A/N: Hey~! Sorry for being late. Honestly, I'm idling around the house doing nothing but listen to music, watch TV, read others' fanfics and totally NOT updating or writing one! Ah! I'm such a lazy person. Maybe I should change my profile pic so I can totally wake up – it's still in hibernating mode.
So yeah – I skipped a two whole month – I'm so sorry for being late and lazy. XD Can't help it! I'm a Bunny + Bear sort of person. Cute and lazy LMAO.
Now presenting Chapter 7 – Return to the Past pt. 1 – the truth shall be revealed.
PS. In all of my OC's in this story, Shiro-kun's my favourite!
Ken, Takeru's cousin
"Ken…you promised me you would never tell!"
"Takeru! How dare you kiss me all of a sudden!"
"I feel guilty, should I tell the truth?"
"Ritsu wait! I'm sorry!"
"Liars…and I thought you were friends."
.
.
.
"Ken…" Mio whispered.
"Mio-chan! It's been what? Five years?" Ken gave Mio a pat on the head, smiling tenderly at her. And she could do was stare at him wide-eyed.
"Ken~! Did you buy food? Where is it? Where?" Shiro jumped around Ken and Mio.
"Yup! Here."
"Oooh~! Chocolate! Want some Mio-chan?" he fed her a ball of chocolate which she hesitantly took.
"It's sweet right?" Shiro looked down at her, eyes suddenly turned evil.
'One second he was all Loli-shota like and now his all vampirish!' Mio thought, fear entrapped her heart with Shiro still feeding her chocoballs, while smiling deceitfully.
"Ken." The said person turned his gaze to Takeru.
"Outside." And both went out of the room, making Mio awkwardly munching more chocoballs from the still smiling Shiro. His smile turned into more of a smirk now.
"More~?" He cutely asked.
"N-no thanks…" she gave him a hand gesture indicating an 'X' – no more please.
"Say ah~" he forcefully shoved two more chocoballs on Mio's mouth, and another, and another and another one!
"Hey Shiro?" Kyo asked him.
"Hm?" Shiro glanced at Kyo cutely, shoving another one chocoball to Mio.
"I think Mio's gonna throw up or something."
"I don't think so." He shoved another chocoball to her now full mouth, cheeks puffed out, arms flailing around.
"Mmmmff! Mmmpphh!"
"Here's another one Mio~!"
"Mmmpph – ack!" and she choked.
"Shit Shiro! She's choking!"
"Aw~ I thought she'll go fat instead of choking…" he pouted and then smirked.
'This girl, I wonder if her patience is worth it.'
Takeru's P.O.V.
I knew it. I should've not brought Mio here! Shit. Why did he have to show up now? Why now?! I felt myself clenched my fists tight, my teeth grinding against each other. I'm fuming because of Ken. It's his fault! Everything is his fault! Damn it!
"Takeru?"
"What?!" I turned to a stop, my eyes boring into his brown golden eyes.
"If it's about the past I don't want to talk about it." He said to me, I know he hates talking about it. I know his guilty. But really, I don't want her to break my bones again. Girls are scary sometimes.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why don't you wanna talk about it?"
"Cause its useless. Besides, I've moved on, you should too." He started walking away from me but I grabbed his arm.
"Ken. I think you should go and see her. She's – "
"I don't care!" he harshly pulled his arm back. "She's … just someone from the past." He mumbled and walked away.
"Ken, Gomen…" I pitied him, but my patience is running low. "…but you really have to see her."
I looked up at his retreating form. I just hope I could change his decision.
"Mio." I sighed "I promise you I won't break our deal."
Flashback
"Ritsuuuu~! Waaiiit uuup!" ten year old Mio yelled out to a running Ritsu just two meters before her.
"Hayakuuu! We're gonna be – Whoa!" she slipped and fell on her bottom when she took a glance at Mio, who immediately came to Ritsu's side.
"Ristu!" she shrieked, kneeling over her friend still lying down the pavement, people whispering about.
