Chapter 6: Crushes!?
MALL
"Wow! Malls here are not that populated unlike in America!" Yuki exclaimed like an innocent 5-year-old child. She's comparing the mall here in Japan and the mall she used to go to with Aki when they were in America.
"Hey Yuki! Don't be so ignorant!" Rukawa muttered, at the same time teasing her sister.
"No! I'm not being ignorant!" Yuki defended herself, looking kind of annoyed.
"Huh!? Didn't hear you!" Rukawa said teasing her sister more. For him, it's really fun teasing his sister, especially since she's rather easy to irritate.
"CH! Shut up, Kaede!" Yuki said, really annoyed.
Aki laughed. "You two are so funny!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah!!! Beat that Kitsune, Yuki!" Sakuragi cheered for Yuki. For him, it's as exciting as watching a movie, wherein his number one rival would get beaten by a girl.
While they're walking, Yuki was still defending herself when she suddenly bumped into someone... AGAIN!
"Yuki?" Rukawa said as he shook his head no.
Yuki fell to the ground with a 'thud', "Ouch!"
"Oppss....So sorry!" said the guy who immediately held out a hand to help her up. Yuki gladly accepted the aid willingly offered to her then thought, What a gentle man, reminds me of someone...
Yuki smiled. "No! It's fine!....It's all Kaede's fault." she said as she turned to her brother and stuck out her tongue.
The guy, suddenly realizing who he had just bumped into, exclaimed in both shock and delight, "Yuki!"
Yuki looked up and was surprised to see Sendoh. "Oh! Hi there Sendoh!" she exclaimed smiling again.
"What are you doing here?" Sendoh asked, meaning to start a conversation with her, as though instantly forgetting he's actually with Maki, Fujima, Hanagata, and Kiyota. He suddenly felt happiness the moment he saw Yuki at the mall. The only problem was...
Rukawa was giving him a rather displeased look.
"Well, strolling...You?" Yuki replied. Like Sendoh, she seemed to have forgotten that she was with her bro, Sakuragi and Aki.
"EHEM!!!" Maki, Fujima, Hanagata, and Kiyota said to get Sendoh's attention.
"Oppss....Sorry guys!" he apologized but then thought, why do you need to interrupt this one!
Then Yuki turned to Aki, Kaede and the feisty Sakuragi who had just engaged himself in another fight with Kiyota. " Hey Guys! Where'd you want to go..." Yuki asked, until Kiyota notice Yuki then blushed.
Then Sendoh spoke. "Hey Yuki. These are my friends Shinichi Maki, Kenji Fujima, Toru Hanagata, and Nobunaga Kiyota..." he introduced as he pointed to each of them.
"Hi! I'm NaomiYuki Rukawa and this is my best friend AkiyuRae Sakuragi." Yuki introduced Aki, and then smiled, which made both Sendoh and Kiyota blush... While our dear Fujima was just gawping at Aki, making Rukawa annoyed.
What is that do'ahou Fujima doing!? Looking at Aki like that! Rukawa thought in irritation.
My Goodness... I thought angels only lived in Heaven... But why do I see an angel in front of me! Fujima thought still looking at Aki...
Back to Kiyota and Sendoh, She's really a Goddess!!! Sendoh thought as he looked at Yuki who smiled at him, making him blush once again.
Wow!!! Pretty... Kiyota thought as he also looked at the smiling Yuki.
Then Hanagata suddenly asked Yuki... "So? You said you're a RUKAWA... What's your relationship with him?" as he pointed to Rukawa.
Yuki smiled. "Well, he's my older brother." she simply said.
Maki, Fujima, Hanagata, and Kiyota yelled, "WHAT!?!?". This made almost all the people to turn and look at them. Then Kiyota asked what's Aki's relationship with Hanamichi... and another loud "WHAT!?!?" was heard.
"Wow! It's really unbelievable..." Kiyota said as he stared at Yuki.
Rukawa noticed this and said, "No it isn't! Now, will you just stop staring at my sister like that!!!".
