A/N: In celebration of the newest Kurosagi movie trailer I just watched last night, and having no work today due to snow, I give you Chapter 4! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Kurosagi, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e nor these characters. The ones who are responsible for these lovely creations would be Natsuhara Takeshi and Nakajo Hisaya, respectively.
Chapter 4:
Tsurara woke up feeling rather odd. Something was going on right now, somewhere; she could feel it in the air. It was quiet, too quiet.
It was one of those eerily silent stillnesses that occurred when Kurosagi went out on a big assignment. Living near him for so long, she seemed to sense his "aura" when he was excited about his work. It happened less and less the last couple months, but ever since she followed him to Bonabos Anon a week ago it was like something was building. Some sort of tension was there that she hadn't realized until now.
She wondered if he was alright, but then rebuked herself. Of course he was; he was Kurosagi. This just meant something was occurring that she needed to be let in on if she planned to keep her promise.
She quickly got dressed in some dressy casual charcoal slacks and cream colored blouse. As she headed out the door she heard a small mew at her feet. Ah, Kitty was back. "Gomen Kitty. I'm in a rush today. Gotta find that grumpy owner of yours."
As she tried to leave Kitty rubbed itself against her leg and walked to Kurosaki's door. Pawing at something on the floor it looked back at her and mewed again. Hmm whatever could that be? Knowing her curiosity was peaked, and she would be distracted until she saw for herself what it was, she quickly looked around to see if anyone was watching, which of course they weren't.
Kurosaki only allowed tenants, who mind their own business, to live in his complex, being the paranoid he was. Seeing no one around she walked over to it and crouched down.
Hnn it was a piece of paper. Perhaps he had dropped it? Picking it up she quickly discerned it to be a To Do list.
Who would have thought, even the great Kurosagi needed reminders. It was understandable seeing as he seemed to be doing a bagillion things at once all the time.
Skimming it quickly she made note that he was suppose to be meeting with Katsuragi soon. If paper was correct he should still be there when she caught up with him.
Turning to Kitty she said, "Thank you Kitty. I see you have already located your master. I'll be sure to bring you back some maguro tonight." Kitty just looked at her for a second, as if to say "Of course you will." And strolled off to do who knows what.
Checking her watch she quickly made her way down the steps and headed towards the shop, where hopefully he was still.
Halfway to the shop it occurred to her that perhaps the paper was a setup. Perhaps he had finally caught on, and was having a bit of fun with her; making her chase him around the city, while he went on his business far from her as possible.
She shook her head at the thought. It sounded like something he would do, the bastard, only one way to find out though. She picked up her pace and focused on getting to the shop.
She'd decide what to do when she got there if he wasn't there also.
When she arrived she quickly crept to the backroom door.
She sighed a sigh of relief on hearing his voice. He was here after all, but it seemed she was too late. All she caught was the name Osaka Gakuen.
Hearing shuffling of paper and footsteps she quickly retreated behind a potted plant, and watched him leave the backroom and exit the shop. She would have to research this Osaka Gakuen. But first, she had to go to work.
Maidoari.
