Chapter Three- Switch of Love

That very day and night for Shin was just simply…right. He can't take his hands off Yukie's cellphone. He keep on touching it, looking at the small sticker picture of her at the side of the phone and keep on smiling and blushing.

On the other side, Yukie was restless. It is already 1:00 am but still she was awake. She kept on moving each side of her bed, even tried to count lambs, though it was for fun, giggles of her fill the room. She finally stood up to check if Kumiko was already asleep, maybe they can spare a few chat to make her sleepy. No, Kumiko was heavily asleep, blanket's crumpled and lying on the floor. She moaned when she heard a disturbance due to Yukie's door opening. Yukie sometimes even wonder if she's really the younger sister or what. She knows Kumiko can be very childish. She can still remember all the crazy stuff they have done, stuff Yukie can't imagine she will be doing.

"Good night, Kumiko." Whispered Yukie.

She closed the door and went back to her room. Instead of lying to her bed, she decided to open the window, may be a bit of sightseeing will do her good. Maybe not sightseeing, ofcourse considering there is nothing to look at. She looked intently at the sky, stars that twinkle and sparkle.

"I just hope this is really my true love…"

--

Shin was also restless. Maybe…Maybe a bit stargazing won't bite.

If only you could hear me shout your name…

If only you could feel my love again…

The stars..in the sky will never be the same…

If only I had wings so I can fly…

I wanna be with you for all the time…

My love…for you will never die…

"Ohayo!"

"Ohayo, Ojou."

"Where's Yukie?" asked Kumiko to Minoru.

"Uhmm, in bed?" replied Minoru.

Morning was peaceful. Kumiko did have a very nice sleep.

(A/N I decided not to include the time Yankumi applied for a job in Shirokin this coming school year. I just want to jump to the highlight of the chapter. Hope the Shinkumi fans won't get mad!)

A sudden ring from a phone started to spread to the silent morning of the Oedo clan.

Yankumi answered it, "Hello?"

"Yes…Yes…this is Yamaguchi Kumiko."

"You do?" asked Kumiko excitedly.

"I will… I will be better, I promise! I can handle those brats…"

"I mean those angelic boys of Shirokin. What a blessing!" said Kumiko in a hurry to let the speaker forgot about her Yakuza talkings.

It will be better to let my family background a secret, thought Kumiko.

"You will expect me to be there…yes… next month? Precisely…Thanks…"

Tetsu and Minoru were puzzled with Kumiko. Kumiko turned around and can't help the joy.

"I'm going to be a Teacher!" said the jumping Kumiko.

The yawning Yukie appeared and said, "You will?"

"Yukie!"

"I can't believe it! I mean...this is your dream, right? And…and...your actually gonna do it?" said Yukie excitedly, as if she's the one that's got called to have a job.

"Yes! Yes!" said Kumiko hugging Yukie.

Kumiko did a very funny position.

Yukie was very happy with Kumiko. Knowing her for only even five years, she knows she wants this so badly. Their grandfather even considers Yukie the next heiress of the Oedo clan if ever Kumiko will follow her dreams. Yukie just grin at the idea.

They let go of each other.

"I will do my best!" said Kumiko raising her fist in the air.

"Kumiko is the best teacher!" said Yukie copying the funny position Kumiko was doing.

Laughters started to fill the dining area, even their grandfather was amazed.

Yukie suddenly said, "So, where are you teaching, then?"

"Shirokin Gakuin." Said Kumiko simply.

--

Shin can't help walking back and forth, holding Yukie's cellphone on his right hand. The lateness of Yukie really made him nervous, though a mix of excitement was felt. The park on the other side of Japan was really peaceful, flowers blooming, the birds are chirping and cold breeze was passing each time Shin takes a step.

Finally, Yukie have arrived.

Yukie stared at the boy as he turned around to face her. It does stopped her world. Those looks, those mesmerizing eyes…

"Yu..Yukie…"

"Shin"

"How are you?" asked Shin can't help looking at her.

"Here's…Here's your phone." Said Yukie quickly.

They switched their cellphones. Yukie was close to turning around when Shin quickly asked her…

"Do you…do you mind strolling the park with me?" said Shin, knowing that it can be his last chance seeing Yukie.

"Huh?"

"..I mean if you…if you don't have things to do, you kn--."

"..Sure, let's stroll together."

Shin smiled to Yukie. She can feel her cheeks started to redden.

"Let's go then!"
