~ Chapter 6 ~
"Rukawa… Rukawa wake up!!" Hotaru said tugging Rukawa's arm but he just stir a little and he didn't wake up.
"Kaemi… Kaemi wake up!! It's lunch time wake up." Hotaru said trying to wake up Kaemi but she didn't even move. "What will I do with this two?!" Hotaru asked herself as she looks at Kaemi and Rukawa still asleep in each others arm. "They look so cute!!" Hotaru said as she sat down in front of them and watch them sleep with smile on their faces.
It is already eleven o'clock in the morning one more hour and it will be lunch time. When Hotaru left Kaemi and Rukawa they were sleeping and now it's almost lunch and they are still in the garden sleeping under the big cheery blossom.
"Rukawa… Kaemi please wake up!!" Hotaru pleaded. Then suddenly her face brightens. "I got an idea!!" Hotaru said as she stands up and leave.
After a few minutes Hotaru was back carrying something.
"Ok!! You two have a great position hold still and don't move." Hotaru said as if the two can hear her. "One… two…three." Hotaru counted then her words were followed by a click. "I can't wait to develop this." Hotaru said as she giggles. "One more shot." Hotaru said as she takes pictures of Kaemi and Rukawa again. "Another one but change position." Hotaru said as she lifts Rukawa's left hand then she entwined it with Kaemi's right hand and place it on top of Rukawa's left chest. She remover the wreath that is made out of flower from Rukawa and put it on top of Kaemi's head Since Rukawa's other hand was around Kaemi's shoulder and Kaemi's head was resting on Rukawa's chest Hotaru left it that way. "That's better… Oh wait this will be better. " Hotaru said as she pushes Rukawa's head gently so it lies on top of Kaemi's head. "So very much better!!' Hotaru whispered with a grin on her face.
Because of the flashes from the camera Rukawa finally opened his eyes and look at Hotaru. Hotaru quickly hide the camera from him.
"Hello Rukawa. How's your sleep?!" Hotaru asked with a big smile on her face.
"What?!" Rukawa asked still half asleep and he doesn't seem to notice that someone was beside him.
Instead of answering Hotaru just gave him a meaningful smile. "What do you want?!" Rukawa asked still he was clueless on the way Hotaru was acting. It was as if he had done something and he has no idea what it was.
"What are you smiling at?!" Rukawa asked and he was starting to get annoyed. Hotaru didn't say anything still with her meaningful grin she pointed at something beside Rukawa. Rukawa followed at where Hotaru was pointing and what he saw made him blush eight shades of red.
"Did that answer your question?!" Hotaru asked still grinning from ear to ear.
Rukawa has a puzzled face as he lift his hand with Kaemi's hand tangled with his. Rukawa remained silent and look at the sleeping angel in his arms with a sweet smile on Kaemi's face. "How did I…"
"Its lunch time better wake her up." Hotaru said disturbing Rukawa's thought.
Rukawa was silent as he thought of how on earth he got there and why is Kaemi hugging him. He then remembers the event a while ago and he can't help but blush and at the same time smile.
"Stop smiling and wake her up." Hotaru said interrupting his thoughts. "Ahhh… I know. You love your position right now that you don't want to wake her up." Hotaru said with a playful smirk.
"Of course not!!" Rukawa said as he blushes more. "Wake up Kaemi." Rukawa whispered to Kaemi as he carefully remove Kaemi's hand that he was holding. "It's so soft." Rukawa thought.
But instead of waking up Kaemi moaned then she cuddles closer to Rukawa putting back her hand on top of his chest and embracing him tighter and that made him blush deeper. Hotaru just laughed at them.
"She looks so cute when she is sleeping and she is smiling!!" Hotaru said. "Maybe she is dreaming." Hotaru added.
