I divided this chapter into 2.. [because it's long. and confuuuuusing] Chapter 10 part 1 and part 2 happened at the same time. Chapter 10 part 1 will be about Yachiyo's point of view and the Chapter 10 part 2 would be about Kise's point of view.

It took me 2 days to post this because..i was sick, an earthquake...NOT REALLY...I watched a romantic movie marathon while eating chocolates and because I read a THE UNBECOMING OF MARA DYER. [oh my glob, that books is freaking epic. YOU MUST READ IT. i'm now on my way to reading the second book. yayyyy]

so anyway, this chapter is the one that will start a special bond between the two. [It's complicated. Bawahahaha. I'm excited in writing the next chapters. XDDD It'll be funnnnn.]

You may now start reading~

Chapter 10 [part 1]– What she thinks

Monday night at Yachiyo's apartment.

As Kuroko Yachiyo walked the hallway to the door of her apartment, she saw that the lights were on. She didn't think that maybe a burglar entered her house; she didn't run away from the door or called the cops. Instead she ran towards the door and opened it.

She ran straight to the kitchen and found a familiar figure standing near the stove.

The man turned around and said; "Okaeri, Yachiyo."

Yachiyo smiled and said; "Tadaima, Tetsuya."

The pot was boiling so Tetsuya turned around and turned it off.

"Are you making boiled eggs, Tetsuya?" Yachiyo asked in a friendly tone.

"Yeah, how did you know?" Tetsuya asked.

"Well, uhmm… I just guessed right. Ahahaha" Yachiyo asked. But truthfully, it's because it's the only thing Tetsuya can cook.

"Go and get dressed first, I'd just prepare dinner." Tetsuya said to her. Yachiyo smiled and nodded.

.

After a while… The two sat down at the table.

.

"Uwaaa… Tetsuya, you're boiled tamago are getting better." Yachiyo said. "Well, you always make them good, but, uh.. this time is better."

"Arigatou." Tetsuya smiled a little. "But I don't think it's even on the level of okay."

"Ehh… uhm…" Yachiyo said then thought; "Did I make Tetsuya feel bad? Oh no! "

"Ah.. ne, Tetsuya, was school okay today?" Yachiyo asked unsurely.

"I should be the one asking you that." Tetsuya replied. "Okaa-san told me to make sure you're okay."

"Sou. Ahaha. But I'm perfectly fine." Yachiyo replied.

"So, how was school?" Tetsuya asked.

"Uhm… everything was fine… but there is one thing…" Yachiyo thought of how she was locked up.

"Hmnn? What is it?" Tetsuya asked. Yachiyo's face looked sad. "Did something happen?"

"No, … don't make Tetsuya worry again." Yachiyo thought. "Come on, Yachiyo, think of something else… like…"

"Ikemen… I mean.. Kise-san." Yachiyo said.

"Huh? What's with Kise-kun?" Tetsuya asked.

"He… he's really annoying." Yachiyo said. "That's right… Ikemen was annoying today." "At least I'm not lying to Tetsuya.. but…"

"Kise-kun is really annoying at times." Tetsuya said in his plain voice. "But he is nice too once you get to know him. He's a great friend."

"Eh?" Yachiyo reacted. "That's…"

"What did he do to you, Yachiyo?" Tetsuya asked.

She thought of the times Kise called her; "Meganekko."

"He… he's annoying." Yachiyo said.

She thought of the time when Kise said; "You actually have a cute side."

"He says a lot of weird things."

She remembered when Kise defended her; "Aren't you gonna ask if she's okay?"

"He meddles a lot."

She recalled when Kise said; "Her name is Kuroko Yachiyo. And don't forget that."

"He's stupid, really stupid."

An image of Kise asking; "Can we have lunch together?" flashed in her mind.

"He acts like we're close."

The moment when Kise asked; "Can I please hug you?" appeared on her mind.

"And he makes weird requests."

"He looks weird, he laughs then cries and acts like a girl. He even has mood swings. Even if you clearly show that you don't like him, he's still there, he doesn't leave… and he even calls you… friend."

