HighSchool Of Dead
If Things Were Different
Chapter 4: Heating things up!
Miyonji and Saya got to his house and walked inside. When they got inside they noticed that no one was home. "I wonder where they are." Miyonji said. Saya looked around the house and smiled "They probably went to my house; I spoke to your mom before I went looking for you so she probably thought we would need some time alone." Miyonji walked into the kitchen and noticed a note on the table. He picked it up and began reading it.
Dear Miyonji,
Your father and I will be staying at with the Takagi's for the night. You and Saya must have a lot of catching up to do, so we'll leave you two alone for the night. Make sure to cook for her, you owe her that much. Anyway, I love you and I hope you two are okay now, I'm rooting for you both!
Love Mom.
Miyonji smiled and put the note way before walking back into the living room where Saya was looking at the pictures of Yuka on the wall. He saw tears form in her eyes and walked over to her. He embraced her and held her tight, the warmth of his body calmed her down and she sniffled a little.
"I'm sorry…" she said.
Miyonji looked at her "Sorry for what?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow. "I treated you so wrong when you were going through all this pain." She said as she looked down. Miyonji grabbed her chin and brought it up gently with his hand and looked at her.
"It was my fault, I'm a big jerk just like you said. Everyone told me to tell you and I didn't listen, Instead I kept it from you and hurt you. I'm sorry Saya, I truly don't deserve someone like you." He responded.
Saya buried her face in his chest "That's right you don't…" She said as she looked up at him "But you have me anyway, and I won't let you leave again." She smirked.
Miyonji smiled and held her tight. "I need something to change into, my clothes are soaked." She said. Miyonji sighed and looked at her "Your clothes are still in my room you know."
Saya was shocked by this, "You kept them?" She asked. Miyonji nodded "Why would I get rid of them?"He asked.
"But…" Miyonji put finger to her lips and smiled "I held on to the thought of us one day getting back together, even if we didn't, I wouldn't get rid of something that belongs to you." He explained.
Saya looked into his eyes for a moment and then smirked "You better not… Or you'll be buying me more Mr Money bags." She teased. Miyonji smiled nervously "Nice car you have out there." She continued. Miyonji chuckled a little and turned around "You go get changed, I'll be up there in twenty minutes with food." He said as he started to walk into the kitchen.
Saya watched as he walked into the kitchen and then walked up the stairs. She took a turn and walked by two doors and opened the third one which showed the bathroom. She walked inside, closing the door behind her and opened the closet door where the towels were. She grabbed herself a towel and a wash cloth and closed the door. She then undid her clothes and dropped them to the floor before turning the shower on.
She took out the ribbons that kept her ponytails together and let her hair down. She walked inside the shower and let the water hit her face and the rest of her body. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the warm water. 'He was suffering all this time…' She thought to herself.
She opened her eyes and looked to the ceiling as the water continued to hit her 'He needed someone to be there for him. He's been going through all this pain by himself for a whole year… I can't let him do that anymore' she thought to herself.
Once she finished washing up she wrapped towel around her body and opened the Bathroom door. She could her Miyonji cooking down stairs and knew it was safe to walk out of the bathroom and into Miyonji's room.
When she opened the door she noticed that it was clean except for 2 shirts that were on the floor. Saya sighed and picked them up and put them into his dirty clothes basket. She walked over to his dresser and opened the drawer which revealed her clothes. She smiled 'Just the way I left them.' She thought to herself as she pulled out a white Tank top and black and white basketball shorts along with pink panties and bra.
As she put them on her cell phone started to ring in her bag. She reached into her bag and picked up her phone. She noticed that the caller ID said 'Shiko' on it. She answered it and held the phone to her ear. "Hello?" She said.
"Saya is everything all right?"
"If Miyonji did not tell you the truth, I'm going to really pound him."
Saya could hear a second voice, which sounded exactly like Alanze. "He told me everything. We're okay now." She responded.
