Well thanks for the readers! xD... ^-^ Oh, Have an awesome spring break though we started on monday but still...

Chapter. 21 Surprise.
I didn't really understand what was going on. By the time I had come behind Pucca I was clearly confused. I only heard something about a deal which I clearly didn't get at all.
" What did Tobe mean?," I asked.
I knew that something was wrong. I already knew something wasn't right since this morning. Pucca was looking down right now. I was still waiting for an answer to my question.
" He...He was just talking about this deal we had, but I disagreed," she attempted to smile.
I took a moment to really see her. It's not like I didn't know something was up with both of them, but sometimes I do wonder what the real deal is. With both of them.
" Let's leave, I don't want to be there," Pucca urgently said now.
" But, isn't it your party," I frowned.
" They won't mind," Pucca insisted.
I reluctantly followed her suggestion even if it seemed so unlike her. Anyway I personally didn't want to stay in the party. Something really got me thinking on what Tobe said to Pucca. It almost sounded like a threat of some kind. Tobe threatening Pucca? Well isn't that something I would both expect and not expect.
" How long has it been since you trained Garu?," Pucca asked, turning to look at me in a serious look.
I had to think back now since it's been almost forever since the last time I remember training.
" About 2 months ago," I murmured longing to go back to my regular training sessions that I use to have. Pucca frowned.
" 2 months ago...that's not good," Pucca bit her lip" Then you have to keep practicing," she said that with emphasis and sudden urgency.
" Yeah," I nod because that's exactly what I've been thinking for a while now.
" Tomorrow, You should start practicing as soon as possible to make up for all those days you missed," Pucca unusually insisted.
I did need to practice, now that she put it that way. So I guess it won't be bad to actually agree to that.
" Okay," I simply shrugged although part of me really longed for practicing again.
" Good and I'll be there," Pucca smiled.
" Wait? You're going to be there when I practice?," I asked, crossing my eyebrows.
" Uh-huh, Don't worry I won't get on you way I'll just watch," she smiled.
" Won't you get bored?," I murmured feeling a little self conscious that she'll just be watching me.
" Of course not, Remember I use to do that all the time when we were little," she pointed out.
Now that I remember I guess she's right.
" The whole day tomorrow we could practice," Pucca suggested.
This still sounds weird though. Her insisting for me to practice all of a sudden. Something more to add to the things that just somehow don't seem right.
" Are you sure?," I asked still uncertain.
Pucca nodded encouragingly.
" Of course,'' she agreed.
I guess then if she insist...
-days later-
Each day basically now starts the same. The moment I'm out the door Pucca's already waiting for me outside. Even sometimes when I'm not even up she is already knocking at the door. So we go to school and even though most of the day seems to be going the same as usual, I still catch Pucca looking back. Whenever she does that it really is starting to freak me out since I almost feel like we are being watched. That's not what freaks me out the most. It's the fact that sometimes I see Pucca having some worried or sad or just an emotion that's not angry or happy, but more afraid. I wonder if it was just because of me. Because I'm maybe too clueless to understand what's really happening. I want to ask her, but each time I try she completely changes the subject. I already went to Abyo or Ching to ask them. They don't even know. Here's the other thing, she doesn't want to be left alone. I mean each time I try to actually leave she'll automatically comes with me. Of course I knew Pucca was already clingy. I didn't need some scientist to know that. It's the way she is clinging. I swear it's like she's either afraid of something or afraid for me. Maybe it's both. I don't even know anymore. Whatever the heck it is it's really starting to freak me out. This is not the way Pucca should be acting. I've known her for years and know that when she's not happy something's wrong... I looked up and stared at her. Right now she was smiling just as if nothing was really happening. Hidden though in her smile there was some worried look. It probably fooled everyone else, but it didn't fool me. I definitely knew better than that. I wasn't rocket science.
-1 1/2 months later
Ms. Liming was announcing about some weird over exaggerated version of Les Miserables and wanted somebody to play Marius ( Hint hint; Me) and some other person to play Cosette (Hint hint; Pucca). No matter what play we have she's always wanting to put Pucca and me up on every freaking romantic play she has. What makes everything even worse is the fact that the class always seems to agree to it. The class and Pucca. I'm the only person here protesting! One romantic play is already good enough for me, I don't need any more.
" Come one Garu! We've already done it before," Pucca cheerfully said.
