No song this time T_T I ran out of ideas.
"Why the hell are you stalking me?" Shura half yelled, slamming her hands down on Mephisto's desk. She wasn't going to play any of his stupid games, this was serious. Well, to her it was. Mephisto didn't even flinch, and his usual smirk stayed in place, irritating her even more. He never took her seriously!
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you being followed?" He asked, resting his chin on his hand and looking up at her with feigned innocence.
"Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about! Yer ugly face has been following me around in my sleep, and I want to know why!" She was yelling now, her patience quickly dwindling. How can he make me this angry so damn fast?!
"Ugly?" he asked, his calm mask fading slightly only to snap back into place. "Though I'm flattered to hear you've been dreaming of me. I'm afraid I can't tell you why, perhaps you should ask yourself that question." His reply made her freeze for a moment, the words echoing throughout her mind. Hadn't he said the same thing to her in her dream?
She had him pinned to the floor in a second, barely registering the quick movement herself. She was reacting without thinking, a dangerous thing to do around him, but this wasn't the first time. Once again she found herself straddling his waist; and once again he was staring right at her chest. Dammit, didn't I learn from last time? This isn't helping the situation! This bastard..how does he do this to me? I'm not usually this reckless!
"The answers obvious, isn't it? I'm just denying the truth." She said, gauging his reaction carefully. His expression didn't even change. Why is he always so hard to read?!
"And what truth might that be, hm?" he said, glancing up at her eyes and smirking even more. She looked into the reptilian pupils surrounded by forest green, becoming more aware of how close they were. It was a lot closer than last time, but instead of jumping away like before, she glared hard at him. She wasn't giving up no matter what.
"Like you don't know."
"Maybe I just like hearing it."
"And maybe I'd just like to know what you're up to."
"We all want to know things, Shura dear. Even a demon like me has a thirst for knowledge. But we can't always get what we want, can we? There are some things we aren't supposed to know. And then..there are other things that come at a price. What would you give to obtain knowledge, Miss Kirigakure?" He asked, looking a little too serious for her liking.
"Quit talking like that, ya jackass. Yer too damn complicated."
"Perhaps, and yet you haven't gotten off. Why is that, I wonder?"
"I ain't leaving without answers. I'll keep bugging you until I get them."
"So stubborn. But I'm afraid I really don't have the answers you desire."
"Fine. Then I guess I'll just sit here until you find them." She said, sitting back and crossing her arms childishly. Mephisto smirked, eyes instantly going back down to her chest.
"I don't have a problem with that." He said, wincing as she punched him in the side.
"Stupid perverted baldy." She grumbled, ignoring the onslaught of flutters in her stomach. She hated being so close to him, especially when she couldn't predict his next move. He could turn the tables in the blink of an eye if he wanted. Plus, touching him just felt weird. Why wasn't she getting up again? I need answers..if I don't get them now, I'll never be able to sleep normally. This is the only way. I'm not enjoying it at all.
"Someone's thinking too hard~" He sang, once again wincing as she punched him. "So cruel. Is that any way to treat your superior? Didn't anyone tell you to respect your elders?"
"Demons don't count, especially if they're as old as you."
"You don't know how old I am."
"I know you're at least a thousand, probably more. You definitely look old." She said, smirking as he narrowed his eyes.
"I do not look old." He said, voice dangerously low. Anyone with half a brain would run right about now, but Shura wasn't scared of him. In fact, she found it highly amusing.
"Eh, ya kinda do. You could pass for someone's grandpa. In fact, I think I see a gray hair." She said, reaching for his bangs only to stop as a gloved hand suddenly gripped her wrist.
"I would suggest you take that back." He said, smirk completely gone. Shura didn't even bat an eyelash.
"Why should I? Cause ya want me to? We all want things, remember?"
She blinked as she was suddenly on the floor, his full weight keeping her down. His eyes were far too close to hers, and she belatedly realized the tables had officially turned. She was in trouble now. He had the upper hand, not that she ever had it in the first place.
