Standard disclaimers applied and I'm back from Singapore!!! I missed
writing fics!! So, let's continue on with the story and thank you very much
to my faithful reviewers who have been very kind to me! Domo arigato..!!
^____^ Now. let's all hope I haven't forgotten about the plot of this fic.
RRRRRIIINNNGGG!!!! Went the school bell, indicating everyone can relax for 20 minutes (break time). Mitsui stood up and walked to his class' window and looked out, sighing as he did so. It hasn't been a very pleasant morning for him. He was looking at the horizon when he heard a familiar voice from down below. He looked down and saw the Mitsui Gundan. Those bozos followed him everywhere!
"OOOOIIIII!!!! MIT-CHAAANNN!!!!" Yelled his friend, Hotta. He was waving at him. Instantly, Mitsui slammed the window shut. "Are? Is he embarrassed?" Hotta asked his companions cluelessly. They just shrugged.
"Shouldn't be." They said. "We did this everyday." (^^;)
Mitsui went to his seat and sat, pouting. (Imagine a chibi looking Mitsui with both hands under his chin.) "Damn it."
"What 'Damn it'?" Came a fearsome voice from behind him. He turned and faced Akagi with Kogure.
"You look disturbed. Something wrong?" Kogure asked, concerned.
"Hmph." Mitsui smiled. "Of course not. What can possibly disturb me?" He asked coolly and turned around.
Kogure looked at Akagi who gave a 'Yep, he's disturbed' look.
"Come on, Mitsui, we've been friends for 4 years. We know you all too well. If you're disturbed by anything, you can always talk to us. Besides, we're both members of students' moral committee. You can share with us if you have any problems." Kogure said, pulling a chair. Akagi sat near Mitsui's table. Mitsui kept quiet.
"You don't have to if you're not ready, though." Akagi said finally.
"Thanks guys but, I'm fine, really." Mitsui managed to say but his heart was screaming 'please help me guys!'
"Okay." Akagi said. "Just make sure you're fine enough to practice later."
"I'll be there." He replied, giving a thumb's up sign.
Then, the rest of the morning went on breezily.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////// Back in Shohoku High, during break time, Rukawa was in his class.
'Yawn.. time to go to the roof.' he thought. He was about to open the door when the door flung open; bringing him along with it. And at the door was a you-know-who.
"RUKAWA!!!!! Are?" He scanned the classroom, only to see bewildered faces staring back at him. But no sign of his target. "Aha! The roof!" He said and sprinted down the corridor and up the roof. Rukawa, who was banged to the wall slowly emerged from the wall.
"Ow. chou- do'aho.(super ass-hole)" He held his head in daze, walked to his seat, sat, and. slept; everyone sweatdropped. After a few seconds, rapid footsteps ware heard. It got closer and closer. and once again, the door flung open; revealing the ever famous Sakuragi Hanamichi. He was panting. Then, his eyes immediately rest upon one person: Rukawa Kaede. (Imagine a 'Sakuragi Vision' mode) Sakuragi walked to Rukawa's seat and stared down at him.
"Oi. Rukawa, get up." He said. As expected, no response. "Teme-ra. (Why you.)" Suddenly, Sakuragi grabbed Rukawa's collar and banged him against the wall. "Get up!!" Rukawa stretched, blinked a few times and stared at Sakuragi. "Answer my question! Your parents in Kanagawa, in your house. True or false?!" Rukawa was still staring at him. "What are you staring at?!" Sakuragi grew irritated. "I'm asking you a question!"
". I don't care who it is but, I'll get whoever disturbs my sleep." With that, a battle royal took place.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ////////////////////////////// After school, Rukawa and Sakuragi were both walking back home. Or rather, Rukawa was walking home and Sakuragi was following him. Both had bandages on their heads and faces, Sakuragi had crutches and a casted leg while Rukawa have an injured arm.
"Do'aho." Rukawa suddenly said, anger in his voice.
"What 'do'aho'?! I told you not to call me that!" Sakuragi shot back.
"Okay, 'moron' then."
"You're the twit!"
Rukawa raised an eyebrow. "Me?" Rukawa asked.
"Yeah, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to miss basketball practice!" Rukawa suddenly stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face the red- headed baka behind him; his icy blue eyes shooting cold daggers. Sakuragi immediately realized what a big mistake he just made.
