Disclaimer: I own this whole story and I created everything in it. So please, no copying. Thank you!
"Gee… was I stood up? He hasn't come yet… he must be really mad at me…" sighed Yori as she clutched her knees.
"Hey you! Don't you know that you're not supposed to be out at these late hours at your age?" shouted a male voice.
"Umm uh… I'm sorry officer! I-I'm just waiting for my pick-up! Please just let me wait a little longer!" protested Yori.
"Got you. You are gullible Yori. I have to admit that you are probably the most gullible person in Japan." Chuckled the male voice but now softer.
" Excuse me officer but why are you chuckling and how do you know my name? Not to be rude of course." Asked Yori curiously.
"You are the silliest most gullible person ever Yori. It's me, Kiyoshi! Sorry it took so long. The rain blocked off my shortcut so I had to take the long way." Smiled Kiyoshi.
"Oh no! You're all wet! As a matter of fact you are soaked to death! Oh no this is my fault! I'm so sorry to make you come all the way out here!" apologized Yori.
"Nah it's okay. But you should talk for yourself. You're soaked to the bone and I can see your bra under your shirt." Exclaimed Kiyoshi.
"Kiyoshi! Let's just get a move on. Please?" stated Yori.
"Fine. Hand me your heaviest bag." Said Kiyoshi as they started their way back home.
-On the way-
"… So is it truly over between you and Jess?" asked Kiyoshi.
"… Umm Kiyoshi I-I… I don't really want to talk about Jess right now." Said Yori quietly.
"Okay." Replied Kiyoshi disappointed.
-Aunt Kura's-
"Hey mom! Wake up and get up off the floor. Yori's back." Shouted Kiyoshi.
"Y-Yori? I-Is that you? Oh Yori dear I missed you so much!" squealed Aunt Kura.
"M-Me too." Chuckled Yori.
"Well don't be shy dear, make yourself right back at home. You're room is still yours so you don't have to worry about that! Well come on Kiyoshi! Help this poor dear with her luggage! Be a gentlemen!" laughed Aunt Kura drunk.
"I wouldn't be talking…" said Kiyoshi annoyed. He hated it when his mother drank. He could never get through to her and she could never get through to her senses. He hated it.
"I'm sorry what did you –hiccup- say something Kiyoshi dear?" asked Aunt Kura.
"Never mind mom, it was nothing." Replied Kiyoshi as he helped pull Yori's luggage up the staircase.
-Yori's bedroom-
"There, that should be fine. Thank you so much Kiyoshi!" smiled Yori.
"Sure thing…" replied Kiyoshi.
"K-Kiyoshi wait! I-I know I probably crushed your heart when you told me that you… you l-loved me…a-and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry! I'm sorry Kiyoshi!" shouted Yori. Kiyoshi stopped in his tracks and turned around.
"Forget it, just forget I ever said anything and stop apologizing. Don't worry yourself with that and just move on. I've accepted your answer… and you're happy. Let's just keep it at that." Replied Kiyoshi.
"B-But-
"Yori, please. I…I really don't want to talk about it… let's just pretend it never happened and now we only have a friend-cousin relationship okay? Goodnight Yori, sleep tight." Said Kiyoshi as he closed the door behind him.
"B-But…" sighed Yori. "……I'm sorry…-cries-I'm s-s-o-r-r-y…"
-The next day at APETW-
"-Yawn- Damn… I couldn't get any sleep last night and it was all because Yori brought up that little incident I had with Jess…Now I can't concentrate in class…-yawn" said Kiyoshi as he walked clumsily to class, almost hitting a wall.
"Woah! Kiyoshi watch out!" shouted a voice.
" What- huh? Woah…what happened?" asked Kiyoshi as he scratched his head.
"Hey are you okay Kiyoshi? You look sick…" said the same voice as it reached its hand out and touched his forehead.
"Yeah…yeah I'm fine. Oh hey Tanna! Thanks for warning me." Smiled Kiyoshi.
"Sure thing. Say umm… Kiyoshi? I have something important to ask you. Can you talk to me at lunch?" asked Tanna.
"Sure." Replied Kiyoshi.
"Cool, see you at lunch!" smiled Tanna as she ran to her next class.
-In Yori's view-
"I-I don't feel well at all…sigh I couldn't sleep last night… I was up all night thinking about what Kiyoshi said. –sighs- Woah… what's this feeling? I-I feel d-dizzy… s-somebody help me…K-Kiyoshi! Kiyoshi…Kiyoshi……" thought Yori as her eyes slowly closed and she was shrouded in blackness.
