst case scenario had him meeting her only to have her kill him. He figured the chance of that happening was very slim though.

Chisame didn't think about the guy that she passed by in the store very much. She certainly didn't think he would do what he was planning. She was just glad to get her webcam up and running again. To celebrate, she donned the costume of Lara Croft. She even had a mock version of Lara's gun. She filmed herself doing various dramatic poses and then posted the results online. The reaction was immediate and favorable. Lots of guys enjoyed seeing Chisame in shorts and a skin-tight blouse. Chisame would later get a bunch of replies on her message boards.


It took Sekiro about three weeks to come up with a plan. He bought a girl's handkerchief and would go to Mahora on the pretense of returning it to Chisame. He arrived outside the campus and looked around. The first student that he saw was Nodoka. When she saw him, she ran away in terror. Sekiro wondered what was going on when he ran into Evangeline and Chachamaru.

"You must be really lost, boyo." Evangeline said. What are you doing at a girls' only school?" Sekiro took the picture of Chisame out and showed it to Evangeline, along with the handkerchief.

"I'm looking for this girl. She dropped this handkerchief and I wanted to return it to her." Sekiro said. Evangeline, naturally, saw through this like a window.

"You really know how to pick them, don't you boyo? Chisame isn't interested in guys. You're better off asking a tree to date you." Evangeline said.

So her name is Chisame. Now we're getting somewhere.

"No, I just wanted to return this to her." Sekiro said. Evangeline then took the handkerchief from him.
"
Well then, I'll return it for you." Evangeline said. She then made a shooing motion with her hand. "Off you go boyo." Evangeline, of course, knew full well that the handkerchief didn't belong to Chisame.

Damn bitch, Sekiro thought. He knew
Full well that Evangeline would throw the handkerchief away, or keep it for herself. Well, best to return home and regroup.


"What will you do with the handkerchief, mistress?" Chachamaru asked.

"Hmm... Well, this should be good for a few laughs. I think I'll give it to her. I want to see Chisame's reaction to having a secret admirer." Evangeline said with a sinister smile.


Well, the next day at school, Evangeline came up to Chisame. Naturally, Chisame was quite apprehensive about this. Evangeline and she never talked, and Evangeline gave her the creeps anyway.

"Some lad came by yesterday and said this was yours." Evangeline said as she held out the handkerchief. "Lucky. He was cute too." Evangeline said smiling. Chisame nervously took the handkerchief from Evangeline.

"Uh... Right." Chisame said nervously. She was apprehensive about everything. Chisame put the handkerchief away. She thought it was some kind of trap from Evangeline.

Oh, that look on her is so precious, Evangeline thought. Some of the other girls had noticed this, and came up to them.

"Hey, what's going on?" Kazumi asked.

"Chisame's got a secret admirer." Evangeline said. "And a right good lad at that." Everyone else was filled with anticipation, except Chisame. She was filled with utter terror.

"Ooh! A guy likes you! So what do you think?" Kazumi asked.

"Uh, ah, erm..." Chisame stammered. She thought that she would never have to face this situation. Who in their right mind would want her? Unless...

"He's got to be a pervert." Chisame said.

"He didn't look or act perverted to me." Evangeline said. This made Chisame squirm even more.

Evangeline, you are just evil, Chisame thought.

"Ooh a cute guy that's not perverted! I'll take him if you don't want him!" Fei said.

"I want him if you don't too!" Kazumi said. Chisame tried to stop this before it got out of control.

"Hold on here. We need to find out about him before going all hyper-hormonal. I'll check him out." Chisame said.

"Damn. Well, find out if he has a brother." Fei said.


On the other side of the classroom, Chachamaru and Evangeline were talking.

"I do not see the logic behind this." Chachamaru said. Evangeline couldn't help but giggle like a little schoolgirl.

"Oh, Chisame-chan is squirming like a worm over this one. It's so precious." Evangeline said.

"As you wish, mistress." Chachamaru said.


Well, Chisame reasoned that this mysterious man must know her secret. She was a little frightened by this; he simply *must* be stalking her. She checked over the message boards for anyone sounding creepy again; there wasn't anything like that. She began to have several thoughts run through her mind; Evangeline was lying; the guy was looking at her through her window right now. Well, she reasoned that Evangeline was trying to make her look bad. She then thought that paranoia was her enemy here. Little did she know...


Well, Sekiro found out more about Chisame, and the more he found out, the more he wanted to really meet her. He had an ace in his sleeve, however. He got a part-time job in Shibuya at a costume shop. After a couple of weeks there, he ran the idea to his supervisor to have Chisame model for them.

"She's very popular online, and I understand she's looking for some way to make this pay." Sekiro said. The manager gave him the green light to contact her. Sekiro sent an e-mail to Chisame inviting her to the store and be a model here for a day. Chisame initially blew him off; she thought he was just out to meet her and then drool all over her. (Of course, she thought this way about most guys.)


Still Sekiro wouldn't give up. He then posted on the boards about this idea. A lot of people liked the idea of meeting their heroine in person, even if she was in a store window. Chisame was getting a lot of pressure from her fans to do this. Realizing she was in a no-win situation, she agreed to come down to the shop for one day only on a Saturday and model for them. When she got there, they greeted her and they showed her their selection of costumes. Sekiro introduced himself as they went to the racks.

"Just pick out what you want to wear." Sekiro said. Chisame looked over the costumes and selected as her first one a magical girl outfit. After changing, the manager asked her to stand in the window. Chisame did so and started waving at the people passing by. Naturally, she attracted some guys that thought she was hot. Soon several guys were


After the day ended, Sekiro talked to Chisame.

"We saw a big rise in sales." Sekiro said. Chisame merely smiled.

"Well, there is one other thing I was hoping for..." Sekiro said.

"What might that be? Coming back every week?" Chisame asked.

"I want a girlfriend." Sekiro said. "I'll start with treating you to dinner wherever you'd like." Chisame's look went from playful curiosity to extreme anger.

"LIKE *HELL* I'LL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!!" Chisame shouted at Sekiro as she bunched up her fists. She wasn't about to let this guy into her life. She didn't need a man; after all, she had gotten along just fine without one so far.

"Well then, I guess I'll just have to let your classmates know about your online self." Sekiro said. "I know who you really are, Ms. Chisame Hasegawa." Chisame's look went from anger to shock.

"How the hell did you..?" She started.

"It wasn't that hard. I did catch a break when I showed a photo of you to a classmate." Sekiro said. "Come on, it's a win-win situation.

Damn you, you asshole. Damn you to hell, Chisame thought. She knew in her heart of hearts that this would end up disastrously. Well, some guys just have to learn the hard way... Gritting her teeth, Chisame stared coldly at him.

"All right, you want a bad relationship? You'll get one." Chisame said. "I am difficult to please."

"Hey, just one shot is all I need." Sekiro said as he took her hand. Chisame took her hand away from him.

"You want to hold hands with me, you got to earn that privilege." Chisame snapped. Sekiro took this in stride.

"So where would you like to eat?" He asked Chisame. Chisame grimaced at him.

"You're really serious about taking me to dinner, aren't you?" She asked.

"After a long day of standing around waving at people, aren't you hungry?" Sekiro asked.

Damnit, why won't he take a hint!? Chisame thought. Then she had the answer.

"I want to go to the Sawashiro restaurant." Chisame said. It was nearby and quite expensive.

"Let's go then." Sekiro said.
