After that meeting between Hanajima and me things changed. Not completely to the point were we are all buddy buddy, but we actually talk to each other in a more friendly manner. She still likes to creep the hell out of me but I don't think that will ever change...
With my arms stretched above my head I continued to watch the clouds pass by with the cool breeze. I was currently spending my lunch hour on top of the school roof with a small cat curled next to me who refuses to leave me alone. Closing my eyes I begin to stretch out more on the ground, sighing deeply. Today was just too nice of a day to go to school.
"I swear this place is completely useless...ruining such a nice day..."
"I agree with you...Souma-kun...The breeze does feel nice."
"Yeah it does,"...Wait...I thought I was the only one up here...Quickly opening my eyes the image of Hanajima bent over me and staring straight at me comes into my view.
"Ky.... KYAAAHHHHHH!!!"(TM- if you guys ever read fake this scream is used often) Without thinking I quickly sit up and connect foreheads with her, creating a rather loud thud. OW OW OW... my eyes clenched shut in pain and I held my head in my hands. Crap I'm going to feel this later...Why did she have to...all...HANAJIMA! Looking up I saw that she was in the same position as me, sitting down with her hands pressed to her forehead.
"Ha...Hanajima?...erm uh," I moved a bit closer to her, seeing if I could get a better look at the damage I've done...Well...It's her damn fault anyway! She shouldn't have popped out of freaking nowhere!! I was sitting close to her but I made sure that I was at least arms length away...hmm...keeping silent I began to observe her small pale fingers which were decorated with black paint...the contrast between the two seemed nice to look at...also the way her hands are shaped...
"Tohru was worried..." I blinked and an image of Tohru's smiling face appeared...Tohru...turning my head away from Hanajima's direction I replied in a gruff voice, feeling somewhat empty at the moment.
"About what?"
"You forgot your lunch." With that said a small box was dropped into my lap, wrapped in a white cloth.
"She couldn't come up because the teacher asked her to stay, Uo-chan is sick today since she would have came and teased you, Yuki dislikes you, Haru wanted to stay with Yuki, Momiji I couldn't fine, and so I was left to bring you your food.".... Why the hell does she always have to explain every damn thing? Slightly frustrated with the explanation I glared at the small box for bringing so much trouble.
"How's your forehead?" It came out as a grumble but I'm pretty sure she heard it.
"What was that Souma-kun?"
I turned and glared at her screaming, "I SAID HOW IS YOUR DAMN FOREHEAD!!!"
"As you can see I'm quite alright"
I inwardly flinched...great...there was a huge red mark on her forehead. I really hope that goes away before lunch ends. Looking down I glanced down at the small box of pocky in her hands, and then I looked at the box of lunch in my lap.
"Do you want to share?" hoping that she would take it as an apology.
She quietly opened the box of pocky and took one out. "These will provide me with the energy I need to get through the rest of the school day," giving her a dry look and responded in an equally dry voice, "Just Sugar?...You need more than sugar your going to get yourself sick"
She kept quiet and began to chew on one, glancing at the small cat next to my side. Her silence immediately showed that she was no longer going to talk about what she should and should not eat. I quickly untied the lunch box and opened the lid. Like I care if she gets sick...so what it would be her own fault. Stuffing a bite of rice in my mouth, I tried to ignore my thoughts of her getting sick...psycho people cant sick anyway right? I chewed a bit thoughtfully. I mean they can't feel...rig-...CRAP...now that my good mood was completely destroyed and not wanting to start a scene, I glared at the chopsticks in my hands as if I was about to give them the most horrible death.
"You seem to have a lot on your mind..."
"Yeah whatever," I lifted up the box to my mouth and proceeded to shove the contents of the box into my mouth. This continued until my ears picked up a faint clicking noise and my attention went immediately to Hanajima. She was tapping her hand softly on the rooftop while her mouth was creating this weird clicking noise. This all, for some strange reason, completely fascinated me. I don't know why but I just kept my eyes fixated on her. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the small cat hesitantly crawl towards her until its nose touched the tip of her finger. She gave the small cat a soft gaze and a warm smile, and it surprised me to see her face like that...it was almost scary. Her small delicate fingers began to brush through the thick multi-colored coat of the cat, and the cat began to purr in complete pleasure. I watched as the fur ran through her fingers and also watched the content look of the cat. It became to much for me and I had to turn away...I don't know why but I felt...jealous...hearing the softness of her voice I quickly replied, hoping to forget my earlier thoughts.
"What,"
"The cat"
"What about the cat," my frustrations of her not reaching the point quickly enough began to rumble in the back of my throat, but of course she ignored my growling and stared straight at the box of food in my hands.
"The cat is Hungry," on reflex I pulled the box out of her sight.
"It can fend for its self!" her face went completely dead of emotion and her violet black eyes slanted dangerously into a glare...and I KNOW THEY WERE GLOWING...DON'T TRY TO TELL ME IT'S THE DAMN SUN!!
Staring at the box of food in my hands I wondered if it was really worth getting fried for.... No it is not. I quickly tossed it on the ground and watched as the cat devoured the rest of MY food.
"Satisfied?"
"Not exactly," this caused me to look up at her, but before my eyes could even reach her she was walking off. And before I could stop myself I called out to her.
"Where are you going?"
"No where," She reached the railing that wrapped around the roof. Placing her hands firmly on the railing she began to lean forward. She kept leaning to the point which worried me and I quickly got up and ran over to her to keep her from falling, but her voice stopped me before I could even touch her.
"I said I was going no where," even if she meant differently her words had comforted me in a strange way. We both ignored the school bell ringing, and I stood there just watching her balance on the railing knowing she wouldn't go anywhere.
