Number 9
||BTW!; I'll be writing in first person now, since I'm kinda better at that then anything else...|| Sorry I hadn't wrote for a while.. Okay here is chapter 9~ Welp, it's almost Christmas so I will do a Christmas special today. I don't own anything from Ookami-san and Her Seven Companions. Just my character Amaya, and future ones? This has a bit of Ryoushi & Amaya I guess. KAY READ ON!~
Amaya's POV(Will be doing this from now on.);
My face turned into something scary. I had felt the piercing bullet through my stomach, and soon felt my shirt getting soaked red with blood. I lifted the guy up by the collar of his shirt, all of my strength had built up into a furious rage. I pulled the gun out of his hands and pointed it at his head.
"You see this thing? This kills people. And you decided on doing that." I pulled the trigger shooting him in the arm. He yelled out in pain. "Get out before the police get here." I growled, glaring at the man.
I held my stomach, and pointed the gun at the cafe door. "I said get out, you moron! If I ever catch you doing something like this again, I won't be afraid to put another bullet in between your eyes!" I screamed, my face contorted with pain and anger.
The man nodded at me, holding his arm he ran out of the cafe, and disappeared from sight. I staggered back into a table, holding myself up with my free hand. I felt some of the blood ooze of my fingers, I felt faint. I slowly looked down and saw the circle of blood that had soaked my shirt. Ryoushi quickly ran over to me, and stared at me. My vision was blurry, and I could see darkness. Darkness seemed like a pretty good option.
"Ryoushi..." I muttered, before letting my hand slip off the table and falling to the ground. My eyes closed and I saw darkness.
I found myself in a hospital bed. I looked around the room, it was bright white. I felt so tired, and sore. I closed my eyes again for a bit, then opened the fast and turned my head to see the person who was in my room. I stared down at the sleeping Ryoushi that had his head on the edge of my bed. I didn't even notice before, had he been here all night? Wait, I don't even know how long I've been in here. I slowly ran a hand through Ryoushi's hair and he stirred. His eyes fluttered open, and he let out a yawn.
"How long have I been here?" I asked, staring at him. He rubbed his eyes, and then went silent for a moment.
"About two days." He answered, rubbing his hands together. He looked towards the door, like he was expecting someone to just waltz right in. "Yukime was here last night, she cried for awhile. She thought you were gonna die." Ryoushi's hair covered his eyes. "I was starting to doubt that you were going to live too." He whispered, even though his hair was covering his eyes I could tell he was staring at his hands.
I stared up at the ceiling feeling like the most miserablest person in the whole wide world. "You get out of here in a couple days. They said they got the bullet out pretty soon and that they stitched your stomach up." I soon went back at staring at Ryoushi. I pulled down the covers, and lifted up my shirt not even caring that Ryoushi could see. I looked at the little bit of stitches that were on my stomach. I slowly pulled my shirt back down.
"Does the Otogi Bank know?" I asked in a whisper, staring at the wall. I felt guilty, for making everyone have to come all the way here and see me. I felt guilty mostly because Ryoushi had stayed here since I'd been entered into the hospital.
"Yeah, they came when they first found out. Which was a couple hours after you got into the hospital." He told me, and I sighed.
"Do you remember that one time when you came to America to celebrate Christmas, and I got sick and threw up on your shoes?" I laughed, and Ryoushi smiled. I stared at the ceiling remembering when we were little. Such bittersweet memories.
"Open your present next, Amaya!" A younger version of Ryoushi called. His hair was short, and his green eyes shown perfectly. He had a bright smile on his face, and he was staring at a younger version of Amaya. She had two ponytails in her hair, and dirty blonde hair. She was sitting on the ground, holding a present in her hands. They were both sitting in front of a decorated Christmas tree. Ryoushi was wearing a santa hat on his head.
"Oh, um, alright." Amaya's voice was soft, kind of cherubic like. She carefully tore open the wrapping paper. At the last tear she had gotten a paper cut. She flinched letting go of the present. She looked at the small cut on her finger, and she sighed. A tiny bit of blood came out.
"Let me see." Ryoushi took her hand and looked at the small paper cut. He brought her finger up to his lips and kissed it gently. He could taste just a bit of her blood but ignored it. He soon let go and smiled at her. "There, that should make it all better!" He laughed, and handing her back her present. She looked at it and a smile grew on her face.
"It's a doll!" She opened the box and pulled out the doll. It had blonde hair, like her and the same color eyes. She flung herself onto Ryoushi, tackling him to the ground. She kissed his cheek, various amount of times. Ryoushi started laughing, hugging her back. "Thank you!" She got off him and spinned around, holding her new doll.
"You're welcome!" He shrugged. She stopped spinning around and stood still. She stared at Ryoushi, and her face turned a little pale. "You alright?" He asked, tilting his head and standing up. He took a step forward but she had already bent over and threw up onto his shoes. Ryoushi rubbed the back of his head, trying not to look down at them.
"Uh... mom!" He called, standing still and staring at Amaya. She fell onto her butt and started to cry, she gagged again, but luckily didn't throw up. "I-It's alright, Amaya." Ryoushi tried to reassure her, but he didn't want to do anything until his shoes were cleaned off and he got some new socks.
"Yeah, it was pretty gross." He chuckled, giving her a soft smile.
"Ryoushi, it's almost Christmas again, isn't it?" I asked, looking at him my eyes were examining his face and trying to figure out what he was thinking. If he was thinking up of all the memories like I was. If he was thinking about me at this very moment and all of the things that happened when we were younger. Maybe he didn't even remember.
