Chapter 10

Dumb Blond

Hello! So I had no idea why it was doing this, but I updated Scientific Love Story chapter 9 like two weeks ago, but it decided to post the new chapter just a few days ago.

Again I'm so sorry for the late update.

It turns out that I had too many docs in the fanfic website which was messing with the system apparently.

Here is the tenth chapter and I'd like to thank everyone who has supported the story so far.

Unlike my other story, this one will make Takumi and Misaki fall in love a lot quicker.

Though How quick I don't know. Most likely they'll start to get closer to each other by the next chapter. Closer meaning Misaki will start to like him.

But I can't say when they'll start dating though.

It might take a few more chapters after that, after I've dealt with a tragic event in this story. So be on the lookout for that.

For now enjoy~

In the mall

"Right then," Tomu and Kuga faced each other with strong auras surrounding them. It was pretty obvious that they both hated each other from the beginning.

Misaki recalled how the events of the story hanged in five minutes.

One minute she was introducing Kuga to everyone and in the next minute Tomu and Kuga had insulted each other so badly that they now chose to duel.

"Isn't this lovely," Misaki turned her attention to her alien companion.

While everyone else had gone shopping, Misaki had decided to stay back to keep an eye on these two. Just her luck Takumi had decided to stay with her, since there was a chance that Tamu wouldn't have listened to her if things got out of hand.

Though she was well aware that it was just an excuse for Takumi to annoy her.

"If you say so," was Misaki's late reply.

They watched Tomu and Kuga circle each other for a while until Kuga lunged at him.

"So who do you think will win," Takumi asked out of the blue as Kuga spread out his arms to release a swirl of wind.

Misaki observed Tomu for a moment. He was a lot taller than Kuga which would give him an advantage in combat, but however since he was slimmer than him to, he wouldn't have as high of an advantage in strength.

"That would depend on what your friend is capable of," she merely said.

"Friend?" Takumi arched an eyebrow. He couldn't even stand Tora and she thought Tomu was his friend?

"Aren't you," she mimicked him by raising an eyebrow.

Takumi rubbed his neck slightly. "I wouldn't go that far," he mumbled. "We're only acquaintances."

"Really?"

Takumi was amused at her innocent expression. She couldn't get any cuter.

"Why do you ask," he leaned on the railing with his palm supporting his face. His eyes remained fixed on her though.

"Just because," she said. Misaki smiled to herself. So he was a loner type. That's interesting. Pretty boys like him tended to be more popular.

Below Tomu and Kuga sparred against each other. It had been five minutes and Tomu still hadn't released his ability yet.

'What's his ability," she asked Takumi. She blushed when she caught him staring at her.

Takumi's heart skipped a beat when he saw her blush. "Illusions," Takumi answered. "He has the ability to create illusions."

Misaki quirked an eyebrow, indicating she was slightly confused.

"It means that he can create illusions of people and things, then use it against them in combat. For example right now he's creating illusions of himself, yet also fighting with his real body at the same time."

"Really," Misaki asked surprised.

"Yeah." He grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him.

Misaki was beyond embarrassed. "W-what are you-"

"Look," Takumi pointed down and Misaki did as she was told.

She looked below and saw what he meant. Tomu hid in the shadows underneath the stairs, while Kuga kept on missing his attacks at the person he thought was Tomu.

"What is this," the said blond growled. The illusion laughed. When Kuga punched him, his hand went right through Tomu's face. "Illusions," Kuga gasped. Misaki facepalmed at how slow he was.

"Finally," the illusion moved away from Kuga and laughed. "You really are some kind of dumb blond you know that," he laughed louder and just then eight to nine illusions surrounded Kuga. Kuga looked around and Misaki grea concerned at his confused expression.

Takumi on the other hand was enjoying how close he was to Misaki. He rested a hand on her shoulder, and assured her. "I'm sure he'll be fine," he said as he gave her a charming smile. This time it was Misaki's turn to have her heart skip a beat. "I'm sure you're right." Was all she said.

As expected Kuga did find a way to beat Tomu. He released a gust of wind and laughed to himself.

"What's so funny," one of the Tomus asked. Misaki noticed how the real one was no longer below the staircase but rather inside the circle. "Illusions wouldn't be affected by muy wind right?" Kouga smirked to himself. Now the Tomus began to panick. "Whichever one moves will be the real one and I'll win."

With that Kuga released his wind in a circle as he spun around. It was so strong that even Misaki and Takumi felt it. Misaki covered her eyes, and completely forgot she was wearing a skirt until Takumi opened his mouth to speak. "You wear really sexy underwear Misaki-chan," Misaki blushed beet red and whirled around to slap him, but before she could the wind blew her back and Takumi caught her only to fall back on the ground with her on top of him.

Misaki looked up and her eyes widened at how close they were. However his hands remained around her waist and she found herself frozen by his eyes. Almost as if it were some Medusa effect.

"What are you guys doing?" A voice made them both look up. Make that two voices, because both Kaon and Aoi were scowling at them. Misaki felt Takumi move as he helped her up. Chip winked at her, while Tora gave Takumi a devilish smile who smiled back.

"It's not what you think?" she exclaimed but Aoi didn't bother listening as he ignored her and turned his attention to Kuga.

Who by now located his real opponent and punched him till he fell back. Kuga smirked at his victory then helped Tomu up.

"Not bad," Tomu said smiling as he brushed his neck.

"Not bad yourself," Kuga returned his smirk and held out a hand, The two fistpumped and Misaki found herself smiling at how mature Kuga was. She was soon distracted by the flower around Sakura.

"Kuga-kun," she cheered. When all eyes turned to her the said girl blushed and ran for the exit.

"I'll get us a ride back," she said without looking back as she stormed out of the mall.

"Did you get everything?" Misaki asked Chiyo.

"Yep," her friend chirped. "They'll be delivered to us soon."

"That's great." Misaki smiled at how happy her friend looked. Tora really does like her. Thought Misaki didn't want to believe the love part yet.

She glanced at Takumi who was smiling at her.

"What," she scowled as she felt herself get red.

"Nothing," he shrugged. "I have something to attend to," he said. Out of the blue he took her hand and then kissed it. Misaki tried to pull her hand away but he held on it and kissed it longer than he should have. She felt everyone staring at them.

"Until we meet again Milady," he winked at her and left the mall whistling a happy tune.

And for some reason Misaki felt slightly amused by him.

But why?

Here you go. What did you think of the battle? What about the minor fluff?

Tell me in the reviews.

Fave and follow.
