Kimi ni Todoke Fanfiction

Forever With You

Chapter 1

Searching For My Love

It was a few days before the end of the year, and everyone was back in school from Christmas Break. A girl in second year of high school with long black flowing hair walked to school briskly, wearing a long coat. Her name was Kuronuma Sawako, although lots of people call her "Sadako" like from the Ring. She was excited about her birthday being soon, as her birthday was on the last day of the year, December 31st. She had made up an idea last night and wanted to tell her close friends, so she quickly rushed to the school and went to class.

Sawako went to her class, and as she opened the doors, she was able to see her friends, Yoshida Chizuru, Yano Ayane, and Sanada Ryuu. Chizuru always seemed to give a look of a delinquent, but in reality, she was a tomboy who easily cried, just like Sawako. Ayane was a really beautiful girl who was always interested in romances and such. Ryuu was Chizuru's childhood friend, and always looked, no, he WAS sleeping. Sawako thought of them all as her close friends. There was also one other boy but he wasn't here at the moment. She was about to talk to her friends about her idea, before she was stopped by the bell. Even though she had walked quickly to class, she had still left her home a bit later then usual, so she did not get to talk to them. She sighed as she went to her desk and sat down.

At lunch, Sawako wanted to talk to them, but had already volunteered herself to help the teacher. When she finally finished all of her work, she couldn't find Chizuru and Ayane. She heard that the two girls had gone out to help out with something as well. 'I guess I'll talk to them after school.' Sawako thought to herself.

Finally, after all of the lessons, Sawako was able to talk to Chizuru, Ayane and Ryuu.

"Oh, Sawako! What's up?" Chizuru said happily. Ayane smiled to Sawako, while Ryuu just sat there, looking like he was going to sleep any minute.

"Oh yeah, your birthday is coming up. What do you want as a present!" Ayane asked. Sawako took a breath and tried to speak, but she was shaking as she spoke.

"Umm, is it okay… if umm…you guys visit m-my house o-on m-m-my b-birthday?" Sawako asked. She was blushing like crazy, from how she had used a lot of courage to ask them. Chizuru, Ayane and Ryuu stared at Sawako. 'Oh no! Did I sound too rude! Too forceful!' Sawako thought. Sawako would always over-think on things that she didn't need to get so stressed out about. Ayane began to crack up, and started laughing.

"Sawako! W-what the! Ahahahahaha!" Ayane was laughing like crazy, but before she knew it, Chizuru started crying besides her. Ayane stared at Chizuru and asked why Chizuru was crying.

"B-Because! Sawako! She must have taken a lot of courage to ask us that! Waahh!" Chizuru kept crying while Ayane just gave Chizuru a look that said "what-are-you-stupid?" Ayane smiled to Sawako and Sawako stared at them confused.

"Sawako. You don't have to be so nervous. Of course we would go. We're your friends after all!" Sawako's eyes brightened from Ayane's words and smiled back.

"Thank you, Ayane-chan!" Chizuru and Ayane smiled at Sawako's happiness, while Ryuu had already fallen asleep.

"Umm, Sanada-kun?" Sawako wasn't sure if he would go or not. Chizuru noticed and grinned.

"Don't worry. I'll drag Ryuu there whether he likes it or not!" Sawako tried to stop Chizuru, telling her she shouldn't force Ryuu, but she didn't listen. Ryuu just stared blankly, thinking in his mind 'I don't mind…but at least let me state my opinion' before going back to sleep.

"Oh yeah…have you asked him yet?" Ayane said with a cheeky grin. Sawako gave a smile, but it had disappointment in it. She shook her head.

"I was planning on looking for him right now." She had not seen him except in class, and hadn't had the chance to talk to him.

"Do you want us to help?" Chizuru asked. Sawako kindly denied their offer, and began to take her leave.

