I don't know about this chapter... please let me know of any mistakes or of things you don't know of!
Today was the school festival! I was so excited that I got up extra early so I wouldn't be late. I ate my breakfast (Which I made) after I got my uniform on.
I walked to the corner where the road forks to wait for Kazemaru. It turns out we live near each other, we never would have figured it out if we didn't walk home together three days ago. Ahh, fun times. I waited for about 20 minutes (Yeah… I was too excited) when I see Kazemaru walking down the road. I wave to him and waited for him to catch up before I started to walk.
"So you excited Ren-San?" Kazemaru had asked me which I nodded happily too.
"You bet! I got up extra early so I could be on time!" I exclaimed to him, he chuckled.
"Yeah, I know how much you like to sleep." He said and I pouted..
During the two weeks of preparation, I had fallen asleep so many times that Kazemaru had kept a squirt gun on him to wake me up.
"So what do you think the costumes will look like?" I asked Kazemaru. He just shrugged, but he also had a look of annoyance on his face. I would too, if I had to dress up as a girl. Due to the small number of females in our class (Which I am thankful of) Kazemaru, being one of the girliest boys in the class, has to dress up as a girl. Which I can not wait to see, to tell you the truth.
"Ren-San we're at the school." Kazemaru said, bringing me back from my thoughts. I noticed we were at the gate. I saw our booth right away. Since our school is big, our class decided to do a tour-guide booth.. To show people around, we are even going to dress up! I get to be the Samurai, the only samurai due to being the only one people can trust not to abuse my swords.
I grabbed Kazamaru's hand and drag him to our class room that was functioning as a dressing room. I really wanted to see my costume. Everyone looked surprised when I walk into the classroom, but quickly got excited.
"Finally! We want to see you two in your costumes." Aki-San said. She handed Kazemaru and me our clothes. We walked in separate stalls (Actually they were just curtains we hung up) and got changed.
"Hey, I'm done." I told them walking out. The girls squealed. My costume looked (Suspiciously) like the school's Kendo uniform (It was dark blue with a yellow lightning bolt on the back).
"Did you take this from the Kendo club?" I asked. They nodded. They told me they wanted to get me real Samurai armor, but they didn't want me to die from heat stroke, so I forgave them especially when Kazemaru came out. He was dressed in a dark blue kimono that had turquoises flowers on it. He looked very girly and I nearly had a nosebleed again. He was blushing from all the attention it brought him.
"You look awesome Kazemaru! Endou had said. He was wearing a costume in Orange and Green. Gouenji was next to him agreeing, he was wearing a costume with flames on it. (A.N For better results go to my profile for the link to the picture I found them at!)
"Tell him Ren!" Endou exclaimed pushing me towards Kazemaru. My face got really hot (hotter than it was) and I started to stammer, eventually I got out a 'you look really nice'. Kazemaru started to blush too.
"Okay Masamune-Kun and Kazemaru-Kun its time to fix your hair, so come here." A girl said, we both gave her looks that said what.
"Well we want Kazemaru-Kun to look more girly and we want Masamune-Kun to look cooler." She explained grabbing us. She worked on Kazemaru first. She took out his pony-tail and started to brush it, his hair was very long and very silky looking. Next she braided it and then she put it in a bun leaving a few strands to frame his face. For a finishing touch, she put in some blue paper flowers, a classmate made. She had wanted to put make-up on him, but he had refused. He looked better without it anyway.
Next she did me. It was very simple I think. She just pulled my hair in a ponytail, leaving my bang.
"Masamune-Kun do you have anything for me to pull you bang back?" She asked, I gave her a questioning look. "I want to show people your scar, but your bang is so long ... Why is that? Don't you need to see?" I shrugged grabbing the yellow ribbon off of lightning then handing it to her.
"I just forgot about it, I'm blind in my left eye so it never really bothered me." She stopped pulling my bang up gapping at me.
"Really? I would have never guessed you're so coordinated." She said continuing her work. My yellow ribbon was holding up my bang so you could fully see my face.
"Wow, your left eye is actually a little lighter that your right eye." She said waving her hand in view of my left eye, but I could still see it with my right. I nodded my thanks and walked over to the mirror.
She was right, my left eye was a little lighter, I never really looked at it before, having been depressed when it happened. Kazemaru walked over to me, he looked me in the eyes.
"You have really pretty eyes," He said "They are like jewels." I blushed at that. I nodded my thanks and walk over to the pile of signs, looking for mine. Each sign was color coded so a person could find their guide easily. Mine was yellow with black lettering. Kazemaru, Gouenji and Endou had grabbed theirs and we walked down to our booth. Next to the booth was a vacant area for me to perform movements for the people. I had thought of some great ones and brought the right swords. I was still carrying them so I took all them out. I had at least seven different swords. I had all the regulars plus Fuujin (Wind God) and Kaze no Megami (Wind Goddess) or Megami for short. The two were a pair and should never be separated.
"How much longer till it's time to start?" I asked Kazemaru.
"In about an hour or so, people are still setting up." he explained to me. I nodded and started to look around to see some of the booths. Students were making food and various other things…
"Ren-Senpai, you look awesome!" I heard someone shout. I look to see Haruna-San, and the other first-years staring at me with… admiration? Maybe, I can't really tell…
"Thanks, hey what is your class doing?" I asked them. They told me their class was doing a play and that I should come see it if I have the chance. I told them I would and that I would bring the others with me. They smiled and ran off so I continued my walk to only be interrupted again…
"Ren-Sama you are awesome hahahahah." I look behind me to see Genda-San with his followers Marui and Sakurai. For the past two weeks I became good friends with them (Not Genda) and we could actually hold a conversation with out them telling me to join the kendo club.
