Thanks for reading and all the comments. I'm still alive, even if I seem to have disappeared for a little while. I'm sure most of you didn't notice it right?
To fulfil my end of the deal with Blughise, here is my update since she updated her's as well.
So after a nice camping trip, a burn on the wrist and an evil sun that stole all my brewing ideas, here is the next update. Sorry if it is a bit confusing but this part of the story is set before MG, when Black is still Yuki.
RAPPAPA: Black IN White - 2“Good morning Yuki,”
“Good morning,” Yuki greeted her classmates as she made her way to her desk.
“You seem later than usual today,” her classmates said striking up a conversation.
“I was up a little late last night,” Yuki replied as she took out her books and placed them on her desk preparing herself for the day.
Yuki's thoughts wonder back to last night where the two of them stood silently in the night, admiring the charming stars scattered throughout the skies. She never did learn of the girl’s name, nor did the girl spoke another word while they stayed at the park. They end up each walking their separate ways as the darkness faded when the sun woke up from its slumber. When she got home she inspected the damage from her parent's intense battle, broken glass left untouched on the ground, dirt smeared on a side of the wall from the impact of the poor flower pot and a fist size crack noted on one of the walls. Ignoring it all Yuki headed straight to her room to get ready for school.
“Yuki… Yuki!” Yuki was brought out of her thoughts by the intruding hand waving intently in front of her face.
“Were you listening to what I was saying?” her classmate sighed. Yuki was obviously not giving her any attention, "I was saying, I heard there is going to be a new student today, just moved here from Nagoya."
"Oh," Yuki replied not showing any ounce of interest regarding her soon to be classmate. Before anymore questions and gossip can be brought up the bell rang signaling the beginning of class.
"Good morning class, today we have a new student, please get along," Mr. Nomura said as he motion for the new student to enter the room.
The once quiet classroom became filled with chattering, the boys immediately directed their interest to the new girl standing in the front, while some of the girls feel envy and jealous of the beauty. Hearing all the commotion Yuki looked up and there stood the same yet different girl from last night. She had the same black hair, same attractive eyes and the same porcelain skin that one couldn’t stop their eyes from lingering over her. Everything about her is the same but her aura is different, the disturbance held by the mysterious girl last night is now non existing. Yuki took time to examine the girl that stood in front of the class, her long hair left down to settle middle way down her back and her dark attire now replaced by the schools uniform. She sported a gentle and shy smile as she kindly tried to answer the questions thrown at her by her curious classmates. Is this really the same girl from last night, was the only thought running through Yuki's mind.
"Matsui Rena, nice to meet you," she said as she made a quick bow towards the class. Mr. Nomura quickly looked around the room and found the only available desk for Rena.
"Matsui-san, please take a seat beside Kashiwagi-san over there by the windows." Rena followed Mr. Nomura's motion and smiled. She quickly and gracefully made her way towards her desk, watching her new seat mate with interest.
"We meet again," Rena said after seating herself, "Matsui Rena," she said placing her hand out towards Yuki.
"Kashiwagi Yuki," Yuki said while taking Rena's hand in hers for a short hand shake.
Whispers can be heard flying around the classroom as everyone is distracted by the two beautiful princess in their class. It was hard enough for the guys to concentrate with just Yuki, now with the addition of Rena, the girls groan at their chances to make any advancement for the rest of their school life.
*****
Yuki wasn't sure if it was coincidence or fate but since then, she and Rena would end up bumping into each other everywhere they go. One day when Yuki was volunteering at the library as usual, helping the librarian return the pile of books back into their place when she accidently bumped into Rena. That is when she found out not only does Rena love spicy food, she also have a sweet tooth for melon pans. The girl was looking high and low on the shelves for the book of melon pan, after some convincing Yuki gave into the pouting puppy and decided to help the girl out.
Even Yuki can't find a reason to why she feels close to this new girl that suddenly appeared into her life. They don't talk much but there is this mutual understanding between them that no one seem to be able to explain. Their fast growing friendship became a hot topic at school, they moved up the ranks quickly within the student body. Whether it is the girl you want to date the most, the best looking , the most popular or every other polls the student's came up with Yuki and Rena are there right at the top. This cause a lot of jealousy within the top girls of the school but Yuki and Rena just brushed it off as they don't care for these ranks. This provided the students with another reason to widely accept the two princess as they don't put up a superior attitude like some of the others.
Not only do the two have the looks they also have to smarts as they dominated the exam results, making top ten for every course they took. The two decided to celebrate their success in finishing their exams together and to avoid the annoying crowd that attempt to mob them with congratulations.
"What do you want to eat?" Yuki asked, "and no we aren't having melon pan, you already had that for lunch," Yuki added knowing what Rena would said if she didn't.
