Sky Days chapter 06: Getting Closer
BW: And so the drama begins- NOT! I lied, somewhat. Anyway, this where things get really interesting, and really funny.
Sora: Where?
BW: You'll see.
Sora: You said that twice!
BW: You need to read in order to get info. Plus this is a chance for Sora to closer to Kotonoha.
Sora (surprised and blushing): What? Are you serious? Where? Where?
BW: As I said, read and get info.
(I don't own anything from School Days, but the OC's belong to me; one more thing, the name Sora or his appearance has nothing to do with the Soras of other franchises. The Sora in this story, is my own orginal character, okay? Please keep that in mind while reading future chapters as well)
After a fated, or coincidental meeting between new friends, almost everyone starts to enjoy their time at the pool.
On one side of the pool, Sekai dives in, and swims with perfect arm strokes.
Makoto and Kotonoha watch Sekai.
"Saionji-san is really amazing." Kotonoha said.
"I think you woud've been better having Sekai show you the ropes." said Makoto.
"But, I want you to do it." Kotonoha said fermly.
"Okay. Then, I'll hold your hands." said Makoto, holding out his hands for Kotonoha.
"Okay." Kotonoha agreed, and held his hands.
"Hold on tight." said Makoto.
"Yes." said Kotonoha, "Please don't let go." Kotonoha asked.
"You'll be fine. Let's go." Makoto said and gently began pulling Kotonoha, and lets her kick her feet and breath in and out of the water, while he walks back slowly. Although no one could see, Makoto had a somewhat bored look on his face.
Meanwhile, Sora is stewing in the joice of his own anger, watching with bitter irritation as Makoto holds onto Kotonoha in this manner.
"Why you..." Sora growled, with anger in voice.
"He knows how to psuh your buttons, even if he doesn't realize it. What a perfect asshole, and an idiot." said Kongo, standing next to him, "So, you gonna join them?"
"N-no, I don't think so." Sora said, "I knew I shouldn't have come here."
"But, you did, because you wanted to see Katsura in bathing suit." said Kongo, and he chuckled, "How cute; the fact that neither of you can swim."
"I-idiot! What're you talking about?" Sora asked embarrassed.
"She doesn't look bad at all. She always has the looks. Maybe that's Katou doesn't like her." Kongo said.
"Yeah, whatever!" Sora said, "Moreover... I didn't think about it up til now, but how did you know they'd be here?" Sora asked, with a glare.
"W-well..." Kongo began saying.
A flashback of a few days agi before now, Kongo spotted Kotonoha and Makoto in front of store in town; she gave him a ticket for the indoor had a couple of tickets for same the pool.
That's when he had a brain storm, and he talked to Tetsuo, and so with it in, they told Sora about the pool.
"Huh? Are you stupid? Why would I waste my time splashing around in pool water?" Sora asked, displeased.
"Would you rather go to the beach?" Kongo asked.
"No! I'm not going! period!" Sora said, and was getting ready to walk away from the classroom.
"You know, Katsura might show up there, in a really nice bathing suit I might add." Tetsuo said. Upon hearing this, Sora stopped in his tracks.
Back to the present.
"And that's what happened." said Kongo, as the flashback ended. Sora stared suspiciously as his friend.
"You were just eavesdropping?" Sora asked.
"Not intentionally though. Seeing them there in the first place was just by chance." Kongo explained, "Besides, aren't you happy that we talked you into going?" Kongo asked.
"I would be... if I hadn't neglected to remember that Itou was going to be here, and ignore my instincts." Sora said with a scowl.
"You're scaring me." said Kongo. There was a sudden yelp sound emenating from Kotonoha. As she was kicking her feet, she accidently slipped and latched onto Makoto, rapping her arms around his next. She also pressed her breasts against his body.
Sora and Kongo grapped their jaws when they saw this happen.
"Uh... yeah, something like that..." Makoto said, and he rapped his arms around Kotonoha, pressing her against him further. She smiled a second later.
"Hold on tight." Makoto said.
"Yes." Kotonoha replied.
"Tighter." Makoto said.
"Yes." Kotonoha repeated. Sora and Kongo watched the two embrace each other.
