Hello, Totenwelt here! Finally, after almost a full month of taking a hiatus I am back, writing this story full time once more. I missed this a lot I have to say. Anyways if you haven't read the last chapter titled "Christmas present" I urge to go read it as it's a bridge between the two parts if you haven't already, like the setting, what happened, etc. It's there to make you understand this part.
Also, apologies for not delivering on time I was solely focused on writing my novel last few weeks, not to mention I've just been stressed with this chapter so much lately, I've been hit such such a anxiety when writing this because it feels so how would I put it, not good and unfinished in my eyes. So basically I've been sitting on this finished chapter for almost a week, tweaking everything to make it more presentable for you all, but alas I still don't feel good releasing this chapter, but seeing as how much people has been visiting chapter 9 lately i forced myself to release this, so apologies in advance if you find it very bad I will do everything in my power to make the next chapter way better than this.
Now, I've been thinking about my schedule, and since I'm rather busy writing another story and my own novel at the minute so I think I'll set out to release at least one chapter per week, to know when I upload my chapter be sure to hit follow on this story. Also, i might make a profile on like Tumblr or something in the future so you can see what's up with me, and updates on this story, though more on that in the next chapter.
Anyways, that's sort of it from me for now. I really hope you all will enjoy this chapter at least a little bit.
PS: I apologize ahead of time about some inconsistencies like characters acting out of character or straight up acting weirdly, they're all planned and will be explained eventually as I make more chapters, it is intentional. So please pay that in mind as you read this and other chapters going forward.
And last thing before I go, this chapter is written mostly from a point of Ryuuji's view (still in 3rd person though) so he doesn't know everything that's happening around and what people think, he can only guess. Though note, that's not the case everytime, sometimes it's a inner monologue of someone else.

Thank you for reading this far! I'm really glad you liked it, and I hope I will be able to entertain you by this chapter and chapters I'll release in the future.

Glad you liked the story! Also, thank you I tried to make Ami as unlikable as I could for the sake of the story, whilst making her goals and reasoning realistic. So I'm glad she got that sort of reaction out of you.
Story begins here
It was a beautiful hot spring morning of 2010, birds chirped outside as the sun rose over the horizon, inviting it's beams to illuminate the Japanese isles.
One of those beams made their way over to the eyes of Ryuuji Takasu, who was accompanied by his girlfriend Taiga Aisaka who was snuggling tightly against him in bed, so much so she was practically using him as a hug pillow.
The irritation of sun beams reaching his eye caused him to awaken quite abruptly. Ryuuji slowly opened his eye as his body was still waking up, he looked at his side to see his beautiful doll-like lover still fast asleep basically being stuck on him under the warm blanket they both were covered by.
Ryuuji tried to think of how to get out of the bed without waking Taiga up, this was his morning routine as she always stuck to him with her whole body when she fell asleep, and because of this countless of times he accidentally woke her up when he tried to get up, causing her to be groggy and cranky for the whole day, which to a normal person would be pretty irritating, but when Taiga was groggy and cranky all hell gone loose to people around her. After a little while Ryuuji finally figured the best way to get out of bed without waking her up this time, he lifted Taiga's head slightly and slipped his arm away which she used as a pillow, like she did everyday as it became her favorite thing to do. Ryuuji slowly lowered her head onto the pillow and began slipping from her hug, only to be hugged even tighter. "Stay with me for a little longer" Taiga said still mostly asleep, but she was aware of the fact he was trying to get up.
It was a tempting offer for him, as he knew how great it feels to be sleeping besides her. Ryuuji reached out to his phone which was lying at a nightstand on his right but it was hard to reach due to the pure size of the king bed they both were lying in, though he somehow reached the phone, and so he checked the time on it, it was 6:15.
If it were a year ago he would get up no matter what to clean up, prepare breakfast and dress to the school, but lately he started to enjoy his mornings a bit more by sleeping in with Taiga until around 7:15 more and more often, of course to do so he started to clean up and make food the day before so he wouldn't have to do so in the morning, so he looked back at Taiga who was half asleep and half awake awaiting his answer, Ryuuji put the phone down.
