SKIP THIS IF YOU'RE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE STORY

Hello, Totenwelt here! i decided i would include my notes and all that stuff under the story rather than making new chapters just for that, so if you want to read my progression of stuff (i will add every day some new note about my progress, etc.)

By the way, i'm most likely gonna extend this fanfiction to about 7-10 chapters, maybe more maybe less, i didn't realized that it's gonna take me more chapters to truly wrap up the story. Also i apologize for mixing uo Kushieda and Kitamura a few times during last chapter, it should be edited by the time you're reding this.

Also, next chapter is gonna full of fluff, so be ready!

STORY BEGINS HERE

The dawn broke over the snowy mountains as it shined on the beautiful white snow that formed during blizzard the night before. It was a bright, beautiful day outside, so much so that students who weren't packing their bags to go home went out for one last ride on the mountain where the whole incident with Taiga happened.

The beam of sunlight very slowly but surely made it's way to sleeping Taiga's face who was still sound asleep under her cover from what happened to her. She lied still how she got pulled into the bed with Ryuuji who still held her hand and was crouching by her bed with his upper body lying on the bed still sleeping as well, she slowly opened her eyes and was hit by unwelcoming bright light coming from the window which blinded her for a good second. In an instinct she held her hand to shield her eyes from the bright light. After quite a few seconds she got used to the light Taiga rubbed her eyes with her free hand as she yawned softly. Her head was hurting like hell, and she had no recollection of what happened yesterday.

Taiga sat up on her bed just raising her upper body upwards, she looked around her room to the left and suddenly realized that she was in a room she did not recognized which freaked her out somewhat.

Taiga looked towards the window that was right next to her to look for clues at to why was she there and why her head hurt so much. Outside of the window were people skiing, and snowboarding on the mountain, suddenly she remembered all that happened to her.

She was holding Minorin from fighting the dumb chivavua, but Kawashima got from Ryuuji's hold and punched Minorin straight in the face, the hairpin that Ryuuji bought for Minorin went flying, she went to get it but slipped, and fell on something hard and then darkness. The next thing she remembered was being on Ryuuji's back, getting carried somewhere.

She was knocked out hard, so much so she thought she was in a dream, because it felt like it was, it was too perfect. She didn't had her "tsundere" attitude, she was genuine with her feelings, so she told Ryuuji that she loves him, and he said that he loves her back. Just the thought of that made her red as a tomato. It was no dream, it really happened.

So many emotions hit her like a tsunami. She felt happy, loved, sad, betrayed, and unworthy. But most importantly she felt like she betrayed Minorin. She couldn't handle all these feelings at the same time, so she started to bawl her eyes out uncontrollably.

Her sobbing woke up Ryuuji. Taiga suddenly heard Ryuuji rustle next to her on the bed, she turned towards him. Another shock hit her, He was there all along for her, holding her hand and not even sleeping in a bed to make sure she was okay. It made all the feelings she felt even more intense. She didn't wanted to see the person she loved the most see her so weak, so she decided to run away from her room to not be seen.

Taiga very quickly got up from her bed separating her hand from Ryuuji's, and she started running away towards the door. Ryuuji was in shock as well because he had no idea was happening, he was still half asleep as she dashed by him. He did not knew why, but Taiga was running away for some reason. Maybe it was because Taiga needed to go to the toilet, but then why would she sniffle and cry?

Takasu decided he would run after Taiga to find out what happened. He stood up and dashed right out of the doors. He took a look around the now well lit hall, there were quite a lot students from other classes walking around, preparing to go home. It was so crowded that he couldn't find Taiga anywhere.

Then he saw a glimmer of someone her size, with the same outfit she was wearing disappearing quickly behind the corner, he deducted that it must be her, so he started running like he never did before after her.

Because of that he bumped into quite a few people as he ran, he shouted sorry everytime he did, though that didn't stopped from people either shouting something back at him or giving him wierd looks. He bumped so much that at one point he lost balance and tripped, everyone turned towards him to see what happened.

One of those people was Ami Kawashima, who was about to go check on him and the tiger. She quickly rushed over to him to check if he was okay

"Hey Takasu, are you okay? What happened?" Ami said in her fake facade since everyone was still looking at them, she helped him get up by picking his arm

Everyone turned away from the two of them and got back to doing their business.

"Y-yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for helping, but i have to run, sorry Kawashima" Ryuuji said to her as he got up and immediately started to run again after Taiga.

"Wait!" Kawashima shouted as she grabbed Takasu's wrist, which cocked him back a bit, sending his momentum to a halt.

