A Prick from the Rose
Chapter Seven
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and my OC's!
With Rose, Hikaru, and Tayler
Rose came running through the open door of their second headquarters.
"Boy do I have some news for you, Boss!"
Tayler looked over to her, halting the conversation she was having with Hikaru.
"Hm? What?"
"I found out that there is a secret affair going on!"
"Ooooohh, who's it between?" Hikaru asked, all valley girl like.
"Krista and Kyoya!"
Tayler's eyebrows furrowed, "No."
"What?" the two looked at her, confused.
"No. There will not be an affair going on! I called Kyoya first!"
"Um, well, you kinda lost that battle." Rose mumbled.
"SHUT UP!" Tayler yelled, throwing a cup at her.
Rose ducked and squeaked. "What the heck was that for?"
"Don't come in here and tell me such things! My sister is a worthless piece of crap and doesn't deserve anything!"
Hikaru's eyes widened and he looked from the blinking Rose to the furious Tayler.
"Uh, okay, what am I missing here?" he asked.
"Nothing that concerns you."
"B-Boss, do you… Do you like Kyoya?" Rose asked, shocked.
Tayler stared at her and then stormed out of the room.
"Wow, I spend my whole day hiding up in a tree for THIS!" Rose exclaimed, exasperated. "Just wow…"
"I am so confused…" Hikaru muttered.
"Well, it's a long story. Well here's the short version, Tayler, Krista, Aylin, Mya, and I all used to be best friends, ignoring the fact that Tayler and Krista are sisters, but then their mom got really sick and well she died. Then a few years after that, their dad got arrested for stealing some food from the downtown market. Tayler said that it was all Krista's fault and so they spilt after that. I saw Tayler again when she and Mori showed back up here at Red Rose. And I believe Krista ran into Aylin over at Blue Rose, when Honey brought her in. Oh and they both physically harmed each other, too."
"Wow. I didn't know that siblings fought." Hikaru stated.
Rose stared at him. "REALLY?"
"Yeah. My brother was my best friend."
"Ah. I see."
Hikaru nodded. Then there was an awkward silence.
"Well, this is awkward..." Rose mumbled. "Bye now."
And then she was gone. Hikaru blinked.
"Well, um, yeah. I'll never understand how she does that…"
"THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S A SECRET!" Rose yelled from up on the balcony.
"Yeah, yeah…" (Hikaru)
"SHHH! DON'T TELL ANYONE!" (Rose)
"Shut up." (Hikaru)
"NOOOO!" (Rose)
"SHUT UP!" Hikaru growled.
Rose just rolled her eyes and went over to her bed.
"I'M TAKING A NAP! IF YOU WAKE ME, YOU WILL BE MURDERED!"
"Ya, ya…" then Hikaru made his exit.
With Honey, Mori, and Mya
"So…He's at Blue Rose huh?" Mya asked.
Honey nodded, happily. "I HAVE AN IDEA!"
"What?" Mya asked.
"Let's go visit him! I want to see the headquarters again anyways."
"…Yeah." Mori stated.
"Okay~! You two go visit Red Rose and I'll go visit Blue Rose!"
They all nodded and so they left.
With Mori and Mya
"So, where are we going?"
"Warehouse District." Mori responded.
"Ah, I've never actually been to the headquarters. I stayed at a little shed a little east of the Warehouse District."
"Really?" Mori asked looking at her.
"Uh-huh. But I remember Rose tried to drag me inside once when it was raining…I screamed and fought back."
Mori nodded and decided not to comment on that. They walked a little bit longer.
"We're here."
Rose was up on her bed which was by the window. She just so happened to look out and see Mori standing there.
She screamed out of shock and happiness. She didn't know that she would see him again.
"BOSS! BOSS!" She yelled, jumping down from her balcony and over to Tayler. She shook her awake.
"WHAT ON EARTH COULD YOU POSSIBLY NEED AT THIS HOUR, ROSE?" Tayler screamed.
"I-It's Mori! He's back!"
"No, your hallucinating again. Go back to bed."
Then the door opened and in walked…Mya. Soon followed by Mori.
"SEE?" Rose asked, jumping up and down while pointing.
"Oh…."
"Hi!" Mya exclaimed.
Mori waved slightly.
"You're back!" Rose said excitedly, she had more things to say but she said those in her head. You're back! I'm so happy! I never thought I'd see you again! Those kinds of thoughts.
"Tayler. Rose." Mori said bluntly.
"Good to know you still remember our names…" Tayler muttered.
Rose wanted to smack her so bad for being so rude to him.
"What's all the noise about?" Hikaru muttered, walking into the room.
"MORI'S BACK!"
"Oh, cool. Keep it down, some of us are trying to sleep." And then he left.
