Just One Smile

Understanding is to Confused

Mayumi sat down on a patch of grass near the tombstone, her eyes lifted to the sky.

Sanada was leaning on a tree planted close-by.

"Ne, Gen-kun, what is your best memory of Misumi?" Mayumi asked.

Sanada thought for a while before answering, "I guess, it would be when Misu-chin almost peed laughing from that joke I said about the ducks."

Mayumi chuckled, "Yeah, I remember that joke." She sighed.

Sanada walked over. "Ma-chan, what is your best memory of Misu-chin?" he asked as he sat next to the girl.

"I remember everything about her. And I love every memory that I have of her." Mayumi smiled.

"She's something special isn't she?" Sanada raising his eyes to the sky.

"Ne, Misu-chin, do you hear us talking about you?" Mayumi asked the air.

Sanada glanced at the girl beside him. "I think she does." He smiled.

"Been a while Gen-kun." Mayumi smiled back.

"Been a while?" Sanada's smile turned into a confused look.

"Since I last saw you smile." Mayumi explained.

"Aa." Sanada agreed.

The regulars all waited in anticipation for Yukimura to enter the club room, practice was over that Saturday and they all wanted to hear the story.

"Mou! Yukimura-buchou is sure taking his time getting here." Akaya all giddy with anticipation.

Yukimura opens the door and everyone shot up and stared at him.

"Oh, you're all still here." Yukimura greeted everyone unenthusiastically.

"We've been waiting for you." Marui replied.

"So I see." Yukimura went straight to his locker.

"Well?" Niou followed the demigod.

"Well what?" Yukimura asked cluelessly.

"Seiichi, you said you'd tell us the rest of the story after practice, we're waiting." Yanagi explained.

"Ah, hai, so I did." Yukimura finally remembering.

"The suspense is killing us Yukimura-kun." Yagyuu signalled Yukimura to proceed.

Yukimura sighed, obviously he was not getting out this one. "Fine, sit down minna."

The regulars sat in the closest chair or thing they could find.

"Mayumi is the youngest daughter of my Oba-san." Yukimura started.

"We already know that, she has a Niisan right?" Yanagi confirmed.

"Hai, demo, she also has a Neesan." Yukimura explained.

"E?"

"Mayumi had an older twin." Yukimura continued.

"E?"

"Her name was Misumi. She was Genechiro's...best friend." Yukimura paused.

The regulars tried to process the new information, Yanagi was first to process what Yukimura said of course.

"His best friend?" Yanagi asked.

"Eto...not really." Yukimura corrected.

"What is it really were they best friends or not?" Marui clarified.