"Ugh, my head…" Ritsu grabbed her head, the ache won't go away.
"Oh no! Let's get you to the clinic! Hurry, get up!" Mio helped Ritsu up and went directly to the schools clinic, not caring if they were pretty late. Grabbing Ritsu's left arm and slinging it to over her shoulders as they slowly walked to their destination.
"Sumimasen!" Mio slid the door open "My friend slipped and hurt herself."
"Oh dear! Bring her here please." The school nurse immediately toke action. "Just lay her over here."
"I think she hit her head. She said it ached."
"Don't worry. I'll take care of her. You can go back to your class now. I'll inform her parents soon." She smiled at the younger girl, ensuring her that her friend's in good health.
"U-un! Arigatou!" she bowed and left.
Alone walking in the empty hallway, Mio couldn't help but get scared from hearing footsteps walking behind her. She started trembling. Slowly, and shaking, she bravely turned around only to find –
"Eh?"
O.O
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" she shrieked as she pointed an accusing finger to the startled blondie.
"Wow! That's the first time I saw you acting brave." Takeru commented and then clapped his hands "Bravo! Congratulations Mio~"
"Takeru no Baka!" she screamed at him, red-faced, causing a passing by teacher to notice them.
"What are you two still doing here? Shouldn't you be in your classrooms?"
"G-Gomenasai, Midori-sensei! I helped a friend to the clinic, she slipped and hurt herself." Mio kept bowing.
"Gomen, but I'm a transferee so…" Takeru scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Okay, okay Akiyama-san. You can stop bowing now, you're not going to be in trouble. Both of you won't be. Come, I'll take you to your classrooms myself so I could tell them why you were late." Midori then started leading the way.
"By the way, what are your classes?" she glanced behind them.
"Ano, I'm in Class 2-B." Mio answered.
"Me too."
"Eh?! You are?"
"Yep! Just got transferred from my previous schools and we also moved to a new neighbourhood." He then turned to me and smirked. "Guess which neighbourhood is it~"
"No way! You're the new neighbour three blocks from our house?!" Takeru just laughed at her.
"No screaming you two." Their teacher scolded them.
"Gomenasai." They said together.
"By the way Mio," Takeru whispered, moving closer to Mio, which made her move away a little whilst blushing. "Wh-what is it?"
"Can we walk home together, later after school? I just got something to tell you."
'He'll walk me home?' she mused.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Something you should know." He winked and moved away, just in time for Midori-sensei to knock on Class 2-B's door. It slid open and came the face of their new homeroom teacher.
"Good morning Shimura-sensei. I think these are your students." Midori-sensei explained everything and then left the two in Shimura's care.
"Please get inside you two. Oh! And Shimizuki-san, please introduce yourself to the class."
"Hai~!"
Ritsu's POV
"Owiee~!" I held my slightly throbbing head, where am I now? Oh no! School! I sat up straight and looked around me. I'm at the school clinic. Mio must've brought me here. Where's the nurse. Oh a note!
"Dear Tainaka-san, I'm off to fetch your mother near the gates. Please behave and stay in your bed."
I read out loud. Yeah, right! Why is it that everyone thinks I'm troublesome? =_=
SLIDE
"Excuse me. Is this class 2-B?"
Stare.
Long silence.
"Uh – sorry. I'm kinda lost."
"Wait…You're familiar. Where have I seen you before? Oh! Shi-shimi? Shima? Shimasaki?" I tried to recall his name.
"It's Shimizuki actually, drummer." He smiled boyishly.
"Right. Gosh, you still remember me huh?"
"Yep! Why is your head in bandages?" he pointed a finger to my head.
"I slipped and fell." I simply shrugged.
"Oh."
Silence again.
"Well, I think I gotta go. Classes are starting and I'm late, terribly." He laughed drily.
"What room are you in?" I asked him, he is lost you know.
"It's Class 2-B."
