Yay I finally wrote the next one inspiration from seeing Blondie I guess...what an amazing woman x It took me like a milenium but yanno. I am a lazy sod...and I went on holiday! America is a pretty amazing place and I take back everything I've ever said bad about it V_V I love it. Anyway I finally wrote this on my birthday! (Don't worry I'm having a party later xD I'm not that sad)~ Happy Birthday me! xD
I really like this chapter, I feel like I brought the humour back into this story it as opposed to the last chapter...which I might re-edit because I don't really like the 7th chapter so much :/ Anywho! If anyone is still reading this, enjoy! If not, too bad I'm going to keep updating this till I've finished...it's a thing I have. I hate leaving things unfinished x) [The Italics are flashbacks as usual]
Nobunaga observed the group of students in front of him with a grin that was beginning to creep some of them out. But he couldn't help it…they were quite a strange sight…five of them were covered in paint, another two in ink and bruises, a girl stood with burnt hair, two more had their hands glued together, one boy had a black eye and the last one would not stop crying.
Nobunaga looked them over again before laughing, "You lot are something else" he grinned leaning back in his leather chair and folding his arms, "I mean I've had students before, but you're in here every other week" the man said as the students in front of him shuffled their feet and twiddled their thumbs awkwardly. The head teacher hummed amused.
"Well obviously you're going to be punished for whatever you did this time…" he said, closing his eyes and re-opening them with his usual stern edge. Glaring at the students. "All right, who wants to go first…" he said drumming his fingers on the desk in front of him, as he scanned the small crowd of worried students, before raising his finger and pointing to Masamune and Yukimura.
"You two, explain" he said cracking his knuckles like a mafia boss and standing up to walk over to them.
Yukimura looked terrified, taking a gulp of air before looking to Masamune for help, as Nobunaga, who stood at least 2 heads higher than them, stood in front of them, looking down with a dark aura.
Masamune glared back with his black eye. "We don't have to tell you anything…" he said, causing everyone to look his way in amazement of speaking to the head like that. Nobunaga glared and leaned down a little so he was level with Masamune,
"Yes you do. Because if you don't, I can have you…punished" he said the last word darkly, like a threat.
Masamune snorted, "Please, I've already been punished" he said pointing to his black eye, "Can I go and get some ice for this, it really stings" he explained as Nobunaga's eyes seemed to burn with rage.
Yukimura noticed and tugged on Masamune's arm, "Just tell him what happened!" he wailed, while Masamune rolled his injured eye at the youngers behaviour.
"Fine fine, I was just saying you could've got somebody else from our science class to explain while I got this treated" he mumbled before looking up to Nobunaga, who raised an eyebrow as if asking him to continue.
"It was chemistry and we were all being made to do this boring experiment…"
"All right Haruhisa…truth or DARE?" Masamune grinned to his lab partner who rolled his eyes.
"C'mon that's a girls game" he replied with an amused smile, while Masamune frowned and leant off the lab bench, picking up a test tube and shaking it uninterested as the blue liquid sloshed round.
"Still, beats chemistry though" he said putting the test tube down and turning to look at Haruhisa, who was thinking about it.
"True…" he agreed, "Dare" he added, trying to hide the excitement in his voice by returning his attention to the test tube Masamune had discarded.
Masamune grinned inwardly, he loved this game, because he loved dares. He hated the whole truth side of things…that part really was for girls.
"Okay, dare you to get the teachers car keys from her bag and throw them out of the window", suddenly somebody gasped behind them, causing the two to look to the right in shock.
Masamune looked Yukimura up and down as he spoke, "Oh hey…Yukimura" he said giving a small grin and the tiniest of winks, that Haruhisa raised an eyebrow at.
Yukimura stood frowning with his hands on his hips, his face now turning red. "Are you two playing dares again?" he asked trying to sound stern but coming across to Masamune as a cute lil house wife.
"Yeah, wanna join?" Masamune asked eagerly, thinking of all the things Yukimura would only DARE to do. But Yukimura shook his head,
"You're going to get into trouble!" he said, his face switching to concern. Masamune heard Haruhisa snicker behind him,
"So?" the light haired boy said rudely, to which Yukimura folded his arms, "Who worries about that stuff?" Haruhisa continued, shrugging and walking off to find the car keys.
