It's another brand new day. Not too new, though, it's just another day
since the accidental incident occurred. As usual, Sakuragi Hanamichi was
accompanied by his fellow friends, the Sakuragi Gundan, to school. They
were all silent, though, for they had heard about the issue. Buzzes were
easily spread along Shohoku, especially when it comes to the member of the
sports club.
Sakuragi was still trapped in a daze. His mind were filled with Haruko, Haruko, Haruko. Everything was about Haruko. He hadn't recovered from the shock of rejection. He was still sad and sorrowful about it. Though he tried not to think about it too much, it can't be easily pushed off his mind.
Sakuragi : (thinking) Haruko-san… How could you?
Ookusu : *slows his pace and walked slowly behind Sakuragi, grabbing Takamiya's arm* Oi… Did you heard that? The rumor?
Takamiya : *face turns serious* Yeah… Gosh, couldn't believe it, ne??
Ookusu : I thought he said that the letter was for Haruko-chan… Why should he lie? I mean.. aren't we supposed to be best friends?
Takamiya : Maa… I think it's an embarrassment for him. Ya know, he's ashamed to tell us that he's actually… gay. *sighs*
Ookusu : Yeah… I got the idea… Hmm… *rubs chin* Demo, hey, doesn't it makes us strange?
Takamiya : What?
Ookusu : You know… Hangin' with him… Playin' around with him… He's gay and… people…
Takamiya : I understand… Hmm… Maybe we should take a distance away from him….
Ookusu : I suppose…
Yohei was secretly listening to their conversation all along. He felt pity for Sakuragi.
Yohei : Poor you, Hanamichi… Maa, daijoubu yo… I, your best friend, won't ever leave your side even though it costs much…
***
Once they finally arrived at school shortly after the conversation between Takamiya and Ookusu. As they both expected, students were piercing their eyes through them. Some were whispering to his other friends. It feels weird.
Takamiya : *looks at Ookusu* Hey…
Ookusu : *nods* Yup…
Takamiya : Ano… Hanamichi… We should be going. We got early duties today…
Ookusu : Yup. That's me and the fatso, hehehe… *scratches head*
Sakuragi : ……
Yohei : C'mon you guys just go… Hanamichi's in a fluff right now.
Then the two left.
Girl 1 : Ne, ne… Have you heard? He had fallen for Rukawa Kaede…
Girl 2 : Sou yo… I heard that from my senior.
Girl 3 : Gosh, Rukawa Kaede sure is a hottie… He could make anybody, even guys, worship him…
Girl 1 : Eerie, ne…
Girl 3 : How's Rukawa-kun doing? I heard he fainted straight away after he heard his feelings.
Girl 2 : Shiranai yo… Hora! Mite mite! That's Rukawa-kun!! *points at a fuzzy-haired lad riding a blue bike*
Girl 1 : Yokatta na… He's not absent…
Girl 3 : And he looks just fine as he should be…
Girl 2 : Ano… I think there's something wrong….
Then the Rukawa Brigade, which had expanded from 3 personal to about 20s, approached their idol.
Ru Girl : Rukawa-kun!! Daijoubu desu ka?!
Rukawa : Get off…
Ka Girl : Rukawa-kun!! What's with the eyes?
Rukawa : *rubs his eyelids with his index* Huh…?
Wa Girl : You look like panda…
Rukawa : ……
Ru, Ka and Wa Girls : Kawaiii!!!!!!
Rukawa : Sheesh… Get lost…
Rukawa : (thinking) Sou… This eyes… I can't sleep well last night… Kusso! Ano Do'aho… *blushes slightly*
Rukawa then sat back on the bike and then continued on where he had left. He paddled gently and passed many students who happened to be on his way. But then…
Sakuragi : (still thinking) Haruko-san… Doushite?!
Rukawa : I'm getting sleepy…
Sakuragi : *shuts his eyes* (in his head, screaming) Haruko!!
Rukawa : …Zzzzz…
Then as usual, the two collided. Rukawa fell onto the ground and landed above Sakuragi's body.
Sakuragi : …Ruka…wa?
Rukawa : *opens his lids slowly* …!!!!! *notices that his face were no longer than 2 cms apart from Sakuragi's*
Sakuragi : Rukawa!! Just what the hell have you done?!
Rukawa : *can't help blushing, looks aside* …What? *stands up and dusts his trousers*
Sakuragi : Teme!! *grabs his arms* Don't try to run away!!
Rukawa : !!!!
Sakuragi : Don't act foolish like you don't know any— …. Ara?
And the next moment all know, he was already lying on the ground. His face were red and there were steams coming off his face.
Sakuragi : …Kitsune? Kitsune!!
***
Rukawa was carried to the hospital by those he knew who just happens to pass by. Again, girls seem to giggle when Sakuragi walked by them. It seems like the news about the previous mishap had already been heard.
Ruri : Ayako… Did you heard? They were the freshmen from the basketball team, right?
Ayako : …Wakatte yo, Ruri… You don't have to tell me that again… *face turns blue*
Ruri : …Are you okay?
