Chapter 3: Heart Capture

A nice and sunny day at a certain High School where our Iki Hiyori study. Yes, a lovely day indeed. She really tried to enjoy her high school life.

I repeat. Really tried.

"What's wrong Hiyorin~?" Kofuku walk closer to her while driking something unknown.

"Haahh... It's just... Haahh..." She sighed again. This made her pink haired friend to get curious. Remember, Kofuku always push someone in order to settle her curiosity.

"Hey~ Tell me~ AH! Is it about Yato-chan?" And the question bullet shot right into Hiyori's mind. It was definitely what she was thinking.

"Well... It was in the 3rd period when I got back from the restroom. Our floor restroom is on reparation, I used upper floor where Ya-I mean! Kuroki-senpai's class is..."

Let's look at the flashback shall we?

~Flashback~

Hiyori was walking in the upperclassmen corridor. There, she wonder... If she was also a second year, she can be in the same class as Yato.

"...A-ahh... What am I thinking...? I-I need to get back!" She walk slowly to the stairs, when she heard a loud noise coming from one of the upperclassmen classroom.

"Kazuma you jerk! Trying to say I'm dumb, are you?! Why don't you look back who was the one that helped you in the art class, huh?!"

"...That's what I heard... I wonder what makes him so upset..."

"Hmm~ Oh that~ You don't need to worry! In this kind of time, Yato-chan and Kazu-chan always fight about that~" Kofuku pat, no you can say she hit Hiyori's back a couple of times.

"Kazu-chan?" Hiyori gave a curious look at Kofuku "Mm! My other childhood friend! Haruta Kazuma!" Kofuku gave Hiyori her usual big smile. Hiyori always like that feature about Kofuku. It calms and make her feel relaxed.

"And this... Haruta-senpai. Is he in bad tearms with Kuroki-senpai?"

"Nope! They're the bestest buddies! But their personality kinda crashed to each other, so they often fight over silly things~ But they get along real quickly after that!" Hiyori can only nod hearing Kofuku's story. Even though Kofuku said she want Hiyori to be by Yato's side. She only have a little clue what his personality's like.

Kofuku has guessed what she was wondering about and decide to gave her a valuable information. " Nee, Hiyorin~ Let me tell you something~ Lend me your ear!"

Hiyori close the distance between her and Kofuku a little "What it is?"

"You see..."

The school day ends. Hiyori packed her things quietly. She looks outside the window. It's almost sunset. It reminds her, the first time she saw Yato's laughing face.

"Hiyorin~"

"Kofuku. Sorry, you can walk home with Ami-chan and Yama-chan. I have something to do..." Hiyori gave a sour smile. Her sign of hiding something, but Kofuku saw through it.

"Hey, Hiyorin~" Hiyori's eyes that was focused at zipping her bag was distracted to Kofuku.

"If you want to see Yato-chan that badly, you didn't have to make excuse~" Kofuku gave her a wink and run off to the door. Leaving Hiyori who was steaming and blushing like a boiled vegetable.

"Tha...That's not it!"

"Really! Why did Kofuku have to mention that?" She stump her own feet outside the school building. She stopped for a second. She has a feeling that she kind of want to see him. No. She really want to see him.

"I'm thinking too much. I need to get a drink."

Kofuku went to the nearest school vending machine near the sports equipment storage. Near that storage is a secret place where you can see the best sunset scenery from the school. With Yato that time...

"Ahhh! What am I thinking again?!" She shouted to herself. She saw her drink roll out from the machine. But... " ! " It got snatched by someone else hand.

"Yaayy~ I got a soda treat from Hiyori!"

"Ya-yato?!" Hiyori yelped in surprise. Seeing him in person when she was just thinking about him. The real him. In front of her.

He closed the distance between them a little "Okay! You pass!"

"...H-huh?" Hiyori didn't get what he was saying. Instead he gave her, his signature gentle smile.

"I thought you gonna call me with the annoying '-senpai' suffix again! But, seems you didn't forgot!" He change his gentle smile into a cheerful big grin. Hiyori's heart skips a beat seeing him like that.

"Oh, I was just kidding about the soda! You can have it back." He hand over the can of soda gently to Hiyori. "I-it's fine! You can have it! I can buy another one!" She laughed dryly. She was about to insert a coin into the vending machine, when Yato's hand was already ahead of inserting his coin first.

"I have to repay it somehow. Even though it's just soda." He smiled at her again. Her heart become really light seeing his usual gentle smile. She always wonder... If other girls saw that kind of smile on his face too...

"You're not going home yet?" Yato asked her when he was capturing something with his camera. Hiyori feels offended. Seems like he didn't want her to be near him. "Is it wrong for me to see you after school?" Yato looked at her out of reflect. His face was definitely bright red. Hiyori thought back what she was saying, and her face follow the same red color as Yato.

"I'm sorry... for saying something like that..." She said in a soft whispery voice.

"I-it's fine..." Yato got back on capturing the school yard with his camera. The atmosphere between them got wierd and tense somehow. Yato was about to say something when...

"It's no time for flirting!" His head got his by a classic literature rolled in text book by a brown-haired teenager with glasses. Hiyori thought, he was considered handsome at first sight.

"Hey! What are you trying to do, Kazuma?!" Yato yelled at him while rubbing his sore head. Kazuma hit him again. This time on his forehead.

"Seriously. You said, you're taking a short break. But you actually picturing stuff again. And plus flirting a junior!" Hiyori can only see Yato and Kazuma fight over small stuff. She let out a little laugh.

"I'm sorry for my friend childish acts towards you. I'll be continuing his harsh lessons afterwards." He said politely to Hiyori. And got back on giving Yato a cold glare. "N-no! He didn't cause any trouble. Please don't blame him, Haruta-senpai!"

Kazuma gave a curious look to Hiyori. "Oh, seems like Kofuku told something about me. It's good that you find a soft and kind girl like her, Yato. Don't mess this one up." Kazuma smiled to himself and left Yato alone with Hiyori again.

"Wha-?...Mind your own business!" Yato's face was in bright red color again. Hiyori never got to see him like this. It seems like both of Yato's friend understand his condition. When Kofuku said something to Hiyori earlier.

'You see, Yato-chan always loose his cool when he's with Kazu-chan. Don't you think it's a good chance to see his true side?'

And also Kazuma who said something that kind to be a supportive-warning to him.

"You have nice friends, Yato. They all care and understand a lot about you." Hiyori smiled at him. Yato look at her wide eyed "Yeah... I'm grateful that I met them." He smiled looking at the sky. The gentle evening breeze blew and make Yato's soft black hair flown by the wind. Hiyori who was seeing that also look at the sky. The fact that she didn't know, that Yato has been directing his camera to her direction all along.
