The Perfect Girl

Chapter 14: After-School Field Trip

Fuji, Yuuta walked down to the courts with determination on this Wednesday morning on June 4th. He had finally decided what he was going to do about that nagging voice in his head. He walked up to the team manager, Mizuki Hajime, and spoke.

"Where is Hyotei located?"

"Okay, you all know what country or countries you have been assigned." Jin-sensei said as he looked the class over.

I had been happy to realize that my proclamation on the desk hadn't been for nothing. We were actually going to have a water fight. Of course, it was educational and we were not going to be wearing our normal school unfirorms. Each of us for the colors of the flags of the country we had, also holding different sized water guns.

I looked down at myself proudly. I wore dark blue shorts with white shoes and than my white and red tank top. I was obviously the USA and Canada. I looked to my water gun and smiled even wider than I already was. The only countries with bigger or the same sized water guns as me was Russia, Germany, England, and China.

Jin-sensei explained that if you were destroyed that you would sit down and after five minutes if an ally didn't come to save you you wuld put your water gun on the ground and come back to the classroom. There was hidden "bombs", really just a few water balloons, around the courtyard. You couldn't attack allys, so I was hoping that this would be easy.

"England, run for it, China's coming around the corner!" I yelled to the guy next to me, running down the courtyard to avoid China's soaker. I dove into a bush and found a surpise.

I jumped up and tossed the water balloon to my ally,"England, catch!"

Thankfuly it hadn't burst and the boy used it on the oncoming alliance of the African countries. I sat back in slight relief that we were saved from those lunatics. I mean this with all seriousness, the group that had been chosen for that alliance was a bunch of nutjobs.

"America- run!"

I looked to see England get pelted by China in the face. I gasped and began to look around for a spot to get more water for my gun. I looked around more and was thrilled to see a water pistol lying on the ground. I ran to it and than right up to China's face,"In the name of North America, bam!"

The water pistol let out all of it's contents onto the girl-who-played-China's face. I snickered at her unhappy expression and I tagged England. We belly-bumped and walked back to the classroom with victory on our shoulders.

"Ryuuka-chan, why is your hair all wet?"

I looked to my kouhai and laughed,"We had an educational water world battle in my second period."

He shrugged his shoulders at me and took some food from my bento. If it wasn't for his interest as to why I was wet than I would have accused him of only hanging out with me for my food.

"Ryuu-chan!"

I looked down to the frantic Kishi-chan,"What is it, Kishi-chan?"

She looked from me to Hiyoshi in slight confusion. I sighed and pointed my hand to him,"This is Hiyoshi-kouhai."

"Oh, I'm Kishigami, Hana."

I coughed and the girl remembered and ran up to me, whispering in my ear. My eyes widened and I hugged her,"I'm so glad to hear that! You'll be able to get you-know-who."

I nudged her with my elbow and her face lit up ten notches of red. I laughed and looked to Hiyoshi,"Oh, Hiyoshi, do you know Ootori from Tennis?"

The caramel-haired boy nodded lightly, not looking at either of us. I shrugged to Kishi-chan and chuckled,"See, everyone knows about this Kishi-chan."

She blushed again and squirmed under my stare,"Nyeeh- don't do that."

I laughed at the girl again, she was quite something.

Fuji, Yuuta was currently walking through the gates to Hyotei. He took a guess that the girl he was coming to see would still be at the school since it had just ended. He had made sure to wear something other than his school uniform to the enemy school. He decided on a pair of blue pants and a large, red t-shirt. That's simple enough.

He was looking for anyone. He stopped, seeing someone, and was about to call out, but the guy he was going to call to turned around angrily, his ponytail moving back and forth. Yuuta decided on the next person to walk by.

"Excuse me."

Mimori, Kotone looked to the foreign face and raised an eyebrow,"What is it?"

"Do you know where Ryuuka is?"

Momori sighed and shook her head,"No, but Kishi-senpai should know. She's in the first building."

She pointed to the one behind her and Yuuta left quickly. Whatever that was about she really didn't want to know.

