And by the way, I'm trying to figure out who that anonymous person is who said something about sending a cookie monster after me if I didn't update fast enough? xD lol I don't know why but that made me do the ROFLMAO xD and since I can't reply to anonymous reviews, I might as well say it here; I thought that comment was HILARIOUS xD. AnD to everyone else, thank you for being so sweet and kind to me by taking the time out of your day to read and review. It means a lot to me...so *heart*.
By the way, this chapter is set a week after the lunch. Just a little information for those of you who are super anal about time lol which isn't a bad thing. I just was too lazy to incorporate that bit of information into the fic.
She was most definitely the perfect epitome of celestial beauty and elegance. Her divine demeanor could be intimidating but it was more beautiful and fascinating than anything within this world. If her aura of heavenly grace didn't draw a person to her, then her eyes of dark, crystal blue would surely win one's heart. All of these traits that belonged to the omnipotent Himemiya Chikane were able to do exactly that and they had ensnared a certain golden blonde.
But, Kurusugawa Himeko was more afraid of her growing feelings for the lady with eyes that sparkled brighter than sapphire gems under the most intense of lights. Himeko couldn't help but begin to feel her heart beat slightly faster whenever Chikane would contact her. She couldn't help but blush whenever Chikane would compliment her on something. She couldn't help but feel warmer when she felt Chikane's eyes fall upon her. However, Himeko knew her feelings were unreciprocated and that only made her gentle heart begin to disassemble fragment by fragment.
A snowflake landed on her nose and tickled her out of her heavy thoughts. Himeko sighed and shoved her delicate hands into her jacket pockets and began her long walk back to her dorm, which were quite far from the campus itself. The angelic blonde was from a family that didn't have much when it came to monetary funds and so she was unable to even purchase a bus card. However, Himeko didn't mind braving the frigid cold and snow and found that it gave her a reason to enjoy the world around her. As an aspiring photographer, Himeko did her best to find beauty in as many things as possible so that she could hopefully capture them in a timeless photograph.
"Himeko!" A disembodied voice called out to her, causing the blonde to stop in her tracks and look for the source of the voice.
Blue, silky streams of long hair waved in the violent wind like a triumphant banner after an epic battle. Himeko felt a smile spread across her lips as her violet eyes latched onto the stoic magnificence before her. "Ch-chikane." Was all Himeko was able to say as bliss engulfed her all due to the person before her.
Chikane gave Himeko a smile that could outshine the stars themselves. "I saw you from across the street and no one should walk through a snow-storm. Shall I give you a ride?"
This was definitely something Himeko had been fantasizing about; having her gallant knight of Sapphires come to rescue the golden princess of Amethysts. Before she could lose herself in her usual nighttime reverie, Himeko was brought back to reality as Chikane's hand rested on her forearm. The blonde was in momentary shock at the touch. "I'm almost home but thank you, Chikane."
Himeko's knight of Sapphires scrunched up her face into a delicate frown. "Well, I'm actually doing some homework at the Cafe over there. Would you care to join me? I can help you out with your math if you would like."
The blonde couldn't help but smile and she nodded her head. "I would like that; thank you Chikane."
"As long as Himeko is happy; it is not an issue at all." Chikane smiled dazzlingly at Himeko and safely led a fabulously blushing blonde across the street.
There truly was no other pestilence in the world that could be of equal status to this abhorrent torment. This was most definitely Satan's true spawn and it was doing a marvelous job of wreaking havoc upon Himeko's sweet heart and mind. Pure, hot agony was all that Himeko could think about as her mind became numb and slow from the pain that refused to cease. Her eyes were beginning to fade from their usual violet effervescence to two pale lilac orbs of emptiness. She was sure that her world was about to come to an end and her young, innocent life was to be cut short.
"Himeko, are you alright?" Chikane asked worriedly as her gleaming cobalt eyes searched Himeko's pale face.