"Mouu.." a sound Rena like to make as she pouted, they continue to walk around until they stopped in front of a ramen restaurant.
They notice two girls sitting inside with one eating the noodles from her bowl like it was the best ramen she ever ate while the other one beside her haven't touched hers at all. Curious about the different presentation of the girls they decided to walk inside and give the ramen a try. They sat down at one of the far tables and ordered a miso ramen each, while they wait they observed the two sitting a few tables away.
"Isn't it a little hot to be wearing fur and jacket?" Yuki whispered over to Rena while pointing at the panther pattern fur boots and the pink jacket of the eating girl.
"Yuki it's not polite to point," Rena reminded her friend as she can't help but glance over at the other table, thinking how much of their uniform's skirt did they shorten.
When their food finally arrives they realize why one of the girl hasn't touched her food and only sat there listening to music on her headphones. What they don't understand is how the other girl can stand eating this stuff, the noodles are soggy, the soup taste like salt and water, the seaweed seems to have been sitting around too long and the meat in Yuki's bowl appears to be over cooked.
"This has to be the nastiest bowl of ramen I ever tasted," Yuki whispered over to Rena, not wanting to offend the owner that is standing behind the counter. Rena nod in agreement as both of them turned over to watch the crazy girl eat.
"Does she not have any taste buds? How can she eat this stuff?" Yuki asked no one in particular.
"SHIBUYA! You are going to pay for messing with us!" some girl screech from outside the restaurant.
"Shibuya-san" the girl in purple jacket said quietly only to meet with the fist of the one she was addressing.
"I'm eating," Shibuya said, the girl in purple only nodded before running outside to confront the group gathered. Yuki and Rena peered out to see the girl getting pushed around before thrown back into the restaurant.
Shibuya sighed before putting down her chopsticks, quickly getting up she moved over to the fallen girl and helped her up before turning to face the group of girls that gathered.
"Dance you okay?" after seeing the girl nod, Shibuya dropped into action, grabbing one of the nearby girl and slamming her head first into the table, then kicking another one back out of the restaurant.
"Don't worry I'll pay for the damage," Shibuya yelled back to the owner who seems unfazed by the unfolding event as Dance walked over and pulled out her wallet while she calculated the damage.
Shibuya threw a girl back at the few trying to make their way into the restaurant causing them to fall like dominos then walking right over them she took the fight outside minimizing any more damage to her wallet. The fight didn't take long, it was really one sided once it started.
"Wow did you see that?" Yuki asked finally turning back around to face Rena, that is when she notice the change.
Rena sat there watching the fight with interest, a grin made its way to her lips as she started to bite on her nails, she started emitting her mysterious aura while the fight went on. When Shibuya stepped back into the restaurant the first thing she notice was the change in the air, quickly locating the source Shibuya was caught in a staring match with those challenging eyes of Rena's. Dance and Yuki watched the two test each other's hidden strength, it was a battle of minds, until Yuki intervened.
"Rena?" Yuki asked unsure if she should address the girl in front of her. Yuki placed her hand on Rena's arm, successfully snapping the girl back to her normal self.
Shibuya staggered back a step from the sudden disruption and surprise by abrupt change in the girl's behavior. Shibuya quickly straighten herself then walked over to Rena and Yuki's table.
"What is your name?" Shibuya asked directing the question to Rena.
"Matsui Rena, this is my friend,"
"Kashiwagi Yuki,"
"Join me and my circle," Shibuya offered, curious of the 180 personality change Rena just pulled off.
"Sorry, I'm not interested," Rena smile as she timidly answered, "I think its best that we go," she started getting up motioning for Yuki to do the same.
"Thank you for the meal," they both said after paying for their untouched food and headed out the door.
"If you ever come across any trouble, just tell them you know Shibuya," Shibuya told the two retreating figure, she then sat down at their table and dig into the untouched bowl of ramen. All the fighting made her hungry again and since it’s already paid for it would be a waste if they just dump it out.
Rena end up bring Yuki to her favorite ramen restaurant and each ordered a bowl of spicy ramen that ranked ninth on the spicy charts. After a lot of sweating, random outburst of words and a lot of water downing by Yuki they finished their lovely celebration meal. The two sat there and laughed after looking at each other, it's the first time they found someone else who can handle this level of spice so from now on they don't have to eat alone when they crave for an extreme spicy meal.
"Glad to know, I now have someone to eat spicy food with," Yuki joked as they walked around the district and somehow ended back at the park they first met.
"Look the stars are out tonight," Yuki said as they sat down on one of the benches, "just like the night we first met," Rena didn't say anything, she just looked up into the stars scattered throughout the night sky and smiled.
Just like the first time, they stay there with each other's company, no exchange in words needed, just the warm presence is enough for them.
