Hana x Yori ff story

Chapter 1: Rendezvous

***

"Are expired poisons still poisonous?"

Yori asked no one in particular but herself. She was bored with the huge silence around her.

"Hmm… Well I never heard anyone drinking expired poisons… so maybe it is." A male low voice uttered in front of her.

Yori glanced at the male in front of her and looked at him. Well that sure broke the ice. They had been in the café for an hour now. All they thrown one another for the last minutes were sentences that comprised of nods and answerable questions with yes or no. This is one hell of a blind date. Yes, Sayori Wakaba… a freshman in high school was attending a blind date. If you consider this as a real date, DATE.

But deep inside Yori knew this was only a waste of her precious time. She was not the outgoing type of person who would go to do these kinds of things. She was Yori, a quiet introvert and known anti-socialist. No one could ever imagine that she would go on a date and especially go out with a guy like the one in front of her.

His name is Jonathan Minami. He's already a college student studying in the prestigious K University. He's an athlete and scholar in the said university. His grades were average but nevertheless good. His looks and appearance weren't so bad either. His raven hair matched his pale apricot skin. She also noticed that he had dimples on his cheeks when he smiled. All in all, he was handsome and all his assets could send all girls squealing in delight just to boot him.

Well… not all girls. She was an exception. Despite his looks, his brain and intellect, also his gentleman attitude she didn't find him appalling to her taste.

She wasn't looking for someone breathtakingly handsome like some fiction character from a book. She wasn't looking for some genius and smarty pants that could be mistaken as a walking encyclopedia. For heaven's sake, looks and intellect didn't matter to her.

It wasn't because she didn't believe in love. She does believe in love. Only… she wasn't ready to be in that kind of situation. She was just a teenager… a high school student who wants to live a normal life and finish her studies. Was that too much to ask?

Well, apparently it was. It was for her mother.

Her mother, Ayame Wakaba, hooked her up in these silly blind dates and group dates ever since she was old enough to be independent. Yes, Yori had been going through the same dates over and over again. Who knows how many blind dates and match making tips her mother had pushed her into? It didn't matter to her anyway. After this, she was sure her mother would not stop nagging her to attend more appointments with the opposite gender. And unless she would agree to her mother, you can bet the woman would not stop pestering her. Her mother was playing cupid but she couldn't blame the woman. She was obviously desperate.

Her floating thoughts fall down the table when she heard him chuckle, it was probably because of her ice breaker earlier. She weakly smiled back and asked him, "I'm glad you found that amusing."

"Well, of course I do. Your mother told me that you were more of the serious and quiet type. She never told me you had some humor in you. I'm impressed. I like those kinds of girls who can knock me out with their hilarious comments." He uttered with amusement.

Yori tried so hard not to roll her eyes and make a sarcastic remark on what he said. She couldn't believe it, after her weird ice breaker he found her entertaining. She wasn't a clown or a performer and she was especially not the kind of girl that would knock him dead out of hilarious and nonsense jokes.

Her smile slowly faded as her eyes drooped down on her half-finished plate. She was totally not in the mood to eat nor to talk with her blind date. If not for her mother, she wouldn't even dream of ever coming to meet the guy. She sighed and looked at him.

Her sigh caught his attention and his gaze locked on hers. She tried to decide whether she should tell him the truth or leave this date as it is. Unfortunately, she chose the first one.

"Can I be honest with you?" She asked him. He nodded and paved way to her question. She took a deep breath and uttered, "Would you dislike it if I told you 'I don't think this is going to work between us?'"

She was straight forward and frank but it was better than letting the guy have his hopes up on her. She wasn't the type of girl that told lies just to make everyone feel good. Plus, it was better to part ways in fair and good terms.

Jonathan smiled at her and nodded. "I didn't think so too. Well, it was nice till it lasted. Plus, you do know I only did this because your mother asked my mother, right?"

"Yes, don't worry. I don't blame you for trying." She apologized and slightly bowed at him. She saw him stand up and beamed down at her.

"It's okay. I guess I'll see you around. Good bye, Miss Wakaba." He uttered before leaving. He slightly bowed and continued walking away from her.

Yori slouched on her seat and closed her eyes. Another date failed, another guy turned down and another day wasted. Was her vacation and free time going to be like this? She would rather go lock herself up in her room rather than doing this.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard her phone rung. She wished that it wasn't her mother scolding and lecturing her again about the date tonight. She was exhausted and tired. She didn't want anyone biting her head off especially her mother.

Yori took a few deep breaths first before looking at the caller ID. She clicked a button and answered the call. She placed it near her ear and said, "Hello, this is Yori."

"Hey, how's the date coming?" A high pitched female uttered on the other line. "I hope you didn't turn him down again like the other three hundred and eighty four guys mom hooked you up with." The female voice teased her.

Yori smirked at the comment and stated, "How could you count all of my blind dates, Airi-onee?" She asked her elder sister and sighed. "No matter, you can add him to the list."

"What?! Oh my god… you're such a heart breaker, Yori. Well, not that you care about it." Airi mumbled on the other line and sighed. On the other hand she rolled her eyes and shook her ehad. "So, since I know you're alone now. We'll pick you up. We're going bar hoping."

"And why would I go with you guys?"

"Well… that's because you know mom is going to scold you if you return home this early and with that lame excuse." Her sister mocked her and she sighed in frustration.

"Fine. I'm at the nearby café." She uttered and stood up from her seat. She took her purse and walked out of the café.

