Well on with the story now. . .

Fujima sat at the bus stop by himself, obviously waiting for the bus to come so that he could go to school, but something was missing, his good friend, Kurako.

Something is wrong with Kurako, Fujima thought, I haven't seen her for at least three weeks now. I see her but we never get the chance to talk any more and everytime she sees me, she seems to be always running away. . . she never comes to catch the bus with me any more, let alone coming to my basketball practises, I wonder if something's wrong with her?

Kurako was at school already, she was in the library, trying to find books. But lately, she seemed to be so distracted, she knew exactly why, it was Fujima and Luciko, she wished that she had never met Fujima

Oh snap out of it! thought Kurako. Are you regretting because you've met such a nice boy like Fujima? Are you regretting that you've known Sendoh?

" OH SHUT UP! WHAT DOES SENDOH HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?" Kurako shouted out loud to herself.

Just at this moment, the librarian walked pass her, she gave Kurako a dirty look and said strictly, " Excuse me, young lady, did you know that this is a library? If you want to shout, go outside and shout as loudly as you want!"

" Yes miss. . ." Kurako mumbled, she wasn't exactly listening to the lecture.

The librarian continued, " Why are you still standing here?"

" Eh?"

" Get out!" the librarian pointed at the library door.

Kurako picked up her bag and walked out of the library. Gosh, she thought angrily, she needs to chill out, man, it's not like she hasn't talked to herself out loud before. Then Kurako blew a raspberry in the librarian's direction.

Kurako walked down the hallway, then she spotted her friends Winako, Maruko and Januko, she ran toward them and they waved to her.

Fujima walked down the stairs, suddenly he stopped, standing there in his sight was Kurako, he hadn't seen her smile for so long, he wanted to talk to her, there was so much he wanted to tell her. He was about to call out Kurako, but he hesitated, because he saw that she was with her friends.

Oh heck, Fujima! Do you want to talk to her or not? Thought Fujima angrily, and maybe you can find out why she has been avoiding you?

Fujima went with that thought and called out, " Kurako!"

Kurako heard her name and turned around immediately, " Oh my gosh, it's Fujima. . . " she thought, not sure whether she should talk to him.

Winako looked at Kurako slyly and cooed, " Here comes Prince Charming."

" Oh shut up, Winako." Kurako said, embarrassed.

Fujima stood where the girls were, he looked at Kurako delightedly, " Hi, Kurako!"

" Hi, Fujima. . . " kurako said without any enthusiasm, she wasn't suppose to talk to him, I've done enough damage to his friendship with luciko, I don't need to add to the damage, she thought.

Yet, she was very happy deep inside that he greeted her.

Januko nudged her friends, Maruko and Winako, indicating for them to go so that they could give Kurako and Fujima time alone together.

" Um. . . Kurako, we have to get something from. . . um. . . the. . ." Maruko said, unable to make up a lie.

" The hall!" Januko added in.

" I'll come with you guys," Kurako suggested.

Januko continued, " Oh it's ok, you just came here from the library, that was a long way, so u had enough exercise, stay here, we'll meet you in the classroom."

" Oh, ok then." Kurako was suspicious of her friends' intention.

" Bye!" Maruko waved.

" See you in the classroom!" Winako waved.

" See you later!" Januko waved too.

" Ah. . . ok, see you guys later. . ." Kurako waved, but with suspicion.

Kurako turned to look at Fujima, not knowing what to say, she wanted to go with her friends, but obviously, her sneaky friends were giving her a chance to be with Fujima. Kurako knew, but she didn't want to talk to Fujima. Yet the other part of her wanted to talk to Fujima so much that this moment was like a miracle for her.

" So. . . how have you been?" asked Fujima, trying to break up the uncomfortable atmosphere.

" Good, you?"

" I'm alright."

" That's good. . . "

" Um. . . have you been busy lately? I haven't seen you around much. . . " Fujima scratched his head, attempting his best to look casual.

" Yeah, school work. . . you know. . ." Kurako lied.

" Really?" Fujima didn't believe her, because he could tell that she was lying, " Listen, can I talk to you after school? In that park I showed you the other night?"

