"Alright harima it's very important that you're at the shrine at 6pm. Tenma should be there at 7pm with yakumo." Mikoto says. "I haft to wait an hour! Why so early?" harima asked. Mikoto took a drink of her tea before saying anything. "With the luck we're having it's just a safety check. And remember to control yourself! Don't tell her about your feelings! Save it for the ball ok!" Mikoto said. "Yeah yeah I know, I'll be there at 6pm." With that they both finished there drinks. "Don't worry about it too much. She'll say yes I know it." Mikoto pats him on the back. Harima smiles "thanks again for all your help Mikoto!" he said. "awww don't go all soft on me now harima haha!" she laugh.
Tsukamoto house
Yakumo knew what she needed to do, it wouldn't be too hard. Tenma was in the living watching TV. "Tenma I'm going for a walk to the shrine, you should come along." She said. Tenma looks at yakumo "ummm ok." She got up. Yakumo then noticed something was wrong with her. "Tenma what's wrong?" she asks. Tenma looks down "I'm confused…That's all, maybe a walk will help." She said. Yakumo had a bad feeling about this now. The last time tenma was like this it had to do with harima.
Yagami Shrine
Harima was already at the shrine with mikoto. "Ok just be yourself and you should be fine. Yakumo just send me a text, there ten minutes away. So good luck! I'll be watching from the bushes." With that mikoto left. Harima stood there in the clearing of the shrine. There were some clouds that threaten rain soon. Harima dress well for this meeting, a black leather jacket, nice black jeans, and his hair in the same style.
Just then he looked to see tenma walking up the stairs to his position. Tenma saw him and turned very red. It looked as if she wanted to run away. But thanks to yakumo she went forward. Until they both were standing about ten feet apart. Tenma's redness was impossible to hide; Harima smiled "hey tenma…" he says. "h-hey what's up?" she barely made out. "Did you enjoy your birthday?" he asked. Tenma thought back, she did have a good time. But that night tenma overheard harima declare his love for her. That part was burned into tenma's brain, was it a good thing or bad? That question ate at tenma ever since that night.
"Yeah…it was…full of surprises…" she said. Harima thought it was going well "I wanted to ask you something….something I've wanted to ask you for a while." He said. Tenma felt her heart start to race. She knew he was going to declare his love to her now! "No not now! I don't have answers!" she thought, starting to panic. "I haft to get out of here!"
"I'm sorry…"
Tenma turns and runs away down the stairs. Yakumo comes out of the trees, she looks at harima with a "What happened?" look. Then she went after tenma. Mikoto then came out "what the hell happened?" she yelled. "I don't know! I was about to ask her but she just said I'm sorry and ran." He said. Mikoto took out her cell phone and texted yakumo asking what happened. "Well think back! There has to be something we missed!" mikoto said. They both thought for a good while. "No clue!" harima said. Mikoto did a faceplant on her palm. "Ok…You sit tight; I'll work it out with yakumo. So plan on going to the ball." Mikoto said pulling out her phone again. Yakumo had text back:
"No idea why she ran, But don't worry…I might know why…just give me some time."
Mikoto said her good bye and left harima "ok…" harima didn't want to go through this again. With only days left this is the worst thing that could happened. But the thing that kills him is he has no idea what he did! Then harima's phone started ringing. It was Akira "whats up?" he answered. "Come to the school and help us finish the set up…Plus we need to talk about the current situation." After saying that she hung up. Harima went back to his motorcycle and rode off to school.
Upon reaching the school harima saw a red carpet laid out leading to the gym. He walked down the carpet which led into a icy tunnel which looked nice. When he reaches the end there was a bright flash that blinded him "Ah! What the…" he looked to see a camera. "Oh sorry harima!" it was eri behind the camera. "Oh it's nothing…I thought we weren't going to have a camera?" he asked. "We had money left over so yeah!" she blushed.