Masamune smiled as Yukimura bit his lip nervously, "Well I hope he doesn't get caught…" the brown haired boy said tugging at his shirt.
"Don't worry…he won't" Masamune said, noticing that Yukimura wasn't even listening to him, he poked his nose.
"Sure you don't want to play?" he asked, obviously standing too close and making Yukimura flush red again, "N-no thanks…I've got to get back to my experiment" he mumbled, unable to look away from Masamune's eye, before he coughed and flipped round, walking off back to his table.
Masamune grinned to himself, Yukimura was too cute, worrying about his 'safety'. He leant against the lab desk and watched the test tube rack bored, 'I wonder if he's doing anything tonight…maybe we could to go the park again…or the movies…' Masamune's grin widened too much, so he wiped it off 'Yeah…the movies are nice and dark…'
Suddenly something metal slammed against the desktop, causing him to look at a victorious Haruhisa, "Done my dare!" he said casually picking them keys up off the table and throwing them out of the window over his shoulder.
"So now it's your turn!" the light haired one said, his eyes twinkling with mischievousness.
"Dare, hit me" Masamune said shrugging, knowing that Haruhisa already had one set up for him.
"Okay then…I dare you to kiss..." Haruhisa paused as he watched Masamune's reaction, which was currently a raised eyebrow.
"Yukimura…on the lips" Haruhisa grinned amused as Masamune's eyebrows lifted off his face,
"Are you insane?" Masamune asked, only making Haruhisa's troll grin grow wider. "I can't do that! Everyone will see! Give me something discreet like I did!" he protested, with a wide eye, looking at Yukimura over his shoulder.
Normally Masamune would've been fine with such a great dare, but in front of all his classmates and the teacher?
"You're not going to bail out on your first dare are you?" Haruhisa teased, "Because that would mean I win…" he said inspecting his nails. Masamune glowered at Haruhisa, the sneaky bastard, Masamune should've known Haruhisa would be able to pick up the small signs between Yukimura and himself.
"Fine…I'll do your stupid dare" he muttered, taking his time leaning off the lab desk and walking over, hearing Haruhisa snickering to himself. Masamune took a deep breath as he stood about a metre behind Yukimura, "Okay, here goes…" he said quietly to himself, before taking the final step towards Yukimura and turning him round by the shoulders.
"Masamune I thought you wer—" Yukimura's eyes went wide as Masamune kissed him softly on the lips, before he knew it he'd pulled away and half the class was staring at them.
Masamune watched Yukimura's cheeks become bright red and his mouth dropped open a little.
"Sorry…it was just a dar—" Masamune heard something smash on the floor around about the same time a fist collided with his face.
Then the teacher turned and saw what had happened, "Oh my God THAT'S BROMINE WATER! EVERYONE, EVACUATE THE LAB!" she yelled, waving her hands in the air as the students, ran for the exit.
"And so…we evacuated the lab and here we are" Masamune finished looked to the side, slightly embarrassed.
Nobunaga shook his head looking confused, "So how exactly did the bromine water spill?" he asked.
"I dropped it and used that hand to punch Masamune…" Yukimura sobbed, looking to Masamune, "Sorry…" he said sheepishly, to which Masamune sighed and smiled weakly, "It's okay…" he replied.
"So you're telling me…that whole lab was evacuated?" Nobunaga said irritated.
Masamune, held up a hand, "And the two classrooms next to the lab" he corrected while Nobunaga glared daggers at them.
"And how do the rest of them fit in with this?" he asked sternly, gesturing to the students cowering behind Masamune and Yukimura.
"They don't, they're not in our class" Masamune glared back, while Nobunaga's jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Y-you're all in for different reasons?" he asked amazed, while everyone nodded a little fearfully.
Nobunaga looked stunned, "…I'm going to need to sit down for this" he mumbled and walked back round to his desk, waving Masamune and Yukimura to go stand with the others.
"You two are having a day of exclusion" he said, Yukimura started to cry again while Masamune's face brightened. "You mean….together?" he asked hopefully.
