Circumstances Unknown
Case 3: The Soul Deep Within Me
The play was a huge success, and received great reviews. A director even said he wanted to make it a full length movie. Aya was going to be one of the youngest directors ever to make it to the big screen!
With the hectic Cultural festival out of the way, the end of the year was arriving really soon. In a couple of months, the final exams will mark the end of freshman year. This allowed things to return back to normal, and couples flourished once again. Can things really be normal again, though?
Miyazawa snuck up on Arima in the library and hugged him from the back. "I've missed you, Arima-kun!"
Arima looked surprised and blushed at the softness of Miyazawa's touch. He had forgotten what she felt like, as he put his arms around hers. They stayed like that for quite awhile, with an awkward silence following.
"Arima-kun...?" Miyazawa finally broke the ice.
"What is it?"
She stared at him for a minute, and continues, "You know that if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, right?" Miyazawa looked into his dark and mysterious eyes, and wonders what he can be possibly hiding in them.
Arima looked back in hers and smiles, this time with that same warm feeling. "I know I can talk to you, Miyazawa-san." Changing subjects really quickly, he went on about the Cultural Festival. "You were really convincing in that play! Our parents seemed to have gotten along too!"
Her worried expression rapidly changes to joy. "That's great, thanks!" Silence follows again. "Arima-kun...You're sure that nothing's wrong, right?"
His warm smile answered all her questions. Miyazawa took his hand in hers and they walked home together, like she had promised.
But...Arima is just hiding behind that fake smile again. Something was wrong, and he hides it in the vast ocean that make up his heart. Deep down, a little crying boy was desperately trying to reveal himself to the world.

"Tsubasa!" The blonde rock star with spiky hair called out from behind the girl.
The petite but beastly girl turned around to find her new brother running up to her. "Afternoon, Kazuma!"
"I caught your act in the play, you were so cute!" He teased.
Tsubasa looked up at him in a mixture of awe and confusion. "I thought you had a concert."
"Oh I did, but I slipped out early." A wide grin spread on Kazuma's face. "Besides, you were more important. I wouldn't miss my little sister's play for a stupid concert."
"Hey, I'm older than you!" Tsubasa bellowed as she punched his head in, not as hard as she usually does though.
For the first time in the girl's life, she felt welcomed. She had actually enjoyed being called 'sister' and accepted into a new warm and inviting family. This thought somewhat disturbed and overjoyed her at the same time...But she was happy.

"I'm going to sink a dunk, for sure this time!" A confident Tsubaki hollered as she drove to the basket, only stopped by a block. She looks up at the tall, skinny guy grinning arrogantly. "What did you do that for?!"
He just sneered and replied, "This is basketball, isn't it? Aren't you supposed to try to get your opponent's ball?"
"I don't know exactly why you hate me so much," Tsubaki muttered, spinning the ball on her fingertip. "But are you up for a game of one-on- one?"
Tonami laughed at her question, and snatched the ball out of her hand. "You know I am." They both rush to the basket, trying to stop one another.
Competition was a big part of both their lives. It was the only thing that can bring these two together...Who knows? Perhaps it's just a way to show; they care about each other deeply. Maybe because both of them cared too much, to be expressed in words.
Sakura Tsubaki was still ignorant that Takefumi Tonami is the same boy that she used to protect...now protecting her. Regardless, he is bringing out the dependent side of her, she wanted to hide...and she was happy.

Asaba Hideaki, surrounded by a crowd of giggling girls as usual, stood in front of the movie plaza. "Come one, come all, my little gorgeous lambs! Hahahaha!"
Just then, a girl with long brown hair and emerald green eyes walked by. She was wearing the same school uniform all the other girls were wearing, but Asaba had never seen her around before.
"Hey, miss!" Asaba shouts lovingly over the crowd of screaming girls. The girl looked back to see who was calling her. Asaba finally got out of the fan circle and reaches the confused girl. "You're prettier than an angel, why don't you join us, baby?"
The girl blinked in surprise, then just snorted and laughed in his face, walking off thinking how ridiculous this idiot was.
Asaba was left there, petrified. A girl had never rejected him before. The rest of the girls shrieked in horror and hugged the stunned Asaba.
"That's Takoshi Kanna, the new transfer student! What a bitch!" One of the girls shouted.
All of a sudden, the boy laughed out loud in joy. He had made a decision; he wanted that girl. Asaba had never been sure of anything in his life, but today, he was definitely sure of this...and he was happy.

Miyazawa and Arima reached her warm household, holding hands the whole way here. "Arima-kun, would you like to come in?"
Even though he wanted to, with all his heart, he couldn't. "I can't, I have Kendo practice tonight."
"Well," She replied, her cheeks blushing a bit. "You can come over after practice is over."
Arima's face burned up, when he understood what she meant. "O-Oh, okay."
That night, they just held each other close, wrapped up under the warm blanket that separated fantasy with reality. With complete innocence, they gazed at each other. The boy and the girl engaged in a deep passionate kiss before drifting off to sleep in each other's arms. Little did they know; Miyazawa's parents were on their way back, a little earlier than she had expected.
Right now, nothing matters. Tonight, Arima Souichirou had climbed over that brick wall and ended up on the other side. She loved him, and he loved her. Nothing would ever change that. Besides, they are the soul deep within each other...and they are happy. [Fin]

[Author's note] Cherry: Whaaaaaaa!! It's so sad! I love the last paragraph! What's going to happen next??! Are the two lovers going to be separated by their parent's decision??! Find out!!!
[Parody]
The girl blinked in surprise, then just snorted and laughed in his face, standing there and thinking how ridiculous this idiot was.
Asaba looked at her in confusion and noticed she had something behind her back. "Uh...Miss, I didn't mean to! Forgive me!!!"
It was too late for our super hunk, as he disappeared into the clouds, and crashed into an airplane, whacked by a giant wooden mallet.
"Damn you Ranma 1/2! Two times already..."
Stay tuned to find out what happens to Asaba next in this trilogy: The chronicles of the Giant Mallet!