"Let's see.you came to my classroom," he walked nearer to Sakuragi while Sakuragi hopped back a little, "you banged me to the wall," Rukawa continued his advance, "you disturbed my sleep and then beat the hell out of me." Sakuragi finally did something sane: Shut up. "And you dare say it's MY fault?" Rukawa said in a monotone yet, it was murderous voice.
"O..okay, I'm sorry. I guess it was kind of my fault." Sakuragi said apologetically.
"No. It was entirely YOUR fault!" Rukawa was furious. The do'aho was stupider than he thought. And to think they've known each other for 2 years! What a laugh.
"Okay, okay. calm down, my friend." Sakuragi said, patting Rukawa on the shoulder. Rukawa glared at him, which meant, 'Don't touch me!' So, Sakuragi let go. "So... Kiriko's at home, is she?" He asked, playfully elbowing Rukawa.
"Is that what you wanted to ask?" Rukawa asked, knitting his eyebrows.
"Well, yeah. I heard your parents came to visit you so, I thought it will be natural for Kiriko to be with them. And when I saw you sleeping, I kinda' forgot we had this 'agreement' of not hating each other. Sorry." Sakuragi said. Rukawa rolled his eyes.
'Since when are WE friends?' he thought, irritated. "Do you like my sister that much?" Rukawa asked.
"What's wrong with that?" Sakuragi suddenly perked up. "What? You don't like it?" Rukawa could almost see him gulp. Wait a minute, he did.
"I thought you have a thing with Akagi's sister."
"Well. Haruko-san. yeah. She's nice and all but, no. She's too. friendly. Not my type."
Rukawa rolled his eyes again. "Since when are you a fussy type? I thought that small brain of yours can't even differentiate a girl with a witch"
Sakuragi sighed. "It's love I guess. And I can't believe I can find love in your household." He joked.
"What is love? How do you even know you're in love?"
"Hm. let's see. it's the feeling of happiness I guess. I feel happy every time I think about her."
"Happiness. That's it? That's love?"
Sakuragi rolled his eyes. "Generally speaking, yes. So, did she say anything? Please tell."
"Why should I tell you? What did you do to make me tell you?"
Sakuragi sighed. "You know, I would've given you a head-butt right here, right now if I'm in love with your sister instead of Haruko-san last year."
'So. a year made a world of difference. Me for instance. I sure have changed.' Rukawa thought to himself. Then, they reached Rukawa's house. "I'm telling you. She's not here. She can't come because of some stupid maths."
"KIRIKO-SAN!!!!! ARE YOU IN THERE???!!!!!" Sakuragi yelled at the top of his lungs before Rukawa could finish his sentence. "KIRIK.ULP!!" Rukawa's hand slapped Sakuragi's mouth, hard.
"Shut up! Do'aho. Just what are you thinking?!" Rukawa looked at his neighbor's house and was just in time to see her emerge from her balcony.
"Rukawa-kun? What's going on?" She asked, tying her wet hair. Seems like she just came out of the shower.
"Betsuni. (Nothing) Don't worry about it."
"Hey, you brought home another friend! Wow, your parents would be happy to hear this! And, you know, they've a surp."
"Uh. I'm kinda' busy. Ja." Then, Rukawa went to his house, dragging Sakuragi with him.
"Oro.? Does he know?" Miyuki said, "I better go next door!" then, she zoomed to her door. As she was about to open it, the doorbell rang. "Coming!" She said. "Yes? May I help you?"
At the door was a guy. 'Hey, he looks familiar.' she thought. Then, at the next instant, she realized who he was. '.Garcia?'
"Miyuki-san. I finally found your house." He said, smiling stupidly and a bright blush across his face. His skin was very fair so, the blush was quite obvious.
"Yes. What do you want, Garcia?" She asked, folding her arms across her chest.
"I've been suspended from school." He said, scratching the back of his head. "So, seeing there's nothing much for me to do, I decided to keep you company for a while."
"Really? How flattering. You never liked school, remember?" Miyuki said, bored. Garcia had a huge crush on her and was younger than her. He's her junior
"Aw. you're being cold again. We are going to pair up in the coming drama you know." He said with a 'Don't you remember?' look.
Miyuki sighed. "Yes, I remember. But, I think. never mind. Listen, I'm going to a friend's house."
"I'll get the car!" he said excitedly.(Is there such word?)
"Who's inviting you?! Besides, we don't need a car to go there."
"Is it nearby?"
"Nearer than you think." She was about to walk out when she saw someone approaching her house.
