Chapter 10

Birthday Celebration and Plans Commence

After she leaves Haruka, Mirai grumbles under her breath. That Haruka-sama! she thinks. That Haruka-sama! THAT STUPID, STUPID HARUKA-SAMA! She stomps her foot. "Mou~! Why, why, WHY do I have to help you with your stupid plans!?"

She really didn't want to interfere with Yagyuu and Hibari's relatinship, but since Haruka insisted, she has no other choice. She sighs as she is on her way towards town to grab a drink from the convenience store to refresh herself. As she drinks some juice, thoughts come to mind once again. How will I know what date they are going to next? Maybe I'll ask Yagyuu and see what she says.

She decides to head home and sleep it off.

**Next Day**

Mirai walks in school the next day and meets up with Yagyuu and Hibari. They are holding hands as usual when they notice the petite girl walking up to them.

"Oh, hey, Mirai-chan," Hibari says. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yes," the dark haired girl replies. "Much better actually."

"That's good," Yagyuu says. "Well, we better get to class. We'll see you later, Mirai."

Hibari waves her good-bye while the petite girl does the same. When she lowers her hand, all she can do is stand there, staring at the lovely couple walking away, holding hands. She softly clenches her fists, but releases them shortly after.

"Still feeling a bit sad, dearie~?" Haruka's voice startles the petite girl.

"Haruka-sama…"

"You know, seeing Yagyuu-san and Hibari-chan together does make me a bit jealous," the honey-blonde says as she approaches her. "And I understand where you're coming from."

"Yeah…that's right…"

"The two of you are different people," Haruka continues. "But the one thing that makes you two similar: you and Hibari-chan have overcome a lot of obstacles. But Hibari-chan has overcome it thanks to Yagyuu-san. She's Hibari-chan's one true love after all." She gently pets the petite girl. "You'll have your chance to find your love soon." With that, the honey blonde walks away, leaving Mirai standing there with her fist over her chest.

**Later**

"An Amusement Park?" Hibari asks as they leave the classroom.

"Yes," Yagyuu replies. "It's to celebrate your birthday. Sound good?"

"That sounds wonderful!" Going to an amusement park with Yagyuu-chan~! Hibari thinks. "So, when are we going?"

"How about early this Sunday? The earlier, the better."

"Okay!" Hibari says excitedly.

"Hey, girls!"

The couple turn to see Mirai walking towards them, smiling.

"Oh, hey, Mirai-chan," Hibari says. "What's up?"

"Can I…borrow Yagyuu for a little bit?"

"Oh, why?"

"I…I want to ask her something."

Hibari looks at her girlfriend for approval.

"It's alright," Yagyuu says with a smile. "It'll just be a few minutes."

The flower eyed girl nods and lets her girlfriend walk with Mirai. Both of them walk towards the stairway where no one is around.

"So, what is it, Mirai?" Yagyuu asks.

"It's…it's about you and Hibari," Mirai says, fiddling with the hem of her skirt. "Um…do you know where you're going next?"

"We're going to the amusement park on Sunday. Why?"

"Um…I was just asking…that's all…"

Yagyuu puts her hand on her hip. "Are you alright, Mirai? It sounds like you want to come along or something."

"N-no! I'm fine! You two go have your fun!"

The silver haired girl raises an eyebrow and then turns to leave. "You know, Mirai? Even though you love me, I truly believe that you care about me and Hibari's relationship. I'd like to thank you."

"S-sure, no problem. Well then, have a good day!" She turns and runs off.

Yagyuu smiles at the small girl. She's so nice, she thinks. I'm glad Hibari is friends with her.

Mirai runs until she stops at the back entrance. Footsteps are heard coming towards her and a seductive giggle is heard.

"So? Did you get the location of their next date?" Haruka asks.

"Yes," Mirai says. "It's at the amusement park this Sunday."

The senior rubs her chin with an evil grin. "An amusement park, huh? Interesting…"

The petite girl looks up at the honey blonde. "Haruka-sama, I don't know if this will work."

"It will, sweetie. All you need to do is casually give a drink to Yagyuu. But it will have that flavor pack I gave you yesterday."

