Title: Snow in the flowing river
"Unbelievable but Interesting"
Summary: Rukawa Kaede and Himawari Yukime debated. He wanted the black one but she insisted that he buy the blue one. What are they fighting about? The very reason why they decided to meet up that afternoon √ a cell phone.
At the bus stop...
Rukawa Kaede waited for a bus at the bus stop. He had only been standing there for a couple minutes but was already getting impatient. He had missed the bus two minutes ago and was waiting for the next one to arrive. He looked at his watch. The next bus wouldn't be here 'til the next 12 minutes.
He is supposed to meet someone in a few minutes. And apparently, he was going to be late. Why had he gone home in the first place? Oh yeah, he was sweating and was dirty from basketball practice. He didn't want to go shopping- wait, buy a cell phone with her in an uncomfortable situation (him being dirty and all). He needed to take a shower and wear clean clothes. He wanted to look nice; after all, they haven't seen each other in years (8 years to be exact). Rukawa Kaede walked towards the bench nearby and seated himself. He sighed and took his i-pod from his pocket. He turned the tiny gadget on and placed the earphones on both of his ears. If he was going to wait that long, he didn't want to do nothing and get bored. With that he closed his eyes and listened as the sound of drums and guitars filled his head.
Meanwhile...
Himawari Yukime sat on a bench at the park. '10 minutes' she thought as she looked at her wristwatch. "He's 10 minutes late! Aargh!"
She had been waiting in that park for almost 20 minutes now and was beginning to feel bored and lonely. She took her cellphone from her purse, flipped it open and dialed the landline number of the boy's house. 'Maybe he was still home' she thought.
The phone rang.
And rang.
And rang.
It kept ringing but no one picked it up. An answering machine answered her telling her to leave a message. With that she cancelled the call and returned her cellphone back to her purse.
After nearly 30 minutes later...
"Sorry I'm late," he said as he approached her. She was mad and he can tell. Her arms were crossed and she was pouting.
"We had basketball practice.." she remained silent and did not even look at him.
"I had to go home and take a shower" still, she remained silent.
"And I missed the bus..." still silent.
" ...I had to wait for the next one" still silent and not looking at him. He sighed in defeat.
"I'll buy you an ice cream..." she looked at him but he could see into her eyes that she was still mad for making her wait.
"...and I'll get you that dog you wanted." With that she smiled and grabbed his arm. "Let's go," she said, pulling him.
Aida Yayoi's POV
'What a boring Saturday afternoon,' Aida Yayoi thought.
It was only 4:00PM. She was sitting on the passenger's seat of a car. Her eyes wondered in the open window of the car. She was looking at the stores and shops that they passed by. She had just interviewed a Jr. High School tennis prodigy for the sports magazine she was working for and was now heading back to the office.
The car stopped when the lights turned red. She was getting bored. She returned her gaze back in front and stared at the traffic lights. It was still red. Then it turned green. As the car moved...that's when she saw him - Rukawa Kaede.
He was crossing the pedestrian lane and there was a girl walking beside him. She wasn't able to take a clear look at the girl's face though (the car was moving), but she seemed beautiful. She had a long jet-black hair which covered half of her back and was about a foot shorter than the black-haired boy beside her. Aida Yayoi smirked. What she just saw had made her day. Rukawa Kaede and his girlfriend. Unbelievable but interesting.
At the cellphone shop...
Rukawa Kaede and Himawari Yukime debated. He wanted the black one, but she insisted that he buy the blue one. What are they fighting about? The very reason why they decided to meet up that afternoon - a cellphone.
A few days ago, Yukime volunteered (more like insisted) to go with him and help him on the challenge that is cellphone-hunting.
"Mou...the blue one looks kawaii" she kept on insisting
"If you like it so much Yukime, then why don't you buy it?"
"Because I already have a cellphone" she answered, sticking her tongue out and showing him her cellphone which had a white casing and pink heart-shaped stickers on them. "And that's Yuki-chan!"
He sighed. But this was not a sigh of defeat. In order for him to get what he wanted and not upset the girl, he decided to buy both. Money wasn't a problem; he had lots of them - for that time being only of course.
His father gave him money for his cellphone.
His mother gave him money for his cellphone.
His grandfather (father side) gave him a large amount of money (enough to buy 5) for his cellphone.
And his other grandfather also gave him a large amount of money(enough to buy another 5) for his cellphone.
Anyway, he told the girl that he'll be using the black one and will only be using the blue one if he broke or lost the black one... IF and only if... He also told her that he'd buy her the dog he promised on the next day. He still had plenty of money, he could use the remaining budget of his cellphone (the money his grandfathers gave him) to buy the dog. That way, he doesn't have to take money from his savings, and he'd still have plenty of money left.
It was already dark when they exited the cellphone shop. Rukawa Kaede was hungry for food and hungry for sleep (he just had basketball practice the whole day! Who wouldn't get tired?)
"Where do you want to eat?" he asked her. She looked around and spotted a sushi restaurant.
"There," pointing at the sushi restaurant and they walked towards it.
Youhei Mitou's POV
Youhei Mitou could've sworn that he saw Rukawa Kaede enter the sushi restaurant...with a girl beside him. He stopped in his tracks and looked at his wristwatch. 6:49 pm. He was alone that time and is supposed to meet up with Sakuragi and the others at 7:00 o'clock. Although the Ramen house (the place where they'd meet) wasn't exactly that far, he wanted to be there early, so he continued walking. But after a few steps, he stopped. What if they were really dating? Or what if they just happened to enter the sushi bar at the same time but not know each other?
