Extremely sorry for the extremely late update! On the bright side, at least I updated! Thank you for your reviews of the last chapter and/or reading it! Please R&R for this one as well! Criticism welcome!
As before, I do not own anything but my OC.
"Kirihara-kun, you're late," Yukimura-san said with his usual kind and caring smile.
"Late? How can I be late when I ended practice early just like you told me to! Besides, you never told me when to be here so it's your fault," exclaimed I.
Yukimura-san just chuckled. "Still the same as always, Kirihara-kun. "
Sanada-san walked in then, surprising me. "Sanada-san! What are you doing here?"
I just received this stony look. "Sorry, Kirihara-kun, I just felt he should be involved in your romantic affairs. After all, he is the one who knocked some sense into you when you first joined," Yukimura-san chuckled.
Pure shock filled my face. "W-w-what? You've got to be kidding me!" I slammed my fist down on the table. "I am not having any romantic affairs! The girl I want to talk about is just getting on my nerves!"
A chuckle from Yukimura-san and a cold look from Sanada-san later, the whole team had arrived! Obviously this did not bode well with me since the only person I wanted to talk to is Yukimura-san!
"Kirihara-kun, why do you seem so mad? I did not do anything wrong, did I," Yukimura-san asked. I didn't reply. "Well, I'll take that as a no. So, you can begin telling everyone the story, what you need help with, and we will help you. Just like old times!"
Glaring at everyone, I refused to speak. This was not what I wanted!
"Bakaya! Get on with it! We don't have all day," exclaimed Marui-san as he hit me on the head.
"Ow! Don't hit me! Just, hold on, I didn't even want to tell all of you in the first place," Sighing, I decided there was nothing that I could do about this situation so I might as well give in.
Everyone except Sanada-san and Yukimura-san leaned forward in anticipation. And so, I began to tell them everything. Everything about how no matter what Yumiko-chan does she still manages to annoy. About our almost friendship and how I had ruined any chance of that from the time we met until now. Absolutely everything. By the time I was done, Marui-san and Niou-san were laughing at me; Jackal-san was refraining from laughing while Yagyuu-san merely pushed his glinting glasses up. Yanagi-san, well, was Yanagi-san. He didn't really react all too much like the others. Sanada-san sat there with the same facial expression he had on when he entered and Yukimura-san had on his normal smile.
"Stop laughing! It is not funny," I yelled. And yet, the two buffoons kept right on laughing!
Bakaya… I cannot… believe… that this is your… emergency!"
Then Niou-san joined in after Marui-san. "Aww, look at him Marui-kun! He's red all over! It must be from love!"
"I am not!"
"Yes you are!"
By themselves they are hard to deal with, but together it's absolutely unbearable! Why did Yukimura-san have to tell them?
"Well, I think that's enough laughing at Kirihara-kun. For now anyways," once again Yukimura-san chuckled. He, also, seemed highly amused by this, but at least everyone stopped laughing.
Grumbling, I said. "I don't even see why there was any reason to laugh in the first place!"
"Kirihara-kun," Yukimura-san said. "It's because the solution is so blatantly obvious. You like her despite your protests!"
"No, I don't! Yukimura-san, I already told you that!"
In unison, everyone including Sanada said. "DENIAL!" Even people around the coffee shop muttered it! Why are people so annoying and nosy?
"Anyways, Kirihara-kun, you should definitely invite her to your teams next tournament. If you don't like her, like you keep saying, then you won't get distracted. If you do, which is where my bet is, then I'm deeply sorry," With that Yukimura-san stood up and began walking towards the door.
I'm sure I must have looked confused. "Sorry? About what," I asked.
Yukimura-san merely chuckled. "Why? Because you will most likely lose, that's why. Bye Kirihara-kun."
"Lose? If I would most likely lose then why would I invite her," by now pure anger showed, this was getting me nowhere!
Still laughing, Marui passed by hitting me on my back. "Later Bakaya," And he walked out the door along with everyone else, leaving me standing there in my rage.
"Listen kid," I turn to find the guy behind the register chuckling. "Sounds to me as if you like this girl. If you invite her, she'll distract you and you will lose so your best bet is to not invite her."
"You're wrong! I won't lose even if she's there! And I'm not a kid!"
I run out of the store in my rage. People are all wrong! I don't like Yumiko-chan and I'm going to prove it! So, whether she likes it or not she is coming to the next tournament! Finally having decided on my course of action, I set out to complete it. The next tournament is in one week.
Thanks for reading! Don't know when I'll have the next chapter up but it will be up! Once again, please Review! Please!
