Chapter Six

Hokuto was really early to school this morning. Despite how disorientated her brother had been she'd managed to get him dressed, fed and off to his job with plenty of time to spare. She knew trying to ask him what was wrong with Seishirou would be a bad idea at that moment and consequently was waiting until dinner when she could pry the information out of him.

Right now though she had other issues on her mind; she really needed Kamui over one night for dinner. Her plan depended on it. True she'd only known him for a couple of days and though his personality left much to be desired she thought he was cute. Perhaps cute enough to tempt Seishirou-san and if possible inspire envy in her brother.

"Oh please Kamui-chan! I've been planning this for ages."

"Forget it. I don't care. I barely know you never mind your brother and what sounds like his creepy paedophilic boyfriend. Besides I'm not gay" Kamui said.

Hokuto pouted. Why was Kamui so determined to be difficult? It seemed he was in one of his famous bad moods again. Really, he'd only come to Tokyo a week ago and already he'd caused so much commotion. Honestly, how one person could be excluded from school three times in one week, their first at that was beyond Hokuto's imagination. She'd heard he was recently orphaned as his mother had died in a house fire or something and he never knew his dad. Surely she was doing him a favour by inviting him over –even if it was for selfish reasons. He just couldn't see that yet.

"Kamui...Please..." she begged using the most doleful expression she could muster. Her green eyes especially big and bright highlighted by the blue eye shadow she was wearing.

Kamui, not even bothering to look back in her direction said clearly, "No"

He could tell it was going to be long day as he made his way to school, Hokuto hard on his heels. Girls were so weird.

Seishirou stared at the rows and rows of flowers in the florist's shop. None of them seemed quite good enough for his Subaru-kun. Sighing deeply he made his way to another shop. Seeing his rueful expression the opportunist shop keeper made her way to him eager to impress him.

"Ah sir might you be interested in our customised flower arrangements? You get to choose exactly how your flowers might look. I can tell you must be buying for a very special lady hmm...perhaps one you might have upset?"

Seishirou startled at her intuitiveness smiled and nodded, "Yes I'm afraid he might never speak to me again."

"A man hmmm. I wouldn't have taken you for one of... Well we'll just have to change his mind then!" she said determinedly, ignoring the disgusted look of her assistant sitting idly by the till. Akemi, the assistant, was a beautiful woman in her early twenties and was quite enraptured by 

Seishirou, one eye and all. Twisting on her swivelling chair she wondered how it was quite possible he could be involved with a man. Swirling a lock of curly black hair round her finger she mumbled under her breath, "...disgusting just disgusting..."

Seishirou who was keen of hearing heard her and spinning round looked at Akemi making her blush. Softly touching her hand while she blushed and squirmed more he smiled pleasantly. Akemi couldn't believe it; maybe he was not so gay after all. Trying to pull off a seductive expression she looked at Seishirou pulling him closer to her. Not resisting Seishirou leaned into her and whispered into her ear, "Miss there is nothing disgusting about neither me nor my male lover". Removing himself from a very embarrassed Akemi he walked back to the elder shop keeper and began discussing flower arrangements. He felt rather than saw that Akemi's expression was no longer one of embarrassment but of anger and prepared himself for a visitor later that day.

Subaru pleased with the outcome of his work that day sat by a pond in the nearby park staring idly at the ducks as they swam past him. It appeared the old building his clients had thought haunted actually was not. In fact he had discovered it to be due to a few pranks set by the local children. He chuckled slightly as he remembered the relief on the elder woman's face as she was told that were no ghosts and the mischievousness of the children's faces as they confessed. Contentedly he considered even making it to his afternoon lessons since his work was completed so early. Making his way back to his apartment however he was overcome by a strong smell of daffodils, pink lilies, avalanche roses, white lisianthus and mini snowy gerbera. Underlying this infusion of his senses was one he could never mistake; it was the soft scent of sakura blossoms. He looked in awe at the magnitude and splendour of the flowers before him; Blushing even as he realised he didn't need to see a card to know who sent him them.

Seishirou watched Subaru cautiously sniff the flowers before gingerly raising his hand to touch one, afraid, it seemed that they might attack at any second. From his position behind a nearby wall he had the perfect view to see how his prey enjoyed his gift. His heart, though he sometimes doubted he had one, warmed at each one of Subaru's smiles and the butterflies in his stomach tormented him more. A sudden surge of emotion boosted him though when he saw his Subaru-kun dreamily pick up the basket of flowers around his apartment door his eyes glazed while he read his card.

Subaru Sumeragi

I am dreadfully sorry for my inappropriate display last night. I hope in time you will forgive me.

Yours faithfully

Seishirou

Suddenly coming back to himself, Seishirou was sure of one thing. No one had ever made him feel the way Subaru did. However a Sakurazukimori never lost a bet so Subaru couldn't have won the bet! However it was clear as crystal Subaru hadn't lost the bet. His confused logic battled inside his head but he just could not come to a decision. Had Subaru won or had he lost the bet? Pushing the question the back of his head he tried to catch another glimpse of his teenage beauty's face as the apartment door swung shut.



Kamui was not having a good day. Why was he in a school full to capacity with idiots? He'd been there for a whole week, well excluding four days; three because he was excluded and one because he couldn't be bothered to turn up; yet the morons in the school were still curious about him. He was no longer sure whether he was more annoyed by being bothered by them or running out of witty remarks to their inane comments and questions. Blanking them however was also proving futile.

Ah Kamui-chan you're so hot! Will you go out with me?

"No" Perhaps when the square root of e to the power of 4 equals one...

Do you have a girlfriend yet Kamui-chan?

"No" But perhaps one day I will gather up enough courage to ask Kotori-chan...

Do you have a boyfriend?

I am not even going to qualify that with response

How old are you Kamui-kun? You're so small and short...

"Fifteen" And thank you so much for your personal comments retard!

Do you have an older brother? Is he as hot as you?

Do you have a brain? Wait sorry that was a stupid question.

Do you have a sister mate?

If I did what makes you think I'll tell you?

Oh Kamui you're so pretty! But why are your eyes violet?

I don't know, do you have less brain matter than a sheep?

Can I have your number? You can have mine...

Somehow I don't think that is a fair exchange. Is it just me or would you be getting the better half of the bargain?

Really even Hokuto-chan was not as bad as this and she was pretty annoying to say the least. Being in the year below hers though he'd managed to avoid her for the majority of the day but not the people in his own year; the ones responsible for making his actual second day in school worse than it could be. By the end of the day he was so exhausted he didn't even realise Hokuto was talking to him. For some unknown reason he was actually pleased...

"So how was your day Kamui-chan?!" she asked brightly and a little too loudly for his tastes but it sounded more honest than what he'd head previously

"Ok" he replied nonchalantly

"Good! So you won't be too tired to come around for tea then. Here's my address and see you later Kamui-chan! You better not be late! Oh and don't worry I won't force you to flirt today!" She yelled

Before he could even tell her where she could stuff her address she was off. Sighing Kamui decided that if she had one good point it was persistence. Hokuto did seem pretty annoying but at least she hadn't called him pretty and she seemed like an interesting person too, not a brainless sheep like the rest of the people he'd met thus far. Besides there was no reason why he couldn't make at least one friend was there?
