As I was heading to Kenji house I was starting to get a little nervous, I don't know why. I went up to the door and gave it a knock.
"Hello."
"Hi Ms. Yoshizuki."
"Oh Miori, its good to see you."
"Yeah same here, hey is Kenji here?"
"No, I'm sorry sweetie; he's at the gym working out with Shido."
"Oh, hey can you tell me where the gym is?"
"Sure sweetie, just go down the street and take a right."
"Thanks Ms. Yoshizuki, it was good seeing you."
"Same here sweetie, bye."
Me and Shido were working out and hitting the punching bag. I was still upset about Miori and all that. I thought this would help me get out all my anger and stress but it just made it worse.
"Hey dude I got to go and eat dinner, wanna come over and join?"
"Nah Shido, I'm going to stay a little while longer."
"You're still upset about Miori aren't ya?"
"Yeah"
"Don't worry about it dude, she'll forgive you, just give her some time."
"Yeah, you're right."
"Alright I'll see you later dude."
Alright later Shido."
Shido left me and I was alone, so I continued punching the bag. And I was thinking of Miori.
I got to the gym and there was a few in there but I didn't see Kenji. I was about to leave then I saw Shido and I decided to ask where Kenji was.
"Hi Shido."
"Oh, hey Miori."
"Do you know where Kenji is?"
"Yeah he's in the back punching the punching bag."
"Okay, thanks, I'll see you around."
"Alright later."
I ran to the back as fast as I could and then I saw Kenji. He was sorta of half-naked; all he had on was workout pants. I saw his musclecur body tense up everytime when he kicked or punched the bag. His body wasn't like those of a bodybuilder but more of a fighter body type. He had a six pack and he was glistened with sweat. And I could see all scars that he got from fighting all over body. Oh wow, I couldn't help but just stare at him. Was I attracted to him? I started to feel weird now. It was awhile before I could say anything.
"Kenji."
"Miori."
Miori was here and she was looking at me weird. She realized that I noticed how she was looking at me and she started to blush. I just smiled.
"I got your message."
"Oh, good."
"Is that why you wouldn't tell me? Just so you could protect me?"
"Yes, I have a lot of enemies at and outside of school. I couldn't risk you getting hurt."
"How many enemies do you have from fighting?"
"That doesn't matter anymore."
"Why."
"Because I'm giving up street fighting for you."
"What! But why?"
"I think have enough scars on my body as it is and I don't want to go up to you everyday bruised and bloody."
"Really? Oh Kenji!"
"What the…"
She hugged me and I don't know why. I guess it's because I'm doing something for her just for her.
After he said that I just had the sudden urge to hug him. I could feel his sweat from his musclecur body on me but I didn't care.
"You know Miori, I'm sweaty right now."
"I know but I don't care."
"Ha ha, okay, let's go home."
"Yeah okay Kenji."
We left the gym together and then all of a sudden she's holding my hand. I felt great knowing that I might have a chance with her.