"It's not almost, it is." He nodded, and I tried to hit myself on the head. Ryoushi instantly grabbed my arm, before it hit my forehead. "You're hurt, you don't need to be hurting yourself anymore then you already are." He growled at me. This was the first time I had ever seen Ryoushi being stern. His grip on my wrist loosened a bit and I let my hand slide to his, and we put our hands together. Of course his hands were bigger, he was older than me and a boy. I let my fingers slide in between his, and soon our hands were clasped together. I stared at them in wonder and in a dream-like fashion.
"Go home and celebrate Christmas with Yukime, and Ryouko, and Ringo. And everyone." I told him, it was almost like a demand. I waited for him to answer, but he just sat there silently still holding onto my hand. Deep inside, I didn't really want him to leave. I wanted him to stay right here and be with me on Christmas, but I couldn't have asked that. That would've been to selfish of me.
"I'm not leaving you alone on Christmas. Not this year, not any other year." He stated, his hair covering his eyes and his face turning to stare at the wall. My heart started beating fast and my face tinted a shade of pink. He soon let go of my hand, and my hand fell to my side. I thought one of the machines should have been beeping saying that my heart rate was going fast, but it didn't. There was a monitor, but it didn't make any noises.
"Ryoushi." I murmured, a sweet smile on my face. I reached out for him, to touch his face, but I couldn't reach. Ryoushi looked at my hand and leaned forward, staring at me in the eyes. I had put my hand on his cheek, and stroked it with my thumb. "Well, I guess, Merry Christmas." I whispered, as he started to lean closer and closer to me.
"Merry Christmas to you, Amaya." He stared at me, and soon his forehead was against mine. I stared into his bright green eyes.
We both leaned forward a bit, and kissed lightly.
It was for only a second before we both pulled away quickly, shaking our heads and blushing. Ryoushi rubbed the back of his neck, looking away from me and I rolled my eyes.
"Thanks, man." I told him, and I saw him smile. I lightly pushed him away and then we both burst out into laughs. "God, that was cheesy. Let's never do that again." Ryoushi nodded, holding his stomach and we both had giant, toothy grins on our face.
Then the lights turned off. Ryoushi froze, and furrowed his eyebrows. He slowly turned his head to the door and saw a group of kids standing there. A giggle came, as the lights turned back on. And as I looked to see who it was, it was that Red Riding Hood bitch. My face turned red, and so did Ryoushi's. I could see Ryouko's eyes spark with anger, but quickly disolve as she tried not to show her emotions.
"Aw, that was just adorable!" Ringo giggled, clapping her hands. She pointed at the small table by the room windows and Tarou walked over and put a apple pie on it. "We thought we would bring you a little something. You know, since it's Christmas and all! We don't want you to miss out on the fun too!" Ringo ran over to the other side of my bed and held my hand. She had a smile on her face as she pulled out a small box from her bag and handed it to me. "This is from me and Ryouko." She nodded, telling me I could open it. I opened the small box and saw a Oynx ring with a silver band. I carefully took it out and put it on my middle finger, staring at it.
"Wow." I whispered, and smiled at Ringo. "Thank you guys, but you didn't have to do this." My smile turned into a frown as I told them I didn't have anything for them.
"Oh don't worry, we don't care." Tarou shrugged, hugging Otohime close to him. He kissed the top of her head and she smiled.
Liszt walked over next and handed me a bag with tissue paper in it. I pulled out the different colored tissue paper and looked to see a matching necklace with the ring. He took it out for me and put it around my neck. I touched the necklace, feeling so shocked that my friends would do all this for me. I stared up at Liszt, feeling warmth bubble in my chest and a feeling of confidence.
Right then, I grabbed his tie, pulled him down close to me and kissed him real hard. Liszt's eyes were filled with shock, but he didn't pull away. I kept a firm grip on his tie and when I let go and I smiled.
"That can be your Christmas present, Liszt." I giggled, and he gave me a soft smile.
He pat my head and let a little Otsuu and Majo came over next. They handed me a box. I opened the lid and saw a wonderful shirt. It was black and white and had a panda face on it. I nodded at them.
"Thank you so much." They hugged me and then I saw a familiar white hair boy come into the room. He was also holding a gift bag in his hands. Everyone fell silent, as they stared at him. "Hiro, not you too." I groaned, seeing the present in his hands. He chuckled, walking over to my bed and handing me my gift.
He glanced at Ryouko and she stared at him, like she was trying to figure out who he was. I opened the present and it was a new set of headphones. I stared at them. "You didn't have to do this." I told him, feeling the guilt come rushing back.
"But I wanted to, I thought you might like them so I picked them up." He ruffled my hair, and was going to turn around to leave when I grabbed his arm. "Stay, Ringo said we're going to have a small Christmas party in here. We have some apple pie." I begged him, and he stared at me. He nodded quietly, sitting back at the edge of the bed. Ringo started to hand out some slices of apple pie. Everyone was talking and having a great time. I laid on my bed, smiling at everyone. I soon felt my eyes snap shut and I entered into the dreaming world.
A/N;
I don't know if I want to do RyoushixAmaya through this whole story, because they are cousins. And that's just incest. And I don't think people want to read a story with incest in it. But I don't know. You'd have to tell me who you want her to be with and then I'd write stuff, and yeah. I have no clue what I am even saying right now. But if you want to decide who Amaya should date throughout this story please tell me!
Well, like I said I hoped you liked it. Sorry I hadn't written for awhile, I've been busy and just didn't have the inspiration to even write for awhile. But since it's close Christmas and everything I felt like writing a Christmas chapter. Well I hope you all have a Very - Merry - Christmas.
