Sakura was stopping by one of her favorite stalls, she had a hankering for chicken skewers, and so far, these were the best ones she had ever tasted. As usual, she bought five of them, and happily munched on them while drinking her favorite chocolate drink.She looked up at the sky and saw the dark angry clouds above.
It's going to rain soon. I might as well hang around here, I can't be fucked to drive in the rain.
She checked her phone and saw that she didn't have any messages. She knew her friends were busy with their own things. She also knew Hyewon was going on a date with Yuri. Lucky bastard, I wonder how she convinced Yuri into going out with her. While she was finishing up on her last skewer, she noticed that Kazuha had walked out of the store and stopped near the entrance.
She could see that she had a really sad expression and was holding back her tears. Sakura's eyebrows furrowed. Whatever it is, it's not my problem. The rain then started to fall, and she saw that Kazuha did not move from her spot. Is she trying to get herself sick?
She watched as seconds ticked by, Kazuha still did not move from her spot. She could see that her shoulders were moving and it seemed that she was crying.
Sakura exhaled. Nope, Kkura, it is not your problem. Let her be, she'll be fine.
But her guilt was eating at her, she didn't like seeing Kazuha on the street, crying under the rain. She huffed and went to her motorcycle, and got the small umbrella she had stashed in there. She opened it and walked towards Kazuha, and used the umbrella to shield her from the rain.
Kazuha had taken notice of her presence, she looked into Sakura's eyes, who saw the pain and sadness in those brown orbs. Sakura's heart was tugged somehow and was concerned about what may have caused this.
Suddenly, Kazuha had wrapped her arms around her and cried even harder than before. She was bewildered, she had no idea what to do. They barely said two words to each other after all.
Not knowing what else to do or say, she swallowed and asked, "Uhm, are you okay? Why are you crying?"
"I'm not crying, it's just raining." Kazuha sobbed.
Sakura sighed, she gently patted her back.
"Come on, let's take a seat over there until the rain stops." she told her.
Kazuha just bowed her head down and stood there, so Sakura decided to take matters into her own hands and grabbed Kazuha's wrist, leading her towards the seats where she had been eating chicken skewers earlier.
She closed her umbrella and sat next to her. Both of them were silent, taking in the scenes in front of them. Sakura decided not to push her with questions, based on what she had observed about her, she knew Kazuha was the type who liked to keep things private.
She saw that Kazuha was thoroughly soaked from standing under the rain and was beginning to shiver from the cold. She sighed and got up again and took an extra white shirt from her bike. She gave the shirt to Kazuha, and took off her leather jacket and gave that to her as well.
"There's a public restroom next to the stall, you can change there."
Kazuha looked at her with a shocked expression.
"N-no, it's fine."
"It's not, you'll get sick."
"I'm okay."
"Princess, now is not the time to be stubborn. You're soaking wet, and you're shivering. Just change. It's just a shirt and a jacket. Go on, it won't bite."
Kazuha gulped, she was right, she felt cold. But it was really weird accepting help from the notorious bad girl, but since she was being kind, she took her up on that offer and changed.
When she finally got out, Sakura looked at her and smirked. "You look good in that, but we all know I'd look even better."
Kazuha gave a small smile, "Of course, it has to be about you in the end."
"Naturally." Sakura grinned. Kazuha smiled back.
The rain finally trickled to a stop, Sakura looked up to the sky and then stood up.
She contemplated doing it, she knew she didn't have to, but for some unknown reason, she just wanted to make sure Kazuha was okay. That she was going to be safe.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
Kazuha looked at her with a confused expression "I- you don't have to. I'll be fine." she said softly. "Yeah, I know, but I want to. Come on, before I change my mind." Kazuha exhaled, she looked at Sakura's stubborn expression and knew there was no point in arguing with her. She stood up, and looked warily at the motorcycle. "I don't think it's very safe." she said. Sakura smirked, "Don't worry, I am not a demon on wheels, and this can help you get to your house faster than a car. Besides, I'm a pretty good driver." She gave her extra helmet to Kazuha. She always took it with her as her friends were always asking for rides. Kazuha took the helmet and wore it. She struggled in putting on the strap and Sakura helped her with it, hearing a click as Sakura locked the strap in for her.
Sakura took a step back and smiled. "There. Now you can be sure that your cute self is going to be safe." she exclaimed, Kazuha blushed.
"Uhm, thanks!"
Sakura laughed and got on her bike and revved it up. "Come on, let's go."
For some reason, Kazuha felt her heart flutter at this. Sakura WAS gorgeous after all, and it didn't help that she was being nice to her for some reason.
Kazuha got on the bike.
"Hold on tight. I don't want your parents suing me if something happens to you."
"They might sue you if they just saw me on this thing with you."
"Hey, don't hurt her feelings. She's not just a thing."
"Sure."
Sakura grinned, "Ready?"
"Yeah, I think so" Kazuha replied, but sounding unsure.
Kazuha gingerly wrapped her arms around Sakura's waist, her heart beating fast. She took it as a sign that she was just nervous riding a motorcycle.
Sakura sighed and gently took her wrists and pulled her arms even further around her, helping Kazuha lock them securely in place. Her heart pounded even faster and she could feel her face heat up.
Sakura suddenly took off, making Kazuha hold on even tighter. She made a little squeal with the older girl giving her an amused laughter.
After 10 minutes with Kazuha keeping her eyes closed during the whole duration of the ride, they finally arrived. Sakura killed her engine and whistled as she saw Kazuha's house. It was huge.
"Lifestyles of the rich and the famous."
Kazuha got off and removed the helmet, giving it to Sakura.
Sakura looked at her, "You good now?"
"Yeah. Thanks. For everything. I'll give your shirt and jacket back tomorrow" she said shyly.
"Well, this is my exit then."
"Wait. Why?"
Sakura looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I mean, why did you take the time to help me? I mean I didn't think you'd be the type to care."
Sakura grinned at her "I don't. I was just bored, that's all."
She started her engine "Bye Princess, don't get sick now."
With that, Sakura revved up her bike and zoomed out into the street, leaving Kazuha wondering about the whole encounter.
