Chapter 10: No Parents?


Janitor's closet...

'I am not going to cry-' Yuki commanded herself, trying to find a mop and a bucket from the closet.

She quickly hastily grabbed everything she needed for her triple detention and headed for the girl's washroom.

She tried to stop the tears building up in her eyes to stop from falling. She filled the bucket, which she was carrying, with water.

'I shouldn't cry- I mustn't cry... not here... not now...' she thought as she tried to drag the heavy pail to the first year hall with the mop still in her hands, 'If I cry now-'

All of a sudden, some water spilled from the bucket she was carrying. To Yuki's surprise, she slipped on the puddle of water on the floor. Yuki yelped in pain and fell flat on her butt. The now empty bucket went sailing in the air. Then it landed with a thud a few meters away from her and the mop now sprawled on the floor.

Water scattered everywhere. The bucket went rolling away from her. She was completely soaked.

She banged her fists angrily at the watery floor surrounding her.

'Why do these all happen to me?!' Yuki thought, covering her face with her wet hands.

She began to cry...

Suddenly, the gym doors opened and out came Takeshi in his red and white basketball uniform. He quickly looked down at the floor in surprise as he felt his feet splashing against the watery floor. He looked around and found Yuki crying softly on the wet floor.

Takeshi looked at her with a feeling of sympathy. He didn't know why, but he just couldn't see her crying like that. He walked over to her and kneeled down next to her on the wet floor. He sighed, listening to Yuki's small sniffles. He got something out of his pocket then tapped Yuki on the shoulder.

"Here..."

Yuki removed her hands from her face in surprise. She looked up to the person kneeling next to her, widening her eyes in complete astonishment. She found Takeshi blushing slightly while holding out a white handkerchief to her.

"Um... take it... you need it..." he said, smiling kindly as Yuki hesitated, turning her head away from him.

Tears began to build up ion her eyes again.

"No... really... it's okay... take it... please?" Takeshi urged her as Yuki looked up once more at him.

She gazed at his dark blue eyes then sighed. Shyly, she took the white cloth from his hand. She blushed madly, staring down at the handkerchief in her hands.

"Um... thanks..."

"No problem... Do you... uh... need any help?" Takeshi asked scanning the wet floors around them.

"I-Iie..." Yuki blushed, shaking her head slightly, "I'll be okay..."

"You sure? I can help you out you know- it looks like you need some dry clothing..." Takeshi mumbled, blushing madly.

Yuki blushed, and turned away from him.

"H-Hai... I'll be fine..." she mumbled when she noticed his hands out-stretched towards her.

"Let me at least help you up then..." he mumbled as Yuki blushed again.

She nodded silently and took both his hands in hers. But as she stood up, she slipped on some of the water underneath her.

"Aah!"

"I got you..."

The two looked up at each other and blushed. They both couldn't believe the position they were in. Yuki was pressed on Takeshi's body; her arms were wrapped around his neck to support her from falling. Takeshi was holding on to her to stop her from falling; his arms were wrapped around Yuki's waist. Their faces were just inches apart. Both their heartbeats quickened.

They both blushed and quickly separated from each other.

"Ah... gomen... um... I got you all wet..." Yuki mumbled, blushing madly.

"Uh... really? Hmm... I guess you did..." Takeshi said, chuckling slightly, trying his best to stop blushing, "Well... I guess I better go then..."

"Thanks..." Yuki mumbled once more as Takeshi smiled.

"Hey- no problem... you take care okay?" he said as we slowly dragged himself away.

Yuki wiped her tears away and looked at what Takeshi had given her.

"I can't believe... he was so ... so nice to me... after what I said to him a while ago..." Yuki mumbled to herself as she tried to squeeze some of the water out of her clothes, "I feel like a total jerk... and a cry baby..."

She sighed as she got the mop and the bucket sprawled on the floor.

"I shouldn't have cried... he saw me crying! How humiliating..." she said to herself as she started moping the wet floors, "I wish I didn't cry... I wish I didn't have that fight with Isumi... I feel so terrible..."

She then stopped and got Takeshi's handkerchief out from her pocket.

She looked at it and said, "I have to return this to the guy... I don't like to be reminded of myself crying in front of him- especially when I slipped on him- and-"

Yuki blushed as she shook her head furiously.

'Stop thinking about that!!! He's Isumi's- I don't care about him remember?!'

She sighed in annoyance, placing the handkerchief back in her pocket and started moping the wet floors once again.


After some time, Yuki brought back all the janitors supplies in the closet. Then, she made her way to her locker rather hastily.

Once she got to her locker, she quickly opened it and took out an extra pair of gym clothes.

'I need to change if I don't want to get sick... right?' she told herself, slamming her locker door shut.


