Chapter 5: Undecided (And I don't mean Coffee Orders)

"I think that the do'aho is somehow attracted to Sendoh-san. Maybe that Hentai has a chance after all." Rukawa whispered to Miyabi, while the two tall young men were ordering at the counter (=Sendoh: Why do you have to make it self-service? -_-+++ =Yuki: Why not? Teenagers nowadays. *sigh* Too much comfort. =Sakuragi: Nani? You are younger than me! =Yuki: I'm of same age, baka. ^^;;; =Sakuragi: Ore wa TENSAI! =Sendoh: ^_^;;;). "E? Oni- chan? How come?"

"Just now. We were talking about Sendoh, and then he said that my eyes resemble his. Except of a somehow almost similar color, I can't imagine any other similarities." "What if he likes YOU?" Miyabi asked slyly and Rukawa sweatdropped.

"No way that do'aho's falling for me. It's Sendoh we're talking about."

"Sokka. Do you think we should help them out a little? Say, you are Sakuragi-kun's best friend, and Akira Sendoh is my half-bro, which is a rare coincidence." Miyabi said, taking a sip of her cappucino. Rukawa looked at her longingly.

"Another hentai."

"Iya. Just haven't been seeing you eating for a long time. And why should we help them? Don't be such a busybody." Rukawa said softly. Miyabi blinked. "Why not? I'm just curious. Aw, c'mon. Besides, I'm drinking, not eating." The two stopped conversing as Sendoh and Sakuragi went to join them at their table.

"I never knew that you love Mocha so much, Sakuragi-kun." Sendoh gave him another smile. Sakuragi's eyebrow twitched. "I don't tell my tastes that much. And. why did you ordered the same as me?" "I want to see how your taste is like." Sendoh took a sip out of his Mocha Ice.

"Not bad. I usually drink Latte though."

"I don't care ne," Sakuragi felt helpless as Sendoh was flirting with him non-stop. Miyabi noticed his uneasiness and turned away Sendoh's attention by "accidentally" spilling some milk on Rukawa's lap. The latter looked at his lap blankly. "Now my legs are white. Arigato gozaimasu, Fuyuzawa-san." Rukawa glared at Miyabi before running to the bathroom.

"Gomen ne." Miyabi sweatdropped, and so did Sendoh and Sakuragi. "Oni- chan, can I talk to you for a while? Outside?" Without a word, Sendoh and Miyabi went back to the entrance and Sendoh leant near the door. "What do you want to say?"

"Oni-chan. Sakuragi-kun obviously doesn't like the direct approach. Give him some time. I don't think he really accepts guy-guy relationships." Miyabi said quietly. "I believe that Sakuragi would like you one day. I'm certain. A woman's instinct is never wrong." Sendoh's eyes lit up, with hope in his eyes. "I thought that he would never accept himself being a homosexual."

"He would, in time." "Seems that Miya-chan is the relationship expert, ne?" Sendoh smiled. A group of girls who were walking by were swooning and blushing and some shrieking "Bishounen!". Miyabi sweatdropped as most of them were glaring at her. "I'm his SISTER! What's with the tension here?" Everyone sighed in relief. Three more sweatdrops appeared. At that same moment while they were talking, Sakuragi and Rukawa were talking as well.

"Nani? I like that hentai?" "Do'aho." "E?"

"You do, obviously. You just couldn't accept that. Spend some time and think. You'll definitely find your answer." Rukawa muttered, his expression. well, expressionless. Sakuragi sighed, "Hai. And anyway. I remember Anzai-sensei said that you lack something, isn't it? You are on your way, already. And now, I have to find MY own answer."

Rukawa fell silent.

"Kitsune, you lost Miyabi once, and you found her again. You lost your senses after. well, your incident, and found it again. You have found many things you lost. But now, I feel lost myself. Is that the reason that I've been dumped by fifty girls? That I'm destined to be gay?"

Rukawa kept silent. He was glad that Sakuragi had some headway about his thoughts, but he still felt a little upset, seeing a very good friend and partner so downcast. "Sakuragi. You have to calm down and think with no haste. But I have an advice. If you have found the Thing you love and cherish, do not let them go. Even if it comes back to you, you would be hurt very deeply, and I can tell you that it is not fun." The red-head's did not expect this kind of advice from the previous cold, icy Rukawa Kaede. This one had changed to a much better person. Oooh, and thanks to the sudden appearance of basketball girl.

"I'll try." Taking a last gulp of his Mocha Ice, Sakuragi bade Rukawa farewell and to both Sendoh and Miyabi at the entrance. "Why is he leaving so fast?" Sendoh looked at the disappearing figure, feeling a little hurt. Miyabi shrugged.

"Maybe Kae-chan made him mad?"

"Iya. They were talking calmly a while ago." Sendoh stared at the empty space dejectedly. Rukawa came out. "I did not make him mad. He only needs some alone time. Anyway, I've paid for the drinks. Let's go home. Since you're going home with Sendoh-san, I'm leaving you with him. Jaa!" Rukawa hopped onto his bicycle and before he started to paddle, Miyabi stopped him and pecked his cheek. "Ja ne, Kae-chan."

~OWARI~

Author's Notes: So, Rukawa CHANGED eh?

Personally, I'll prefer his previous icy personality.

Not that I like icy guys in real life though, but

I find him. more kakkoii. ^_^;; No matter.

I just wanted to include more dialogue

For him here, so I "changed his personality".
