Good day to my faithful reviewers…I'm back and ready to shower you all with natural weirdness. Thanks to those who reviewed. I'm forever grateful to you all. If it were not for you people, I never would have had the heart to write any story at all. Thanks for the support! On with the story…oh, before I forget…
Disclaimer: nope, still poor and penniless. I don't own FOR.. I am merely using characters for my own twisted humorous stories.
oOo
7:00am, classroom…
The school bell rang which signaled the start of yet another day of learning. The students went to their respective seats and waited for their teacher to arrive. As rain started pouring outside, a very annoyed wind child kept mumbling to herself.
"Darn it! Mi-chan's right! It's starting to rain …oh man!"
Actually it was not like Fuuko hate the rain. As a matter of fact, she really loves it when it rains, especially like this, all the students are inside, warm and cozy. She was just worried that if this rain continues, she might end up calling her mom and ask her to pick her up at school because she did not bring any umbrella.
Knowing her mom, she will never hear the end of it.
The door slid and the teacher entered the room. Everyone opened their textbooks as the teacher started talking.
As noon approaches, instead of abating, the rain became a full-blown typhoon. The bell rang which signals the lunch break. Fuuko went to the cafeteria and found that Recca, Yanagi and Domon were already there.
"Hey guys! Some weather we have right now ha! Yanagi what are you havin'?" asked the fuujin wielder as she seated beside her friend.
"And where is my beloved Mi-chan?" she added when she noticed that Mikagami was not around.
"I saw him leaving his classroom a while ago. He's probably going here as we speak. Hmm, you're really serious about this 'couples' thing? I mean, Fuuko, c'mon! This is just a joke right! You know you can tell us, we're your friends." Said Recca.
"Yeah, Recca is right. I will not accept that my darling Fuuko is in love with the ice-man!" Domon commented after gulping down his drink.
"Guys, guys, guys! Why is it so hard to believe that Mi-chan and I are in love? I mean, what is so not convincing about us?" Said Fuuko emphatically, with a matching distressed look on her face. The way she was acting, it seems like the question really came from the heart.
"You're my friends so you should be happy for me, right? But instead, I get the feeling like you're more bothered than ever. This is precisely why Mi-chan and I kept it a secret."
'Good one, Fuuko! Go for guilt!' The wind child was mentally having a victory dance.
"What! Kept it a secret! Since when did this thing started anyway?" roared the two male Hokage members. Yanagi simply look stunned at the revelation.
For Fuuko's part, she was also stunned at their reactions, 'Wow! Not really the reaction I was going for but, this will do.'
"Well, Uhm! It's a long story and I'm sure by the time I'm at the middle part, you boys will be snoring to death. So I won't be a little she-devil and spare you all the tragic fate. " Fuuko hesitated and sweatdropped. She was not ready to tell the real story to her friends much less thought of her so-called relationship with Mi-chan.
"Suffice it to say that Mi-chan and I agreed on things and we have mutual feelings…" Fuuko smirked, she was not really lying, as a matter of fact, she was actually telling the truth. Not the whole truth but still…Mikagami and she both hate Amagiwa's guts and conceited ways.
"Sempai's here, guys!", announced Yanagi.
Mikagami immediately sat beside Fuuko,
"Did you bring lunch?" asked the 'concerned' boyfriend.
"No. I guess I forgot. I'll buy lunch here. Did you bring yours?" Answered the 'ever-kind' girlfriend.
"No. We might as well get in line." Mikagami checked the students lining up to get lunch and unconsciously assisted Fuuko as she stood up.
Whisperings and mumbling started once again as the 'couple' fell in line. Fuuko for her part was still getting used to the idea that Mikagami is now her 'boyfriend' and she his 'girlfriend'. But being the cheeky angel that she is, she can't help but add a little spice and raise hell with her outrageous stunts.
The said stunt… she hooked her left arm with Mikagami's right and tiptoed a bit to gain some height. She tilted her head towards his as if about to kiss him. Her lips, got nearer and nearer to its destination, which the audience assumed to be Mikagami's lips. The people in the cafeteria had their eyes glued on the affectionate couple and gasping and utter shock prevailed.
Fuuko, satisfied with the audience's reaction immediately changed direction and whispered to Mikagami's ear…albeit seductively,
"What will you have for lunch?"
No matter how hard he tried to quench that inner voice in his head, Mikagami can't deny the fact that he was almost caught up with Fuuko's stunt. He was mentally convincing himself that that scene should not affect him but it did. The goose bumps and the warm feeling were enough proof. He was contemplating this fact so he did not hear what Fuuko was saying.
"Oi Mi-chan, you ok?"
"I'll have tuna sandwich and some salad and iced tea." He looked at the counter.
"Ok…I'll have what you're having then. And remember this is your treat." Smiled the hyperactive wind child.
"I never doubted for a second." Replied Mikagami.

As they sat on their table, three bewildered faces caught their attention. Mikagami ignored them and began eating. Fuuko followed suit.
Among the three, Recca was the one to gain speech first.
