Chapter 9: Sunday knockout
It was a peaceful Sunday morning with birds chirping at the tree and.
"WAKE UP YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING LATE AGAIN!" let me rephrase what I said earlier. It was a normal Sunday morning at Rukawa's household. Ruriko's scream could be heard at the whole street.
"Honey, it's already 11:00 am and we have to go right now." The lady at the next door said.
"How did you know?"
"Ruriko." A large sweat drop appeared at his head. Now let's go back to Rukawa's room.
"You wouldn't want to wake up would you?" Ruriko was now burning in anger. She went out of his room stomping causing the house to shake. Minutes later, she went back with a pail of water and ice. She dumped all of it at Kaede causing him to shout.
"AHHHHHH! I WILL KILL YOU!"
"IN YOU'RE DREAMS!"
@@@Downstairs@@@
"Honey, Kaede is now awake." Akane said with a smile while dust is falling on them from the ceiling.
"Oh. that's great." Akira said sleepily. He was sitting at the sofa with his wife.
"Now I know where did Kaede got that habit of sleeping non-stop." All of a sudden, everything hushed up.
"Is it me or everything just became so.quiet?" Akane asked
"Let's go check it out." Akira said in a scared tone. 'Ruriko may have killed his brother or is it the other way around.' Akira thought with a dread as they approach the steps that leads to Kaede's room. When they were about to step the ladder they suddenly saw Ruriko at the top of the stairs. At first, she looked surprised her face turned white.
'Uh-oh, I'm dead.' Ruriko said to herself. "Otousan! Okaasan! Is it correct? My you're, looking great each day."
"Cut it out Ruriko." Akane warned. "Now what happened to Kaede?" Akane raised an eyebrow while looking at Ruriko.
'This is bad. The only good thing in here is that otousan haven't butt in yet.' Ruriko was now panicking because little did they know is that Kaede is lying unconscious at the wall behind the railway. 'I shouldn't have hit him in the face that hard but what can I do I started seeing red all of a sudden.'
"Ruriko, I'm asking you what happened to Kaede?" Akane was getting impatient now. Both of them took one step at the stairs.
"STOP!" Ruriko suddenly screamed. Both of them stop at Ruriko's sudden outburst.
'Ruriko think fast. Please somebody help Me.' all of a sudden Ruriko suddenly cry (in anime style). "Okaasan, Otousan.Wahhhh.its so horrible.WAHHHH!" Ruriko suddenly lounged at them.
"Honey what's wrong." Akane said while comforting Ruriko.
"Tell us what's wrong, maybe we can help." Akira said in a comforting voice.
"Kaede's.Kaede's toenail died." Ruriko said while wailing. 'Drat, what did I just said! Good thing I'm a great actress.' Both of Ruriko's parents sweat-dropped at what she said.
"His toenail?" Akira said in a confused way. 'Now why did my daughter would cry for a toenail?'
"Yes, his toenail. Both Kaede and I loved his toenail." Ruriko's face showed disgust when she said those words. Luckily, both of them couldn't saw it because they are busy on calming Ruriko. 'God, please send someone to help Me.' just in time, the doorbell rang. Lame one.
"I'll go get it." Akira said.
'Thank you God!' Ruriko said to herself.
"Now Ruriko don't feel so bad about it because.his toenail will grow back." Akane said while feeling weird about the advice she had given to Ruriko. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Suzume looking at her in a weird way. 'I think I should explain.'
"Hi Suzume!" all of a sudden she began to hug Suzume. "Explain later, act now." Ruriko whispered to Suzume.
"What's wrong Ruriko?" Suzume suddenly acted.
"It's horrible.sniff.Kaede's toenail died." Suzume sweat dropped at what did Ruriko said.
"Okay."
"Um. Suzume have you seen Akira?" Akane asked
"I saw him outside talking to somebody."
"Oh okay, I'll just go upstairs to check on Kaede." Ruriko suddenly blocked Akane's way.
"Wait.he's at his room grieving at his toenail. He said he wanted to be alone."
"Are you sure? Well, I'll just be in the kitchen fixing you guys some snack." With that, Akane left.
"Oh my.that was close." Ruriko collapsed at the floor.
