Author's Notes: HERE I COME TO CONTINUE THE FIC!!!! There will be, in the next small amount of sentences, Japanese phrases that include translations. Although I've got 3 Japanese-English dictionaries in my bookshelves, I'm not sure if they are written correctly so pardon me if there are any mistakes. I do appreciate it if you…Read and Review my fourth chapter!!!
CHAPTER IV
~*~
~*~
RUKAWA'S POV
"Study, kitsune!" Kirusawa crossed both arms and legs: totally tomboyish especially when she slouched. She and her sister seem to be fond of sticking to their masculine segment rather than their feminine.
I shook my head and crabbily reached for the nearest book I can get hold of: Japanese to English Translations with Susan Somers. Susan Somers, huh? I flipped a few leaves and came across a few of the topic emotions.
=Kawaii- cute
=Daisuki na- I like you.
=Aishiteru- I love you.
What's with this book? Having a chapter about love? Love? Yeah, right. As if I'll find my heart's other broken piece… I don't even care… Puh-lease… I raised a brow and shut the hardbound book. "Tch."
"You ok?" Kirusawa asked with a fretful expression.
I looked away and avoided her concerned glance. She sighed, "There you go again! Barely speaking and taciturn!"
Taci-what? Who uses words like that nowadays? "Huh?"
"See? That's what you get for sleeping and not paying attention to our teachers! I just hope that your speechlessness can help you pull up your grades!"
"Hmph." I grunted.
"Suit yourself…" She sighed. "I just remembered, the game of Shohoku and Ryonan will be the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Hmph." I suppose she took that for a yes.
She took a glimpse at her frog-designed wall clock. "Oh my vegetables! It's already 9 in the evening and we haven't even started anything yet!"
"You're making time such a problem…" I mumbled as I played with a pencil, rubbing its eraser on the study table. She suddenly rose up from her seat.
"I guess I don't have any other choice… Do you want to stay over? Tomorrow IS a Saturday and I don't think school could be a bother."
"What will your parents think about inviting a boy you barely know to stay over for the night?"
"That won't be any trouble. Lurren doesn't ask mom or dad when she invites her friends whether they be boys or girls." Faye slumped on her bed.
"Boys?" That's a thing I want to ask the lesbian "… Have you liked any?"
She reddened "There is this… Never mind. I never got to know him well, anyway. He's a basketball player in Ryonan and I just think he's kind of nice… and a bit cute. But don't expect me to have a crush on him because you can never find Faye Kirusawa with a boyfriend or a crush. NEVER in my life, will I have one."
"Ryonan, huh?" I just hope that guy wouldn't be broomhead because if it is, I'm going to kill that lemon-sucking bastard… Or that large-lipped, droopy-eyed Fukuda… Or that enormous rival of Gori's, er, I mean Akagi's… It certainly wouldn't be a sight to see Kirusawa with any of those idiots…
"Start with science while I play my gameboy, ok?" She put her Discman's headphones over her ears and concentrated on her transparent-white gameboy.
FAYE'S POV
After an hour or so, my batteries went dead. "Hey, Rukawa! Are you done with that?"
No reply. Total silence. I put y Discman away and walked to the slouching Rukawa who was to my not-so-great-surprise, sleeping contentedly. I kind of felt offended by this. I mean, after waiting for one long hour, I suddenly find him sleeping?! I gave the sniveling creep a clout on the head when he awoke. "I was awake, didn't you see?"
"Give me a good reason why your shirt is marked all over with your drool and snot."
There was a long pause before he spoke "My jaw went numb."
"And your nose?" I pinched his snout.
"… It also went numb." He spoke with a nasal strum.
"Yeah, right."
"… Where am I going to sleep?"
"Well, you were looking comfortable just sitting there. Hmm… Do you want to sleep on my bed? We don't have any futons." I offered nicely.
"Wh-what? S-sleep with y-you?" He went crimson. Never have I seen this idiot go bright red. I wonder what I said to make him so flushed…
"What do you expect? I don't suppose you'd want to sleep on my chilly and soiled marble floor?" He shook his head as I got some pillows from my closet and tossed it over to him. "Just make sure you're not going to flood the sheets with drool, ok?"