"No" Nobunaga answered blankly, causing his face to fall again. He looked at the students again, sighing tiredly, "Okay…you go next…" he said pointing to Kasuga who was glaring at Sasuke with her burnt hair.
"I think hebetter explain it!" she said pointing to Sasuke, as Kojuro nodded in agreement, also glaring at Sasuke.
"C'mon you guys" he grinned slightly scared of them both, "I don't see why it was my fault…"
"HOW?" they both barked at him simultaneously, causing him to shrink a little.
"Come on, I haven't got all day…" Nobunaga said checking his watch, and waving the students forward.
They dragged Sasuke forward, which was easier for Kasuga than Kojuro, who had his hand stuck to Sasuke's.
"Ok, but before I start I feel like you should know, that none of this was my fa—"
"JUST TELL HIM" the two on Sasuke's either side silenced him instantly.
"Well…we were in Art and Design…and I was welding this chair together…"
Sasuke flicked the mask up to see the finished chair and smiled at the good job he'd done. It had a futuristic theme and resembled something from Metroid Prime.
"All right, I get to take this mask off!" he said to himself, removing the mask and putting it down on the floor, admiring the chair with pride. 'Surely it's an A+ grade!' he thought proudly.
"Hey Kojuro!" he shouted as he sat down in the chair grinning, "Look, I finished!" he shouted again, relaxing back in the surprisingly comfy chair, the welder still in hand.
A shadow fell over him, "Isn't that too hot to sit on?" he asked and Sasuke looked up grinning.
"What do you think?" he said gesturing to himself comfortably sat in the chair.
"Looks good though right!" he said posing with the welder.
Kojuro rolled his eyes, "Yes the CHAIR looks great- Hey watch what you're doing with that!" Kojuro said taking a step away from Sasuke who'd just accidently sprayed a flame from the welder in his hand.
"Sorry, forgot I was holding it!" Sasuke said in slight shock himself, then suddenly looking between the welder and Kojuro.
Kojuro watched suspiciously as Sasuke was obviously plotting something inside his head, "…whatever you're thinking about, don't do it…" Kojuro said cautiously taking a step towards Sasuke holding out his hand.
"Just give me the welder…" he said talking to Sasuke like a cop trying to coax a crazed gunner to hand over his weapon.
In response Sasuke took the welder in both hands, holding it like a gun. "Hands in the air!" he said grinning, to which Kojuro surprisingly did. Next second Kojuro had been backed against the desk Sasuke had been working at, the welder pointed at his neck.
"Sasuke what're you-"
"Who's the greatest person alive?"
Kojuro's eyes narrowed at Sasuke who grinned back.
"You're so immature…" Kojuro said as Sasuke prodded his neck with the welder, reminding him who had the upper hand.
"Ugh…Sasuke Saturobi…" he said resisting the urge to roll his eyes with all his strength.
"Really? Thanks Kojuro!" Sasuke said brightly enjoying acting like a kid, "That must mean you like them surely?"
Kojuro narrowed his eyes at the welder, cursing it's exsistence. "Yes…"
"You like them a lot?" Sasuke said wiggling his eyebrows.
"…yes…so much" Kojuro said sarcastically,
"So…you must love them more then anything right?" he said amused as Kojuro begrudgingly answered again.
"Yes more than anything else" he said putting heavy emphasis on 'anything' and 'else'.
"Oh good…" Sasuke purred, slipping his arms round Kojuros waist, with the welder pointing at Kojuro's lower back.
"So give me a kiss then" Sasuke said, his eyes twinkling with mischief.
Kojuro blinked a little shocked and shifted his hands so they were against the desk, leaning away as far as he could, unknowingly putting one of his hands on a tube of superglue…
"Aren't you a little too old for this?" Kojuro asked hopefully to which Sasuke laughed lightly,
"Age doesn't matter when it comes to love!"
"…you're holding me with a weapon pressed to my lower spine…" Kojuro said slowly.
Sasuke frowned slightly, "Love is also crazy" he snapped, "One kiss…" he said turning his face a little and offering Kojuro his cheek.
