At last, Kyou's confession. I don't know if the confession scene is good, but I did my best for revising it.
In the visual novel, Kyou didn't confess to Tomoya when she notice Ryou and Kappei is dating, which kind of bugs me. I like to change it, but Clannad is not mine, so the only thing I can do is to imagine.
Well, please enjoy and review ^^
When I opened my eyes, I heard the bell rang. I guess the third period is already over. I saw Sunohara walking into the class. He looked depressed
"Hey Sunohara, you looked terrible" I greeted him.
"..." he grumbled
"Hey, you didn't eat anything expired this morning right?"
"Okazaki…."
"Hmmmm?"
"Why is he so cute like a girl? I can't stand it!" He shouted at me
"What?"
"I saw him after he showered, and he looks…."
"You're disgusting! Stay away from me!"
"No! It's not my fault, I'm still normal! It's his fault for having a face like a girl!"
"Go away"
"…" He sat on his chair, speechless.
After the lunch bell rings, I went out to the canteen. I wanted to avoid Sunohara since he became ridiculously abnormal. After I ate katsudon, I went to the toilet. There, I met my ridiculously abnormal best friend.
"Hey Okazaki, why did you have lunch without me?" He noticed me when he went out of the toilet."Go away"
"Are you still thinking about that? Please clear the misunderstanding right now." he begged me
"Go away, I want to go to the toilet"
"O-okay"
As I finished my business there, I went back to class. Suddenly, Kyou called my name from her own class.
"Hey Tomoya!"
"What is it Kyou?"
"Come in, I have something to talk with you."
As I went into her class, her classmates were staring at my existence. I hope this conversation won't last long.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked her
"It's about Ryou" She seems to be tensed
"What's wrong with her?"
"Last night she was so happy running around her house and jumping on her bed"
The timid and shy Fujibayashi Ryou doing things like that? Scary…..
"I asked her what happened and she said that the boy named Hiiraagi Kappei from yesterday became her boyfriend" She continued
"Well, I already know about that, Kappei told me yesterday"
"I see….I just wanted to ask you something"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Are…are you okay with Ryou having a boyfriend?"
"Doesn't even bother me, why's that?"
"Ah….nothing, just asking" She's deep in thought.
"Tomoya, What kind of person is Hiiragi-san?" She started to become emotional.
"Well, he's..."
"Where did he come from? What is his hobby? His interest? Income? Relatives? What is his family like?" She snapped.
"Ah, hey Kyou, calm down"
"How can I calm down? He might be my brother in law you know! And just thinking that Ryou has a boyfriend..boyfriend!"
"Hey Kyou…" I tried to think of what to say "Best friends, classmates, or even siblings, no matter how close they are, they always go in a different road, so just accept reality" It's not like
me being wise or anything, but I tried my best to calm her
"…." she became silenced
"You're right Tomoya, I'm sorry for being emotional" Hey, it's not like her to apologize.
"What's wrong Kyou?" I asked "Did you become lonely because your sister has a boyfriend?"
"Ah...y-yes" She said weakly
"Why don't you find a new companion? You're popular with girls, aren't you?"
"Like hell I would do that!"
"Then why don't you go and find a boyfriend, just like your sister?"
"B-Boyfriend?" She was startled hearing my advice
"What's wrong?" I asked
''Ah…that…." . She muttered something I couldn't hear, and then clenched her fist. "Hey, Tomoya…"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"A-about me having a boyfriend..."
"Yeah, what about that?" Her expression is very unusual
"I…" she seems to be hesitant at first, and then she said loudly "I wanted you to become my boyfriend!"
I almost fall from my chair. What? My mind went blank. "Are you kidding?"
"I'm serious!" she confessed "I liked you from the first time we met! But Ryou also likes you, so I decided to help her. But since she already have a boyfriend, I…." She paused for a while, and then continued "I feel that I don't need to hold this feeling anymore..."
My face became hot when she said that. So…Kyou liked me? Why did I never know anything about that? She's always with me when we're still second grade of high school, but I never think about her liking me. But... I wonder why my feelings became embarrassingly excited and happy? Well maybe that's what you call a confession…
Just then, I noticed her whole classmates are staring at us. They're talking to each other pointing at us. Even people from my class and other classes went to see what's going on. I saw Ryou blushing and Sunohara grinning. Oh crap, I forgot that we're in the class. And it's still school time, meaning that her confession have been watched by the whole school. She's very daring to confess in front of the students like that. I hold my head thinking those unnecessary things.
