CHAPTER 9

"Ayana-san" Fuji started. "Shizume offered me to come in, I was waiting for her to come down." Fuji said.

"Oh! That's great. How about you stay for diner?" Ayana offered.

"It's okay. Thanks for offering but I still have to do my homework." Fuji replied.

"You can do your work here then and you can also use the shower to freshen up. Please, I really do insist." Ayana pleaded.

"Well, if you insist." Fuji said.

"Alright! I cook now. Just tell Shizume to help you with anything." She said as she went over to the kitchen.

Just as Ayana reached the kitchen Shizume came down the stairs and into the living room.

"Sorry to keep you waiting…I had to look for it in the pile of clothes in my bedroom." Shizume said giving Fuji his shirt back.

"Aa. By the way, your mother insisted on me staying for dinner." Fuji said.

"She did what?" Shizume a bit shocked.

"Invited me to stay for diner. Can I use your phone for awhile?" Fuji said.

"I heard what you said…Uh, sure the phone is over there." Shizume said pointing over to the phone.

"Thanks." Fuji said as he head towards it.

Shizume didn't really hear the conversation but she knows that Fuji was just letting his parents know he was staying over for diner. As Fuji finished with his phone call Fuji asked if he could use their bathroom.

"Sure, follow me." Shizume said as she led Fuji upstairs over to the bathroom. "I'll just get you a towel." Shizume said as she left Fuji in the bathroom.


When Shizume arrived to the bathroom, the door was already closed but not hearing the shower on yet. She knocked and Fuji replied that it's open. Shizume entered and her face flushed. She was staring at Fuji who had already gotten his shirt off.

'Oh shit. He looks so hot.' Shizume thought as he looked over Fuji.

"Are you done checking me out?" Fuji asked teasingly.

She blushed a bit more. She handed over the towel and immediately left the bathroom leaving a chuckling Fuji, who was getting ready into taking his shower.

Just as Shizume left the bathroom her mother happened to pass by.

"Well, you seem to be flushed?" Ayana said smirking.

"U-uh-"

"Something happen between you and Fuji-san?" Ayana added.

"NO!" Shizume exclaimed.

"Defensive much eh?" Ayana said amused at her daughter's actions.

At first was not able to say anything, she decided to change the subject.

"What were you doing here anyway? Weren't you cooking diner?" Shizume asked her mother.

"Well, I wanted to check on Kunimitsu. He seemed a bit different today and he's been in his room as soon as he arrived." Ayana said a bit worried.

"Is that so?" Shizume said grinning for a bit. "No worries, I'll talk to him. Just go back with your cooking." Shizume added.

"Hmm, is that so? Well, you do enjoy your time with Fuji too." Ayana said as she was smirking leaving her in the halls.

Shizume just glared at her mother who was walking away. As her mother left she headed over to Tezuka's room to 'talk' to him. Shizume was now infront of Tezuka's room.


She knocked and said, "Mitsu are you alright? Mom said you look a bit off."

Tezuka slid open the door and stared at Shizume. Shizume noticed there is something off with Tezuka.

"May I come in?" Shizume asked.

"Of course." Tezuka said as he headed over to his desk.

Shizume saw that Tezuka seemed to be doing his homework. Shizume sat over onto Tezuka's bed looking over Tezuka.

"So Mitsu, what's wrong? You can tell me." Shizume said.

All she got was no reply. So she asked something else.

"Tell me Mitsu, do you like Ashitari-sempai?" Shizume looked over Tezuka.

"Fuji told you?" Tezuka said still looking over his 'homework'.

"It doesn't matter." Shizume walked towards Tezuka's desk. "Tell me, do you like Ashitari-sempai." She asked once again.

Tezuka did not reply. "So do you? Because I'm waiting for an answer." Shizume said.

Suddenly another voice came to the conversation. "Yes Tezuka, we're waiting."

Tezuka looked over to the person who spoke. He was surprised whom he found. "Fuji? Why are you here?" Tezuka asked him.

"Syuusuke here was insisted by okaasan to stay over for diner." Shizume said casually, emphasizing on the word 'okaasan'. But Tezuka can see in her eyes, that she wanted to just strangle her mother as she said that.

"I see." Tezuka said.

"So, do you like Ashitari-chan?" Fuji asked him in a somewhat serious tone.

"Tell us, maybe we can help." Shizume added.

Tezuka sighed.

"Soo?" Shizume said.

"I…I don't know." Tezuka said in a low voice.

"What? You don't know? That can't be." Shizume said.

"She's right. You have to know." Fuji backed Shizume.

"I…" Tezuka said.

"You…" Shizume responded.

"I…I suppose I do. But after what happened I don't know what to do." Tezuka said.

"There you go! You admit. Well, I think you should first talk about it." Shizume said.

"What do we have to talk about, it was an accident." Tezuka said.

"Accident?" Fuji asked.

"Yes. She tripped and I caught her and you know." Tezuka replied.

"Well, just talk to her. Maybe you could say you're sorry on what happened and ask her out or something." Shizume said.

Tezuka just stared at her.

"We'll figure it out! We'll help you." Shizume said. "Right Fuji."

"Of course." Fuji smiled.

Just as Fuji replied they heard Ayana call out for them to go down because diner is ready.

Tezuka sighed and headed down. Not for long the two followed him down.


Diner was actually quiet. There are some few comments that Ayana would say about Shizume and Fuji. Shizume would just stare and Fuji would chuckle or just smile. Besides that it was actually quiet.

"Thank you for diner." Fuji said to Ayana.

"Come back anytime." Ayana said smiling.

"Of course. Goodnight." With that Fuji left.

Everyone headed to bed and took their rest, ready for a new day tomorrow.