Kishigami, Hana banged her head lightly on the wall as she sighed, she had screwed up horribly. She had nearly embarrassed herself to death in front of Choutarou, her crush.

"Are you Kishi?"

She jumped slightly and gripped her forehead, looking to the boy speaking to her. He looked very unfamiliar. She rubbed her head and nodded,"Y-Yes, I am.

Yuuta was relieved as he asked her,"Do you know where Ryuuka is?"

Hana's eyes lit up, a boy for Ryuu-chan?

"Ryuu-chan has cleaning duty today. She should be upstairs in room 3-C."

The boy nodded and quickly went to the stairs. Hana smiled for her friend before she remembered her own boy troubles. She than proceeded to put her head back onto the wall.

"Ugh, stupid sensei and his stupidness. 'You trailed water in the hallway'. Ugh, jackass." I murmured this as I finished up sweeping my homeroom. I wasn't talking about Kobayashi-sensei of course, I was talking abut Sakuji-sensei. His jolly fatass almost got me a week's detention for nothing.

I sighed angrily and put my backpack around my shoulder. I was already wearing my shorts and long sleeve shirt, my school clothes in my bag. I turned off the lights and closed the door behind me.

"Do you always talk to yourself?"

I turned around with a glare, thinking it was someone else,"Do you have a problem with that Shi-Oh..."

I stopped to see a familiar face. It took me a moment, but I snapped my fingers when it clicked,"Fuji, Yuuta from St. Rudolph, right?"

He nodded,"I know part of your name is Ryuuka."

I motioned to myself with my hands,"Ryuuka, Simone- the best senpai ever. I swear, all of my kouhai's are begging to be my friend."

He rose an eyebrow to me, he was probably thinking that I was an oddball. I laughed it off and looked up to him,"So, what brings you to my school? Are you spying?"

He shook his head,"No, I was looking for you actually."

By this time we had led ourselves to the stairs. I glanced up to this silver-eyed boy,"Eh? Me? Why me?"

"Well-"

"Kishi-chan, what are you doing?"

"Eek!" My friend shrieked as I had apparently startled her. I hadn't meant to interrupt Yuuta, but by friend was bashing her head onto a wall.

She fidgeted like crazy. I scrunched my eyebrows together,"What did you do?"

"Nyee, I-I'll see you tomorrow, Ryuu-chan!"

I watched as she ran down the hall. Something was definetaly wrong with the poor girl. I looked back up to Yuuta as we headed for the doors,"So, why me again?"

"I want to know ho-"

"Ryuuka-senpai."

I took the papers that Kotone handed me. Her blonde hair shifted as her green eyes looked at me,"They're for the Cultural Students."

I nodded,"Ne, arigatou Mimori-san."

She walked off and I looked back up to Yuuta, but he was silent.

"Um, we probably won't have anyone else walk up."

"Well, I was wondering how you were able to te-"

A bus drove by quickly and drowned out the boy next to me. I snorted with laughter and turned right,"Come on, let's find someplace quieter to talk."

"Hm," I paused as I took a sip from my Lime Ponta,"I was only really able to describe you because of someone I know, Shishido Ryou."

"Who's he?"

I looked foreward with a blank look,"To put it bluntly, a dumbass."

Yuuta looked at me as if he had been called the dumbass. I shook my head,"I mean after the decision he made. Well, let's see. I'll start a little back more. He's got pretty long hair that he ties back in a ponytail and lately he's had this angry angst look on his face."

Yuuta immeaditely thought back to the first person he was going to ask for help. Now he was a little glad that this Shishido had walk away.

"And, when I saw you, you reminded me of him. More in some ways than others. You both had about the same response to my usual comments, a snarky one."

I paused to take a sip of my Ponta before I continued,"But the similarities ended a little bit after that. Not too long ago Shishido got kicked off of the tennis regulars when he lost a match to some captain guy from another school. I understand that it's something to be a little sad about, you know?"

Yuuta nodded, doing his best to understand what I was saying. I didn't know if he really got it, but I was going to continue anyways.

