jychan: I don't own Prince Of Tennis!!!..

20. Seiichi's Confession

I bit my lip.

Should I really see Seiichi-kun?

Well, you want to know why?

Earlier, I had a deal with him that I was going to meet him today.

Flashback

"Kumiko-chan?"

"Ah hai."

"Are you OK already?"

" Hai."

"Are you free later?"

"Hai."

"Are you sure?"

"Hai."

"Can we see each other?"

"Eto... Hai!"

"Great. So, is it OK then if it's later?"

"Hai."

"So, where do I meet you? Here in Kanagawa?"

"There? "

"Ah. Wait. How about in the Park where you brought us in Tokyo?"

"Hai. Arigato."

"For what?"

"You know for coming the other day and also for the Cappuccino."

"Sou ka. So, I guess you're fine already."

"Hai."

"So, it's later around 4:00."

"Hai."

"Ja, Kumiko."

"Ja, Seiichi-kun."

End Of Flashback

But I don't know.

I'm getting confused.

I looked on my wrist watch.

As time passes by, my heart goes doki doki for no reason at all!!!

Usually, this happens during exams or contests, but not in this situation! Why would I be nervous on meeting with Seiichi-kun! Could it be because of what happened the last time? When I was about to kiss him?

I felt my cheeks go hot and I buried my face on my hands.

I'm like getting embarrassed for no reason at all!

I sighed and sat down on the bench.

Currently, I'm here in the Park, waiting for Seiichi-kun. You know, the park, where I brought him and his team mates when they had a Field Trip here in Tokyo.

Earlier during lunch, he told Kaori-senpai to give me her phone so that he could talk to me, in which, he told me to meet me here in the Park.

But I wonder why...

I sighed as I noticed that there were only a few people here in the Park. But I wonder why.

I looked up to the sky.

Uh-oh...

It's going to rain any minute now. Better look for a place to stay. But then, how about Seiichi-kun? What if he gets wet and waits for me here?

I know!

I better call...

I looked through my bag to find my cellphone.

Shoot.

I forgot my cellphone.

I left it in our house!

How forgetful could I be!

I sighed and then, soon, I felt something wet.

It was already glistening.

I went through my bag.

Luckily, I have my umbrella. And so, I opened it and continued waiting for Seiichi-kun.

Normal POV

A few minutes passed and Kumiko was still waiting for Seiichi, who came a little later.

"Kumiko-chan? Why are you still here? It's raining! Wait. Let's go under somewhere that's not wet!"

Seiichi said as he dragged Kumiko and they went under the slides in the Playground,

"Seiichi-kun! Where were you! I got worried about you! I was worried that you got into an accident! How could you! I was waiting for you. Luckily, I had an umbrella with me!"

Kumiko said as she continued on hitting Seiichi's chest,

"Kumiko, gomen nassai. And don't worry I wasn't in an accident. It was simply because of some slight traffic. It's quite far from Kanagawa to Tokyo."

"Eh? Gome-."

Kumiko was cut when she raised her head to find that their faces were very near to each other.

"Seiichi-kun..."

"Kumiko-chan, what I wanted to say was that..."

Seiichi bented his face a bit and kissed a surprised Kumiko, and then, released her a few moments later,

"Aishteru."

Kumiko, who was all shocked and surprised from what happened just a few seconds ago, bit her lip.

'What's happening? Why did Seiichi-kun just say I love you, to me?'

Kumiko thought as she ran outside in the pouring rain while Seiichi just called her,

"Kumiko-chan! Don't! It's raining."

'I'm getting more and more confused. What's happening to me?'

Kumiko thought and continued on running until she saw a familiar brunette,

"Tezuka-chan?"

"Fuji-senpai?"

"You're all drenched."

"Hai."

"I'll bring you home, I suppose."

Fuji offered as Kumiko nodded,

"Hai. Please do, Fuji-senpai."

Kumiko accepted as Fuji shared his umbrella with her and the two of them started on walking,

Unknown to Kumiko and Fuji, Seiichi saw the two of them walking along the road.

"I guess... I got my answer then."

jychan: Seiichi-kun, I never wanted to torture you. Gomen Seiichi-kun! I'm so mean! Now, I'd like to thank animelover098765, unknown player, ksm013, fanfic addict anonymous, sayume214, for their reviews!!! Finally, I've got lots of reviews... T-T (tears of joy!) Waa... I never expected this ever in my life... because you know, in the past, all I ever got were flames... try seeing my past reviews!!! flame here, flame there! T-T

ksm013: Actually, I don't know with Kaori... I'll try on asking her sometime on why she transferred to Seigaku. But I'll give you a clue. When Ochibi asked her why she transferred to Seigaku, she immediately changed the subject.

animelover098765: REALLY? THANKS! THANKS! HONTOU NI YOKATTA DESU! ARIGATO GOZAIMASU!

fanfic addict anonymous XP: -joins in dancing- I finished another chapter! Yup. Don't worry I'll keep on writing... Actually, Kaori's quite lucky for a girl since like you said she's pretty friendly with Seigaku and Rikkai Dai regulars... Waa.... She's even first name basis with Tezuka, Seiichi, Yagyuu, Sanada, and Yanagi!!! What a lucky girl...

sayume214: Nice stategy, noh!! LOL... Hai. She likes Tezuka. And I don't know with Seigaku's resident ice block, it seems I don't know. Even I, the author, has no idea on how that ice block feels towards Kaori... Geesh... And yes, she's unusual... She may seem like a Mary Sue, but it's in her nature to give nicknames. And she's quite cheerful and loud for a girl, neh??? I'll try making her sad some time... -sadist mode-

unknown player: I definitely suck with English, that's why I often wonder why I got an A+ with my 4Q grade in English... It's quite a miracle... LOL... There's more Seiichi here but it's definitely an angst chapter for Seiichi... Nighty-night!
