I Love You

Chapter 10

(A/N: Thank you for reviews! Hope you like this chapter!)

On the previous chapter...

"...so in other words, Eiji, you got rejected?" Sakura asked.

"...yeah" Eiji sighed.

"You shouldn't have said that, Sakura..." Kazumi said.

"And we already kis-" Eiji began.

Sakura gasped. "You already did? Wow!"

After a long moment of silence, someone knocked on the door. It was Fuji holding the equipment.

"Okay. Let's use our remaining days to set these up." Fuji smiled sadistically. "He won't know what we have in store for him.."

Flashback End

"Fuji is going sadistic again..." Eiji brought up.

Kazumi smiled and stared at Eiji. Sakura stared at Kazumi and letted out a little "Hmm" sound.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Fuji asked.

"Oh, nothing.."

"Hey, Fuji?" Kazumi asked.

"Yes, Kazumi?"

"I...kinda got in trouble today so I have detention for 2 weeks after school...so I can't do my part of the mission. Sorry everyone. I was so childish. Getting into a sissy fight..."

"Kazumi..." Eiji mumbled.

"It's okay, Kazumi. We'll just have Eiji fill in your part of the work. Right, Eiji?"

"Huh? Yeah..."

"Hm?"

Fuji walked closer to Sakura and whispered into Sakura's ear," Hey, is it just me, or is Kazumi and Eiji quite moody today?"

Sakura whispered back,"Yeah, I know...hey...maybe something more happened at the dance.."

"The dance? What happened?"

"I'll tell you later. Right now, we got to initiate the plan!"

"Are you sure you can do your part?"

"I'm strong enough! Don't worry." And with that statement, Sakura pecked a little kiss on Fuji's lips.

Kazumi smiled brightly. "You guys seem pretty confident for you guys to be a 'couple' Aren't you a tad worried that the plan won't work? I mean, he's from America. Are you sure that the Police would listen to anything related to America?"

"Don't worry, Kazumi. And we're not a couple!" Sakura remarked.

"That was a little harsh to Fuji, the guy who you had your first-" Kazumi stopped. Eiji widened his eyes.

"?" Fuji thought.

"Excuse me. It was about time that I have to go home...it's getting late. Bye. Good luck with the plan today." And with that she stood up and ran out of the room.

"Late? It's only 5:00...Kazumi has detention for one hour right? What if we just start the plan at 4 every day so Kazumi can do her part?" Sakura wondered.

"..." Eiji stared outside the window watching Kazumi dash out of the hospital. She tripped, but immediatly got up. She looked up at the window and saw Eiji. Widening her eyes, she continue running.

"So, Sakura. Did Ryo tell you where he was going to meet you?" Fuji asked.

"Yeah, he said Warehouse 2 at the Yokozawa Pier." Sakura answered.

"I see..then let's go now!"

"eiji...Eiji...EIJI...EIJI!"

Eiji awoke from his daze. "What, Fuji?"

"Let's go! What's were you thinking about that made you leave this world?"

"Nothing. Let's go." Eiji got up and slowly followed Fuji and Sakura out of the room.

---------------------------------------------------

At Warehouse 2...

"Wow, this warehouse is BIG!" Fuji remarked.

"Hehehe. Now I know it would take more than one day to set these up." Sakura laughed.

Eiji smiled weakly. "Hey, Eiji. Imma gonna try to draw a map of this warehouse...so stay here with Sakura ok?"

"Okay." Fuji took a big piece of paper and a pencil from the bag they brought and walked away.

"So...Eiji."

"Hm?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"I know something is wrong."

"Nothing is wrong."

"Yes, something is wrong. The cheerful, happy Eiji has disappeared. Where is he?"

"He, You make it sound so funny, but in reality it isn't."

"What are you saying?"

"Love."

"I didn't say that."

"Why, Sakura?"

"Huh?"

"Why doesn't Kazumi like me?" Suddenly, Sakura heard water dripping to the floor. Eiji was CRYING?

"Eiji, I-"

"You're her best friend. Why don't you know?"

"Well..."

Sakura giggled a little.

"What?"

"Few days before the dance, Kazumi and I were shopping for clothes to wear at the dance. Then she made a statement about you."

"Was it bad?"

"Completely opposite."

"What she say?"

"This is what she did..."

Flashback from Chapter Two...

"Ummmm... hey Sakura... who was that kid with the red hair? He looks kawaii!" Kazumi squealed. Sakura stared at Kazumi.

"So?" Kazumi asked.

"I think it's Kikumaru Eiji...he's one of the regulars on the tennis team."

Kazumi dozed off into space...drooling, and sighing every now and then. Sakura looked at her and pretended that she didn't know her because people in the store were looking at them. Sakura slowly tip-toed away and she found a pink tank-top that had a read heart one it with glitter.

Flashback end

"She said that?"

"Yep. Everything she said about you was good. Every single thing. It was either 'Ahhh he's soo cute!' or 'There he is! Let's talk to him!' or 'Eiji...' and other things. She seemed to really like you."

"That's not true! She rejected me! After that...she's being less nice."

"Huh?"

"She sometimes told me to stay away from her...and whenever I sit next to her at lunch, she leaves..."

"...Don't worry, Eiji! I'll find what's wrong with her no matter what!"

"Thanks, Sakura. You're a true friend." Eiji cried and started hugging Sakura.

"Don't create any misunderstandings, Eiji."

"You promise right?"

"I promise. If I don't find out, I will purposly get a F on a very important test."

"Hahaha." Eiji's frown turned upside down and laughed for a long time.

...a little too long.

"I don't think that joke was THAT funny, Eiji." Sakura laughed.

"Me neither." Eiji suddenly stopped laughing.

"..."

"Hey, Eiji! Hey, Sakura!" Fuji smiled showing them the map he drew.

"Wow! It's great!" Sakura pointed out.

"Yep! great!"

"Let's get started then!"