Ami knew exactly what was happening. She saw Aisaka running by her crying and trying to hide her face, it all made sense... Taiga fired the first shot.

"What?" Ryuuji uncharacteristically shouted at Kawashima, she looked at him with sad expression with puppy eyes

"Please Takasu, don't run like this. You're gonna hurt yourself again, and i don't want that" She wasn't lying, though she had ulterior motive, she wanted to slow him down so that he would lose track of her.

"I'm really sorry Kawashima, But i have to go, i'll see you around" Takasu said as he started to run again, she freed her hold of his wrist. She wanted to keep holding it desperately, so he wouldn't run off to her and be with her, but she let his wrist be because she couldn't stop him even if she wanted to, he was blinded by love.

"Okay, I'll see you around then" she said in a serious tone with a hint of sadness coming from her voice, she was hurt by him abandoning her for Taiga a lot. She turned around and started walking to meet her friends

"I know i said i'll watch from far away, but i can't bare it anymore. Aisaka is only gonna hurt him, and i don't want that to happened, and i want him to be mine, no i need him to be mine, he's the only person who seen me for who i really am. But that dumb Aisaka went ahead and fired the first shot, And now he's gonna fall more and more for her and then she's gonna hurt him. I swear, I'll make him mine, so that she's not gonna hurt him, i'll do it anyway i can, All is fair in love and war after all." Ami thought to herself silently as she gritted her teeth, she was gonna make him love her one way or the other.

"Hey Ami, There you are! Let's have some fun whilst we're still on trip!" Both of her friends shouted towards her, breaking her out of her thought.

"Hey girls, Sure let's go have some fun!" though Ami had no intention of having fun, instead she continued to think about what she's gonna do, but she put on her fake facade to deal with her friends in the mean time. She took one last look at Ryuuji who was still running after her and sighed.

Taiga ran as fast as she could so Ryuuji wouldn't see her, she saw him running after her so she ran even faster to get away, she ran behind a corner and into the women's bathroom which was right next to her. Taiga went in as quick as she could, it was empty so she decided she would stay, plus she didn't had much choice because she was almost out of breath. Taiga walked to a giant mirror that was on the wall of the bathroom, there she took a good look at herself, she was a crying, emotional mess. She didn't knew if it was the right thing to do or not anymore now that she calmed down a bit, but she still did it.

She ran away from him, making him worried and probably upset.

"Oh god, Why did i ran away? Ryuuji must hate me now" the sudden realization of how much she screwed up by running away instead of facing him dawned on her.

It made her cry even more, she didn't had enough strength to stand up so she just dropped to her knees crying even more

Someone was creeping behind Aisaka, but she didn't noticed it because she was still crying like crazy.

That person very slowly came up to her as Taiga kept on crying her eyes out. That person knelt by her, and tightly reverse hugged her.

Taiga froze in her place, she was so shocked that she completely stopped crying for a second, she turned her teary face around to see who was hugging her. It was non other than Minorin Kushieda, her best friend, and a person who Ryuuji loved.

"M-Minorin?" Aisaka shouted as she got up and turned around to hug her normally.

"It's okay Taiga, Tell me what happened?" Minorin asked her best friend, Taiga was overcomed by joy, atleast her best friend was here to comfort her, though she was embarrasses that she had to see her like this

"Oh thank god you're here, I screwed up so badly, i-i-i..." Taiga couldn't say it, she was too overcomed by emotions again, she wanted to cry like she did before when her mind went over what she did again, so much so her face started to get teary again.

"Taiga, what did you do?" Minorin pushed her further, she wanted to know the answer, even if it hurt her, she wanted to know to help her best friend.

"I-I ran away from Ryuuji, after telling him yesterday that i... " Taiga stopped herself, she wanted to say it, but she remembered she wanted them to be together, to both of them to be happy.

And here she was about to say that she confessed her love to Takasu the night before, so she couldn't do it. She looked down and didn't said a word, instead she started to cry again. She decided she would push her happiness and love by her side if it meant both Minorin and Ryuuji would be happy.

Minorin released herself from the hug and got some space between both her and Taiga, who was still looking down and crying

"Taiga, tell me what happened" Minorin pushed Taiga even further, she grabbed her shoulders and started waving her lightly, Taiga still didn't told her, and continued to look down and cry.

Minorin was about to cry as well, she started to shake her shoulders violently

"Please, i beg you. Tell me what did you do" Minorin couldn't take it anymore and she started to cry just like Aisaka did. Minorin's tears hit the bathroom floor like rain hitting ground. When Taiga saw the sight of that she couldn't take it anymore, she had to tell her the truth atleast.

