Chapter 11: Why I hate rain

When I left from club practice, it was raining hard. I was supposed to meet Akaito in kendo club because we were going to walk home together, but I honestly didn't want to go there because of Gakupo. Still, I headed towards the dojo and hoped Gakupo would've left already, but it didn't help.

There was no one in there except for him.

He was wearing a kendo uniform and he had a wooden sword in his right hand. He was apparently practicing, so I tried to sneak away without him noticing, but unfortunately he saw me.

"Kaito? What are you doing here?" he asked as he stopped moving the sword. Why the hell did Akaito do this to me? I'm so gonna pay for this...

"I was supposed to meet my brother here, but it looks like he isn't here", I answered and this time I didn't blush which was a great, concidering I always kept doing that in front of Gakupo. I was so proud of myself at the moment.

"Is he the one with red hair? He didn't even show up at the practice. He didn't tell you?" he said obviously surprised. Well, I hadn't checked my cellphone yet, so he might have told me. I took the phone out of my pocket and checked the messages. And of course, there was an email from my stupid asshole brother who was supposed to be here.

Hi Kaito, me and Mikuo are going out. I was supposed to tell you at the kendo
club, but it looked like it was going to rain, so we both decided we would
skip the club practice. I tried to find you before the school ended, but
failed so I couldn't tell you earlier. Anyways, I hope you won't be too soaked
when you get home ^^

"That bastard", I muttered to myself. It was raining so hard I would probably drown in there and if I wanted to wait for rain to end, I would be stuck in here for at least two hours. I raised my head, but didn't see Gakupo. Somehow, without me noticing, he had gone behind my back and read the email. What was he, a fucking ninja?! Oh yeah, I forgot he's the mighty, handsome samurai...

"It looks like you are going to get soaked since it's pouring so hard", he said. Since I hadn't noticed he was behind me, I jumped a little when I heard his voice. And by 'a little' I mean a lot. He chuckled at my probably amusing reaction and then got serious.

"Well, I'm going to stay here until the rain is over. I don't want to spend a week at home because of cold", he said. If he wasn't here, I would stay too, but since he is, I'm gonna spend that week at home. Little cold won't be bad, right?

"I'm gonna go home. Don't wanna be stuck at school because of little rain", I answered and headed towards the door and for some reason, he followed me. He probably was expecting me to stay here and accompany him but no, I won't fall for that one, I'm going home. "That doesn't look like little rain for me. I don't think you should go", he said with amused tone. He seriously was enjoying this, wasnt he? I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him I hate him...

"Oh shut up", I muttered as I walked in a hallway, he still following me.

When I finally reached the door that lead outside of the school, the rain had gotten even worse. Ignoring that, I opened the door, immediately hearing only very loud shaaa-voice the rain made. I barely saw anything because I was blinded by the huge wall of water. If I had to walk home now, I would probably get lost and hit my head all the time because of not seeing anything. And I also would be deaf after that, because the rain drops hit the ground so hard.

I suddenly closed the door and stepped back inside, turning around to see my teacher's smirk.

"I told you" were his smiple words. So, I was going to be stuck here with him and couldn't go home. That was just great...

"You have a car, why don't you use it?" I said bitterly.

He laughed sarcastically. "How do you think I'm supposed to drive that thing out there? Not gonna work, you know."

I admitted he was right and asked what were we supposed to do here. And of course, since he was a teacher, his answer was...

"Study."

"No way! I'm not gonna do that!" I protested, folding my arms and pouting. Yes, I did look like a moe-character, shut up already.

He sighed and said: "Then what are we supposed to do?" After all, this was a school. There automatically was nothing fun to do in here - oh well, except if you think math is fun. And that is not.

And then, he came up with an idea that was not half bad - wander in an empty school. It wasn't a bad idea since I had once read a manga, where few students get stuck in empty school and they start to disappear one by one, until no one is left. Empty schools are creepy, you must admit it. You never know what's around the corner; maybe a ghost of a librarian who has been bored to death, or a lunch lady who cooked students for food. Okay, now I started to get scared.

We had walked and chatted for a while I noticed that now that I knew something about him, he wasn't that bad at all. He was a teacher who knew something about FMA* and that was rare. And we both even liked the same type of music, which I hadn't excepted at all. (Seriously, he knew about all my favourite bands/artists! Maximum the Hormone, the GazettE, Miyavi...*)

Then, he suddenly placed his hand on my mouth (and surprisingly I really liked his scent) and pulled me into some small storage-room. God, I always knew he was a pedophile... He opened the door a little so we could see the hallway and then I realized he wasn't gonna rape me after all - and I was really reliefed.

I saw that the principal was walking in the hallway, glancing around him like he was making sure no one saw him. Although I didn't focus on him because I realized how close I was to Gakupo. I flushed and removed his hand from my face so I could ask what was he doing.

"I think he's hiding something. He always acts so weird and I want to know why", he whispered and watched how the gap between us and the principal got wider and wider. Then, when he turned around the corner, Gakupo pushed me away from the room and stepped away himself too. "We're going to follow him", he said and before I could say anything, he had grabbed my wrist and started to follow the principal, naturally dragging me with him.