"Alright, but only for an hour okay?" Takasu said as he set up an alarm to 7:15 and slipped back under the blanket and into welcoming Taiga's arms, who was happy he chose to sleep in with her a bit longer.
Soon after that they both fell asleep again, only to be awaken by the annoying sound of the alarm, Taiga's hugs were really magical as they had an ability to enchant anyone who received them by making them want to stay like that forever, unfortunately responsibilities called.
Ryuuji reached out for his phone and turned off the alarm as the couple both started to wake up, or rather only Takasu started to wake up and Aisaka was trying to go back to sleep. Ryuuji looked over to her as he woke up both mentally and physically. "C'mon Taiga, get up we have to get ready for school" He said to her to try and wake her up.
"Give me a few more minutes Ryuuji" Taiga pleaded with him to let her sleep in a bit longer, though she had no desire to get up at all.
Ryuuji sighed and gave up, he knew that he couldn't convince her to get up, and if he would make her get up she would be extremely groggy and cranky.
"Okay, I'll go prepare breakfast, so please be up when it's done okay?" Ryuuji asked, but he got no answer, though with the way she began softly snoring again he recognized that she was already asleep. Ryuuji sighed again as he got up from the king bed and walked over to the kitchen to prepare something to eat for the two of them and something for Yasuho too. He already prepared lunch for both of them the day before, but he still needed to make the breakfast.
In the matter of a few minutes he managed to whip up a omurice that looked very tasty and smelled even better, he placed two plates on the dinning table in the kitchen as he prepared the third omurice for Yasuho and began cleaning up the mess that he made in the process.
Taiga loved sleeping a lot, but if there was something she loved even more was food, especially when she was starving. The smell of the Omurice made it's way to her nose, waking her up immediately. She rubbed her eyes and ran over to the dinner table in the matter of seconds, even a year later it surprised and fascinated Ryuuji that food had such a effect on her, especially knowing how much she loved sleeping. When Takasu finally cleaned up the mess he made prior he turned back to the dining table only to see the Omurice he made for Taiga gone and Taiga sitting at the table with a face of pure euphoria, she somehow managed to chow down a full Omurice in a matter of a minute. Aisaka's appetite was another thing that fascinated Takasu.
"You could have waited for me you know?" Ryuuji pointed out to Taiga as he sat next to her as she still was still sitting there with a blissful expression and a fully belly. As the words pierced her ears she understood just the severity of what he just said and because of it she tensed up immediately.
"I'm sorry but I was really hungry" Taiga apologized as she looked down in shame because she realized that she might have hurt his feelings a little bit.
"It's okay, I'm glad that you liked it so much" Ryuuji said calmly with a slight genuine smile on his face, hearing that made Taiga relax a little bit that he wasn't mad at her but she still was a little bit anxious for some odd reason.
Both remained awkwardly silent after that as Ryuuji ate his Omurice, it was a bit of a awkward day and that was because Valentine's day was right around the corner and both were trying to think of what to give to each other they were sheepish about asking each other what the other wanted, as both took the day very seriously, so much that they treated it as a secondary Christmas of sorts. Though Taiga was acting awkward for a reason other than that, though Ryuuji was blissfully unaware of what it was.
Finally after a few minutes of eating and sitting in silence Ryuuji finished his meal, got up and picked up his plates as he proceeded to do the dishes in the kitchen.
Taiga looked at Ryuuji as he walked to the kitchen with a very anxious look on her face, as she wanted to ask Ryuuji something but she couldn't muster up enough courage to ask so she just looked down disappointed in herself, though Ryuuji didn't saw that.
Ryuuji looked at the clock that was hanging up right next to the kitchen, It read 7:50.
He stared at that clock with pure horror on his face as his gaze flickered back at Taiga.