Himeko stared at the foreign discombobulation of algebraic text before her and she looked up at Chikane with glistening eyes. "I-I am so sorry, Chikane; I just don't understand still." The blonde was on the edge of relinquishing frustrated tears from her innocent eyes.
Chikane gave her friend a warm smile and scooted closer to her. "I'll show you again, Himeko; no need to cry." She gently wiped away a fallen tear with the back of her hand and Himeko began to blush brilliantly from the sudden contact.
Two hours passed by and Himeko was able to finish her painful set of math problems. She rubbed the sides of her throbbing temples and leaned against the table before her. Chikane smiled and pushed Himeko's luke-warm tea towards her and urged the blonde to drink. "You worked very hard today, Himeko; I am very proud of you."
Himeko felt a blush arise and she quickly began to take a sip from her tea so as to hide part of her face from Chikane. "Thank you for taking the time to help me."
Chikane smiled and nodded her head. "If you're ready, I can drive you home." Chikane offered as she began to pack her books back into her backpack.
Himeko zipped up her own backpack and grinned at Chikane. "No, don't waste your gas; I'll just walk."
Chikane took in a deep breath and got up from her seat. "Well, then I'll walk you to your house."
Himeko didn't have time to object as Chikane confidently led the blonde out of the Cafe and into the oncoming snow.
"Himeko, I thought you said your house was close? We've walked almost half a mile." Chikane's silky voice came out slightly muffled from the scarf that covered the bottom portion of her lovely face.
Himeko felt embarrassment creep up within her but she tried to push it out of her mind as she stomped her feet as she walked; trying to shake the bunched up snow from under her boots. Chikane studied the blonde and felt a smile grace her lips at the cute sight of the woman before her. Golden-strands of hair whipped and streamed behind Himeko, who's endearing face was tinged with pink from the cold. Chikane could see that even underneath the thick coat Himeko was wearing, she was most definitely shivering. The stoic woman realized that nothing was protecting Himeko's cream-skinned neck and she felt a pang of guilt at herself for allowing such a travesty to her golden-haired princess go unnoticed .
The priestess of the Sun felt something soft, and very warm, wrap around her face and neck. With instant panic grasping her very soul, Himeko spun on her heel to face whomever was trying to strangle her out in broad-daylight. But, her amethyst eyes fell onto a tenderly smiling Chikane, who finished wrapping a ruby scarf around Himeko's neck. Himeko was not only stunned by such a thoughtful gesture, but her heart was enamored and instantly was in love with the stoic majesty before her. "Ch-chikane...what..." Her words were cut off by Chikane's melodious giggle.
"Don't say anything, Himeko; it's something I should have done for you a while back. Forgive me for being so neglectful on my part." Chikane said with a chivalrous air.
Himeko felt a fire-hot blush erupt upon her cheeks and she could only nod her head and resumed the walk to her dorm. Within a few short minutes, the two made it to the entrance to Himeko's dorm. The blonde turned around to Chikane and Himeko could still feel the remnants of the blush fresh on her cheeks. "It's snowing even harder now, Chikane."
Chikane looked at her surroundings and refocused her eyes onto Himeko. "It would seem so. Call me if you need me to tutor you some more for math. Have a great day, Himeko." With that, Chikane gave Himeko a wink and turned around to nobly face the snow as she began her journey back to the Cafe, where her car awaited her.
"W-Wait, Chikane!" Himeko's voice rang out crystal clear.
The sapphire-haired eminence slowly turned around and focused her august eyes on the blonde she didn't want to part from. "What is it, Himeko?"
Himeko summoned up all the courage from within her and she timidly took in a deep breath. "Would you like to come inside until the snow clears?"
As Himeko was just about to blush herself to death from her invitation to Chikane, the only child of the Himemiya family was feeling blessed; like as if the heavens had parted and granted her immediate access into the most celestial of places. Excitement pounded away at her chest and Chikane nodded her head in acquiescence and followed the blonde into the dormitories.
