Not sure what to do with this chapter so i will just write what comes into my mind, hope i'll think of something exciting.
"kazu-kun~ will i be able to catch girls with playing music?" teddie ask kinda innocently but have some kinda motive. So Kazuya just played it safe.
"Depends but i don't think it will work that way" Kazuya said as he shrugs his shoulders but his band mates have other plan.
"Don't be shy Kazu i know you know the answer to that question more than anyone" Ichijo smirk while the others are supporting him.
"Kujikawa-san i think you need to use a mask, since you are an idol on hiatus." Kazuya was quick to change the topic.
"yeah it will create a ruckus if they knew you are here in Inaba playing on stage with some guys who was stranger to them" Yu seems to contemplate. While Rise nodded to their suggestion.
"it seems to be incomplete yeah" The big guy Kanji said.
"What if the band members also wear mask" Chie blurted out like it wasn't really her intention. The guys looked at Chie like she did something really amazing which is really amazing too.
"What have you done to Chie, Get out of Chie immediately!" Yousuke said and a hand flew at his face.
"Im me Idiot!" Chie shouted at yousuke
"yup you're right chie-senpai that's just what they need." naoto said while nodding her head.
while the others are planning for the upcoming festival Rise noticed Kazuya was spacing out. 'how can one man be this perfect, wah? what am i saying? no i shouldn't'
"Kujikawa-san" Kazuya said unexpectedly that Rise was surprised.
"ye-yes ehem" Rise stutters "Would you pls stop staring at me intently" Kazuya blush that he put a hand at his face to hide his redness.
once realize that she had been staring at him for more than 10 minutes her face began to blush as well.
"sorry..." as she hid her face. Kazuya on the other hand he hugged his legs and put his head on top of his knees and arms and looked at rise sideways.
"there's nothing to say sorry about" and smiled
"hey ka-kazuya-kun" waited for an answer
"yeah? you can just call me Kazu" He said with a smile
"Then Kazu why are you so nice to me now?" she ask curiously while her eyes are fixed straight not looking at kazuya.
He blinked at her question then look straight ahead. "I don't know.. i just seem comfortable with you"
"...re-really?" Rise was excitedly nervous "...yeah..." Rise smiled.
As the time pass by. It was Time for Everyone to go they all said goodbye to each other and part their ways but one was stubbornly stayed until everyone was gone.
"well Kazu you can call me Rise NO buts ok? Babyee" Rise left not waiting for Kazuya's answer
"seems like no is not an answer huh Rise" He chuckled and went to bed.
The next morning was saturday so no classes and Kazuya Planned to sleep all day. As always his plans never go the way he wants to.
"KAZU" Banri Shouted at him like he was about to die or something.
"urgh What? shut up Bye" And just like that he closed his eyes and again he will never get what he want.
"Kazuyaaaaa" Ichijo said Kazuya burried his head under his pillow so he will block the sounds but Ichijo throw his pillow somewhere he can't reach and was strained to listen
"What do you want?" Kazuya groaned as he sit up. "We are going somewhere you go and prepare"
"fine"
As they were walking at the park they sit at the bench and waited for someone.
"what is this about?" kazuya asked
"I will court Rise" Ichijo Smiled so wide
"What?" Kazuya was shocked "yup that's right me The most handsome guy Ichijo and Rise the Risette will be together after i court her" Ichijo said
it Made Kazuya uncomfortable but he just didn't mind it "oh goodluck, then im going to go now"
"wait i need you in this plan" Ichijo said and the two boys just nodded "What? No you don't need me you can do it"
"i Really need you in this plan" he pleaded "fine what am i going to do?"
"yes! i need you to have me and rise be alone, i can't do it because of the group she's in please?"
"okay..." said and was feeling uneasy 'i should be happy yeah happy for them'
the came rise and the others. Rise was Quick to see Kazuya.
"good morning Kazu" She greeted him with a big smile.
"..good morning" he greeted back but Rise was not satisfied with it.
"Kazu who did you greet was someone here?" Rise pouted and kazuya was confuse but quickly realized it.
"good morning too Rise" with a small smile. "There you go" Rise smiled widely
ichijo was poking kazuya wuth his elbow which means the plan starts now.
as he sigh he moved up to the group "Yo you guys hungry? i know some restaurant next town"
"Really? Does it have steak?" Chie was first to ask. "yeah it does" He smiled. "come on lets go"
"Ka-" before Rise could ran to kazuya. Ichijo held her arm blushing "you wouldn't like it there i mean would you like to hang out with me?"
"Come on let's go to the others isn't that hanging out?" Rise said "well yeah but i mean i'd like to know you better you know like more than anyone?"
"umm sorry but you just like the risette right?" Rise said "That's why i wanted to know you better, i want to know the real you" Ichijo was a smooth talker.
"err sure but we need to notify the others especially ah nevermind" 'Kazuya' Rise stopped "especially who?" He was curious
"No one" She smiled 'ah damn she's to beautiful' "ok lets go?"
"yeah"
At the group
"Hey where is Rise chan?" Yukiko was wondering
"She is with ichijo" Kazuya said bluntly
"oh yeah she texted me haha"
As the day goes by it was already night. they were back in Inaba and the others got back home. Kazuya was still walking and thinking about random stuff. Till he saw Rise.
