The Genius Delinquent And The Shy Cat Girl
Chapter Seven: Neru's POV: I Can't Say No to You


"I love her!"

I was shocked to the extreme and my grip on Haku's arm loosed and shit even the tealette brat was just as shocked as me. Haku soon shooked us both and ran towards the direction of the school gate both me and the idiot in front of me just stood there as the silver haired beauty disappeared into the dark. Then the twin tailed girl looked at me the same way from this afternoon and smacked me as hard as possible and I was too stun by Haku's words still that I didn't even stopped it. I looked at her again with my hand on the side of my face her hand made contact with only to be met with so much furry in her eyes.

"What have you done!"

"What the hell?! I'm just as shocked so ya ain't gotta start with this shit!"

"Lier!"

The tealette ran off right afterwards while callin out for Haku but I guess it's kind of failing since she didn't know what her name was. I still just stood there only lookin how she disappeared into the dark and instead of following after her I walked to where Haku and I where goin to. I decided to hurry up with getting Haku's stuff. Walking towards the classroom I made sure none of the cameras caught what happened when we fell even just remembering the events made me go bright red. Then three words rang in my head over and over: 'I love her!'

"Ugh...! How am I gonna face ya now..."

I stopped walking and looked down towards the floor and I felt a really sharp pain in my chest. I knew it was really only said to get that brat away I knew it but a part of me didn't want her to admit that cause I knew what I felt for her. But I had to face the music sooner or later but I was also Haku wouldn't bring up the 'Falling on the floor thing' Eventually I got to the classroom and without Haku around I was able to use my vampiric powers and faze through the door. Haku's stuff was now on top of the desk instead of on the floor even the scattered papers were no longer on the desk instead it was neatly staked in one pile by her bag.

"Now who the hell did this?"

I cautiously walked over towards the objects and scanned them to see if it was a trap or not but to my surprise I found a sticky note on the pile of papers once got close. Even just by lookin at it i knew who it was and if it wasn't the hand writing that gave it away the stupid lil' drawing on the posted note was. I gave out the biggest sigh and put Haku's stuff into her bag then in the process I realized how bloody fuckin organized she was. Peeking inside her bag I found her keys, phone that was in a purple case then more homework but each was placed in their own designated pocket inside the bag. I kinda found it funny that despise her clumsiness and shy deminer even how she studderd on her words sometimes Haku was extremely organized.

"Geez, Haku ya really need help with your school stuff..."

A certain line kept being recited in my head in a voice that I'll never hear again 'Do your homework like always'

"I'm sorry I broke that promise...Nero..."

I felt alot of sadness and guilt but soon an idea clicked in my head and I looked up at that ceiling then smiled as if sayin 'Thanks' Then I quickly stuffed her papers while still respecting her organization and quickly closed her bag and ran out the door. But I stopped once I reached the gate and looked around to see if there was a clue bout where Haku has gone but i found nothin.

"Shit where'd she go?"

"Who or what are you looking for Akita?"

I turned around to see a police officer from the school standing there. Since I hate alot of authority tryin to ask for where Haku went wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for my sharp toung. So great...how bad can it get, right?

"I'll ask again Akita. What or who are you looking for?"

"Yea, have ya seen a girl with white hair tied in a low pony tail with a black and purple ribbon come through here?"

"So specific? Why are you looking for her?"

"JUST tell me if ya seen her and where did she go...?"

The officer looked at me in a questionable manner then pointed in the direction of the park. So I gave the questionable manner to the police officer and he still pointed towards the park then I remembered somethin Haku said: 'Sorry Neru meet me by the super market near the school while I get my things'

"The market...where's the nearest super market from here?"

The officer then pointed in the opposite way of the park then it got me thinkin whether or not they were lying or not but I didn't question it and left to the direction they're pointing at. I ran for a few more blocks only to hear someone shout: 'My homework! My bag!'

"Geez, Ya ain't gotta shout"

I walked to where the noise was only to find Haku bowing to the crowd that where lookin at her and some not in an appropriate manner which got my blood boiling. So while walking towards Haku one of them walked passed her and was bout to hit on her but I grabbed their shoulder before they could. They of course got the message and left and started to mumble under their breath. I got extremely nervous being a few steps away from Haku so I took a deep breath to calm me down but it was still better said then done and really only managed to say

"Yo"

"Ah! Ne-Neru...! Um...hi..."

Her face was bright red couldn't blame her even the awkward tension was pretty bad. Then the worst thing happened to me but it at least lifted up the tension.

"*stomach growl*Um...uh..."

"*giggle*I still owe you um...dinner...right?"

"Then why'd ya forget this?"

I handed over her bag and Haku instantly had a huge smile on her face which I found cute and I couldn't help but have a small smile on my face. She took it from my hand and checked to see if all her things where there then pulled out her wallet grabbed my hand then walked inside the market.