"I-I confessed my love to him!" Taiga yelled at Minorin who let go of her shoulders and simply lowered her head, with her red bangs covering her face. Minorin didn't reply, so Taiga continued talking.

"But i thought it was a dream, and now i feel guilty because i promised myself i would get you and Ryuuji together" Taiga said as she cried again even more than she did before

"It's because i want you to be happy" Taiga continued, but she still had no answer. Aisaka put her hands on Kushieda's shoulder to comfort her. Minorin shrugged Taiga's hands off of her shoulders.

And then, she slapped Taiga out of nowhere.

Taiga was completely caught off guard, she didn't expected Minorin to slap her like that, so much so that she fell on the green cube pattern ground of the bathroom. She instinctively held her hand on the spot where she got slapped. Taiga looked back to Minorin to see her best friend crying again but with face full of anger and eyebrows twitching extremely violently

"Don't give me that, Because i'm not gonna let you or anyone else decide what makes me happy!" Minorin yelled at Taiga, who was still in shock from what happened, why did her best friend slap her like that?

"Are you really gonna throw away the one thing that you want?" Kushieda continued to yell at Aisaka, She didn't wanted to admit it, but she was right, so Taiga tried to get up and run away from the bathroom because she couldn't face Minorin the same way she couldn't face Ryuuji and most importantly her feelings. Unfortunately for her Minorin caught her hand which she held on to tightly. Taiga tried to escape her hold, but she couldn't

"Are you gonna run away again or are you gonna face your feelings and him like a grown up!" Minorin yelled at Taiga once again. Taiga didn't wanted to hear it, she was right though. Taiga couldn't face her feelings so she ran away

Taiga tried desperately to get out of her hold, she tugged as hard she could, but Kushieda didn't let go of her.

"Let go of me!" Taiga screeched to Minorin, but instead of letting her go she threw her against a door of a bathroom stall and held her hands tightly by the door

"Listen to me Taiga! I gave up on my feelings for Ryuuji just so you can be happy with him, so please stop running away from it, and just face your feelings towards him! " Minorin screamed as she put her face close to Taigas, so much so that Minorin's and Taiga's tears were both falling on their shoes.

Taiga couldn't look her in the eyes, she wasn't strong enough. She only looked down and cried even more than she did before.

"Look at me Taiga! It's me! Minorin, your best friend! So please, just do it for me Taiga" Her best friend begged her to confront her feelings for Ryuuji. Minorin pushed herself more than she did ever before, and it was taking a toll on her mentally. Taiga felt it, so she looked her in the eyes and whispered softly

"Okay, I will Minorin. I'm sorry for running away from my feelings" Taiga said with tears still coming out from her eyes as Minorin let go of her.

Minorin hugged her best friend again, this time they both stopped crying, they just wanted to comfort each other.

"It's okay, I'm sorry for hitting you, and thank you Taiga" Minorin whispered into her ear as she smiled

Kushieda pushed Aisaka away from her after that

"Now go and find him and tell him how you really feel! You can do it!" Minorin said as raised her hand into a fist with her lucky go happy attitude

Taiga smiled back at her

"Yeah, I will Minorin. Thank you for convincing me to confront my feelings, i couldn't do it without your help." Taiga said as she wiped her tears away with her shirt

Minorin was bright as a sun again

"No problemo Taigarino, I'm gonna be rooting for you!" Minorin beamed at Taiga once again with her happy go lucky attitude

Aisaka waved her goodbye as she prepared to go out the door. Taiga quickly disappeared as she walked out the bathroom.

"I did it" Minorin said to herself as she collapsed to her knees and broke down crying.

Taiga opened the door of the bathroom and got out, there she saw now empty hall, well it other than Ryuuji looking all around him for her. Takasu noticed Taiga right away, and so he ran towards her

"Hey are you okay? What happened Taiga?" Ryuuji shouted at her as he had a very worried look on his face, he crouched down to see if she was okay

Taiga simply smiled, came up to him and hugged him

"Yeah, everything is fine Ryuuji, I just had to face my feelings is all" Taiga said as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being close to the one she loved the most

"W-Whoa, Taiga?" Ryuuji was caught off guard, of all things for her to do he did not expected Taiga to hug him, he turned really red with blush because the person he loved the most was hugging him.

