Chapter 4

Yumi-chan's house and family were very nice and kind.


We stopped in front of an average two-story house not too far from Rikkaidai University. Yumi-chan grabbed my suitcase and waltzed right through the front door yelling, "I'm home!"

"Whose suitcase is that? Did your boyfriend finally decide to move in with you?" I heard a voice sarcastically say.

"Shut up, Shin-nii!"

"Yumi? Is that you?"

"Yea mom! Suzuki Kimiko, the transfer student is here too!"

A pretty woman in her late thirties with medium length black hair looked out of the kitchen.

"Well come on in! You'll catch a cold just standing out there!"

I slowly stepped through the doorway; the house was cute and very homely. It was perfect my dream house. My dream family.


"Suzuki-san?"

"Hai?" I said returning from my trip down memory lane.

"I expect you to try to pay attention in class even if you are fluent with English."

"O-okay."

"Good."


It was lunch and I was eating with Yumi-chan and some of her friends when I heard Marui-senpai call out my name.

"Yes senpai?"

I could feel the fan girls in class glaring daggers at me. He motioned for me to come out into the hallway with him. I hesitated and looked at Yumi-chan to see of this was the right move to make. And of course she was avoiding eye contact with me though I could tell she knew exactly what I was doing.

I took a chance and stepped into the hallway with one of the boys' tennis club's regulars.

"So what did you want to talk to me about senpai?"

He leaned his face in closer and whispered in my ear so only the two of us could hear. His face was to close for comfort. I could feel my heart trying to break free from its prison within my rib cage.

"Hey Kimiko-chan have you seen my wrist band."

"… eh?"

"I think I dropped it when I was helping you."

"No, I don't thi-"

His hand clamped over my mouth his voice a whisper.

"Shhhhhh! Don't let anyone hear you. If Niou found out he would start about how irresponsible I am and how if I keep losing my stuff I would never get a girlfriend, though I don't know what that has to do with losing a wrist band. Anyways, you haven't seen it?"

He removed his hand from my face not noticing the red blush forming.

"I haven't seen your wrist band but I can help you look for it after your practice ends senpai."

"Really? Thanks! Wait for me in the bleachers and you can finally see my genius moves in action. But are you sure? What about that woman?"

"Woman? Do you mean Yumi-chan?"

He nodded.

"It's okay, Yumi-chan has kendo anyways. And I'll just get home before dark."

"Okay then I will see you at practice," He said as he left.


After school

"I'll see you at home then Kimiko-chan."

"Okay, do your best at practice."

"I will and the courts are around the corner, if you get lost it will be a new record for your stupidity."

"Hey!"

Yumi-chan just laughed and walked to the dojo where the kendo club holds their practice.

I walked towards the court and the moment I got there I was shocked. The courts were completely surrounded. Was the whole school watching or something? I tried to push my way through but failed. One of the fan girls pushed me onto the ground and I landed graciously on my butt.

"Oww~"

I looked up to see someone offering me their hand. I happily accepted it. I got up and dusted myself off. Why was everyone so quiet? I looked up to see Marui-senpai and Jackal-senpai. No wonder everyone was quiet.

"Thank you, senpai."

"No problem, just make sure you don't land on your face next time."

"You're so mean senpai."

He chuckled at my remark and led me to the bleachers.

"Your lucky," he said, "Not that many people get to sit in the bleachers."

"A-Ah"

With that he headed to the courts. Once again, I could feel the fan girls glaring daggers at me through the fence. I could tell that all of the regulars were great tennis players even from my lack of knowledge.

"Do you understand the concept of the game?"

I turned around to see Yanagi-senpai. I shook my head no.

"I thought as much."

For the rest of practice Yanagi-senpai was patient with me and taught me the rules of tennis and each move and how they were different. He was a really good teacher, I mean I could have dosed off or something but he got me to pay attention and understand. I'm not stupid or anything I just get distracted easily.

"Let's go Kimiko-chan."

"Okay"


For the next two hours we looked for his wrist band. It was nowhere to be found.

"Hey, Bunta." A voice said as we were searching for it in the teachers' lounge. I looked up, it was Niou-senpai.

"Yeah?" Marui-senpai said.

"I forgot my wrist band today so I borrowed yours, here." With that Niou-senpai tossed the wrist band to Marui-senpai and left.

Marui-senpai slapped his face.

I was trying to hold in my laughter but I just couldn't.

"HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH! "

"Hey don't laugh!" Marui-senpai said as his face turned red.

"Sorry sorry," I said as I wiped away a tear form my the corner of my eye, "I'm glad you found it."

"Yea. Hey let me walk you home."

"No it's ok. You don't have to do that."

"No don't worry."

"Bu-"

"You shouldn't argue with a senpai."

"Hai.."

"Let's go."


"Thank you for walking me home."

"No prob."

As I was about to walk away He called after em.

"Hey!" I turned around, "I'll make it up to you."

"Make up what?"

"For wasting your time."

"You didn't waste my time."

"Still this is something I want to do. I'll pick you up at ten in the morning on Saturday ok?"

Before I could protest he ran off. I sighed and turned around to go in. Then, I saw my worst nightmare.

"Ohhh so Kimiko-chan isn't as innocent as she looks huh? You sure do move fast." Yumi-chan and her brother, Shin, said in unision from the doorway. Those two were definitely related.

"It's not like that! He left before I could protest!"

"Yea that's it. It's time for dinner so go wash up." Shin said with a smirk as he and Yumi-chan walked back into the house.

Yay! It's almost time for their 'date'! Please review if you want anything ot happen during the date or if you have any ideas. Sorry if Marui was slightly OOC. Chapter 5 may be a little late coming out, spring break is almost over :'(
