Rima had a normal day. she woke up, had her classes, read her books,and go back to her dorm to rest. This is just something she prefer to as normal and typical since nothing really exceptional has occured to her these past hours. However as she turned the lock of her key to the door, a very disoriented Ruka came smashing on her and insisted that they have a 'serious talk' about priorities and relationships.
So here they sit on Ruka's bedroom,looking somber for she had mentioned a very peculiar request, that Rima was quite sure she'd never heard anything so preposterous in her entire life.
"Rima please" Ruka pleaded "this is only temporary. Kain and I both need this. we need to work on our relationship and it's getting really bad, I need to cope up and try to make it up to him."
Rima scoffed. "Your request is pathetically pointless. Do you know why they assigned girl dormates together? this is the very purpose why girls need to stick together! and you decide to intervene on that? Ruka,listen. I know that you and Kain are in a very tedious time right now but moving into his dorm won't help. Besides, haven't Chairman Cross forbid us to do this kind of thing?"
"I have thought of it" Ruka said,rubbing her temples slowly. "but Rima this is only temporary you hear, temporary! so there's no need to stress about Chairman knowing. Maybe it'll last a week.. I don't know. Just please, as a friend I ask you a favor"
Rima stared sadly at her friend, examining her beautiful features that has contorted into stressful folds for the past months now. And she realized she can do this. for her, for her happiness. Anyway this isn't something permanent right? Ruka had assured her that it was temporary. Besides Takuma was also her friend, so she has no problem because she trust him enough to be responsible and behaved. But she chose not to.
No maybe never.
"Ruka you know what my answer is" Rima said,patting her shoulders gently. "You know how I am when things happen like that. I seriously don't want to get you knocked up-"
"what?" exclaimed Ruka. "you think that I will turn into a slut once I switch dorms? is that why you don't approve Rima? Are you insulting me of being such a low-class lady?"
"Ruka I didn't mean that-"
"I get it Rima, you thought that I'd give in to my.. hormones don't you?"
Rima did not say anything anymore. But inside her, she felt the guilt of what she said.
"Okay let's talk it over again" said Rima gently. "Maybe I changed my mind" she raised a hand when she noticed Ruka had shown signs of interrupting. "But, you need to tell Takuma about this too, if he approves."
Rima grinned. Takuma was a very strict person when it come to rules. So there, guilt off and no strings attached.
Ruka laughed. "Rima, Takuma won't be moving in with you if we change dorms. Besides, it sure is best not to get him involved since he's really a not-a-rule-breaker boy. You see,Master Kaname's private room is being renovated and refurnished at the moment, so he moved in with Takuma for the time being."
"what? so If Takuma's dormmate is Kaname" Rima blinked, a bit puzzled. "then who is Kain's?"
"Senri" said Ruka. "Senri Shiki is"
(Y)
Rima did not talk to Ruka after that. Oh she didn't. for she had learned that Ruka would approve of that vile Shiki to transfer. Not thinking about her safety and preference. She even thought Ruka was a bit selfish. She knew that Rima disliked Shiki. Like,really dislike. And no, she will not belittle herself to agree into that. It was such a stupid request anyway,right from the start. She just shuddered to think about the possiblities of seeing him step into her dorm, what kind of havoc would start? she will not tolerate it. never.
"Rima" said Ruka "talk to me. I know you hate him but it's not like you can't just ignore each other right? besides.. this is also an oppprtunity for you guys to maybe start some friendship.." her voice trailed off at the glare Rima sent her.
"well okay whatever, you may or may not approve but there are three people who has strongly approved of this occurence. Kain,Senri and I. you're outnumbered my dear" Ruka smirked. "I'll be moving out tonight" then she gave a little foolish wave, a wink then she slammed the door on the way out.
"BUT!" Rima yelled after her.
The utter nerve of some people! she swear to God she'll burn them to ashes and lash them to the deepest and hottest part of hell.
okay that was a joke,but still. How can Kain be so irresponsible as to approve of this? does he value his pleasure more than the trouble Ruka and he will be getting if anyone important finds out? This is so not like them to be acting like this. And she expected more from Ruka. Ruka was supposed to be such a feminine and elegant girl who stood by the right principles. why now? holy cow they made her head ache so bad.