.

Yachiyo went silent for a few seconds then she said; "See Tetsuya! That Kise really is—"

"Yachiyo." Tetsuya interrupted. "You didn't seem like you were annoyed at all."

"That's not it. He's—" Yachiyo defended but hearing that made her blush.

"Yachiyo, I've known you since the day we were born. You're like my twin, you don't even have to say what you think, I already know." Tetsuya interrupted.

"What?! No! Tetsuya—" Yachiyo shouted showing embarrassment at her face.

"And I also know when you are lying and when you are hiding something." Tetsuya added. "Yachiyo, if something happened to you, you could always tell me. We're a family, just like Okaa-san always says." Tetsuya smiled at her.

"That's the point." Yachiyo looked down. "I can't bear to see you, Okaa-san and the others worried." She thought.

She then stands up and says; "Daijobou! I can handle myself! I had Aikido training, right? Ahaha."

"You don't look alright, Yachiyo." Tetsuya said. Although his face is still emotionless, his voice shows concern.

"I'm fine, really." Yachiyo said. "I'm perfectly okay." She sat down at her chair again and looked down.

They both went silent.

Tetsuya sighed and said; "It's okay if you won't tell me now, Yachiyo. I won't force you." He reached up and patted Yachiyo's head.

Yachiyo looked up and saw Tetsuya's smile. "I'm sorry I'm not always there to protect you. But I'd still protect you like back then."

She smiled back and said; "Arigatou, Tetsuya."

.

"But don't think I won't do something about this." Tetsuya added.

"Eh? What do you mean?" Yachiyo asked.

"Since I don't go to the same school as you, I'd just ask someone else to be there when I'm not. He's a good friend and he goes to the same school. Not to mention you already know each other. And you also have the same club, so he's perfect for the job." Tetsuya said again.

"Eh?...EH?! Wait! Don't tell me you are talking about—" Yachiyo shouted.

"Kise-kun." Tetsuya continued.

"I'll call him later, so don't worry, Yachiyo." Tetsuya said with the same kind smile he gave her.

Yachiyo wanted to say no. "Wait! Tetsuya! Please don't. It's fine!" she shouted.

"Why? Don't you want my help?" Tetsuya asked while looking quite sad.

She really wanted to refuse but the sight of Tetsuya looking like that just made her give up.

"No..." Yachiyo said in a timid voice.

"Great. Then it's settled." Tetsuya said.

.

After a while, Tetsuya was calling Kise's phone…

"Hello? Kise-kun?..." You can almost hear Kise screaming while Tetsuya covered his ear.

.

. the two talk for a while on the phone.

.

Meanwhile on the background, you could see Yachiyo just standing there with a weird depressed face and a black aura background. "I wonder what will happen tomorrow." She thought as her bespectacled soul leaves her body.

.

What she thinks END

This is Kise's POV chapter. Now… let's find out what Kise thinks about Yachiyo

.

Chapter 10 [part 2] – What he thinks

Kise arrives home really tired. "Okaeri Ryouta~" His sister greeted.

"Tadaima, nee-chan." Kise looked really exhausted.

"Oyaa? Ryouta? What happened to you?" she asked.

"Ahh… nothing. I'm just tired." He replied.

He then walks to the living room and collapses on the sofa. He plunged straight to the sofa pillows.

"EH?! Ryotua!" his sister screamed.

"I'm fine nee-chan. Just tired. But fine." He said.

"*sigh*… Ryouta. That's not good for your skin you know?" she said.

"nnnn…" Kise answered.

"Hurry up and get dressed. I'd prepare dinner." She said as she walked to the kitchen.

.

After a while, both of them are now on the kitchen eating dinner.

.

"Oi, Ryouta, eat your salad. You don't want to look horrible tomorrow right?" Kise's sister scolded.

""Hai, Nee-chan." He replied in a tired voice.

"Ryouta, before I leave to America for my modeling project, I want to be a caring sister first." She said, she placed her chopsticks down and said; "Now tell me,... what happened today?"

"Uhmm… Well, a lot of things happened." Kise said in a depressed voice.