"Okay Ruriko, explain." Suzume said while crossing her arms. Ruriko explained quickly to Suzume that she accidentally knocked Kaede.
"So that's what happened. They will kill me if they know that their baby is unconscious upstairs. Please help me." Ruriko showed her puppy eyes to Suzume.
"You owe me for this."
"Thanks! Now here's what you will do put Kaede at my room because it's much comfortable in there than his room while I distract okaasan and otousan and stay there."
"Okay."
"Thanks you're a life saver." Then Akane came in bringing two glasses of juice and sandwiches.
"Hey okaasan why don't we bake the blueberry cheese cake. I told Suzume how good you are at baking and she is dying to taste it."
"I did? I mean I do." Suzume said while plastering a fake smile.
"By the way okaasan, where is otousan?"
"Oh, he went somewhere."
"Great!" both Ruriko and Suzume said in unison.
"What we meant is too bad." Suzume suddenly said to Akane.
"Now why don't we bake some cake while Suzume here will go and wait at my room."
"But what will you do at Ruriko's room?" Akane asked confused at their strange behavior.
"I have some research that is needed to be finished." Suzume said. After that, Ruriko dragged her mother to the kitchen while Suzume went upstairs to drag Kaede to Ruriko's room. Once she has gotten upstairs, she saw Kaede slumped on the railway of the stairs. Suzume began to carry Kaede to Ruriko's room, his arm is at her shoulder and her hand is at his waist to support him.
'Boy, Kaede is sure heavy and.smells great. I know he hasn't taken a bath yet but he did it at nighttime so he smells great.' She blushed when she thought of that. 'Wait what am I thinking! Well, it's the truth I like his smell better than Alex. He smells like an ocean breeze while Alex smells like a girl's perfume and cigarette. Weird, isn't it but he said it's because he always spend time with his aunt and uncle so that's why. Isn't she stupid? Suzume took one step by step to Ruriko's room slowly because Kaede is very heavy. Suddenly she trips and falls flat on her back with Kaede on top of her still unconscious. A deep blush crept on her face when she noticed that Kaede's lips are pressed on hers.
@@@Suzume POV@@@
I felt the world stop around me. I can't believe it I kissed my best friend! For very first time in my life, I felt numb, unable to move, paralyzed. Somehow, I manage to get my senses back. I push him away from me careful not to wake him up. I began to drag him again to Ruriko's room again this time very slowly so that wouldn't happen again. I put him on Suzume's bed. Minutes seemed like hours for me as I sit here in Ruriko's study table. Somehow, my gaze seems to travel around and it landed at Kaede's sleeping form. I know I'm not making any sense in here at all but can you blame me I got a headache today. He looks so kawaii when he sleeps. Wait! Suzume you got a boyfriend already who loves you. Kaede is just your best friend nothing more nothing less.
Yeah keep saying that and the fairies will come out to scare the hell out of you.
Who are you?
I'm cupid. She said sarcastically. Duh, I'm you except is that I'm much cuter and smarter than you are.
Where did you come from? I said in an annoyed way
Dunno.
I thought you are smart.
Shut up! You know it's obvious you like him.
Nice rebound. Yeah, I like him as a friend.
Are you sure?
What does that mean?
.
Hey, are you still there?
.
Guess she went away.
@@@NORMAL POV@@@
Moments later somebody knocked at the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's Ruriko." Suzume went to open the door relived.
"Good thing it's just you I thought it was somebody else.
"So I see sleeping beauty is still unconscious. Hey Suzume, why don't you kiss Kaede so he would wake up." Ruriko said smirking. Suzume turn 20 shades of red because she remembered what happened a while ago.
"I.I" Suzume said still turning red.
"I'm just joking."
"That is not a good joke." Suzume turned away to look at Ruriko's collection of angel figurines. Then something caught her eye.
"Hey, I never noticed this before." Suzume picked a picture frame of her and a hunk. They were so close to each other with broad smile on their faces. "Who is this hunk?" Suzume asked admiringly the guy's look. He has a messy auburn hair and blue-green eyes. He wore a black three-fourths and slacks, which made him cuter. Ruriko on the other hand wore a blue tank top with black slacks. "He's my.best friend, Joey Smith. We took that one before he went to America." The laughter in Ruriko's eyes is changed to sadness and love. Shessh! Suzume studied Ruriko and Joey's face for a second then she realized something.
