Chapter 8: 'She hugged me...'


The next day... while Yuki was walking to school...

"This is so freakishly weird... why does Shinji want to talk to me about something face to face?" Yuki asked herself, kicking a can on the street, "Why the heck didn't he just leave a message on the phone last night?"

Yuki sighed and entered school grounds. She noticed Isumi hanging around with a group of girls trailing behind Takeshi. She sighed again, shaking her head in disgust.

"Really... I don't see anything likable in that guy..." Yuki snorted, turning her back away from them, "Shinji looks much cuter than him!"

Yuki sat down on a school bench when she noticed Isumi running towards her.

"Hey!"

"Hey..." Yuki said, "What are you doing here?"

"Oh... nothing..." Isumi said, sighing.

Yuki looked up at her with a curious face.

"Hey- what's wrong?" Yuki asked as Isumi sighed.

"It's Shinji... he's..."

"EH?" Yuki stood up from her seat in alarm, "Why?! What's wrong?! What happened to him?!"

"Hahaha..." Isumi said laughing as Yuki blushed, "Aww... Yuki really is in love with Shinji..."

"Stop it!!! Don't make me blush!!!" Yuki exclaimed hitting her on the head.

"Ow-OW- Okay- stop it!" Isumi exclaimed as Yuki stopped in surprise.

All of a sudden, a tall sophomore girl walked up to Isumi and whispered something to her ear. Isumi froze in shock, her eyes had gone wide. Yuki just looked at her curiously.

"Why that no good idiot!!!" Isumi exclaimed angrily, crushing the empty soda can in her hand.

Yuki sweat dropped.

"Ah!!! I can't believe him! This is big news!!!"

"Huh?"

"That no good Shinji- I'll kill him with my bare hands-"

"Woah! Hold on- What are you talking about?! Shinji?!" Yuki exclaimed in surprise as Isumi's eyes blazed in anger.

"That idiot! How could he?!"

"How could he what?!"

"I can't believe him! This has never happened before!!!"

"What are you talking about?!?!?!"

"I'm gonna shred him to pieces-"

"ISUMI!!!"

"What?" Isumi said in surprise looking at her irritated friend.

"What happened to Shinji?!"

"Huh? Did something happen to him already?! 'Damn- I was too late'"

"No! What were you talking about just a minute ago?! You said it had something to do with Shinji! 'or is she playing again with me?!'"

"Oh... that.... Well.... You see..."

"What the heck is it already?!?!?!"

"Shinji refused Takeshi's challenge letter!" Isumi said fuming again as Yuki fell down anime style.

"WAS THAT WHAT YOU WERE SO ANGRY ABOUT?!?!?!"

"Yeah! Who wouldn't be angry? Basketball is the best sport around!" Isumi said as Yuki hit her on the head, "Ouch!"

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my entire life!" Yuki exclaimed sitting back down on her seat, "I'm glad someone finally refused that big shot..."

"You're so mean!!!"

"You are too!!!"

Recess...

"Ah? You're not going to sit over with that Takamoto guy of yours?" Yuki asked as Isumi sat down beside her under a tree, "Especially after Shinji dumped him?! 'Eww... that sounds like they're gays!'"

"Um... no... 'I wish I could... he might be so upset over the whole Shinji thing...'" Isumi said, rolling her eyes, "He's not even out for recess... he said he had something important to do..."

"Jeeze... so you left him because he just said he had something important to do?" Yuki said in disgust as Isumi pouted, "HA! And I thought you were so in love with the guy- you can't even cheer him up after Shinji dumped him! 'Okay... that DEFINITELY sounds weird...'"

"Well... yeah! Cause according to the TFC Observation 7-"

"The WH-What?!"

"TFC Observation 7!" Isumi snapped, "Whenever Takeshi Takamoto says that he has something important to do, it is a must that no one disturbs him! The reason is it may be for a new basketball game- or exams- or..."

"That's really weird if you ask me..."

