The Reason for the "Language of Flowers"
- Second Half -
"Akina!!! Are you alright?!"
In order to return the horse back to -chan, Atobe-Senpai and I returned together pulling along "Gen-chan".
"Yes..."
"I'm glad you're Ok... Atobe, you haven't done anything to my little sister have you?!"
"Ah-n? What are you on about?"
Hahahaha...I have a feeling the 'little sister' part was overly emphasised... Pulling Atobe-Senpai away from me, -chan stood in between the two of us glaring up at Atobe-Senpai, quite obviously with a threatening look.
"Fu. Then, my business is over. See you." Atobe turned to leave
"Oh, wait a sec."
Just as Senpai stated his leave, -chan called Atobe-Senpai and stopped him in his tracks, she was in an unusual, frank manner.
"I brought the thing, the one you asked for..."
"Ah-n? Oh right, thanks for that."
"Are you, being serious? If you ever do anything to ...
"Its got nothing to do with you. Its between Ore-sama and ."
An incomprehensible conversation was occuring in between the pair. ......My name came out......
"Then, I'll give it to her......"
"Sure."
Once again setting out to walk, Senpai's sillouette continued to become smaller and smaller.
"Um, -chan...what on earth...???"
"Hn? Oh-..."
At last Atobe-Senpai disappeared from sight, and only the two of us was left. Taking my chance I asked the meaning of the previous conversation; I did want to know why my name was brought out...
"That was just something small...firstly come this way. I've got something to give you......"
Taking "Gen-chan" from me, a little worried, she happily led him her way: to the schools's Horse Riding club stables.
---
So we are currently now in the horse stables of the school. (Seriously, is there such junior high......... By Rou <-The one writing this)
"Well, how would I put this? A little while back I met the members of your club at the shopping centre district by chance." Coming out of the horse stall labelled "Genichiroh", -chan started to explain what I had asked her jus a while back outside. .........This person, is being serious......... Without thinking in my mind I couldn't help but to comment once again on the name of the horse and her type.
Avoiding the topic, -chan continued. "I was found when I was looking for your birthday present, and they seemed as if they were interested, so I told them about today. Then the next day, I don't know when it was all decided, but from the seat next to me, Mukahi started discussing about having a party together..."
"I see...so that's how the turn of events..."
"Yep yep. And, from here is the important point. The day before yesterday I got called out by Atobe, and due to his request I helped him out a tad."
"Yep. ...? ...! What-?! "
A scene where two people who hate each other's guts got together and discussed...... An awkward scene...
"A discussion about the present. Honestly, I never thought Atobe himself would come to me... Well, it is true that I'm the one who knows the best...however, I was asked a few...tips as to say... You know, my recently started hobby don't you?"
"......Something about the Language of Flowers......?"
"Bingo!"
Remembering back to the event which happened that day, -chan recited to me.
----
"What is it? Isn't it rare, that you would come personally to tell me what you want?" *Smiles*
"Yes that is probably true. Normally I would use or Mukahi but...today, there will be no meaning if I don't ask myself..."
"What do you mean by 'use'...ah well. So? I have time I don't want to waste too. Hurry up and say what you want from me."
"Gosh...you're really - ...fine. I'll say it straight forward. I've heard from that you've gotten yourself a new hobby, and I wanted you to help me out a little bit along those lines."
"...My hobby being known by you is somewhat slightly freaky..."
Atobe decided to ignore that remark. "August...in other words I want to know about 's Birthday."
"(Fine ignore me...) .........For what reason...?"
"...Hey. You aren't asking me just because you know are you, ah-n?" Vexed over the obvious reason, Atobe's showed his agitation.
"Fine fine... Well, its for the sake of my precious I guess I can spare a few info...what's your will?"
"Birthstone and birthflower."
"My speciality is flowers...ah well, at least I looked it up for my own present... The birthstone for August is peridot. This I don't need to explain if it's you right?"
"Yeah."
"Then the flowers of August are the Dutchman's Pipe, the Moroccan Sea Holly and the Balloonflower. But you know, this is if you're really serious, my recommendation is the Balloonflower."
"...the meaning?"
----
" [ Gentle Love ] "
"What?" I was confused by what -chan was saying.
"The meaning for the Balloonflower. You were told right? What that flower is." Saying so she pointed at the pendant I had previously received from Atobe-Senpai. Picking it up gently in between my fingers I fingered the familiar shape of the five-petal Japanese traditional flower.
"Looks like he really was serious..." Stating the fact, satisfied, she passed me a bunch of red Tulips with a caring smile. The smile turned into a cheeky, teasing smile.
"Red Tulips is [ Confession of Love ]...the other present from Atobe I promised to give to you on behalf of him."
Taking the bunch of flowers slowly, all of the sudden my face heated up. A hand placed on my head, as I looked up again to serious face of -chan.
