Geranium
part 2

The five teens walked out of the Koneko no Sumu le.

"So," Minako spoke breaking the silence, "He's saying that
Rei is stupid?"

Rei snapped out of her thoughts and glared at Minako. Minako
hid behind Ami and Usagi. 'Minako may be right,' Rei thought,
looking back at the geranium, with disappointment, 'Is he saying that
he's not deeply in love with me anymore, and that I'm a stupid,
stubborn, and bitchy woman?'

"Rei-chan," Usagi spoke, putting her hand on Rei's shoulder,
for comfort, "Don't worry we'll find out who this guy is and
Mako-chan will beat him up for you!"

Rei looked up to see Usagi smiling, in her attempt to cheer Rei
up, "Thanks Odango-atama."

Usagi frowned, "I'm surprised you still remembered that stupid
nickname, Rei-chan."

Sensing an annoying bickering coming in, "Woah! You guys we
need to find out why Rei's admirer sent her a geranium!"
Makoto said, stepping in between the two, "Maybe
it could mean something else!"

"Like what?" Rei asked, "He sees me as stupid. I bet he's
somewhere in the distance laughing at me."

"Maybe he could be warning you," said a voice. Surprised
by the voice, the five teens turned around to see Hotohori
smiling innocently, holding plastic bags filled with random
stuff, like toilet paper. It was obvious that he was finished
shopping, "He could be telling you, that you
could make a stupid careless mistake you'll regret."

Rei grinned slightly, 'Could he really mean that?' ,Rei
glanced over at the geranium once again. Her smile grew
bigger as she looked at the flower, 'I'll find out who my
admirer is, although, I think I know who it is.' Rei thought,
looking over to Hotohori, who was chatting with Minako and
Makoto.

"Are you really Rei's admirer?" Minako asked, teasingly.

Hotohori smiled and shrugged his shoulder, "Maybe," he
winked, "Maybe not."

"Minako!" Makoto cried, she grabbed Minako, "Don't
ask him directly!", Makoto whispered to Minako's ear,
"You have to ask hints! So we have proof it's him!"

"Hints?" Minako asked, to her it was a foreign word.

Makoto slapped her forehead, she felt her left eye twitching.

"Nee, Hotohori!" Rei said getting his attention, "I still owe
you a date don't I?" Hotohori blushed for a bit and nodded.

"A date? I thought you said we were just hanging out?" Hotohori
said, Rei blushed in embarrasment. It was true, Rei did say that
it wasn't a date, "Do you really want to go out with me Rei?"

"A date would be nice Hotohori," Rei smiled, male passerbys
blushed and drooled at her smile. It was really rare to Rei
smile beautifully out on public.

"Well then," Hotohori said, "Shall we go?"

"Lets," Rei giggled, which was also rare, she only giggles
to two people, the two people who is very close to her,
they are Kaidou-san and Tasuki.

Watching the couple walk away. Minako sighed
romantically, "Isn't it romantic? They look so good together!"

Suddenly, Makoto's watch beeped. She blushed embarrasingly
and turned off the alarm, "I'm sorry! I'm going to be late for
Martial Arts class!" Makoto said, "You guys have fun without
me for a while!"

Ami, Minako and Usagi waved Makoto goodbye. It seems
that everyone is disappearing for a little while. 'Godammit'
Makoto thought, looking at her watch, it was 2: 24, and class
started at 2:30. The dojo was 10 blocks away, there was no
way she's going to make it there on time, "I'm becoming more
like Usagi nowadays." Makoto mused.

"Makoto?" A voice asked, it sounded a bit feminine. But it
certainly was male, "Makoto is that you?"

Makoto turned to see a man with long purple hair beautifully
braided, amber-like eyes makes it look golden, sharp, almost
feminine eyes, and a mole right below his right eye.
"Ryuuen-sensei," Makoto breathed, Makoto fainted on
Ryuuen Chou or Nuriko.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

"Makoto are you awake?"

"I'm gonna miss class!" Makoto said, realizing that she's
not on the streets but on Ryuuen's home, "Wha--? What
happened?"

"You fainted," Ryuuen said, pouring tea, "My guess is that
you ran too fast wasting your stamina and fainted from
exhaustion."

Makoto blinked, "Ryuuen-sensei, we're going to be late for
class!" Ryuuen grabbed Makoto on the wrist, halting her to
go out on the streets, "Sensei! What are you doing? Everyone
is going to wait for us!"

"Makoto what are you doing? it's only 1:45," Ryuuen said,
sipping his tea, "We still have 45 minutes left before class starts."

