Watching Chapter 5
Disclaimer: I own none of the Hana Kimi characters
The next chap. will be about what happens with the contest, but not this one, sorry! I had to explain more stuff, and I am still not certain who Mizuki will be. I think I'm choosing a girl part for her, I hope that this movie is popular in Japan, because I picked one of my favorites from America. Sorry to everyone whose characters didn't get picked, this one was from an email someone sent me. Tell you next chap. who it is!
In the morning, Mizuki awoke, hitting her head on the ceiling. "Ow!" She rubbed the back of her head vigorously, trying to rid herself of the pain and dizziness she was now feeling. She vaguely remembered she needed to get up early today, the contest assembly was first thing in the morning. She moaned, trying not to think about it.
"You OK?" a faraway voice asked, bringing her back into the world.
"What? Oh, sorry, Sano, um, I'm fine." She got up, careful not to hit her head again, and started down the ladder. Holding her head with one hand and the ladder with the other, she managed to get halfway down before stumbling and losing her footage. A strong grip steadied her, and guided her the rest of the way down the ladder.
"Well, apparently you're not!" Sano said as he pulled Mizuki into his arms in a short embrace, not long enough to dwell on.
"What's the matter, you've been acting strange lately, coming home late last night, lying to me about where you've been-"
"I didn't lie to you, I really did take a walk with Yuujiro!"
"Yes, but not a long one. I know you didn't because I went outside looking for you and saw Yuujiro in his doghouse, asleep. I thought you had already left to go inside, so I went back to the dorm. That was 20 minutes before you finally came home. What really happened?" He looked sternly at her, daring her to say anything that wasn't true.
"Sano, nothing happened, I just took a long time walking back to the dorms; I sat outside for a while." She didn't quite meet his eyes, while he looked like he didn't quite believe her. But, he let her pass him and go into the bathroom to get dressed.

As soon as she was inside, Sano sighed and sat down on the wooden desk chair.
"I really don't get her. I just hope she isn't in trouble." Then, another thought occurred. 'Maybe she was meeting her boyfriend.' He really hoped that wasn't the case. He blushed as he envisioned himself meeting her instead of the "other guy". "That would never happen," he said to himself, snapping back into reality.
The door opened to the bathroom and Mizuki stepped out in her uniform, trying to fix her tie.
Hey, you're doing it all wrong again!" Sano exclaimed as he got up and walked quickly over to her, clamping his hands over the two of hers that were trying, uselessly, to tie her tie. They both blushed and looked away from each other. He hadn't meant to do that.
"Sano, I can do it myself, it's fine-" he had already finished and was now ruffling her deep brown hair.
"No problem, I do it all the time anyways." He smiled.
She blushed and stared at the wall behind him. "Sano, are you OK? When I came out, you were sitting in the desk chair holding your head. You have a headache or something?"
She looked concernedly at him with those big brown eyes. He always found it hard to resist those eyes.
"No, I'm fine, just thinking," he recalled his previous vision and blushed, looking away. "We should really be going, or Nanba will kill us." He stood up, shouldered his pack, and walked out the door.
She paused a moment, after picking up her bag, before going out the door. She recalled that Sano hadn't quite met her eyes that morning. What was he hiding?
Little did she know, farther down the hall, Sano was thinking the same thing.
