AFTER SCHOOL (IV)

At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Ryuuji was woke up. He was startled by the sound of the alarm that woke him up. well it's been about 2 days ago, he put an alarm in his small watch. Well, in the beginning there was small watch on top of the television. But then he felt the need to put an alarm in his room. Well, since 2 days after the event of the separation of the school, he was often late especially when getting up early. Yasuko that was always went home early, not yet know of this problem. This is quite a relief. Who knows what would have happened if his mother knew about his situation now.

"Geez ... " says the man after looked to those small watch which was close to his futon. He looked at the watch at a moment, and then look towards the window.

"Geez ..., will I must wear this alarm every day ?..."

"..."

After a few moments later, he got up and then opened the door of his room. He walked toward the kitchen. The open the refrigerator, that just opened, after about 2 days ago. He saw some of the material, after that he took some of them. Today he makes the usual dishes. Not so much the "portion" to be made, perhaps more accurately, the cuisine that to be made. Today, materials that should he have already started to run out. Therefore, he could only make ordinary dishes. In fact it is not a problem for him. Considering he usually did not make food, fancy.

After made some preparations, and other things, he began to prepared for breakfast. Quite a long time, after that the food he cooked, was ready to be served. After wrapping food for Yasuko on her plate, he carried a 2 big plate to the table. After that he prepared the drink on the table and after that he began to have breakfast.

After approximately 30 minutes had passed, went back to the kitchen to washed the dining utensils. He then returned to the living room, then looked around. After that he moved on towards the place where he put a bag of shopping and some other important goods. He walked through a corridor, put up an shoes and out of his home.

While running, he noticed some shops beside him. Some, he ever visit and leave some impression on him. After about 10 minutes, he arrived at his favorite store.

After the 30 minutes have elapsed, the door of the store is open again. Blue-haired man looks already carry a lot of stuff in a bag of shopping. He then walked through the same path. While running he stopped for a moment. He saw a store, no, small tavern, where he saw a beautiful woman out of the tavern. He just smiled. the woman then comes out of the tavern followed by a man with a bag that carried on his back, but a little look old. He was probably about 40 years old.

"Hm ... looks like it was not bad ... "old blue-haired man whispered.

After that the stalls door was opened again. Seen by him, a girl who was tall enough to get out. Judging from the way the dress looks like she's going to go somewhere, it may be far enough. In front of the store she stopped. While holding small paper she looked it a moment. then put it in the pocket of her pants. She then took the phone from the pocket of the other, and look at it for a moment.

Meanwhile, Ryuuji that lastly observed the girl had almost passed the girl. The girl who lastly saw her phone then directed her face.

"Hey, Kawashima "

"Eh? oh, Takasu-kun ... "

Ryuuji that previously running,now stoped.

"you off now? "

"eh? so why? "

"Oh, so it was often, huh? "

"Eh, not really ... anyways what's the problem if I'm in this place now? "

"eh ..."

"Geez ... "

"Oh ... also seems like a lot of groceries huh? "

"O... Oh ... "

" hm ... oh ... that was true, since a year ago you're seems to be shopping a lot frequently, right ... "said Ami grinning while holding her waist with her left hand.

"Wh.. What do you mean? I've been worked on this normally... "

"oh ... Sorry ... "

"heh ... " Ryuuji murmured while smiling disappointed.

"But ... It looks like you're quite early in this morning Kawashima, do you have an event ? "

"Actually I'm not alone, it was just that the other has not yet came..."

"Oh ..."

"Oh ... Hey! "

"Ami! "

Across the street, two women waved both hands. Ryuuji turned. They both seem not someone he knew.

"Takasu-kun, sorry, I should have done first.. "

"...? "

"Bye, Takasu-kun ..."

"Oh ... Yeah. .. "after that three people, across the street, began to walk together. After a while, he turns away, then stepped back.

Ryuuji entered the house and he looked briefly at the place where he put his footwear. He saw someone's footwear he knew. After that he rushed to the living room, and saw Yasuko who was lying near the table. He then took Yasuko into her room, and laid her on the futon. After that, he closed the door slowly and walked towards the kitchen. After putting some of his shopping in the fridge and other storage areas, Ryuuji was in his room now. The atmosphere of the house looks quite deserted. For a moment, he then sat in a chair and shifted his body towards the window.

'hm ...'

'So, here it is ...'

"Even though it was only the last year, it turned out that many had changed ...'

' a lot has happened since each other took what they decided on ... '

'even Kawashima ... she too, though ...'

KRRIIIING ... KRRIIIIIING ...

Ryuuji gasped. He was somewhat pushed back. While the chair was pushed back a few moments, because it was hit by a back from Ryuuji.

"AHH ... Who is calling at times like this ...?!"

He turned to the other direction while starting to rise from his seat. After that he took the cellphone to the corner of the table,

"Hello"

Hi, Takasu-kun, how are you?

"?!"

"Hi..."

Are you OK today?

"Eh ... Oh ..."

Eh? Who is this?

"... Th-This is with me, Kushieda ... right?"

oh ... wow ... sorry ... I just ran it straight away, didn't ask for the name ... hehe ...

"..."

Oh, Takasu-kun? Are you busy ?

"?!"

"... Looks like ... I'm free ..."

Wow ... What a coincidence! I have business, can you come here?

"?!"

"Eh ... I guess ... it doesn't matter ... But what's wrong?"

Oh ... about that, let me explained later ... hehe ...

"..."

Oh, then, what if you come to Johnny's now?

"EH?!"

Because you're quite free, right here now, OK? that's it all, bye ...

Instantly the telephone was cut off.

'...'

'Wh ... What ...?'

...

"no..."

"I don't think this is so disturbing ..."

After few minutes later, he moved from his chair. After wearing appropriate clothing, he left his house.

After he passed several houses and shops, he saw a figure walking towards him, more precisely in front of him. He saw the figure, and he increasingly guessed who the figure was. After a while, he knew him. Before he could say, the figure greeted him first.

"Hey ... Takasu ... !"

"YEAH ...!"

Seeing the figure, Ryuuji smiled. That figure, none other than Kitamura Yuusaku.

"oh ... it was so coincidence..." Kitamura said as he approached Ryuuji.

"What do you mean..."

"Well ... I just came from my friend's house, and after that I returned and suddenly met you ..."

"um?"

"Well ... it was so coincidence ... this"

Taken by Kitamura, something from inside his pocket. A small paper neatly folded.

"What is this... ?"

"never mind ... this doesn't need to be saved, you just need to go to Johnny's and give it to someone ..."

"Wh ... what do you mean? Why should I ... Hey?!"

He saw Kitamura started to leave him just like that in half running.

"Sorry, but I have something to do now ... good luck, BYE ..."

"..."

"...What does it mean?"

He saw the paper that was in his palm. The guy then put it in his pocket, and continued his journey. After about five minutes, he arrived in front of Johnny's.