"No it is NOT!"

"Is too!"

"IS NOT!

"Is too..."

"IS NOT!"

"Is too..."

"ARGH!!!!" Isumi exclaimed, scratching her head in annoyance as Yuki giggled.

"Okay-fine- I'm sorry... jeeze... you don't have to be all protective of that weird lover of yours..." Yuki said sarcastically as Isumi turned red.

"You don't understand it, do you?"

"Nope..." Yuki said, "Hmm... Huh? Oh yeah! I forgot something! 'Damn! How could I forget?!'"

"Why? What's wrong?!"

"Huh? Oh... nothing... I just had to go meet someone right now... it totally slipped out of my mind..." Yuki said blushing as Isumi raised a brow at her, grinning slyly, "What?"

"So... tell me... who's this person you're supposed to meet?" Isumi said, slyly as Yuki turned redder.

"Um...uh... Shinji wants to meet me..." Yuki said, blushing furiously, "I mean- he said that the wants to talk to me during recess..."

"Then why don't you go talk to him already?" Isumi said hotly as Yuki shrugged.

"I can't- he didn't tell me where we should meet..." Yuki said shrugging as Isumi fell down anime style, "So I'm just staying right here until I see him pass by..."

"No-you-won't!" Isumi exclaimed, pulling her friend to her feet, "You're gonna go out there and look for the damn guy!"

"Hello?! Have you suddenly become dense?!" Yuki asked in annoyance, knocking on Isumi's head.

"Ah- quit that!"

"Well- what am I supposed to do?! This is a huge school for heaven's sake! I can't find him in 10 minutes only!" Yuki snapped as Isumi sighed.

"Well- I remember both his and Takeshi's class both have music just before recess..."Isumi suggested, "Try checking the auditorium... I think they had a test on the minuet in G today..."

"How the heck do you get all this stuff?!" Yuki cried as Isumi started to walk away towards the gym, "Hey! Answer my question!!!"

"Oh-don't worry- I have my sources..." Isumi said, her eyes glinting, "Anyway- I'm off to find my beloved Takeshi!"

"Yeah... sure... leave me..." Yuki said with a sigh, rolling her eyes, as she headed for the auditorium.

-----

Just outside the auditorium, Yuki heard a guitar being played. Yuki looked at the closed auditorium doors in curiosity, 'Hmm... I wonder who's playing.' Yuki thought as she softly and slowly opened the auditorium doors.

"... How I only wish that she's here right by me...

So I can tell her just how much I love her...

So I can tell her... Just... how... much... I love... her-"

Takeshi stopped singing and playing his guitar. He looked up from his music stand in caution. His eyes widened as he blushed. He saw Yuki staring right back at him, blushing as well.

"J-Janitor- I mean... Yuki?!" He stammered, quickly laying his guitar down on his chair as he stood up, "W-What are you doing here?"

"Um... I was... just... looking for Shinji..." Yuki replied, turning red, "Um... have you seen him anywhere around here? Isumi said he might be here..."

"Yatsushima Shinji? No... I remember him leaving after music... he seemed to be in a hurry then..." Takeshi replied, trying to look calm, "Why? Is he your boyfriend or something?"

"NO!" Yuki exclaimed as her face burned in embarrassment.

"Feh- yeah right... why are you looking for the guy then?" Takeshi said, trying to hide the annoyance in his voice.

Yuki turned red in anger.

"You know what?! I don't even know WHY I'm wasting my time with a JERK like you?!" Yuki angrily exclaimed, "And I'm glad Shinji dumped you!!!"

"Huh? 'Dumped me?!'"

She turned her back on him and rushed right out of the auditorium, slamming the door behind her.

During Art class...

"So... Did you get to talk to Shinji?" Isumi whispered, mixing some red and white paint together.

"No," Yuki snapped in irritation as she dabbed some green on her canvas.

"What's wrong with you?! You seem awfully cranky since recess..." Isumi said in a low voice, "Anyway, I didn't find Takeshi a while ago and..."

