Untold Moments

Chapter 3: Closets

Laughing the guardian's except for Kukai who was at soccer practice and Yaya at ballet, were talking about their latest plan. "Are you sure this is going to work Mashiro-chan?" asked Tadase, slightly concerned. "Of course it will!" replied Rima bluntly. "Yeah, Brighten up Tadase-kun! This plan is just genius! It's about time they should bring their relationship up a notch don't you think? And then we can work with you know who." Amu said while gesturing towards Rima and Nagehiko. "It might work. We can just hope for the best" said Nagehiko, not noticing the gestures towards him and Rima. "Okay guys. I'll call you later! I got to go. My parents should be waiting for me." A car horn was heard. "Bye! We'll carry this plan out in a couple of days." Said Rima while walking out of Tadase's house. Tadase sighed, as soon as everyone was out of the house. he hoped Rima's plan went well and didn't ruin someone's friendship.

~ Five Days Later! ~

"Are you guys ready?" Came Rima's voice into the walkie talkie. "yeah" were the chorus of replies. "Okay Tadase Hurry up and go get Kukai! I just finished stashing the food, since this might take a while." was her reply. "You mean I just finished stashing the food" Came Nagehiko's smooth voice. Rima scowled at his comment and let out a slight "whatever". "I'm going to go get Yaya!" Came Amu's excited reply.

"Amu-chi are you sure Tadase wants something from inside that closet?" Asked Yaya while eying the closet in Tadase's room suspiciously. "Yeah, I'm sure. He said he wants something from one of the boxes in there. And said that you knew perfectly well what it was." was Amu's cool and spicy reply. Yaya sighed but then seemed to realize something and yanked the closet door and starting searching through the boxes quickly only to have the door shut sending her into the wall. "ouch" she mumbled while thinking I wonder where the candies are. "Amu-chi, what kind of box did Tadase say the candy was in?" When she looked over her shoulder she noticed nobody had reopened the door. "Amu-chi!?" she squeaked and then the childish girl started to panic and began banging loudly on the door.

Meanwhile, Tadase and Kukai were walking towards Tadase's room. Only to have Amu run towards them and say that Yaya was stuck in Tadase closet! After that, she said she really needed to find Rima, forgetting about the poor young girl stuck in the closet."We should listen to her Kukai" came Tadase's a nod they started towards his room once again only to her banging and shouts of 'Let me out of Here!!' Or 'Somebody better let Yaya out of here or else!!'. Just when she was about to give up and continue looking for the 'snacks' Tadase promised her Kukai opened the door and Tadase pushed him in. Then he quickly slammed the door and locked it. the impact cuased Kukai to stumble towards Yaya, but he hung on to some clothes.

Yaya landed with an 'oof' on top of some boxes, Kukai hovering above her, and then the clothe hanger broke. Causing him to fall on her. Yaya's eyes widened but not because of the position. Oh no. She let out a squeal and roughly pushed Kukai of her while standing up fist pumped into the air the other one currently had a bag of jolly ranchers. "Yaya, that hurt you now" said Kukai who had a faint blush on his cheeks. It was then that Yaya finally took notice of the other occupant in the closet. "Kukai!! Yaya missed you so much!!! How's soccer and school going!?!?" she said while tackling hi into a hug in the confined space. He just chuckled slightly, ruffling her hair, "Its been great, we might just win the championship this year. I hope our team can make it through" he replied trying to suppress the blush that was threatening to appear on his face. You see Kukai had just realized recently; that the love he had for this childish girl was more than just brotherly love, he was, with the proof that he was just blushing, absolutely sure that he was in love with this girl. He silently promised himself he'd make a move soon.

Yaya couldn't believe it. She hadn't seen him in two weeks! And now here they are stuck in a closet. She blushed at this. And then the seriousness, of the situation took over all her happiness all to quickly. She reluctantly let go of him, blush spreading across her face and stated the obvious. "How did we get locked in here Kukai? Yaya only remembers Amu-chi telling her that Tadase had, the jolly ranchers she wanted in here and then the closet door shut..." Kukai looked at her curiously, but then realization spread across his face. "When I was with Tadase, Amu came up to us saying that you got stuck in his closet and then we ran up to his room. I remember opening the door and then getting pushed inside.."

