Section 8: The Truth
Hikari went to her room while Kei stayed downstairs and waited for her. When Hikari reached her room, she sighed and looked around her room. There were many posters and all of it was about beating Kei. Some says 'Beat Takishima!', 'Revenge!', and 'Die Takishima!'. She sighed again.
"I guess I have to take this off because he's here." She talked to herself, while she was taking off the posters.
Then, something caught her eye. It was a different poster, totally different from the other, it says:
TAKISHIMA KEI
- Rival -
- Best Friend -
She smiled. 'This is nice.' She thought.
"I won't take it off." Hikari said to herself as she rolled up the other posters and kept them inside her drawer.
After doing those things, she dressed into something comfortable. She wore a loose t-shirt and short 'shorts'. She was going to go downstairs but the door flew open before she can even get out of her room. It revealed her mom, dad and Kei.
"Hikari-chan! We brought Kei to your room!" Mrs. Hanazono said, enthusiastically. Hikari stared at them, confused.
"Uhm, mom, I can just treat his wound downstairs." Hikari said.
"No! It's okay if Kei stays here, so you two can have a talk." Mrs. Hanazono said. Hikari looked at them blankly.
"Talk? What should we talk about?" Hikari asked, looking at her dad and her mom, then she caught a glimpse of Kei, smirking.
'Oh no, this doesn't look good.' She thought. She laughed nervously.
"No, really dad. We don't have to talk. Everything's fine between us." Hikari said. She was holding the doorknob to prevent his dad from closing the door.
"No, Hikari stay there." Mr. Hanazono said, seriously.
This silenced Hikari, she didn't realize that her grip on the doorknob loosened. Her father saw this and then, he suddenly pushed Kei inside and closed the door. Hikari's eyes widened.
"WAHHHH!!! DAD!! HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?!?!?!" Hikari shouted, pounding and trying to open the door.
"Oh, right, Hikari, please take care of Kei tonight, he's going to sleep here. Night!" Mrs. Hanazono said. Then, they heard footsteps walking away. Hikari sighed.
"Man! What kind of parents are they?!" Hikari said. She looked around and saw Kei scanning her room.
Kei was just standing there, looking around. He saw Hikari looking at him, he looked back and smiled.
"Nice room." Kei said. Hikari looked at him and smiled back.
"Thanks!" Hikari said, completely forgetting that she was angry at her parents.
"Kind of little though." Kei said, with that Hikari frowned.
"I know, I'm poor, I'm sorry." Hikari said, turning her back on him.
Kei smiled. He continued to scan the room. 'It has a very warm feeling, just like her.' He thought. He was looking at every corner when he spotted something that was written on the wall. He slowly walked towards it.
"Takishima Kei, Rival/Best Friend." He read out loud which made Hikari look at him.
"Oh, you read it." Hikari smiled, sitting at her bed and motioning Kei to sit beside her. Kei walked towards her and sat beside her as she started treating his wound.
"Woah. Déjà vu." Kei said, remembering the time when he was treating Hikari's wound at his house. Hikari laughed.
"Yeah. We're like this at your house before right?" Hikari smiled.
"Yeah and we kis—" Kei started but he decided to stop. Hikari blushed. Kei decided to change the topic.
"Uhm..When did you write that?" Kei asked, pointing at what's written on the wall.
"Oh, I wrote the rival thing after I met you, that time when you beat me in pro-wrestling." Hikari explained.
"What about the best friend thing?" Kei asked, now looking at Hikari.
"Oh, that? I wrote it after we got along in grade school, you know, after we knew Akira and the others." Hikari smiled at Kei. Kei noticed that there's still space under the poster, he smiled.
'Here's my chance.' He thought. He continued their conversation and he tried to sound as normal as possible.
"Hey, I noticed that there's a big space underneath the 'best friend' caption. What are you planning to write there?" Kei asked, still being tended by Hikari. Hikari looked up at him and thought for a while.
"I don't know. Maybe I'll put 'Number 2!' When I finally beat you!" Hikari laughed, Kei smiled.
"Really? I think that'll take a long time. Why don't you write this instead?" Kei said as he stood up and took a pen. He walked towards the poster and wrote something.
"Huh? What're you writing?" Hikari said as she tried to look at what Kei was writing. After finishing, Kei smiled and went back to sit beside Hikari. Hikari's jaw-dropped. She was staring at the poster and she even blinked three times to be sure if what she saw was real.
"WHAT THE HECK?!" Hikari screamed.
TAKISHIMA KEI
- Rival -
- Best Friend -
- BOYFRIEND -
Hikari looked at Kei and saw him laughing. She got up and she grabbed the correction pen from her table. She was going to erase the writings when a hand stopped her and pulled her down. She ended up sitting beside Kei again. She looked at Kei, more like glaring.
"What's the meaning of that?" Hikari said, pointing at the poster and still blushing. Kei smiled.
"It's just that." Kei smiled, he took Hikari's hand and held it tight. "I love you Hikari, all these years." Kei said, seriously. Hikari stared at him for a long time.
"Oh." Hikari decided to speak. "I know what you're saying! Your 'love' means that you've been fond of me because I'm your friend right?" Hikari smiled, her innocent aura coming out of her. Kei stared at her, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"What?" Kei blurted out. "No, Hikari, it's not a friendly confession." Kei said, Hikari looked at him, confused.
"Then what is it?" Hikari asked.