"Come on let's go inside before it closes"

"Right, but why'd ya takin me too? I mean weren't we gonna go eat somewhere?"

"Exactly what do you want to eat Neru?"

"Um...pizza sounds good"

I was a bit confused during the whole conversation and Haku wasn't really clarifying what she was doin or what she was sayin. I even looked at her face to see what expression she was makin but it didn't really help since she had a thoughtful expression. Then Haku turned around and let go of my hand then gave a wary expression.

"But you're gonna...have to help with that..."

"With...orderin...? Are ya that bad at talkin to people?"

"Oh no-! Well ye-yes but th-that's not the point...! I-It takes a while to get the dough to the right size..."

"Dough...? Wait!? Your gonna make it?!"

"Well yes I've always wanted to try and make pizza but never really had a reason to..."

"Haku..."

"Pathetic right...I-I'll go get a basket we-we'll need it..."

Haku let out a warry laugh and was ready to run away but I wasn't having that so I grabbed her arm in which caused her to jump in surprise. She quickly turned around and looked at me but she wasn't makin eye contact and I gave out a huge sigh.

"I'll get the basket so Haku go get the ingredients"

"But-"

"I ain't got a single clue when it comes to cooking so this works better and faster too, right?"

"Neru...*smiles*Hai! The baskets are-"

"Out in front I saw them now go we ain't got time to lose"

Haku's smile grew wider and I let go of her arm so she can go get the ingredients and just like inside the school I only saw how she left off into distance. I turned around to go back and get the basket in which I did and I went off to find her. I looked around a bit only to find her in the dairy aisle lookin at some cheese. It got my mouth watery when she picked up the mozzarella cheese but my daze of cheese came to a halt went Haku spotted me and gave me a smile then started to walk towards me with like two other things. So I also walked towards Haku only to save her from having to trip on someone by accident due to her clumsiness.

"Neru I got the cheese, yeast, and olive oil and all we really need is the tomatoes for the sauce and garlic cloves"

"Great, now give me all the stuff so I can carry it"

"Hai, here um want to get some drinks while we're around the cold aisle?"

"Yea sure what ya had in mind?"
"Um...yo-you're the guest you sh-should choose..."
Shit! I almost forgot I'm gonna go to Haku's place she's even gonna cook for me...granted I'm helping but still...she's gonna be wearing an apron too...

"Neru?"

"Ah! Um...then how bout...this one"

"Oh~ Ramune Grape Soda then I'll get the same thing*giggle*"

"Ya-Ya don't have to ya know that right?"

"I-I know but I've been meaning to try this flavor*smile*"

Uso-tsuki(Liar). When we both finished our shopping we left the market and headed towards Haku's place while having some small talk along the way. We eventually got to Haku's place and it was HUGE.

"SHIT! Haku ya never told me you're a rich girl!"

"Ah...um no I'm not that's the neighbor's house mine is the one next to it..."

"Hm?"

I looked over to see what type of house it was and it was smaller then expected but in a way I was kinda thankful Haku wasn't a rich girl since she really wouldn't be suited for one. We both walked towards her small kinda ragged old house but I guess this is why people say 'Don't judge a book by it's cover' Cause despise how it looks on the outside the inside was beautiful simple but very beautiful. The living room was really just a sofa and an arm chair plus the T.V that was in the corner of the room on top of a small mahogany cabinet.

"Sorry for the intrusion"

"Ah, no make yourself at home come the kitchen is this way"

"Ha-Hai! But shit..."

"Um, wh-what's the matter?"

"Well...despise how the outside looks...the inside it really nice small but nice"

"I wouldn't say small is the right word for it"

I gave Haku a confused look while following her to the kitchen but I kinda felt a little odd if small wasn't the right word for it what is? Once we got to the kitchen Jesus it was just as big as the living room maybe even bigger. I awed in amazement since I sewer that from the outside this looked like a small house Haku even said she wasn't a rich person how the hell did she managed this?

"Neru?"

"Huh?"

"You spaced out..."

"So-sorry um ya were sayin?"

"You can place the bags on the counter so go wash your hands so you can help me"

I nodded in response and did what she asked me to do once I did we started to make the pizza dough then came the tomato sauce. Then Haku asked me to use the cheese grader and I may or may not have eaten some of the mozzarella cheese while I was at it but that's beside the point. I looked over at Haku to see how she looked in an apron- I MEAN TO SEE WHAT SHE WAS DOIN THAT'S ALL! So I saw Haku who was lookin through her double door fridge in a frantic manner I walked over to see what was up. Since she was kneeling down I was hovering over her a bit and I was bout to speak but Haku shot up from the floor and the top of her head managed to hit me right on the chin. I fell backwards and hit the floor while holding my chin with both of my hands with a dazed look on my face.

"AH! Neru! I'm so sorry!"

"Gaaah..."

