This is sort of like a part 2 of chapter 28. XD It just tells what happened afterwards. XD I just realized I use "XD" so much... LOL. This actually isn't so humorous as always... mostly mushy. XD Read at your own risk. XD

Chapter 29 – Ouji to Ohime

"Daisuki da yo, you blonde ignorant bastard!" Trembling. Crying. And hugging Kise tightly. Yachiyo punched his chest but what came out was just a small thump. "Darn it." she tried to punch him again but no force came out.

"Ahaha. What's with you? You like me, then you punch me? Ahaha." Kise teased. He placed his hand on her head and patted it. "There there." he chuckled.

"Why. are. you. laughing." she said coldly. She backed away a little and gave him a glowing-red-eyed-stare. Then she pinched his cheeks forcefully.

"Ow. ow. ow. ow" he screamed. In return he placed both of his hands on her cheeks. She stopped pinching him and blushed as she thought; "It's warm again."

"Oh? That face is cute, Meganekko." Kise teased.

"Shut up, blondie." she replied coldly.

"Fuwahahaha." Kise laughed. "Didn't you say you liked the color of my hair? You did? Right? Right?"

"That was… " she tried to protest. She didn't continue talking. And what came afterwards was a little glowing pink face.

Kise smiled even more than before. When she saw this, she punched him with medium force; "Stop staring at me, Ikemen."

"Gomen. gomen. Ahaha. I can't help it." She scratched his head in embarrassment. "I just realized how easily you get embarrassed. And it's undeniably adorable. Ahahaha."

"I do not get embarrassed easily it!" she screamed.

"Oh really? I'll prove it. " Kise gave a teasing grin. He cleared his throat and said; "First, your face right now is extremely red. Second, you've been sitting on top me for minutes. "

A huge puff of steam came out of her face then she hit his head. "YOU BLONDE BASTARD."

And out of nowhere; "Third, a crowd have gathered. We followed you from when you caused ruckus on the hallway up until now and heard everything." Familiar voice. Shigeru's voice.

The two looked at Shigeru and the little crowd about 10-15 people. Shigeru had this huge grin on his face and said; "Omedetou~"

What followed was Yachiyo and Ryouta's loud shout of; "WHAAAAAAT?!"

Later in the afternoon, Yachiyo curled into a ball and hugged her knees. A depressing purple aura surrounded her. She just sat there under the table of the student council's room.

"And now, everyone. We'll be having a mini-sports tournament at the school's soccer field. It will start in 5 minutes…" the announcer said in the background.

"5 minutes… that's all it took to embarrass me for my whole life…" Yachiyo said grimly.

"Ahh! The it's broken! Go get another one from the room!" someone's voice shouted from the outside.

"Broken… that's my image… it's broken, ruined, trampled on, done." she said grimly again.

"Oh I'll definitely kill everyone in the game! WOOHH!" a voiced shouted from outside.

She said in a grim voice; "Kill? right. I should kill myself. That would settle—"

"Why are you so depressed?! !" Kise shouted at her. However, it's a comedic protest.

"Aren't you happy?" he peaked at her under the table. "Didn't you want to say that?"

"No." she said coldly. "I'm supposed to keep it secret forever. Transfer to another school and live happily with Tetsuya." The serious voice she had sounded very depressed.

He sighed and sat down in front of her. He lightly touched the reddish part of his cheek and flinched.

"Does it hurt?" she asked. "Eh? Ah.. no. not really." he lied. She moved out of the table and touched the red part. He flinched. "It's my fault. I'm sorry." she apologized. She lowered her head in gloom.

"It's nothing compared to what you just told me." Kise held her hand. "Hearing you say that you like me… that's the best thing I've ever heard. It makes up for every brutality you gave me. In fact, it's more than enough. It fills me up with so much joy I could hardly keep my head cool. I'm kinda surprised I could even stand up. Ahaha." He ruffled his hair in embarrassment.

"Just one question though… since I said I like you and then… you said that you like me too… Uhm…" he blushed. "So, are we… a couple now?"

Yachiyo blush furiously and looked flustered.

"I mean—Not that I'm saying we are. I mean—Is there an 'us'—Sorry, I mean—" Kise stammered.

"Eh—I never really thought about this. I just wanted to say. But.. uhh. I—" she stammered too.

"Y-you're right. Ahaha. What's gotten into me? Ahaha. Sorry about asking." He stood up. But before he could fully stand, she grabbed his hand and squeezed. "I didn't say no." she said timidly.

"What? I didn't hear you." Kise bowed down to her.

"I said. I didn't say no." she said in a hushed tone.

"What? What did you say?" Kise moved his ear closer to her.

"I said…" she hesitated and got out of the table. "Nevermind."

Kise pulled her hand and chuckled; "I heard you the first time, I just wanted to hear it again and again. Please repeat that. I'm going to set it as my ringtone."

"You're not serious, are you?" she asked.

"Actually I'm 100% serious about that." Kise admitted. "Is that strange?"

She tried to hold back her laughter at first but then backed away from him and let it out. Her laugh was genuine. Kind. And sounded very happy. You can even see clearly the little sparkles and flowers at her background.

