Chapter Dedication: meep, denise, Misaki Asuka and Kurei
Summary: Fuuko, the tomboyish-and-never-will-be-liked-by-any-guy type of girl according to the girls in school (Mikagami's fans), has aces in her hands.
This causes outrage among the aces' fans and friends and among people who knew her since they saw Fujima and Rukawa around her. Something weird is up though.
Rukawa, who was just her best friend from long ago, seems to have a change in him. What will happen when a best friend finds himself falling for the girl who seems to see him only as a best friend and nothing more?
Chapter 13:
"Fuuko, are you alright?" Mikagami's voice interrupted as he strode towards Fuuko's other side with long and deliberate strides. He placed a hand on Fuuko's forehead under the pretense of taking her temperature all the while ignoring Rukawa's death glares.
(Rukawa's POV)
Damn this soap opera heroine look-alike! Doesn't he even realize that he's all over Fuu-chan like some leech-like admirer?! He doesn't even notice that I'm giving him nasty looks! What an oblivious moronic girl look-alike!
(Mikagami's POV)
It's almost killing me.
This urge not to smirk at Rukawa's reaction is almost overwhelming that preventing my self from smirking is absolutely killing me and even draining my normally infinite self-control. I never thought that stepping my foot in Fuuko's life could get THIS amusing.
I wish I could've done this sooner. At least it would save me from all the headache I have had because of those girls who follow me everywhere.
(Fujima's POV)
When Sendoh and I made an entrance in Fuu-chan's room minutes later after Mikagami's entrance, I didn't know whether to feel victorious or worried.
Rukawa looked like he was going to slam Mikagami to the nearest wall and slam his fist on this silver-headed bishounen brother-like friend of Fuu-chan until the guy is dead and disfigured enough not to be identified.
The plan is working but Mikagami is seriously going to get his head in a guillotine. Somehow I think as early as now, I'm not perfectly sure about this whole thing anymore.
(Sendoh's POV)
The plan is actually working! I honestly didn't think it'd be successful taking into consideration that this whole jealous set-up is overly clichéd.
But seeing the initial results, I already feel safe. Now Fuuko will definitely drop her thought of me and Rukawa being lovers.
Yuck! Just the thought of that makes me want to puke. Yech!
(Fuuko's POV)
Are they all nuts or are they all nuts?! Goodness! Can't they freaking see that I was screaming because I think I saw a spider crawl on the blasted door?! And what's with Mi-chan morphing into a concerned ice man? What's this? The world's gone insane?
"Could you stop fussing over me?!" I snapped at both Kaede and Mi-chan. Goodness! They make me think like I'm so helpless!
"I was just… worried, Fuuko," Mikagami said instantly. Bananas! For someone who's worried, he sure does look like he was going to burst out laughing before he said the word worried. What? Trying to be sarcastic again?
Kaede merely shrugged and continued to fuss over me anyway. Is he a dope or what?! Why is he doing this in front of his ex-boyfriend?! Curly tops! This would make my work harder than it already is!
"Kaede, stop it! I am not some weak princess that you need to fuss over!"
(Sendoh's POV)
Is it just me or is Mikagami really about to burst out laughing when Fuuko said something about princess? What's wrong with Fuuko being a princess? It's not like she's really that dangerously barbaric, is she?
(Rukawa's POV)
I resisted the strong urge to glare at Mikagami. Damn! This is all his fault! Now Fuu-chan is pushing me away like she doesn't need me anymore. I really hate this!
"Fuu-chan," I said in a strained voice. "Please be quiet and let me see what's wrong."
She clenched her jaw but didn't glare at me. Of course I know she's just dying to do that. But since I still am her Kaede, she can't just do that. Good. At least I still have some value to her.
"I just saw some spider, okay? I'm not sick or dying yet but I will be sick or preferably dead if all of you don't search for that thing and get rid of it! How'd it get into this place anyway?!"
She continued whining but upon the looks of Fujima and the other two, I just knew that they were responsible for the spider.
