...Chapter 10: Please Don't Run Away Again...
"At last...I'm here" a boy stood in front of the Vongola College's main gate.
It's already July, Rica has been able to adjust and cooperate well with her classmates and teachers, even though most of the boys and some of the girls calls her "The Goddess of Beauty".
"Hmm, maybe I should wear my contacts and my eye glasses today" Rica said as she opened a blue box with a pair of red contact lenses, just before putting her contacts, a knock was heard. (A/N: the contacts and the eye glasses have NO grade)
"Who's there?" she called out, "It's me, Yuya" the person outside answered.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Rica asked, done putting her contacts and her eye glasses
"We're going to be late, let's go" Yuya said as he opened the door, "Uh-" he froze, "What?" Rica asked, blinking.
"It suits you" he said as he averted his gaze from Rica when he felt that he blushed.
"Thanks !" Rica grinned, as she put on her hairband and combed her black hair with a brush.(1)
"Well, let's go neighbor or we'll be late~" Rica smiled as she locked her apartment door and pulled Yuya down the stairs.
- in school -
"Huwa~ soooo amazing !" one of the girls squeaked as they look at the bulletin board in the lobby,
"eh-eh? doushita ?" Juuri butted in. "Rica-chan's so smart ! Look ! she's the top 1 in the long tests and the exam for 5 times a row !" the girl answered, "How great nee? I wish I was as smart and as beautiful as hers" one of the girls from the group said.
"Somehow she's the opposite of her brother" Juuri murmured as she made her way towards her locker,
"Eh?" she stopped as she saw Rica pulled out a black plastic form her bag and put it infront of her locker, while opening it very very slowly
WOOSH !
and the bag was filled with love letters, Rica sighed as she collect them, wear her indoor shoes and made her way towards the classroom, leaving Juuri with a big anime sweatdrop. "So popular...huh?" She murmured once more.
"Nee, Yuya-kun you're soooo lucky !" one of the boys shouted,
"H-ha? what's with that?" he asked as he looked at the guy
"I mean, you always come to school with our school's idol, The Goddess of Beauty, Rica Cavallone-sama~" he daydreamed
"Ain't that LUCKY ! ?" he added as he grabbed Yuya's collar gently,
"well, we're just neighbors... that's all" Yuya said adverting his gaze form the guy.
"Ohh~ then, you can see her in her nightgown?" the guy daydreamed once more, with a drool coming out from the corner of his mouth. Just then, Rica entered the classroom and said "PERVERT" with a cold stare at the guy.
"Gomenasai" he softly said and ran out of the room with a scared face. Everyone inside the classroom turned to see Rica,
"Is that you?" Lal asked, blinking. "Uhn, why?" Rica nodded
"it suits you kora !" Colonello said
"thanks Colonello !" Rica grinned
"y-yeah it suits you" Lal Mirch said as she look at Colonello, then blushed.
- later on -
"Good Morning class !" the teacher greeted
"Good Morning Yuka-sensei !" the class replied.
"Today, we have a new transfer student...why are there so many transferee these days" the teacher sighed as she look at the class,
"He also came from the Philippines like Rica-chan" she added, Rica suddenly felt a strange feeling about it.
"eh? He's a Filipio?" one of them cheerfully asked, after all, they want a classmate from the Philippines.
"Uhm, well sadly...he's not, he just studied there for one year I think" the teacher said following an 'awww' from the students.
Rica was starting to get more curiouser, it's very fishy !
"I thought we'll be having a Filipino classmate" a girl sighed sadly and some nodded in agreement,
"W-well then, I'll introduce him to all of you, please come inside" the teacher said.
The new student entered, one hand inside his pocket, and the other which was holding the bag was at his shoulder. Rica's eyes widened when she saw who the new student was.
"wYow!" the student greeted, biting a piece of orange which made his words a bit fuzzy, then he swallowed it so he can speak clearer.
"Nice to meet you all" look at the body
"I'm D Gesso" look at the face
"age 18, an Italian, Byakuran's cousin"
"Kyaaaa~ he's one hell of a hot guy !" some of the girls squeaked, D remained silent.
