A full ten minutes
later, a bright and perky Fuuko stepped out of the door. Recca's words
stopped in mid-sentence and he quickly turned around, not wanting Fuuko
to suspect anything.
"Hi guys, where's Yanagi?"
"Hi Fuuko, Domon's
got something to ask you, right Domon?"
Recca gave a big grin, ignoring her question about Yanagi and giving Domon a knudge without being too obvious.
Silence. Recca knudged
him again. But once again, silence.
"Domon?"
This time it was Fuuko
who said that. She was worried about him now. Domon was standing like a
idiot in front of her, a dreamy smile on his lips. His eyes had a far away
look on them. A sigh escaped Recca.
"This is going no where!"
Recca took to his last
resort and trod on Domon's foot, hard. However, it took Domon a few more
seconds than expected to register the fact that Recca had just stepped
on his foot. Yet another sigh from Recca. In a few seconds time, a look
of pain appeared on Domon's face. He gave a shout of surprise, and began
to hop around, holding his foot.
"Hey Recca! Whatever
did you do that for? I was in the middle of such a great day-dream! I was
dreaming that Fuuko had finally fallen for my great charm and she was..."
Whack! Erm...Domon
had missed the fact that Fuuko was standing right before him, and she had
heard every singles thing he had said.
"Your great charm?
My foot! As if I would ever fall for you!"
"But Fuuko..."
"Oh...maybe that was
why you had such a dreamy exxpression on your face huh?"
"Erm...well..."
"No wonder they call
those things day-dreams..."
Domon didn't reply.
His face now took on a sad expression. Fuuko bit her lip. Maybe she shouldn't
have been so harsh on him. They were all silent for a few tense minutes.
"Hey, lets go catch
a movie shall we?"
Recca said, breaking
the silence. The other two quickly agreed, not having anything to say.
Keeping a safe distance from Domon, Fuuko took the lead and started out
towards the cinema, she wanted to forget what she had said eariler. But
it was too late, the first crack had already appeared in Domon's heart,
injured by her words...
