(continue with what happened in Chapter 1)
After that time on Valentines day, Ruri has feel different about Shuu as well as feeling harder to meet or face him. Shuu as a sharp minded as he is, realize that in no-time. He confront her one day.
It was an quiet afternoon, Shuu and Ruri is on turn with the class clean up. While mopping the floor, Ruri sometimes looks over to Shuu who is standing across the room from her. Her face slighty blushes red when she notice that now, ALL OF THEIR CLASS MATE has gone home, leaving the dawn coming with Shuu and Ruri alone in the class ! Suddenly, the quiet Atmosphere was broken as Shuu tries to break the asked
"Hey Ruri...Uhm..."
As Ruri interupted him by blabbering words that doesn't make sense
"Huh ? Whaa...uhm...what ?"
Along with it is her ice cold face. Shuu continues
"Well...it's just that...I GOT CONFESS BY A JUNIOR CLASS ~ JEALOUS ? HOHOHO"
Pissed off with his slick and trolling attitude, she leaps in the air, twist her waist and give him a round house kick ! He flipped harder than my pancake this morning ! As he tries to get up from the group, she place her foot on his face with a killing aura over her and a killing eyes ! Shuu quickly said
"THAT WAS A JOKE, A JOKE !"
After getting up, Shuu suddenly got serious and asked
"All joke aside...what's going on ?"
"What do you mean ? Everything's fine !"
"I was asking about your day...but since you said that ! Are you OK ?"
Shuu knew perfectly what was going on, but he wanted her to say it, Ruri was a strong and smart girl, he knew she could've pull through, what he doesn't know that he was the problem ! Ruri turn her face away, pushes up her glasses in and said
"nothing, everything's fine ! Why do you asked ?"
"Oh...i don't know, i see Ruri-chan has been quite odd lately...is it because of your grandfather ?"
After hearing that, Ruri turns around to face Shuu directly but stumble upon his unsual expression...his eye is kind, his smile is geniune, he was truly worried, not to mess with her or some kind of joke ! She have nothing to say, she wasn't mad, she wasn't shy, she is simply glad. She's glad for she realize that Shuu has been thinking of her, one way or another ! She's glad since she can once again see this face of Shuu. Then she turn around with her cool facial expression and said
"Actually, yes, it's because Kosaki hasn't made any progress with Ichijo ! That stubborn girl, she made me worry everytime"
Shuu didn't asked much, he didn't question her answer but instead he trust her right away, no doubt ! He smile and said
"Haaa...Wing man and Woman like us are sure always depress of them huh ? Of Raku and Kosaki...it's funny..."
"Don't take me to the same rank as you !...What's funny ?"
"It's just that...you always seem to be so cold...and stiff ! Like a very serious person...but i'm sure i've seen you more than that...Ruri-chan"
She slightly blushes as he says it, she smile a little bit knowing that she isn't the only one thinking about him, she wasn't clear of her felling that time, she thought of him simply as a trouble maker, an annoying little guy...but right that moment, she thinks of him like a friend...realizing that, she quickly return to the cold expression and said
"it's none of your bussiness ! besides, aren't you the one to talk ? With your hidden motive as a funny guy while all the time helping your best friend ?"
"I guess we both figured it out ? Well...i'm done on my side...i'm gonna go ahead...see you later !"
While Shuu turns to the door, Ruri reaches her hands out, trying to hold him, the light of dawn shines in their class room, as Ruri reaches out but suddenly pull back as Shuu turns around and almost notice her action ! He asked
"Is there something on my back ?"
"huh ? uh...YEAH...there's a bug on your back ! It's gone now...well...see you later"
"yeah...thanks Ruri"
He said and smile as a good bye, after he left the room, then realize it was the first time he called her name without the "chan" or anything behind ! She was on cloud-nine ! Nothing can ruin this for her, then she realize Kosaki was waiting for her from the time the bell rang. She grab her stuff and dashes faster then me when i ate Taco bell and comes down at the gates...what she did not expected was Shuu being there ! She asked
"What happened ? where's Kosaki"
"Oh, i came down here and told her to go home, i also told her i'll company you home...wooo ?"
She was slightly pissed off due to the fact that Kosaki can left like that, but also happy because Kosaki can left like that ! She said
"Well, i don't think saying no will make you stop...suit yourself !"
Then they started walking, it was nothing special, no events or anything, but it was everything that Ruri wanted for today, times only for the two. Shuu is suprisingly quiet today, he only humb a litte tunes over and over, but it didn't bother Ruri one bit ! Mid way, Shuu said
"Well, this is where we part...see you later"
And left, Ruri although was happy but she still wishes for a little bit more time...
