CHAPTER 3: The Inevitable Encounter (Sakuragi, Haruko & Ayami)

AYAMI

Hmmm…I didn't know Shohoku was this big. I've already been roaming around for fifteen minutes but I still haven't found where Class 1-10 is…

Maybe I should ask somebody. Demo, they're all busy talking with each other…

Hmm…maybe I should walk some more…

Are? Who was that singing in such an awful voice…?

SAKURAGI

" Ore wa tensai Sakuragi……tensai Hanamichi Sakuragi basket-o-man……"

Finally, I reached Shohoku… better start finding Haruko-san!

"Oi! Mito! Have you seen Haruko-san?"

Mito, Takamiya, Uoksu and Noma turned and stopped what they were doing. Something smells fishy here…

" Hanamichi! Anou…you're early today! That's very unlikely of you…he!he! Anou…I haven't seen Haruko-san. Ask Takamiya!"

Mito is acting really strange…

" Oi! You've seen Haruko-san?"

Takamiya, the fattest among us, hid his hand behind his back.

" Iie, Hanamichi. I've not seen her…"

I better find out what they're up to…

" What's that behind your backs?"

Then, all of them began sweating like pigs and stammered for answers. Of course, they wouldn't tell me so I head-butted all of them. That's when I found out that they were collecting bets whether I will foul out the next game or not. After that, I head-butted them again.

And THESE morons are the people I call friends eh?

I'll just go look for Haruko-san by myself then. 

AYAMI

SUGOI!!!! That red-headed guy is really strong…

He is also good-looking in a gangster-kind of way…cool!

Oh no…he's heading this way…

I better leave and look for my room before he sees me. Anyway, the bell's about to ring and I still haven't found my room.

As I was about to turn, I suddenly bumped into someone, who was tall as that strong guy, which sent me crashing down to the floor…

SAKURAGI

Where could Haruko-san be?

Are…? That girl's about to fall down!

I gotta save her or she'll fall butt first on the floor…

RUKAWA (yes……he's here!)

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!" (drool)(walk)(drool)(walk) [This guy never stops sleeping! ~_^]

Hmmm…did I bump into something?

Where am I anyway? (looks at his surrounding then…)

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!" (drool)(walk)(drool)(walk)

AYAMI

I was waiting for my butt to hit the floor but it never came. Then, I felt an arm holding my waist. When I opened my eyes, I saw HIM.

My redeemer…the one who head-butted all of his friends… (turns starry-eyed)

HARUKO

I wonder where's Sakuragi-kun…

I've been looking for him since I came here. Mito-kun said that he went this way but I still haven's found him out. As I was to turn a corner, I saw someone that sent my stomach to do little flip-flops…RUKAWA-KUN!(eyes turned into pink little hearts)…

This day is really my lucky day…

Are? What happened to his arm? Why is his face covered with band-aids?

And…isn't that…Sakuragi-kun?! 

Who's that girl he's holding?! Why is she staring at him like that?!

[jealous, are we? ~_~]

SAKURAGI

Whew! I made it on time. I thought she's going to fall for sure…

I'm really a tensai! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hmmm…this girl has been staring me. Do I have anything on my face?

But, before I could ask her, she already spoke…

AYAMI

" Anou……DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!!!!!!!!"

Wow! I can't believe I was saved! And by someone like him!

My 'redeemer' gaped at me first before turning all red in the face.

" Iie…it was nothing! I just did any normal guy would do when he sees someone, especially a girl who's about to fall. Plus, it's because I'm a tensai! NYAHAHAHAHA!!!!"

I couldn't help but smile. He really has an addictive laugh. Then I saw a girl come near us.

" Sakuragi-kun, daijobou?"

Sakuragi…kawaii…

Hmmm…maybe she's his girlfriend…

After all guys like him were either already taken or gay…right?

" Anou…arigatou. It was really nice of you. Ummm…I'm Ayami Sakimoto. First Year, Section 10. I'm a transferee here. How about the you?"

Sakuragi-kun extended his hand, " Ore wa tensai Hanamichi Sakuragi, First Year Section 7. And this kawaii girl next to me is Haruko-san! NYAHAHAHAHA!"

Then the girl began blushing and also extended her hand, "Anou, watashi Haruko Akagi, First Year Section 1. Nice to meet you!"

They look really good together…

" SO…how long have the both of you been together?"

With that, they both turned as red as tomatoes. It was Sakuragi-kun who spoke first.

" Anou… Ayami-chan …you see, we're just friends. Nothing more…"

Oh…baka Ayami!

" GOMEN NASAI! I thought…GOMEN!"

SAKURAGI

She actually thought that me and Haruko-san were…(blushes).

