Shindou's POV
Ok I know it's wrong to suddenly stalk people but hey…wait I have nothing to say…anyway right now I just finished informing everyone that there was no practice and was about to head home until I found Kirino in one of the stores. I was gonna run over to him and ask him what he was doing until I suddenly saw Tenma run over to him with a very excited face ad pulling him away.
Ok what were they doing together? I saw Tenma drag him a while ago too!
I was kind of determined to find out so I was about to barge inside until I felt someone grab me and pull me to a nearby corner and was about to scream for help until…
"No, don't scream Taku!"
I opened my eyes to which I found my two best/childhood friends who was both a first year, Tobihana Ritsuki or Riki as I, Kirino and Kumi called him and Shiranai Kuromi or Kumi as I, Kirino and Riki called her. "What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.
"Spying on Ran what else?" Riki told me.
"Is it wrong to be interested in your best friend's love life?" Kumi asked with her usual bored and emotionless voice. If you're wondering she wasn't always like that since when we were kids she used to smile more and laugh to but due to some circumstances and a tragic incident she stopped smiling but she is more opened around me, Kirino and Riki. (read all about her in Smile Once More! –Unemori Twins-)
"Besides aren't you interested on who he's going to give the thing he's looking for to?" Riki asked me sheepishly.
"Or he's on a date with Tenma…" Kumi sa-…
…
…
…
…
Wait…
…
WAIT…
…
WHAT!
Without knowing it myself I suddenly looked over the corner and my eyes went wide as I didn't turn away from the two as I watched them laughing and suddenly some sort of boiling feeling was filling me and I swear the moment I saw Tenma cling onto Kirino, for the first time, I wanted to strangle the brunette right there.
"Taku-baka!" I heard Kumi say to me and she slapped me right at my cheek.
"Ow! What was that for!" I shouted at Kumi or shall I address her as THE SLAPPING QUEEN!
"You're making Riki having a hard time stopping you from strangling Tenma…" She said calmly as she was shaking her hand, probably used a lot of strength since my cheek HURT LIKE HELL!
Wait…huh?
I looked down only to find Riki hanging onto me as if I was a mad bull which was about to attack an innocent little puppy…wait where the heck did I get that image from?
"Taku…didn't you realize that…YOU WERE SERIOUSLY ABOUT TO MARCH RIGHT UP TO TENMA AND STRANGLE HIM!" Riki yelled at me as he stood up.
"I was?" I asked clueless since I didn't know what I was doing. With some weird reason Kumi recorded me in a rampage as I watched the video in her phone…it was me watching Kirino and Tenma…then…oh…there it is the scene where I was growling and a was standing up while I was cracking my knuckles I saw the part Riki suddenly charge on me as he planned to hold me back…but the scene turned to me elbowing his face away Kumi by that time must have dropped the phone since the view turned crooked and she was in the scene to help Riki who clung onto my feet.
"Taku stop!" she said in the video but clearly I didn't hear her and I oh...no I kicked Riki's face a little...oh no now she's mad…then it came…Her hand reached high up as she suddenly looked at me with a glare. "Taku-baka!" she shouted and the scene where she slapped me was the end since she closed her phone.
"So I was on a rampage…?" I asked them and they just nodded at me.
"Well they look happy" we both heard some female voice.
"Yes reminds me of Kazemaru and Fubuki when they were still dating with-KYA!" squealed another female voice.
"Ah the memories!" they two voices said in unison.
We looked in front of us only to find Star-san and Otonashi-san spying on Kirino and Tenma as well.
"Uh…who are you and what are you doing?" Riki asked Star-san and I whispered to him that she was Aphrodi-san's wife. "WHAT!" was Riki's reaction.
"What are two grown women doing spying to two kids?" Kumi asked boldly and the two froze.
"Uh…well…you see…" The two said in unison then what came next was unexpected. "Tehe!" they both said and made the cute face when girls didn't have anything to say which I learned from Akane who usually did that when I asked her why she always took pictures of me.
"Oh my it's so late c-come on Haruna we really need to go!" Star-san said and pulled Otonashi-san by the arm and dashed away.
