This Time Around
Part 11
Later that afternoon… During practice…
Miyagi: Ne, Aya-chan, Sakuragi seems to be not in his usual self don't you think? /while watching Sakuragi practice alone in the other side of the court/
Ayako: Maybe he's got something in his mind?
Mitsui: Yeah… He's been like that since last night when I've told him about… OOPS! /covers his mouth/
Ayako: Told him what sempai? /getting more and more curious/
Mitsui: Let's go to the other side… he might hear us…
With that the three went to the other side of the court…
Miyagi: What is it then? /crossing his arms/
Mitsui: I saw Rukawa and Sendoh last night.
Ayako and Miyagi: And so?!
Mitsui: You don't get me don't you? I think they're having a date!
Ayako and Miyagi: NANI?! /getting the attention of all the people in the gym… except for Sakuragi of course… for he is deep in thought/
Ayako (waving her fan wildly): GO BACK TO PRACTICE! Don't mind us!
Miyagi: Maybe it's not what you think, Mitsui…
Ayako: I agree with Ryota. /thus making Miyagi blush/ as far as I know, Rukawa hate that guy's guts so why would she go out with him in the first place?
Mitsui: 'you think so?! Then why did Sendoh kissed Rukawa last night?!
Ayako and Miyagi: HE DID WHAT?! /again… getting the attention of all the people/
Mitsui: I hope Rukawa didn't tell Sendoh or else—
Rukawa: Or else what, sempai?
Rukawa just appeared in the scene thus startling the hell out of the trio.
Mitsui: Or else we would be in big trouble. You know we're trying to protect your image until that time you go back to your real self. That's why we can't afford to fool around.
Rukawa (lowering her head): I've already told him last night.
Mitsui (to himself): WHAT'S ON HER MIND!!!
Miyagi: Why? /trying his best to keep his cool/ Next thing you'll know, the whole of Japan will know of this craziness!
Mitsui: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!
Rukawa: I- I- He wouldn't get into our way…
Ayako: How can you be sure?
Rukawa: I KNOW AND I TRUST HIM! /bursting out/
Ayako: I hope he wouldn't mess things up.
Miyagi: I WISH.
Mitsui: Rukawa, tell me, what's with you and Sendoh? Do you have some sort of romantic relationship?
Rukawa: …
The trio waited for her answer but—
Sakuragi: You don't need to squeeze the information out of her… IT'S WRITTEN ALL OVER HER FACE!
Ayako: Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Sakuragi: Hn. Ungrateful bitch.
Rukawa: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!
And the two kept on exchanging rather foul and insulting words. Miyagi, Ayako and Mitsui just stood there… They absolutely don't have an idea of what's happening before them.
Rukawa: Why don't you just believe me?
Sakuragi: Why should I when you're making a fool out of us behind our backs?
Rukawa: I told you there's nothing between Sendoh and me! /narrating the events last night, before their date/
Sakuragi: Fine. But it doesn't mean that he has to know everything! /making his point/
Mitsui (decided to butt in): Yeah… besides, why did he kiss you? (Grumbled) that perverted jerk. Che.
Rukawa (wide eyes): It's nothing really… believe me… there's nothing between us. /trying to convince everyone/
Sakuragi: Whatever you say. From now on I don't want to interfere with your problem.
Rukawa: Oh no you don't! You're the reason why I became like this! If it weren't for you things would still be normal!
Sakuragi: Are you f*cking sure that I'm the one? How could you be that f*cking sure?!
Ayako: Sakuragi! /tries to calm Sakuragi/
Rukawa: Why are you f*cking mad?!
Sakuragi: You know what? Because of you! I'm not mad at you to begin with… I'm mad with my self! Why?! ALL BECAUSE I THINK I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU! Satisfied?!
Mitsui, Miyagi, Ayako and Rukawa just remained silent. They were astounded by Sakuragi's revelation.
Sakuragi: I'm leaving. /with that he walked out of the gym/
Rukawa (shouts): Matte kudasai! /and runs after Sakuragi/
Mitsui: What the hell just happened?!
Ayako: I don't know…
Miyagi: This is insane!
To be continued…
Gomen for the foul words… again please review… THANKS! Ja!
