Chapter 4
No song again-SORRY!
"Kyo!" Shigure whined outside the bathroom door, "Hurry up please!"
"I'm not in the bathroom, damn dog, now shut up!" The tousled haired teen yelled from his bed. She walked out of the bathroom with wet hair, wrapped in a short towel, and Shigure's eyes nearly fell out of his head.
"It's impolite to stare," she said, breezily passing him and entering Kyo's room. She deftly pulled on her underclothes while holding the towel about her frame.
"What happened to you?" Kyo questioned bleary-eyes.
"A combination of things, some of htem myself," she answered as she dropped her towel to search for the rest of her clothes. The members of the house gasped at all the shiny scars across her body.
"Please don't stare," she asked, with her back to everyone and her arms wrapped around her torso. She was so tan in some places that the shiny scars stood out like tiger stripes on her body.
"You heard her, beat it!" Kyo yelled, slamming the door on everyone else's faces.
"You think I'm strange don't you? I'll just leave," she whispered. He pulled her around to face him and found evidence of her sadness in her eyes, not her voice. He brushed her wet hair out of her face and cradled it in both of his hands.
"You just seem like you've been through a lot. Would you like to stay with me today?" She nodded, a little of her previous perkiness evident in her face.
"Arigato, Kyo-chan," she said quietly. Kyo froze again, transported back to another time, another girl.
"C'mon Kyo-chan!" she laughed as if nothing had happened, "Quit standing there like a statue and lets go get some breakfast!" She was wearing just the tube top and skirt now, showing a tantalizing amount of skin. Shigure, always the first to recover, crept up behind her as she was eating, only to be met by a small silver dagger, tapping across his knuckles as he was about to touch her.
"Kyo!" the baka inu whined, "why do you always have to bring home the creepy ones?!" The next thing he knew, Shigure was lying on the couch with a sore jaw and even sorer… other place.
