Having suddenly blurted out a suggestion, I felt a bit embarassed, and half-tried to cover up the fact I'd even opened my mouth. Luckily, the others seemed to agree with me, so it was okay.

I was about to speak again (Are you sure you can handle talking that much??) to ask if we ought to head out now, when a woman approached. She looked down at us all. Maybe it was my imagination, but it seemed like she focused on me particularly.

Who is she...?

She answered the question by introducing herself halfway through her conversation with Satomi. Apparently, she taught mathematics. With a kind of forced politeness, Satomi explained further.

quote:
"Enomoto-sensei will be tutoring me in maths for a while."
Oh. Best not to ask then... I looked back and forth between Tanaka and Aoi, trying not to look up at the woman. I hoped one of them would say something, because I definitely had nothing to say.

quote:
"Ah, Enomoto-sensei, shitsurei shimasu. We're just on our way outside..."
Thank you! "Yeah..." was the only response I could think of.

ENOMOTO REI

I was making Satomi-san uncomfortable. This had been a bad idea after all. Time to make my exit. The young people seemed happy and relaxed enough, or rather, the two girls did. The brown haired boy was very shy. I smiled down at him but he didn't look up. As an encouragement I patted him on the shoulder and gave a small squeeze, though I don't know why.

Hissori-san

I stepped back with a smile. "I should get on. I have work to do and I am taking up your lunch break. It was lovely to see you Satomi-san and lovely to meet your friends. This evening then? Five o'clock? Goodbye." I raised a hand to the group and nodded at them and withdrew, leaving the school by the main entrance and turning right down the hill towards the train station.

Quick subject caused my sentence to be left hanging. Not that I knew what to say anyway.

"Ah..." I began, but decided to let Sadoru reply.

I sipped on my juice, thinking.

...

...

"Ne Miyamoto, if let's say Sadoru was thinking of hitting on you, what should he do to impress you?"I blurted out before I even realized it.

"Nope! Everything was juuust fine. I don't really see why you think you made a bad impression, Icchan..."
She twirled round and her skirt flew out. I made every effort to look anywhere except below her waist. Damn. Girls. They must know what effect that has...

You're a bit of a tease, Miss Miyamoto, hm?

Icchan was mumbling something but it was lost in a whirl of Miyamoto-ness.

quote:
"Anyway! I'm forgetting about lunch. Maybe you didn't eat me alive because you were too hungry for this, hmm?"
She sat between us and after teasing Icchan she held out a hand to me. I looked at it, a little surprised and then reached to shake it but she snatched it away. My hand withdrew.

I see. You're not a Tanaka or a Takako are you?

Even so, you're quite something.

I raised a questioning eyebrow at her and grinned anyway.

quote:
"I'm not sure we were introduced properly. Well... I've forgotten your name at least... sorry about that. Do I get a second chance?"
quote:
"Ah..."
I glanced across Miyamoto at Icchan but nothing further came. I looked back at this rather frisky girl. "I'm not so sure you're the sort of girl who does proper introductions. But shake my hand and we'll start over." I held my hand out ready to pull it away the moment she tried to shake it.

After that little game I smelled their hot food. "You got the curry? Ow. Didn't you know Isakaya curry is on the list of government banned substances. Don't breathe on me this afternoon!" I reached under the bench and retrieved my bento. I opened the box, snapped my chopsticks and speared a piece of chicken. It was half way to my lips when...

quote:
"Ne Miyamoto, if let's say Sadoru was thinking of hitting on you, what should he do to impress you?"
...

...

I froze.

...

The chicken slipped from my chopsticks and bouncing off my knee landed in Miyamoto's lap.

...

Er. Right.

Slowly I reached down with my chopsticks... "Sumimasen..." and retrieved the food off her skirt and skilfully lifting the sticks, flipped the offending piece of chicken over my shoulder into a waste bin.

"Er. Well. Okayu. Okayu Sadoru. Pleased to meet you." I gave her a small nod. "But I'm not counting that as a second chance. I think Icchan just blew his one though."

The woman turned out to be Kazuo's tutor and although she seemed nice enough, he looked incredibly uncomfortable. It was all a bit awkward, really. Aoi bluntly but quite nicely diffused the situation and even Hibiki-san offered a weak agreement.