"Neru! Aah, Neru! Snap out of it! Neeruu!"

Faack who knew Haku was so hard headed...

"Huh...?"

"Ah, You're awake!"

I got up slowly from the sofa and felt the throbbing pain that was comin from my chin so I gently touched it and I felt the sharp shock of pain once I did.

"Ah! Don't do that it's still only been a few minutes before you passed out...!"

"Passed out?*sniff*Pizza?"

"Oh hai, I finished makin the pizza and put it in the oven while you passed out because of me...I'm really sorry Neru..."

Oh, that's right we were makin pizza before Haku hit me by accident...

"Nah it's cool plus ain't it my fault? I'm the one who was hovering over ya"

"Neru...you're such a nice person..."

Haku had a really sorrowful expression wondering weather or not to cry. It was the first I've ever saw her with an expression like this. I never had a good record on helping people in this manner I decided to change the subject for both of us.

"Nice to know ya think that but aren'cha supposed to take care of the oven too?"

"The oven? Th-That's right the pizza I almost forgot I'll be right back!"

Haku ran towards the kitchen I was bout to follow but decided not to at the last minute since i wanted to think more bout how Haku looked liked at that moment. I looked around the room and not really caring bout the consequences of my actions...sort of...

"Wow...oi Haku ya sure you're not a rich girl?"

"I'm not I told you that even so plus-"

*Ding-Dong*

The door bell suddenly rang then I heard a knock on the door but I didn't answer since this isn't my home plus ain't no way in hell was I gonna go and open the door...

"Neru do you mind answering the door please"

"Hai~!"

Of course unless the beauty of this house hold asked me to answer it then I won't argue bout it. I went to open the door and was greeted by a girl with long pink hair and crystal blue eyes and she's pretty tall too I think she's just as tall as Haku...I think? She was wearing some casual clothing a teal V-neck shirt a pink and black sweater and her black jeans with white clovers. The odd part out of her whole out fit was she's wearing a headset not bothering to take them off and by the looks of it it's custom made.

"Do ya have business here?"

"Hai, well not exactly I'm actually the new neighbor who lives in that house over there"

She was pointing towards the rich house and my jaw dropped. I looked at the pinkette then at the house I repeated these two actions several times until she spoke again.

"Um...excuse me but I brought a house warming gift if that helps"

Why isn't her mouth movin? I swear she's talkin I hear her voice but she never moved her lips once how the hell...?

"Well I ain't really the house owner but I can call `em out if ya want?"

"That will be greatly appreciated"

Educated I see...I expect nothin less from an Oujo-sama...

"Oi! Haku! Someone has business with ya!"

"Hai! In a minute!"

I look back at the Oujo-sama who was outside the door and she was just standing there with a smile glued to her face to her face like she had nothin better to do. Then foot steps scurried over to the door only to remember how bad Haku was at socializing and I soon found myself mentally face palming.

"Ho-How may I-I help- Ah! Lucchi!"

Lucchi? Oi oi!

"Haku-chan! Long time no see!"

They both gave each other a hug o-of course I wa-wasn't jealous or anything but still it was a lil' to friendly of a hug in my standards. So I stood there with nothin much to do besides hear they're conversation.

"Lucchi how are you here? Weren't you living over seas?"

"Well yes but we just moved back to Japan yesterday and moved into that house"

"So you're my new neighbor! That's reassuring to know*smile*"

She really does look like an angel...

"Also I see you're still enjoying cooking like always Haku-chan"

"Ho-How did you know?"

"*smile*Theirs two reasons for that one is the apron you are wearing at the moment and two is the smell of pizza that's coming from inside your house"

"Ah..."

Oh good job pinky ya made her blush she's cute like that too...

"So-Sorry for that um care to join me for dinner?"

"If it's not a nusense then I will gladly join"

Pinky entered the house and we finally were able to eat food the pizza was also apparently extra cheese since Haku for got the salami but y'know I didn't mind as long as Haku was happy. All three of us sat around the living room table and ate the pizza that's freshly made. Both Haku and pinky were talkin mostly catching up on stuff so I went ahead and grabbed a slice that I so much enjoyed. I started to get up and say my good bye's sadly. Haku followed me to the door and I was outside the door before I started to speak again.

"Hey, Haku...um I didn't mean to but I uh saw your last test it was in your bag..."

"EH!? Y-Y-You saw!"

"I didn't mean too I swear! But uh d-do ya by any chance want me to tutor ya?"

"Really! Neru you're willing to tutor me!"

"Well yeah but if ya want to that is..."

"Of course I do!*hugs Neru*Thank you thank you*smile*"

"Yeah no prob"

Haku let me go after a few seconds and we parted ways. I was super happy that she'd agree to my offer so I went home really happy and thinkin bout Haku in an apron all the way home. When I got home I launched myself onto my bed and gave out a long love struck sigh.

"Haku...I love ya"
