Life 2

As the lesson for Japanese history goes on. I still can't stop thinking about Buchou. Is she mad?

I look at her secretly. Trying my best to not get noticed. As I look at her, she seems fine. She's listening to our Japanese history teacher.

Oh yeah I forgot that Buchou's favorite subject is Japanese History. She loves Japanese culture. Buchou is japanophile.

I remembered when Venelana-sama called us just to clean Buchou's room, and I figured out that her room is full of things from Japan. Which brought from Northern Japan and souvenirs from Kyoto trip.

She's very cute when we're disposing some of her collections. Because she's acting like a little girl at her age.

Ughh just why can't I understand Buchou's feeling?

[Because you're oblivious partner] a sudden voice inside my mind came out of nowhere

[D-draig?!. What was that?]

[what was what?] Draig questioned me

[Y-you!... Nevermind] I said while making a sigh inside my head.

[Well goodbye I feel sleepy] Draig cut of the line

[W-wait!]

[...]

'great. Draig you're so helpful'

[Partner let me just clear somethings to you] Draig came out of nowhere again.

[What?]

[You actually can't notice it but, Rias Gremory...]

[What about her?]

"MR. HYODOU!" a load shout was heard. It was sensei

*Spank*

Ouch! She just hit me with a harisen!

"Ouch!" I was rubbing my head.

"WHY AREN'T YOU PAYING ATTENTION?" sensei is on beast-mode

[Oh yes, you're in big trouble. Good luck] Draig cut of the line

'shit that dragon'

"Sorry sensei. I'll pay attention from now on" I said with a pleading tone.

"Stand up! I'll ask you a few questions"

As she started to tell me 'TONS' of questions. Somehow I manage to answer it all.

"Terrific. Next time pay attention okay?" now sensei's tone of voice is gentle

"Hai"

(Lunch break)

I'm currently resting on my table desk on our classroom. Buchou left the classroom and went to the clubroom with Akeno-san. I haven't eaten lunch yet. Even though I'm hungry, I just can't eat.

I don't wanna show my face to Buchou. I'm sure that she's not yet ready to talk to me. With her tone of voice earlier, I guess I better distance myself from her just for now.

I stood up and went outside the classroom with my bento and head up to the rooftop.

I open the door and enjoy the view. Man it's really nice here!

I open my bento and eat peacefully. I'm the one who cooked this. I don't want to add another chore for Buchou to cook my lunch everyday. I feel guilty about it.

As I swallowed the rice, I'm starting to feel a peace of mind here. It's really nice to be alone. But sometimes it's sad.

I started to think again. Should I show my face to Buchou now? What if she doesn't wanna talk to me?

If you heard Buchou's voice earlier, it's mixed with emotions and desperation.

*Gulp*

I-I need to see her, I-I need to be a man!. Make yourself Hyodou Ise!

As I finished my lunch and put back my Bento from the room, I decided to head back to the clubroom.

(Front door of the club room)

My heart is beating fast!. I was about to open the door when I felt some strange feeling inside me

'shit'

I really feel nervous. Should I go back?

No! I'm here so there's no turning back!

Opened the door and saw everyone.

"Sorry if I'm late. I had some other things to take care of" I said with an apology tone

"Ara Ara it's time for you to show up. I'll make you red tea" As Akeno-san started to make me tea.

I turn my gaze to Buchou she's looking at me piercingly on the eye

S-She's mad?

"Ise where were you?" Buchou said that with a calm voice but deep inside,she's mad. REALLY mad.

"Huh?" I asked. I'm so scared really. My heart is beating fast as it is.

'what is this feeling?'

"Where were you?!" this time, Buchou raised her voice.

I was shocked. Why is she like this?

"I-I-I"

Damn it! I can't answer her!

*SLAP*

She approached me and then slap me on the face. My face is red now.

"Ouch Buchou that really hurts!" I said while touching my face where she slap it

Buchou seemed to be shocked for what she did. She finally snaps back from reality

"Ise I'm so-"

Before she could finish her apology, I walked away from her. I don't know I just need to get away! Why am I feeling like this?!

(Hyodou residents)

I'm currently on the guest room. That slap still hurts.

Ugh dammit! Why can't I understand a maiden's heart!?

I threw myself on the bed and make myself at peace. Trying to calm myself down.

*Ringgggggg*

My phone rings. I lazily get my phone from the side bed table.

Unregistered number? Who is this?

"Hello"?

"Iseeee- Kun!" ughh I feel deaf. Because someone shout.

Huh? It's a woman's voice

"hello? Who are you?"

"How mean! It's me Irina!"

Irina?

"Oh hey Irina!. It's been a long time!"

"Mou Ise-kun, you forgot my voice already!"

"haha it's been years I'm sorry"

"That's fine. Anyway can you meet me tomorrow?"

"Where?"

"at the airport. I want you to escort me"

"sure what time?"

"7:00 in the morning"

"Ohhh okay with me"

"Yesss can't wait to see my grown up childhood friend!"

"Haha sure sure"

"Hey I got some lot of things to do Ise-kun"

"Sure bye"

"Bye"

She then hunged up.

'Escort huh'?

(early morning)

I woke up from the guest room. I didn't slept inside my room. I wanna say sorry to Buchou. But I can't right now. I'm lacking courage.

As I entered my room I saw Asia and Buchou sleeping peacefully. My heart started to beat fast again.

I went to my closet and got some clothes. I then look at the two bishoujos sleeping on my bed. Good they're still sleeping.

I approached Buchou who's sleeping soundly.

*Suu~ suu~*

"I'm sorry Buchou. I shouldn't had walked out"

I look at her.

"..."

She's still sleeping.

I gotta do this! Well she doesn't know it anyway

I lowered myself down to reach Buchou's level. I can now feel her hot breath.

I drew my face near.

...

...

...

...

My lips met Buchou's forehead.

I kissed her while blushing.

I smell something sweet. It's Buchou's crimson hair.

I then parted away but not so far.

Beacause of Buchou's hair. It's smell good and when I look down, her red soft lips are attracting me!

*Gulp*

I can't stop myself. Her lips are pulling me closer

I can feel Buchou's breath. It's alluring me.

Three inches more and my lips will meet hers.

'shit I shouldn't do this'

'Buchou'...

As I was about to kiss Buchou, my phone vibrates. Someone texted me. Irina?

'Ise-kun where are you?" the plane just got landed on Japan.

Shit I forgot about Irina!

On the way!

I replied back

I look at Buchou she's still sleeping.

As I look at her I gave her a warm smile then I left the room

I almost did it though.

One step closer..
