Chapter 2 - Romantic Dilemma.
After practice Yukari had gone home...Even before Miho had the chance to talk to her. Saori had been 'running her mouth' according to Miho and Yukari had slipped away. Irritating so Miho did the one thing that she knew she could do:
Go to Yukari's house and face her there.
(Around 10 minutes later)
Miho approached the road that led to Yukari's parents house, but then stopped. Darjeeling and Yukari were out the front of the house...and they were arguing.
"Listen up! I don't care HOW you got Nigel's number; but leave, him, the hell alone. Do you get me?"
Yukari was red in the face and getting angry'r by the minute as Miho got closer. 'The hell is...Going on here?' Miho thought as she got within range that Yukari's parents could see her.
"Its not MY fault you have a problem with it! I AM a friend of his...So why can't you just-" Yukari barked but then stopped as Darjeeling stepped closer.
"Back off?" Darjeeling scoffed. "Back off from a hussy like you trying to get with MY brother! I thought you were a weird one anyway?"
Yukari lunged for Darjeeling. "Weird one!?" She yelled as she missed Darjeeling.
Darjeeling took this opportunity to grab Yukari's right arm - Pulling her closer to her so that her mouth was next to Yukari's right ear. "Yeah, you said you were a lesbian to me once" She whispered to her.
Yukari growled. "You can talk...You love Orange..." She winced as Darjeeling gripped her arm harder - Earning a pain filled yelp from Yukari Akiyama. "Gah!"
Miho raced forwards as did Yukari's mother. Yukari's mother soon had Darjeeling on the floor while Miho looked at Yukari.
"You get far away from my daughter and you NEVER come here again. UNDERSTOOD!?"
Darjeeling started growling but stopped when Yukari's mother slapped her VERY hard across the face.
Yukari was stunned as she looked between Darjeeling and her mother, her vision quickly focusing on Miho the second she registered she was there. "I..." She watched Miho's facial expression change to one of apology and put her hands up in seconds.
"I was wondering why you seemed off key earlier Yukari." Miho started. "But...I can see why now-" She lowered her head. "You have someone...Just like the rest of this fucking planet" She turned and walked away slowly at first.
Yukari started to race after her to which Miho increased her speed. The more experienced/trained runner getting ahead quicker...Even though Yukari was thinner at this moment.
"Miho!" Yukari screamed but by the time she screamed...She was far into the distance.
Yukari fell to her knees with tears forming in her eyes. Thankfully her father was there and caught her before she hit the concrete. "Hey...Come on now...Darjeeling's gone...I...I know how you feel. Let's get you back inside"
Yukari nodded. "Alright..."
Yukari was put onto her feet very slowly as both her and her father walked back into her family home.
[Later that evening - Miho's Room]
Miho sighed as the clock read: 21:57pm. "This is...Weird. Everyone's changing" She muttered as she turned onto her back. 'But...'
Her phone vibrated so she picked it up lazily. "Huh? A text?"
Miho shrugged as she read it even though it was from an unknown number [Text Message's WILL have semi-colon's (:) so you know who's talking]
?: Yukari isn't coping with this that well...
Miho was confused so she responded.
Miporin: Who is this?
?: Nigel. Nigel Rivers. Brother of Darjeeling?
Miho frowned. So THIS was the guy they were talking about earlier!
Miporin: Right...So what do you want?
Nigel R: Can I ask you something?
Miho rolled her eyes.
Miporin: Just call me. You've got the number...Somehow.
Nigel R: Rightyo. By the way, Yukari gave it too me.
Before Miho could respond the mobile was ringing. "Great.." She muttered sarcastically as she answered it.
"Hello?"
Miho heard a cough that sounded VERY foreign.
"Alright. You fess up. What have you done to Yukarin?" Miho interrogated him.
"Firstly, I didn't DO anything to her. I simply was in a museum looking at a Churchill tank...And we ended up talking before the museum had to close"
"In Orarai?" - Another Miho heated question. If you had heard her, you'd have thought she was a woman on the WARPATH.
"Yes."
"Okay...Why were Darjeeling and Yukari arguing today then?"
Miho heard the door open on the other side of the phone.
"What now!?"
"Who are you on the phone to?" Darjeeling's voice floated towards Miho's ear like a knife in thick air - Or in other words - Sharp and p***ed off.
"A lovely lady by the name of Miho Nishizumi...You know her sis?"
"Give me that phone"
"Get out of my room. Now"
"But Nigel! They're nothing but-"
"YOU are causing trouble now Darjeeling! Look, I love you, but you've gone to far. You ASSAULTED a girl I like! NOW get out!"
A few shouts and a rather loud slam later - Which Miho had to remove her ear from the mobile for and Nigel's voice came back.
"Sorry about that"
Miho shook her head. "No" She felt silly because she couldn't see him, but then looked outside at a flying butterfly. "
"Anyway, Yukari has a bit of a fault with her..."
"I kinda noticed something odd about her today...She was off her loading time for the shells by at least 30 seconds"
"Woah...That is quite a bit...No. That's not it. She told me something that you know...Or should know by now I believe..."
"What's that?"
"She's in love with you"
Miho froze. "What. Did..."
"She loves you. Ever wonder why she can never turn her eyes away? Why she's always watching you? Remember when she took your measurements?"
"You'd better-"
"Don't worry, I'd rather know HER'S then her know mine or yours"
Miho heard him chuckle so she smiled, and giggling nervously. "Alright..."
"Thing is, I caught her trying to self medicate yesterday...Hence why Darjeeling was there...To TALK to her!" He shouted away from the mobile, probably so that Darjeeling herself could hear him, then he looked back at the mobile.
"Anyway, I'll be visiting Yukari soon. Let her know will you? And if you love her too...Maybe that could work...I mean, she has all those pictures...and them statues..."
Before Miho could ask what he meant - He hung up.
"Typical Men..."
She gasped and put her hand to her lips. "Did I...No..." A flash of Yukari's cheesy smile covered in snow made her blush. "I..." She felt very hot and jumped out of bed, opening several windows.
As Miho fell onto her bed that evening, making sure not to squah her mobile, she mentally and physically came to a resolve over Yukari.
"Okay Yukari...In the morning...You've got some EXPLAINING to do!"
Chapter 3 soon as I can remember guys? ;)
