The Winter Story

Warning to those who hate Takari's or just like Daisuke and hate to see him be sort of evil in his own way DO NOT read this. ___________________________________________________________________________

A late Hikari was running down the street to the bus stop.

"Daisuke!" Hikari yelled as she kept running.

"Daisuke! Wait!" She yelled again as she jumped on him.

She started to catch her breath. "We'll be late right?"

"I don't think so." He replied.

She stared to the side. "Hey! The bus! The bus!" She yelled.

They started pushing all the kids in.

"Push!" Once she got inside, she said, "Get on!"

The door started closing. "Wait! Mister! He needs to get on." But of course, she couldn't be heard from the amount of people stuffed on the bus.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get on.

"Go on ahead. Don't fall asleep. Okay?" "Don't fall asleep!" He yelled as the bus went out of sight.

As soon as they got to the 3rd stop, the bus was somewhat empty so she took her usual seat in the back, in the very left seat. She put down all her stuff and yawned. Her eyes began to close and she fell asleep.

~Later~

She slowly opened her eyes and found she was laying her head on another person's shoulder but she was too tired and closed her eyes again. He pushed her head away and it hit the side of the bus.

She stared at him and he looked away. Then he looked back at her. They stared at each other for a second then looked away.

She looked to the front and the bus was almost completely empty and she also looked outside and she didn't have any clue where they were.

"Stop the bus!!!!" She yelled.

The bus jerked to a stop and both of them got off. The two looked around then she stared at him with scorn. Then she looked around and said, " Oy. where in the world is this?"

"Why didn't you wake me up?!" She yelled at the other fellow, who looked about as lost as she was.

He didn't say anything and looked away.

"What grade are you in?" she asked curiously.

"Senior." He said.

"Hey, aren't you afraid of Mr. Tough?"

"I don't know if you're either really brave or really stupid." She said as she started walking away. She looked back. "Hurry up! We could share a cab." She said as she continued walking.

She turned back one last time and he too started walking.

~Later~

The cab stopped, just as another student was running to school. When they were just in front of the school gates, she turned back.

He stopped and leaned to the wall.

"What are you doing? Get a move on!"

He paid no attention and took out a cigarette. He lighted it and smoked it.

"Oh my god.." "Geez....." She said as she looked at her watch and ran in the school gates."

"Hikari Yagami!" The teacher yelled and he instructed a finger for her to get over there.

"I thought my regular "Miss tardy" hadn't shown up today." "You get over there with the rest of them and raise your hands!"

The boys were doing push up saying, " I'll never be late again." Over and over. The girls on the other hand all raised their hands and sat on their knees.

She got on her knees next to her friend Miyako.

"I was only a minute and 50 seconds late." Miyako whispered. "He's out homeroom teacher, don't you think he should cut us some slack?

"Don't you know him by now?"

"Daisuke wasn't late today. What happened to you?"

"This guy on the bus.." She started.

"You!!!!" The teacher yelled. "Do you know what time it is?"

They both turned around. "Hey! That's him!" she said.

She looked at him with scorn.

~Later~

"I deeply regret missing study session. And I'll make sure it never happens again." Ken said.

"I can't hear you!" The teacher said.

"It'll never happen again!" Ken said again.

"Louder!"

"Unexpected things happen in life, please let it go this time. When you were a student, you must have played hooky too."

"No I didn't" He said as he smacked him over the head.

There was a knock on the door and everyone turned to see who it was. The teacher hit him on the head and sent him back to his seat.

"Hello." The principal said.

~3 minutes later~

"We have a new student joining us." "Come in."

When he walked in, Miyako said, "Hey isn't that that guy from this morning?"

Hikari looked and nodded.

"He's from the infamous science school in Washington D.C."

Everybody was like "Oooooh"

"His name is."

"Takeru Takaishi, sir." He said.

"Yes, Takeru."

"Class, help him get settle in. Let's give him a round of applause."

After everybody clapped, the teacher said, "You may take that empty seat back there."

"Class president."

Daisuke stood up. "Yes, sir?"

"Make sure he has everything he needs."