"That was weird…" Riki said.
"Taichou, Ran and Tenma had made their move and they didn't get anything from the shop" Kumi reported with a salute and Riki's expression kind of changed.
"I see…we shall follow them and see what they will get and see if they are a couple or not WHOSE WITH ME!" Riki shouted and I just looked at him thinking if he was a military general or something and just slapped my forehead while Kumi just saluted and they ran off and well I followed them…what? I wanted to know if they were on a-a-a I can't say it...or else I might cry...
Tsurugi's POV
"Kyousuke...?"
"Kyousuke…!"
"TSURUGI KYOUSUKE ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!"
I fell off my seat after hearing my brother shout really loudly. I grumbled as I rubbed the back of my head, which hurt like hell!
"Kyousuke are you alright?" I heard my brother ask in concern.
"Yeah…I think so…" I said and sat back on my chair.
"Well good…now tell me all about this Matsukaze Tenma-kun you kept mumbling for half the time" he told me and I just stared at him dumbfounded by what he said. I didn't realize I was mumbling on about Matsukaze!
"Well there isn't anything…he's just one of my teammate and he's in the same year as me and that's all…" I told him and I felt something hot on my cheeks…DAMN IT WHY AM I BLUSHING! I heard Nii-san sigh so I faced him and he had his head supported by his arm while he looked at me with a smile while I stared at him wondering what he was smiling about and I realized it. "Nii-san don't tell me you think I have a crush on him too!" I shouted at him.
"Well you don't?"
"No!"
"Are you sure?"
"YES!"
"Young love~"
"I DON'T LIKE HIM!"
"Denial is the first step to a relationship!"
I stared at him for a while then I shook it off and looked away. I can't believe it EVEN MY OWN BROTHER! Yes I have been interrogated not only by Nii-san or Captain but by; Nishizono, Kariya, Kageyama, Sangoku-senpai, Kurama-senpai (which was weird for me as well I admit) AND EVEN BY THE MANAGERS! I give up…
"I'm going now Nii-san" I told my brother since there was no use staying if he was just going to interrogate me as well…
"Wait Kyousuke!" my brother shouted as he held my wrist.
"Yeah?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow is Valentine's Day why not confess to the boy?" he told me.
"Nii-san your saying that as if you approve gay love…" I told him.
"I approve it only if it concerns you!" he shouted at me and looked at him dumbfounded by the bold words.
"O-Ok…fine…wait…I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM!" I shouted at my brother once more as I saw him chuckle.
"Kyousuke-kun it's against the hospital rules to shout like that, some of the patients in the other rooms are complaining you know!" I heard someone scolding me from the door and when I looked I found Crystal-san with a small bouquet of flowers in her hands. She always came to visit Nii-san which I was really glad about. Her full name is Suzukiyama Crystal and she's actually Ruu's older sister who takes a volunteer in the hospital of taking care of my brother.
"Good afternoon Crystal-san!" I heard my brother greet her.
"Good afternoon Yuichi-kun how is your leg and I'm so sorry I couldn't get here earlier since I accidentally got into another part time by accident…" she said and my brother laughed and I was actually close to laughing as well.
"How do you get into a part time job by accident?" my brother asked her.
"Long story…I'll tell you all about it…now Kyousuke-kun you need to leave visiting hours is closed now…" she told me. Yeah it's pretty early I know but the next day was Valentine's day so visitors had to leave early but Crystal-san, who was a volunteer care taker, was allowed to stay after visiting hours. I bid farewell to them and left the room and the hospital but on my way back I found something unusal…
"Ah…it's Goth-kitty…" I hear a familiar yet annoying voice I looked back and found that damned Shiranai together with Ritsuki and Captain.
"What are you doing here?" Captain asked me.
"I was heading home until I saw that…" I said pointing at a direction of a flower shop where I saw Kirino-senpai and Matsukaze looking at the flower displayed on the window and they looked like they were having a date and well…I suddenly felt like killing Kirino-senpai and I have no idea why…
"Wow there kitty no use killing them you know…" I heard Ritsuki said and I didn't realize I had ripped a portion of my cape…damn…this was my favorite one too…
"Well they might be on a-a-a-a-a-a-a" I saw Captain struggle to say the word which I think was "date." He was really having a hard time and soon I saw his body tremble and his eyes water…oh no don't tell me this guy is going to cry in PUBLIC!
