They walked in silence for a while, Kuno fighting valiantly to keep his wits about him. For a lesser man, it would have been impossible—especially after this morning’s close call, when he had very cleverly used the art of misdirection to keep Nabiki from discovering his terrible, terrible secret—

“So, Kuno-baby, how was your trip to China?” she asked him.

Fortunately, Kuno was a master of deflecting questions meant to disarm him.

“Ch…China? China?! Haha, hah, what, who—who said anything about China?” he said. His knees rattled as he walked, slowing him to an eventual wobbly halt. Luckily, Nabiki stopped when he did.

“Fall in any interesting bodies of water lately?” she followed up, blinking at him coyly.