Yaya calmly unwrapped a Jolly rancher and popped it into her mouth. "Hmm... You think Tadase pushed you in? Nah. He'd never to something like that. At least Yaya doesn't think he would.." mumbled Yaya, while sucking on the candy in her mouth, offering some to Kukai, which he accepted. "Now that I think about it, it probably was him. And the rest of our friends have been acting strangely weird lately..." commented Kukai. "That's true. Remember when we went to the park, and Rima-chi tripped me.. And Yaya crashed into you.. that was mean of Rima-chi!" she said while a faint blush appeared on her face. "Yeah, and they practically forced us to go on a date, the day the carnival was in town. Remember?" Kukai replied, but was actually grateful for that. "Yeah! That was really fun Kukai! Yaya still has the necklace you bought her! See?" She reached towards her neck and unclasped a star shaped pendant from her neck. It was a pale pink color, she handed it over to him so he could look at it better, a light blush gracing her features.

Kukai chuckled, grabbing for the necklace, he examined it closely. "It's still in mint condition, You'd think you would have broken it already" he said while grinning at Yaya. Who just smiled back. "Of course Yaya wouldn't break it! Kukai gave it to her, so it's really special!" was her sincere reply, Kukai couldn't help but blush a darker shade of red. "Who would've thought we'd be able to talk so easily in a closet" mumbled in an attempt to change the subject.

Yaya pouted, she knew what he was doing. He always tried to change the subject when ever she tried to express her feelings for him. But today would be different, she'd take up on this opportunity Tadase and Amu had given her and finally confess her feelings to him, even if they where stuck in this closet. "Ano, Kukai.." she began he just looked at her, nodding, a sign of encouragement for her to go on, he could tell she was nervous.

Meanwhile

"Shush Guys!" scolded Rima coldly, I want to hear what's happening. Currently Tadase, Amu, Nagehiko and Rima where outside of the closet listening to everything those two where saying. "But, I think it's cute that Kukai got Rima a necklace" Amu said with mini-hearts in her eyes. "I wish some-" Rima quickly cut her off, Be quiet! I can't here what Yaya's saying!" and that was all it took for Rima to get those Idiots to shut up. They could now hear perfectly. Don't you just love it when two loudmouth energectic friends are getting together? You can perfectly hear them, thought Rima, a smile gracing her features. Nagehiko saw her smile and blushed slightly, Maybe I'll confess soon too he thought happily.

Back to the Closet!

Their eyes locked, Yaya found herself getting sucked in to his alluring green orbs, she gulped, and then let out a shaky breath. Before trying again, "I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now.." She's not using third person Kukai thought amused.'"I've liked you for a real long time" Yaya was about as red as a tomatoes as she said this, while Kukai was just in shock."A-and I w-was wondering i-if -y-you'd go ou-" Kukai seemed to regain from his shock, hearing her stuttering seemed to have also broken the daze he was in. In one swift movement he captured her lips not letting her utter another word. The kiss lasted for mere seconds, but it was innocent, and they both enjoyed it. Yaya was blushing even redder, if that was possible and Kukai started to blush again. "I like you too, Yuiki Yaya" and just as they where leaning in for another kiss, the closet door was swung open, revealing the smiling and smirking faces of their friends.

"Well aren't you guys quite the cute couple!" Nagehiko, Amu, Tadase and Rima said at the same time. Kukai and Yaya just grinned as they stepped out of the closet, "You now you guys have about five seconds to run before I come after you with a soccer ball!"Kukai said threateningly. With that their friends chuckled nervously and were out the door in a flash.

Grinning once again Kukai looked over Yaya. scanning her over carefully, "That should get rid of them for a while. Wanna go on an ice cream date?" Smiling and eyes sparkling, Yaya started pulling Kukai towards said location, "I would love to!" Kuukai noticed once again, that she was not using third person anymore, he could get used to this.