Kojuro sighed a little, realising this was the only way out burn free…he reached out and lightly took hold of Sasukes chin, before crushing their lips together roughly.
Kojuro had no idea why he hadn't just kissed Sasuke on the cheek like he'd offered, he had planned to in his head…but it didn't happen.
Sasuke on the other hand couldn't have been happier, Kojuro had even put his arms round him and he hadn't had to even threaten him with anything. Suddenly he felt Kojuro's tongue run along his lower lip, he was so surprised that once again he forgot he was holding a welder.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Luckily it didn't burn Kojuro!" Sasuke said brightly, as Kasuga glared at him, "But uhh…Kasuga walked past behind us at the wrong second…sorry…" he apologised giving a small wave.
Nobunaga watched with tired eyes wondering if he should just expel the students already and prevent future accidents. "Well…I should probably ban kissing in lessons…would solve both your problems…" Nobunaga said before sighing, "How did your hands get stuck together?"
"Kojuro was leaning a tube of super glue and it leaked out onto both our hands…" Sasuke explained holding up his and Kojuro's hands.
Kasuga held the burnt fringe in her hand, "You could've at least burnt the other side too! Now it's uneven!" she complained with a frown,
"Sorry…I'll aim properly next time!" Sasuke replied sarcastically.
They both shut up when Nobunaga raised his hand, "You two boys, detention after school" he said, Kojuro looked confused.
"B-but I didn't do anything!" he protested, to which Nobunaga smiled back sarcastically.
"Yes, but he could hardly go without you could he?" the head said pointing to their hands which were stuck together, "Now go switch with someone else" Nobunaga said waving them away.
"You have no idea how much I hate you right now" Kojuro muttered to Sasuke,
"You don't hate me, you said you loved me~"
The head teacher looked up at the two that looked like they'd been street fighting. "Okaaaay….who's going to tell me what happened…"
Mitsunari glared harshly at Keiji, who glared back but finally turned to tell him what happened.
"My favourite class, English, was ruined today by this idiot…"
Mitsunari sat bored in English, falling half asleep as all the students read out the poems they'd written as homework. Half of them were cringworthy love poems and the other half were just plain bad, Mitsunari had tuned out minutes ago. Now just watching the clock and waiting for the bell.
Then he noticed Magoichi was going to the front to read, realising it might be something worth listening to for once, he turned to face her, after all she was one of the more successful ones at English.
"Any time you're ready!" the teacher said kindly to Magoichi who just nodded.
"Okay, you'll notice the start to my poem is pretty famous but I felt the need to add to it since the last time somebody read it to me it sounded so bad…"
At this point everyone turned to look to Keiji who had his chin in his hands looking at Magoichi completely in his own world. Mitsunari felt himself scowl even more if that were possible, he didn't like Keiji. Keiji was almost as annoying as Ieyasu…almost…the way he expressed his so called love for Magoichi, he needed to get over it. It was to the point where it was almost sickening…any fool could see Magoichi didn't want her and any other fool could see the one who did want him, Kotaro. Mitsunari thought that Keiji was being plain selfish forcing himself on Magoichi and completely ignoring Kotaro…
"Ok…so here I go" Magoichi said coughing before beginning to read from her paper.
"Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, And so are you—"
There was a pause as Keiji sighed too loudly and Mitsunari and Magoichi glared at the same time.
"But the roses are wilted, The violets are dead, Sugar is lumpy, And so is your head"
A few students giggled and the teacher frowned at the lack of effort put into the poem, "How long did you spend on this poem Miss Sai—KEIJI, would you please sit down!"
As Keiji stood up he knocked over a chair and desk onto Mitsunari's foot, who was now cursing.
"SHE WROTE ME A POEM" he yelled far too loudly for people in Australia's taste.
"Watch what you're doing you selfish moron" Mitsunari growled, squirting an entire ink cartridge at Keiji when he turned to look at him. Keiji looked at the massive ink stain on his shirt before grabbing one of his own cartridges and squirting Mitsunari back. Infuriated Mitsunari proceeded to attack Keiji…
Not wanting to hear anymore Nobunaga simply held up his hand, "Isolation for the both of you" he said, pointing and watching them walk back to the small crowd.
