Rumors

"That's pretty."

The sound of piano stopped and the dark haired senior looked at his kouhei who walked in. He saddens a bit, and his kouhei noticed.

"What's wrong Kohaku-senpai?"

"No-nothing!" he replied, a little too quickly.

She sighed at sat beside him. "Spill it."

"Spill what?"

"You know what."

"No I don't know what what is."

"Yes you know what what is, you can't lie to me about what what is!"

"What?"

"What- Agh, nevermind," knowing she lost, she looked over at the keys and grinned.

She let her fingertips sail through the keys and began playing a joyful tune. Kohaku's eyes widen in surprise and almost fall off the bench.

"What the heck are you playing Neko funjatta for?!" Kohaku yelled, trying to catch his breathe. (1)

"You look gloomy, so I wanted to cheer you up," Saki said right to the point.

"I thought you hated that song."

"I do."

"Then…?"

"Then what?"

"What do you mean 'then what'? You know what!"

"I know what?"

"Yes you know what!"

"But I don't know what what is Senapi."

"A- Oh don't start this again!"

"But I didn't start it Senpai," she said innocently. "You did."

"!- Saki-chan," he started.

"Yes," she replied sweetly.

"Get out."

"Why?"

"Or I'll throw you out the window."

"But this is the 4th floor."

"I know."

"Kohaku-senpai, is that a threat?"

"No, I'd like to call it a warning."

"Okay, since it's not a threat, I'll stay," she giggled and Kohaku smirked. Saki's smiled faded. "You wouldn't…"

"Then you don't know me that well…"

"Uh oh…"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Kohaku-senpai is mean," Saki pouted to her boyfriend and he smiled and patted her head.

"It's okay, I'm sure he didn't mean anything bad," Yukimura said to her softly.

"But he pushed me out the window! Of the FOUTH floor! And you say 'he didn't mean anything bad'!" Saki exclaimed, loud enough for the entire Rikkaidai team, who were practicing to hear. Some of them snickered, earning a glare from the buchou. "And I could be fatally injured if you didn't catch me!"

"Mitsuawa-san, we're still in the middle of practice," Sanada said to the girl. "Please retain from disturbing the practice."

Saki stuck out her tongue at him when he turned around and Yukimura covered his mouth, trying not to let Sanada hear him laugh.

"You're too cute," Yukimura wrapped his arms around the girl, she flustered a bit. "Don't be too hard on him. He probably knew I was there, he wouldn't hurt you on purpose."

"You don't know that."

He smiled and held her closer. "Well what's done is done."

"You're no help."

"I know," he smiled.

"Why is everyone so mean to me lately?" Saki complained. "It's not unfair. They act all mysteriously one day then suddenly they have a mood swing! I swear, someone is taking drugs!"

"If anyone is taking drugs, it's you Mitsuawa-san," Kirihara spoke and Yukimura laughed.

"It's mean! And you too Seiichi-kun! Don't laugh!"

"She's so cute," Yukimura said, totally ignoring his girlfriend.

"Seiichi-kun!"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Why are you spying on her Mizuki-san?"

"She seems to be the type to get a lot of guys," Mizuki smiled.

"Saki-nee-san wouldn't do anything bad!" Yuuta protested.

"Really now? Well it's not like I know who she is anyways. It's just like Fuji to get a girl like her… but I wonder, what's his 'real girlfriend' is like… Come Yuuta-kun."

"Mizuki-san, you shouldn't- wait Mizuki-san!" Yuuta shouted, trying to catch up to his senpai.

And so Mizuki is up to something…

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The next day…

"Fuji-kun!" Kosaki cling onto Fuji's arm. "Kosaki misses you."

"I miss you too," he smiled at her.

"So what do you want to do today?" she batted her eyelashes while holding on to him tightly as if she was going to lose him.

"You're clingier than usual Kosaki-chan."

"What's that suppose to mean?" she frowned.

"Oh nothing," Fuji gave her his oh so 'innocent' smile.

"Gee Fuji-kun! I'm your girlfriend! You don't have to so mean to me…" she gave him a kawaii look and snuggled closer to him. "Fuji-kun?"

"Hm?"

Kosaki blushed slightly and looked at him with her bright honey-brown eyes, which seems to get bigger and closer… Just then Fuji realized they were getting closer. He put both hands on her shoulders and pushed her away, panting slightly.

Kosaki looked surprised. "Fuji-kun…?"

Fuji looked surprised too at what he's done. "I…"

Kosaki frown. "Why did you push me away?! Is there another girl you like or something!? Answer me!"

"Kosaki-chan, I'm sorry. I was just surprised, that's all," Fuji tried to reason with the spoil brat- err, junior.

"Then I can kiss you, can't I?" her question seemed so innocent, Fuji didn't know what to say. "You owe me anyways, having your first kiss stolen by Onee-san when it's supposed to be me."