"It's a love confession. A romantic feeling." Kei explained, slowly. "I LOVE YOU, Hikari." Kei said. "Should we give it a try? Dating?" Kei smiled. It almost took forever for Hikari to absorb the meaning of Kei's word and when she did..
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Hikari shouted and she stood up and walked over to the window.
"Hikari?" Kei said. Hikari looked at him, she was blushing madly and when their eyes met, she shouted again.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Hikari shouted and she jumped down the window and ran away.
"Eh?! HIKARI!!!" Kei shouted."You haven't finished treating my wound!" Kei added.
"TREAT IT YOURSELF!!!" he heard Hikari shout and she was gone.
'She jumped out the window? That was dangerous.' he thought, sweat-dropping. He went out of Hikari's room and told the Hanazono's that he was going home. They all bid him goodbye and he went home.
~The next few weeks..~
All S.A. students noticed something different.
"Is it us? We're already dating." Tadashi said, holding Akira's hand.
"So, are we the 'something different' you're talking about?" Akira asked, getting ready for her photo shoot.
No, It's not them. Well, that's right, they are different because they are dating, just to tell you a brief summary of Tadashi's confession, he gave her a big muffin decorated with hearts and pink icing, then when it opened, there was Tadashi inside it holding flowers then he said, "Akira, I love you, will you be mine?" and then, Akira punched him because of wasting muffin but she said yes.
"See? We're really different from before! The only thing that's not changed is my love for the food she makes." Tadashi joked but Akira was pissed. She punched Tadashi and smiled to everyone.
"Sorry for that, carry on with the story." Akira said as she dragged Tadashi out of the picture.
Ehem, so, back to our story. As I was saying, the S.A. students noticed something different.
"If it's not Akira and Tadashi, then is it us?" Sakura asked, hanging onto Jun.
"Ehm, Sakura-chan, why are you talking to the author? Come on, let's just get out of here." Jun smiled at Sakura. Sakura's nose bled at the sight of Jun's smile.
"Of course, Jun-kun! Anything you want! Bye!" Sakura said as she waved a hand to the readers.
Okay. That was weird, I thought Sakura is a Kokusen student, why is she here? Well, they're a happy couple, Sakura and Jun. Oh, right, Jun managed to control his inner self and now he only uses it in 'HOT' moments, if you know what I mean. So, back to MY story. There was something diff----.
"Then it IS us!" Megumi wrote on her signboard and now was waving it in front of everyone. Yahiro behind her.
"Now, now, Megumi-chan, that is not the right way to talk to the author." Yahiro said, teasing.
"Sorry." Megumi wrote. Yahiro whispered, "come on." And they walked away.
Author: OKAY! Will everyone just be in their places and let's continue with the story!? Sakura and Yahiro! Why are you here?! You shouldn't be here!
Sakura & Yahiro: Oh righhhttt..We're have to be in Kokusen. Okay, bye!
Everyone: Back to the story.. :D
Okay, back to the story. As I was saying, The S.A. students noticed something different. *looks around* good. No interruptions. On with the Story!
Kei entered the room, everyone was looking at him. He looked around the room, searching for someone.
"Do you think he's okay?" Tadashi asked.
"This has been happening these past few weeks." Ryuu said.
"He still can't get Hikari eh?." Jun continued.
Then, Kei looked at them. They were shocked and pretended to do something.
"Hey, guys, have you seen her?" Kei asked. They smiled nervously at how Kei glared at them.
"Uhmm..I think I saw her.." Tadashi said.
"Where?" Kei asked, his evil eyes shining.
"Somewhere over there." Tadashi pointed at the farther most corner of the room. Kei smiled and he clapped his hands.
"Oh man, here we go again." Akira commented, slapping her forehead slightly.
As the sound of Kei's clap echoed in the room, Hikari immediately stood up and looked around. She saw Kei looking at him, smiling. Kei was slowly walking towards her.
"Hi, Hikari." Kei smiled. Hikari stared at him and blushed.
"AHHHHHHHH!!!" Hikari shouted and she ran outside. Kei smiled evilly.
"Just the way I planned it." Kei said.
"Eh? What's happening?" Megumi wrote.
Hikari reached the gate of the school, away from the green house. Then, she heard something click. A strong wind came to her from the back and when she looked around. She was shocked to see a big tarpaulin of her smiling, and beside it were other big tarpaulins saying:
Hikari, I'm Sorry
But I'm Serious
Will you be mine? -Takishima Kei-
Hikari blushed at the things that were written. That was when all the other S.A. members went out. They, too, were shocked at what was written.
"Dude! You did all this?!" Tadashi asked Kei. Kei smiled and nodded.
Everyone's mouths were wide-open. 'Unbelievable.' They thought. Kei walked beside Hikari, Hikari just continued to stare at the tarpaulins.
"So, do you like it?" Kei asked Hikari. Hikari looked at Kei, then, she blushed.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Hikari shouted and she ran away, again. Kei was pissed again.
'Why doesn't it get to her?! I've been doing these things for the past few weeks!' Kei thought.
"And all she does is run away." Akira teased Kei. Kei glared at her and Akira continued to tease him. "Haha! Pitiful Takishima Kei, can't get the one you love?" Akira pissed him off but Kei smiled sarcastically at her.
"Oh, don't tell me that you're having a good start with Tadashi? Want me to ruin it for you? Let's see how you take it." Kei said, sarcastically.
"EH?!" Akira said as she backed off and ran away. Kei laughed evilly.
"Whoa... Note to self: Never become enemies with Takishima Kei." Tadashi wrote down on his notebook and everyone walked away.