"Did I just witness all that? Creepy, man! I never would have thought Fuuko was capable of doing that."
That exclamation seemed to wake the other two. Yanagi smiled and Domon being Domon, he wailed…
"Fuuko darling, how could you do this to me? To us? To our love?" waterfalls came out from Domon's eyes.
Fuuko, Yanagi and Recca just sweatdropped.

(a/n: I changed class dismissal to 3pm since 5pm is a little late)
3:00 p.m.
Fuuko was even gloomier than ever. The reason for the sadness? The rain continued to pour down on earth like there's no tomorrow. She half expected that by lunchtime the rain would have stopped but she was sorely disappointed. The bell rang and the students started stuffing their things inside their bags.
'No need to delay the inevitable', she packed her things as well. If worse comes to worst she could just walk in the rain, with the tune of "Singin' in the Rain" echoing in her mind. She smiled at that thought.
She got to her locker and removed her school shoes and immediately slipped on her normal shoes. Now she's ready to face nature itself.
With a determined look on her face she proceeded to step in the rain when a voice broke her concentration.
"What are you doing?" said the cold voice. Fuuko jumped a bit and turned to see Mikagami leaning on the wall.
"Damn Mi-chan! Spot surprising me like that. You nearly gave me a heart attack. And what are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be on your way home?" asked the irritated Fuuko.
Mikagami straightened up and started walking towards Fuuko.
"I was, but then I remembered you didn't bring any umbrella."
Not really getting his point, she smiled at him.
"Ooh! You know Mi-chan, you may not know it but you are such a thoughtful person. Thank you for your concern." Fuuko smiled again.
It was Mikagami's turn to be surprised although his face remained emotionless. He would never have thought that Fuuko would say something like that.
He surprised himself as well. He was standing in front of his locker when it occurred to him that Fuuko might do something outrageous again like run into the rain just because she forgot to bring her umbrella. That was the kind of girl she was, spontaneous and free, like her element. He at once decided to wait for her. He kept telling himself that he was only doing this because of camaraderie and concern for his teammate. He never realized that her gratitude would mean so much to him and he wasn't even expecting some compliments either.
Fuuko breathe in and said,
"There is something about the scent of the earth as it succumbs to the rain. Distinct smell, don't you think?"
"Hai." Mikagami opened his umbrella and they started walking in to the rain.
"I didn't bring an extra umbrella. I hope you don't mind sharing one with me."
"Not at all. Couples do this. Wouldn't it be more convincing to other people if they see us sharing the umbrella?"
Comfortable silence hung in the air. The only noise heard was the drops of water from the sky. The wind blew softly as they continued to walk.
"Did you hear that, Mi-chan?" asked the wind wielder.
They both stopped walking and Mikagami became still, trying to listen for something but heard nothing.
"What is it?"
"I thought I heard a meow."
"What? A meow? You mean like a cat?"
"No, I mean like a dog! Of course Mi-chan, a cat! Only cats meow." Fuuko scanned the area they were currently walking on.
Mikagami only raised his eyebrow at the comment. Then he heard it too. The faint sound of meowing barely heard in the rain. How Fuuko heard that sound when he himself had to be quiet just to hear it was beyond him. Maybe because of the wind or just a talent.. Who knows?
Fuuko took a second scan of the area and immediately ran to their right, out of the road and into a vacant lot with lots of wild plants and bushes, momentarily forgetting the rain.
"Hey!" was the only word Mikagami was able to say before he followed Fuuko. He saw Fuuko bent down and said something to a box.
"There you are. Look Mi-chan!" Fuuko said enthusiastically. Mikagami looked at Fuuko then he turned his attention to the box. Inside the box was a kitten drenched and shivering. Fuuko, not noticing the she too was drenched from head to toe, bent down and picked up the kitten.
"Hello, little one. You must be very cold and hungry right now. Don't worry, I'll take care of you." She cooed.
"Hey Mi-chan, I'm taking this poor kitten home. Mom will be very happy." All Mi-chan can do at the moment was give Fuuko an are-you-really-serious kind of look. He could not believe this girl in front of him. One minute she was saying something about scents, the next she was holding a kitten she had just seen for the first time.
"You're not really planning on taking that kitten home with you, are you?"
"Why can't I? Someone had the nerve to leave this kitten here alone and cold so why can't I take Michi home?"
'Great! Now Fuuko's got a name for the kitten! She's fast!' Mikagami could only stare. He realized that Fuuko was still standing in the rain, holding the poor kitten.
"You both are going to be sick if you continue standing there, without protection." He ushered Fuuko to the main road while holding the umbrella above their heads.
They started walking again and Fuuko continued to talk to the kitten.
"Don't worry, Michi. As soon as we get home, I'm going to make you warm and feed you. There's plenty of milk in the house."
The corner of Mikagami's mouth lifted. As he thought about it, he found this day quite interesting to say the least. It seemed a lot of things happened, and here he thought that this day would be like any other day.
'Fuuko…you're definitely something.'
To be continued…