"but he looks kinda boring, he's expressionless and silent like Fran-san" one of the girls whispered,
"Maybe he's just nervous" the other one whispered back, "Maa, he's still hot !" the another one squeaked.
"D-kun, please sit beside hmmm...ah ! Rica-chan !" the teacher called, "h-hai?" Rica answered, visibly stuttering.
"Where's Yuya-kun?"
"H-he's in the comfort room ! Y-yeah, the comfort room! right" Rica responded, stuttering more when she noticed that D was staring at her, she gulped. WEW ! that was close !
"Anyway, D-kun please sit beside Lal Mirch-san" the teacher requested as Lal stood up, "Hai" D nodded
"Lal-san, please take care of him ok?"
"Hai" Lal answered. 'another Gesso'
"So, you're Byakuran's cousin huh? Hope we can be good seatmates" Lal said, D just gave her a grunt, an ok, what a quiet person he is...
- 3 days later -
"Kyaaa~ It's D-sama~" the girls in the hallway squeaked, D didn't mind them and continued to walk in the hallway.
"Why are you crowding herbivores?" Hibari asked as he entered the noisy hallway, just then the noisy hallway was soon filled with scared atmosphere. "Get back to your class now or I'll bite you to death" he threatened as he drew out his tonfas from his jacket. Within a second, all the girls disappear from the hallway, leaving a walking D and a standing Hibari behind him. "Oi, kimi" Hibari called, "Nani?" D responded as he looked back. "Go back to your class or I'll bite you to death" he threatened once again as he grip the tonfas firmly but D didn't show anykind of fear for the prefect but instead he answered, "I'm already going back ya'know" and walked away, leaving Hibari stunned (innerly) and gave him a smirk.
'So he's not a herbivore huh?' he thought as he walked away also.
=.=.=.=.=.=.=.=
"Byakuran!" Rica freaked out as she ran towards Byakuran,
"Why Rica-chan?" Byakuran looked as Rica who was panting. (A/N: Rica's still wearing the contacts and eye glasses)
"He's here" Rica softly said but in a panicking voice.
"W-what?" Byakuran's eyes widened.
"D is here ! Did I told you not to tell him that I'm here?" Rica said, glaring at him.
"But, I haven't told him yet that you're here and we are not talking really that much remember?"
"But, why is he here if he doesn't know that I'm here?" Rica questioned, whispering so no one could hear them.
"I dunno, maybe it's the thread of faith?(2)" Byakuran grinned, trying to change the atmosphere between the two of them, Rica just facepalmed.
"Nee, Rica-san" D called out which made Rica visibly flinch. "H-hai?" she responded changing her voice and accent.
"Are you and Byakuran in a relationship?" D bluntly asked, earning an anime sweatdrop from Rica and Byakuran.
"U-uh" Rica was about to say something,
"But you two can make a good couple..well kinda, but" D added as he cupped Rica's chin so she can look at him in the eyes.
"You look like someone I knew a very long time ago..." he added looking at her eyes as if it was glued to hers,
"Oi, don't touch my girlfriend" Byakuran said as he grabbed Rica from D and put his arm around her protectively.
"G-girl-what?" Rica whispered,
"just play along" he whispered to her ear.
"Ouh~ Sou desu ka?" D monotonely said, "Dewa, shitsureishimasu ~" he added as he excited, going to the bathroom.
"Wahh~ I can't believe that I was near to that Byakuran! That'll be the last time, I swear...THAT'll be definitely the last !" D said to himself, gripping the door handle of the bathroom for balance, shaking in anger and nervousness. (3)
- in Rica and Byakuran's position -
"Wew, that was close !" Byakuran sighed in relief, wiping his forehead like there's a sweat.
"Uhm, could you let go of me now?" Rica asked, who was still stucked at Byakuran's grip,
"Ahahaha, Sorry" he apologized as he let go of her.
"Thanks for saving me" she said. Just then, she noticed Lal Mirch looking at the both of them, and
when Lal noticed that Rica saw her, she walked off.
"Ah, Lal- !" Byakuran called out but was cut off by Rica.
