WEIRD THINGS HAPPEN

Part 1

He just doesn't get it. And I really don't get it how you need to say things straight to men 'cause otherwise they don't get it. Oh, that sentimental moment when he grabbed my hair... ah well. That ended up to be farce too. So I should give up on him and start going out with Ryoo. At least he asked me out unlike someone unmentioned.

"Ayano? You look worried. What are you thinking?" Aah. Here comes the idiot. I'm thinking about you and your non-existing brains.

"Nothing really. Let's go." I answered. He made a worried face and held out his hand. I took it. He pulled me close and set off to the sky.

My mind started to wander back to my troubled thoughts. What was he thinking at times like this? When he carried me here in never ending sky with my life on his hands. Literally. Was he thinking about me? Or the mission? What did he think about me? What did I mean to him? Was I just the daughter of his former family and current payer? Or friend? Maybe something more? I tightened my grip on his shirt. Then I decided that my thoughts were headed in dangerous areas. Maybe this mission would make me think about something else.

"Ayano?" He asked. I lifted my face up.

"What?" I didn't mean it to sound so rough. Silence.

"Nevermind." That was new. He has never had problems with talking.

"Tell me." I said with gentle voice.

"You are probably going to be mad." He said. With SERIOUS face. Totally weird.

"It's not like you to worry over my feelings." I said and lifted my brow. He avoided my gaze. He avoided my gaze.

"Kazuma. What's wrong? You're acting weird." Worry could be heard from my voice. We were close our destination and he started to lower our flying altitude. Soon we were on the ground and he let me out of his hold. I watched him to turn his back on me.

"Your dad wants public to think that.. you and me... that we are couple." He said in low voice. My body stiffened. I couldn't speak. My mind was empty. Silence went on. We stood like that for what felt like a decade but really was only few minutes. He didn't turn. I tried to think something to say. In the end nothing came in my mind.

"Let's just finish this mission..." I said quietly. He looked at me over his shoulder.

"Guess your dad didn't tell you about it." He said. I examined his face carefully. On his face was expression that I had never seen before. Strange.

"What about it? Let's just kick some youma ass like always? He never tells me if it isn't anything big." I said carefully. Without my notice I hugged myself.

"Todays mission is to make out in public." He said emotionlessly.

"WHAT!" I was shocked.

"That old perverted geezer what is he thinking? Am I some kind of a... whore? How can he expect me to kiss every guy he wants me to? Don't I get to say any word in this? I can't believe him-" Kazuma put his hand on my mouth.

"Could you stop talking unnecessary things?" He said glaring behind his back. I nodded in confusion. What was he looking at?

Suddenly he turned face to face with me and said:

"There is one chick from the press who is doing article of your family. Remember?" I nodded again. He spoke so fast it was hard to see sense in his words. "She wasn't happy with material that your father gave her so she is trying to dig something out herself. Your father found this out and only way to get her out of family business is to give her something to write about." I nodded. His hand was still on my lips. "That's where we come in. Family heir is having affair with banished wind user." I stared at him in disbelief. He saw my gaze. "Hey, it wasn't my idea!" I lifted my hands to move his hand away from my mouth.

"He couldn't think of ANYTHING else?" I said still in disbelief.

"Nothing we can do now. She is almost here." He grinned a little and wrapped his hands around me. I felt my cheeks go red. And then when I looked over his shoulder I saw her. She walked in the park (yes we were in park, I realized) and when she saw us she quickly sat on the nearest seat and started to take out her camera and notebook. I buried my face into Kazumas chest. I heard him laugh a bit.

"So you're already in the mood?" He asked with smile on his face. I blushed again.

"Le-Let's just give her proper show." I stuttered without looking at him in the eye.

He lifted me up from the ground and made few pirouettes. My blush strengthened.

"Wh-wha-what are you doing..!" Kazuma just smiled at me and put me down still grinning. He bowed so that he could whisper in my ear.

"I just want to see what she is doing." He said. I realized that now my back was against the reporter woman. I sighed. He looked at me with the same strange face. I bend my head to left in confusion. Again. I was really confused today. Suddenly I was very aware of his hands which were placed on my hips. And it felt good. The blush on my face wouldn't go down for days, I foretold to myself. Kazuma was looking at my face.

"You know, your expression changes quite frequently." He laughed. I tried to look angry. Without success. Then he bend down on me and kissed me. I shocked. First I couldn't do anything. I just stood there. He ran his hand from my back to my neck. Then I relaxed and kissed him back. After all this was scene from my loveliest dreams, wasn't it? Then why it felt... wrong? Something wasn't right here. I pushed him away. That's right. He didn't do this because he liked me. He got paid from it.

"Ayano? What's wrong?" I shot my angriest glance at him.

"Everything." I said and lifted my hand on his cheek. He looked surprised. It would look like lovers goodbye to the reporter. Then I turned around and walked away. When I passed the reporter I smiled innocently at her. When I was out of the park I started running.

