Opposites Attract-Chapter five

Sakuragi quickly changed into his dry clothes and quickly went to the court to see who was still playing at this kind of time.He then opened the door and his eyes widened to see who it was 'Rukawa?'..he thought,this is the right time and chance to apologize to him.He slowly walked towards the busy kitsune and shouted "Oi kitsune,what are you still doing here?". Rukawa turned around and answered "Isn't it obvious?playing basketball do'ahou".Sakuragi ignored the last insult and approached near Rukawa,"Look kitsune,I wanna apologize for all the harsh things I said about you the other day,I didn't really mean to say those..it's just that I'm really hard to control once I'm very angry so I hope for your forgiveness and-", "Thath's ok"Rukawa cut Sakuragi off. "I'm sorry too,it was practically my fault for all of this,I should be the one asking for your forgiveness"he continued.Sakuragi's eyes narrowed, it was only now that he had ever heard Rukawa apologize and say 10 words in one sentence at least. "Look kitsune,I think it would be better if we forgot the past,end our disputes and start all over again?ne?"Sakuragi said and extended his right hand,"Truce?"he asked again.Rukawa extended his hand and replied "Truce".Sakuragi smiled happily at least all his guilt had now disappeared.

"Come on kitsune,I'll help you clean out the gym"Sakuragi offered since he was in such a good mood.They cleaned the gym all together and it was only a short time for them to finish up and clean the whole gym spotless and tidy.

When they were about to leave,Rukawa apporoached Sakuragi. "C'mon,I'll walk you home"Rukawa offered.Sakuragi was in a state of shock 'the kitsune offering to walk me home?now that's really really weird'Sakuragi thought to himself. "Umm..that would be unnecessary kitsune,I could go home alone,I can take care of myself and puls I'm not a baby anymore"he said calmly not to offend Rukawa. "But I insist"Rukawa said strongly dragging him out of the gym proceeding to Sakuragi's house.

At first their walk was very silent,Sakuragi hated that much of silent and decided to to start up a conversation first."So Sakuragi,hoe's it been?".Sakuragi could only give out an surprised face 'Now he's asking me about my condition?is if he cares anyway,this kitsune's freaking me out;he thought silently and managed to reply "Well life's really tough for me lately but somehow I manage to pull it off because I know that there are a lot of people who care for me and that makes me quite a lucky man,what about you kitsune?". Rukawa just gave out a shrug "My life is very rough,I lost both my parents,I don't have any friends plus it's very hard living alone"he replied in a kind of hurt voice. After hearing Rukawa's reply all that he had left was pity, "So is that why you keep yourself locked up from others?"Sakuragi asked again.Rukawa gave out a nod and said "When I was still young and my parents died I decided upon myself that I wouldn't be involved in human contact since I very much have the tendency to hurt those whom I care for and who cares for me also,I tried to avoid anyone so that I won't end up hurting them"he said,with tears beginning to form in his eyes. 'Oh my gosh!shit!the kitsune's crying,what should I do?'Sakuragi thought.

Not really sure of what to do and doing without thinking he approached Rukawa and wrapped him into a warm embrace and making circles around his back to give Rukawa comfort to ease the pain. Rukawa felt really warm and put his arms around Sakuragi's neck "There,there..there's no need to cry,I'm here so don't cry anymore"Sakuragi said gently still hugging the boy, Rukawa really felt love in Sakuragi,he never thought that the do'ahou could be such a sweet,gentle and not to mention a warm kind of person.

Rukawa was the first one to move apart,he slowly wiped his tears away and gave out his first ever true smile 'kitsune smiled?Am I just dreaming or something.Did I actually seem that kitsune smile?'he thought.In turn Sakuragi gave just gave out a smile and they continued to walk.

Sendoh was now very worried his Hana'chan is really late,his mind kept troubling him"Kami-sama!I hope nothing bad happends to my Hana-kun'he thought.A few more minutes he gave up and finally decided to look for his koi for himself.But then ,just aboutwhen he was about to do so,something outside the window caught his attention. 'What?Hana-kun and.Ru-Rukawa?,how could this be?are they even friends'he thought with curiosity.

"Umm.thanks for walking me home kitsune,sorry if I can't let you come in for today you see my house is a mess and I really haven't got the chance to clean up,maybe next time ne?"Sakuragi said politely. "Your welcome,oh it's no trouble at all,the pleasure was all mine.Well ja!See you tomorrow"Rukawa said and waved goodbye to Sakuragi. "Ja"Sakuragi shouted in response and then made his way to the warm and comfortable apartment.

"Tadaima!"he bellowed,Sendoh steeped out and act as if he saw nothing "Okaeri Hana-kun"he hugged Sakuragi. "I missed you"he continued. "I miss you too Akira-kun:came Sakuragi's reply.

Sakuragi sat himself down and was ready to eat dinner,Sendoh went inside the kitchen 'No it can't be,maybe they just recently became friends.I shouldn't be jealous,Hana-kun loves me not some Ice Prince'he thought convincingly and made hos way to the table bringing all the food for him and his koi to eat.

Once everything was set,Hanamichi displayed his great hunger and quickly grabbed some food and chomped it greedily.Sendoh was so surprised of Sakuragi's mannerism,he haven't seen his Hana-kun eat his food cheerfully when he was so bent of shape at their date last night but still he could not help but to smile at his weird but loving lover.

After dinner Sendoh washed all the dishes and joined his koi in their bedroom.He lay himself down beside his lover and bean to snuggle up to him."Not now Akira-kun,I'm still tired from practice,some other time okay?"Sakuragi spoke out.

Immediately Sendoh took away his hands and turned over to the other side thinking 'Why is he suddenly so cold to me,he has never been cold to me before'he paused and smiled 'Nah!maybe he's just tired from practice,better give him room,he'll be okay by tomorrow morning'he thought again and drifted himself off to sleep.

That morning as he guessed Sakuragi was his usual genki self again maybe it was just stress that's driving his koi very restless. "Ohayou Akira- kun"Sakuragi said sleepily rubbing his eyes striving to fully wake up and face the world.Sendoh just smiled and responded "Ohayou"seeing his koi was very cheerful today he leaned in more forward to give his koi a short kiss on the forehead.

After breakfast Hanamichi did the same routine,get his coat,say goodbye to his lover,a quick hug and kiss then he was off to school.As he was walking quietly in the path he usually takes he felt as if somebody was following him or something,he quickly changed his walking face into fast to lose the person who's said to be following him.

"Oi matte ,Sakuragi!"a voice called out,Sakuragi stopped dead on his tracks and turned around to see who was following him and gave out a shocked expression after seeing the anonymous person.