"Oh no, we're going to be late! Quickly put on your uniform, if we run maybe we'll able to make it on time" Ryuuji shouted at Taiga as he left the plates in the sink, as they weren't completely clean. Upon hearing Ryuuji's voice being raised like that Taiga springed back to reality, confused and panicked.
Takasu ran over to the bedroom where their uniforms were neatly folded in the closet, he opened the closet with a lot of force because of the rush, almost breaking the closet in the process. Ryuuji scrambled to take their uniforms from the closet and ran back to the kitchen all in the span of a few seconds.
"Here!" Ryuuji said panicked as he gave Taiga her uniform, they both started changing quickly when they realized just what they were doing. They both turned red as tomatoes as Ryuuji looked at Taiga who was just frozen with embarrassment as her face contorted with negative emotions.
Despite dating for almost a year they still weren't used to showing each other a lot of skin, and that was mainly due to Taiga feeling very insecure about her body, so she always acted like her old Tsundere herself towards him whenever anything related to that came up.
Taiga upon finally unfreezing from the embarrassment turned to Ryuuji only to see him staring at her for a split second. With the insecurities kicking in again she turned violent once more like she used to do.
"Stop looking you perverted dog! You mongrel!" Taiga yelled at Ryuuji as she shoved him away to make him stop looking with her head hanging low as to hide her embarrassed face.
"Wait!" Ryuuji yelled back as he started losing balance before falling on his back, hurting himself quite a lot in the process.
Taiga raised her head when she heard the loud thump, and there she saw Takasu lying in pain rubbing his back with a face that told her he was in a lot of pain.
She stood there frozen again with both her hands covering her face as she realized just much she screwed up. This was the first time in a long time that her violent outbursts ever lead to Ryuuji getting hurt. She was so worried that Ryuuji was going to be mad at her because of it, or something ever worse.
"I-I'm so sorry Ryuuji, I didn't wanted you to trip like this" Aisaka said with anxious and nervous expression as she kneeled beside him to see if he way okay, she desperately wanted to see his reaction if he was mad at her or not. Takasu got up his up his feet with Taiga's help, stretched and took a look upon her again
"It's alright Taiga, I shouldn't have looked" Ryuuji apologized to Taiga as he rubbed his head that still hurt like hell because of the impact. Taiga couldn't look him in the eyes, she was both too ashamed and embarrassed, so she kept looking away from him.
They both sort of just stood there being awkwardly silent.
"Um, anyways we should get going, we really won't make it if we won't hurry" Takasu spoke up breaking the awkward silence.
"Yeah" Taiga whispered silently, still looking down embarrassed and ashamed. There was something bothering her a lot, but again she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Well, how about you go change to the bedroom then? I'll change here" he said to Taiga as he looked at her, he could tell something was wrong, but he didn't wanted to push her any further so he just left it as it was until he could find a better time to ask her.
Taiga nodded, turned around and walked back to the bedroom, her uniform in hand, and with a teary face.
Ryuuji changed in the giant living room that also acted as a kitchen. As he finished changing he sat back at the dinner table and wondered what was bothering Taiga, he acted the same way towards her like he did for the last year, bought her gifts and tried to be the best boyfriend he could be. Yet she was hiding something, and she was unhappy about said thing. Though Ryuuji couldn't wrap his head about what it was, all he knew was that he needed to find out what was that thing that made her so unhappy.
Before he could think more about what bothering her Taiga returned from the bedroom, wearing her school uniform looking dazzling as ever, so much so he sat there sitting completely dazed by the sight of her in the uniform. Even a year later he was always hypnotized by her beauty.
It was apparent that she calmed down a little bit and even smiled a little when she looked at Ryuuji, question was if it was genuine or not.
"So, are you ready to head out? We're going to be late if we don't hurry" Taiga asked Ryuuji a little bit embarrassed, Ryuuji snapped back to reality upon hearing her beautiful voice.
"Yeah, let's go" Ryuuji replied as he got up to his feet.
