-Yuki-
Once awake I shoot up but flinch from the pain in my shoulder.
( Damn did we win?! )
I look around to see Kirito sleeping upright in a chair next to my bed. I am engulfed by his calm and relaxed look as he sleeps, his face looks so sweet.
( I wonder how long he's been by my side, he's probably uncomfortable in that position maybe I should wake him up. )
I begin to reach my hand out towards him to wake him up and his eyes flutter open, I quickly retract my hand and look away a bit flustered.
" You should be lying down your wound is pretty deep. "
I shake my head and look up at him as he stands up to stretch.
" I'm ok did we win?! "
he smirks and ruffles my hair.
" Well of course we did dummy. "
I look down to see his bandaged right hand and felt utterly ashamed.
" Kirito is your hand ok?! "
He looks down to where my gaze was and lifts his hand up.
" What this? This is nothing compared to what your feeling. Now get some rest I'm going back to my room to get some sleep. "
He says as he begins to walk out, I call out to him before he leaves.
" Wait! T-thank you for staying with me! "
he gives me a thumbs up and walks out without saying another word leaving me feeling a bit uneasy.
( why do I feel as if something is wrong? )
A few more days of the tournament goes by and the room we shared was filled with the laughter of the boys as I watched the battles continue taking mental notes of the different people and their magic abilities and such. Kirito was oddly social with Suzaku for the past couple of days and we didn't talk much. The awkward atmosphere drove me away and I decided to take a walk to catch my breath. and thought about how the tournament was nearly over and the final contestants were scheduled for the finals in a couple of weeks. For now, everyone was told to rest up, the school was let out until the tournaments are officially over and we were all unsure of what to do or how to spend this time.
( Maybe I should go visit mother to see how she's doing? It's only a few-hour trip from here. Yeah, I think that's what I'll do! )
Satisfied with my plan I look up at the beautiful sunset fading in the sky and decide to return to the stands with Kirito and the others.
-Kirito-
I scan the room to see where Yuki had gone but see no trace of her, Suzaku picks on Shun in the meanwhile.
" Shun my bro you have got to lighten up your so...serious! "
Shun doesn't hold back his furry.
" No President your just too childish. "
he speaks in a nonchalant tone and Suzaku holds a fist up in scowled.
" Why you! I'll show you Mr boring not so cool guy!"
Shun sighs.
" Your remarks are even childish, are you this doomed already? "
I couldn't help but laugh at them which in turn makes Suzaku even more angered. He takes a pillow off of the couch and throws it at me but I easily dodge it expecting it to hit the floor I instead hear an ouff sound from behind me. I turn around to see Mrs. Natsumi and Yuki. Mrs. Natsumi was holding the pillow looking rather annoyed while Yuki looked at us with worry in her eyes. Suzaku instantly goes up to her and began to plead his sorry.
" So sorry teacher! We were just goofing off haha yeah won't happen again!! "
he tries to play with his fingers coiling. Mrs. Natsumi smirks and wacks Suzaku with the pillow and he falls on his butt looking up at her in a sorry state.
" Ok, you runts now that the match is at an end you guys are given some free time but I must ask you each to take a partner with you if you decide to leave school grounds. I say this because even though it doesn't feel like it right now our country is still at war! "
we all look at each other knowing too well how right she was.
( Well, she does have a point. )
" Also you kids still have to go to that summoning with the Headmaster to meet with the President so be at the train station 3 hours beforehand. "
we all nod in unison and she smiles looking satisfied before taking her leave leaving us to our mess.
