Fight for Love!
12th Fight: From South Summer High School II
"Mi-chan, where are you going?" Koko asked.
"Home, of course!" I groaned. "And since when I allow you to call me 'Mi-chan'?"
"You mean, I can't?"
"Yeah. Only Oji-chan is allowed to call me that," I said and Oji-chan gave his grandson a victorious look which I did not get why he was doing so.
I walked out of the shop and almost immediately I bumped into another person.
Gosh...
How many people should I bump into just to get out from this shop?
"Look where you're going, blind old woman!" that person growled.
I rubbed my forehead and looked at the person. His expression was worse than Koko when I had bumped into him before that. Though I could barely see his eyes because they were so small, I could tell that he was extremely angry just by the way he gritted his teeth and loud rumbling noises coming out from his mouth.
He was so scary!
He grabbed my collar and pulled me closer to him. I was shivering like a naked polar bear in Arctic as I kept looking at his close-up face. I seriously needed to learn not to be clumsy anymore. Who knows I might bump into a lion in the future?
After it seemed like eternity, he growled, "Hey chick, I know I am very handsome but I can't stand people who keep looking at me, especially those who don't know how to say sorry."
I was speechless. Did he just call me a chick? Did I look like a little furry chicken to him? How rude!
"Well, I'm sorry but I'm definitely not a chick!" I yelled and slapped his hand away from my collar.
"Kitsuneme, don't you remember who she is?" Koko laughed suddenly and rested his arm on that scary person's shoulder.
That scary person snapped, "Who is she? Do I even know this chick?"
"I'm not a chick! I'm human!"
He glared at me and smirked. "I don't think I know this stupid, dumb, noisy chick."
His words pierced through my heart like a knife. How dared he insulted me!
"Me either. I don't think I know you too." I smirked back at him.
Koko slapped that person back and grabbed his hand. Without warning, he shoved that person's face right in front of mine and I was taken aback by his close-up face again.
"Look at her carefully, idiot! She is the legendary Mikan Yukihira! She is the one whom you had talked about before!" Koko jabbered excitedly.
That person remained silent for a while and after that, he nudged Koko away.
"Oh," he muttered and stared at my chest. "They seemed to have grown... a little though... Pathetic!"
Alright, I could tell that he was a pervert, just like Natsume.
"I'm Kitsuneme and I used to be your middle school senior," that scary person stated coolly as he scratched the back of his head. "We hadn't met each other face-to-face before so this is your first time meeting me. I'm sorry if I am being rude but this is my nature."
"Yeah. Kitsuneme is the vice-captain of the Taekwondo Club in South Summer High School so he tends to be very intimading," Koko added on.
Kitsuneme pointed at Koko and said, "And Koko, this idiot, is the captain of the Taekwondo club. He may be only second year but he is a Third Degree Black Belt, higher than our Third Year seniors."
"Kitsuneme, you're the same as me. Why are you only praising me in front of her?" Koko laughed and poked Kitsuneme's cheeks. "Kitsu-chan, you are so cute and humble."
My jaw dropped. These two boys were Taekwondo freaks! Why did I seem to be involved in Taekwondo a lot this year? Was my luck really that bad?
"You... You two are... cool," I stammered and gave them a thumb-up. "Like Tsubasa-senpai, Natsume-senpai and Ruka-senpai."
"Natsume? Ruka?" Kitsunene repeated curiously. "Do you know them?"
"Yeah, they are my seniors so, of course, I know them."
"They're jerks."
I nodded.
"They're petty."
I nodded again, feeling a little contented that someone had the same thoughts as me at last.
"They're gays."
I nodded agreeingly with a huge grin.
"And we want to battle them!" Koko and Kitsuneme shouted together while flinging their arms wildly like two gorillas ready for a fight.
A drop of sweat rolled down my forehead. They were seriously fighting maniacs. Even Oji-chan who was all along listening to our conversation was doing a victory sign. Wait, why was he doing that by the way?
"Mi-chan, do you know that there will be a Taekwondo tournament held two months later? Please come and support us! I think Natsume and Ruka will be participating too, just like last year," Koko said.
"I didn't know about that," I claimed. "And I will see about that too."
"Don't support Natsu-chan and Ru-chan!" Koko yelled.
I did not know whether I should laugh again. Since Kitsuneme was from the same middle school as me and he seemed to know quite a lot of Natsume and Ruka, I guessed that they might be friends.
"Are Natsume-senpai and Ruka-senpai your friends?" I asked Kitsuneme.
He shrugged and replied, "Not really. We are more like rivals in Taekwondo."