Enomoto-san took the hint and excused herself. The relief in the air was obvious and feeling a little responsible, I gave her a smile and said, "It was nice meeting you."

Once she was gone, I turned towards the others and suggested, "Shall we go, then?"

Not that I wasn't curious about why Kazuo was at such unease with a woman he was going to being seeing frequently but I didn't think he'd be very forthcoming after being in the spotlight so I left off.

She not too subtly dodged my question about kissing and I felt my curiosity sharpen.

If it had just been Seisaku then I expect you would have answered that question!

Then who...? Icchan perhaps...you're quite close...

I bit my lip against any questions. This isn't a time for interrogations.

We grabbed our lunchboxes from the homeroom and went down to the entrance.


quote:
"Who did you want to find? Some of them are getting their shoes on and talking to... oh!"


"Oh...?" I asked, more than a little confusion in my voice.

I want to understand!

I felt a bizarre mix of frustration and sadness and not being able to grasp what she was talking about.

It must be like this for all the people with shadows. Maybe i'll never understand Na-chan or Hibiki-kun, no matter how hard I tried.

I looked away, a determined frown on my face. No! This can't be that hard. I'm sure if I make the effort I can keep up. Just like maths...

"Where are the people who were getting their shoes on now, and who were they talking to? Can you tell?" I asked, an encouraging smile on my face.

I looked at her. She looked confused. I smiled and said "Yes. Oh."

because...

quote:
"Where are the people who were getting their shoes on now, and who were they talking to? Can you tell?"
I smiled at her more and walked down a few more steps to the entrance hall. "There!" I pointed at Aigyo-Aoi, Ureshii-Mai, Kuru-Ka and Hazu-Hi.

"They were talking to..."

{{ one of them }}

"Hmm?"

"One of them. But they... she went, have you ever kissed anyone Chi?" I asked. "I mean properly, in a way that feels really good, so your insides tumble all over themselves?"

I looked over, only very slightly suprised to see that she had been right. I already found myself trusting in her 'spidey sense'.

quote:
"They were talking to.. One of them. But they... she went, have you ever kissed anyone Chi? I mean properly, in a way that feels really good, so your insides tumble all over themselves?"



"I...umm..." I found myself going red, my gaze still on the chattering group before us. Well, on one particular member of the group to be exact.

"Not really. I haven't known many boys till I came in, and until recently I was quite..."

Afraid?

"...Nervous about talking to any of them. I think i'd like to though."

"Have you?" I asked, though the answer was obvious.

Icchan made a few incoherent noises and his friend made a couple of jokes. I laughed at the right moments, but for now I had nothing more to say.

quote:
"Ne Miyamoto, if let's say Sadoru was thinking of hitting on you, what should he do to impress you?"
Smooth.

Who I imagined was Sadoru dropped chicken on me and then quickly relieved me of it with his chopsticks. This is awkward.

quote:
"Er. Well. Okayu. Okayu Sadoru. Pleased to meet you."
"Y... yeah. You too." Blanking out the comment about Icchan, I took a deep breath and turned to the guilty party. "In answer to your question... I'd recommend skill with chopsticks." I added in a whisper, "that's my secret fetish."

This time I nudged Sadoru instead. "Your friend Sadoru-kun seems to meet that requirement. I guess I'll have to pick him." I leaned on Sadoru's shoulder. "How does that sound?"

"It sounds... um."

I think Icchan just blew his one though.

I think I just blew my one though.

I think...


...

I fished out a tissue from my pocket and offered it to Miyamoto. "Third time lucky?"

I rolled my eyes at her as she mock-struggled to figure out where to sit. But when decided on right, and I mean right, next to me, the grin that pulled at the corner of my mouth made it impossible to look exasperated.

quote:
"Choose whatever you like. I want to treat you."

"Oh I like treats," I grinned at her, unrestrained now, "But only if you guess what I want right. If you're wrong, it's my treat."

"Have you?"
I stared at her. Her face had gone a funny colour. "Really? Nervous? You? Don't be silly! I can tell you're not nervous, you always mess about so much, laughing and playing, you're really nice to be with, I like you lots and boys must like you even more!"

I grinned at her, eyes wide. "Yes. Last week. It was my first one! It was... amazing!" I wiggled a little at the memory, "Do you want to go join the others?" I glanced across at the group and caught sight of the woman as she went down the steps.