"WHAT?" exclaimed Makoto she was very surprised.

"Don't tell me you forgot about Daylight Savings Time?" Ryuuen
grinned, he loved to see Makoto's surprised face, Hell, any face.
Makoto Kino is Ryuuen's prized student, she is very dedicated
to Martial Arts. He liked seeing her like this, it makes her look
even cuter, "I cannot accept an absentminded student." he joked.

Not getting the sarcasm, Makoto bowed repeatedly, "I'm so sorry,
Sensei! I have a part time job at the bakery trying to pay for the
bills and---"

"I was just kidding, Makoto," laughed Ryuuen, Makoto blushed
in shame,"Let's have a little spar." he said, he wanted to see how
good Makoto is.

"Sensei..." Makoto said, she's very surprised.

"If you win, I'll teach you a technique, it'll make you ahead in
class," Ryuuen said, he looked at Makoto seriously, "If I win...
Well, I'll think of something."

Makoto blushed, "I--I accept, Sensei." She went into fighting
pose.

"Don't hold back," He grinned, Makoto charged blindly at her
sensei. She punched and Ryuuen grabbed her hand, "Makoto, I
know you're better than that."

Makoto frowned, she moved back and went back into her
fighting pose, "Sensei, I have a question," Makoto said, giving
him a high kick, Ryuuen easily dodged it., "What are you going
to do with me once you win?"

Ryuuen blocked her punches, "Like I said, I'll think of something,"
Makoto leaned on clear window glass, to rest just abit, "Makoto!
Watch out!"

The window couldn't handle Makoto's weight, broke. Makoto
who was leaning on the window, was about to fall down on a
four-storied- apartment. Ryuuen quickly grabbed Makoto before
she could fall down to her death. Makoto held on to Ryuuen tightly,
afraid to let go. Ryuuen on the other hand, was enjoying Makoto's
hug. He held her tightly, his chin on her head.

"Sensei," Makoto whispered, "Thank you."

"Don't call me sensei," Ryuuen whispered, a bit disappointed that
Makoto called him sensei, he wants her to say his name, "Just call
me Ryuuen."

"Rei," Tasuki said, he was carrying Rei's favorite flowers
Casablanca lillies, he is practicing how to tell Rei something
important, Right now he is practicing in a mirror "There is
something I have to tell you."

"Nah," Tasuki said to himself, he slicked back his hair, "Rei.
Babe. I have to tell ya something important." he winked
and clicked his tongue at the end.

Tasuki froze. He looked ridiculous doing that pose, Tasuki
ruffled his hair back to normal and began to speak once again,
"Rei, Listen to me," He looked at the mirror with a serious
expression on his face, "I have to tell you something important."

"Excuse me sir, when are you going to leave?" a store clerk asked,
he was getting irritated at Tasuki for repeating the same words over
and over again, Tasuki is in a furniture shop in the mirror section,
"You've been here for an hour already, are you going to buy
something or not?"

Tasuki shook his head, the store clerk twitched his eyes, "Well
sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave," he said, "Your annoying
the customers."

"Annoying the customers?" Tasuki said, "How the hell am I
annoying the customers?" Tasuki was getting mad, all he was
doing was preparing to tell Rei something.

"Security!" the store clerk screamed, big tough men came out
of nowhere, stood next to the store clerk, "Please show him,"
the store clerk pointed to Tasuki who was busy practicing on
the mirror, "The way out, You may use force if it's necessary."

"Yes boss!" The security guards said, saluting the store clerk.

The Security gaurds grabbed Tasuki by the neck and tossed him
out like trash. "Oi! Gimme the Casablanca Lillies!" Tasuki shouted,
he rubbed his bottom to soothe the pain. The same Security gaurd
tossed the beautiful delicate flowers forcefully at Tasuki. Tasuki glared
the store and checked the flower. 'Nothing's damaged,' Tasuki
thought, examining the flower, 'Now I just gotta tell Rei...'

He quickly ran to Rei's temple. He was able to get there in twenty
minutes, because Tasuki is the star player at the Track team. And it
was just a couple blocks away. 'Rei I have to tell you...Before it's too
late.' Tasuki thought, he was breathing heavily and was sweating.

Tasuki froze at what he saw. He saw Rei and Hotohori kissing.
Tasuki dropped the Casablanca Lillies. 'She's not even resisting...'
He thought watching the scene in front of him. He wanted to call out
her name and ask what is going on. 'I thought she doesn't like him
like that...Goddammit.'

Tasuki stood still, he could feel his heart break in two.

It started to rain, the Casablanca lillies begun to wither away.
