Wildest Dreams
So Tsuchiura confessed to Kaho-chan, huh.
Kazuki remembers a few days back when he went into Minami Instruments to buy some sheet music. He didn't mean to, but he overheard Tsuchiura and Kaho-chan talking. He was about to go greet them when he heard Tsuchiura say, "I like you, Hino."
He was shocked into silence and froze where he stood. From his place behind the shelves he could peek around and see Kaho-chan and Tsuchiura by the piano. Neither of them said a word until Tsuchiura told her to consider what he said then he left. Kazuki could still see Kaho-chan. Her face was as red as his is whenever he tries to speak to her. She was speechless and he didn't know what to do. So he left.
He really didn't mean to eavesdrop, but since he had all he could think about was what he had seen.
I wonder how she's going to reply to him... What if she tells him she feels the same way? What if they start going out?
Kazuki, being the awkward boy that he is, immediately started to imagine Kaho-chan and Tsuchiura together; walking down the street hand-in-hand. He imagined them laughing together and...k-k-k-kissing.
"NOOOOOOO!" he ran his hands through his messy, green hair and dropped his head on his desk.
"Hihara-san! What do you think you are doing yelling in my class? Do you have something you wish to share with the class?" Sensei demanded me in a stern voice.
He looked up sharply and realized that he had drifted off in class. Even worse, he had said his thoughts out loud. Ahh, so embarrassing. "Gomen Sensei. I just, uhh, forgot to study for my theory test today."
Sensei gave him a sharp look that sent chills down his spine. "Hihara-san, please keep your thoughts to yourself and pay attention to class. You may study later."
"Hehee," all eyes were on him and he could only chuckle nervously. "Hai, Sensei."
Class continued after that. Kazuki looked down at his half-assed notes. At the same time he heard a snicker to his right where Yunoki sat. Kazuki ignored him and tried to focus on class.
He and Yunoki were exiting the school building and making their way to the school gates when Yunoki suddenly asked, "So what were you really thinking about that made you yell like that?"
Hihara's heart skipped a beat and his feet missed a step when his mind quickly flashed back to his thoughts of Kaho-chan...and Tsuchiura. He tried to cover up his blushing face by looking away from Yunoki.
However, he could not hide the stutter in his voice. "N-nothing. Nothing really. Why do you ask?"
Yunoki now had an evil, calculating gleam in his eyes and he smiled his sadistic little smirk. One that his best friend didn't see. "I was just wondering." He decided to jump to another topic that he knew would get a rise out of his friend. "You know I saw Hino-san and Tsukimori-kun in the park a few days before he left to study abroad. They looked very cozy."
Kazuki gave his friend a questioning look as if to say without saying, why are you telling me this?
Yunoki pretended to not notice his friend and kept talking, "They were playing Ave Maria, but it was different than Tsukimori's usual playing."
"Different?"
"His tone, it sounded very...loving. And the look in his eyes when he looked at Hino-san," Yunoki paused to look over at Kazuki meaningfully. "He looked at her like he was going to grab her and hold her close."
The implications of what Yunoki said made Kazuki blush all the way to the roots of his emerald hair. He looked like a perfectly ripe tomato.
Wait, is there something going on with Kaho-chan and Tsukimori-kun? Is that why she didn't say anything to Tsuchiura's confession? Because she was already in love with Tsukimori? They do spend a lot of time together in the practice rooms, on the roof, after school, and now in the park too? Maybe there is something going on with them.
Kazuki's mind immediately began to spout of thoughts of Kaho-chan and Tsukimori-kun together, maybe together in one of those private practice rooms with the soundproof walls where they could be...
"WAHHHHHHH! NO BAKA BAKA BAKA!" Kazuki threw his head back and screamed! It can't be!
"Hihara?"
Shocked back to reality by Yunoki's (amused?) voice, Kazuki looked around and noticed that the remaining students at Seiso were staring at him like he was crazy. This only made Kazuki blush harder than even before! Twice now he's made a fool of himself like this. Gahh.
"Hihara, are you-are you alright?" Yunoki had a concerned look on his face but the twitching of his mouth gave away his amusement.
"Ahh, stop laughing Yunoki!" Hihara hitched his bag and trumpet case higher on his shoulder and started walking briskly to the school entrance.