.........................................................................................................
"Why was Kyou-san and Hana-chan late to class?? Did something happen? Did you get your lunch?" it was the end of school and Tohru and I were just barely walking out of the locker room. Yuki was staying after school for some meeting or whatever.
"No we just didn't hear the bell...and yes Tohru I got my lunch...Will you stop asking questions already"
"Ah! Sorry!!!"
"And stop saying sorry all the time!!"
"Sorry!!"
"Bah! Your impossible!" I grinned at her despite my frustration...I just couldn't help it. Suddenly Tohru had stopped and looked straightforward with a rather surprised look. Out of curiosity I glanced in front of us. Haru was standing there a couple yards away touching some girls cheek.... why would this...matter...Is that Hanajima? They were talking but I couldn't hear the words and I was deeply confused as to why Hanajima would let someone touch her like that.
"Hmm I wonder if Hana-chan and Haru-san are together!" Tohru was extremely excited about this idea...but...I suddenly felt nauseous...the type of feeling I get when only rain comes...why? The sky is clear...I quickly grabbed Tohru's hand and made a HUGE detour around the...'Couple'...practically running I quickly went down the sidewalk towards home, not really noticing that Tohru was having a hard time keeping up. I don't care...why should I care...if she wants to be with a stupid cow then so what! It doesn't matter!! The image of them together flashed through my head causing my footsteps to slow down...but...why?
I didn't notice I had completely stopped walking until I heard Tohru's voice. Looking up I saw Tohru gaze at me with a worried yet confused expression.
"Tohru..." I reached out to her and pulled her close to me, making sure that she was still a few inches away. My forehead leaned down on her shoulder and my eyelids closed shut. All I need is Tohru...I love her...No one else. ............................................................................................................
Ok...so what if BOTH Hanjima and Haru aren't here at school today...so what both of them can be sick at the same time. I don't care. Nope. Not in the slightest bit. A lot of people are out today because of that sickness going around. So what if they happen to be sick the day right after we see them all over each other...they're sick good for them...
"I DON'T CARE!!!"...Did I just say that out loud...I glanced around at the people staring at me in my class.
"MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUISNESS!!!" they all quickly turned around and began to talk to each other as if nothing happened...ok I need to calm down...I'm tired that's all...yeah tired.
Huh? Why was everyone staring at me again?? Looking up I saw that my hand was raised and quickly got confused. My teacher took the liberty of clearing things up for me.
"Why thank you Kyou-san it's very kind of you to take Hanjima-san's homework home for her." Oh ok.
"...WHAT!?"
............................................................................................................
Getting off the subway near Hanajima's house I felt like a complete idiot. Not only did I get myself into this whole homework mess I bought her soup, tea and pocky. I kept telling myself that I only did this to be nice because she was sick...yeah that's right! She eats like crap so I have to bring her something at least healthy...the pocky was a treat, but oh well!!!That is beside the point!...I glared at her door as I rammed my fist into the doorbell...man I am a freaking idiot.
"Souma-kun?" she came out a little with a blanket wrapped around her, her hair a mess and had a surprised look on her face. I almost...ALMOST...smiled at her appearance...she looked like a normal girl for a split second. Also I noticed her hair was down. I mean I know I've seen her with her hair down but this was the first time I actually NOTICED...and... Well it looked...nice.
"What are you doing here?" I lifted up the homework packet in front of her face and then the grocery bag of food. She was much more interested in what was in the bag. I figured that she wouldn't even touch her homework
"What is that?"
"A Treat," my voice grumbled out my answer and she moved to the side to let me in. She took the packet and went in the kitchen tossing it onto the table.
"Would you like anything to drink?" She moved to go to the cabinets but my voice stopped her.
"Sit" She stared at me for a moment then obeyed my command and slowly sat down, watching every movement I made. I took out the can of soup, the box of tea and left the pocky sticks in the bag for later. Looking around for a few minutes and with the help of Hanajima's instructions I found what I needed and started on the soup and boiling the water for tea. After putting the two tea bags into two separate mugs I watched out of the corner of my eye as she moved her sitting place from the chair to the counter.
My hand quickly reached in the bag and tossed her the box of pocky. She caught it with ease and opened it quickly. She's hungry?...
"Hanajima...when did you last eat?"
"Last night."
"..."great...I poured the hot water into the two mugs and pushed them to the side to set for awhile. Curious I walked up to her and watched as she ate her pocky.
"Do you like that flavor?" she nodded and pulled another one out and pointed it in my direction. Without thinking I leaned forward and took a bite...huh...it was good. I glanced up at her and she looked back down at me...and I quickly looked away.
"So how did you and that cow get together?" I accidentally blurted it out suddenly.
"The cow?" oops
"I meant Haru!!"
"I believe Haru fancies your cousin much more then me." I glared at her out of the corner of my eye.
"Then why were you all over each other," she gave me a dry look in response to my glare.
"Touching a person's cheek isn't exactly considered to be all over someone."
"Why would you let him then!?" my anger rose to a point where I couldn't control my tone of voice.
"I felt no danger that he would try to do anything to me," that confused me and luckily my confusion calmed down my sudden anger.
"He just told me I reminded him of someone he still loves" she just shrugged and pulled out another pocky, and suddenly a wave of embarrassment washed over me. Why did I get so worked up over something so stupid? Trying to change the subject I began to mumble under my breath.
"The soup is ready," with that I helped her get down from the counter, got a bowl of soup ready for her and with her help got the tea and food to the table. For the rest of the afternoon we spoke with each other about non- important things, homework and worked on eating the rest of her pocky.
I suddenly sneezed.