Fuji flushed, remembering the kiss back at the tennis court. Kosaki didn't seem too happy about it. "We've been going out for what? Six years, and you still haven't kissed me yet… You know Fuji-kun, girls want guys to make the first move… and I've been waiting for the first move for, um six years?"

Kosaki make it obvious to him, who was still a bit unsure. Kosaki looked away. "Fuji-kun… do you… hate me?"

Fuji looked surprised at her question, and for some reason, he slightly hesitated before answering. "Of course not."

And sealed that answer as his lips met hers.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Is that her?" Mizuka asked, spying on Fuji and Kosaki.

"Mizuki-san, it isn't any of your business…" Yuuta started but was ignored.

"Hmm… that girl looks a lot like the first one…"

"That's because they're twins-" Yuuta mentally hit himself for answering his annoying senpai.

"Twins, oh this is even better," he grinned evilly and quickly left.

"Mizuki-san!" Yuuta sighed. "Uh no… I should warn them at least…"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The next day at Seigaku…

Fuji smiled happily as he approached his classroom. Finally reaching the class 3-6, he opened the doors, only to be attacked by a mob of tennis regulars.

"Fujiko! It's horrible! How could you, nya!" Eiji cried to him, to earn a really confused look from the tensai.

"What are you talking about Eiji? And what are all of you doing here?" he looked over at the kouhei and the other seniors.

"Fuji-senpai, I would never suspect you were that type of guy!" Momo exclaimed.

"Everyone, what are you talking about?" Fuji opened his eyes, to make them calm down, and it did.

"Well…" The regulars minus Fuji paused, before Oishi spoke. "Well there was this rumor going around and we didn't believe it at first… until…"

"What rumor?"

"… That… you are a two-timer…" Oishi flushed and handed him some photos. "Theses were all over the place…"

Fuji took the photos and examined the first one, which was of Fuji and Kosaki… kissing. Fuji blushed. He looked over at the second one, he frown and a deadly aura formed around him, making his friends back away. It was of Fuji, sitting under a Sakura tree, with a brunette around his arms. His face was calm but his fist was crashing the poor photos…

"Fuji… senpai…?" the juniors looked terrified.

"Who this you hear this from?" he opened his eyes and a killer instinct appeared.

"W-well th-there w-was this ru-rumor spread all over the place b-by some-someone," the regulars are scared, but who wouldn't if your sadist friend was really, really pissed?

"Excuse me, I have business to attend to," Everyone had chills down their back as Fuji stretched 'business'.

After Fuji left, everyone let out a deep sigh and fell on the floor.

"Fuji can be very scarier sometimes," Taka whispered in case he was still there. And everyone agreed.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

At Hyotei…

"What is this!?" Kosaki crashed some photos in her hand.

"Kosaki-chan, calm down," Atobe sighed.

"How can I?! Look!" Kosaki gaved the crumbled pictures to the regulars.

"That's a pretty good photo," Oshitari smirked. "You can practically see the outline of the lips."

"Oshitari-senpai!" Kosaki cried, blushing madly.

"Sigh, Ore-sama has a headache…"

"Keigo-senpai…" Kosaki gave her sad puppy dog face. Who could resist?

"Kosaki-chan, don't give Ore-sama that face…"

"But-but…" Her puppy dog face got teary. "Kosaki is sad…"

"She so kawaii," Gakuto whispered.

"Agh," Atobe shook his head. "Fine, I'll do something about it, but don't expect much…"

"Yeah! Thank'ya!" She spoke in a cute voice and glomped him. "You're de best."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

At Rikkaidai…

"Saki-chan! You traitor!"

"What did I do this time?" Saki asked sarcastically at Nahaku.

"Saki, don't be like that," Yukimura tsked.

"But she's always accusing me of something!"

"You two-timer, I have every right to! I thought you were my friend!" She shouted.

"Two-timer?! What?!" Both Saki and Yukimura exclaimed.

"Don't act all innocent!" Nahaku shoved a photo in her face.

Saki quickly pulled the photo away and both Saki and Yukimura looked at it. Saki's face flushed into several shades of colour. How…!?

"Saki…" a gravel voice came from beside Saki.

Saki didn't dare face her boyfriend. Why!?!

"Saki…" he began again.

"Seiichi-kun, listen! It's not what you think-"

"I thought you two were getting pretty close, but I didn't think…" Yukimura sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry, I have to go home now…"

"Seiichi-kun! Wait!" Saki cried, but Yukimura ignored her.

"Seiichi… kun…"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"I think this is the right address…" Yuuta muttered.

Ding-dong

"Hello?"

"Is Mitsuawa Saki there?"

"Fusaki-sama requested not to see anyone today, I apologized."

"Agh, why now?" he looked around and started walking around the corner and spotted something… he smiled.

5 minutes later…

"Ow… err… ouch! … Ah!" Yuuta cried as he fell over the other side of the fence. "At least I got in… Now how to get in the house…"

Yuuta walked around, trying to avoid any alarms in the area. Then he spotted something… an open window… on the third floor. He shrugged. Good enough…

He found a tree close to the window and started to climb… but it was a bit diffucult with no branches on the lower part of the tree… Suddenly…

Beep-beep, intruder alert, intruder alert!