(Y)
This is not happening. thought Rima, this is not happening to her. She watched with arms crossed as Senri Shiki moved his boxes, clothes and gadgets inside her dormitory. She watched, with a scowl turning more and more ferocious, as he whistled away and ignored her from the couch. this is not happening. It simply cannot happen. Jesus Christ.
but it is happening.
Her insides fumed with anger, because Rima never liked it if people do something she doesn't approve of and it would involve her. this is just on of them and she cannot wait to beat the living hell out of Ruka and Kain's ass when she would meet them in a hallway. She will kill the heck out of them and she won't care if Chairman Cross,Kaname or even Takuma is there watching. Just wait and see. Maybe she'll also beat the living hell out of Shiki,too. so that he could get his fat ass back to where his dorm actually is.
"I wasn't expecting you to say welcome and go crazy with hospitality Touya" he said suddenly "but I don't think I could stand that scowl on your face, you look like a tiger.. freaky"
She ignored his remark and tightened her arms around her that it would look like it could take years to untangle them. "As far as I am concerned Shiki you are very unwelcome here and I don't offer hospitality to people I dislike"
"That's nice to know, it's not like I was craving for your warm hug or anything" he shrugged playfully and continued on to transferring his boxes inside his room.
"why did you agree to be transferred here in the first place?" she stood up and followed him to Ruka's former room which is to say, his new room now. "gone all soft? you do realize what they're doing is wrong right?"
He gave her a look. "you sound like an old woman-"
"what?" she snarled.
"Loosen up a bit will you? they're two people in love that's it. Is that just too much to understand Touya? or are you really just born emotionally daft?"
"I am not daft!" she scowled at him, eyes shining "I am simply stating that you're encouraging their misdeeds"
He sighed. "I'm sorry I don't think I can anymore talk to people whose mindset is too low for me to comprehend" then brushing past her, he started out of the living room again.
"Good God" she stomped on her way back to the living room and glared at him again. "do you have to be so pointlessly annoying? I was asking you a question!"
He froze and stared at her,hard. Little by little his blue eyes became intense. "stop bitching around Touya. I'm not even here for a couple of minutes and you start to wreak a havoc that is impossible to diminish!"
"bitching?" she repeated,startled. "excuse me, but I do not bitch! Ugh, you make me sick. you know what? I just want to let you know that while you're staying here I will not be having the happiest time of my life and that ought to let you think of options, like maybe moving out!" she was fuming that she swear that if she'd check her ears, she'd notice some steam evaporating.
"You can't make me move out you bint" he drawled. "As you have known, or are you really just that stupid, Ruka transferred to my dorm and I in yours. It is not possible to have three people in one room." he raised an eyebrow. "what do you think of me? a party crasher? besides, those two deserve some privacy"
She was trying to restrain herself to do something really unacceptable in front of him. Like perhaps, screaming her guts out or push him, or better yet,throw her thick calculus book at him. that image in her head suddenly cleared out in front of her and she realized it gave her pleasure,seeing him hurt. Rima inhaled a shaky breath and slammed her bedroom door so hard that her picture frame wobbled.
"that's right" she heard him call out to her. "just go to your room and shut the hell up"
"shut up!" she screeched. "you.. you- JERK!"
"ha, your namecalling is plausible Touya. plausible enough to be called a nursery kid's insult!"
She suddenly had the urge to hit something, just do something that would release the anger. "May I remind you that you are talking to a door!"
"hardly! since I'm actually talking to a nutcase"
"Ha! well I'm talking to a stupid useless cretin!"
"nope!" he snapped.
"Okay look,I have rules" said Rima, in between her breathes for air. My she was exhausted. it was their first night in the dorm and her voice was already losing. "If you abide to them I'll leave you alone and I'll shut up!"
" fair enough why didn't you say from the start? we could've avoided this stupid encounter." he mumbled,voice getting a bit closer to her door.
"rule one: don't you dare enter my room" she said.
"ditto"
"rule two: respect me if I have company, better yet leave!"
"You bring a man here don't you Touya?" she could here the malice in him. "but nontheless I agree"
"shut up! I don't!" she yelled. "rule three: respect my personal space and don't bother me unless you're on the floor bleeding to death or whatever. It's best if you just won't bother me"
"sure" he sounded a bit annoyed.
"and lastly" she said,closing her eyes firmly "don't you dare try anything and I mean it. anything or I'll tear you to pieces!"
"like I'd want to do that to you. you're disgusting alright?"
There was silence.
