CHAPTER 4: Aki, you baka…

"Hi, Hideyoshi." Akihisa had reached the airport.

"Hi, Akihisa." Hideyoshi waved his hand.

"Hideyoshi, where are the others?" Akihisa looked around.

"Oh, they are having a meeting at the benches near here." Hideyoshi pointed at the direction of the benches.

Meeting at the benches? Akihisa wondered. What are they actually talking about? Summon Test War? No. Summon Test War wouldn't include Shouko at all. So what are they talking about?

"Hideyoshi, do you know what are they talking about?" Akihisa asked.

"Well, yes. But I can't tell you." Hideyoshi smiled.

This is suspicious! Definitely suspicious! Akihisa's intuition sent an alarm to him.

"You can eavesdrop on them if you want to." Hideyoshi suggested.

What is this? It is like tempting me to eavesdrop. What should I do? Akihisa thought.

"If you really want to know, just go over. It is going to be some time before Minami reaches." Hideyoshi pointed out.

"Huh? Come to think if it, it is already 4.30 in the morning. Shouldn't she be here by now?" Akihisa looked around. "Where is she?"

"Didn't you know? The fight is being delayed by the storm." Hideyoshi explained. "The storm is pretty bad you know. The weather forecast predicts that today may even have a hurricane!"

"Hurricane…" Akihisa thought. I may have a chance then... Putting that aside, I need to know what Yuuji and his little group are talking about.

"Hey, Yuuji, what are you talking about?" Akihisa approached Yuuji and his group.

"Well, that's it. We'll put the plan into action at the right moment." Yuuji stood up.

"Roger." The rest of the group stood up too.

"Roger? What plan? What were all of you talking about? I need to know!" Akihisa asked. I really do feel that there is something evil in their plan.

No reply. Akihisa was ignored.

"Hey! Don't just ignore me!" Akihisa shouted.

"Akihisa, there are some things that an idiot does not needs to know." Yuuji said, voice filled with a pinch of solemn.

"But the idiot wants to know!" Akihisa replied.

Silence.

"Why the does idiot needs to know."Kouta asked.

"Because…because…" Akihisa tried to find an answer.

"We won't tell you. But there is something that you need to know." Yuuji opened his mouth but no words came out.

"Shouko, you tell him. I can't bring myself to say it." Yuuji managed to say.

"Yoshii-kun, Shimada only has another 1 hour in Japan, including the 15 minutes she will spend on the plane waiting for the flight. You know what I mean. You have a time limit. If she runs again, you will not have a chance to see her again. You have yet to come clean with her. Or at the very least, she has yet to hear it directly from you." Shouko assisted Yuuji.

"1 hour." Akihisa repeated Shouko's words.

"Sakamoto-kun, I wonder if it is all right. It is mean, especially to Akihisa." Himeji murmured.

"Himeji-san is right! It is especially mean to keep me in the dark. I need to know about the plan!" Akihisa once again, tried to get himself involved with the plan Yuuji had.

"The plan, Sakamoto-kun. Isn't it very mean towards Akihisa?" Himeji asked.

The plan! Akihisa thought. The plan is mean! What are they going to do? Himeji Mizuki's words were not to be taken lightly.

"Just tell me! " Akihisa cried out.

"What do you want me to tell you?" It came from a familiar voice.

"Tell me the plan." Akihisa replied.

"Why would you want to know that, Aki?"

"Yuuji, the only one that I allow to call me Aki is Minami Shimada and no one else." Akihisa stressed on Minami's name.

"Aki, what have you done! Shimada, hey Shimada, snap out of it!" Yuuji's voice was heard.

Akihisa was shocked. The familiar voice, it had a much higher pitch. It was a female's voice. It was Minami's voice! Akihisa turned around then turned around to see a red-faced Minami.

"I'm the… only one… the only one…" Minami repeated over and over again.

"Hey, Minami, what's wrong?" Akihisa asked.

"Only…. one…" Minami repeated.

"Akihisa, you poor guy. With Minami in such a state, you can't even confess." Kouta laughed.

"Hey, Minami, you are the only one that can call me Aki." Akihisa repeated and he approached her.