Shiko sighed in relief on the phone "Saya, I'm sorry for not telling-"
"It's okay, I understand the situation, and it's in the past now I'm not mad." Saya stated. Alanze smiled "Where is he now?" She asked.
She looked at the door and sat down on his bed "Down stairs cooking, I'm staying at his house tonight." She informed them.
Alanze smirked at this "Taking that next step huh?" She teased.
Saya's face turned completely red at this "What! NO! Dammit I'm hanging up." She said. Shiko and Alanze laughed at her comment "Okay, Okay we'll talk to you tomorrow. You'll be going to school with him right?" Shiko asked.
"Yeah most likely." She responded. Shiko nodded "Alright we'll talk to you tomorrow, bye Saya." Shiko said. "Don't be too naughty now." Alanze added.
Saya growled in annoyance "Shut up, bye." She said as she hung up the phone.
She then looked for the remote and noticed that it was on his dresser. When she walked over to the dresser she noticed an Ipod sitting near the remote. She picked it up and turned it on "Why do I have a feeling I'll see nothing but Rap music on it." She said as she started searching through the Playlists. She noticed one that was named Miyonji's Demo.
She raised her eyebrow and opened the playlist. The songs were in order and the first song was called 'Downtown.' She put on the tiny headphones and turned up the volume.
She clicked on the song and it started to play. Miyonji's voice could be heard in the song. She listened to the song and it sounded like there was pain in his voice. She was about to sit back down until certain lyrics came on.
"Phone just RANG heard somebody got got
He was over in his school last thing that he heard six shots
He ain't gettin' no love from the cops, nobody got caught
Real talk when I heard who it was, heart damn near stopped
Somebody done killed my brother, now I gotta get back
Let 'em know 'cause somebody gotta feel that!
Sitting shotgun with the shot gun
When you hear the shots come, buddy don't run!
Already bad, it can only get worse
Hand full of steel 'cause the shit still hurts
Cut so deep when they put him in the hearse
Never saw 12, had to put him in the dirt.
No one told me life would be this way!
I swear nobody told me
Guess this is the game we chose to play
Crazy how it's always been the same!"
Saya's eyes went wide as she heard this; Miyonji had made a song about the murder. The music continued to play on and she listened to it through and through. Then there was a skit at the end of the song where Miyonji sounded like he was in an interview.
"That is a month I will never forget, I can never forget it. That day… I had just walked my girl home from school. I came home and Takashi and my other friends were there waiting on me, and he told me…" The sound of Miyonji's foot stomping the ground could be heard followed by a sniffle, indicating that Miyonji was beginning to cry. "He told me somebody killed my brother man… and from that point on it was always like… man… it's either this or that, and I can't choose that route…. Somebody got to survive."
The track had ended and Saya was lost for words. He just poured his heart out and it sounded so sad. Just as she was about to hit the next song Miyonji walked in. He noticed that Saya was using his Ipod and smiled "Listening to songs huh?" He asked. Saya gave him a sad look "Miyonji, I heard the Demo."
Miyonji looked at her and sighed before smiling "I leave you alone for a little bit and you're already going through my things?" He asked. He walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder "At those times I was really hurt, I didn't know how to handle him being gone. I wanted revenge, but of course I didn't get it." He explained.
Saya leaned her head on his chest which made him rub her head "Everything's going to be alright, now that I have you back in my life." He responded. Saya nodded and looked at him "I have the food ready in the living room, let's go watch some TV and eat." He said.
"Okay." Saya responded as she followed him out of the room and down the stairs. The two shared a peaceful meal while watching a movie. As they sat on the couch Miyonji's phone started to ring. She watched as he picked it up and looked at the number, he picked up and spoke.
"Takashi, what's up?" He asked.
"Everything alright with you?" Takashi asked with a hint of worry in his tone. Miyonji nodded "Yeah I'm fine. Saya and I talked and I told her everything, she's with me right now."
"Dude that's not fair! You knew I wanted her!"
"M-Morita!?" Miyonji asked in shock which made Saya look at him with a hint of curiosity.