"Well Kyou…" I started to say. "I'm happy that you like me and of course I like to be your boyfriend, but…" I paused for a while, choosing the right word to say to her "If you're saying something like that again, please look at your surroundings first"
"Eh?" she startled. She looks around her, seeing faces of curiosity and amazement around her. Her faced blushed wildly "Ahh…I…said it..in…front…of…." her voice broke.
"UWAAAA!" She ran to the window.
I hold her hand "Hey! This is the third floor. Don't jump out of the window, that's suicide!"
She faced to me and then punched my face. "Ouch!" I fell on the floor.
"Get off me!" She ran to the door, pushing aside the students, and ran out to the corridor.
I was lying down on the floor, dumbfounded. All of the students in Kyou's class became silent, staring at me.
"Hey, what are you staring at?" I snapped. My face was blushing fiercely
And then the crowd scattered out of the classroom. I hold my head. Is this a dream? But Kyou's punch hurts a lot, so I doubt it is.
A hand was offered to me, Sunohara was there in front of me laughing "WUAHAHAHAHA, that was a great show, it was hilarious!"
"Hey, don't laugh in front of my face you idiot!"
"Don't be like that man, come on, stand up" I took his hand and stood.
"Umm...I'm sorry…about my sister…." Ryou was blushing in front of me.
"No worries, I'm used to her punch" I assured her.
"Ah…is that so? That's good to hear" She sighed.
I thought of Kyou's word, so Ryou also liked me. "So Ryou, as your sister said, did you usually liked me?"
She flustered "EH? Uhh…yeah…." Then she continued in a sad tone "Because of my egoism, onee-chan tortured herself…. I'm really are a bad sister" she's about to cry.
"The past is a past, don't think about it. You already have Kappei"
"Ah….okay…" she rubbed her eyes.
"Well Okazaki, why don't you go and chase Kyou?" Sunohara was grinning like crazy.
"I don't think that's possible Sunohara-san" Ryou answered Sunohara's question "Onee-chan went home early with an excuse of a fever."
I sighed, although Kyou is violent, she's a girl after all.
It's already after school, I was walking with Sunohara. He was still fussing about Kyou's confession.
"Hey Okazaki, how did you made Kyou confess?" He asked. Why does he like to talk about these kinds of things?
I tried to recall my memories "I advised her to go get a boyfriend, then she confessed to me that she wants me to be her boyfriend"
"I knew this will happen sooner or later..." he mumbled. He knew? Which means he already know that Kyou likes me?
"What do you mean you knew?" I became puzzled.
"I knew that Kyou liked you since she met you for the first time"
The first time? That will be… when I caught Kyou when she fell from the stairs. That's when we're juniors though.
"But she punched my face at that time" I said.
"Well, I saw her blushing when you caught her, maybe she is some kind of a tsundere character" he laughed.
"You read manga too much"
"That's what we do every night, you know." he exclaimed "Well, when it turned out that she was in the same class as you, she always glance at you in lessons."
"I don't know anything about that, why didn't you tell me?" I doubted Sunohara's explanation a bit. It's rare for him to be sharp like this.
"You two are very stubborn, so it's really hard to tell you" He answered
"Yeah, because you're an idiot"
"Don't call me an idiot, you're the same!"
"You're idiocy is on a higher level than mine though" I laughed
"Damn it! I'm gonna kill you!"
"Why don't you get a girlfriend Sunohara?" I suddenly changed the topic, so he won't kill me.
"Eh? Girlfriend?"
"Yeah, girlfriend"
"I'm still not ready for it" He holds his head in a disgustingly cool way.
"Don't act cool Sunohara, just be honest that there is no girl who wanted to be your lover." I laughed
"Of course there are, damn it! I'll show you that I'll get a girlfriend this month!" he shouted furiously
"That's the spirit my friend" I patted his back.
"Damn it, just because your popular within the girls, don't get full of yourself!"
"I won't, so don't worry" I showed him a thumbs up.
When we almost arrive at the dorm, we saw an amazing sight. Kappei and Ryou were kissing.
We hid behind the bush, afraid of being seen by them.
"They're serious aren't they?" I whispered
"Yeah" Sunohara looked dumbfounded
As they finished the kiss, Ryou waved goodbye at Kappei and walked to the bus stop.
