IT STARTED WITH A BATH

Chapter 2

Mizuki's POV

Oh my god. He saw me. What will he do?? I just stand there, like a deer in the headlights of a car – too frightened to move. He's a few feet away from me, his mouth open like someone put a rock in it. Im scared of what he's gonna do.

Kagurazaka's POV

So Sano's not queer after all….I swallow hard, trying to shake the image of a topless Mizuki out of my head. There's a bench right next to me and I sit down on it, still attempting to process everything in my head. I peak a look at her face – she seems terrified. Of what I might do? Because I found out? I have no idea, but I can't think straight with her looking at me like this.

"So," I start, trying to find words. She looks at me pleadingly, as if trying to tell me with her eyes she doesn't want me to tell. "You're a girl. At an all boys school." Wow way to state the obvious…why can't I think around her anymore? She nodes, her eyes glued to the ground. I look at her for a minute, confused. "Why?"

"Because…" Mizuki starts. "Because he helped me when I needed help."

"But you were in America…and he was in Japan…" I say. I know I'm sounding like an idiot right now, stating the obvious not for the first time tonight, but its HER fault…she's not suppose to be a she!

Mizuki keeps looking at the floor. I get up from my position and put my finger under her chin, forcing her to look up at me. And then I notice what she's wearing – or rather, what she's not wearing. I blush slightly and say gruffly, "Wait...before you answer that, put on a shirt will ya?" She suddenly seems to realize her appearance too; it looks like in the explaining we both forgot she was still topless. She blushes bright red, and turns away from me so I can't see her front side while she puts on her bra, a vest thing, and a t-shirt. So that's how she hides her boobs…with a vest…I was wondering how she could look flat enough to pass for a boy…

After the few seconds it takes her to change she turns back around and looks down at the floor again. "So…?" I prompt her. Damn..I didn't realize how cute she was…I mean, I knew she was cute, but now that I know she's a girl…..AH! I need to stop thinking about how cute she is! She's MIZUKI…wait…does Sano know she's a girl? I wonder….

Mizuki's POV

Could I really tell him the reason I came? Could I trust him to not tell anyone? I pondered it while I looked at the floor, my thinking interrupted by his "So…?". I realized I would have to answer him sometime. It might as well be the truth. I look at him, and his eyes are full of questions. Sigh…I guess I'll have to answer them one at a time. "In America, I was pretty good at sports, but I didn't have the incentive to really do anything about it. And then I saw Sano on TV. I hadn't known anything could be as beautiful as his jumping was. At that time, I was having a tough time at school and was about to give up, but every time Sano broke a record, I found the strength to keep going. So I wanted to be with him." Then I glared at him, my temper suddenly rising. "If you tell Sano, I will kill you." I put as much menace as I could into it, trying to convey to him that even though I was a girl, I could still attempt to beat him up….or slap him again.

Kagurazaka's POV

I shook my head. "I wont tell Sano. Its none of my business if he knows why you're here but….does he know you're a girl?" She frowned. "No. I don't think so…" I smiled crookedly. Ha, he probably does…no wonder I thought he was queer…but I wonder how he found out without Mizuki knowing? But I decide not to voice my thoughts. "yeah he probably doesn't. does anyone else know?" I ask.

"um….Io does, and so does Dr. Umeda."

"the queer?" I ask, stunned.

"yeah…he found out a while ago and has been helping me ever since."

"How did he find out?" She blushes, and I arch one of my eyebrows. "well…he….." she's looking at the floor again. "Sano brought me to the doctor's office because I passed out, and Dr Umeda found out because he's gay."

"Wait…what??" I know he's gay, but how could he tell Mizuki was a girl because of that?

"Since he's gay, he can spot out boys more easily, and he knew I wasn't a boy. When he found out, I told him I wouldn't quit the school and I wanted to stay by Sano's side. He said that if I had promised him anything, he would have turned me in, but since I was so determined he would let me stay. I've been going to him for help with Sano since then. He also got me out of swimming for PE by giving me a doctors note."

"So he's been a big help has he?" Im more relaxed now, so I lean against the wall in my most comfortable pose. Mizuki nods. Hmmmm so does she like Sano? I look at her inquisitively. She looks back at me, and I smirk. "So you like Izumi do ya?" She blushes bright red, her hands close into a fist. I grin. She looks angrily at me. "Don't u dare tell Sano." Her reaction is adorable, but for some reason my chest clenches at the thought of her with Sano. I don't like Mizuki, but this feeling is bothering me….

"I know you have a lot more questions," she says. I nod in response. "But can we finish talking later? Didn't you say something about not being able to find Sano?" I suddenly remember why I was here in the first place. "Oh yeah! I was looking for him but he wasn't in your guy's room. Maybe my sister found him already?" she took my hand, pulling me out of the room. I was surprised – did she normally drag people along with her? "Come on! We have to find him!" she says.

WOOT! 2 ½ pages long….im so proud of myself! .

Come on people….you know you wanna push the little review button….it only takes a minute!

I have to decide if I want Sano to actually like Tamami, or if she should just force herself upon him. Review and tell me which you think I should do!