"Now the last lot of you…" Nobunaga said as Ieyasu, Oichi, Rye, Motochika and Motonari all walked forward covered in paint.
"I can pretty much guess what happened to you…paint fight was it?" Nobunaga asked, as the students nodded shamefully.
"Uh huh…all of you, after school detention…" the head teacher said and Motonari glared, having trying and just failed to make it through school without detention.
"Well is that it?" Nobunaga said hopefully, while Rye bit her lip, looking as the clock was about to strike two.
Nobunaga sighed with relief, "Thank God for that. Now I don't like talking to my students like this, don't ruin the school, don't do it again, you know the usual yadda yadda yadda…" he said shooing them from his office and shutting the door.
Outside the door Rye quickly ran over to the nearest clock and started counting down from 30.
Motonari noticed and frowned slightly wiping some green paint from his arm, Motochika looked over to Rye, also puzzled before realisation spread across his face.
"Oh…..my…..God…." he muttered his eye wide open, as he looked up at the light before walking to the side of the hallway, away from it. Motonari and the others watched him confused, as Motochika was now looking up at a TV announcer with worry in his eyes.
"What's happening now?" Motonari said slightly tired from all of the nonsense, "I don't want you to get me into trouble again…"
"I won't I promise…but uhh…" Motochika turned and pointed to Rye, "She will"
Suddenly the bell started to ring and Rye also leant against the wall away from the lights, "JUST LEAN AGAINST THE WALL" Rye yelled over the noise of the school bell.
The other students utterly confused leant against the walls just as the bell stopped ringing. And suddenly the lights became brighter and brighter and brighter, before they all began to burst in order, glass shattering everywhere as the TV was over-ridden with power.
After everything had settled a door was heard being kicked open and Nobunaga lit up his face with a torch from lack of bad lighting through the windows.
"ALL RIGHT. WHO THE HELL DID THIS?"
Three hours later, Rye was finally allowed to leave the office and go to join everyone in one of the classrooms.
As soon as she walked in she was tackled to the ground by two angry one-eyed demons.
"YOU IDIOT!" Masamune yelled, holding down one of her arms, "Wh-what?" Rye asked confused, looking to Motochika, "I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU DID!" he growled, holding down her other arm.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Rye asked while Motonari walked over and glared down at her, still covered in paint. "Is she being serious? I can't tell" he said with a glare, he crouched down next to Rye.
"You have succeeded in locking us in the school all night" he glared, "Congratulations, you idiot" Motonari finished before walking off and sitting on a desk facing the window.
Rye wore a confused face again, "Say what? I didn't do that!" she protested.
"ACTUALLY YES YOU DID!" Sasuke shouted over calmly from the desk where Kojuro and he were trying to cut their hands apart and failing miserably.
Masamune frowned, "Because you over-rode the schools electricity, you also succeeded in over-riding the school gates" Rye's eyes widened, "Oh ho! Now she realises what she's done" Masamune said getting up and walking back to Yukimura, kicking over a desk as he went.
Rye looked into space for a second before looking up at Motochika, "Did I reall-"
"Yes" he said, still glaring at her.
Rye nodded and spaced out for a second before turning her head to glare back at him, "Well don't act so surprised, you helped me with the powerstation break-in!" she said a little too loudly. A chair scraped on the floor as Motonari walked back over,
"Is this true Motochika?" he asked raising an eyebrow as Motochika looked away mumbling something inaudible,
"I'm sorry, I missed that…" Motonari said, turning Motochika's head so he faced him.
"Yes I helped her! I'm sorry!" Motchika said pouting, while Motonari let go of his chin.
"Should've known she'd be too stupid to do it alone" he concluded earning an insulted 'hmph' from Rye.
"Well in that case…I'm sorry" Rye said truthfully, standing up and brushing herself off, "It's not like I did it on purpose…why would I want to spend a night in school?"
"Same reason you blew the lights out!" Kasuga shouted from the back of the classroom and began walking over.
"Did you know I had plans for tonight?" she snapped stomping over to Rye, who started to back up as the angry blonde closed in.
