CHAPTER IV- THE CONCERT

7:00 P.M. Akagi Residence

"Let's see, what will I wear? This, this, this or this?" Haruko kept looking at the mirror.

"Let me see, red, pink, blue, or purple?"

"Hmm, the red looks kinda nice. So red it is" she sighed

'I finally decided what to wear after half an hour. What time is it anyways? 7:30, only 30 more minutes before Sakuragi-kun gets here'.

"Yosh!"

"So how do I fix my hair?"

-----------------------------------oo--------------------------------

8:00 P.M.- Outside the Akagi residence

"Will I go now or should I wait. Maybe she's still dressing up besides girls are suppose to take a long time in dressing as I remember." There is a battle going on currently in Sakuragi's head. He couldn't decide if whether he should go there right now. He waited for 10 minutes before finally deciding to go there and ask her out and by then maybe go to the concert.

Knock. Knock.

--------------------------------------oo-----------------------------------

"Takenori could you get that. I'm quite busy" Mrs. Akagi asked her son.

"Be right there mom!"

----------------------------------------------oo----------------------------

Outside

'Why doesn't somebody answer the door?' Sakuragi looked at his watch that read 8:30. Then the door suddenly opened and revealed a tall, dark skin man.

"Um.good evening Mr. Akagi, um. I was just wondering if Haruko-chan is there?"

"SAKURAGI HANAMICHI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

"Huh?" Sakuragi found himself standing in front of his former captain aka Gori.

"What's with the huh? I said what are you doing here?"

"Gori!!"

BUMP

"Itai!" 'Stupid Gori and his stupid Gori punch'

"I told you to stop calling me Gori you dimwit"

"Ne, Haruko-chan doko?"

"Why are you looking for Haruko, don't you even respect her home and that you're even stalking her?"

"Who's stalking who?" Haruko came out of nowhere

"Haruko-chan, kombamwa. Sorry if I'm late"

"Late for what?" Akagi wondered

"It's okay Sakuragi-kun because I've just finish dressing up anyway"

"What the hell is going on here? I demand for an explanation!"

"Oniichan, remember when I asked mom and dad's permission to go to a concert?"

"Yeah so what about it?"

"Well today's the concert and Sakuragi-kun is my escort"

"WHAT!!! That saru is your escort? No I cannot permit this. I will not permit you to go to that concert!"

"Oniichan you're over-reacting. I was the one who invited him in the first place"

"Demo"

"Oniichan daijobu. I'm sure Sakuragi-kun will look after me" then she smiled her most sweetest smile. (Yuck! Sorry for the Haruko fans out there if there is any)

Akagi couldn't resist that smile and so he just nodded before glaring at Sakuragi in an ifsomethingbadhappenstoheryouredead-way.

"Arigatoo oniichan. You're the best!"

"Tell mom and dad I'll be back before 2 ok, ja"

--------------------------------------oo-------------------------

"You look beautiful tonight Haruko-chan"

"Domo. You don't look bad as well"

"Thanks for the compliment 'I think' "

"So" Haruko said trying to change the subject.

"What is it Haruko-chan?"

"I was just wondering if you told Rukawa-kun about this?"

"Of course I did"

"So what did he say?"

"Oh well he just wondered how you got the tickets. You see he's been trying to find those for a very long time but unfortunately it was all sold out"

'I see' " Yeah it was very hard to get these"

' I stayed up a whole night calling people hoping to get these tickets hoping that Rukawa-kun would come'.

"So Sakuragi-kun is that all he said?"

"Yeah, I think so. Oh wait a minute; he said something about meeting you. Um. what was it again. Oh I remember he said that he wanted to see you after the concert"

"Honto ni? Doko?"

"Aa. He said at school"

"Ok that's nice" 'Maybe he wants to apologize. This day might turn out much better than I expected' Haruko thought while feeling giggly and happy.

The concert started on 10:00 sharp. The place was crowded with teenagers waiting and shouting to see their favorite band. Sakuragi and Haruko had to squeeze their way to get to the middle. They saw some of the guys. Kogure and Mitsui, Ryota and Ayako, Sendoh and Koshino and others but they didn't notice that someone was watching them very closely. Sakuragi sense this but thought that it was just some jerk looking at Haruko so he didn't mind.

Finally the Kimagure band finally showed. Haruko and Sakuragi danced all night. They sung and danced, waved and jumped looking like total idiots but they didn't care a bit they were having a good time. But there was something on Sakuragi' s mind that he couldn't seem to ignore.something.

This was the best concert Sakuragi had gone to much better he thought if he had spent the night with a particular someone.

'Ok Sakuragi I know his your best friend but you can't possibly think of him always. You're just used to hanging and going out on concerts with him that's why you miss him. Common you're with Haruko now don't waste the opportunity' Sakuragi thought while a love song was being played.

"Sakuragi-kun are you okay"

"Huh? Oh yeah Haruko-chan daijobu"

"Ok but you seem so distant and not yourself"

"It's nothing Haruko-chan. Hey I love this song. This is one of my favorites" Sakuragi said wanting to change the subject.

"Really me too!"

"Great" he sighed, as Haruko didn't pursue the topic.

The concert ended with a hard rock metal song. Everybody was exhausted but felt really alive. The two left and were now walking towards the school.

"That was great wasn't it Sakuragi-kun?"

"Yeah it was the best!"

They continued walking with an awkward silence surrounding them. Haruko felt excited and could not wait to see the boy of her dreams while Sakuragi was thinking of a certain someone. They had only a couple of blocks to walk before arriving at school when Sakuragi suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter Sakuragi-kun"?

"Nothing Haruko-chan. It's just that Kaede said he wanted to meet you alone so I'll just wait for you right here. I'm sure he'll get pissed off if he sees me with you"

The words Sakuragi said made Haruko even more excited. She didn't want to waste more time so she quickly agreed.

"Ok I'll see you then later" she walked closer to him tiptoed and gave Sakuragi a chaste kiss on the lips.

"I want to thank you Sakuragi-kun for the wonderful evening. Bye then see you later"

Sakuragi was speechless. He couldn't believe what happened so he just waved back. After he was sure that Haruko was gone he put his fingers on his lips. The feeling that he always felt for Haruko ever since he me t her was coming back but not that strong.

"That was my first kiss"

Author's note: Boring isn't it. No significance at all. I totally hate Haruko. Well sorry if this is too short. It's obvious that it was rush right. I'm really sorry well don't forget to drop your reviews I want to know how the story is going from your point of view. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!! OTANJOOBI OMEDETTO KAEDE-SAMA. @@@@@@@@@@
