A.D.: New pen name for me! AceDetective was too long so I shortened it. Persona 4 and Halfway don't belong to me. I only own myself and my plot.
Third Person P.O.V
"Ugh! I can't believe him! I can't believe he..he kissed me!" Naoto exclaimed while getting crazed looks form Rise, Chie, and Yukiko. School was over and they were going over Naoto's house to discuss what song they were going to sing.
"Naoto, calm down" Chie said. Naoto didn't stop pacing but threw her arms into the air, "I know I'm being crazy but I can't get over it!"
Chie was about to say something but sneezed,"Achoo!"
Rise grimaced, "Ew Chie watch where you sneeze! I don't want what you have!"
Yukiko was too busy looking through her bag to be disgusted by Chie's manners.
"Bless you Chie." Yukiko said. Chie grinned, "Thank you!"
Naoto shot Chie a worried look, "Chie, are you sure you'll be able to play on Friday?"
Chie nodded, "Yup! I will be fine. I doesn't have a real cold yet so I'll be able to get over by Friday."
Yukiko sighed, "Ugh I left my notebook in my homeroom. I have to go so you guys go ahead without me."
The girls nodded and said goodbye for now. Yukiko turned on her heels and walked back to her homeroom. Yukiko had been forgetting a lot of things lately. Probably because she's been focused on avoiding Kanji. The boy won't give up and she don't get why. She's just a nerd who plays piano. He can get any girl he wants to do that for him so why her?
Yukiko make it to her homeroom, trying to get her mind off Kanji. "Ugh! Where is it?!" She said, more fustrated with herself than the notebook.
Why can't Kanji just get out my head?
"Aha! Finally caught you slushy girl!"
Yukiko rolled her eyes. Speak of the devil.
"Please not now Tatsumi. I am so not in the mood." Yukiko looked up quickly from her desk, "And stop calling me that. My name's Yukiko Amagi." Kanji didn't say anything back. He pulled a chair up to my desk and sat down, watching her fail to find her notebook.
Kanji broke the silence since she clearly wasn't gonna talk to him, "Hey you know what I like about these desks? They make for good drums. See? Listen." He started to bang on the desk. Yukiko watched him make a beat with the desk. This made him grinned because he had finally gotten her attention. They locked eyes for a second. Yukiko quickly looked away and put her attention back on her notebook. Kukai then got an idea to make her pay attention to him.
Kanji
Cool, I spent my time just thinkin' thinkin' thinkin' bout you Every single day, ´cause I'm really missin' missin' you
Yukiko reluctantly glanced at Kanji only to find her was staring at her, never looking away. She wondered if Kanji meant what he was singing.
And all those things we use to, use to, use to, use to do Hey girl, what's up, we used to used to be just me and you
Yukiko let out a small laugh the dramatic sadness on Kanji's face
I spent my time just thinkin' thinkin' thinkin' bout you Every single day, ´cause I'm really missin' missin' you And all those things we use to, use to, use to, use to do Hey girl what's up yo... what's up, what's up, what's up
Yukiko
Can you meet me halfway, right at the borderline That's where I'm gonna wait, for you
Yukiko smiled at Kanji as she sang. Kanji grinned, finally hearing the vioce he wanted so desperately to hear.
I'll be lookin' out, night n'day Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay
Yukiko took her bookbag off her chair and sat down. Now her and Kanji were facing each other.
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yukiko
I can't go any further than this
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yukiko
I want you so bad it's my only wish
Kanji
Girl, I travel round the world and even sail the seven seas
Kanji's desk beat was replaced by Yukiko clapping the beat.
Across the universe I'll go to other galaxies Just tell me where to go, just tell me where you wanna meet I navigate myself myself to take me where you be
Kanji pointed at Yukiko and winked. This made her roll her eyes playfully.
Cause girl I want I, I... I want you right now I travel uptown (town) I travel downtown. Wanna have you around (round) like every single day I love you alway, way I'll meet you halfway
Yukiko
Can you meet me half way Right at the borderline That's where I'm gonna wait, for you
They looked eyes but this time Yukiko didn't look away. Their playful smiles disappeared. Kanji noticed how pretty her eyes were.
I'll be lookin' out, night n'day Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay
As she stared into Kanji's eyes, she realized who she was with.
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
The enemy. A popular. A guy who messes with people just for fun.
Yukiko
I can't go any further than this
Yukiko slowly got up, earning a concerned look from Kanji.
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yukiko kept walking away from Kanji until she came to the wall.
Yukiko
I want you so bad it's my only wish
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
No matter how much she didn't want to she had to wake up from this dream.
Yukiko
I can't go any further than this
She clenched her fist.