"Oya… Is this about a girl?" she teasingly asked.

"Well it is but…" Kise said, he looked at his sister who now had a happy expression.

"Uwaaa~~~ Ryouta is in-love?" she said happily.

"No! That's not it! I'm not in-love!" Kise defended as he showed a little blush.

"Aree? If that's not it then what?" she said teasingly.

"She's complicated!" Kise screamed.

"Complicated?" his sister looked confused. "In what way?"

"Well, you see… She's a weird girl. I can't tell if she's really messing with me or not. And she has a huge cousin complex." Kise tried to explain.

"Cousin complex?" his sister thought.

"She calls me Ikemen." Kise said.

A memory of Yachiyo saying; "It's possible, Ikemen." Flashed on his mind.

"She's also emotionless but she has a sharp tongue."

He thought of the many times he argued with her.

"She has a different kind side to anything and anyone other than me."

He thought of how Yachiyo warned him; "Don't you dare make me look bad in front of Tetsuya." and how she quickly changed her personality in front of Tetsuya. and also how she acted with Ufo-chan.

"Her appearance doesn't suit her personality."

She remembered the dream about Yachiyo in a wedding dress while smiling.

"In just one day, I can't even count how many times she abused me. Just when I thought we were already friends... she would torture me at bastketball practice

Flashback of Yachiyo hitting and punching [abusing] Kise multiple times. in the classroom, the rooftop, the gym.

"It's rare for her to say nice things…" Kise said. "But when she does..when she does... she would look indescribably..."

Flashback of Yachiyo smiling and saying; "Arigatou, Kise-kun."

"Ahhhhhhh! I don't know!" Kise screamed as he covered his blushing face.

.

"You know, Ryouta. I have no idea what you are talking about." His sister said. "In fact, I didn't understand the things you said."

"Gomen nee-chan… " Kise said.

"But… you seem like you two are really close." She said.

"We're not close!" Kise shouted.

"She seems interesting. I want to meet this friend of yours~ fufufu" she said happily.

"Onee-chan! Stop fooling around!" Kise shouted.

"Alright, alright. Aahhaha….Ryouta, I am not a psychic and I can't definitely read minds." His sister said. "Guys are way different than girls, and as I girl, even if I am your sister; I still don't understand you that much."

"But Ryouta, I have never seen you react this much because of a girl." She stated.

"Uwa—That's just because, you know... she's… different."

His sister smiled and looked at him; "In what way? How is she different, Ryouta?"

"Because she's weird that's why!" Kise answered.

"Ahahaha. If you say so~ But I'd still like to meet her. Aahahaha" she teased.

.

After dinner

.

Kise is in his room lying on the bed. "*sigh* A lot of things happened today." He thought. He looked at his bag and took something from the inside.

In his hand was the milk carton Yachiyo gave him. Not even opened. "Maybe I should drink this now." He thought. He was about to open it but he just stared at it for a few seconds.

"Meganekko… I saw a different side of her today." He thought. "So that's how she looks like without her glasses. She's cute but… her personality didn't change. But… she also smiled at me today… and she acted kinda nice… But she hit me multiple times. I can't believe she can hit harder than Kasamatsu-senpai… GAAAAAAAAAAHH I DON'T KNOW! "

Kise rolled and rolled on his bed until her eventually fell down. "Ouch!" He touched his head and said; "It hurts." "She's really hard to understand… I wonder if I could…I thought we were making progress but she ended up tortutring me during practice... If only she's a bit more kinder like Kurokocchi. why am i thinking about her so much anyway! " he thought.

Suddenly his phone rang. He stood up and looked at the caller's name; "Kurokocchi…" he read. "KUROKOCCHI?!" He quickly answered the phone and shouted; "Waaahh! Kurokocchi! It's the first time you ever called me again since middle school! Oh my! Ureshi~~~ Hountou URESHIII!"

On the other side of the line, Tetsuya was covering his ear. "Calm down, Kise-kun."

"I can't calm down! Kurokocchi~~~" Kise shouted.