"I'm here too, I hope you're not planning to bail on us."
Miyonji sighed "No Imamura I'm not bailing on anyone. I'm sorry I left without telling you both, I was just so upset and fed up that I just wanted to escape it all." He explained.
"We all understand, don't worry." Takashi assured him. Miyonji smiled "Thanks guys." He replied.
"Miyonji how about we all come over for a little, I'm bored and I need something to do." Morita said. Miyonji looked at Saya who was focusing on the T.V at the moment "Come over… uh I don't know" He said nervously.
Saya had heard all she was going to and grabbed the phone "He's with me tonight. Takashi you and your friends will have to reschedule, bye." She said as she hung up his phone. Miyonji looked at her in shock but she just raised an eyebrow "Don't give me that look, we just got back together and you're already talking about hanging out with your little friends." She said.
Miyonji shook his head "I was going to tell them not today, I swear." He replied. Saya nodded "You better." She responded with a smile. Miyonji smiled back and leaned towards her; the two shared a passionate kiss and embraced one another.
The next day at school Miyonji's car pulled up in the school's parking lot. Shiko, Rei and Alanze noticed this and were about to run to the car until Miku beat them to it. "Miyonji baby!" She exclaimed as she ran to the driver seat. The hood was up and the windows were tinted so she couldn't see inside.
"She is such a slut." Alanze stated. Shiko nodded "She sure is." Shiko added which made Rei laugh. The window to the driver seat rolled down and revealed Saya who shocked not only Miku but Shiko and the others. "What do you want slut?" Saya asked as she rolled up the window and shut off the car before getting out.
"W-Why are you driving Takagi?" Miku asked in shock.
Saya sighed at her "It's none of your business, but if you must know , my 'Boyfriend' said I could drive it." She explained.
"B-B-B-Boyfriend!?" Miku asked in shock.
Miyonji nodded "Yeah, Saya and I are couple again." He informed her.
This did not sit well with Miku as she growled loudly and stormed off. "Bye Slut!" Alanze yelled. "I can't believe Saya got to drive that sexy car." She mumbled under her breath and Shiko nodded in agreement. Alanze then walked over to Miyonji and Saya and smiled "Well Miy Miy looks like we're sister now." She teased.
Miyonji glared at her not liking her joke too much, "If you're trying to be an asshole it's working." Miyonji stated.
Shiko laughed and put a hand on Miyonji's shoulder, while Alanze was distracted by laughing at her own joke, Shiko leaned towards his right ear and started whispering. "If you want to get her back just say 'behind you' trust me it'll work, do it now." She whispered.
Miyonji nodded not all to sure but he'd do anything to knock her down a peg, he smirked "Hey Alanze look behind you." He said. Alanze giggled "Whatever you're planning it's not going to-"
As she turned around she stopped dead in her tracks when she caught sight of one person she was frozen and couldn't move. Her eyes widened and her lips parted her heart seemed to freeze over.
'Kohta Hirano.' The gun nerd and over all junk food lover, few friends but for the most part a loner.
Alazne stood in a trance; she looked like her soul had left her body. Miyonji saw this and was shocked as he waved his hand in front of her face and she didn't say a word or move a muscle. "Alanze, Alanze!" He called out but there was no response.
Shiko smirked. "It's no use, she's gone." Miyonji rose a brow.
"I don't think that's healthy." Rei said slightly surprised as she rose a brow at the situation.
"Rei I need to talk to you for moment."
Rei turned round and saw Hisashi standing behind her. She smiled and nodded "I'll see you guys a little later. Make sure she's okay by that time." She giggled before walking away with Hisashi
Takashi Imamura and Morita walked up on the scene and Morita rose a brow, while Takashi grumbled little from seeing Rei with Hisashi. "What's up with her?" Morita asked. Shiko motioned towards Kohta who had his nose stuck in a gun book.
Morita flailed. "You've got to be kidding me! Really?!"