Then akira pop up "come on harima help set up the table and chairs." She said. Akira opne her phone, she had a text from yakumo. Telling her that tenma wasn't going to make it to the opening. Akira closed her phone "Damn…" this screws up the opening section. Akira walks up to harima "harima we need to talk." She says. "What's up?" he asked. "yakumo told me what happened. Regardless you need to have a partner or date for the beginning remembers?" she asked. "Yeah…I remember, that spot is reserved for tenma." He says. "She's not going to make it to the opening so you need someone else. Yakumo is trying to get her just to go to the ball in all. You could ask sara, Eri, or me." She said. The choice wasn't hard for harima "I'll ask Eri." He says
Akira saw that coming "just remember you love tenma." She says then walks away "what was she talking about?" harima wonder. Harima decides not to put it off and asks eri right away. She accepts with a big cheer. It was kind of funny to harima but it didn't change the way he was feeling at the moment. This was all for tenma, they all worked so hard to get this together. It now was up to yakumo to get tenma to go.
Meanwhile
"Tenma please tell me what's wrong?" yakumo said at tenma's bedroom door. "Why did you bring me to him?" tenma calls from inside her room.
"I didn't know you had another problem with harima." Yakumo said. Tenma opened the door "It's not really a problem with him…its more me this time." She says leaving the door open as she heads back to her bed. Yakumo walk up to her bed and takes a seat. "Tell me tenma, what's wrong?" she asks.
Tenma turns red "you should know, you were there…" she said. Yakumo knew right away. "So you know about harima's true feelings." Yakumoe asked. Tenma looked down and nodded. Yakumo then asked "how does he make you feel now that you know?"
Tenma looked at her with tears in her eyes "I…I don't know! He does make me happy. But I'm not sure that way. I just don't know." She cries. Yakumo takes her in a hug "tenma…There's something you should know about all of us. Me, mikoto, akira, and eri knew for the longest time." She said. "why didn't you tell me?" tenma asked. "Because we all knew harima should be the one to tell you. We planned to help harima and as a result the ball happened. So in all the ball is all for you and harima." Yakumo finished. Tenma turned even redder "you guys did that all for us?" she thought about everything, from the day they met. The care he showed her, he never once blamed her, even was it was her fault. And out of love he exposed who he was and suffered the pain tenma threw at him. He could have hid it and let it die in the dark. Tenma still didn't know how she felt but she was going to find out. The ball was in two days, she is going to face this.
Day of the ball
Harima was wearing a tux's when he pulled up to eri's Mansion . She was waiting in a gold and black dress. Her hair was down with a bow on her back. For harima it was a sight "wow Eri you look…Hot!" he says. This made eri turn very red "Thank you harima you look good to! Shall we go and get the others." She said. Harima nodded and got in the limo. They were picking up all the committee members.
Yakumo had her dress on. Her dress was light blue that was at her shins, it was also strapless. The limo honked the horn. "tenma I'm leaving…" yakumo walked to her room. She looked to see tenma in her dress. It was white with a light blue line done the middle. "You look beautiful tenma!" yakumo says. Tenma smiled "Thank you sis." "You're still going right?" she asked. "Of course sis don't worry I'll be there." She said. "Ok see you then tenma!" yakumo left for the limo.
At the school
Akira was already there as everyone started showing up. At least 70 students were already there walking down the red carpet getting their picture taken. They plan to have close to 200 students at the ball. The limo pull up and the first to walk down the carpet was Harima and eri, then Yakumo and hanai, then Asou and Mikoto, last was Karen and sara. The tunnel into the gym was better looking than he last saw it. Harima and eri got their picture taken. Eri push herself up closer to harima before it was taken. Harima looked in the center of the gym to see that giant penguin. One girl seems to be hugging the giant thing. Harima and the others took the stage in front of the gym. Behind them was the band which Karen was in. Mikoto went straight to the mic and took it "Ok everyone! Thank you for coming! Before we start just thought we should all give the ball committee a big hand for planning this!" Everyone cheered and clapped as the whole committee bows. "And to Tenma Tsukmoto who couldn't make it to the opening." They all clapped and cheered again. Just then tenma walked in. "Now lets party!" Mikoto yells. The Band behind them started playing and Karen took the mic.
