Hidden Reality
Chapter 02
Hanamichi jumped... She felt light, so light, she never jumped so high before... The time stopped, everybody looked at her, waiting and...
"DUNK !!! "
She smiled, falling softly on the floor, then turned her head, wincing at her new 'friend' who laughed frankly in return...
_FLASH-BACK_
She sweatdropped to the unexpecting turn of the events. She sweatdropped. And laughed.
She laughed, looking at the boy lay on the floor, his body turned in a ridiculous and Oh-so comical way, his members spread wide open, his eyes fixed, a little tinge of drool coming from his wide-opened mouth, like if he had try to say one more thing before to pass out. -And, she thought grinning, she knew he had... -
"Yoh ! Tetsuo, you okay ? " She laughed.
A car passed in the nearby street. Some birds sang. She waited, looking at the thing... 'Scuse, the man on the floor. A dog barked. A child laughed. Some cries could be heard. He remind still.
She was beginning to wonder if he was still alive when he finally reacted. He raise a weak hand to his forehead, moaning lightly, his eyes still close. He shake his head lightly, like if awakening from a bad dream and raise himself on his elbows.
"Howwn... " He groaned. "Such a strange dream I did... A real nightmare... "
"Nightmare ? Look at yourself, you moron !! " Sakuragi shouted.
Tetsuo froze. This voice... Impossible ! He raise his head again, frightened 'cause he already knew what he would probably see and praying god (who probably decided to have holiday or was finding the situation to funny to accept to do anything... Or was too busy to try to control his laugh to be able to do anything at all !! But that's not the question...) to not see it and just woke up in his bed, panting and trembling from his bad dream.
He raise his head. Slowly. Carefully. And froze. His eyes widened as he looked at the... Girl (?!) in front of him and he fall again in a haze.
"Hey ! you okay ? Dun faint again !! " Sakuragi said, worried.
She couldn't let him like that, not one of Micchie's friends !!! But she couldn't stay eternally here, with the stupid gang somewhere around and this baka eternally unconscious !!!
"So, it's not a dream. "
Such a statement ! Tetsuo stay on the floor, not trusting enough his members to move. So. It was NOT a dream.
"When did you... How... How long are you a... A... "
"A girl ? "
" ... " Tetsuo nodded.
"Since I'm born, I think... " Sakuragi said, smirking.
Tetsuo blushed. Actually, he blushed. The rough, violent, dangerous-looking and frightening gangster blushed.
"That's... Not exactly what I wanted to..; To... "
"To say ? "
He nodded again.
*I look stupid. *
Tetsuo frowned then sighed, then blushed again, unpurposely eyeing a certain part of Sakuragi's body. UNDER the soaked t-shirt. His eyes flied away quickly as he shake his head, trying to put an hand on his wandering thoughts.
*I FEEL stupid. *
Hanamichi just looked at him, her chin on her hands, her elbows reposing on her knees. She was smiling, clearly amused, waiting for him to... 'Wake up' to his state of stupor. she was beginning to get use of it...
"Who ? "
" ??? "
"Who ? "
"What dyou mean, guy ? "
"Who know. Who know that you're a ... A... "
"A girl ? "
"Yeah. "
"Me. My family. You ?! "
"That's all ? " Tetsuo exclaimed, his eyes widening in stupor.
"Not exactly... "
"What ?! "
Tetsuo looked at her. Looked at her smiling face, at her mock grin. Then he saw red...
"ENOUGH !!! STOP TO LAUGH AT ME AND RESPOND !!! " He shouted, slamming the floor in anger.
Hanamichi burst in laugher, looking at the red face of Tetsuo. Pointing her finger toward him, she tried to say something but couldn't, shocking and laughing too much. Tetsuo's anger flew up like a comet then... Faded as suddenly as it had began as he looked at her and he began to laugh, too, not really knowing why... And not really caring. The whole situation was so... Weird. Like a bad dream. Or a very funny one...
After all, it was up to him to decide... He grinned widely.
"So... " He said, getting up.
Brushing off dirt from his jean, he stretched his hand to Hanamichi.
"So ? " Hanamichi said, accepting Tetsuo's help to get up.
"Who know. Who ELSE. Who know in your school ? "
"Not many. "
" ... "
"In fact... Youhei. The Gundam. Their family. "
"And ? "
"That's all. "
"What ? "
"Well... You can add my family doctor to the list, if you want. "
"And that's all ? "
"Yes. "
"Really ALL ? "
"Yes. Me. My family -parents, brothers, uncle and aunts, cousins... -. The Gundam. Youhei. And You... " She smiled.
He looked at her silently some endless seconds. Then add:
"So... Mitsui and the others... "
"Know nothing. For them I'm a boy. "
"Oh. "
He looked at her silently some other minutes, facing each other like twin statues. Then Tetsuo grinned.
"Hey... "
" ??? "
"You wouldn't mind if I come to see you 'guys' practice ? "
Hanamichi grinned back...
_END OF FLASH-BACK_
Mitsui frowned. There was something... He didn't know what, but something weird in the way Tetsuo acted. The way he looked at them during practice. Besides, what was he doing here to begin with ? And the way Tetsuo and Sakuragi laughed together... Like if there was something special between them... Something Mito and the Sakuragi Gundam knew too, he was sure of that. The way the two of them were sometimes, whispering to each other, looking at them then laughing like crazy hyena, like if... He didn't even know what !!! And... Firstly... When the hell the two of them became friends ?!
Mitsui shake his head. Tetsuo only laughed when he asked him what was happening...It was obvious that he DIDN'T want to say him what was happening... But he would know, YEES, he would know... And THEN he would be the one who laugh...
Mitsui nodded. Later... Yeah, later...
