Yuka's POV
OK, I'm walking home. Auntie's at work until six o'clock, so I have to walk and be alone for a few hours... OK, now I'm paranoid!
But even so, I keep looking around, still having that being-watched feeling in my gut. I always go with my gut feeling, not my actual thinking logic.
"Yuka!" (groan) I turn around and see Yusuke. He's wearing a green jumpsuit.
"Hey Yusuke," I greet with no enthusiasm whatsoever. He's in a chipper mood. He starts slowing down and walks next to me. I clear my throat. "What brings you here?"
"Oh, my girlfriend's resturant is around the corner," he tells me, grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Ohh..."
"Hey, was, ahh... 'Shuichi' in school today?" Yusuke asks me, a tinge of hesitant in his tone. I shake my head.
"No. Why?" He looks away, suddenly not interested in the answer anymore. (sigh)
...
Wait, around the corner? ... DAMMIT!!
"Err, I have to go!" I tell him, waving and running. Man, I need to get home!
"Yuka!" Yusuke calls after me. I can't chat with him... Well, I wouldn't anyway, but I have to get home!
"Wait, Yuka!" I can hear him running towards me. I can't talk to him! Why can't he figure that out?!
I stop and face him.
"Yusuke, I must get home! I need do to my homework, I need to do the dishes and make dinner, I have alot on my agenda!" I tell him. He stops and thinks for a moment. Then, he busts out laughing.
I hate him so much.
"What's so funny?" I ask him bitterly.
"Y-you so-sound like a house-wife!" he tells me between laughs.
"Thanks Yusuke," I say sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
"Hey, I ain't trying to- That's not a word." He blinks in a confusing way. Yusuke stays silent for a few moments.
"Huh?"
"Yusuke, 'ain't' isn't a word," I explain slowly.
"It is too!" he snaps.
"Fine, then what are the two words that make it a conjunction?" He thinks for a moment. There's my chance to leave! I turn around and run away.
"What the- Aww!" I turn on a corner and continue running until I make it to my lawn. I look at my uniform. It's a little wrinkly, but it looks fine after that.
Then, that's when I look up. Above my head, in a tree, was Hiei. Again.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!! STALKER!! STALKER!!" He winces at my sudden screaming. Soon, the neighbors come out and stare at me funny. I look up and growl loudly. Hiei's already gone?! What the hell?!
"Err... Are you OK?" the next door neighbor, Miss Koriki, asks me hesitantly.
"Y-yeah..." I take out my house-key and fiddle with it. It feels so cold. I put it through the keyhole and turn it slowly.
Then, I open the door. I don't see anyone in my house.
"Damn that short idiot," I mutter as I put my key on a table. I kick off my shoes and bolt up the stairs, into my room. What I hate most about going to a new school is doing work I haven't really learned yet.
"Mmm..."
RING, RING, RING.
I jump and grab the phone. It had better be important-
"Yuka Izumi!" I blink and smile widely at the familiar voice.
"Yuu! I haven't heard from you in awhile," I say happily to my best friend, crossing my legs on my bed.
"Yeah, by 'awhile', you obviously mean two weeks, right?" she says sarcastically. I click my tongue and nod.
"Yeah, I do." We both start laughing.
"So, how's school been for you?" Yuu asks me curiously. I can already imagine her eyes lighting up.
"Ahh, just fine," I say shyly. I hate it when I have to tell her about any boys I meet. She accuses me of liking them right off the bat.
"You liar!" she says playfully. "Tell me, is there any cute boys at Meioh High or whatever it's called?" I gulp loudly. Should I tell her about Kurama? Or not?? ... Well, I can trust her.
"Actually, there is a boy I have my eyes on," I tell her sheepishly. There's an awkward silence before I can hear Yuu talk again.
"Wow! How hot is he? On a scale from one to ten?" she asks eagerly. I have to think for a few moments. Then I smile.
"He's off the scale." And that's the truth. "So anyways, Yuu Kobayashi, why'd you call me?"
"Oh, I'm moving to your town!" she chirps. I gasp and start shaking in excitement. She's moving here?! Yes!
"Oh, cool! I get to have my best friend in my town now!" I tell her in an excited voice. Oh, her news just made my day! Now Auntie will have to know when she comes home! Oooh, I can't wait!
"Hey Yuu, I'm gonna call my auntie now, OK?" I tell her in a frantic voice. I can hear her giggle.
"All right, call me later tonight!" I promise her I will. I hang up and start doing my homework while humming happily.
Yuu's POV
I can't believe this. Yuka might've found a man in that new town. I mean, it's true that I'm moving there, but now there's a real reason why I'm moving;
To see this 'man' of hers. I bet she's lying. When I heard her say she had found a cute boy, her definition of cute is exactly like mine;
A handsome, smart, hardworker with beautiful eyes and hair. I told her I'm happy for her, but if I like this 'man'...
He'll be mine. I always take what I want, no matter what's in my way. And besides, with my looks, he won't reject me. No one has ever rejected me. Well, now there's something I better do.
I walk out of my room and walk into my hallway. It leads right into the living room. I cough loudly as I get nearer to the living room. I smell my mom's cigarrette smoke.
"Hey Mom, I'm goin' over to Ryuu's," I tell her. Her autumn brown colored hair is starting to grow longer, I can see. She looks at me with her brown-ish colored eyes. They look blank.
"Go. Just don't come back knocked up." I roll my eyes as I leave the house, snatching a sweater as I did so. Ryuu Satashi is my boyfriend, soon to be my ex. I walk across the street, to a house where it painted a pale blue color.
Ryuu lives across the street from my own house, so it's alot easier to get over to his house and vice versa. I walk up to the door and knock on it. Soon, Ryuu opens it. He's holding a large spoon and wearing an apr-
"Ryuu, are you wearing an apron?" I ask in disbelief. What does he do here?!
"Hm? Oh, I'm cooking dinner," he says in his deep and gentle voice.
"Well Ryuu, there's really no other way to say this, so I'm just gonna come out with it- Oh, I know you're moving away," Ryuu says sadly, cutting me off. "But that doesn't mean we can't have a long-distance relationship!" he chirps. (sigh)
"Ryuu, I'm tell you that I'm breaking up with you." He drops the spoon.
CLACK!!
"Wh-what?" I turn around and leave. His ocean blue eyes had tears in them, but I can't two-time him with another. If I did, I'd never forgive myself.
And besides, even if I can't get this mystery man Yuka likes, Ryuu'll come crawling back to me. So I'll win either way.
Oh, I guess I better start packing. I'll be doing alot of that for the next few days.
SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING SOONER!! BUT HERE'S CHAPTER 14!! HOPE YOU LIKED IT!!
