Chapter 12: Confession

7:45 AM Girl's Dormitories

Misaki Yata's P.O.V

Asuka ran to her bedroom after saying goodbye with a kiss on my cheek. Instantly my face flushed and i stood there for a while 'Why do you always do that out of nowhere!?' I blushed again and went back for where I came from.

When i arrive to the bar I saw Anna sitting at the bar, I greeted her and sat down too. I had breakfast, since I hadn't eat when I woke up. Sitting in the bar i thought 'That silly not breakfasted anything today. She will starve in class. That happens for falling asleep. '

"What are you thinking Yata-chan?" Kusanagi leaned against the bar and saw the boy deep in thought.

"Ah, Don't show up out of nowhere Kusanagi-san!"

"I was standing here for a while, so what are you thinking?" He asked interested.

"In nothing." He looked to the side, avoiding the answer.

The blond saw him and had an idea of what he might be thinking, but remained silent. Although he started talking about a similar topic to bother him. "You know Yata-chan, I noticed that's no longer difficult for you to talk to Asuka-chan as the first time we met her."

"W-Why you say that now?" He almost splashes what he was drinking, startle by his comment.

"Well she is the first girl with whom you feel comfortable, right?"

"T-That's not true, I act like anyone in front of Anna, and 'She' is part of the clan now so it's natural act normally with her."

"Yes, it's true, but I think it's different with Asuka-chan." He prepared an evil grin. "Only yesterday you two embraced each other so lovingly." He said mockingly.

Yata choked with the food at his words. "* Cough, cough * N-No, we didn't hug l-lovingly!" even with shortness of breath Yata contradicted. "And-And I wasn't the one who held her first!"

"But if I recall you hugged her very strong yesterday Yata-chan." He continued playing with him.

"I-It as for the moment, I-I'll never hold her!"

Anna saw them discussing. While Izumo was calm bothering Yata who was nervous and she couldn't help smiling.

Izumo saw her laugh and went to her, "Tell me Anna, do you like Asuka-chan?"

"Yes, I like Asuka." She said with an innocent smile.

"See? Anna is honest. Why can you say that you like Asuka-chan?"

"It's easy for her, they're both girls."

"So you can't admit it because Asuka-chan is a girl, huh?" Kusanagi never tired of bothering him, by the reactions and shocks that gave Yata, and so were for a while.

Yata went out to patrol on his skateboard to see if he could find the searched Yashiro, or something that could help find him.

After a few hours out and having found nothing, he went to the bar again. This time Anna was sitting on the couch with her red marbles on the table trying to find traces of Isana Yashiro. Some of his colleagues were already at the bar too. Yata left his skateboard at the entrance and greeted upon entering.

After days waiting to know the location of Yashiro, Anna opened her eyes and said "He's in Ashinaka high school." With her soft voice.

Despite hearing this so unexpectedly, Yata reacted immediately to information "Kamamoto let's go!" He said leaving the bar with his skateboard excited.

Very quickly they came to the island where the school was. They stand up on the entrance they saw they needed a PDA to pass. Fortunately two guys were close. They don't take long to take their passes and leave them running scared.

"How do we use this?" Yata asked with the PDA in his hand. "What a nuisance. Let's go"

"Yes," kamamoto replied using their passes to enter.

Inside the school they asked several persons, in several places if they knew the guy who they showed them on the phone, some fleeing unanswered and others simply denied having seen him. When Kamamoto saw two girls passing by said:

"Let's ask them Yata-san."

The boy refused immediately without turning "Let's Move."

Suddenly they saw two students near a fountain, they were away from everyone, even though the place was immense. Yata saw and approached them. As he approached he noticed that one of those students was a girl, but it was too late,so he walked on to ask the guy if he had seen the guy on the photo. Kamamoto followed him afar as Yata had advanced enough.

"Oi, you two..." he said as he approached, but couldn't finish the sentence because he noticed that the girl who was with the boy was Asuka. "Asuka? Why you are alone with that ...?" again not finished what he was going to say, he hid behind the wall quickly 'Is another confession?! How many times the guys confess to her!? She wasn't lying when she said she was popular.

Kamamoto reached him and saw him leaning against the wall. "What happen Yata? Let's ask those students."

Kamamoto was about to jump out at them, but Yata, grabbed him and stopped him in time and pull him back again to where he was behind the wall.

"What's up?" He said in a tone of voice annoying to not understand why he did it.

Yata put his hand in his mouth covering him. "Shhhh, speak quietly or they will hear you." He said shouting softly.