They started walking towards the exit where their school bags were lying alongside their school boots. As the couple approached the shoe cabinet they started changing their boots as Ryuuji took one last look at the clock, his face turned pale again. It was 7:55, he looked at Taiga who was still changing her boots.
"We have to go!" Ryuuji shouted at Taiga as he grabbed their school bags in one hand and Taiga's hand in the other as he ran out of the door to try and make it to the class before the class started, though he made sure not to squeeze her hand too tightly to not hurt her.
After a few minutes of constant running they made it to the school, just a few seconds before the class started. Exhausted and out of breath they made it to their seats as they flopped to catch their breath
"Hey, are you okay Takasu?" A familiar voice asked from behind him, Ryuuji turned around to find out that voice belonged to noone other than the Council President and his good fiend Yusaku Kitamura.
"Hey Kitamura, yeah I'm okay just out of breath is all, we got up really late so we had to run all the way from our home to school." Ryuuji explained to Kitamura, he nodded in response as he adjusted his glasses whilst Ryuuji caught his breath.
"Well, I'm glad you were able to make it to class on time, but you know as a Council President I have the duty to urge you to start getting up earlier so you and Aisaka are here earlier because it gives a bad reputation to the class that you come to the class almost late quite often" Kitamura scolded Ryuuji because of his position as a Council President, he didn't wanted to but his role forced him to. Ryuuji nodded simply in a response. Maybe living with Taiga it made him softer, he used to get up 7:00 at latest so he would have enough time to make her breakfast but when he moved in slowly but surely he started getting later and latter more often.
"Sorry, I've been getting up very last-minute lately, I'll start waking up earlier if it's a problem then" Ryuuji apologized to the Council President. Upon hearing that he smiled slightly.
"Thanks Takasu, sorry to dump it all on you first thing in the morning but I've been getting a lot of complaints from the teachers that saw you getting to the class last minute" Yusaku explained to Takasu. That made him feel really bad about it, afterall he had so much duties to do as a council president that him getting bogged down with the complaints from the teachers about him and Taiga must have put a lot of stress on him in the process.
"It's alright Kitamura, I don't mind. Anyways, did the teachers bothered you a lot about it?" Ryuuji asked Kitamura, hoping for a no as that would make him feel at least a bit better about the situation.
Kitamura nodded a no.
"Not really honestly, they just complained to me from time to time about it, I just thought I would bring it up seeing as you were almost late again..." Kitamura explained his reasoning, but he wasn't done talking yet, he still had something to say.
"...Anyways, That's enough of me for one day. So what about you? Are you feeling alright?" He asked with a sort of concerned tone in his voice. Ryuuji was confused as to what he meant with that.
"Yeah, I'm good why wouldn't I be?" Ryuuji asked still completely oblivious as to the meaning of the question. Was it his demeanor that gave off vibes that he wasn't alright? Or maybe it was the way he looked or something? Ryuuji wasn't properly sure himself.
"You look really stressed out, like way more than usual. Is everything okay?" Kitamura asked his friend once more, looking and sounding concerned as ever. Takasu started really thinking about it properly as he found out that Yusaku is sort of right.
"Well, I guess I just have my head full lately because Valentines day, so that's why I look so stressed. Not to mention Taiga has been acting sort of awkward towards me, so that's another thing." Ryuuji explained as he turned around to look at Taiga and Minorin, who were talking with each about something, though he couldn't hear them as they were quite far away. Taiga was smiling and laughing, something he hasn't seen her do much whenever she was around him. Kitamura also focused his gaze on where Ryuuji's line of sight was aimed at, as he looked at the two best friends chatting he understood the issue.
"I see, well I can't really help you out with that. Seeing as I don't have much experience in that regard, but I might know someone who could help you, in both your issues" Kitamura explained his
Upon hearing this Ryuuji's ears perked up, wanting to hear who this mysterious person could be to help him with his troubles.
He turned away from the pair as he looked Kitamura in the eyes
"Who do you have in mind?" Ryuuji asked with burning curiosity plastered on his face. Kitamura adjusted his glasses and pointed back to the pair they were looking at just few seconds ago, Takasu's eyes darted over to where he pointed only to see that he was pointing at Minorin Kushieda the whole time.
