What am I doing? I'm wasting a whole lot of time here... I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I mean...this isn't my usual disclaimer, isn't it? So I'll just say that INOUE TAKEHIKO OWNS EVERYONE I USE IN MY FIC, except for the love potion part.

Chapter: Three


Okay. So Sakuragi and Rukawa drank the love potion all over again! Guess what happened?



That night... (After they drank their own concoction, that is)



"Hey. Rukawa." Sakuragi said.



"What?" Rukawa answered. "Is there a problem?"



"You said...our truce..."



"What about it?"



"Didn't you say our truce lasts until Micchy and Megane-kun drink that thing Micchy threw out his dorm window?"



"Well, yeah." Rukawa turned away.



"So I... um...I..." Surprisingly, Sakuragi started stammering.



"..."



"I...I...I..."



"If you're just going to do that thing this whole night through, I'm going to sleep." Rukawa declared.



"All right then, Rukawa." Feeling a bit sleepy himself, Sakuragi jumped in bed. He'd just settle everything with Rukawa tomorrow.



Rukawa turned his back on Sakuragi and pretended to be asleep, which wasn't exactly hard to do.



'How come he's so worried about our truce? Like he's so worried that it'll break. Does he want to stay that way forever?' Rukawa turned to face Sakuragi through seemingly closed eyes.



'But what if I just misunderstood him? I'll really be in trouble that way, if I tell him I like him and he thinks of something else. But I have to admit --- I like him better now.'



Sakuragi closed his eyes, but his mind was still awake. 'Rukawa seems a bit awkward tonight. I just don't know. Does he feel the same way I do?'



The two sophomores fell asleep a few minutes later. A shimmering scarlet light surrounding the two was enough to tell anybody the potion'd set in.

In the morning...



Sakuragi woke up, feeling light-headed. "Damn! Thinking about Rukawa really makes me feel weird. Speaking of Rukawa, where the hell is he?" he looked at Rukawa's bed. Everything was in place. The thick, fluffy powder blue blankets were folded neatly. The pillows were perfectly in place. Sakuragi's gaze landed on the alarm clock. It read: 10:00. "Oh no! I'm late! The genius is late! Aaaaaauuuuggggghhhhh!"





***** ***** *****



In class...



Rukawa tried hard to try to sleep. Surprisingly, he COULDN'T! He was about to go off to slumber land, when... 'Tensai!' Sakuragi would pop into his mind. Why?!



After several futile attempts at trying to sleep, Rukawa finally gave up. He propped his head on his hands and stared blankly at the board.



"There is no great difficulty in understanding Laberthonniere's hostility to Aristotelianism and traditional Thomism, a hostility which led him to take a dim view of what he regarded as the weak concessions made by Blondel to Aquinas and the Thomists. In Laberthonniere's opinion Aristotelianism was physics rather than metaphysics, even if part of it is labeled 'metaphysics'. And the god of Aristotle...." The teacher blabbered mindlessly. (I don't really know anything about what I just made the crackpot teacher say. If you're in college and you've taken Philosophy, maybe you'd understand that thing. I just copied it from one of my brother's textbooks)



His beady little eyes wandered to the back of the room. He expected to see a certain sleeping sophomore. But...that sophomore was actually...awake!



Well, he wasn't really awake. More like staring blankly in front of him. But the point is... he's awake! Awake!



"Rukawa!" the professor practically scampered up to Rukawa like a puppy running to its master. "Rukawa! You're awake!" he started to shake Rukawa's hands vigorously. "I'm so honored to have you awake in my class, Rukawa!"



He got a quizzical look in return.



"So tell me, is my class so much more interesting that you've finally decided to stay awake and listen?"



"I don't know. I wasn't listening." Rukawa said in a monotone. "Do aho," he decided to add.



His whole class sweatdropped.



***** ***** *****



"Okay! Assemble!" yelled Akagi, clapping his hands together. (He's still on the team, okay? And he's still the captain, too. I'm in no mood to create an OC)



"We're going to have a game tomorrow so make sure you're here early..."



Rukawa glanced at Sakuragi. He'd been trying to avoid him all day. He won't know how to act. But...he felt himself still getting attracted! What the hell was this?



Sakuragi glanced at Rukawa. He got surprised. Rukawa's looking at him!



Rukawa noticed Sakuragi looking at him. He lowered his lashes slightly.



Sakuragi stared. 'His lashes look so damn long. Shit! Looking at them would just make me look at his eyes, which in turn are just so addicting!'



