To all readers:
- Yep. First time I wrote something about Wraith, so pardon if not enough stuff was written back there. I should try and make it up in the chapter for Mizuki. And after that, it's either Kaname or Tessa and the story's done. I'd like to hear what everyone wants for the next chapter after this, though I am "officially" getting some suggestions not to include Tessa, but I'll do it regardless. In this case, it seems that the Kaname/Sousuke fans may want me to do Tessa first and then Kaname for the big finale. Everyone in agreement here or what? Oh well, I can't manipulate my readers anyway, but I wish I can when they read this story. LOL! Anywho, I'll do my best on this part of the story.
Okay. All aboard for the Mizuki chapter! Have a good read and let me know if I need improvement or what.
Chapter 7: Mizuki Inaba
This takes place after the 8th episode of Full Metal Panic
Classroom, Jindai High School, Chofu, Tokyo, Japan
You're asking me about what I think about Sagara, who addresses himself as sergeant? I mean, what the hell was that about? Is he with the JSDF or something? Before my head explodes, I better recall when I first met him.
Right! I kinda met him in the boy's toilet when I saw him plunging my ex-boyfriend, Satoru Shirai, inside the toilet. As usual, I came to his aid and scolded Kaname and Sousuke for what they're doing to my beloved. But it all ended when he actually dumped me for Kaname-san's love instead. For the first time in my life, I've gotten so angry that I picked on Sousuke-san to be my boyfriend in my upcoming plan to meet with some people. My perspective on him has changed after that date that we went through. But...
I don't know where to start. He's just so weird. I'm not sure, he does look very handsome. He might have better looks thank my ex-boyfriend, but there's something about him that bothers me.
When I had the chance to speak with him in Kaname-san's apartment as part of my plan to get through the day of meeting of some of friends from my old junior high days, I suddenly began to have a major headache regarding Sousuke-san. For instance, he always talks about military-related terms and items that didn't get into me. Even when we practiced on how we would do our thing when I would see my old friends the other day, I began to have in myself if I could pull the stunt that Sagara-san was my boyfriend. Come to think of it, he seemed to be a military otaku just like Shinji.
Even though I plastered a happy face on that day, I wasn't sure if I could convince them of me and Sousuke-san. But it all changed when Sousuke kissed my on my lips.
You heard it right. ON MY LIPS!
So I did what I do best. I simply ran away. Oh god! I was so embarrassed when Mr. sergeant kissed me in front of all of them, including my old junior high friends. For a few days, I didn't speak to Sousuke about that kiss nor did I ask Kaname about what happened after I left.
But I hated him so much with all of my energy, why did my heart beat so much when Sousuke kissed me? It just felt like heaven when he... Matte! This isn't right! I'm still angry at him, not to mention with Kaname as well! I...
"Mizuki-san." Wait a second? Is he... really asking for me?
"What do you want?" I began to plaster my angry face at him in my classroom, while keeping my cheeks from getting red. Dammit! If he didn't do it...
"I was told by Kaname-san about your friends about the other day." Oh? This seems interesting, but he better get it done real quick! It's recess and I'm suppose to go to the toilet and relieve myself.
"And what about it?" I asked him in a bitter tone.
"Well..." Sousuke seemed a bit nervous in talking to me, but he was keeping his cool. I'm amazed. "Your friends Manami, Madoka and Shouko told her about how you were lonely and at that the other day. I was told they appreciated for what you went through for that strategy of yours, even though it was fake one.."
"Um, I..." Wow, I never realized that my friends saw through my fake strategy. Geez! My embarrassment meter's going up by the minute!
"To tell you the truth, Mizuki-san. I felt like I had to kiss you in order to show them that we were really a couple." I saw Sousuke reach out his left hand to me. "I sincerely apologize for whatever problems that you may had."
"No, not at all." I grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously. "There's no need to, Sousuke-san." I insisted. "Since my friends didn't mind it at all, then I guess our efforts were worth the trouble."
As I want Sousuke excuse himself and leave the classroom, I somehow smiled to myself. Of course, it meant that my perspective of him has greatly changed.
He's just not some military otaku wannabe. Well, maybe he is. But he had a heart of gold after saving my reputation from failing.
I guess I owe him a lot for what happened yesterday, even if it turned out to be a flop.
Chapter 7 END
PS - Right. Mizuki's chapter is officially done. Just Kaname and Tessa to go and we're on the home stretch. Man, I don't know if should upload that dang FMP AU story that I've planned for some time or wait. While I can do at least two stories as usual, I thought some of you guys reviewing should give an opinion as well. I'll be awaiting for your thoughts, peeps!
Oh yes, please vote if you want to see me do Kaname or Tessa for the 2nd to the last chapter of this story... That's all. I just hope that this chapter is done well though. Seemed a bit short for me since it's only a 1,000 + in words.
