"Want to go Toranoya after school?" a note read from Hitomi's desk. She glanced at Toramaru. She gave a brief nod, then resumed her work.
Despite their week of friendship, Toramaru couldn't find out anything about her other eye and her family. It was still a mystery to Toramaru and he would find out, no matter what.
At the Toranoya, Hitomi slid into a booth.
"Where is Toramaru…?" she wondered. Punctuality was one of the things Hitomi was very fussy about.
She looked up as she noticed a waiter was speaking to her.
"May I take your order?" the waiter grinned and slid into the seat opposite to her.
This was one of the rare times Hitomi was left speechless.
"W-what… Toramaru!" Hitomi stuttered.
Toramaru grinned back. "I work here."
Hitomi raised her eyebrows with interest.
"Um-hm." Hitomi narrowed her eyes. A devilish grin was on her face. "One chocolate milkshake, waiter Toramaru!"
Toramaru sighed, but laughed. He left the table.
A few moments later, he emerged from the kitchen with two chocolate milkshakes. On had chocolate sauce on top, spelling the initials KH. Kawano Hitomi.
Hitomi smiled in delight. "Thanks."
But Toramaru noticed that, as Hitomi dipped her head to try the drink, he could've sworn that her face was dark and clouded with sorrow.
Meanwhile, Hitomi was thinking.
The only other person ever to do this is onii-chan. Inside herself she was having conflict.
Stop it! Onii-chan is not onii-chan anymore!
A stab of pain shot through her chest as she thought of it.
The thing that happened.
That made her hide her true self from the rest of the world.
Short chapter. Sorry guys, but since you want an update so bad...
Hitomi: Thank YOU for making me unlike myself.
Me: Very funny.
Hitomi: NOT.
Me: Ha ha!
Hitomi: Grr...
Toramaru: Here's your order.
Hitomi: *blush*
Me: *point at them*
Hitomi: STOP it!
Me: LOL