"Kushieda? Why her?" Ryuuji said agitated as he looked back to Kitamura to search for more answers. Seeing his face like that was priceless to Kitamura, but he indeed was serious the whole time.
"Easy really, who's the closest to Taiga and knows her tastes best and who does she trusts the most besides you?" Kitamura asked Ryuuji who still sat there zoned out, thinking over the positives and negatives of that plan, and what it could lead to in the future, after a few seconds he zoned back in.
"Kushieda huh? I mean, if I convinced her to help me then that would help me out a lot. But here's a thing me and her have sort of a awkward relationship, so I'm not completely sure that'll work out" Takasu looked down as he turned a little bit sad because he got his hopes up about solving his biggest issues but got his dreams crushed by ugly reality. Just as he did Kitamuta reached out to his shoulder, Ryuuji recoiled forward a bit as he didn't expected him to do that.
"Hey, even if that's the case if you go out of your way to say it's for Aisaka I'm sure she'll help you. Of course I can help too if needed but like I said I'm not much of use in this situation I'm afraid" Kitamura explained with inspiring passion and hope, instantly making Ryuuji more determined to fix that issue more than ever.
"Yeah, you're right. And well, even if that doesn't work out at least I can't say I didn't tried." Takasu said with optimism as a very slight smile on his face. Kitamura nodded in support.
"That's good to hear, so when do you plan to talk to her?" Yusaku once more asked. He knew that the sooner he talked to her the better, because the longer he would wait the bigger the chance was to screw up everything he had going on with Taiga.
Ryuuji stopped for a second and started thinking about that, he could talk to her after class, or he could just talk to her when it would the most convenient. At first he wanted to choose the latter option, but as the waves of potential very bad outcomes flooded his mind he choose the first option.
"I'm gonna try talking to her after class if she has the time" Ryuuji replied as he looked back at Kitamura, who was smilling that he succeeded in making him do something about his issue so he wouldn't be sad and miserable.
"That's good to hear, i hope it'll go well. Also tell me how it went tomorrow" Kitamura said in high spirits, he always had a good feeling after helping someone or in this case, steer someone on a good path.
"Yeah, well..." Takasu was about to something as the teacher came in to the class, they both understood that they would have to dissolve their conversation for now and take their seats.
Kitamuta walked towards his seat near Ryuuji's, and kept standing up as all of the students stood up at attention along side him to show respect to the teacher. The whole class sat down as the teacher called out the Council President to do his every day speech/report. Like every day since he took over the position from his crush it turned into everyday's routine, and this time was no different.
Though Ryuuji had no interested about that, as soon as he sat down he looked at his girlfriend who was oblivious to the fact he was staring at her as she was focusing on what the teacher was talking about.
Oh how much would it be easier if he could see in her head, but alas he couldn't, all he could do was try and fix it through other means. He averted his gaze from his girlfriend to her best friend: Minorin Kushieda.
Kushieda was always a very interesting person in his eyes, energetic, always upbeat and forever hopeful, originally he had a crush on her during most of his 2nd year in the highschool, he always suspected that she had one on him too but he never found as after he started dating Taiga she began avoiding him in a great lengths, so much so it was very apparent she didn't wanted to be around him, though when Taiga asked her about it she would always dismiss it and say she just doesn't have the time to hang out with him. Maybe it was jealousy that someone took her precious Taiga, or maybe something else? Well, that didn't mattered anymore as he only needed her to find out what was up with Taiga through her, not to mention it was a waste to think about the past.
All he could do then was wait for the right opportunity.
Few hours later after, the classes ended and finally he found a chance to go talk to her as he couldn't do so before as Taiga was by her side the whole time, and that would be utterly pointless if Taiga heard his plan. Fortunately for him though she went to the toilet after the last class, leaving only Ryuuji and Kushieda in the class as they were both waiting on her. Kushieda was packing her stuff as waited on Taiga because she was unexpectedly free that day as she wasn't working any part time jobs and she didn't have softball practice that day, so she decided she would hang out with Taiga.
