Author's Note: I'm sooo sorry I'm so far behind on updates! I'm trying to get new chapters up for each of my stories in order, and I had a lot more trouble thinking up Hisae and Gomi's story then I thought I would. Hope you're all still reading and enjoy this chapter!
Erm… I'm sorry if Gomi doesn't have a sister… I kind of forgot if he had any siblings… But in this story, he does.

Then, they all sat in the living room, with Aya, Fuka, and Hisae on the couch and Sana on a chair that was close by. Once they were all settled in and comfortable, Sana looked at Hisae and said, "So, tell us how you two became a couple!"
Hisae turned a light shade of pink. "Well… Okay, I guess…"

((Flashback/ Story))
It was Saturday night, and Hisae was at the ice skating rink with a few friends from another school, Amarante and Amaya. ((Author's Note: For those of you who know me in real life or through Quizilla or DeviantArt, you'll probably recognize those two.))
Since Hisae usually hung out with her friends from Jinbo Junior High, she figured she should spend some time with her other friends. However, that idea wasn't working so well. Almost as soon as they got there, Amarante and Amaya started skating around by themselves. Hisae, on the other hand, wasn't so used to it. She was doing okay until…
Suddenly, she fell. She fell flat on her butt. "Ouch," Hisae said, trying to stand up. Instead, she just fell again after making it about halfway up.
Gomi, who had been leaning against the wall about ten feet away, skated towards her.

"Wait, Gomi was at the ice skating rink?!" Sana asked incredulously. "Why?"
"Hush!" Hisae said, laughing a bit. "I was just about to get to that!"
"Okay," Sana replied, sighing. "Well, go on! Tell us what happened next!"

((Flashback/ Story))
Gomi skated towards Hisae, came to a neat stop in front of her, and held out his hand. Hisae stared at it suspiciously for a moment and then took it, pulling herself up with his help.
"Thanks," she said. Gomi just nodded in reply.
Then, they started skating around again (very slowly), not realizing that she hadn't let go of his hand. "So… Why are you here?" Hisae asked, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen over them.
Gomi rolled his eyes. "She drags me here every Saturday," he said, pointing to a girl across the rink who looked about a year or two older than them.
"Oh…" Hisae said, looking back down to the ice. Then, she noticed their intertwined hands, and quickly let go, blushing. "Well, your girlfriend's really pretty," she said.
And it was true. She had long, black hair and a beautiful face. What Hisae wouldn't admit was that she felt jealous. Then again, she didn't even know that it was jealousy. All she knew was that she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Gomi had a girlfriend?!" Sana screamed, interrupting yet again. "Then how…" She trailed off for a minute before a glint of understanding (or so she thought) appeared in her eyes. "He's cheating!?"
Hisae looked at the ground and shook her head, but didn't say anything in reply to Sana's yelling and Aya and Mami's shocked expressions. Instead, she just continued the story.

((Flashback/ Story))
Gomi's eyes grew wide. "My… Girlfriend?!" he asked, staring at Hisae as if she were an alien.
"Yeah… She is, isn't she?" Hisae asked, still staring at the ground and not seeing the look on her friend's face.
"No way!" he yelled.
At his simple statement, Hisae felt her heart swell a bit. 'Do I… Like him?' she thought. She looked up at him, smiling now. "Then… Who is she?" Hisae asked, puzzled.
"She's my sister!" Gomi shouted, still not over the shock of someone thinking they were dating. He shivered at the thought.
"Oh, that… Makes sense," Hisae said, embarrassed. Without really thinking about it, she turned and hugged him. If it was even possible, his eyes grew wider, before he relaxed and hugged her back.
Then, she started to fall backwards, losing her balance on the slippery ice. Gomi pulled her back up, and they both laughed.
Hisae glanced around quickly for her friends. However, she would have found them quickly if they were still there, considering one of them had short, purple hair. They were nowhere to be found. 'They probably didn't want to interrupt,' she thought, giggling. Her thoughts were true, but Gomi had no clue what was going on.
"What's so funny?" he asked, sounding a bit defensive.
"Oh, nothing really… My friends just sort of… Ditched me. I'm sure they had their reasons, though," she replied. 'Not like I'll tell him what those reasons probably are.'
"Well, then… Do you want to hang out with me until you have to go?" Gomi asked, avoiding her gaze.
"Sure!" Hisae said happily, blushing again. Then, she took his hand again, and they skated around for a few hours, talking and laughing, with Gomi saving Hisae from many more near-falls, and helping her back up when he couldn't stop her from falling.
When it was time to go, they walked off of the rink and sat on one of the benches to put their usual shoes back on. As Hisae stood up and started to say goodbye, she was interrupted by Gomi.
"Would you… Maybe want to… Go out with me?" he asked.
"Okay," she said shyly, her face turning red. Then, she ran back and hugged him, started to leave, and then turned back around. She kissed him on the cheek and then ran out of the rink, waving behind her. "See you later!"

"And… That's about it," Hisae finished, staring at the table in front of her.
"Aww, that's so cute!" Sana, Aya, and Mami chorused. Sana was, of course, the loudest of the three.
"So… Did you kiss him on the lips yet?" Sana asked with a mischievous look, putting her hand up to the side of her face like she was whispering, even though she really wasn't.
Hisae shook her head rapidly, the way Aya had at least once, probably more, almost creating a tornado around her head.
"Aww… Okay!" Sana said, sounding disappointed and then happy.
"Sana, it's time for your friends to go home!" her mom called from the kitchen. Sana looked at the clock as everyone stood up and grabbed their backpacks. She hadn't realized how long the story had taken.
"Well, I'll see all tomorrow," she yelled out the door to her friends, who were walking down the driveway. They said their goodbyes and continued on through the gate.
Then Sana closed the door and started up the stairs to her room, wondering what adventures she would have over the next few days.
