Chapter 2: unexpected visit

After school the next day, Shana ran straight to Sakai's house because she and Sakai's mother, known as Chigusa (her name), had agreed that she would wear a yukata (special clothing that looks like a colourful robe with decorations on it that you wear to festival occasions) and surprise Sakai by showing off how beautiful she would look…according to Chigusa, obviously unaware of Sakai's date with Yoshida. So she ran past all the students and out the front gate.

While Shana was sprinting to Sakai's house, Sakai had to stay in the class after school to clean up the class with Yoshida.

"Oh Yoshida-san, about tonight, is five o'clock at the bridge okay?" Sakai asked.

"Yes, its okay." Yoshida replied.

"Okay, meet you there." Sakai said as he and Yoshida finished cleaning up the class room.

Back at Sakai's house, Shana has finished putting on the yukata with the help of Chigusa, Sakai's mother.

"Just as I thought! This design pattern looks good on you." Chigusa commented on Shana. She was wearing a red yukata with pink flowers on it. Her hair was scrunched up and she looked somewhat particularly prettier then normal. "Yu-chan will really be surprised when he comes home and sees how beautiful you are."

Shana turned around and smiled, and at that right moment Sakai entered the door.

"I'm home!" cried Sakai in a loud voice as he walked in the living room, where his mom was.

"Welcome home" said his mom as she pushes Shana in front of her as if to display her in front of Sakai.

"Whoa……is that….Shana?" Sakai asked very surprised. His mouth was litterly open from the sight he sees in front of him. "Shana…you look different…"

"Is that a good different or bad different?" Shana asked angrily.

"Well…..for one thing…you look…" Sakai began too say but decided not too.

"What do I look like?" Shana asked curiously.

"You look…..beautiful" Sakai muttered quietly while blushing slightly, but loud enough so Shana and his mom can hear.

"Aww that a nice thing too say Yu-chan." Chigusa commented.

But Shana did not agree with his mom. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" she screamed at Sakai, her cheeks going red. "How about-…" She wanted to yell something at him but couldn't find the right words to do it. So instead, she ran upstairs to Sakai's room.

"Hey wait-…" Sakai started to say, but she was already gone. "Dang…how am I going to change for the festival in there if she is in my room…?"

So Sakai ran upstairs to his room, only too see that his door was locked…from the inside! ...wait…is that even possible? So he grabbed a pin, bended it too the right size to fit the lock, and started to pick his OWN lock. After about what seemed to be eternity, he finally heard a "click" noise which signaled that his door was unlocked. "Finally" he muttered to himself.

"Oh Yu-chan, I saw your door locked and you trying to get in so I brought you our spare door key, but I see you already got it opened." His mom said in a somewhat disappointed voice.

"We had a spare key…?" said Sakai in a "What the hell?" kind of tone.

"Yeah I told you yesterday remember?" replied his mom.

"Oh yeah…..anyways I gotta change for the festival, it's almost 5." Said Yuji as he entered his room only too find his window open and Shana not in the room. 'I guess Shana decided to go on the roof for some fresh air' he thought to himself as he closed to door.

"I wonder what I should wear" he said to himself as he opened his closet door with a piece of paper stuck to it labeled "Nice cloths". "Maybe I should ask Shana" he said too himself again as he walked to his open glass window. "Shana, could you come down here? I have to ask you something!" he yelled at his top of his lungs.

"What do you want?" cried a voice, definitely Shana's. She climbed down the roof and into Sakai's roof.

"Hey can you see which one of these would look good on me" he said as he pointed in his closet.

"You know there is only one piece of clothing in there?" said a deep voice that came from Shana's glowing red pendant that hangs from her neck. It was Alator; a…a…thing (what's is it called again? Also known as "Flame of Heaven")…that gave Shana her fire power when she is doing her job as a "Flame Haze" (you remember what a Flame Haze is right….you do? Good)

The clothing that was in there was dark blue all over. It was like a yukata that the girls wore…but in a boy form that they where to festivals(once again don't know the name).

"Oh yeah you're right……" Said Sakai while he was taking off his shoes. "I'm changing now so leave please."

"Yeah ok...i'll leave because I don't want too see your hairy chest." Said Shana in a serious voice.

"W-what?..I don't have a hairy chest!" said Sakai in an equally serious voice.

"Whatever" was all Shana said as she started to climb out the window.

"Wait Shana. Just one more question, do you Yoshida would like this colour? Cause as you know im going with her to the festival. You know right?" Sakai said as he started to examine the boy-yukata.

"W-what you are?" said a surprised looking Shana. No she didn't know. Nobody told her. Why haven't anybody told her? And all this time she was thinking of having an extremely fun time with Sakai for once.

"What? Nobody told you? I thought Ike-kun did. Oh well…you don't mind do you? You weren't planning to go with me right?" asked Sakai seeing the surprised look on her face.

Actually she did mind. She felt like scolding Sakai because he didn't tell her earlier, but changed her mind, along with her facial expression right away, from "What the hell!" expression to "No problem!" expression. "No, it's okay. I don't mind one bit" forcing a smile on her face which proved extremely so her smile looked like a smile and a frown at the same time. Their eyes met with each other as Sakai tried to tell what she was thinking.

After what felt like hours looking at each other, Sakai finally broke out of the trance and started a conversation. "Oh it's almost five. I promised Yoshida-san I would meet her on the bridge at five o'clock sharp. Are you sure you are okay? You look depressed." Asked a worried Sakai.

"Yeah I'm okay, just a little tired." Shana lied.

"Yeah, okay" said Sakai, worried about Shana. "You're still going to the festival right? If you are go buy a candy apple. I used to always buy them when I was little. They are good."

"Yeah alright" Shana replied in a sorrowful tone as Sakai left the room and out the door. "Ugh…" Shana groaned.

"Is something wrong?" asked Alastor.

"Well…it's just that…never mind. It's nothing too worry about. As she lied on Sakai's bed sleepily. "I think I will take nap" said Shana too Alastor. 'Hopefully, when I wake up from this nightmare, me and Sakai will go together too the festival' she thought as she closed her ruby coloured eyes and fell into a deep sleep, hoping that what Sakai had said was all a bad dream.

After what seemed like hours of sleep, Shana woke up from hearing the sound of her name. "Shana! Wake up! Ike-kun is here too see you!" cried Chigusa.

"Ughhh…." Replied a Shana confused. "Wazgoingon…" groaned Shana, as she got up from the white cotton pillow she was resting her head on. She looked at the clock. 5:06. She have only been asleep for a few miutes.

"Shana Ike-kun has come to see you. Wake up!" repeated Chigusa as she forcefully yanked her arm painfully upwards. "I'll leave you two alone too talk. Have fun" she said before silently closing the wooden door trapping Shana and Ike inside the room together. Ike was the first too speak.

"Um…Yukari…I understand you don't have anybody to go to the festival with right?" asked Ike, slightly blushing. "So…I was wondering…would you like to go wiiht me?" The words hit Shana hard. "Eh…?" She thought she was still sleeping. Her eyed widened as they met Ike's own eyes. What was she going too say? She was speechless.

"Yeah okay Ike-kun…I have nothing else to do anyways" decided Shana.

"Great! Lets get going, the festival started already." Said Ike cheerfully.

So without anytime wasted, they walked out of Sakai's room and out the fromt door together. They were going to have a lot of fun together. No doubt about it.Even without Sakai.