He sat back and went over about how he should approach her, had no idea how he would do it.
After thinking about it very hardly he came to a conclusion that the best course of actions would be to just wing it and ask her straight on if she could help him.
He got up from his chair and slowly begun walking to her, a lot of emotions welded up inside of him, though none of them could overpower his sense of determination to find out Taiga's problem and fix it.
Upon hearing the footsteps of someone walking towards her direction Minorin looked up with quite the cheery expression on her face, though as she realized who she was looking at her expression turned more grim unconsciously.
"Hey, Kushieda" Ryuuji greeted her with a wave, for a second Minorin looked away as if she was disgusted by his very present, though she looked him in the eyes again.
"Hey Takasu! What's up?" Minorin put her happy go lucky facade on again against Ryuuji, but she was anything but happy to see him, there was just feeling of bad memories and discomfort for her whenever they accidentally or not bumped into each other.
"Nothing much honestly, I'm just waiting on Taiga to go home with her I guess" Takasu explained as he looked towards the door, looking if Taiga wasn't around though she didn't returned yet.
"Oh, I'm hanging out with her after school" Kushieda added. Even though she said just that he knew exactly what she meant by that, she wanted him to go away and leave her alone. Unfortunately for her he wouldn't just go away that day.
"Right, I guess I'll just go home then if she's going to be busy hanging out with you then..." Ryuuji said as he turned away and began walking to the outside of the class, Minorin sighed silently as she though she just dogged a bullet by making him go away, or so she thought as he stopped midway to the class door and just stood there.
"... Though, I have a favor to ask you before I do" He continued, a very suffocating feeling filled Kushieda's body, she thought that she won and that he would go away and not torment her, but alas she wouldn't be so lucky.
"What is it?" Minorin asked, sitting on the edge of her seat hoping he would ask something really simple and meaningless. Ryuuji turned back to her with a serious look on his face, that expression mixed with those dangerous looking eyes would make any man or beast tremble,and it scared Minorin a little as she never saw that part of him.
"Can you please find out what's been bothering Taiga lately?" he asked with passion in his eyes, of all things she expected him to ask for this was the last on the list. She stood there bewildered.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Kushieda asked, still completely perplexed as to what he just asked for. He looked at her straight in the eyes and said.
"Taiga has been acting very strange lately, and I don't have a clue why, I can tell something is really hurting her, but I just can't find find out why is that." Ryuuji pleaded with her, his serious expression quickly melted away and was replaces that of a desperation and sadness.
"I had no idea she was suffering like that, if I did I would have talked to her earlier about it" Minorin's gaze lowered itself by a lot as she put on a thousand yard stare watching the floor beneath her. So many thoughts coursed through her mind. How could have she be so blind to not see her best friend suffer? She felt like a failure of a friend because she knew how much Taiga hid her true intentions and she thought she could tell what she really felt, but not that time where it counted the most.
"So, will you help me them?" Takasu broke the silence and her very long train of thoughts. Kushieda snapped back to reality as his voice made it to her ears. She looked back at him with a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah, she's my best friend after all" she explained, he already knew of course that's why he went to her in the first place amongst other personal reasons, for example he hoped he would rekindle the friendship that fizzled out after he started dating Taiga.
"Thank you for understanding my.. or well in this situation our problem and for helping me out." he thanked her with a slight bow, she nodded back in a response. She didn't really wanted to help Ryuuji but she had to help Taiga, but that was all that Ryuuji was asking for.
"It's no problem Takasu" she replied, despite sounding very up beat and joyful like she always does, the truth was that it was the last thing she was, a lot of emotions went through her head. Mainly negative, but with some positive feelings sprinkled in.
