"Chapter three: something familiar...?"
Cold wind blew on Hinata's shoulders as she leaned against the rough stone wall. She checked her watch...
"Eleven 'o clock PM... Gotta get home..." She walked forward slowly, and fell down, opening her still healing wound on her knee. "Kuso! It's bleeding..." She said as she stood up again.
"Oi! Kanata!? What are you doing out this late!?" A guy came out from the darkness.
"Nothing... I just needed some air." She said, not caring who the person was.
"You're drunk. /Who's Kanata?/" Rukawa appeared.
"Rukawa! You're here?" Kogure exclaimed.
"...I like practicing at night..." Rukawa said under his breath.
"Oi! Kogure! You better get back in here! Your father will be furious if you stay out too long!" Kogure's mother called to him.
"Gah... I have to go now... Rukawa-you can take care of this guy, right?"
"Whatever..."
"Ok then... see you guys on Monday!" He ran back to his warmly lit house.
"You don't need to worry about me. I just wanted some air..." She started to walk away.
"Where do you think you're going?" Rukawa demanded.
"Kaero." (I'm going home.)
"No you're not." He grabbed Hinata by the shoulder.
"Na... nani?" (Wha...what?) Hinata's eyes grew wide. She had heard that voice somewhere before.
"You're hiding something... You aren't going anywhere until you tell me... now, sit down."
"None of your business... hanase." (Let go of me)
"Iiya." (No.) He tightened his grip on Hinata's shoulder while saying this.
"I'm not saying anything." She closed her eyes and folded her arms.
"You're a girl." Rukawa said.
"At last someone noticed that."
"You weren't hiding that?"
"I wasn't hiding that. Everyone just began thinking I was a guy..."
"...You're still hiding something... I get a strange feeling whenever you're around."
"Feels strange that someone is more handsome than you? OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!! -hic..."
"I'm more relieved about that."
"Ehehe..." She chuckled as she scratched her head.
"Blood?" Rukawa's attention is brought to Hinata's knee.
"Ahh~ nandemonai..." (Nevermind)
"Anou sa... what's your real name?" He asks as he uses his handkerchief on her knee.
"A-anou... Hinata... Kidou Hinata."
"Ore wa Rukawa Kaede..."
"Why are you so talkative now? It's not like you."
"Saana..." (I don't know) He sighed as he stared at the pavement.
"...?" Hinata just looked at him with innocent eyes.
"There's something very familiar about you..."
"Zzzzz..." Hinata fell asleep beside Rukawa, slightly leaning on his arm.
"Nandemonai..." Rukawa sighed as he leaned back on the wooden bench, falling asleep himself.
