AN: Seeing as at the moment, we're actually reading Romeo and Juliet, I decided to update this fanfiction. Arg, projects. I'm going to try to update all my fics though, so stick around.
Under Stairs Conversations and Confusion
Sanosuke turned a sharp corner into the middle school. He had tried to make it to the guidance councilor, but Sayo and Megumi had followed him there. Man, those girls were fast. He remembered now that both of them had been on the track team before. Thinking back to middle school, he tries to remember the best hiding place. It hits him: under the stairs! Quickly he slips in the small space in between the stairs and the window.
As he sat underneath the stairs, surrounded by beaten up looking chairs and an inch thick layer of dust on the floor, he wondered what the hell he had done to deserve this.
"Sanosuke?" A voice called. He panicked and scotched back, having realized that there was no way out of the small storage space. Well, there was a door a little further back, but it was locked for most of the time. And anyways, the figure had slipped into the space with him.
"Who is it?" He calls, hoping to god that it wasn't Megumi or Sayo. Both of them would probably maul him. And if they killed him, no one would find him for days. And everyone was at sports, so no one would hear him scream.
"It's Kaoru." He sighs a little, than tensed up again. This was Meguim's best friend. She might take it into her hands to take revenge for her. He wondered if it would be a good time to run.
"What do you want?"
"First of all, I want to know why the hell you're sitting under the stairs in the middle school."
"I don't particularly love being mauled by furious girls. Do you?" He grumbled.
"Okay, I get your point. And don't get me wrong, I have no intention to maul you. I just wanted to talk to you." Sanosuke's eyes widen. Talk? That was worse than being mauled. He starts to scotch towards the door behind him.
"And if you think you're getting out of it, you're nuts. Megumi and Sayo are in the middle school right now. They followed you here. I remembered this hiding place, and figured this is where you would be. They probably won't find you here. But then again, if I screamed..."
He clamped his hand over her mouth. "Fine." He hissed. I'll talk. What do you want to talk about?"
"I wanted to talk about Megumi. I want to know what you feel about her." Sanosuke's eye twitched. She didn't really expect him to talk about his feelings for Megumi, did she? He didn't know how to explain what the hell he felt for her to himself, never mind putting it into words so that someone else could understand. It was... complicated.
"I really don't know." He says, hoping that she'll let him escape with that.
"Let's put it this way. Do you have feelings for her?"
"Maybe." Kaoru sighed with exasperation. So he was going to take the vague road, huh?
"Look, here's how this is going to go down. Give me a yes or a no, or I scream and you have one hysterical girl and one very confused one at your throat. Do you really want that?" Sanosuke swallowed, weighing his options.
"Well, what do you think?" He said, trying to sound tough.
"I think you do." There was a moment of silence.
"What?"
"That kiss wasn't staged. There was something there. And you two fight way to much for there not to be some sort of chemistry there. Am I right?"
"I-I don't know." Sanosuke stuttered. Kaoru opened up her mouth to scream and for the second time Sanosuke clamped his hand over it. He had to do something fast, or she would scream and he would be as good as dead. "Fine! I do have feelings for her. Sometimes. It just she's so..." He shakes his head, running out of words. "Anyways, if there are, they certainly aren't returned."
"Look, if I were you, I wouldn't be so sure." She starts to get up. "I'll tell them that I saw you head down to the MAC, (AN: Our gym.) okay? Try to get out of here pretty quickly, though. Maybe head into the woods." She slips out, but before leaving stuck her head back in.
"Oh, and Sanosuke? I'm looking forward to this play." Then she was gone. There is a slight commotion outside and the sound of pattering feet heading out. He curled up into a ball.
'So you've finally admitted that you have feelings for her.' A little voice inside of his head gloats.
I was just lying to get her friend to go away, he thinks.
'No, you weren't.'
How do you know I wasn't?
'Just assume that I know these things. I am, in fact, a part of your subconscious.'
Whatever. I don't like her, okay.
'Look, it's pointless to lie to yourself. Because something inside of you will always know the truth. You're going to have to admit it to yourself sooner or later.'
Look, I was lying! Can't you just take that as an answer.
'Fine then. If you were lying, like you said, why didn't you just tell her the "truth" that you don't like her?'
Sanosuke pushed the thought out of his head, getting up and out of the room. He needed to think. He headed towards the woods as Kaoru suggested.
Kaoru had adequately described Megumi as confused. Well, confused about whether to slap him, or just pretend nothing had happened, or, well...
The thing was, her pride wouldn't allow a third option to exist. But something deep in her chest knew that her pride wouldn't win the battle in the long run. Something else was going on here, something that won over pride nine times out of ten.
She sighed. What had there been in that kiss? Whatever it was, it was damn confusing.
She had checked all the fields, but he was in none of them. Sayo was frantically checking everywhere, the look of a wild and dangerous beast in her eyes. (AN: Yes, she is OOC. But I just hate the idea of her! Is that such a crime?) Megumi had made sure to stay out of her way.
She starts to hike up back to the middle school and gives up. Sitting by the side of the road, she sighed. The campus was just way to big. By the time she had searched all of it, he would already be gone.
She's just wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow she would find him, make him explain what was going on. Make him explain why he had kissed her like that. Maybe even make him explain why the hell she was feeling like this.
AN: So, I finally updated! And in one sitting, too.
READERS: It's the least you could do, making us wait for nearly three months.
Monigue: It's not my fault! I blame school.
Readers: That's not going to cut it.
Monigue: (Sweating.) I blame the government. That's it! It's all the government's fault. CONSPIRACY!!! (Runs away screaming.)
Turnip: If you couldn't already tell, she's gone insane. It's the solar car. She's snapped. It doesn't move.
Monigue: HAVE NOT! Our car moves now. Yay! (Hands out cookies to all readers that have "Horrah for Solar Car Moving" written on them in icing.) Well, if you can't tell, I'm in a pretty random mood. Review my story please!