" Well. . . " Kurako, unsure of herself.

" It won't take long, please come, I need to talk to you." Fujima said, a bit forcefully.

" I guess. . . "

" Ok, whether you like it or not, I'm going to wait for you after school and you won't be able to escape because I'll be waiting outside the classroom before anyone can get out of your class." Fujima said playfully.

" Your Fujima Kenji secret, eh?" Kurako said, forgetting her unsure self.

Fujima smiled, he was glad that the Kurako he knew had come back into the conversation, " Yeah, that's right!"

Kurako's heart sunk, she hadn't seen Fujima's smile for so long, now she didn't want this moment to end at all!

" Ok then, I'll see you after school." Fujima waved, still smiling.

" See you!" smiled Kurako, the temptation to smile back at Fujima was irresistable.

Oh my gosh! Kurako, what have you done? She thought, what did you just do? why did you just promise to see him? Oh well, it won't do me or him or Luciko any harm, we're just going to talk, just talk. . .

~*~

The end of school bell rang, Kkurako packed her bag, at the same time, she was looking at the classroom door. Standing there was Fujima Kenji, waiting for her. She sighed and thought to herself: Why is life so hard?

Kurako grabbed her bag, farewelled her friends and walked to the door. The first person she saw was obviously Fujima, he was looking into the distance somewhere, his expression told her that he was deep in his thoughts. Kurako could have just walked off without Fujima realising it, in that case, she wouldn't have to talk to him at all. But Kurako's heart told her not to, she wanted to talk to Fujima more than wanting anything in this whole entire world at that moment, she wanted to see him smile, she wanted to laugh with him. Kurako thought, is this what liking someone's like? That nOthing can stop you feelings for him? Well, I hate it, yet I love it. . . how strange. . .

Kurako tapped Fujima lightly on the shoulder," Hey."

"Hi, Kuako!"

" So, lets go? To the park?"

" Ah yeah, lets go then!" Fujima encouraged.

They walked to the park, Kurako wouldn't say a word, she couldn't say anything, yet she wanted to tell him all the things that happened these past weeks, she had so much to tell him yet she couldn't say a word.

Fujima didn't dare breaking the silence, he was afraid that she might decide to run off and not talk to him altogether, so he stayed quiet, they both walked in silence, probably for the first time since they've met.

They soon reached the park and they walked to the place where Fujima showed Kurako the stars.

" So what do you want to talk about?" Kurako asked, with some kind of strain in her tone.

Fujima was surprised to find some coldness in Kurako's voice, this wasn't the Kurako he knew, he wanted to know why she had been avoiding him, the not knowing just bugged him.

" Are you ok?"

" Yeah. . . I'm fine. . . what do you mean?"

" I. . . I don't know, you just sound different. . ." Fujima said uncertainly.

" Oh really?" Kurako tried to sound casual, but deep down, she was hurt that she might lose her friendship with Fujima if she kept this up. She shook her head, trying hard not to think this way. " What did you want to talk to me about?"

Fujima looked intently at her, Kurako could feel her stomach churning, so she looked away, but Fujima didn't stop looking at her seriously. " Kurako, tell me, why have you been avoiding me? And don't say you haven't, because I know you have and I would like to know why."

Kurako was surprised by Fujima's matter-of-fact tone, so that's why he's the coach of the basketball team, he sure had the authority skills. Kurako shifted uneasily on her spot, " I've told you. . . I've been busy. . ."

Fujima just looked at her angrily. He wanted to explode, why wasn't she telling him the truth? What could possibly be wrong?

" You were so busy that you didn't even have time to say hi to me? I mean, fine, you don't come to my training, I can understand that. But you can't be so busy that everyone you see me at school, you just walk the other way and avoid me. And you can't possibly be so busy that you didn't catch the normal bus even once for the past three weeks! Why are you avoiding me? Did something happen? I want to." Before Fujima could finish his sentence, he found that he was partly shouting at Kurako, all his anger and questions couldn't be controlled, he just wanted to yell it all out and he almost did.