I wonder what they're up to. Fujima would rather dunk his own head in the ring than do something bad to Fuu-chan. But he's a strategist so this could mean he's looking out for Fuu-chan's future life. What for? It's not like I can't do that on my own.
"Hey! Is anyone listening to me?!"
I looked back at Fuu-chan and noticed that she was upset.
"Uh, sorry, Fuu-chan. I was–"
"No. I understand really," she interrupted hastily after looking at Sendoh knowingly for a quick while. I could almost see her eyes telling me 'You were thinking of Sendoh. It's okay, really. Go on and think about him.'
Bananas! What is wrong with her? Does she think I'm involved with the smiling porcupine? Because if she does, I think I'm going to kill Sendoh for this.
"Fuu-chan, let's go for a walk," I suggested to keep my mind from plotting on how to murder Sendoh.
She looked at me and then Sendoh. She turned to me after a while and shook her head. "No. I think I'd rather stay here and have Mi-chan and Kenji fuss over me. You and Akira could have some time together."
Fujima raised a brow like he was wondering if there was something he didn't know of. Mikagami looked away, looking as if he was trying not to laugh. And Sendoh? He looked like he knew something about what Fuu-chan was talking about. And I'm just itching to throttle the truth out of him.
"But Fuu-chan–"
She hoped out of bed and dragged me out together with Sendoh. She soon pushed us out of the house and gave me and Sendoh a wink and said good luck before slamming the door shut and locking it.
I glared at Sendoh and he smiled at me nervously. Exactly what is going on?!
(Fuuko's POV)
After I managed to leave Mi-chan and Kenji together in the house and Kaede and Akira out of the house, I pretended to lock myself in my room only to sneak out through the back door to meet up with Kiyota.
I think he'd be here a few seconds later. We were supposed to meet in the park but that would alert Kenji's fans and maybe they would alert him. This would ruin whatever plan for Akira and Kaede's reconciliation.
"Sorry. I had a hard time trying to convince Maki that I need to be on an important appointment."
I looked at Kiyota. He was pretty messed up like he ran the entire country just to reach me on time.
"It's okay." I said and glanced around the alley. "Let's get on with the fun?"
He grinned and nodded. I really do get along with him. Thank goodness! I would've pulled my hair out if I didn't have any help with this mess!
Fujima frowned. "I should've known she'd be sneaking out."
"Don't mind it. She'll always be tricky," Mikagami said casually, sitting on the couch like everything was perfectly fine. "So, shall the plans go on?"
"Yes. By the way, do you have an idea about Sendoh and Rukawa?"
Mikagami merely raised a brow.
"Why is Fuu-chan acting as if Rukawa and Sendoh are–"
"I think she thinks that's the case. Your cousin has the wildest imagination. She might have possibly mistaken an event or word into something that it really is not."
"You seem so calm about everything."
The silver-haired bishounen merely shrugged. "Is Sendoh coming or has he died in Rukawa's hands?"
Fujima shook his head. "I'm calm. But I can't talk of death that way. You and Fuu-chan scare me sometimes."
"Deal with it."
"You're certainly from the Ice Tribe."
Mikagami didn't react. He only looked at his watch. A while later, they continued to discuss about Sendoh, Rukawa, and Fuuko.
The tension was scaring Fujima. Any minute now, Mikagami would be coming and the plan would proceed. But after seeing Sendoh's current state, he seriously doubted they'd live through all this.
When Sendoh came back, he looked as if he had been hanged and used as a punching bag. And when he explained, he said that Rukawa had forced him to tell something serious. Mikagami was right. Fuuko had mistaken Sendoh and Rukawa as involved romantically.
Sendoh was trying hard to explain to Fujima when he had recounted the tale about him and Rukawa. But of course, since he had a discussion with Mikagami about it while waiting for Sendoh, he didn't have to be shocked so much. At least Rukawa still doesn't know that they are up to something.
"Sorry I was late. I overslept." Fuuko reasoned as she sat down for dinner.
"It's okay." Fujima replied, pretending that he didn't know Fuuko had sneaked out.
Fuuko nodded and then turned to Sendoh. "What happened to you?"
