Umbrella

Tomoka was miserable, she was wet, tired, hungry, and she had just caught her boy friend cheating on her. Things were going just great.

She had woken up happy this morning, ate a marvelous breakfast, got to school early (because it was raining) and walked in on her boy friend and some peppy cheerleader steaming it up in her home room. Well, understandably she was pissed, so she took her right as a female-who-has-been-cheated-on, and punched him in the face. Then that stupid-little-blond-ball of a cheerleader denied ever knowing that Tomo- chan was going out with him. Ha.

Yes, how lovely can a girl's day get, eh?

Now, she was walking home in the rain, and thanking god every step of the way because she remembered to bring an umbrella.

What was that?

'splishsplash splishsplash'

Was it getting closer?

Tomoka turned around to see Kaidoh running through the rain, trying to keep up with his training schedule.

Her mouth dropped open; he was wearing a tank top, in this weather? Was he crazy!??!

'splishsplash splishsplash'

"Kaidoh Kaoru! What do you think you're doing? If you haven't noticed, it's raining! And you don't have an umbrella and you're wearing a tank top!"

Kaidoh stopped, and stared at her blankly. "So?"

"So! Kaidoh, its freezing out, and you are going to catch your-self a cold. Now, get your self under this umbrella or there will be serious consequences mister."

"fusssh"

Kaidoh complied, albeit grudgingly and got under the protection of the rather small umbrella.

Kaidoh was having a bittersweet day. A good thing was that the girl he liked broke up with her cheater of a boy friend. (Although it made him rather angry that any one would dare cheat on her.) An absolutely awful thing was that the rain had to disrupt his training, but as they say, every ill wind blows some good.

He was now scrunched up next to Tomoka, both of them sopping wet, under her umbrella that was probably meant for one person. It was amazing, his heart was beating loud as the bellows, and she was completely oblivious.

Actually she looked kind of miserable, her clothes were sticking to her skin and were probably itchy, and her hair was dripping icy water down her front. He thought she looked kind of like a puppy whose owners had forgotten to bring her in when it started raining.

Well, he might not be able to do anything about her being wet, but he could defiantly do something about her shivers.

Suddenly, something warm snaked around Tomoka's shoulder, she almost leaned into it… before realizing that the warm thing was Kaidoh's arm!

"Kaidoh." She stopped, "what are you doing?"

"fusssh" he hissed, "keeping you warm of course."

Now it was her turn to stare at him blankly. "Why?"

"Because your cold." He sighed and resumed walking, arm still slung around her shoulder "silly girl."

"I'm not silly."

"are so"

"not"

"so"

"How so?"

"Well Tomoka-san, if you're cold and you refuse heat… that makes you silly." Kaidoh said with a slight grin on his face.

Tomoka pouted, "I wasn't refusing it, If I refused it then your arm wouldn't be around me now. I was merely asking you why you would put your arm around me." She gave it a few seconds, then continued "You didn't have to call me silly. I think you should apologize."

"…"

She frowned.

"…"

She pouted.

"…"

She gave him the puppy-dog-eyes.

"fusssh"

He crumbled.

"Sorry, Tomoka-san"

"Good boy"

Tomoka beamed, if she had a say in it, she wouldn't be boyfriend-less for long!

KKK

We females always get our way… especially when we're holding the umbrellas!
