Chapter 42: Hanase Kiyota!
Kiyota Nobunaga lazily went up to the doorstep of the Sakuragi Household. It was raining really hard, and it was about midnight. The lights were out but Kiyota don't mind it. He knocked on the door loudly enough for Hanamichi to wake up.
Hanamichi opened the lights and angrily opened the door crying, "IT'S MIDNIGHT BAKA!" he then noticed that it was Kiyota, it irritated him more and demanded, "Why the wild monkey idiot of Kainan is here?"
Kiyota answered, "I want to speak to Veniz!" Hanamichi shook his head and said, "You can't! It's late and she's asleep! Go home Kiyota!" Kiyota didn't moved, instead he gave Hanamichi a look and said, "Please. I need to speak to her!"
Hanamichi was taken a back, Kiyota's eyes were full of sadness and tears were building up in his eyes. Kiyota grabbed him by the shirt and exclaimed, "Common, Sakuragi! I need to talk to her! Please let me talk to her! I beg of you!"
Hanamichi struggled away from his grasp; Kiyota fell to the floor saying, "Please."
"Onii-chan? Who's there?" a voice asked. Kiyota looked up and saw Veniz in her pajamas. "My angel.." Kiyota whispered. Upon seeing the drenched Kiyota on the floor, Veniz gasped and exclaimed, "Kiyota-kun! Kami-sama, you're drenched!"
Veniz went up to him and helped him up. Hanamichi sighed and said, "I'm going to get him a towel and an extra shirt!" with that Hanamichi disappeared from his room. Veniz smiled. She then helped Kiyota to the living room and sat him on the sofa.
"Doushite Kiyota-kun? Daijoubu?" Veniz asked brushing off the wet bangs off Kiyota's face. She gasped as she saw tears coming from Kiyota's eyes.
Kiyota looked at her and said, "Please don't tell me you've chosen Rukawa my angel? Please don't tell me that Sendo; Fujima and Hanagata gave you up because they all lost to Rukawa? Please tell me it's all a lie!"
Veniz was stunned, she couldn't speak, and she looked away without a word. Kiyota then replied, "So it's true! I knew it, the way Sendo shook Rukawa's hand at the game." Veniz held his hand and said, "Gomenasai Kiyota-kun!"
Kiyota stood up saying, "I refused to be defeated Veniz! Not by anyone! Especially to Rukawa! I'm not giving you up! NEVER!" Veniz stood up and exclaimed her voice pleading, "Onegai Kiyota. please.."
"NO! I love you Veniz! How could I give you up? I love you!" Kiyota exclaimed hugging Veniz. Veniz pushed Kiyota slowly away from her saying, "Forgive me Kiyota. I didn't mean to hurt anybody. but I love Kaede!" Kiyota took a step backward, shaking his head in disbelief.
Veniz sat down and said, "Please understand Kiyota-kun, it is better if you let go, because if you don't I'll just hurt you, I don't want to hurt you, so please, Kiyota. hanase!" Kiyota hung his head down and asked, "Is that why the other's gave you up? They know they'll just get hurt?"
Veniz nod her head. "I'm not afraid of getting hurt Veniz! I don't care of getting hurt!" Kiyota exclaimed kneeling down at Veniz. Veniz gave him a look with tears in her eyes and exclaimed, "But I do! It will hurt me if I hurt you by just loving Kaede! I don't want to see Akira-kun, Kenji-kun, Hanagata-kun and you to get hurt because of my decision. So please accept that I could not love you but as a friend!"
Kiyota sobbed. Veniz hugged him saying, "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!" Kiyota shook his head and said, 'It wasn't your fault my angel! Never was! I'm stubborn and because of it, I'm making you cry!" he then stood up forcing a smile and said, "Your brother will kill me for making you cry!"
"You bet you're dead you wild monkey!" Hanamichi exclaimed throwing him a towel. Kiyota took off the towel off his face and said, "Thanks!" Hanamichi shook his head and handed him a shirt and said, "Just have this washed and returned to me tomorrow baka!" with that he gave him a smile and said, "You're good Kiyota!" with that he disappeared again in his room.
Veniz stood up and said, "You'd better change or else you'll catch cold!" Kiyota nod his head. Veniz showed him the restroom for him to change into Hanamichi's dry shirt.
After he had changed, Kiyota had all his tears dried and his heart all understood.
"I'm so sorry Kiyota." Veniz replied. Kiyota hushed him and said, "Stop saying that my angel. I'll accept defeat, I just hope I'll heal and well, I hope another angel like you comes into my life!"
Veniz smiled and said, "There will be another angel Kiyota-kun, trust me!" Kiyota smiled back and said, "Gomen ne for barging in here in this hour, gotta go then. Arigato Veniz. ja!"
As Kiyota left the house, Hanamichi went out of his room saying, "Only Rukawa is left! There is no point asking when will you tell him that you've chosen him!"
Veniz could only smile at this. this time there is no confusion anymore.