I shook my head.
No way...
Pucca frowned.
" Come on," she insisted.
I shake my head again.
" But it's Les Miserables Garu! It's like-," Pucca abruptly stopped talking.
I looked at her curiously. She clasp her hand over her mouth. Her face showing some sort of disgust.
Huh? Is she okay?
" I- I need to go to the bathroom," Pucca suddenly announced running off the classroom with her hand still over her mouth.
I stare after her. What was that about? Could it be that she was sick? Pucca didn't come back until the last few minutes of class.
" I'm sorry," she told Ms. Liming before heading back to her seat next to mine.
" What happened?," I couldn't help myself and ask.
" Nothing..I just was nauseated," Pucca said with a twitchy smile.
"Nauseated?," I asked frowning.
She had been perfectly fine right before that. She didn't even look sick at all. Hmm...
" What did you eat this morning?," I asked her though I wasn't really looking at her.
" Um...noddles..maybe that got me sick, Probably," Pucca murmured though she seemed to be thinking something else.
I would of probably went with that too if it wasn't for the fact that it happened the rest of the day too. I mean in every class I had with Pucca she would suddenly get all nauseated in class and she would leave all of a sudden.
?
I asked her more than once if she really was okay, but all she would tell me is that she was dizzy..
Hmm... No...it can't be...no...that's impossible. It can't be what I was thinking I mean...no it just can't happen. That's crazy. Absolutely crazy...
It continued for a couple of days. I heard Ching tell Pucca to check a doctor or something, but she didn't want to go for some reason. Whatever reason that was. I guess it wasn't until that day when I was out practicing.
" Maybe you should really check a doctor," I told her after I had just practice.
"I think it's just like food poisoning or something," She shook her head.
" Even if it was that, You still would have to go," I told her seriously worried with her dizziness and constant throwing up.
" Hey...Garu you don't think...," Pucca suddenly stopped talking again as she clasped her forehead again.
I made my way over to her.
" Pucca?," I asked concerned.
" I'm just...dizzy," Pucca fainted right after she said that.
Okay, I seriously have to take her to a doctor now. I don't know what is wrong with her? This had gone far enough already. Something seriously is the matter now. I put my arms around behind her back and lifted her up, carrying her to the hospital.
I waited outside meanwhile they checked her. I wonder what really is the matter with her...I still wonder if all of this added up to what happened before. I do wonder sometimes...
" Garu! Excellent I found you!," Ring Ring came to me with a wide smile.
I looked up at her. Huh? What did she want me for?
" Come with me Garu! It's time you found out just what your precious Pucca has been hiding from you," she laughed a while before reaching for my arm.
" What? Go where?," I asked not even understanding what Ring Ring is doing.
Ring Ring pulled me along.
" I knew she was planning something and I met up with Tobe and get this I asked him and he actually told me everything!," Ring Ring eagerly replied her own eyes sparkling as if she heard the greatest news in the whole world.
" What are you talking about?," Crazy chick, I thought personally.
" Just wait Garu! Poor you though being part of something so treacherous, but it's for you own good..oh and mine too," she laughed again.
?
I am really confused. First of all I don't know where she is taking me and now she's all poor me and what?
" Ring Ring what the hell are you talking about?," I asked her right when we came to this one door.
" Shh...listen," she pointed to the door and her smile seemed to grow wider when I heard the voice of Pucca and Tobe talking.
Huh...?
I did exactly what Ring Ring told me and I listened.
" Let's review our plan why don't we Pucca...," I heard Tobe say.
" Why?," Pucca asked.
" You didn't followed the deal that we both did... You seemed to have forgotten our deal so let me remind you...Our plan to destroy Garu."
!...What?
~~~~~Ah, Cliff hanger. -_-...Actually odd as it may sound I wasn't really expecting to end it there. I just thought I'll write until a certain time then I'll stop it there and there is where it stopped. Since I have to write down my other story also today I really had to stop it there too. xP But no worries I am planning on updating soon and also I bet you can already guess what is going on with Pucca right? The whole dizziness thing? xD haha. I need to think of a name though...haven't figured that one out...-_-.
Anyway incase you are reading Naara-no-Temari I am sorry for taking so long to update Love thy enemy! I'll working on that right next. So sorry for the that. xD I'll try updating that as soon as I post this one. xS So hold on. xD
