Chapter Five: Under Probation (Part I)
SUNDAY 8:00 a.m
Hanamichi cautiously walked one step at a time. He didn't know what was the matter with him today. He isn't the shy type, and he knows that. Nor is he also someone who constantly stops to see if his clothes are okay or his hair was neatly done.
'Well, except around Haruko-chan.' he thought blushing.
But that was beside the point, however. For it was as if he was feeling more self-conscious all of a sudden. He didn't know why but it was as if at this very moment and at this very place that he is standing on, the whole world is watching…
And yeah out to get him…. *shudder*
So he turned to his back.
And to his right.
And to his left.
*chirp* *chirp*
*kwak* *kwak*
*beep* *beep* swoosh crash eep
*#$$%$#!* *#$$%$#* Why you! Get off the road!"
Yup. Nothing. Only silence, though, he continued to stare suspiciously and of course, glare at the idiot driver with his idiot car who happens to stand idiotically in his way.
'I'm sensing a lot of idiocy today.' he thought still glaring at the idiot driver who immediately drove away.
"Sakuragi, what are you doing?"
"Gyaaaaaaahhh!!! What the-?!" Hanamichi exclaimed surprised feeling a hand on his shoulder. Turning, he felt himself immediately blush at the sight of his Haruko-chan.
"Haruko-chan! What-What are you doing here, Haruko-chan?" he asked composing himself.
Meantime, Haruko just laid down her hand and beamed. "Good morning, Sakuragi! I'm just going to buy some things for my project at school when I saw you. Are you also here to buy school materials? That's why you're her are you?" she asked now looking at him with curiosity.
Hanamichi immediately nodded. "Why of course, Haruko-chan! An industrious tensai like me is always doing school project! Nyahahaha!"
"But, uhm, but are you sure it's alright for you to go out now then? You're not sick anymore, are you?" she interrupted concernedly making Hanamichi looked at her in confusion.
Haruko gasped. "Oh, my! You mean you don't remember?" she asked looking more and more worried by the second.
Hanamichi just shook his head.
Haruko sighed. "Well, you see yesterday you fainted, Sakuragi-kun. One minute we were all running and the next second brother have to carry you out and we are all worried…" she said now clearly upset that maybe her friend was really too sick like the others have told her.
Hanamichi's eyes, however, instantly watered. After all, though he might not know what Haruko is talking about or how whatever she is telling resembles a fragment of his weird dream (*grin*) or something, she is still concerned for him.
With this thought, Hanamichi immediately laughed out aloud. "Nyahahahahaha! Don't worry Haruko-chan! The tensai is always okay! Besides, tensais like me don't get sick! Nyahahaha!!!!"
Haruko just smiled feeling relieved that Hanamichi said he was okay now especially after fainting like that yesterday. Though, she still couldn't understand why they were all playing tag yesterday in the first place. Why, they even got her friends and the shinetai to go running trying to catch her friend! (aHeM) Just thank the gods that when Sakuragi fainted from exhaustion, he was catched by…
"I'm glad then, Sakuragi-kun," she said instead, looking at him. (*snicker*)
Hanamichi just blushed lowering his eyes to the ground and feeling extremely embarrassed "Oh. *blush* So are you *blush* going now then, Haruko-chan? I mean do you want me to *blush* accompany you? I mean I'm not entirely busy at this very moment.. I already brought the materials I need *blush*" he babbled snuffling his shoes.
For a moment, Haruko simply looked at him for a moment making him more embarrassed but then she nodded smiling. (again wow! she likes to smile huh?)
"That would be great then Sakuragi. It'll be better if I can have someone to be with." she agreed gesturing towards a store at the end of the street with Hanamichi trailing behind her with a dreamy expression.
Suddenly,
Rukawa nonchalantly put down his paper, got up from the bench and followed scowling.
Mitsui casually moved out behind a flowerpot and followed.
Miyagi innocently emerged from a store window mannequin and followed.
While three figures coolly appeared from an ice-cream stand and also followed this time led by a glaring but happily ice-cream-slurping cupid.
*chirp* *chirp*
*kwak* *kwak*
*beep* *beep* swoosh crash eeeep
"Why you! Get off the road you crazy girls!"
Oh yeah…and a bunch of the other girls appeared from canal holes making bystanders stare in shock as they also followed. (*shudder* *grin* *grin*)

"It's very kind of you to accompany me, Sakuragi-kun, even if you already bought the things you need for the school project." Haruko said moment's later turning to look at her companion.
Hanamichi immediately beamed puffing his chest. "But of course, Haruko-chan! I'll do anything for you!"
Haruko merely giggled leading them towards a store across the street.
'Sometimes, her friend could be so confusing and yet so sweet at the same time!' she thought mentally. 'Oh well, he really is such a nice friend to have. (*stops typing for a while to remove myself from being strangled by a Hana-chan plushie*)
'Well, I should really tell him that someday then. I'm sure he'll be very happy to know how much of a good friend his been to me' she mused still catching the sight of a school supplies store.
"So, what do you think, Sakuragi-kun? Shall we go in?" Haruko asked rather gesturing at the display in front of a store.
Hanamichi just sighed and nodded dreamily while continuing to stare at his Haruko-chan. After all, it wasn't often that he gets a Date with His Haruko-chan, neh? Why! He can't wait to get to the last part where the two of them are supposed to kiss! Isn't that what two people in a date are supposed to do? (*dodges flying objects thrown by yaoi fans*)
"eh? What is it, Sakuragi-kun? Do I have something on my face?" Haruko asked snapping him out of his thoughts.
Hanamichi immediately looked down blushing. "I-Iiieee."
"What is it then? Do you want something?" she said curiously stopping when she saw Hanamichi's cheeks flushed darker who just continued to shake his head.
"Are you feeling okay? You're not feeling sick again are you" she asked worriedly yet remembering yesterday's event while unconsciously edging closer towards a rapidly becoming red redhead.
Suddenly,
A cat screeched making Haruko jumped away startled.
Something broke sounding suspiciously like the sound of many pots breaking made Hanamichi snapped out of his Haruko trance.
While a group of collective clang filled the air sounding suspiciously like many circular (you-know) canal metals hitting the ground made the two of them gasped in surprised.
"Wha-What's that?" Haruko asked astonished with both of them immediately turning toward the sound.
Leaves pass by.
Dust passes by.
*chirp* *chirp*
*kwak* *kwak*
…..
….
….
Hanamichi and Haruko blinked.
"Eh? Aren't there supposed to be some people just moments ago?" she asked in confusion.
Innocent bystanders immediately pop out of nowhere gasping for breath for being 'accidentally' gagged by some people and immediately running while screaming kidnap. .
Haruko blinked again. "eh? Sakuragi-kun, what just happened?"
Hanamichi just shrugged now confused but not really caring as long as he's with his Haruko-chan. Besides, weird things are happening around him lately, he might as well conjure that this was one of those things too. (*snicker*) Shaking his head, he turned to his companion shyly asking her if she would like to go have an ice cream with him after they brought their things while the poor confused girl could do nothing but nod not understanding at all and began to lead themselves towards the nearest store.
While a group of people in the distance just looked at each other with narrowed eyes.
