Chapter two: A Gentleman or not?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recap:
While the two continue taunting each other they failed to notice their gym teacher approaching. Then suddenly….
"TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET"
"PA-"the two girls said.
"And what might you ladies be arguing about? Rhythmic gymnastics is a system of dance inspired by a beautiful flower nestled in the heart. If your hearts are filled with anger, the flower cannot bloom." Ms.fuyuki-sensei said in a very "passionate-tone".
"Y-yes Ms. P". The girls replied.
"Now who brought this negativity into my class?" Ms. P asked.
"Ino"
"Sakura". Both of the girls said pointing towards each other.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"… Ms. P yelled. Then hell broke lose.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Both of you---OUT!" Ms. P yelled after throwing her flute to the girl's head.
"STOP FOLLOWING ME!" Sakura said while glancing at her back, watching as Ino continue walks towards the same apartment building she is currently living.
"What am I supposed to DO? I live right next door to you!" Ino answered while waving her hands in the air like she was crazy.
"She drives me crazy" Ino thought.
"Because of you, Ms. P's ticked off at ME! This is what always happens… when I'm with you! You attract trouble like a magnet!" Sakura said while walking toward her mailbox beside the elevator. When she opened her mailbox, she saw that there is no letters again for her, empty as it was everyday.
"HEY, Sakura are you listening?" Ino asked accidentally punching the stack of boxes right beside her. Suddenly…
"CRASH-CRASH-CRASH!"
"OoF.. You're right! I'm a trouble magnet" Ino aid after removing the stacks of boxes on her.
"DON'T make fun of me!" Sakura said, having some difficulty standing up because of the boxes on her.
"Anyway, whatever idiot stacked these empty boxes here is at fault!"
"I agree so apologize."
"It wasn't me!" Ino said. Suddenly Ino felt someone grab her and pulled her up.
"Oh". The only word Sakura was able to utter while watching Ino being pulled up by a strange but gorgeous guy. After lifting Ino up, the strange guy and Sakura "accidentally" meet gazes.
"Gulp.." Beautiful sparkling green eyes met with the darkest black orbs. When both of their eyes met, Sakura felt something jump from her heart, as if she saw the most handsome man in the planet.
"PHEWWWW" Ino uttered feeling a little flushed after being lift up by the gorgeous stranger.
"Are you alright?" The stranger asked Sakura while offering his hands to help her stand up.
"Uh….SURE" After recovering from they're "little" eye contact. Still blushing Sakura took the young man's hand. When he touch the hand of the stranger they suddenly make another eye contact.
"Sorry about that. I'm the idiot that stacked those boxes… but I'll have them out of the way in a sec." The stranger said while helping Sakura to stand.
"DDDDINNNGG"
"Here's your elevator."
"Oh yeah. Thanks!!!! Ino, let's go!" Sakura said while hiding her flush face.
After getting in the elevator Ino and Sakura failed to stop staring to the cute stranger. As the elevator doors closed, Sakura noticed that the stranger glimpsed at her before shoving the boxes into the corner. Inside the elevator, the two girls still inside they're "wonderful world", thinking about the cute stranger.
"WOW! He's so HOT!" Sakura scream, a blush still adorning her beautiful face. At her side Ino was still looking at her hands where the stranger touch while helping her to stand.
"Those boxes were empty.. Meaning he's moving in here! Cool, but nice… exactly MY TYPE!" Sakura thought while clutching the elevator side for support before she faints.
"I just hope we met again…." Sakura thought.
With the stranger……
After seeing that the elevator doors are closed and he just finish arranging the boxes. He walked over the wall near the elevator and leaned in it. Then he gets his laptop inside his back. Typing something…
"tap tap tap tap tap" After few types in his laptop, he found what he was looking at.
"Just as I thought. She's the one." He said.
"Haruno Sakura"
With Sakura……
Room 702- S. Haruno.
"I'm home.." Sakura yelld after stpping inside her apartment and removing her school shoes. Noticing that it is too quite she called out her friend's name.
"Hinata?" Suddenly something white-thing flying towards her coming from her kitchen.
"POP"
"Hello! Hinata, angel-in-training, at your service!" the white-thing-flying said.
