Chapter nine part two:

"That's the Italian store me and my friends always go too when we go through the latest tittle-tattle, it has really good food. Right around this road, there's a fancy eatery called News Café; don't go there, awful food…" Akemi sustained to tell Fuka, Sana, Aya, Tsyoshi and Yuta about the places around town. Infrequently, Akito would help Akemi out but he was too busy staring at Sana. And Sana was too busy staring at Akito. They both knew they were staring at each other, sometimes Sana smiled, sometimes Akito raised an eye brow but then they would go back to the faces they had first and carry on staring. The staring almost malformed into gazing.

He has such striking, bronze eyes. I wish I could tell him that…Sana thought and smiled.

"What?" Akito asked her, as she smiled. "Nothing." Was her gigglish reply. "Yes, it's something. What is it?"

"I can't tell you."

"Just tell me."

"Why do you want to know?"
"What if it's important?"

"It's not that important."

"It could be, how would dense girl like you know?"

"I'm not dense! Maybe a little, but the way you say it..."

"No, I can name a LOT of times you have been dense"

"Name three times when I've been really, super dense!"

"Fine, in the 6th grade we went to the field trip to Tokyo tower and you spilled fruit juice on me and-mfmm" He was cut off by Sana's hand. Sana clasped her palm on his mouth so he wouldn't say it. She knew exactly what thing he was going to say. After she spilled fruit juice on him, he kissed her. He stole her first kiss. She called him a pervert and stuff, but he what he really meant was that he liked her. He kissed her again in Christmas, she still didn't get it. And then on the rooftop during middle school, she still didn't get it. After Sana and Akito got together, akito had told her all the facts and called her dense for not understanding.

So, yeah, Sana knew what he was getting at. The only reason she stopped him was because Akemi was there. Hello? Akito's girlfriend?

"Fine, I won't say it. Jeez." He smirked and calmly slapped off Sana's hand. At this, Akemi turned around and raised an eye brow. "Say what?"

Sana amplified her eyes and panicked. She always had known to dread at something so stupid.

"Where is it?"Akito asked Sana.

"Where's what?!?" She exclaimed in a jumpy tone, jumping up and down.

"That thing you always take out."
"Oh you mean this?" She took out her rubber mallet and handed it to Akito who walloped her on the head.

"Thanks." Sana mumbled, she calmed down and stood still, rubbing her head.

"No, what are you guys talking about? Like, what did Sana not want you to say?" Akemi was looking at Akito. Sana tried her best to sidetrack them both, but they weren't falling for her tricks. Fuka and Aya caught on with Yuta and Tsyoshi. They had heard the whole tête-à-tête between Akito and Sana. Of course, they were use to their standard flirting. Except they were both with other people, so it seemed odd.

"Then it's going to wreck the surprise." Akito muttered, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Akemi raised her brow. "Oh what surprise?" It seemed as if Akito had it all considered out. "Your birthday surprise. For your birthday which is in two days time." Sana became dot-eyed and stopped in mid-jump; everyone else fell from where they stood anime style.

"Say what?" Fuka asked in her osakan accent. "It's my birthday in two days; my parents are not here or anything. So I'm just going to spend time with Akito and my friends." She blushed, smiled, and looked at her feet. Whoa, Akemi was shy.

Babbit: They were only talking about her birthday, what's up with the blushing?

*Everyone glares at Babbit*

Babbit: I'm never wanted *cries and stumbles away*

Me: MUWAHAHAHAHA! O0o0oh, back to the fic!

"Hey look! An ice-cream parlor, let's go stop and get some ice cream. "Aya said thoughtfully. Everybody approved and went in to the charming little place to get some ice-cream. As they waited in line, they heard Akemi wave to a guy across the room with another girl and say "Hi!" They all looked at the boy; he had black kind-of prickly hair with blue eyes. And the girl beside him very long dark coffee hair with big adorable green eyes.

The boy and the girl walked up to Akemi and smiled. "Hey Akemi." The boy greeted. "Hi." The girl plainly said, pleasantly.

"Guys, this is Yuki." Akemi told Sana, Fuka, Aya, Tsyoshi and Yuta, gesturing to the boy. "And this is Lora," She then gestured towards the girl. Yuki looked somewhat Japanese but Lora was Canadian, or at least they thought because she was wearing a shirt with the Canadian flag on it.

"Yuki, Lora, this is Tsyoshi, this is his girlfriend Aya. And this is Sana. There all childhood friends with Akito. "Akemi was being very gracious to this boy. Sana looked at Akemi for a sec, there was something in her eye that told her something was not right. She then glanced at Akito who didn't even have a tip-off of envy on his face. Funny, whenever Sana was with Naozumi, Akito would get jealous like hell.

"Nice to meet you." Aya said by the book. "Your Japanese right?"

"I am." Yuki replied. "She's Canadian, read the shirt." He chuckled at his own little joke and looked at his watch. "We have to go now, bye." Yuki and Lora waved to them and walked out of the automatic doors. Fuka gave Akemi a puzzled look. "You guys are friends?"

"Ever since childhood." Akemi sighed. "Oh, he's dating Lora." She smiled and took her ice cream cone before heading out the automatic doors, the rest shrugged and followed.

Babbit: Eh? Where was Naozumi in all of this?

*Akito karate chops Babbit's head*

Me: He'll be back; I didn't mention anything on purpose. And I didn't invite nosy, annoying, bunny bats like you in my fic!
Babbit: Except I'm not a bunny bat, I'm a Babbit!

Me: Not only that you're unwanted too!
Babbit: *leaves and cries*

"I guess we have to go to the park now." Yuta said. Everyone nodded and headed to the park.

This was getting more and more motivating.