After changing into her dry gym clothes, she made her way towards the auditorium. There in the auditorium, she saw someone singing while playing the guitar. She stood there, frozen to her sport as she heard him sing, "'Cuz you know I can't go on... Living without you... You know I truly love you..."

'My goodness... he's singing another love son?!' Yuki thought, quietly leaning on the auditorium door, 'He's good though... Isumi never said he was a good singer... maybe she didn't know...'

She quietly sat down on the nearest chair as he continued to sing...

"In all those times we've met...

You never said a word...

You kept ignoring me somehow...

And all those times I've tried...

To tell you how I feel...

You'd always shut your heart from me..."

'Man... this guy's so serious with his singing... he still hadn't noticed me...'

"Tell me what I've got to be...

Tell me what I have to do...

'Cuz I can't live my life...

The way I want it too...

'Cuz you know I can't go on...

Living without you...

You know I truly love you...

You know... I truly... love... you..."


He stopped singing and sighed. He took out a water bottle from under his chair. As he began drinking, he seemed to notice a figure that wasn't there before. He stopped drinking and stood up from his chair. He placed his water bottle back down under his chair, and then placed his guitar on his empty chair.

"Who's there?" he asked, scanning the dark auditorium.

"It's- It's me..." a soft voice from the shadows said as someone started up the stairs unto the lighted auditorium.

"Huh?! Janitor- I mean... Yuki?! What? What are you doing here?!" he asked in surprise, blushing furiously red.

"Um... I have detention... here..." Yuki replied, blushing as he tried not to meet his eyes, "What are you doing here anyway, Mr. Takamoto?"

Takeshi looked at her in surprise.

"Hmm? Why so formal all of a sudden?"

"Um... no reason at all... sir..." Yuki said softly as Takeshi sighed in annoyance.

"Hey- I've got a name you know- Call me Takeshi okay? Not Mr. Takamoto, not sir or whatever name you can think of..."

Yuki stood there silent for a while. Then, she suddenly burst out laughing. Takeshi looked at her in surprise, then laughed along with her.

When they both stopped laughing, Takeshi asked, "So... what's you detention thing about this time?"

"Um... just stacking up the instruments..." Yuki sighed as Takeshi blushed.

"Um... Oh well... I guess you won't need to worry about that anymore..."

"Hmm? Why?"

"I just stacked them all up a minute ago... I hate it when the place is all messed up- I couldn't concentrate on my work..." Takeshi replied, shrugging as he got his guitar.

Yuki looked at him then blushed.

Takeshi, noticing this, blushed as well and asked, "Um... Why? What's wrong?"

Um... nothing..." Yuki said, trying not to meet his eyes, "By the way... I liked your song..."

Takeshi suddenly looked at Yuki in surprise as he blushed furiously.

"Y-You heard- You heard every song?!"

"Um... not... um... just the last verse of that song you were singing a while ago... I think..." Yuki said, sitting down at the edge of the stage.

Takeshi blushed and furiously shook his head.

"Um... I see you got to change your wet clothes..." he mumbled, trying his very best not to blush.

Yuki widened her eyes in surprise as she quickly blushed.

"Uh... yeah... I had my extra gym clothes in my locker..." Yuki mumbled, not daring to look at Takeshi at all, "So... um..."

"Oh... um... anyway... I was wondering..." Takeshi said, setting his guitar back on his chair.

He slowly walked over to the edge of the stage and sat down next to Yuki.

"Um... so... Why were you laughing at me a while ago?"

Yuki looked at him in confusion, and then began giggling.

"Oh... that... um... sorry about that... I sort of remembered something..." Yuki said shyly as she turned to face the dark side of the auditorium, "Remember when I introduced myself?"

"Yeah... we were at the park..."

"Yeah... and do you remember what I said?"

"Um... I think you said... "Call me Yuki! Not janitor girl or whatever name you can think of!" Takeshi replied, trying to imitate Yuki's voice.

Yuki began laughing; Takeshi joined her.

"You seem really annoyed at me that time..." Takeshi said softly, swinging his legs at the edge of the stage.

"Really? I don't really remember what I was doing back then, sorry..." Yuki said in embarrassment.

"Hey...Um... I'm... I'm really sorry about a while ago... I didn't really mean what I said..." Takeshi said softly, "And I'm really sorry that you heard me singing... that song..."

"Huh? What're you talking about?! You're a great singer! Many people must've liked you because of your singing... no offence really..." Yuki protested as Takeshi blushed.

"Um... actually... you're the only one here who heard me sing..."

"Eh?! Why!?"

"I'm a basketball varsity... varsity players don't have music or art class... all I do during music is listen to the others play... It's really a drag not doing anything you know..." Takeshi explained, looking up at Yuki, "You know... you must really think I'm the weirdest guy around..."

"Uh...well... yeah... but... uh... not really..." Yuki mumbled, scratching her head in embarrassment, "Sometimes I think you act like a jerk... But not all the time... Other times... you're just plain nice... well... sort of..."

