My Love, My Heart
Haruka…
How do I feel about Haruka? About all that's happened, all we've been through, and what do I think of it all? We're still on the train, I was so tired, I couldn't even open my eyes anymore, when I got back to my seat, my eyes just closed and my head was resting unto Haruka's shoulder. I don't know why, it's just that I felt so exhausted, so tired. Haruka didn't seem to mind.
Still I can't help but ask myself, what do I really feel for Haruka? This question has been circling in my head I can't even find an answer anymore, but then another question arose in my head, what did Haruka feel about me? How did he feel about me?
"Kantarou, we're here" I slowly opened my eyes, everything was blurry before they focused, I rubbed my left eye with a clenched fist.
"A-Already? That was fast…" I mumbled, I had to shake my head just to chase away the last reminisces of sleep, I still feel a bit light headed, I could barely feel my legs, is that normal for someone who only took a nap for a little while? I don't think so do you? "It wasn't really that fast, it was hours" Haruka seemed to be agitated as he stood, towering above me, he was like a giant.
My head was still a bit sleepy and Muu-chan was already tugging at my Hakama giving me the signal that it is time to go. She'd make a handy alarm clock…then again that job has been rightfully taken by Youko-chan. "Well aren't you coming? Or are you going to sit here all day?"
"Oh no, I'm coming I'm Co-" I think I might've stood up too quickly because before I knew it I was flying from tripping over my feet, I knew this was going to hurt a bit, how I knew, well this is coming from someone who was punched and tossed by Hasumi and demons too many times that he actually keeps a count of it, a thousand and fifty by now in my calculations
Grab
"You okay?" I opened my eyes to see that Haruka had caught me, my eyes blinked a couple of times and I could feel my cheeks heating up. Haruka's holding me, holding me, well I guess you would know the drill by now, but this is something that can overwhelm me to a great amount.
I squeaked immediately pushing him away "Y-Yeah, I'm fine, thank you"
"Kantarou your blushing again"
Oh come on!! Not again, Muu-chan seemed to have noticed also "I-I'm…not" lamest excuse that I have ever came up with. I would've yelled but then I didn't want to make a scene, so I just rushed past Haruka, sadly I must've been rushing so fast that I tripped over my feet and again Haruka grabbed me around the waist this time. "Are you okay? Do you want me to carry you to the hotel?"
Talk about adding insult to injury…
"No, I can get there b-by myself…" why am I stuttering, oh Kami-sama why am I stuttering? I still can't get over the fact that Haruka's arm was still around my waist and the fact that he didn't let go didn't slip past me either, not one single bit and it wasn't in fact making me feel any better.
"H-Har-Haruka, you can let go now…"
So after that little mishap we both finally got off the train and who would be waiting to give me a beating than Ryokan Hasumi himself? He had his arms folded, tapping his foot away and trying to look as threatening as possible, which is working for the countless of small children that were clutching to their parents and whispering that Hasumi 'Looks frightening'
They don't know the half of it!
"How long were you planning to stay on the train for Ichinomiya?!" I cringed at that tone of voice, makes me think he's a demon of sorts. He must be possessed so I mentally placed a hand unto one of my talismans just in case something like that does happen.
"I was a little bit sleepy, okay, man Hasumi your very crab it" for some reason that only agitated the guy further. Since when was Hasumi never agitated?
"Forget it Hasumi, let's just get to the hotel, then its relaxation all the way" Oh Kami-sama thank you for letting me meet Youko-chan, I could hug her, then again I get the feeling that someone would get jealous, I don't know why though?
(Haruka: Damn straight Kantarou: Ano…)
"Should we go then Rosalie-chan" Rosalie nodded, clasping her hand unto Youko's, they look so cute together it was enough for me to go awe, it looks like something that you'd see from a painting, if only I was good at art, sadly though the only thing I can draw is a stick man never mind a man or a woman. Muu-chan brought me out of another stupor by pulling my hakama
"Okay, I'm coming, I'm coming, I wonder where Lord Sugino is? He said he was going to meet us here didn't he?" I looked around the area to see if there was any sign of him, continuing to walk around the place, the hotel wasn't far
"He'll show up eventually, Kantarou…are you sure that your okay?"
"Yes, why shouldn't I be?" I could hear a growling sound but I dismissed it as something from my imagination "Because you look a bit tired, plus your wobbling…" the thing is, he's right, I am a bit tired and my feet feel like jelly, no matter how hard I hide stuff like this, he would always see through it. That was one of the many things that I'm grateful for.
"I'm alright, really…no need to worry"
"If that's true then why are your feet wobbling?" Darn it! He noticed! Ever since we left the train my legs just continued to wobble "I'm not" why can't he just let it slide, damn it! "You are Kantarou, let me carry you at least" I can't even believe with some of the things he's saying, this isn't like him at all…
"Haruka I'm okay, what is with you toda-" I jumped, for some reason, an arm looped under my knees, raising them off the ground while another one went unto my back. I couldn't help but make a little shriek, my arms wrapping around his neck, it was done unconsciously I swear! "H-Haruka! W-What?"
