Section 6: What Happened After That...
They entered the tea house. Akira was a little early that day. Upon seeing Hikari, she immediately shouted.
"HIKARI!!!" Akira shouted as she ran to hug Hikari. Then she pointed an accusing finger at Kei.
"YOU! What did you do to my Hikari-chan?!" Akira asked.
"Nothing." Kei said as he walked towards his usual spot.
"Sigh, don't be so noisy in the morning Akira." Tadashi said as he entered the room.
"Shut up!" Akira shouted as she stepped on Tadashi's back and jumped on it.
"Ah! Gomen Gomen!!!" Tadashi uttered but the fight continued.
Hikari went to her usual seat, quietly waiting for something to happen. The rest were just looking at her, she was holding her clothes and was in daze.
'He couldn't really have seen it. He didn't. What if he did?!' Hikari thought, arguing with herself in her mind.
Akira decided to talk to her.
"Ehm, Hikari-chan, are you okay?" Akira asked, sitting next to her.
"……………." Hikari didn't say anything, still holding her clothes near her chest.
"Hikari?" Tadashi asked as he waved his hand in front of her.
"……………." Hikari still didn't reply. Kei noticed her, he sighed and decided to tell her the truth.
"I was just joking earlier." Kei suddenly said, this made everyone look at him.
"What? What is it?" Akira asked, standing up and grabbing Kei's collar. Then, slowly, they saw Hikari's head turn to Kei, her eyes wide.
"Are you sure?" Hikari started to speak. Everybody just looked at them.
"Yeah." Kei simply said.
.........................................................................................................................................................SILENCE........................................................................................................................................................................
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" Hikari let out a loud, relaxed sigh and ended the silent atmosphere..
"What was that about?" Ryuu asked, sipping his tea.
"I have no idea." Jun said.
"Look at her, she's dancing." Megumi wrote.
Indeed, Hikari was dancing, Akira and Tadashi just looked at her. Kei just continued typing on his laptop, laughing.
"Whew, I thought you saw my…" Hikari said but stopped midway of the sentence because everybody stared at her. Kei, too, looked at her, interested in what she was going to say.
"What? What did he see?" Tadashi asked, smiling knowingly.
"You thought I saw what?" Kei asked, urging her to continue, everyone was waiting too.
"Ahhh..you know..erm..nothing." Hikari lied while nervously laughing. Kei laughed again, teasing her. An angry pulse appeared on her head as she looked at Kei but her eyes caught Kei's lips, she squeaked, looked away and blushed.
'Why am I remembering this now?!' Hikari thought as she remembered their kiss.
"Something wrong Hikari?" Akira asked. Kei looked at her and noticed that Hikari was avoiding his gaze. He laughed which made everyone look at him in a weird way.
"Kei, you've been laughing way too much today." Ryuu pointed out. Kei smiled.
"What's wrong with that? Don't you find her amusing?" Kei said.
"Right. Amusingly weird." Tadashi said. Kei laughed again.
"Watch this." Kei said to the guys. He turned to Hikari, "Hikari!" he called her.
"What?" Hikari said as she looked back at Kei. She raised an eyebrow at him.
Kei smiled evilly. Hikari continued to stare at him until she noticed that his lips were moving. Kei bit his lower lip and slowly licked it. Hikari's eyes widened as her mouth dropped to the ground. She rushed to Kei and hit him in the back of his head.
"IDIOT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Hikari shouted, completely mortified.
"I'm not doing anything." Kei laughed while rubbing the back of his head and making kissing sounds.
"STOP IT!!!!" Hikari shouted as she went to her seat and covered her ears. Kei laughed loudly.
"Nice results." Kei laughed.
"Ohhhkay…I think I know what happened." Tadashi smiled.
"Me too." Ryuu agreed.
"Good job Kei-kun." Jun smiled.
"I think I'm going to faint." Akira said, walking away towards her kitchen.
