Ch.4
"Himeka! Himeka!" Karin called as she ran into the kitchen to find Himeka. She held her letter up, "I made it! I'm Hannah! What about you?"
"I knew you'd get it Karin! I made it too! I'm your god mother, Nami!" Himeka cheered holding up her letter also.
Karin squealed and glomped Himeka, "Yeah! We're gonna be in the play!" she sang.
"Jeez! Women are so loud!" Kazune complained as he came into the kitchen, "what are you so excited about anyway?"
Karin stuck her tongue out at him, "wouldn't you like to know."
Kazune rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I don't really care. Anyway, I'm not gonna be here for lunch so don't wait up."
"Why won't you be here?" Karin asked. She wouldn't be either, she had rehearsals to go to but she still wanted to know.
Kazune shrugged, "wouldn't you like to know." he said before walking away.
"Kazuuuuuunneeeeeee!" Karin screeched.
Himeka giggled, "Don't worry about him, we'd better get going."
Karin and Himeka made it to the rehearsals just as the lesson started, "Alright everybody." The drama teacher, Mr. Burg said, "we're gonna start off doing bits and pieces of the play. We'll focus on the most important parts then we'll go and do a complete run through. Alright," he put his glasses on and looked down at the clipboard in his hands, "first we'll do the scene when Hannah first meets Yakio. Hannah is played by Karin Hanazono," Karin started to make her way to the front of the group, "Renevuere is played by Michichu Nishinori…" the Mr.Burg sighed, "Nishinori, you can't put yourself in the play, you didn't even audition… whatever just get up there...and Yakio is played by… Kazune Kujo."
"Kazune-kun!" she yelled in horror.
"Karin!" Kazune gasped equally surprised. Wait, Karin thought, didn't the Mr. Burg just say that Micchi couldn't put himself in the play. He was on the selection committee? He had set this up!
"Focus!" the drama teacher called, "Act II Part II Hannah meets Yakio. Go!"
Karin shook her thoughts from her mind and focused on her lines, she had the script in her hands but she hardly needed it.
"Hannah, my dear, this is Yakio, he has been in my service for many years now and I think you'll find him quite helpful." Micchi (as Renevuere) said.
Karin curtsied but she refused to look up at Kazune like she was supposed to. She mumbled her line under her breath. "No, no, no!" Mr. Burg called, "look up at him, Karin, your eyes meet his and you are swept away."
Karin swallowed and looked up; she looked Kazune straight in the eyes. He stared back at her making her heart flutter. "Nice to meet you." She said in her sweetest voice.
Kazune looked entranced with her, "Aye m'lady." He said taking her hand and kissing it. Karin's heart pounded, that wasn't in the script!
"Good, good, Kazune, I like it!" the drama teacher encouraged.
"Now," Micchi said taking Karin's arm, "I've ought to show you my garden." He takes Karin's arm and leads her out.
"Needs some work, but don't worry about it, this is our first rehearsal after all." Mr. Burg said. As he continued to call out names for the next scene, Karin flipped on Micchi, "You set this up!"
Micchi laughed, "Maybe…"
"Ugg, Micchi." Karin said angrily. She had really wanted to do this play but now with Kazune as her lover, it was too weird. Maybe she should withdraw.
Kazune came up to them, "I can't believe you're in the play too." He said.
Micchi smiled and threw his arms around both of them, "yeah," he said, "it's like destiny."
Kazune rolled his eyes, "I know you set this up Nishinori."
Micchi laughed, "Fate is a mysterious thing." he said before leaving Kazune and Karin to go talk to Himeka.
"You alright Karin?" Kazune asked her.
"I think… I'm going to withdraw from the play."
"What? Why?"
Karin shook her head not looking Kazune in face, "acting just isn't for me."
"Karin, are you doing this because I'm in it?"
"What? No." Karin lied.
Kazune sighed, "Whatever. Do what you want." But he seemed somewhat disappointed. He walked away to join Himeka and the others.
Karin debated over whether or not to withdraw herself. She had really wanted to be Hannah. She looked over at Kazune; maybe if they did this play it would spark something between them again. But was that even what she really wanted? Karin groaned there was too much going on. She couldn't think straight. But, maybe it wouldn't be that bad to have a love story with Kazune… Okay, that was it, she was staying and she was going to do her best.
"Alright." Mr. Burg said as the others finished their scene, "Now let's do Act III part I, Hannah and Yakio elope.
Kazune glanced over at Karin to see if she was going to do it. Karin marched up to the front and so he followed smiling, looks like she didn't decide to quit after all.
Karin (as Hannah) took Kazune's hands, "I…I'm pregnant." She said.
Kazune looked up at her shocked, "With…?"
"No, it's yours."
His face softened, "mine?"
"'tis not a good thing!" Karin said.
Kazune placed his hands on her belly, "but not bad either." He said, "How can I be upset when I know the women I love is carrying my child?"
"Yakio, the only way I can hide this from Reneveure is if I make him believe it's his."
"So do it. We'll know the truth."
"Aye, but to convince him of such we would have had to do such a thing to make a baby."
Kazune looked up at her then finally getting it, "You mean you haven't?" he looked relieved. Karin shook her head. "Then… you're planning to?"
"It's the only way!"
"No." Kazune said taking her hands, "What if we leave?"
"Leave?"
"Yes, let's get out here and live our lives together instead of sneaking around in secrecy."
"We're bound to be found."
Kazune clasped her hands tighter, "what about divorce?"
"On what grounds? There's no legitimate reason I could give that wouldn't give away the truth."
"So what then? You sleep with the man, convince him the child is his and have my child raised by him!" Kazune cried furious.
"As long as we could be together, I don't care what I have to do." Karin said.
"And… end scene." Mr. Burg cut in, "great job guys, I can see why you two were casted as the leads."
"So you're not withdrawing then?" Kazune asked as they made their way off stage.
"Nope." Karin said winking, "you're stuck with me."
It might take me a little while to get the next chapter up, I have it half way written but I'm kinda stuck on one part. anyway please review!