Kise flustered and screamed; "UWAAA! GOD, I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME KUROKO YACHIYO AS MY GIRLFRIEND! UWAAAAA!" He looked insane as he tried to restrain his happiness. He grabbed Yachiyo and carried her princess-style. "Wait—" she blushed. He carried her out of the room, into the hallway where people gathered.

"EVERYONE LOOK! THIS IS MY GIRLFRIEND!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. People stared at them in astonishment. Soon after, they started clapping and greeting; "Omedetou."

"Put me down!" Yachiyo was so embarrassed by what was happening. Though Kise didn't listen. He ran at the hallway and screamed; "*KANOJO!" [lit. girlfriend]

He ran to their classroom and lifted her up. "KANOJO!" And their classmates started clapping their hands. All Yachiyo could do was bury her face in her hands in utter embarrassment. "OMEDETOU" they cheered.

He ran to the rooftop and was about to scream to all the people on the ground. But before he could, Yachiyo covered his mouth and said; "Don't you even dare do that!"

"Eh? Sorry. I'm just soo happy!" Kise was still full of energy. "PUT ME DOWN!" she screamed.

And so he did, but when Kise did so, she punched his stomach and said; "Yare yare… What have I gotten myself into?"

"I should be saying that." Kise said as he curled. "Such a violent kanojo."

"It's your fault." she said coldly and furiously. She touched her forehead as though it was aching, then she shook it. "Don't go on screaming I'm you girlfriend around the whole school. Do you not feel any embarrassment whatsoever?"

"Eh? But I am embarrassed." Kise said.

"YOU CALL THAT EMBARRASSED?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?!" She clenched her fists. "Sorry, I can't help it!" Kise bowed down low. Very low. With his forehead flat on the ground.

"Don't you have any dignity?!" she shouted.

"No. I don't need it anymore." he stood up and smiled. "Yes you do!" she countered.

"Well, I just don't really care about my dignity for now." Kise scratched his head. "Because… right now, all that's in my mind is… you are mine."

Shocked at what she heard, she walked a step forward. To him. And said. "Your lines are very old-fashioned and somewhat annoying." she walked another step. "Yet, I like hearing them." She stepped forward again; "I wonder why…"

.

"SO SWEEEEET!" the announcer shouted. And the two freezed like stone. Oh wait, they did look like stone. Then the announcer continued; "That's the cosplay café of Kaijou! North building, second floor! The princes and princesses are waiting for you~"

"Oh… an announcement." Kise said in a relieved tone. "Well then… shall we continu—" Yachiyo flicked his forehead.

"We better go back to the classroom. They might be needing our help." She said.

"What? But aren't we having a special moment here?" Kise protested.

But she already exited the rooftop. Kise chased after her screaming; "OI GET BACK HERE. UWAAAAA"

When they got back to the classroom, it was…. Busy. Everyone was running around and it seems like a lot of people are waiting in line to enter. "Kise-kun! Ya-chan! Thank goodness you guys are back!" Mikage shouted in glee.

"Why are there suddenly so many people?" Yachiyo asked.

"After they heard the story about you two, they all started coming! They wanted to see and Prince and Princess of Kaijou! Kyaaaa~~~" she fangirled.

"Oh look it's them!" a girl customer pointed at the two. "Oh no…" Yachiyo looked nervous. "M-mi-chan…. What should I do?" she asked.

"Just serve them normally, that would do, Ya-chan~" mikage replied.

In a matter of seconds, the two got busy as well. Kise did okay… he talked normally, acted casually and smiled a lot at the guests. Yachiyo, on the other hand, is another story.

She stuttered when someone asked her her name. "Ku-kuroko Y-yachiyo desu." She answered timidly. With a little blush showing, it can't be helped that the guys were staring at her. Kise saw this and fired up. He stood and went to her table; "Sumimasen, bros, I'll borrow my princess for a while, okay?"

"Mikage, switch with my princess please. Just for a minute." Kise called to Mikage who said yes and hurried to the table. She's in a red Lolita dress.

"What are you doing?" Yachiyo asked coldly in a whispery voice. "Getting jealous and claiming my princess." Kise said in a normal tone. His voice was loud enough for people notice at them.

"Ryouta, may I borrow miss secretary for a while?" Shigeru shouted from the door.

"Eh? Can't it wait, Shigeru?" Kise asked.

"Sorry, no can do. It's important. Yachiyo, you don't have to change your clothes, but we really need you in the office. Emergency." He said. "Ah sou. Mi-chan, I have to go. Duty calls." She smiled at Mikage who waved highly in the air and said; "Okaaay~"

Yachiyo disappeared in seconds, leaving Ryouta behind and sad. "But… aren't we…." He cried chibi-ly.

.

.

"Everyone, that's the end of day one!" the announcer shouted. "Please come back tomorrow for the second day of the 3 day Kaijou High Fest! Stay in tune for further announcements… Don't leave your belongings…." The announcer said in the background.

Yachiyo was in the student council room with Shigeru filling some papers. "Yachiyo, aren't you going to change you going home now?" he asked.