"If you don't calm down, I would hang up now." Tetsuya said.

"EH?! Okay, I'm calming down now!" Kise shouted.

"Okay, I'm hanging up." Tetsuya said.

"UWAA! I mean…" Kise then clears throat and says in a calm voice; "What is it Kurokocchi?"

"It's about Yachiyo." Tetsuya said.

"Huh? Meganekko? I mean her? What is it?" Kise asked.

"Do you know what happened to her today? She won't tell me." Tetsuya asked.

"Uhmm… well. I don't think I should tell you…" Kise said.

"Tell me, Kise-kun. Don't worry, Yachiyo won't get angry at you for telling me." Tetsuya reassured.

"She would... kill- I mean... she wouldn't like that, she'd complain." Kise said.

"Ahh, she won't. She promised me." Tetsuya said.

"Are you sure?" Kise asked.

"Definitely." Tetsuya said plainly.

"Are you really sure?" he asked again.

"Just tell me, Kise-kun."

.

"Oh well…." Then for a few seconds, Kise explained to Tetsuya that Yachiyo was locked up in the stock room by some unknown students.

.

"Ah… I see." Tetsuya asked. "Arigatou, Kise-kun."

"Uwaa… It's nothing really. Ahaha." Kise said humbly.

"No, thank you, really. Thanks for taking care of Yachiyo." Tetsuya said. For a while they didn't speak then Tetsuya said. "I have one favor to ask, Kise-kun."

"Huh? What is it Kurokocchi? I'd do anything for you~" Kise said enthusiastically.

"I want you to take care of Yachiyo. I know it's too much to ask, but I want you to look after her."Tetsuya said.

"Take care of her? What do you mean?" Kise asked.

"As you already know, she doesn't tell me when bad things happen to her... And the incident today. That's way too much to ignore. I want to know the things that happen to her and keep her out of trouble but I can't always do that. So I just want someone to keep an eye on her. You don't have to be with her every minute, just tell me when something's wrong."

"Don't worry, Kise-kun. She already agreed with the idea." Tetsuya added.

"SHE DID?!" Kise shouted in surprise.

"Please Kise-kun. Take care of her. It's just on school hours and at your free times only. And also until your second year starts." Tetsuya said.

"But she… she doesn't…she won't like it. To follow her around..." Kise tried to say.

"I didn't say anything about following her around. But if it's much of a trouble for you, it's okay Kise-ku-"

"Ahh no! It's not that it would bother me a lot. It's just that. I don't think she would like me to follow her around."

"I didn't say you will follow her around…" "Wait a second Kise-kun." Tetsuya said. "Yachiyo, you are not against it right?" Tetsuya asked.

Even if the voice was small and timid, Kise still heard Yachiyo's voice say; "H-hai, of course, Tetsuya."

"Oh right, she can't say no to Kurokocchi. cousin complex." Kise thought. He was trying hard not to laugh.

"Did you hear that, Kise-kun?" Tetsuya said.

"Y-yes, I heard." Kise was covering his mouth so he won't laugh out loud. "She can't say no. Fuwhahahaha" he thought.

"Tell me when she gets in trouble. And also you are free to scold her if needed. You can do anything as long as it's for her own good. And if she goes against it, tell me." Tetsuya said.

In the background you can hear Yachiyo saying; "Chotto! Tetsuya! Isn't that—"

"Hmnn? What is it Yachiyo? Any problem?" Tetsuya asked.

"Ahmn… No." Yachiyo answered timidly.

Kise was trying hard not to laugh and he even covered his mouth tightly.

"So it's settled, Kise-kun?" Tetsuya asked.

He tried his best not to laugh and exhaled; "Yes, Kurokocchi. I'd do it. Follow her around and make sure she isn't in trouble."

"I didn't say anything about following her around ... But, Arigatou Kise-kun. " Tetsuya said.

"Okay, Kurokocchi. Ja ne."

They both hung up afterwards.

Kise then jumps to his bed and laughs out loud. "FUWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHHAHAHA." He laughed so hard that he's crying now. "I wonder what will happen tomorrow."
