Chapter 6
"Hey Nina! Hi ayu!" Kaji and Yuta chorused as they went inside the school and saw that the dance has began.
"Care to dance?" Kaji asked Ayu. She nodded.
"How about you Nina? Wanna dance?" Yuta said smiling. She nodded and smiled.
Most of the songs were slow. Nina could see Tsujiai and Laika dancing. She was happy that she's with Yuta but she can't keep looking at them.
"Hey nina… you alright? They're dancing too. Wanna talk to him?" Yuta said
"Nah, I'd probably disturb them anyway." Nina said trying to put a smile on her face.
"You know, he really likes you. May I rephrase that… he really loves you. He just can't tell you because he didn't have the guts. Believe me nina." Yuta said
"Really? Hey, how did you know that? I know you, Kaji and Tsujiai are friends but ever since you went back to the magic kingdom you haven't talk to him right? So how did you know?" Nina asked curiously
"Well… it's in his eyes. He's been looking at us ever since we got here. I saw him you know. And you know I fixed a place for Ayu and Kaji. It's really romantic. I'm sure the two of them will be together. A happy ending for them huh… but how about you Nina? Trust me will you?" Yuta said
"Ok. Maybe I will talk to him… but can you please at least have a conversation with him? You know, let him explain what's going on with him and laika? And I want you to know that I really trust you yuta…" Nina said smiling.
Before Nina and Yuta stop dancing as to have a conversation with Tsujiai, she kissed Yuta's cheek as a thanks for always being there for her (she knows that Yuta has a girlfriend in the magic kingdom) but little did she know that Tsujiai saw her kissing yuta. So Yuta went to have a talk with Tsujiai.
"Hey guys, mind if I talk to Tsujiai for awhile?" Yuta asked
"Ok. I know what's it all about anyway." Laika replied
"Ok. Let's go to the refreshment table to talk" Tsujiai said
So they went to the refreshment table and sat. Tsujiai was confused because he didn't know why Yuta had to have a talk with him.
"So, what's up?" Tsujiai asked
"Well… I was just gonna ask you why haven't you confessed your feelings for her?" Yuta said
"What are you talkin' about? And besides what do you know?" Tsujiai said irritably
"I know everything that had happened. Are you angry at me because I'm with nina? And besides you're acting like we're not friends… what's wrong with you?" Yuta said
"Nothing's wrong with me… so, what's up with this talk anyway?" Tsujiai asked
"I already asked you! Why haven't you told her? If you do nothing, someone might steal her from you know!" Yuta said
"Oh really… and who might be that guy? You?" Tsujiai said in an angry voice.
"Whoa! Don't get me wrong. Nina isn't my girlfriend… she's just a friend. And besides, you like her and I know that I told you a few years ago that I like her but it's different now. I already have a girlfriend in the magic kingdom… I'm just doing this to make you two together… just like what I'm doing to Ayu and Kaji." Yuta explained
"Really? What did you do for them? I'm sorry if I acted this way… you must think I'm a really dumb guy huh. It's just that I really had no guts to tell her." Tsujiai said
"I understand. Anyway, I made a romantic place for them. It's near the fountain. But don't worry, I also made one for you two… so, just tell her. It might be too late if you let more years pass by. And besides, If I have to pick one guy good enough for nina… I'd definitely pick you! So, tell her okay? And make sure you explain the issue about you and laika okay?" Yuta said
"Sure… thanks again yuta! And sorry if I doubted you… Still friends? And by the way, who's your girlfriend?" Tsujiai asked calmly
"You're welcome friend! It's Tomoyo. She's the girl that nina introduced to me a few years ago. I didn't exactly expected that we'd click but we did so now she's my girlfriend… and besides, past is past. So move on okay? Tell her tonight." Yuta said
"Thanks again. You're the best! Do you think she'll listen when I start explaining the thing about me and laika?" Tsujai asked
"Don't worry. I'll tell her to listen. And besides I have to go back to the magic kingdom now. I still have a date with tomoyo." Yuta said smiling.
"Oh ok. I'll just tell her that you already left." Tsujiai said
And so with a snap of his fingers he disappeared when nobody was looking and Tsujiai was sitting there alone and taking a deep breath to talk to her.
Meanwhile, let's check what's happening with ayu and kaji…
"Ayu, are you having fun?" Kaji asked to start the conversation.