I LIKE HER!

I think we'll be good friends! Anyone who thinks that way will be my friend.

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

HARUKO

So…he was just helping her. I thought…nah! It's not important [just admit you're jealous].

Sakuragi-kun is really nice. He called me kawaii…(with that, she blushed).

Ayami-chan is also cute. And she's tall…I mean really tall. Another thing was she actually thought that Sakuragi-kun & me were…(again, she blushed).

I think I like her to be my friend. After all, I have only two girl friends. One more wouldn't hurt, ne?

Demo, what is Rukawa-kun doing here? That's strange…

"Anou, Ayami-chan. May I ask why were you falling?"

Bad move. I shouldn't have asked her…

AYAMI

Souka…why did I fall on the first place…

" Ah! I was watching Sakuragi-kun head-butt his friends. Then, when I saw him coming, I tried to hide and continue looking for Class 1-10 then suddenly, I bumped into somebody!"

" Do you know who was it?"

Hmmm…

"AH! Souka…I remember! He was just about as tall as you with raven hair! Now let me see who was that asshole who bumped me…"

I didn't expect to see what I saw when I turned around.

NANI?! HE was standing at the exact position my assailant was, sleeping for the nth time!

Arrrgghhh!!! I'm gonna get you this time…

RUKAWA

" ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!" (drool)(drool some more)(drool non-stop)

" ZZZZZZZZ-ngark!" 

Help! I can't breathe…

HARUKO

The next moment came very fast…

Ayami-chan suddenly launched at Rukawa-kun and began strangling him. Sakuragi-kun and I was surprised at first but when we saw that Rukawa-kun was becoming paler than usual, I asked Sakuragi-kun to stop her.

And I actually thought I could be friends with her?!

Maybe I should re-think about that…

SAKURAGI

Wow! I didn't know she was also mad at that baka kitsune! Another reason why I should make her my friend!

She was strangling the living daylights out of that kitsune when Haruko-san pleaded at me to stop her. At first, I didn't want to mainly because I was actually enjoying the site of a girl not liking Rukawa…I mean, it's really very rare in this school.

But, I saw him becoming paler and paler. I hate him but I don't want him to die in Ayami-chan's hands…I want to see him die in mine!

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

And with that, I pulled her away and to tell you the truth, the tensai had a hard time. I even asked Mito-kun and the others to help me! It's like she poured super glue on her hand so that she wouldn't let go of his neck.

After that, she started going after him again but Haruko-san already begged baka kitsune to go away. Rukawa just gave us his 'ice-cold' look then left us while Ayami-chan was screaming curses at him.

She's really something…

AYAMI

I can't believe he's still alive!

I'll teach him next time…

" Don't ever come near me again bakemono!" [ in case you don't know, bakemono = monster…^_^]

HARUKO, SAKURAGI & SAKURAGI GUNDAN

Is she really a girl? Maybe she has her…period.

AYAMI

I turned to look at the others and saw that they were inching away from me.

Looks like I made a really good impression. I think I should apologize first…

" Uhmmm…gomen nasai minna-san! It's just that my blood boils whenever I see him since the incident this morning. And after what he had done to me, I lost my temper. I'm not really like this. You see, I'm usually calm and collected…"

From the looks they're giving me, it seems that they don't believe me….sheesh!

I was losing hope when Sakuragi-kun and Haruko-chan touched my shoulder and smiled.

Haruko-chan spoke, " I must admit that I don't like what you did to Rukawa-kun…demo…I think I'll give you another chance, ne?"

I smiled. Haruko-chan is really nice but I've got a feeling that she likes that bakemono.

Hmmm…maybe that's why she didn't like what I did.

I looked at Sakuragi-kun. He has this mischievous smile plastered on his face when he leaned forward and whispered something to me.

" If ever you decide to do something to that baka kitsune, tell me first ok? I'll back you up!"

I looked at him and saw that he was serious so I couldn't help but laugh. He's really…something.

I REALLY like him. Good thing he and Haruko-san isn't an item.

I may have a chance with Sakuragi-kun…

And so, I finally found new friends.

But, I should have known that my happiness would last just for a while…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~_^ MY! MY!

SOOOOO…what do you think, eh? Ayami likes Sakuragi but, will it be vice versa? Was Haruko really jealous when she saw that Sakuragi was with another girl? When will Ayami & Rukawa like each other? Why did Ayami suddenly thought I like Rukawa? Do you believe that I like him? Why am I asking stupid questions again? Am I requiring you to answer them? Are you even interested in answering them?

Well…find out next chapter!

In the meantime people…

Love it? Hate it? Let me know!

Review Pls! Ja! ^_^
