Unexpected Love
Chapter 4
Yuu put down the last box of his stuff in his new room. So, this is how my new life is going to start. A light feeling came over him. I wonder how Miki is faring. It's been weeks since he's seen her eversince that dinner function and now they've shifted into their new house.
Yuu went downstairs to look for her. Finally, he found her. She was sitting in the middle of the living room, watching her parents silently. She was having that sad look on her face again. Well, he'll have to fix that up right away. Coincidentally, he was suppose to buy some food for everybody after a hard days work. Why not bring her along?
With a bounce in his step, he moved behind Miki and tapped her lightly on the head with his wallet. Knocked out of her reverie, Miki winced and glared up at him, rubbing the injured spot on her head where he rudely hit her. "What?!"
"Don't just sit there and do nothing, Miki. Come and follow me to get the food for everybody."
Miki puts on a face at Yuu but gets up to follow, reluctantly. With a smile, Yuu turned and led the way out.
At the store, Miki was still sulking. When Yuu asked what did she want to eat she just muttered under her breath. Yuu grinned and just let her continue sulking. It just makes him want to tease her more to see her reaction.
Soon, they were on their way home with food in hand. Earlier, Yuu had bought some bubble gum and offered some to Miki. By that time, Miki had stopped sulking and was soon back to her original mood. And now, she's still brooding silently.
Yuu stopped walking and Miki looked up questioningly. "Why are you so quiet, Miki?" Miki blinked at him. Although Miki looked adorable in her befuddled state right now, but Yuu just couldn't help adding in, "Is it because you've given up?" and sure enough a spark appeared in her eyes and she narrowed them as she looked at Yuu.
"Those rude things you just said doesn't quite seem to match with your handsome face," she rudely replied.
Biting back a grin, Yuu also replied with a narrow look of his own,"At least I'm handsome. Those rude things you just said doesn't match with your ugly face at all," Miki glared back. Yuu just blew out a bubble in her face.
Suddenly, Miki looked sad again. "I've accepted it all for now," Yuu paused. "But I still believe in what I said!" Miki looked up determinedly at him. Yuu's bubble gum popped.
This is the side of Miki that he liked. Miki that is passionate about things. Yuu smiled. "Of course, these things take time. It's hard to accept such drastic changes in ones life. But why not for now, let's call it a truce?" Yuu held out his hand for her to shake.
Miki's face looked surprised but softened at his sudden offer. Hesitantly, Miki started to smile her little smile and reach out to take his hand.
Smiling all the while, Yuu put something in Miki's hand. Miki blinked and looked down at the gift Yuu left in her hand. A look of astonishment washed over her face at the wad of bubble gum that Yuu had just been chewing on but somehow found its way into her palm.
Yuu stepped back to wait for the explosion to come. It wasn't too long before a look of dawning came over Miki and she burst out in an angry exclamation at Yuu's childish prank.
Yuu couldn't hold it any longer and he ran off laughing at the look on her face. Miki was soon chasing after Yuu all the while holding the wad of bubble gum in her tightly clenched raised fist. Miki looked as if she would like to throw the gum at his head. If she did, Yuu think he would actually laugh even harder.
The next day, it was back to school. But Yuu won't be going back to his old school anymore. During the past few weeks, his parents have enrolled him to Miki's school at his request. He told them it would be easier for him since it's nearer to their new house. But besides that, he found out that Miki's school is near where his real father is working. It suited his plans very well. What's more, he got to tease Miki everyday in school. I wonder how she'll take it when she finds out.
Speaking of Miki, there she was, not far away from the school gates. She was walking beside the same girl the other day in town. What was her name again? Yuu didn't ponder over this slight detail very long because he just overheard Miki saying to her friend how she'd find peace and quiet from her strange new family in school.
With a grin, Yuu ran up behind her and once again, hit Miki on the head with his school bag. Miki was halfway through her sentence when she was nearly toppled over from the sudden impact on her head. Her eyes was already looking daggers back at the rude person that would dare to hit her on her already previously injured head.
When she saw it was the same person that originally hit her on the head the day before, she paused, "Yuu? What on earth are you doing here at my school?!" her eyes widened when she saw Yuu was wearing her school's uniform with her school badge sewn on his breast pocket.
Yuu explained to her the new situation and when Miki realised that Yuu was actually going to invade her life in school as well she burst out in denial,"But you can't be in my school! No, you must go back to your old one! Please, just go back!"
Yuu's eyes twinkled but he feigned a look of curiousity, "Oh?" He was about to say something more when suddenly somebody called out to Miki. Yuu and Miki turned and looked behind at whoever that called out.
Some handsome chap was running up to Miki. Yuu paused and looked at the sudden change in Miki's face. Her whole face lighted up as she saw who it was that called. She had already forgotten what she was about to say to him and was paying her full attention to the newcomer. Yuu felt a twinge in his heart at her smile for the handsome guy with the brown hair.
Yuu realised that although he had seen Miki smiled before but she has never smiled at him quite like that before. It was as if she was almost...Yuu's face hardened at the unexpected possibility.
Miki had forgotten about him within seconds when this guy showed up. This kind of thing has never happened to him before. He watched as she walked ahead with the new guy, in a world of their own. In his quest to know her, he hadn't realised that she might already have some guy in her life. The thought didn't bode well with Yuu.
"Ahem."
A soft cough sounded behind Yuu and he turned to discover the girl who's name he had forgotten, standing all the while beside him as he stared at Miki. "Hi, my name is Meiko. Nice to meet you," she smiled up at him knowingly.
Yuu greeted back and introduced himself as well. But his eyes soon strayed back to the couple ahead. He couldn't help asking, "Are they a couple?" his heart clenched in denial.
"No, they're not. Well, actually, they could have been, seeing as to how close they are. But Ginta turned her down a long time ago," Meiko informed Yuu.
"Oh?" slowly Yuu let out the breath he didn't realise he was holding. He didn't realise that Meiko was staring at him.
Eventhough Meiko tells him this, it still seemed as if Miki have some feelings for the guy. His heart started to pound loudly in his ears. This Ginta guy may be over her, but is she over him?
