Well then, here's the next chapter for you guys:
Chapter 3
"Hey Ryuu... wanna stay here after school? You know, so that I can give you a tour of this school."
He glanced at me. "I don't really have time... I live really far away, like a two hour walk..."
I perked up. "Really? Where do you live?"
He shrugged. "You know the area around Seiyo Elementary? That's around the place I live."
My eyes widened. "I live around there too!"
His eyes widened a bit too, then turned back to normal. "It's a coincidence, then."
I nodded. "Yep. After the tour, we can walk over to your house, and then get to know you better."
He glanced at me. "Why my house?"
I looked away. "Weeell... My parents sorta don't let me have friends because they think friends will just be an obstacle."
"It must be very tiring."
I looked at him. "H-huh? What is?"
"You know... meeting your parents' standards."
I nodded slowly. "Yeah... guess you're right."
"But you know... you're lucky. Yes, parents are very bugging at times, but... you're lucky you even have parents."
"W-what do you mean by that?" I asked, confused. "Ryuu... is it that... you don't have parents?"
He looked at me, then looked away. "They abandoned me."
He must feel really lonely and sad... I thought.
You feel really bad, right? Then let's go! Chara change!
My eyes widened. Not again... you really like chara changes, don't you, Emi?
Hahaha, yes I do.
"WAHHH!" I started crying, tears forced out of my eyes. "I'M SO SORRY!" I threw my hands in the air, then wrapped them around him.
EMI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
His eyes widened and he muttered, "It's nothing anyone should be sorry for. Anyways, it's their fault that they abandoned me, not yours."
I nodded slowly, breaking off the hug and wiping my tears away. "You're very, very right. I agree with you."
"Yeah... well then, do you wanna come to my house? It's not much of a house, though..."
I nodded. "Ok, it's fine! Let's go to your house! ~LALALALA!~"
Jesus Christ, you can't do anything more embarrassing as this...
"I'm sure that we'll have a lot of fun there! I mean, we're going to your house! ~LALALALA!~"
… I take that back. Seriously, Emi?! People are gonna think I LIKE Ryuu!
"And I really, really like you, by the way! Maybe you're hard to talk to, but I bet that you'll be a really good friend!"
EMI! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME?! LET ME RETURN TO NORMAL!
Ok, then! ^_^
Thank GOD! I thought, and regained control of my body. Just as I was gonna take the statement back, his eyes widened, and then... maybe it was just my imagination, but.. I could've sworn that I saw a hint of pink on his cheeks. "Y-yea... Thanks..."
Ooohhh... I see some strong bonding between Shizuko and Ryuu! ^_^
Anyways, hope you like this chapter! ^_^
