10-T&T
A/n: A Yoma chapter.
"Obaasan, Ojiisan I'm going to go hang out with An. We won't stay out too late," Yoma called as she ran out the front door. She weaved her way through the streets and to An's house. "Konnichiwa, is An home?"
"She's at the street courts with Kippei. It's nice seeing you Yoma."
"Arigato!" Yoma headed off to the street courts and waited while the siblings played their match. They rallied back and forth and then finally Kippei scored the winning point, but Yoma noticed that An was improving. Tachibana, as usual when it was the three of them alone, tried to run off but Yoma managed to catch him. "Not so fast, Kippei."
"Tatsunori-san, I have to go."
"No you don't oniisan, all your homework is done and dinner isn't for another two hours." An stopped her brother from fleeing without giving Yoma a reason.
"An…" he was only slightly angry at his sister while trying to plead her to let him go.
"Never mind, this clearly wasn't a good idea on my part. I should just go with the flow. Bye An. Bye Tachibana." Yoma waved goodbye and headed home.
"Damn it." Tachibana sighed, feeling like a complete ass.
"You could just chase after her, after all she lives like down the street from us," An encouraged her brother. He slightly perked up and took his sister's advice.
"Tatsunori-san! Tatsunori-san! Tatsunori-san!" Kippei called out after her.
"Ah, Tachibana." Yoma was slightly angry with him.
"Gomen. Tatsunori-san, no Yoma. It's just that…" He trailed off unsure of the reason why he was so awkward around her.
"Kippei, it is fine. Eventually things seem to work things out." She gave him a soft, sweet smile which made his cheeks heat up for a second. He stayed silent unsure of what to say. "All I'm worried about right now is that we were friends before I had to go to America. And now I still consider one, but you're acting all formal, I just don't get it."
"Neither do I," Tachibana spoke honestly.
"That's fine. Just promise me you'll go with the flow and work with it to work this problem out," Yoma gave him another smile that made his cheeks heat up once more, it was a smile that as he delved into his mind only he received.