"No! I swear I didn't and I'm really sorry Kasuga!" she said as she hit the wall with her back and Kasuga finally closed in.
"Who do you have a date with? Kenshiiin?" Keiji sang. Kasuga turning her glare from Rye to Keiji while the red-head snuck off out the door and away from everyone who seemed to be mad at her.
"So what if I did?" Kasuga said folding her arms,
"Betcha he's going try and get you into bed, since he's so much older than you!" Keiji smirked lecherously while Kasuga blushed furiously.
"K-kenshin's not like that at all! Besides, I probably won't even let him near enough to touch me with a barge pole" she said definatly folding her arms.
"BUT I BET YOU'VE SAT ON HIS BARGE POLE!" Sasuke yelled at the top of his lungs form the back of the classroom, before he chuckled and held up his hand to Kojuro, "Hi-five right bro?"
But Kojuro just glared in response, so Sasuke lifted the hand that was glued to Kojuro's and hi-fived that hand instead.
"Yeah!" Sasuke said still grinning at his own joke, before noticing a fuming Kasuga coming towards him. His eyes widened, "Come on Kojuro, time to go!" Sasuke mumbled before bolting for the door, dragging a irritated Kojuro behind with Kasuga in hot pursuit.
After seeing the other exit from the classroom so quickly, Magoichi double-checked the entrance before walking in cautiously. Upon spotting Keiji, she walked out again, but it was too late.
"Hey beautiful, I loved that poem you wrote for me!" Keiji said with shining eyes as he wandered out after his siren.
Now it was just Motochika and Motonari left alone in the classroom. Motochika calmly leant against a desk and looked over to Motonari, wondering if he should go talk to him. He decided to go sit on the desk next to Mouri's anyway, so he could look out the window he convinced himself…despite the fact his eye kept wandering back to Mouri.
"I can't believe you…" Motonari mumbled
"Huh?" Motochika said surprised as he didn't think Motonari was going to talk.
"Why would you help her break into the power station? I mean really why would you do that? It's stupid!" Motonari said, still staring out of the window.
Motochika looked out of the window too, "I don't know…she's my friend and she wanted my help…I didn't know it was going to result in us being locked in school" he said truthfully.
"You must have known it was going to over-ride the electricity though"
Motochika looked across to Mouri who was now staring at him, "Yeah…I did…" he said cautiously, Mototnari frowned.
"So then why'd you do it?"
"Because she's my friend I told you!" Motochika said smiling slightly at Motonari's stubbornness.
"Hmmm…" Motonari said, beginning to study Motochika's eyes for something and making the one-eyed boy a little uncomfy.
"By the way…" Motonari began still looking into Motochika's eyes with a light frown. "Why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden?"
Motochika felt his heart skip a little and he chuckled nervously, "Hey, it's not a crime to talk to someone!" he said but Motonari wasn't convinced.
"If you're looking for a tutor for Maths you can forget it, I cannot stand being around you" he said gesturing to the paint which covered his usually spotless clothes and looking out of the window again.
Normally Motochika's heart would've felt like it'd been kicked from that insult but he'd long since got over it.
"Oh come on Motonari…I saw you smiling when you threw that purple paint at Rye!" Motochika said grinning at Motonari, imagining his face because he couldn't see it because of his brown hair.
Motonari was actually smiling a little himself, "So, it doesn't mean I enjoyed it. Maybe you were seeing things" he said trying not to make his voice sound excited. Truth was, it had been pretty fun, a nice change from the calm pace of art lessons…sure his art piece may have been ruined, but who cares. It was pretty abstract anyway.
"No way! You were smiling I saw!" Motochika said, causing Motonari to think he was talking about right now and put his regular emotionless stare back on his face.
"Well I didn't like receiving that detention…" he said bored again.
"Hey, it could be worse, did you hear what Yukimura and Masamune g—"
"Yes I did" Motonari said, now turning his whole body to face Motochika, "But you keep evading my question…why are you being so nice to me?"
Motochika felt his heart skip again as he opened his mouth about to lie, but when he looked in Motonari's eyes he thought it was best not to.
