Fight for Love!
11th Fight: From South Summer High School I
"What if I say I'm not a gay and had that kind of intentions to you?"
What did that pervert just say?
"Hmm... Your heart is beating rather fast."
Yeah, my heart was beating extremely fast because of you, Natsume.
"You must be thinking about some perverted things, aren't you? Ha! Dirty-minded girl!"
What...?
"Natsume!"
I jerked. Someone had just called out his name. Did anyone see us in this awkward position? What would they think of us if they got the wrong idea? No, it was not like that! It was Natsume who had pulled me towards him.
I was innocent!
At the corner of my eyes, I saw a blonde walking from behind the building and upon seeing us, he stopped there, looking terribly stunned. Instinctively, I pushed Natsume forcefully but unfortunately, I stumbled and fell onto the hard concrete ground.
"What are you two doing?"
"Ru... Ruka-senpai, it is not what you think it is!" I cried as I pointed at Natsume accusingly. "He was the one who... who..."
"I was just teasing her," Natsume interrupted me.
Teasing me? What was the meaning of this? He got me all flustered and he still dared to say that he was teasing me! Unforgivable!
What was I saying again? Please forget everything I had said. I think I was not in the right mind to think properly. Thank you, Natsume Hyuuga.
Ruka looked at Natsume who was refilling his water bottle and he started laughing like his usual cheeky self, "Natsume, you should stop teasing her and return to the gym before Tsubasa kills you."
Natsume did not reply or respond. He just quietly refilled his bottle with water from the tap. It was strange. It was as if the relationship between the two of them was not as close as the last time. Did something happen to them?
"Natsume?" Ruka called out one more time with his eyebrows knitted together.
"You know what?" Natsume suddenly said with a smirk. "When you suddenly mentioned Tsubasa's name, I felt like kicking his ass. Weird feeling, right?"
"You are not the only one, Natsume." Ruka's lips curled. "I feel like punching his beloved face whenever I say his name out loud."
Maybe I was wrong about their relationship. The two guys were smirking and snickering away like they had forgotten about my existence. Furthermore, I was right in between them. They were indeed best friends.
"And I also feel like shaving Narumi's head bald." Natsume sniggered.
Ruka laughed softly. "Me either."
"Both of you are so evil," I commented with a frown. "Did Tsubasa-senpai and Narumi-sensei do anything to offend the both of you?"
Ruka pursed his lips and was in deep thought but Natsume blurted out, "They did."
I scowled at him. What was with his attitude? Tsubasa was kind and was so much better than him. I was very sure that Tsubasa did not do anything bad to them. Even if he did, they were just being petty, just like how badly they treated me because of that punching incident. I also bet that Narumi was not the type of person who liked to offend people. He might look like a gay but after working with him a few times in Special Club, he was actually a considerate and nice person.
In others words, I concluded that the two guys here were being very childish and petty.
"Ruka, let's go," Natsume said and walked away while dragging his feet lazily.
Ruka followed him behind. After walking a few steps ahead, he turned around to look at me and grinned. While doing so, his golden and flowery aura was all over his face again. I had not seen it for quite a long time. I did not know what to do but just smiled back at him with a wave. Then, he immediately turned his head back and both of them made a turn behind the building until I could not see them anymore. I stood up and dusted my skirt before leaving the campus.
Since I was quite bored and had nothing planned in mind what to do when I reached home, I decided to go to a stationery shop located near the south area of the town. It was quite far but it sold excellent quality notepads, pencils and many other things you could find there. Strangely, it also sold pet foods. I did not know why it sold pet foods but it just did.
The walk from my school to that shop took more than forty-five minutes. But hey, it was worth it because I knew that I would not regret for buying good stuffs from there.
I entered into the shop and was greeted by the shop owner. He was an old man in his late seventies but was an extremely healthy man. He used to be a Taekwondo champion during his early youth. And not too long ago, he picked up an interesting skill which was called Gekiken- Japanese Historical Fencing. Very fit, wasn't he?
"Hello Oji-chan!" I greeted him with a slight bow. "How do you do?"
The old man gave me a grin and said happily, "Mi-chan! Long time no see! I'm fine and as energetic as ever. What about you?"
"Very fine as well."
He chuckled. "Mi-chan has grown taller and prettier. I bet you must have a boyfriend by now."
