Chapter 15

Saori's feelings

Takeshi Sogen was sitting at one of the branches on top of the tree looking out into the sky.

"I'm…..a regular member….will you be proud of me?"

"Taki." Takeshi looked down and saw Tezuka with a smile she jumped down from the tree.

"What is it Kuni-kun?"

"Congratulations."

"Congratulations for what Kuni-kun?" Taki looked at Tezuka with an innocent smile on her face.

"Congratulations on becoming a regular member of the girl's team." Taki smiled and hugged Tezuka.

Saori who was looking for Miyu saw from a distance Tezuka but before she could call for him Saori realized that Tezuka was with Taki while Taki hugged Tezuka.

"What's this feeling…Why do I feel this way?" Unsure if she felt hurt at the fact that she saw Taki hugging Tezuka and that Tezuka as if he didn't mind the hug. Saori stepped back and recalled what she and Fuji talked about yesterday.

xxxxFLASHBACKxxxx

Saori felt a bit of awkward at the silence since whenever Fuji would walk her home they would have conversations and laughter along with it. When they were near the river Saori decided to try and break the silence.

"Ne Syusuke-kun? Why are you serious anyway?" But not a mere sound came out of his lips. Saori pouted and grabbed Fuji's arm. "What's your problem anyway? This isn't like you! Tell me did I do anything wrong?"

"Gomen Saori." Fuji sighed while Saori looked at Fuji curiously. "Let's sit here." Fuji ushered Saori to sit at the grassy ground near the river; once sited Saori looked at the color of the river as it mimicked the color of the setting sun.

"You like Tezuka don't you?" Surprised at the statement Saori looked at Fuji but immediately looked at the other direction.

"No."

"Don't deny it Saori I know how you look at him."

"I don't like him alright and why bring up the topic anyway?"

"Because you'll just get hurt in the end if you fall for him."

"I won't fall for him besides Tezuka-kun is not my type."

"What about your ex-boyfriend?"

"Their two different people, Tezuka-kun's much more stoic and dense as my ex. This is silly I'm going on ahead." Saori stood up and started to walk away from Fuji who remained in his position looking at the disappearing sun.

"You're mind can deny but you're heart can't lie."

xxxxEND OF FLASHBACKxxxx

"Let's go Taki." Saori heard and saw that Tezuka was walking towards the corner she's hiding and quickly enough she hid behind the tree and as soon as she didn't see Tezuka anymore she sighed in relief.

"Buchou what are you doing?" Saori squealed in surprised and saw that it was Yuffie.

"Arigatou Kami-sama, It's just you Yuffie I thought it was a ghost or something." Yuffie giggled as she helped Saori stand up.

"What were you doing Orihara-buchou?"

"Saori. I prefer you call me Saori instead Yuffie. And you want to know what I was doing well I was hiding."

"Who are you hiding from?"

"I person I hope I'm not in love with."

"Really! How cute! Who's the guy?"

"It's nobody."

"Is it Tezuka-niichan?"

"How did you know it was him!"

"That was a guess but thanks for confirming it for me."

"Please I beg you don't tell your twin Yuri about it!" Saori grabbed Yuffie's shoulder while crying dramatically. "She'll rip my skin from the inside out if she finds out that I might actually like Tezuka-kun"

"I won't tell Yuri-nee I promise Saori-buchou."

"Arigatou Yuffie you're so much nicer than your twin." Yuffie laughed as she was used to being stated that she was much nicer than Yuri. Hearing the bell Yuffie and Saori walked back into the building and headed to their respective classroom.

During the whole math period Saori couldn't seem to concentrate and kept on looking at Tezuka.

"Psstt…" Aya passed a piece of paper to Saori in which the latter took and read it.

"You seem to be spaced out, is there a problem? - Aya" Saori wrote back and gave it back to Aya.

"Just thinking…. Hey how can you tell when a person is in love? -Saori" Aya looked behind her to look at Saori before writing back and passing it once again.

"Well for one thing you're heart beats fast when you look at the person you like and you can't stop thinking about him or you keep on looking at him. -Aya" But before Saori could write back the teacher took the paper and read it.