"Of course I am. I'm really glad you asked me to this dance." Ayu said
"Would you mind if we stop dancing for awhile? I've got something to tell you. It's quite important" Kaji said
"Sure. I suggest we talk outside because the music is kinda getting loud and this place is definitely not a good spot to talk seriously." Ayu suggested
So Kaji led Ayu to the place that Yuta arranged. Even he has to agree that it was really romantic and that yuta was really good at magic.
"Wow! This spot is great! Did you arranged this?" Ayu asked
"Well… I can't say I did. Yuta was the one who fixed this. Anyway, shall we sit?" Kaji said pulling a chair for ayu.
"Thanks. You're such a gentleman. So what are you gonna tell me?" Ayu ask
"Well… we've been friends for so long now and… and I know that I haven't showed much care but I'm trying real hard and I just want to say that… that I think I've already fallen' for you. I know I'm saying this too sudden but I can't think of any good time." Kaji said blushing
"Oh… I don't know what to say. You know, I really appreciate your being so caring and all even though I haven't shown the same care that you're giving me. But I just want to tell you that… that –." Ayu said unable to finish her sentence.
"It's okay, you don't have to say anything. I mean, you don't have to say that you don't love me the way I do. But, it's okay… we can still be friends." Kaji said
"Wait, what are you saying? I haven't even finished talking yet. What I really wanna say is that… that I also love you… I really do. I felt this way two years ago. But I was afraid to tell you because I had no idea who you liked most and I was afraid that you'd reject me." Ayu said having a tear in her eye.
"Really? I'm so happy…" Kaji said standing up. Ayu stood up too. Kaji got closer to ayu andwiped the tears in her eyes with his hankerchief. He hugged her and Ayu rested her head on Kaji's chest.
"I really can't believe that you love me too… I'm really happy. Don't worry, I'll take care of you. I'll love you even more. You know, something's funny. I also fell in love with you last two years ago." Kaji said still hugging ayu.
"You know, I'm also happy. I wish this isn't a dream. If it is… I don't want to wake up anymore. I love you" Ayu said crying
"This isn't a dream. And please don't cry, you won't look good anymore… just kiddin'. You always look beautiful in whatever you do." Kaji said and it made ayu blush. Ayu looked in kaji's eyes and she saw that he was really serious about this. And before she knew it, their faces were getting closer and then their lips met.
Anyway, let's see what's gonna happen with Nina and Tsujiai…
"Hi nina… I wanna talk to you if you don't mind" Tsujiai said
"Okay, I don't mind but how about Laika?" Nina said calmly
"It's okay. She knows that I'm gonna talk to you anyway. So, let's go outside." Tsuajia said
So they went outside where Yuta said that he arranged a romantic spot. But there wasn't any tables, nor chair. They were just in a middle of a circle. So, Tsujiai took a deep breath and started to speak.
"Uh, I really don't where to start explaining." Tsujiai said
"Ok. I'll just ask questions if you don't mind" Nina said and tsujiai shook his head.
"Umm… do you like laika? If you don't then why are you here with her?" Nina asked
"Okay. I really don't like her. I just asked her because she was helping me out with someone. I wanted her to help me because I really want to get closer to this girl and I was looking for a great timing to ask this certain girl out but I didn't have the guts… I know you didn't know me as a shy guy but I really get quite shy when I'm around this girl." Tsujiai explained
"Really? Anyway, are you ready to tell me who the girl is? I mean, it's okay if you don't want to… and I also want to say sorry because I shouted at you the other day. Gomen nasai!" Nina said
Suddenly, tsujiai hugged her.
"You don't have to say sorry. I understand. I'll tell you who the girl is… it's you nina. You're the girl that I've fallen in love with" Tsujiai said
Nina froze. She couldn't believe what she just heard. The guy she really liked most also liked her. Yuta was right all the time. She was happy. So happy that she can't say a thing. All she can do was look at Tsujiai and whisper to his ear the words "I love you Tsujia-kun." When tsujiai heard it, he looked at nina and hugged her so tight. He kissed her and he said to her "I love you so much nina! I love you more than my life."
When they kissed for the second time, lights lit up and suddenly flowers began to bloom.
"I'm sure yuta made this for us." Tsujiai said
"Arigatou Yuta-kun" Nina whispered.