Ryuu, Jun and Megumi started playing chess while Tadashi was waiting for the food. Hikari was eyeing Kei and Kei was smirking evilly.
"What the hell, this guy is mocking me." Hikari whispered.
"Yeah, I am mocking you." Kei whispered back. Hikari sweat dropped.
"As usual, he heard me." Hikari said.
After a few minutes, Akira came out of the kitchen, bringing with her trays of sandwiches. Tadashi jumped and went near Akira.
"AKIRA!!! I LOVE YOU!!!" Tadashi suddenly shouted while looking at the foods she made. Akira looked at Tadashi, wide-eyed and blushing. Everybody was shocked.
"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted, well, except for Megumi and Kei of course but Tadashi didn't seem to hear them.
"ITADAKIMASU!! Oh, I love the food!" Tadashi added. Akira was mad, really really mad.
"Karino Tadashi…." She started, her eyes blazing.
"Oh no, here it comes." Megumi wrote, scared. Tadashi looked at Akira.
"Uhm..I'm sor—" Tadashi began but it immediately ended because a punch came after the word "sor".
"Oh…" Kei started, forming a big 'oh' with his lips. "He said 'sor' so he SOARED way up in the sky." Kei commented. Akira was still angry, Hikari forced her to sit down then calmed her down.
"Oh c'mon Akira, you know him." Hikari smiled.
"I hate that guy." Akira said.
The same as usual.
"Oh yeah, Hikari." Kei said, catching her attention.
"What?" Hikari asked.
"Exams are coming, I hope you'll beat me now." Kei said. Hikari came back to reality as Kei's rival.
"SHUT UP! I'm DEFINITELY GOING TO BEAT YOU!" Hikari said with a triumphant smile.
"We'll see." Kei smirked which made Hikari become irritated.
Days passed by again with same things happening as usual.
~After a week or two~
S. still the same. Same people, same greenhouse, same tea time and same RANK. The test results came out.
"WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?!" Hikari shouted as she saw the ranking.
Special A-Class Ranking
01. Takishima Kei
02. Hanazono Hikari
03. Yamamoto Jun
04. Yamamoto Megumi
05. Karino Tadashi
06. Toudou Akira
07. Tsuji Ryuu
"Wahahahaha.." Kei suddenly entered with a freakish laugh. Hikari looked at him, scared.
"What are you? Some kind of a Psycho?" Hikari asked, suddenly, she felt Kei's arm draped over her shoulder.
"C'mon let's celebrate!" Kei teased. Hikari felt an arrow hit her heart.
"No way! Why would I celebrate when YOU won?!" Hikari said as she ran towards the green house with Kei following her slowly.
"They started it again." Tadashi said.
"How come I'm always sixth?!" Akira said as she punched Tadashi.
"How come I always get punched?!" Tadashi asked as he flew.
"Oh, 3rd again." Jun smiled.
"I'm 4th." Megumi wrote.
"As usual, 7th." Ryuu sighed.
~THE GREENHOUSE~
They were doing the usual things until another surprise, surprised them. [A/N: redundant much?] The doors flew open.
"YOU?!" Everyone said. Some shouted.
Ushikubo Sakura. Upon seeing her, Kei stood up and went in front of Hikari. Hikari was in daze, remembering the day that she was almost taken advantage of. Kei, without thinking twice, held her hand and looked at her.
"Don't remember those things, it's in the past." Kei smiled. Hikari looked at him, still in daze.
"What are you doing here?" Kei asked, turning his attention to Sakura. Sakura looked at him.
"Nothing.." Sakura said slowly. Everyone looked at her.
"You went here for nothing? Don't try to act funny." Akira said.
"It's better if you leave before Kei turns evil." Ryuu advised her.
"Please be careful." Megumi wrote.
"Go away." Kei said simply. Sakura sighed.
"I'm here to apologize okay?!" Sakura shouted, blushing. 'This is embarrassing.' She thought.
