Chapter 2
Touya had a large frown on his face. He was inside the dark room, retrieving some of the pictures he had taken of Sakura and his father the week before. He did not really know why he was so uptight. Perhaps he was just being overprotective of the kaijuu. There was a knock on the door and the said girl entered. "Phone for you. It's Kaho-sempai." She informed.
Finishing his work, Touya went to his room to pick up the extension line. What did Kaho want with him anyway? If she was going to ask for his assignment answers, she wasn't going to get any. "Did Yue call?" She asked right away. Touya frowned. Now he knew who gave away their home number. "Why did you give that jerk our number anyway? He should have apologized to Sakura personally."
After two hours on the phone, Touya realized that his ear was all red. He said his oyasumis to Kaho and hung up. He was exhausted and there was still soccer practice tomorrow. He lay down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
The next day, Touya woke up early as usual. Sakura had already prepared breakfast. As part of their routine, the two siblings went to school together. Just as they were about to reach the school, Sakura pointed someone to him. "Ne, Touya.. Isn't that Yue over there? What is he doing here?" She wondered. Touya hardened his eyes and dropped Sakua off. Yue looked at her and brought out a bouquet of flowers. He handed it to her. "Uh.. Arigato Yue-san!!! But what is this for?" She asked. The silver-haired senior shrugged and replied, "Gomen nasai for what happened before." With that, he turned around and left.
While Sakura was overjoyed with the flowers, Touya was not. He suspected that Kaho had said something to the new student again and it irked him that Yue might be mocking them. "What do you think you're doing?" Touya asked in his coldest voice. He received no response as Yue had already left. Feeling even more annoyed, Touya hurried to school and made up his mind to have a talk with his Kaho.
Surprisingly, Yue was not present in class that morning. "Where do you think he went off to?" Kaho asked during lunch. Touya grouchily munched on his lunch. "What do I care?!" He mumbled. By the time all the classes had ended, there was still no sign of the new guy and Touya felt much more relaxed. However, just as he opened his locker to change for soccer practice, he was shocked to find a bouquet of flowers waiting for him.
Yue watched the dark-haired lad's expression behind another locker. He had talked to Kaho earlier that morning and told her all about what transpired with the personal apology. It would have been fine to just leave Sakura with the flowers but the silver-haired student couldn't resist a chance to get on Touya Kinomoto's nerves. He found everything amusing and was glad that he had a source for his ideas. Who knew that Kaho enjoyed such entertainment? Well, he was going home for now. Tomorrow. He would deal with Kinomoto's wrath tomorrow.
After practice, Touya was left with the decision whether to take the flowers home or throw them away. After debating with himself, the soccer captain decided to take the flowers home to Sakura. The latter loved to press flowers. On his way home, Touya was grateful that there weren't a lot of people out on the streets. He felt ridiculous holding a large bouquet of flowers. By the time he reached home, Sakura had already eaten dinner and was fast asleep on the couch by the living room.
Touya shook his head and tried to get Sakura awake. "Oi, kaijuu!" He muttered, prodding his little sister with the flowers. She didn't wake and he realized that she was probabaly tired from doing all the household chores today. Sighing to himself, Touya laid the flowers down the table and carried Sakura to her room.
Making sure that Sakura was in a comfortable position, Touya tucked her in and closed off the lights. He still needed to eat dinner and he had a lot of homework to do. Plus, there was a photography club meeting tomorrow and he needed to get his notes in order.
The following morning, Sakura and Touya arrived at school earlier than usual. Tomoyo was already waiting for her best friend so Touya could leave for his own building. He climbed up the fourth floor and entered his classroom. He was not expecting anybody in since it was still too early. Imagine Touya's astonishment when he spotted a familiar looking lad seated next to his desk.
"Yue." Touya greeted in a cold manner. He knew that Yue was making fun of him and the senior decided not to get infuriated. Yue wasn't worth his time. Just then, someone came in and announced that there was an emergency meeting for the photography club. Touya rubbed his temples before picking up his camera and following the announcer.
Yue watched as the handsome lad left. He had no idea that Kinomoto was in the photography club. Well, at least he was in the archery club. He wasn't normally competitive but something in Touya sparked a fire inside him. He acquired the constant need to be better than Touya.
Later that afternoon, Touya found himself wandering about the school grounds. The members of the club have been assigned to take pictures of something that fascinated them. The results would be featured in a gallery exhibit. At first, his thought of capturing nature but trashed the idea since most of the members would probably be doing the same thing. Touya wanted his creation to be original and truly fascinating.
Touya looked up and saw that he was right beside the archery club. Kaho had practice today and the lad decided to see how she was doing. Maybe he could find something worthwhile to capture his lenses inside. Touya entered the wooden building and saw his friend at once. Kaho seemed to be taking a break as she was holding a glass of juice in one hand.
"Touya!" Kaho exclaimed as she approached him. "I never thought I'd see you here." Touya grinned and explained that he was just passing by. The woman smiled and led him further inside. "Maybe you could find something that might interest your camera here." She remarked, her eyes at his camera. Touya held up the contraption and scanned the area. His lenses stopped at a certain silver-haired archer. He had no idea that Yue was in the archery club.
He focused his lens on his enemy and stared. Yue was holding his blow as if it was a weapon and he was in a battle. Touya thought that he would make a fine soldier in another time. He watched as Yue let go and his arrow hit the target. As he positioned himself for another strike, Touya decided to capture the stance. It was like a fighting position. So grand, so superior.
Click!
Yue turned around when he noticed a flash to his right. He was mildly surprised to see Touya standing there with a camera in hand. He smirked smugly and prepared for another blow. He hit the target again and stared at the dark-haired youth, his eyes as if challenging Touya to top that.
Well, that's all for now. I hope I didn't mess this one up too badly. I'm just soo hungry and so sleepy.