"Well, I tried to show him some sympathy since the two of us had been getting a a little closer than we had been. He ends up giving me this jackass response, and that was when I noticed that this was going to be how he was going to act for the rest of his life! So, I did what I've been wanting to since Second Grade, I yelled at him. I called him selfish and I almost called him a child, but I had forgotten that at the time." I took a moment to breath and scrunched my eyebrows together.

"You lost a match against Gawa-san, and it looked like the match had been pretty one-sided," Yuuta flinched at the comment,"but you still had that goal in your eyes. You weren't about to let that one match stop you from doing what you've been wanting to for so long. Fuji-sa-"

"Don't call me by that." Yuuta said to me sternly. I only nodded and went on.

"Yuuta-san, that is where you and Shishido stopped being similar. You haven't given up on your dream. The once confident Shishido has."

I looked down at my empty Ponta can, feeling a bit better now that I had told someone all of this. It was silent between the two of us for a few minutes. I was positive that I answered his question, I just didn't know if I had done it in the right way.

Yuuta stood up and looked down to me,"Let's go get some ice cream or something."

I snickered at him and threw away my Ponta can to follow him.

"What do you want?"

"Hm? Oh, um, Strawberry."

I looked around the small stand. This place seemed familiar. Maybe Jirou had told me about seeing his idol Marui around here somewhere. I shrugged it off and took the ice cream that Yuuta handed me,"Ah, arigatou."

"No problem."

We walked down the sidewalk together, just eating our ice creams. Though, something was nagging at me.

"Yuuta-san."

"Hm?"

"What's your goal?" I looked up to him and his eyes got hard. Oh yea, he was a lot more determined that Shishido was being.

"I used to look up to my brother, Fuji Syuusuke."

I nodded, letting the boy continue on even though I had never heard of the boy.

"When I started middle school last year I was always being compared to him, I didn't even go out for the tennis team because of it. I was always Fuji-san's little brother. I ended up transferring to St. Rudolph for this year and I became a Tennis Regular so that I can face my brother one day and defeat him."

I nodded as the boy finished, I had made it down to my cone by then. What could I say? I was a speed eater.

"That's a great goal. I would say that I had something cool like that as a goal, but my older brother's not even close to my age and I don't play sports, ehehe."

Yuuta chuckled at me and took another bite of his ice cream. We came up some an intersection and I turned to the St. Rudolph boy,"Well, my house is that way, so I guess we'll spilt up here."

He shook his head and began to go the way I pointed,"I'll walk you home."

I snorted,"Well, aren't you a gentleman."

"Well, my house is here." I said to the boy behind me and began to open the gate.

"I'll see you another time, Ryuuka-san?"

I nodded,"Yea, call me whenever you end up with a problem or a tennis match or even something really stupid. And if I have to call you Yuuta, you have to call me Simone."

His cheeks held a slight blush and he looked down to his left,"Alright, Simone-san."

I laughed,"See ya, Yuuta-san."

I closed the door to my home and greeted Salmon, remembering that Cori needed to be fed today.

Yuuta turned away from the gate and began to make his way back to his school. He had gotten what he went to Hyotei for and a little more than what he expected. He put his hands in his pockets, noticing a boy with a dog on a red leash pass by. He saw the boy's ponytail and spoke out.

"Shishido, Ryou?"

The boy stopped and turned to him with a glare already plastered on his face. Yuuta was taken aback by the look he got.

"What do you want?"

Yuuta shook his head,"Nothing, but man, she was right."

Shishido growled inside of his head and turned back around, walking Kyon past the Ryuuka residence.

Yuuta is one of my other favorites. He and Shishido are alike, especially in the looks department. I finally found a bunch of people who agree with me. They're like twins XDD.

Simone is gettiong quite popular isn't she? Naah. Of course not.

I didn't feel the need to put in many author note thingies this time. I don't know why, must just me what I was thinking. I may or may not put out another chapter tomorrow. I'm thinking about one everyday or every other day. It depends on how things go and are at that moment. I can't wait to get to this part I want to write X3. I'm ahead of myself.

Thank you to:

ZzBlack NightzZ[I love those two teams the most too! :D I like Yuuta and maybe some Tezuka on the side with 'em though. Ahahaha.]