I watched her go, wondering.

"That's not fair!" Eyes wide I accused her of giving me an impossible task, then melted at her smile and gave her a hug. "How can I guess what you want? Could be anything!"

I had a sudden thought, "Now that I think of it, have we ever discussed food?" I put my hand on hers under the table, "Give me a clue. What sorts of things does Hikari like?"

"I like you a lot too."

I laughed at her wiggling, her unabashed joy at remembering said moment.

"Maybe i'll get my kiss soon, ne?" I giggled, elbowing her gently in the ribs "Then we can compare."

quote:
"Do you want to go join the others?"


"I..." Hibiki-kun is there. Yes please. "...Wouldn't want to interrupt though. Do you think they'd mind us joining them?" I asked, uncharachteristically shyly.

I raised an eyebrow, I've heard worse. I carried on eating while she played with Icchan but my second bite of chicken got squeezed out of my chopsticks when I was nudged again. It popped up into the air and fell on the floor.

quote:
"Your friend Sadoru-kun seems to meet that requirement. I guess I'll have to pick him."
Sadoru-kun? Getting friendly real fast here. I stared at the chicken on the ground then she leaned on my shoulder. I stared at her head hmm...

quote:
"How does that sound?"
"Sounds like I'm going to go hungry today." Waiting before I went for another mouthful I asked, "How is Miyamoto-san with chopsticks? Good finger control?"

"That was the point, rather," I said into her hair as she hugged me. When she pulled back, she had another question for me.

"It's not fair that you get to treat. I want to treat you," I added with a grin that spread when I felt her hand on mine under the table.
quote:
"Now that I think of it, have we ever discussed food? Give me a clue. What sorts of things does Hikari like?"


Letting my thumb gently stroke her hand, I answered, "Hm. Well, okay. Nothing sweet - I have too much of that at home and salty stuff is much better tasting, anyways. I don't like mushy things like porridge or pudding. Fish, I like. Meat, not so much and that's not always fun. Rice is alright but I like bread much better. And curry! Mmm...yes. Is that enough to go on, do you think?"

"Oh and you tell me what you like, too," I finished with a nod.

"I'm sure they won't mind at all! How could they with you here? Come on!" I took her hand and bounced over.

"Hi!" I grinned at the four of them, dragging Chi into the group, "Are you all just about to go for lunch? Can we join you please?"

I glanced up at Chi, must find you someone to get a kiss from right away!

"It's not fair that you get to treat. I want to treat you."
I waggled a finger at her, "No. Next time. This is my day today. Hikari. Gets. Treated. A. Thank. You. From. Me." With each word I tapped my forefinger lightly on the end of her nose, then, before I could control myself, ran it gently down over her lips and off her chin.

She told me a long list of her culinary likes and dislikes and part way through I began to find it hard to concentrate on her words. I kept wanting to focus on her lips and the movement of her neck as she turned her head. But I made myself pay attention, this was important. Things Hikari Likes. Important stuff. Pay attention!

quote:
"Is that enough to go on, do you think?"
"Mmm." I came back into focus when she stopped talking, "Yeah. I think... Hm. Curry and seafood seems about right. I'm pretty sure they do a king prawn curry here. And soft warm bread to go with it, not rice. How does that sound?"

quote:
"Oh and you tell me what you like, too."
"Well..." I picked up the menu with my free hand and buried my face in it. "I know exactly what I want but. Hn. They don't have it on the menu." I lifted my eyes over the top of the card and looked at her, "You're not on it."

We started off again, but Kaz said nothing. Poor guy. How to lighten the mood? Change topics. That usually works.

"I'm starving!" I said emphatically. Although, I wasn't really that hungry. "What've you got today, Hibiki?"

No sooner had I asked, than I noticed Na-chan and Chi bolting this way. Or, Na-chan bolting this way, and Chi following a bit reluctantly.

quote:
"Hi! Are you all just about to go for lunch? Can we join you please?"
I gave Mai-chi a smile. If we were going to elect a leader, it would be her, no question. So why have a vote?

Then I glanced from Na-chan to Chi. Kiss who? What? You didn't say that out loud, did you?

Don't answer that.

Na-chan bounced over to the group of people with me following behind, smiling if not a little self-conciously.

I was careful not to look at...yeah.