Meanwhile, there was a situation going on in the P.E. office. Usually you would expect the teacher be yelling at the student. This wasn't the case. Sure, the tall teacher who had Goku-like hair was yelling, but it had nothing to do with education. At the same time, a popular student with black rustled hair and good looks was forced to suffer this stupid teacher's rant.

"It's been so long since those little men visited me!"

"Pin…trust me…I really don't care about the little men." This student was none other than Kazehaya Shota. He was really starting to get pissed off at his teacher, Pin.

"And then…" Pin really didn't care about Shota's opinion at this point. "THEY STARTED JUMPING OUT OF MY SAKE CUP JUST LAST NIGHT! THEY'RE BACK!" Pin began shaking Shota like crazy. Poor Shota was beginning to get dizzy, until he forced himself out of Pin's grip. He took a breath and sighed.

"Come on Pin. I really need to g-"

"Maybe I should ask her for some advice! She is an exorcist after all!" Pin said cheerfully, cutting into what Shota was going to say. Shota knew who Pin was talking about, and was now seriously pissed. He gave a glare to Pin, and stood up.

"That's it! I'm leaving!" Shota didn't even listen to Pin's words, and left the room, sliding the door as hard as he can. When he was from a fair distance of the P.E. office, he stopped. He looked around, hoping to find her. He quickly saw a glimpse of her, and was about to call out to her. However…

"HEY KAZEHAYA!" The annoying friend of Shota's named Joe suddenly popped up right in front of Shota.

"WAAH!" Shota was so surprised he almost fell back as he took a few steps back. Joe was grinning his butt off, and Shota feigned a smile.

"Hey hey! Let's go karaoke today!" Joe said happily. Shota laughed, trying to act happy. "Didn't we just go a few days ago?"

"Oh come on! After you got together with her, we barely hang out anymore!" Joe said. Shota looked over Joe's shoulder, and couldn't see her anymore. At least he knew she was on the second floor. 'Hmm…I don't want to be mean, but I REALLY got to meet up with her!' Shota thought to himself.

"Hey Joe. I'll go on a condition."

"What condition?"

"Go to Kasanaidekara and get me umm…a bag of 'Oh Great Kami-Sama Chips'." 'Do those even exist?' Shota thought to himself. Amazingly enough, Joe gave a big smile, and promised to get it. Joe ran off, and Shota sighed in relief. 'Anyways. Since Sawako went down the stairs, she should be at the second floor by now! I better hurry!'

As he turns the corner, and is about to go down the stairs, he sees the glimpse of chestnut hair on a petite figure. He quickly turns back, and runs the other way across the school. The girl he had saw before was none other than Kurumizawa Ume. He never hated her, heck, they knew each other since middle school. 'It's just its kind of awkward to talk to her now like this, after her confession and all.' Shota thought to himself. He finally was reaching the other flight of stairs, and was so happy he was about to find Sawako.

"Hey Refreshing-kun~" Shota felt a pat on his shoulder and stopped in his tracks. He could feel a vein bulge out of his forehead, as he knew he would have to wait a bit longer to find Sawako. He turned around in displeasure to see none other than the blond haired Miura Kento, who had a giant grin plastered on his face.

"Not now, Miura. I really need to go!"

"Oh? How come? Running away from your girlfriend to cheat on her!"

"AS IF!" 'To be exact, I'm trying to do the opposite of what you're saying!' Shota thought to himself with an annoyed look on his face.

"Hey, hey, what's with that face, Refreshing-kun~?"

"It's Kazehaya, not 'Refreshing-kun'!" Shota was seriously getting pissed off. Kento already noticed this and smirked.

"Yes yes, Refreshing-kun. I won't hold you up any longer! You can go cheat on your girlfriend~" Kento released his grip on Shota's shoulder, who still was annoyed.

"I'm not cheating on her! And it's KA-ZE-HA-YA!"

"Oh? Then why are you so frantic!"

"I'm looking for her! Geez!"

