Chapter Two: When two Worlds Collide
It was a busy afternoon for the student council as the day for the Spring festival came closer to date. Members of the council ran back and forth from the room, doing random jobs for the president.
"What's the news from the Lit. Club? Did they release the flyers for the Spring festival like I asked them too?" Saika said reading through the planning list. "Ah! I just heard from them." A dorky second year boy spoke. "Rima-sempai said they just needed to copy the flyers and it should be out by tomorrow morning and here's your tea sempai." "Ah, arigatou Sato-san." Saika said with a sigh.
He took a sip from the cup and looked up at Sato.
"Lavender tea?" Saika asked as the boy nodded. "Hai, my mother told me Lavender tea helps calm the nerves and helps reduce stress." Sato said. "Since sempai has been stressed out over the festival I thought it'd be nice if the tea will help you relax a bit." "Ah..gomen ne." Saika said. "I didn't mean to worry you all." "It's quiet alright Kitsune-sachou." A short first year girl replied with a smile. "But then again you should really take a break Saika." Otoya said. "You've been working nonstop and I'm worried that you might collaspe soon or later." "Saa...I suppose I'll go home early today and get some rest if it'll making you all stop worrying about me." Saika said as his fellow council members nodded their heads. "I'll tell Riku you went home." Otoya said. "He has pratice today again as well." "Hai, arigatou Otoya." Saika said. "I'm going to trust you to take care of everything here then." "Hai. It'll be done by tomorrow morning." Otoya said.
Saika smiled and packed up his things. The members said goodbye as he walked out of the room and down the hall. It wasn't long before he got outside and felt the cool breeze of the spring time blow across his face. Walking down the path pass the sports area, Saika was more intrested in his book then he was with his surroundings, thus causing an accident.
"ABUNAI!" A voice shouted. "Huh?" Saika said.
The voice snapped him out of his book as he turned his head just to get hit with a small neon green color ball. Saika fell back onto his butt and rubbed his chest.
"Itai..." Saika said hurting. "Ah! Gomenasai!"
He looked up to see a girl with shoulder length, raven black hair and emerald green eyes staring down at him with worry. Saika noticed that she was dressed in their schools tennis uniform for the girls team.
"Daijyobu desu ka?" She asked. "Iie.." Saika said as he got to his feet. "Kasumi-buchou!" A different voice shouted.
A girl with long pink hair and bright blue eyes joined them.
"Ah, Kitsune-sachou." "I didn't know you were part of the tennis team Keiko-san." Saika said. "I just joined last year." Keiko said with a smile. "Sachou?.." Kasumi asked thinking a bit. "Shimatta.."
Saika blinked and stared at the captian of the girls tennis team as she cursed.
"I knew I recognized you from somewhere." Kasumi said. "Your the student councils president." "As a matter of fact I am." Saika said. "Again, I'm sorry for hitting you with the tennis ball." Kasumi said again. "Ah, it's okay." Saika said. "I should've been paying more attetion to my suroundings." "You really should." Kasumi said. "If I didn't hit you with the ball you would've ran into that tree over there."
Again Saika blinked as he followed her finger as she pointed to the sakura tree and knew she was right.
"Anyways, I have to get back to pratice." Kasumi said. "Ja ne Kitsune-sachou."
Before Saika could say anything, Kasumi ran off back towards the court with Keiko. He watched as she instruced two girls to run what it seem to be twenty laps around the school. Just then he remember he was suppose to go home and started walking towards the school gates. It was early the next morning when Kasumi had arrived at school for morning pratice. Yawning and carrying her tennis bag, she bumped into someone and blinked.
"Ah, Miyu-chan." Kasumi said with a smile. "Kasumi-chan, ohayou gozaimasu." Miyuki said returning the smile. "Is everything alright?" Kasumi asked. "You usually don't come see me this early unless something's wrong." "..." "What happened?" Kasumi asked giving her friend a stern look. "I moved in with my aunt." Miyuki said quietly. "Oh..that's good then." Kasumi replied. "Hai, it is.." Miyuki said with a faint smile. "But my father is thinking of putting my mother in the psyc ward at the hospital." "That's good then. She won't be able to hurt you anymore." Kasumi said.
Miyuki just nodded her head and bid her friend goodbye before leaving. Kasumi sighed and made her way to the tennis courts. She had known Miyuki since middle school and was the only one that understood her the best. After morning pratice, Kasumi went to class all worn out and ended up falling asleep in her morning classes.
