Chapter 12 - Reuniting Friends
~~~One week after the hospital recovery~~~
-RIIIIIIIIIIIIING!-
"OH NO! THE SECOND PERIOD BELL!!"
"AAAAHHHH!!!"
"WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!!!!"
"WE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!!!"
"EEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!!!!!"
"ARMAGEDDON!!!!"
"SAAAAAAAATAAAAAAANNNN!!!!!!!!"
"WHAT!?!? WHERE'S SATAN!??!"
"HEY!! STOP MAKING OUT WITH MY LOCKER!!!"
It was about 8:30 A.M. on a Friday, the first day that Sakura and Darrell were able to return to school. Everyone in their senior year were running around, making fools out of themselves as usual. Comments were shouted around the hallway as everyone scrambled off to their second period class, tripping over each other and otherwise harming themselves in the process.
Sakura snatched the last book out of her locker and threw it into Mitsukake's arms before slamming her locker shut and throwing the lock back onto it.
"You know, that's how your locker gets jammed in the first place..." Commented Mitsukake, his arms tiring under the weight of his and her books combined.
"I know, I just don't care!" Replied Sakura briskly, grabbing Mitsu's arm and rushing off to their next class: Advanced Literature II.
~~~20 minutes later~~~
Mitsukake yawned widely, fanning his wide mouth effortlessly as he glanced at the clock. Sakura and he still had 40 minutes of class left to go.
Bored, he yawned a second time, only to have a wad of paper hit him in the mouth, causing him to choke on nothing. (AN- And nearly wet his pants lol)
He immediately glanced over at Sakura, who was snickering at him while trying to pay attention to the teacher, who was droning on and on and on about "The Tale of Genji", the world's first novel. Mitsukake turned his complete attention to the ball of paper in his hands and gently began to unball it. It read:
*Mitsu, did Darrell or anyone tell you about the fight this afternoon?*
Glancing confusedly at Sakura, he took out his blue pen and wrote: *No.*
For the rest of the class period, the two continued to pass notes and smirk at one another while the teacher, elderly Mrs. Kama, read from her textbook to the class as if they were too young to read.
~~~Lunch~~~
Happy to escape from their tedious classes. Mitsukake, Kei, and Sakura rushed into the lunch room only to find the message from Sakura S. saying that she had lunch detention from the janitor and couldn't come to lunch. Darrell was there, however, and hurried over to greet his girlfriend.
"Sakura!" He said as they hugged and smiled while Mitsukake pretended to be staring at the lunch menu posted on the wall.
"Darrell, let's hurry up and get a tray. I've gotta discuss something with you..."
"Sure thing."
"Remember our match we have against Taiyo today after school?"
At this point, Darrell's face turned blue and he choked on his sandwich. Coughing and choking, he gulped some milk before settling himself.
"Huh? What?!"
Sakura smirked at him and Sakura S. also cracked a small smile.
"Yeah, Batsu and everyone's fighting us, Darrell," explained Sakura, playing with her food and tossing small pieces of it into Mitsukake's milk carton without him even noticing. (lol) Mitsukake was staring off into space, lost in his own little world where cute fuzzy bunnies reigned the land and lord knows what else was happening there. Kei was staring at a few guys across the room, particularly one named Vega, who was recently hired as a school janitor.
"Oh.. I forgot all about that..." admitted Darrell, scratching the back of his head and grinning. "Sorry..."
~~~~After school~~~~
"Damn homework! It sucks!!" wailed Mitsukake as he flipped through his agenda with bug-eyes. Sakura and Kei giggled as he disgustedly shoved all of his books into his bookbag and continued walking with them down to the streets near Taiyo High.
" I agree with you on that," commented Darrell mildly as the four turned a corner at the last block before reaching Taiyo.
Finally, Darrell, Kei, Mitsukake, and Sakura reached the sidewalks outside Taiyo and saw Batsu, Kyosuke, and Hinata outside, waiting for them. Batsu ran a hand through his messy black hair and over the scar on his left temple before smirking over at them.
"About time! School was dismissed about 15 minutes ago," sneered Batsu as he mashed a grasshopper under his shoe, causing Hinata to wrinkle her nose in disgust.
"Well, there are such things as locker-jammings!" Sakura laughed, nudging Mitsukake in the ribs. That suddenly brought Batsu's attention to him.
"Who is this tall pretty-boy?" asked Batsu, obviously intimidated by Mitsukake's neat hair and towering height.
Mitsukake frowned and began to introduce himself. "I'm Mitsukake Kagatoshi, new student at Tamagawi Minami. And I don't consider myself a pretty boy," he added, noticing Kyosuke's habit of readjusting his glasses every five seconds.
"Heh, you don't look like you can fight, so are you just gonna stand over to the side and watch or what?" Batsu nodded towards a stone bench a few feet away.
"Yeah. Whatever."
"Fine.
Suddenly, the sound of a roaring engine caught everyone's attention as they turned to see who had just arrived. Out of a shiny red limo hopped a familiar curly-blond haired girl and two other people. Sakura immediately recognized Karin and then stared at the other two guys.
"Ryu.... and SEAN?!?!"
Ryu and Sean smiled at everyone and waved while approaching. Sean held out his hand to Sakura.
"Hey babe, what's up?"
"Uh, hi Sean..." Said Sakura, shaking hands with Sean.
"Hey Sakura," called Ryu as he came up to her and smiled.
"Ryu...! Wow, this is a real shock... I didn't expect to see you here..."
Ryu smiled a little more. "Heh, I think you're the most promising Shotokan fighter other than me, Ken, and Sean, that is, that's left."
Darrell instantly let out a "Biiiiidaaaaa!!" and Ryu smirked, knowing that the freelance Shotokan fighter got the message. Sakura blushed at the comment and turned to her boyfriend and best friend. "Mitsu, Darrell, this is Ryu. Ryu, this is my boyfriend, Darrell..." Ryu shook hands with Darrell. "And my new best friend, Mitsukake." Ryu then shook hands with Mitsu as Kei stuck out her bottom lip.
"Yeah, I'm second best now..." she pouted playfully as Sakura wrapped an arm freely around Kei's shoulders.
Sean stuttered a bit before reminding Sakura, "Uh... we know. We DID meet each other two years ago before the tournament started, REMEMBER??"
Sakura, embarrassed, rubbed her head while Batsu and Darrell started laughing. "Oh, yeah... Gomen..."
At this point, Kyosuke walked over to break up the reunion. "Sorry to interrupt, but how about we get this fight started? Ryu or Mitsukake can be the referee," he suggested, more like a command than anything, though.
"Okay, let's get this started!"
"Yeah!!!"
"WAIT!!! You're forgetting me!!!"
At that moment, Karin ran up behind Sakura, breathing hard through her mouth.
"Heh... Our third member," Darrell said, smiling. "How could have we forgotten?"
"Yeah... I wonder how..." Karin shot back while standing up, catching her breath. "I can't believe that I ran here just for this fight... but I did. Now, Batsu, Kyosuke, and Hinata, let's go!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