It took some time until principal opened a door of the gym hall. We waited for a moment and then stepped in front of the door and cracked it open by few inches. We saw that there was a crimson carpet covering 1/10 of the gym and in middle of that carpet, there was a small, round table with a pentagram and three candles on it. There was also some kind of knive on the table too, and principal was standing in next to the table, muttering something in a language I didn't regonize.

"What the hell?" I whispered. My voice cracked a little because I was a little scared. And don't judge me, it was scary, it wasn't only raining now, there was even lightning outside, which made everything even scarier. So shut up.

"I think that's some kind of ritual... he's probably going to sacrifice something since there is that knive", Gakupo whispered back. He didn't seem to be scared, unlike me. His voice remained strong and he knew what to do. Shit... I really hate empty schools now... I thought. Principal had stopped muttering and now spoke japanese, even though I was so scared I didn't understand much of that either. But he did pray something, calling something out. Without realizing it, I came a little closer to Gakupo. I wanted to feel the warmth of his body at the moment.

The principal stopped talking and now took the knive from the table. He said something in that other language and then cut his hand. It seemed he didn't feel any pain, even though the cut bleed a lot and it was pretty deep. He put the hand above the pentagram and then dropped some blood on it. So there really is people like that... I shivered, waiting for something to happen. But there was nothing.

For a moment, he looked confused, but then looked in our way. Luckily, Gakupo was fast and then grabbed my wrist again and ran to the hallway, running until we reached the same storage-room we had been hiding in earlier. He pushed me in and closed the door behind us.

"Do you think he saw us?" I whispered and he shaked his head.

"He probably did, but I'm sure he didn't regonize us", he answered. I heard some steps outside the room. Someone was walking really fast, or maybe running. It was probably the principal, who was looking for us. When the steps got quieter and he was far away from us, I realized I was kind of sitting on Gakupo's lap. He was half sitting on a abandoned desk and I was so close to him I was on his lap. But I didn't even care. I only wanted to go home.

"Do you think he's gone?" I asked, looking at Gakupo. He relaxed a little and answered: "I think so. But we should stay here a little longer, just to make sure." I nodded. I was fine with the answer.

"What if he finds us?" I mumbled, mostly to myself. He smiled softly and said he would protect me from the evil ghosts if that happened. His voice relaxed me and now I really did sit on his lap. I blushed and leaned on his chest.

Okay, now I just want to make sure that you don't think anything perverted. I know you are a fujoshi since you are reading this, so you probably are thinking something like that. But I don't like that guy. I did that just because I didn't want to get cursed or that the stupid principal would get a voodoo doll of me. I was scared, okay? It's not everyday you see something like that. And now, we can continue the story.

We waited about ten minutes and then he stood up. I startled a little when he moved since I had fell in some kind of trance when I was sitting on his lap. He stepped to the door and opened it a little. He looked in both ways before saying it was fine now.

It was still raining when we were walking in the hallway and the rain had become even worse, which was not good. I didn't want to go outside, but I didn't want to stay here either since principal was here in the same building. Shit... My head hurts like hell.

"What are we gonna do now? I don't want to be in a same building with that freak", I said.

"As long as we are in a place where he can't suspect us, we're fine", he said and I realized we were going towards the kendo club. "If I tell him you asked me to teach you kendo and we have been there for the whole time, we're fine", he continued and opened the door of the dojo. We stepped in and he walked somewhere to get two wooden swords.

"Do you really have to teach me do that?" I asked, taking the piece of wood and gazing at it suspiciously.

"It will make it seem like we have practiced for longer time", he answered and then I realized he was still wearing his kendo uniform. He helped me to hold the sword propeply and then showed me the most simple move. Even though it was simple, I got it wrong. Sorry, I'm just not the most athletic person ever lived!

He teached me a little more and then stepped behind me and put his hands on mine, making me blush before I realized that was just normal since he was trying to teach kendo. It was like he was embracing me from behind, making my heart jump. I didn't know why I felt that way, I couldn't even explain how it felt.

After half an hour of practicing the rain was a little better and now it would be even possible to see what's in front of you and be outside without becoming deaf. And I quess driving a car would be possible too now. But still, if I would walk home I would just get soaked and be sick for that one week.

"Well, now I'll be able to drive, somehow at least", Gakupo said and took the sword from me.

"Hey! You're not gonna leave me here, I can't walk home in that weather!" I protested. He smiled and answered: "What if I drive you home? You would get home earlier and you wouldn't get soaked."

"Fine, but you better not try anything!" I said. He nodded and so we left the school building. As we walked in the hallway, we decided that what we saw today would be forgotten and we wouldn't tell anyone about it. I agreed. We ran to the car as fast as we could, trying to remain as dry as possible. It was really cold and I regretted my decision of not bringing a jacket. And of course, I had to whine about how cold it was.

"Here, take my jacket", he said and offered the jacket to me. I took it and slide my arms into the too long sleeves. It was warm since Gakupo was warm and it smelled like him. It was almost like he was hugging me.

