Never Lose You Again

By green goddess

Chapter 3- Thoughts



It was already July. Fuuko had moved in with Tokiya last June. They were getting along quite well in a respectful manner.

They walked to school together, went home together…but they didn't talk that much..

The fan girls of Tokiya were absolutely, positively jealous of her! Whenever the two would arrive in school, they would all run there to the location of Tokiya and surround him. Fuuko then would be pushed away.

Of course…she didn't mind. She just waved her hand as a sign of goodbye to him and ran off to her classroom.

Meanwhile, Tokiya tried to get away from them; some he gave glares, others he talked nastily at. He admitted to himself that he would rather spend time with the bunch of monkeys than with these brainless girls.

Finally, when Tokiya's fans were gone thanks to the ring of the school bell, he walked off towards his classroom.

'Calculus…is SO boring…' Tokiya thought to himself as he listened to his teacher teach math.

Being known to be very intelligent, Tokiya of course, learned it already, so he found it quite easy and boring to learn it again.

So…he entertained himself by thinking about the past months…particularly the month when the UBS was held.

He thought of his battles, Recca's battles, Domon's battles, Koganei's battles, how Yanagi sacrificed herself to be the prize…

Hmm…who was missing?

Ohh…the hot-headed monkey…

Fuuko.

His mind wandered into a certain memory of a battle that Fuuko had with the pervert Fujimaru.

Then it went off to the time when he opened the door to the bathroom when Fuuko was there…

'Tokiya! What the heck are you thinking?!'

'You're becoming a pervert, aren't you?!'

'Stop that!!'

He shook his head so wildly that finally everyone in his class was looking at him.

"Mr. Mikagami, is there a problem?" his teacher asked.

Tokiya looked at him, a bit embarrassed and said, "No, sir."

"Okay then."

His teacher went back to the blackboard and began teaching again.

Tokiya then decided to listen to him.

Yanagi and Fuuko were talking as they were proceeding to the canteen. Chatting about school, teachers, malls, sales in shops, etc.

Nothing too personal and all…except one topic.

And again, Yanagi was the one who started to talk about it.

"So…how are things going with Mikagami-senpai?"

Fuuko, who had her hands behind her head, looked at her questioningly.

"Why do you ask?"

"Oh…nothing really. Just to start a conversation probably."

"Oh. Fine."

Yanagi dropped her head as if the answer Fuuko gave her was not the one she was looking for.

So she tried again.

"Are you irritated when his fans stampede across the campus just to crowd around him?"

"No. Not actually." She said thoughtfully. "But I do feel sorry for him going through that every single day."

"All the girls who worship Mikagami-senpai are jealous of you!" Yanagi exclaimed with a slight grin on her face.

"Why?" Fuuko asked innocently as if she really didn't know why.

"Because you get to walk to school with him and go home with him! They think you're lucky! Real lucky!"

"Lucky?!" Fuuko raged. "They think I'm lucky?! I would LOVE to exchange places with any other girl who worships the snowman!!"

Yanagi sweated. Then she said nervously, "O-okay Fuuko! I was just asking!"

Fuuko was still breathing heavily. Steam was going out of her ears.

Finally, she calmed down.

Yanagi then resumed to talking about the same topic.

"But aren't you jealous?"

"Nope."

"Even a bit?"

"Uh-uh."

"A teensy weensy little bit?"

"Absolutely not."

"Oh…"

"It would take a billion years before I even admit that I like--!"

"Like who?"

Someone else other than Yanagi interrupted her.

Fuuko turned around and saw Tokiya behind her.

"Mi-chan!"

"Mikagami-senpai!"

Tokiya greeted them back. "Good afternoon. Like who, monkey?"

Fuuko was turning red again, not because of embarrassment but of frustration.

Yanagi, who saw this once again, decided that they should go to the canteen already. So she said, "Ah…w-we should get going now! See you later, Mikagami-senpai!"

And she dragged Fuuko away from Tokiya.

'Hmm…weird.' He thought.

Then he also proceeded to the canteen.
