Should she or should she not? Tell him how he feels? Even though he acts
different these days it doesn't erase the fact that he is her brother. And
now she's about to confess her feelings to him. Wouldn't that just sound so
awkward? There were too much thoughts that landed on Chizu's mind, keeping
her awake. She rolled from side to side and pulled her blanket up to her
chin. She just couldn't stay quiet and sleep right. Wish that she could
throw away those thoughts for now and close her eyes, but it keeps on
coming back.
Chizu : (muttering) Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid…
So then unfortunately she had to spend the rest of the night with her eyes open.

Kazumi : Ohayooooo! Now let's take a bath and go to school together, Chizu- chaaan! *grabs her blanket and pulled it aside*
Chizu : (grumbling) Leave me… alone… I hadn't sleepp all day longg…
Kazumi : *grins widely like a horse* Heheheh I know… You're busy thinking about 'him' aren't you Chizu-chan?
Chizu : *stands up and opened her red eyes* Hell no…
Kazumi went off laughing while she grabs her towel and her uniforms from her wardrobe.
Kazumi : So… What are you going to do now??
Chizu : I'm not gonna confess, I'm not gonna confess, I'm not gonna confess, no I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!!!!!!
Kazumi : *sweatdrop* Eto… I was talking about this morning… Would you like to grab your breakfast first or take a bath first…???
Chizu : E…? *blush* Well… I guess I'll just hit the shower first…
Kazumi : Uh oh… Well okay then, I haven't make the breakfast anyway… Go and take a bath… make sure you'll be quick…
Chizu : Okay… *grabs her bag and walked into the bathroom*
She undressed herself and her bandages. She examined her neck, there were a little red spot just right beneath her jaw. It must've been there because of what Rukawa had done to her. She blushed and tried to rub it away.
Chizu : Oh no… If Hiroshi sees this he'll go crazy…
She shrugged and went into the shower box and twisted the knob. Water began to come out of the shower and landed onto her beautiful feminime curves and slid onto her toes. Just right after that she heard heavy footsteps coming onto the bathroom.
Kazumi : CHIZU, CHIZU CHIZU!!!!! Your brother's here to see you!! What should I do?!
Chizu : Say what?! *panics and ran out of the shower box and grabs a towel to wrap it around her body* Oh no… What should I do, Kazumi?!
Kazumi : I don't know *gasps* Oh no here he comes!!!
Chizu : What?! He's here? OH NO!!!!! What should we dooo??
Kazumi : I think you should come out, Chizu…
Chizu : But I'm not dressed yet!!!
Kazumi : Yeah but you should take a look on his face!!
Chizu : Huh?
Kazumi : Chizu… it's serious… !!! I suggest you come out immediately!
Chizu : Umm.. Wait! I'm getting dressed right now!!!
Kazumi : There's no time!! Quick quick quick!!!!!
Chizu : Uhh!!! Okay okay!!! *opens the door and rushed out the bathroom only using a towel* What the?!
There was no Sendoh Akira, there were just a stupid bolster hung on the entrance of the door with a hand-drawned picture of his face with a bleeding nose sticked onto it. Kazumi bursted out in laughter and started rolling on the floor.
Chizu : …you tricked me?
Kazumi : Oooh! You were so funny! That's why I love to be your best friend, you just make me laugh!! *rolls around the floor*
Chizu : …seriously, it's not funny…
Kazumi : ahahaha! Gomen ne, Chizu-chaann… I just couldn't help it… !!!
Chizu : *ignores her and walks back into the bathroom* (thinking) I was fooled, hell yeah… But… Why did I go in such a panic when I heard he's near me? *blushes* Is it true of what she said? I'm in love with him?
She then continued to clean herself in the shower and puts on her Ryonan uniform dress. While Kazumi take turns and use the bathroom, Chizu dried her hair and let it hung loose, so that people wouldn't spot the hickies on her neck.