"Koyomia Kasumi! Wake up NOW!" Her teacher shouted angrily.
Kasumi had fallen asleep again and it was already her thrid morning class. Saika blinked as he heard his teacher say the name 'Kasumi' and turned to look in the back of the class to see the sleeping girl.
"...she's in my class?" Saika thought to himself.
He started at her a bit more and relized the reason why he never noticed her before was because of her hair. Kasumi snapped her head up as the teacher dropped a stack of books on her table.
"I'M UP!" Kasumi shouted loudly with a red mark on her forehead caused by her notebook.
The class laughed as Kasumi rubbed her forehead and sat down to pay attetion in class. Morning classes ended, then lunch and then arternoon classes. Kasumi had arrived to the girl locker room and pulled off her school uniform to put her tennis uniform on before making her way to the courts. When she got there the same two girls who were aruging yesterday were doing it again, causing Kasumi to get angry.
"What the HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Kasumi shouted angrily.
The people who were praticing stopped and the two girls who were aruging stopped as well when they saw Kasumi at the gate with a pissed off look.
"Apperently, everything I said to you two yesterday went in one ear and out the damn other." Kasumi said glaring at them as she walked towards them. "The District Tournament is coming up in four months and I'm not going to put up with this crap!" "She was the one who started it!" The girl with the long green hair said. "Me? That was you, you damn show off!" The red hair girl snapped back. "I don't CARE WHO STARTED IT!" Kasumi shouted. "I put you two together because of your strengthen and weakness. If you do NOT pull your act together and start working as partners I will bench you for the rest of the season!"
Saika was staring out the window of the student council room to look down at the tennis courts when he heard Kasumi yelling at her team.
"Hou..they must have done something to piss them off." Saika said.
Otoya walked over to Saika and noticed the tennis ball on his table.
"Saika, where did you get that?" Otoya asked. "Ah, I was hit with it yesterday by accident." Saika said. "I'm going to return it later after the meeting. "Well, the meeting is about to start." Otoya said. "Ah, what about the flyers?" Saika asked as the two of them walked towards a seperate room. "They've been posted up so the entire school knows and the teachers have decided to allow the students to pick a theme they want to do so everything is going as planned." Otoya said looking at his note book. "Good." Saika said.
The room got quiet as Saika entered with Otoya. The two sat and the meeting began. It was an hour later when everyone was dismissed from the room. Saika and Otoya went back into the other room to get their things.
"I'll meet you at the gate with Satsuki and Riku." Otoya said.
Saika nodded as Otoya left the room with his things. After putting his bag over his shoulder, he picked up the tennis ball and made his way down to the courts. When he arrived, most of the tennis team was gone and the only one left was Kasumi who was praticing her serve. Saika took a seat on the bleacher and watched her every move. He found it hard to stop and look away. Just then Kasumi did one last serve and suddenly dropped her racket. It clattered to the ground and Saika quickly got up from where he sat and ran over to her.
"Are you hurt?" Saika asked as he noticed Kasumi holding her left arm. "I'm fine." Kasumi said manging to smile as she rubbed her arm a bit before letting go. "You sure?" Saika asked. "Hai." Kasumi said. "Just overworked my arm." "Ah.." Saika said. "What brings you here?" Kasumi asked after relizing that he was there the whole time. "Oh! I came to return the tennis ball you hit me with yesterday." Saika said holding out the ball. "You left before I could give it to you." "Ah..arigatou Kitsune-san." Kasumi said taking it. "Ano..do you always tie your hair?" Saika asked suddenly. "I mean, I never knew you were in my class becasue your hair was always down so I just took you as a different girl." "Only when I have pratice." Kasumi said bending down to pick up her racket. "Other then that, my hair is always down." "I see." Saika said. "You should go." Kasumi said. "Huh?" Saika said. "Your friends are waiting for you right?" Kasumi asked with a soft laugh. "You must not keep them waiting." "Ah! That's right." Saika said running towards the stairs before turning back around. "I forgot." "I'll see you tomorrow Kitsune-san." Kasumi said with a smile. "Saika is fine." Saika said. "Ah, then you can just call me Kasumi." Kasumi replied.
She gave him a smile which he returned and then she watched him run off. Sighing she packed up her things, changed and made her way home with a small smile on her lip.
