In Memories We Stand, Chapter 4

Title: In Memories We Stand, Chapter 4

By: Kira User

Rated: PG13

Summary: Miharu is set on making the most of their time together. 

Notes: Okay first and foremost, this is not a fic that will end all thoughtful or angst or anything. It is just meant to be a little cracky, and silly, despise how it starts at the beginning. Un-betaed, so all the mistakes are my own >~< Oh! Also this is based in the anime-world, so we kind of know where these two are at. 

More Notes: This is more for me than for you all, but this fanfic is definitely not going to pass 10 chapters. I like long stories, especially if they are good and all. But I am not a good writer, and definitely this story is not worth going over 10 chapters XD. Just so you know...

Warning: Intersexual in drag.... But is that considered a warning? Is not like cross-dressing to be honest XD Let us all remember just how... unique Miharu's fashion sense is heh? So this is also a warning too...

You can find Chapter 1 here...

Him and Miharu were enjoying the quiet evening over the extremely loud chitty chatter that the other couple seem to be very engrossed in. Well, Yoite thinks it must be extremely loud seeing he can actually still hear everything that Raimei is saying. And if the yelling was not enough, she would move her limbs every which way as if to make a point. He wondered if all the normal teenagers were like that too. He remembered the first time he meet Gau, and how he thought Gau somewhat loud, obnoxious and full of a blind sense of justice. Yoite figured that, because he wasn't born normal, he was cursed to never act normal too.

Something he found very odd about Raimei, however, was how one moment he saw Kouichi and Raimei talking in front of them, and the next Raimei goes off with a complete stranger still focused in her conversation, not noticing anything was amiss. Kouichi had to quickly run after her, before the stranger could get over his shock of his new stalker companion. The slight smirk on Miharu's face tells Yoite that this kind of situation has happened before, a lot. 

It was too soon that the four of them saw the lights coming from the festival. Big announcements surrounded by even more lights were slowly enveloping them. People started to appear from all directions, and quickly the quiet evening was no more. 

The four of them went to pay for their tickets. Yoite could feel the stare of people, and once again wished he could hide under the safety of his cap for a little peace of mind. 

"Wow! Look at all those stands! Oh! I always wanted a goldfish, lets go and see if we can catch some!"

Miharu, wanting to enjoy some time of the festival alone with Yoite, said "you go ahead, I will take Yoite to try some of the food from-"

"Rokujo!"

They turned at the sound of his name to see a group that Yoite supposed could be their classmates, judging by how they look to be around the same age.

"Hey guys." Yoite was surprised to notice that with the smile from Miharu, some of the girls from the group started blushing and giggling behind their hands. Looking how the group quickly surrounded Miharu, it was quickly becoming clear that he was more popular than what Yoite or Miharu though. It was probably his apathetic personality that once keep them at bay, but now that he is becoming more and more expressive people seem to finally see their chance to get to know more about the young shinobi. 

How weird that his heart constricted a little at this thought, and, for once, wished Miharu would go back to his previous attitude. 

"Rokujo! What a surprise to see you here!"

"Yeah, we've never seen you coming to a winter festival before."

"I suppose I never really had a good motive to come to one before." Miharu, used to their attention, answered with a shrug of the shoulder. It was how he leaned closer to Yoite, that finally made the intruding group realize that there was new person among them.

"Oh! And who is this?"

His smile seems to have gotten brighter at this question. "This is Yoite, a... friend." Yoite didn't understand what he meant with that pause. The group also stared at him with confused expressions, but, at the sight of Miharu's arm wrapped around his, their faces soon turned to surprise. 

"Oh-Ooh!"

"I didn't know that Miharu liked them older..."

"Uwah... How disappointing is to see Miharu already taken!"

Their responds were making him get more and more confused by the minute. Wanting to be done with the introductions, he said, "good evening."

"Good evening!"

"Yoite, these are some classmates from my junior high."

"Oi! Classmates? What do you mean 'these are some classmates.' We each have our names you know!" Despise their upset tone of voice, they didn't seem to be angry at Miharu, or surprised that Miharu didn't remember their names again.

"Rokujo still seems to be joking about that, even if we have had classes together since elementary."

Miharu didn't look embarrassed at all, with that smile never leaving his face through all of this, "sorry."

"Anyway," one of the guys said, moving a little closer to see Yoite's face properly. "She seems to be a looker."

He glared at this comment, and at the back he could see how Kouichi and Raimei were trying to contain their laughs.

"Yeah! I don't see why you should be embarrassed by being with someone like her. How come you never told us about your 'friend', Rokujo?"

"Oh, I don't know." Miharu grabbed Yoite's hand gently in his. "I must have had too many things going on."

"I'll say!"

"She is really cute."

Miharu's smile has turned somewhat forced by now, and he took a few steps backs, dragging Yoite along with him. "If you all don't mind, we will be going now to enjoy some of the sta-"

"Oi! What do we have here...?"

Once again their conversation got interrupted. They turned to the two newcomers. Two older and really tall guys, even to Yoite's standard. Both of them were at least a head taller than him.

A whispered, "the high-schoolers!" Just about confirmed his suspicions. 

Something about their gaze and their confident attitude made them be a little threatening. Yoite didn't like particularly the look from the bleachy blond guy, who kept giving him a leer expression with his eyes. 

Have they been shinobis from the Nabari world, he would have defended himself no problem. But in the outside world, he is just as vulnerable as the others. Tensing his jaw, he awaited the confrontation he knew was soon to come.

Woohoo! Another chapter out of the way, yes! Man, I wish I didn't give myself so many projects to do, to have a little more time to finish this fanfic once and for all. It seems that I keep updating it once every month! My real intention was to update it once every week, what's up with that?!

Anyway, I hope you all like it! What is going to happen?!?! I wonder....