"I'm the only one… huh? Arrgh!" Minami recovered when she saw Akihisa approaching her. By her reflexes, she grabbed Akihisa and put him into an arm lock. "Just what do you think that you are saying?" Minami twisted Akihisa's arm to hide her own embarrassment.

"No, Minami, you are breaking my arm!" Akihisa screamed.

"Poor Akihisa." Yuuji turned his back on the couple.

"He can't even confess in this state." Kouta completed Yuuji's sentence as they walked away, leaving Himeji and Shouko trying to save Akihisa from Minami's arm-breaking technique.

1hour to check in

"I can't believe it." Minami fumed as she sipped her coffee. "How could you say something that embarrassing then?" The group was at a fast food restaurant. Minami parents had allowed Minami to stay with her friends till the time they check-in.

"I'm sorry, Minami." Akihisa scratched the back of his head in embarrassment as he apologized. "It was just a slip of my tongue."

"An apology isn't enough." Minami delicately poured some pure white sugar into her coffee and then squeeze a packet of ketchup on her burger.

"What else do you want?" Akihisa asked. "My poor arm…" He whined as he remembered the amazing arm lock that he had just experienced.

"You can blame me for twisting your arm. I was a bit rash." Minami admitted her mistake and took a bite of her burger.

"Hmmm." Akihisa looked at Minami with such concentration.

"What, Aki?" Minami blushed as Akihisa looked at her with such intensity. He is approaching me! What should I do?

"Minami," Akihisa started.

"Y…yes?" Minami stuttered, her cheek showing a light shade of pink.

"Your lips." Akihisa continued.

"W…what about them?" Minami asked looking into Akihisa's light brown eyes.

"They have some stains on them" Akihisa concluded and to out his handkerchief.

Wipe. The red stain of the ketchup was gone. Minami cheeks went red.

Before Minami could even react, she heard a cough.

A very fake cough.

"Don't get so lovey-dovey in front of us." Yuuji stated. "Please remember that we are having a quick snack together."

Hideyoshi, Himeji, Kouta and Shouko nodded.

"No! I…I arrgh!" Minami ran into the restroom to hide her embarrassment.

"Minami!" Akihisa got up.

"Stop, you pervert. You can't enter the ladies." Shouko pushed him back into his seat and went after Minami.

"Akihisa-kun, you didn't have to embarrass her that much." Himeji left her seat and accompanied Shouko.

"Akihisa, this is a public area." Hideyoshi pointed out. "You may not be embarrassed but we will."

"Sorry, Hideyoshi." Akihisa laughed and scratched his cheek.

"Akihisa, you had almost put me in danger." Yuuji looked relieved.

"Danger? What danger?" Akihisa asked.

"Shouko… She said that both of you are about to kiss. I then interrupted. Shouko looked as if she was about rape me then." Yuuji shuddered at the memory.

Psst! Blood burst out of Kouta's nose as his fantasized about the sentence that Yuuji stated.

"Muttsulini. You didn't have to have such a violent reaction." Yuuji stood up and went to the gents.

10 minutes to check-in

Tick. 9 minutes and 59 seconds to Minami's flight departure. Akihisa thought as he looked at his wrist watch.

Tick. 9 minutes and 58 seconds left for me to ask Aki to tell me his feelings. I need to hear it from him. Minami tried mustered her courage but to no avail.

Silence.

It was a very weird sight for the 5 friends looking at them. A boy and a girl, facing each other but aren't saying anything. Minami had dragged Akihisa away from the group, claiming that she had something important to ask Akihisa a very important question. But both of them had been staring at each other for the past 15 minutes.

"Akihisa, just say something, you idiot!" Yuuji whispered to Akihisa, but unfortunately, Akihisa was out of earshot.

"Yuuji, I'm getting jealous." Shouko tapped Yuuji on his shoulders.

"Why so?" Yuuji asked. Shouko isn't the type of girl that gets jealous over such matters.

"Yuuji, we rarely get to be alone. May I ask why?" Shouko gave Yuuji a look filled with intense warmth.

"I'm afraid of you." Yuuji gave a very blunt reply.

"What did you say?" Shouko took out her taser.

"Wait, Shouko! I… I love you!" Yuuji screamed in terror.

"Really? I'm blushing." Shouko kept her taser and touched her cheeks.

Damn, she made me say it again… Yuuji thought. Akihisa, just how long are you going to wait?