"…" He gave a cynical smile "Did you know that the moment I came to this room, I can't help but notice how it stinks in here?"
I pointed to the door "I'm getting Kai's dog if you're going to mock me more!"
"I'm not scared. I mean, what can a puny boy's puny dog do to harm a man like me? Lick my hand crossly?" He snorted and pinched his nose. "It still stinks in here."
My eye twitched as I wore an impish smirk. You'll see, you airhead… You'll be begging for mercy… You'll scream in agony… You'll take back what you said…
I also got in a situation like this.
Really?
Unfortunately. I didn't know he could be soooo quiet in the series and be soooooo, what's the word, energetic, in my fics…
Uh, can I get Kai's dog now? He's really getting into my nerves…
Sure…
So, I went to get my nincompoop-brother's dog. I returned back with Spike beating me to the leash, anxious about my surprise for him. Hehehehehe… Rukawa's in for it now…
"Whoa, whoa!" He jumped to his feet and rushed to the top of my bed. "You didn't warn me your bro's got a full-grown rottweiler for a pet!!!"
"Well, he's a bit hungry and I'm just showing him what's available to eat…" I snickered. This could've been one of those Kodak moments…sigh… If only I had my digital cam with me right now… I just can't let go of poor Spike while I'm gone to get it or else… Wait a minute! That's my point! Oh, silly me…
Don't you think this is kind of harsh on him?
…Maybe… Maybe not… He deserves it anyway… Don't you think so?
Hmm… yeah, but look at his face… When Kai's dog gets closer a few inches more, his look would totally be petrified…
Uh, that's my point… Nah, forget it. Nevertheless, could I still freak him out a bit? Just for fun?
Hehehehehe… Why not?
Thanks! So where was I? Searching my brain, searching my brain… Ah! Now I remember! "Look, Spike! Doesn't your meal look absolutely delectable?"
Spike growled and barked as Rukawa moved back a bit more. Wow, I can't help but notice how Rukawa feels scared of Spike and at the same time, keep his blank face…
RUKAWA'S POVI was too busy fearing this stupid mutt and I can't find time to glare at the owner. Correction: sister's owner.
Idiot! It's owner's sister! You're just going to make a crappy correction and you're doing it all wrong!
The heck do I care? Sheesh. What a high-blooded lady… Anyway, I had to at least take a glimpse at Kirusawa: what do you expect? She was laughing like hell… And me? I'm trying, I mean, doing the best I can to avoid this dog of hers…
Groan… It's been the entire night… Can't that dog shut its trap? The deepest sleep I've got so far lasted for three minutes… I badly need my rest… I know, I'll sleep throughout all the classes I attend to…
You always do…
I'll just skip classes, then…
You always do, too…
Sigh… I wonder, what's my life's purpose? Oh yeah: be the best basketball player there is… Keep my mind focus on that idea and ignore the dog… Ignore the dog… Damn! It's too LOUD!!!! "SHUT UP, YOU STUPID DOG!!!!!"
Was that me?
Yeah, was that actually you?
"My, my Rukawa. You seem to be quite aggravated by Spike…" She said calmly and brushed her hands on the dog's black coat.
"Keep that dog away from me. Right now, I'm supposed to be in basketball practice." I explained.
She looked at me "Excuse me but, were you talking to me? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Could you rewind and retell what you've told me awhile ago?"
I arched a brow and snorted, muttering so quietly "Darn you, Kirusawa…"
"What? I can't hear you."
"I can't take this anymore. I'm going to the gym." Completely disregarding the dog, he headed for the door and slams his palms on the wall. "Uh, before that, could you tell me how to open this door?"
"You press the blue button… No, you nitwit, that's the green one! Haven't you learned anything from preschool?"
Author's notes: Sorry if it took so long… I was waiting for reviews (just kidding!). Actually, school became a hindrance and the only available time for me to type and upload are Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Not only that but projects keep flooding in my assignment notebook… And, um, I'm also typing for my other fics… That's all, I guess… My motto, (ahem!) read and… review! Thanks a lot!