Saya was shocked by this as well, and looked at Shiko "Please tell me, it's not over that fat-"
"It sure is Saya, she's got the hots for Hirano. Found out yesterday when you two left." Shiko said.
"And you didn't stop her?!" Saya shook Shiko and the girl shrugged. "What was I supposed to? She froze up just like this, it's impossible to get her back."
"Really?!" Morita shouted out again, "That babe, for that?!"
"I hate to agree with him but Morita's right, this is disgusting. I didn't think she could get any more stupid." Saya growled and walked in front of her supposed best friend who was still frozen like a block of ice. "Wake up idiot!" She slapped her across the face. Miyonji winced, "I know how that feels…" He muttered quietly.
Alanze blinked and her green eyes locked with the honey brown ones of Saya. "Oh hi Saya."
"I've been here idiot!" She slapped her again and she held her face. "H-hey what was that for." Saya wasn't having it folding her arms across under her breasts. "We are going to have a little chat… There is no way in hell that my best friend is going to fall for a pig." Alanze looked at her and blushed speechless.
"Oh c'mon Takagi, fat people need love too," Imamura shrugged and Morita fumed. "NOT WITH HOT PEOPLE!"
"Oh c'mon guys it's kind of cute!" Shiko added nervously and Miyonji looked at his friends. "You guys are just not fair." Takashi nodded.
"C-can we change the subject please?!" Alanze looked down trying to avoid Saya's eyes that were burning holes through her skull. Everyone simultaneously began to laugh and Alanze looked down embarrassed and began to run away blushing bright red.
Not seeing where she was going, Alanze had bumped into a certain gun otaku and fell to her rump looking up and dark brown locked with emerald green. Her eyes widened and her heart beat froze, she couldn't move. His brown eyes trailed down to her open legs and his heart beat began to race as his nose began to bleed he held out his hand to help her up.
"I-i'm sorry i didn't see you!" He squeaked and she just stared at him her face burning bright red.
Saya face palmed. "She's hopeless…" Saya stomped over and everyone else watched the show.
"Man where's the popcorn when you need it." Imamura grumbled and Morita fell to his knees. "How does he get to see that before I do!?"
Saya gripped Alanze by her arm and yanked her up. "Don't you dare look at her you fat pervy otaku." She turned on her heel and dragged Alanze away. "H-hey Saya, you didn't have to be so mean to him."
Saya glared at her. "Don't make me smack you again." Alanze stayed silent and looked down and back up at Kohta wiggling her fingers goodbye. He stood there utterly confused.
Saya was about to scold Alanze for being in love with a fat ass when the school bell rang, and if there was anything that could make Saya shut up was school, or Miyonji and Alanze was saved by the bell.
Later that day, Miyonji, Saya, Shiko, Morita, Imamura and Takashi were walking to their class together. Takashi looked down a little which Miyonji spotted easily. He knew what was on Takashi's mind and felt bad. Miyonji got the love of his life back but Takashi did not receive the same treatment.
"Sueenji…"
Miyonji turned around to see Hakami standing behind him, with Saeko by his side. Miyonji turned his whole body around and looked at him "Can I help you?" He asked with an annoyed tone. Hakami didn't say a word, he just observed Miyonji, which was getting to Miyonji.
"What?" Miyonji asked. Hakami closed his eyes and sighed as he crossed his arms "So you're not as weak as you was yesterday, what changed you all of sudden?" Hakami asked.
Miyonji raised an eyebrow at his words "Weak?"
Hakami nodded "Weak indeed, every time I saw you, you were looking at the ground with that stupid expression on your face. As a matter of fact, that was the same expression you gave me when you walked out on our battle in the Tournament." Hakami stated.
Miyonji knew exactly what Hakami was talking about, Miyonji did in fact walk out and forfeit their battle in the Kendo Tournament. But that was behind him now, it was time for Miyonji to start a new life with Saya.