"Rise?" She was sitting at the park alone.
"Oh hey Kazu what are you doing here?" she ask
"just catching some air what bout you? What are you doing here alone in the night, where something can happen?"
"just catching some air too haha" She laughed sadly. Kazuya sat beside her.
"Really now? i will be here for you? is that what you said? yeah i'll say it back to you" Kazuya said 'ok that was corny' he thought
"you know that was corny" Rise said but was holding her laughter.
"but you're about to laugh so i'll say it was successful" He smiled for her
"okay okay but it was still corny," She smiled back.
"so what happend? why were you sad?" Kazuya said as he looked up at the stars.
"no its nothing" Rise said as she dozed off. her head waswaving right and left kazuya noticed it and put her head at his shoulder.
"guess the little princess is so tired huh, i should carry her back on her home." kazuya nodded at himself like a proud parent of himself.
As he carried her on his back she was dreaming of him which he didn't know.
then the reach the destination but as he stepped inside it started to rain heavily 'ahh what a badluck i am'
he put her to her bed and wrapped her with blanket 'princess' he thought
'how am i going to go home now?' he was speaking at himself. "Kazuya-kun you should stay for the night i don't think the rain will stop" Rise's grandma said
"umm sure?" still unsure about it but Rise's grandma prepared the futon next to the bed of Rise so that He could sleep there.
"a-are you sure i should sleep here in rise's be-bedroom?" he asked confused "yes Rise's room is the only one that has a heater" she explained "im okay with cold" he said
"i trust you" She said and bid goodnight which he was left with only one choice.
'i dont think i can sleep' kazuya said to himself
hours later kazuya was sound asleep.
the next morning
Rise jumped at the bed and realize she was at her room wondering how she got home. 'i should ask kazu' she reached her phone at the table beside the bed and noticed an futon and saw a hair which made a surprised and screamed
"KYAH" Rise screamed.
Kazuya on the other hand was so deep in his sleep didn't woke up.
Rise's grandma was smiling downstairs
"Kazu? what are you doing here" rise stared at him that she found him real cute.
she got closer to his face and closer as she looked at his lips like he she was going to kiss him. that's when he hugged her and opened his eyes for a surprise he did to himself "Wah! Sorry! i didn't mean to hug you"
Rise blushed "its ok, Wh-what are you doing here kazu?"
"ah the rain poured heavily last night so your grandma ask me to stay for the night and put the futon here because she said this room is the only one that has a heater then i said im ok with the cold then she just walked out" Kazuya said in a single breath
'the living room has a heater' "oh don't worry about it it's ok. And what's more important is that you are not hurt"
"is that so thank you."
as kazuya left rise was talking to herself 'was i about to kiss him? do i like him? yeah i like him' rise smiled at herself
it was later when ichijo needed kazuya
"come on man you can do it, you don't need me anymore in that plan just believe in yourself" giving him some confidence
"ok thank kazuya"
"no problemo" He smiled the group came in and sat at the table. Rise sat next to kazuya which made ichijo jealous.
"Ah right Kazuya Let's order" with some stress in the words which gave a hint on kazuya and he sighed
"okay" As he walk at the counter ichijo returned at the table now sitting at kazuya's seat
"that's kazuya's seat" Rise said "he said it's fine i can take this seat it has some wonderful view"
Rise looked at kazuya who was greeted by the girls on the other table. little did they know Rise was glaring at them for flirting with him.
She stood up and walked next to kazuya and cling at his arms. Kazuya was surprised by her actions.
"Hey Kazu Buy me a drink please" She said in a flirty tone "um sure" confused
"aw damn he has a girlfriend already hmph" the girls made their way back.
Back at the table Ichijo was furious with jealousy. He stood up "Yo Kazuya remember that thing you told me you had to buy" He was smiling but obviously for kazuya angry and jealous.
"Ahh right" he bluntly said and took off rise's arm at his.
"then got to go" plainly smile and got out of the store.
"now he's away" he thought out loud
"Now he's away? what do you mean?" Rise was getting angry but he was fast to cover it up
"i was singing it has been stuck in my head since this morning" the he smiled to reassure
"oh is that so" and she sat next to chie and yukiko which was a plan failed for ichijo.
while kazuya was away Rise was not very cheerful and ichijo tried everything
little while later kazuya arrived at the group and Rise was first to greet him "Welcome back Kazu"
"yo" and waved a hand "what did you bought?" Rise stood up and sat next to kazuya.
"it was sold out" and he had a dead laugh "well i guess i should wait again"
"aww that's too bad" and a moment of silence and kazuya looked at her at her eyes deeply like he touched her soul.
Rise blushed at his actions so she closed her eyes
"aww you lose" Yousuke said
"ha?" Rise was confused for a moment
"we were playing staring contest remember?" Kazuya said
"What?" still confused
"wait did you thought that Kazuya was looking at you because he like you?" Rise blushed at that statement
"NO ofcourse not. with him? no way!" Kazuya was not hurt because he knew she was clearly lying so he decided to tease her.