Then they were both silent as they watch Kaemi sleeping. Rukawa remained still and let the wonderful moment pass by. He watches as Kaemi sleep and he can't stop his hand from caressing Kaemi's face. Kaemi stir a little and then she smiled and Rukawa can't help but smile as well. He knew after a few weeks he can never do this again. And even how much he wanted to stop thinking about this he can't because he can't prevent himself from feeling distress at the thought of Kaemi dying so young.
"I can't believe all of this… I've never been like this." Rukawa thought. He cupped her cheeks with his hand and caresses her cheek with his thumb. "Your so lovely… do you know that?!" Rukawa whispered then kissed her forehead. Rukawa was so mesmerize with Kaemi that he didn't notice the flashes of camera.
A flash had caught his attention; he quickly looks up to see Hotaru holding a camera and ready to take another shot.
"Did you…?!" Rukawa wasn't able to finish because the answer was clear in Hotaru's face. "Give me that!!" Rukawa exclaimed.
"SShhh!!" Kaemi's sleeping!!" Hotaru said with a low voice.
"Give me that!!" Rukawa said his voice lower.
"Sorry can't do!!" Hotaru said.
"I said give me that!!" Rukawa said louder.
"I'm going now!! Wake Kaemi then go back inside or you can stay here and hug her and kiss her all day!!" Hotaru exclaimed as she run away.
"Come back here and give me that!!" Rukawa shouted and because of that Kaemi was awakened. He looks down at her.
"Hello Mr. Snooty!! What time is it?!" Kaemi asked as she pulls away from Rukawa's arms and the moment she pulled away Rukawa wanted to embrace her again and cradle her in his arms.
"It's almost lunch we need to go back inside." Rukawa said calmly trying to hide the happiness he was feeling at that moment.
"Ok let's go." Kaemi said as she stands up and stretches. "That's the best sleep I ever had." Kaemi said. "Did you have a good sleep Mr. Snooty?!" Kaemi asked as she helps Rukawa sit back to his wheelchair.
"Good?! It's amazing!! Never felt this great before." Rukawa wanted to say that but he just nodded and didn't say anything.
"Mr. Snooty you're so warm and I felt so comfortable sleeping in your arms." Kaemi said and Rukawa almost slip from his wheelchair. "Are you ok Mr. Snooty?! What happen to you?!" Kaemi asked not knowing it was her fault that Rukawa almost lost his other leg.
"Just slip." Rukawa replied as he sat down on his wheelchair.
"EH?! Why am I wearing this wreath?!" Kaemi asked when she notice the wreath on her head. Then she removes it and put it back to Rukawa's head. "This is for you wear this." Kaemi said then started to push his wheelchair.
"You know what Mr. Snooty I love this place a lot. My mom made this place planting flowers and making this place look wonderful. When I was four she started brining me here with my dad. We always stay here and rest. As I grow I help my mom in maintaining this place and now that my mom is dead Hotaru and I are the one look after this." Kaemi said as she pushes Rukawa's wheelchair. "I go here when I\m sad and depressed this is my sanctuary I love this place a lot because it reminds me of my mom and when I die I want to be -– but Kaemi was cut by Rukawa.
"Shut up!! I don't want to hear that!!" He exclaimed and Kaemi was taken aback when Rukawa yelled she wasn't able to say a word. She continues to pushes Rukawa until they reach the elevator and went in. When they arrived in Rukawa's room they are still silent.
"Hey!! I thought you two would never go back!!' Hotaru said as she helps Rukawa lie down on his bed. "So what do yah what to eat?!" Hotaru asked. No one replied. "Ok I'll just get anything we can eat." Hotaru said as she went out of the room. She knew something happened to them that's why they are quiet.
Silence remained in the room no one dared to talk and Kaemi sat quietly on the other bed.
"I'm sorry for yelling." Rukawa said breaking the silence. "I just don't want to hear people who seem to be planning their death. I don't want anyone I care about to die." Rukawa said not looking at Kaemi.
"You care for me?!" Kaemi asked clearly surprised in what Rukawa said. He just nodded his head. "Really?!" Kaemi asked as she stands up. Rukawa nodded again staring at the bed. "Then say it!!" Kaemi said very excited.
