Chapter 10:
Tsuna's P.O.V.
We still have two weeks left before the play. I was in front of Kyoko's house when I saw Enma running to me. I am wondering what he wants.
"Tsuna… may I ask you something?" Enma asked
"Sure what is it?" I asked
"Can I… Uhmmm… date Sumi- chan?" Enma said
My world stops for a minute. Enma is asking me if he can date Sumi. There is a part of me that want to say yes you can but mostly it says no you can't. I don't know why I don't like Enma dating Sumi. I don't like to be a bad friend because both of them are my friends.
"Why do you ask me Enma?" I asked
"Because you're Sumi's best friend!" Enma said
"Sure you can date Sumi… by the way did she say something about this?" I asked
"None yet. In fact, I'm on my way to their house." Enma said
"I hope Sumi will agree." I said
"Yeah I'm hoping so. She had rejected a lot lately." Enma said
"Don't worry, I can guarantee you that Sumi will agree." I said
"Thanks Tsuna. I hope for the best for you and Kyoko." Enma said
When Enma leaves, Kyoko- chan comes out. She's wearing a tank top and a pleated skirt. She's smiling warmly towards me. I smiled back to her but I suddenly realize that since Kyoko and I got together, my feelings for her lie low.
While we are on our way to the park, I saw Mrs. Fujiwara holding a brown envelope. When she saw us, she greeted us and made her way again. These past days, I notice that Mrs. Fujiwara is always out leaving Sumi alone in their house.
I feel my phone rings and when I look at it, Sumi's name is flashed. It was a text message saying that if I want to come over because she wants some company. I replied I'm sorry and ask her if Enma comes to their house. After that, I put my phone back to my pocket.
"Tsuna, let's eat ice cream." Kyoko said
"Let's go." I said
When we have our ice cream, my phone rings again. It was Sumi again. She said that Enma had just arrived. I don't text back and just put my phone in pocket again.
It was now three in the afternoon and we decided to go to an amusement park. I am glad that Kyoko is happy that I bring her here. While I am waiting in the line with Kyoko for the Roller Coaster ride, I saw a glimpse of a familiar red hair. Kyoko tugged my sleeve and I gave my attention to her.
"Hey Tsu- kun, you're spacing out." Kyoko said
"Sorry Kyoko- chan, I thought I saw Enma- kun." I replied
"Enma- kun? Where?" Kyoko asked
"I think I saw him on the carousel." I replied
"Oh… look Tsu- kun, you're right, Enma is in the carousel with Sumi- chan." Kyoko said
My body tensed up a bit and look over to the carousel ride for the second time. Kyoko is right, Enma is there with Sumi. They are riding on a carousel with pinkies entwined with each other. My hands formed into a fist. Why do I need to feel this way? I have Kyoko- chan now. I don't have the right to be jealous if Sumi is around with Enma. Why?
As we finally take our turn to the roller coaster, I am still thinking about Enma and Sumi. That entwined pinkies while riding the carousel, Sumi and I always do it. She always entwined her pinkie with mine when we're little kids. I feel my heart aches.
After the Roller Coaster, we go to the Horror house and I saw them again there. When Enma saw me, he taps Sumi on the shoulder. She's currently listening to her I- pod. She waves at me and motioned her hand to come over there. Kyoko dragged me and join them in the line. Now, I am currently feeling difficulty in breathing. While we are waiting, Enma plays with Sumi's hair and sometimes draw circles on her palm with his thumb. Enma deserves Sumi. Sumi deserves someone like Enma.
When we got inside, I never realize that this Horror house had a maze. I'm an idiot. I should realize it when I saw Sumi waiting patiently on the line. She likes mazes. While we are walking, I feel Kyoko's hand holds mine. We are following Sumi and Enma and it seems that those two are taking this easy. Of course they are, Sumi is good at mazes. She always leads me out of mazes.
"Say Enma, why there are no ghost around?" Sumi asked
"I don't know." Enma said
"I patiently wait in the line. I deserve more of this!" Sumi said
"Relax Sumi- chan, I know there will be a ghost around." Enma said
As we continue walking, I realize that we are left behind by them. I don't like to panic but I am not good in maze. It's too dark here and why I am having a feeling that something is missing with me. I pulled out my phone so that I can see a little and I just realize that Kyoko is not with me anymore. I need to find Kyoko and same with those two.
I continue walking, when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look back to see that this one of the ghost that Sumi wants to see. I run as fast as I could and I suddenly bump into someone. I look at the person whom I bumped with and it was Sumi. Thanks God, I found one!
