Chapter Nine: The Past II

After showing most of the places in the school, Takeya started to get hungry. "I'm getting hungry, I better show you where's the cafeteria so we can go and eat." His stomach growled as soon as he finished speaking. Both of them laughed.

Yushi smiled," I guess you are really hungry. Let's go."

Heading towards the cafeteria, Takeya was about to push the door when someone inside pushed the doors, hitting Takeya who fell on Yushi.

Takeya moaned," Itai." Realized that he was lying on top of her, he quickly got up and apologized. "Gomen." He scratched the side of his face and smiled sheepishly.

Yushi blushed. "It's ok."

The people who pushed the door were two huge and burly guys. As soon as they saw Takeya, they got frantic and asked," Are you ok, Takeya?"

Takeya grinned," Daijobu."

One of them grinned back showing his dirty, yellow teeth. "Yokata."

"Yeah, thought we hurt you painfully there just now," another said.

Takeya slapped high fives with them and said," See you later, guys."

Yushi asked," Those are your friends?"

"Yeah. They look tough but actually they are nice people."

"Soka.well, let's get going now." She pushed the doors and went in. She looked around the cafeteria and said," Wow, your school's cafeteria sure is big."

He grabbed her hand and responded," Come on." Standing behind a line of students, he turned to her. "What do you wanna eat?"

"Anything. You decide for me."

He smiled," Sure. You go and get a table for us."

Yushi turned and went to look for a table. As soon as she sat down, a beautiful girl walked over to her.

She asked, narrowing her eyes. "Who are you?"

Thinking this girl came to be friends with her, she smiled," Hi. I'm Shinji Yushi, a new student."

"What are you doing with Takeya?"

"He just showed me around the school." Feeling weird that this girl was asking her this question, she gave a confused look.

The girl spoke in a low voice this time. "I'm telling you, you better stay away from him."

Just then, Takeya was on his way approaching the table, the girl turned around and saw him then she walked away without another word again.

Takeya had seen her and asked," What was she doing here just now?"

"She was just asking me some questions. Arigatoo." She took her food and began to eat.

"You are welcome. You better stay away from her," Takeya warned.

Yushi gave him a funny look. "Funny, she asked me to stay away from her and now you are asking me to stay away from her."

He raised his eyebrows. "She did?"

She nodded. "Who is she?"

"She's Mayu Kasumi, one of the most popular girls in school."

"Oh, I see. Is she nice?"

Takeya laughed. "I don't think so. She's famous for bad temper too."

"Anyway, what clubs are there in this school?"

"There's basketball, kendo, music, swimming, tennis and many more."

"Hm..so what club are you in?"

He smiled. "Kendo."

Yushi wrinkled her nose. "I don't like kendo."

"Well, I like it ever since I started playing it. How 'bout you? Have you ever try before?"

She shook her head in response.

"You shouldn't just say you don't like it when you never tried before."

She shrugged, hiding the reason that she doesn't like kendo.

Takeya looked at his watch then quickly stood up. "I gotta go now if not I'm gonna be late. I have to check on the kendo room. Ja na." He waved.

Yushi waved back and continued back to eating her food. Feeling someone staring at her, she turned around and saw a girl staring at her and smiling as Yushi looked at her.

She walked over to her and sat across from Yushi. She stuck out her hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Yamisu. I heard you are new here."

Yushi shook her hand and smiled," Nice to meet you. I'm Shinji Yushi. I thought Takeya would be my only friend. That Kasumi sure was rude to me."

Yamisu got closer to her and whispered. "Well, Kasumi is Takeya's ex- girlfriend. Rumor says that Takeya dumped her and that no one dumps her, mostly she's the one who dump her boyfriends. That's why she's not happy about it. Rumor also says that she's trying to get him back so obviously she doesn't like that you are with him."

Yushi nodded slowly. "Soka. No wonder but Takeya and I are friends already. We just met."

She shrugged. "Who knows what will happen after a few days? You might just end up as his girlfriend."

Blushing, Yushi responded. "I don't think so, after all I'm sure there are a lot of girls who like him."

Yamisu agreed. "Yeah, like me. Isn't his hair colour so special and unique? I mean, it's rare that people have purple hair. But, I heard that his hair colour is natural. He didn't dye it."

Yushi laughed. "You seem to know a lot of things."

Yamisu smiled sheepishly and scratched her face. "Well, I love gossips. Don't you?"

Yushi shrugged then looked at her watch and said. "I'm gonna be late for class. Ja." Picking up her books, she got up and was about to walk away when Yamisu called," Matte."

They talked while walking, turning such good friends just in a few minutes.

~*~ Yushi walked slowly, trying to find the kendo room. It was a few days later after the day she met Yamisu. Takeya had asked to meet her in the kendo room but she was lost as she never went and find out where the kendo room is. She had thought she could find it but now she know she was wrong.

