~ Changes ~

Chapter 4: The Other Side Of You

The two friends, including Sakuragi went up to the second floor of the sophomore.

"It's Sakuragi Hanamichi! What is he doing here?"

"Is that the Sakuragi of Class 1-7? What is doing here?"

"Must be picking a fight with a sophomore"

The sophomores were afraid of the dreaded Sakuragi Hanamchi. He observed the whisper's talk as they went up.

"Class 2-1, here it is" Kou pointed out to the classroom

"Doumo Kou-chan" Kazeno smiled as opening the door

"No prob, ne, let's meet at lunch later" Kou smiled back

"Hai, ne tensai, will you come with us?" Kazeno offered

"Nani yo? Watsahi-wa?" Sakuragi pointed to himself, being absent-minded he is

Both nodded

"Nyahaha! You're lucky this tensai is feeling great today! Hai, I'll go!" Sakuragi bragged, the sophomores looked at the three

"Ehehe, well, we better get going now Kaze-chan!" Kou pushed Sakuragi towards downstairs

"Hai, ja ne!" Kazeno waved

As Kazeno went in, all the students in the class looked her.

"Ehehe, ohayou minna-san, Kazeno Shinjou dess, I'm your new classmate" Kazeno smiled weakly as waving

A brown curly hair boy went near her, observing her with chibi eyes.

"Ehehe" Kazeno laughed weakly

"Baka mou!" someone slapped him with a paper fan

"Please exuse my friend, Ryota here" she said with a bossy voice

"Daijobu" Kazeno smiled weakly again, giggling at the pained boy

"Kazeno-chan, Ayako dess, nice to meet you" Ayako grabbed her hand and shook it

"Aya-san, likewise" Kazeno smiled

"And this is Ryota Miyagi" Ayako pulled the poor boy's ear threatening him to apologize

"Gomenasai, Kazeno-san" Miyagi bowed in apology

"Daijobu, it's finally nice to meet you Miyagi-san" Kazeno smiled at Miyagi

"Eh?" Miyagi said, puzzled

"I research Kanagawa's players and it seems your point per game is incredible" Kazeno said pulling out her notes again

"Ano. ehehe, doumo" Miyagi blushed

"Are you related to Hikochi of Ryonan?" Ayako asked in chibi form * blink blink *

"Iie, I don't know anyone from here except you two, Kou-chan and tensai" Kazeno explained, counting her fingers

"Ack! Please don't say the word tensai if your referring to Hanamichi" Miyagi stuck his tongue, face disgusted

"Ah, gomen" Kazeno laughed

"You must be the new girl sensei was talking about" Ayako asked

"Hai, I just got here from the Philippines so I'm just adjusting" Kazeno explained

"Gaijin huh?" Miyagi asked, rubbing the bump from Ayako's paper fan

"Hai" Kazeno giggled

~

/Lunch/

"Oi! Oi! Kaze-chan! Over here!" Kou waved across the crowded halls

"Kou-chan, there you are" Kazeno said trying to catch her breath

"Ikuso, you're so slow Ka-chan" Sakuragi appeared

"Tensai, glad you could come" Kazeno slapped his back

The three went to the rooftop, to eat their lunch.

"Sugoi! It's so beautiful here!" Kou's eyes open in amusement

They saw the whole city from above, including the high mountains.

"Hai hai, now hayaku, let's eat! I'm starved!" Sakuragi pushed Kou to sit

"Baka! I got sushi again!" Kou looked at her lunch box

"Eh? You don't like sushi?" Sakuragi asked

"Iie, she hates seaweed" Kazeno answered as unwrapping her own

"Sugoi! I envy you Kaze-chan! You got Riceballs!" Kou's eyes turned chibi as drooling over the beautiful lunch

"Hai, I made it myself, ne have one" Kazeno offered

"Don't mind if I do!" Kou stuffed one in her mouth

Sakuragi humped angrily as turning his back, eating his lunch in peace.

"Daijobu tensai, you can have one as well" Kazeno smiled

"Doumo!" Sakuragi stuffed two

"Oi! I said one!" Kazeno shouted angrily in chibi form

"Nyahaha!" Sakuragi laughed

"Yare yare" Kou sighed, mushroom breath

"Ne, by the way you two old friends?" Sakuragi asked, food still in his mouth

"Hai, we were" Kou smiled as looking at Kazeno

* Dramatic Flashback Minna *

undernet #Japan mIRC

kou: honto? Here in manila?!"

kazeno: hai, maybe you can pick me up kou-chan ;P

kou: why not!

kazeno: honto?!

kou: demo manila's so big! Where are you anyway?

kazeno: my okasan wanted to go to Quezon, will you be there?

kou: quezon? Hai! I'm here right now, since my okasan's in Japan, my otosan had to bring me with him in a business meeting

kazeno: you do recognize me from the pic?

kou: hai, you look so kawaii, your cheeks are chubby!

*kou pinches kazeno's kawaii cheeks*

kazeno: itte!

kou: ja ne, see you at the airport!

kazeno: hai!

~

/Airport/

"What's taking Kazenoso long?" Kou complained

She was waiting in the airport for Kazeno

"Wait a minute! That's her!" Kou spotted her as holding her pic

"Kou-chan, is that you?" Kazeno asked, putting down her luggage

"Hai, nice to finally meet you Kaze-chan" Kou smiled

~

"Eck! I have the black coffee!" Kazeno spitted out the bitter coffee

"Here, try this, it's Mocha Cappuccino" Kou offered her drink

"Yum! It is good, maa you should have told me before, I never been here to Star Bucks you know" Kazeno complained, her face chibi

"Gomen!" Kou laughed

* End of Dramatic Flashback * ^_^ ~ "Sokka." Sakuragi nodded

"I still hated the black coffee" Kazeno's face bittered

"I told you it was black coffee! You wouldn't listen!" Kou punched Kazeno's head gently

"Baka mou!" Kazeno fought with Kou chibily (ehehe, 'chibily')

"Baka gaijins." Sakuragi turned away, eating his lunch

After lunch, Kou and Sakuragi proceed to their classroom and so did Kazeno.

"Ch, class is so boring." Kazeno looked at the window, her face reflected upon the shiny glass. She was assigned to seat behind Miyagi

"Baka, listen to the sensei, he's the strictest of all the sensei's" Miyagi warned

"Hai!" Kazeno yawned

"Ehem, am I missing something?!" the sensei saw the two talking and he raised his thin, gray eyebrow as a vein poke out of his head

"Iie, gomen ne sensei" both said together, smiling weakly as a sweat drop fell

"Baka mou" Ayako sighed

Meanwhile, in Kou's class, Rukawa couldn't concentrate, he kept on side glancing Kou. It was the first time he wasn't asleep and was wide open. Since Kou came, Rukawa's been acting strangely.

"Ru-chan." Kou seemed worried

After class, as Kou was arranging her things, Rukawa stood in front of her.

"Ru-chan, what's up?" she asked with a warm smile

"Er. do you want me to show you around?" Rukawa asked, his voice was almost a whisper and his cheeks blushing bad

Kou smiled at this and nodded. He didn't know that Rukawa was the 'Ice Prince' she only knew the Ru-chan of Rukawa. So Rukawa himself didn't want to reveal to his old friend how much of a cold, selfish and self-centered guy he was.

~Gomen, was that an insult? Wah! Gomen! But it is true. It was boring again. I'm running outta ideas! Kou was right, it is hard to make a story! Specially a humor/romance one! Demo, I shall not give up! Nevah! LOL, well go to the next page( ~