And I didn't stop till I was in my room. I stood in the middle of my room and took deep breaths. Then I threw myself to my bed. I realized tears on my face. I turned my radio on. When I heard the song I started to cry again. It was Bryan Adams's Everything I Do. I buried my face on my pillow and cried myself to sleep.

I woke up. Someone had covered me with blankets and turned the radio off. I got up and went to take shower.

"Dad can I go on to mission?" I looked at him with my puppy eyes. He looked stunned.

"You want to go on mission?" He asked.

"Yeah..?"

"Oh. Kazuma is in guest room. He was worried when you ran off like that." He said and smiled.

"DAD! I want to go alone!" No way I would talk to Kazuma for long time.

"Alone? But... How can you and Kazuma be seen as an couple if you go kissing someone else? I won't allow you to have other sexual relationships." He ordered. It was like an blow to stomach. I inhaled roughly.

"I don't want to have sexual relationship with Kazuma! And I don't want to go kissing someone! I want to go kick some Youma ass!" I yelled at him. He looked surprised. I got up and opened the door. I almost dashed against Kazuma who was standing behind the door. He looked stunned. I shot angry glance at him and formed words "I can't believe you" with my mouth. I stormed out of the Kannagi grounds and rushed through the sleepy city.

My destination was abandoned house in the woods near the southern gate of the city. Citizens said it was haunted. I said it was full of youmas. I arrived. House looked tough. That was good. It wouldn't collapse when I started to mess around with Enraiha. I grinned and walked in.

I destroyed every youma from downstairs I stood in front of staircase. From upstairs I heard growl. I sensed powerful youma. I smiled and set my foot on the first step.

I walked towards the last door. I had opened every door in the corridor and in every room there had been youma. And the closer I got to the last door the youmas got more powerful. But they couldn't beat me. Though my top didn't have other epaulet anymore and my jeans had holes, but basically I was unharmed. I stopped in front of the door and took deep breath. Disgusting smell. And youma's presence was much bigger than the others had been. It wouldn't be a problem if Kazuma were here. But I didn't want him here. I wanted to test my own power. I lifted my hand to open the door.

Suddenly I felt someone to grab my shoulder.

"If I were you I wouldn't go there." Familiar voice said.

"Well good thing you aren't me!" I hissed and shook Kazuma's hand from my shoulder. We looked at each other for few seconds. Then he sighed to my defiant attitude.

"Please just come home. Your dad is worried."

"Come home? Now you're living there too?" I asked ironically.

"Ayano." Now was my turn to sigh.

"I don't want to go there." I said. I couldn't decide who I was more angry; Kazuma or dad.

"Then come to my place." He said it like it was nothing. My jaw almost dropped.

"Wh-why should I?" I stuttered.

"It's safe place for you to be. Your dad would be relieved." He said casually.

"B-bu-bu-but what about that youma?" There had to be some way to get out of that situation. He sighed.

"I'll go deal with. Deal?"

"Deal" I crossed my fingers. He opened the door and went in. I ran. Down the stairs, out of the door, in to the woods.

I had only passed few trees when he came from the sky and landed in front of me.

"Why are you running away from me?" He asked.

"Why are you coming after me?" I shot back. He lifted one eyebrow.

"Why wouldn't I? After all you're the precious heir." I felt tears in my eyes.

"So you're saving the fragile heir from the world, huh?" I screamed. He didn't even blink.

"You don't like to be saved?" He asked.

"That's not the point!" I cried. Now he blinked.

"Gosh Ayano! I don't follow you." He said.

"Of course you don't! I doubt you have even brains!" I insulted him.

"Hey!"

"Can't I ever do anything I want? Why always somebody decides for me? Can't I even decide who I go out with?" I sobbed.

"So that's the reason." He sighed.

"You don't know what it is like! Don't act like you understand me!" I screamed again. He came closer and hugged me.

"I didn't say that I understand you." He whispered in my ear. I hiccuped. Kazuma stroked my hair gently. Why was he so nice to me? I grabbed his shirt to my fists and cried. He comforted me as I cried out all my worries.

I didn't know how long I cried. I didn't remember everything I had told him as I cried. I didn't know how we had ended sitting in the ground. He was sitting in the ground and I sat on his lap.

"I think you passed out." He said.

"mmh" I murmured.

"Feeling better?" Kazuma asked.

"Why are you so kind to me?" I whispered.

"I guess I like you." He half smiled. I felt stunned. Had I said something about my unrequited love for him? I opened my mouth just to close it without getting any words out. He looked amused. I tried to smile. Then he bend down on me and kissed me. This time I didn't have any strange feelings. After awhile I pulled back.

"Guess we don't need to act anymore." I said with little smile. He smiled back. I realized I had never seen his real smile before. And now he smiled for me.
