Chapter 14: Making It Official
[2 weeks later...]
"Excuse me, young master. There is a video call from Miss Nagawi," the butler addressed. "Hai. Thank you, Rai. You may be excused." Kiyoshi responded. He watched as his personal assistant left before going over to the sofa in that particular study room.
*TOOT* (he pressed a button)
The video call popped up on the wide movie screen. "Jason! Hello! Remember me?" said a girl, dressed in a light pink designer top and sitting in front of her laptop in what seemed to be a café. Kiyoshi laughed. "Haha. Ruby, of course I remember you. It's been very long since I last saw you. How's America?" he spoke through this device placed at his right ear. The girl had long black hair and she was pretty, not forgetting she had that air of elegance and poise of a rich family's daughter. She giggled first then said, "I'm glad you still remember me. Anyway, it's pretty nice here in America. I did loads of shopping here! Oh yeah, I came to tell you that I'm coming back to Japan in a week's time. I'll be staying at your house for a while because my parents need to go somewhere else. So how are you?"
Kiyoshi placed on his trademark smile. This cousin of his sure could cheer him up no matter what.
(A/N: Ruby is Kiyoshi's close cousin, although not blood related. Both their families were good friends and Ruby was his childhood best friend even until now)
"I'm fine. Although... I've met this really nice girl. Her name is Mimi and I like a lot," he confessed and Ruby could easily see a tint of red flush burning his cheeks.
Ruby huffed jealously for a moment, but smiled again, "Well, I wish you luck. But don't forget this!" Ruby held up her left hand where the forth finger had a ring. Kiyoshi laughed in a friendly manner, remembering that he gave her that ring on her birthday when they were rather young. Kiyoshi actually thought Ruby was just joking and pretending to be jealous, but Ruby, instead, thought that he gave her that ring because he liked her.
"Alright. Bye!"
"You too! See you in Japan!"
*TOOT* (end call)
Kiyoshi leaned against the sofa. 'Hmm... Even Ruby supports me to court Mimi. *Sigh* Maybe my actions aren't forward enough... What should I do? *Ponders* Perhaps- Perhaps I should officially court her! Yeah!' he thought, and a small contented smile crept onto his handsome features.
Kiyoshi stood up and walked back to his desk. It was then, he heard a beep from his laptop.
*BEEP* *1 new mail received*
Almost immediately after he took his seat, he opened the e-mail.
To: kyoshi_a@xxx.com
From: pinkruby@xxx.com
Message:
Jason! I'm sorry to disturb you again... *Heehee* Anyway, do u mind doing me a favour? Oh, I'm sure u will. Could u go down to Glizt for me please... I heard that they just had the new heart-shaped pin I really, really wanted. You must get it as soon as possible, ok? There's only two in Japan! Arigato! C'ya ^_^
*love, RUBY
After reading Ruby's e-mail, Kiyoshi chuckled and shook his head. This sure is Ruby. He kind of missed her when she isn't around. She was... like what you could say a sister he never had. Kiyoshi shut down his computer, and went down to the first floor. "Chris! Go get the car, I need to go somewhere," Kiyoshi told his chauffeur.
* * *
"Good afternoon, sir. May I help you?" asked the shop assistant as Kiyoshi entered the store. Glizt: a jewelry store that opens only one in many developed countries. "May I know what's the latest piece of jewelry?" he asked. "Oh, sure." The young lady took out two very pretty and identical boxes. She opened both of them revealing a heart-shaped hairpin with 24 glittering diamonds in each box.
"This is the latest piece that just came in today. It's a 24-diamond heart-shaped hairpin. Currently, we only have two. The 24 diamonds represent a everlasting love and so it is very ideal to give to your partner."
Kiyoshi nodded. 'Wow. This pin is really nice looking, it sure would look good on Mimi. I think I shall get one for her too,' he thought, having the image of Mimi's facial expression for a moment in his mind. "Erm- Alright, I'll take both. And kindly wrap them up for me please. Thank you."
* * *
[Next day...]
Whispers and the works of tongues spread through the hallways of the Highschool.