"TAKESHI TAKESHI TAKESHI! That's all I ever hear about!!!" Yuki exclaimed angrily, "Why can't you talk about something else for once?!"

Suddenly...

"Kisaragi?! Detention!!! We'll talk outside! NOW!" the teacher exclaimed.

Yuki sighed gloomily as she followed the teacher out of the class room.

"Poor Yuki..." Isumi said with a sigh.

During lunch...

"Isumi! Isumi!"

"Huh? Oh! Shinji! What're you doing here?! Where the heck have you been?! 'I'm gonna pound you to smithereens!!!'" Isumi asked, her eyes glinting evilly.

Shinji sighed as both of them sat down on an empty table.

"I'm really sorry... I should've told you guys, especially Yuki..." Shinji sighed, "The baseball team called for an emergency meeting in the middle of music period, so I had to go... or coach will sack me... anyway, it ended at the end of recess... so I wasn't able to meet Yuki... I'm really sorry..."

"'Hmm... I guess I'll just pound him next time... Yuki's in detention because of me... Have to go do something for her...' HEY! Don't apologize to me! Well you can after what you did to Takeshi! - But we'll talk about that later- anyway, apologize to Yuki!" Isumi said, sipping her juice, "She really seemed grumpy after recess... I don't really know if it's because you didn't show up..."

"Oh man... damn!" Shinji said, looking worried, "Where's Yuki anyway?"

"OH! In detention- Art room! Go to her right now!"

---

"Damn detention..." Yuki grumbled, soaking a piece of cloth in a bucket of water, "Now I won't have much time to eat..."

She scrubbed the last blackboard and sighed, dumping the water in the art room sink. Then, she placed the cloth and bucket back into the art closet. She then washed her hands on the sink and shook them to get rid of the excess water. She sighed as she checked her watch.

"Damn... ten minutes left..."

She hurriedly got her bag and headed for the door. All of a sudden, someone entered the room at the same time, causing them to both collide at each other.

"OW..." Yuki cried, rubbing her aching head.

"Sorry Yuki... I didn't mean to bump into you..."

"Shinji?!" Yuki asked in surprise as she picked up her bag from the floor, "What are you doing here? How'd you find me?!"

Suddenly, her stomach lurched as Shinji smirked.

"Sorry... I see you're hungry.... Here..." he said, offering her some rice cakes, "Eat it now before you die of hunger..."

"Ha ha ha... very funny..." Yuki said, rolling her eyes as she bit into one of his rice cakes, "Hey! These are good! Did you make them or did they actually serve something good in the cafeteria for once?"

Shinji laughed.

"Yeah... I made them... but they're not really that good..." Shinji said, trying to act humble, "Anyway, let's get out of here before a teacher catches us alone..."

Yuki blushed at the thought, nodding in agreement. She finished her current rice cake as they headed out of the art room.

-----

"So... you haven't answered my question yet..." Yuki said, finishing another rice cake, "Who told you I'd be in the Art room?"

"Huh? Oh... Isumi did..." Shinji said as he started explaining about the emergency baseball meeting and apologizing for not telling her.

"It's alright... I don't mind..." Yuki said as she finished the last of Shinji's rice cakes, "Oops...Ah... Sorry about your rice cakes... they're just too good to resist... and for the fact that I didn't get to eat lunch..."

"Nah... that's okay... I actually made them for you..."

"Me? Why me?" Yuki asked in surprise, blushing madly.

"Ah... Hmm... it's nothing... Shinji said, trying to look innocent.

"Oh yeah... Why do you want to talk to me again?" Yuki asked, checking her watch, "Oh no! I forgot! I have music today!!!"

"Wait Yuki..." Shinji said as Yuki interrupted, "Call me later... I promise... we'll talk, okay? Thanks!"

She gave Shinji a quick hug and headed towards the auditorium.

'She hugged me... It must be my lucky day...'