"Go: he should be in the club room. Your answer, it's already decided, isn't it?"
Showing eyes with a look of determination, I nodded. -chan's smile grew wider at my decision and I turn towards the exit; running with short strides.
"Oh, ."
Just before I stepped out of the stables I was called back. Turning my head slightly just to hear what she had last to say, -chan once again near her new beloved horse finished her part of the job.
"I forgot to tell you, but for Balloonflowers and Tulips, the each of them, have another meaning ----"
---
"Atobe-Senpai!!!"
Rushing into the club room, I look for Senpai and found him staring blankly inside the club room sitting on a bench as I walked towards him.
"..."
Seeing my form nearing him, he stood up.
"Senpai, I..."
The moment I try to give my answer to the flowers I was given, I was stopped. Beautiful fingers pressing my lips together, hushing me.
"...You don't have to say...anything..."
I nod slowly in response; no more was needed to be said.
Tenderly the outline of my lips was traced by the same slender fingers which had closed them.
Chin slowly tipped up, we gaze into each other's eyes.
My hazel eyes, and his sapphire ones...
Smirking like his usual self, Senpai's face came closer.
Smirk turned into a tender, loving look.
"......"
Embarrased, I close my eyes.
At that same moment, a warm sensation came in contact with my lips.
A tender kiss which only touches.
My second kiss, this day.
---- Balloonflowers and Tulips, have another
meaning ----
---- [ Unchanging Love ] ----
And
---- [ Eternal Love ] ----
- Addition -
About the next day:
"Hey-----!!!! You bastard----!!!!!!!!" *Pissed*
Continuing from yesterday I heard the same familliar voice yell angrily.
: "-chan?!"
:"In spite of yesterday!! Give me back my
horse---!!!!!!!" *Pissed*
Atobe: "Hey, ."
: "Ah, Senpai......" (Blushes)
Inside my mind yesterday's incidence repeated itself.
Atobe: "Here, give me your hand! We're getting out of here!!"
: "What, but the horse, -chan's......"
Atobe: "We can just apologise later right?"
: "........."
[Rou:]"I caught up with you!! Hey-, Atobe!!!
"
Atobe: "Dam it!"
: "Kya?!"
Suddenly pulled by Senpai, I end up being help on the horse the same way as yesterday.
: "Give back...What the?! What are you doing
to ?! "
Atobe: "Your horse! I'm borrowing it!!!!!! "
: "What?! Wait?! Give back
Gen-chan!!!!!!!!!!!! " *Pissed*
-chan's voice becomes more distant as we rode off.
Atobe: ""Gen-chan"...??"
: "Uh...the horse's name..."
Atobe: "I have a feeling I've heard it before..."
: "Ah, last year, I took her to your match against Rikkai..."
Atobe: "You mean..."
: "Its most likely what you're thinking..."
Atobe: "Wait a sec are you serious..."
: "She's always been strange..."
Atobe: "......True......"
The two of us look at each other and laughed, lightly placing our lips together.
A privileged moment - full of happiness.
- Addition No 2-
Atobe: "If we get married..."
: "What...?" *Blushes*
Atobe: "It mean that I'll be family with that
too..." *Sighs*
: "Ah, well I do see her as my elder sister myself so...it would be so."
*Wry smile*
Atobe: ".........And if she with Sanada........."
*Freaks*
: "??"
Atobe: "If, she marries...I'll be brothers with Sanada as well............"
*Loathes*
: "Ah."
[Ahahahaha............just a little convo I wanted to try writing for my own
interests... *sweat drops*
Atobe, I swear would most likely seriously hate it. *laughs*
Sorry for my self-seeing. *wry laugh*]
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
Postscript@@@@8/28/2005
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
To be honest writing this DN, was actually embarrassing for me too...... *wry
smile*
Qui-te a sweet dream. And to add serious. Maybe-??? (On top of that filled with
crack... *sweat drops*)
In between everything I suddenly lost Atobe's character completely so I re-read
Hyotei match, glared at 20.5...
In the end I ended up writing whilst listening to Atobe's character song... *wry
smile*
Over all it really seems...-san is a little too over protective over -san...maybe??
*laughs wryly*
The Language of Flowers, in reality, is my recent my boom. [Jap term meaning:
Personal hobby of the time]
It was bad enough that a while back I went back to Japan, I bought an
encyclopedia. (I was looked at Akina with a staggering look...)
But, in the end it was a good use right?! *sweat drops*
The horse's name......well, no really, that's just my desire.
I have a bad enough Sanada-san sickness to be even
looked at appallingly by all my friends (including Akina). *wry laugh*
And, one thing: Owning a horse is also my desire.
Oh, and if any of you are not too sure about horses but want to know about "Trakehner"s
be my guest and see
here. (At the
least even only looks). [Karinui: And cos wikipedia is the answer to almost
everything:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trakehner ]
Well, really. Such a pretty breed isn't it-...a horse so fit for Atobe... *wry
smile*
This scene, I actually borrowed the idea slightly from the game "Tennnis no
Ouji-sama Rush&Dream". *laughs*
PS Atobe's horse's name is the same as the game!
And, well- once I start with horses I'll never shut up so...
Co, once more:
Happy Birthday, Akina!!!!!!!

