Me:Okay,I won't be able to post any stories for the next two CRUCIAL Exams and so I thought of writing something a bit longer!I present to you my second pairing:Hanabusa and Rumi!

Pairing 2-Finding your own feelings~

St Marie's Academy, 12:34 am!~Girl's dormitory~Ichigo and Rumi's room~

The door to the dormitory opened,revealing some of the light,which entered the room, falling on the person's person closed the door,cautiously so not to wake up her room-mate and best friend,Amano Ichigo.

"Rumi-chan….Where were you?"said an evil voice,and a lamp flickered on,showing the facial features of the usually bubbly her look,um…what's that word?,Yeah…Scary.

"Ichigo-chan!"I can explain!"The usually and collected Katou Rumi exclaimed in a not so calm way.

"You are going to, Right now."And with Rumi scared,the lights flickered on,revealing two more faces with angry looks,Yes Vanilla,ichigo's sweet spirit and Apricot,Rumi's own sweet spirit.(Okay I don't remember clearly if there's any spirit named Apricot,if so please tell me and I'll change her name to Orange or Lemon)Apricot has a sunset orange and yellow outfit with a small beret on top of her head and a frilly outfit of that matching with Vanilla's.

"Y-You…know…no….I…mean"She began.

"It's Takuya's birthday today,I mean techinically today so I made him a cake which I'll give to him tomorrow"She blurted out.

The room's atmostphere changed from suffocating and scary to cheerful and air was filled "Ooh"s and "Ahh" just laughed nervously at gushed romantically for some time before Ichigo announced,

"Well,Rumi-chan needs her beauty sleep now,come one let's go to sleep"And with that they all climbed into the respective beds.

"Goodnight Ichigo,Vanilla and Apricot"Rumi whispered to Ichigo and already dozed off sweet spirits.

"Good night Rumi-chan!And have fun fun with Takuya-kun tomorrow!"

"Ichigo-chan!"Rumi whined.

~Next day~

Rumi looked into the mirror at her reflection,she had worn a white t-shirt,with white jeans and on that she had worn a orange ribbon-strapped top(you know thin straps)She had worn white looked…good enough.

Just then Ichigo entered the room with a huge package in the hand,she was handling it very carefully.

"Here's your cake Rumi-chan!It's really beautiful!"

"Thanks Ichigo!Green's Takuya's favourite color,so I just made it green!And where are you going?"Rumi asked,completely innocent….so innocent….little angel(Or should I say devil)Ichigo was wearing a similar dress as Rumi's except the top was pink,not orange,and she wore pink beach sandals.

"U-Um…..Mako-Kashino and I are going to the shops,some shopping,you know…"

"And-?"

"What 'And?'?"

"Where else?"Rumi persuaded her, giving her signature wink.

"T-To….thatnewwaterpark!"

"Make sure Kashino-kun pays for everything! Have fun!"Rumi teased her and giving her a wink and a thumbs-up sign, she went off to meet her beloved.

~Outside the gates of St. Marie's~

Rumi boarded the bus,just in took one of the seats in the front,and stared at front daydreaming at what Takuya would think of her ,it was a surprise,normally she would tell him before coming,but this time she didn't tell a soul about the special surprise,except for Ichigo and the sweets spirits.

~Daydream 1~

Rumi was just on the doorstep of Takuya's home which was around three blocks away from her took out the extra key she had,which Takuya had given her,so she could come to his place whenever she wanted to.

"Takuya!Happy Birthday!"Rumi barged into the house,to earn a surprised look from her beloved boyfriend and some of his friends.

"Rumi!It's so great to see you!These are my friends,Shiiro,Naoki,and know them already right?Guys!This is my girlfriend,Rumi."

"Rumi-chan!Takuya always talks about you!How nice to meet you!By the way I'm Shiiro"Said the brown-haired pointed to the boy with orange hair,"That's Kengo and that's Naoki"He said introducing them all to Rumi.

"I brought you some cake,your favourite!"

"Tiramisu?"

"Uh-huh"

"Rumi you're the best!"He said giving Rumi a one-sided bear hug.

"What are we waiting for?Let's cut the cake"

~After five minutes of unpacking and arranging~

The cake was a Tiramisu,covered in green fondant with two figurines of Rumi and Takuya surrounded by other baby animals like bunnies,and squirrels,all made marzipan and cake from the cake was cut,they all took a piece.

"Rumi-chan,This is SO Good!"Shiiro said with his mouth full of cake.

"I agree"

"Same"

They all beamed at Rumi,Takuya feeling a bit over-protective slipped his arm around her waist as casually as he could without blushing.