"Do I have to?!" Rukawa asked.
"Yes!!" Kaemi replied. "Please Mr. Snooty say it." Kaemi said pleading.
"I already said and I am not going to repeat it." Rukawa said smirking. Kaemi's cheerful and excited face became sad and cheerless. Rukawa look at her then he heaves a sigh. "Ok fine I'll say it." Rukawa said and quickly Kaemi's face lightens up. "I don't want to hear you saying about dying because I don't want you to die." Rukawa paused for a moment. "Because I… I." Rukawa paused again.
"Yes… yes say it." Kaemi said as she looks at Rukawa.
"I… I… do I have to say it again?!" Rukawa asked.
"You don't have to." Kaemi said her face saddening again and she was on her way to the door.
"I'll say it." Rukawa said as she holds Kaemi's arm. "I care for you and I want you to be always happy so stop saying that you are -– Rukawa wasn't able to finish talking when Kaemi throw herself to Rukawa hugging him.
"Thank you so much Mr. Snooty!!" Kaemi exclaimed. All Rukawa was able to do was wrapped his arms around her and hug her tighter. Their hugging moment was disturbed when they heard a few gasp. Kaemi look around and when she saw one very tall guy that looks like a gorilla, a cute guy with glasses, another guy with black hair, one smaller guy and a red hair guy with head like a matchstick. Kaemi quickly pulled away from Rukawa and her face was blushing. She knew these guys before and she has seen them before visiting Rukawa.
"Ummm… Hello you Mr. Snooty's friends right?!" Kaemi asked nervously as her face blushes more. She didn't know they are there but they didn't say a word and just stare at her then to Rukawa and then suddenly they…
"MMWAAAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!" Roar of laughter was heard all over the room.
The guy with a matchstick head, the smaller guy and the other guy laughs so loud and they are going crazy. While the gorilla guy and cute glassguy was trying to suppress their laughter. When she looks at Rukawa his face was so red. Rukawa removed the wreath on his head and glared at his teammates.
"HAHAHAHA!! Why did you remove it?! Mitsui asked as he continues to laugh.
"Rukawa you look great!!" Miyagi said while he clutches his stomach.
"AAhhh… my stomach…hurts…HAHAAHAHA!! Rukawa you look… you look… HAHAHAHA!!" Sakuragi said between laugh.
"Enough of that." Akagi said who was trying not to laugh.
"Akagi you're laughing too!!" Kogure said giggling too.
"Why are you all laughing?!" Kaemi asked innocently not knowing the reason why they are laughing at Rukawa. "Is it the wreath?!" She asked again then looks at Rukawa. Everyone was silent looking at Kaemi as she talks.
"Mr. Snooty looks really cute with it." Kaemi said then she looks at the basketball players.
"MMWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" They all laughed so loud again except for Sakuragi.
"Rukawa cute?!" Sakuragi asked then he walks towards Rukawa and stand beside him. He looks at Rukawa closely. "Yeah right Rukawa cute!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Sakuragi laughed.
Rukawa can't take it anymore and he wanted to kick this red-hair's ass. He was about to hit Sakuragi when…
"STOP IT!!" Kaemi exclamied. "Stop laughing at Mr. Snooty you MATCHSTICK head!! Kaemi yelled at Sakuragi.
"HAHAHAHAHA!!" Matchstick head!!" Mitsui said.
"Good one!!" HAHAHAAHAHA!!" Miyagi added.
"Shut up Michi Ryochin!! Sakuragi shouted furiously. AKagi and Kogure were laughing as well.
"I said shut up!!" Kaemi yelled and everyone stops laughing and look at the angry Kaemi. Even Rukawa was shocked by Kaemi's outburst. "Mr. Snooty looks better that you all of you!!" Kaemi shouted and everyone was silent then she stands in front of Akagi and the others. "You… you're a big gorilla that got out of the zoo!! You shorty guy with female earring!!" Kaemi exclaimed angrily as she pointed her hands at Akagi and Miyagi. "You skinny glassguy" Kaemi said as she points at Kogure was shocked and speechless.