Ayako : I don't know… It still kinda feels like a shock to me…
Ruri : Hmm… Are you feeling fine now?
Ayako : …betsuni…
Ruri : You're still feeling sick since yesterday, ne?
Ayako : I guess…
Ruri : Tell me! How did you happen to find out…
Ayako : Mou… You don't wanna know… *moans*
Ruri : Hmm… Did Akagi-sempai and the members-tachi heard it also…
Ayako : It was a mess…
Ruri : *frowns* It sounds interesting… Ne, Ayakooo… Tell me…. Please??
Ayako : …Why do you want to know so much?!!?!
Ruri : …Umm… *blushes* Because…
Ayako : Tell me the reason or else I won't say a word…
Ruri : *blushes more* Well, it's not that I had been keeping this secret from you or anyone else… I'm just… Don't know when to or how to say this…
Ayako : *sharpens eyes* What? What in the world could that be…?
Ruri : I… Atashi… Akagi-sempai ga suki desu…
Ayako : *eyes snaps wide open. She felt like a huge rock from Grand Canyon had just fallen over her head* …What… did you… say? (Voice is trembling with… doubt)
Ruri : *shuts her eyes while her face turns deep red* Kyaaaaa!!! I just can't stand to keep it to myself anymore!! Kyaaaa!!
Ayako : *fixes her hair* Cho… Chotto matte! What did you just… say… about…. Akagi-sempai….?
Ruri : Mouuuu, Ayako!! I know you've heard it… I… I… *freaks* Kyaaaaaa!!! Akagi-sempai is sooooo cute!!
Ayako : *ready to throw up* Oh my God… What on earth is wrong with people nowadays?!?!
Ruri : Don't say that, Ayako-san… Can't you see? Are you blind?! Akagi-kun… Akagi-kun wa…. He's the coolest man on earth!!! What can you say more? I mean… He got that unique face… His lips are just so adorable… He loves his sister, and that means he'll love me more if I'm his girlfriend *freaks* Kyaaa!!! And then… Uh… He got those well-built muscles… and… and…
Ayako : He eats bananas…
Ruri : Yeah! Yeah! He eats banana— What?! How could you!!!
Ayako : *grins sheepishly* Gomen gomen!
Ruri : I couldn't believe you're so mean… Well, let's just get back to the topic!!!!! I couldn't say more…!! He's the type of man I dreamt— Iya da! Most females dreamt of!!! Oh my gawd he's just soooooooo handsome… Akagii, my type of dreamdate!
Meanwhile, Akagi was walking by to school with his sister.
Akagi : *sneezes* Hachoo!!!!
Haruko : Oni-chan? Daijoubu desu ka?
Akagi : … I think… *sweatdrops*
Back to Ayako and Ruri…
Ruri : *still babbling about Akagi and his type* I really want a boyfriend who's like Akagi… I had wished so much!! And then I couldn't believe my dream had just came true! I guess God still loves me, ne? I believe Akagi was born just for me…. Kyaaaa!! *freaks again* I just couldn't believe it! My type of guy is standing before my eyes!!! Akagi-sempai, you're just soooo gorgeous, Kyaaaa!!
Ayako : *shooks her head in pity* Fetish… Fetish…
Ruri : Ne…. You've heard enough, ne? Now tell me! How was Akagi's reaction that time?! Did he find out too? I mean… And about you, Rukawa and Sakuragi… How?! How?!?!
Ayako : Chill!!!!! Chill down, okay?? *looks pissed. She surrenders and feels like telling the truth*
Ayako : It all began….
And then like you've seen in the movies, the screen becomes watery and wet. The pictures of Ayako's face soon turned to chains of ripples on a crystal clear water. The sound of harp were playing in the air. The color fades and the next thing that shown is the scene of another, different time. The scene was when Rukawa was found lying on the floor with foams coming out of his mouth, and Sakuragi had left them aside…
TO BE CONTINUED…
a.n :: just like I've mentioned, I like to leave things hanging… I admit it, I'm mean… :P Sorry about the lateness of the update, I had to work on things. It's finished now, and I'm glad… ^__^;;… There's one problem, though…. Heheh… My skin were allergic to bandages… and then while practicing, I got my fingers scratched and bruised. I had no other choice than to wear the bandages. At first I thought that if I change it oftenly like 2 times a day, it won't get itchy and bumpy and all that grotesque thingy. I was wrong though… __ I can't type well, I cant even use my left index and middle finger as much as I should… Gomen! I couldn't type fast… T__T…
For I was the one to blame, I'll just be kind… I'll give you a preview of the next chapter :)…. Umm… not too much, though… :P
PREVIEW
Haruko : It's all my fault…
Miyagi : Kogure-san! Ayako-san's… Ayako-san's…!!!!!
Rukawa : It came over me in a rush…
END OF PREVIEW :P
Anyways, regarding some of your reviews, you don't want it to be yaoi? Don't worry too much… there won't be any… umm… gay-like affections shown in the later chapters… it's just based on pov thingy and of course : misunderstanding! :) Mata nee~~