Tenma's POV
We were at the flower shop looking at the many flowers displayed. We haven't found the perfect one yet so we decided to stop for a while and look at the flowers on display. We even thought of buying it but…won't it be a little clique if you gave flowers as your valentine gift?
"Hey Tenma…why don't we settle for some chocolates instead I know a good store that sells them and I even know the store manager so maybe I can talk him to giving us some custom made ones…" Kirino-senpai said. I know we've been looking around for more than an hour but I didn't want to give "him" chocolates since I'm sure "he" won't like it and well chocolates were kinda too plane for me!
"Nah…don't you think chocolates will be a little too plain?" I asked him.
"You're right…" Kirino-senpai said and we both sighed since we couldn't find the perfect gift yet.
We never knew how hard it was to look for one simple little Valentine's gift would be this hard it seriously made me think where in the world cupid was…
"Come and buy your Valentine's gifts here you won't regret what you find in this store!" we suddenly heard someone shout nearby. We looked at the source of the person who was shouting it and my eyes went wide.
"Jezz-san!" I shouted at the man.
The man looked at us and smiled. "Tenma-kun! How have you been?" he greeted me. "Whose your friend?" he asked me looking at Kirino-senpai.
"I've been well…not that great…this is Kirino-senpai he's my teammate in soccer and he's my senior, a second year!" I told him.
"Nice to meet you" Kirino-senpai greeted him.
"Well it's nice to meet you oh and I feel kind of bad Roze was just here she left a few minutes ago to the hospital…you just missed her…" Jezz told me.
"Oh it's alright…say you're working part time here right?" I asked him.
"Yeah…Kinoru and Arita are helping with the customers inside while I ask people to come by" he told me looking a little shameful since I bet he was doing an extra shift for Roze-san since she was at the hospital as a volunteer but she never told me who she was a volunteer for.
"Excuse me…what do you sell here?" Kirino-senpai asked Jezz-san while looking up at the sign that read "Valentine Cupid."
"Well to tell you the truth it actually changes from time to time depending on the date, for example; when it's Halloween the name changes to "Pumpkin Horror" and we sell Halloween stuff and when it's Christmas the name changes to "Santa's Factory" and sell anything you need for Christmas and well right now we sell anything for Valentine's day…are you guys looking for a gift? Try in here and maybe you will find the perfect gift for your Valentine" Jezz-san told us and well…we went inside anyway…I looked back to see Jezz-san's reaction but he seemed fine he just smiled and waved at us and it's pretty weird since I thought he would ask why are two boys looking for a Valentine's gift since it's normally girls who would look for it.
A WHOLE HOUR LATER
"Finally!" Kirino-senpai shouted. We finally found our perfect gifts which was in the shop, we got it, payed for it, thanked and bid farewell to Jezz-san who was about to leave with Kinoru-san and Arita-san and well we got tired so we stopped by a nearby café that was still opened and drank some juice.
"Hey Tenma…I had to admit this was fun and all but…did you get the feeling we're being followed the whole time?" Kirino-senpai asked me.
Actually…
"Yes I did and to tell the truth I even had the weird feeling that someone wanted to strangle me…" I told him and he shot strait up and leaned forward.
"YOU HAD THE SAME FEELING TOO!" he shouted at me and some people started to stair so we apologized a bit to them.
"Yes like someone right at the corner just wanted to strangle you…" Tenma said.
"Yeah but mine was stronger like someone had the pure urge to kill me for something…" Kirino-senpai thought and after that we both broke into laughter thinking it was ridiculous to think about that.
"Can you hear what we're saying Kirino-senpai?" I asked him once I calmed down a bit.
"I know…I sound stupid I mean why would anyone want to kill me and strangle you?" Kirino-senpai asked. "But I am afraid Shindou might not like the gift…" Kirino-senpai told me and well I snapped.