"Sumi!" I said
"What happened to you? Where's Kyoko- chan?" she asked
"I don't know. Where's Enma?" I asked
"I don't know either." Sumi replied
"We need to find them." I said
"Relax Tsuna, everything is getting great. I've encountered a ghost. By the way why are you running?" she asked
"A g-ghost…" I replied
"Is that so? Then let's get out of here Scaredy Tsuna- fish." Sumi said as she helps me stand
This feeling… I feel like I'm back to my childhood. This is the same like when I first meet Sumi. She had helped me find my way out when I lost sight of my mother inside. While we are walking, we had encountered some ghosts and Sumi is just making her way out of them while I am shivering to death in fear.
While Sumi is deciding where to go, I feel a hand holds mine. I started freaking out and I realize that it was Enma with Kyoko- chan.
"It looks like we lost our partners." Kyoko said
"Hey Tsuna- fish, it's alright now. Kyoko's there." Sumi said while pointing to Kyoko
No Sumi, don't hand me over yet. I want to go out here with you. Please… don't… just this once please. Don't go with Enma right now.
I tighten my grip to Sumi's hand and I think everyone is surprise at my action. Sumi looks at me worriedly and it goes the same for Kyoko- chan. I slowly loosen my grip to her and walk back to Kyoko.
"Thank you for earlier. I owe you one." I said
"No problem." Sumi said
When we got out, I sigh in relief that I can finally see light again. Sumi laughed at me and I laugh back. We are about to separate ways when Kyoko tugs my sleeve again.
"What is it?" I asked
I suddenly felt Kyoko's lips brushes against mine. Kyoko had kissed me. Enma and Sumi are both surprised by the sudden action and it is the same with me. I saw Sumi's body frozen but regain her composure afterwards.
"We are going that way. See you later." Sumi said as she drags Enma with her
Why do I suddenly feel guilt? I am not supposed to feel guilty because Kyoko is my girlfriend. While we continue walking, Sumi's reaction is flashing in my mind non- stop. Her reaction is killing me. I am not to suppose to feel this way!
Sumi's P.O.V.
As Kyoko kissed Tsuna, my heart had completely shattered into millions of pieces. I want to cry on that time. I thought that I have finally got over with my feelings for Tsuna but I think I'm still not. When I regain my composure, I decided to leave the place. Staying in the same place with them is too hard for me. Like what I have said, in Tsuna's life, one moment I'll exist and in a second I'm not.
As I drag Enma away from them, he suddenly stops on his tracks. I also stop to see what's wrong with him. When I look at him, he had a very serious face and his eyes are like piercing daggers looking at me.
"Sumi- chan, you're not fine. I feel it earlier." Enma said
"No I'm fine." I replied
"When Kyoko- chan kissed Tsuna, you froze. You love Tsuna to the point that you don't mind if you are left broken." Enma said
"Enma- kun…"
"Cry… please cry right now." Enma said
I look at Enma in disbelief. So he had noticed. I thought that it was only Gokudera who can read my actions better. I feel that my eyes suddenly watered and I cry on Enma's shoulder all the time. I think he's right. I'm bottling my feelings inside me. I think it's time to let it flow freely. When I started to wipe my tears, Enma lifted my chin with his finger. I feel his lips brush against mine. My eyes are wide open at the sudden action.
"I'll wait." Enma said
Gokudera's P.O.V.
While I am walking with my sister Bianchi who asks me to have some bonding time with her which annoys me a lot, I saw Sumi being kissed by the Shimon boss. Bianchi also stop on her tracks and we stared at the both of them from afar.
I scan the place to find spiky brown hair and luckily I found one. If Sumi is around the area, there is a 90% that Tenth is around. And there he is standing looking wide- eyed at the scene and Sasagawa is nowhere to find. I know that today those two will have their quality time together but I never thought of Sumi going out with Enma.
I know that the Shimon Boss likes Sumi since the first day he was introduced in the class but it is far of my calculations that he will advanced to this level. He is already stepping on the boundary.
"That is Sumi- chan right?" Bianchi said
"Yeah." I replied
"I thought that she will end up with Tsuna. She's a very good girl." Bianchi said
"I hope Tenth will do something." I said
"What kind of thing? As far as I know Tsuna and Kyoko are together." Bianchi said
"I trust Tenth. I just hope that he will just realize." I said
"I hope so. Besides, Sumi is slowly slipping out of his grasp and that boy is only a few steps to reach the goal. I can say that they are really blind." Bianchi said
I look back at Tenth who is still standing there. I want to help him but this time, he is the only person who can solve his own problem.