"Am I under the impression" his voice was filled with amusement. "that we just spoke our dorm rules in between a locked door? this is getting really stupid Touya." he tried to twist the knob but it won't budge. "open the bloody door!"
"I told you to respect my personal space. just go to your room and read a book or something" she retorted,looking pointedly at the knob of the door. It was locked, thank God.
"fine" he muttered angrily. "just learn to shut your trap and we can get along just fine"
"that" she replied, calming herself down. "is what you also need to do"
(Y)
She woke up the next morning and refused to go out of bed because she was under the ludicruous impression that Senri Shiki had managed to move here the night before! Isn't that ridiculous? How stupid could her dreams actually get? Gosh, she needs to have her brain checked. It started to utter such impossible probabilities. She remembered though that he had carried his boxes and clothes in here, looking like the damn boss of planet Earth. she scowled. That stupid imbecile, he even had the guts to fight back at her when she could've rightly thrown his clothes outside the room because he was unwelcome. Mind you,Rima had every right to.
Now why on earth, does Rima have this very strong volcano-like dislike towards Senri Shiki. It was very hard to explain, sometimes it was easier if I just say that's how things sometimes are. You meet people and you know you're just bound not to get along with them. Well, it's sort of like that but you see it's also sort of more complicated than that. I don't want to break the greatest secret but you see.. One of them and I'm not going to tell you which one (and if I do I won't tell you!) has a very mystifying it-was-just-there-from-the-start attraction to the other. see?
but which one?
She walked out the door to find him seated on the couch,reading a newspaper with a coffee.
"well if it isn't the whiny crazy deranged woman.." she heard him grunt under his breath.
She sent him an automatic glare. "You do have some habit to overuse adjectives,don't you Shiki? that's really sad. It's starting to sound like word vomit. It's enough for me to vomit literally too. If you want I could even vomit on your lap,I won't regret it"
He rolled his eyes at her and continued to ruffle the paper. "You're disgusting. and between us both, your morning breath reeks even at this far distance here. So I highly suggest you brush your teeth"
Rima watched him with growing lividity. "ha! and who are you? the hygiene fairy?" then she waved her palm in the air. "forget it. You're ruining my morning" then she slammed the door to the bathroom.
"bloody hell Touya" he mumbled.
(Y) (Y)
As she was walking peacefully into the hallway, she thought she saw a shade of brown hair exactly like Ruka's. Narrowing her eyes, she started to follow the woman. Oh she was going to annihilate Ruka without regretting it. that stupid girl!
Slowly, the crowd dispersed and it was a wide space again. Then she realized it wasn't even Ruka, but just some Senior with the exact hair color. Damn she was getting paranoid over this. Another option of course is to report this occurence to Kaname or Takuma. but she doesn't have enough guts to do it, besides, she might be angry at them right now but she still loves her friends like crazy. She can't betray them like this. Fuming, she proceeded to her class.
"Rima" she turned and saw Ruka,making her way towards her.
"Ruka you..moron!" she blurted out. "Oh my God you have no idea how much I want to chop you into pieces right now!" she exclaimed. "Do you realize how much jeopardy I am into? this is Senri! Senri's my bloody roommate can you believe it?"
Ruka grinned and hugged her suddenly. "You have no idea how much you helped me regain my trust back with Kain,Rima" she ruffled her hair. "I'm just so happy that even I could listen to your rant without any disdain"
Rima scowled at her friend and swatted her hands away. "Look, I need you to come back now okay? please! Shiki is just a nightmare! we can't get along. it's just stupid! How do you intend to make it up for me? now that you have what you have please come back!"
Ruka shook her head. "can't,Rima. Kain and I have a lot to catch up on" then she gave a wink.
okay,disgusting.
"Oh, gotta go. I've got History.. see ya!" Ruka waved and dissapeared into the crowd.
"Why you- ugh!" Rima walked away heatedly. "never mind"
(Y)
She arrived back in her dorm, all sweaty and out of breath because she had been running. Anyway it was beside the point, because she really needed to do her homework that was due tomorrow and it was a very long essay,mind you! Unfortunately, she does not have the notes to back her essay up. It was frustrating for her to think about writing freely without the support of the notes from the lecture. Ugh, she was really being scatter-brained today. It was all Shiki's fault. everything was his fault. Damn that stupid bird brain.