"Indeed, we all want things. But do you know what I really want?" He asked, watching as she narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him.
"No.." She replied cautiously, wondering where this was going. Her heart nearly stopped beating when he leaned in more, his eyes glancing down at her lips. Is he..? Are we about to..? What the hell is happening?! Move, body, move!
"What I really want more than anything, is-"
Shura heard a knock at the door, and then suddenly she was cramped under his desk between his legs. She blinked as she tried to process what just happened, and then stiffened as a familiar voice filled the room. How did he even get me under here so fast? Stupid demon..I shouldn't have to hide. But then again, if I come out now it's gonna be hard to explain. Guess I'm stuck..
"Sir Pheles, the exwires have completed their mission." Yukio said, looking oddly tired. Shura heard his footsteps stop just in front of the desk which thankfully hid her.
"Very good Mr. Okumura. Were there any problems?" Mephisto asked as Shura felt herself growing bored. Listening to them talk about missions was the last thing she wanted to do.
"Well..Rin somehow managed to blow a building up. Luckily it was abandoned and was going to demolished anyways, but it did scare a few people."
"Did he use his sword?"
"No, sir."
"Very well, punish him as you see fit. Is there anything else I should know about?"
"Well..Miss Kirigakure didn't show up today, and her class told me she was asleep and then suddenly left. She was apparently in a hurry. Have you seen her?" Yukio asked, regaining Shura's attention.
"I'm afraid I haven't. I'm sure she's slacking off somewhere though." Mephisto replied, biting his tongue as Shura punched him in the shin.
"You're probably right." Yukio sighed, irritating her more. "I guess I won't bother looking for her. Thank you for your time, Sir Pheles."
"Thank you, Mr. Okumura." He said, waiting until the door was fully closed to stand and let Shura out. Not two seconds later he was back on the floor.
"You damn clown! What was that all about?! I never slack off!" She yelled, gripping his collar and shaking him for good measure.
"Well, you do drink a lot. And you fell asleep in class. Not to mention the fact that you left your students to come here. I'm honored that you wanted to see me so bad, but you do have responsibilities."
"They can wait. I came here for answers, now I have even more questions."
"Oh? Tell me what's on your mind." He said, the same irritating smirk from before coming back. Shura resisted the urge to just take out her sword and run him through. We're going in circles!
"You, and that's a problem. First you act all weird in Kyoto, and then you go acting all nice after Lucifer declared war, and now yer in my dreams?! Plus you never told me what you wanted cause that four eyed chicken ruined it!"
"If I recall, you were the one who acted strange in Kyoto. I never asked you to get so close to me. Second, I couldn't let a lady hurt herself even more when she should have been resting. I'm a gentleman, after all. And I already told you I don't know why I keep appearing in your dreams. Ah, and what I want is quite simple."
"Then why don't you make this simple and just say it?" She growled, wondering how much trouble she would get in for killing him. It's not like the Grigori particularly liked him.
"I want the same thing you want."
Shura nearly fell over, his response floored her. That didn't help at all.
"What the hell does that mean?!"
"It means what it means. What do you want, Miss Kirigakure?"
"Answers!"
"So you rushed over here for answers, and then what? What happens when you get answers?"
"Well.." She had to pause and remember what exactly made her rush over here. She wanted these dreams to stop, but she also wanted to know if he felt what she felt. She knew something had changed between them, but did he?
Even if he does..then what? If we both admit that something's different, what will happen? It's not like we would..be together. That would be beyond weird. And if he says nothing's changed, then will I keep having these dreams? Will I feel any better? Ugh, now I have even more questions!
"What do you want?"
What do I want? Dreaming of him isn't that bad..And if something has changed, shouldn't I want to be with him? And he wants what I want, apparently. So if I get the answers I need, we'll end up together?
"Then we both get what we want."
"Exactly. Since you managed to figure it out, I suppose I'll give you some answers."
Hah..that didn't make much sense, did it? Everything's always a mystery with Mephisto T_T Even I'm confused. It'll make more sense in the next chapter..I think. Possibly. Hopefully?