"Yes sir."

~In between classes~

Hikari peeked looks at him.

"He's handsome." Yuffie said.

"Who? The new student?" Miyako asked.

"The new transfer student? Well I don't think he looks all that hot." Miyako said.

"Look at the guys in our class. There isn't one that close to him." Rena said.

"Oh yes, there is." She said as she looked toward Ken.

They all started giggling.

"I overhead some teachers talking about Takeru being a top student. He was in the national math Olympics?" Rena said.

"It's probably Olympiad" Yuffie said as she played with her hair.

"Whatever." "Anyway, I heard he came in first place. He's the cream of the crop." Rena finished.

Hikari took another glance at him.

"He's mine. Don't even glance at him." Yuffie said as she gave them all a little glare.

She stood up and walked up to him. "Hi, my name is Yuffie Tanaka. It's nice to meet you."

He didn't say anything and she walked away. All the girls started snickering.

The next to come was Daisuke. "Hi. I'm Daisuke Motomiya." "Let's try to get along." He held out his hand for a shake but Takeru ignored it.

"You have to pick an extracurricular activity."

"I'm not interested." Takeru said and walked away.

Hikari saw it and said, "Daisuke, let me talk to him." She took the book from him and ran out. She caught up to him and said, "Hey! Takeru Takaishi!"

"You shouldn't make waves on the first day. It'll be bad for you. So what do you want to do?"

"Don't you fall asleep in class?" He asked as he looked out the window.

"What?" She asked. She gave him a little glare then looked away.

"How about the science group?"

"Does a real baseball player sign up for baseball as an extra curricular activity?" He asked as he looked out the window.

"Well. in that case, I'll read what clubs there are and you tell me what you want."

"Chorus club, ping pong club, calligraphy club.."

"What club does he do?" Takeru said as he saw Daisuke walking out of the room.

"Who Daisuke?" She asked as she too looked behind her.

"Yeah."

"He's on the school radio."

"Alright, I'll do that then." He said and he walked down the stairs.

Daisuke gave her a curious glance and she gave him a confused glance too.

~Later~

They were all in the radio/music room. Daisuke and Hikari were picking out music, while Ken, Miyako, and Yuffie were all trying to get the sound to work. Takeru just sat there doing nothing.

The knocked on the glance and gave a signal asking, "Is it working?"

The two shook their heads signaling "no" to them.

They all came into the room.

"You can't hear anything?" "Is it broken?" Ken asked. "It worked yesterday." He then stared at Yuffie. "You broke it didn't you?"

"No way! I didn't do anything." She yelled.

"I think the switch is off." Miyako said as she reached to look in the back.

"No, we should just tell the teacher before we make it any worse." Daisuke said.

"No way. We're going to get it from Mr. Tough if he finds out." Yuffie said.

"We'll never come out of this alive." Ken said.

"If we tell him the truth, he'll understand." Daisuke replied.

"You can't tell him!" She said as she pushed Miyako out of the way and tried to see in the back.

"Wait." Takeru said and walked up to them and looked in the back.

"What is he doing?" Hikari asked.

He pulled out a couple wire and changed it. He got out but bumped into Yuffie, who was looking adoringly at him. "Go test it." He told Yuffie.

She nodded and tested it.

"It's working!" She tapped on the window to get Takeru's attention. "Hey Takeru! You're awesome."

He said nothing and left.

~After school~

"Hey isn't Takeru weird?" Hikari asked Daisuke. "I think he joined the radio club because of you."

"That's ridiculous, I only met him today." He replied.

"I guess you're right." She replied before looking to the side to stare at the pole.

She jumped on the pole and tried walking across it like she usually did.

"Be careful. Get down." Daisuke said.

"No, I'm going to make it to the end of the pole today."

"You won't get ten steps."

"You watch." She said as she took two more steps but wobbled.

"Be careful. Take my hand." He said as he gave him her hand.

"No. You're not my boyfriend. Why should I take your hand?" "Only that one special person will ever hold my hand."

She continued walking and after she reached 10, she jumped off. "See.." She said and giggled. He just gave her a smile and followed her.