"You love him don't you?" Ruriko was shocked at Suzume's statement.
'Oh my, I thought I got over him already so that's why I put that picture at my desk, but why does when somebody mentions his name I wanted to cry. I thought I don't love him anymore but I was wrong.' Ruriko couldn't speak at that time because if she does tears would escape her eyes. Good thing Kaede is awake to see the whole Joey scene. Suzume on the other hand notice that asking that question is the biggest mistake she had ever done. She noticed tears are forming in Ruriko's eyes.
"Ruriko I'm so sorry." Suzume said. 'I'm so stupid.'
"Didn't we have a duel today?" Kaede suddenly said.
"You're awake!" Ruriko and Suzume said together. However, Suzume couldn't look at him in the eye.
"Duh." Kaede said sarcastically. "Now you wait for me downstairs so we can go."
"To where?" Suzume asked and looked at him.
"One-on-one."
"Oh yeah, but." Suzume looked at Ruriko because she wants to stay with her.
"Hey there's nothing wrong with me. I am very fine. Why don't we go downstairs to check those cookies okaasan baked for us?" Ruriko said with her crazy self again.
"Are you sure?' Suzume asked still worried.
"100% sure and we have to go right now so that Kaede can try my new make-up kit."
"Shut up, onee-san!" Suzume went out first but Ruriko and Kaede stayed behind.
"Thanks for the cover."
"."
"I really owe you one."
"Don't wake me up tomorrow."
"Okay fine." Then Ruriko joined Suzume downstairs.
Moments later, Kaede went downstairs wearing his usual training clothes looking very tired (you know the blue shirt and white short) while Suzume and Ruriko are busy munching the cookies.
"These are great Ruriko, you should teach me how to do this so that I can bake it for Grandma. I'm sure she'll love these."
"I would love to but it seems that your date is here." Ruriko said while smirking at Kaede who is just behind Suzume.
"Shut up do'." he didn't get to finish what he would say when he saw Ruriko burning in anger.
"Say that word again and you'll never see daylight again." A large sweat- drop appeared at Suzume and Kaede's head.
"Come on Kaede, let's not waste any time. I am excited to beat you to pulp."
"You wish."
"Oh yeah, we'll the last one who will get to the court is a LOSER!" before he knew it Suzume was running outside.
"Cheater." Kaede ran after her because he hated being called a loser.
@@@MOMENTS LATER AT THE COURT@@@
"YOU CHEATED!"
"You were just slow."
"NO! YOU PUT THAT CHOCOLATE BAR AT THE FRONT OF THE DOOR TO WIN!"
"What are you talking about?" Suzume said innocently.
"It couldn't be dad because he already left and only you, Ruriko and mom know what makes me go crazy."
"Okay.I did it. Boy, I should have a camera." Suzume said while laughing.
"Just you wait till I beat you on our one-on-one." Kaede said with a smirk.
"Oh really." Suzume also smirked.
"Well let's get started then."
"Sure." Before they were about to start, Mitsui and Kogure came to them.
"Hey, what are you doing in here?" Mitsui smirked at them.
"What's up?"
'What the?' Kaede said to himself. Then Ryota and Ayako came too.
"Whoa!" Ryota said.
"Hi guys." Ayako said giving Kaede a smirk. Then Sakuragi and his army came.
"Hey fox face!" then he saw Suzume, "Did you bring any lunch?"
"If I knew you were coming I would bring one."
"Shucks, I knew we shouldn't have." but Yohei clamped Sakuragi's mouth shut.
'I knew it! They are up to something.' Kaede said. Everyone except Suzume glared at Sakuragi.
'Damn him he'll blow our cover.' Everyone said.
"Say it." Kaede said threateningly.
'Huh? What is he talking about? Is there something I don't know?' Suzume asked herself.
"I said we shouldn't have forgotten to bring our lunch, Fox-face." Sakuragi said.
'Good thing I'm smart.' Yohei sighed but Rukawa still eyed them suspiciously. Then Akagi and Haruko came.
"Wow, the whole team is here. What a coincidence?" Haruko said
"I shouldn't have agreed to their plan." Akagi mumbled quietly then he felt Rukawa eying him suspiciously. "I should have stayed home and study but Haruko here wants to play basketball." Akagi said.