I gave him directions and he bid goodbye. That was definitely the guy Mio liked! I must tease her when I'll see her! Mwahahaha! I gave out an evil laugh inside the empty clinic.
SLIDE
The door suddenly opened with a BANG!
"Ritsu! Oh my Ritsu! What happened to you? How could you be so clumsy on the first day of school?! And you simply slipped and now you're all bounded up! Blah, blah, blah…"
And so, mom kept nagging. I think my ears are bleeding.
"Mom~!" I whined "I'm fine alright, at least it wasn't that serious." I tried to calm her, she's such a nerve-wrecked.
"Fine. Let's go home so you could rest."
On the way home all I did was sleep. And then when I woke up at two in the afternoon, I was already in bed! Did I sleep walk or did Dad carry me here. Must be both.
I shrugged off my blanket and went down stairs. Food was all over the place and both mom and dad were watching TV – well, now they're asleep, too.
I ate my food and then quickly – and quietly – sneak out of the house.
"Oh yeah! I'm free~! Ow!" As I was shouting 'free~' something hit my arm. Good thing it wasn't my head this time.
"Ite!" I said rubbing my stinging arm.
"Sorry! Could you please pass back the ball?" I look around me for the owner's voice, and when I did found him. It was that Shimizuki guy! He lives here now?!
"You're that Shimizuki guy!"
"Oh! Drummer!"
"It's Ritsu actually." I picked up the ball and threw it in the air a couple of times.
"Sorry, my bad. I can't remember names that much, but I remember your face though." He scratched his chin.
"It's fine. Here, catch!" I threw him the ball and he caught it while jumping in the air.
Okay, I admit. He looked cool doing that! His height and posture really made him look amazingly handsome! .
"Wanna play catch?" he said all of a sudden, stopping me from side-tracking.
"Oh-uh, sure!" I beamed at him.
And so, we played for a few hours until mom came and ruined the um – moment.
"Sorry, mom's calling me. Gotta go."
"Sure, let's do this tomorrow again then." He smiled, and it enchanted me.
"R-right…" that was the first time I stuttered and blushed in front of a guy.
"RITSU!"
"C-coming mom!" I shouted back.
He laughed suddenly.
"What's so funny?" I raised a brow.
"Nothing, just imagining how your mom would kill you."
"I know. Anyway I gotta go."
"Yeah, bye!"
As I walked to our house's porch, he called me again.
"Hey Ritsu!"
I turned around and saw him smile.
"It's Kentaro Shimizuki!"
I smiled at him and laughed, he looked so messy – wouldn't his mom kill him instead?
"I'll keep that in mind!" I shouted back and then he walked away. He, just made my day.
END OF FLASHBACK_Next chapter would include all past events.
Ken's POV
I know I did something wrong to her. But it's not my fault entirely – it's theirs also. If only they told her earlier she wouldn't be like that.
Darn, life is so complicated when you're in love.
Maybe, should I visit her then?
Maybe she should know then…
That I still love her – despite me having a girlfriend, a lot of them.
Back to the choking Mio
"Mio! Let's get you home. It's al – What the HECK?! What happened?!" Takeru shouted when he caught the sight of a passed out Mio while Shiro was innocently poking her a stick.
"Is she dead yet?" he asked Aiji, who was hugging the chocoballs protectively.
"What kind of question is that, aho! You tryin' to kill her?!" Takeru screamed in response instead, grabing a hold of Mio's tiny frame – he slapped her softly on the cheeks.
"I thought she liked chocoballs?" Shiro simply cocked his head to the side.
"Baka! How many did you think you've fed her?!" screamed Aiji, crushing the box of chocoballs.
"Seriously Takeru! Shiro's insane! Call the mental hospital quickly!"
"Wait! Mio's not breathing! Shit!"
"Oh! Oh! Let me do CPR!"
"Shiro! That's my job!"
"Call the Mental hurry!"
And Mio was brought home – still alive.