"And…what will happen then?"

Haruka just winks at her as she puts her finger towards her lips. "You'll just have to wait to find out."

"Please don't let it be something so dangerous!" Mirai cries. "Because…because Hibari will be devastated if something horrible happens to Yagyuu!"

"It'll be totally harmless," Haruka assures her as she pets her. "Yes, it will have some side effects, but it's nothing too serious."

"O-okay…" Mirai clenches the flavor pack that's in her bag. She hopes that what the senior told her is right. If anything happens to Yagyuu once she gives the flavored drink to her, Mirai will never forgive herself.

**The Day of the Amusement Park**

Yagyuu and Hibari walk towards the entrance, hand in hand. Yagyuu is wearing a blue sweater with a light brown skirt with knee high socks while Hibari is wearing a long pink dress. The silver haired girl looks over at her girlfriend and blushes. She's so cute, she thinks.

"So," Hibari says, snapping Yagyuu out of her thoughts. "Shall we go~?"

"Yes," her girlfriend replies.

After purchasing their tickets, their lovely fun date begins. Hibari and Yagyuu went to a few great rides, like the tea cups, roller coaster, Hibari went on the Merry Go Round with Yagyuu watching and then on some water rides. The flower eyed girl is not only happy about being with the one she loves, but going on a special date on her birthday. From all the dates they've gone to, Hibari feels that this one is the most wonderful date ever. As for Yagyuu, she's happy because she's with Hibari. After what they've been through a while ago, they are back to where they were and they are happier than ever.

However, Yagyuu still haven't gotten a gift for Hibari. While the flower eyed girl is eyeing some of the games, Yagyu looks around and stops immediately when something catches her eye. There is a dart game with a large stuffed bunny as the main prize. She doesn't want her girlfriend to know, though. So, she leans over and smiles.

"Hibari, why don't you go and play some of the games?" Yagyuu suggests. "I have to do something."

"Eh? Where are you going, Yagyuu-chan?" Hibari asks.

"Secret."

"Boo~! Fine, I'll play." Hibari goes over towards the water shooting game.

Yagyuu smiles and goes over towards the dart game, just diagonal from where Hibari is. She pays the host and takes the dart in her hand. With her eyes focused on the target, she throws the dart and successfully hits a bullseye. The host gives her the stuffed bunny and her heart beats rapidly. Hibari will LOVE this! she thinks. She goes over towards Hibari, who lost in the ring toss.

"Hey, Yagyuu-chan," she says with a sigh.

"What's wrong, Hibari?"

"I lost in the ring toss. I'm too short."

"Hey, hey, it's okay," Yagyuu says. "It's just a game. Oh, Hibari. Can you close your eyes for a second?"

"O-okay…"

Hibari does what her girlfriend asks.

"Now, hold out your hands."

"Alright."

Yagyuu gently places the present in her hands. "Now, open."

The flower eyed girl does and gasps happily. "Wooooow~! It's a stuffed bunny!"

"Happy Birthday, Hibari."

"It's so cute! Where did you get this?"

"I won it from one of the games. I played a dart game and this stuffed bunny is the main prize."

"Really? That's what you've been doing?"

"Mm-hmm."

Hibari happily hugs the stuffed bunny. "I love it! I'll treasure it forever~!" She pulls it away and has it facing her. "I'm going to call you…Ninto~!"

Yagyuu giggles. "Already got a name for it, huh? I'm glad."

Suddenly, Hibari's phone goes off. She snatches it out of her bag and presses the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Hibari."

"M-Mirai-chan!?" The flower eyed girl gasps. "I didn't expect you to call me."

"Y-yes, well…" Mirai's voice is very quiet. "I was feeling really lonely at the dorms, so I decided to come."

"You're here, too!? Where are you?"

"Can I…talk to Yagyuu for a second?"

"Sure…" Hibari hands the phone to her girlfriend. "Mirai-chan wants to talk to you."

Yagyuu takes the phone. "Yes?"

"Um…where are you going to now?"

"We're heading towards the cafeteria to grab lunch," Yagyuu replies.