"Same here, we went in here to play basketball." Ryota said.
"With Ayako?" Suzume said to Ryota. 'But Aya-chan doesn't play basketball.'
'Try to answer that one.' Rukawa said hoping to bust them.
"I went with him to give him support." Ayako said casually.
'Drat.' Rukawa cursed.
"I asked Kogure last night to practice with me for the coming game with Kainan." Mitsui said.
"We are really nervous because this will be the second time we will face again."
"Oh my, I will see that monkey face and mole man again." Sakuragi whined.
"Sakuragi, what brings you here with your friends." Suzume once again asked.
"I just came here for a warm up and these people came with me to watch how a Tensai-man play."
"We just came with him to see how he klutz up." The fat guy said. I don't know his name. I only know Yohei because he's one of the hottie in SD.
"SHUT UP!" Sakuragi began to beat the fat guy up.
"Hey, I have an idea. Since Kaede and I are going to have a one-on-one why don't you guy play with us." Suzume said happily.
'Great, this is what I need.' Rukawa groaned inwardly.
"Sure." All of them said while Akagi remained silent.
"The losing team will treat today's lunch." Suzume said with a smirk.
AUTHORS NOTES:
Only few people review this story. I'm sooo sorry this took so long. It's because my mom kinda ground me and I have to fix my application for college. Sheesh, it is such a busy day.

Ruriko: Don't worry everything will be all right. Now why don't you just let me do the next chapter?
Me: Over my dead body. OMG! I'm getting sappy here. Oh yeah: I NEED THE NAMES OF THE KAINAN PLAYERS! ONEGAI! R&R. PLS. SEND MORE COMMENTS AND SUGESTIONS. Hey, where is everyone.

'Good thing I'm smart.' Yohei sighed but Rukawa still eyed them suspiciously. Then Akagi and Haruko came.
"Wow, the whole team is here. What a coincidence?" Haruko said
"I shouldn't have agreed to their plan." Akagi mumbled quietly then he felt Rukawa eying him suspiciously. "I should have stayed home and study but Haruko here wants to play basketball." Akagi said.
"Same here, we went in here to play basketball." Ryota said.
"With Ayako?" Suzume said to Ryota. 'But Aya-chan doesn't play basketball.'
'Try to answer that one.' Rukawa said hoping to bust them.
"I went with him to give him support." Ayako said casually.
'Drat.' Rukawa cursed.
"I asked Kogure last night to practice with me for the coming game with Kainan." Mitsui said.
"We are really nervous because this will be the second time we will face again."
"Oh my, I will see that monkey face and mole man again." Sakuragi whined.
"Sakuragi, what brings you here with your friends." Suzume once again asked.
"I just came here for a warm up and these people came with me to watch how a Tensai-man play."
"We just came with him to see how he klutz up." The fat guy said. I don't know his name. I only know Yohei because he's one of the hottie in SD.
"SHUT UP!" Sakuragi began to beat the fat guy up.
"Hey, I have an idea. Since Kaede and I are going to have a one-on-one why don't you guy play with us." Suzume said happily.
'Great, this is what I need.' Rukawa groaned inwardly.
"Sure." All of them said while Akagi remained silent.
"The losing team will treat today's lunch." Suzume said with a smirk.
AUTHORS NOTES:
Only few people review this story. I'm sooo sorry this took so long. It's because my mom kinda ground me and I have to fix my application for college. Sheesh, it is such a busy day. There's only one thing that bothers me is that the story I'm making is turning into a reality. It seems to me that the Kaede Rukawa of my life is already arrived but he came too late.
Ruriko: Don't worry everything will be all right. Now why don't you just let me do the next chapter?
Me: Over my dead body. OMG! I'm getting sappy here. Oh yeah: I NEED THE NAMES OF THE KAINAN PLAYERS! ONEGAI! R&R. PLS. SEND MORE COMMENTS AND SUGESTIONS. Hey, where is everyone.
Ruriko: They went out for a while.
Me: Okay.

J1018 - What's OOC? Is it being overly romantic? People do crazy things and act different when they are in-love right? About more POV, thanks for suggesting it I really don't know what to do for this chappie.