"No. I still have to change my clothes and I'm so tired I can't even move a muscle." She sighed.

"Then you should really go home." Shigeru chuckled.

"Yeah… I will. But I'm… waiting for someone." She said.

"Oh? Ryouta? Did he say he'll be here?" Shigeru asked.

She paused said; "No." Shigeru let out a small laugh. "And yet you're waiting. That's so sweet~ See ya then~" he shut the door and left. When he did, she stood up and sat on the desk by the window sill.

All of a sudden, Kise burst into the room screaming; "OSSSUUUUU."

"Shut up." She gave him a sharp cold look. Kise laughed and walked towards her. "Did Shigeru leave already?" he asked. She nodded.

"In that case…" he was about to advance again but Yachiyo stopped him by placing her hand on Kise's face and pushing him. Countering his forward motion but a strong push. "No. First this is the school. Second there are people around. Third I'm still mad at you."

"Mad at me?" Kise asked in a barely audible voice. "Yes, you have embarrassed me more than a hundred times in just one day." She said. She removed her hand from his face.

"That's exaggerating." Kise said in a sad tone. "Hmn.. oh wait, I think I might have done too much."

"MIGHT HAVE?!" she shouted. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA—"

He placed his forefinger on her lips to shut her up. "Shhh." He winked. Everything was tinted orange because of the afternoon sun, the spark in his eyes, the way he winked, the way he smiled, and the moment when his background turns sparkling yellow. It was magical and unquestionably charming.

She blushed in extreme embarrassment and looked away. "Eh? Is that…" she saw a bunch of people through the window. By reflex, she tackled Kise and made him crouch down. They hid from them and sat on the floor. "Still embarrassed?" Kise teased.

"What do you think they'd think if they saw a member of the student council with a guy in the afternoon inside a room, alone?" she asked with a slightly pink face.

"Ohh? What's that supposed to mean?" Kise teased.

"It means what it sounds." she shyly said.

"Pfft. Hold on, are you thinking of something dirty, Meganeeko? Are you a closet pervert? Fffft." He asked while holding his laughter.

"What. Did. You. Say? " giving him a cold, merciless, uncaring death glare. "If you were them, what would you think? - Bad things. So shut it. I'm no closet pervert."

"If you're not. Then you shouldn't be thinking we'll do bad things. Ahahaha." Kise grinned teasingly.

"Oi, stop messing with me." Her eyes glowed red.

"Pfft… sorry, sorry." He wiped some tears from holding his laugh back.

"I should not have waited for him… right now…" she glanced at the laughing Kise "… I can't think straight." He saw her look; "You're blushing." He said, making her look to the opposite direction. "Oi, look this way." He poked her cheek.

She ,in turn, stood up and peeked at the window. Ignoring him. "Ah… they're gone." She sighed and sat on top of the desk. "Thank goodness." Her back was slightly slumped and both her hands are on the desk's edges. Due to her short height, her feet didn't even reach the ground.

"They might have left, but there could still be tons of other students roaming around the school." Kise commented. "Unlike you though… " Kise smirked, placed his left hand on the desk, his right hand on her cheek and his forehead pressed against hers. "I don't care if they're here." He continued.

"W-what are you doing?! Go away! If anybody—" she half-shouted, half-screamed with a flustered face. "They might think of something bad?" Kise continued for her. "Ahaha. That's why I'll do this quickly." He smirked.

"W-WHAT?!" she screamed. Kise just laughed and said; "Shhh. You shouldn't scream, they might hear you." He teased. "We wouldn't like that now, would we?" he smiled.

Yachiyo tried pushing his face away, "You said you like me, right?! Now do as I say and get off of me!" she half-screamed, half-shouted.

"Yes, I did. And that's why I'm doing this." He winked.

"get off. Get off. Get off. Get off." Yachiyo repeatedly said as she pushed him away.

"Oh come on, it's just one thing I'm asking." Kise looked like a puppy begging for a treat.

"I can't do that!" she screamed.

"What's with that reaction? Ahaha. It's just one kiss." Kise grinned. "Or are you thinking of something else entirely, closet pervert?"

She blushed extremely and shouted; "I told you I'm not! And I can't do that!"

"Hmn.. let's set a deal, if you let me kiss you just this once, I will do everything you say, okay?"

"Everything I say?" she looked confused.

"Yeah, everything." He answered. It was a 5 second pause. Yachiyo looked like she was hesitant and thinking, but in the end, she just shyly looked at him.

"That means 'okay', right?" Kise looked glad.

She nodded.

"I like you…" Kise pressed his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. Closer and closer everything seemed to be in slow motion. You can hear heart beats in the background. Her hand clenched his shirt in a strong grasp when he moved. Accompanied by a red face, she closed her eyes too.

And… at last. It happened.

There's no more distance between them. All there was was the magical moment where Kise pressed his lips against hers. Yachiyo's grip on his shirt loosened at the touch. His right hand held her cheek. Time paused, and nobody could ever tell how long it lasted. Even though she didn't say it, what she thought was; …"I like you too."

Phew. done. XD. ahaha. XD I love "XD". But I might be abusing the power of this emoticon. XD. Matta ne~
