Eiji knew two things. First, Yumi likes him…more than a friend. Second, she won't confess which means the only solution is for Eiji to confess. One problem, Eiji doesn't know how to confess.
"Oishi, do you know how to confess?" Eiji asked.
Oishi blushed "W-Well, I didn't confess to anyone but I think you have to say 'I like you so can you please go out with me' or something like that" Oishi replied.
"So…Amane-chan confessed to you" Eiji smiled.
"N-No" Oishi's blush grew a deeper shade of red.
"Nyaa, I'll go ask Fujiko" Eiji walked away to search for the tensai.
--
"Usio, I need help" Yumi complained.
"What is it?" Usio asked while pinching Yumi's cheeks.
"That hurts!" Yumi broke free of Usio's grasp.
"I wanted to ask you on how to confess" Yumi asked. Usio paused and stayed silent.
"Usio…?" Yumi looked at her friend who seemed lost.
"You're asking me this?" Usio finally spoke.
"W-Well, guys confess to you all the time!" Yumi argued.
"They confess to me, not the other way around" Usio replied.
"Oh…so…what do they say in their confessions?" Yumi asked.
Usio sighed "Each one is different like they could send you a text message, write a letter, confess to you in person, or tell a friend to confess for you. Seriously I think confessing in person is the best"
"I can agree with that" Yumi smiled
--
"Nyaa, Fujiko, tell me how to confess" Eiji asked the tensai of Seigaku.
"Hmm, you could try writing a letter" Fuji smiled.
"A letter….guess I'll give it a try" Eiji walked away to look for a pencil and paper
Tactic #1: Letter
Eiji spent as much time as it took to write the simple letter. It contained only a few words stated that he liked Yumi and wanted to ask her out. He secretly put the letter in her shoebox and waited till later.
"Eiji-kun" Yumi called out with her best friend right next to her.
Eiji tensed up. Did Yumi read the letter already? "Do you know what we're doing for P.E.?" Yumi asked with a smile. She was the same as usual.
"N-No…" Eiji said.
"Eiji-kun, are you okay? You don't seem like yourself" Yumi said.
"Yumi, I need to talk with him" Usio said. Yumi nodded and then left the two alone. Usio turned towards Eiji.
"So you have a crush on Yumi" She smirked and held out the letter that was supposed to be in Yumi's shoe locker.
"Next time, get the right locker" She handed him the note and walked away. Tactic 1 is a failure.
Tactic #2: Tell a Friend to Confess for You
Eiji got Momo's help on this. He didn't want to ask Fuji because he might say something weird. Oishi was too shy to even help in confessing. Momo offered to help him so he took the opportunity.
"Nyaa, I think she's coming" Eiji and Momo were sneaking. Eiji took off while Momo went to go have a chat with Yumi.
--
"Nyaa, so how did it go?" Eiji asked eagerly.
Momo paused "I ended up accidently confessing to her…" Momo sweat dropped.
"Nyaa, how did that happen!?" Eiji exclaimed.
"Well Yumi-chan thought that I was confessing to her but I got rejected so she's still available" Momo tried to cheer Eiji up. Tactic 2 was a failure.
Tactic #3: Confess in Person
Wouldn't it have been nice if one of the other two tactics worked? Then Eiji wouldn't have to go through the trouble of finding Yumi. It seems as though whenever he needed to see her, she wasn't there. He asked her friends where she was and went through various classrooms to find her.
He gave up and headed home.
"Kikumaru Eiji" A voice that was familiar. It was the one and only Miharu Sakamoto.
"M-Miharu-san…" He completely forgot that a month has already passed.
"It has already been a month and I got the antidote. You don't have to be a cat anymore and Yumi doesn't have to be your part time owner" Sakamoto said "you should drink it now, I don't want anybody knowing this" Sakamoto suggested.
"Nyaa, can't I be a cat for a little while longer?" Eiji asked.
"No, now drink before I force it down" Sakamoto said.
Just then, it suddenly got dark and Eiji turned into Eiji-neko. Eiji-neko dropped the antidote.
Sakamoto sighed "You have one more night. Make it worthwhile. I'll hold on to the antidote. You wouldn't want to drink this when you're in your cat form or else…you'll stay like that for the rest of your life" Sakamoto did a business smile.
