((After School))
"Mina!" said Rei as she ran up to her. Minako looked back and smiled, "Rei san!" They both walked beside eachother. "I was just wondering if you're going to the arcade? I heard there's a big tournament there and you know how Usagi and you are." Rei winked playfully. "I don't know.. I might be a bit busy." Rei with concern looked at her, "Ara?.. is there something wrong? You seem a bit detached these days." Minako paused but gained back her energy, "No, of course there's nothing wrong!" she said righteously. "I, Minako, can overcome any obstacle! And.. USAGI WILL FACE HER ULTIMATE CHALLENGE!! Ohohoho yes..." a sweat drop fell from Rei.
"Muhuhuhuhu" Minako fiddled with her fingers while asking, "So when's the tournament again?" Rei a bit irritated, "At 7. Be sure not to be late! Although I wouldn't be surprised if you were..." "REI SAN!!" yelled Minako. Rei laughed gracefully, "I'm kidding, Minako. Well I better be off, hope to see you there!" Rei waved as she walked off the opposite direction from Minako. Minako waved back smilling a little. She knew she wasn't very well herself these days, the only conclusion she could succumb to was the situation with Otousan.
Minako was tossing her book bag around ready to head back home when she noticed Kuro coming out of a flower shop. Kuro kneeled down looking at the display of flowers that were outside. She took a flower and sniffed its auroma. Minako with an irritated expression decided to pass her without looking back. As she passed Kuro noticed her, "Minako... right?" Minako paused and stared down at her, "Hai." Kuro grinned, "I must say your relationship with Yaten is quite amusing." Minako pouted, "I suppose you can say that."
Kuro stood up and held out her hand. Minako decided to play along and shook her hand forcefully. Kuro convulsed slightly but gained back her stance. She stared at Minako with confusion but smiled, "Would you like to walk with me, Mina?" Minako paused for a short time, ".... Sure! I guess."
They walked along the sidewalk as they both shared an awkward silence. "So..... how do you like it here in Japan?" Minako asked. Kuro smiled a little, "It's okay. I like it better back home." Minako stared at her with question, "Why??" Kuro glanced at her, "One cannot always forget where they came from." Minako nodded as she thought about Otousan. Minako stared at her, Kuro's black hair flowed gently against her shoulders. Her pink lips played well with her pale features. 'Kurokawa... Black River. Just like her hair.' Minako thought to herself. Kuro looked at her directly in the eye and it made Minako blush as she frantically looked foward. Suddenly Kuro stopped shortly behind Minako. Minako looked behind her shoulder, "Nani?"
"I'd like to address something, Minako san." Kuro said without any expression. They both stood infront of eachother as autumn leaves danced by. Kuro held Minako's hand and kept it close to her chest, "It seems as though you have a close friendship with Yaten, correct?" Minako's cheek turned pink, "Hai-I-I mean I wouldn't know. He's so weird! I can never read what's on his mind! That baka. That reminds me, I should beat him up for what he did in P.E.!" Minako complained as her face scrunched up with fustration, almost child like. Kuro giggled, "Spoken like a true friend!" but her facial expression was soon to be changed. "Demo... I was wondering if you can find out what interest he has for me?"
Minako's expression turned into shock as she stared blankly, "Nani?" Kuro proceeded holding onto the rails as she stared off, "I think I like him. I dont think I liked anyone this much, he's so dreamy. Maybe I'm attracted to him because he's hard to figure out - like you say. Minako, I don't know what feelings you have for him, but I thought I should make mine clear." Minako stood with silence for a moment, "... No of course I dont have any feelings for him, he's not my type."
Kuro smiled, "Then I guess it all works out. Arigatou Minako san!" Minako smiled a little, "No problem.. Kuro chan."
Kuro ran off while waving, "I'll talk to you later then, Ja!"
"Ja." Minako replied softly. 'Why should I even worry? It's just Kuro. I'm sure Yaten has no feelings for her, I think. But then again.. Kuro is so pretty.. what guy wouldn't fall for her?' Minako stood in silence. She snapped out of it and frantically moved around, "Waii, That baka Yaten can't even get girls! And if he does, I'll be damn surprised and happy for the poor guy."
Minako walked off carelessly while tossing her book bag around again.
