There's an omake below, got te idea from Shiro Kishi.. Hee, do enjoy as this is the last chappie for the story! You're way behind,
Karis!
I packed my books and looked out the window. It was getting quite windy. I smiled to myself. Sakura were dancing with the wind, following wherever it was bringing them. I'm going to do the same; I'm going to do whatever my heart tells me to. I took a deep breath before swinging my school bag across my shoulder. My heart beat faster by the seconds as I walked nearer and nearer to the Sakura tree. There was where I met her…
"Come out, come out wherever you are…" A girl with short pink hair hunted around the bushes for her blonde friend. They were playing a game of hide-and-seek, but apparently she had no idea where to start searching for her friend."Oh, Haruka-chan!!" She saw a girl with aquamarine hair passed by. She was holding a drawing block in one hand and her pencils in the other. "Excuse me, miss."
"Hm?"
"Have you spotted an animal-like-human around here? I mean like a tall blonde, with emerald eyes… Have you?" The taller girl giggled.
"You are funny. But no, I haven't seen anyone like that around here."
"Well, then. Thanks anyways." With that said, she bowed to the artist and ran into another direction. The aquamarine hair girl looked up in awe. The Sakura tree before her was magnificent; she could turn this into her masterpiece. She reached out to touch the tree, smiling to herself. It was then something dropped down from above her.
"Aaah!" Luckily she managed to dodge the 'thing' in time, which landed hard on her right ankle. "I-I'm so sorry!" She looked up and saw a tall handsome blonde blushing. At least he was kind enough to help her back onto her feet. "Does it hurt?" He looked down onto her swollen ankle. "It looks painful from here." He said thoughtfully even before she could reply.
"I-It's alright. It's just a slight bruise. What are you doing up there anyway?" She looked at the figure before her, scanning him from head to toe."Wait, you're that animal-like-human that the pink hair girl just told me about." She said in amusement.
"Yeah, so I've heard." He grinned. "Are you new here?"
The shorter of the both nodded in response. "I just arrived here this afternoon."
"Oh, well… I'm Tennou Haruka." He extended his hand towards her.
"You're a handsome young chap, aren't you?" Haruka looked down onto the ground upon that comment. It wasn't like the first time he heard it before but somehow when it came from this girl, he oculdn't help but felt embarrassed. "Kaiou Michiru." The blonde paused with a confused look on his face.
"The famous violinist??"
"Eh? You listen to classics? You don't look like the type to me." She joked. Her eyes were suddenly locked on the running figure behind Haruka. "And it looks like your girlfriend's back again."
"Huh?" Haruka turned around. "She's not my girlfriend, we're cousins." He chuckled. "I have to get going now and oh, sorry again for that." He pointed at her ankle and winked. He brushed pass her like the wind. "For your information, I'm a girl. Later!" She ran off, leaving a very dumbfounded girl behind.
"I still don't know why I told her my true gender on the 1st meeting." I smiled to myself as I remembered what happened under that tree. I felt so comfortable that I even told her that unconsciously.
"Tennou? What are you still doing here? I have to lock the doors already!" I felt a pat on my shoulder and turned around. It was the class monitor. He could be so irritating sometimes! "And I've heard that you broke up with Yuki, right?" Wow, news about me did spread fast enough nowadays. I just hope Michiru knew that, or has she found out already?
"That's none of your concern. There are still other people here so why are you picking on…" I trailed off as I noticed there were only the both of us in the class. "Me." I lifted and eyebrow as I faced him, feeling kind of embarrassed. "I'm the only one left?" He sighed and nodded. "I'm sorry, I'll be going now." I ran out feeling like a 13 year old kid who had just seen her 1st porn.
I ran as fast as I could. Probably Michiru was already waiting there for quite some time now. I panted heavily as I reached for the exit and to the Sakura tree. I was glad to see her there, still waiting for my arrival. "Pant… Pant… Am I late?" I balanced myself with the tree bark.