"I was going through things at that time. If you're upset with me for forfeiting, then I apologize." Miyonji said. Hakami opened his eyes and looked at Miyonji who had serious expression on his face "You apologize? So this is how you are originally, I thought that now that you aren't sulking it would bring out the toughness in you. But I'm still seeing the signs of a weakling, so you're just a weakling at heart." Hakami said with a icy tone.
Alanze glared at Hakami "This guy's a jerk." She growled. Takashi walked towards Miyonji while looking at Hakami "I think you're going to far, Miyonji is no-"
Miyonji had cut Takashi off as he held out his hand signaling them to stop. "Trust me Soriejji, I'm far from a weakling. I walked out on you because i was going through things and i wasn't at my best. But I'm here now, and I'm feeling pretty damn good. If you want I can take this bag off and prove it to you." He responded.
Hakami didn't say anything once again and began walking passed Miyonji following suite. "We will fight, but not here. We'll fight when the time is right." He responded
Miyonji just watched as Hakami and Saeko walked down the hall. "What other problems do I have to deal with?" Miyonji asked. Saya sighed "You brought this upon yourself, you should have fought him at the tournament and this wouldn't have happened." She responded.
Miyonji just sighed, not really wanting to argue with her. "He does have it out for you though." Imamura stated.
"Excuse students, this is your principal and I have a major announcement. It has just been confirmed that The Talent Competition won't be hosted in this school, instead it will be at the Divarrei Center. It's also been confirmed that Mr Jerry Danes will be having the competition streamed on world wide television."
The students in the school cheered as they were excited for their school. Mortia laughed nervously as he looked at Miyonji who sighed. "Well, looks like we're going to be on TV, not a big deal right?" He asked as he started to sweat.
"Morita honey, are you having seconds thoughts?" Shiko asked. Morita shook his head nervously which made her smile "It sure seems that way to me… and what about you mr popularity are you scared?" She asked as she looked t Miyonji.
"No way. I'm going to see this thing through all the way to the end." He responded. Imamura put a hand on Miyonji's shoulder and smiled "We got this in the bag. We're going to win the whole thing." He said. Miyonji smiled and nodded at his statement.
"I wouldn't bet on it."
Miyonji sighed as he recognized the voice he heard. They all turned round to see Tsunoda and Miku standing behind them with their team. Takashi smirked "I'm guessing you think you're going to win it?"
"Of course, Black Rose doesn't stand a chance against us." Tsunoda said. Miyonji laughed "That's funny, in the auditions you went out of your way to diss me in front of everyone, yet the whole gymnasium was cheering for Black Rose. Funny thing is, even you could see that I wasn't myself at that time, and yet we still passed through the auditions with flying colors. But you went all out from the very start. I wonder what will happen if i go all out."
Tsunoda growled after hearing that. Deep down inside he knew it was true, Miyonji wasn't acting like himself and still had the whole crowd cheering for him. "Dammit." He muttered. The two glared at one another not saying another word.
"Guys you should both settle down. I mean you guys aren't the only teams in the competition." Alanze said as she stood in the middle of them. "Besides there's another team you should be looking out for." She stated.
Miyonji and Tsunoda raised an eyebrow "and what team would that be?" Miyonji asked. Alanze smirked as Shiko walked towards her and stood beside her "Our team, Team AWH!" The both said in unision. Miyonji and the others were shocked by this. Every single one of them were speechless. All they could all muster up to say in unison was "WHAT!?"
Alanze scratched the back of her head and smiled nervously "What?" She asked. Saya walked over to her and put her hand on her hips "What do you mean what? Why didn't you tell us earlier that you and Shiko were in the competition?"
"Well, I had things on my mind you know?" Alanze said as she played with her fingers. Shiko smirked "Yeah, we know Hirano was on your mind." She teased. Alanze blushed "Stop it Shiko!" She whined.
Miyonji looked at her "How in the world did you pass?" He asked in disbelief. Alanze huffed and glared at him "That's rude, you act like you're the only one that can sing." She pouted.
Miyonji smiled and sighed "Will you just tell us, how this happened." He said. Shiko smiled "Well we signed up yesterday morning when we arrived at school. You guys had left so Alanze and I headed to the gym by ourselves."