"Yup, definately a perfect asshole and an idiot." said Kongo, with a bored look. However, Sora was griding his teeth in fruastrasion and anger.
"Feel like pounding a perfect asshole plus idiot into the dirt, are we?" Kongo asked. Pounding sounds were heard. Sora walks away from the scene, leaving a battered Kongo on the floor, crying humorously, while laying on his back.
"Tetsuo, wherever you are, please come back..." Kongo cried, "It's no fun teasing Sora and getting punished for it when your not around." Kongo said as he turned over on his stomach. His crying ceased when he saw Sekai looking over to Makoto and Kotonoha.
He couldn't completely see her face since her eyes were shadowed by her bangs, but there might have been a hint of a certain emotion. She ignored them a second later, and went swimming again.
Kongo stood up, strached the side of his neck, and walked away, "Speaking of Tetsuo, I wanna see how he plans to woo his crush." he said.
Meanwhile, at the water slide, Hikari slides down, and slips off the edge to land in the water below, while yelling "YAHOO!"
Tetsuo was was already in the water, watching Hikari slide down and land in the pool.
"Nice one." said Tetsuo.
"Thanks." Hikari thanked, "By the way, I didn't catch your name before."
"Tetsuo. Tetsuo Kurokawa. And as you can plainly see, me and, other guy, whose name is Kongo Kurusugawa are good friend of Sora's." Tetsuo introduced.
"Sora? Oh, you mean Amamiya." said Hikari, "Do you guys do that everytime or what?" Hikari asked, remembering the stranglehold Sora put them through earlier.
"One way of showing our affactions towards each other." said Tetsuo, making himself look cool. Kongo saw the action, and figure it was time for a little a action for him to play.
Meanwhile, the two suddenly heard gurgling appraoching them from the water slide. Taisuke was hurled out and land in the water face first. He splashed Tetsuo, who didn't make a move. Taisuke now floats by Hikari.
"Sawanaga, your form is horrible." Hikari commented.
"Excuse me? Weren't you the one who wanted to pratice swimming?" Taisuke yelled with a quick recovery.
"This is this, and that is that." Hikari said, "So wanna go again?"
"God... are you always like this?" Taisuke asked.
"That's right. I'm always like this." Hikari said with a smile.
"That's good to hear." Tasiuke said in a sarcastic tone.
"She really is cute, isn't she?" Tetsuo thought.
"Look out belowww!" Kongo's voice shouts, as he slid down, landed on an unintentional target, idenified as Taisuke Sawanaga, pushing him into Tetsuo. A huge slash was made.
Moments later, Kongo and Hikari stared at something totally not right, and it was not a happy occasion for the two boys in aparent liplock. Seriously, not a very plesent experience for either of them. They were completely frozen, with their bodies sinking beneath the water.
Setsuna's head moves through the water, muttering "First kiss, gone wrong." under the water.
Meanwhile, Sora, eslewhere seems to have gotten himself lost.
"Damn... who made this place so freaking big?" Sora asked himself.
"Um excuse me..." Sora heard a meek and familiar voice. He turned behind him, and saw Kotonoha with two strange guys, trying to hit on her, much to her dismay. "Please, I already have a boyfriend, so..." Kotonoha said. She felt totally nervous around these two.
"Hey, don't have be like that." said one of them.
"C'mon, ditch him and go have fun with us." said the other, and grabbed Kotonoha's wrist. Suddenly, he got socked in the face, by Sora, who had quickly dashed towards the scene. Kotonoha was surprised to see him like that.
"Amamiya-kun?" she said in her thoughts.
"What the hell?" the jerk yells, and then was pushed away by Sora.
"Bastards! Get your filthy paws away from her!" Sora shouts.
"What? You saying she's your girl or something?" asked the first one.
"T-that's..." Sora stammered. He didn't know what to do.
"Look if you not gonna say anything then out of the way! Is she your girlfriend or not?"
Sora was nervous. Kotonoha remained silent, and began cling to Sora's arm out of fear, rapping her arms tightly around his arm.
That's were he found the courage to say something that wasn't true, but he had no choice, "That's right! She's my girlfriend! Now get lost!"
"Tch, damn! Let's out of here." "Yeah." they said and left without another word.