The bell rang on Shohoku high. Everybody scurried out of the classroom. Rukawa as usual walked his way to the Sakura school to pick up his brothers and sisters, and after that he'll go to Ryonan to practice. As expected, Coach Taoka had his arms crossed and he stared at him. His fist flew in the air and it hit Rukawa's head, leaving a red mark on it.
Taoka : Where the hell have you been, Sendoh??!
Rukawa : *sweatdrop* I need to… take care of my younger sister, umm… she's sick… and Ka-san's not home…
Taoka : *snorts* What a lame excuse… That doesn't keep you away from attending practices! We got a big event coming up, we got a game against Shohoku high!
Rukawa : (thinking) So it's true…
Taoka : Where's your responsibility as a Captain of this team?! You can at least take the school days off but do come on afternoon practices!!!
Rukawa : *sighs* …hai
Taoka : Everybody in this team looks up to you! The freshmen *points at wussy-looking guys on his side*, sophomores, *points a Hikoichi*, and even the third-years!! *points at Koshino and Fukuda* Got that?!
Rukawa : (murmuring) hai hai…
And they practiced hard until evening. Every single member squeezed their sweats out and get a move. Taoka was yelling and hollering at those who makes mistakes, especially the rookies. Just when he dismissed the practice, Rukawa sighed in relief, thanking god that the nightmare's over. He also think gratefully to have a coach who's as calm as Anzai-sensei, not like Taoka who barks all the time like a dog.
Koshino : So are you going straight home, Sendoh?
Rukawa : *nods* Yeah…
Koshino : Whassup with your hair? Run outta gel?
Rukawa : *looks away* Bored of it…
Koshino : *jaws on the floor* Whaaaaat? I never thought about you saying that! I thought I just heard you say that the spikes are the coolest thing in the world…
Rukawa : *sweatdrop* Did I? I think I change my mind…
Koshino : Uh… Oh well I'll be going home. Ja ne, Sendoh-kun! *jogs away*
Just when he started walking home in his usual Ryonan jumper, he caught the sight of her sister walking home all by herself. What was she doing? He never thought she'd took an after school extra curriculers. Well, if so what would she take anyway?
Rukawa : Chi…zu?
Chizu looked up and stared at him. She threw her face away and tried to hide her blushing red face.
Chizu : …care if we… walk home together?
Rukawa shrugged and walked beside her. They didn't make a whole lot of conversation during their trip home, but then Rukawa finally broke the silence.
Rukawa : Chizu… I'm sorry about the other… day… I didn't know what I was doing…
Chizu : *blushes* Oh no, it's okay, Ni-san…
Rukawa : I'm sorry… you must have felt bad…
Chizu : No! No! I didn't… I don't… mind… *blushes* Oh… (thinking) I think this is the time that I should tell him…
Rukawa : *eyes larged up in doubt* …Pardon me?
Chizu : *shooks her head and looked at him with her watery eyes and red face* I think I… I think I like you, Ni-san… I don't know… Lately you just feels like a wholly different man, not like my brother… Gomen ne… It might sound strange but I truly feel this way… I don't know!!! I've never felt this way towards anybody even towards Hiroshi…
Rukawa looked away and his hand started to play around with his bangs. Chizu was expecting an answer from him, she kept staring at him.
Rukawa : *stuttering* H..how's your cut…? Is it okay now?
Chizu felt her heart was teared up. He had changed the flow of the talk, he ignores her. What does that means? Does it means that he didn't like her? She tried to get back into the topic.
Chizu : Oni-san!! Don't try to change the talk!
Rukawa : …*long silence* Gomen, Chizu… I think that I… won't be able to love you. See, you're just my sister… And I'm destined to protect you and to care for you… We were brothers and sisters, we couldn't love each other… (in his mind) I think this is the best way to answer her…
Chizu : *gasps* Ni-san…
She stopped walking, Rukawa didn't. He kept on moving and left her alone with tears streaming down her face.
Chizu : Ni…san…
Chizu : (muttering) Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid…
So then unfortunately she had to spend the rest of the night with her eyes open.