When we had driven for a minute, he started humming some song. His voice was beautiful and I couldn't think about anything else.

"What's the song?" I asked curiously. From some reason, I felt like I had heard it before. The melody was so familiar and it just kept bugging me.

"It's called Paranoid Doll. Have you heard it?"

"I think I have, but I don't remember where", I answered. Then he started to sing the lyrics and his voice was so realxing. It was like a warm bath in middle of winter, or mother's arms embracing a poor child.

"Jiyuu wo motomete wa tadoritsukezu
ibasho no nai genjitsu ni
omoidoori ni naranai chizu wo nagamete iru
karada ga kirisakare itami ni kiete iku
kioku mo negai mo
setsunaku irozuki hidarite ni wasurerarenu kizu
boku wa paranoia"

(Following this road while searching for freedom
In the reality of which there's no where to belong
Staring at the map that no longer satisfies me
Until the body is torn apart and I disappear into pain
With both memories and desires sadly colored,
The left hand has a wound that can't be forgotten
I am paranoia)

(AN: I do not own the lyrics or english translations)

Then I remembered where I had heard it. When mom was at hospital, she sometimes sang the song, trying to comfort me and Akaito. I liked that song so much because of that, but also hated it. It always had to bring back memories from the time when mom was almost dying and dad always drank too much and hit me and Akaito, and when Akaito started cutting himself. But when I heard Gakupo singing it, it made happy.

"You have a nice voice", I blurted my thoughts. I didn't mean to say that, I just exploded.

"Really? I'm sure you have nice voice too, since Luka has talked a lot about it", he answered. So they still talked to each other? Didn't that mean there still was a chance of them getting back together...? No, Gakupo had once said Megurine was dating someone else, right? And why did I even care, I didn't like him or anything. I think.

When he stopped next to my home, I was about to leave, but he stopped me - again. Just like after our date.

"Last time you gave a kiss", he said and smirked. Again, I blushed, but didn't kiss him.

"Last time it was because of a date - the first and last", I said.

"If I hadn't driven you home, you'd still be in the school where the freak is", he answered. That was a good one... I don't think I will win at this. Or maybe I just didn't want to win.

I leaned closer to him and quickly touched his cheek with my lips. He chuckled and said: "You call that a kiss?" I told him to shut up and then thanked for bringing me home. I left as soon as I could and ran into my home. He drove off from the street and I sighed as I took my shoes off. That jerk...

Mom had walked to the door as soon as she heard me opening it.

"I'm sorry, honey, I should've told you it was going to rain- Who's jacket is that?" Shit... I forgot I had Gakupo's jacket. What now?

"A friend from the convention saw me when I was walking home and offered a drive since it was raining, and I was really cold so he gave me his jacket, but I forgot about it. I quess I'll have to call him today", I lied, hoping that she would believe me.

"Well, you really should call him. But first, you should take a bath. It's freezing outside, you're probably really cold!" she answered. But actually, I wasn't cold anymore because of Gakupo.

"No, I'm fine. You haven't made dinner yet, right?" I said. She shaked her head. That was good, because I was starving.

"Um... Is Akaito home yet?" I asked. If he was, I was going right to where he was and yell at him for leaving me alone with Gakupo and the freak. And yes, from now on, I was going to call the principal freak. Because he was one. And he was also really freaky one. Freaky freak.

"No, he's staying the night at Mikuo's home since the rain will last until late evening", mom said. Oh great, now I'll have to wait until tomorrow...

A/N

Gakupo: What's the name of the principal, by the way?
Principal: It's Jo.
Gakupo: Ahahaha, what a name! Jo! That's hilarious!
Principal Jo: Why do you copy LittleKuriboh?
Me: Sorry... Jo!
Principal Jo: The author of this story is retaaaaaaarded. We tried to teach her not to be retaaaaaarded. It didn't work.
Me: Hey! It was you who told me not to copy LittleKuriboh! And you're not badass old man.
Principal Jo: In that case, I'm David Bowie-sama-sensei-senpai-san-samaaaaa!
Me: You're not him either.
RandomOnePieceFan: ONE PIECE!

Yeah... Sorry 'bout that, just had to add it, I love LittleKuriboh's abridged series'. And if you wonder who LittleKuriboh is, he's an AWESOME guy who has made abrdidged series from Yu-Gi-Oh and Naruto and some others too, I think. And the jokes from A/N are from Naruto Abridged, I don't own them. I just love them.

*cough* ummmm, so... yeah. Well, we've learned that Gakupo acts younger than he is and that I already told you I'm not David Bowie~ (ok, that was the last LittleKuriboh-reference... Sorry... I just watched his abridged series so...)

And now to the real business. You've probably noticed that for now, there has been more humor than drama even though the genres are romance/drama but there will be a lots of drama and even some angst when Gakupo and Kaito get serious (yeah, now you're like "OMFG! Will Kaito seriously admit he likes Gakupo?!" and yes, he will. That's a little obvious) OMG! I JUST SPOILED SOMETHING! Uhhh... Sorry.