"Really?" Takeshi asked as Yuki slowly nodded, "Well... If I were to describe you..."

Takeshi stopped and looked out to the dark.

"If you were to describe me... what?" Yuki asked, looking at him curiously.

"Um... I think you're the most hot-tempered girl I know who always seems to be in detention..." he mumbled, not daring to face Yuki, "But you're also nice... 'Beautiful I mean...' Well... when you're not angry that is..."

Yuki chuckled slightly as Takeshi blushed.

"Well... I guess that's true... I always seem to get mad at someone these days..."

"Mostly at me I guess..." Takeshi mumbled.

"Yuki looked at him, then sighed saying, "Sorry about that... I really didn't mean to..."

"Nah... It's okay... we had a bad start..." Takeshi said softly, looking at the ground below him.

He blushed madly as he asked, "So...I was just wondering... if... um... you know... we can still... be friends?"

"Huh? Oh... um... sure... why not?" Yuki said, trying not to blush.

All of a sudden, her watched started beeping.

"Ack! Oh no! I need to get home! My brother's so gonna kill me!!!" Yuki exclaimed, jumping down from the stage.

"Hey- wait... maybe I can go with you... I need to get home too..." Takeshi said, heading for his guitar.

"Uh... 'Does he want to walk me home?!?!?! What's happening here?! Oh jeeze... I feel myself blushing again...' Uh... I guess you could..." Yuki said blushing furiously as Takeshi placed his guitar on one of the instrument shelves.

"Great! Let's go then..."


Takeshi and Yuki walked side- by- side in silence as they passed by the "Blue Mountain" Park.

'Damn... I need to say something... anything...' Yuki thought as she did a fake cough.

"Um... so... that reminds me...how is your brother?"

"Who? Shinta? He's okay... he just needs a bit of help with his math though..." Takeshi replied, "Usually, I'm the one who teaches him..."

"Really? Why?"

"Well... my parents are dead so..."

"Oh! I'm so sorry!!! I- I shouldn't have asked..."

"No... it's okay... I don't really mind..." Takeshi said, shrugging.

"You're brother and I seem so much a like though..." Yuki said, "We're both not good in math..."

"Really? You?" Takeshi asked in disbelief, "No way... I don't believe you..."

"Well believe it Mr. Genius! My brother tried looking for a Math Tutor for me, but he can't really seem to find one... I can't ask my mom and dad 'cause they're abroad..." Yuki said as she suddenly blushed, "Sorry I said that... I shouldn't have told you that... I'm so sorry... I'm so dumb..."

Takeshi just walked on silently, as if he was really deep in thought.

"Hey! HELLO?! Is there something wrong with you?!" Yuki asked, waving a hand over his face.

"Huh?! Wha- what? Oh! Uh... sorry, I was just thinking about something..." he said apologetically as he suddenly stopped walking.

"Now what?" Yuki asked as Takeshi suddenly grabbed her hand and started pulling her to another street, "Hey?! Where are you taking me?!"

"Shh..."

They went through several streets when, at last, they stopped.

"What's with you?! Why did you drag me around like that?!" Yuki asked in annoyance.

"Sorry... those damn girls were in front of my house again..." Takeshi said, sighing.

"What? Do you mean that big crowd a while ago in front of the flower shop?! 'He lives in a flower shop?!'"

"Um... yeah... right across that shop is my house..." he replied as they continued to walk down the street.

"Jeeze- I can't believe you can put up with that everyday..." Yuki said, looking around to see if anyone was watching them.

"Well... usually, I loathe girls because of what they try to do to me... but then..."

Takeshi suddenly stopped himself from talking.

"But then what?" Yuki asked curiously as Takeshi blushed.

"But then... But then..." he said, trying to look so nervous, "But then... but then- Then a BASKETBALL hit me on the head! Yeah! That's right!"

Yuki sweat dropped and fell anime style.

"A Basketball hit you on the head?!"

"Yeah! Uh... never mind..." he said, looking embarrassed as Yuki giggled softly.

Yuki stopped in front of a small white two-storey house followed by Takeshi.

Takeshi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Well... here's my place... small isn't it?" Yuki said, trying not to look embarrassed.

"No- it's huge!" Takeshi said as Yuki blushed.

"No it isn't... you're house is bigger! I can tell-" Yuki mumbled blushing red.

"Well... it's a nice house really- at least there are no girls crowding around it..." he said, sighing, "Well- I guess I better go..."

"Uh... yeah... um... Takeshi?"

"Uh... yeah?"

"Thanks a lot..." Yuki mumbled while blushing, opening the gates to her house.

"No problem... take care okay?" he said, blushing slightly.

"Yeah... sure... see you..."

"Yeah...Bye..." he said, slowly walking away.
