| Chapter 2, Trying To Confess Day 2 |

With The First Day Ending Awkwardly Well, The Second Day Tsumiki Doesn't Know What To Do Next. Yesterday Was Successful, But Today, She Thought She and Io just having a Walk Would Be Just Fine. So She'll Try it.

"Hello, Tsumiki"

"O...Oh, Hello Io..."

"Hey Tsumiki, Would You Like To Ride With Me To school Today?"

"Um...Sure...I would Like To..."

So She Hopped On Io's Bike Riding To School.

"So Um...Io..."

"Yes Tsumiki?"

"I Was Thinking That...Um..."

"Tsumiki Would Like To Go On A Walk With You Io!"

"R-Really?"

"Well, That Is another Yes...(Thanks Mayoi)"

"Yeah, She'd Like To Go On Another 'Date' With You Io (Don't Worry Tsumiki, I've Got Your Back!)"

"Well Tsumiki, When Would You Like To Meet Up? And where are we going to?"

"Well...I Was Thinking...At...Well..."

"She'll Meet You At 12:00 AM Sharp and at The New District 12 That Was Constructed."

"Yes...That's The Place"

"Alright, I'll Meet You There, Now Let's Get Going To School"

"O...Okay Io..."

So They Went To school as well.

Tsumiki's Pov (Point Of View) :

During Math Class...

"(Wow...It's The Second Time We Are Going To Go Out Again, And Thanks To Mayoi As Well, But, Where Is This 'District 12'? And What Does It Have There? I Guess...I Just Have To Wait And See...)"

"Tsumiki! Are You Listening At All?"

Scolded Kikuyu Because Tsumiki Wasn't Paying Attention To Her Study.

"A...Ah! No...I'm Sorry..."

"Well, It's Good That You Understood Your Mistake, And..."

And Then Kikuyu Approached Tsumiki's Desk.

"*Whispers* And Good Luck With You're Date With Io."

And Then She Continues Teaching The Class Room, And Tsumiki Gave A Smile To Kikuyu, As A Thank You Sign.

"(Ah, Where Am I Going With This...I Need To Concentrate On Learning As Well, Even The Teachers know...)"

"TSUMIKI!"

"A...ah Yes!"

And Then Throught The Whole Class, She Was Scolded Over And Over Again For Not Paying Attention.

Io's Pov :

During Gym Class...

"(Hmm...I Can't Believe This, I Need To Toughen My Act...How Did I Sleep On Her Lap Yesterday? But, I Really Don't Know This District 12 Thing, But I Wonder What Or Where It Is...)"

"Hey Io, What's Up With You Today? You Feeling Under The Weather?"

Asked Sakaki While Tossing Io The Basket Ball.

"No...It's Just, Tsumiki Wanted To Go On Another Date, She's Taking Me To District 12, And I'm Worried..."

(Wow, I Guess Io Isn't Always That 'Dense') Thought Sakaki While Smiling At Io.

"I'm Worried If District 12 Have Any Yakisoba Bread There..."

(Never Mind...) Sighed Sakaki Just To Hear That.

"Io, Are You Not Even Worried For Something? Or, SOMEONE Else?"

"Well I Am Worried About Something..."

(Well, At Least He Got The Point.) Sighed Sakaki In Relief.

"I Am Worried...That Mayoi Didn't Send Us Somewhere Weird..."

(Wow, You Are MORE 'Dense' Than What I Thought You Are...) Sighed Sakaki Again, This Time With An Angered Tune.

"Listen Io...I Know That You Are Dense, But Know Something, I Am Not Going To Help You Recognize It, But Here's A Hint, 'You Must See Something That Was Never Seen By Your Eyes', There, If You Don't, You're Going To Regret It."

And Then Sakaki Left...

"Something That Was Never Seen By My Eyes..."

That Hint Left The Man Thinking For Hours, And Still He Could Not Find The Answer...

"Huh...What Is The Answer? 'Something That Was Never Seen By My Eyes'...Maybe That, Sakaki Is A Ghost?! I Gotta Go See Him!"

The Boy Rushed Off To See Sakaki.

"Hey Io, Did You, Or Did You Not Find The Answer?"

"Yes, I Have The Answer..."

(Good...At Last, The Era Of 'Densed Up Io' Will End, And Soon, The Era Of 'Tsumiki x Io' Will Come!) Relieved That Io Found The Answer.