And with that, Shota quickly ran down the stairs, pissed at Kento, wanting to get as far away as possible. Kento who stood at the top of the stairs just grinned in delight at Shota's displeasure and walked away.

The sun was already beginning to set, and Shota looked through the classrooms, hoping to find her. As he did, he stopped at a window which was a fond memory to him.

'Kazehaya-kun is 100% refreshing, no, it's like he's made out of brightness!'

'Hey…how should I take that?' Kazehaya stood there, leaning against the window, wondering about her sentence just now.

'As…a compliment!'

At that moment, for Shota, he felt things just 'clicked'. He remembers how from that moment on, he became closer to her than he expected. All of those happy and sad memories, they were all important to him. Shota smiles to himself, before he remembered what he was doing. He quickly began running again across the school, looking for her.

Sawako stood at her shoe locker, taking her shoes out. She asked Ayane and Chizuru to leave without her first. As she slipped her shoes on, she looked outside to notice that the sun was turning into a beautiful orange glow, and she knew the day was ending soon. She closed her shoe locker door and sighed to herself. She took her cell phone out and opened it. She stared at it for a while. 'Maybe I should send a text message.' Sawako thought to herself. 'But…what if I'm a bother! Oh no! What if he's busy or something! Uwah!' Sawako began to panic and was shaking from worry.

"Sawako!'

Sawako was so surprised! Her heart jumped, and she almost dropped her phone. She quickly gained her composure, and turned to see Shota who stood in front of her, panting for air.

"Ah, Shota!" Sawako quickly ran towards Shota and smiled to him. She could finally talk to him about her idea.

"Umm!" They both wanted to speak at the same time, and both quickly stopped.

"Umm, you can speak first!" Sawako said, motioning Shota to. He smiles and thanks her.

"I know that your birthday is coming up, so I was wondering if I can spend it with you!" Shota had a slight blush in his face, but he still grinned towards Sawako. Sawako's eyes widened in happiness and she agreed happily.

"Of course! Now I can spend my birthday with all of you!"

"Yup, all of us-"Shota stopped himself. "All of us?"

"Yup! You, Chizu-chan, Ayane-chan, Sanada-kun, and me! I was going to ask you the same thing before! I'm so happy!" Sawako smiled to Shota, who blinked in surprise.

He quickly blushed in realization. 'I guess I can't spend it alone with her. Although…' He stares back at Sawako's smile and smiles with her. 'I guess its okay as long as she's happy.' They walk back together like this, with them both smiling throughout the whole way.

Later that night, at Ryuu's house, Shota was in Ryuu's room.

"Umm Shota, are you mad at me or something?" Ryuu was really worried, because he could feel a hateful glare from Shota.

"It's nothing…" But Shota still continued to glare.

"No…I really don't think so…" Ryuu sweat dropped in confusion. Shota sighed to himself. 'In the end, I really do want it to be only me and Sawako on her birthday…'

A.N.- WOOT! FINALLY! THIS CHAPTER IS DONE! Okay guys, most of you know me from my first fanfic series, Kimi ni Todoke- A Second Christmas. I thank all of you who had given reviews and such! It made me really happy to read each one of your reviews! Arigatou gozaimasu~ m(_ _)m Well then, I guess I should explain this new fanfic of mine. This one isn't as story driven, and may have many arcs in it. This is just some short ideas I get of the couple together. So basically, they're like one shots XD I also have some arcs planned out, so don't worry XP I may use some really obvious shojo manga cliches, so yeah, hate me if you must T^T But I'll try to make it interesting! =O! Now then, about the title of this fanfic, I decided to go with "Forever With You" because basically, well, we all want Shota and Sawako to be together forever, right? =D? I know, weird reason, but just deal with it =P I decided this time to also involve Kento and Kurumi more. At first, I really wanted to use Kurumi in my first fanfic, but I didn't know how to incorprate her into it, so I dropped that idea. This time, they'll have some more important roles! (I hope…) Well, that's all for now! TripleK3 out!