-Lunch-
"Tanna! Hey! So, what did you want to tell me that was so important?" asked Kiyoshi.
"Umm Kiyoshi… I… I know I'm older than you are, but I really like you. I was wondering if… if you want to be my boyfriend." Blushed Tanna. "I-I think you're cute, handsome, sweet, kind, and caring. Please Kiyoshi? I-I love you!" said Tanna.
"I-I don't know what to say Tanna… I-… if I hook up with Tanna then maybe I can forget about Yori in "that kind of way"…this is a good chance and Tanna's really cute too. She's smart, cute, pretty, and kind. Tanna… I-I'd love to be your boyfriend. I-I really like you too." Replied Kiyoshi.
"Really? Oh thank you Kiyoshi! Thank you! I promise you, you won't regret this! I love you so much!" squealed Tanna as she swung her arms around Kiyoshi and hugged him tightly.
"Kiyoshi! Did Yori come to school today?" asked the art teacher.
"Yeah in fact we came to school together… but we separated right after getting through the school gates." Replied Kiyoshi.
"I see…well you see, Yori didn't' go to her morning classes and we have the whole school looking for her. We hope she's all right." Said the art teacher.
"Y-Yori's missing? How the hell could anyone let this happen?" asked Kiyoshi angrily.
" Kiyoshi Kura please watch your mouth and clearly it was your fault in the first place. You're her cousin, aren't you? Why didn't you make sure she was feeling all right to go to school? Why didn't you check? Don't you even care about her?" asked the art teacher continuously.
"All right. I get it. Please, stop asking me questions. I'll go look for her too. I'm sorry Tanna but I have to go." Apologized Kiyoshi.
"Don't worry Kiyoshi I understand." Replied Tanna as Kiyoshi ran to look for Yori.
-With Kiyoshi-
"Yori! Yori! Yori!" shouted Kiyoshi as he ran. "Yori- …What the hell? Yori! Yori wake up! Wake up! Damn! We need to get you to the hospital immediately! Help! Somebody help!" yelled Kiyoshi.
"K-iyo…" said a faint voice.
"Yori? Yori! It's me, Kiyoshi! I'm here for you Yori! I'm here for you!" shouted Kiyoshi.
"K-Kiyo…" replied the faint voice.
"I'm here for you Yori! I'm here… I'm here for you…"
-In Yori's mind-
"W-What happened… Why is it so dark in here… where am I? This isn't APETW! This isn't even in Japan! Help! Somebody help! Please! Kiyoshi1 Kiyoshi!" thought an echoing voice.
"Yori…"
"Who said that? Who's voice is that? Hello? Hello! Is anyone there?" asked the echoing voice.
" Yori……Yori…Yori…"
"Hello? Hello? Whoever's there please! Help me! Hello!" shouted the echoing voice.
" Yori…Yori…Yori…Yori!" shouted a loud voice. "Yori wake up! Wake up! Please wake up!"
"…H-huh?" asked Yori as she slowly opened her eyes and the light blinded her.
" Yori! Thank god you're okay!" shouted Kiyoshi as he hugged Yori tightly.
"W-What? What happened? Where am I?" asked Yori.
"You must've collapsed. You've been like this for hours. I'm surprised no one found you. Thank god I found you before it was too late! What's wrong? Do you feel sick? Are you okay? What's wrong?" asked Kiyoshi.
"I'm just fine Kiyoshi. Just a little tired and dizzy that's all." Yawned Yori.
"You're going home." Said Kiyoshi firmly letting go of Yori.
"No, I-I can't possibly… I can't miss art class! The teacher will kill me if I miss it! Then I'll be hated forever!" exclaimed Yori.
"Screw her Yori, the only thing that matters now is that you need to get better! Go home and get some rest." Said Kiyoshi.
"no…no…" said Yori.
"Yori! Why do you have to be so impossible? Go home already! I'll get all your class work and homework for you so that you won't be behind. But don't over work yourself. We want to cure you, not kill you to death. " said Kiyoshi. "Besides it's an order, not a suggestion. In the name of being your cousin I'm caring for your welfare. Go home!"
"All right Kiyoshi… I-if you say so…" said Yori sleepily.
"I'll walk you home." Said Kiyoshi.
"Kiyoshi?" asked Yori.
"Yeah?" replied Kiyoshi.
"Thank you." Said Yori.
"Just promise me you'll get better." Smiled Kiyoshi.
"Okay…" replied Yori.
AN: Okay so that was chappie 9! I hope you all enjoyed it! Sure hope Yori gets better…
