Chapter 14

Rain

It's 2 PM now. But, a few students weren't going home.

Why?

Outside was raining with such a massive interval. The other said that it felt like a thousand needles piercing their skin when they tried to went home without rain-coat or umbrella. It's really surprising one that a day before summer vacation, was showering with pure water from the dark cloud on the sky.

Hikari was gazing through the window, her eyes narrowed at the sight of drops of water that trailing down the window. She felt a bit sleepy ; the cool atmosphere was somehow soothe her down.

Even that she was regretting herself not bringing an umbrella this morning, she felt relief that some of her friends in her class were at the same state with her. However, she couldn't find out where's Takeru and Daisuke. The two of them had disappeared a few minutes ago without any of words and not leaving any of traces.

She peeked from her folded arm, looking for them. No matter she tried, they're out of her sight. She then yawned, a proof that the chill had stuck in her nerves, ordering her to take some nap.

So, she lied her head again, as she slowly shut her eyes. Her mind was completely complicated with her homeworks that she should do when she was home. Just in a moment, she cursed the rain that made her stuck here, before finally ease her mind and calmed down.

The rain seemed not going to be ended yet.

"You're really smart, Dai. I have some doubt that isn't your idea," Takeru playfully sneered at his friend beside him. They were on the way back to the class after running like hell to the school's alley.

Daisuke sighed. Takeru was really annoying when he started to tease him until he felt pissed off beyond relief.

"Yeah yeah, Mr. Perfect. It's not my idea," the goggle boy sneered back, holding the blue umbrella tighter.

"So, whose?" Takeru asked, curiousity on his eyes.

"It's-" Daisuke's words was interrupted by the sudden thunder roared loudly outside.

Both of them immediately covered their ears, and quickly recovered from their shock.

"Whoa, that's a loud one," Daisuke commented, before continuing his walk.

"We need to move quickly," Takeru made a faster step, but Daisuke ran passed him.

Again.

"Argh, don't say we need to run again," Takeru muttered before tracking down the goggle boy that almost lost from his sight.

When they reached the class, all the way panting, they found Hikari was sleeping silently in the noisy class, that everyone didn't realize her.

They made a soundless step toward her, before sat on the bench ; Daisuke sat in front of her, and Takeru beside her. Their eyes carefully staring at the sleeping girl, wondering they should wake her up or not.

"Maybe we need to wait until the rain stop," Takeru whispered to the goggle boy.

Daisuke scoffed. Then, why did they run and search for the umbrella a moment ago?

"Just wake her up. You two are going to go home with this umbrella," Daisuke handed the umbrella. Takeru stared at it for a while.

"Then, how about you?" he curiously asked, knowing that there's only one umbrella.

"Relax. I still need to attend some of soccer practice," he calmly said, assuring the blond that he's okay with that.

"Umm… okay," with Takeru's reply, Daisuke grabbed his backpack and left the class.

Takeru couldn't help but smile ; Hikari was cute when she's sleeping. He quickly slapped himself from that thought, but he found himself staring at her deeply.

He shook his head with both of his hands, before focusing to woke her up.

One hand moved to her arm, and gently shook it.

"Hikari…" he called, not wanting to harshly woke her up like what her mom did to him when he's oversleep.

"Hikari…" he shook it a bit harder, and the girl opened her eyes slowly.

"Welcome, sleepy girl," Takeru grinned, and Hikari had just realized that she slept in the class. Smiling while rubbing her eyes, she yawned again and stretched her arm.

"Uhh… it's still raining…" she wrapped her arms around herself, trying to hold the warm.

"Come on, you will got caught a cold if you're staying here for longer," he smiled, showing her an umbrella.

"Hey, it's my umbrella. Where did you find it?" she asked, a bit surprised that her loving umbrella was now found.

"Umm… Daisuke is the one who finds it. I've asked it, but I haven't gotten the answer," he replied, before grabbing his backpack.

"Come on," he offered one hand, and Hikari gladly accepted it while her other hand was holding her backpack.

Went outside with one umbrella for two, they chatted happily along the chill yet soothing atmosphere, thanks to the rain.

At the other place, Daisuke was smirking all the way.

"Hoo, I forget that I bring a raincoat," he laughed when he wondered when two persons used one umbrella, there's still a chance that some part of them would get drenched with water.

"So, I'm going home~" he laughed at himself again, in sing-a-song tone.

He put his sneaker inside his backpack, and replaced it with a slipper. He hummed a song when he walked in the rain, and kicked some pool of water, made it splashed.

What he didn't expect, there's two persons beside him that were watching him.

"Hey, watch where the water ended, boy!" a familiar voice yelled, and Daisuke glanced at them with horror.

The three of them blinked their eyes a few times, before opened their mouth.

"DAISUKE/TAKERU! HIKARI!" they yelled at the same times, before the three of them burst out a laughter, a funny laughter under the rain.

So finally, they made their way home still together, three of them.

And, It's another proof that rain couldn't separate them off.