"Then What Is The Answer?"

Sakaki Asked For The Answer.

"You're A Ghost!"

Sakaki Was Shocked To Hear That, And Again, Putting His Angry Tone.

"You, You Really Are That Dense, Huh Io? Here Is My Final Hint, 'It Is Always There For You, It Will Always Be With Your Side, It Will Always Be Near You, And It Is Always Waiting For Your Answer', If You Can't Figure It Out, Even With An IQ of 250, You Will Always Be The Dumbest, Man, On Earth."

Io Was Actually Shocked On What Sakaki Just Said, But, He Still Didn't Find The Answer.

"Ugh...It Will Always Be With My Side, It Is Always Waiting For My Answer? To What? And Why?"

Io Then Stared At The Clock.

'15:00 PM'

And Then Io Remembered Something.

"Ah! How Did I Forget?!"

He Quickly Puts His Suit On And Hurries To District 12, While Asking Where It Is.

Tsumiki's Pov (11:30 AM) :

"Hey Tsumiki! I Thought You'd Be Waiting Here, So, I'll Take You To District 12! Io Will Meet You There!"

Mayoi Quickly Gave Tsumiki A Shove To Her Bike.

"Ah Mayoi... Thanks, I Actually Needed To Go There...I Have Bought Him Some Flowers, Io Likes Roses..."

Tsumiki Stared At The Roses.

"Don't You Worry Tsumiki...It'll Be Fine, He'll Meet You There And You Will Be Satisfied With The Results!"

Mayoi Encouraging Tsumiki On.

"Thanks, You Can Just Drop Me Off Here!"

"Okay Tsumiki, Good Luck!"

"Alright Mayoi...And...Thank You..."

And Then Mayoi Left.

"Wow, It Took Along Time, It's 12:15 Already, But He's Not Here Yet...I'm Sure He's Just Getting Dressed!"

Tsumiki, Actually Looking Happy And Looking Forward To Her Date Today.

Sadly...

"Gah...I'm Terribly Late, But...She Can't Still Be Waiting For Me...Right?"

Said Io While Rushing To District 12, Which It Was A Park.

"Well, At Least It's A Park, But, Seriously, She Can't Still Be Waiting For Me For Three Hours, Right?"

Io Was Near District 12.

"Why Am I Doing This? She Probably Won't Be There...It's Pointless..."

When Io Arrived Near The Park, He Could Hear Someone Crying.

"Who Is That?"

From Afar, He Saw Someone With Cat Ears, Could It Be?

"Wait...Who Is That?"

Io Approaches The Silhouette.

"It, It Is Tsumiki!"

"Io...Why Did You Do This..."

"Um...Tsumiki...I-"

Tsumiki Then Cut Her Off.

"Do You Know, I Have Been Waiting Here For Four Hours, Waiting For You To Come, And I Was Excited And Happy For Once, I Even Got You Some Flowers, I Dressed Up And Wore Perfume...But...You...You Didn't Show Up! Did You Know, My Heart Was Shattered At That Point...I Thought...I Thought...That...You...You..."

Tsumiki Said In Despair While Crying.

"I Have An Ex-"

"No! Stay away From Me...You...Just Leave Me Alone!"

"But I-"

"I...I...I Hate You!"

And Then Io's Chest Felt Pain As Tsumiki Said That To Io.

"I Don't Ever Want To See You Again! Stay Away from Me! I Hate You Io...I Hate You..."

Tsumiki Then Ran Away Leaving The Flowers And Ran While Crying.

"Wh...What Is This Feeling? My Chest Hurt So Much, I Couldn't Breathe...When She Said That..."

And Then Io Noticed A Card In The Flowers.

The Card Read :

"Io, I Want You To have These Flowers, Because You will Move Away Soon, I Wanted To Give You These, So You'll Remember Me, And All The Great Times We Had Together...I Don't Want You To Forget That, So Please, Cherish Those Memories We Had, And I Hope We Will Meet Again One Day, Soon..."

"I...I'm Sorry Tsumiki...I Have Let You Down...But...I Still Need To Know The Answer To Sakaki's Hints..."

Thus, Ending Day Two With Tsumiki Leaving Io, And Io Confused To The Hint Sakaki Gave Him, Today, Was A Fail, But What Happens Next On Day Three I Wonder?