"Shuush!" Both Hideyoshi and Himeji mentioned for Yuuji and Shouko to stay silent.

"Akihisa." Minami finally started. "I only have 7 more minutes till I check-in. I have a question. Will you miss me?"

"Huh?" Akihisa was taken aback. S…so straight forward. How am I supposed to reply her? Just how?

"Answer me." Minami repeated. "Will you… miss me?"

Gulp. Akihisa swallowed. He already had a reply. He found it hard to say it out. He found it especially hard to say it…

…when he saw a listening bug at Minami's shoulder.

"Shh." Akihisa pressed both his index and middle fingers onto Minami's lips.

Minami's blushed. Akihisa's fingers…

Akihisa then used his other hand to pull out the bug.

What did he just pull out? A… listening bug?

"Damn it." Akihisa shivered. Do they really think that I wouldn't notice them after Yuuji's scream?

Kouta and Yuuji pressed their ear pieces harder against their ears.

"Damn it." Akihisa repeated. "Just how long are you going to eavesdrop on our private conversation?" He suddenly bellowed into the bug.

"Arrgh!" Both Kouta and Yuuji plucked their ear piece out from their ears.

"Akihisa!" Yuuji raised his fist as he tried to recover. Akihisa had grabbed Minami's hand and ran for cover.

In a storage room (4 more minutes)

"We've escaped." Akihisa panted. Minami was beside him, panting too.

"Why did you even do that? Now we are in this stupid store room. I need to go for my flight." Minami reached out to open the door.

"Sure. But allow me to tell you about my feelings before you go." Akihisa told Minami.

Minami stopped in her tracks. Her hand was on the handle, ready to open the door.

"Minami. I'll miss you." Akihisa was still panting. "Why would I not. After all, I can safely say that you had read my letter that was with Noin."

Minami felt her muscles tingle.

"Do you believe my words?" Akihisa was slowly recovering.

"Yes." Minami whispered.

"Minami, I love you." Akihisa said it out and pulled Minami into an embrace.

"What are you doing?" Minami was shocked by Akihisa's bold action and she resisted, but to no avail.

"Minami, you really are a really, really charming girl." Akihisa leaned forward. "That time when you gave me your first kiss, I said you had stolen my first kiss on that day too. But no. That didn't count. I am now giving my first kiss… to you."

Minami had blushed to a point where she can't go even redder.

His lips were tightly pressed against hers.

They then closed their eyes and enjoyed the last 4 minutes they had with each other.

In the airport, waving to the plane that Minami was on board

"So… was everything done?" Hideyoshi asked.

"Yeah." Akihisa nodded.

"Did she leave you anything?" Yuuji asked.

"I don't think so." Akihisa gave a nervous laughter.

"She did." Himeji piped up.

"What?" Akihisa was alarmed.

"Here." Kouta took out a piece of paper from Akihisa's pocket.

"This," Kouta showed to the group. "Is Shimada Minami's address in Germany and it includes her phone number and email. It is addressed to 'my love, Yoshii Akihisa'."

"Minami…" Akihisa muttered. The group was looking at Akihisa who turned away from them.

"Shimada Minami... Do you really plan to embarrass me so much?"

On the plane

Tears were flowing from Minami's eyes. She couldn't stop them. She had read the letter that Akihisa had managed to secretly put into her pocket.

Let's keep in contact all right?

I've confessed to you. I've accepted your love. So, are you my girlfriend now?

I hope that you are. I hope that this relationship continues. One more thing,

Will there be a day when you become my bride when you return?

Haha, I'm may be asking too much. But I really do hope that the day will come.

Will it? Or will it not? Do I deserve to have a charming girlfriend named, Shimada Minami?

-Yoshii Akihisa

"Aki,you baka. Of course you don't deserve it. To you, I'm always a guy…" Minami's tears flowed. Her effort to contain her happiness was fruitless…

"Aki,you baka…"

-END-

NO! IT ENDED! I FEEL SO SAD! ANYWAY, I'M PLANNING TO WRITE ANOTHER STORY ABOUT MINAMI IN GERMANY AFTER SHE LEFT JAPAN. WHICH MEANS, IT WILL BE A BUILT ON OF THIS STORY! LET'S WAIT FOR IT! ALL RIGHT?