"I was," Sendoh thought of an excuse. He wasn't a good liar to begin with and Fuuko might detect something.
"Is Rukawa coming?" Fujima interrupted to save Sendoh.
Fuuko nodded but focused on Sendoh. "You were?"
Rukawa sat down beside her. Sendoh turned to Fujima who coughed up.
"I had a little trouble with Koganei and Ganko," Mikagami interrupted as he walked towards Fuuko and sat down on her other side. "You look nice."
Question marks hovered on her head. She was wearing the clothes Ganko had gotten for her by mistake long ago. Ganko had thought she might substitute her Fuuko-neechan's pajamas with something even bigger. So now Fuuko was wearing an oversized shirt and an oversized jogging pants and her hair was mussed up from all the running she did to get home on time.
(Rukawa's POV)
I really hate everything!
Here I am, sitting beside Fuu-chan and having dinner with other three meddling people. Why can't they all leave us be?!
"Oh really, Mi-chan?"
Mikagami nodded and smirked. I hate it when he does that! I must admit that he looks damn good with that smirk and there's no telling what effect that smirk has on Fuu-chan.
"You're really so good, Mi-chan! Your wife would be so lucky you know."
"You would be."
I resisted the urge to kill him right on the spot. He was practically flirting with Fuu-chan!
"Mikagami's right. You would be so lucky," Fujima agreed while Sendoh nodded.
I looked at Fuu-chan. She was just grinning. "Yeah right. It's not like I'd be his wife."
"You could be." Mikagami said, looking amused.
Damn it! With Mikagami flirting with Fuu-chan non-stop and with Fujima and Sendoh agreeing and supporting him all the way, I will most likely drag Fuu-chan out and just have dinner with her in the hotel. Then I'd lock her up in my room while I dispatch of these three.
What are they trying to do?! Morph Fuu-chan into some flirty bimbo?! Damn I hate all this!
"Fuu-chan," I interrupted, trying to make my voice sound devoid of emotions. But I know I'm failing miserably. I sound like some jealous, threatening boyfriend.
She turned to me and frowned. "Is something wrong? I wasn't flirting with your Akira."
She suddenly paled and looked at Mikagami and Fujima nervously. "I think I… Ahahahahaha… I think I need more sleep. Ahahahahaha. I'm saying weird things."
I know my eyes were narrowing. Since she suspects me and Sendoh to be involved, is it possible that she thinks I'm brooding because she thinks that I think she's flirting with my supposed boyfriend?!
She stood up. "I'm sleeping. Ahahahahaha. Sorry for whatever I said. Just don't take me seriously."
Before she could walk out completely, I glared at everyone in the table and stood up to follow her. This way of thinking has got to stop!
When she was inside her room, she was about to lock it. But I interfered and entered. She looked nervously at me like I was going to kill her.
"Fuu-chan."
She gulped. I couldn't blame her. My voice sounded so threatening. Bananas! I just hate myself for that.
"What's, um, up?" She asked, fidgeting slightly before she hopped on the bed. "I'm tired. Can we just, um, talk tomorrow?"
I stared at her. I can't believe that she's actually scared of me. It's not like I'd kill her if ever I find out that she's plotting to get me and Sendoh together. But I hope she's not plotting for THAT. I'd kill Sendoh and she'd be so devastated that she'll probably run straight for Mikagami's arms. And I can't let that happen!
I don't want anyone hurting her. She protected me before, now it's my turn to protect her.
"I'm sorry for the threatening voice." I said softly.
She looked at me, puzzled. Then she smiled. "You sure can change fast."
"For you."
She smiled even more. "You know, Kaede, I just love the fact that I still have so much value to you. Hey, would you strangle me if I ask you to keep me company tonight?"
"Huh?"
"You know. Just to talk while we still can talk. We don't always have time together. You'd find love again."
"Again?"
She coughed nervously. "Forget that part. So will you?"
"Do you think I can say no to you?"
She grinned and patted the part of the bed beside her.
(Ayako's POV)
Mikagami-san had carried an exciting Koganei-chan inside the gym. Koganei-chan had always been a frequent guest here and he's such a dear assistant.
