I loved him there was no two ways about it and I'd come to that sad conclusion after the whole incident with the spiders grudge. It had pissed me off to no end that he'd scarified his left eye for me because it proved what I'd feared for so long, that he had no self-preservation. But something else had annoyed me as well, the fact that he'd done something so reckless for me, me who he had sworn was his worst enemy. I feared that he might want to see his sacrifice as an equaliser for all the times I'd helped him and that he would use it as an excuse to stop talking to me. I'd panicked and did everything in my power to return his eye to normal, to keep him. I asked 'that woman' to help and studied my grandfather's books on curses day and night to find a way. That's when I'd stopped and thought 'why are you going to all this trouble?' Watanuki was an annoying loud baka that I only kept around because I'd pitied him that day I'd caught him standing alone in the rain.
"I'll die like this to. Alone"
I shiver when I think about it now but then I'd just decided that no one should be alone so I'd started to hang around with him. So how had I gone from that to feeling a desperate need to keep him by me for my own selfish reasons? I think it was the moment that damn bookworm ate the possible answer to retuning his eyesight, the feeling I got was so agonising like I had a gaping hole inside that made me want to shout and throw things (which I never want to do) that I realised I had possible feelings for Watanuki. My suspicion was confirmed when he yet again bounded at the chance to kill himself to go save Zashiki-warashi, Yuko had turned up at my temple and told me what he had gone to do and I'd lost my cool. I'd yelled at her like it was her fault and she had just stared not even fazed by the fact that I'd never shouted at anyone before.
"He wont get the sight of his left eye back it will be lost"
She'd said it so simple and lazy like she didn't care but I knew she did. That's when I'd asked if I could give Watanuki half of my sight from my left eye which she said was possible. I was warned that if Watanuki got emotional that I'd share his vision and he would share mine, but I liked that idea of being able to tell when he was getting emotional, now that had worried me. There was no hesitation in giving Yuko half the sight of my left eye and even though she told me that Watanuki had every right to refuse it I prayed he'd accept it. When I slept that night I had a dream of a pale beauty with black hair that fell into his miss-match eyes, one blue the other golden. That was the best sleep I've ever had.
So yes I am in love with Watanuki Kimihiro but even if he doesn't feel the same way then I didn't mind I'd stay by his side to protect him in anyway.
"Are you saying you meet with my Grandfather in your dream last night?" I said splashing cool face on my sweaty face. I was in my archery gear and I had just finished morning practise.
"Yeah. His name was Haruka-san right?" Watanuki asked.
"Yes" I began to dry my face with my towel snatching quick looks at the seer's flawless face.
"He looks a lot like you when he smokes" his voice was odd like stuck in a daydream, I hated when he was like that I don't like him to worry to much on the weird things that happen around.
I decided to lightened his mood, "now that you mention it, my Grandfather does look like me when he was younger."
I say lighten his mood he pulled his trademark pissed off face and flailed his arms for a moment. Then he was serious again, "You're Grandfather passed away, right?" there was a deep sad look in his eyes, I know he hates to think of loved ones passing on as he'd lost his parents. I nodded and told him that he died when I was in fifth-grade. He seemed to shake himself back to the conversation, "Then I wonder why he appears so young in my dreams. No wait before I think about that why is he in my dreams in the first place."
"My Grandfather said you and him were 'similar' in a way?"
"Yes."
"Then if that is true, then I guess something will happen." Watanuki's eyes filled with a cute kinda of naïve curiosity that made him look more like a kitten than usual. I resisted a smirk as I always do and continued, "The reason is that not only can he kill evil things, he can predict them."
Watanuki looked at my blankly for a second then said, "Haruka-san is a mysterious person." He looked mysterious in his own way when he spoke, he reminded me too much of 'that woman' which I didn't like.
I wanted to change the subject, "you mentioned earlier that my Grandfather told you to bring along with you a balloon."
"Yeah, that's why I brought it along but when I saw Kohane-chan I gave it to her" he stated happily. Now I know he was doing it to make Kohane-chan happy but he's such an idiot sometimes. My grandfather would have told him to bring it to give to her if that's what he'd meant but if all he said was to…I noticed he was still talking. "…that's why he told me to bring it."
I just stared at him closely as thought waiting for something horrible to happen, the horrible feeling settled in my stomach as he continued. "Ah, also I gave Kohane-chan your share of lunch. That's why you need to buy your own today." He was smirking as though he'd expect me to get angry but all I was pissed about at the moment was his good mature. When I didn't reaction to his statement he blew up, "EVEN IF YOU MAKE THAT FACIAL EXPRESSION IF IT'S GONE ITS GONE!"
"'Give the balloon to that girl', is that what my Grandfather said?" I asked ignoring his outburst.
Watanuki looked startled, "Eh? No Haruka-san just told me to bring it with me today; he said nothing about giving it to someone."
I wanted to curse the heavens in frustration or at least yell at the seer but since that wasn't my style I simply said, "Then that means he meant not to give it anybody." Watanuki agreed with me so I asked him (as casually as I could) "Are you sure your fine without the balloon?"
He smiled that gorgeous soft smile of his and said lightly, "its fine. Since I gave it to Kohane-chan."
I wanted to smile with him but a) I was too annoyed at him to forgive his stupidity just yet and b) he'd probably just accuse me of making fun of him if I smiled. I sighed at the situation, "Wait for me today, after my archery class."
"Ah, why?" but I was already walking away. "I ASKED YOU WHY! AH? IT'S BECAUSE OF LUNCH ISNT IT WELL ITS STILL NOT GOING TO BE THERE!"
God Watanuki you baka be safe.
There you go first chapter the next 1 is up to since this is only a two-shot. Also I'm working on my punctuation because I know it sucks ass sometimes so I'm sorry if it's bad. R&R people….Danni
