News, cigarettes and gays?

"Listen up!" The teacher smacked the pointer across the board, bringING the group of rowdy boys to attention. Exasperation and tension filled the room, as their Sunday had been forfeited for this emergency meeting. Each of the boys found their seat as the teacher began to speak. Umeda sighed as he took out his handkerchief from his pocket and placed it on his desk. Brushing his reddish hair out of the way, he removed his glasses from his face. What a waste of time. He had heard the "news" last night when his family had had over their closet friends. Their daughter attended Saint Blossom, and she told Umeda herself what had happened. Mizuki said that some silly girls were trying to make a love potion that Kayashima had shown them, and started a fucking fire instead. He slowly began to wipe the lenses clean as he thought about how ridiculous girls were. Really how idiotic could you be. That stupid mistake is what prompted this meeting, the news being that Osaka would host the Saint Blossom girls in their hour of need. In short, until further notice classes here at Osaka High would be CO-ed.

He had to admit he was a bit shocked as well when Mizuki spoke of it last night after dinner. He remembered her face as she said the words. A deep blush tinged her otherwise pale cheeks, as she mumbled something about being with Sano everyday. As soon as she spoke his name he found himself growing tired of the conversation. He had been her friend for awhile now, since they were around Twelve years of age. Although, their bond was forged ten years before that. Their parents had always been close, and he had grownup with her always by his side. However; it wasn't till that day in Summer when he realized how fond of her he was. It was odd, even for him, to show such a liking towards her. He always detested girls, he blamed his older sister for that, but for some reason Mizuki Ashiya was different.

Placing his glasses back on his nose he stole a glance at Sano Izumi. He was an attractive guy, athletic and well built. Umeda even had a mild "crush" on him the beginning of freshman year as well, not that he said anything. Though Mizuki's feelings ran back to junior high. It wasn't like they were officially dating, but they talked and both families had spent a far amount of time making future plans for the union. One time he even over heard the talk of grandchildren. Though Sano was like one of those typical Japanese boys from one of those god damn stupid mangas. Always waiting, never saying things clearly, always leaving wonder in Mizuki mind about his true feelings. And who had to pay for all of Sano's actions, him, he was the one who had to comfort her, hold her when she cried, and he was the one that had to give her a pep talk that would bring back her clueless smile. He was sick of it. So last night instead of dealing with the latest Sano disappointment, he changed the subject and they enjoyed tea under the moonlight, while talking of books, and movies.

The shuffle of feet awoke him from his day dream, to find the guys gathered around his desk. Naturally Nakastu was the first to speak, once again almost yelling instead of talking.

"Did you hear that! Girls, here!"

Umeda shrugged as he leaned back in his chair." I heard about last night." He paused on purpose, shifting his eyes toward Sano. "From Ashiya…."

He watched as his words hit Sano, waiting for a reaction. Though, nothing of grandeur happened a simple cough and a look away. Then again, in Sano's world, this was a huge reaction. Umeda smiled to himself as the boys noisily discussed who had dibs on who. Then sudden silence, he turned to find all eyes on him. Someone had asked a question directed towards him. He pieced the few words he heard and then filled in the rest with a hunch.

"Those girls aren't my type" He said while standing to his feet.

"Oy." Chayamachi exclaimed trying to change the subject. "Lets go and eat!"

The guy suddenly forgot all about girls and Umeda as the thought of food overtook them. Umeda walked with them towards the cafeteria, while watching Sano closely. He realized he was annoyed, though he didn't know why. He felt the urge to just kick Sano's head in. Just then the man of his thoughts caught his eye, and Umeda found the urge grow within him.

"Is there a problem." Sano asked in his low voice.

Umeda just smirked while pushing his hair back from his forehead. " you."

"Well then maybe we should settle this, just you and me." Sano's reply echoed of the empty walls of the school. The group had moved on so wrapped up in their hunger, they didn't notice two were missing.

