Chapter 6
“Mako-chan!”
Makoto turn around
abruptly upon hearing her name. She smiles when she saw Kisho-senpai, a senior
who works at the nearby Ruby Cake Shop. She had been eyeing this senpai since
that fateful day when she walked into the shop to buy her baking ingredients.
She had grabbed all her items and dumped them at the cashier, only to realise
that she had forgotten her purse. Growing red all over her face, she mumbled an
apology to the frowning lady and turn to go quickly, too quickly in fact. She
was knocked off balance by a young man holding a large tray of cookies which,
after being knocked were now flying all over the shop. Both Makoto and the
young man fell to the ground.
“Ouchh.. that
hurts..”
“Oh no….ouch! I’m so
sorry.. I..” Makoto sits up quickly and kept mumbling apologies while massaging
her back, which feels sore all over.
“Hehe.. It’s alright.
I suppose I did not see where I’m walking to as well.. This tray of cookies had
blocked my view” Makoto’s victim laugh while standing up brushing off the dust.
“Come, let me help you up.”
Upon hearing the
voice, Makoto looked up and melted instantly. Staring at her was a young man,
immensely good-looking with blonde hair and shinning hazel eyes. She saw he had
extended his hand to help her up and accepted it shyly. Blushing hard, she
mumbled ‘Sorry’ again.
“Don’t worry about
it. Are you hurt? Do you want me to grab you a chair? Or a tea?” he sounded
worried as he noticed that Makoto had grew so red. He thought that she was hurt
and in pain.
Makoto shook her
head, a little too much as a ‘crack..’ sounded. She winced in pain as she
grabbed her neck, blushing even harder. The young shopkeeper stared at her with
big round eyes. All of sudden, he laughed. He laugh so hard that he had a
stitch at his stomach and had to stop, trying to stop laughing was hard though.
Makoto just stared at him and suddenly the laughter catches her and she laugh
along.
When both had
subsided, Makoto looked carefully at him. He
is definitely cute. He’s so nice as well. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?
“So, my name is Uruki
Kisho. I had just finished my high school and now working as part-timer here,”
he introduced himself while extending a hand to Makoto.
Makoto smiled and
grab his hand. “Um.. my name is Kino Makoto. So you went to the same high
school? Can I call you Kisho-senpai then?”
Kisho had nodded and
smile wider. “Nice to meet you, Mako-chan. You don’t mind me calling you
Mako-chan?”
Makoto could have
melted there. She shook her head and giggled a little. Eversince that day,
Makoto had been a regular at that shop and both became friends fast. She make
sure she had her purse with her every time.
Watching Kisho-senpai
walking towards her, Makoto heart melts instantly and she tried to glance at
the shop window to check her reflection.
“Senpai! What are you
doing here?”
Kisho smiles and
reply “I had just finished my errand for my mom. What are you doing then? I
thought you should be having a revision session with you friends at this time?”
I
couldn’t let him know about Usagi. What can I tell him? I really should
continue my search, but I had not been seeing Kisho-senpai for two days. Makoto struggles inside her head.
At last, she decided that Usagi needed her more now. “Senpai, I’m sorry I had
to rush off now. There’s something very important I needed to do.” Giving Kisho
an apologetic smile, she turns and rushes off the opposite direction. I know I’m doing the right thing. Usagi is
in danger. I can’t be so selfish.
Kisho stared at
Makoto blurring figure as she speed off. “Why did I get this unpleasant
feeling?” He frowned.
Makoto continue to
search for something suspicious around the area. Suddenly, she heard her
Whisperer ringing. It was Ami.
“Mako-chan, Luna just
brought some news back.” Ami told her everything and Makoto frowns.
“How can that be?
It’s so impossible..” Makoto stares absent-mindedly at the sky. It’s getting
dark. Sun will set soon. “Anyway, I couldn’t seem to find anything here but I
will continue to search. Keep me update will you?”
After Ami promised,
Makoto continue to be alert but not knowing what she should be alert of is
hard. Her mind suddenly drifted back to Kisho. I wonder what is he doing?
Suddenly a loud bang
occurred behind her. She turned quickly and saw smokes coming out from behind
the street. The street she had just left. The street where Kisho is. Makoto
quickly run back to the street to find that it was in a chaotic state. The loud
bang seem to come from a nearby dustbin, throwing everything nearby into the
shops window, scaring everyone. However, no one was hurt although everyone was
shouting loudly about the accidents. Makoto found Kisho opposite her and rush
to him.
“Kisho-senpai! Are you
alright?”
Kisho was shocked to
see Makoto, who had flung herself at him, hugging him tightly. “Mako-chan.. Why
are you here? I thought you had something important to do?”
Makoto released him
and blushed. But before she had time to reply, another loud bang occurred next
to them, throwing them about 3 feet away. Kisho had grabbed Makoto to avoid her
being hurt by the flying pieces. They rolled on the ground together, Makoto well
protected by Kisho.
Before any of them
could say anything, another loud bang was heard again, this time opposite the
road. Everyone started to flee the streets. Before long, the only people left
around were Makoto and Kisho.
“Senpai.. are you
alright? How can you used your body to protect me? Are you hurt?” Makoto said sitting
up and frantically checking his hands and arms.
“Senpai?”
No answer.
Kisho had
fainted.
