Chapter 5

Hitomi flickered a single strand of her hair as she walks towards the biology laboratory to check everyone form year 2, class 2.

"Wow, I'm surprised that everyone is doing well." When Hitomi turned her head to look at Haiiro,

"What the heck are you doing?!" Hitomi glared at Haiiro playing around with the poor, poor, experimental frog. (No pun intended)

"Get a grip Haiiro! Are you crazy? You're playing with a frog! You're not a child! We are supposed to open the body of it and not to toss it up air, baka!" Hitomi angrily shouted, while pointing at him. Shouting to Haiiro was usual scenery in the school, and everyone knows that. Days at Kunitachi High School won't be complete without the loud-as-a-megaphone-voice of Hitomi echoing inside the school. Rarely sometimes, outside the school. She looked at the container of her frog, which was her project before. It was empty.

"What-my…my… frog! My project!" Hitomi had gone fiery, insane, and violent. She was very furious.

"You're playing with my project!" Hitomi pulled the neckline of Haiiro's uniform and raised him up. She was incredibly strong, especially when Haiiro matters. She started shaking him violently.

"Don't you know how hard it is to catch that frog?! I got into the police and I almost got an accident!!! And now you're only using it for fun?!?"

So here's the story:

"Okay class, you're project for biology class will be… frogs. You're going to catch a single frog and preserve it inside a transparent jar. You should pass it after this week. Nichiyobi ~ni desu. (On Sunday)" It was Thursday. Okay. 3 days more and I should pass my project.

I went to the park where Minoru told me to go. She said there lots of frogs there that I can catch. So I went there.

Then of course, I saw one. I carefully chased it and then at first it wasn't hard for me to catch it, I easily grabbed its legs. When I was going to put it inside the jar, it escaped. I ran and ran to catch it again. I even fell on a mud and I was really dirty and wasted.

"Hey! Come back here!!!"

People were staring at me in curiosity. They were like wondering whom I was chasing.

"Come back here!!! If I'll catch you, you'll sure get my biggest surprise!!!"

I finally stood up and I wasn't really minding where I am going. I didn't notice I was in the middle of the road. The cars thankfully, pulled on their breaks. I almost got hit by a car.

"Wahh!"

"Hey! Watch it, kid! Where are your parents?!" The driver went out from the car, angry.

"I'm not a kid! Hey frog!" I said angrily.

"What the… you calling me a frog? You don't have respect towards elders! Hey, wait!!!" The driver even chased me. Now, I was chasing the frog. Then the driver was chasing me back.

I ran faster and faster. Then I entered a narrow street where typical Japanese house are there. I slammed in the sliding door and then I made a hole with the shape of me there. The old lady screamed in horror.

"Ahh! What are you doing here?! Oh my!" The lady reached for the phone and she called the police. "A burglar is here! Burglar! Help!"

"Wait, wait, no! I'm not a burglar! I am chasing a frog that's why I accidentally entered your house, ma'am. The frog went here!"

"Shut up, kid!" Whoa, that wasn't usual. Old ladies don't usually say that.

"Same old alibis!"

Then the police car's siren was heard. I turned back again and ran away from the man, the lady and the police.

"God! This frog making me look crazy! Oh damn."

After that, I ended up in the police headquarters.

"So, kid. Explain everything." The police officer said, while munching on the donuts.

"I was chasing a bullfrog." I said, with blank reactions. I didn't know how to react anymore. I was freaking tired.

"And?"

"That's it. The root of my story."

"That's just crazy. A frog? Is this the suspect?"

"Yes."

"Well then, I'll give this to you. But if you ever do this again…be thankful I am the police you've landed. I already experienced what you had. Go now, kiddo."

"Thanks."

And that's the end of the story.

"Oh no." Haiiro mumbled.

"Oh yes!!!" Hitomi and Haiiro ran out of the room chasing each other. The frog landed on Kenji's hands.

"Get it off! Get it off!"

Until everyone threw away the frog. Then the frog slammed the glass window and it went out. Be free, frog! Be free!

"Yeah! You've better run! Don't make me catch you or else you'll be a dead frog!" Hitomi pointed while chasing after Haiiro.

"It's his fault!" "It's her fault!" Both of them pointed at each other.

"My fault?!? It was mine?!? What an insult! It was my project and you were playing with it like a kid reborn yesterday!" Hitomi exclaimed trying to chill off the lava on her extremely red face.

"Okay. Okay. I can see that it's both ofyour faults. If Hitomi didn't get angry, no one will run back and forth at the stairs. If Haiiro didn't get to play with your frog, you won't get angry. Hey, for your information, I've got it recorded on cam!" Minoru showed her video camera, then she got something from her bag.

"I just got an idea!" Minoru giggled.

"NO!" Hitomi said, because she can see it that it wasn't such a good idea.

"Here. Starting today, until next Tuesday, you'll be handcuffed. If someone fights, I'll extend for a day. Hitomi, I know you had this telekineticsisis… telekinetis… oh whatever! You're not allowed to use it. If you will, I'll extend it for another week. For the mean time, I'll stay in your apartment. Would that be fine?" Minoru explained and outsmarted Hitomi who was already thinking that she might use her powers to escape. Minoru blew her fingers.

" Wait! No! No! No! No way! But what if when…when I take a bath or when nature calls?" (If you know what I mean.) Hitomi was moving her hands trying to get away.

"Oh that. Well you can take it off, but after that, you should put your hand handcuffed back again or else… same to you Haiiro-kun."

The next day…

"Who is the Prime Minister of Japan today?" Hitomi raised her hand which is still handcuffed together with Haiiro's hand also raised.

"Eh… yes, Hitomi… yes, Haiiro… Who am I talking to?" The teacher cried out and pulled her hair.

"What's the answer?" Haiiro asked.

"I won't tell you."

"Tell me or I won't be good to you."

"Fine. Taro Aso, okay?!"

"Taro Aso." Haiiro said, and he did take advantage of their handcuffed moments.

At Hitomi's apartment…

"I can't believe Haiiro will be staying here… shit. Excuse me but, I'll take this off. I'll be taking my shower and change clothes." Hitomi said, while taking off the handcuff.

"Minoru, Be the lookout for that idiotically maniac. You know what to do." Hitomi proceed to the bathroom.

Hitomi, Minoru and Haiiro were on their pajamas. They were ready to sleep now but not Haiiro. Haiiro was taking of his shirt.

"What are you doing?!" Hitomi said and she almost saw his muscular chest. She grabbed a pillow and slapped it on Haiiro.

"I can't sleep if I won't!"

"Don't! Besides, you- I mean we are going to sleep on the same bed! It matters to me, you know!" Hitomi shivered.

"Fine, I won't take it off."

"Minoru?" Hitomi made a puppy-dog face.

"OH no, not that face. Nope. Nope. I won't take that off."

"Okay then. But if you dimwit do something really wrong be prepared!"

The three of them were sleeping now. There was only one blanket. Hitomi pulled the blanket to cover herself, alone. Haiiro did the same thing.

"Give it to me… let go... idiot… give it to me…" Hitomi murmured. When Haiiro didn't let go, she pulled it annoyingly and threw it away so to be fair.

Later on, Hitomi was chilling. Haiiro wasn't asleep again and he noticed it. He carefully got the blanket, not to pull Hitomi's arms to wake her up. Instead of using the short blanket that wasn't enough for him, he laid the blanket over Hitomi. Sweet, eh?

Finally they were asleep , Hitomi uttered:

"Thank you, idiot… good night."

Haiiro woke up and smiled. He wanted to reply back, to hug her, but he didn't.