~After they had all gone~

"The cake was delicious,Rumi"Takuya said.

"Thanks"Rumi said fiddling with her hands and looking at the wood flooring as it were the most interesting thing on Takuya enveloped her into a half-hug and tilted her chin up with two fingers.A gasp escaped Rumi's lips.

"Thanks so much Rumi,you're the best girlfriend one could have"Takuya said,closing the distance between both of them,giving her,her first kiss,that too from her beloved Prince flew around them,they broke away and Takuya opened his mouth to speak when

HOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

"Huh!?What?"Rumi opened her eyes to meet the driver's cold one's which pointed up towards the sign saying 'Osaka'.Rumi laughed nervously and sweatdropped anime style,collected her sports bag and got off the bus.

"Here I am."She said to no one in breathed in the sweet smell of her hometown,accompanied by the smell of burning fossil fuels from was broken from her dream by a huge mess of people running through her,almost trampling her just sweatdropped at the half-successful anime scene.

She was almost skipping all the way to Takuya's house,humming at the same then saw the House.(You know what I mean right?)

She bounced up the stairs,her beautiful orange hair took out the keys,she had been given and was going to put it in the keyhole when she heard some voices.

"Girls,now come on she's not coming you guys don't need to panic!"

"But Taku-kun what if she…?"

"She won't, I guarantee that"

Then she heard loud high-pitched giggles and some laughter.No, it can't might be just watching TV show. With a character named …..he's not that-that kind of a person.Rumi consoled herself and fiddled with the key in the hand .She put it in the keyhole and opened the door opened to reveal Takuya,surrounded by four girls,all sitting a bit t-too….close to him for Rumi's liking.

"T-Takuya?"She asked almost not believing her eyes.

"Rumi!You didn't call?"He asked pushing off one of the girls in front of him.

"N-NO I didn't and I think It's the best thing I 's o-v-e-r."She said her voice cracking at some then she ran,tears streaming down her face.

~The next day~

"Did you hear what happened with Katou-chan?"A student asked in practice classes

"Did you hear about Rumi-chan?"

" was so obsessed with him"Another said

"What happened that's so bad?Hanabusa asked.

"Her boyfriend cheated on her, You didn't hear anything Hanabusa-kun?"Said Pamela, an exchange student, ignoring the looks the other girls were giving her.

Hanabusa ran towards the lake,he knew it would be the lake where she would go to.

"Rumi-chan!"He exclaimed,running towards her silhouette, sitting, the breeze blowing at her orange locks.

"Go away Rose Boy,just let me have some self-pity"

"I just wanted to tell you,he wasn't worth you!He was a la-"

"And what are you?You flirt with every girl of the school!"It hit him like a pair of was actually his Dad's wish to be happy and treat girls nicely.

"I just wanted to make girls feel ,m-my Dad d-died,my mom said I s-should behave properly with girls as m-my dad wanted me to always be a 's why I do as for,going,I'll be leaving now"He said one lone tear escaping his tone was so cold that Rumi flinched at his every word.

"Thanks,Rumi-chan"He said,as if he were spitting out venom. Rumi realized her ran upto him and hugged him from behind.

"No,Hanabusa-kun!I'm sorry!I shouldn't have reminded you of your f-father's….."

The time almost Sun was setting,making the scene orange,and lake shone in the light of the silhouettes fitted in perfect shadows were completely black,and there eyes glimmered.

"I'm s-sorry"Rumi said,on the verge of turned,hushed her and brought her into a warm,friendly drew circles on her back,making her feel more comfortable in his snuggled into his chest,enjoying his candy scent.

And from that day on,the both shared a special relationship,not of enemies,not of strangers,not just friends,but best friends.

(I know many of you must have thought the story ends here?But wait nopes,they're just it's time to take it to the next level.)

~Around 2 months after this~~~~~

"Oh, can't be happening now!"The orange head said,reading a letter which came from her was sitting in Ichigo and her dorm room.

"What is it Rumi-chan?"Ichigo asked,running the brush she was holding through her hair,making it shine.

"My Grandparents called me back to Osaka this told me to bring all of you."She said nervously.

"All of us?"the confused brunette asked.

'How do I tell her?' "Um…..Ichigo-chan…Actually I told my grandparents about you..and um….."She laughed nervously,handing the letter to her room-mate.

Dear Rumi,

We hope you are happy and in good health,we are writing to you to tell you how much we miss you.I hope you will come to meet us this weekend as you promised bring your close friends.

Rumi-chan,this is Oji-san writing,Bring that green-haired boy you wrote about in your last letter.

When she finished reading,she looked at was nervously scratching her neck and laughing.