"Same for me," Koko proclaimed and crossed his arms. "What about you, Mi-chan? Are you friends with them?"
I mimicked Koko by crossing my arms too and snorted. "Definitely not."
Koko smiled while Kitsuneme dug his nose in front of me. It was great to know them and I should thank them for telling me about the tournament because I wondered if Misaki and the rest were interested in it.
"So... I will leave now. Glad to meet you guys!" I said and carefully walked out of the shop, just in case I bumped into another scary person. "Bye!"
"Please give your support to us!" Koko shouted and gave me a victory sign.
"Do come back again!" Oji-chan laughed as he waved to me.
Kitsuneme just waved silently without saying anything.
As I walked away from the shop, I realised that the sky had turned quite dark. It was covered with dark heavy clouds which was definitely signaling that it would rain anytime. Taking up my speed, I ran to the bus stop and hailed for an in-coming bus. Almost immediately, the bus arrived and I boarded it.
Half way through the journey, there was a heavy downpour. I was lucky that I chose to take a bus ride back home than to walk back home.
I looked out of the window and noticed that the bus had passed by my school. Students were running out of the school frantically without umbrellas and much to my surprise, I saw Ruka, still clad in his Taekwondo robe, walking towards the bus stop. Without thinking twice, I alighted the bus and waved to him.
"Ruka-senpai!" I called out and he waved back to me.
"Oh, it's you. Why aren't you back home yet?" Ruka spoke and walked to the bus stop for shelter.
He was drenched from head to toe. To add on, he looked cool with his hair soaking wet.
"I went to buy some stuffs," I replied and suddenly, I remembered that I had bought rabbit food for Usagi. "I have something for you, Senpai."
I took out the rabbit food and handed it to Ruka.
Ruka examined the package and asked dully, "Do I look like a rabbit to you?"
"No, of course not. It's for Usagi-chan!" I laughed.
"Oh... So, it's for Usagi. Thanks," he muttered softly with a flushed face.
I giggled upon realising how adorable he was when he blushed. He looked just like a kid who was finally granted with sweets. Furthermore, I wanted to give his cheeks a pinch...
Oh dear, what was I thinking again? I cupped my cheeks and patted them hard to get rid of my embarrassment. Yes, it was very embarrassing to think like that! What had happened to me? Did Natsume's perverted virus pass on to me? If so, I had to get away from Ruka before I really did something bad to him!
"Ruka-senpai, I better get going. The rain is getting heavier," I said and waved to him.
"Goodbye. See you next Monday," Ruka responded with a blank look on his face.
I opened my umbrella and took the usual route home. I did not know if fate was trying to play tricks on me on this particular day but everything seemed to be very strange and weird. I could have waited for another bus and took a ride home without getting wet. I could even have a chance to sit next to Ruka in the bus. However, things were not what they seemed to be. I just continued to walk straight along the roadside without being fully aware that I could have taken a bus home.
When I made a turn at a corner, I saw a drenched boy in his Taekwondo uniform walking ahead of me. He looked terribly like Natsume from the back. Just then, the lad collapsed onto the wet ground and did not move at all. Frightened, I ran towards him and shook his body.
"Hey! Are you all right?" I shouted worriedly. "Please say something!"
There was no response. I carefully turned his body around to face me so that I could place my finger near his nostrils to see if he was still breathing. When I turned his body around, I then realised that this boy here was not any normal boy in Taekwondo uniform.
He was that jerk- Natsume Hyuuga!
Fancy meeting him here out of all places! That was why I said that fate was constantly playing tricks on me.
I checked his pulse and his breathing. Thank goodness that he was still alive. I put my umbrella aside as I had to pull his upper part of his body up in a sitting position and shook him again.
"Natsume-senpai, wake up!"
I shook him harder but failed. He was so heavy that my hands could not support him any longer and his head crashed onto my shoulder. That was when I felt something warm emitting out from his forehead.
Gosh! Did he have a fever? But he was fine earlier!
I touched his forehead to confirm it and it was really burning. I looked around me in panic to see if there was anyone who could help Natsume. Unfortunately, we are all alone here!
Pulling Natsume up again, I tried to piggy-bag him but it was quite hard to do so as he was taller than me. I locked his arms around my neck and started carrying him behind my back. Of course, his feet were dragging on the ground since my left hand was locking his arms together while my right hand was holding onto my umbrella so that I could shelter him from the rain. If his shoes were to be damaged, I promised to buy a new pair of shoes for him.
As for this moment, all I could think of was to take this dreadful person to my house to have a rest and see if I could help him in any ways.
See? Fate always had its ways to make fun of my hectic life.
