CHAPTER II: MANY POINTS OF VIEW...



ZOFJYA AND TORU HANAGATA'S POV:


"Zofjya.. why did you so far avoided mentioning the challenge to Airiz-kun?" Hanagata said

"Oniichan, I'm worried about her...really she's still a little sick... she's not yet recovered fully...she might..." Zofjya said worrying

"Don't worry...she can handle herself...I know she can...her eyes tell me that!" Hanagata said

"Yes, I see her eyes glistening with fire! she's really up to the challenge! Oh...demo...I still..." Zofjya said

"Daijobu...! She'll do it!!! I trust her! Both I and Kenji-san trust her. We also know her current condition. But whatever it is her eyes shows her great determination never to be stopped by anyone" Hanagata said

"Yes. I know that. I trust her...very much!" Zofjya said

"Then that's good! I guess it'll be alright." Hanagat said smiling

"Yes" Zofjya said also smiling

"Then let's go home...I bet we'll have ice cream for dessert...hehe" Hanagata said as he teased her sister.

"Oh! Yurunesai! Oniichan! But maybe... ice cream for dessert...good idea!" Zofjya said slapping his brother.

"Then stop worrying and hurry up!" Hanagata said "hehe! You're worrying about her also!" Zofjya said laughing and catching to her brother. " Oh! Alright!" Hanagata said grinning

And both of them went straight home...




AIRIZ SOUMA AND KENJI FUJIMA'S POV:



"Airiz-kun...Airiz-kun..." Fujima whispered to himself breaking the silence between them.

"Hai? Nande?" Airiz asked turning to Fujima

"Ah...gomen-nasai! hehe... I thought you weren't listening..." Fujima said smiling

"Oh...What is it then?" Airiz said

"What?" Fujima said a little puzzled

"You were calling my name.. What is it?" Airiz asked Fujima

"Well I was just thinking...About tommorow...well" Fujima said slowly starting to mention the challenge to Airiz. Fujima was expecting a frown and silence from Airiz but he was surprised that Airiz's cheerful face was not faltering. She was still smiling.

"Well, What about it?" Airiz said smiling

"Well, Zofjya-chan told me and Toru-san that you were still sick..." Fujima said slowly

"Daijobu! Daijobu!" Airiz said turning to Fujima again.

"If you're worrying about the challenge, I'll be fine" Airiz said cheerfully

"Then..I will not worry...I trust you..." Fujima said smiling at Airiz too

"Hey, did you know why we were waiting there? Where you & Zofjya-chan saw both me and Toru-san?" Fujima suddenly asked Airiz

"Iie.." Airiz replied.

"It's because Toru-san and I were really there to go cheer you on. Zofjya-chan said that she'll be doing something and that she'll go home late. But Toru-san knew she was going with you. So we waited there. Toru-san told me that he wanted to cheer you on with me. We both told Kazushi-san but he blushed and told us he's gonna do something else. I, myself wanted to see you since Zofjya-chan told us you were sick. But Zofjya keeps on nudging us and shaking her head when we come to tell you about the challenge." Fujima said as he explained while Airiz sweatdropped

"She is very anxious about the challenge. " Airiz said still sweatdropping

"She is...but really if I were her I'd really worry..." Fujima said

"Hai! Hai!" Airiz said still sweatdropping

"Hehe..." Fujima said laughing a little.

They then walked further to their homes. They arrived first at Fujima's house.

"Well, this is my house..." Fujima said turning to Airiz.

"Well then, Sore-ja!" Airiz said smiling

"Matte...Matte... Airiz-kun" Kenji said as he went to Airiz who just started to walk away. He then placed his hands on Airiz's shoulder and said gently:

"Hey, I'll walk you home... I've got nothing to do here... no one is home because my parents are in another country having business matters settled. Cone on. It's alright..."

"demo..." Airiz started

"Come on, Airiz and besides there are perverts roaming around the streets..." Fujima said insisting that he come with this bishoujo.

"Oh, alright if it won't bother you..." Airiz said sighing and then smiling.

"Yeah.." Fujima said still not taking his hands off Airiz's shoulders. After a few minutes they started walking towards Souma Family Manor, where Airiz lives. When they have reached the place, they both stopped in front of the huge gate.

"You better enter or Akito-san will be really really mad at you. It's late." Fujima said as he turned to face Airiz.

Akito is Airiz's older brother. He is a university studentin the mos elite school in the country.

"Arigato, Fujima, Kenji!" Airiz said turning to Fujima and smiling.

"Hai! Just go inside and rest up...tomorrow's a rather big day... You better rest..." Fujima said smiling nicely

"You're so nice, Ken-chan, Arigato...ja!" Airiz said as she hugged Fujima. Fujima surprised, smiled

"Mata ashita ne!" Airiz said happily as she broke from hertight hug.

"Mata Ashita ne!" Fujima said sweetly smiling.

Airiz waved her hand as the gate of her home was opened and she was met by her servants. Kenji also waved his and smiled. After Airiz disappeared from sight, Kenji started to turn and walk towards his own.




RUKAWA KAEDE'S POV:

"Tomorrow's the day... Airiz-kun...hope she's alright...' Rukawa said while he was lying in his bed.

"I should've postponed this...if only...if only...she never knew of my plan..." he continued telling himself.

"Doesn't she know...doesn't she know...Ore wa...Ore wa..." Rukawa said stopping at each word.

"I am worried about her...I always want her to be alright...O hope everything will go well tomorrow..." Rukawa said

"Ai...Aishi..." Rukawa said before he slept soundly

The night was so calm and peaceful everything is going well as expected...

The sky is filled with diamonds...stars... And when the dawn broke a new day rises...
