Two chapters in one day that's good. Well here it is.
Chapter 10
Let's talk
A good three weeks have passed. It was still winter and Christmas was around the corner. The school was having a festival two days before Christmas and girls asking boys, boys asking girls was the main thing going on around the school campus. Girls were constantly asking Yami and Joey out. Each one turned down. Hoshi was having a similar problem. Only in her case, were ten girls would asked Yami and Joey, five boys would ask her. Not as much as Yami and Joey but enough to drive her crazy.
Joey was thinking of asking Mai to the festival since you could ask someone outside of school. Only problem was he forgot her number. Luckily for him Yami had it and gave it to him. Yami was thinking of asking Hoshi. But for some odd reason every chance he got someone interrupted him. Hoshi was thinking the same thing. Another thing that was holding him back was Matt. Yami was sure that Matt would kill him. Also both of them were afraid of what the other was going to say. Joey on the other hand was trying hard to get Yami to ask Hoshi. Yami wanted to but he finally decided that he'll ask Matt first and if he doesn't kill him then he'll ask Hoshi. Looks like he got his wish because on this very day, Yami was in the Game Shop, looking outside the window when Yamato ran by. Why was Matt running? For a very good reason. There was a mob of fan girls asking Matt to the festival running after him. Yami was going to ask him right then and there if he could take his sister to the festival. If he could get to him and make it out alive.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!"
Yami looked outside the window. *What was that yelling about,* he thought. He had just evaded a couple of girls who were asking him about the festival. Right now he was in the game shop, staring out the window watching the snowfall. He looked just in time for Matt to run across the street. Following him was a mob of girls screaming about something. It took one guess, the festival. Yami sigh, he knew what Matt was going through. It got annoying after awhile. Just as Matt ran by the shop again, Yami grabbed him. Matt was a bit surprise that he was running at one point then in a game shop standing next to Yami.
"What," he said.
"Sorry about that. But if I didn't do that you were going to be some girl date for the festival," said Yami.
"It's ok," said Matt. "Is this were you live?"
"Yeah. My grandfather runs it."
"Nice."
"Thanks."
There was a few moments of silence. After a while Matt spoke up, "You like her don't you?"
"Huh," asked Yami, puzzled on what Yamato was talking about.
"Hoshi." Yamato reply was short and flat.
"Um yeah I guess you could say that. How did you know," said Yami mentally wincing at the thought of what Yamato was going to do to him.
But to his surprise Yamato didn't do anything like that. In fact he just smiled. "I knew it. So are you going to ask her to the festival?"
Yami was shocked. At the least he excepted a small speech saying that he couldn't take her or something. "I was planning to."
"But can't find a moment to ask her," finish Yamato.
"Yeah," said Yami not believing his ears. "How do you know all of this and I thought you don't like boys asking you sister out."
"True I don't like boys asking my sister these kind of things. But I'll make an exception for you and Joey. From what I know Joey isn't after my sister heart but you are," said Matt.
"How did you know," asked Yami. He was still confused on how Matt knew all of this.
"I listen and look," said Matt. "It not hard to tell sometime. Obvious to other, I have my ways of finding out. If I had to pick between you and some else in the past who asked to take out to Hoshi, I would choose you."
"Why me," asked Yami.
"Because you saw through her mask, saw her when she was invisible. Hoshi doesn't have any real friends beside those who you met like Tai. But in the beginning they were my friends and in a way Hoshi always felt left out a bit. Like she didn't belong in our group. She always felt like that. No matter hard we tried to convince her other wise," said Yamato.
"Why?"
"It's a long story."
"I have time."
"I have a better idea. You ask Hoshi to the festival and then I'll tell you."
"You really want me to take Hoshi to the festival," question Yami.
Yamato nodded, "Better than some jerk. Though you so be care. She just may knock you out by accident."
"What do you mean?"
"Hoshi hates it just as much as I do when boys ask her to these kind of things. She a master of martial arts if she hasn't told you yet."