"Can you meet me in the back then? I have something to give you."

"Sure thing." Yagyuu hands the phone back to Hibari. "Mirai wants me to meet her at the cafeteria in the back. It won't be long."

"Okay." Hibari says as she glances at the ground. I guess Mirai-chan was bored, so she decided to show up at this place, she thinks.

What they didn't know is that Mirai is hiding behind a pole. She holds out a bottle and pours the flavor pack in there. Once she closes it, she shakes it a little so that all of it is mixed in. For some reason, she notices that the powder she poured in has no color, making it a little hard for her to see. She wonders what it means when it's like that.

**Cafeteria**

Once inside, Hibari and Yagyuu pick their seat and wait after ordering their food. Yagyuu excuses herself to the back where Mirai is standing. She is wearing a coat over her pink tank top with a short blue skirt and white thigh high socks with sneakers on. The petite girl holds out a bottle of juice.

"Here you go," she says, softly.

"Oh, but I bought my own drink."

"This tastes better. And…well…I think it'll be better since it's your special date, you know?"

"Oh." Yagyuu examines the bottle and smiles. "Well, thank you." She turns and leaves.

Mirai does the same, but she exits the cafeteria and meets Haruka outside. The honey blonde is wearing a yellow sweater with a purple skirt and black stockings with high heels. She approaches the petite girl with a smile.

"Did you give her the drink?" she asks.

"Yes…" Mirai replies quietly. She starts to cry as she plunges herself into Haruka's chest.

"There, there," Haruka whispers as she strokes her hair to calm her down.

"Wh-what do we do now?" the petite girl asks as she looks up at the senior.

"We just wait for the results."

"How?"

"It'll be a while, but we'll know once we see it."

Mirai nods as she looks away for a bit.

Meanwhile, Yagyuu comes back to the table where Hibari is and sets the bottle down.

"Oh, Mirai-chan got you a drink?" the pink haired girl asks.

"Yes," Yagyuu replies. "Apparently, it's a special drink because it's our special date."

"Oh, really? Okay, I'm fine with that."

Yagyuu opens the lid and takes a sip. "Oh, it tastes great. Mirai was right." She takes another couple sips and sets the drink down.

"I'm glad you liked it," Hibari says. She notices the waitress coming towards them. "Oh, our food's coming."

While the two are getting their food served, Mirai and Haruka hide behind a corner.

"Looks like she drank it," Haruka says.

"Yes…she did…" Mirai replies.

**Late Afternoon**

"Are you ready to go?" Yagyuu asks as they are walking around the amusement park. "It's getting kind of late."

"Eh? Oh…" Hibari looks down at the ground with a blush on her face.

"Is something the matter?"

"I…I want to go on one more ride." The pink haired girl looks up at the large ferris wheel.

"Okay. We do have enough tickets to go on there anyways." She feels a sharp pain on her head, like someone hit her hard. "OW!"

"Ah! Are you alright, Yagyuu-chan!?" Hibari cries in alarm.

"Y-yes. It must be a little headache. Let's go." She takes her girlfriend's hand and both of them head over towards the line.

After a while, they get in and the ride starts as soon as everyone climbs aboard. Yagyuu and Hibari sit across from each other as they look out the window. The sun is already setting, but the scenery is beautiful. The orange light on the buildings and trees were wonderful, making them stand out. Hibari giggles as she hugs her stuffed bunny.

"This is amazing~!" she says happily. "Look at the great view!"

"It is amazing, indeed." Yagyuu replies. Just then, she feels the sharp pain in her head again. "Ow!"

"Yagyuu-chan!" Hibari cries in alarm.

"Dang, why am I getting a headache all of a sudden?"

"Maybe we shouldn't have gone on this ride…" the pink haired girl says, sadly.

"No, this is your birthday, Hibari. I want to make this the best day ever."

"Okay…"

But as the ride goes on, Yagyuu's headache gets worse and worse, up to the point where she can't look up at Hibari anymore. And the flower eyed girl is getting really worried about her girlfriend.

"A-are you okay, Yagyuu-chan? Let's get off the ride if you're in so much pain," Hibari offers.

