Chapter 5: Desiring Another
After that faithful day, when I confessed to Kitsune everything, I felt like a big burden have been lifted off. It really helped like the kitsune said it would. We still fight with each other but we treat it as a joke between the two of us. We worked together on court and entered the IH together.
We usually hang out together. Everybody seemed to notice but I didn't care. I was glad that someone can understand me and look behind the egoistic and childish behaviour I was showing to everyone else, even if it was the kitsune. The mask I usually put up in front of other people easily cracks when I'm in front of him.
"Sakuragi, pass the ball!!!" Ayako shouted. I continue to dribble and smiled at him. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the kitsune positioning himself towards me. I automatically passed it to him and peformed a perfect three pointer. All of our team members had their mouth agape when I saw them.
"Nice pass.." Rukawa whispered to me.
"Uhm...A..arigatou..." I stammered, my cheeks growing warmer. Why am I like this when he praises me, I mussed. There's something going on here. Before I could ponder on what was happenning to me, someone placed a hand on my shoulder. looked and saw Mitsui smiling at me.
"Good job Sakuragi..."
"Of course Michy!!!!! The tensai is always right in making in decisions... NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA........!!!!!"
"Don't call me Michy!"
"NYAHAHAHAHAHA........."
*POW*
"Nani Gori?!" I shouted while rubbing the growing lump on my head.
"Back to the game!"
"Do'aho"
"Teme kitsune!!!"
I quickly ran towards the other players, redied myself for the attack. I concentrated on the game. My other thoughts can be assessed later on. The play ended up with us winning against the seniors.
"Gori, how was that? The tensai beat you!!! Nyahahahaha........!!!!!"
*POW*
"Itai!!!!"
I walked towards the locker while I'm nursing my newly acquired lump. I entered the noisy locker room and saw that the kitsune had already showered and changed his cllothes. That was fast, I thought.
"Do'aho, I'll wait for you outside..." With that sentence, everyone lookd at me then to the kitsune, then back at me.
"Nani?" I asked out of annoyance.
"Are you two... dating or what?"
My eye went wide with the thought. The kitsune and me going out, what a crazy idea! I wanted to scream out loud that they were mistaken but I saw them grinning at me and the kitsune. I felt my cheeks burned with embarrassment.
"Where did you got that idea!" I bursted out all of a sudden.
"Well, you two seemed to be together everywhere so..." Ryota explained.
I just settled for stomping towards the shower stall and shut the door. What a stupid idea, me and the kitsune dating! And the worse explanation I got from them, sheesh! They are talking nonsense!
When I got out of the stall, nobody was in sight. Good, at least they will leave me in peace for a while. I dressed myself and went out of the gym. As the kitsune said, he will wait for me outside and he did. And he was busy sleeping when I approached him.
His face softened a bit but there was still the icy features of the kitsune. I instinctively brushed his hair that had been disarrayed by the wind. I carressed his cheek softly.
"Kitsune..." I whispered.
His eyes opened and smiled. The first smile that I saw from him and it made my heart skip a beat. His eyes was not icy anymore and I felt as if I'm going to drown in them. He was so beautiful, I thought. Matte, did I just said what I think I said? My cheeks felt warm and I looked away.
"Do'aho, let's go..."
I only nodded in response. I can't look at him anymore. I fear that if I looked at him, he would know what I think of him. His beauty that I admired.
Why did my life have to be this complicated?!?!?!?!
