A/N: I just watched the Making of Kurosagi (drama) video clip with English subs. I'm so excited right now; I thought I'd write another chapter! Five more days until Kurosagi the Movie comes out; time is running out
Disclaimer: I do not own Kurosagi, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e,Nobuta wo Produce nor these characters. The ones who are responsible for these lovely creations would be Natsuhara Takeshi, Nakajo Hisaya, and Shiraiwa Gen respectively.
Chapter 9:
Just like out of a horror film Tsurara saw it out of the corner of her eye. Something had moved.
Slowly as to not make herself noticeable she turned towards the shadow. She wasn't sure if she should scream or if she should make a run for the door or what.
As she finally got a good view of the thing, she gave a sigh of relief. That was until she fully registered who it was.
Sitting on his bed in the dark was Sano.
She laughed nervously as she recalled why she hadn't wanted to see him just yet. Today was just not her day.
She leaned forwards on her chair towards him, "Ano…Sano-kun…thank you. For carrying me to the doctor's office I mean…" Still he just sat there in silence. Perhaps he was mad that he had to waste his day carrying her around?
Another thought occurred to her though. She had fainted on seeing him in their room, and just that morning he had thought she was hitting on him. Maybe he thought…her face grew warm with the thought that again she had messed up and made him think something weird.
Why did this have to happen to her? She began to feel even more awkward just sitting in the dark with him, so she began to babble.
"This morning was just a mistake of words." Hearing herself and fearing he might take that the wrong way too she hurriedly added "although I do really want to be your friend. I came here to see you do high jump you see."
It was then he finally spoke "I quit the high jump. I wasn't aware I needed your permission." With that he got up and left the room.
Tsurara was left sitting in their room alone in the dark wondering what she had done this time.
------------------------------------
Kurosaki sat in his room going over everything that just happened.
He had arrived at her door not too long ago with the thought of pretending he thought 205was his room, and had forgotten his keys. Things hadn't gone as planned though, for when he knocked on the door no one answered. He was getting slightly annoyed and was debating just picking the lock and setting up some cameras in her room; you never knew what that bastard would try with her.
She knew too much about him, so of course he would have to watch out for her, otherwise she might become a liability if Sano caught on to what he was doing. He might even try to use her as bait or who knew what. A voice in his mind prodded at him that there was more to it than that, but he pushed it aside like he'd been doing for the past few years.
The thought that that guy would watch her undress made him fist his hand, and want to gouge the guy's eyes out. Who was he to be doing anything with her. If he so much as laid a hand on her… Logically he knew she wasn't so stupid as to change in front of anyone here, seeing as she was pretending to be a boy, and the last time he checked guys didn't have what she did.
While he was debating punching the guy for even thinking about her, not that he had any proof, but still…he was sure he could make it look like an accident. He'd just say he saw a large dinosaurus-rex-bat on his face and laugh hysterically. No one ever disagreed with him, if anything they just kind of accepted he was strange and gave him wide berth.
Anyways, while he was thinking up horrific ways to disfigure Sano the door opened and Sano stared out at him with dead fish eyes.
Akira smiled at Sano and looked somewhat befuddled. "You're not Naka-chan... Saaaaaanoooo-kun! Why are you in my room??" Sano lifted an eyebrow at him, and looked like he was going to say something, but changed his mind. Sighing he said to Akira, "This is Room 205, your room is Room 203. Over there" pointing out the door not too far away. Akira looked surprised "Really?! Then why am I over here? Since I am here can I come in?" without waiting for a reply he pushed his way past Sano and entered the room.
"Saaaaaaanoooo-kun! You have lots of stuff in your room! Why are your stuff still in suitcases?" pointing to Mizuki's stuff on the floor. Sano looked at him weirdly but answered anyways, "Those are the new kid's."
"Oh, I see. She has very pretty suitcases." Akira said stroking one.
Sano choked and cleared his throat before replying. "Mizuki's a boy. Why would there be a girl at an all-boys school?"
Akira looked at him blankly before shrugging "I don't know. Maybe she's a he-she and she took the dean to court for trying to discriminate against gender, so the dean let her stay here, because she wanted to eat apples. I want apples too. Do you think she'd share with me?" Sano shook his head at the ridiculousness of that statement, but made no comment. You just didn't pick fights with a mentally handicapped person, it wasn't right.
Akira looked disappointed. "Oh, I see."
Seeing that Akira had taken his head shake as a negative, Sano quickly assured him "I'm sure he would love to share his apples with you. Unfortunately, he had a bit of an accident and I took him to the doctor's office."
Kurosaki tensed at that. What the heck did he do to her?
Perhaps he had underestimated Sano, and he had already caught on.
Trying to sound nonchalant about it, Kurosaki ask him in his Akira-fashion what happened. "Akira Shock! What happened? Did he eat an apple with worms inside? I did that once, and it made my tummy go all funny. Then Akira went bleeehhhhh all over his friend's shoes, and his friend smacked him on the head, but Akira didn't cry, because Akira's a big boy." Kurosaki smiled his big Akira-smile at that. Sano didn't even blink an eye at that one.
"No, I'm sure Mizuki didn't eat any worms, and he didn't go bleehhh all over anyone's shoes. I definitely did not smack him on the head. He merely fainted, so I took him to the doctor's to get some rest. He probably overworked himself this morning, being late and new at that. Probably too much stress for his little body." Akira simply nodded his head and made to go.
"Do you need help finding your room Akira?" Sano asked. Akira shook his head vigorously. "No, Akira's a big boy. Kon kon." He made his hand sign and left.
Walking down the hall flapping his arms up and down like a bird and flopping his head back and forth Akira grinned and sang a song to himself "Daite daite daite senorita/ tsuyoku tsuyoku tsuyoku hanasanaide/ anata no sono kuchibiru ga jirettai noyo."
He finally arrived at the doctor's office after getting stared at by 10 students, 3 professors; one of which looked rather scandalized by him singing about people holding him and lips being vexing. Mission accomplished!
Slowly he opened the door only to freeze momentarily at the scene that was revealed to him.
What the heck was the filthy doctor saying to her to make her look that way, and why was he so close to her?!
He slammed the door open so it bounced off the wall, and when the doctor looked up he looked at him sheepishly like he had accidentally opened the door with too much enthusiasm. Inside he was thinking of ways to cause the guy a very painful death, possibly by making him spend the day with that annoying friend of Yoshikawa's.
As they walked back together he couldn't find anything to talk about. He was beyond pissed that she let herself be put in that situation.
At this rate she wouldn't last very long before everyone knew she was a fraud. He wasn't sure why it bothered him. He should be glad, it meant she would no longer be getting in his way right? He barely noticed when he entered his room and left her behind.
Going to the kitchen he automatically made himself some boiled eggs and got out some senbe. From the kitchen he could hear his roommate talking with Yoshikawa, or rather attempting to hit on her. He felt something wet on his hand and looked down only to realize he had smashed one of the unboiled eggs in his hand.
Looks like he needed to take a shower, a reeeeeally long shower.
Maidoari.
A/N: Roughly the song lyrics translate into "Hold me, hold me, hold me Senorita/ Tight, tight, tight, don't let me go/ Your lips are so vexing." It was the theme song for Kurosagi and sung by Yamashita Tomohisa. I make no claims to his smexiness.
Sorry for the OOCness. I can't help what the crazy dust bunnies are doing in my head. And yes, I know this was mainly a filler chapter that had nothing to do with the actual story other than lots of green-eyed monsters and Akira-ness.