"ARE YOU KIDDING I'M SURE HE'LL LOVE IT!" I shouted at him and I didn't realize I was holding onto his hand and my face was really close to his. Kirino-senpai blinked a couple of times before smiling and thanking me. I smiled back of course.
And there it was again the cold breeze and that weird feeling that someone wanted to just kill you there on the spot.
OMAKE THIRD PERSON'S POV
"THESE PEOPLE ARE MANIACS!" Ritsuki shouted as he was struggling to keep Shindou in place while Kuromi had to deal with Tsurugi who she only held by the cape without breaking a sweat.
"Riki…he's going to get loose if you don't hold onto him tighter…" Kuromi told Ristuki as he found out Shindou was attempting to remove his hand from Ritsuki's grasps.
Upon seeing the two boys in the café laughing and smiling the two were already boiling with rage and when Tenma held Kirino's hands and their faces were really close…that was when they snapped and the jealousy meter had popped …
"Let us go Riki!" Shindou demanded.
"NO!" Ritski strictly said now hugging his legs once again.
Kuromi just sighed and clutched onto Shindou's grayish-brown hair and also onto Tsurugi's navy blue ones which was tied to a pony tail and yanked them as hard as she could and of course leaving them to whimper in pain and once they recovered enough to growl at Kuromi all they received was the legendary slap of the slapping queen.
"Don't growl at me dogs…" she said coldly as the two held onto their cheeks in pain.
"YOU GO, THAT'S MY GIRL!" Ristuki cheered at Kuromi who held her hand up in pride.
BACK TO Tenma's POV
"Thank you Tenma for helping me!" I heard Kirino-senpai thank me.
I told him welcome and that it was nothing before we went separate ways to our home. "Aki-nee I'm back!" I shouted once I entered the apartment but noticed that she was talking to the phone and I suddenly over heard a part that Aki-nee was saying it was nothing and if the person was alright in America and I instantly knew who it was, so I just quietly went upstairs and into my room where I found Sasuke sleeping on the carpet.
"Hey there Sasuke!" I greeted my dog and I slumped strait to bed ignoring the fact that I didn't eat anything yet and was still wearing the school uniform.
Kirino's POV (finally!)
Well Now I had the gift…I'm really happy with what I got Shindou…I'm really happy…I just hope Shindou would like it…
"Ranmaru?" I heard someone call my name.
"Yes mom?" I asked knowing it was my mom behind the doors. She came in holding our house phone with her, yes out phone was wireless…
"Your friend is calling you!" she told me and I asked who it was and she told me she didn't know so I just took the phone and once my mom left the room, an annoying voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hello Kirino-senpai!" I heard Kariya's mocking voice over the phone.
"What do you want and how did you find out what my house number was!" I growled at him.
"Well there is this something called the phone book and I saw you on a date with Tenma-kun just a while ago you know" he told me and I wondered what he was talking about and was about to protest until I heard someone from over the phone it was the voice of another person.
"Kariya-kun time to go back to you room!" boomed a male's voice?
"Geh…Midorikawa-san…" I heard Kariya mumble.
"Oh does poor little Kariya have curfews?" I asked mockingly and before he could protest I hung up and placed it on my study table. I sighed and placed my head on the table and looking at the side where I placed Shindou's gift for Valentines…oh man my eyes feel kinda heavy…
"Ranmaru Dinner is ready you should come and eat before you fall asleep!" I heard my mom shout.
"Coming mom!" I shouted back. Man how does she know I was about to fall asleep? Sometimes I wonder if my mom puts surveillance camera in my room and spies on whatever I do…oh well no use thinking of it now!
I stretched myself and ran out the door to the dining table where my mom and dad was at and ate my dinner then ran up stairs and slumped on my bed.
Star: wow this was long...
Kagaya: ...we're just lucky our mom was in Japan for a business trip and our older brothers (only three of them) went with her...
Star: yeah but still...
Kagaya: *sigh*
Kara: STAR KAGAYA ARE YOU USING MY CHARGER AGAIN!
Star and Kagaya: uh-oh...