He had to find out. He crossed the lane when he saw that it was clear and entered the sushi bar. He didn't remove his cap, careful that Rukawa might see him. He seated near them and ordered something to eat (good thing Rukawa didn't seem to recognize him). He listened to their conversation and glanced at them every now and then.
"Everything you need to know is written in the user's manual."
"I know how to use a cellphone, Yukime" he sounded annoyed.
"I already saved my number and a bunch of other numbers in your phone. And I told you already it's Yuki-chan!" With that she handed a black cellphone.
"Fine, YUKI-chan. Did you save my number in your phone?" he asked.
"Hai! Now we can send messages to each other...texting is soo fun!" she smiled.
'I hate cellphones' Rukawa Kaede cursed in his mind, he was irritated. The girl just laughed at him.
Youhei Mitou smiled. He didn't even notice that his order was taken to his table. While eating, he continued to listen to their conversation which where mostly about basketball, ice cream and a disagreement on what name to give to the puppy he was going to get her.
After finishing his meal, he stood up and walked towards the door. He was still listening to their conversation and the last thing he heard (though he didn't quite hear all details now) before completely exiting the establishment was something about 'getting married'. Youhei Mitou smirked. The sight of Rukawa and his 'girlfriend' Yukime, and hearing them talk about marriage was simply unbelievable. He looked at his wristwatch, 7:30 pm. 'Oh Crap! I'm late' and he ran towards his destination.
Sunday afternoon
Yuki looked around the clothes in front of her. She was inside a boutique. Rukawa Kaede had left her there earlier to get some ice cream. She was stuck there, shopping for a pair of pants and a shirt. And today was not shopping day!
She was pissed off. She arrived late that day and upon seeing what she was wearing; Rukawa Kaede gave her a stern lecturing about decent clothings. He sounded just like father. He told her not to wear 'revealing' outfits anymore. He took her to that boutique and told her to get herself some decent clothes and that she should change into them right away.
Aw c'mon! She was wearing a blue tank top and white denim shorts (it wasn't even that short; it was only four inches above the knee!)...how can anyone call that revealing? Ugh! She tried to reason with him but all she got was an icy glare that made her follow his command. After scouring for nearly half an hour, she found a pair of cargo pants and a baby blue polo shirt. She paid for them at the counter and immediately changed into them. Wait... she looked around but he was nowhere to be found. It's been nearly 30 minutes and he still isn't back from buying ice cream? Where is he? She exited the boutique; in her hands was a paper bag which contained what she was wearing earlier. When she got outside she looked around and found him standing a few meters away from her, holding a cage. She could hear something barking from the inside. No doubt, it was a dog. She ran towards them and he opened the cage containing the furry little creature. She held it in her hands. It was a cute little shih-tzu. Right there and then, she named him 'Pikachu' because the last syllables (chu and tzu) sounded alike.
Kawaii Mari's POV
Kawaii Mari Looked at Rukawa Kaede as he entered the pet shop. ' What's he doing inside a pet shop? ' She asked in her head. She waited for him to get out of the pet shop. The doors opened and Rukawa Kaede was now holding a cage with a...dog in it?
Wait. A dog?
Rukawa Kaede was not a dog-loving type of person. He was into CATS for goodness sake! How she knew all of this? She was one of those who followed him around. She's actually seen him feeding a black stray cat.
Once again she was following him. Since he was on the other side of the road, she wouldn't get caught easily. Not that he would mind being followed around by a girl. She stopped on her tracks as he stopped walking. What she saw...it pained her and made her furious. There he was with a pretty girl (the dog must've been a gift for her). Kawaii Mari assumed that she was Rukawa's girlfriend. After having enough of what she saw, angry and on the verge of tears.
Monday
By noon, a rumor had circulated in school that Rukawa Kaede had a girlfriend. By the end of the day, most of the school's female population (and some of the guys) had been talking about it. Kawaii Mari was still furious at the whole 'Rukawa Kaede already has a girlfriend' thing while the 'I love Rukawa' fanclub sobbed at the thought that their beloved's heart was already owned by someone else. If they can't be his girlfriend, then no one can. They vowed that they will do anything to break them up. Akagi Haruko on the other hand could not believe what she was hearing from Youhei Mitou. He confirmed that the circulating rumor was true since he has actually seen Rukawa Kaede and his so-called girlfriend dating last Saturday. Haruko did not speak. She remained silent, her head looking down. She looked like she was on the verge of crying. She turned around and walked away, her two friends following her and trying to comfort her.
The following days of the week...
By Wednesday Rukawa's fan club had concluded that there was no truth behind the rumor that the oh so handsome Rukawa Kaede had a girlfriend. There was no solid evidence about her existence. They stalked...err I mean followed Rukawa for the last two days and there was no 'girlfriend' seen with him. At the end of the week, everything was back to the way it is. Rukawa's fan club was back to worshipping him and Kawaii Mari had stopped sobbing. She was able to convince herself that the girl she saw with Rukawa last Sunday was no one important to him, after all, she was the future Mrs. Rukawa Kaede...or so she hoped.- end of first chappie -