"I'm fine," the pig-tailed girl says, holding her hand up. "Please…"

Hibari looks at her girlfriend for a bit and nods. "Okay…but please be alright until the ride's over. I don't want it to be like last time."

Yagyuu nods as she looks up and smiles weakly at her beloved. She's determined to make her day the best and she can't have a headache like that ruin it.

And thankfully, the ride finishes within about 20 minutes. As they get off the ride, Yagyuu wobbles her way out and tries to walk. Her head is still aching, but it's way worse than earlier. She drops down to one knee as she clutches her head with both hands.

"It hurts so much!" Yagyuu whispers. "Why won't it stop?"

Hibari quickly kneels down next to her. "Don't worry, Yagyu-chan! Here, let's go home and rest! Maybe you'll feel better tomorrow!"

She helps her girlfriend up and the two try to run towards the dorms. But about 5 minutes after they start running, Yagyuu's headache starts again and she begins to feel really dizzy, too. She lets go and falls to the ground panting.

"Yagyuu-chan!?" Hibari cries as she picks her up. "Yagyuu-chan, please get up! It's just a few more blocks!"

"H-Hibari…I…" Yagyuu's eyes were closing with her vision blurring.

"Yayguu-chan! Don't do this to me! Please!"

"Hibari…I'm…sorry…"

The flower eyed girl tries to shake girl girlfriend awake, but she wouldn't budge. She snatches out her phone to contact Mirai.

**Hospital**

Hibari sits in the waiting room while Yagyuu is getting examined. She is praying…hoping…that her girlfriend is okay after all that. She can't believe that THIS has to happen on her birthday. And they were doing so well in their relationship, too. Tears are already forming in her eyes, but she knows she has to be strong. Yagyuu wants her to be strong, so she's going to try and do it.

Suddenly, she hears some footsteps coming toward her.

"Hibari-chan!" Haruka cries.

"H-Haruka-san?" Hibari stands up. "I thought I called Mirai-chan."

"She called me, too," the senior says. "Don't worry, she's coming as well."

"Oh, thank you," Hibari hugs the honey-blonde. "Thank you for coming. I…I don't know what to do if Mirai-chan doesn't know how to help me."

"Everything will be fine," Haruka says as she strokes her hair. "Yagyuu-san will live through this."

Mirai comes running towards them. "Haruka-sama!" she stops to catch her breath. "Haaah….haaah…I hate running!"

"My, my~!" the honey-blonde giggles. "You really should work out more~"

"Oh, shut up!"

Just then, a female doctor walks up to them. "Excuse me? Hibari-san?"

"Yes!" The flower eyed girl approaches the doctor. "How is Yagyuu-chan?"

"She's fine, just some major headaches, though," the doctor says. "But you three are allowed to visit her. She's awake now."

Hibari dashes past the nurse. Haruka giggles and follows the small girl with Mirai trying to catch up to them.

"Wait for me!" she cries.

**Yagyuu's Room**

Hibari opens the door and finds Yagyuu in bed, looking towards her right. She's in her usual stoic expression, but Hibari doesn't care. All she does is jump into her girlfriend's arms.

"Yagyuu-chan!" she cries in happy tears. "I'm so glad you're okay!"

Haruka and Mirai also run in and get on the other side of Yagyuu's bed. Hibari speaks up again.

"Yagyuu-chan, I was so worried about you. I thought you're going to die or something! But now…everything's okay!"

"Hey…" Yagyuu finally says. "Who are you?"

Hibari gasps and looks up at her. "Wh-what…"

"I'm asking you," the silver haired girl says. "Who are you?"

Haruka and Mirai gasp at the stoic girl's words. Hibari starts trembling as she stares at her girlfriend.

She…she doesn't…remember me!? she thinks.

A/N: Ohhh, my gosh! I feel evil now, but I feel really bad at the same time! WAAHHHH! *cries in a corner*

S-so, um…nothing too serious. And plus…I'm not a chemist. So, this is just made up because I have nothing more to come up with to get to that point.

Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to reveiw~! ;)