"M... Me? Pr... Prettier? Boy... Boyfriend?" I stuttered with a blush. "Im... Impossible! And there's no way that I will get a boyfriend! Maybe... I will stay as a spinster forever!"
Oji-chan laughed even louder. I walked into the shop further and explored some new stationeries. After that, I purchased a few pens and fanciful notepads for myself and also for my spying job. Strangely, I also bought a packet of rabbit food. I did not know why but it was just that when I happened to walk past the pet food area, I had this urge to buy the rabbit food for Usagi. Yes, not for Ruka's interest. Definitely not…
As I was about to leave the shop, I accidentally bumped onto a boy who happened to enter into the shop. I stumbled a few steps backwards and fell onto the floor with a loud thud.
The person stared at me with a disgruntled look and growled, "Gosh! Look at where you are going! Blind bat!"
His voice was so intimidating that I shivered with fear. His eyes were staring down at me in a angry manner and his lips were pursing tightly. If looks could kill, I would be dead by now.
"Sorry," I immediately said very loudly. "I didn't mean to bump onto you. It was just an accident! I'm very sorry!"
"Koko-chan! Don't bully Mi-chan!" I heard Oji-chan shouting from the counter.
Oji-chan walked over to us and immediately apologised to me. I did not get it. Why was he apologising to me when he did nothing wrong?
Worst of all, Oji-chan suddenly stretched out his wrinkled arm and within a blink of an eye, that arm was already on that boy's stomach. I guessed he punched him because that boy let out a loud yelp and muttered a few curses under his breath.
Oji-chan withdrew his arm and smiled apologetically at me. "Sorry, Mi-chan. Koko-chan is just being rude. Oh yeah, Koko-chan is my grandson."
Oh... So that person I bumped onto was Oji-chan's grandson...
Wait...
What the...?
For so many years I had been visiting this shop, I did not know Oji-chan had a grandson! How slow could I get!
"Mi-chan?" that boy said out my nickname in curiosity and scanned my face as if to see if there was any dirt or strand of his hair dangling on my face. "Hazel brown hair… Brown eyes… Wait… Are you that famous Mikan Yukihira who beat up so many people within a minute? For real? Am I really seeing the real Mikan Yukihira in flesh and blood? Oh my gosh! Heaven really likes me! Halleluiah!"
After saying that, he raised his hands up high like what congregations would do in churches when they want to praise the Lord. Could someone please tell me why was he praising his god just by seeing me?
"Who are you?" I asked in annoyance. "And how do you even know about that rumour?"
That boy was obviously from another school. It was no doubt about that because he was wearing a different school uniform so it was slightly impossible that such a ridiculous rumour would spread to his school unless he used to study in the same junior high school as I did.
"Yo! I'm Kokoro Yome, from South Summer High School," he said and extended his hand out to me. "You can call me Koko, not Koko-chan."
Carefully, I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up. I dusted my skirt and looked at that smiley boy. A minute ago, he had that fierce look and right at this moment, he was wearing a fantastic smile on his slightly tanned face. He was just like everyone in Special Club and Taekwondo Club- having split personalities.
"Okay, I'm Mikan Yukihira, from East Autumn High School," I said as I shook my hand with him. "And you haven't even answered my question."
Koko laughed. "I know that rumour because my best friend used to study in that same junior high school as you. Since both of us are very close, we tend to share about whatever things happen in our schools. And after listening to the rumour about you, I was inspired by it!"
Why was he inspired by such a rumour? Totally ridiculous...
"Mi-chan, ignore this boy. He only gets excited when it comes to fighting and stuffs." Oji-chan chuckled.
My eyebrow twitched and I asked with a fake smile, "Oji-chan, do you happened to know about that rumour..."
Before I could complete my sentence, he cut in, "Of course, I do! But I choose to remain silent about it. Haha! The great Mikan Yukihira who had beaten many boys' asses within a minute!"
Then, he started doing some weird fighting moves and poses which would definitely be amusing if one was in a good mood. For me, I was too shock to be amused of whatever stuns he did.
Truthfully, I did not know whether I should cry or laugh. It was so embarrassing!
My birthday wish...
I had already thought of it.
Do you want to know what that was?
I wished to be eaten up by anything where I stood on and vanished from the surface of this cruel earth.