'CRAP!'

'We're so dead.'

"Orihara-san and Hiro-san why not take your conversation outside the classroom." With that Saori and Aya were now standing outside of the classroom both looked at each other and chuckled.

"So Saori are you in love with him?"

"I don't know…..I'm really confused…."

"Maybe you should try and ask him out and maybe it might clear your feelings for him?"

"Were talking about him Aya-chan; and we both know that he is the most serious guy in school and probably the densest person we've both met."

"Just give it a try."

"Fine."

Tezuka and Oishi were inside one of the classroom discussing; while Takeshi was changing from her jersey into her school uniform.

"Ta-taki-chan…. Anou….Grandma wanted me to ask what's your size?"

"….for what?..."

"Fo-for your jersey since you're officially one of the regulars now that's why she asked me to get it-" Takeshi walked pass Sakuno after getting her bag. "For….her….Ta-taki-chan.."

"Small…." With that Taki went out of the changing room.

"I wonder if Kuni-kun is already waiting for me at the gate I have to hurry." Taki muttered to herself.

Oishi has just finished reviewing the training menu that Inui gave while Tezuka finished some student council paperworks.

"Ne Tezuka…. What's your really relationship with Takeshi Sogen-san?"

Tezuka turned his attention into Oishi and raised an eyebrow wondering why Oishi asked such a question. "We're just friends." Tezuka returned his attention into what he was doing.

"But you seem to show her sides of you that even I haven't seen. Like the hug you two shared earlier today." Tezuka stopped from writing while Oishi sighed.

"You saw?"

"Hai but by accident I was looking for you and I saw you two together, so tell me do you like her?" Tezuka fixed his paperwork and placed them inside his bag. "Oi Tezuka!" Walking towards the door Tezuka slung his bag into his shoulder but before opening the door he stopped and sighed before answering.

"Aa." With that said Tezuka opened the door but was surprised to see Saori.

"Ah Tezuka-kun you gave me a fright. I was just looking for Ryuzaki-sensei have you seen her?"

"Did you hear?"

"Hear what?" Saori looked at Tezuka innocently.

"Nothing." Tezuka walked pass Saori and went to meet Taki at the gate.

"Saori-chan. Ryuzaki-sensei is at the faculty I remembered she said that they have a staff meeting."

"Arigatou Oishi-kun. Ja ne!" Saori walked out of the school building and saw that Taki and Tezuka were just about to leave.

Yuri on the other hand was looking for a certain brown haired Tensai while Yuffie tagged along with her.

"Yuri-nee who are we looking for anyway?"

"That guy who has a slightly long brown hair I think his name was Fuji Syu-"

"Looking for me?" Both Yuri and Yuffie were surprised at the sudden appearance of the tensai.

"Uuhhh…yeah I just wanted to ask you something?"

"Nani?"

"What's the color of your eye?"

"Blue, doushite?"

"Just asking right Yuffie?" Yuri slammed her elbow at Yuffie's waist lightly before Yuffie nodded in agreement.

"By the way Yuri-san, have you seen Saori anywhere?"

"No why are you looking for her?"

"I know where Saori-buchou is I saw her outside the school building she seemed to be spaced out when she saw Tezuka-niichan with someone?"

"WHAT! Who Yuffie!" Yuri shouted near Yuffie while Fuji immediately ran towards the school building but did not find Saori anywhere.

"Where could she be? -!" Fuji ran towards a playground near his house and saw Saori sitting on one of the swings; he slowly approached her. Realizing someone standing in front of her Saori tilted her head to face the person.

"Ne syusuke-kun what is this I feel? I don't understand….. When I saw them together I felt kind a hurt and jealous…. And when I heard Tezuka-kun say that he likes Taki-chan….. I felt like my heart was hit by something hard…."

"You like him.."

"…. I don't want it….but my heart just won't stop falling for him…" Slowly tears started to form in those green orbs. "And now I feel hurt at the fact that I just got dump indirectly." Fuji wrapped his arms around Saori who just continued and let those tears of hurt fall along with the dark taking over the sun.
