Chapter nine
I'll take you home if you don't leave me at the front door
You body's cold but girl we're getting so warm
And I was thinking of ways that I could get inside
Tonight we're falling in love
This feeling tearing me up
-Metro Station
Habibah
When Habibah woke up the next morning she had no recollection of the events last night. She remembered struggling under something, but that was it. Maybe it was all a dream, she thought. She was in her room, oddly tucked in bed, and without any warning the man named Senji strode into her room as if he had every right to.
"Rise and shine, Habibah!" she gave him a major question look and he laughed it off.
"Saw you walking back to your room really early this morning" she sat up in bed, looking around for paper and a pencil.
"Aw, don't worry about that, actually that's why I'm here" Senji held up a black permanent marker in his hand, waving it around as if it were candy. He went up to her, and on her right hand wrote yes and on her left wrote no.
"See? That way, you don't always have to worry about writing stuff down, but don't count on it" he smiled confidently at her and she returned his expression.
"I don't usually-err, well, actually this is the first time I've ever been in someone else's room…huh, isn't that weird?" Habibah raised her left hand, and Senji laughed again.
"Well don't just sit there, get up and get dressed!" Habibah gave him another questioning look,
"Why? Don't you wanna watch me work out!" her face turned a light sanguine. It was embarrassing to do, but she raised her right hand.
"Get a move on then, the weight room opens in thirty minutes"
Habibah showered, and put on a bright summer orange dress that clasped lightly onto her waist and flowed down a little past her thigh. It had long bell-bottom sleeves and a wide collar. She put on light brown flip-flops and went outside her room where Senji was waiting. The instant he saw her he turned his face away, his skin turned dark red. Habibah pouted, what was wrong now?
"C-can't you find something else to where?" he said like some child that didn't want to eat his vegetables.
"Wh-what if the wind picks up and your dress flies up and…and" Habibah looked at him in disbelief. 1) they were underground so it would be impossible for a natural breeze to lift up her dress, 2) what was up with him and girl clothes?
"Know what, never mind lets go" he said, though his face was still a light red. And she followed him down the hall to the weight room.
Senji Kiyomasa
What the hell is wrong with her! He yelled in his thoughts. Why would she go put on such an attractive and short and revealing collar dress! While they were in the weight room, as he lifted, he couldn't help but sneak peeks at her.
The way the dress shaped her pear-curving waist, her breasts weren't big, but he wasn't nit picky about a woman's boobs. Her skin was so smooth and flawless, and her countenance seemed all to twistingly ethereally. It was impossible to believe that she was a human, more like…
"Like an Angel" he said to himself. Habibah was staring intently at one the weight machines, probably trying to figure out how it works, and when she noticed his eyes on her she smiled so sweetly and elegantly purifying her gorgeous features.
"Wanna give it a try?" he said, referring to the machine she was staring at, she gave him a hell-no look while raising her left hand. He chuckled, God she was so adorable. He'd been working out for an hour, and was sweating profusely.
"Can you bring me my water bottle?" he pointed to it even though it was right next to her. As Habibah walked towards him, he forgot to warn her about the random crevices in the floor, and she easily stumbled upon one.
But before she completely fell, he swiftly grabbed her arm and pulled her to him…hard. She practically smacked onto his firm, sweating, muscular body. Her body was pressed against his and he instantly sighed at how soft she felt.
She even felt like a bunny! He wrapped his arm around her waist, urging her closer, wanting to feel her softness that contradicted his own. But, and sadly, she pushed away from him. As he stared at her, she glared at him warningly. She gave him a don't-do-that-again look. He began to ruffle his hair, a thing he does when madly nervous.
"I'm sorry" honestly he thought she'd like being close to him.
"Your so soft, I couldn't help it. You feel so nice" he watched her chestnut skin turn a dark rose. Her whole body was blushing! He chuckled mockingly.
Azuma Genkaku
He didn't want to part from his Kannon. When he held her in his arms, she felt so soft and weak, he couldn't believe that she had shown weakness to him. But that only meant that she was beginning to trust him, and he wanted that.
He wanted to serve his Kannon in every way possible, with his body, mind, and soul. When she finished crying in his arms she lye on him for a while, silent. Then she pried herself from his arms and showered all of the blood off of her in his bathroom, she put on one of his shirts and left.
He told her she could stay as long as she wanted to, but she insisted that she go; mentioning something about being different later. But she promised she'd come back, and that's all he needed to hear. The promoter had put her in a Carnival Corpse tonight, and he was jubilant of what his precious Kannon would do to her prey.
Ganta
Ganta felt like he was getting closer to the Red man, yet why did he get this sickening feeling that he was just too far out of his reach? Him, Shiro, and Yo were running through the halls trying to find an entrance to this supposedly not existent G-block before being caught by guards. Shiro was puffing her cheeks and wouldn't look at him for some unknown reason, and she wouldn't tell him how to get to G-block.
"Come on Shiro, just tell me already we're gonna get caught if you don't!" he yelled, frustrated at her. She sighed heavily,
"Fine!" she skidded to a stop, stepping up to a large vent on the bottom of a wall and with brute force kicked it open.
"Shiro always goes through the vents, ya just need a little push and that's it"
"Uh, that's more than just a little" Yo said, the vent and the surrounding area of wall was severely damaged. They quickly crawled through the vent. On the other side of the wall there was a long passage way. They ran until Ganta had to stop and take a breather. They arrived in a large room, and Ganta sat down on the floor.
"Hey…is that a door?" Yo said, pointing to huge edifice that had the letter G in crimson.
"G-block!" Ganta yelled, he didn't think they'd find it so easily, but he was glad that it did exist.
Habibah
She really did like the way Senji felt against her. He felt so powerful and bold unlike her weaker than a feather self. She hated that she pushed him away, and she hated that sad look in his eye when she did, but she had promised herself that she'd only trust herself, no one else.
Not even this beautiful warrior before her. After watching him lift weights for two hours, there was a sudden ripple in the ground, and Senji had shooed her back to her room before hastily running off. He seemed excited, but over what? She flopped down on her bed, continuing to think of his stiff body, his warrior-like presence, and his gentleness to her. She began to feel guilty of pushing him away.
Yo
So this random dude appears out of nowhere and takes out the robot that apparently was sent after them (specifically Ganta). And then the guy starts attacking Ganta with some strange ability. And then even stranger Ganta fights back with a similar ability and then some guards wearing different outfits than the typical ones show and up and tranquilize both of them. And then here he is being shoved out of some random opening wall with Shiro.
"And don't tell a soul" one of the guards said before letting the wall before him close. And the bastard had taken his cast points! He didn't give a damn that Ganta was taken, unlike Shiro, but if he wanted to buy his sister's freedom he'd have to get those points back. He worked hard and lied too much for them to be taken away like this.
"Shiro" the girl turned her attention to him,
"We've gotta save Ganta! He's too weak to be on his own!" she cried. Ugh, why is she so annoying, Yo thought.
"Don't worry we'll save Ganta" he lied,
"We just need another way into the ventilation systems"
A/N: uh-oh, it seems Habibah is taking a liking to the Crow and KuroKami is favoring Genkaku, but what of Tamaki? Will he be able to redeem himself and fall for KuroKami or will he actually find a way to tame her? Stay tuned (haha, this sounds like reality tv)
