Chapter 7
I never felt so nervous my entire life and Sendoh was grinning that hentai grin of his, 'What does he want? What if he jumps at me? This is the greatest danger I've ever been in.'
Thump-thump. Thump-thump.
"You look pale, Hana-kun. Are you ok?"
My heart rate changed to thumpthumpthumpthump! Thumpthumpthumpthump!
"I…I'm fine. Wh-what do you w-want?"
Sendoh frowned, "You sure? You're stuttering."
"Yes…" I said uncertainly.
"I just wanted to talk. Are you scared of me?" he asked quite seriously.
'Calm down, Sakuragi. He can't hurt you. You can beat the crap out of him, if he tries anything funny…wait…what if he's stronger than me?! What if I can't beat him up?!! What if he-'
"Hana-kun?"
"Yes!"
He looked at me for a long time and wore the most thoughtful look I've ever seen on him, "Why don't you like me? If I lose you to another guy, I can accept it but if I lose you to a girl I can't."
'Lose me?!? Does he actually think he had me?!' I wondered, "Wh-what do you mean?"
"If you don't like me because of another guy, I got nothing to say but if you don't like me because I'm a guy, I can't accept that," he said, "I believe I can change your sexual preference. I believe if you give me a chance I can-"
As soon as I realize what he was implying and his illogical reasoning I blurted out, "I like guys!!"
He looked surprised, "Really? You do?"
'Why did I say that? What am I thinking?!' I thought as I forced a nod.
"Who?"
'Who? Not the guntai. Those guys will never let me forget it and will probably tell Sendoh the truth just so they can watch the show. Not Gori, he's Haruko-chan's oniisan. I can't let her think I'm gay. Not Ryota he's too obsess with Ayako to help me out, plus he'll probably tell the guntai. Megane-san? Him and Gori are best friends, what if he leaks it out to Gori? Then Haruko-chan will find out. Mitchy? But he's such a loud mouth and I got a suspicion that he is gay. I mean lets not forget he use to have long girly hair. And he's close to Megane-san. Who does that leave? Kitsune?!?! No way!! But…I can expect him to keep this a secret since he never talks and is so busy sleeping. I don't have to be afraid that he's gay since he seems to have as much interest in guys as he does in girls. Which is none. But…he's…a kitsune!!'
"Hana-kun?"
'Who to chose?'
"You're lying aren't you?" Sendoh asked.
"No!! Rukawa!!" I shouted before I could stop myself, 'what did I just say?'
The kitsune actually opened the door, stuck out his head, and asked in a sleepy voice, "What?"
"Nothing! Go back into the locker room! And stop being such a nosy kitsune! You shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversation!!"
He sighed, "Baka, don't shout my name then."
"Teme, kitsune!"
He went back inside.
Sendoh laughed, "Are you sure you like him?"
"…"
"You two sure are interesting. I'll come next time to see you guys," he said walking away.
'Did he actually believe that? Why did I have go to pick that kitsune? Should I tell him? What if Sendoh starts talking to him about it? But he'll never help me. He hates me. What did I get myself into? Wait? Did Sendoh say come see us? What does that mean? That he decides to come again, just to check out if I'm telling the truth?! That means I got to ask that kitsune for help. No!'