Umeda pushed his glasses back with his finger and cocked his head to the side. "Maybe we should, however…" Umeda walked up to him , and slowly brought his mouth within centimeters of Sano's. " I'd hate to mess up that pretty face of yours."

Sano grabbed Umedas shirt, holding him where he was. "What's your deal?"

Umeda growing bored of this already, laughed as he removed Sanos hand with ease. "Whatever, just don't jerk around Mizuki, ….I'M the one that has to stay up all night with her." Umeda began to walk off in the direction of the cafeteria when he heard Sano mumble, all night. A new urge swelled within him and he couldn't resist to push the new gleaming button. He turned back towards Sano and displayed one of his most wicked smile, "Yes….. all night." Sano's face said it all, Umeda had won the battle. He turned and walked away leaving a bewildered Sano in an empty hall.

Mizuki sat on a stool in front of her vanity, checking over her appearance for the millionth time. She checked her hair, the light makeup she put on, and then she stood checking over her uniform. She had to be perfect. Sighing she grabbed her school bag and made her way down stairs. There he sat at her kitchen table talking to her father about his plans for the future. She noticed his hair first, as always, its color always struck her as beautiful. She smiled as she knew him well enough to read his body language. He was tired, he must have been up late studying again or something else. Though she hated to think of what that something else was. Just then he turned to her and his eyes took her breath away, they always had. She bowed and raised to greet him with a smile. His left corner of his mouth tilted upward ever so slightly. This was Umeda smiling.

"Good Morning!" She sang as she took her seat across from her friend.

"Your happy." Umeda grunted as he sipped at the cup of coffee her mother had given him.

"You Bet!" She held out a thumbs up. "Today is the best day for…" She stopped unsure on how to finish her sentence.

"Idiot…." He rose to his feet and bowed toward her parents. "Thank you so much, but we better leave now if we are to make it on time." He turned to her, and gestured towards the door. "Come on.."

Mizuki nodded and grabbed her school bag following him with a skip in her step. They passed her brother in the hall and she stopped to say goodbye. Shuizki paused and patted Mizuki on her head. He then turned towards the door and stopped in utter horror.

"YOU!"

"Good morning…. Shushu…" Umeda batted his eyelashes and made a smack with his lips.

"HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME SHUSHU!"

"Whatever." He paused for dramatic effect. "Shushu."

Shuizki erupted in anger and started charging toward Umeda, before Mizuki stepped in his way. "We were just leaving, we'll be late." She spoke while Shuizki growled at Umeda with hatred from over his sisters head.

"Bye Shushu." Umeda sang, while winking.

Mizuki shut the door on her brother before the fight could escalate. "Why do you have to tease him."

"WHY… does he always look and point at me like I am a leper." He retorted with a huff. He reached in to his shirt pocket and removed a cigarette. "Besides he always starts it." Placing the thin roll in between his lips, his hands patted his pockets, searching for his lighter. "damn it."

Mizuki rolled her eyes and pulled the cigarette from his mouth. She let the roll fall to the ground and then stamped her foot on it. "He isn't used to …. Gays. And you promised you'd quit."

"Whatever and I lied." He didn't bother pulling out a new one, as he knew Mizuki would never give up. "You should be thankful, I walked all the way here from school, just to walk back to school." They turned a corner and he naturally took the outside of the sidewalk, blocking her from the harms of the street. "And may I remind you I have to walk you home as well."

"You are so kind, but you still can't smoke."

"I am smoking on the way home…. And just for that I am cutting homeroom and smoking then too." He took her bag from her and placed it under his left arm, allowing her to loop her arm around his right. "And I might even cut gym…just to smoke again…"

She simply smiled squeezing his arm while they walked. "I get it…."

"I could even smoke on lunches and breaks…. The possibilities are endless." He just felt like complaining.

She closed her eyes and laid her head on his shoulder. "Yes, Umeda, they are."

He looked down at her and smiled. "Idiot"

"shut up…"