"Apologize? After what you did to Hikari?" Kei said, darkness surrounded him. "You made her cry didn't you?!" Kei said, walking towards Sakura.
Sakura just stood there, afraid of Kei. Everyone was trying to keep Kei away from Sakura as much as possible.
"I'm really sorry." Sakura apologized again, now crying. Hikari, after hearing her sobs, woke up from her reverie and approached Sakura. She smiled.
"Don't worry. Apology accepted." Hikari smiled at Sakura.
"Really?" Sakura asked again.
"Please don't cry." Hikari said.
"You don't hate me?" Sakura asked. Hikari snorted.
"I did hate you for what you did but how can this fight end if 'some' people don't know how to forgive?" Hikari said, glancing at Kei as he said the words 'some people'. Kei shrugged.
'I did it for you.' Kei mouthed.
'Just let it go. Ok?' Hikari mouthed back. Kei sighed and nodded.
"So, we're okay now?" Sakura asked.
"Uhuh.. Don't worry." Hikari smiled. Then, all of a sudden, they became friends, as if nothing happened. Everyone rolled their eyes.
"Okay, two idiots are here, I think we're going to explode sooner or later." Tadashi said.
"I hate how girls just fight one minute, then become friends again after that." Kei sweat dropped. "Well, as long as she's happy." Kei smiled as he looked at Hikari.
"Now that's what you call being in love." Ryuu said, looking at Kei. Then, Sakura took a look at her surroundings.
"Wow, you've got a nice greenhouse." Sakura said.
"yeah, oh I forgot to introduce you." Hikari said. "well, you know Takishima, Akira, Tadashi and Ryuu." Hikari said as Sakura smiled at all of them. "Then, here's Megumi and Jun, our twins." Hikari continued.
"Hello." Sakura said as she bowed to them. The 2 bowed back.
"Nice to meet you." Megumi wrote.
"I hope we can all be friends." Jun smiled.
Sakura looked up and saw the handsome boy in front of her. Her mouth was wide open and some drool was visible. Hikari laughed.
"Uhm. Sakura. You're drooling." Hikari laughed. Sakura woke up and a sipping sound was heard.
"Oh sorry. Uh, who are you again?" Sakura asked.
"Jun. Yamamoto Jun." Jun said, slowly backing away.
"Hi! I'm Sakura! Will you be mine?" Sakura said, straightforwardly.
"WHAT?!" Everyone shouted, excluding Megumi and Kei.
"Uhm. Sorry, I can't." Jun said but instead of crying, Sakura smiled more.
"It's okay. I can wait. Let's spend every moment of our life together!" Sakura said as she locked her arms around Jun's arm and they walked out of the greenhouse.
"WAIT! I THOUGHT YOU LIKE KEI?!" Hikari shouted at her.
"THE HECK WITH TAKISHIMA KEI!" Sakura shouted back. "NO OFFENSE BUT JUN IS MY MAN NOW! I'LL RETURN HIM BACK LATER!" Sakura shouted.
"RYUU!!!! MEGUMI!!!" Jun shouted too but they were instantly gone.
"No wait!" Ryuu shouted.
"Uhm..do you think Sakura's gonna be okay? You know, Jun's illness." Tadashi asked.
"I'm more worried about my brother." Megumi wrote.
"I think that girl can handle it." Kei said.
"Well, that was weird." Akira said.
"Maybe this'll be a good thing. Don't worry too much Megumi, Ryuu." Hikari said. Kei looked at her.
"Right, speaking of good things, what about the good thing I asked a while ago, about our celebration today?" Kei said. Hikari blushed.
"What the hell is up with you today Takishima?!" Hikari stood up. Kei, too, stood up from his seat and grabbed Hikari's hand.
"Nothing, I'm just being myself. So, shall we?" Kei said as he dragged her out.
'I'll start my move, so that we can improve our relationship.' Kei thought.
'What's up with this? What are you thinking Takishima?' Hikari thought, looking at Kei.
