Chapter Four


Zaizen walks down the streets with his hands behind his head sighing. He is heading towards Yukiko's house to pick her up and take her to the café. He sighs again and puts one of his hands in his pockets and pulling out his Ipod. He puts the headphones in his ear before pushing play and listening to his music, calming him down. Why does she make my blood boil? She doesn't even say anything...He closes his eyes and walks up to her house, knocking on her door. immediately, the door opens to show an older woman. Probably her mother. He thinks noticing her eyes, It's the same look Yukiko holds too. What is it? Fear? The woman looks at the male in front of her and tilts her head, waiting for him to say something.

"Oh, I'm Zaizen, Yukiko's senpai." He mumbles, taking out one of his headphones, "I was told to pick her up so she can go to the café with us." The woman nods before sending him a small smile.

"Nice to meet you, Zaizen-san. Feel free to call me Kimura." He nods once. She takes a small step back for him to enter, "I believe she's still upstairs getting dress. Would you like some tea?" He shakes his head mumbling a soft 'No thank you' before sitting on the couch and putting his headphone's back in.

After waiting ten minutes, he hears footsteps rushing down the stairs. He looks up and sees Yukiko clumsily putting her up in a pony tail. She looks different...out of her school uniform. Zaizen thinks while staring at the girl in front of him. She's wearing tight blue skinny jeans, a red v-cut shirt, and black high-top converse. Definitely something I didn't expect.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, Zaizen-senpai!" Yukiko stumbles out over her words before bowing and smiling lightly, "Shall we head towards the café now though?" She asks, tilting her head to the side. He nods once and stands up. "Bye mom!" She yells, grabbing his hand lightly and rushing out the door. Once they were outside and a few feet away from the house she let's his hand go and blushes, "Sorry about that. My mom always asks too many questions..." Zaizen shrugs and turns around, heading towards the café. After getting a few feet ahead of her he turns around, raising an eyebrow.

"Are you coming or not?" He asks her, watching as she runs over and smiles happily at him. Walking down the street with her, he let's his mind wander off. The look of her eyes changed, just what is this?! This really gets on my nerve...Ugh...Why is this even bothering me? She isn't special to me... I'm with her because Amaya is making me, not because I want too. Suddenly, he feels her hand wrap around arm, making him turn to her in confusion.

"You almost walked out in the street, Zaizen-senpai." She tells him, pointing at the flashing red hand. His eyes widen in surprise before nodding his thanks and patting her head gently.

"Thank you, Yukiko." He thanks while waiting for the walking signal.


They arrive at the café and walk in, seeing the Shitenhoji regulars and Amaya sitting at a table. Yukiko rushes past him and sits down next to Amaya smiling and chatting happily with her. Zaizen just walks over to them and sits down, shaking his head in amusement at the girl.

"We all decided to go to the movies." Amaya announces, turning her attention towards Zaizen, "You are still going to sit next to Yukiko." Zaizen sighs and shakes his head. Am I getting no choice at all? What is she doing? Trying to get me together with Yukiko?!


After the movie, Zaizen and Yukiko separated from the group, planning to head home. As they walk he notices Yukiko shivering from the cold breeze. He looks up at the sky and realizes that the sun is going down. While walking, Zaizen removes his jacket and places it over her shoulder, trying not to blush from embarrassment. He doesn't like her, nor is she someone special to him. She is his friends best friend, and he would get yelled at if she is sick. He nods once, liking that idea. Once they arrive in front of her house, she lightly takes off his jacket and holds it up to him, smiling.

"Thank you Zaizen-senpai. I hope you have a good night." Yukiko whispers, turning on her heel and walking inside. Zaizen nods and waves goodbye before walking towards his house, his mind racing with different thoughts.


Yukiko walks inside of her house and yawns, smiling gently at her mother. She walks over to her and places a kiss on her forehead before sitting down on the couch, getting ready for her mother to ask her thousands of questions.

"Where did you guys go? I thought you were only going to the café?" Her mother asks while sipping on her tea. She trusts her daughter, she's not sure if she can trust the young man that picked up her daugther though. He didn't look faithful to her. "And who was that man that you were with?" Yukiko looks up at her mother in surprise.

"Amaya-chan decided that we are all going to the movie. I believe it's because she wanted to get closer to Shirashi-senpai though." She starts crossing her arms over her chest, "As for the male who picked me up," She starts, curiously raising an eyebrow, "He is a senpai of mine who was ordered to be my body-guard, according to Amaya-chan." She rests her head on her palm before sighing, "I know, I know. He doesn't seem too caring or faithful does he? It's okay though. I find him to be very nice, and caring. When we were walking home, I started to shiver, he placed his jacket on my shoulder..." Yukiko whispers shyly before sticking her tongue out at her mother, "Sadly, I don't know if he's faithful or not. I guess I'll be able to see within time." She smiles lightly at her mother before standing up and placing a kiss on her mother's cheek and walking upstairs. She lays down in her bed while pulling the blanket over her face, slowly drifting off in her thoughts. Zaizen-senpai seems like he truly cares, or is he forced to because of Amaya-chan? She thinks before falling asleep.


I know I know, it's another short chapter, but next chapter is going to be a time skip. So, I will be able to get some cute romantic type of things in here soon! It'll be a lot easier to write this story now that I can add in couples and/or drama. Thanks for reading!
