Hanashi Wo Suru No Kyo! (To Tell A Story of Kyo!)

Part 2: A Hidden Talent or Two

     The second day of school. A Tuesday. It was very sunny and warm. Unusual for a day of fall in Japan, but that was how it was. I started walking on the road to school, after being treated to a very nice breakfast by Mom. I turned the corner to go to go on the next road to school and...

"Good morning, Kyo-kun," said a familiar voice.

"Yoru-san... Good.. Good morning...." I stumbled.

"Are you ready to go to school?" Asami asked playfully.

"Uh... yah... Just two things," I said.

"Oh? What are these "things", Kyo-kun?" She said smirking.

"Um... You don't have to walk with me... And also.... What was that yesterday? Why did you...k..kiss me....?" I stated.

"I want to walk with you Kyo-kun. And the kiss, hehe, that was so I'm ahead of the other girls. I like you, Kyo-kun," Asami said calmly.

I blushed.

"You...li..like me? And ahead of the other girls? What are you saying Yoru-san...?" I questioned.

"Yes, I like you. And the other girls meaning a majority of the school. Everyone wants to be your girlfriend.  And you can call me Asami-kun or Yoru-kun, seeing as we're friends now," Asami said giggling.

I was questioning myself. What do they see in me? And I guess I could call her Asami-kun as we are friends now. But, everyone wants to be my girlfriend? Why?

Asami read my facial expression. "Everyone wants to be your girlfriend because you're shy, but cute and you're really kind."

But, I hardly talked to anyone so how do they know my "kindness"?

We kept walking silently. I looked at Asami. She was smiling.

When we got to the school, Asami got a lot of stares from the girls there. I got a lot of threatning looks from the boys. Were we doing something wrong or was I?

I sat down at my desk.

"Psst, Asami-kun, come here," said a group of girls while motioning her towards them.

Asami walked over to the group of girls, who were apparently her friends. I heard a few giggles and whispers, but couldn't make out any of it.

Asami walked back over to the desk and sat down. I looked at her and and she looked back at me. I blushed and turned away.

(Author's Note: Some Japanese schools have desks that are basically wood blocks with a little slant underneath for legs and such. 3 people sit at one wooden block desk. I prefer these desks over standard ones, meaning a small desk with a basket underneath the chair and everyone's desks are separated because it makes it easier to pass notes.)

"Um, where you talking about me...?" I asked.

"Yep!" she said quickly.

Not even dishonest about gossip. What exactly is this girl?

"They want to have a challenge. Whoever kisses you first is your official girlfriend!" she said excitedly.

"Wha..What!?" I shouted.

"Yes. Whoever kisses Kyo-kun first wins!" she said, bursting with joy.

Does that mean she won already?

"No, that one didn't count," she said as if reading my thoughts.

The morning class bell finally rung and everyone sat down quietly. Almost all the girls turned around and looked at me. I looked down when a I got a few evil stares from the guys. I hope they don't hate me for this as I have no control.