Yunoki, still trying to contain his laughter, followed his madly blushing friend. "So what were you thinking about this time that made you yell out, 'baka baka baka'?"
Kazuki didn't want to answer that question. One, because it was embarrassing to admit what he was thinking. Two, because he didn't want to think about it again, it gave him a funny feeling at the pit of his stomach.
He looked away at something in the distance and mumbled, "Ah hahaa uhh I just forgot to uhh buy some of the melon bread for lunch before they ran out. It's nothing important. Oh your car's here, I have to get going Yunoki! Ja ne!" He quickly made his escape before Yunoki could figure out what was really going on inside his head.
But, of course, Yunoki's sadistic plan had gone along perfectly and he laughed joyfully at his fruitful results. Ah, his transparent friend never failed to amuse him.
Kazuki made a mad dash from the school without looking where he was going. He still had his mind on Kaho-chan; how she laughed, how she poured out her emotions in her playing, her honest smile. He couldn't get her off his mind.
Suddenly he ran right into someone slight and soft, and he could feel them falling. His reflexes kicked in before either of them could fall over, however, he still lost his balance and fell back. The stranger that he had run into fell on top of him and took his breath away.
Kazuki wheezed and coughed, trying to get some much-needed air back into his deprived lungs.
"Oh no! Gomenasai!" the stranger got up hurriedly. "I'm so sorry for falling on you!"
Still wheezing, but breathing steadily again, Kazuki slowly sat up and rubbed his chest where the impact still left a lingering pain. "It's ok, my fault for running without looking at where I was going." He looked up at the stranger who was still apologizing profusely with her head bowed.
Right away he notice the cherry-red hair and the General Education Seiso uniform. "Kaho-chan?"
Kahoko looked up and recognized her sempai, still on the floor. "Hihara-sempai! It's you! I'm so sorry for knocking you over!" She helped him get up and dusted off his disheveled uniform. "Are you ok?"
Kazuki laughed. What a coincidence to run into her, literally, just as I was trying to run away from my thoughts of her.
"What's so funny?" Kahoko asked, confused.
Kazuki just waved his hand, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something. Anyways, I'm fine Kaho-chan."
She sighed in relief. "Good, I'd feel awful if you were hurt because of me."
"Ahh but I'm fine so no worries, right?" Kazuki smiled cheerfully which made Kahoko smile back at him.
Wow, her smile is beautiful.
"Is there something on my face?"
Kazuki snapped out of his revelry. "No, nothing! Nothing at all!" he chuckled nervously.
Shit I was staring again.
"Hihara-sempai, where were you running off to in such a hurry?" Kahoko asked. "You looked like you were running away from something."
Crap I don't want to tell her that I was thinking weird thoughts about her. Hurry! Think of something quick!
"I was just...going to go to this cake shop that I found the other day!" He said loudly. "They have the best French pastries there."
"Ooh that sounds good!"
A thought struck Kazuki, "Why don't you come with me? My treat."
"Really? But I couldn't possibly let you pay for me!"
"Consider it my apology for running into you." Kazuki smiled good naturedly. He spotted his trumpet and bag on the ground and picked them as well as Kaho-chan's bag. "Com'on, you can't let me go eat alone. It's more fun when you share good food with friends."
"Ehh ok." She took her bag from Kazuki. "Let's go!"
"Yeah, it's a date!" Kahoko suddenly blushed. Kazuki realized what he said and blushed as well. "Wait, no! Not like that! I mean, uhh, it's like two friends who are hanging out together having fun. Uhh, why don't we get going?"
He started heading away and Kahoko followed by his side. Both of them were still blushing and could barely speak to each other without stuttering.
Gah, why did I say date? So stupid. That would only happen in my wildest dreams.
While these thoughts were going through Kahoko's head.
Of course he didn't mean a date! Why would he want to go on a date with me? Only in my wildest dreams.
They both walked along, occupied with they're thoughts of something they thought would never happen.
I've noticed that there aren't that many Kazuki x Kahoko fanfictions and that really made me mad! They go so well together and personally, I think he's a great character. For all you Kazuki x Kahoko fans out there, I've written this just for you. Actully I wrote this for my cousin, but all the same, thanks for reading and please review!
