Three Shrewd Ways to Ruin a Wedding

The phone rang again. For the third time. Rukawa growled and picked it up. "Yeah?" He answered gruffly.

"Oh Rukawa, its Ayako. Listen, the team and I decided to go out and have fun. Wanna come?"

"No." Was his quick reply.

"But Rukawa, just this once. It'll be fun!" Ayako's cheeriness was tempting.

"Fine, where?"

"Raven. Seven PM." She answered and hung up.

Rukawa held on to the phone for a minute before placing it down. He really didn't want to see anybody, but then again, when did he want to socialize? But, the night would take his mind off certain things. Rather, a certain someone. Ever since he kissed Miyuki the night before, he was confused and angry that she pushed him away. It wasn't right anyway. They were going to be stepsiblings in two weeks and they came too late.

Rukawa glanced at his watch: 6:38PM. He stood and grabbed a black jacket. What could he do to stop this marriage? Tell them that I'm gay? But no, because what does being gay have to do with their marriage? Tell them that Miyuki and I like each other. Nope, because as Miyuki said, 'we can't jeopardize their happiness after their long suffering.' What is suffering anyway? Not being with someone that I like. That I really care for. He sighed, and went out the door.

"Oi, Rukawa. I never thought you would show up." Mitsui greeted the raven-haired boy once he got inside.

"Hn." He murmured and took a seat beside Ayako.

"Rukawa, are you okay?" She asked in concern. He nodded and watched the Shohoku team danced with some girls they just met. Miyagi was also there. "Rukawa, something's the matter. You aren't sleeping and you aren't drooling. Did something happen between you and Miyuki?

Rukawa gave her a blank stare.

"You and Miyuki are getting along right?"

He didn't blink.

"Rukawa?" She persisted.

"I kissed her." He finally answered.

Ayako's eyes widened. "Kissed her? When?" Her lips were curving up in a smile.

"On Monday. I stayed after practice and she was there after school too. And it just happened." He frowned when he saw Ayako smiling widely.

"I knew you two were perfect with each other. But wait…you two are going to be siblings. That isn't right."

Rukawa nodded slowly. I don't know what to do." He leaned back and sighed.

"Maybe you should talk to Miyuki and her mom. Tell Miyuki that, o, I don't know, you like her. A lot. Looks like the cold Kaede has become soft." She exclaimed.

"I don't like her." He replied gruffly.

Ayako laughed. "Denial. You like her. Kami-sama Rukawa, you kissed Miyuki! You kissed her!"

"Nani? You kissed Miyuki? Kitsune kissed Miyuki." A familiar laugh bellowed and Rukawa stood angrily.

"Do'aho."

Sakuragi stopped laughing and glared at Rukawa. "Baka kitsune."

Rukawa shut his eyes and his fist flew straight at Sakuragi's jaw. Sakuragi stumbled back. "Baka!" He shouted and tried to retaliate but the team was holding him back.

"What's his problem?" Miyagi asked Ayako. She shrugged. "Love problems." They all gave her vexed looks.

Sakuragi crawled to a chair. "He kissed Miyuki." He replied bluntly.

"NANI?!?!"