"Well, if you say so. Also I'm really sorry our friendship has soured so much over the last year, I should have talked to you like this sooner" he apologized, sure she was doing everything she could to avoid him, but he still felt it was his mistake for not pursuing the friendship even when she kept avoiding him for some reason.
"No, it's okay you don't have to be sorry, this was my fault" Minorin looked down in shame. Though despite feeling bad about it she was kind of glad he wanted her help, because it gave her a reason or a excuse rather in this situation to talk to him alone, so it was a blessing in a disguise in a way.
"Anyways, I'll try and find out what's been on her mind lately when I hang out with her, I'll tell you how it went tomorrow." Minorin continued with her happy go lucky attitude, but it was really easy to tell she was feeling the opposite of that inside.
"Thank you, let's hope everything goes well" He thanked her, just as he said this his girlfriend Taiga walked back from toilet, she hasn't returned to the class room yet, but rather she opted to listen and look to see what they were up to. Her eyes widened as she saw the two of them together, they weren't doing anything bad per-se. But because they were talking without her being there she came up to a conclusion they were up to or planning something, Which made Taiga very paranoid and anxious as despite nothing happening she still it felt a little betrayed by the two.
"Yeah, I hope so too." Kushieda said as she looked onto Takasu's sharp eyes. She hoped she was going to find out what was wrong with her, but deep down she wasn't sure if she going to be able to make her spill the beans about her problems, that's why she prayed and hoped that she was going to make it.
"Anyways, I have to go now because the market is going to close soon and I need that food to prepare Dinner for me and Taiga, So I'll see you around" Ryuuji said goodbye. Kushieda nodded back, at first she wanted him to leave immediately, but if he stuck around a little while longer she wouldn't mind one bit.
"Goodbye Takasu" Kushieda smiled with a giant fake grin on a face as she made a thumbs up gesture towards him. He nodded and walked out of the classroom, as he did she sighed because it took a lot out of her to keep that facade of a happy go lucky Minorin.
After Ryuuji walked out from the classroom he noticed Taiga standing infront of the classroom, normally he'd ask what she was doing there but he didn't wanted to be annoying.
"Hey Taiga, I heard from Kushieda you two are going to be hanging out with each other, I'll prepare a dinner for you when you come back" Takasu said, as soon as he started speaking he caught her attention. Aisaka turned and walked up to him as she listened to what he had to say, as he finished talking she hugged him tightly. It totally caught him off guard, she was the one who said that they shouldn't do lover stuff in school as it made her embarrassed, yet here she was hugging him tightly as she could. She stood there wailing his hands for a solid second as he calmed down and understood what she was doing, still though he turned as red as a tomato because they still were in school and anyone could see that at any moment, which he found embarrassing.
Taiga looked up to way taller Ryuuji as she raised herself up to her toes and perked her lips, Takasu understood what she wanted him to do without telling him a single word. He closed his eyes, brought his head to hers and perked his lips expecting a kiss. And a kiss he got, It was so passionate that he couldn't remember the last time that it felt so great to kiss with her. Their lips continued to wrap around each other as they drowned in the sheer ecstasy.
Eventually they parted their lips as they were out of breath
"Thanks Ryuuji, I love you" Taiga looked up at Ryuuji with a giant smile on her face, it was still a bit puzzling for Takasu as she never did it with him in a school let alone out of nowhere like that. But after seeing that smile he forgot all about, all that mattered to him was her happiness.
"No problem Taiga I love you too, anyways I'll see you later tonight" Ryuuji smiled genuinely back to his lover, her happiness made him happy too.
"Yeah, see you later tonight Ryuuji" Taiga nodded as she waved him goodbye, still a smile on her face. Ryuuji waved her off too and he walked away with a smile on his face too.
As soon as he walked around the corner though her smile quickly dropped, there was still that thing bothering her.
Aisaka opened the door, revealing Kushieda sitting in her chair with a neutral look on her face, thinking of the passing events that just transpired. If there was anyone who would know what's truly going on with her, it was her. Both her and Ryuuji hoped that to be the case.
End of Chapter 10 - New Story