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yukiko squeezed her eyes shut, telling herself it could never work between them.
Yukiko
I want you so bad it's my only wish
Kanji
Let's walk the bridge, to the other side Just you and I (just you and I) I will fly, fly the skies, for you and I (for you and I)
Kanji got up too but He did it quietly so he didn't scare her off.
I will try, until I die, for you and I, for you and I,
He wanted to see if she was okay. It freaked Kanji out that he was so worried about some girl he threw slushies a for fun.
For for for you and I, For for for you and I, for for you and I, for you and I
Yukiko
Can you meet me half way
Yukiko heard his voice getting louder. She was praying Kanji stopped coming closer.
Can you meet me half way
She could feel herself about to cry. But Kanji grabbed her wrist and turned her around.
Can you meet me half waaaay!
Kanji saw that her eyes were glassy.
Meet me half way, right at the borderline There's where I'm gonna wait, for you
He cupped Yukiko's cheek, trying to comfort her.
I'll be lookin' out, night n'day Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay
It took all Yukiko's will power to take Kanji's hand off her cheek. She backed up into the wall.
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
Kanji looked at her with the are you okay look. When he tried to move towards her, Yukiko held up her hand, signaling for him to stop.
Yukiko
I can't go any further than this
Kanji
Oh oh oh oh oh
Yukiko
I want you so bad it's my only wish
Silence hung over them. Yukiko was wiping away any escaped tears. She let a small laugh, "I'm sorry. I got a little emotional there." A smile graced Kanji's lips. He was relieved Yukiko was okay, "It's cool. I knew you couldn't resist." Yukiko rolled her eyes as walked over to her backbag. She'd have to forget the notebook, "A little self-centered, aren't we Tatsumi?" Kanji shook his head, "No I'm talking about singing. Ever since I heard she on the piano I could tell you like to sing."
Good thing her back she towards Kanji or he would have seen the smile on her face.
"What is with you and my singing?" Yukiko asked, putting her bookbag. Kanjii rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well, you sound like a girl I like. She's got big brown eyes, fiery red hair, and personality to match."
Yukiko stiffened, knowing he was talking about the other her. Yukiko walked towards the desk in front of Yukiko's and grabbed something out of it.
"But to be honest, your eyes are prettier. I think this is yours."
Yukiko took her notebook away from him. She didn't know whether to be happy because he thinks her eyes are pretty or mad that he hid her book.
"Oh will you please come play the piano me already? I'm getting tired of chasing you around."
Yukiko giggled which made Kanji smile, "Yeah can you stop doing that? Your fangirls are trying to murder me."
Yukiko headed to the exit but stopped in the doorway, "Be there on Friday five minutes after lunch starts. If you're even a second late I'm gonna leave."
Kanji nodded, "Wouldn't have it any other way"
~Time Skip~
Naoto sighed.
What song should we sing?
The girls had narrowed it down to 2 songs for Friday. Naoto got stuck with the final say.
She walked onto her balcony for some fresh air before she went to sleep. It helped her think.
Too bad she could only think about Souji. Naoto frowned.
Good for nothing slacker.
Naoto sighed. Why did it have this guy who invades her thoughts?
"Yo dork." Souji greeted, hanging over the railing causally. Naoto rubbed her temples.
"Ugh not right now Souji. I've got too much on my mind." She looked at Souji and then gasped, "Souji?!" Naoto exclaimed as she pionted. Souji smirked.
"The one and only," Souji said as he climb onto her balcony. Naoto was at a loss for words. Why was her mortal enemy here?!
Souji smirked even wider. "Nice PJs" Naoto bushed noticing she was in her hello kitty tank top and pajama short set. She pouted, crossing her arms across my chest.
"What do you want Souji?" Naoto asked angrily. He ran his fingers through his hair or that's what Naoto assumed. She didn't have her glasses on.
"Here." He handed her a bag of junk food. Some of them were her favorites.
"Its an apology for the other day at the library. That kiss was totally uncalled for and... I'm sorry" Naoto bit her lip. She was a softie so the guilt was now overflowing.
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have said all those things. And I don't completely hate you." Naoto smiled, surprised at how much she meant those words.
Souji chuckled at her words. Without her glasses and that smile on her face, she was way cuter than he thought. She actually looked familiar to him too.
Souji turned on his heels and a slight wave before jumping off Naoto's balcony.
Naoto shrugged and went into her room. She flopped onto her bed. She dumped the snacks on her bed and went through them.
That's when she saw it. The writing on the back of the Pocky. It said:
Goodnight Naoto
She was taken aback that Souji even knew her name. Naoto couldn't surpress the smile on her face.
"Goodnight Souji." She muttered to herself. She ate the pocky last.
