Title: More Love Potion?!

Notes: I'm sorry I wasn't really able to update anything that much. It's just because I spent a whole lot of time writing the class prophecy for our graduating class. The whole thing was 10 pages long!
I'm guess I've gotten over my writer's block now. I think. I'll try to write, anyway.
Chapter Four:
In Sakuragi and Rukawa's dorm room...
Sakuragi sat nervously on a chair, waiting for Rukawa. What could he possibly want to say?
The door opened and shut. Rukawa stood by the door, carrying his gym bag. "Sorry I'm late."
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well," Rukawa sat facing Sakuragi. "It's about the truce we held. Do you want to break it, or not? Its time is up...but..."
Sakuragi looked down. For the first time ever, he didn't know what to say.
"I don't," Rukawa said.
Sakuragi looked up again and faced Rukawa bewilderedly.
Rukawa blinked at Sakuragi's expression. "What I mean is... I don't want to break this truce."
"You don't?"
"Well...if you want to break it, it's ok."
"No, Rukawa. But...truce doesn't seem to be enough."
"Huh?"
"I want to be your friend."
"If you want to...then...it's alright." Rukawa's usually cold expression softened up a bit. "But..."
"But what?"
" 'Friends' doesn't seem enough..."
"Wwwwwhhhhhaaaaaaatttttt?"
***** ***** *****
"You know, I've got a feeling Rukawa and Sakuragi did drink my potion. Even if I don't know exactly how," Mitsui told Miyagi.
"Ha! That's what you get for not trusting me and not listening to me!"
"Seriously."
"Okay, man. I'm serious. When did they start acting weird?"
Mitsui searched though his brain. "Hey, weren't you the one who started saying the Rukawa and Sakuragi're acting weird?"
"Oh, yeah. I sort of forgot. That was...just a few minutes ago."
"A few minutes ago and you forgot?! What kind of mind do you have, anyway?"
"Who are you to say that? You also forgot!"
"Oh." Mitsui realized the truth in Miyagi's words.
A light bulb clicked on in Miyagi's brain. "Let's ask Aya-chan!" he started to blush. "She knows everything..."
"You just want to get a glimpse of her tonight," Mitsui said knowingly. "But I guess we've got nothing to lose. Let's go, then."
***** ***** *****
Sakuragi's eyes widened at Rukawa's last words. Rukawa turned away.
Sakuragi felt so relieved. "I've been waiting for that."
"That's good."
They both exchanged a hug.
"Hey," Rukawa said.
"What is it?"
"We'll never be apart."
"Promise?"
"Sure."
"A promise is a promise, all right?"
"Of course. Forever."
***** ***** *****
"So what did you want to ask me, anyway?" Ayako asked Miyagi and Mitsui.
"They had all agreed to meet outside the girls' dorm to talk."
"Aya-chan!" drooled Miyagi, with pink heart-shaped eyes.
"Huh?" Ayako raised an eyebrow quizzically. "I'm serious, Ryota."
Mitsui smiled at Miyagi's apparent lovesick-ness. "Actually, Ayako, we just wanted to ask you about Rukawa and Sakuragi."
"Yeah? What about them?"
"Aya-chan, have you noticed them acting weird lately?" asked Miyagi.
"Acting weird? Hhhmmm..." Ayako tried to recall a particular occasion.
"When they were acting totally out of character," Mitsui added.
"And they're not acting normal," Miyagi put in.
"Hmm... out of character... not acting normal... oh yeah!" Ayako slapped a hand on her forehead.
"What?!" the two guys asked.
"Don't you remember that night I gave everyone a bunch of cups of soda after practice? Sakuragi and Rukawa were really well behaved that day. There was no 'ore wa tensai' stuff at all. Most of all, they didn't even fight. And you know what happened soon after that?"
"Aya-chan!" Miyagi drooled.
"What?" Mitsui asked.
"Well, I saw them both carrying cups of soda. They said they wanted to give it to you, Mitsui-sempai. And Kogure-sempai, too. That's pretty out of character, isn't it?"
"Yes, Aya-chan."
"Thanks for the info, Ayako-san." Mitsui said.
"Yeah. Thanks." Miyagi added.
"Sure, but why are you so concerned, anyway?" Ayako wrinkled her brow. "Is anything wrong?"
"Nothing, really. We just felt like asking about them."
"Uh...you know...because they're our juniors, teammates, and all."
"Oh...okay." Ayako replied. "Good night, you guys."
"Oyasumi!" the two guys replied. They walked in the direction of their own dorm. Everything Ayako told them just made a lot of sense.
"I told you, Mitsui, Aya-chan knows every single thing!" Miyagi said proudly.
"So they did drink my potion after all," Mitsui said out of the blue.
"Yeah, and they tried to set you up with Kogure, too." Miyagi snickered. "Man, too bad that didn't work. It should have been cool!" Mitsui gave Miyagi a death glare.
"Don't you think I should let them know about it?" Mitsui asked.
"I think you should. Besides not everyone likes to get beaten, do you?" Miyagi answered. "You should tell them. I think. I wonder if it'll work, though."
"I'll think of a way."
Miyagi gave Mitsui a long look.
"I swear."