Mikoto saw akira with her headset. Mikoto walks over to her "what's up?" she asks. "She's here…" akira says pointing at tenma. "Ok remember the plan." Mikoto asked. "What about eri?" She looked over to see eri with harima. "Give me a moment." She walked over to eri. "Eri can I talk to you for a moment?" she asked. Eri put on a smile "yeah of course!" she says.
They walked over to the side "listen eri…I'm not going to get mad or anything. But could you please at least give tenma her chance to tell him about how she feels. Please do it for tenma…"with that mikoto left eri. A slow song just started "hey rich girl you want to dance?" he asked. Eri smiled and blushed "yeah…" harima took her hand and put his other on her waist. Karen had a really nice voice harima thought. "So harima…I want to ask you something." Eri said. "Yeah go ahead."
"Even after all that's happened, you still love tenma?" she asked. "Yeah…always."
Eri closed her eyes "well…I think it's rude to keep someone you love waiting…go to her." Eri broke away trying to hide her tears. Harima turned around to find tenma before him. She was already red "you want to dance?" he ask red himself. "Yeah."
They both take each other and dance.
Meanwhile
"Karen! Mikoto said to keep the song going." Karen still sing looked over and had a "I don't know what to do" look on her face. The song was about to over. But her band replayed a part of the song "just make up another versus Karen." Karen kept sing whatever came to mind.
"Tenma you look beautiful tonight." Harima says. Tenma smiles "thank you…" Harima knew that this was the moment of truth, all of nothing for reals this time. "tenma I theres something I want to tell you…"
"Let me go first, I know about your true feeling about me harima…I heard you and my sister talking about it the night of my birthday." She says. Harima was in shock "I…I…Don't know what to say at this point." He said. Tenma looked him "The truth was harima when I heard it…I was confused. Even now I'm confused. So I came to hear the words for you yourself…so…please tell me…" Tenma held her breath. Harima took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes
"Drop the snowflakes now!" mikoto told akira who press a big button that drop the flakes.
As the snowflakes fell harima said it "tenma…I love you."
Tenma felt time stop again like the night of her birthday. Her mind cleared and a warm feeling took over. A feeling she hasn't felt in a very long time…the feeling of love returning to her. At that moment she knew her answer "I love you to Kenji harima!" she pulled his head down and planted her lips on his.
"Yes! It Worked! All that hard work and pain didn't go to waste!" Mikoto yelled high fiving akira. Eri smiled "Good for you tenma…never let him go…that what I would have done." The night went and the committee all could say it was the time of there lives.
Beginning of the second semester
Harima pulled up to the tsukamoto house. Tenma came running out "Hi Harima!" she yelled. She kissed him on the cheek and hoped on his motorcycle. "Hold on!" he took off down the street to the school. They had been together for about two weeks, with no sight of it ever ending. They pulled up to the school. "Hey tenma I got to go see mikoto really quick so see you in class." Harima said. "Ok see you then." Tenma could believe how happy she was…BAM!
Tenma ran into someone who also fell. "Oh I'm Sorry! I was daydreaming haha!" tenma says getting up. "No its ok I do that sometimes to" tenma looked at the man. Her eyes widen. She dropped her bag. Before jumping to conclusions she checks to see if it was a dream. "OUCH!" Nope not a dream.
The man picks up her bag and held it out for her to get. Tenma soon found a tear rolling down her cheek. She did the first thing that came to mind "Run"
She ran away to the roof, upon there she screams at the top of her lungs and then started letting the tears fall. "NO! NO! NO! Why did you haft to come back karasuma!"
