A/N: Here's the next chapter! Thanks in advance for those who have read the previous chapters! XD Owe you greatly X3
Anyway, I still got some time to update some fics for at last…since my obsession with making AMVs has FINALLY decreased a bit, and INSPIRATIONS are coming in a lot!
Now, happy reading! Please don't mind the typos, grammar mistakes, etc etc.
Normal POV
The soccer practice was over and as usual, the boys went to the club room to change.
Kariya tilted his head; assuring whether a certain 'purple-haired' was really not there or not.
Bad news for Kariya, he or she is really absent today.
Kurama, who saw the suspicious movements from the hunter defender, only smirked at his team mate with full amusement.
"Wait till Himeka knows about this…"
The direction to Kurama's house is to the left…but he took a right instead.
And he quickly walked pass a sign which says, 'Maid Café'.
"Welcome back, master—eh?" a certain girl with a purple hair and maid uniform was about to greet Kurama until she realized who the 'master' was.
"Himeka, I knew you'd be here…" Kurama said to which the maid blushed, "Kurama-senpai!"
"What? Aoyama said she has some errands today…so I'd be your guardian for a while," Kurama added and he walked into the café.
"S-so, Ku- I mean, master…where do you want to sit?" Himeka asked while stuttering. "I'll just sit there, near the window," the striker replied.
Himeka only nodded and followed her customer to the mentioned position.
"Ku- master…you're not going to order, are you?" Himeka whispered during the last words.
"Probably not, I was just here to talk to you about something; is that okay?" Kurama suddenly seemed to be soft; much different than his usual attitude!
"S-sure. Luckily there are no other customers and my other friends are out so…" Himeka then took the seat in front of Kurama.
…
A gap of silence started to fill the room…until Kurama started up, that is.
"Okay, so…I think you kinda made a bad decision when you decided that you won't come to school today," Kurama stated.
"Um?" "I mean…Kariya really searched for you everywhere today."
"R-really?" Himeka's cheeks turned redder. "Would I lie to you? It's just natural coming from him. You both are-" Kurama coughed before he continued, "best friends after all. Though I'm pretty sure that you'll be like Hamano and Hayami soon enough," Kurama chuckled.
"Stop it, Kurama-senpai. Kariya and I are not gay. Well, biologically I can't be gay…I'm a girl!" Himeka reasoned but Kurama took it in a different way. "I didn't say you guys should be gay. What I meant was that you and Kariya might go out someday." Kurama started to play with the spoons on the table while Himeka was still at it.
"D-definitely not, Kurama-senpai. I think he likes Ran-san."
Himeka's statement was innocent, yet Kurama burst out laughing.
"Pfft…silly. Don't you remember how much Ran hates Kariya?"
"But…I thought that denial is the first step," Himeka said again to which Kurama laughed even harder.
"Well yeah…that applies for Tsurugi but it's too late now that Tera is with Amemiya but…honestly, I think you and Kariya have much more chance to be together rather than me could ever get along with Minamisawa," he compared.
"…that reminds me, Kurama-senpai. You guys are still dating?" and another innocent question escaped from Himeka's lips.
…
"As long as I'm NOT forever alone during the fishing gathering with Hamano, Hayami, Ichino, and Aoyama; yes. Hamano and Hayami are gay, Aoyama has already dated Ichino or maybe Ichino's the one who asked her out; I still don't get the deal…" Kurama shrugged.
"Me too. I heard the second-years thought they were gay, but they're actually not, right? Hamano-senpai and Hayami-senpai are the only gay pairing in Raimon's soccer club so far…" Himeka suddenly yawned.
"You must be tired from serving tons of customers today. Sasuga the top Maid Café in Inazuma Town," said Kurama with a considering tone; noticing how tired the girl looked.
"Well, it has been a part of my daily lives after all…I still can't help it when my parents are in trouble because of me," she smiled.
"Gee…Kariya sure knows how to pick the right girl without even realizing it…"
"Kurama-senpai, are you okay?" Himeka asked. "Ah, yeah. I was just…thinking about something."
…
"Anyway, wanna go home now? Your double-shift is over, right?" Kurama stood up from his seat and offered his hand.
"Come on. I'll walk you home."
Himeka's POV
Now I'm here; in my room. Kurama-senpai just took me home not so long ago.
I already changed to my casual clothes and was checking on the messages on my phone…
You have 2 new messages
I clicked on the first one.
From: Aoyama-senpai
Hey, how was it? Sorry I didn't inform you earlier. Nanasuke asked me to help him with the physics homework which due to be submitted tomorrow ^^"
I hope Kurama didn't give you much trouble…?
Oh, it's her…
To: Aoyama-senpai
No problem ^w^
We actually had a great time together. By the way, are there any 'interesting' stuff happening today? O_o
There, I replied her. I wonder who the second message was from…
…
From: Masaki-kun
Hi there. Are you okay?