"Shh…just let me carry you…until we get to the hotel okay?" he whispered, so as a sucker, I gave up knowing that I wouldn't be able to stop him, I could use the name contract but then that seems a bit too cruel, I relaxed into his warmth, my head was spinning and I think I'm blushing again, that seems to be happening a lot lately. If Suzu was here, I bet she would shriek in anger right about now…
Suzu…
I missed her, I miss her everyday, it just seems a bit different around here without Suzu-chan, Rosalie even liked her to the extent of them being like sisters, she must feel pretty lonely now that Suzu-chan has…
Passed on…
"Kantarou…do you know who Haruka's in love with?" I looked at her, a bit puzzled; I wonder why Suzu-chan is asking me? I wouldn't know if Haruka was in love, the only time was when he was with Yuri did it seem obvious. Then the thought of what happened to Yuri saddened me, just remembering the look on Haruka's face, it was, so heart breaking…
"He loves Yuri doesn't he?" Suzu for some reason huffed at me angrily
"You don't know?!" I cringed a bit, the hairs on the back of my neck rose a little, that usually doesn't happen with children does it? "Doesn't Haruka-san talk to you with stuff like that?" I shock my head; the thought of it now, seemed to have distracted me from my precious manuscript.
"No, he usually keeps to himself…I don't like to pry into his personal life…"I don't know why but it only seemed to make Suzu angrier with me, why is that?
"Were you in love with anyone Kantarou?" hm? I tilted my head towards the grey ceiling that was strange; I never expected a question like that before. "Well it's just, you never seem to talk about your personal life either and you don't get a chance with many girls so I thought…"
Love…
Hm…
"Was I ever in love?" I asked myself… "You mean you were never in love Kantarou?" Hm…I tried to think of something but no one that I would consider my first love came into my head, because my mother was so busy since father died and I tried the best I could to help her so I guess I never had enough time to fall in love like most boys do…
"No…I don't think I ever was…"
"Why?" I was a little bit shocked at that, but I decided, she's young she probably needs a laugh why not give her one. "Well you see…when I was young, about your age, I was…helping my mother…my father died around the time and she tried desperately to make ends meet so I would always do my best to help her…it was hard on her…"
I closed my eyes remembering those days "My mother was a really hard worker, but she came down with an illness…or was it a disease?" I can't really remember anymore, I probably was the one who caused it, I knew I was…
"I-I'm sorry Kantarou"
"Don't be, I should be the one who's sorry, I was the cause of my mother's pain, we didn't have much of a relationship, now that I even look back at it now, she must've really hated me to not even look at me…she use to when I was small and hid it very well but I knew that wasn't the case…" Ichinomiya Kantarou…the coward, that's me alright…
"Now that I think about it, I guess the only reason I was never loved was because I was a little bit different…if I wasn't here then maybe…"
"That's a horrible thing to say!!" I jumped a bit, Suzu wondered over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, I froze. "S-Suzu?" was she crying? I could hear sniffling and tiny low whimpers
"If you weren't here then we'd all be very sad" I felt a bit guilty, I didn't want to make a twelve year old girl cry over something that I have so carelessly said. I returned the hug, petting her head a bit "I'm sorry Suzu-chan, I didn't mean to make you cry, Haruka will probably be very angry at me now"
"I'm Sorry"
Suzu…
I know well... more likely knew the pain you were going through then, but…gomen…
"Kantarou…" Darn it, I must've fallen asleep! I slowly opened my eyes, rubbing them a bit, I've been falling asleep lately, a bit too much for one day.
"D-Did I fall asleep again?" I yawned, snuggling my head into Haruka's chest, he didn't seem to mind, which is unusual, but then again given everything that's happened, he probably didn't mind now. I guess I should just think of that as a good thing. "You did…are you sure your alright?"
Was that worry I hear? Nah couldn't be…
"Hmm…I'm not sure…" Right!! Shake head; shake away any remainders of sleep. "You keep falling asleep…once we get there your going to bed…" I pouted, a vein appearing on my forehead, I think. What am I Twelve, Thirteen? "Haruka I'm not a-" I stopped as my gaze met with his, he looked angry so I stopped, dripping my head over my chest. He brought his lips closer to me; I could feel his breath tickling down my neck as he whispered.
"You will won't you?" I could never say no to that voice, no matter how much I try to resist I just couldn't so all I did was nod. "Good, we're almost there…so you just get some more sleep…leave everything to me…"
Hmm…that sounds like a plan…in a ways…
So what else could I do?
To Be Continued
Youkai Of Hearts: I know not much action or investigations yet, don't worry, It'll probably come into the next chapter, that will be where the fun really begins : ) Actually...since I'm such a niiiice person, here's what you can expect from the next chapter, think of it as a little preview if you will :3
Chapter 4 Preview:
"Enjoying yourself Kantarou?" eek! I was about to push myself up but found myself pinned unto the bed on my stomach again, my face meeting the pillow. I could tell very well who it was, who else had this intent since yesterday? "Don't get up…"
"H-Haruka…" I whispered before gasping, his hands were already making short work of the bottom half of my hakama, his hands slipping under them, sliding them off my thighs, I yelped feverishly which was soon halted with a hand slapping unto my lips. "Shh…just relax…" R-Relax? Haruka slowly pulled the top half off my shoulders, I can hear it being tossed to the floor already and it wasn't long until Haruka was trailing kisses down my back.
Chomp
"Ah! Y-You bit me…" I only whispered, he made it slightly clear that I shouldn't be loud…"Sorry…it was tempting…you shouldn't look so tasty Kantarou…" he licked unto the bit mark that he made, his tongue dipping into each tooth mark that he left behind. He slowly turned me unto my back, still having me pinned on the bed. Seeing those dark orbs that seemed to be filled with lust.
"H-How can someone look tasty—Mm!" before I could even finish he was already kissing me, oh Kami-sama! It felt so passionately that the butterflies came back to my stomach. Although I doubt it was my mouth he wanted to make contact with…