"Who?" he asked softly, but before hearing the answer, they heard the voice of the girl:

"What is it?" they heard the girl say.

"It's Asuka-san!" he exclaimed softly. "If is Asuka-san why we hide?" but the next thing they inevitably heard was:

"Asuka-san like you." That answered his question.

"He is confesing to Asuka-san!?" Kamamoto exalted, but because of where they were he couldn't let them find him. "Yata we should not be listening to this. Let's go." He said, prompting the boy to get out.

"I-I know that, but if we move they'll know that we were here listening. When Asuka leaves, we run to the opposite side. So she will not see us." I said that, but part of me wanted to make sure she was okay after what happened yesterday.

We had no other than stay in our place and wait they finished talking. We felt very uncomfortable to hear what they were saying. Asuka was taking a long time to answer. 'This is taking longer than yesterday. Just reject him and... 'I realized that yesterday didn't take that long to give an answer, but this time she was taking too much time. 'Is she planning to accept?' Out of nowhere I felt a tightness in the chest, a feeling that I didn't like and I had never felt.

After a long pause Asuka replied, "Sorry ..." Somehow the pressure in my chest left my body when I heard her say that and i didn't even pay attention to what she said later. Relieved and confident that it was going to end up there I prepared to move when I heard:

"I-I like someone else."

I stopped where I was and the pressure in my chest that i felt, became stronger than before, as if I got shot. "... I don't understand ... Yesterday she didn't say that she rejected them because she liked someone ... Asuka has someone she likes?' I held my chest tightly with one hand while I felt anger and anguish of nowhere. I Really didn't want to listening anymore. My heart began to pound and hurt. 'What is this?!' I thought mad, i didn't understand it.

"H-How is he?" the boy asked.

'I don't want to know.' But I couldn't help but hear in the background.

"Do you remember seeing a guy who was not wearing our uniform, after the confession you saw yesterday?"

'¿... A guy yesterday?'

"I think so. Did he have a skateboard?"

'Huh!?'

After a while Asuka finally answered "Yes ... He's the guy I like."

After hearing that I froze in my place. My chest pressure was a little lighter, but my heart beat stronger and faster than before. My face turned red as a tomato and instantly a wave of shame and relief beat me.

'... A-Asuka ... Asuka likes me!?' I crouched on the floor and put my forehead on my knees as I laid my hands covering my neck. I couldn't bear such shame immediately. I was sure that even my neck and ears were completely red and there were smoke coming out of my head. Nor i could control the stupid smile that formed in my face and forced me to clear it covering with my hand. 'W-Why am I so happy a-about this!?' I feel like a fool. My heart beat through all my body. I never felt that way, ever.

Kamamoto was beside me and didn't understand what was happening to me "What's wrong Yata-san!?" He shout softly.

I couldn't move from my place so I had to keep listening helplessly.

"So you like that dwarf."

'Who are you calling dwarf!? Damn you!'

"Yes, he is not as tall as you, but ... he's a good person, he cares for his colleagues and friends, he's loyal and proud of his team, and despite being violent, stubborn and impulsive, he has a tender side." Asuka replied sweetly and sounded happy as she spoke.

My heart was going to pierce my chest, i couldn't bear to hear those things about me coming from her any longer. I rose immediately with my face the color of blood and I walked out quietly and quickly.

Kamamoto saw me flee and was alarmed, but he followed me making little noise as possible. When we now turn away from the scene, Kamamoto reached me and started asking.

"Why did you leave Yata-san? We were going to stay until they finished talking to not listen to us... But who would have thought that someone would confess to Asuka-san, and she is have a person she likes, also they said something about a dwarf with skateboard... " after finish the sentence he turned to me.

"Wh-What are you watching!?" I shout nervous that he'd noticed.

"Yata why is your face red...?" just then Asuka appeared.

"Yata, Kamamoto what are you doing here?"

"Oh, hello Asuka-san." Kamamoto greeted her, as if he had not seen her before, I was so nervous I couldn't even see her face, "Anna told us that Isana Yashiro was here, so we came to get him."

"Really? I didn't see Yashiro in school today either, so I'll help you look." She offered enthusiastically.

"That would be great, because we don't know this place and it's immense."

Asuka smiled knowing that she would be good help. So we started to walk again "By the way how do you get here?"


Well, i had problems with this particular chapter because the most important parts didn't save, so i had to 'rewrite'. Basically i wrote what i remembered and the 'essence' of what i wrote first. Anyway leaving that aside.

DUN DUN DUUN I hope that you have taken by surprise about the same situation from two differents points of view, because that was the idea (I don't know if it worked XD)
