"The answer is the number ten, Hiyoshi-kun." Hiyoshi gave Jiroh a perplexed gaze.

"How is that the answer?"

"Ten is the answer for everything. That's why!" Jiroh bounced a little as he spoke.

"But ‘ten' doesn't answer my question, Jiroh senpai." Jiroh laughed.

"Of course it does. Otherwise I'd be wrong." Hiyoshi stood silently for a moment trying to come up with some sort of explanation as to how the number ten could possibly answer his question, and came up with nothing.

"You're wrong." Jiroh took a sip from his can of soda and grinned.

"No I'm not. But I'm making you think, aren't I?" Hiyoshi frowned and decided to drop the subject and continue eating his lunch, but after a few minutes his curiosity got the better of him.

"Tell me."

"Tell you what?"

"How ‘ten' answers my question." Jiroh laughed.

"Humm…do you really want to know?" Hiyoshi gave a slight grunt, signifying his interest.

"Okay. I'll tell you." Jiroh leaned forward and kissed Hiyoshi, who's lips were slightly parted with curiosity.

"That's how." Hiyoshi scowled.

"That's a dumb answer." Jiroh chuckled.