Kiyota just, well, kept on staring at Yuki like he didn't hear Rukawa.
Then Sakuragi noticed Fujima staring at his sister... " Hey You! Stop that or else..." he said giving Fujima his infamous "me de korosu" (killer eyes).
"Um... Bro? Yuki and me are just going to shop! Wanna come?" Aki asked Sakuragi.
"Nah! Maybe I'm just going home...I'm tired ya know." he said before yawning to make his point clear.
Aki sighed then Fujima volunteered. "Me! I'll go with the two of you!" he said.
Then Rukawa noticed this and said, "I'm also coming..." Did I say that!? he thought.
"Ok! Gotta go Sis! Be sure to be home before 7:00! Huh!?" Sakuragi said before leaving. Then Maki and Hanagata decided to go home because they have more important things to do or perhaps they just realized that they were nothing but 'extras'...
Then well, Kiyota, Sendoh, Fujima, Rukawa, Aki and Yuki were left...So they went...SHOPPING! Aki and Yuki entered almost all the stores and boutiques in that mall. The boys, on the other hand, were feeling rather bored but didn't let the girls notice it.
After that, they got hungry and decided to eat...
~
Aki, Rukawa and Fujima shared a table while the others found another table.
"Um? Can I call you Akiyu?" Fujima asked.
Aki smiled. "Sure!" she replied. "How 'bout you..." Aki said forgetting Fujima's name.
"Kenji..." he said, giving his first name.
"Yeah Kenji! What do you want to eat?" Aki asked.
"Well, anything..." he said then added in his mind, 'I just wanted to be with you.., HECK! You're so pretty.'
"Ok! How bout you Kaede?" she asked the other guy who simply replied...." Anything." so Aki went to the counter to get themselves something decent to eat.
"Hey there Rukawa! How's your day?" Fujima asked starting the conversation. Rukawa just made a 'Hmph', and mentally added. Not fine because you're here!
Then about a few minutes later, Aki returned balancing their orders in a single tray. Both Rukawa and Fujima stood up to help her but Fujima got to her first... Baka Fujima!!! Rukawa thought.
~
Sendoh, Kiyota, and Yuki were eating by now... when Sendoh started the conversation.
"How come you're Rukawa's sister and I haven't seen you in any game he played..." he asked, while taking a bite of his food.
"Well, because I just came back from America." she replied.
Kiyota asked, "Why did you come back here?"
"Because, America is so... Boring! And my parents decided it's better to study here in Japan and I also miss my brother." she simply replied. "Hey Kiyota right? Are you also a basketball player like Bro. and Sendoh?" she continued.
"Yup! I'm the asst. Capt. of Kainan High!" Nobunaga said, proudly. "And just call me Nobunaga..." he continued.
"Ok Nobunaga! Really!? Kaede has always told me that Kainan is the best school here and at the same time the best in basketball! Then I'm here talking to the vice captain of the basketball team! Oh! You and my brother have the same position. Wow!" Yuki said, amazed by Kiyota's prowess...
Then Sendoh got a little jealous. I'm the one who's talking to Yuki not Kiyota, he thought, utterly annoyed.
Then they both heard someone calling Yuki...
OH MY GOSH!!! I know that voice! It's my Shohoku no. 5! Kogure... Yuki thought happily. "Oh Hi there # 5..." Yuki said calling Kogure by the nickname she had given him, then blushed. Sendoh saw this then afterward thought, She likes him...
"Hi there Yuki!" Kogure greeted back, giving him one of his smiles.
"Hello # 5! What are you doing here?" Yuki asked, hiding her obvious blush.
"Um... Just looking for something! How bout you?" Kogure said.
"Well, shopping with my new friends, Aki and Bro." she replied.
"Oh Yeah! Want to talk to you longer but gotta go! I have something to find, just say 'Hi' to Aki for me. Ok? Bye! Also to you Guys..." Kogure said as he looked at Sendoh and Kiyota.
"Yeah! Thanks...bye too. Love you." Yuki murmured.
"AHEM!!!" Kiyota and Sendoh interrupted. Somewhat, jealous...because they heard what Yuki [had] said.
