Chapter Four : Grumpy
Today is a lot different than yesterday. I actually have fun at the bar and Anna gave me a cute key chain as a present. Yes, that date with Mikoto just blown her mind away. Even so, I couldn't tell that she is developing a crush on Mikoto, or just simply 'love' as a father. But either way, I'm seeing her laughing many times today. It made me to feel happy too. Anna never smile like this before, and its just break my heart for seeing a little girl like her being..unhappy. As I was saying, I'm having a really good time at the bar today, and of course with the king himself.
"So,Hina," Mikoto began. "I heard that you're married already?"
I frowned a bit then nodded. "Yes…"
He smirked. "That's good. You're the first member of Homra who is actually married."
"It doesn't count,Mikoto."
He looked at me, confused.
"It's an arranged marriage," I said. "So it doesn't count."
The red king just shrugged. "You don't have to worry. It's going to be just fine."
I wish that is true.
After all that conversation has ended, I checked my cell and I looked at the time. It's almost eight o'clock. And I needed to go home. Or else, I might fight with Hikaru again.
"Looks like you're leaving, Hina-chan?" Kusanagi asked, as he smiled.
I nodded. "Yeah…."
"You're such an obedient wife. No wonder your husband loves you so much."
I looked at him with my disbelieve look. "Are you high,Kusanagi-san?"
"Nope. Just speaking the truth." He said. "He is clearly jealous of you spending your time with us other than him."
"No, no, no Kusanagi-san," I laughed. "He is just scared that something will happen to me . Since I'm his close friend."
It hurts to say it out loud. Oh darn it, why is it to be this hard in the first place? Why can't I just move on?
"Okay,if you say so," he said. "Have a good night, Hina-chan."
"You too!" I laughed and take my bag with me.
As I was about to turn my back to the entrance door, I can feel somebody is grabbing my right arm. Automatically, I turn to the person. And it's rather shocking , really. It's Yata Misaki. The guy who never touch a girl before.
"Yes?" I said.
He gives me his smile. "I'll take you home. It's dangerous for a girl like you to wonder around alone."
I smiled back at him. "What's with the occasion?"
"What do you mean?"
"You never walked a girl home before." I answered.
He blushed slightly. "W-Well,… you're my friend, and I'm just worried."
Aww, how cute. "Okay, I understand."
Several seconds later, Misaki and I already making our way to my house. Well technically it's Hikaru's. But Misaki doesn't know that I'm living with Hikaru. He is assuming that I'm staying with my house and Hikaru in his. Despite of my married status.
As we walked side by side, it was too awkward. I don't know what causing it. Is it Misaki's shyness or the way I talked to him, or what. I just don't understand why is he not speaking to me. This 'quiet' Misaki is way creepy for me.
""Did Saru called you?" he began.
Ah…, I know where this is going.
"No," I said. "I haven't talk to him ever since he betrayed us."
Misaki just sighed.
"Is that so?"
"Misaki," I called him.
He just turn to me in silence before me too look at his face. It doesn't change anything. Whether Fushimi betrayed Homra or not, the way Misaki feel right now doesn't change that Fushimi and him were friends. No matter how Misaki hate him, he is and will always be Yata Misaki's best friend.
"I miss Fushimi." I admitted to him.
He understands that and just patted my head. I smiled when he did that, and nodded. It's his way to say everything's going to be alright. And I believe in him. Maybe someday I will see Fushimi again, and until then I would keep trying to get him for talking to me.
"Don't get me wrong,Hina," he said. "I still hate that monkey."
Yeah, right. I chuckled at his statement and he made a frowning face. It takes awhile, but finally we arrived at my house. It was a mansion. From Misaki's point of view, it is rather….expensive. That's why I'm asking Hikaru for not making the house so….different than the other houses. But is he listening? No, he did not.
"Well,this is my house," I said to him. "Do you want to come in?"
Misaki let out a nervous laugh. "I never thought that you are wealthy."
Oh crap. I forgot to tell him that I'm different. The only one who knows the real me in Homra is the king himself. But I don't expect for Misaki to be this 'shock'. I sighed. This is just great.
