• The Fateful Couple

    "Ugh...that's the alarm Clo...yawn!" Itsuki rolled over and slapped the digital alarm clock. "Another worthless day starts again." Itsuki stood up and pulled on his clothes, one at a time, and pulled on his book bag. He walked downstairs and opened the door, and shouted back, "I'm leaving for school." and then walked outside. As he started off for school, someone tripped behind him. "Are you OK? You smacked it off the pavement pretty hard..." He helped the girl up and gave her glasses to her. She had short brown hair and very cute eyes. "Here, let me get your books..." He turned to pick them up. The girl looked at him and said "Thank you. My name's Yue. Yue Shiyo." Itsuki gave her books back to her and said "Yue, huh?My name's Itsuki. Itsuki Yuuichi. You sure have A Lot of books Yue... Are they all yours?" Yue looked to him and sighed, "No, sadly, they belong to the library. I wish they were all mine though. I love to read." Itsuki glanced at his watch, "Uh oh...I might be late for school... Where do you go to school Yue?" Yue pulled out a piece of paper, looked it over and said, "Mochinoki High School?" Itsuki Gasped, grabbed her hand, and said, "Well then, we should get going! We're Gonna be late!" Together they ran toward the school.

    LATER ON DURING CLASS...
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The teacher Walked into the room. "All Rise! All Bow!" One of the students said. The class did as they were told. Mr. Baku started class off with an announcement, "Good morning class. Today we have a new student, Miss...Please write your name on the board and introduce yourself." Itsuki gasped and nearly dropped his pencil. "H...hello everyone my name is Y...yue...Yue Shiyo. I love to read and just moved here. I hope I can be your friend. Thank you." She bowed and looked to the teacher. "Miss. Shiyo, you can sit down next to Itsuki-San." Itsuki Raised his hand, and motioned to the desk next to him. Yue settled in next to him and class started.

    AFTER SCHOOL THAT DAY...
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Itsuki and Yue walked out of the school, Itsuki with his hands behind his head. "So, Yue, where do you live, you must live close to me...I mean you caught up with me this morning." Yue looked at him and said, "yea, I live right next door. Didn't you notice the house next to you was up for sale?" Itsuki grinned sheepishly. "yea, I knew, but I didn't know that you were the one who bought it." When they reached their block, Itsuki asked "Hey, um...did you understand the math lesson today?" Yue grinned and said, "Yea, I got it, didn't you?" Itsuki Blushed and said, "well yea, I was just wondering because you just transferred and..." Yue giggled. "You just wanted a reason to come over...FRESH!" Itsuki scratched the tip of his nose. "Was it that obvious?" It was Yue's turn to blush now. "Well, when you read as many Romance novels as me, you kind of learn what to look for." They both stood there for a while, not knowing what to say. Finally, Itsuki's mom broke the moment. "ITSUKI! WHO IS THIIIIIIIIIIS? She's sooooo cute!" Itsuki's face got as red as a tomato. "OKAY MOM! TIME TO GO!" Itsuki pushed his mom back inside the house before returning to where Yue was standing. Still beet red, he looked at Yue with pleading eyes, saying excuse her actions. Yue giggled and said, "Well, I'd better get going..." Itsuki grabbed her arm as she turned away, then released it quickly. "Uhhhh...sorry about that...I just had to ask you, would you like to take a walk with me around Mochinoki Park?" Yue smiled at him. "Of Course, let me just put my bag away." She walked over to her house, opened the door and threw her bag in the building. She came back to where Itsuki was standing. "shall we?" Itsuki smiled and said "We shall." As the two were walking through the park, they grew closer and closer to each other. When they came to the lake in the middle of the park, Itsuki explained the myth to the lake. "You see, If you come to this beach with a girl you just met, she'll supposedly fall in love with you." Itsuki scratched the tip of his nose again. "I was kinda hoping that it would work for me too..." Yue smiled at him, then sat down on the beach. "you know, you're probably the most amazing person I have ever met." Itsuki sat down next to her. "Well then, I have one question. Will you go out with me?" Yue sat silently for a couple of minutes, then rested her head on Itsuki's shoulder. "Of course I will. As I said, You're the most amazing person I've ever met." Itsuki looked down at the sand and drew a heart in the sand. Inside he put their initials. Then itsuki brushed his fingers through Yue's hair, lulling her to sleep. Together they watched the sunset. Itsuki layed his back on the sand, and Yue's head rested on his chest, listening to his heart beating, beating for her. Itsuki said, "I love you Yue." Yue smiled and fell asleep on his chest, lulled by the sound of his beating heart.