"I can tell, there's something unexplainable here" Rica emotionless-ly said looking at the direction where Lal was once there.
"Huh?" Byakuran confusingly asked,
"Byakuran, you're already falling for her aren't you?" she asked, looking at him seriously,
"w-wait, I heard that question before" Byakuran recalled.
"on that Christmas Eve's night" she whispered (4)
"Y-you saw us ! ?" he freaked out,
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone" Rica grinned,
"Your secret is safe with me... Just, don't go falling to much for her, I don't want you to get hurt" she added as she walk away.
'Hn, what the heck... those words, those were the last words she told D before THAT incident, looks like I was the second one to be told by those words this time.' Byakuran grinned to himself as he watched Rica disappear in the hallway.
- inside Class A - Dismissal Time -
"Argghh ! I shouldn't feel and look that way !" Lal said to herself knocking her head again and again.
"Yo ! Lal-san !" Rica grinned, taking the attention of Lal
"Hm?" she answered,
"Have you seen D Gesso?" Rica asked looking everywhere inside the classroom.
"Oh, I saw him going to the rooftop a while ago" Lal Mirch answered, smiling
"Arigatou !"
"So, you're going to say it?" Lal asked, which made Rica stop her tracks
"Uhmm.. I think so" Rica forced out a smile
"You shouldn't run away you know" Lal Mirch said as she look straight at Rica's eyes.
"I know" Rica nodded,
"Hm, you should go now..I bet fate is waiting" Lal grinned.
"Uhn ! Arigatou Lal-san!" Rica waved
"Good Luck Rica !" Lal smiled.
- in the rooftop -
"Wew" D sighed, as wind blew his hair.
"I still cannot find her, but Rica-san..she really looks like Ri-chan" D whispered to himself.
*Rica running up the stairs*
"I wish I could find her sooner, I want to tell her something I kept for a long time but, why does she keeps on running away from me?" he asked himself, " All I want is to tell her that I-"
"D-kun !" Rica called as she open the rooftop door.
"Ri-chan - ah?" D looked back to see Rica panting,
"A-ra? Rica-san? what are you doing here?" he asked,
" D, D-kun.." Rica muttered once again,
"Ah? Why you're voice 's as same as hers?" D muttered to himself as he took steps towards her.
"Be-because..." Rica breathe in, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"You look and act like her, sound like her and...smile like her" D said removing her glasses.
"Be-because" she finally build up the courage to say.."I'm Ri-chan" which made D shocked and at the same time, confused.
"Y-you're kidding, right?" he laughed
"I'm not" Rica said as she took of her contacts and drop it on the ground, not even caring if it would break.
"Ri-chan?" D shockingly said looking at Rica's caramel eyes.
"Uhn, Gomen !" Rica apologized as tears came out from her eyes uncontrollably, making D shocked at her sudden action.
"O-oi, don't cry," D panickly said, but he hugged her tight, and Rica hugged back
"I-I'm sorry..f-for running away...I-I'm sorry" Rica repeatedly said with her sobs.
"Nah, It's okay Ri-chan..." D smiled, "J-just, please don't run away again" he added as he felt he was about to cry but he held it back.
"Uhn ! Arigatou D-kun" Rica nodded as she pressed herself in his chest and sniffed his scent... 'I promise not to run away again'
'I found her huh?...But after finding her, I couldn't find the courage to say what I really feel'
"ha~..how sweet" Byakuran cooed as he wrap his arm around Lal Mirch who was watching the scene the whole time,
"WAH! BYAKURAN ! ?" Lal blushed upon his sudden action.
"Well, they are so sweet aren't they?...ja, see ya tomorrow~ LA-L-chan~ !" Byakuran said as he kissed Lal's cheek and run away.
"Bastard" Lal murmured as she blush madly and touched her cheek where Byakuran kissed it...
"I HATE YOU MARSHMALLOW-FREAK !" Lal shouted at the top of her lungs.
" I hate you too" Byakuran grinned walking down the road...
"Tch, herbivores" Hibari irritatingly cursed as he continued hi paperwork.