"Let me enjoy it for a while Ryuuji, and hug me back too!" Taiga demanded as she put on a pouty face. Normally Ryuuji would be rolling his eyes in a situation like this, but he really wanted to hug her back, but he didn't knew if it was okay. But now he got a get go from hers truly.

"Your wish is my command" Ryuuji smiled a bit as he starting blushing even more before he hugged Taiga back.

Taiga got visibly more red too by him returning the affection

"Hey, Ryuuji?" Aisaka whispered softly into Takasu's ear, which made Takasu blush even more

"Y-yeah?" Ryuuji said nervously, he was nervous because he wasn't used to Taiga being so close, but he really liked it.

"I love you" Taiga whispered into his ear again with blush all over her face. All time stopped for Ryuuji, there she said it again, just like the night before. She really loved him, and he loved her, all worries and bad thoughts went out of his head as he melted by the sudden realization of what just transpired. It was like a beautiful dream, It was almost too perfect really, but it was real. Their love was not a dream.

"I love you too Taiga, i didn't knew it before yesterday, but i loved you the most for a long time" Ryuuji started crying happy tears as he embraced the one that he loved the most.

"Same goes for me Ryuuji, I didn't knew it for a long time, but i loved you the most, why wouldn't i? You always cared about me, noone ever cared about me like this." Taiga expressed her love towards Ryuuji as she cried happy tears as well as he did, they stayed hugging together for some time, none of them wanting to move, they just wanted to be in each other's presence for a while.

But then some people started to walk by, and both of them noticed that, so they quickly got up and acted as if nothing happend

Though they kept looking at each other, which when they realized that they both started to blush a lot

"Hey, we should get moving, We're all leaving in an hour and neither of us has packed bags" Ryuuji said to Taiga as he looked away from her face with embarrasment because he was still blushing as hell

"Yeah, let's do that" Taiga replied the same way, by looking away embarrased.

They started walking towards the bed rooms where all the students were sleeping the day before, their blush slowly was dissapearing as they both calmed down a bit, but then Takasu stopped for a bit. Taiga noticed that and stopped walking too

"Hey Taiga, i have a question?" Ryuuji asked with a blush forming again, as he scratched his face, smiled and looked away

"What is it Ryuuji?" Aisaka asked him back, not knowing what he had in mind

"Um, so like what are we now?" Ryuuji asked as he looked back at her with a giant blush appearing on his face again

Taiga was caught off guard by that question and went red as a tomato

"W-What would we be huh Ryuuji? I said i love you, you said you love me. So that means we-we're a c-c-couple.." The realization made her red as a tomato and frozen at the same time as a giant grin appeared on her face, probably thinking about how they are a couple now.

At that sight Ryuuji chuckled a bit seeing Taiga so adorable, though he was blushing like crazy after hearing that as well.

"Don't you laught at me! I can't help it, i'm still not used to having you as my boyfriend is all" Taiga said as she put up her Tsudere attitude for a second, but then she switched to her more sincere side.

"I'm sorry, i just love seeing you being so cute" Ryuuji said honestly as he looked into her beautiful brown eyes

"S-Shut up you Idiot, Let's just go!" Taiga said in her Tsundere attitude and turned away, but instead of hurting Ryuuji in someway, she instead grabbed his hand and started walking

"H-Hey, hold on!" Takasu shouted at Taiga who did not slowed down. and kept on going, he did not expected to be holding hands with her like that, but he enjoyed it a lot.

"I said shut up, and keep going!" Taiga did not stopped for Ryuuji and instead kept going to where the bed rooms were. they were both bickering as usual, though something was different about it that day, one could easily see that they loved each other very much, despite them insulting each other from time to time.

One of those people who saw it was Ami Kawashima.

End of Chapter 2 - Confrotation

Writer's notes:

19/11/19 18:11

I'm starting to write a next chapter as of today, i wanted to start yesterday but i went drinking with friends so i didn't had time unfortunately, apologies for that, to make up for it i'll try finishing to 50%

19/11/19 20:08

F*** it, I'm gonna finish it today.

20/11/19 16:42

I sorta did, but i pushed myself when i was tired as hell, which lead to me botching the end of it and overall it's gonna need a new draft before i upload it

20/11/19 18:38

So i had to do 3 drafts on the Minorin/Taiga confrotation, which took me a few hours to complete. I had to throw away the first draft because it was so bad, the second turned out meh, and the third one turned out okay i guess. Honestly i'm too exhausted to do a 4th one because it's just so mentally taxing, so i apologize if that part still sucks, i just don't have the strenght to go back and redo it again