"Rose, can I talk to you for a minute?" Mori asked, gesturing to the door.
"Uh…s-sure Mori!" Rose stammered and quickly walked past him and out the door.
Mori turned and followed.
"So," Rose started looking at the wall, "What did you want to talk to me about, Mori?"
"How's your training going?"
Rose mentally sighed in relief. "It's still going well."
"That's good." Mori said.
Then there was the sound of footsteps. Rose felt like someone was towering over her. She turned and found Mori, directly in front of her. Just barely enough space between them.
"Uh, um, M-Mori, what's with the closeness?"
He only 'hnned' and rested a hand on her shoulder.
Rose was already turning red.
"Rose Fells…"
"Y-Yes, that is my name."
"…Your eyes look really beautiful under the moonlight."
"Th-Th-Thank you."
"Your lips look really soft…"
"Uh, okay…?"
He rested his other arm up against the wall, effectively cornering Rose. Which of course Rose was as red as a tomato or a rose…
"M-Mori, what are you doing?"
There came no reply, but Mori did bend down and kiss her softly on the cheek. She turned even redder, if that was even possible.
"You smell like like flowers…"
"That's great. Are you okay?"
"I'm just fine now that you're here."
"WHOA! WHOA! Hold up! Just, whoa! Just stop! Give me a minute to process what's going on!"
"Hm? But nothing's wrong, my love."
"Since when am I your LOVE?"
"You've always had a special place in my heart. Ever since I met you eleven years ago…"
"Oh look, you memorized how many years we've known each other. That's only a little weird."
"But love is like that."
And then he kissed her delicately on the lips. Rose was just frozen, standing there. There was a loud gasp coming from behind them. Mori backed away and they both looked to see Honey.
"Takashi!"
"Uh, um, uh, I, uh, we…I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS!" Rose shouted, both hands stretched out and she was waving them both.
Honey tipped his head to the side. "Takashi! I knew you liked her! But you said I could ask her out!"
"WHAT?" Rose screamed.
Both boys looked at her. And then she fainted, Mori caught her just before she hit the ground.
A couple hours later
"Wait so, Mori, he was just tired? That's why he was flirting with me?" Rose asked.
"Well, kind of…" Honey mumbled.
"You see, Takashi, he really does like you…But, uh, he didn't mean to do that..."
"Wait, so then, you like me too?"
"Well, theoretically speaking, yes."
"Uh, um, so I wasn't supposed to know that you guys liked me?"
"Nope! We were going to just not say anything and let you fall for Hika-chan or something."
"Excuse me? Why would I fall for Hikaru?"
Honey shrugged. "Because it just seems likelier, I guess."
"B-But I still don't understand how you both can like me."
"We just do. It's the mysteries of love."
"Okay, well, will Mori be okay?"
Well speaking of Mori, he was over sitting on Rose's bed. He had his head in his hands, shaking his head and muttering something.
"Yeah, just give him a few minutes. Normally, he would forget that this stuff even happened, but this time is a lot different."
Rose looked over at him. Then looked to Honey. And then back again to Mori, she did this a few times.
"I'm sorry! Did I do something? No, don't worry or feel this way about me!"
Honey shook his head, sadly. Mori even looked up.
"What?" Rose whispered.
Honey laughed lifelessly. "Not like we can help it."
"You're making me feel bad! Stop it!"
"We aren't trying to, Rose-chan! It's just we've liked you for a while now. I guess, it just can't be helped."
Rose sighed. "Well, how can I help fix this?"
"Well, you could try and forget it ever happened?" Honey suggested.
"I don't think that that's possible."
"Then there is only one solution."
"And what's that?" Rose asked, preparing for the worst.
"You'll have to go out with one of us!"
Rose face palmed, and she kept her hand there for a minute.
"So, I'm supposed to choose. Between you two. Really?"
Honey and Mori nodded.
"It can't be helped."
"When do I have to choose exactly?"
"Well, as soon as you can." Mori said.
Honey looked at the clock and clicked his tongue.
"We should be going. See you later, Rose-chan!" Honey waved, happily.
They went down the stairs and said there goodbyes. Then Mya, Honey, and Mori all left.
Rose shook her head and sat down on her bed.
"This is going to be awkward/tough."
Suddenly, Tayler's voice rang out.
"CODE THREE! EVERYONE GATHER YOUR WEAPONS AND PREPARE TO LEAVE!"
With Krista, Kyoya, Aylin, and Kaoru
Meanwhile Krista was screaming, "GET READY FOR BATTLE! AYLIN, STOP YOUR WHINING AND GET YOUR BOW AND ARROWS!", over and over again.
"Yes, Boss!" everyone exclaimed.
Aylin ran and got her bow and arrows. Then they all set off for battle, well, everyone but Kyoya. He was stuck at the headquarters.