"Oh! You guys finish eating?" asked Yuki, feeling kind of nervous… they might already know her secret.
"Oh Yeah!" Kiyota and Sendoh replied.
Aki, Rukawa, Fujima and the others were already done with their food. So...they decided to leave because it's already 7:00 in the evening and Aki really needed to go home. But who's going to accompany her to her house?
Sendoh, Kiyota, Fujima, Rukawa and Aki first decided to take Yuki home...or rather to their mansion. Then Fujima suddenly asked Aki, "Hey there Aki! Would you mind if I take you to your house?"
Rukawa didn't give Aki the chance to answer what Fujima had just said, "No!" he said. "Aki appreciates your kindness but I will be the one to take her home. Because I'm the one responsible for her...Remember? I'm his brother's best friend." he continued, but he thought Me and that Do'ahou!? Disgusting! But for the sake of Aki...
"Oh! Is that so? I didn't know you and that red-head guy are best friends... because you two are always in some kind of fight." Fujima said, really shocked.
Sendoh, Kiyota, and Fujima decided to go home while Yuki entered their HUGE mansion.
"Um... Bye Yuki..." Sendoh said, looking lovingly at Yuki's smiling face while Kiyota did the same. Sendoh noticed this and glared at Nobunaga but he didn't notice it. He was going to ask Yuki about something when...
"Ehem! Yuki, You go inside and tell the maids I'm just going to accompany Aki home. Ok!?" Rukawa said to Yuki but the truth was he just didn't want his sister to talk to Sendoh nor Kiyota.
"Ok Bro! Take care of Aki. Bye guys." Yuki said as she ran towards their mansion... while Rukawa gave both Sendoh and Kiyota a go-home look.
Then Rukawa decided to use one of their cars since it's already late.
"Aki? Is it alright if I use the car?" Rukawa asked.
"Sure! Why not!" Aki replied.
~
"Oh! It's raining! What the!? Wrong timing it's also traffic." Aki exclaimed, starting to be uncomfortable...because it's already 8:30 and its been 1/2 hours... She's sure her brother was very angry by now!
"Aki? Are you worried?" Rukawa asked, confused.
"Well, sort of! Because I'm really sure Bro. is really worried by now!" she replied, and was about to cry.
Rukawa looked at her. "Don't worry, I will explain it to Do'ahou. What I mean is Sakuragi! Just take a nap because I know you're really tired." Rukawa said with concern. "I'm just going to wake you up when we reach your house." He added. Aki just nodded.
Oh! Rukawa is such a gentleman, sweet, understanding, kind-- all of the qualities that I really like in a guy! Aki thought before she took her nap.
When the car stopped because of the traffic, Rukawa stared at Aki and got really confused about why he felt something different about her...
She's so pretty with a good sense of humor, smart. Sexy, kind and sports lover...traits of a girl that I've been looking for ever since... he thought. "I guess I don't need to find the girl I like because you're already here beside me." Rukawa murmured.
~
The rain stopped just as they reached the Sakuragi household.
"We're already here Aki." Rukawa said as he slightly woke Aki up.
"Huh!? We're here?" Aki asked, feeling suddenly nervous of her brother, because when she last checked her watch it's already 9:00.
Hanamichi, who's already wet by the rain was leaning on their gate as he waited for his sister. When Rukawa opened the door of the car for Aki, she's really worried and scared to death...Of course! Knowing Hanamichi Sakuragi!
"Sis! Enter the house, give yourself a hot bath, and go to sleep." Sakuragi said, very calmly.
Aki just nodded. "Bye Aki! Good night..." Rukawa said.
"Yeah! Same to you." Aki said then hurriedly went to their house.
Sakuragi stared at Rukawa. Rukawa got annoyed. "What? Got something to say Sakuragi?" Rukawa asked.
"NONE! Just don't let your grudges continue on my sister. Remember, the rivalry is just between us!" Sakuragi said.
"Yah! I know! Don't worry...." he replied. Then he went back to his car and headed for home...
