Beautiful Lie . [ Chapter 1 : Your Dare ]

It was a sunny day and Kise felt the breeze caressing his skin as he walked to Suzaku High . It was Saturday and Kaijou's basketball team agreed to have a friendly match with Suzaku's team . Although they're not as good as Kaijou's , but it still worth it to have a match with them .

The school compound was rather quiet since it's still early in the morning . Bored , Kise decided to walk around the school . Our friendly match supposed to be at 8.30 , but I woke up earlier than usual . Suzaku , what a nice old school . He thought while walking at a random corridor .

Suddenly , Kise saw a figure in one of the rooms . It was the Art Room . Is there anybody who come to school during weekends ? Seriously ? He frowned . Just then , the figure that he saw just now disappeared .

Matte ! What the hell is that ?! He mentally cursed . Unable to defeat his suspicion , Kise walked towards the room . Bracing himself , Kise closed his eyes and swiftly slid the door opened .

Slowly , Kise opened his eyes . His heart skipped a beat as he saw nothing inside the room except for a table that was situated next to a window . What did I saw just now ? He scoffed and turned to his right .

Once again , Kise's eye widen . There were a painting that was hung at the wall . It's beautiful . I wonder who is the person who drew this . It was a painting of a scenery during the sunset . A mixture of orange , red and yellow with the combination of a faint blue really make the artwork looked real .

"Who … are you ?" a tiny voice caused Kise to look at his back .

A girl with shoulder length brown hair , probably around his age , wearing glasses with black frame , intensely looking at him with her hazel eyes . As he began to walk forward , his accidentally slipped causing him to fall .

Everything happened in a flash and now Kise found himself pinning the girl . His heart skipped a beat when he studied the girl's face . What a pretty face … He thought as he stared into the girl's hazel eyes .

"Sumimasen [ Excuse me ] , but can you please get up ?" the girl asked softly . Her voice's really soft . I can barely heard it .

"Hai , mochiron [ Yes , of course ] ." Kise stood up and offered his hand to the girl . She hesitant , but took his hand eventually .

"Etto , gomen ne [ Um , I'm sorry ] !" Kise apologised and bowed slightly .

"Daijoubu [ It's alright ] ." the girl smiled .

"I think I'll go now ." Kise said and started to walk to the exit . Suddenly , he felt a tud at the back of his shirt . He turned to the girl again .

"Why do you tug my shirt ?" Kise asked .

"Ano , your shirt …"

"My shirt ?" he raised a brow , motioning the girl to continue her sentence .

"Your shirt … was stained with the paint ." she managed to say it .

"Ah , sou da [ Ah , that's right ] !" Kise agreed upon discovering a patch of paint on his shirt . Ugh , this is the worst ! This is my favourite shirt too !

"I can help you ." she spoke .

"How ?" he asked .

"Come here . Follow me ." she said and walked towards the table .

She sat on the stool and began to arrange her oil paint . "Sit here ." was what she said when she saw Kise's questioning look . Kise frowned but he sat in front of the girl nevertheless .

"Sit up straight okay ? This going to take a few minutes ." she said and moved closer toward Kise . Then , she took her brush , along with an orange oil paint and began to paint on Kise's shirt .

Kise's heart kept on beating rapidly . He never been this close with a girl and now a girl , painting on his shirt . He swore that he could smell the scent of the girls hair . Trying to break the awkward silence , Kise muttered , "What's your name ?"

"Sanada Yukira . What about you ?" Yukira replied , not even looking at Kise .

"Ore no namae wa Kise Ryouta desu [ My name is Kise Ryouta ] . How old are you ?"

"16 . And you ?"

"16 too ." and Kise unable to continue the conversation . He bit his lips . Argh ! It tickles ! After a while , Kise felt that the tip of the brush slowly retreating from him . Is it done ?

Kise looked at the left part of his shirt . A basketball ? He looked at Yukira , who busy cleaning her brush .

"Say , can I call you Yukira ?" Kise asked , his eyes can't stop eyeing the girl's movement .

"Hai . I don't mind at all ."

"Yukira , why do you paint a basketball at my shirt ?"

"Uh , I don't know . I just painted it randomly ."

"Why did you choose yellow ?"

"Maybe this is our first time meeting each other , but from the start , I think yellow is your colour ." Yukira explained with a smile .

Kise smiled when he heard her explanation . Then he stood up and said , "I'm sorry , but I think I really got to go now ."

"No problem . I'm sorry for the incident just now ." she said bowed .

"Ah no ! It's nothing , and thanks for this !" Kise pointed to the left part of his shirt and began to walk .

.

Luckily , I managed to come here on time ! Kise thought and walked towards his team mates .

"Oii Kise ! Why are you late , huh ?!" Kaijou's Captain , Kasamatsu Yukio smacked Kise's head .

"Senpai ! Why do you hit me ?" Kise whined .

"Do you know that you're late ?!"

"Well , it's only for 3 seconds , senpai !"

"So what ?!"

"You guys ! Stop fighting will you ?" their coach , Takeuchi Genta suddenly interrupted , looking slightly irritated .

Kise and Kasamatsu obeyed their coach's order . Suddenly , Kaijou's shooting guard , Moriyama Yoshitaka joined Kise and Kasamatsu .

"Mr. Pitiful Handsome , what are you doing here ?" Kise asked .

"Uh can't I be here ? And stop calling me that Kise , before I strangle you to death !" Moriyama frowned .

"Ah , Moriyama – senpai being mean to me today !" Kise said .

"Let's make a bet !" Moriyama announced , causing all Kaijou players to surround him .

"A bet ? I want to join !" the loudest of all , Hayakawa Mitsuhiro yelled .

"Well , of course !" Moriyama nodded his head .

"So , what is it ?"

"Let's bet who will score more . Either Hayakawa or our Captain , Kasamatsu ." Moriyama announced .

"Hmm interesting …" Kasamatsu smirked .

"All of us will bet who'll score the most . Then , the loser of this bet will receive his punishment , of course !"

"What is the punishment ?" they asked altogether .

"He have to date a girl from Suzaku High !" Moriyama ended his sentence with a sly smirk .