"Am I skinny?!" Kogure asked unhappily.
"And you… you guy that have false teeth!!" Kaemi exclaimed at Mitsui whose face reddens when Kaemi told him that he has fake teeth.
"How did she know that?!" Mitsui asked his self.
"Now if you don't have anything to do except to insult Mr. Snooty!! All of you GET OUT!!" Kaemi screamed as she pushes them all out of the room.
Rukawa was surprised by Kaemi's manner. She looks like an innocent child and he never thought she can shout and yell like that especially to guys like his teammates.
"She looks so scary and at the same time very cute when she is angry." Rukawa thought to his self. He felt very happy because of what Kaemi did. It only shows that she cares for him and she would fight for him. Rukawa can still hear Kaemi yelling at Gori and the others and he can't help his self from laughing because of all the insults that Kaemi said to them. No one has dared to talk to them like that and truly Kaemi is a very brave girl.
After few more minutes Rukawa can't hear Kaemi yelling at him and when he saw the door open Kaemi went inside and sat down. Her face was flushed because of so much anger. Rukawa was smiling from ear to ear while watching Kaemi as she catches her breath. Kaemi look at Rukawa.
"Why are you smiling?! Are you making fun of me?!" Kaemi asked and she starting to get angry again.
"No I'm not." Rukawa replied still grinning.
"Yes you are making fun of me!! Look at you your grinning!! " Kaemi exclaimed standing.
"I'm not." Rukawa said. He tries not to smile but he can't stop his self because Kaemi just look so adorable.
"You're making fun of me!! I hate you Mr. Snooty!!" Kaemi exclaimed and was about to leave. But before she can take her first step Rukawa grab her arm, pull her in his arms and put his left arm around her. Kaemi was shocked and was just looking at Rukawa's face that is so close to her.
"I said I'm not making fun of you." Rukawa said as he looks directly at Kaemi.
"Really?! Then why are you grinning like that?!" Kaemi asked nervously. Rukawa's face was so close to her that she can feel his breath against her lips and it's making her uneasy.
"I was grinning because you look so adorable and so cute when you're angry." Rukawa whispered as he touches Kaemi's cheek.
Kaemi's face was a picture of pure shock and embarrassment. Her face is as red as a tomato even more.
"You're so brave, do you know that?!" Rukawa asked with a husky voice. Kaemi just nodded. "No one has done that for me. You're so sweet do you know that?!" Rukawa asked.
Kaemi shook her head and said nothing. She was so nervous to death right now nobody has been so close to her like this. If she just moves a little closer their lips will be touching and that thought made her blush more.
"What am I doing?!" Rukawa asked his self. "But damn it she looks really lovely and her lips looks so inviting… I want to kiss her." Rukawa thought as he looks at Kaemi's red lips.
"Is he going to kiss me?!" Kaemi asked when she saw Rukawa look at her lips. Kaemi also look at Rukawa's lips as his face moves closer to her.
Kaemi closed her eyes when she realizes Rukawa really wanted to kiss her and she can't find the courage to reject him because she wanted it as well. When their lips was about to meet they heard somebody knocking and quickly they move away from each other.
"Here is our lunch!!" Hotaru announced as she put the tray at the table. Then she looks at the two who are very quiet and their faces were flushed. "What happened to you two?!" Hotaru asked.
"Nothing!!" The two replied at the same time. They look at each other then look away.
"You're lying… what happened?!" Hotaru asked again. Nobody said anything. "Oh well if you don't want to tell me then don't!! "Let's just eat!!" Hotaru said. "Finally something happened!!" Hotaru said to herself as she chuckles.

"What a day!!" Rukawa said with a smile and he finally went to sleep.
