The Game
Natalia tossed and turned all night. Kiku's words playing nonstop in her dreams. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." They followed her, haunted her, but it was a weirdly pleasant haunting. Why? Why could she not get him out of her head? She was supposed to get married to her brother, not her brother's enemy.
Natalia gets so lost in thought that she burns the eggs she was making for Ivan. When she coughs and looks down at the pan she scowls and remakes the eggs. She finishes the eggs and walk to her brother's office.
Natalia peers through his door to see her brother working on his paperwork. She gets past the broken door and set the eggs on his desk without a second look at the now shivering Ivan.
I van watches as his sister leave the room. He blinks shocked and marvels at the fact that she left without saying or doing anything. Ivan wonders what brought about this change in behaver.
Natalia walks into her room and pack a small bag with a few of her things. She is going to pay a visit to Kiku. Maybe that will help settle things. She grabs the bag and walks back to her brother's office.
"Nii-san! I am going to be gone for two days, okay." Natalia said
"What? Where to, da?" Ivan said instantly interest who should he thank for this gift.
"Kiku's." Natalia states without turning around.
Kiku's? Now he really must thank him. Natalia leaves for the airport.
Kiku is startled awake by the sound of his cell phone buzzing. He looks at the number and realized it was Russia's house phone. Thinking it is Natalia he quickly answers it.
"Hello." Kiku answers.
"Kiku, da. I must thank you." Ivan says in a sugar glazed tone.
"Thank me? For what?" Kiku says in a lazy yawn.
"You'll see da." And with that Ivan hangs up.
Kiku sits silent for a moment. What did Ivan mean by "you will see"? There is a sharp knock on his front door. Kiku jumps, and drags himself to the door.
"Hell-Natalia?" Kiku states out tiredly. Did he fall asleep again?
"Kiku, I need to talk to you." Natalia says grabbing the front of his shirt and dragging him to the couch in the next room. (Don't ask me how she knew it was there.) Kiku startled starts to become very depressed thinking that she really was mad at him.
Natalia goes over and sits down in the chair across from him sting at him with no expression. Kiku Sunk deeper. Could the woman of his dreams really hate him?
"Why?" Natalia asks suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Kiku ask confused.
"Why do you like me, think that I am beautiful? You do not know me. You did not even know my name." She sneers.
Kiku is taken aback at this. He did not know why he really liked her. Was it because of her beauty, or was it because of the lure-like Aura around her. He was not quite sure.
"I do not know." He says honestly. "I... Just do. Does everything have to have a reason? There are so many things we think and feel, but we cannot explain it. Like the fact that I love you."
Natalia is silent for a moment. "I want to play a game." She states.
"Game?" Kiku asks.
"Yes, you need to prove how much you love me. Depending on how well you play, depends on whether you are better then Nii-san or not." She states simply. "So are you going to play?"
"Hai." Kiku says, and after that comment Natalia gets up and leaves, Kiku sees her off.
