Hi, I know the last chapter ended weirdly. I also realize that I said Kirikaze was the ninja of no emotion. Apparently, I was wrong. I looked up the lyrics for Yuta's song Mistiness which is technically Kirikaze's character song. He sings something like 'hold me tight' in the song. So, Kirikaze (Yuta is more lively compared to the character that he has to play) does have romantic feelings for someone! Anyways, on to the story!
Chiyoko, one of the female Fuma warriors but also someone I didn't like that much. Reason behind that is because she isn't really a good person even if she acts and says that she is. Nobody knows that she is actually evil, except me. Let's just say she's done awful things to me that she hasn't done to others.
"Nice to see you again. What are you up to now my friend?" Chiyoko questioned.
"We are not friends. Helping a friend is all I'm doing right now."
"Really?" She asked examining me. "To me it looks like you just got beat up."
"This is nothing. I was training." I explained.
"With a bear?"
"With Kirikaze."
"That explains a lot." She said. "How about you come over tonight and I'll help you recover."
"Uh… Sure… But, why are you being so nice to me?"
"I wanted to start over as friends." She explained. Something in my gut told me I shouldn't trust her. But, I did go over to her house. Just as promised she helped me recover from my injuries from the training session.
"Thank you very much."
"It was no problem."
"No problem? You should get a reward. How about lunch, my treat."
"Um… Sure." I couldn't believe it. We were getting along! All thanks to Kirikaze. Speaking of which…
"Amaya! Sorry for yesterday." Kirikaze apologized.
"It's okay… I got some help from Chiyoko to clean up the injuries."
"Since when were you two friends?" Everyone in the Fuma clan knew that Chiyoko and I were the worst of enemies.
"Since yesterday." Chiyoko explained.
"Well, thanks for taking care of her. As for me, I've been a bad friend to you."
"Relax, I'm not mad." I explained. Kirikaze gave me a confused look. "I did something yesterday to make you upset with me. I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry." Kirikaze smirked.
"You really haven't changed all that time that we've been gone. You still take things as your responsibility."
"Only if they are." I retorted.
"You two seem like very good friends." Chiyoko pointed out.
"Ah, we're childhood friends." I explained.
"That explains it. You two have been close since you were young and now get on each other's nerves." Chiyoko explained.
"Sure let's go with that." Kirikaze and I said with unison.
"I'm glad that you're feeling better. See you later." She said.
"Now that was weird…" Kirikaze pointed out.
"That she randomly left?" I asked.
"That and the fact that you two are friends."
"Yeah, I got to admit that's a bit weird."
"But, I like her. I never noticed it before but she really is cute." Okay, that really stabbed me in the back!
"By 'like' you mean you like her as a friend, right?" I asked.
"Actually, maybe even more than a friend." Kirikaze admitted. Now it felt like the stab got deeper into my back as my whole world started to spin. It wasn't that he didn't like me more than a friend, it's because he liked her more than a friend. I couldn't believe it, he barely knew her!