"Truth is…I think you're lonely…" Motochika said, looking at his hands, fiddling with fingers.
"Y-you think I'm lonely…" Motonari said, followed by a short insecure laugh. "I'm not lonely!" he said running a hand through his hair, retracting it as he felt the paint which was stuck there.
Motochika was about to add something else but Rye burst back into the room.
"Look what someone wiped from the staff room!" she shouted holding up a pack of cards and a bag of chips.
"Awesome!" Masamune said, surprising Motochika as he'd forgotten about he and Yukimura being in the room then feeling suddenly relieved he hadn't added anything to Motonari's conversation.
"We can play poker!" Masamune grinned, down to Yukimura "Strip poker…"
"Oh no…I am not playing that in a room with you two and Sasuke. It's a recipe for doom" Rye said.
"How about if we got Oichi?" Masamune suggested.
"Wh-what's that meant to mean?"
"It's pretty obvious…"
"H-how do you play poker?" The sound of Motonari's voice drew Motochika's attention to him,
"You don't know how to play?" Motochika asked ignoring the conversation behind him now.
Motonari shook his head slightly, "Gambling isn't something I like, I prefer facts" he admitted with a tiny smile causing Motochika to smile too.
"Oh, seems just like you…" Motochika said looking out the window.
Motonari watched him turn, still smiling, "Why?"
"Because gambling's fun—hey!" Motochika said gripping to the desk and trying not to fall off as Motonari had pushed him quite hard.
"I'm not boring!" he protested, frowning and turning to walk over to Rye who was currently teaching Yukimura how to play too, sitting down and demanding to be taught.
Motochika stared at Motonari for a few seconds, sighing because he hadn't told him what he wanted to. Next there was a hand waving in front of his face trying to get his attention.
"Motochika?"
"Y-yeah?" he replied, looking up at Masamune.
"I've been saying your name for what felt like hours…I'm going to find the others? Join me?" Masamune asked although it was more of a demand.
"Sure" Motochika replied casually following him out of the classroom, taking one last glance at Motonari from the corner of his eye and feeling shocked to see him staring at his back.
"So….why exactly did you attack Keiji?" Ieyasu asked curiously.
Mitsunari looked back at Ieyasu blankly, "I told you…because he practically threw that chair and desk on my foot…"
"…I think Masamune did that once before too and you didn't attack him" Ieyasu countered.
Mitsunari frowned, "Well he's bigger than me isn't he…" he sneered, causing Ieyasu to laugh.
"No…what's the real reason?" he asked while Mitsunari looked at him confused,
"How did you know I was…lying" he asked before shaking his head, "The real reason is because I don't like him okay?" he explained, putting his feet on the chair and tucking his knees to his chest.
"He's a bit like you, so it makes sense" Mitsunari explained and Ieyasu smiled weakly at the hurtful joke.
"…it's because he's so obsessed by love and then because he just doesn't get it…for example, he can't see Kotaro's in love with him and he keeps trying to force himself on Magoichi…he's just being selfish…" Mitsunari said wrinkling his nose up.
"Well maybe he can't see it…sometimes things are best seen through anothers eyes" Ieyasu said sounding familiar to something Mitsunari had heard before.
"How can he not see it?" Mitsunari chuckled slightly, "It's so obvious!"
Ieyasu shook his head, "Maybe to us it is, but to him it might not be" Mitsunari nodded thoughtfully as Masamune and Motochika entered the classroom.
"Hey, we're playing poker, want to join us?" the one-eyed one's asked and Ieyasu nodded.
"Joining me?" Ieyasu asked Mitsunari as the other two turned to go.
Mitsunari looked at Ieyasu's hand and up to his eyes, "I…no." he said, "I'm fine here" he explained and Ieyasu looked at him doubtfully as they were in an empty classroom.
"Suit yourself" Ieyasu said evenly, despite the fact he'd hoped Mitsunari would have said yes.
But when he reached the door he felt a hand on his shoulder, Ieyasu turned to see Mitsunari, "Changed my mind" he said looking at the floor and Ieyasu smiled, a little communication is all it takes…
Review? Nah, you probably won't xDDD Hope you liked it though...