"Hi, Hinata!" Sakura said while hugging Hinata.
"Good to have you home! Because we have our next assignment…" Hinata said after giving Sakura a hug. After hearing the word Sakura suddenly backed away to the corner.
"Forget it!" "HMPH!"
"WHAT?!WHY?!" Hinata asked frankly, confused fron Sakura's sudden disapproval.
"We just pulled a job yesterday! I'm a busy high school student, in the prime of my life! I HAVE a life!" Sakura said while poking Hinata's small cheek.
"You angels have it easy! No, tests, no peer pressure…" Sakura said while removing her school vest.
"WHA---?! If I don't complete our mission, I'll never become a full-fledged angel! This isn't EASY for me!" Hinata countered.
"Okay, okay Hinata, then how about I just quit being a phantom thief?
"SAKURA!!"
"We've been at this a month already and you still don't get it" Hinata said in a very dictate- tone.
"Capturing the demons that Lucifer hid in the paintings is something only YOU can do, Sakura! You, the reincarnation of Jeanne D'Arc!" Hinata explained.
"ME, The reincarnation of Jeanne d'Arc?! Pretty nice title and it does suit me!" Sakura exclaimed while standing in a super star pose.
"For millennia, Lucifer's been plotting to seize control of the world. Finally, in the 20th century, he's found a way to weaken God's hold. By entering beautiful paintings! Any human who gas upon such a painting is captivated by its beauty enslaving their heart… and will rot from the inside out! The human heart Sakura… the wellspring of God's own existence." Hinata said.
"I know" Sakura answered sadly.
"Other humans who've tried to capture the demons got possessed themselves! That's why it has to be YOU, Sakura! You've inherited the power from your previous incarnation!" Hinata said.
"I know but I'm tired of having to deal with Ino every time we go out." Sakura sigh.
Then suddenly an idea struck Hinata…
"T-oo bba-dd youu're not inters-tted in the rrr-eeward…" Hinata stammered.
"If you completed the job successfully, I was going to grant you one wish…" Hinata added.
"UH!"
"NO, NO, NO! Of course I'll do it! I was just messing around! There is'nt anything I can't do!" Sakura yelled.
"ALL RIGHT!" Hinata exclaimed. Jumping in the air for joy.
"So where's the next job?"
"Somewhere in this town, Kakimachi……"
"ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT'S ALL YOU'VE FOUND OUT?"
"HEH HEH HEH! Yeah!" Hinata answered while scratching the back of her head.
"I thought YOU'D handle the nitty-gritty details. Then were not on for tonight. You should've said so in the first place." Sakura said angrily while opening her balcony doors.
"Kakimachi's the next town over…. Around there, I think." Sakura said while pointing in the street outside her balcony.
"Hey, our target's in our own backyard! This'll be simple!" Sakura said while laughing and standing into a super hero pose.
"Good evening!"
"G-good … Uh, Hi!" Sakura stammered, seeing that the one who greets her is the cute stranger from downstairs.
"The guy from downstairs.." Sakura thought.
"We meet again." The cute guy said while smirking at her.
"What dazzling smile. I give him a 10!!" Sakura thought. (She thought that he is smiling not smirking)
"Yes, we, uh, we seem to be neighbors!" Sakura answered happily.
"Seems so. I just moved from Nagoya."
"He seems a little different than before…. But, still, what a handsome devil!" Sakura thought.
"I like the view!" the stranger suddenly said.
"Me, too. That's one nice thing about living on the 7th floor." Sakura exclaimed enthusiastically.
"Oh, I wasn't referring to the skyline." The stranger said while pointing to Sakura's chest. Following her neighbor finger, wanting to find out what he was referring to, she saw that it was her revealed bra.
"HUH? ACK! BBBRRRAAA?!"
"AHHHHH!" She screamed while running inside her apartment, face flushed ten times redder than a tomato. (If possible).
"HEH!" The stranger smirk while watching her panicked.
"AHH! HOW HUMILIATING!"
"I'VE NEVER BEEN SO EMBARASSED!!"
"HAHHH!!" She thought.
"What is it Sakura?" Hinata asked while watching her pink haired friend.