(Flash Back)
People gathered in the Gymnasium and sat in the chair and the bleachers. Teams were auditioning and giving it their all. Shiko and Alanze stood outside the Gym waiting to be called. "Are you ready?" Shiko asked. Alanze nodded "Yeah, it should be no problem, right?" She asked.
Shiko smiled and looked at the door "I don't know, I mean after seeing Miyonji and the others go at it the way they did, It's going to be hard to keep up with that." She responded.
Alanze nodded and looked down thinking, Shiko noticed and rose a brow. "What's up?" Alanze bit her bottom lip. "Well, I don't have any pain to sing about or anyone to diss, I'm kind of scared that my performance will be lacking the passion." She looked up to see Shiko thinking.
Alanze sighed and turned around "Forget abou-" She was cut off when she bumped into someone. Almost falling back Alanze grabbed the closest thing to her and pulled on it. Stumbling she fell right back into the person she had bumped into. She looked up to see Kohta Hirano, she had never seen him before and being so close to someone shocked her, but before she could say anything Kohta grabbed her by the arms.
Kohta helped her to keep steady as he backed up and bowed. "I'm sorry i didn't see you there i was lost and i didn't know where i was going and-" He noticed she wasn't saying anything. He looked up and Alanze's green eyes locked with his brown ones.
He was so polite even though it was clearly her fault, his eyes made her heart skip a beat as he waved his hand infront of her. "I'm sorry!" He shouted again and bowed again, she stepped towards him and grabbed his shoulders gently and pulled him up. "H-hey, it's okay." The boy sighed in relief and bowed again and walked away.
Alanze stood there in a trance like state her hand rested on her chest as she tried to calm her heart beat.
Shiko watched the entire scene take place and rose a brow. A girl didn't act like that for a complete stranger and if she was anything like Saya, Kohta would've been smacked at least twice. Shiko walked up next to Alanze and folded on her arms. "You know, normally people look away after the conversation is over… and don't stare."
Alanze whispered, "Who is he?" Shiko rose a brow, was this really happening. "Kohta Hirano," She paused. "Saya calls him the fat ass gun otaku…" Alanze ignored her. "He's beautiful…" She whispered balling up her fist on her heart. Shiko smirked, "Found your passion yet?" Alanze turned to her eyes bright realizing what just happened, "Let's go kick this competition in the ass!"
Shiko nodded and laughed as the two were announced and ran on the stage, Alanze grabbed the mike as her eyes scanned the audience and bit her lip as she saw him sitting a few rose backs and then the music hit.
"This is a little something from the Angels With Heart~" She smirked.
"I mean everything that I say,
From the bottom of my heart.
I will never , never ever hurt you
I open my heart.
Open my heart
Give it to you,
Tell the whole world that i'm in love with you
whatever you want
Baby i'll do
I know I don't want nobody else but you.
There's nothing I won't do
to spend my life with you,
i'll give my all to you…"
She sang from the heart meaning every word she said, for the first time in her like she had fallen for someone and it wasn't about his appearance just by his simple act of kindness she wanted to know him, she wanted to know everything about him and make him happy. She wanted to be with him, regardless of what others might say or think appearance meant nothing it was the heart she had fallen for.
(End Of Flash Back)
"You just had to make it hard for us didn't you? I swear you two are assholes." Imamura complained. Morita sighed as Shiko and Alanze threw up the victory sign. Miyonji smiled "Don't celebrate just yet. I don't care if I have to go through New age or AWH I'm winning this thing, I have my reasons." He said.
Alanze smirked "We'll see about that, I have my reasons as well." She responded. Tsunoda looked at them both and laughed "Your reasons don't matter, the fact still remains that New Age will dominate anyone who stands in our way."
Sparks were flying as the three teams were smirking at one another. Each team wanted to win badly, and neither of them was going to let up, or step down. One thing was for sure this competition is going to be one to remember.
Chapter 4 is done get ready for 5