We came out of the bush, and greeted him, pretending that nothing had happened "Yo, Kappei!"
"Eh? Tomoya-kun, Sunohara-kun" he blushed "You didn't see that right?"
"See what?" Sunohara pretended not knowing anything.
"Ah…nothing…" he flustered, and then he turned to me.
"Hey Tomoya-kun…." he suddenly talked to me
"What?"
"I heard from Ryou-chan you're dating her sister, congratulations! Uh….what's her sister's name again?"
"Fujibayashi Kyou"
"Ah, yeah, congratulations for you and Kyou-san!" he shakes my hand.
"Ah, thank you."
"Let's celebrate! I know a delicious ramen place."
"O-okay" Me and Sunohara followed him to the shopping district.
"That was tasty~" Sunohara groaned.
"Yeah, the food here has big portions, and it's pretty cheap too" I commented.
"Glad you guys like it" Kappei grinned.
"Sure" Sunohara humbly says
"Well, beside that…"
"Hmmm?"
"Would a worn out bird finding a single remaining tree, be the best happiness?"
"…" he became creepy again.
"In other words, it'll be an oasis. Finding water in a wide, wide desert. That feel soothing…"
"I'm begging you, don't look this way"
"Ryou-san….beautiful…."
"Well you're kinda well match with her"
"She's aiming to become a nurse"
"Is that so?" Sunohara mumbled
"Seeing her in a white robe makes her look really like an angel"
"Some imagination you have"
"Damn, I envy him, to brag about girlfriend…" Sunohara sobs.
"Then hurry up and find yourself girlfriend"
"It's not easy as you think!"
"Is that so?"
"Damn…I'm not like you guys!"
While we walked, Kappei was saying something "You know guys, I really liked this city."
"Why?" I asked him.
"I don't have a family, I didn't even know my own relatives." he started" But, when I'm in this city, I felt a warm feeling. I don't even feel like an outsider here, I felt people here are my family, like you, Tomoya-kun and Sunohara-kun, and also Ryou-chan and Kyou-san. I really like it here"
Me and Sunohara silenced as we listen to his story. He liked this city. I don't like this city, even if I live here.
"Ah!" he sound surprised.
"What's wrong?" Sunohara asked him.
"I forgot my bag!"
"What?" I panicked "Your important things are in there isn't it?"
"Yeah, please wait!" he ran back.
"Woah, he's pretty fast" Sunohara looked at Kappei's back
As we waited, he came back, holding his bag.
"Haaah..haaah…it was kept by the shop owner" His breathing was hard
"That's lucky for you" Sunohara grinned.
"Ah, yeah" He turned his bag, and all of his stuff inside came out.
"Uwaaa!" he shouted
"You idiot, why didn't you zip the bag?" I shouted
I collected all of his stuff, and then I saw medicines bottles and tablets
"Hey Kappei…."
"Yeah?" he's putting his things into the bag.
"Did you have any sickness? I saw lots of medicines in your bag."
"Ah, no, that's just medicines if I get sick in the middle of my journey"
"Really?" I felt unsure of him.
"Well, tomorrow I'm going to have another job interview, so let's go home"
Another job interview? "So what's wrong with today's job?" I asked
"It's embarrassing! I told them a story but they cried out of the blue, this is the first time I've been fired for only 2 hours! I hate kids!"
Yeah, and I think that they hated you too.
"What's wrong with the story?" Sunohara ask him.
"You wanted to hear it?" he started without our agreement "One day, Momotarou and his friends found a group of demons, and their readied themselves to fight." It's normal at first, I guess.
"And then SLASH! CLANG! SCRACTH! Momotarou split the demon in half and their intestines came out whirling, the crane pecked their eyeballs out as blood gushing out of their eyes, the monkey slash their skulls with his claws, slicing their brains into pieces, the dog rip their chest as he crush their hearts, they smiled while being covered in red…"
"Woah, hold it!" I interrupted him, Sunohara's face went pale because of fear "Your story is too violent, no wonder the kids cry"
"You're the same as them, Tomoya-kun" he whines
"We only giving out reality, you know"
"I hope I won't have to be a demon in my dream tonight" Sunohara shuttered out of fear, his imagination is really something.
"Well then, I'm going home, see you tomorrow" I parted with them.
"See you tomorrow Tomoya-kun!" Sunohara and Kappei went back to the dorm.