Anyway, since we're on the topic of this DN,
how did you feel while writing it? Any possible -Sanada's Side- in the near
future?
Rou: YOU.
How I felt...embarassed. The three
kisses and writing the horses name was bad enough... *hides* Uh...don't make me
do that... *hides* I can imagine Atobe looking at us with more...despair...
*whistles*
_ k: Phone disagrees, it'll have no master.
Heh heh heh, but don't you want Atobe to
have a despairing face anyway? >D
Rou: ...Ok...I'll give him to Marui then...
Well...but...I can't be bothered
and...I don't think I can continue and explain about the horse... *in fear*
_ k: NOOO...PHONIIIIEEEEE...

face, and when he asks you "Let's ride it togeth - " Hmm.
Rou: >D >D >D *Orders Kabaji to take away the crazy girl*
...See...? *pouting* And how will we
meet? Its like: We're in completely different schools and have never met.

...That's so...cliche... *looks at
Senpai*
_ k: Oi. Stop giving my wife influential...foood...*_*
I wasn't thinking, and that et cetera is my
loop hole <3
Rou: ...Kabaji make sure you feed her half way so she's bound to follow you to
where she needs to go.
Right...loop hole... *pats* Meh...I
ain't continuing this!! *yells*
_ k: Nooo...wifeeeey!!! >o<
Darn, almost convinced you. *snaps fingers*

_ k: TT^TT *makes grabby hand movements to BunBun*
O.o;;;;;;; Well. Okay. Hmm. Right-o.
Rou: *Passes a shortbread biscuit to Senpai*
Fu. Nice try trying to get me to
write the other side of things! >D
_ k: mmm...biscuit =w=
Other side, go on. or you can do the -Nioh's
Side-, with Sanada as a minor character who named his shinai Karyu. [or we found
out about Gen-chan]
Rou: *Watches Kabaji pull Senpai out of view*
...I can't do Nioh... *horror struck*
(Dialect wall) ...Ok... *shocked*
_ k: *realisation* Oi. *lazily unimpressed*
...Yagyu? >D >D >D
Rou: *Keeps feeding Marui* So this phone is now yours. ^w^

offence, dude.]
Rou: Hell yeah. You SHOULD call it Bunta or something... =w= *pokes*
YEP. HIM. So, SHUT UP. *pouts*
[*Amused*]
_ k: Don't...tempt me. Imagine Bunta calling up, and I pick up "Bunta". AMUSED.
TT^TT *clings to Marui-wife* [Well at least
we're not talking about his *silence*[
Rou: LMAO. DO! 8DDD
So, who's all mighty now? >D [I

_ k: "Hello, Bunta, I'm talking to you using Bunta."
Still me, cos I'm...random *RANDOM*
[*whistles*]
Rou: LMAO. Like wise Sanada-san riding Gen-chan... =w=|||
...Ok... *sighs* <--Can't be bothered

If the reason is sane and impressive,
I MIGHT do it... *shrugs*
_ k: Sigh for us =w=;;;;
>D >D >D
HO HO HO HO
Rou: Uh huh... *sighs*
Leave me be...
_ k: Well, since we'll kill the page with our ramblings, we'll leave it at