"Did you hear that Kiyoshi Akera recently joined our school's basketball team?" one girl said.
"Yeah, I know. Hey... I overheard that lot over there saying that Kiyoshi likes Mimi Tachikawa..."
"What? Are you sure? Oh no. We all don't stand a chance now, do we?"
"Haha! I think what's more interesting is how the fan club is gonna fall apart!"
Another side was having some major meeting.
"This must be stopped! If not this Kiyoshi Fan Club shall fall apart!" the leader cried out.
"But we don't even know whether the rumours are true!" voiced out one of the members.
"We cannot take any risk! Kiyoshi must remain in the bachelor list!"
"..."
(^_^")
While, on the other hand...
"Whoa! Why did he join the basketball team? I thought he's pro at track," asked a boy.
"I don't know. Girls say it's because he likes Mimi," said one.
"Aww man... I don't stand a chance!"
Everyone stares at him.
"Anyway, is he good?" asked another.
"He's not bad. Not surprised. He's good in everything!"
"Yeah... But I still feel that Matt is way better. He's our captain after all."
Then, out amongst the crowds and cliques... someone shouted:
"HEY! ALL OF YOU! COME AND WATCH KIYOSHI AKERA IN ACTION, MAN!"
And all of a sudden, as the clock ticked away one second of silence, a phenomenon occurred. Stampede!
* * *
*BOOM, BOOM* (basketball bounces against the wooden flooring of the court)
*SQUEAK, SQUEAK* (the friction of shoes)
*DUNG* (basketball hits the board and bounces into the net)
Kiyoshi was about to make his thirteenth shot when he heard a whole stampede rushing into the basketball hall. He stopped at his shooting position, and turned to look at what was going on. But what he got in return was a hundred pairs of eyes looking at him.
"Yes? Is something the matter?" he asked smoothly and shrugged. Some girls fainted. "Hey Kiyoshi! Show 'em some moves!" a particular boy shouted above the crowd and Kiyoshi noticed that it was one of his teammates. He smirked. 'This is my chance to show Mimi...'
"No problem!" he said, making an OK sign and a wink. More girls fainted.
*BOOM, BOOM, BOOM*
*WOOSH*
*DUNG*
Twists, turns, fakes, dribbles. The ball was everywhere and his body coordinated well with the movements.
-Mimi's POV-
I stared in shock. Boy was today turning weirder than usual. I came to school and here was a crowd watching Kiyoshi practise. He's good, I must admit. In fact, I was totally glued to his movements. I knew he was good, but I never thought he was this good. I couldn't help but smile.
-Kiyoshi's POV-
Oh, Mimi I just can't wait for this to be over. It's totally my perfect chance! In front of everyone here... I saw her smile to me. She was sitting on the same bench. I couldn't help but feel lighter. Whoops! Almost missed that.
-Matt's POV-
What's this? Hmph! I can do way better than that! Is that your best shot, Akera?
* * *
[After a while...]
Kiyoshi finished all the moves he know. Of course there's more to come, but in the mean time, he wanted so much to do... He went over to his bag that was placed on a chair beside the court. He heard the loud applause from his audiences. Kiyoshi rummaged through his bag and got out a small box.
"Today, I'm glad all of you are here... Because I want all of you to witness something," he said as he went over to the benches and hopped up a few ones. He got next to Mimi, and knelt in a proposing manner.
"Mimi, so do you wanna be my girlfriend?"
Shocked. That was the only word that registered into Mimi's mind. Her eyes grew wider and she unknowingly let out a small gasp. She looked down at the smiling Kiyoshi on one knee. First, her heart melted with his sincerity. Second, she looked at the crowd at the doors. Some were shaking their heads and mouthing the word, "NO". While others were nodding, and some shouted, "Take it already!"
She hesitated for a moment. And then...
* * *
To be continued...

A/N: ooooooh! cliffhanger there! aren't i irritating~* now, now- the inevitable question... will Mimi agree to Kiyoshi's proposal??? what do u think? REVIEWS! oh yeah, and do u know how thankful am i to all of u who reads this fic?