"You got to be kidding me," Hikaru frowned, looking at the guest that I just bring to the house. And there is Kaoru, who is standing right next to him. This is just great. As I looked at Misaki who is giving me the 'look' , you know the usual 'what-the hell-is – this ' situation kinda look. I just sighed in response.
"Who's this?" Kaoru blinked at me as he looked at Misaki. "Don't tell me , your boyfriend?"
I shake my head in advance. "No, this is my friend, Yata Misaki. Misaki, this is Hitachiin Kaoru, the younger twin of the Hitachiin twins."
Misaki just looked at Kaoru, and then to Hikaru who is frowning. Good, keep it up Hikaru. If you keep it like that, most likely that Misaki wouldn't mistook you as Kaoru. Or the other way around.
"Nice to meet you," Misaki said to Kaoru, and then they shake their hands.
Several minutes after that, the two guys (meaning Kaoru and Misaki) are already 'Bonding'. I never know that those two have a lot in common. And in just several minutes, the house is already more lively than these couple of weeks. This is actually pretty nice. Looking at Kaoru who actually made friends other than the host club and his brother, actually made me feel happy. The only problem is the jealous brother over here. Still in his ego, Hikaru refused when I teased him being jealous.
"Aww, c'mon, you're clearly jealous," I told him, crossing my hands.
And Hikaru just rolled his eyes. "For the last time, I am not jealous!"
Okay…maybe I'm a bit overreacting about the twins' relationship. But what the hell? This is too funny to watch. First, Hikaru is being all grumpy when Kaoru seemed to enjoy his conversation with Misaki. And second of all, is when he tries to 'fit in' on the conversation. Okay, okay he is desperate. Like, it's so obvious! And then , it comes when Misaki and Kaoru wants to hang out.
"No! Absolutely not!" Hikaru protested when Misaki suggested that they should hang out after this. "You can't take my brother out. NEVER. You heard me?"
Kaoru, at the other hand just rolled his eyes.
"What the hell is your problem?!" Misaki snapped. "I'm asking him, not you!"
Okay. This is bad. No, this is very bad. We all know what happens if Hikaru snapped, right? But knowing Misaki, he would do much worse than just 'snapping'. He probably burn things too!
"My problem? You are my problem! First, you are hanging out with my wife, and now my brother?! I can't ignore that!"
Misaki snapped. "Excuse me? You can't just lock her in here! She is not your property, and she is not an object! What the hell are you thinking?!"
Hikaru rolled his eyes. "She is my wife, therefore she is my property! And who the hell are you telling me to do?"
His property? Okay, now he has crossed the line. I am not his property, and I'm not an object! I sighed. Why is it have to be this way, everytime I want to enjoy myself with him?
"Hey, Hey, stop it!" I said, pulling Hikaru aside . "Look, I'm not an object,Hikaru. I'm not your property! "
Hikaru made a face. "Are you saying that you're in his side?"
"I'm in nobody's side! I need you to calm down, Hikaru. Jealousy is not the way to figure out things!" I told him with a concerned look.
"Then what is it? Wait- are you saying, that I'm jealous?!"
I raised my eyebrow at him. "Yes, I am. For God's sake, Hikaru. You are absolutely jealous when Misaki asked your brother out!"
Hikaru is going to say something, when Kaoru takes over the fight by pulling his brother away. I sighed. Seriously, what is he? A ten year old?!
"I'm sorry, Misaki," I apologized. "you okay?"
Unexpectedly, Misaki nodded and smiled at me. He is always been there for me, and I thought bringing him here will melt the 'tension' between him and Hikaru. And I was wrong about that. Very wrong!
"Nah, it's alright," he chuckled. "I think it's time for me to go home."
I looked at him. "Do you want me to go with you?"
He shakes his head. "I'm fine. See you tomorrow, okay? "
I nodded. When I waved at him, I noticed that he looked straightly at Hikaru who is still pissed off with him. Misaki smirked.
"Bye, grumpy!"
And then he left.
Oh wait, I know that last word is referring to Hikaru who is angry. This is bad. Looks like that he couldn't hold his anger any more longer and he just exploded. Maybe Misaki is ashamed that he has to fight an eighteen year old? Clearly, Misaki is the violent type. Usually he would just smacked a guy's head if he has crossed the line. But today he didn't? What the hell is wrong with him?
XXXXXXXXX