"Oh shit," he swore and ran for his life…

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Saki sighed as her long brown hair was all messed up. She lay on her bed, depressed. "Syu-kun, this is all your fault… I hate you…"

Beep-beep, intruder alert, intruder alert!

Saki ignored that. "Whoever it is the guards can handle it…"

She curled herself into a sleeping position of a cat while hugging her unicorn plushie (n/a: remember from chapter 4?). Her sea-green eyes were completely blank and she felt herself drift of to sleep…

"Wait please! I just want to see Saki-nee-chan! Wait!"

Can't sleep… Saki sighed and went over to her window to look out, she looked surprised as she saw the tensai's brother being dragged out. She opened the windows and yelled out. "Let him in!"

And guards stopped and stared at the brunette.

"Well?" Saki glared at them, making them drop Yuuta.

"Yes milady," they mumbled and stepped away.

Yuuta sighed in relief. "Thanks Saki-nee-chan."

"Yuuta-kun, what are you doing here?" Saki asked monotonously.

"I need to talk to you…"

"Pass," she said without hesitating and shut her window.

"Saki-nee-chan! Wait! Please!"

Saki opened her window. "Come up."

And closed it back again.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"What is it?" Saki asked, taking a sip of tea as they were sitting in a Japanese style in Saki's room.

Yuuta shifted around nervously on the spot. He looked around her room with wide eyes.

Saki coughed to get his attention. Which, did the trick. "Oh I'm sorry Saki-nee-chan, it's just I'm surprised you painted this room with such detail…" (2)

"Is this what you wanted to talk about? If it is-"

"No! It's not that Saki-nee-"

"Yuuta-kun, stop that."

"Stop what?"

Saki bangs her head on the table, remembering what had happened early today. Let's not start that again…

"Can't you call me Saki-chan or something?" she asked. "The 'Saki-nee-chan' is getting on my nerves, since it reminds me of that brat…"

"But-," Yuuta protested.

"No buts! Besides that, technically, you're older then me by a month!" Saki sighed and fell back, now facing the ceiling. "I'm not very 'big sister' like, y'know? Even if Kosaki acts all happy around me, I know she hates me…"

"Saki-nee-" Yuuta began but stopped when Saki glared at him. "Err… Saki… chan… I'm sure Kosaki doesn't hate you and even if she does, then there's something wrong with her! I think you're the best sister."

"Yuuta-kun?! Did you just say that," Saki's eyes widen. "You're so OOC! I remember when you were all so childish and cute…"

"Yeah, yeah," he rolled his eyes and Saki giggled.

"Thanks," she whispered and Yuuta smiled. "So you weren't hear to cheer me up, are you?"

"Err… no, sorry."

"It's okay… I guess…"

"Anyways," Yuuta began. "You might want to sit tight, it might take a while to explain…"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"This is turning out better than I thought," Mizuki chuckled.

"What's turning out better than you thought?"

Mizuki froze at that voice. He turned around nice and slowly. "Ah- Fuji-kun, what an unexpected surprised. Didn't expect you to be at…"

He looked around where he was and smiled nervously. "…the park…"

Fuji opened his eyes and smiled, creeping Mizuki out. "Miouki-san, we need to have a little chat…"

"It's Mizu-" but before he could finish… let's just say, things weren't pretty…

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

2 days later…

"Hello Water bug." (3)

Mizuki turned around slowly, expecting a certain tensai, only to find a pretty brunette… an angry one to be exact. But Mizuki didn't notice she was angry.

"I thought you were someone else," he sighed in relief after what happened two days ago… "Can I help you?"

"Yes," she put a hand on his shoulder and looked at him in a frightening way. "Yes, you can…"

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

The next day…

"Good morning!"

"You seem happy today Saki-chan," Hahuri commented while Nahaku ignored her, still angry.

"Nahaku-chan, don't be mad," Saki said quietly. "I'd fix things, everything is alright now."

"Between you and Yukimura-senpai?" Nahaku shot back.

"Of course," Yukimura appeared in the doorway, surprising Nahaku. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Saki. "It was a little misunderstanding, but it's alright now."

While Nahaku was in a deep gasped, Saki smiled at her boyfriend. "Again, sorry about that."

"I already said it's alright," he smiled and brought her closer and whispered in her ear. "I love you."

"I know," she whispered back. "I know it might seem like sometimes I'm betraying you, but Seiichi-kun, I promise, I won't ever cheat or break up with you… I love you."

Yukimura smiled, satisfied. "Yeah, I know… and I'm glad…"

"Me too."

(1) Neko funjatta is a song for beginners to learn on the piano in Japan. Kohaku is surprised that Saki would play such a song for someone who's experienced at piano.

(2) Remember from chapter 4? How the walls of Saki's room look like.

(3) 'Mizu' means water.