"K-Kastura-san, are you okay?" Sora asked, worried about his crush.
"A-Amamiya-kun, you..." she muttered, "You said that I was your girlfriend." Kotonoha finally said. Sora turned pale faced in seconds.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to say it like that, I didn't have much of a choice, so it just happened!" Sora tried to explained himself, doing a number of strange gestures in front of her. All Kotonoha did was stare at him, until she started laughing, because she thought he was funny.
Sora blushed mostly out of a slight embarrassed feeling, "Now that I'm thinking about it, where is Itou anyway? He should be doing this sort of thing, shouldn't he?" Sora asked.
"Actually, he's waiting on me." Kotonoha replied, "See, I was um... know you, being my... business." Kotonoha blushed.
"Oh? OH! That! Hehe..." Sora chuckled.
"So anyway, what're you doing here?" Kotonoha asked.
"Me? I was... busy getting lost." Sora said, with smirk.
"You got lost? Here?" Kotonoha begin to giggle.
"Yeah, silly, huh?" Sora started chuckling as well.
"But, still this place is huge." Kotonoha said, "It definately seems to be easy to get lost in here."
"It's amazing how anyone can find the bathroom here." Sora commented. Kotonoha had no comment. Sora noticed and began doing his silly gestures again, "N-not that there isn't anything wrong with using it, but..." Sora said, while in motion. Kotonoha began giggle again.
"You really are funny sometimes, Amamiya-kun!" Kotonoha laughed away. She couldn't hold in the laughter. She look so cute when she was laughing like this. Sora blushed deeply.
"You... you don't have to say that. I'm not usually that funny." said sora, rubbing the back of his head.
"But, you are, and you really are a nice person, Amamiya-kun." Kotonoha said, with a smile, "Oh, I forgot to thank you properly. I'm sorry." Kotonoha apologized and bowed down.
"No, don't worry. I'm happy to help anytime, anywhere." Sora exclaimed, bowing down as well, "Anyway, we should probably get back to the others. They're waiting for us."
"You're right. Shall we go, then?" Kotonoha starts walking, and Sora follows her, however, Kotonoha haults.
"What's wrong, Katsura-san?" Sora asked.
"Hey, Amamiya-kun, when you said that I was girlfriend to those two earlier..." Kotonoha paused.
"Oh, that! I won't say anything to Itou about it, I swear! Or, if you want, I could apologize..." Sora said. Though he hid quite well, he felt sick thinking about apologizing to Itou.
"That's not it." Kotonoha said. This left Sora confused.
"When you said that, for some reason, I felt..." Kotonoha paused again, "Oh, nevermind. I'm just rambling."
Sora felt curious about what Kotonoha was about say, but he didn't want to bother her with such details, instead, this is what he had to say, "You know, Katsura-san, if you have any problems, you can talk to me about it." Sora said.
"Thank you." Kotonoha thanked, "But, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, shoot." Sora answered.
"Why have you been so kind to me, even after I rejected you the way I did?" Kotonoha asked. Sora found it hard to answer that one. He could say that he wanted to be closer to her, but he felt nervous, and thought it might be painful to say aloud.
"I'm sorry, I'm just curious that's all. You're such a nice person, and I don't mean to pry." Kotonoha explains, "So, let's go." Kotonoha said. Moments later, they starting walking together.
Makoto and Sekai wait patiantly for Kotonoha to arrive. They see her and Sora, and wave at them.
(Sora) I think I've gotten even closer to Katsura-san then I realized; she thinks I'm funny, and that I'm nice, and feels a lot more comfortable around me. Not that I'm complaining, in fact I'm not complaining at all. I'm really happy, that I got to talk to her, without feeling so tense.
I guess I'm okay now. Plus, I learned, that she's even cuter when she laughs.
BW: And that's it.
Sekai: That was... interesting.
BW: Which part? That BIG kiss scene, or Sora's moment of greatness.
Taisuke and Tetsuo (Crying): DON'T MAKE LIGHT OF OTHERS MISFORTUNE, WHICH WERE CAUSED BY YOU AND YOUR WRITING!" (began beating up BW)
Sekai (sweatdrop): See you guys later.