"Actually we seen her take out someone after school," said Yami.
Yeah she also has a nasty temper. So be careful," said Yamato, "And thanks for saving me back there."
"No problem," said Yami.
Yamato walked out of the game shop and disappeared into the snow. Before he left he said, "Hoshi will be at the television station in five minutes. She probably be there for an hour or so. Better ask her then." Yami nodded and grabbed his coat. He headed towards the T.V. station.
*I wonder why Hoshi there,* thought Yami as he walked though the snow. *Oh well. I'll worry about it later.*
~~T.V. Station~~
Hoshi stood outside the T.V. station. She had promise her dad that she would drop off his lunch since he forgot it at home. Knowing her father he totally forgot that he had to pick up his lunch anyway. She brushed a strand of hair out of her face. *Hmm what a beautiful day. I wish Yami would ask me to the festival and not some loser. I know Joey going to ask someone named Mai. From what it sounds like he had a crush on this Mai person for a very long time.*
"Hoshi!"
Hoshi turned around. A smile almost instantly appeared on her face when she saw it was Yami. Also with that smile came a very small blush. "Hi Yami," she said.
"Uh Hoshi," stammer Yami. *Just do it already!!!!!!!!!!* His mind yelled at him. "Doyouwanttogotothefestivalwithme?"
Hoshi blinked not catching on to what Yami was saying. "Pardon?"
Yami took a deep breath and repeated, "Do you want to go to the festival with me?"
Hoshi mentally jumped. The boy of her dreams (It's a joke if you don't catch on. One term "Boy of her dreams" would be she in love with him. The second would be as in the dreams and nightmare she has been having all her life) just asked her to the dance. But before she could say yes that jerk Jason just so happen to pass by looking of a date. He had forgot that Hoshi was an expert fighter and had deck him earlier in the year but he really wanted a date. Since he waned to get back at his girlfriend for going with some other loser he was going to get revenge one way or other. Hoshi was the perfect date. Who wouldn't want to date him, he was the most popular guy in the school next to Joey and Yami. Of course Hoshi thought this guy was a jerk and didn't even deserve to exist on this planet and this world would be better without him.
"Hey um Cheryl would you like to go to the festival with me," he asked.
Hoshi smiled sweetly and said, "No thanks Jason."
"Why," he yelled.
"Because Yami already asked me and if you didn't interrupt me I was about to accept his offer," said Hoshi.
"Wh-what?!"
"You heard me. Yami already asked me," said Hoshi. This guy was getting on her nerves. If he didn't watch it he was going to get blasted into the next dimension.
"What but you can't! You have to come with me on a date to the dance," said Jason.
Hoshi sighed, "What part of I don't want to go to the dance with you don't you understand? Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"No you don't and you're coming with me to the festival," said Jason.
"So you can humiliate me. To get back at your girlfriend for going with someone else or something like that," snapped Hoshi. She was fuming. This guy was asking for it.
"No!"
"I give up," yelled Hoshi.
"So you're coming with me," asked Jason.
"No," shouted Hoshi, "it means I'm going to do this." She kicked in the stomach. Jason was sent flying into the wall near by. Hoshi turned back to Yami. Yami mentally wincing remembering what Matt had told him. "Sorry about that Yami. I-"
Ring, Ring.
Hoshi blinked. She wondered what was ringing. Looking into her bag she notice it was her phone. "Hello," she said. "Yeah dad?"
While Hoshi was having that conversation with her dad, Yami was praying that she would say yes to his offer. I mean she said she would to Jason but she could have been just saying that to get Jason off her case. But Yami doubted that.
"What!!!!!!!"
Yami looked at Hoshi. She turned pale and was very upset. She hung up. She turned to Yami, "Yami sorry but there something I got to do." Yami could see the unshed tears forming in her eyes.
*Something wrong Hoshi never this upset,* thought Yami. He nodded. Hoshi turned and ran. *I'll find out what happen. I just hope Hoshi doesn't kill me for following her.* Yami silently ran after Hoshi.
