HIIIII!(So far to my one follower that I hope to keep happy) I'm typing up the 2nd chapter. It's in Shika's POV, unlike the first chapter/ intro….I don't know what else to say…..Well, come take off your mask and join those who love literature…

Disclaimer: I don't own Sekirei, even if I wish I did.

"Hm…Which is better?" I mumbled to myself as I held a box of Cheerios and a box of Fruity Pebbles in my hands.

It'd ben one week since I talked to the Ashikabi and two Sekirei at the coffee shop in the outskirts of town. I'd refused to tell them about me, because I am successfully staying under the Sekirei grid. I'm using a non-MBI funded phone, a non-MBI funded credit card, and non-MBI funds. I know it's impossible to hide from MBI, but other Sekirei will hopefully never find me. Especially if I don't have an Ashikabi having me fight. So, I'm living a normal life, like a human. Everything's peaceful right now. Only minor Sekirei battle have taken place and still about 35% of the Sekirei are un-winged. Sometimes it was good to know that I wasn't really alone, but then I would quickly remember that the percentage got smaller every day. Unlike me, the other Sekirei will find their Ashikabi and fight for them with love and devotion. I can't. That sucks. I continued glaring at the cereal, lost in my decision. Suddenly, an elegant finger tapped on the Cheerios.

"Better for the health." A warm voice answered my quiet question and I looked up. Warm, beautiful, captivating green eyes with small flecks of caramel bore into mine. Not that I noticed. The beautiful face held a breathtaking smile and I gasped, realizing I was staring.

"But," He continued, his face leaning over my shoulder and his body pressed against my back. He moved his long finger to touch the Fruity Pebbles box. "If you're going for something sweet, I recommend Pebbles."

I was frozen for a second before turning my head away and sticking both cereals in my cart. My cheeks blew up in a red flame. My body had a sudden flash of heat before it went away when I looked away from the boy. "And who asked you for an opinion?"

"Well, you, who else?" He looked befuddled, as if the answer was obvious. I was about to make some stupid come-back, but he burst out laughing. He held his sides and then slowly recovered himself. He took a bite off an apple in his hands. "I apologize for my teasing. In all honesty, I saw you standing here with such confusion I had to help you out."

"A real knight in shining armor." I grumbled and began to walk away. He caught onto the side and stood on the metal bar under the cart, making me push him around with me. He leaned in and stared at me. I had an urge to both pull away, the rational thought, and lean in, the irrational, stupid, idiotic, and oh so appeasing idea. I pulled back.

"Where do they make girls like you?" He queered to himself, but I also knew he wanted an answer.

"Like I would tell a stranger my personal information. Now, shoo. I've got shopping to do." I gave him a go-away-before-I-have-to-tell-you-twice look, but he just grinned in amusement. My heart thumped loudly before I shook my head and looked away with a blush, my body starting to get hot.

"There he is! Get him!" I heard a voice from far off call and looked towards it. The store owner and a police man were glaring at the boy.

"Shoot, they've caught up. Well, I guess this is goodbye, my dear." My heart pounded at nickname. He twirled his hand and a purple lily was suddenly in his hand. "Hmmm, almost perfect. A little wilted. I've got to work on that." He reached over and stuck the lily behind my ear. His fingers lingered by my cheek and then moved away. My body was heated and cooled by his soft touch and I almost-almost -whimpered from the exciting feeling. He smiled and tossed me his apple with one bite in it. He started to run off, the owner and police man running closer, still screaming for the boy to stop.

"Why purple?" I blurted out without thinking. He looked back at me over his shoulder, his wavy black hair covering his eyes slightly. My heart gave one loud leap. My body flared up. All from him looking at me in the eye. He smiled wide and my heart thundered loudly and my body felt like it was burning into ashes.

"Because it matches your eyes perfectly!"

And with that, he ran into an employee's only door. I stood frozen by his answer. He shouldn't have known what my eye color is. Nobody does. That's price that comes with overpowered hallucinations. Nobody sees the real me.

So why did he?

And that is chapter 2! I've decided that I'll do a chapter every Sunday and every Monday…Or at least I'll try to stay on track. I'm trying to type as fast as possible, but there are a lot of things that take up my time during the day. So, I'll try to keep my one follower happy!