"Iie, I just got here anyway." It was so obvious to me that she's lying. She would never be late for anything. I caught my breath and stood straight, facing her with seriousness written all over my face. "So… What is this meeting for?" She asked, blushing. Did she know? I took out a tiny box from my pants pocket. It was wrapped in sea blue wrapping paper, her favourite colour.
"F-For you…" Her blush deepened as she accepted my gift with both her hands. "Open it." She unwrapped the paper, letting it fall onto the ground. Without hesitating, she opened the chest-like box. I looked away. Does she like it? It was then I heard a gasp and I looked up. She had tears in her eyes, but tears of joy or tears of sadness? "Like it?" She took out the mini Stradivarius violin silver necklace that I bought for her. She practically threw her arms around me, embracing me tightly. My eyes widen.
"Thank you, oh thank you so much, Ruka! It's beautiful!" She kissed me fully on the lips. I froze. What am I to do? She caught me off guard and I haven't even told her anything yet. I closed my eyes, deepening the kiss as I pressed her head closer to mine.
"I-I'm sorry!" I broke the kiss after realizing my own actions.
"I love you…" She said thoughtfully.
"But… B-But how? When? You, Seiya… I mean-" I was stammering. I thought she and Seiya were dating… Weren't they?
"Seiya?" I nodded my head vigorously. "Oh, come on, Haruka. He's just my best friend."
"Huh?"
"He's gay, for God's sake!" My eyes widen in surprise as another blush crept onto my cheeks. "I've loved you since the 1st time I met you, Haruka…"
"I-I…" I was speechless. First thing I knew was rushing here, wanting to tell her how I feel and here she was, confessing to me. Why was everything happening the opposite way? She must have noticed my reaction as I heard the necklace dropped onto the grass. Was she disappointed? Was she sad? When I looked up, she had already turned her back to me, ready to run away. "Wait." I caught her wrist. Time seemed to stop for us as a think wall of silence surrounded us. I did the only thing I have always wanted to do. I pulled her into my arms and kissed her again, this time with me leading. She stood on her toes and leant into the kiss as I did before. "I love you too…" I said breathlessly. "I have always loved you, it's just that you never knew…" She snuggled into my embrace.
"And now I do…" She said softly.
"And I'm glad you do…" I replied, running my fingers through her beautiful, wavy hair. "I was so jealous that Seiya get to go to the prom with you every year…"
"Baka." I heard her whispering and I chuckled inwardly. "I told you, he's gay…"
"I just found out." I smiled. We stood there for a moment, enjoying the feeling of being in each others' arms. I have longed for this moment since the moment I lay my eyes on you, Michi… I reluctantly broke the embrace and picked up the fallen necklace. "Turn around." She obeyed. I placed the string around her neck and clipped it, my grin never fading. "Happy Valentine's Day, Michi…" I kissed her again and again all over her flushed cheeks. "Care to finally go to the prom with me this year?" I emphasized.
"Of course…" She replied, taking my hands in her own. "It seems that this tree brought us together, ne?" I smiled.
"Hai…" She leant on my shoulder as we walked back to our room.
-Omake-
Michiru: "What are you doing, Ruka-love?"
Haruka: "N-Nothing!" (Quickly closed the gold-covered book)
Michiru: "Are you reading something you should not?" (Rested her chin on Haruka's shoulder, twirling Haruka's blonde hair)
Haruka: "Nope, ma'am!"
Michiru: "Are you sure?" (Haruka nods her head vigorously)
Haruka: "Come on, let's get to bed already. You have to wake Hime-chan for school tomorrow, don't you?" (Jumps into bed, quickly pulling the covers over her)
Michiru: "We have done that for a long time, Ruka…" (Lay beside Haruka, kissing her neck)
Haruka: "Not now, Michi, the readers are still here." (Michiru turns to face you)
Michiru: "Stop interfering with our life!"
Haruka: "Ugh, why do we even care about them? (Pounced on her lover and started kissing her all over) Go read another story rather than keep your asses here, there's no scene here for you guys!" (Yelling at you)
How was it? Did the ending suck? I'm so sorry it took me so long to finish this... But still, i finished didn't i?