Why weren't you at school today? O_O
…
Kariya…? And I was afraid he would ask that if I didn't come today. But, if I came…then…
You have 1 new message
From: Aoyama-senpai
Glad to hear that
I hope Tsurugi wasn't curious about anything by telling him that you were absent today ._.v
Anyway…today? Well, there was one…during the soccer practice. Kariya asked EVERYONE the same question; "Have you seen Hikaru?"
/coughs/ aww…what's wrong with you two these days? ^^
I knew it…he's always like that…I'm afraid people will call him gay for doing so!
To: Aoyama-senpai
You told Tsurugi? Why? O_o
Kariya…huh? Yeah, he's always like that. And AGAIN, there's nothing between me and Kariya =3=
Btw, he just asked me about the reason why I was absent today…what should I do? DX
I took a deep breath and sighed. I don't want to blow my cover just yet.
The reason why I was absent today…?
Well…
You have 1 new message
From: Aoyama-senpai
Because he's also absent today and he was wondering who was also absent that day so that he won't be alone to take the make-up test for biology.
Oh really? XDD …
Whoa? He really asked? OwO
Just say you were sick or something…since, well; you technically are, right?
Well yes…I still got 'it' so I didn't have enough strength to study a lot today. Though it wasn't like this yesterday…why…?
To: Aoyama-senpai
Biology! I nearly forgot DX
I hope Kariya wanna help me, I CAN'T DO MUCH FOR BIOLOGY =_=
Well, I hope that works…thanks a lot Shumizu-senpai :D
Now….time to reply his message.
To: Masaki-kun
I'm fine, just…a bit of flu, that's all ^^
Say…do you mind coming around a bit this afternoon? I heard that today there was a Biology test, right? O_o
…
I nearly wrote about the 'girl stuff' in there…phew, that was close.

From: Masaki-kun
Ah, is that so? Bless you :D
Oh, the biology? That one about the classification? Oh, it's so easy! Sure I'll come by!
I also wanted to show you the new online game I got the other day XD
What? Another online game? Seriously…
To: Masaki-kun
Thanks ^^
R-really? I hope I can do well…
Whoa whoa whoa, another online game? Don't tell me it's Grand Chase.
Well, I might be a girl…but I still need some personalized personality to be Hikaru!
From: Masaki-kun
No problem ;) You'll come to school tomorrow, right?
Sure you can ^^ Even Tenma said it was easy!
Err…no…it's Lost Saga o_ov
Oh no…how will I answer this question…? Of course I won't come to school tomorrow if it's still like this…
To: Masaki-kun
Probably, but if my condition is still like this…then probably…yeah
Lol, what does that supposed to mean, I wonder? XD
Oh, that one…Amagi-senpai already gave me the copy of it X)
And so it goes on…as long he doesn't see the 'real girl' in me…I think this will work out…
…
Right?
-Time Skip-
Normal POV
The soccer practice is over for that day and the 'girls' went to the female bathroom first as usual; and Kariya is following them too of course…AS USUAL.
But the unusual thing that day was…none of the 'trio' was around. Only Aoyama and…Kurama…?
"Where are those three again?" Aoyama asked.
"Ran said she got detention, Tera has to study for tomorrow's exam, and Himeka…yeah, you know," Kurama replied while shrugged.
Aoyama sighed, "What's with Ran these days, really? Yesterday she caused a food fight in the cafeteria and then two days ago she made the classroom floor very slippery that many people fell on each other."
"Well actually she didn't, someone put a prank on her or something…" Kurama defended Ran. Well, it's not like he didn't know who the real culprit is anyway.
Kariya only smiled amusingly while listening.
"Say…" Aoyama said, "…about Himeka; you didn't cause her much trouble, did you?"
"I hope not. I just took her home, that's all."
"…wait…he just- WHAT?"
Aoyama only chuckled hearing her friend's reply.
"I'm going to tell Minamisawa…!" to which Kurama blushed slightly, "why?"
"Because…I don't know, you cheated on him?" Aoyama said spontaneously and then made her way through the hallway…but followed by Kurama, of course; who's chasing her.
"SHUMIZU! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? I AM NOT LIKE THAT!" he…or she…yelled, which echoed through…and loud enough to make Kariya think twice.
A/N: That's it for this chapter! Thank you for reading! XD /throws chicken nuggets/
Right, so…since my uncle's laptop will be returned this week, I can focus on my fics at last! XD
But due to school assignments, update faster is still not available, sorry DX
Okay, so you're probably wondering about Kurama…but I'll tell you the whole story later in the next chapter. I've also been working on a Vocaloid fic (but in Indonesian first since it's a bit random)…well JTLYK X) (Just To Let You Know)