Eiji-neko just meowed in agreement. This was his last night.
~Nakashima Residence~
"Mi-chan, what would you do if your crush turned into a cat at night?" Yumi asked Eiji-neko.
Eiji tensed up. Did she already find out?
"Today, I saw Sakamoto with Eiji. I remember when she made me taste test her drinks and they always had these weird effects but Sakamoto always found an antidote" Yumi turned pale.
"Nyaa…" translation: So I'm not the only one…
"I think she accidentally gave Eiji one of her drinks and he turned into a cat. But then I heard her say that it's been a month since he turned into a cat. Last month is when I found you…" Yumi stood up.
Eiji-neko was very stiff. Was she going to be mad, sad, confused, or something? He couldn't have prepared for any of it.
"Mi-chan…you're Eiji-kun, ne?" Yumi asked without the hesitation.
Eiji-neko knew it was over. Yumi had found out. The only thing he could do now was run but then wouldn't that be too suspicious? Too bad Eiji didn't know that and took off.
Yumi was faster at the moment though. She caught Eiji-neko "so it is you Eiji-kun…you should have told me, baka!" She shook Eiji-neko.
"Jeez, you're a hentai Eiji. Looking and watching when we took off our clothes! Even in the bathroom, you should have protested!" Yumi blushed as she began to complain.
"Nyaa nyaa!" translation: I can't protest because you kept on dragging me back!
"Sorry, I don't speak cat-a-ne-sion" Yumi stuck her tongue out.
"Anyway, you're staying here the whole night until I can confirm that you are actually Eiji-kun. Eiji-neko sighed; there was no way out of this…
~Next Morning~
"Wah, it's true! Mi-chan is Eiji! Eiji turned into a cat! Wah!" Yumi barley finished her sentences.
"Nyaa, gomen Yumi-chan" Eiji sweat dropped. Yumi punched the top of his head and pouted "You could have told me"
"Sakamoto told me not to tell anyone. If I did then she wouldn't give me the antidote, nyaa" Eiji explained
"Hmph, we're not friends anymore" Yumi turned her back at him and hugged her pillow.
"Nyaa? Why, I still want to be friends and I'm sorry" Eiji said.
"Still…wouldn't it be better if you're friends with anyone like your fans that you give hugs to?" Yumi blushed. Eiji stared at her and smiled.
"I already have someone that I like, nyaa" Eiji replied easily.
"W-Who is that" Yumi tried to look indifferent "Not that I care, I just want to know!" she said quickly.
"Turn around and I'll tell you" Eiji said. Yumi did as she was instructed and got an unexpected kiss from Eiji. Yes, Kikumaru Eiji kissed a girl named Nakashima Yumi.
"I'm still not going to be your friend" Yumi blushed.
"Then let's be a couple" Eiji said with a smile. Yumi smiled and was about to say something but suddenly her mother came into the room.
"Yumi breakfast is-…Yumi what are you doing in here with this boy!?"
"Uh I can explain…"
"What dishonorable things were you doing in here!?"
"I swear that nothing happened!"
"Do you want the slipper!?"
"N-No honorable mother" Yumi bowed. Eiji sweat dropped and lifted Yumi's head and suddenly had a serious look on his face "I came to her house in secret to ask her to be my girlfriend. I was going to come later and ask for the parent's approval"
"…Well since you came all this way, I guess you could but don't do anything disgraceful or else you'll get the slipper" Yumi's mom held out the horrid pink slipper.
"Hai, Nakashima-san" Eiji bowed and Yumi's mom left.
There was silence then Eiji turned around "so do you want to be a couple?' Eiji asked again with his serious face still on. She was surprised he didn't add a 'nyaa' she smiled and nodded. She gave him one more kiss. Suddenly Eiji turned into a cat again.
"What the…!?" Yumi quickly dialed Sakamoto's number.
"Sakamoto, Eiji turned into a cat!" Yumi cried.
"Hmm, I guess my antidote had a small problem. What happened?" Sakamoto asked.
"W-We k-k-kissed" Yumi blushed.
"Hmm, I guess you can't kiss your new boyfriend until I find out another antidote which should be approximately a month" Sakamoto was practically smiling evilly.
"NYAA!?" translation: ANOTHER MONTH!?
Yumi fainted. The new couple had new problems.