She stopped a student and asked," Sumimasen, do you know where the kendo room is?"

After the student gave the directions, she thanked him and headed quickly to the kendo room. When she found it, she walked in and looked around to see where Takeya is. She couldn't see him anywhere and thought that he had left. /It's all my fault. I should have told him that I don't know where the kendo room is and now he's left already./

Yushi turned around and got scared out of her wits. "Takeya!! What are you doing, standing behind me? You scared me out of my life."

Takeya chuckled. "Oh, come on, I was just fooling around."

"Well, you sure shouldn't have done that to me."

"Get over it. Come, I'll introduce my friends to you." He took her hand and walked over to a quite cute guy with brown hair and introduced him to her. "Yushi, this is Sukari Jinna. Jinna, Shinji Yushi."

Jinna shook hands with her and grinned, showing his beautiful set of white teeth. "Yoroshiku." He turned to Takeya. "What are you doing with this beautiful girl, Takeya?"

Takeya chuckled. "Can't I? I like to hang out with beautiful girls." He slung an arm around her shoulder.

Yushi blushed.

"Well, if you are not going out with him, Yushi, call me, ok? I'll be sure to give you a good time."

Takeya shoved him playfully who laughed at his own joke. Then he brought her to meet other guys. After introducing all his friends in the room to her, he went and got two kendo sticks. He strode over to her and handed one to her. "Come on, try playing kendo with me. I'm sure you'll like it when you start playing."

Yushi gave him a small smile and slowly took the stick from him. She followed him to the center of the room when both of them had worn the uniform. /Luckily, all the other guys had left the room. If not, it'll be embarassing if I play so dumbly./

Takeya smiled," Let's try playing against each other first to see if you have any natural talent."

Yushi smiled back, weakly. She ran quickly over to him and swung her stick in attempt to hit it away. But Takeya was so strong that he gripped the stick strongly and pressed it against her stick while Yushi thought of the past.

~Flashback~ A guy was kissing her and taking off her shirt. Yushi struggled to defend herself. She tried to push him away but he caught both her hands and pressed it on his bed. They were in his bedroom, actually planning to study for an upcoming exam but clearly he got out of control.

Tears were flowing down Yushi's cheek. "Yamete, Tsuyoshi, onegai."

Tsuyoshi stopped kissing her neck and looked down at her. "Don't you love me, Yushi? I loved you ever since I met you." He was tracing her finger down her cheek.

"Hanashitte.kudasai." She weeped.

"Why don't you just admit that you love me? Naze?"

"Please just let me go."

He shook and gripped her hands hardly. "Tell me. Do you love me?"

She winced in pain. "I don't love you, I never will."

"Is that so?" He laughed bitterly then continued kissing all over her.

After some time later, he let go of her, satisfied and got up from the bed.

Yushi continued weeping and wiped the continuous flow of tears.

Tsuyoshi lit a cigarette and started smoking. "If you had just surrendered yourself to me, it would have been funner."

She stared at him and took her clothes, changing them and ran out of the room, the house. Since that incident, she never came back to school. People asked Tsuyoshi if he know what had happened to her, he just pretended not knowing what had happened to her. But he told the incident to some of his buddies who laughed at what happened.

~End of Flashback~

Yushi swung her stick and was going to hit it on his head when Takeya brought her stick to hit it against hers. Strongly, he hit away her stick.

She sat down, crying softly.

Takeya looked down at her and put his hand on her shoulders. "Dosano? Daijobu deska?"

She got up and bowed. "Sumimasen." Quickly, she ran out of the room and headed to the back of the school. She sat under a tree and whimpered. "I thought I could forget about him when I'm transferred to here but clearly, I can't. Why?"

~Fin~

Author's note: Sorry for the late update. A few of you guys asked me, if there's a love triangle, ^^ to know that you gotta find out for it yourself sooner or later. If I ever gonna have a love triangle here, it won't be so much like drama series *rolls eyes* as I don't like dramas. , ^^ why do you say Takeya's weird? One or two chapters will be about her past with Takeya. I know some of you guys will think it's disgusting that um..that Tsuyoshi raped her. I didn't write that on purpose, ok? At least, I didn't write in so much details out, right? I just wrote it because I want her to have a lot of sad memories because I like sad stories ^^ How 'bout you guys? Do you guys like a long author's note? If so, I can try to write something long here for every chapter from now on.

Oh and Micchan ^^ I do like leaving people hanging out XD Thanks Nellie ^^ for telling me in your review that I posted the same chapter twice, if it wasn't for you I probably won't even know about it. It's really weird, I thought I posted Chapter Nine *shrugs* I'll try to make sure that it won't happen again. Really sorry about that, minna-san. Has anyone been reading my Eyes on Me fic?
