Like I said, writing mood helped me get three chapters done all at once, so here's chapter 7! Sorry in advance if I bore anyone with this. I hope you like it!
Chapter 7: Yellow Moon
"Yuu, what's the meaning of this?" asked Ryoma with an annoyed look. It was 8pm, a Thursday night and they were currently at the park, though Ryoma found none of these facts annoying since they had been planning this for a long time now. What he found annoying was that instead of just seeing Yuu at the place they were supposed to meet up, he was also greeted by Inui, Kikumaru, Kawamura, Momoshiro, Kaidoh, Oishi, Fuji, surprisingly Tezuka, Touma and even Amano.
"Hoi hoi, don't look like that O'Chibi. It's not the Moon Child's fault. It's also your fault." Said Kikumaru going over and clinging onto Ryoma.
"Get off, you're heavy. What do you mean it's my fault?" asked Ryoma trying to get out of the red-head's grip
"Kikumaru and I overheard you and Tsukiyomi talking about something special happening tonight. We told the others and naturally we were curious so we decided to come along." Explained Inui
"Speak for yourself. I came for inspiration for my art" said Amano glaring at Inui
"I came since everyone else was coming and it sounded like fun." Said Ringo smiling
"Tsukiyomi, if you don't mind me asking, what's going to happen?" asked Oishi curious as to what the girl had planned.
"I bet it's an all you can eat night buffet" said Momoshiro drooling at the thought of endless food
"Who goes to a buffet this late at night? It's probably special training" said Kaidoh scoffing at Momo's ridiculous idea
"That's too boring. It's probably a big party!" exclaimed Kikumaru finally letting go of Ryoma and throwing his hands up in the air to emphasize 'big'
"It's a school night, so the chances of that are only 12%." Added Inui
"It could just be a late night walk" said Fuji coming up with a more reasonable answer as to why they were at the park
"Actually, tonight the full Moon is going to be a yellow Moon. I wanted to see it with Ryo-chan and that's why we're here" said Yuu explaining the situation too the boys
"Ah yes, the rare yellow Moon. I can understand why you would want to see it, but I'm sorry to say that there's a 99.9% chance you won't be seeing it any time soon." Said Inui writing down notes in his notebook
"Why do you say that?" asked Kawamura
"Yeah Inui, it's really mean to crush people's dreams. I want to see the yellow Moon too" said Kikumaru, hurt to hear they won't be seeing the special Moon
"If you watch weather forecasts, you should know that tonight is going to be completely cloudy. The clouds are too thick to see the yellow Moon. There's only a .1% chance of the clouds letting up" said Inui looking up at the cloudy sky. Everyone else looked up and saw that he was right. Clouds completely filled the night sky and obscured their view of the Moon.
"I know, but I still believe that the clouds will let up and we'll be able to see the Moon." Said Yuu smiling at her friends
"What makes you so sure about it? My data is never wrong" said Inui pushing up his glasses
"She's the Moon Child, Inui! If she says the Moon will come out, then it'll come out." Said Kikumaru, believing Yuu's words
"Well, if that's the case, shouldn't we find a good spot to watch the Moon?" asked Momoshiro
"You're right, let's split up into groups and see what we can do" said Oishi, getting excited about seeing the Moon
"Well if that's the case, I'm taking the Moon Child" said Ringo grabbing Yuu's wrist and dragging her away from the group. Once they were far away to where nobody could see them, she stopped walking and let go of Yuu's wrist.
"Um…Ringo sempai…are you okay?" asked Yuu concerned for the elder girl
"Do you really mean it?" asked Ringo, keeping her back to the smaller girl
"Mean what?" asked Yuu confused at the sudden question
"The yellow Moon…will it really come out tonight?" asked Ringo, clearing up the confusion
"Well, I don't know about probabilities like Inui-sempai, but I have a feeling it'll come out" replied Yuu
"Then this is it Yuu… I'm finally going to confess to the boy I like" said Ringo turning around to face Yuu. She had a very determined look on her face
"Really? I'm so glad!" exclaimed Yuu, hugging the elder girl tightly to show her happiness
"Glad about what?" came a calm voice from behind them. Both girls turned around to see Fuji walking over to them.
"Fuji! Don't scare us like that!" said Ringo poking the boy
"Sorry about that, but what are you two doing so far away from the group?" asked Fuji
"I'm finally going to confess my feelings to Tezuka!" exclaimed Ringo excitedly, jumping a couple of times. Yuu was shocked to hear Tezuka's name instead of Fuji's and froze for a while until she regained her senses.
"Ah Fuji-sempai, I thought I saw a good spot to watch the Moon but I need your opinion. It was…this way!" said Yuu grabbing a hold of Fuji's wrist and dragging him off into a random direction far away from Ringo. Fuji followed silently wondering what had gotten into the girl. After walking even further into the park, Yuu finally stopped and let go of Fuji's wrist, keeping her back to him. Fuji said nothing and waited for the girl to explain herself until he saw her tremble a bit and turned her around. He saw the crying face of Yuu as tears flowed down her cheek and drop silently onto the grass beneath them.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" asked Fuji, concerned for the sudden strange behavior
"I'm sorry Fuji-sempai, it's just so sad. You really like Ringo-sempai, so for you to hear that she wants to confess her feelings to your best friend must hurt a lot. I'm really sorry Fuji-sempai, but it just hurts" replied the girl trying to stop the flowing tears but failing miserably. Fuji opened his eyes in shock, surprised at the response he had gotten.
"It's okay, don't worry about it. I'll be fine." He replied ruffling the girl's hair "You know, you really are strange. Even though I'm the one with the problem, you're the one that's crying"
"I'm so-" was all Yuu could say as she tilted her head up and met Fuji's gaze. She was mesmerized by his blue eyes that the tears ceased to flow down her cheek. "Fuji-sempai…you have really pretty eyes" were the only things she could say as she was captivated by his stunning eyes, unable to look away from him.
"You know…it kind of sounds like you're going to ask me out on a date."Fuji teased, trying to lighten the mood
"Ah, no, that's not it! It's just…um…well…" said Yuu blushing furiously at his comment, trying to find words that actually made sense when spoken. Fuji just chuckled at the girl's reaction, finding it funny how easily flustered she gets
"Thank you for the compliment. You have really pretty eyes too, you just need to stop hiding them under these bangs." Said Fuji reaching over and brushing the bangs away and exposing Yuu's right eye. She was still preoccupied in trying to find the right words that she didn't notice the small gesture
"Your eyes" were all that Fuji was able to get out as he stared into the eyes of the small girl in front of him. That one small comment was enough for Yuu to realize that her right eye was exposed. What scared her the most was that Fuji just stood there, not saying a thing.
That's the end of chapter 7! I hope you liked it.