One of Rukawa's black eyebrow's shot up. "Talk to you later," he managed to mouth.



"Hey, Rukawa." Miyagi elbowed his taller junior. "What are you trying to say to Hanamichi?" he drew his eyebrows together and wiggled them suggestively.



"Nothing, sempai."



"Oh, really? It didn't look like nothing to me."



"Nothing. Really." Rukawa insisted.



"You're lying," accused Miyagi.



"You've never heard me lie, have you?"



"No, but I almost never hear you speak, for that matter. And... I'm hearing you lie now." Miyagi grinned smugly.



"Really. I didn't say anything."



"Yeah, right. Look, Rukawa! You're blushing!" Miyagi teased, taking joy in tormenting his junior.



"I'm not," denied Rukawa, but he turned away all the same.



"Miyagi! Listen!" Akagi yelled angrily.



"Yes, boss!"



"Ryota, you can tease Rukawa if you want to, but later. Leave him alone now. It's obviously not the right time for that." Ayako told him.



"Aya-chan!" Miyagi's eyes turned into adorable little hearts.



***** ***** *****



"Mitsui. Man, you wouldn't believe what I just saw in practice." Miyagi told Mitsui.



"What? Was Ayako stripping, or something?" Mitsui said sarcastically.



A punch landed on Mitsui's arm. "Never say bad things about Aya-chan!"



"All right, all right! Just tell me, okay?"



"I actually saw Rukawa blushing!"



"Rukawa? Blushing? You can hardly even say those words together in one sentence! What did he blush about, anyway?"



Miyagi started to snicker.



"What? Did you just show him some dirty magazine or something?"



"And why the heck would I do that?"



"To poison Rukawa's innocent mind?"



"I'm not out to poison the minds of anyone, okay? Anyway, about Rukawa. He and Sakuragi were, like, talking to each other. And Rukawa said something unintelligible, so I teased him about it, and he blushed!"



"Man..."



"Isn't it great?" Miyagi grinned a lopsided grin.



"Great?" Mitsui looked curiously at Miyagi.



Miyagi was about to say something when someone knocked on the door. "Come in!"



"Here. It's for Hisashi Mitsui." A geeky-looking guy said, handing an envelope to Miyagi.



"Oh. Thanks." Miyagi closed the door after the guy. "Here, Mitsui."



Mitsui tore open the envelope and pulled out some pieces of pink flowered stationery. "It's just a letter from my cousin, the one who sends me all those love potion." His eyes scanned the contents of the letter quickly. "Here, I'll read it to you."



Dear Hisashi-kun,



How are you? Hope you're doing fine down there. I'm having some free time today and I'm using it to write to you. Anyway, just wanted to tell you about those new bottles of potion that I sent to you when you were leaving for school some weeks ago. They were new kinds of potion, you know.



They were both different from the previous ones, as I've already said. First, they come in bottles which are really unbreakable. Now matter how hard you try to break them, you'll never be able to do so. Second, if some one drinks that potion, he'll act differently at first. He'd deny the person he just fell in love with, but will fall for him later.



I guess that's basically all I have to say. I'll write you again when I remember something, okay?



In the meantime, have fun, but remember...do look at your books and notes from time to time!



Bye!



Your cousin,
Shimizu Akani


"So...when I threw those bottles out the window, they didn't break." Mitsui said thoughtfully.



"Like I told you." Miyagi replied. "I told you I didn't hear a crashing sound."



"So someone may have picked them up and messed around with them."



"Hhhhmmmm..... What if two young guys found them?"



"Two young guys? What two young guys?"



"One with piercing blue eyes, the other with flaming red hair..."



"Rukawa and Sakuragi? No way!"



"Yes way!"



"It's impossible, Miyagi!"



"It's possible! And maybe they drank it, too!"



"Why should they drink it?"



"Because they don't know what it is?"



"They're not five-year-olds, Miyagi."



"Oh. I forgot."



"Never mind."



"Never mind? What if something bad happens?"



"Like what?"



"What if Japan gets wiped out of the world map because of your potion things?!"



"Huh? You're watching too much cartoons, man."

Notes: Okay, so there wasn't much ruhana in this chapter. I think I'll get to that in chapter four. I'm sort of having a ruhana-writer's block right now. I just can't seem to get in the proper mood for writing ruhana (I'm pretty much a moody sort of person), which is totally weird for me.



Oh, well. Never mind. See you all in Chapter four! Bye!