Kurako could feel tears rushing to her eyes and down her cheeks, she wanted to tell Fujima everything, about Luciko, about how she felt about him. But she couldn't tell Fujima any of those things. Now that her emotions were being pushed to the edge, she could only let the tears fall down from her face, she wanted to stop them but she couldn't, there was no way she could control them. Kurako stood there and cried her heart out for all the loneliness and troubles she felt for the past three weeks.

Fujima's heart felt as though something had stabbed right through it, he didn't know what it was. But watching Kurako cried, he felt hurt too, he knew that he shouldn't have had yelled at her. He stepped closer to Kurako, gently, he put his arms around her and held her tight.

He spoke into her hair softly, " I'm sorry, Kurako, it's ok, I'm sorry. . ."

One morning, Kurako was sitting at the bus stop, she had her walkman on and could not sense anything else around her except for the song. She closed her eyes and felt the words drowning deep into her soul, the song was filled with sweet sadness.

Fujima was walking to the bus stop, he could see Kurako. He could also see that she was listening to her music just too intently. He walked quietly toward her and poked her in the stomach.

" WAH!" Kurako squeaked. She turned around to see Fujima grinning evilly. " FUJIMA! You know exactly how ticklish I am! Hmph!"

Fujima just smiled wonderfully, " Forgive me?"

Kurako could feel the butterfly in her stomach again, Fujima's smile was melting her into pieces, she couldn't look at him, so she simply looked away and muttered, " it's ok."

" What are you listening to?"

" Just this really sweet song."

" Can I listen to it?"

" It's probably not your type. . . "

Fujima just looked at her simply, " Come on, let me see and we'll find out if it is my type or not."

Kurako shrugged, " Ok, you asked for it, Fujima Kenji."

Kurako took out one of her earplugs and gave it to Fujima. Fujima put it into his ear, Kurako could feel herself trembling, without realising it, she was watching Fujima's every move, she wanted to study his movement, the way his hand was structured. Oh, what are you doing to me, Fujima Kenji? She thought to herself.

The song played smoothingly in both of their ears:

If I die tonight, I'd go with no regrets.

If it's in your arms, then I know that I was blessed.

And if your eyes, are the last thing that I see

Then I know the beauty that heaven holds for me

But if I make it through, if I live to see the day,

If I'm with you, then I'll know just what to say,

The truth be told, girl you take my breath away,

Every minute, every hour, every day.

Cause every moment, we share together,

Is even better, then the moment before

If everyday was, as good as today was

Then I can't wait until tomorrow comes.

Fujima took out his earplug and turned to face Kurako, Kurako could feel her heart beating tremendously, she loved it when he looked at her with such sincere gaze.

" I love the song." He smiled, " I think this should be our song."

Kurako couldn't help smiling back and nodded. She had never thought that one of her favourite songs would become Fujima and her own song.

That night, Kurako was doing homework up in her room. Although she was concentrating hard on her work, she couldn't help smiling to herself , about how life was so great right now. She had totally forgotten about Luciko. Then the phone rang, Kurako rushed downstairs and picked it up.

" Moshi moshi?"

" Hi, is this Kurako?" a voice spoke.

" Yes, it is. . ."

" Hi, this is Yui's mum. . ." She sounded very upset, Kurako wondered what could possibly be wrong, " I have some bad news for you. . . Yui . . . Yui is unconcious in the hospital. . ." Kurako could hear Yui's mum's sobs.

Kurako couldn't believe her ears, " What happened?"

" Yui's been hit by a car after school. . . I don't know what really happened, but. . ." Yui's mum was crying now.

Kurako asked desperately, " Can I see her tomorrow?"

" Sure dear."

" Thank you, Yui's gonna be fine, don't worry." Although Kurako was saying that, she wasn't very sure.

" Thank you, Kurako, take care of yourself." Yui's mum said gently.

" I will, don't worry. You too, Mrs Ooishi, take care." With that, they both hung up.

Kurako could feel tears streaming down her face, Yui Ooishi was one of the bestest friends she ever had. Suddenly, her world tumbled down. With trembling hands, she picked up the phone and dialed Fujima's number.

A/N: hehee there you go.what's fujima gonna do? Is Yui gonna die? And what's happening with Luciko? Does she have more cunning plans? Well you'll find out in the next chapter..hehee
