CHAPTER 7: ONE GAIN ONE LOSS
By: Alea
"Girl, would you like to catch a movie tonight?"
"I'll save that for later, right now, I'm finishing up my homework."
"You sure gal? It's going to suck without you!"
The girl nodded and faced the direction of the door.
"Okay, now you be careful!"
"You too!"
The door closed behind and a girl held a picture in her hands. It's been three months, sister. There was a tall slender pretty young girl wearing her blond hair in a ponytail. Her eyes was a seaish blue and her skin an ivory white.
The girl reached down and put the picture next to the window and walked outside on the street.
There wasn't much to do in New York if you've done them all. Especially if you lived there all your life and three months without your best friend.
"It would be better to have that cheerful smile from Chiharu once again." She wished as she looked up at the brilliant night sky.
"And to have your reassurance right beside me. Happy Birthday, sis."
*^*^*^
Chiharu bounced the ball four times and held it above her head ready to shoot when she lowered it slowly.
"No one's wished me a happy birthday yet." She sighed, closed her eyes and dropped the ball. "Yuriko, I wish you were here."
She slowly opened her eyes to reveal darkness upon her. Someone had wrapped their hands around her face.
"Hey." A soft voice greeted.
"Rukawa?" She asked as she placed her own hand son his. "What date is it today?"
He grinned and didn't take his hands off her eyes. "April 15."
She sighed again. He really didn't know it was her birthday. Did he?
He then let go of her face and placed a box in front of her eyes.
It was wrapped beautifully in a crimson red wrapping paper and a heart, which represented his card.
"So you didn't forget my birthday!" Her voice was filled with glee and she immediately turned and hugged him. "Thank you Kaede!"
He smiled and placed his hands around his waist. "Happy Birthday, Chiharu."
She put her hands on top of the small box and looked up at him. She couldn't believe he actually bought her a present.
'I hope it's something he didn't spend a lot of money for.' She thought. 'But if it is, I'd be happy to accept it!'
She giggled and tried to open the box without tearing the wrapping paper and she sat on the ground.
"Chiharu," Rukawa said as he sat across from her. "Please don't read the card a loud."
He blushed and turned away.
A smile crept over her lips. Devious deeds filled her head. After all, it was he birthday. It's not like anyone could hang her for doing something to her boyfriend. On her birthday!
"Sure." She whispered.
He sat silently as his face showed no emotion. He was just waiting to see the expression on her lovely face when she sees the present.
Chiharu opened the white box and placed the card beside her. "OH MY GOSH!"
She covered her mouth as she pulled out a silver ring with the name 'Chiharu and Rukawa' engraved on it. He was so sweet! He's cold to others but sweet to her.
"Kaede-kun." She looked down at the ring and placed it on her middle finger. "This is so beautiful!"
He smiled gracefully and placed his lips on hers. "Happy Birthday." He wished her once more.
As he turned to back away, tears formed in her eyes and she tried to wipe them away before Rukawa saw her.
"What's wrong?" He asked her and looked down at the ring. "Chiharu?"
"I'm fine!" She answered wiping the tears that were streaming down her face. "It's not a problem. I'm, just so touched! It's so beautiful Kaede- kun!"
She made out a smile and hugged him once more. "So beautiful!"
*^*^*^
"Hanamichi! Hanamichi!" Haruko shouted across the streets as she saw a red head pass her. "Stop! Hanamichi!"
Haruko was taking huge breaths as she struggled against the swarm of crowds scrunching together.
"Hanamichi! Hanamichi Sakuragi!" She yelled once more. "SAKURAGI-KUN!"
At this, the fire head swiftly, in one quick motion, turned his head to meet her gaze in his. A smile crept upon her lips and she stood still. As long as he saw her she wouldn't in need of screaming her lungs out.
'Finally. He's probably deaf in one ear, or both!'
He saw her and he felt his face warming up with embarrassment.
'Oh Haruko-san! She must've fallen for me! Well who couldn't? Tensai Sakuragi is irresistible!'
"Haruko-san! What are you doing here?"
Haruko took a step towards Hanamichi who was still squashed between the pedestrians nearby.
"Would you like to have a drink with me?" She asked as he was finally face to face with her. "Or are you too busy?"
He stood in shock. 'Haruko-san is asking me on a date! A date! She loves me! Who wouldn't love Tensai Sakuragi Hanamichi?' He smiled down at those wonderful chestnut eyes.
"Haruko.."
"I'm sorry. I didn't, I didn't think that you would be able to after all, you've got things to do.."
"No, let's go!" Hanamichi grabbed her hand and rushed towards a nearby café.
'My time to tell her everything!' Sakuragi thought as he came towards the café.

A/N:
UNFINISHED! But will be finished soon. (I mean the chapter not the story…) I'm pretty busy so I haven't been updating it recently, well not entirely A LOT! I mean it is almost the end of fourth quarter and then I'm going to be in 8th grade! (YAY!)
But anyway, I'll be updating soon after a month or so cause of studying. So keep reading!