"I-Is it Hanabusa-kun whom you wrote about?"

"Hehe….um yeah?"Her friend gave her a 'Isn't it obvious?' kind of look and elbowed her,making the bittersweet orange-head blush a sweet shade of scarlet.

"W-What?"She asked back,snapping away from her trance of blushing.

"Nothing….nothing"

"So?What do I do?"

"I'll tell Kana-chan,Andou-kun,and Kashino"Ichigo smiled that evil-smile-smirk,again.

"What about…?"

"I'm not doing everything you know….."Ichigo said winking at her now blushing shades of pink friend.

~By the lake~

Rumi put her hands on her knees and took in a few deep sounds behind him,the green-haired teen turned around.

"Rumi-chan?"He asked half-confused at the girl's sudden put up a hand,still breathing furiously,to show him that she would explain it all to the sign,he helped her sit for a while,and then started.

"So,Rumi-chan?"He asked still tending to the beautiful silvery-white roses.

"Actually,um…..what do you think about Osaka?"

"Osaka?It's a beautiful city,I dare say crowded."He laughed made her feel so lighthearted, so….free.

"Would you mind coming with me….?"She asked,hesitantly still fiddling with her 's eyes widened and gasp escaped his lips.

Rumi realized her mistake and corrected herself."My Obaa-san and Oji-san told me to bring some of my friends over!"She replied,a bit too loudly.

"Sure,I would love to meet them."He said,In Rumi's eyes he was just a playboy,who could make her heart melt who behaved well with adults and children her he was the Perfect Playboy Charming.She realized after Takuya cheated on her that she could rely on before sleeping she would thank Takuya for making her realize,making her realize that she loved him,not Takuya.

"Okay!Tomorrow be ready with Andou-kun and Kashino-kun around 8a.m.?"She asked getting up.

"Sure. We'll meet you in front of the girls dorm."He walked nearer to her, took her hand and kissed it lightly, making her heart flutter. He signaled her to stay there, while he picked up a beautiful white rose from the bunch of plants and gave it to her, muttered a 'thank you' and walked away, just looking back to wave at him.

~The next day~!In front of the girls dorm~

"I can't believe that Amano-san can be that scary,Ma-kun"

"You don't know half of it Andou"Kashino said as he sighed.

"I agree with Andou"Hanabusa interjected.

~Flashback~

Kashino was just sitting in the library,when he saw his brunette run upto him.

"Ichigo?"He asked,in an unconvinced way.

"Makoto~!"Ichigo cooed in a way which Kashino was a bit too familiar When she wanted half ran-half bounced upto him in a….er…..hyper kind of took a seat next to him,having a cheerful and sweet,bubbly aura around her which dd not have any contrast with the dark,cruek,evil and wicked aura coming from around her beloved knew he was going to lose something,money,time or worse his happened EVERY single time she wanted something from him.

"Ne,Makoto,I was thinking do you want to go to Osaka?I have heard from Rumi-chan there's a realllllly big castle there!"

"It's a palace,Ichigo" 'Don't look up,Don't look up,Don't look 't give in,Don't give in…..'

"Whatever,please?Can we go?"she asked making the distance between their faces smaller.

" have to study for our coming exams."He said in a blunt way,trying to resist her cute voice,and puppy came nearer,looking disappointed.

"D-e-v-i-l"

"Hm…."She tried making him look up.

1st try:She ruffled his hair in an affectionate way and hugged him.

Response:Nothing,just returned the hug back.

2nd try:She went away farther somewhere into the library.

Response:Nothing much,just looked back after 10 minutes and went back to his 'so-intresting- book

"Ow….."Ichigo yelped.

Nothing again.

"Okay!If you won't come with me,I'll take Hanabusa-kun"

R:Widening of eyes,and some swear words.

'Okay…last try….'

"Kashino…."Said a creepy voice.

"Oi,Ichigo that won't scare me"

"I won't talk to you ever!"

"Uh-huh go on"

'That's it'Ichigo pounded on the table with her already sweaty-fists,her hair covering her moved back in his chair,sweatdropping.

"Er…Ichigo,you know we could finish this more easily by peace?"He said using two of his fingers to make a peace sign.

"You"She pointed at him"are going to go with us to Osaka tomorrow 8a.m.,Understood?"

"Y-Yes Ichigo"

"Good"

~End of Flashback

He looked at Hanabusa and Andou who were laughing nervously,sweatdropping and moving away from him slightly.

"Kashino!Andou-kun!Hanabusa-kun!"They heard the innocent(synonym) angel's flinched and took three steps when he saw her,his jaw fell open.

