Chapter 7: Pasts
Luka had just taken a shower. There was only one problem; she had no clothes. She sighed, exasperated; she already had enough of Gakupo's t-shirts. She opened the wardrobe in her bedroom. To her big surprise, it was full of clothes! Mostly women's, too. She picked out white shorts and a light blue blouse. The blouse was a little tight and the shorts were a size too big, but it was fine for now.
She went to the library and found Gakupo.
"How come you have girl's clothes in your house?"
"They're my mother's," he said, looking over his book.
She looked at him with concern. "Where are your parents?"
"…dead. Their plane crashed when they went to the Caribbean's." His voice was quiet and it sounded choked. "You're actually sleeping in their bedroom."
She sat next to him.
"I'm sorry…" She took a long pause. "My mom died of brain tumor when I was ten… After that, my dad went on long business trips and usually left me home alone. If I was lucky, grandma was there… But she kind of lives far, you know?"
His purple eye gazed at her intensely. "I guess we both understand each other, in a way. No one wanted to take care of me. But, I was sixteen, so I guess it wasn't that bad of an issue…."
"Yeah, I think we do," she agreed.
…
Len saw his sister lying down on the couch, just staring blankly at the floor.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"I feel… dumped…"
"Aw, come on! Luka didn't dump you… She just-"
"Decided to stay with that dude," she mumbled, cutting him off.
He sighed and ran his fingers through her hair. And then, she just burst into sobs.
"I'M A HORRIBLE FRIEND!" she shrieked.
"No, Rin, you're-"
"WHEN HER MOM DIED, I COULDN'T COMFORT HER! I DIDN'T KNOW HOW!"
"Rin, listen to me," he said, in a low voice.
She looked up at her twin.
"I think your fetching that a bit too far. You know, if that beast-"
"Kakashi dude."
"Okay. If that Kakashi dude really saved her life, then maybe she's just repaying him the favor."
"Huh?" She was confused by Len's deduction. "How can living with that dude be repaying him a favor?"
"Yeah, well, you know, just think about it; he's a little lonely…"
"EW! LEN! THAT SOUNDED WRONG! WHAT IF SHE GETS RAPED BY THE MAN?!"
"You sound like Miku," he stated.
…
Gakupo was heading out the door.
"Where are you going?" Luka asked.
"Getting groceries…." he said, almost exasperated. She understood; he was probably stared at wherever he went.
"Let me do it," she said, smiling.
"Oh, no, it's-"
"…Perfectly fine!" She took the list and the money from his hand and left the building.
…
Luka was in the vegetable section, getting eggplants for Gakupo. As she grabbed one, someone took it from her hand; Kaito.
"What do you want?" she asked, irritated.
"To know if you're alright," he answered with an awkward smile.
"Oh, yeah! I'm perfectly FINE. I mean, you ALMOST killed me thanks to your BRILLIANT idea of FUCKING ME!"
"But-"
"Shut up."
"Luk-"
"ARE YOU DEAF!? KAITO, WE ARE OVER! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF MIKU AND RAPED A DOZEN GIRLs! YOU. ARE. RETARDED!"
"Not a dozen…."
"Right…. MIKI, SEEU, IA, SONIKA, YUKI, NERU, HAKU, LILY AND ALMOST MIKU! You're right! That makes 9; and almost me! At least I know you know how to count to, Shion!"
And with that, she left, leaving Kaito being stared at by strangers.
"Sir! What happened?" Piko said, rushing to him.
"Follow that girl!" Kaito said, pointing Luka with his blue nail.
"Alright! For you Sir, I'll do anything!"
"Err, sure kid… NOW FOLLOW HER!"
"R-right!"
