Chapter 5: Field Trip
"He's late!" Miyaru grumbled. It was a sunny Saturday and Miyaru was waiting for Rukawa in front of the kindergarden school gate. "Guess he's chickened out...." she sighed, turning back when a shadow past by....
"Kae-kun!" Rukawa appeared to have taken her advice. He was wearing a casual cool blue shirt and just plain jeans.
"Hey! You look great!" she gave him a thumbs-up. Rukawa felt his face flush a little. his eyes turned to look at her, she was wearing a cute sleeveless shirt and short khakis shorts. "Y-you too." he couln't think of anything to say.
Miyaru was quite surprise with his compliment, but she just flashed him a big and grateful smile, "Thanks!"
"So where are we going?" Rukawa asked, he had been wondering about this since he left his house that morning.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you." she said, her grin surprisingly growing wider and wider, "To the zoo."
"Z-zoo?" Rukawa sputtered. "Who could think of a cornier place to date!"
"Yes. Zoo. Z-O-O. she smiled at the stunned face of Rukawa.
"I-I thought we were going.....going.....to...a....a-a date."
"Date? Yes. In the zoo." Miyaru grin, then added, "Besides you still don't know that well and I don't know you sooo we coudn't possibly have a real and serious date? Ne?"
Rukawa was about to open his mouth to reply but was interupted by a sudden bloodcurdling scream...........
"MS. MIYAAAAAARUUUUU!!!!!!" Miyaru turned and (To Rukawa's great surprised) a group of little children were running towards them, screaming and clutching their bulging lunch boxes together with their water jugs.
"Can we go now?"
"Let's play!"
"I want some caandy!"
"Ms. Miyaru! Ms. Miyaru!"
"Is he our chaperone?" Several students pointed at the silent kitsune, Rukawa's azure eyes darted towards them, making some of the kids whimper. Miyaru , with a big smile, walked towards him and said, "Yes, Kae-ku- Mr. Kaede will be our chaperone for this trip."
"YAAAAAAY!!!!"
"Mr. Kaede! Do you know basketball?"
"Can you dunk?"
"Mr. Kaede, we're going to the zoo today!"
"Can I be as tall as you someday? Huh? Mr. Kaede?"
"Mr. Kaede, you quite pale? Are you sick?" Rukawa was bombarded by hundreds of completely insane questions. He wasn't going to answer them of course, that wouldn't be Rukawa-like. It was such a relief when Miyaru blew her whistle and the class started to proceed to the waiting bus.
"Alright, everyone ready!" Miyaru shouted enthusiastically.
"Ms. Miyaru?"
"Yes?"
"I thought Mr. Kaede was coming with us? But why is he still outside?"
Miyaru, in an instant, jumped from the bus and practically dragged Rukawa in the bus, "You're coming with us, whether you like it or NOT!"
As the bus started moving, the already excited children seems to have an increase in sugar take this morning, everyone was bouncing up and down in their seats, unable to contain themselves. Rukawa decided to seat by himself in the front row seat.
"Hi!" Miyaru seated herself beside Rukawa, she just finish checking the kids for the 10th time. "Wanna listen to my CD?"
Without waiting fro a reply, she took out her discman from her backpack and inserted one earphone in her right ear and one on Rukawa's left ear. The soft music started to play, making Rukawa uneasy. "Nice, eh?" she smiled.
"Why am I feeling this way? This can't be happening? Why? I'm softening up.....This can't be real! It should be the music......yes...it must be this music....."
The bus stopped at the Kanagawa's Zoo's colorful and inviting gate. The place was packed with parents bringing their children, stands that are selling assorted candy, colorful balloons, sweet cotton candy, and many more could be seen....
"Alright! Kids, gather around!" Miyaru shouted, "Remember that this place is huuuuuge and anyone can get lost if they're not careful."
"Does that mean Mr. Kaede could get lost too?" a kid wondered aloud.
Miyaru smiled fondly at the kid and bend down to whisper, "If he sleeps we'll leave him, ok?"
The child just looked up, and a sweet grin appeared on his face. Rukawa sighed, he couldn't wait for this day to be over, "I've ot better things to do! Like my basketball practice....some date!"
"Everyone listen up! I'm giving each of you a button with a number on it!" she held up several blue and pink buttons." This is going to make counting you off much easier, so you have to wear it all the time!"
"I'm also going to take our pic-" she searched her bag for her camera, "Oops, I left it in the bus...I'll go get it." she turned and was heading towards the bus when she added, "Kae-kun, please distribute these for me, pleeeeeez." She quickly skipped to the bus even before Rukawa could say a word.