Ichigo was wearing light-blue jeans with her pink converse and a top with strawberries,she had let her hair cascade down her shoulders.

On the other hand Hanabusa was already helping Rumi get her stuff out,saying her outfit would get was wearing black jeggings and a orange and black checkered top with her own orange had also left her beautiful orange hair cascade down her back.

~Osaka-~In front of Rumi's grandparents house~

"Oji-san!Oba-san!We're here!"Rumi said through the heard crashing sounds and an active-energetic looking old man came to greet her.

"Oji-san!"

"Rumi!"Surprisingly he picked Rumi off her feet and twirled her around three times,Rumi laughing hysterically all the while.

"Okay,This is Ichigo-chan,Kana-chan couldn't come,That's Kashino-kun,Andou-kun and Hanabusa-kun."

He greeted them all patiently, until he came upto Hanabusa.

"So you're Hanabusa Satsuki?"

"H-Hai"

"You all go in I need to have a word with him"

They all went in,Andou and Kashino mouthing the words best of luck"

"Rumi seems to like you a lot…"He said rounding on him checking him.

"I-Is that so,S-Sir?"To his surprise he broke into a smile and nodded.

"Call me Oji-san"He was just entering the house when Hanabusa stopped him.

"O-Oji-san Do you know about what happened betweek Takuya and Rumi-chan?"

"Sadly I do,and so I'm giving you a to me and Rumi that you're capable enough to like her"

"Hai"He said not stuttering this time.

~After they had lunch~

"Rumi,we planned a small tour for your 's upto you to decide if you want to go or not"

"Rumi,most of the places are near his house"

"I'll stay at home,Oji-san"

They divided them into groups,Obaa-san,Hanabusa and Andou and Oji-san,Kashino and Ichigo.

"Ja ne!"Rumi greeted them farewell at the door and went inside the house"

~After 20 minutes with Hanabusa's group~

"Oh no!"Obaa-san exclaimed.

"What happened Obaa-san?"Hanabusa asked his voice laced with concern.

"I forgot my asthma inhalers at home!I need them if we are going to many of these places"

"I'll bring them Obaa-san,we're already a bit too far away for all of us to go back"Andou suggested.

"Andou,let me go,I'll be back in a jiffy!"He took the keys of the house from Obaa-san and went off.(Did I mention they were walking?)

~In the house~Go back to 15 minutes instead of 20~

"There.I cleaned up the house as a surprise for them!"She said as she wiped her sweat from the back of her heard some clicking noises from the porch-side and went to check.

"T-Takuya?"She asked surprised to see him in her instantly filled her eyes.

"Why are you here you Jerk!"

"Rumi,come on now you can't say you didn't miss me"He said in a false concerned tone.

"What do you want?!"she yelled back,not willing to listen to anything he said.

"I saw your friends and grandparents going out without you so I thought I would spend some time with you,right,Rumi?"In a flash,he was too close to her and was tilting up her chin with two fingers,pushing her up the wall.

"Leave me alone!"she exclaimed but in had pinned her in suck a way that she couldn't move in any way,a smirk full of self-pride on his face ,a victorious one.

"You can't love anyone else,you loved me too much"

"I hate you!And just so you know,I love Hanabusa-kun!"She yelled a bit too heard the door click again and Hanbusa entered,his eyes were now cold and hardened and his mouth sealed into a thin line.

"So,this is your hanabusa-kun,huh?"Takuya asked,coming nearer if that was possible.

" . "Hanabusa said in an angered voice,his bangs shadowing and covering his eyes.

"What will you do?"Takuya boasted a bit.

"This."And in a second he was in front of Rumi,smirking at a now having-a-nose-bleed Takuya.

"Ow!You…!"He said wipinjg off some of the saw hanabusa clench his fists again and ran gave a small dry chuckle.

He turned around to look at Rumi,she was in a s=devastated hair was messy,there were red marks over her hands and her face was tear-streaked,not to mention her red supported her by holding onto her shoulders and taking her to sit on the sofa.

"Rumi-chan,Are you okay?"He asked, was taken aback when the said girl hugged him tightly and sobbed against him as he hushed and comforted her.

~After some silence~

"Was it true?"

"Huh?"she asked in a confused tone.

"When you said you love me was it true?"he said his bags covering his eyes in a depressed way.

"No…yes..I mean…."She made up her mine when he saw a lone crystal-like tear escape his eyes,and when he put his guard up.

" Hanabusa-kun, Aishiteru.I'm sorry for just being another fangirl to you I didn-"She was cut off by Hanabusa kissing her, put his arms around her waist as if she were the most fragile glass in the world.

"Aishiteru, "He replied.