"Where is Rukawa now?!" Miyagi ranted as he entered the gym from the locker room.
"I think I may know," Mikagami-san said casually. He's really so cute!
"Oh?" I asked, raising a brow.
Koganei-chan greeted me and went off to greet the other players in the gym and in the locker room.
"We had dinner with Fuuko last night. I think he stayed over. You might want to just check it out for yourselves. I may be wrong."
My curiosity was really piqued. "Aren't you… um… jealous?"
He looked a bit amused before he turned serious for some reason like he remembered something. "They're just best friends, right? Fuuko wouldn't really spend her night with him if they're something more, would she?"
"No, I don't think so." I said, shaking my head. "She's a great girl."
He nodded. "So, there's nothing to be jealous about. My girl would be alright and Rukawa would not snoop around seducing my girl." He looked at the gym door before looking back at me. "Well, if you want to go, I could stay here for a while and help Koganei handle the rest here. I take it that he knows much from spending time here?"
"Yes. And he's such a help." I hesitated for a few seconds. "Would you really stay for a while? I want to go and check on Rukawa."
He nodded as if he was triumphant over something. But I could be wrong. "You may want to take a couple more people, just in case you need to have a search party for him."
I looked at him with suspicion. Is he up to something? But he looked at me calmly then. Maybe I'm just thinking so much. I really need some rest.
Sakuragi came in and began talking to Miyagi about Rukawa. I sighed. Maybe I'd just take them and keep an eye on them. There's no telling what havoc they'd cause here if I leave.
But before we could leave, Mitsui-senpai came in with Chiharu-san. I had asked them to help me but I'm going to have to leave them to help Mikagami-san instead. Rukawa has got to stop with his madness! And I'll make sure I make him stop, even if I have to personally fix his problem.
*****
I just couldn't believe it! We couldn't believe it!
Rukawa had actually seduced Mikagami-san's girlfriend! Oh the shame! He's spending all his time off practice to seduce someone else's girlfriend. Why I'm really gonna whack his head off! And to think I thought that I need to watch over Miyagi and Sakuragi!
Now here is Shohoku's Ice Prince in bed with Mikagami-san's gorgeous girlfriend. Fuuko-san's head was on his chest and his arms were wrapped around her protectively. He was smiling faintly but we couldn't see Fuuko-san's face since it was obscured by her hair. She was even wearing Rukawa's clothes! I mean why would a sexy girl like her have baggy clothes unless they're not hers?
Oh goodness! Rukawa, how could you do this?!
Unable to prevent patience from snapping because of all this outrageousness, I stomped over to them. He'll be in for such a punishment!

Author's Note: It's still me Haze but I changed my name for reasons that I've ranted about in my bio. Anyway, I'm really sorry if there isn't any humor here but I guess it just has something to do with my mood in regards to this one coz it got removed for the reasons that I don't seem to connect so well not that I'm washing my hands on this. But whatever. What has been done cannot be undone.
As I said in my bio, the RuFu won so yeah I'm going do it as that. I hope that's not a major tick off to the ones who voted for ToFu.
To meep, I was wondering too how come the reason is mst. Pretty weird.
To denise, thanks for the advise and I hope what happened doesn't happen to you, too. It's pretty frustrating that it could take your mood off writing. It happened to me T_T
To Misaki Asuka, well I wasn't going to repost coz I totally hated what happened but to be fair to those who had followed this, I just had to do that.
To Kurei, well my piles and piles of chapters was wiped off from the net for mst, chat, real-person based reasons. I don't know where they got those thingies. Hey, I'm glad that the 'oh my gorilla's bananas' part still has its hold on you.
Lastly, I'm once again thanking those who had supported this story before it was removed and to those who reviewed the one before this where I compiled the chapters removed. Thanks meep, denise, Misaki Asuka, Kurei. I'm grateful for the reviews on the previous one. It consoled me especially since all those mounds of reviews got wiped out and it's so awful I really hate it. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this even if it had no humor. Drop me a review, pretty please? Have a nice day/night everyone.
