Hiya all! I'm so sorry I haven't updated lately at all, but I just simply couldn't continue with this. This chappie is pretty awful 'cause I wrote it without inspiration, but I just had to update 'cause I felt guilty. Sorry if it seems unwell written to you. I'll do next one better, I promise.
I also put up my oneshot, "Someday I'll hear that". It would be nice if you read that, for I worked with it for a pretty long time.
Thanks:
I am no one and I stand alone: Thanks. I'm so glad to hear that.
Toukitoshi's broken heart: Really? I didn't know that somebody thinks me that high. I'm so happy to hear that.
SweetAsHoney: Yeah, you certainly encourage me. I'm so soory I forgot to ask your suggestions. Can you send them to me by e-mail, please? I'm very interesred to hear them.
Juni-Darklight: Yeah, sadly so many here like to write Ichigo-stories. I have nothing against her, but Purin is still the best. I'm happy you like this story so far.
Fenrir-ice-wolf: I'm so sorry. I hope this one is okay for you.
Applecake: I still can't believe you reviewed this story, not to mention you liked it. I'm a big fan of your stories, I've read all of them. The reason why I haven't reviewed is that I'm kinda new around here, and I was to shy to send one. Anyway, I'm very honoured to have a review from you.
Me not own TMM, okay?

Derek had had a long day planning a new training program for their school team. He had also tried to do some homework, although it was hard to focus on them if you'd spent almost all classes staring at Purin instead of listening. So he had almost all of his homework undone, and yet he was sitting in café with his friends.
And if you're going to ask any reason for this, it's as simple as this: He used most of his weekends sitting in that café because he had noticed that one special blonde usually made her way past that place when she was coming home from centre.
Derek had, needless to say, many friends, or rather they were people who wanted to be seen around him. But this made Derek popular, so he was satisfied. But unlike other Saturdays, he was unhappy and cranky. That was 'cause he had seen Purin on his way to café. But part that made him sulky was that Purin was with someone else. Or rather because that someone was boy. He had looked a year older or so, and no matter how much Derek hated to admit it, pretty handsome too. Derek had only seen how they passed him on the street. He hadn't seen did they walk hand in hand, but as he bittersweetly thought, they probably did.
"So, that little crush of you is already dating with someone?" Asked one of his friends, Terry.
"Yeah." Derek answered sharply. He was so annoyed of anything in that moment, so he couldn't find even a lightest part of friendship inside him. Tough, if you think probably, there wasn't such a feeling inside him.
And at the same time, Taruto sat just one table away from him, listening very carefully. He didn't see who the talker was, but it still made him worry.
Who is he? Some of Purin's friends, I guess. Without knowing why, he suddenly felt bad. His inner side filled with sorrow and anger.
Awww. Jealous, are we, said a teasingly little voice inside his head.
No I ain't jealous, but that doesn't mean that I'm glad or anythin' 'cause he likes about her, Taruto snapped back.
So you ARE jealous, teasing voice continued.
NO, it's just…Nah, I dunno. But I'm defiantly not jealous.
Back to Purin. After hurrying in the restroom she had just been leaning against one of sinks, blushing madly. She felt how her entire body shivered and how her cheeks burned. Just why on earth I hugged him? We're just friends, right? But she couldn't help it, she knew she was in love and she couldn't lie to herself.
She took a deep breath, put her hair on line and walked out of the restroom. She gave a look around her and when she couldn't see Taruto she realized he must have gone to have a table for them. Then she saw his head from behind. And only few tables away from him…Right after she noticed who was sitting there Purin felt like going back to restroom right away. She was used that she saw Derek and his friends at school, but couldn't they really find another café to sit than where she and Taruto were.
Gladly for Purin, Derek and his friends were already leaving, but that meant they had to walk past the restroom's door. Purin realized that too late, and so her only choice was to face Derek.

This chappie is as horrible as short, but please forgive it to me. I'll try to get next one up more quickly. And please review, although you don't need to tell me if this chappie sucks, for I know it already.
With love,
Ocean's Daughter