"Ren-Sama please join the Kendo club, the uniform really suits you!" Genda-san yelled. Everyone in the general area stopped what they were doing to stare at us. My face began to get hot, from embarrassment or anger I don't know, but I was about to punch him.
"Ren-Sama you do look wonderful." I looked behind me to see a group of girls running towards me… Dame it. I ran right back to the booth and hid behind it. My class started to laugh at my antics while Kazemaru looked like he was angry? Who knows (A.N You are really clueless Ren!)
I waited behind the booth for the rest of the hour and then it was time to begin!
The festival starts at nine in the morning and ends about ten in the evening so I worked till noon, showing people around, helping people find booths and sometimes I would help a booth with heavy lifting.
So at noon I got a break and luckily so did Kazemaru. We both decided to eat lunch in a secluded pert of the school, to just relax. We were just sitting there (Aki made Kazemaru sit on a blanket so he wouldn't ruin the kimono) eating when Kazemaru asked me a question…
"Why did he do it?" I gave him a confused look. What the heck was he talking about.
"Why did your cousin try to kill you?" He explained further. Why did he bring this on? I shrugged not really wanting to answer it, but Kazemaru was persisten so eventually gave in.
My cousin was jealous, he wanted to be my grandfather's student," I told him " but my grandfather chose me to be his student. So all his anger went into trying to kill me. That's why I try not to get jealous, it's a dangerous emotion." Kazemaru was looking at me with wide-eyes. I smiled at him and continued to eat my lunch, with both of us lapsing back into silence.
"So Kazemaru… Do you have a crush on anyone?" I asked him. I was bored and decided to ask random questions. Kazemaru jumped at thee question, his face immediately becoming red.
"W-w-why do y-you a-ask?" he asked me stuttering almost every word. I shrugged, from his answer he probably does.
"Just wanted to ask, well?" I waited for him to answer. He nodded his head and I felt… sad for some reason.
"Well, who is it?" I asked, he didn't look me in the eye.
"What about you!" He yelled jumping and pointing at me. I looked at him in surprise.
"I don't think so, but I can never tell. I never really liked someone before." I told him. His blush increased some more.
"What about me? How do you feel about me?" He asked becoming more red. I looked at him in shock again. I decided to think about it, how did I feel about Kazemaru…
"I'm not really sure…" I trailed off, Kazemaru looked pretty depressed so I continued "But I do hate it if someone else talks to you." Kazemaru looked happy. He was grinning really big, it was really cute…
"Masamune-Kun! It's time for your sideshow!" A girl yelled to me. I stood up.
"Well, it's time to go…" I said, I stuch out my hand towards Kazemaru "Are you ready to go, my princess?" Kazemaru blushed so hard that I thought he was going to faint. He didn't luckily and he placed his hand in mine.
"Yes I am." He replied smiling. He then kissed my cheek and ran off… wait… processing information…
It hit me. Kazemaru just kissed my cheek. My brain could not process the data. So I just settled for not worrying about it. I was blushing though and smiling like an idiot, that I know of.
I walked back to the booth to see Aki tapping her toe at me.
"You're late, you need to start now!" She exclaimed pointing to a small crowd waiting. I saw Kazemaru standing next to Endou and Gouenji, waiting for me to start I believe. I knew what performance I was going to do. My grandfather taught it to me and it was perfect. I grabbed Fuujin and Megami and walked to my little stage.
"Hello, I am Masamune Ren," I said bowing "Today I am going to perform a little song, called the ballad of the winds, enjoy." this had confused people. I had no instruments, as far as they could see.
I got into stance, I first swung Fuujin, which created a low, but strong note, with Megami close behind. Megami created a high, but gentle sound. This surprised the crowd, but they luckily kept their mouth shut. I kept going through the dance with each sword singing. The two blades were very special, they were created as musical instruments and were very difficult to learn. You had to a very skilled swordsman and musician to use these swords, which I was. I was able to entice the crowed into swaying with the music. When it ended they didn't even realize it.
"Thank you for listening." I told them bowing again. They immediately started to clap (After coming back to their senses)
"Amazing Ren! How did you do that?" Endou asked, Kazemaru and Gouenji agreed with him.
I smiled and told them that a magician never reveals his secrets to which Endou started to complain. I laughed at him and began to take people on tours again. About seven in the evening, we were free to explore again. Kazemaru, Gouenji, Endou and I went to find more of our friends. We went to see Max, Handa, (Those two still haven't come out about their relationship!) Someoka, Megane, and Kageno. Their class did a haunted house (which wasn't scary) Megane was hilarious though, he had fallen in something that turned his skin orange (I now call him Pumpkin, sadly he got it off the next day) We also saw the first years play that was about Peter pan. It was interesting.
Sadly all great things come to an end and the school festival was over. We made a lot of money and we had a lot of fun! We also got to keep the costumes (Kazemaru was reluctant, but I convinced him eventually).
Cleanup was a snap for us and in no time we were walking home. Endou and Gouenji lived in a different direction than us so it was just Kazemaru and I. We walked in silence. It was a comfortable silence and we both enjoyed it. We eventually got to the corner.
"See you tomorrow Ren-San." Kazemaru said waving. I smiled and waved back.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow…" I trailed off. I thought of something good. "Wait a second Kazemaru." He turned around, I got closer to him and kissed his cheek. His face instantly flushed, as his hand went to where I kissed him.
"See you tomorrow!" I shouted running off. I ran all the way home. And when I got there I instantly crashed. I was oddly giddy… Oh, well because tomorrow was my second game!
I like this chapter, but I feel like I did everything to fast… I added some Kazemaru and Ren stuff so I hope you like it ^-^ R&R please! and score! Most words I've done so far!