She dropped her bookbag on the living room's floor and decided to boil some coffee to make her relax. Then she sighed and returned to the room to spread out her entire homework on the table, still pondering about what to do with her essay. Her notes were limited. It simply wasn't enough. Then she heard a door open and Shiki came out,wearing some sweater under a red shirt. then a thought struck her.
"er,Shiki"
He turned towards her then smirked. "judging from your very calm,almost pleading tone, I can guess that you need something from me"
damn
"go on what is it?" he folded his arms and stood in front of her kneeling figure.
"I need some notes for the english essay due tomorrow. do you have one?" she asked quietly.
He ignored her and went back to his room.
The utter nerve. She even asked nicely! She went back to her books,fuming a bit, and decided to finish her Calculus assignment first,making sure to check and recheck her answers. Then she read some lengthy chapters about world history and made some diagram about it. That was when his door opened again that she realized she spoke too soon. On his hands, were his very thick notes of the english lecture. She smiled in embarassment when he handed it to her.
"Thanks"
"least I could do for unfortunate people" he smirked,eyes gleaming with superiority.
Her smile slid off her face. "what does that mean?" She went back to her work and ignored his comments about just giving up because his notes were too complicated for her vague mind. Then he chuckled before returning to his room,whistling.
"the utter nurve of that wacko" she mumbled. But she can't help but be a bit grateful. just a bit. Hello, she can write even lengthier notes than this. It was just that she.. well, dozed off when the teacher discussed it. there. But she slept because she was so tired. she wasn't exactly lazy. in fact,she loved doing homeworks. It made her think of something more important than annoying trivial things.
She examined his notes and was glad that it was very detailed and legible. not that she'd say that to his face. So with Senri's notes,she started to do her essay quite peacefuly. When she was done, she moved on to her other subjects that required more illustration and calculation. Yes, Rima was a sad person that way. She takes pride into thinking about doing her work so responsibly but she doesn't even know what she's missing out there.
Finally,with lots of grumbles and sighs, Rima was done with all her work. She decided give her sore hands some break and entertained herself into watching the fireplace,crackling wildly across from her. She didn't even bother looking at the clock to know it was well past midnight but she could very well sense that Shiki was asleep and she was the only one up in the silent night.
"Senri? let's take a swim!"
"no thanks I don't swim" then he slowly backed away from the group of skimpy girls who flashed him their biggest smile.
"Oh but senri, we can teach you how" one said,almost crooning. "It's just something like this"
Then the girls suddenly crowded around him that it made him claustrophobic and break into sweat. "look,ladies I don't swim. seriously. Just let me go and I'll sit the hell down." They did not listen to him, they kept tightening around him, making his air supply cut short, it was already so tight that he was losing his sight while his brain was taking in on what was happening very slowly, it remained puzzled and baffled. It was so tight, dear Lord, he could not move. He wished to die instead. All he saw was darkness now and he felt as if someone was sucking out all of his air..
then Senri woke up. He found himself sweating so hard, his breaths were pants while his hands were searching cursorily for his lamp light. He really hated dreams like that. The like of claustrophobic and skimpy girls. ugh. It was just too much to bear.
Tossing his covers aside, he jumped off his bed and opened his door to get to the bathroom. He just needed to splash his face with cold water that's all. He was very impartial of dreams and this one was so peculiar. He wasn't even claustrophobic. On his way there, he noticed a weird figure all wasted on the living room table. It was snoring.
Hell,Touya is snoring.
Annoyed,he walked up to her and stood there to observe her sleeping form he raised his left foot and started to kick her thighs gently. "Touya, wake the hell up. I understand that you want to get connected with all the filth around you but this is too amusing. since you were given a bed I suggest you sleep there. You could even ruin your posture sleeping like this" then he prodded her on the other side and snorted. "not that I care if your posture is ruined."
He sighed when he realized that it was too impossible to wake this nutcase up. He squatted beside her and started to poke her forehead with his finger. "Touya, wake the hell up. I'm not kidding you bint." on a particular poke, he seem to have excerted more force than necessary because Rima's head slid off from the table and unto the carpet beneath her. "bitch" he muttered. but he felt a bit guilty. He wasn't supposed to do that to girls. He stood up,hesitated, then went to her room to get her blanket.
He returned back and was about to cover it on her when he realized that she was in such a ridiculous position. So he righted her up by carrying her (she was heavy, he'd like to add) towards the cushions then covered her with her blanket. Then he hurried to the bathroom to wash her hands (he just touched the annoying girl) and to splash water on his face.
