Chapter 2: 2nd Meeting!

About 2 weeks later...

"Hey, isn't that...?" Ayumi bursted out loud when she saw Rui walking down on a street.

"Oh yea, it's that Rui guy!" said Noburi.

"Who?" wondered Aimi and Michiyo.

"Oh, Rui was the guy who we bummed into and dirtied his shirt the other day!" Ayumi explained.

"Damn, such hottie..." whispered Michiyo.

"Yes. But he's still a bit mysterious..." thought Ayumi as she whispered back to Michiyo.

"Hey...He's leaving..." said calmly Aimi.

"Ah!" gasped Ayumi, and she started running after him.

"Hey Ayu! Wait for us!!!" screamed Noburi, and her 3 best friends started chasing after her.

"Wait up, Rui!"

Rui heard his name, quickly turned around.

"Wait! I need to talk to you!" said Ayumi with heavy breaths. She's been running so fast to catch up to Rui quickly that she forgot her friends were running after her.

"Don't you remember me?!" Ayumi asked as she knew the wondering look on Rui's face and in his beautiful eyes.

"You're that girl..." Rui answered slowly, as he was apathetic. "...from the other day."

"Uhh...that's very descriptive. Thank you." Ayumi spoke while giving a face with such expressions to Rui. But suddenly, she stamped her right foot and pointed at Rui: "But...I have a name and I would like you to call me by that name! It's Ayumi Hideyoshi! Ayumi for the path I choose and Hideyoshi for the good sun! Thank you very much!" After she finished talking, Ayumi bowed.

"All right, Hideyoshi! What do you need?!" asked Rui Hanazawa.

"Nothing, sir! We just want to invite you for a meal, may we?" asked Ayumi, politely.

"No, thanks."

"Hey, you already rejected her last time! There won't be any more exceptions this time, okie?!" bursted out loud by Noburi, who was breathing heavily while the other two were right behind her.

Rui stared at them, especially Ayumi. Ayumi was staring at her friends, who she forgot that she left them behind and ran off to a guy.

"Yumi, is this the guy you guys are talking to?" asked Michiyo.

"He sure looks familiar," said Aimi, who were always attached to Michiyo like real sisters, "I think I might have seen him somewhere before..."

"Yeah, that's what Bu said too, but she's so dumb to remember." Ayumi joked, giving a look at Noburi, who didn't understand a word she said.

"Haha! Yea, that's her, all right!" Michiyo supported Ayumi. They started laughing. Aimi giggled.

"Whatever! Like my brain cells are strong enough like yours, Miss Yumi Smartie Pants!" It seems like Noburi got a little unhappy with the laughter from her friends when the target was her. "And also, I told you not to call me Bu anymore! If you do, I'll get real pissed, and I'll hit you!"

Ayumi said nothing but smiled. Then, she turned to Rui, who was watching them fight the whole time. Once again.

"Sorry. She's like that. Forgive her. Can you come with us for a meal?"

"I have to go."

"Hey..." Noburi and Michiyo said out loud.

"Fine. But you guys have 15 minutes, all right?!" Rui gave up.

"Aiy yai ya, sir!" answered Ayumi. Even though she knew 15 minutes isn't that much, but she was happy that he finally accepted.