***

Yori was pulled by her elder sister, Airi, inside the bar. She had to admit, this was how she pictured the place. Tonight was her first time ever in a place like that and she had to be honest, she didn't like the place one bit.

It was absolutely noisy and people were crazy on the dance floor. Then she saw a few people sitting on the seats inside. They were busy drinking alcohol and gawking at the dancers on the floor.

She shook her head and looked at her sister. She couldn't believe that her sister dragged her into this. Airi was five years older than her and she enjoyed a lifestyle that was the complete opposite of Yori's.

They sat in the secluded part of the bar. Yori was thankful that it was a little dark so if anyone from school was there or anyone so she knew, she wouldn't attract too much attention.

Airi stood up with her male friend and walked towards the dance floor. She excused herself to Yori and giggled as she looked at the guy. She placed her hands on his arms and snuggled close to him. Then as they blended with the crowd, Yori couldn't see her sister anymore.

She shook her head and looked at the bartender.

"Anything I can get for you miss?" He asked her and smirked.

Yori shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "I'm okay." She whispered and glanced away from the man. She looked at her sister and saw that she was still in the dance floor, dancing like some freed prisoner. She sighed and stared back at the man. "On the other hand, can you give me 3 shots?"

"Right-o." the man uttered and placed three small glasses in front of her. Then he poured some white liquid in it and shoved it to her.

Yori looked at the drinks and gulped it. She wasn't a drinker nor was she a sober. She only drank in special occasions and circumstances like today. She finished swigging the last glass shot and placed a hand on her head. She sighed and dazed off to her own world.

She thought of her life in Cross Academy, she liked it more there than here. Unfortunately, it was vacation and everyone had to go home for the holidays. Well, not that everyone was required to go home. If given the chance she would rather like to stay with the Chairman and her best friend Yuuki while on holidays but then again, she knew her mother wouldn't agree.

Her mother wanted her family to be complete during those festive times and everyone was required to stay at home during those days. If not, expect trouble and a long time of lecturing.

Yori's thoughts were interrupted again when the bartender gave her another drink. This time it was a fruit punch. She looked at him and he smirked, "Thought you needed this. Don't worry it's on the house. You look like some troubled stray cat. You should totally try to enjoy life little missy."

"Well, I don't exactly have the time in the world mister." She answered him coldly.

He eyed on her and said, "Who says anyone has that? Missy, time is something we cannot grasp. But then, we could obtain it if we really want to."

"How?"

"Well, you wouldn't be here to kill some time wouldn't you? And those people wouldn't be enjoying themselves if they didn't have time to spend here."

Yori looked at the man. For a bartender of a bar, he sure had some logic and common sense in him. She nodded and sipped the fruit punch. She emptied the drink. Suddenly after drinking it, she felt the call of nature. She had absolutely drank too much tonight. She stood up and told the man that she was going to the rest room. The guy pointed the direction to the room and she followed it. Soon she went inside the girl's room and did what she had to do.

***

Yori walked out of the rest room and found herself staggering. She realized that the alcohol had taken its effect on her. She was getting dizzy and her thoughts were all blurry. She scolded herself for asking too much hard stuffs on the bartender. He was worried and yet she still pushed herself to the limit.

She leaned on the wall and sighed. She had totally and officially wasted her time tonight. She shook her head and decided to continue walking when she bumped into a guy with lean physique.

"Ouch." She uttered and jerked away from the guy. Despite his not so well built body, she was still deflected by the force his body made. Fortunately, a pair of hands caught her shoulder. Those hands were enough to break her shaken posture. She tried to look at the man who caught her but unfortunately her head was already spinning.

She pushed him away and tried to walked passed him. She forgot to thank him and so the man tried to stop her. She tried to pull away from him but unfortunately his grip was too strong. He reeled her close to him and snaked his hands on her waist.

After that she heard him utter in a low husky voice, "You should learn how to say thank you." His voice sounded demanding and confident.

It made Yori's emotions stir. She glared at him even though she couldn't fully comprehend what he looked like. "Look, I'm completely drunk and I don't have the time to thank you properly whoever you are."

Since she was oblivious to her surroundings she couldn't see the smirk on his face as he said, "Well then, I guess I'll let myself enjoy your company for a while since I do have all the time."

Yori felt his hand roam on her body and held her neck. Then he exposed a part of her neck and licked it. She felt some light jolts striking on the bare surface of her skin. She tried to protest on the rude and perverted thing he was doing but then he was too strong for her to handle. She squirmed as she felt his tongue and lips on the part where his neck and shoulder where joint.

He licked it and mouthed, "Don't move or else I might do something else more than this." He threatened her but that didn't stop her. She continued squirming and that's when she felt two pointed things scratching on her skin.

Her senses and consciousness went back to her body. She pushed him away from her hard. Luckily, she was able to escape from his hug. She touched her neck and looked at him, "What the—" She uttered and remembered the two cold pointed things that had grazed her skin earlier.

But before she could ask or tell him what's on her mind, Yori felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Yori let's go. It's already late." It was Airi's voice. She pulled Yori away and strolled off the place.

Yori touched her neck and thought about what just happened earlier. Was it just her imagination? And who was that man who tried to harass her? Was he only there to harass her? She thought about those things as they drove home.

H: So there ya have it. Chapter 1. hm… hope you guys liked it. Anywhoo… So any guesses on the man who tried to harass her?
