Mizore
It's been two weeks since the flower ceremony, and I still can't think straight. Something is… off. I should be even more in love with Tskune after he risked everything to save my life. But I haven't stalked him in days… I'm so confused. What's-
"Mizore? Can you please give the class an answer?"
"Oh! Um… 69," I said sarcastically. Ms. Ririko always made a deal of calling on her students whenever they were zoned out and it's pretty damn annoying.
"That's… correct," she said sort of shocked. I bit back a smile as I heard a few kids laugh. Kurumu and Tskune both looked back at me. Tskune with a weirded out look on his face and Kurumu with a devilish smirk. I blushed a little and winked at Tskune, making them both turn around. I was a little disappointed that they both did; I don't know what reaction I WAS expecting though. Instead I went back to carving Tskune's name on my desk. It's a habit I picked up that I hadn't even noticed until three days ago. His name must've been carved almost a thousand times with my ice claws. It made me wonder what people who used this desk next period must think about the person sitting here. I stopped myself when I realized what I was doing so instead of "Tskune", it read "Tsku."
"I'm so confusing," I whispered to myself. Then I drifted off again barely noticing my ice claws finishing where I'd left off.
I walked around campus a bit, but of course, in my wandering, I only ended up on my regular paths and was within sight of Tskune the entire time which bothered me a little. It eased my irritation knowing that I managed to stay away from him when he was alone. He was always with somebody when I was watching. Usually Moka or Kurumu.
"Do I do ANYTHING that doesn't revolve around this guy," I asked myself in disbelief. I looked back and saw Kurumu tackle him from behind, pressing her breasts against him and walked away disgusted.
"Tskune's great and all… but I don't get it. He's obviously way too in love with Moka to even care about the rest of us… Kurumu tries so hard… he doesn't really deserve all that attention now does he…?"
He has saved our lives and all… a bunch of times… but… "UGH!"
I put my hands behind my neck and dropped down on my back gazing up at the hazy clouds over Yokai.
"Do you really not like Tskune anymore," I asked myself out loud. I've put so much work, so much time into Tskune, it's such a waste to give up now, but… I guess that's not what I want. Who I really want is…
The name was familiar. On the tip of my tongue; the back of my mind… but I just couldn't think of it.
"Oh well… time to move on, I guess."
I got up after a few minutes of cloud gazing and walked across campus towards class.

Kurumu

I got to class just as the bell rang. I glared at Moka on the way in; she was just peeling herself off of Tskune's arm before I walked in.
"Damn that vampire chick," I thought to myself. "I can't BELIEVE I'm losing to THAT!"
I sat down in my seat in between him and Mizore. She still wasn't in class yet but it wasn't an odd thing for her to-
"Hey there Kurumu… watching the show?"
I almost jumped out of my seat.
"Oh! Dammit Mizore. You almost scared me half to death!"
"And we wouldn't want that now would we," she said, her voice a little weird.
"You alright there ice queen? You catching a cold or something?"
I might have been hallucinating, but I could swear Mizore… grinned a that; just for a second. Weird.
"No. Although I have been feeling a little different lately."
"Different how," I asked a little concerned. Mizore is one of those girls who barely ever talk, so for her to say she's not feeling well is a little concerning.
"I don't know… just different…"
"It's not about what that creep did to you a couple of weeks ago is it?"
"No! No… it's not that… I…"
"A kiss is just a kiss… remember?" I reached up and touched her hand and smiled at her. She continued looking past me, but smiled back. I tried to follow her eyes and realized she was looking at Tskune. After a second, she rolled her eyes and
looked back to her desk. I started to take my hand back but I felt another cold hand wrap around mine, holding me.
"Thanks… thank you…"
"No problem Mizore," I said with a smile. I squeezed her hand gently and she hesitantly let go. The bell rang for class to begin and we settled into our seats. The entire period I felt her glance in my direction. Tskune was alone as Moka was sitting in front of him next to Yukari. He was unprotected.
"She's probably just plotting to get at Tskune… She won't win," I thought to myself. Tskune's MINE. I looked over at Mizore and caught her eye. I winked and stuck out my tongue at her. She quickly turned away and looked out the window. I smiled a little. Poor Mizore. She'll never get to Tskune like that.