"K'so." he cursed under his breath, surveying the pesky kids surrounding him. The babble started again-
"I want some candy! NOW!"
"I'm hungry!!!"
"I want the blue one!!!"
"Mr. Kaede! My shoelace is untie!!!"
"I want a red one!"
"I HATE PINK!"
Rukawa sighed, his head was spinning like a top and pounding worse than ever. He wanted to curse these pesky children, break their neck then feed them to the crocodiles........compared to these kids Sakuragi's an angel.
"SILENCE!" he growled at the noisy class. Everyone suddenly turned pale and their lower lips started to quiver.
"Not again......" Rukawa thought, desperately. "I'm going to hand out these buttons....and I don't care if you hate the color. he paused. "And if you need something, tell me when I hand the button to you."
Only silent murmurs of "yes" could be heard, Rukawa started handing out buttons; blue to the boys and pink to the girls, tying shoelaces and fixing bows in the process...... (ChinaEyes: Just imagine Rukawa tying your shoelaces!!! Kawaii!!!)
Miyaru panted as she reached the front gate, "Whew! Thanks for waiting fo- WOW!"
All the students were proudly beaming at her, buttons in place and lined up in a staright line.
"I'm impressed!" she nudged Rukawa. "I didn't know you could handle a class of kindergarden kids without giving one a blackeye or two." she teased.
"......"
Miyaru laughed silently then motioned her class to proceed......
"What's happening to me?" Rukawa asked himself for the hundredth time.
"Everyone look around and try to identify the animals....."
They explored the zoo, looking and laughing along the way (except Rukawa, who shows no excitement whatsoever). The class had a good time identifying the different animals they witness. Several animals also did a few exhibition for them, the kids were filled with awe and admiration.....finally lunch time has come. They all retreated into a picnic grove and started eating their lunch.
"Got lunch?" Miyaru asked, sitting beside Rukawa, who was trying to stay away from the pesky kids and HER for the meantime.He sat alone in the picnic table beneath the shades.
"I'll share mine...." she offered, smiling at him.
"No, thanks." he replied.
"C'mon. It's my fault I didn't tell you to bring lunch anyway."
"No."
"Pleeez.......pretty pleeeez....!!!"
Rukawa stared at her face..her lovely face. Her big, round eyes full of concern and kindness. She looked so happy, so lovely, so..............peaceful.
"Pleeez..." Miyaru pleaded.
".......okay."
"Thanks!" she opened her lunch box, and inside were rice with............beef broccoli (ChinaEyes : Sorry...can't think of anything......tried of the same old sushi!) , "Sorry, I don't know how to make susjis and those rice ball thingies..." she said, slightly embarssed.
Miyaru took her spoon and fork and scooped a spoonful and moved it towards Rukawa, who was taken back.
"Here...taste it."
"......"
"Pleeeez."
Rukawa sighed, he was hating himself more and more every second, he moved towards her and -
"So......what do you think?"
"....great." Rukawa mumbled, still savoring the flavor of the beef broccoli, wondering how his teammates would react if ever they found out their ace player was being spoon fed by a girl..... "The d'aho would probably place it on the school newspaper and broadcast it on the radio...." he thought grimly.
Miyaru took another spoonful. "I'm full." Rukawa said.
"Your full? Already? "
"Yeah."
"No wonder your so pale!"
"......"
"Pleeeeeez."
This "pleez" thing continued throughout the trip. Rukawa really doesn't understand what's happening to him but he couldn't possibly say 'no' to her 'pleeez'. He ended up eating almost all her lunch, accompanying the little boys in the restroom, guarding the kids while she go to the bathroom, and so on.......
Until the day finally ended-
"Class, lets take one last picture!"
All the students huddled and posed i front of the fountain near the exit of the zoo, Miyaru had to pull Rukawa to get him in the picture. It was almost sunset and the golden orange effect of the setting sun made the picture perfect.
Everyone was laughing and yelling once more as they exit the zoo....Rukawa was about to leave when Miyaru called on him.
"Kae-kun! Wait up! Lets take a picture, just the both of us." she smiled, taking Rukaw's arm and dragging him towards the fountain again, Miyaru pulled Rukawa beside her (she asked a bystander to take their pic). She took Rukawa's hand and placed it on her shoulders, Rukawa's heart skipped a beat. He felt her warm, soft skin pressed against, he felt as if he was floating, he was like this whenever she was near, she was something....something different...."This can't be happening....This is the worst thing possible.......I'm....I-I'm falling in love."
"1...2......3!"
