DISCLAIMER - WE DO NOT OWN ARISA.
I wish I did but unfortunately wishes don't always come true. Kudos to Natsumi Ando! - Ariah
If we did, we wouldn't be writing this... - Riku
Tsubasa went back to her normal life at her delinquent school after the whole 'king' situation with her twin sister, Arisa Sonoda.
It's been almost two weeks since then and I don't see her anymore. However...
"...make sure you bring Tsubasa along!" Shizuka ordered over the phone, making me grin at the excitement in her voice. "I want to see her again! Just one last time!"
I nodded and smiled to myself. "Yeah, don't worry about it." I told her, as I leaned back in my chair. "See you soon."
I ended the call and brought my hand to my chin in thought. It was easier said then done actually...
Tsubasa was one of those girls who were totally oblivious to relationships involving love, so I didn't have to worry about it but...
Why was it so hard now?
What was I so nervous about?
It was Tsubasa! A wild monkey with a bad sister complex that had a tendency to kick me everytime I said something wrong.
I closed my eyes and pictured her eccentric smile in my mind. It wasn't enough.
I hated to admit it to myself but I actually kind of missed her. She was bossy and too loud but...
A sigh escaped my lips and I found myself massaging the bridge of my nose as I sent her a text.
Yes, it's lame, but I didn't feel like I could say anything to her after all this time without making it feel awkward.
No, wait.
I could, what was I so worked up for? I dialed her number and put the phone closely to my ear.
It rang once,
twice...
four times...
and then,
"MANABE!"
I stared blankly at my wall and drew the phone away from my ear.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Couldn't you have called sooner or something?! I'm in the middle of a fight! Goddamnit, Manabe!"
Tsubasa's voice rang out loud and clear out of my phone and I sighed to myself as a few male voices yelled out to her in the backround.
Same old Tsubasa, I see.
A grin rose to my face.
"I was gonna go visit Shizuka," I said, making it quick. "You've got 5 minutes"
and with that, I hung up.
"F-five minutes?!" I cried into the phone, ignoring the taunting words being thrown at me from beyond my own little conversation with a phone that was now cut.
"Who the hell has time to beat someone up in five minutes?! And where are we meeting up anyway?!"
My fingers curled up around my cell phone and I threw a violent punch at the wall, making it crack at the edges.
"Who the hell does he think he is? Not contacting for two whole weeks, not replying to my text messages and even replying to the Verbal messages I sent through Arisa..."
A dark fury grew around me and the people I were fighting seemed to have began to slowly walk backwards to avoid me.
"...then he randomly calls when it's conveint for him and talks about going to see Shizuka?! Why the hell would I-"
My anger quickly dissolved and I blinked dumbfounded by what I had said.
Shizuka... we're going to see Shizuka?!
I felt the rage in my face disappear and replaced with a smile.
This is so great!
I thought, a childish grin splattered on my face.
That just means!
I turned around and glared at the challengers.
"That means, I should beat you guys quickly..." A senile giggle escaped my lips and I pounded my fist into my other palm.
"...let's finish this quickly so I can leave!"
Within less then two minutes I had them all on the ground begging for mercy.
Ahhh, those poor souls.
My eyebrow crooked upwards and I stomped on the ground. "How many times have I told you that I just want to be a normal cute girl!"
I yelled at them by the collar. "The next time you do this-!"
Suddenly I was caught off by the sound of a dog barking, and I looked behind me to find a little boy staring at me while taking a break from walking his dog.
"I-I mean... are you okayy? I didn't see you there!"
I said sweetly, pulling the beat up guy by his arm. "You have to be more-"
"Sorry. I saw everything..."
The little boy suddenly said, turning his head away.
"No you didn't you little brat!" I shouted.
I was walking outside with my hands shoved inside my pockets. My head was casted downwards and I closed my eyes in thought.
I kept wondering what I would do when I saw her again but my thoughts were suddenly shattered when the familiar growl of a voice rose up from ahead of me.
Tsubasa?
"At least pretend you didn't see it!" She shouted, aiming her voice towards a younger boy with his dog.
"I can't just pretend I didn't see it you know." The boy said back arrogantly.
"Besides, I feel a little bad for those guys. If they can't beat you then its just sad..."
"That's just you pitying them!" Tsubasa shot back, pointing her finger behind her at the now empty space that the thugs were at.
"How about I buy you icecream and you just forget it all?"
The boy shook his head and started walking the other way.
"No thanks, I don't want icecream from a demon like you." He said.
It was then that Tsubasa cursed under her breath then suddenly came into eye contact with me, giving me one of those looks that told me she was planning something, and I was going to be part of it. Her mouth open and she shouted:
"Mana-!"
"No."
I quickly said, turning my gaze away.
"Whaaat?! But you didn't even know what I was gonna say!"
She scowled running over to me.
"I can only guess it's something stupid." I said back sighing.
Suddenly, her face came close to mine and she squinted arrogantly into my eyes.
"Hey, not everyone is as twisted as you are!" she said, making me turn my head away.
"...says the girl who offered icecream to a boy so he would keep his mouth shut." I spat back, feeling her foot immediately ramming into my side.
"Well, EXCUSE me!" she scowled.
A sigh escaped my lips and I brought her attention back to our main objective.
"Shizuka wanted to see you." I told her, as I rubbed the back of my neck.
Her reaction was filled with surprise and excitement as I told her about my call with Shizuka earlier.
"Really?! She wanted to see me?" She asked, laughing nervously. "Gee, I'm sorta nervous! I haven't seen her in so long! How is she doing?"
I puffed out a groan and turned my gaze to the side.
"Ask her yourself."
Ariah: Well, that's it for chapter one! If you couldn't already tell, the perspective changes from Manabe to Tsubasa and back to Manabe. Personally, I tried to add more of Tsubasa's delinquent side to this even though originally she's not a delinquent, she's just a huge tomboy. Hope you liked! R&R! xD
